Chapter 309 - 309: The Strongest Golden Core (1)
He had just arrived at the entrance of the hall when the guards on both sides greeted him warmly. After all, in the current Mountain Fire Hall, Shen Ping was undoubtedly the most dazzling core member. Even if he was not well-informed, he knew that Shen Ping was a new genius in the Dao of Talismans, let alone the guards in front of the hall where the Hall Master lived. “Talisman Master Shen, at this hour, the Hall Master is teaching Talisman Master Jing Yu. Please wait here for a moment and let me report.” The guard on the left smiled and said.
Shen Ping hurriedly cupped his hands. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Senior.”
“You’re too kind, Talisman Master Shen.” Not long after, the guard returned. “Talisman Master Shen, you can go in now. In addition, the Hall Master has said that no matter what happens in the future, you can directly enter the hall with the pass. There’s no need to report.”
His tone was filled with envy. This was an extremely high honor. Even the Hall Master’s personal disciple did not receive such treatment.
Shen Ping thanked him. Soon, he arrived at the side hall. After passing through the door, he immediately saw a thin man sitting cross-legged on a green futon. Before he could speak, Hall Master Shan Huo’s laughter rang out. “Talisman Master Shen, this is my personal disciple, Jing Yu. Like you, he has outstanding talent in the Dao of Talismans.”
Talisman Master Jing Yu stood up and turned around. He cupped his hands and said, “Jing Yu greets Fellow Daoist Shen.” His expression was calm. There were no unnecessary emotions.
Shen Ping couldn’t help but glance at the genius Talisman Master of Mountain Fire Hall who he had heard of countless times. Then, he cupped his hands and said, “Greetings, Fellow Daoist Jing.”
“Disciple, you can leave first.”
“Yes, Master.”
After Jing Yu left, Hall Master Shan Huo asked Shen Ping why he had come this time. After knowing that he was applying for resources for the Golden Core Realm, he looked around in surprise and said in surprise, “It seems that Talisman Master Shen is very lucky. You should have consumed the blue blood of a strange beast, but 1 saw that the aura of the strange beast’s blood in your body is very little. 1 think it has all been absorbed and transformed into cultivation. It’s extremely rare even in our True Treasure Pavilion to have such a transformation at the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
Shen Ping did not say anything, but he was a little nervous.
Although the quality of the spiritual root required divine sense to penetrate the dantian and meridians to clearly investigate before he could sense it, the person in front of him was Hall Master Shan Huo, a powerful late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator. Who knew if the other party had any strange methods to see through him?
If he discovered a quality that far exceeded the upper limit of the spiritual root of the five continents and four seas, it was difficult to guess what he would think.
However, Hall Master Shan Huo did not probe too much into this blessing. He stood up and walked in front of Shen Ping. He smiled gently and said, “Core Formation is a difficult threshold for most cultivators, but it’s easy for core members who have consumed the blood of strange beasts. Even without the help of restricted resources, you won’t encounter any bottlenecks when you form your core.
“However, the Golden Core stage is different from the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stage. At this level, even if they are of the same realm, the difference in strength between them will be very huge. Does Talisman Master Shen know the exact reason?”
Shen Ping hurriedly said, “I’ve heard a little about it. I once heard from Perfected Pei that the Golden Core condensed by the Core Formation will have pill patterns appear. The more core patterns there are, the richer the magic power.”
Hall Master Shan Huo nodded and continued, “That’s right. The core patterns of the Golden Core are divided into three levels. Most of the Golden Core cultivators in the five continents and four seas have below three core patterns. If they don’t have great opportunities in their lives, it’s destined to be extremely difficult for them to successfully condense their Nascent Soul. For those who had outstanding spiritual roots and have fortuitous encounters will condense a Golden Core above three patterns. For example, more than 60% of the Hall-level members of our True Treasure Pavilion, the skill core members, and the outstanding Golden Core disciples of the top sects in the Zhongsheng Continent are like this.
“The chances of condensing a Golden Core above three patterns are much higher, but the chances of failure are still not small.
“Only Golden Core cultivators with more than six patterns have a high chance of successfully condensing their Nascent Soul. Of course, core patterns are only one of the factors affecting the Nascent Soul. It’s not an absolute factor. If one’s luck is deep, they can also step into the Nascent Soul realm with three patterns.”
Hall Master Shan Huo waved his sleeve lightly. His magic power surged and enveloped the two of them. He continued, “What 1 said just now was just a normal situation. The headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion has abundant resources that other top sects can’t compare to. For example, the blood of strange beasts is a unique resource in the five continents and four seas. Therefore, there’s a higher core pattern in the headquarters, and that’s the beast pattern golden core.”
When Shen Ping heard this, he could not help but guess, “Is the Hall Master talking about a golden core that condenses a strange beast form?”
Hall Master Shan Huo laughed. “Yes and no. The Beast Pattern Golden Core is the highest-grade core pattern. When it condenses, it will reveal a strange beast pattern on the surface of the Golden Core. As long as it succeeds, then… the Great Dao will be in sight!”
Shen Ping blinked and could not help but ask curiously, “Hall Master, may 1 ask if anyone in the headquarters has condensed a beast pattern golden core?” “No.” Hall Master Shan Huo shook his head. The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. It turned out that this was just a pancake! “Just because you don’t have it now doesn’t mean you won’t have it in the future! A Talisman Dao genius like Talisman Master Shen has never appeared in the True Treasure Pavilion before. Cultivators like us can only step into the peak if we dare to think.”
Listening to these impassioned words, Shen Ping wanted to roll his eyes. This pancake sounded very fragrant, but it tasted bad. No one had succeeded in the True Treasure Pavilion after standing in the five continents and four seas for so many years. It could be seen that it was just a rumor..
