Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"Suck!"

Zhang Yan suddenly inhaled.

Suddenly.

A massive spiritual energy storm formed between heaven and earth.

A large amount of spiritual energy was gathered and entered his body through the pores of his entire body.

As he absorbed more and more spiritual energy.

More and more vortices appeared in the sky.

The spiritual energy absorbed increased more and more, and eventually, the dense spiritual energy even became a tangible entity.

"what's the situation?"

The cultivators responsible for guarding this place immediately went up into the sky to observe.

"Um?

"Is this a successful Core Formation, absorbing spiritual energy?"

The man saw the vortex and his face immediately showed a look of shock.

He is able to guard this place because his cultivation level is also at the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, he found this vortex of spiritual energy very familiar.

but……

That's why it looks familiar.

That's because when he was in the Golden Core stage, the vortex he created was only the size of a palm.

Moreover, it lasts for a very short time.

The vortex in front of us looks like it, but it's just too big.

Some even resemble those in the Nascent Soul stage...

However, if he remembered correctly, Nascent Soul cultivators generally did not come here for seclusion.

There will be no vortex.

Therefore, it can only be the Golden Elixir.

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

Just as he was having some doubts.

Suddenly, I felt that the spiritual energy within my body was somewhat unstable.

The spiritual energy within him actually tried to break free of his body and merge into that vortex.

"No, aren't we the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

How can someone cultivate a demonic art that can steal the cultivation of others?

now.

He was completely dumbfounded.

This person who is currently in seclusion is really acting strangely.

It was fine when Gu Jingsong delivered it first.

The Golden Core cultivator now possesses such a powerful spiritual energy vortex.

the most important is.

The magical power within him was out of his control.

Although his magic power stabilized after he restrained it, it no longer went berserk.

But he could sense it.

The magical power within him was still somewhat volatile.

just like……

He finally managed to get married.

I want to go out and spend the night all day.

Now that we've finally managed to keep them here, we're still on tenterhooks.

Because the other person is not on your side at all.

Think about it this way.

It's really an exaggeration.

"Let's notify Elder Gu Jingsong first." The man's expression was rather grim.

Then I wanted to send a message to Gu Jingsong.

But the information has not yet been sent out.

Gu Jingsong had already arrived.

"How about it?
Is it him?
"Success?"

Gu Jinsong has not yet arrived.

But they couldn't wait to ask.

"It's him. He has successfully formed his core."

But I feel that his Core Formation process is a bit strange, different from ordinary people.

Jin Dan saw that Gu Jingsong was in such a hurry.

After hesitating for a moment, he voiced his guess.

There's something off about this guy in here.

It's as if he's practiced demonic arts.

He even suspected that the people inside might not be at the Golden Core stage.

Instead, it's the Nascent Soul stage cultivators who come here to absorb their spiritual energy.

Gu Jingsong heard the other party's guess.

Suddenly he laughed.

"Alright, alright, you can go back now."

The reason your Golden Core stage is different from his is because...

You're terrible.

To put it bluntly, your Golden Core is the worst kind of Golden Core, while his Golden Core is a Nine-Aperture Golden Core. Moreover, this is because the best Golden Core is the Nine-Aperture Golden Core.

Do you understand?

Gu Jingsong looked at the other person and asked softly.

"I……"

The man opened his mouth as if to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

He simply couldn't refute it.

Although he understood that the other person was saying he wasn't qualified.

but……

That's absolutely true.

Moreover, the other party is a powerful figure in the Nascent Soul stage.

If he wants to talk, then let him talk...

And this time.

Zhang Yan's absorption of spiritual energy was not yet over.

Instead, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed somewhat insufficient.

"joke……

The amount of spiritual energy here is enough to support a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

How could he not have enough?

See here.

That Golden Core cultivator was truly bewildered.

Is the other party really a Golden Core cultivator?

Just formed the Core Formation?

Early stage of Golden Core?

This is too outrageous!

"If the spiritual energy is insufficient, then release more spiritual energy." Gu Jingsong was not surprised but delighted to see this.

He didn't care about any of that.

They didn't want to know why Zhang Yan was able to absorb so much spiritual energy.

for him.

The more spiritual energy Zhang Yan absorbed, the more solid the opponent's cultivation was.

The stronger they are, the greater their strength becomes.

And the same.

If you want to pass the review then, it will be much easier.

They could even achieve a better ranking.

Although I absorbed quite a lot of spiritual energy.

But it doesn't matter.

The Heavenly Dao Sect has nothing.

It has a lot of spiritual energy.

