Chapter 393 - Chapter 393: Chapter 93 Golden Core 3rd Layer (1/2)
chapter 393: chapter 93 golden core 3rd layer
after lu youjiu and the others left, lin jing’s life once again resumed its previous pattern.
soon, another year had passed.
in that year, lin jing either engaged in alchemy or cultivation and seldom went out.
he had entrusted all the various affairs of li yan island to yue qi’s mother to manage.
it must be said…
yue qi’s mother’s ability was indeed very strong.
perhaps it was also because she was an original resident cultivator of li yan island that, under her management, no problems ever arose.
it’s just that ever since she started managing li yan island, she had much less time to take care of the spirit plants.
there was no choice, as lin jing currently had no other capable hands at his disposal.
now, only yue qi’s mother was somewhat reliable.
it seems that if lin jing wishes to develop li yan island in the future, he would have to think of ways to cultivate some more trustworthy people.
however.
while cultivating reliable people is important, enhancing one’s own strength is even more crucial.
without strength, everything else is an illusion.
at this moment, lin jing was indeed such a case.
right now, he was sitting cross-legged in the system space, in closed-door cultivation, preparing to break through to the third level of the golden core stage.
next to him lay an empty pure jade box, the pure elixir it once contained had already been consumed by lin jing.
for this assault on the third level of the golden core stage, lin jing had made thorough preparations.
……
actually.
ever since entering the golden core stage, lin jing’s cultivation speed had slowed down a lot compared to before.
over such a long time, lin jing had only advanced from the first level of the golden core stage when he first left immortal crossing island to the peak of the second level.
it was not until recently that lin jing sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough and began to prepare for it.
for this breakthrough, lin jing even started preparations three months ago, refining the pure elixir.
now, having taken the pure elixir, the spiritual power inside lin jing’s body was increasing continuously.
and converging toward his dantian.
due to his poor spiritual root aptitude, lin jing’s breakthroughs were always extremely difficult.
this time was no exception.
fortunately, lin jing had pure elixir medicine to assist in his breakthroughs.
otherwise, waiting for his cultivation to accumulate to an overflowing state would probably take many more years.
one need only look at the zhang family patriarch to understand the difficulty of lin jing’s breakthroughs.
the zhang family patriarch took a full five hundred years to break through to the late golden core stage.
and lin jing had resources that were many times more abundant than what the zhang family patriarch possessed.
not to mention, within the system space, the abundant spiritual power was sufficient even for divine transformation cultivators to practice cultivation.
and lin jing continuously used various elixirs to increase his cultivation…
with such favourable conditions, lin jing barely reached the peak of the golden core second level.
moreover.
this was with the addition of the accelerated time flow of the system space.
taking into account the time within the system space, lin jing’s actual cultivation time was even longer.
however.
given lin jing’s poorer aptitude, such a speed of cultivation was actually acceptable.
should he want to cultivate faster, he would need to find some heaven-defying treasures that could improve one’s spiritual root.
like, for example, the reversal fruit.
but the reversal fruit was not so easy to find.
for now, lin jing could only wish for it.
……
inside lin jing’s body, the spiritual power transformed from the pure elixir continued to converge.
once these energies reached overflowing state, lin jing then controlled them, channeling them through his meridians before gathering them into his dantian.
merging into the golden core…
time ticked by, and after an indeterminate amount, the spiritual power in lin jing’s dantian had also grown more and more abundant.
these energies soon reached a saturated state.
then, lin jing began to operate his cultivation technique and formed a small vortex in his dantian, attempting to compress and condense these energies.
in this way, lin jing slowly focused all his body’s spiritual power toward his dantian…
finally, after several hours had passed…
lin jing suddenly felt a “boom” inside him as if he had broken through some kind of restraint, and then his body suddenly felt lighter, with his mind becoming exceptionally clear.
he had broken through to the third level of the golden core stage…
then, the system notification chimed:
“ding!”
“system prompt: congratulations to the host for a successful breakthrough of the current realm, reward received: 30 harvest points.”
after the breakthrough, lin jing eagerly sensed the surging spiritual power within his body.
indeed, the third level of the golden core stage was much stronger than the second level.
now, he had substantially increased his combat strength compared to before the breakthrough, almost doubling it.
afterward, lin jing also took a moment to feel his divine sense.
he distinctly sensed that his divine sense had also grown stronger.
once lin jing was satisfied with his current strength, he nodded contentedly.
then, he left system space and appeared in his alchemy room.
lin jing’s current alchemy room was no longer the one on the hilltop from before.
this new alchemy room was moved to the highest peak in the northern part of li yan island.
since the entire northern part of li yan island was enveloped in a formation and entry by others was not allowed,
lin jing enjoyed a lot of solitude here and was undisturbed.
only yue qi’s mother, on the few occasions she had other matters to discuss with lin jing, would come over.
following that.
lin jing left his alchemy room and flew on his sword toward li yan city.
upon reaching li yan city, he went straight to the city lord’s mansion.
