Chapter 309: Chapter 278: Late Stage of the Golden Pill_1
The process of leveling up was in itself a tremendous drain of spiritual energy, adding onto it the two lifebound artifacts, the consumption of spiritual energy was even more terrifying.
The dense spiritual energy within the cultivation room was visibly dwindling at an alarming rate, giving off a subtle sign of insufficient supply. Fortunately, Xu Mu had always been careful and prudent, preparing plenty of auxiliary pills in advance to prevent any accidents during the breakthrough process.
Since the level-up process was exceptionally smooth, these pills had not been used. This time, they proved to be a perfect supplement to the spiritual energy. Compared to absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, consuming pills was indeed faster and more convenient.
“If I weren’t so affluent, I wouldn’t dare to seize such opportunities even if I encountered them.”
If spiritual energy cannot be replenished in time during the leveling-up process, it could result in a failed level increase. For most people, the risk was not worth the reward, so even when opportunities arose, few dared to take the risk.
At his relentless investments, the ranking of the artifacts kept breaking through rapidly, soon reaching the lower-grade tier nine.
Normally, to nourish two lifebound artifacts to this level, it would take at least two to three hundred years. Moreover, the quality of the artifact has to be exceptional; otherwise, it would take even longer.
The functionality of the two artifacts improved several-fold after reaching tier nine. At this point, merely relying on these two artifacts, without employing any divine skills, Xu Mu’s power could reach the top of Golden Core Stage.
Of course, this power came at a great cost, consuming almost half of his long-accumulated spirit stones and pills.
Just as he was contemplating continuing the leveling up, the Golden Pill within the God Refining Tripod began to show subtle signs of abnormality. If he continued, problems might arise.
“The artifact can be slowly leveled up later, the cultivation level is the key!”
To prevent accidents, Xu Mu decisively chose to stop leveling up the artifact and focused on stabilizing his cultivation level.
Time went by, and nobody knew how long it had been. The lid of the God Refining Tripod opened, and a round, vermillion Gold Pill flew out from inside, suspending above the Dantian, radiating brilliant beams of light, like a newborn sun.
The two life-bound artifacts flew out simultaneously, circling the Golden Pill and emitting waves of powerful fluctuations.
The God Refining Tripod stood quietly below, exuding a stable aura like a mountain, suppressing the whole space.
“I finally broke through!”
Even though he had anticipated this, Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon reaching the seventh layer of the Golden Core Stage, his biggest hurdle was to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, as for the eighth and ninth layers, breaking through methodically was not a difficult task.
“Now that I’ve reached the late Golden Core Stage, I should study some tier nine skills and find a tier nine body refining technique!”
A Nascent Soul Stage breakthrough is tough, possibly taking several decades, if not centuries. If he could gain Nascent Soul Stage combative power in advance through skills and body refinement before then, his safety would be greatly enhanced.
For the ordinary cultivator, attaining Nascent Soul Stage battle power at the Golden Core Stage is nearly impossible. But for Xu Mu with his system, it’s just a matter of time.
He opened his eyes, stood up, and opened the system to check the data on it.
