Chapter 543: Giving Up

to devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, ensuring he broke through to the mid-Core Formation stage before the Qisha Hall opened.If one were to return to the Inner Sea without a purpose, search...Here's the main event.

No matter how powerful external aids are, they are ultimately just external.

Only by oneself forming the Golden Core can one truly take this step on the immortal path.

We can verify the truth of the experiences left by those predecessors right away.

At that moment, Qin Sang suddenly got up and left the cave abode. He first sent a message to Yun Youzi to assure him of his safety, saying that he might have to stay in seclusion for a few more days. Then, after searching deep in the mountains, he finally found a spiritual vein.

When the alchemy is complete, heaven and earth come together, wind and clouds converge, attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to flow into the body.

Other cultivators, when衝擊結丹, were all looking for caves with abundant spiritual energy, hoping to increase their success rate. Qin Sang was afraid of missing the opportunity and didn't have time to search carefully.

Although this cave dwelling is not as good as his own Lingquan Cave, it can be used. If the pill is truly successfully made, it will be more than enough to use for body cultivation and will not affect the effect of body cultivation.

Qin Sang has already confirmed that there are no large monsters in this mountain range, so he is not afraid that the alchemy tribulation will attract trouble.

The spiritual veins are not obvious and the range is small, but the spiritual energy is quite rich.

Qin Sang drove out the demonic beasts from the mountains and seized the best cave on the spiritual vein. He beat a black bear, a common demon at its peak, who was living in the cave.

Sweeping out the stench from the cave dwelling, setting up a protective barrier, and adding another layer of gathering spirit array, Qin Sang sat cross-legged on the ground, fully running his cultivation technique.

After a while, the qi sea finally filled up and returned to its peak.

In the cave, because of the gathering spirit array's existence, spiritual energy was extremely concentrated. At the moment when Qin Sang recovered to his full strength, a peculiar ripple suddenly appeared in the cave's spiritual energy.

Meanwhile, the sun was shining brightly outside the cave, with clear skies for miles.

At this moment, the sky on top of the mountain suddenly darkened. Several dark clouds drifted over from somewhere unknown. Then, a strong wind arose, quickly turning into a raging gale. The grass and trees bowed down, and dead leaves flew everywhere.

The nearby beasts were startled by the sudden apparition, sensing an unusual aura and filled with terror. They scrambled to flee outside the mountains.

This mountain is surrounded by deep mountains, where many uncivilized beasts live. By chance, some have developed a bit of intelligence. They instinctively absorb the essence of sun and moon, beginning to transform into demon beasts. They are very sensitive to changes in spiritual energy.

Each of them stood up individually and looked towards that mountain. Though they didn't understand the reason for this phenomenon, a strange feeling of envy arose in their hearts.

Let them scratch their heads in bewilderment.

“Huh”

Qin Sang was unaware of the changes outside. He was completely focused on himself, and suddenly let out a soft exclamation of surprise. He hadn't expected this to happen at all.

After regaining his former glory, he thought he would have to retreat for a period of time to practice in seclusion and carefully contemplate before gaining any insights.

To my surprise, the signs of Jie Dan appeared immediately.

This feeling, as if it were inevitable.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

As long as you are willing, it can be done with ease!

I still remember what the predecessors wrote in their books, saying that when forming a Golden Pill, one cannot be even slightly lax. It requires careful understanding and seizing the fleeting moment to truly succeed in forming the Golden Pill.

Qin Sang didn't know whether it was the Jade Buddha stabilizing his heart, or the reason for the method of condensing evil and refining gang qi, or his own accumulation was too deep, or a combination of all three.

It turned out that getting the knot tied was much easier than I imagined!

Seeing this scene, Qin Sang had no more hesitation. Without a moment's thought, he discarded all extraneous thoughts, embraced the Xuan and guarded the One, and struck at the Dan formation!

When minds are united, spiritual energy spins wildly within the dantian.

Beyond the mountains, changes grew increasingly drastic.

