Li Yuanba swallowed the Advanced Breaking Yue Pill in his mouth. It might be because he had been taking top-level elixirs all along, which made his body almost free of drug resistance, allowing the effect of the Advanced Breaking Yue Pill to reach its extreme.
The energy transformed from the advanced Breaking Moon Pill seemed to be a fuse, igniting the vortex of spiritual power.
The spiritual power vortex became more violent, and all the spiritual power in his body was drawn into it. Once the spiritual power vortex got out of control, perhaps that would be the time when his body would be broken.
But he had no worries. This was much safer than his previous breakthrough in the corpse refining body.
The breakthrough of the corpse-refining body was completely out of his control, everything was the corpse-refining body's instinctive reaction.
At least as a human being he can still use elixirs as an aid, and he can discover any problems in advance.
The violent vortex of spiritual power continuously squeezes the spiritual power inwards, and a qualitative change is taking place at the very center of the squeezed vortex of spiritual power.
When a tiny solid sphere appeared, all the spiritual power seemed to have found its direction and poured into the tiny solid sphere.
At first, only spiritual power flowed into the solid sphere. Later, Li Yuanba felt that his spirit, vitality, and all the essence of his body were absorbed by the solid sphere.
The original body, Li Shiming, had watched the process of the senior sister making the elixir, so he was not surprised by the occurrence of this situation.
His mind moved slightly, and several spiritual objects were taken out and injected into his body.
These spiritual objects are all used to temporarily replenish spirit and vitality. They are collected by the original body Li Shiming. These spiritual objects are not as precious as the four auxiliary spiritual objects for making pills. It is very easy for Li Shiming to collect them with his identity.
Several spiritual objects were injected into his body, replenishing his vitality and spirit.
The spiritual objects he used were the best that could be found in the Northern Shu Continent, so the replenishment effect was also the best.
In addition, his soul has reached the first level of the Golden Core to some extent, which is related to the fact that his corpse-refining body had previously broken through the Silver Corpse Realm and endured the baptism of heavenly thunder.
So even though his spirit was continuously absorbed by the solid sphere, the impact on his spirit was not as serious as that of the senior sister, and was still within an acceptable range.
Although the strong body was replenished with vitality from the spiritual object, it was also quickly becoming thin, its muscles contracted, and its skin dried up.
However, his eyes became brighter and brighter. He felt that the properties of the solid sphere were changing, from the simple solid spiritual power at the beginning to the golden elixir emitting golden light.
It is precisely because it has been integrated into his vitality and spirit that this golden elixir has an extremely close connection with him.
Li Yuanba's foundation was extremely strong. The 'Secret Book of the Sword Demon' he practiced had long surpassed the standard of physical training required during the foundation-building period, not to mention that because of his practice of 'Purple Air Coming from the East', he obtained the Tai Chi Taoist body.
His breakthrough was easier than that of the senior sister, at least he didn't feel his life was in danger.
When he felt that his vitality was approaching the warning line, the golden elixir stopped absorbing vitality, spirit, and spiritual power, and began to feed back to the body.
Li Yuanba now looked extremely miserable. His once extraordinary appearance had long since turned into as thin as a skeleton due to the loss of skin and internal vitality.
However, when the golden elixir began to feed back into his body, his skin and everything inside his body began to fill up, and his peerless appearance returned.
He understood the importance of this period of time, so he took the Advanced Resurrection Pill. Although he could cope without the Advanced Resurrection Pill at this time, he needed to recover as quickly as possible.
It didn't take him long to recover before he felt the power of heaven and earth again.
A golden lightning fell from the void and hit his body.
The golden lightning carries the power to destroy everything, but the actual destructive power is not as great as imagined.
His body had indeed suffered considerable damage, but compared with the damage suffered by the corpse-refining body, it was simply like the rules of heaven and earth were cheating on him.
He didn't know what this had to do with him, whether it was because he practiced the 'Secret Book of the Sword Demon' or because of the Tai Chi body. Anyway, the moment he felt the golden lightning approaching, he knew that he was safe this time.
He let the golden lightning wreak havoc in his body. This kind of destruction could also be considered a kind of strengthening. As long as he could withstand the destruction of the golden lightning, he would then gain the benefits it brought.
In fact, the reason why the golden lightning did not cause too much damage to him was related to his extremely yang body.
Heavenly thunder is the most yang thing in the world, so when it comes to the body of a corpse, its destructive power is almost doubled. But when it comes to the most yang human body, its power is naturally reduced a lot.
