Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 211: Golden Core Formation Methods of the Senior Disciples

Lu Yang naturally skipped the page on Yun Zhi and checked how his other senior brothers and sisters formed their golden cores.

From Lu Yang’s understanding of Yun Zhi, there was no way to replicate her method of forming a golden core. He had heard that Yun Zhi had pushed every cultivation stage to its extreme. When she shattered her golden core to form her nascent soul, it was a terrifying sight as she elicited bolts of heavenly lightning as punishment. It was known that one would typically attract a lightning tribulation when breaking through to the Divine Transfiguration Stage. Facing a lightning tribulation at the Nascent Soul Stage was unprecedented.

A senior male disciple attempted to imitate Yun Zhi’s method, intending to form a nascent soul capable of calling forth a heavenly tribulation. After pouring in countless efforts and repeatedly suppressing his power at the Golden Core Stage to solidify his foundation, he finally fulfilled his wish. As his golden core shattered to form a nascent soul, it called down heavenly lightning.

Right then, something surprising happened. That senior male disciple’s nascent soul took the initiative to withstand the might of the heavenly lightning and vanquished it; even Yun Zhi’s nascent soul could not accomplish that. It was equivalent to gaining a powerful clone, boosting his combat power immensely.

Just as everyone thought that history was about to be made again, that senior male disciple’s nascent soul suddenly attacked him, beating him into a pulp. Despite his utmost resistance, he was still defeated.

Although that senior male disciple was already at the Nascent Soul Stage, he could not defeat his own nascent soul—in some sense, he had indeed made history.

The Taciturn Daoist Priest tried to help that senior male disciple control his nascent soul. After numerous failed attempts, he could only smash the nascent soul to pieces, forcing the senior male disciple to find other methods to form his nascent soul without blazing a new trail and bringing misery upon himself.

Since this matter was too embarrassing, only those within the Dao-Seeking Sect knew about it. As for the senior male disciple’s name, almost no one knew.

However, Lu Yang had heard some gossip from Meng Jingzhou that this embarrassing senior male disciple was actually the second disciple of the Taciturn Daoist Priest—in other words, his second senior brother.

Lu Yang still didn’t have the chance to meet him because he was currently training in the Golden Buddhist Kingdom in the west. Sometimes, when Lu Yang prayed for his second senior brother’s successful training, Lu Yang would light an incense for him. To avoid showing favoritism, Lu Yang would also offer an incense stick for his third senior sister.

“Let me take a look at Senior Brother Dai Bufan’s Golden Core.

“Desirable Water Golden Core: first-grade golden core.

“It has a clear and fresh fragrance and is spiritual but not cold, its golden hue tinged with blue. Sitting in the dantian, it automatically cultivates, turning one’s spirit energy into waves and spreading it throughout the body to ensure that the level of spirit energy is always at its peak.

“Cultivation Method: Drink water every day until you get poisoned. Then, immerse yourself in a lake for ten days without emerging from the water. Imagine yourself as a fish swimming freely in the lake, your form as you desire. Finally, use your dantian as a storage ring, merging the space with the entire lake of water in your abdomen. Upon integrating it with your spirit energy, it will be compressed into a golden core.

“Precaution One: Do not go too deep in your imagination as a fish, lest you may be tempted by fish bait and bite the book.

“Precaution Two: When absorbing the entire lake of water into your abdomen, please report it in advance to avoid suffering the fate of imprisonment like I did.

“Precaution Three: Water poisoning is a normal phenomenon. Please prepare the relevant medicinal pills before drinking water.”

When Lu Yang saw the three precautionary notes, he found it hard to imagine what Dai Bufan had experienced.

“Eh, it’s a water-type golden core.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s voice suddenly sounded.

Lu Yang was surprised. “Immortal Fairy, you’re not asleep yet?”

“I’ll sleep once I’m done having fun.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy waved her hand. “Speaking of water-type golden cores, I remember I had once met two opponents with water-type golden cores, both first-grade. Hardly anyone at the Golden Core Stage was their match, and if they joined hands, they would be invincible.

