Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 380 Golden Core Realm

Chen Fan’s eyes bulged, "So large that I can’t even imagine? How large could that be?"

And there’s an endless treasure trove within, with the Condensing Spirit Pill counting as merely a sugar bean?

This immediately stirred excitement within Chen Fan.

With the memories of the Inheritance Record, he was naturally aware of the existence of the Condensing Spirit Pill.

In the Cultivation World, such elixirs were highly valuable spiritual medicines, often so sought after that they would instigate countless Foundation Establishment experts to desperately vie for them.

After all, with the Condensing Spirit Pill, entering the Golden Core Realm would be almost a certainty.

The crafting of the Condensing Spirit Pill was extremely complex, requiring dozens of thousand-year elixirs just for the auxiliary ingredients, not to mention the even rarer main ingredient.

That’s also why Chen Fan had not considered concocting one to increase the chances of success in Solidifying the Pill; after all, with Earth’s current environment, it would be impossible to gather the materials needed for the Condensing Spirit Pill.

Yet, such a high-valued Condensing Spirit Pill was mere child’s play within the treasure trove of the Heavenly Creation Pearl, equating to nothing more than a sugar bean. This, of course, excited Chen Fan immensely, and he was very eager to find out what kinds of treasures were inside the treasure trove.

But soon, he thought of something and asked, "Since you have so many treasures inside of you, with elixirs like the Condensing Spirit Pill surely in abundance, why don’t you absorb the power of the elixirs to heal yourself?"

The Artifact Spirit said, "I can only absorb the power of Heaven and Earth Spirit Objects that form naturally, not the power in elixirs."

Chen Fan nodded, "I see."

The Artifact Spirit added, "If you can help me find Heaven and Earth Spirit Objects to heal, I can thank you with the treasures inside my space. Moreover, the more I recover, the more space I can release."

Chen Fan countered, "According to reason, I am now your master, and all the treasures within this Heavenly Creation Pearl should be mine, shouldn’t they? Why do you still talk terms with me?"

The Artifact Spirit replied, "Who said you’re my master? I can’t acknowledge a master when I’m in a damaged state; you’ve only just gained preliminary usage rights."

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh wryly, having not expected that he only possessed preliminary rights to use the Heavenly Creation Pearl. No wonder he couldn’t explore the space beyond the dense fog.

"Fine, if I get the chance I’ll try to help you recover," Chen Fan said. "Thanks for the Condensing Spirit Pill, by the way. What was the name of your previous master?"

The Artifact Spirit replied, "I can’t remember. All I recall is that they were a very powerful and great being."

Chen Fan had to suppress the curiosity in his heart and then asked, "Do you remember your own name?"

The Artifact Spirit answered, "I don’t."

Chen Fan said, "Then from now on, I’ll call you Little Ling. Even though you’re an Artifact Spirit, your intelligence isn’t low, and I will treat you as a friend."

Little Ling replied, "Thank you."

Afterward, Chen Fan stopped talking and quickly entered a state of cultivation.

Even though Little Ling had swallowed the lotus seeds, the Condensing Spirit Pill given by Little Ling was definitely much more valuable than those twenty-one lotus seeds, and greatly increased the chances of Chen Fan’s breakthrough success, so he was still in quite a good mood.

The only thing he hadn’t anticipated was that the Heavenly Creation Pearl turned out to be a Divine Artifact, incomplete and greatly damaged, but this didn’t diminish the shock in Chen Fan’s heart.

He even began to subtly look forward to the moment when he would collect all three Heavenly Creation Pearls and restore them to full strength.

The next morning.

Chen Fan found Su Qingyan and informed her that he was undertaking a breakthrough, which might take a long or short time, and asked her to be mentally prepared.

He then returned to his room and set up a protective seal there.

The transition from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core would surely not be a quiet affair; without taking protective measures in advance, the entire Mu Mansion could potentially be destroyed by the variations during the breakthrough.