The golden lightning caused a certain degree of damage to every part of Li Yuanba's body, especially his small golden elixir, which was surrounded by golden lightning.
The golden lightning continued to cause damage to the golden elixir, which triggered the golden elixir's resistance.
If it were an ordinary cultivator's golden elixir, at this time it would shrink itself with all its strength, and would just have to last until the power of the golden lightning lasts.
However, the sword intent condensed from practicing the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' technique, especially Li Yuanba's extremely yang sword intent, did not require Li Yuanba to control it when facing such a provocation from the heavenly thunder, and it launched a counterattack against the golden lightning on its own.
The sword intent contained in the golden elixir turned into golden sword light and actively struck towards the golden lightning.
The golden sword light and the golden lightning entangled together, and for a moment they actually blocked the golden lightning's damage to the golden elixir's body.
As the time limit of the heavenly thunder was reached, the power of the golden lightning weakened and was absorbed by the golden sword intent, which then retracted into the golden elixir.
"Hahahaha!" Li Yuanba laughed loudly. Although he had damage caused by the thunder, he felt extremely good.
His soul was elevated once again. He didn't know whether there were any cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who could receive the baptism of heavenly thunder twice, but he did it.
This allowed his soul to surpass other early Jindan cultivators at the starting point of the Jindan period, which was extremely important for his future practice, the growth of his spiritual consciousness, and so on.
Inside his body, a small golden elixir was closely connected to his body, becoming the source of energy for his body.
The spiritual power that he can control now is all extracted from this small golden elixir. Every strand of spiritual power is like real solid spiritual power, and the spiritual power also naturally contains sword intent.
The most special thing was that for some reason, his golden elixir changed its shape at the last moment and turned into a sword shape.
There is no corresponding record of sword-shaped golden elixir even in the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art". If he hadn't felt that the golden elixir was normal, he would have suspected that there was something wrong with his cultivation.
"This is the Golden Core Stage!" Li Yuanba said to himself happily as he felt the changes inside and outside his body.
In terms of soul, his soul was strengthened by more than three times, which made his mental strength much stronger than that of the original body Li Shiming. You must know that the weakest improvement when breaking through the Jindan stage is the improvement in the soul.
For most cultivators who break through to the Golden Core stage, the enhancement of their souls is only to the extent that they are able to possess divine thoughts.
He had already achieved the ability to possess divine consciousness when he was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage. To a certain extent, his soul strength had reached the level of a Golden Core cultivator during the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The soul and spirit are closely related. The stronger the soul, the stronger the spirit.
His mental strength at this moment might not even be comparable to that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. As for a late-stage Jindan cultivator, he was unable to detect Elder Jian's mental strength before, so he did not know how deep it was.
In terms of spiritual power, each spiritual power drawn from the golden elixir is ten times more condensed than the spiritual power of the foundation-building period.
No wonder he felt that any attack from the Jindan cultivator was unbearable when he faced him before. This level of spiritual power was simply not something a foundation-building cultivator could withstand.
Only after he truly reached the Jindan stage did he realize how dangerous it was to fight against the independent cultivator Jindan Niu Ziru.
Any spiritual power from the Jindan stage would be fatal if it hit his body.
Of course, the reason why he dared to face the independent cultivator Jindan Niu Ziru was because he was absolutely sure that he would not be hit by Niu Ziru.
In terms of his Taoist body, as early as the middle stage of foundation building, his body-refining technique had been cultivated to the limit of the foundation building period, that is, the effect of "Purple Air Coming from the East", which allowed his Taoist body to surpass the foundation building period, but also reached a certain bottleneck.
At this moment, he felt that the bottleneck before his Taoist body had disappeared, and there was great potential in his body refining.
Unfortunately, the "Sword Demon Secret Book" does not contain any training content for the Jindan period. If he wants to practice body-refining techniques, he needs to find a suitable body-refining technique again.
Outside Wanjian Peak, a large number of cultivators gathered again.
The two consecutive thunders aroused the curiosity of these cultivators to the extreme, but no matter how they sent out voice transmission spells, they could not get any response.
The eyes of several Jindan cultivators who were interested in Wanjian Peak flickered, as if they were worried about some accidents.
"Wait until Elder Jian and Li Yuanba come out, and then we'll know what happened!" Elder Yue said in a deep voice.
