Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1453: Chapter 1453: Refining the Golden Core

The most precious thing on a Golden Core Realm Spirit Beast naturally is the golden core formed within its Qi Sea.

The golden core is not solely condensed from spiritual energy; it also integrates the essence, energy, spirit, emotions, will, and thoughts of both martial artists and spirit beasts.

Once the golden core becomes complete, it can transform into a nascent soul, possessing certain life characteristics and spiritual intelligence.

Once the nascent soul materializes and liberates outside the body, it reaches the Soul Severing Realm beyond the Martial Dao, granting martial artists or spirit beasts a clone.

This clone is almost a replica of the martial artist or spirit beast’s original form, identical in appearance. A powerful clone possesses certain autonomous thought capabilities, assisting the main body in battles and helping probe distances the divine sense cannot reach.

However, whether human martial artists or spirit beasts, upon death, the golden core rapidly escapes the body and disperses into the world.

If one can absorb its essence before the golden core dissipates, it provides unimaginable benefits for the cultivation of martial artists or spirit beasts.

This is why hundreds of strong fighters flocked to attack the Green Tail Wolf, desiring to claim its golden core once it was expelled.

Fang Bai painstakingly slew the Green Tail Wolf, unwilling to miss the opportunity and let the golden core disperse on its own.

After setting up a defensive formation at the cave entrance and eliminating possible disturbances from outside, he waited by the Green Tail Wolf’s corpse, calmly awaiting the golden core’s emergence.

Tens of breaths later, Fang Bai’s eyes lit up as he saw a fist-sized bead emerge from the Green Tail Wolf’s body, slowly levitating into the air.

The bead emitted green and golden light, dazzling and illuminating the entire cave; it was indeed the Green Tail Wolf’s golden core.

In his previous life, a golden core like this wouldn’t catch Fang Bai’s eye at all.

Yet in this life, with Fang Bai cultivating anew, he felt immense surprise and excitement upon facing such a golden core.

Fang Bai extended his right hand, holding the golden core in his palm.

Despite the Green Tail Wolf having previously expelled the golden core, unleashing its terrifying power that swept away thousands of enemies and reduced hundreds of martial artists to ashes in an instant,

at this moment, the golden core appeared exceedingly docile; Fang Bai held it gently in his palm, without the slightest movement, quietly releasing pure and intense Wood Spirit Qi, filling the entire cave space.

Fang Bai took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the ground, and gently grasped the golden core in his hand, beginning to circulate his cultivation technique, activating the Chaos Origin Energy within his Qi Sea.

The Chaos Origin Energy, originally rotating slowly, began spinning rapidly under Fang Bai’s intent, generating a powerful centripetal force.

Under the influence of this force, the Green Tail Wolf’s golden core in Fang Bai’s hand started releasing Wood Spirit Qi abundantly and swiftly, all absorbed into Fang Bai’s body.

In a fist-sized golden core, there’s the Wood Element Qi that the Green Tail Wolf absorbed and accumulated over thousands of years.

These Wood Spirit Qi continuously flowed into Fang Bai’s body; though a significant amount of spiritual energy was destined to be lost in the process, as long as Fang Bai absorbed half, it would greatly boost his cultivation level.

Fortunately, Fang Bai possessed the rarely seen Chaos True Body, a special constitution capable of rapidly absorbing the spiritual energy released from the golden core without any harm.

If other martial artists tried to absorb such a vast amount of spiritual energy like Fang Bai, their Qi Sea would burst from the sudden influx, ending with their bodies shattered.

Therefore, other martial artists, if fortuitously acquiring a golden core, would only dare to absorb its spiritual energy slowly and carefully, unlike Fang Bai’s whale-like absorption.

Even so, if ordinary martial artists could absorb ten to twenty percent of the spiritual energy within a golden core, their martial dao cultivation would soar like a rocket.

As time progressed, more Wood Spirit Qi poured into Fang Bai’s Qi Sea from the golden core, while some spiritual energy scattered into the atmosphere, causing the originally radiant golden core to gradually dim.

"What bliss!"

The unprecedented influx of Wood Spirit Qi into the Qi Sea not only posed no discomfort to Fang Bai but instead made him feel every cell in his body brimming with vitality, like rebirth, an indescribable comfort. noveldrama

As the Wood Spirit Qi continued to be drawn away or scattered into the atmosphere, the golden core in Fang Bai’s palm shrank, its light weakening until it disappeared after a hundred breaths.

Absorbing the spiritual energy within the golden core doesn’t mean the task is accomplished, nor does it mean immediate quick advancement in cultivation.

In fact, this is only the beginning.

"Whew..."

Fang Bai exhaled a light breath, opened his eyes briefly, then slowly closed them again, his body remaining motionless.

Fang Bai knew that the substantial Wood Spirit Qi filling his Qi Sea needed continuous "purification and refinement" to eventually become the purest Wood Spirit Qi and merge with the Chaos Origin Energy in his Qi Sea for his use.

This "purification and refinement" process equates to a closed-door cultivation session, impossible to complete in a short time, requiring at least three to five days.

Fang Bai wasn’t worried about being disturbed during cultivation.

The defensive formation he set at the cave entrance previously ensures even perfected Foundation Establishment Realm spirit beasts cannot break in.

"I wonder if Senior Sister Sun and the others might think, upon waking and not finding me, that like those hundreds of martial artists, I’ve vanished under the golden core’s power?"

Fang Bai suddenly thought of Sun Lin, Shi Ming, and others, wondering how they’d feel upon waking and discovering he’s missing.

Perhaps they would merely feel slightly saddened, then return together to Lingxu Palace to report the matter to the high authorities, each resuming normal life?

After all, in this world where survival of the fittest reigns supreme, the life and death of martial artists is all too common and hardly surprising.

Only those tied by blood, or deeply bonded martial dao companions, would grieve profoundly for the loss of a loved one or partner, perhaps for a lifetime.

Focusing his mind and abandoning distractions, Fang Bai began entering his cultivation state, immersing himself in refining the boundless, ocean-like Wood Spirit Qi in his Qi Sea.

Fang Bai couldn’t predict to which level his cultivation might advance after refining the golden core’s spiritual energy from the Green Tail Wolf, yet succeeding in Foundation Establishment was indeed certain.

Once a martial artist succeeds in Foundation Establishment, they transcend ordinary martial dao cultivation and embark on the long journey of martial to immortality.

For Fang Bai, his mind holds a vast array of powerful secret techniques and profound methods from his previous life. As soon as Foundation Establishment succeeds, he can begin to wield some of these methods, ensuring he has the power to face even the strongest Foundation Establishment Realm adversaries.
