Chapter 598: Kenny Lin’s Breakthrough (Part 4)

High-grade spirit stones could buy better refining materials, but Amalia didn’t need them at the moment.

She was still in the exploratory phase and didn’t want to waste resources unnecessarily, so she bought just enough.

"This Blue Spirit Mushroom feels like it can be eaten raw. Should I buy a couple of plants? And there’s the Crimson Ginseng, which can also restore spiritual power..."

Listening to the handsome and tall man in front of him talking incessantly about eating raw, the stall owner finally couldn’t hold back.

"Senior brother, these spiritual herbs are the best to beused for alchemy. Not only can you preserve more medicinal effects that way, but you can also fully absorb them."

"Can’t they be eaten raw?" Kenny Lin raised his eyes to look at him.

The stall owner hesitated slightly, "Um, well, you can, but it would be too wasteful."

"Why would it be wasteful?" Kenny Lin pressed on.

Dealing with such an inquisitive person, the stall owner couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

Wasn’t this common knowledge?

"Because the human body has many acupoints. When you ingest spiritual herbs directly, after entering the body, some of the essences may dissipate, and some may leak out through the acupoints."

"Let’s say, for example, a hundred-year Crimson Ginseng. If you eat it directly, you might absorb about one-fifth of its energy, which is already decent. But if you refine it into a spiritual pill, you can remove unnecessary impurities, leaving behind the essence, and making it easier for spiritual practitioners to control and absorb. Although it still can’t reach one hundred percent absorption, eighty percent is achievable."

Kenny Lin nodded, "So, does that mean if absorption can reach over eighty percent by eating it directly, there’s no need to refine it into a pill?"

"Well, theoretically you could say that," the stall owner replied, not entirely confident.

He had never actually seen anyone swallow spiritual herbs whole.

This fellow didn’t seem to belong to any peak; his thinking was quite unique and independent.

What a talent.

Amalia nudged Kenny Lin to tone it down.

Kenny Lin shrugged, "Well, you know how it goes."

Amalia pushed him aside and pointed to several types of spiritual herbs on the stall, "Please pack these up for me. I’ll take them."

The stall owner was immediately pleased and gathered up everything Amalia mentioned.

She didn’t even bother negotiating, a customer like this would happily accept another batch.

Amalia heard that the spiritual energy in the devil battlefield was very rich, so she bought a bunch of elixirs to replenish her spiritual power, as well as some small enhancement elixirs for her cultivation.

There were also great enhancement elixirs, but they were too expensive, so she couldn’t afford them.

After sweeping through the market and spending all their spiritual stones, they left.

Once they were gone, the word spread in the trading area that a big spender from the Artifact Peak had visited the trading area and casually dropping several hundred mid-grade spiritual stones without blinking an eye.

Because Amalia bought a lot of materials for refining artifacts, everyone assumed she belonged to the Artifact Peak.

Back at the Upper Ninth Peak, both of them began a brief closed-door cultivation session.

Kenny Lin took the sect-issued elixirs to prepare for a breakthrough from the Foundation Building to the Golden Core stage.

The spiritual energy at the Upper Ninth Peak was dense and had prohibitions in place, making it a safer place to break through than in the devil battlefield.

However, forming the Golden Core was not an easy task.

Even in the Green Lotus Sect, many cultivators were stuck at the Foundation Building stage, and some of them even have failed to form the Golden Core as well.

Amalia originally intended to cultivate herself, but fearing something would happen to him, she chose to kept watching him by his side.

She knew why Kenny Lin chose to breakthrough at this time.

After arriving at the devil battlefield, having the strength of Golden Core would better ensure their safety.

Although she wouldn’t let Kenny Lin intervene for her, if he could break through to the Golden Core stage, he would have the ability to protect himself in the devil battlefield.

That’s why she gave him all the elixirs.

The difference between the Foundation Building and Golden Core stages lay in the fact that the latter would produce an additional core, known as the Inner Core, within the body.

Only by condensing the inner core in the body can someone become the golden core cultivators.

Kenny Lin’s body was like an abyss, unabashedly absorbing the spiritual energy in the air.

With the already dense spiritual energy of Upper Ninth Peak converging around him, it formed into a swirling spiritual river in the sky, creating significant movements and stillness.

Master Lian was alerted, and his figure instantly appeared in front of the house.

Clad in snow-white robes, he nearly blended with the swirling snowflakes.

Amalia realized this belatedly, also because Master Lian deliberately exposed his aura; otherwise, he wouldn’t have detected it at all.

"Why are you come here, Master?" Amalia asked.

Master Lian took out a small white jade bottle from his bosom and threw it to Amalia, "Give this to him once he formed the Golden Core."

After saying that, he left as promptly as he had arrived.

Amalia opened the bottle.

An intensely rich medicinal fragrance immediately engulfed her senses, carrying a faint, refreshing scent.

Whether in color saturation or medicinal potency, these pills were different from those obtained from the sect or purchased in the trading area.

With their rich color and potent medicinal properties, they could be considered top-grade pills.

Gradually, the movements in the air calmed down and the spiritual energy summoned by Kenny Lin.

Amalia continued to sit and meditate until the spiritual energy disappear before finally standing up.

She pushed open the door in front of her and saw Kenny Lin sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed with his eyes closed.
