Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 119 "You are the State Preceptor, right?"_3

25 mid-grade spirit stones, 3702 lower-grade spirit stones.

So many spirit stones, mainly because after those fishing rods were upgraded, he still fished up various kinds of messy colored fish, and these fish often brought him a large number of spirit stones.

Plus this harvest.

He now had 50 mid-grade spirit stones and about 21,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

Out of these, just Ning Taiping contributed more than 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones; it was a pity that there were no mid-grade spirit stones in Ning Taiping's storage ring, probably all used up during his breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

In addition to that, there were 9 random white entry jade slips.

Originally, he had fished up 16, but he used 7 in the secret realm, leaving only 9 random white entry jade slips. With these nine white entries, he could easily fish out another entry to make it ten.

Additionally, there were 7 "Eight Desolate Fruits" and 7 "Heavenly Dao Detoxification Pills"—treasures that were not needed for now, but would definitely be useful in the future.

He also brought out a seven-colored fishing rod.

Of course, the most important harvest was the seven second-grade Golden Cores he fished up!

"Hmm..."

Chen Qiu was tallying his gains, his expression slightly bizarre without speaking. So many sevens?

These seven second-grade Golden Cores, added to his original three, were already enough to make 10 second-grade Golden Cores, even one more than the requirement for condensing a ten-pattern Golden Core.

"Perfect!"

Chen Qiu nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the scholar and the others, "Let's set off for Fei Zhou, find a place there for the scholar to recover his cultivation, and then take the scholar to challenge the sword cultivator inheritance!"

There were still two days left until the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard.

The Heavenly Pride Leaderboard would start the day after tomorrow morning.

As the sun had already set behind the mountain, Chen Qiu looked towards the sunset with a hint of distraction, murmuring, "Something seems off."

The progress was much faster than he had anticipated.

His original plan was to give up on this year's Heavenly Pride Leaderboard and make a clean sweep in next year's, but now it seemed that the progress was much faster than he had planned.

His plan was to take a year to gather the conditions for the ten-pattern Golden Core.

Now...

It seemed like he was close to gathering all of it in just a few days.

If he could condense a ten-pattern Golden Core and step into the initial stage of the Golden Core before the competition of the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard began, he really wanted to know if all the Heavenly Prides of the Da Xia Country combined could beat him?

It was about time for the Heavenly Prides of Da Xia to witness what a true Heavenly Pride was like.

Tsk, scary.

He imagined in his mind what it would be like if he were just an ordinary Golden Core and his opponent was someone with a ten-pattern Golden Core. The thought alone was somewhat frightening.

...

A night of rushing on the road.

Without any delay.

When the moon was halfway up the sky, they once again set foot in Fei Zhou, a place they hadn't visited in a long time, but they didn't enter an inn. Instead, they went into the small world and protected the scholar's cultivation.

In the back mountain of Chao Tian Sect. Explore hidden tales at empire

After the scholar had cleared all the impurities from his Tao Foundation—due to excessive consumption of Qi Replenishing Pills—he sat cross-legged and swallowed a "Heavenly Dao Detoxification Pill". Accompanied by the mental method, billows of dark fog floated above his head.

This fog was the toxin from the depths of the Tao Foundation being forced out of the body.

A few sticks of incense later.

The scholar slowly opened his eyes and stood up, looking refreshed and full of gratitude towards Chen Qiu. Then, with an excitement and a vigor that was never seen before, he clenched a sword technique in one hand and turned his head to the nearby bush, shouting lightly,

"Knock."

Familiar syllables, different sword formation.

The scholar's sleeve revealed a Qingfeng sword that seemed particularly thrilled, trembling continuously before shooting into the skies. It quivered even more fiercely, and then in a blink of an eye, it formed hundreds of light swords in the sky, identical to the Qingfeng in shape and strong with sword intent.

The scholar shouted again, "Qinglian Sword Formation!"

In the sky, the hundreds of light swords instantly shifted positions and formed an imposing sword array. Following the scholar's pupils suddenly contracting, the light swords plunged into the bushes in the blink of an eye.

All trees, leaves, and everything along the way were cut into pieces by the intense sword intent.

With just this one strike—

All the trees along the way collapsed.

"Uh..."

Fat Long looked at the scene with a weird expression and said subconsciously, "Just this?"

It wasn't that it wasn't strong.

For the scholar, at the third layer of the Foundation Establishment, to have such a move, he was already way beyond his peers. It was just that after seeing Brother Qiu's grandiose Thunder Dragon overwhelming the sky, this Qinglian Sword Formation seemed almost child's play in contrast.

With a light laugh, the scholar patted Fat Long's shoulder, leaving them with a view of his confident backside as he casually waved his hand without turning around, heading towards Chao Tian Sect, "A sword cultivator never looks back, I'm off."

The next moment!

"Boom!!!"

The bushes that had been penetrated by hundreds of light swords suddenly exploded with a deafening noise. Countless dazzling lights burst from deep underground through the crevices, and at the same time, the entire forest within dozens of yards was blasted up into the air, turning into dust.

What was left was a deep pit that was as wide as ten yards.

At the bottom of the pit, an extremely dense sword intent could still be felt.

This strike was not something an ordinary third-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator could achieve; it must have been an all-out attack of at least a seventh-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Exceptionally noteworthy!

"..."

Fat Long watched the scholar's back and his mouth twitched slightly, "This kid's really putting on an act for us."

Just then, the scholar quickly teleported beside his brother and reappeared next to Chen Qiu and the others, looking somewhat embarrassed as he clasped his fist and coughed slightly, "That... Brother Qiu, I won't say much about gratitude."
