After the siege on the Qingcheng Sect was lifted, no one dared to challenge them again for a long time. As a result, Su Rui was able to spend two months of peaceful cultivation in his cave abode on Mount Qingcheng.
During this time, he found a suitable opportunity to take Chi Jiao to the vicinity of the Bamboo Mountain Sect. They found the place where the sect leader had hidden his treasures and unceremoniously took away all the small treasures. This wave filled the space bags and space rings that he and Chi Jiao carried to the brim. At that moment, he truly felt the satisfaction that wealth brought.
With abundant resources in hand, Su Rui immediately began practicing the "Nine-Cut Golden Elixir Method." He concentrated his energy and spirit into the vortex of his Dantian Qi Sea, devoting all his energy to condensing the Golden Elixir. After considerable effort, he finally succeeded in condensing his first Golden Elixir. However, to his disappointment, the elixir only bore six halos, a mere middling quality. Among the many gifted True Disciple disciples, this achievement was hardly exceptional.
The chances of a mid-grade Golden Elixir producing a Nascent Soul were roughly 50-50, often depending on luck, giving people a sense of being at the mercy of fate. Because of this, Zhang Beiyang, who had also successfully produced a mid-grade Golden Elixir, remained stagnant, unable to break through the bottleneck for a long time.
Low-grade golden elixirs are those that only display three or fewer halos, and their chances of success are only a mere 10%, practically negligible. Most independent cultivators without a strong background are stuck at the golden elixir stage, unable to advance further, because the golden elixirs they form are low-grade.
However, the probability of a top-grade golden elixir giving birth to a Nascent Soul is as high as 80%. If one is lucky enough to condense nine elixir halos and achieve a top-grade golden elixir, then it must be a top-grade golden elixir without a doubt, and it is 100% capable of giving birth to a Nascent Soul with extremely high growth potential!
Su Rui stared intently at the golden elixir within his dantian, gleaming like the brightest star in the night sky, surrounded by six beautiful halos. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret: his talent truly wasn't enough! Although this elixir had been condensed without any adequate preparation, like the result achieved by a student taking a final exam without any review, it was sufficient proof that he had no destiny whatsoever for the term "genius" praised by the world.
Without the miraculous "Nine-Slash Golden Elixir Secret Method" to help him, he would probably have to leave his future to chance, right? However, since heaven had blessed him with such a method, he naturally had to seize the opportunity!
After briefly admiring the golden elixir within him, Su Rui gritted his teeth and, without hesitation, stepped into the small formation before him, already prepared with various rare materials, waiting only for him to activate it. He crossed his legs and sat firmly in the center of the formation. Then, he carefully injected a trace of pure mana into the small formation. Instantly, the formation seemed to activate, rapidly operating, forming an extremely small, enclosed space within.
That's right, once the golden elixir is successfully condensed, the inner Qi will be transformed into mana. From then on, both the casting speed and the power of the magic sword energy will be improved according to the quality of the golden elixir.
"Okay, then let's start the first slash!"
Sitting upright in the confined space formed by the small formation, Su Rui took a moment to adjust his breathing before gritting his teeth and making up his mind. Following this, he followed the key to the "Nine Golden Pill Slashing Technique," concentrating his thoughts into an incredibly sharp blade and slashing with all his might at the mid-grade golden elixir within his dantian, which was shimmering with six halos.
clang……
In an instant, Su Rui felt as if his head had suffered a heavy blow, like a bronze bell hit by a crossbar. The pain was unbearable and his head was splitting.
However, his attention remained fixed on the golden elixir in his dantian. Only when he witnessed a crack appear on the surface of the golden elixir did he breathe a sigh of relief. After all, if the blade of his mind couldn't split the golden elixir, then the "Nine Golden Elixir Slashing Technique" would be difficult to use.
…
Three days later, Su Rui's eyes sparkled with anticipation and excitement as he quietly gazed at the mysteriously radiant golden elixir within his body. At that moment, seven dazzling halos suddenly appeared above the golden elixir! This meant that after long periods of hard work and perseverance, he had finally achieved a breakthrough, elevating his golden elixir to a whole new level.
During this time, Su Rui endured countless hardships and dangers, even risking his own golden elixir three times in a row. Despite paying a heavy price, he only obtained a mid-grade golden elixir with six halos on his first two attempts. However, through his unwavering perseverance and unyielding spirit, he finally achieved the coveted high-grade golden elixir with seven halos on his third attempt! While this wasn't the ultimate realm he ultimately sought, possessing such a golden elixir would allow him to walk out of the cave with his head held high, without bringing disgrace upon the disciples of the Qingcheng sect.
As Su Rui emerged from the cave, he happened to encounter Zhang Beiyang, speeding towards him in mid-air, ablaze with swords. He was secretly delighted, having just sought out Zhang Beiyang to inquire about the latest progress and subsequent procedures of the Centennial Sword Fight, when he unexpectedly found himself approached. Seeing Su Rui's appearance, Zhang Beiyang immediately suppressed his flight light and landed beside him. Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Su Rui, he exclaimed in surprise, then asked in disbelief, "You've already condensed the Golden Core?"
