167: Insufficient thinking

Then, his feet sank, and he used the Earth Evasion Technique to submerge underground.

He accelerated as he plummeted deeper underground.

With another wave of his hand, he pulled out a top-grade teleportation talisman.

The range of this top-grade teleportation talisman was approximately 1000 li.

Gu Changan really did not want to waste time with them here.

The Divine Sense of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator could cover a vast distance; if they searched a wide area, there was a chance they might run into him.

However, a distance of 1000 li would allow him to get very far away.

He possessed the ability to evade divination, so in all likelihood, they would not be able to find him.

Gu Changan activated the top-grade teleportation talisman and stepped directly into it.

At this moment, the group of Golden Core Stage Cultivators surrounding the hilltop still thought they could play with him like a cat playing with a mouse.

They thought they could hold Gu Changan in the palm of their hands; the only thing they needed to worry about was the group of Fellow Daoists around them.

With over a dozen Golden Core Stage Cultivators fighting over this single resource, it was truly difficult to divide!

Therefore, everyone was wary of each other, especially the Middle Golden Core Stage Cultivator who had just shown off his skills with the Spiritual Artifact, the Blood Vault Shuttle; he was the primary target of everyone's vigilance.

Little did they know, Gu Changan had already escaped underground.

At this point, some Golden Core Cultivators had already detected spatial fluctuations.

"Hurry, the fat sheep has run away!"

Only then did the group of Golden Core Stage Cultivators lower their guard against each other.

They joined forces and unleashed their attacks into the ground, targeting the spot where Gu Changan had previously submerged.

Soil flew everywhere, and soon a crater over a dozen zhang deep appeared.

But there was nothing inside!

The spatial fluctuations created by the top-grade teleportation talisman released by Gu Changan also slowly faded away.

Then, the expressions of the Golden Core Stage Cultivators turned to annoyance.

If they had known, they would have struck like lightning to capture him!

The sword pellet embryo!

And the immaculate immortal bottle!

Were these two Magic Treasure items of the Golden Core Stage just gone like that?

Most of the Golden Core Stage Cultivators left, as the auction had just ended.

Other fat sheep might not have gone far, so there was still a chance to get a share if they gave chase now.

However, there were a few Early Golden Core Stage Cultivators who were unwilling to give up.

They went down to the bottom of the pit alone, looking to see if there were any opportunities to exploit.

On his end, Gu Changan emerged from the spatial tunnel and found himself in a dense forest.

He did not know his exact location.

However, Gu Changan was not worried; as long as he had escaped the encirclement of that group of Golden Core Stage Cultivators, it was fine.

He believed that with his abilities, as long as he could Cultivate to the Golden Core Stage.

If they met again then, it was hard to say who would be the one running!

He quickly left the spot, just in case someone could track the spatial fluctuations here.

Staying here was extremely dangerous!

Gu Changan picked a direction, brought out his flying boat, and flew for about 300 li.

Only then did he find a scenic valley where he planned to settle down temporarily.

After all, he was now very close to the Golden Core Stage.

Gu Changan used his Divine Sense, which was at the Golden Core Stage level, to carefully scan the entire valley.

He did not find any danger; it was just some wild monkeys, wild boars, and bears.

Occasionally, there were a few wild fruit trees, adding a touch of beauty to the valley.

The sunny side of the valley was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, while the shady side had a patch of blood bamboo.

Gu Changan descended on his escape light, and quickly, with a few strokes of his blade, a large patch of blood bamboo was cut to the same size.

After half a day passed, a small bamboo building appeared in the bamboo forest.

Gu Changan looked around and felt it was quite decent.

The only pity was that he did not have a defensive Formation.

It would be perfect if he could set up a Formation.

Looking at his own exclusive territory, Gu Changan prepared to name it; let's call it Wangyou Valley!

With birdsong and flowers, it was isolated from the chaos, deceit, and treachery of the outside world.

Cultivating quietly here also had its own unique charm.

Gu Changan sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion in the bamboo house.

He contemplated the shortcomings of this encounter.

First was his Realm; his Realm was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If he were at the Golden Core Stage, he would definitely be able to handle it with ease.

He wouldn't have to flee so miserably like he did now.

Secondly, there were his means of attack; Gu Changan discovered that Golden Core Stage Old Ancestors had a wide variety of methods.

Just like the Golden Core Stage Corpse Cultivator, anyone could pull out a thousand soul banner, from which four or five Golden Core Stage Ghost General would emerge.

His advantage would instantly vanish!

Or if he encountered a Golden Core Stage Corpse Cultivator next time, they could release a few Golden Core Stage Refined Corpse, leaving him at a loss again!

Therefore, the concept of fighting many with few would not work.

Then there were some Golden Core Stage Cultivators who pulled out strange things, like the Spiritual Artifact, the Blood Vault Shuttle, that he encountered today.

If it could reach the level of a Magic Treasure, perhaps its power would rise to an even higher level.

He might have died there today!

But fortunately, it was only a Spiritual Artifact, and luckily he still had the earth fetal membrane.

If it had been a normal Foundation Establishment Stage shield, he would have been done for long ago.

Gu Changan also really wanted a Spiritual Artifact, but his treasure gathering basin seemed unable to replicate things that possessed a Soul.

Then, Spiritual Artifacts probably could not be replicated either!

Or perhaps it could replicate the main body of a Spiritual Artifact, but not the spiritual intelligence of the Spiritual Artifact!

What should he do in the future?

Did he have to go buy Spiritual Artifacts?

And what about the Spirit Treasure after the Magic Treasure?

Did he have to buy Spirit Treasure too?

Who would sell such things?

Whoever possessed them would keep them hidden tightly!

Besides, was it so difficult for spiritual intelligence to be born?

Even if one killed to seize treasures, treasures with spiritual intelligence were bound to their owners.

After you seized it, it might not be easy to use, even less so than ordinary treasures.

Then why rob it?

Gu Changan began to let his mind wander, and suddenly he thought, since he could replicate the main body of items with Spiritual Qi.

Then what method could allow the replicated Magical Artifact or Magic Treasure to possess spiritual intelligence?

After thinking it over, he thought of a method: Spirit Pointing!

It was using special means to stimulate the birth of spiritual intelligence.

This method could be used on Spirit Plants to make them mutate and possess thoughts.

It could also be used on animals or Spirit Beasts; after Spirit Pointing them, they became much more intelligent.

Thereby achieving the means of Beast Taming!

Gu Changan instantly thought of Beast Taming Technique!

He just needed to buy a Beast Taming Cultivation Technique and then continuously upgrade it.

It would definitely be able to upgrade to the desired effect, eventually achieving the effect of Spirit Pointing.

Not only could he stimulate spiritual intelligence in plants, but he could also increase the intelligence of Spirit Beasts.

Finally, he could also Spirit Point his own Magic Treasure and Magical Artifacts, letting them possess spiritual intelligence, thereby achieving transformation.

After a brainstorm, Gu Changan instantly thought of a solution.

His mood instantly became much more relaxed.

However, in today's battle, what he lacked in the end was something that could deliver the final blow.

Something with immense power that could cause large-scale damage.

And could also restrain the opponent while he was escaping!

Before, it was the top-grade thunderclap pellet, which was more than enough to deal with Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

But it was not enough to deal with Golden Core Stage Cultivators!

You have thunder shock talismans, but they have shields.

Thinking about it, those who could Cultivate to the Golden Core Stage were all dragons and phoenixes among men.

Then he needed an absolute, overwhelming advantage!

For example, what about a thousand soul banner that possessed dozens of Golden Core Stage Ghost General?