“One of them had a Three Rivers Five Lakes Golden Core, able to summon the power of the rivers and the lakes and draw forth their water. The other person had a Boundless Sea Golden Core, able to summon the power of the seas and draw forth their water.”

“Which of these two golden cores is stronger? Is it the Boundless Sea Golden Core?” Lu Yang asked curiously. After all, how could the power of the rivers and lakes compare to that of the sea?

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy shook her head. “The power of the rivers and lakes indeed pales in comparison to the sea, but at the Golden Core Stage, you can’t summon all of it at once. Since there’s a limit, the maximum power of these two golden cores is almost identical.”

Lu Yang was now even more intrigued. These two were first-grade water-type golden cores, and their functions and power seemed to have negligible differences.

“Then what exactly is the difference between the two?”

“Naturally, one releases freshwater, while the other releases saltwater,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy stated in a matter-of-fact tone and with an expression that said, “Lu Yang, you’re so dumb.”

Lu Yang, “...”

You bunch of cultivators had nothing to do in ancient times, huh? You even distinguished between freshwater and saltwater golden cores.

“These two might have been rather strong, but in front of my Water-Repelling Mantra, they were no match for me,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy tried to say as nonchalantly as she could, exuding the confidence of someone who could exterminate their enemies with a smile. However, judging by how she couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from curling upward, Lu Yang could tell how pleased she was with herself.

Lu Yang exclaimed inwardly, As expected of the Immortal Fairy. Although she’s often not serious and unreliable, now that I think about it carefully, the ancient era was full of prodigies and talents, just like the countless stars that twinkle in the sky and the dense trees that dot the forest. It was the most prosperous cultivation period.

Moreover, competition then was fierce and ruthless. Despite such an environment, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy could still emerge as one of the five ancient immortals. The journey must have been smooth sailing while she defeated numerous seemingly indomitable enemies. How could someone like that be poor in combat?

There were nine grades to golden cores, with the first grade being the strongest and the ninth grade the weakest. First-grade golden cores were extremely rare, like finding gold in sand. Even in the Dao-Seeking Sect where every disciple was considered a prodigy in the outside world, they could only guarantee that all disciples’ golden cores would minimally be at the third grade; first-grade golden cores belonged to a select few. This was a testament to the strength of a first-grade golden core.

I can only imagine how undefeatable the alliance of two opponents with first-grade golden cores must have been. Despite that, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy still crushed them in one move. Such a battle achievement is certainly terrifying.

“By the way, Immortal Fairy, what cultivation were you at then?”

“Nascent Soul Stage.”

“...I knew it.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing.”

As Lu Yang continued to read, he moved on to the next section about Ji Hongwen.

“Four Seasons Green Bamboo Golden Core: first-grade golden core.

“The pill marks encompass a bamboo forest. The four seasons change, but the green bamboo never changes. It is cyan and green, serene and elegant, tenacious and unyielding, and gentle like a noble person.

“Cultivation Method: As the bamboo’s life begins, it sprouts a shoot of one inch, leaves growing at each segment. Therefore, when one draws bamboo, one must first form a bamboo in their heart and hold the brush with a careful gaze. Then, they should have bamboo for meals and have bamboo as water, approaching nature and comprehending nature. Wherever one’s sight lands, it will be full of lush greenery. Only then can one form a golden core.

“Precaution One: Those with poor painting skills should refrain from forming this golden core.

“Precaution Two: Be wary of attacks from Iron-Eating Beasts[1] while meditating in the bamboo forest; they will think that you are stealing their food.

“Precaution Three: This golden core formation method only applies to green bamboo. Do not attempt to extend this to other plants such as cacti and the night-blooming cereus.”

It was clear that Dai Bufan and Ji Hongwen had gone through some unexpected experiences when forming their golden cores.

1. As mentioned in an earlier chapter, “Iron-Eating Beasts” are actually pandas. ☜