After all, the Heavenly Dao Sect occupies the most powerful spiritual vein in the entire Central Plains.

However, the spiritual energy within this spiritual vein is usually used by cultivators at the Dharma Aspect Realm and True Self Realm.

Only those at the Nascent Soul stage can use it.

Although the Golden Core stage is somewhat stronger than the spiritual veins outside.

But it's also limited.

However, since Zhang Yan needs spiritual energy to form his core, Gu Jingsong directly activated his permissions, allowing Zhang Yan to desperately absorb spiritual energy.

Although cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, Dharma Aspect realm, and True Self realm need a large amount of spiritual energy to power themselves every day.

But it doesn't matter if Zhang Yan absorbs a little bit.

As a result, with the influx of spiritual energy, the vortex on Zhang Yan's side grew larger and larger.

It even attracted the attention of several people.

But they only paid attention to it briefly.

Upon seeing Gu Jingsong there, they wisely left.

Although I don't know what's inside.

However, Gu Jinsong represents Gu Taixuan.

It represents the realm of Dharma.

This is not someone an ordinary cultivator can afford to offend.

even……

Even cultivators at the Dharma Aspect Realm wouldn't go against Gu Jinsong.

As more and more spiritual energy was absorbed by Zhang Yan.

A strange look appeared on Gu Jingsong's face.

The amount of spiritual energy Zhang Yan absorbed...

It's so scary.

He just did the calculations.

In just a short while, the opponent absorbed the combined power of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

This is not normal at all.

It far exceeded the amount that should have been.

"Could something really have gone wrong?" came a subconscious thought.

He wanted to go in and see Zhang Yan.

But this is the time.

The vortex of spiritual energy came to an abrupt halt.

Then a terrifying aura emanated from within.

Although he was only at the Golden Core stage.

But the fluctuations in that magical power were terrifying.

Then they saw Zhang Yan walk out from inside, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

He was radiant and handsome. The loose-fitting Taoist robe he wore further accentuated his unique temperament.

"Elder Gu." Upon seeing Gu Jingsong, Zhang Yan greeted him calmly.

"You successfully formed your core?"

Gu Jingsong took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions and asked him.

"Success."

Zhang Yan spoke calmly. "Alright!"

OK!

That's really great!

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Gu Jingsong couldn't help but shout his approval.

Although they already knew that Zhang Yan had successfully formed his core.

But now I'm hearing the other party admit it themselves.

He still couldn't hide his excitement.

His biggest fear was that Zhang Yan would fail to form his core.

After all, what if the other party fails to form their core?

Then all their previous plans would have been in vain.

Unless we wait for the next assessment.

It's not impossible.

……

But Gu Taixuan couldn't wait any longer.

Gu Taixuan has been trapped in the Dharma Realm for a very, very long time.

When he was still a child, the other party was already at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

He is now at the Nascent Soul stage.

He is still in the Dharma Realm.

Although the lifespan of the Dharma Realm is very long.

However, one should always start cultivating one's skills as early as possible.

The earlier you start, the greater your chances of reaching higher levels.

Therefore, Zhang Yan was able to pass the assessment this time.

If we delay, something might happen.

and……

the most important is.

This time, they were trying to help Zhang Yan achieve the Golden Core stage.

It can be said that quite a lot of blood was shed.

If Zhang Yan fails this time, then there may not be such good spiritual materials next time.

That would inevitably affect the quality of Zhang Yan's core formation.

And combat strength.

This is unacceptable to them.

However, now with Zhang Yan's successful formation of the Golden Core...

All my previous worries have been resolved.

There's nothing to worry about.

Now all we need to do is equip Zhang Yan with a magic weapon.

"Do you need to familiarize yourself with the Golden Core stage first?"

"Or should I take you to choose a few magical treasures first?" Gu Jingsong asked Zhang Yan.

"I need to consolidate my cultivation level first." Although I really coveted the magic weapon.

However, Zhang Yan also knew that those magical treasures couldn't escape.

His most important task now is to consolidate his own realm.

Then we should carefully consider how to choose the magic weapon.

after all……

This is a rare opportunity to get something for free.

He must cherish it.

If we don't make a good choice this time.

If he chooses again, he'll have to pay a huge amount of spirit stones...

And he...

There really aren't many spirit stones to squander.

"Alright, since that's the case, then you should first consolidate your cultivation level before choosing a magic weapon."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely give you the best when it comes to magical artifacts." Gu Jingsong patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder and said to him.

"Yes, I believe you." Zhang Yan nodded.

