Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

After completing the Foundation Establishment, Wei Fang felt a strange sense of relief, and the bottleneck in the late stage of the False Core realm disappeared without a trace.

From then until the successful formation of the Golden Core, the only mandatory requirements are the cultivation method, the quality of the spiritual energy in the body, and the spiritual materials required for the formation of the Golden Core.

The defense team has already made full preparations for these strict requirements.

To be on the safe side, he also practiced a secret technique he had obtained from Tianxing City.

This technique, while not possessing any great supernatural power, can make the spiritual energy within a Foundation Establishment cultivator's body three times more refined.

While it may not be as effective as the Azure Origin Sword Technique, it can still contribute significantly to the success of Core Formation.

Wei Fang, with his foresight, was naturally not troubled by how to form his core.

It took nearly two years of effort, along with more than a dozen bottles of elixirs, to successfully master this secret technique.

At this point, the essence within his body had reached its limit.

Unless some heaven-defying cultivation technique or elixir can cleanse his marrow and refine his bones, this is already the limit of what he can currently cultivate.

"In that case, it seems the time has come. Little Jiao, from now on, guard the cave well and do not let anything disturb me."

After closing the stone door to his bedroom, Wei Fang stopped paying attention to anything and began to empty his mind and wander into the outside world.

One year, two years, and eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the area around the twenty-six-story cave dwelling on the sacred mountain, which had been clear, suddenly exhibited strange celestial phenomena, with thunderclaps resounding.

Before long, all kinds of spiritual energy rushed in from all directions, creating a huge spiritual energy vortex covering an area of ​​more than a hundred miles.

"This is...this is the phenomenon of Core Formation! Someone has formed their Core on the Holy Mountain! What a lucky guy."

"Look, look! Someone has reached the Core Formation stage! We might as well try to become their disciples. Perhaps this senior will be so pleased that he will accept us as his students."

……

Wei Fang sat cross-legged in his cave, completely unaware of what was happening outside, and he didn't bother to look at any of the various communication talismans.

After spending two months stabilizing his Golden Core, Wei Fang finally ended his seclusion.

He came out of his secluded retreat to the garden outside his cave and took out spiritual fruits and teas to savor them.

While drinking tea, he used his divine sense to investigate each of the communication talismans sent from outside over the past few days.

Most of the dozens of transmission talismans were from Foundation Establishment cultivators who wanted to become his disciples and receive guidance, but Wei Fang casually threw them away.

There were also some congratulatory messages from several Core Formation cultivators from the Holy Mountain, and I hope we can exchange some ideas sometime.

Wei Fang put all of these away, intending to take a look at them at some time.

The rest are messages sent by Miaoyinmen over the past ten years or so, mostly sent by Wang Yuan.

The recent letters indicate that she is going into seclusion to form her core, and that her two envoys will be in charge of various matters thereafter.

If Wei Fang has any needs, he can go to the two of them.

"The Miaoyin Sect is ultimately too weak. Wang Yuan is facing a fatal calamity; her ambition to expand the Miaoyin Sect makes this calamity difficult to avoid..."

"You can dodge it once, but you can't dodge it forever..."

"Never mind. I'll just give them a subtle hint later, and that will settle this matter once and for all."

After sorting things out, Wei Fang took out several items from his storage bag and began to make plans for his future cultivation.

Without any special abilities, his only advantage lies in his spiritual root and his precognitive ability to foresee major events and opportunities for mortals.

The advantage of spiritual roots will eventually dissipate and disappear as his cultivation level increases.

Therefore, from the moment he began cultivating immortality, he first formulated a plan for a certain stage, carefully weighed the pros and cons, and then acted step by step according to the plan.

Without disrupting the plot, this is already a very safe approach.

Even so, they often encountered danger while exploring the outside world.

In the end, the world of cultivation is a place where one person's success is built on the bones of countless others.

"With the previous transactions with the Crimson Fire Demon and the proceeds from the subsequent auction, we have already collected a small amount of materials for crafting the magic weapon."

After Wei Fang successfully formed his core, the first thing he did was to prepare to refine his natal magic weapon, but this was something that couldn't be rushed.

Unlike the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation, the materials required for crafting magical artifacts are far more expensive than those for Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.

He especially dared not attempt to refine needle-type magical artifacts without any clues or experience.

Flying needle-type magical artifacts have always been known in the cultivation world for being difficult to forge.

The materials needed are all rare items like Gangyin Sand and Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron, which can easily cost tens of thousands of spirit stones. We simply can't afford to waste them.

"Now that the Golden Core is stable, the matter of magic treasures must be put on the agenda. We must refine them, even if it is difficult, and we must refine them well."

After making up his mind, Wei Fang calmed the ripples in his heart and began to make talismans in an orderly manner, and began to study other miscellaneous arts, such as alchemy.

Ten years passed after Wei Fang moved his cave dwelling to the 45th floor of the sacred mountain. During this time, although Wei Fang occasionally discussed and exchanged ideas with fellow cultivators who had reached the Core Formation stage, he never left Tianxing City.

Meanwhile, over the past ten years, his cultivation has steadily progressed to the early stage of Core Formation, and he has already reached a high level in talisman making.

They can also refine quite a few intermediate and advanced talismans.

Wei Fang earned quite a lot of spirit stones from this.

However, he did not become rich as a result.

He could only say that he had some knowledge of alchemy, but he was not an expert in it.

Firstly, he lacked sufficient aged medicinal herbs and demon cores to support him, and secondly, he genuinely felt that his talent in alchemy was rather mediocre compared to his talent in talisman making.

He has now mastered the art of formations, which he values ​​highly, after ten years of dedicated study.

He can also refine most of the materials for making battle flags, as well as the battle flags for which the production methods are sold on the market.

However, most of them are just ordinary goods.

The methods for crafting truly exquisite array flags are closely guarded secrets of each sect, so how could he possibly find them so easily?

Even so, he still dared to call himself a master of formations among the rogue cultivators.

The cave he was in had now been decorated with his latest masterpiece, the "Crimson Flame Spirit Trapping Array".

This set of scriptures was put up for sale by a declining sect, and Wei Fang, who happened to be participating in the auction, saw it and bought it.

It is said that if the materials used in this formation are of sufficient age, they are enough to trap and kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even with slightly inferior materials, it would be no problem to trap and kill an ordinary Core Formation cultivator.

However, these words should be taken with a grain of salt. To unleash the full power of this formation, the array plate and array flags require at least three ten-thousand-year-old spirit trees, and they must be of the same attribute.

In addition, there were several other materials that Wei Fang had never even heard of.

The set being refined now is a "simplified version" made with a few thousand-year-old spirit trees and other spiritual materials, commonly known as the "beggar's version".

It can only exert less than 30% of the formation's effectiveness, and can trap a mid-to-late stage Core Formation cultivator for half an hour.

Wei Fang spent a great deal of money to refine this item; it wasn't something to be trifled with.

He already had the idea of ​​going out.

Firstly, since entering Tianxing City, he has basically said goodbye to fighting for the past few decades.

Now he possesses great cultivation but is unaware of the differences between himself and others.

The sparring among the fellow Daoists on the sacred mountain was merely a brief exchange and could not be considered a true test of their skills in the face of life and death.
