Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 427 - Chapter 427 Chapter 238 Cultivating Golden Core Spiritual

Chapter 427: Chapter 238: Cultivating Golden Core Spiritual Beast! Chapter 427: Chapter 238: Cultivating Golden Core Spiritual Beast! Guardian of the Immortal City, Su Ping agreed to come and help when needed.

After receiving the communication token sent by the Guardian female cultivator, he also casually contracted a Golden Hair White Jade Rat sent from the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion and gave them an invitation afterward.

He made it a teleportation point and instructed the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion to take good care of it.

Then, Su Ping turned and left the Guardian Immortal City and went fishing at Frost Moon Lake.

He opened the Pot Cave Heaven and entered to start the Spiritual Beast nurturing plan.

The Fishing Point of the Mysterious Turtle Island had been moved inside the Pot Cave Heaven, allowing Su Ping to fish there while he took out a Demon Core.

Except for the black Jiao Dragon, Ao Li, which was already a Nascent Soul Realm Spiritual Beast and for whom eating these Demon Cores was only to increase some blood and mana foundation,

the other Spiritual Beast companions still needed them considerably.

Su Ping first summoned the juvenile Mysterious Turtle.

However, before even one Demon Core could be swallowed, the juvenile Mysterious Turtle bit it into pieces, transforming it into a surge of pure energy that filled its whole body.

In the blink of an eye, the aura of the juvenile Mysterious Turtle had increased significantly.

However, it still fell far too short of the directly documented advancement to the Golden Core Realm.

“…”

“Although one Demon Core is comparable to ten thousand tons of Foundation Establishment demon beast meat, it still wastes the true purpose of the Demon Core.”

“You gluttonous turtle, better wait to eat demon beast meat,” he said.

Su Ping sighed and shifted his divine sense to other Spiritual Beasts.

Apart from those alien species, Su Ping did not forget Grey and White, the two Spiritual Rats that had followed him the longest.

These two Spiritual Rats had quite exceptional talents themselves, particularly in exploration.

Su Ping first used fake Dragon Blood to enhance their overall qualities.

Then, he took out a Demon Core each and fed them.

Grey and White naturally couldn’t bite the Demon Core, allowing it to reside within their bodies and subsequently integrate into their flesh and blood.

Thud!

Grey and White simultaneously shuddered; all their fur suddenly stood on end, and each sprouted an illusion.

On White loomed the shape of a giant snake, while Grey bore the form of a large spider.

Clearly, these were the original forms of the hosts of the Demon Cores.

This was one of the dangers of refining Demon Cores; cultivators needed to prepare extensively and ideally should have a protector when trying to assimilate them.

However, in Su Ping’s case, the surrounding space suddenly fell with a blood light.

With a whooshing sound, Blood Chains appeared, locking around these illusions and forcibly suppressing them back into the bodies of Grey and White.

Soon, a bottle of Purification Potion appeared, splitting in two and entering the mouths of the two rats.

The Blood Chains firmly controlled the Demon Core illusions while the Purification Potion took effect.

Making Grey and White emit agonizing screams.

After a few breaths, the screams stopped, and a vast amount of Blood Qi Soul energy ensued from all directions, entering them.

Fortunate as they were, Grey and White promptly utilized the Demon Core within their bodies to rapidly refine this power.

The Demon Cores, in the process of refinement, gradually merged with their hosts, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

Boom!

Minutes later,

Red light flashed in the eyes of Grey and White, and soon a kilometer-long giant rat Guardian Divine General illusion emerged on each of them.

This illusion emitted red light, its fangs and claws acting like a great demon causing chaos everywhere.

In just a short time, they had entered the rank of Golden Core Spiritual Beasts.

Although these forcibly promoted Golden Core Spiritual Beasts possessed strength but lacked skills and were not familiar with their innate divine abilities,

they at least solved the problem of being.

What was lacking could always be compensated for with subsequent learning and practice.

Su Ping looked at Grey and White, believing they would study well and justify the great opportunity he had given them.

After nurturing Grey and White, who had followed him the earliest and with whom he had the deepest emotional connection,

Su Ping’s gaze shifted to the other summoned alien species.

Apart from chickens, rabbits, and pigs, Su Ping had also summoned Zhou Xuan’s encountered White Tiger when coming down the mountain.

This White Tiger, too, was a beast with exceptional innate talent, not an alien species, but it could also be considered a possessor of a top-grade Spirit Root if it were a cultivator–a potential Demon King!

Having plenty of Demon Cores, Su Ping consecutively appointed them as Guardian Gods and used Blood Chains for an extra layer of security,

helping them refine the Demon Cores.

Suddenly, in less than half a day within the Pot Cave Heaven,

six Golden Core Spiritual Beasts had emerged!

Along with Su Ping and the black Jiao Dragon, Ao Li,

it could be said that even without considering the Blood God’s Body, Su Ping’s high-end combat power was now enough to overwhelm a Guardian Immortal City!

And this was far from his limit.

As more alien species or higher-than-top-grade Spiritual Beasts were discovered in the future,

the number of Golden Core Spiritual Beasts under his command would continue to increase.

If this continues, perhaps, besides being the Blood God Ancestor,

he could also become an Ancestor of Ten Thousand Beasts?

Hmm… why does this all feel like the style of a villain?

Su Ping touched his nose and looked around at the Spiritual Beasts, which had grown larger after the Demon Core refinement and whose illusions projected the appearance of great demons.

He sighed and thought of a Transformation Technique suitable for Golden Core demon beasts.

