Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 943: Chapter 699: Upper Grade Golden Core

Bright Flame Sect, Lingyan Peak.

This is the Sect’s Tier Three Upper Grade fire Spirit Vein training ground, its Spiritual Qi pure and blazing; it is the first-choice place for the Bright Flame Sect’s fire technique disciples to assault Core Formation.

Even for the Sect’s key-cultivated Core Formation Seeds, if they wish to rent a Cave Mansion here, they must accumulate Sect Merits numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

They also need to pass a strict review and find at least two True Pill True Masters to vouch for them.

This place is almost never opened to outsiders.

However, at this moment, Lingyan True Master, who is in charge of guarding this place, had personally arrived early.

He ordered the Sect Stewards to prepare three of the best Core Formation Cave Mansions.

He personally ordered the Stewards, who swiftly prepared three Cave Mansions of the finest quality for Core Formation.

Lingyan True Master is Late Stage Golden Core, a giant of the Sect who presides over the Inheritance Hall.

Below the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs, he is one of the Bright Flame Sect’s very few real power-holding high-level figures.

In the past, whenever a Sect Core Formation Seed came here to assault Solidifying Pill, Lingyan True Master would also personally come to encourage them.

But this time, the one coming is an "outsider."

Liu Family Honored Guest, Guo Shiyan.

On the Intelligence Jade Scroll, the records about this person are scant.

It only states that he is a Loose Cultivator from a small clan on Qin Country’s border, a Dharma Realm Body Refining Master, with fire technique Foundation Establishment Perfection.

It was only after True Master Wang Yue made an urgent report that the key additions were made.

A heaven-defying talent, dual-cultivating Tier Two Artifact Refining and Arrays.

His Lifebound Magical Treasure is a True Fire Gourd, suspected to be an innate Spirit Embryo, containing within it several types of Celestial and Earthly Spirit Fire such as "Celestial Thunder Tribulation Fire," its might terrifying.

On the Demon Beast Battlefield, he instantly slew a Tier Three Middle Grade Winged Tiger Demon.

The survival of the Left Army’s Seventh Battalion remnants was entirely thanks to his efforts.

The puppet flying eagle he refined is exquisitely ingenious and of great use on the battlefield.

"Fellow Daoist Guo, the three excellent Cave Mansions are prepared. Please choose one yourself."

Lingyan True Master’s tone was calm as he pointed toward the mist-wreathed Cave Mansions in the mountainside.

"Many thanks, True Master. I’ll choose the one in the middle." Shen Xuan replied with a smile.

After he returned to the Sect with the army, the first thing he did was to meet Ming Liu True Master.

He stated directly that he wished to borrow the Bright Flame Sect’s training ground to assault Condensing the Inner Core.

For this, he offered up the corpse of that Winged Tiger Demon, and together with the battle merits from this campaign, he exchanged for two of the finest-quality Golden Transformation Pills and a number of fire attribute Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

The fact that so many of Dongming Mountain’s Liu Family managed to return alive from this expedition was truly thanks to Guo Honored Guest.

Ming Liu True Master had met Liu Minglin; after learning of Guo Honored Guest’s performance on the battlefield, he naturally agreed readily.

If this person succeeds in Core Formation and joins the Bright Flame Sect, he will be a natural ally.

Right now, with one hundred eighty thousand cultivators in the army almost completely wiped out, the Sect is in urgent need of people.

Not only the Bright Flame Sect; the entire Cultivation Realm of Qin Country is throwing its gates wide open to recruit Loose Cultivators.

For talents like Guo Shiyan, whose battle power is extraordinarily outstanding and who also excels in both Arrays and Artifacts among Cultivation Techniques, the Bright Flame Sect could not ask for more—how could they turn him away?

That Winged Tiger Demon’s corpse, though its fur was completely destroyed, its Demon Core, claws, sword-like fangs, Spirit Bones, and Essence Blood are all top-tier materials for refining Magical Treasures and Elixirs, of astonishing value.

This "calling card" carries tremendous weight.

Accompanying Shen Xuan to Lingyan Peak was also True Master Wang Yue.

He and Ming Liu True Master jointly provided guarantees to win Shen Xuan the qualification to form his core here.

At this moment, Shen Xuan no longer deliberately restrained himself.

His aura naturally flowed out; his Spiritual Power was pure and dense, faintly merging with the fire spirits of heaven and earth.

Lingyan True Master swept him with his Divine Sense, a flash of appreciation passing through his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Guo’s foundation is so steady, his vital blood so vigorous, his Divine Soul so condensed—truly rare. From what this old man sees, he will start from True Pill."

Shen Xuan cupped his hands, his attitude respectful: "I’m grateful for True Master’s auspicious words. I will exert myself to the utmost."

Lingyan True Master nodded slightly and said no more.

Their acquaintance was shallow; it was enough to stop at this.

As for the so-called "Loose Cultivator from a small border clan" mentioned in the intelligence, he did not believe a single word of it.

However, the Bright Flame Sect is currently in need of people.

This person has established glorious battle merits, instantly killing a Tier Three Middle Grade Tiger Demon.

This matter has already spread throughout Qin, boosting morale.

With Foundation Establishment Realm, he crossed an entire Great Realm to slay a Tier Three Demon King.

One has to admit, this matter is quite legendary, rather inspirational.

If not for True Master Wang Yue and the many cultivators personally witnessing it on-site.

Spreading the tale, it would be very hard for people to believe.

Lingyan True Master understood clearly in his heart.

This is the Bright Flame Sect taking Guo Shiyan as a model, setting him up as an example for propaganda.

Used to cover up the tragic defeat suffered on this Demon Beast Battlefield campaign.

Shen Xuan turned and offered a solemn bow to Ming Liu and Wang Yue, the two True Masters behind him.

"I will remember this kindness."

"We wish Fellow Daoist success in proving the Dao of Golden Core!"

The two of them returned the salute in unison, their words earnest.

Shen Xuan spoke no further. He took the Cave Mansion Token from the Steward’s hand, his steps steady, and walked straight toward the mist-enshrouded Cave Mansion in the middle.

Start from True Pill?

No.

This time, he must form a Golden Core.

Moreover, it must be an Upper Grade Golden Core!

Shen Xuan used the Token to break the Cave Mansion’s restriction; his green robe flashed, and his figure disappeared within.

"This child must not be underestimated. Even Golden Core, he has a fair chance."

As the stone gate of the Cave Mansion slowly closed, Lingyan True Master gazed at the billowing Spiritual Qi and spoke in a soft sigh.

Ming Liu and Wang Yue both heard this, exchanged a glance, and felt a slight chill in their hearts.

There were no outsiders here; what Lingyan True Master said naturally came from the bottom of his heart.

Only now did the two of them truly realize that this "Guo Shiyan" is likely far more unfathomable than they had imagined.

Thinking it through, that is indeed the case.

How could a mere little border cultivation clan cultivate such a figure?

If that were true, the local sects would have long since broken down their doors vying to recruit him.

"Junior Brother Ming Liu."

"Here."

"Once he successfully condenses his core, you should discuss matters with him properly and make sure to recruit him into the Sect."

"Yes, Ming Liu understands."

Ming Liu True Master accepted the order.

No matter what Guo Shiyan’s background is, as long as he is neither demon nor devil, the Bright Flame Sect can accept him.