Although he suspected that Elder Jian had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage through seclusion, he could not be 100% sure. In addition, the strange phenomena at Wanjian Peak were far from what Li Yuanba should have caused, so Elder Yue said so.
It was precisely because of such concerns that the Jindan cultivators with ulterior motives only expressed doubts verbally, but no Jindan cultivator dared to propose the idea of breaking the formation.
These monks discussed here for a long time before slowly dispersing.
Of course, although it seems that everyone has left, many cultivators are actually paying special attention to Wanjian Peak even after returning to their own caves.
As long as the formation of Wanjian Peak is activated, they will come over immediately to check the situation.
Elder Yue also left. Although no one knew what happened at Wanjian Peak, it seemed that it would not be opened in the short term.
Li Yuanba would certainly not leave Wanjian Peak. After he became a Jindan cultivator, if Elder Jian was still alive, he might go to the sect with Elder Jian to go through the procedures for updating his identity jade disc.
You should know that the welfare and power of a Jindan-stage cultivator in a sect are very different from those of a Foundation-building-stage cultivator.
When it comes down to it, the main fighting force of the big sects is still the Jindan cultivators, and the foundation-building cultivators are mostly reduced to cannon fodder.
After reaching the Jindan stage, the sect will invest more in the Jindan cultivators. Various third-grade resources, various corresponding permissions, and skills will be opened up, all of which are only for Jindan cultivators.
Li Yuanba didn't mind obtaining these third-grade resources later.
Although he was already a Jindan cultivator, he did not have the strength that a Jindan cultivator should have, which was extremely disadvantageous.
The most important thing for him now is to immediately improve his combat power.
There are several ways to improve combat power. The main training method is ready-made. You can start practicing the Jindan chapter of "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky" and some Jindan's attack secrets.
The other most important thing is the magic weapon. The magic weapon for sword cultivators is naturally the flying sword.
In terms of magic weapons, Li Yuanba and his original body Li Shiming had already considered it. With Li Shiming's weapon-refining skills, after waiting for a while, when Li Shiming succeeds in making the elixir, he can refine a flying sword magic weapon that best suits Li Yuanba.
This was Li Shiming's original plan, but plans cannot keep up with changes. Who would have thought that the clone Li Yuanba would surpass the original body and become a Jindan cultivator before him.
It was obvious that Li Shiming's cultivation was stronger, having reached the peak of the foundation building stage ahead of time, and he had prepared a large number of elixirs to assist in the formation of the elixir, some of which were even top-level elixirs.
According to his idea, the original body must become a Jindan cultivator first, and then it will be the turn of the clone Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba's Tai Chi Taoist body broke the original plan.
However, he still made a backup plan, which was the natal flying sword of the sword cultivator Jindan Yun Xingyi.
Yun Xingyi was the second most powerful Jindan swordsman in the Northern Shu Continent after Elder Jian. If he had not been exploring a safe route in the North Sea and accidentally entered the formation of the Seven Star Island, where he was severely damaged by the concentrated might of the seven Jindan swordsmen, Yun Xingyi would not have been defeated so easily with his combat power.
The natal flying sword used by such a sword cultivator's golden elixir is naturally the top-level one.
Li Shiming also confirmed this after he learned how to refine weapons.
At least, without any top-level third-grade refining metal, it would be difficult for Li Shiming to refine a flying sword of the same quality as Yun Xing's life flying sword.
In addition, Yun Xingyi's natal flying sword has been strengthened by his use of sword intent for many years, which makes his natal flying sword far superior to other flying sword magic weapons.
Of course, the most important thing is that Yun Xingyi was planning to use Li Shiming as a body to possess, and even gave Li Shiming the authority of his own flying sword for this purpose.
As Li Shiming's clone, Li Yuanba also shared the authority of his natal flying sword.
This ensures that after Li Yuanba refines his natal flying sword, the sword will not lose its power due to a change of owner.
Who asked the natal flying sword to recognize him? After Yun Xingyi's death, he and Li Shiming became the masters of this natal flying sword.
He took out his natal flying sword, looked at the small natal flying sword, hesitated for a moment, then immediately made up his mind, with a determination flashing in his eyes.
This choice is extremely important for his future practice. The choice made by a sword cultivator in the Jindan stage is related to the choice of his whole life. The cost of changing his natal magic weapon is too high, and generally no cultivator will choose to change his natal magic weapon.
He chose Yun Xingyi's natal flying sword, so this natal flying sword will accompany him for the rest of his life, and will not change even in the Nascent Soul stage.