Once everything was ready, Chen Fan looked at the furniture in the room, contemplated for a bit, and then directly stored it all inside the Heavenly Creation Pearl.

Soon, the room was empty, with nothing left but Chen Fan, alone with the four walls.

"I’ll put it back after the breakthrough is complete."

Without hesitation, Chen Fan sat down in the center of the room, took out the Condensing Spirit Pill, and swallowed it.

Then he took out a jade box, opened it, and cast a spell. The essence of the Earth Vein began to flow continuously into his body.

He closed his eyes and began to focus on cultivating.

In his dantian, stream after stream of pure energy began to gather, and before long, a small whirlwind appeared within it.

This was the initial process of Solidifying Pill. Once the whirlwind completely condensed into a Golden Core, Chen Fan would officially step into the Golden Core Realm.

However, unlike other cultivators who would form only one Golden Core, soon after the first whirlwind appeared in Chen Fan’s body, a second one slowly emerged, followed by a third, fourth...

Half a month later.

Above Mu Mansion, a dense cloud hung heavy in the sky, with the constant sound of thunder, as if it might press down on Mu Mansion at any moment.

The Mu Family members were all uneasy and extremely anxious. Many ran out to get some air, but the sight of the oppressive clouds only added to their suffocation.

Only Su Qingyan knew that Chen Fan was at a critical moment in his breakthrough.

She ran to the outside of Chen Fan’s room, planning to check on his condition. Just as she came within ten meters of his room, a terrifying pressure enveloped her, turning her face pale in an instant, preventing her from taking another step forward.

She bit her lip, realizing that even with her significant strength, she couldn’t approach Chen Fan’s room. It seemed the gap in strength between her and Chen Fan was still immensely vast.

With no other choice, she had to retreat and quietly wait for Chen Fan to complete his breakthrough.

By the afternoon, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and countless rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining down on Mu Mansion, making the surrounding area seem like an Immortal Realm, quite extraordinary.

Not much later, the clouds in the sky had completely dissipated. The weather that was once dark and oppressive cleared to reveal a cloudless expanse, causing people living nearby to marvel.

In the room.

Chen Fan was seated on the ground, his upper body clothed no more, and streams of golden light flowed over his bronze skin, filling his entire being with Immortal Qi.

This breakthrough came with the effects of Cleansing Marrow and Cutting Bones. Now, both Chen Fan’s temperament and appearance had changed noticeably.

If the past Chen Fan could only be considered normal in appearance, then now, he was truly a top-tier handsome man.

With that transcendent aura, it’s likely he could captivate and mesmerize countless young girls at a single glance.

In the Cultivation World, the Golden Core Realm is already considered among the ranks of the strong. It is at this stage that one truly begins to touch upon the aura of immortals.

Chen Fan opened his eyes, now as star-filled as the Milky Way, his gaze holding an extraordinary dignity. A mere glance from him was enough to captivate the soul.

However, at this moment, he looked entirely bewildered, as if he had encountered something unbelievable.

He released his Divine Sense into the Heavenly Creation Pearl.

"Little Ling, Little Ling."

Little Ling: "I’m here."

Chen Fan asked, "How much do you know about the Golden Cores of the Golden Core Realm?"

Feeling somewhat proud to be asked, Little Ling replied with the tone of a superior elder, "The Golden Core formed in the Golden Core Realm, also known as the Lifebound Golden Core, can refine and store the power absorbed into the body. During battle, it provides you with an unending supply of power. The quality of power released from the Golden Core is many levels higher than that during the Foundation Establishment. Furthermore, the Lifebound Golden Core also has a life-saving function, as long as it doesn’t shatter, even if one is at the brink of death, there is a possibility of being saved."

Chen Fan asked, "So, does one person only have one Lifebound Golden Core?"

Little Ling affirmed, "Of course, the so-called Lifebound Golden Core is naturally one per person, and only one can be condensed, just as you only have one life."

Chen Fan stood there in a daze and said, "But in my dantian, there are now a total of nine Golden Cores. Is this...normal?"
