Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Chapter 114 Two Years

Jiang Yun felt the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and his heart stirred slightly.

If one has the opportunity to form a Golden Core, this secret realm is undoubtedly the best place to attempt it.

Jiang Yun shook his head gently, then leaped onto a branch of a large tree and sat down to meditate.

There's no rush to explore hidden realms and seek opportunities.

He planned to send those Foundation Establishment cultivators to scout ahead and eliminate any dangers before taking action.

Five days passed quickly.

Jiang Yun jumped down from the tree and began exploring the secret realm.

He did not enter the inner circle of the secret realm directly, but instead explored the outer perimeter.

Most cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment seek opportunities on the outskirts of the secret realm.

If you're lucky, you might come across a few ancient medicinal herbs.

A few cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, unafraid of death and believing themselves to be superior, continued to venture deeper into the secret realm despite the danger.

After wandering around the perimeter for two days without finding any treasures, Jiang Yun ventured deeper into the inner perimeter of the secret realm.

In the periphery of the secret realm, many cultivators at the mid and late stages of Foundation Establishment are seeking opportunities.

As for the central area of ​​the secret realm, only those at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and a few at the late stage of Foundation Establishment dare to set foot there.

Further in from the central area lies the core area of ​​the secret realm, which is the most dangerous place in the entire secret realm.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Great Perfection stage dare not easily set foot in this core area.

Most people who want to set foot there do so in groups to explore.

Jiang Yun searched alone within the secret realm.

As for the central and core areas of the secret realm, he decided to go there later and first take a look at the inner perimeter.

"Even if there are opportunities to form a core in the central and core areas, they are not easy to come by. Let's wait a bit longer."

"Besides, the Xuan Yang Secret Realm opens once and lasts for twenty years, so there's plenty of time."

Jiang Yun was not worried about others taking away her opportunity.

He knew that often, when a secret realm opened, the cultivators who rushed to the front were not necessarily able to obtain treasures.

Even if they obtain the treasure, they might be among the first to die.

After exploring the inner perimeter for three days.

Jiang Yun still hadn't found any treasures.

He was preparing to venture deeper into the area.

Suddenly, a scream came from nearby.

Jiang Yun scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that an unlucky Foundation Establishment cultivator had been killed by a wild bull.

Of course, this was no ordinary bison.

It was a second-tier, low-level demonic beast, the Black-Armored Bull.

Jiang Yun locked his divine sense onto the black-armored bull, and his figure transformed into a white light, quickly arriving near the bull.

The bull was seen devouring the corpse of the early Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Such a strong aura of malevolence! This black-armored bull is probably about to break through to the mid-stage of the second tier."

Jiang Yun frowned slightly and took out a flying sword.

"You beast, prepare to die!"

A white light flashed, and a flying sword pierced the head of the black-armored bull.

The black-armored bull was enjoying its meal when a flying sword descended from the sky, instantly knocking it to the ground and killing it.

"return."

Jiang Yun reached out and retrieved the flying sword, then walked over.

The black-armored bull was already dead, and the body of the early Foundation Establishment cultivator had long been devoured beyond recognition.

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to come to the periphery of the secret realm? He's truly courting death."

Jiang Yun remained expressionless, took the man's storage bag, and then flicked his finger to incinerate the corpse with Foundation Establishment True Fire.

To say that this person was killed by the Black Armored Bull was a bit of a stretch.

With the strength of someone in the early Foundation Establishment stage, they should just stay obediently on the outer perimeter of the secret realm, instead of coming to the inner perimeter to die.

Even if you don't get any treasures or opportunities from the outside world, as long as you cultivate diligently for twenty years, you will definitely be able to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage when you leave the secret realm.

After all, the spiritual energy in the secret realm is abundant, comparable to a third-tier spiritual vein.

The greatest opportunity is to enter the secret realm and cultivate diligently during the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

Shaking his head, Jiang Yun walked to the corpse of the black-armored bull, then used his flying sword to peel off its scales and remove its demon core.

When a high-level demon beast dies, its entire body is a treasure, and the most precious part is its demon core.

This demon core is of the second-tier, low-grade level.

"A second-tier low-grade demon core won't be of much help in improving my cultivation, but it can be used to refine my body."

"I have cultivated the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique, and every demon core I have is a top-quality body-refining medicine."

Jiang Yun took out the demon core and put it into his storage bag.

He then put the scales into his storage bag.

This black-armored bull is about to break through to the mid-second tier. Its scales are naturally a material for refining mid-grade second-tier magic weapons, so they are still somewhat useful.

After Jiang Yun put the two items into his own storage bag, he picked up the unlucky guy's storage bag.

After erasing the mark with powerful divine sense, the storage bag opened.

He then realized that the contents of the storage bag, in total, amounted to only five thousand spirit stones.

"So he's just a poor, rogue cultivator. No wonder he risked entering the inner perimeter."

Jiang Yun sighed softly and put away the storage bag.

After cleaning up any traces of the place, they quickly left this troublesome place.

Five days later.

Jiang Yun ventured deeper into the inner perimeter.

I accidentally wandered into a valley.

The valley was shrouded in mist, with visibility less than ten feet.

The range of divine sense detection was also suppressed by half.

Originally, with Jiang Yun's spiritual power, it could have extended to a distance of five miles.

In this area, it can only extend to two and a half miles.

Jiang Yun became highly vigilant and began to explore the valley.

They discovered that there were only some low-level monsters in the valley, none of them even reaching the second rank.

Jiang Yun easily scared away these monsters.

He then discovered that many medicinal herbs grew here, but they were all low-grade herbs, with no rare varieties.

But Jiang Yun was still pleasantly surprised.

"There are so many body-refining elixirs."

"By refining these precious medicines and adding that second-tier demon core, the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique will be enough to break through to the second level."

"The second level of the Golden Bone Refining Technique makes the physical strength equivalent to that of a mid-level second-tier demon beast."

The physical strength of demonic beasts is naturally stronger than that of human cultivators.

A second-tier intermediate-level demonic beast is equivalent to a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

His physical strength far surpasses that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Jiang Yun's current physical strength is roughly equivalent to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He was able to withstand the attack of a mid-grade second-tier flying sword with his physical body and a little bit of magic power.

If one breaks through to the second level of the Golden Bone Refining Technique, one can elevate one's physical body to a level close to that of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yun collected these body-refining medicines, then carved out a cave in a secluded spot in the valley to begin refining the medicines and second-tier demon cores.

Two years later.

Jiang Yun stepped out of the cave to stretch his muscles and bones, which cracked and popped.

"In two years, the Golden Bone Refining Technique broke through to the second level, and the strength of his physical body approached that of a second-grade high-quality magic weapon."

"If one can break through to the third level, the strength of one's physical body will be comparable to that of a second-grade high-quality magic weapon."

"If you break through to the fourth level, your physical strength will be comparable to that of a third-tier magic weapon."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun suddenly felt a surge of joy.

"How could I have forgotten about the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill?"

"The third-grade low-level pill, the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill, can temper the physical body. Isn't it an excellent body-refining medicine for cultivating the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique?"

""

"Perhaps cultivation and physical body can advance simultaneously, achieving a third-tier physical body and Golden Core stage cultivation!"