The clouds were dark and heavy, gathering more and more. They seemed poised to engulf the entire mountain range and surrounding area at any moment. Within the oppressive darkness of the clouds, streaks of silver shimmered faintly. The rumbling thunder grew louder and clearer with each passing second.

A fierce wind howled through the mountains, sending sand and stones flying.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the mountains was drawn by this qi, converging towards the location of the cave dwelling. With the cave dwelling as its center, a rudimentary funnel shape began to appear, visible even to the naked eye.

As the celestial phenomena accumulated to a certain extent, the true spectacle of the alchemy pill formation was about to appear.

Suddenly, the wind and clouds dispersed, and the lightning vanished.

The funnel appeared with cracks, then suddenly shattered, and spiritual energy dissipated.

In an instant, heaven and earth returned to stillness. The blazing sun bathed this mountain range, dispelling all gloom. The previous visions seemed as if they had never existed.

In the cave, Qin Sang clutched his dantian with both hands, his face flushed red, gasping for breath. In the depths of his eyes, there was still a trace of hesitation and determination.

"If others knew that someone had voluntarily given up on forming a golden core, they would surely call them an idiot, right"

Qin Sang calmed her breath and muttered to herself.

Jie Dan didn't fail, he actually chose to stop it himself!

"My spiritual energy hasn't returned, and the opportunity is still there. I can form my core at any time in the future. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to resist this temptation..."

Qin Sang smiled wryly, lowering his head to look at his dantian. Fortunately, he had made up his mind quickly. As soon as the signs appeared, he forcibly stopped refining the pill and prevented himself from being injured.

That was because at the very last moment, Qin Sang realized—his foundation's hidden injury had been misidentified for a golden core!

It wasn't that the master of Yun Youzi was wrong.

The foundation is damaged, but it does not hinder the process of forming the elixir. Qin Sang's process of forming the elixir went very smoothly.

However, Qin Sang realized just as he was about to begin forming his Golden Core that if he formed it with a damaged foundation, the resulting Golden Core would also be affected.

Do you still remember what the Cloud Wanderer once said

The two characters "Jindan"

Gold is a strong and everlasting thing that cannot be destroyed; vermilion is a perfect, pure, and flawless thing.

Qin Sang's nascent soul, formed from the golden elixir, would be flawed due to an incomplete foundation and a deficient dantian. It would resemble the state of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, naturally falling short of cultivators of the same realm.

Now Qin Sang only realized that if the damage to his foundation was not healed, it would continue to affect him. And this influence would accompany his cultivation progress, becoming bigger and more obvious!

As the saying goes, there are no regrets for a golden elixir.

Once this flawed elixir is formed, it will be even harder to make up for than repairing the foundation. Qin Sang couldn't even be sure what effect the Crimson Cloud Purple Fruit would have now.

That is exactly why.

At the last moment, Qin Sang resolutely made a move that left countless cultivators dumbfounded. He resisted the overwhelming temptation and proactively interrupted his alchemy process.

If there were no news of the Zijin Purple Fruit now, he might still hesitate. But now it's different, the Zijin Purple Fruit is in the Ziwu Palace, and he can enter within these two years.

He has external alchemy, flying sky demons, virtual heavenly thunder, and magical treasures...

He possesses great skill, and even without forming a golden core, he is not afraid of confronting cultivators at the Core Formation stage.

Moreover, his apparent cultivation was only at the level of a False Dan realm. It's possible he could be underestimated and have an opportunity to take advantage of this by pretending to be weak.

However, these are not the main reasons.

After the transformation of spiritual power, it was very stable. Forming a golden elixir for Qin Sang was just like his usual cultivation, a natural progression.

Where the heart goes, that is where the dan (color/essence) is formed.

As long as Qin Sang is willing, she can strike the nascent soul formation at any time.

Even in the Purple Micro Palace, it's not a barren wasteland of spiritual energy.

If so, why risk the possibility of the crimson clouds and purple fruit being ineffective, just to gain a year or twoip is with the Tian Shi Zong, Qin Sang couldn't guess. He could only go there in person to find out.After much deliberation, Qin Sang decided to go to the image annotation location himself.He and Tan...