Such a Secret Technique was naturally not available in the Blood God Sect, but thankfully, the Ten Directions Sect used Spiritual Beasts as Guardian Gods, and thus had researched and inherited this method.

After demon beasts transformed into humans, their strength would be somewhat reduced,

However, when truly faced with trouble, he could still freely revert to his original form.

Compared to his fierce and dreadful appearance now, assuming a human form would undoubtedly make him seem much more handsome, and it would also make certain tasks much more convenient.

Besides, without a humanoid form, Guardian Divine Generals always made Su Ping feel like something was missing.

Su Ping took out the Cultivation Methods and various Secret Technique Inheritance Jade Scrolls related to Spiritual Beasts.

He then had Ao Li supervise and instruct these fledgling Golden Core Spiritual Beasts to study diligently.

As the Spiritual Beasts had room for improvement, Su Ping had not forgotten about Zhou Xuan, Zhang Ping’an, and other workers.

President Huang and the other Registered Disciples had talents too poor, making them too low in cost-effectiveness to cultivate, so for now he merely gave them Qi Blood Pills to turn them into Great Grandmasters of the Martial Path.

Zhou Xuan, Zhang Ping’an, and Kamo Junichiro, among other exceptionally talented workers.

Su Ping had also gradually increased the frequency and quality of the pills he provided them.

This resulted in their cultivation speed, while training in the Pot Cave Heaven, receiving a significant boost compared to before!

Moreover, with enough effort and especially after obtaining the Inheritance Stone Wall, Su Ping didn’t mind letting them receive chances from it, allowing them all to enter it.

Unfortunately, other than Zhou Xuan, who obtained a portion of the Cultivation Technique opportunity, the other workers merely slightly tempered their Heart Realm.

After finishing all this, after fishing, Su Ping then resumed his usual routine.

Ten days later…

In the Guardian Immortal City, the auction was buzzing.

Descendants from various sects and families competed fiercely for precious items.

Two-thirds of these items came from the Blood God Ancestor, yet each one fetched sky-high prices.

The Deputy Pavilion Master, during the mid-event break, couldn’t help but wipe the non-existent sweat beads off his forehead.

He felt that this round of auction might be the best chance he had in his life to amass Spirit Stones.

“Amassing so many Spirit Stones.”

“He really must be preparing to leave the Immortal Cultivation World, right?”

The Deputy Pavilion Master quietly speculated, thinking about his own family’s younger generation.

He believed that with his status, taking his family and direct descendants to that escape secret realm shouldn’t be a big problem.

But as for the collateral branches of his family, obviously, it would be impossible to take care of everyone.

However, they were ultimately his own bloodline.

The Deputy Pavilion Master still discreetly left hints, advising the heads of the different family branches to take their most talented descendants and seek refuge overseas under the Blood God Ancestor’s forces.

For the rest, the Deputy Pavilion Master could only hope that they could carve out their own path.

After all, in the eyes of high-level members like him,

even if the Old Ancestor was mysterious and unfathomable, it was unlikely that he could take all the middle and lower echelons away.

The number of rooms in the houses being built in that secret realm might just represent the number of people who could eventually evacuate.

This was also considered a reasonable analysis by them.

After resting for a two-hour period, the auction continued.

In the depths of the underground space of Guardian Immortal City.

Inside the Array Core Node.

The Guardian Woman Cultivator left the auction scene and appeared here, controlling the Big Array with two Worship Elders, observing the movements toward the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Thirty-six Guardian Immortal Cities had laid down the Heaven and Earth Net Array.

Thanks to this Array set up by Immortal Chi Yuan in the past, they were still firmly controlling the Ten Thousand Mountains, preventing these demon beasts from massively emerging into the outside world.

“How’s the situation?”

“It might be the worst-case scenario…”

“Almost all the formations on the side of the Ten Thousand Mountains have detected the presence of Golden Core demon beasts.”

“Judging from the aura, there are at least ten Golden Core demon beasts approaching our Guardian Immortal City!”

The Worship Elder’s expression was serious as he looked towards the Guardian Woman Cultivator.

This Acting Guardian was a direct descendant of a Nascent Soul Elder from the main peak.

Due to her innate physique, from childhood, she was sent to a great sect in the Northern Land for cultivation.

It was also for this reason that this successful Cultivating Woman managed to avoid being summoned to the main peak, enabling her to guard the Immortal City.

“If it’s just Golden Core Demon Kings, in conjunction with the Big Array, we should still be able to keep them outside the gates.”

“Wait a moment!”

The Guardian Woman Cultivator hadn’t finished speaking when she sensed something abnormal through the fluctuation of the Array Core.

As the Worship Elder threw a Mana into the array,

a projection emerged.

It was the outskirts of Ten Thousand Mountains.

Outside the mountains, a fortress had even been constructed.

Previously, this fortress served as an outpost for cultivators when hunting demon beasts.

Now, the fortress had been abandoned.

Not long ago, taking advantage of a pause in the demon beasts’ offensive, the Inspection Envoy had set up several talismans and traps there,

and left a few Wooden Puppets as sentinels.

Now, the perspective from the light screen came from those Wooden Puppets.

Just in front of the fortress in the woods, a dark yellow mist was sweeping over.

The large trees in the woods, which would take three or four people to encircle, rapidly withered under the yellow mist and finally turned into puddles of black soil.

At the same time, as the yellow mist approached,

The figures could faintly see a massive creature, as large as a small mountain, slowly moving within the fog,

and with those pale blue eyes inside the yellow mist looking over.

The Wooden Puppet that met its gaze instantly corroded, turning into black mud.
