Seeing that he had finally split the rock open with his Flying Cloud Sword, Liu Xiaoyuan was overjoyed. He immediately put away the Flying Cloud Sword and flew inside.
Upon entering the small cave, Liu Xiaoyuan was greeted by a blinding expanse of white, with spirit stones gleaming with a dazzling white light that was so intense it made it difficult to open one's eyes.
Seeing these spirit stones with his own eyes, Liu Xiaoyuan's joy was indescribable; it was just too damn awesome.
Spirit stones, my favorite! Liu Xiaoyuan is penniless right now, he doesn't have many spirit stones at all, and they were all stolen from others.
Now that he has a mountain of spirit stones, Liu Xiaoyuan can confidently say that he will not lack spirit stones.
So Liu Xiaoyuan took out the storage bag and used his supernatural powers to fill it to the brim.
Since these storage bags are used by Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, their capacity is not very large, and they cannot hold much at all.
If one reaches the Golden Core realm, the storage bag's space will greatly expand, enough to hold even this entire mountain, not to mention the spirit stones within it.
After filling the storage bag, Liu Xiaoyuan waited for the arrival of Su Xue and her sister. While waiting, Liu Xiaoyuan held a spirit stone in his hand and examined it carefully.
These spiritual stones are so beautiful, just like crystal, so beautiful that you can't bear to part with them.
Not long after, Su Xue and her sister arrived and flew directly into the cave.
"So fast?" Liu Xiaoyuan was a little surprised by the speed of the two sisters.
Su Yu said, "Of course it's faster with spirit stones. Besides, there are hardly any cars on the road at night. We sped all the way here."
"Brother-in-law, you really didn't lie to me! So many spirit stones! Ah, brother-in-law, I love you to death!" Upon seeing so many spirit stones, Su Yu excitedly kissed Liu Xiaoyuan on the cheek.
At this moment, even Su Xue, who was usually serious, showed a hint of surprise on her face, because she had never seen so many spirit stones before. There were indeed quite a lot of spirit stones.
"Don't just stand there like an idiot, hurry up and put the spirit stones into your storage bags," Liu Xiaoyuan said to the Su sisters.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the two sisters took out their respective storage bags to store spirit stones.
But both of their storage bags are full, and there are still many spirit stones left. What should they do if they can't fit all the spirit stones?
Just then, Su Xue said, "Leave all these spirit stones to me."
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Su Xue and asked, "What do you plan to do? You're not going to damage all these spirit stones, are you? That would be such a waste, we absolutely can't do that."
This behavior is the same as throwing away your own rotten food rather than letting others eat it.
Su Xue glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, then at the remaining spirit stones, and said, "These remaining spirit stones are enough for me to advance to the Golden Core realm. I have a vague feeling that I'm about to break through!"
Hearing Su Xue's words proved that Su Xue was at the late Foundation Establishment stage. No wonder she dealt with those experts at the third level of the Innate Realm as easily as dealing with novices.
"You want to break through the Foundation Establishment stage and reach the Golden Core realm?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked incredulously.
Although the Foundation Establishment stage and the Golden Core stage are only separated by one realm, it is indeed a watershed. In the eyes of cultivators, only those who have stepped into the Golden Core stage can be considered true cultivators. Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment are only considered to be just beginning, merely touching the threshold of cultivation.
This is why everyone talks about the Golden Elixir Path!
Once a cultivator reaches the Golden Core stage, a Golden Core will be generated in their dantian. This Golden Core is the most important thing for a cultivator, and it is precisely because a cultivator has this Golden Core that their power and supernatural abilities far surpass those of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Moreover, the Golden Core of a cultivator at the Golden Core realm has another function: when encountering a powerful enemy, the Golden Core can be self-destructed to scare them away.
They believed that the power of the Golden Core self-destruction would be twice as strong as its own, which was extremely terrifying.
Therefore, powerful enemies are often scared away. There's no way around it; if a Golden Core cultivator self-destructs, even if he doesn't perish with them, he'll probably be seriously injured, and then he might become prey in someone else's eyes.
Su Xue nodded and said, "With the remaining spirit stones as an aid, I think I will soon form my Golden Core and embark on the Golden Core Path!"
When Su Xue said these words, she was full of domineering power. Just then, a breeze blew into the cave, making Su Xue's hair flutter. At this moment, Su Xue looked like a queen who was high and mighty, looking down on everything.
Su Xue is a fox spirit, so her golden core is also known as a demon core. If a cultivator can obtain Su Xue's demon core and consume it, their cultivation level will immediately increase rapidly, like riding a rocket.
Demon cores are a great tonic for cultivators, especially those from demons with higher cultivation levels.
"Congratulations, sister!" Su Yu sincerely congratulated her sister upon learning that she was about to achieve the Golden Core stage.
Su Xue looked at her younger sister and said, "Su Yu, if you hadn't been so playful back then, you would be at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage by now."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu immediately lowered her head. She was currently only at the late stage of Qi Refining, two minor realms away from the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
Indeed, as Su Xue said, if Su Yu hadn't gone out back then and had focused on cultivating in her own territory, she would probably be at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage by now.
After saying that, Su Xue turned to Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu and said, "Little sister, Liu Xiaoyuan, would you two please stand guard for me?"
If Su Xue wants to advance to the Golden Core stage, she will not only be attacked by lightning tribulations, but may also attract powerful enemies.
Because when one advances to the Golden Core stage, extraordinary phenomena will occur, which cultivators will sense. Some cultivators then try to take advantage of the cultivator's advancement to kick them while they are down.
Because cultivators cannot be distracted by other matters when they are advancing in their cultivation level, if another cultivator comes to cause trouble, they will be injured at best, and at worst, they will be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes.
Therefore, cultivators who have friends will usually ask their friends to protect them, or find a secluded place to set up a trap.
Of course, there are also some powerful individuals who are not afraid of other cultivators causing trouble when undergoing tribulation, because the tribulation is their best protection.
The power of lightning tribulation is immense. Many cultivators, once struck by it, will be either charred on the outside and tender on the inside, or completely annihilated, with even their primordial spirit unable to escape.
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely be there to protect you!" Su Yu declared.
Although the two sisters don't get along usually, Su Yu knows what to do when it comes to crucial moments.
Liu Xiaoyuan also stated, "Don't worry, with me standing by your side, no one can disturb your tribulation and advancement!"
