89: Danjie Materials

Liu Tianfeng's Silver Sparrow City is located in the southwest of the Demon Spirit Continent, backed by the Red Lotus Mountain Range. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one route leading to other cities. Being close to the mountains has its advantages; some Mortal Martial Artists or Cultivators in Silver Sparrow City can enter the mountains to hunt fierce beasts or even low-level Yao Beasts.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. If a Yao Beast tide erupts in the Red Lotus Mountain Range, Silver Sparrow City is very likely to be massacred by Yao Beasts. The Human Race struggles to survive on the Demon Spirit Continent. Silver Sparrow City has been destroyed several times in history, but the Human Race has not fallen. They have repeatedly reclaimed the land, determined to survive on this continent.

The Cultivators here do not know that there are other continents in the outside world, just like Lin Feng initially, who only thought that the continent he was on was the only continent in this world.

However, the Human Race here has a different perspective from the Cultivation World where Lin Feng was. The Human Race here believes that they are a branch of the Yao Race, just like the Yao Race of the Demon Spirit Continent. It's just that their Human Race is special; although they are born physically weak, the Human Race is naturally intelligent.

They can create various tools and methods to compensate for their shortcomings and contend with the Yao Race for a place on this continent.

The Human Race's ability to occupy so much land on this continent already makes them one of the top races here. The only drawback for the Human Race on this continent is the lack of top-tier powerhouses to guard them, which is why some Human Race cities are frequently harassed by the Yao Race.

Lin Feng stayed in Silver Sparrow City for a while and found that the Martial Artists in this city were much stronger than those in the Cultivation World he came from. Although the Martial Artists here cannot fly or escape like Cultivators, some powerful Martial Artists can hone themselves to possess a strong physique, allowing them to contend with some Qi Refining Cultivators.

Lin Feng holds the status of a Guest Elder here. He does not participate in city management on a daily basis. The city provides for Foundation Establishment cultivators like him. Foundation Establishment cultivators here not only hold a high status but are also seen as god-like figures by the Mortals. Because Lin Feng and his peers enjoy this support, they are required to defend the city with their powerful cultivation when it faces a Yao Beast attack.

Lin Feng's displayed cultivation here is that of an Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. The reason for this is that Lin Feng has visited several cities on this continent and found that while Qi Refining Cultivators hold a respected position, they still have to complete some tasks if they join a city. Only Foundation Establishment cultivators can live relatively freely.

Lin Feng's life in Silver Sparrow City gradually settled into a routine. Every day, besides Cultivating the Five Elements Star Scripture, he would also guide Li Xuan in Cultivating the Flame Sun Blaze Art. Although Li Xuan has good Aptitude, he is, after all, new to the path of Cultivation, and many areas require Lin Feng's guidance.

As time passed, Li Xuan's cultivation also made significant progress. Lin Feng cultivated Li Xuan because, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he naturally couldn't handle everything himself, even though he had some matters to attend to. He needed some capable subordinates to help him.

After observing Li Xuan for a period, Lin Feng trusted his character. Therefore, he cultivated him on one hand and made Li Xuan his right-hand man on the other, so he wouldn't have to rush around as much.

Silver Sparrow City has an advantage over the Cultivation World Lin Feng was in before: the Spirit Medicine and Yao Beast Materials here are much richer than those in Great Xin and Zheng Country, where he previously resided.

Lin Feng, who was already at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, inquired about how Cultivators here achieve Core Formation. Especially since Liu Tianfeng, as the City Lord of Silver Sparrow City, is also a Early stage Golden Core Cultivator, his experience with Core Formation is naturally much richer than Lin Feng's. Lin Feng decided to find a suitable opportunity to consult Liu Tianfeng about Core Formation matters.

One day, while Lin Feng was strolling in the city, he happened to encounter Liu Tianfeng. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Feng straightforwardly brought up the questions he wanted to ask. Hearing this, Liu Tianfeng laughed heartily and said, "Elder Lin, you are too polite. We are both Human Race Cultivators; it is only right that we help each other."

The two sat down in a restaurant owned by the City Lord. Lin Feng hosted this Senior Liu Tianfeng. After they were seated, Lin Feng went straight to the point and began asking questions.

Lin Feng said, "City Lord Liu, I am new here and not yet familiar with the Dao of Cultivation in this place. I am now at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, but I have no clue how to achieve Core Formation. I hope City Lord Liu can offer some guidance."

Liu Tianfeng nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Elder Lin, you are too polite. Core Formation is no small matter; one needs to be fully prepared to succeed in one go. When I achieved Core Formation back then, I also went through many hardships before finally succeeding."

Lin Feng's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "I wish to hear the details."

Liu Tianfeng took a sip of wine and slowly said, "Most of our Human Race Cultivators achieve Core Formation based on their innate talent. For example, those Old Ancestors of our Human Race are naturally Heavenly Spiritual Roots, and most of the Human Race members who can achieve Core Formation are Earthly Spiritual Roots or variant Spiritual Roots. There are also some True Spiritual Roots like myself who achieve Core Formation."

Lin Feng became interested at this point. He respectfully refilled Liu Tianfeng's cup and politely asked, "Please enlighten me, Senior."

Liu Tianfeng gave Lin Feng a look that said, "You're a clever one," and continued:

"Before Core Formation, the first thing to do is to condense your magical power to the extreme. Only then can you lay the foundation for Core Formation. In addition, you also need to prepare some Spirit Materials required for Core Formation. These Spirit Materials are extremely precious, and Elder Lin needs to prepare them in advance."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement with what Liu Tianfeng said and respectfully asked, "Senior, what are these Spirit Materials for Core Formation?"

"There are three main types of Spirit Materials required for Core Formation: spirit essence fruit, golden core grass, and condensing dew flower. Each of these three Spirit Materials is extremely rare, and Elder Lin will need to put in some effort to find them," Liu Tianfeng slowly explained.

Lin Feng silently noted down the names of these Spirit Materials, deciding to pay more attention to them in the future. He continued to ask, "Senior, besides condensing magical power and preparing Spirit Materials, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

Liu Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "During Core Formation, one's state of mind is extremely important. Elder Lin must maintain a peaceful state of mind without the slightest distracting thought, otherwise, it is very easy to suffer Qi Deviation. Furthermore, the location for Core Formation also needs to be carefully chosen; it is best to find a place with abundant Spiritual Qi, as this can increase the success rate of Core Formation."

Lin Feng nodded inwardly upon hearing this, feeling that Liu Tianfeng's words were very reasonable. He gratefully said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. Junior has benefited greatly."

Liu Tianfeng waved his hand and said, "Elder Lin, you are too polite. We Human Race Cultivators should naturally help each other."

Lin Feng was very grateful to Liu Tianfeng for his words. The reason he was willing to serve as a Guest Elder in Silver Sparrow City was that he had traveled to several cities, and while those City Lords were polite on the surface, they all adopted a condescending attitude towards external Foundation Establishment cultivators like Lin Feng.

Those Cultivators would not have bothered to answer the questions Lin Feng posed, unlike Liu Tianfeng, who was so approachable.

The two raised their cups, clinked them together, and drank them dry. Afterwards, Lin Feng and Liu Tianfeng chatted about Cultivation and matters concerning this continent until night fell, when they both departed.

Upon returning to the inn, Lin Feng began to prepare everything needed for Core Formation. Core Formation was no small matter; he had to be fully prepared.
