Chapter 341: Chapter 189 Speculation about the Creation Method_2
Translator: 549690339
Any cultivator who discovered that the Creation Skill had ten layers would be utterly astounded, and do everything in their power to capture Lin Yi, to explore the secret of the tenth layer of the Creation Skill.
“You are my master, of course, I trust you.” Lin Yi said with a smile. His best choice for condensing the Golden Core in the future would be the Dan God Secret Realm.
Because breaking through from the Qi Refining Tenth Layer to Foundation Establishment causes an astonishing phenomenon. And if he were to break through from Foundation Building Tenth Layer to Golden Core, while refining it with Dan-fire, the resulting phenomenon would be unimaginable.
Even if he were to cultivate in the most remote mountains and forests, once the heavenly and earthly phenomena appeared, it would attract many Golden Core Cultivators to investigate, regardless of the risks.
“Oh, can you tell your master the actual cultivation level when you first entered the secret realm?” Zhang Dao Xuan asked with a smile on his face.
With a serious expression and a righteous tone, Lin Yi said, “Master, it seems that while I trust you, you do not trust me. My cultivation level at that time was at the Qi Refining Eighth Stage, no matter how many times you ask, my answer will be the same.”
Zhang Dao Xuan pointed at Lin Yi, barely holding back his laughter, “You’ve turned the tables, huh? Come, give me your hand and let me examine your golden-colored Dantian.”
Lin Yi coughed softly, looking somewhat embarrassed, “Ahem, Master, the Creation Skill seems to be able to hide its effects. So, what you will detect will just be a regular Dantian. You won’t be able to see my golden Dantian, and I can’t control that.”
According to his previous tests, he knew that the golden Dantian formed by the Creation Skill was not something hidden by the Path of Survivor title. This is because when the secret realm was activated this time, he transformed into his Overlord Form and removed the Path of Survivor title in favor of a reveal card title.
His cultivation was no longer concealed, but rather, it increased the outward manifestation of his cultivation. However, the magical and spiritual power he subsequently released didn’t involve anyone noticing the presence of his golden spiritual power. Thus, he was certain that this was likely the intrinsic concealment of the Creation Skill itself.
He felt that the person or entity that created the Creation Skill was incredibly meticulous and careful. What a cultivator gains from the practice is automatically hidden, preventing others from detecting it. This seemed designed to prevent those who practiced the Creation Skill from perishing prematurely.
After confirming this, he made a bold guess. Perhaps the Creation Skill was created by an ancient sect for the training and selection of disciples. It’s likely that the sect exists in the Immortal Realm.
Zhang Dao Xuan’s face showed a hint of surprise. He placed his hand on Lin Yi’s wrist, separated some of his primordial spirit force, and investigated. Sure enough, all he saw was a normal Dantian, with no peculiar anomalies.
He did not believe Lin Yi would lie to him. No one would choose to practice a seemingly promising technique like the Creation Skill while ignoring the Yi Wood Longevity Technique from Dan God.
What was even stranger was that the amount of Spiritual Liquid in Lin Yi’s Dantian matched his current cultivation level – the Foundation Establishing Third Level.
Even if the technique of concealment was refined to its utmost, it could only obscure one’s aura from others. It was impossible to hide from others when their Primordial Spirit enters the body and directly investigates the Dantian.
He shook his head and sighed, “It appears to be true. The Creation Skill is indeed extraordinary, it can completely conceal one’s gains. Perhaps if one practices it to the end, it could bring about earth-shattering changes.”
The remarkable features of the Creation Skill made him think about the grand scheme of some Immortal Realm Sects. Creation not only refers to one’s personal cultivation but also has other connotations.
Afterwards, Zhang Dao Xuan looked at Lin Yi and asked seriously, “Lin Yi, can you tell your master your current true cultivation level? Don’t tell me it’s still only at the Foundation Establishment Third Level.”
Lin Yi responded mysteriously, “Master, I can’t reveal that right now. However, when I condense my Golden Core, I will certainly tell you, because this secret realm is the safest place.”
Zhang Dao Xuan was stunned, then couldn’t help but smack Lin Yi on the head, “Well done, you’ve managed to almost reach the Golden Core stage without anyone noticing.”
“In that case, you must be at least at the later stages of Foundation Building. I have to say, you’ve hidden it exceptionally well. It seems that when you first entered the Secret Realm, you were certainly not just at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.”
