Chapter 326 - 144: The Sect’s Mascot, Mid-Stage Golden Core Breakthrough, A One-for-One Exchange Above the Nascent Soul! (8k combined chapter seeking monthly votes) 3
But Liang Sheng had no opinion on this, continuing the duty of refining pills within his church with full dedication.
At this moment, when faced with the improved alchemy skills of the Hua Tian Sect’s alchemists, Liang Sheng had to be serious and brought out thirty percent of his alchemy strength to instruct them.
As such, the expression in the eyes of Hua Tian Sect’s alchemists when they looked at Liang Sheng was filled with endless admiration.
Who would have thought that a Foundation Establishment alchemist from Dan Ding Sect would have such earth-shattering skills? Just how superior then would the skills of the Golden Core Daoist from the Dan Ding Sect be?
Unfortunately, perhaps because the gap between both sides was too wide, the alchemists who had previously gone to learn at the Welcoming Guest Peak in Dan Ding Sect had not gained much from the Golden Core Daoist.
It seems that if they have the chance to study in Dan Ding Sect again in the future, it would be better to directly request to learn from a Foundation Establishment alchemist.
Of course, the prerequisite would be that the person is not a faux alchemist, as their previous senior brothers had been taken advantage of before.
How they truly wished that Fellow Daoist Yang Cheng could keep instructing them!
In a blink of an eye, twenty-nine years had passed, signifying that soon, Liang Sheng would finally complete his mission to return to the Dan Ding Sect.
However, this time, Liang Sheng had postponed his return, as he was about to have a breakthrough soon.
It was a matter of unfortunate timing.
Liang Sheng hadn’t anticipated that his progress would be so immense after he consistently took Golden Yuan Pills and secretly utilized the aura of the Nascent Soul Pill for his cultivation.
It was only a hundred years, yet he was about to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core. This was an inconceivable surprise.
Cultivation with the Talent of Innocent Foolishness was extremely slow, but it was hard to resist the effects of regularly using the Golden Yuan Pill for cultivation, not to mention the Nascent Soul Pill.
Who in the Desolate Regions would have such luxurious treatment?
Thus, at the time when Liang Sheng was supposed to satisfactorily complete his mission, he had to postpone his return to his sect, deciding to stay in the Hua Tian Sect for the breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Golden Core.
Of course, in the eyes of the Hua Tian Sect, it was perceived that Fellow Daoist Yang Cheng had a deep fortune, as he was about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
With this, faced with such circumstances, the Hua Tian Sect would naturally not refuse but instead fully support Liang Sheng.
The spiritual energy density in Liang Sheng’s Cave Mansion increased further, demonstrating the Hua Tian Sect’s exceptional treatment towards him.
However, where Liang Sheng’s temporary Cave Mansion was situated, spiritual energy was naturally concentrated, thus many of the Hua Tian Sect’s cultivators would choose to cultivate at this main peak during their period of closed-door cultivation.
Liang Sheng was still cautious during his period of closed-door cultivation this time, setting up layered arrays at the earliest convenience, ensuring that his breakthrough would not cause a large disturbance, before stopping these supportive measures.
Since all measures were put in place, what followed was naturally full-fledged cultivation. He wondered just how strong he would become at the mid-stage of the Golden Core?
Following this, Liang Sheng’s whole body fell into silence, calming all emotions, consuming a Golden Yuan Pill, after which internal Primordial Mysterious Technique began to operate wildly.
It was a good thing that Liang Sheng made prior arrangements; he immediately used about ten top-grade spirit stones to lay down the foundation of the Gathering Spirit Array.
If not, this wild operation of his techniques would have caused the spiritual power from the exterior world to violently enter his body like a riot.
But now due to the Gathering Spirit Array, set with about ten top-grade spirit stones, while the outside world was calm, it felt like spiritual tides were surging within his dwelling.
A breakthrough to the “mid-stage of the Golden Core” using a Gathering Spirit Array established with top-grade spirit stones was probably a first in the Desolate Regions.
After all, even Golden Core Daoists probably wouldn’t have many top-grade spirit stones on them. It could only be said to be extremely extravagant.
But it was indeed worth it. Liang Sheng didn’t care about the dozen or so top-grade spirit stones. His complete body, at this moment, from the inside to the outside, was emitting a faint golden light.
From within his internal organs, even more, golden blood interwove, Refining Qi had finally reached the Organs Stage.
Even when in the midst of cultivation, he could feel his body becoming stronger, his skin even began to shine with a golden light.
His appearance now reminded him of the statues of gods he had seen before, the whole body shining with golden light, displaying extraordinary valiance!
Just at this moment, a sudden turmoil within his body started. Before Liang Sheng could even react, a unique type of Qi emanated from various points in his body, and then congregated.
Once there was not a single strand of Qi left in his body’s arteries, between the illusory Qi there seemed to be a crackling sound like a shell breaking.
The Qi leaked out.
Although it was just for an instant, Liang Sheng was still given a great startle. He hadn’t expected that this unique Qi could break through the arrays he had laid out.
No doubt, those perceptive Golden Core Daoists of the Hua Tian Sect must have noticed the unusual Qi outside of his Cave Mansion just now.
Disastrous!
But Liang Sheng dared not to think too much about it. Regardless of all, the first priority was to make a breakthrough, he had no complaints regarding this situation.
Because this unique aura was the Nascent Soul Pill’s aura that he had absorbed previously, and which had finally precipitated inside his body after some time. He was not sure if it appeared because he had reached the quantitative change, or because he had a breakthrough in his realm, hence caused this special effect.
However, Liang Sheng genuinely did not have the time to consider these matters, as after that crackling sound just now, his body seemed to be undergoing a “Shell-changing”.
Of course, it was not really a physical shell being shed and replaced, rather, it was a feeling of his entire body being cleansed from the inside out.
Liang Sheng was obviously already extremely powerful and there was no filth in his body before, but he just felt a sudden release throughout his body.
Following that, his body, it could be said, took its natural course. After the successful operation of the Primordial Mysterious Technique through his body, his body’s Qi and blood circulated like a bubbling clear spring in a mountain.
Indeed, it was the Dao following a natural course!
