Ti flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day Li Jizhou turned one hundred and twenty, an unusual sensation erged within his Dantian, causing the previously stable Golden Core to tremble slightly.
His speed in absorbing Spiritual Qi also noticeably increased.
Based on Li Jizhou’s years of studying ancient texts and the information obtained from Middle Stage Core Formation cultivators like Situ Yan and Ye Jingyu, he understood that the Middle Stage of Core Formation was imminent.
Having condensed his Golden Core at the age of ninety-two, he spent twenty-eight years and finally touched the Middle Stage of the Golden Core faintly.
This made Li Jizhou very satisfied.
Ordinary True Core cultivators at this stage have their cultivation speed determined by the grade of their Spirit Root, and Top-Grade Spirit Roots usually require at least fifty years to transition from Core Formation to touching the Middle Stage, assuming that their Cultivation Technique doesn’t hold them back.
Li Jizhou’s cultivation speed post-Core Formation, however, relied on the Golden Core’s benefits; once the Golden Core was ford, his speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was comparable to Celestial Spirit Roots.
However, this was rely reaching the threshold of the Middle Stage of Core Formation, and when he could truly break through the Middle Stage of Core Formation was uncertain, lacking a definite standard.
Li Jizhou also did not know if his Evergreen Skill’s effect of having no bottleneck would still work at this point.
Above Core Formation, bottlenecks could no longer be broken through with dication, but relied more on insights and opportunities.
Even the likes of Situ Yan, a son of the vice president of a trade league, despite having condensed their Golden Core, had to go out and train due to bottlenecks.
"Reincarnation Treasure Mirror!"
With a light touch to his consciousness sea, information from this life erged.
Lifespan [120/1039]
Approaching the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, the lifespan limit increased by another ten years.
Normally, in the Core Formation Stage, the lifespan limit is five hundred years, with an increase of about twenty years for each small stage up, whereas Li Jizhou, without having broken through the Middle Stage, rely touching it, has already increased his lifespan by ten years.
Li Jizhou was even more satisfied.
Now closer to the Nascent Soul, he felt a stronger perception of that layer of Heaven and Earth Cage outside the Golden Core.
Its binding force beca increasingly evident.
It was precisely because of this that his expectation for longevity increased.
"Master Huang!"
Just then, Liu Hongling’s voice calling from outside the courtyard.
"Co in!" Li Jizhou waved to remove the restriction.
Three years ago, after stabilizing, the Liu family held a grand banquet to thank him.
They gave so substantial thank-you gifts.
He straightforwardly expressed his need for the Longevity Fruit.
The Liu family had many relatives searching externally for Tier Three Demon Beasts containing Earth Spirits and various Tier Three Array materials, hoping to hear of the Longevity Fruit.
Three years ago, that Six-legged Spirit Turtle still hadn’t helped Liu Hongling advance to Tier Three.
Over these three years, Liu Hongling would occasionally co to visit, bringing so gifts.
During his leisure, Li Jizhou developed so interest in Liu Hongling’s identity as an Earth Spirit Master, occasionally discussing related topics.
As their exchanges deepened, Li Jizhou’s understanding of Earth Spirit Masters beca more detailed; he knew better why Liu Zhengfeng said once Liu Hongling advanced to Tier Three Earth Spirit Master, she would be esteed again.
Earth Spirit Masters, children of Heaven and Earth, can sense Heaven and Earth without cultivation.
Upon advancing to Tier Three Earth Spirit Master, they can awaken divine abilities that connect with Heaven and Earth, uniting their divine sense with the heavens, able to perceive spiritual objects, treasures, and so Tier Three Earth Spirit Masters can even stabilize immortal dicines!
After verifying this point, Li Jizhou couldn’t help but feel sowhat tempted.
If she really could manifest such divine abilities upon advancing to Tier Three, this would truly be an inexhaustible treasure trove.
Especially for places like the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, where many treasures are buried underground.