He thought that Lin Yi had recently entered the Foundation Building Fifth-Sixth Level, because this kid spent so much time practicing alchemy. To his surprise, Lin Yi was almost ready to condense his Golden Core.
Only upon reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment will one begin to consider the task of forming the Golden Core.
“Ahem, Master, I assure you, I was really at the Qi Refining Eighth Stage back then. You don’t trust me.” Lin Yi said, clutching his head, a look of injustice on his face.
Zhang Dao Xuan laughed, “If you were at the Qi Refining Eighth Stage, I’d write my name backwards.”
Then he waved his hand, “Well then, regardless of your previous or current cultivation levels, it can’t change the fact that you are my disciple. If you don’t want to study the Yi Wood Longevity Technique, tell me what else you would like to learn. Other alchemy techniques can only be learned after you’ve achieved the Golden Core.”
“Master, you’re the teacher. Whatever you teach, I will learn. I hope you can guide me more in the future.” Lin Yi could not help but bow his hand in salute; the time he would be able to achieve the Golden Core would depend on how much instruction he received from this master.
The longer the instruction, the more knowledge he could glean from the original Pill Immortal Master.
Zhang Dao Xuan nodded, “Good. You learned about Spirit Grass before, now follow me to learn pharmacology, which would originally be a matter for after you practiced the Yi Wood Longevity Technique.”
“With the Wood Element Spiritual Power, you can have a clearer understanding of the medicinal properties of various Spirit Grasses. Now since you’ve decided to practice the Creation Skill, you need to study pharmacology even harder. In future classes, let’s add a bit more.”
“Master, I could not ask for more, thank you.” Lin Yi quickly expressed his gratitude.
Zhang Dao Xuan pointed towards the cultivation cave mansion and said, “The privileges of this cultivation cave mansion will also be open to you from now on, where you can come and practice your cultivation techniques at any time.”
Lin Yi expressed his thanks once again. His improvement in cultivation level didn’t just depend on individual progress; sometimes he also practiced on his own to get a better understanding of the Creation Skill.
Previously, the Pill Immortal Master had told him about the opening time of the Secret Realm in the Xuan Tian Realm, which is about seven years from now. The time span since the last opening in the Xuan Tian Realm is roughly thirty-nine years.
This time, the Dan God Secret Realm will still only open the Medicine Garden. Over the past millennium, the Dan God’s Cave Mansion has only been opened once or twice in the Heng Yuan Cultivation World, and only once in the Xuan Tian Realm.
On this single occasion, a cultivator of Qi refinement in the Xuan Tian Realm was able to obtain the Dan God’s inheritance. Unfortunately, he was of ill-intent, and was expelled from the lineage of inheritance. Otherwise, Lin Yi might not have had a chance.
Because the Pill Immortal Master will only personally instruct one disciple, he won’t accept a second one unless there’s an unexpected happening or the disciple ascends.
For this opening in the Xuan Tian Realm, Lin Yi will also make preparations, planning in detail, clarifying the information about the Xuan Tian Realm. When the Dao of Alchemy is successful, he could be transported to the Xuan Tian Realm at any time to sell some pills or acquire some resources.
And for this Dao of Alchemy achievement, Lin Yi guesses it requires at least reaching the level of Spirit Level Alchemist, that is, achieving the Golden Core.
Lin Yi also agreed with his master’s approach. After achieving the Golden Core, his safety could be maximally guaranteed, especially since he is currently in the Foundation Establishment Stage. In a state of frenzy, he is not affected by the restrictions of the Golden Core Realm, but lacks a means of preservation when confronted by a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
At his request, the Pill Immortal Master has increased the monthly instruction time to twelve hours. Following one hour equals nine points of cultivation, this means he could gain more than five hundred cultivation points in a year. This cultivation speed was faster than a rocket.
Increasing cultivation is not difficult for him. Breaking through each level in a Great Realm is the same. What’s more challenging is the later evolution to the Foundation Establishment Tenth Layer and finally, forming the Golden Core.
According to the current instruction time, he would be able to attain Great Perfection at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer within five years.
Initially, when he reached the perfection of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer and evolved to the Qi Refining Tenth Layer, it took him almost a year. The Foundation Establishment Tenth Layer is even harder, but he was confident that within five years, he could evolve to the Foundation Establishment Tenth Layer, and in two or three years, reach full Great Perfection, and then condense the Golden Core.
If you calculate the time, it would be almost twenty years or so. If things go smoother than expected, he could shorten the time.
