Chapter 185: Chapter 160 Progress (Catch-up 6)_3

Back then, on Golden Yuan Peak, a cultivator exhausted the rare materials like Geng Metal from the storeroom to refine the Lifebound Flying Sword.

Unlike others, he didn’t request the help of the Artifact Refining Master from the Outer Hall, choosing instead to slowly refine it by himself.

This was the proper path for a Sword Cultivator; how could one’s Lifebound Flying Sword be refined by someone else’s hand?

Deacon Xue had no idea that Fang Xing’s goal was not just to refine a Lifebound Flying Sword.

Inside the Cave Mansion,

Fang Xing patted his lower abdomen with a satisfied smile, "Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Scripture... I’ve finally completed the conversion."

With a casual flick of his finger, a streak of sword light appeared, flying so fast it was inconceivable.

This was the ’Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Qi,’ known as the fastest sword speed!

At this moment, Fang Xing used Internal Vision to inspect his dantian, only to see his mana, originally droplets of light gold liquid, had transformed into a silvery-white color, appearing deeper and more substantial, like silvery-white sword pills.

"Is this the liquefied mana condensed after changing the Cultivation Technique? In the world of Sword Cultivators, should it be called ’Sword Essence’?"

Gazing at the almost solid Sword Essence, Fang Xing profoundly realized the rarity of a supreme Cultivation Technique.

"Foundation Establishment Cultivators forming a core is actually the process of liquid mana becoming a solid Golden Core... Originally, with my Heavenly Spirit Root and practicing Core Formation Technique, the liquefied mana I refined already hinted at solidity... suggesting that at Perfect Foundation Establishment, I could attempt Core Formation without using Core Formation Spirit Items and have a fair chance of success."

"Now, with the addition of the Cultivation Technique, the Sword Essence is like numerous sword pills... A True Core is already within reach."

"The only thing left to strive for is the Immortal Golden Core!"

In this world, the Dan Yuan formed by Jiedan Cultivators is categorized into Fake Core, True Core, and Golden Core.

A Fake Core is almost the same as Solidifying Pill failure and is despised by many Core Formation real people.

True Cores are also differentiated into low and top grades; top grade True Cores cultivate rapidly and hold the hope of reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

The Golden Core is referred to as ’Immortal Golden Core,’ the foundation of the great Dao!

Fang Xing continued to use Internal Vision, and in his dantian, amongst many Sword Essences, he spotted a small sword drifting up and down.

It was palm-sized, silvery-white, and speckled with starlight.

This was his Lifebound Flying Sword, refined with Tianxuan Star Sand as the main material, along with other rare auxiliary materials like Geng Metal and Gold Essence Iron Mother.

"Since the Lifebound Flying Sword is complete, it should have a name..."

"Perhaps... call it ’Rotten Iron’ to remind me of my humble beginnings."

"That doesn’t seem quite right. If I actually forge a Lifebound Flying Sword from scraps and refine the Primordial Embryo Skill, advancing by defeating enemies’ Flying Swords... then such a name would be apt. When the pinnacle is reached one day, slicing through the world’s famous swords with the Rotten Iron Sword would indeed make a grand statement..."

"That white-haired Sword Cultivator from the Scripture Collection Pavilion ridiculed the Wind Snow Sword as scraps and Rotten Iron, maybe one day I’ll slay his Flying Sword with scraps and Rotten Iron?"

"Never mind, we’re from the same Sect; let’s not hold grudges too tightly..."

"Two-word sword names are out of fashion now; maybe something with three words... ’Heavenly Star’? ’Alarming Swan’? Or ’Ten Step Kill’, ’Must Have Joy’?"

"Forget it, I can’t be bothered to name it..."

As Fang Xing breathed, around those solid Sword Essences, even more plump yet ethereal ’Sword Essences’ began to materialize, suddenly increasing to the number of three hundred sixty-five, and eventually even coalescing into a somewhat ethereal inner core.

At the heart of this ethereal Fake Core was an oddly shaped golden Dan Pill.

It had nine orifices and with just a little refining, an unending stream of mana surged forth, boosting Fang Xing’s Cultivation to the Fake Core realm!

"The Outer Elixir... is also complete."

"With this Outer Elixir, my Lifebound Flying Sword, and a top-tier Cultivation Technique... I’m afraid even ordinary Core Formation real people would find it difficult to defeat me!"
