So Ayao began cultivating on this island, which she named Good Luck Island. Time passed very quickly, and three months went by in a flash. After three months, Ayao, who was ready, began to form her core.
Inside the secret chamber, Ayao sat on a futon. She seemed to have taken the dust-reducing pill she had refined, and then adjusted her state to its peak. She began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Time passed slowly, and A Yao continuously gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around her. The spiritual energy in the secret chamber became increasingly abundant, and a huge vortex of spiritual energy surrounded A Yao. A Yao closed her eyes, her body radiating golden light, and in her dantian, there was a liquid golden core.
This liquid golden core is a fake core that only appears after a Foundation Establishment cultivator has reached the Great Perfection of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
What she needs to do now is to turn this fake pill into a real golden pill.
Ayao's hands formed hand seals, her gestures constantly changing. She was continuously compressing the liquid golden elixir, trying to solidify it into a real golden elixir.
Good Luck Island was shrouded in heavy magic arrays, so no one nearby noticed any changes on the island. Only the birds and beasts that lived on Good Luck Island raised their heads and looked at the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky.
Because of her Heavenly Spiritual Root, A Yao's process of condensing her Golden Core went very smoothly. After compressing her Golden Core time and time again, she successfully entered the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
"Hahahahahahahahaha..."
After successfully forming her core, A Yao was in a very happy mood, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She has reached the Golden Core stage; she has finally become a Golden Core cultivator.
She looked inward at her dantian and saw a golden elixir, slightly larger than a thumb, glowing inside her body like a golden bead or a golden gemstone.
After A Yao formed her Core, she immediately left the secret chamber. She tested her current speed and then cast a few spells to see the difference between casting the same spells at the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages. She discovered that spells that she had to exert a lot of effort to cast at the Foundation Establishment stage could be cast very easily after forming her Core. Her current speed was at least ten times that of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Ayao was very satisfied with herself after forming her core. She didn't realize that her appearance had changed a lot after forming her core. Her skin became fair and rosy, and her originally haggard face was now radiant. Her azure eyes were clean and pure, like the finest gemstones.
After achieving her Core Formation, A Yao did not leave Good Fortune Island. She continued her cultivation on the island, organizing the items on the bookshelves in her cave and studying the cultivation insights left behind by the cave's owner. After studying these insights, she realized that she didn't actually need to refine the Dust-Reducing Pill.
Although her foundation was damaged, as a person with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, it did not hinder her from forming a Core, but it would have a significant impact on her from forming a Nascent Soul. Fortunately, the notes left by the cave's owner contained methods on how to repair a damaged foundation, so A-Yao began to refine pills according to the methods written in them.
As for the medicinal herbs...
Ah Yao discovered that everything on Lucky Island was a stroke of luck for her; it was truly a stroke of good fortune.
Eighty years passed in a flash. A Yao cultivated on Lucky Island to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and her damaged foundation was basically repaired. Originally, A Yao wanted to form her Nascent Soul on Lucky Island before leaving, but she didn't expect that the battle between two Void Refinement stage cultivators in the sea would affect Lucky Island.
Seeing that the fight between the two was getting more and more terrifying, and that even the defensive formation of Lucky Island could not withstand the magic power of two cultivators in the Void Refinement stage, A Yao immediately put all the good things on the island into her storage bag and then quickly left.
Rumble—
Towering waves surged across the sea as A Yao sped forward without looking back. Although she didn't look back, her divine sense captured the terrifying scene behind her: an enormous, jet-black Hundred-Eyed Demon Octopus writhing in the sea with countless black tentacles. The cultivator fighting this monster had unleashed a longsword radiating a terrifying aura, which split into hundreds of thousands of pieces, almost filling the entire sky.
Ayao was already quite far away from them; the sheer pressure alone made her vomit blood.
Lucky Island was destroyed in the storm.
Ayao didn't know who the two sides fighting were, only that one was a human cultivator and the other was a demon cultivator from the demon race. Although the destruction of Good Fortune Island saddened her greatly, she thought, "People should be content; it's already quite good that I've survived."
Besides, this Lucky Island was an opportunity she stumbled upon by sheer luck.
After having enjoyed such good fortune for so long, it can't last forever.

Several days later.
In Tianxi City, Ayao stood in front of a shop's railing. She had just finished trading some unwanted medicinal herbs and received a batch of spirit stones. Ayao wondered, where should she go now?
Back to Kunshan?
Honestly, she doesn't want to go back. What would she do there? Nobody loves her, nobody cares about her, and she gets beaten up all the time.
For eighty years, she cultivated herself alone, living a very carefree life!
If they hadn't damaged her foundation, she would have already reached the Nascent Soul stage. What would she do if she went back? Get beaten up?
But she had an unrealistic fantasy in her heart: maybe if they saw that she was now in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, they would stop bullying her. Perhaps in all these years, while she was hiding on Good Fortune Island to cultivate, her parents and her brothers came looking for her.
After a while of lost in thought, A Yao flew down the long street. She walked along the street for a while and then entered an auction house. While walking along a corridor inside the auction house, she unexpectedly ran into Lu Xuening and Lu Yunshen.
Ayao was very surprised.
When she saw them, they saw her too.
“Xiao Qi.” Lu Yun Shen looked surprised.
"Seventh Sister, what a coincidence!" Lu Xuening's expression turned a little strange after seeing A Yao. She looked A Yao up and down and found that she couldn't see through A Yao's cultivation level at all, which meant that A Yao's cultivation level was far higher than hers.
Has she... has she achieved the Golden Core stage?
"Little Seven, you...you're already at the late Golden Core stage!" Lu Yun Shen exclaimed in shock.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuening's expression turned extremely ugly.
Late Golden Core stage? Lu Xueyao has actually reached the late Golden Core stage? How... how is this possible? She's still only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and Lu Xueyao is already at the late Golden Core stage? This is unbearable for Lu Xuening. How could Lu Xueyao's cultivation speed be so fast? Suddenly, she remembered something: Lu Xueyao has a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Ayao sized up Lu Yunshen and Lu Xuening, sensing something odd about their attitude. Wait a minute, could they really think she'd been cultivating on Yingxiu Peak for the past eighty years?