Then they returned to their residence at the Zaitiandao Sect.

Once inside.

He then sat cross-legged on the prayer mat.

Then I began to properly consolidate my cultivation.

Actually, in terms of magical power...

He did not make any mistakes.

What he actually needs to solidify is the essence of Taoism.

Yes.

When he broke through to the Golden Core stage.

All his supernatural abilities were enhanced, and they began to show a trace of Daoist principles.

However, they are all very weak.

It's not even at the beginner level.

Cultivators at the Golden Core stage need to constantly comprehend the Daoist principles and then enhance their magical power.

In the end, one achieves the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, understanding the essence of Daoist philosophy is of utmost importance.

The reason he chose this time to contemplate this is because...

It was because he had some ideas when he first became a Golden Core cultivator.

I felt a certain resonance with my own supernatural powers.

Now the Golden Elixir has finally been achieved.

Then he would naturally want to study it carefully.

……

It turns out.

Comprehension of the Dao is far more difficult than supernatural powers.

It took Zhang Yan a full year to barely grasp the basics of these Daoist principles.

"It's still a little slow!"

He sighed.

This method of understanding is still too slow.

We still need a lot of second-hand magic weapons.

Only if you have enough magic weapons.

Only then could he quickly cultivate these Daoist principles to a high level, or even to perfection.

He knew it perfectly well.

When he took the assessment, his cultivation level was unlikely to be very high.

However, in terms of Taoist charm.

He could actually have the upper hand.

As long as he can obtain the magic weapon, that's fine.

And in fact.

The main reason why he is so powerful is that his understanding of supernatural abilities far surpasses that of other cultivators of the same level.

That's his strength.

Think of this.

He also stopped going into seclusion.

We exited customs directly.

Then they found the ancient pine tree.

"how?

Is your seclusion over?
"Has your cultivation stabilized?" Gu Jingsong greeted Zhang Yan with a friendly smile.

"My cultivation level has long been stable, and I have also mastered the Daoist principles of my supernatural powers."

"I've come to you now to discuss the matter of magic weapons." Zhang Yan smiled and said to Gu Jingsong.

"Yes, it's good that your cultivation level has stabilized."

Ok?
what did you say?
"You've even grasped the basics of Daoist principles?"

Gu Jingsong looked at Zhang Yan as if he were a monster when he heard his words.

This is too exaggerated.

Is this all there is to it?
For a normal Golden Core cultivator, it takes several decades to even begin to grasp the Daoist principles.

and……

the most important is……

Others don't know.

But little did he know that Zhang Yan possessed dozens of supernatural abilities!
Judging from what the other party said, they had already grasped the basics of all the Daoist principles.

This terrifying talent...

This terrifying level of understanding.

Although I already knew that the other party's talent was terrifying.

But that's the case.

He was still deeply impressed by Zhang Yan.

What the hell.

They're not even human.

"So you're here to choose a magic weapon?" Gu Jingsong asked Zhang Yan with a smile.

“Yes, I want some magical artifacts.”

but……

"I have a condition, I don't know if you can agree to it." Zhang Yan thought for a moment and then spoke to Gu Jingsong.

"Conditions?" Gu Jingsong frowned, his gaze towards Zhang Yan turning cold.

In his mind.

Their relationship with Zhang Yan is actually a win-win situation.

But in reality, they have already helped Zhang Yan many times.

Now that it was time to choose a magic weapon, he made another request.

This was something he found hard to accept.

But he still spoke quietly: "What conditions do you want?"

Gu Jingsong felt that Zhang Yan was about to ask for an exorbitant amount.

"Here's the thing, I think you can give me some secondhand magic weapons."

As long as it works, that's fine.

No need for particularly powerful magical artifacts.

Zhang Yan said to Gu Jingsong without hesitation.

"What did you say?"

Gu Jingsong was stunned when he heard Zhang Yan's words.

This is not what he imagined.

He thought Zhang Yan would ask for an exorbitant amount.

They demanded all sorts of magical treasures.

But he never expected that Zhang Yan would make such a simple request.

He was even acting entirely for the sake of the Heavenly Dao Sect and for his own benefit!
He actually judged a gentleman by the standards of a petty person.

hateful.

I'm such a beast.

So he said seriously, "What are you saying!"

How could we possibly give you a secondhand magic weapon?

Don't worry, the magic weapon we give you will definitely be brand new!
Customization is even available if needed!

Gu Jingsong glanced at Zhang Yan as he spoke, secretly chuckling to himself, "How about that? Touched or not!" (End of Chapter)
