Chapter 543: 166 Seven Turns Golden Core, Can Still Live for a Thousand Years_1
The secret territory of the Falling Moon Alliance Cave Revealing Cove.

The cave mansion at the summit of the Green Moon Peak.

Su Yu took out the Cyan Wood Ring, tidied up Body Puppet Daozi’s loot from the journey to the Sangmu Mansion and the conquest of Huang Ling Island – a variety of rank-three talisman materials, spiritual ore materials, as well as the rank-three talismans regularly drawn by Body Puppet Daozi.

Currently, Su Yu himself has only amassed less than four hundred batches of high-quality rank-three talismans.

The material for the Talisman of Substitution was rather unique, requiring the skin and essence blood of magical beasts to produce the talisman paper and ink. The requirements were high, and the drawing was extremely difficult.

In Su Yu’s hands, there were only nine high-quality rank-three substitution talismans.

Another type of attack talisman, the Seven Mystical Sword Talisman, was easier to draw. At present, Su Yu had more than a hundred of them, with over forty of them being of excellent quality.

The power of each top-quality Seven Mystical Sword Talisman was almost equivalent to that of the ninth stage of Core Formation Realm.

Compared to Su Yu himself, Body Puppet Daozi had even more talismans, mainly because the puppet didn’t need to retreat for cultivation. It only retreated for refining and assimilating the essence of gathered spiritual ore materials to repair itself.

Normally, it could use its time to draw talismans.

So after some thought, Su Yu took out nearly four hundred batches of high-quality rank-three talisman materials from the Cyan Wood Ring, as well as some spiritual ores capable of creating formation bases.

“Not sure when the Taixu Alliance Hierarch and the people from Xuantian Immortal Gate and Qingxuan Immortal Gate will return or if they will take action against the Great Moon Mansion—”

Su Yu speculated to himself, “In the next period, apart from regular cultivation and refining the Golden Core, I should focus on drawing talismans to continue improving my proficiency in making various high-quality rank-three talismans.”

This time, even if he stayed for ten years, it would be fine.

He had already reported in advance to the Hall of Affairs in the Immortal Gate, so it wasn’t a problem to make up his regular duties when he returned.

Remaining in the fourth-rank secret realm of Falling Moon Alliance with its rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth wouldn’t hinder his personal cultivation.

Once he finished organizing Body Puppet Daozi’s loot, Su Yu took out ten drops of Heaven Spinal Soul Liquid from the Cyan Moon Ring and handed it over to Body Puppet Daozi. The liquid had minimal impact on the puppet, but it should be somewhat useful for the soul puppet.

If the soul puppet could enhance its strength and reach the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm,

His solid foundation would experience another leap in quality.

Letting Body Puppet Daozi retreat to the side of the cave mansion to refine the Heaven Spinal Soul Liquid, Su Yu also sat on the jade bed, starting his usual daily cultivation.

“In terms of the Five Elements Method, I have now comprehended cultivation techniques at the eighth layer of the Core Formation Realm and have some understanding of the ninth layer,” Su Yu’s mind operated the Golden Cicada Technique, and instantly, his spirit became clear. His thoughts seemed to speed up, producing a stream of fast-paced tangible lines of thinking.

“Using the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law to comprehend the Dao of Five Elements, also deepened my understanding of the Five Elements Method. The current Five Elements Method is probably more than twice as strong as when I went to the Earth Immortal Mansion.”

“But—”

Su Yu frowned and pondered, “My Golden Core refining seems to be increasingly strenuous, and my understanding of the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law seems to be reaching a limit.”

He introspected his dantian and looked at the shining golden pill permeated with a vast immortal breath.

It was deeply marked with six lores.

Each lore exuded an indescribable feel of Dao rhythms.

Like bridges, they seemed to connect Su Yu to the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, there was a seventh lore, like a phantom atop the Golden Core.

But compared to the previous refining, Su Yu clearly felt a ‘resistance’ when it came to the seventh lore.

This resistance came from himself.

Like his spiritual root talent and perception, etc.

The cultivation world was realistic and brutal; there was no so-called fairness. Almost from the moment everyone was born, their future and fate were already determined.

For example, if someone was born without a spiritual root, they were essentially destined to be a mortal.

If someone were born with only a low-grade spiritual root, they would most likely only reach the Qi Refinement Realm in their lifetime.

Foundation Establishment would be hard.

Then there were those born with ancient bloodlines, spiritual bodies, even Dao bodies. These favored by nature had accumulated fortune and had the makings of becoming immortals.

Like the Jie Tian Daozi of the Earth Immortal Mansion in the Ancient Era and Ma Tianling with her spiritual body.

The favorites of the heavens were different from the moment they were born.

Currently, Su Yu himself, after several transmutations, finally had a five-element top-grade spiritual root. However, apart from the five-element top-grade spiritual root, his other innate talents weren’t special.

He didn’t have a spiritual body or a Dao body; he was ordinary and unremarkable.

What he could rely on was only a proficiency panel.

His natural talent and perception were limited.

Thinking, Su Yu unfurrowed his brow, heaving a slight sigh: “Forget it, keep cultivating methodically. Gathering proficiency bit by bit to improve. When the proficiency reaches a certain level, I should be able to comprehend what I need to learn.”

If his talent and perception weren’t enough, then he’d make up for it with proficiency.

When the proficiency is reached, he can ‘reverse engineer’ it and understand everything naturally.

And it doesn’t take brainwork.

Thinking this way, Su Yu emptied his mind, thought nothing, he only operated the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law to refine the Golden Core. After improving his proficiency in the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law, he shifted to cultivating the Five Elements Method and the Heavenly Immortal Body Refinement Technique.
