201: Core Formation Plan

"This technique primarily introduces how to increase resonance with a Spirit Beast when commanding it."

"Achieving the effect of being of one mind!"

"This can enhance the combat power of Spirit Beasts!"

"Of course, it also includes some Spirit Beast cultivation methods, control measures, and so on!"

As Fairy You Lan on the stage explained up to this point, several Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestors became interested again.

The most direct manifestation was that the air in the hall instantly became still.

Several Nascent Soul Divine Senses collided in the air, eventually all enveloping that Jade Slip.

However, the Restriction on it blocked their prying eyes.

The terrifying voice of Elder Lu from the Treasure Pavilion rang out again: "What's the matter, everyone?"

"Thinking of using violent methods again?"

The field instantly went quiet for a moment, and then several Nascent Soul Divine Senses retreated.

Gu Changan felt he could breathe again.

It was clear that a Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestor, relying on their Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, was extremely lawless.

Doing whatever they pleased!

If it weren't for Elder Lu of the Treasure Pavilion...

They might have already directly snatched it by force!

This also showed that it was the law of the jungle!

If you have strength, you are the law!

Gu Changan's desire to Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage reached its peak!

Fairy You Lan's respectful voice rang out once more: "The Nascent Soul Stage technique 'True Explanation of Spirit Command' has a starting bid of 10 million Spirit Stones!"

After a brief pause, an old, leisurely voice offered a bid: "10.5 million Spirit Stones!"

"10.6 million Spirit Stones!"

"10.7 million Spirit Stones!"

In the end, only three Nascent Soul Old Ancestors were interested.

According to Gu Changan's analysis, this kind of technique didn't seem to have much practical use!

A Spirit Beast technique first required a powerful Spirit Beast, and Spirit Beasts weren't something ordinary people could raise.

Furthermore, in this era of scarce Spiritual Qi, Spirit Beasts were already rare.

Those who could get their hands on them and afford to raise them were generally major powers.

Another point was that Spirit Beasts were usually raised from a young age until they reached adulthood.

Only such Spirit Beasts were easy to control and had combat power.

Thus, the value of this technique was not nearly as high as it seemed.

Unless one belonged to a powerful organization.

So, speaking of which, these three bidding Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestors likely had powerful forces behind them.

Or perhaps they were buying it to enrich their organization's heritage!

Gu Changan was curious, could this kind of Nascent Soul Stage technique also be mass-produced?

After all, with the Treasure Pavilion's methods, such a thing should be simple.

But why was it still being sold so expensively?

It actually cost 10 million Spirit Stones?

In just a short while, the bid for 'True Explanation of Spirit Command' stopped at 13 million Spirit Stones.

Gu Changan lamented that these Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestors were truly wealthy!

And just like that, the auction ended smoothly.

Gu Changan gained nothing, but he had witnessed the power of the Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense!

At least his horizons had been broadened significantly!

Before he knew it, he had returned to his rented Immortal Cave. With a surge of determination in his heart, he began to Cultivate desperately!

top-grade solid origin pills were tossed into his mouth like Sugar Beans.

Pill after pill was absorbed and refined, and the spiritual liquid in Gu Changan's Dantian accumulated more and more.

Without realizing it, the one-year lease on the Immortal Cave had expired.

That day, the Immortal Cave's Token wouldn't stop vibrating.

Gu Changan slowly woke from his cultivation. Looking at the dust covering his body, he didn't know how much time had passed.

He then picked it up to look; it was actually a notice to pay more Spirit Stones?

He hadn't expected that even in the cultivation world, one could fall behind on payments?

And still had to pay rent?

Gu Changan shook his head with a bitter smile. Truly, in cultivation there is no sun or moon; a moment can feel like a thousand years!

Cultivation time passed so quickly; half a year had gone by without him noticing.

During this half-year, Gu Changan hadn't gone into Tianbao City to look for bargains.

Firstly, in the black market, high-value Nascent Soul items had long since vanished.

They had all been snatched up by Cultivators using special means.

Secondly, Gu Changan had grown somewhat dismissive of other Golden Core Stage treasures!

Gu Changan observed the situation in his Dantian through internal vision.

The spiritual liquid inside was accumulating more and more, but there was still some distance to reach Foundation Establishment Perfection.

The time required should be about half a year!

And that was under the condition of going all out with pills!

Gu Changan wasn't sure if there would be a Heavenly Tribulation when he advanced to Golden Core.

Therefore, making preparations was of the utmost importance!

Gu Changan would never condense his Golden Core within the Treasure Pavilion's sphere of influence.

Setting aside whether the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of these forces would take action...

Gu Changan would never let himself be in a dangerous position!

So he had to find an excellent site for Undergoing Tribulation!

Moreover, this place couldn't be easily accessed by others, nor could it be within the range of the four major forces.

Then this place could only be the Central Restricted Zone.

Only here would other Cultivators not dare to tread lightly, unless they were desperate outlaws!

Having chosen the site for Undergoing Tribulation, he needed some protection!

For healing Physical Body injuries during the tribulation, he had top-grade rejuvenation pills and top-grade healing pills!

If those weren't enough, there was also top-grade blood lingzhi!

For healing Divine Soul injuries, he had top-grade spirit nurturing pills!

And most importantly, the supreme grade transparent soul-locking grass!

What he lacked then were defensive Magic Treasures or methods!

For defensive Magic Treasures, upgrading some Golden Core Stage shields wouldn't be a problem!

As for methods, he could likely also get a set of defensive formations!

But he didn't know how to set up formations himself, unless he found an integrated defensive formation.

Besides, he still had the 'Substitute Lightning Attraction Art'; he would surely be able to survive this Heavenly Tribulation!

Calculating it this way, what was currently lacking was just that his cultivation hadn't reached Foundation Establishment Peak yet.

Furthermore, he hadn't obtained a core formation pill yet!

The next top priority was to get a core formation pill!

Seeing his current cultivation was in a state of flux, Gu Changan went out and paid another year's rent!

He believed that within this year, he would reach Foundation Establishment Peak, and then he would flee for his life after getting the core formation pill.

He then pulled out the map he had obtained previously.

He carefully observed the cities near Tianbao City, pointing all the way to the cities in the Central Restricted Zone.

All the cities he might encounter along the way came into view.

Gu Changan observed them one by one, seeing where would be most suitable to pass through when fleeing.

Which cities could serve as resting points?

Or places to transfer?

Gu Changan's gaze settled on two cities.

One of them was Huibao City, only a few hundred miles from Tianbao City.

The other city was Jubao City, right on the edge of the Ancient Forbidden Land, on the outskirts of the Misty Swamp.

This was Treasure Pavilion territory, the city closest to the Ancient Forbidden Land.

So after his escape, he could first take a short rest in Huibao City and finally enter the Ancient Forbidden Land from Jubao City.

The escape route was planned; now the most important thing was to get the core formation pill!

Gu Changan then thought that he could replicate golden marrow jade milk at will.

He could also replicate ghost soul heart-locking grass at will!

But what about crimson flame dragon marrow fruit?

He had provided two of the main ingredients; if one of them was missing, would the Treasure Pavilion still exchange a core formation pill for him?