Of course, the strength of divine abilities like connecting with Heaven and Earth varies. The strong could, as recorded in ancient tis, stabilize even Quasi-Immortal level immortal dicines with Tier Three Earth Spirit Masters.
The weak might only sense treasures and spiritual objects within a few yards around them.
Because of this, a year ago, Li Jizhou connected the Divine Soul to revive a substitute wooden doll that had been dormant for two years, and went to the Sea Domain, bringing Guagua along, following the Liu family’s path.
At that ti, Li Jizhou discovered the battlefield of the Demon Sect and Righteous Army had moved from the Yan Kingdom to nurous small Cultivation Countries in the Southern Domain.
Where the doll traveled, the sight was unbearable.
Countless innocent cultivators used by the Demon Sect as blood food and materials.
Truly a calamity!
"Master Huang!" This ti, as Liu Hongling entered, she directly knelt.
Li Jizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, guessing her intention.
The Liu family, who had been searching for Demon Beasts containing Earth Spirits for another three years, likely found it.
However, the substitute wooden doll was still on the way, probably taking so ti.
Not sure if it could catch up.
"What is it?"
"Master Huang, I beseech you to help ; today my relatives sent word that they’ve discovered traces of a Tier Three Earth Spirit Beast. Based on experience, it shouldn’t take long to find it. But... but now Yanzhi hasn’t fully recovered, and our clan mbers are certainly not a match against the Demon Beast, it would definitely be hard to capture it."
"Master Huang, you know Hongling’s situation. I personally don’t care anymore, but Hongling owes too much to the clan, disappointing many expectations. If this cannot be accomplished, Hongling cannot die in peace.
I beg Master Huang to have rcy, Hongling is willing to take a heavy oath, if you can help advance to Tier Three Earth Spirit Master... Hongling is willing... willing to do anything, give it all, even be a servant, with no reservation!" Liu Hongling had completely discarded all dignity this ti, not leaving a shred of face.
Only when soone is driven to the edge do they act this way.
Li Jizhou could empathize.
But, without the arrival of the doll, he couldn’t guarantee anything.
It was impossible for him to go out personally.
After a long silence,
"I can promise you, but I need to seclude myself for about a month. Ti may not be on our side, but if after coming out you’ve found the Earth Spirit Beast, I will take action!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hongling wept tears of joy and bowed deeply to Li Jizhou.
After sending off Liu Hongling, Li Jizhou shifted his attention to the doll.
Actually, the doll had entered the southeastern part of the swamp three months ago.
Coming from there at the doll’s speed, it should only take a little over two months.
But soon after entering the swamp, the doll was attacked.
Four petty thieves who specialize in ambushing newcors in the southwestern area.
Four Fake Pill cultivators, one True Core leading.
That’s no match for the doll with many High-Tier puppets, almost instantaneously.
But, upon those five deaths, possibly due to the bloodiness, a Tier Three Advanced mutated Demon Beast was attracted.
The divine ability was inexplicable, well-attuned to swamp conditions.
After fierce combat, using so unknown divine ability, it transmitted the swift puppet and Guagua separately to unknown places.
Luckily, at the crucial mont, Li Jizhou manipulated the doll to abandon three Tier Three Junior Level puppets to escape.
Without Guagua and the swift puppet, the doll’s journey was fraught with danger.
Li Jizhou had no choice but to navigate Ghost Shadow out of Guzhu City to et the doll.
The substitute doll is currently hiding on a withered tree dissipating all its aura, waiting.
Regarding Guagua, Li Jizhou connected its vision, although unsure of its location, knowing it truly thrived here.
The swamp’s toxic haze acts as nourishnt.
In a few days it wreaks havoc in the swamp, more so than in the Sea Domain.
The swift puppet, however, worried Li Jizhou; it was transported near a Holy City, observing from its view, seemingly everyone in that city had puppets, and their grades were not low.
Li Jizhou suspected it might be Celestial Secret City near the Ten Thousand Demon Country at the southwestern edge of the swamp!
