Refining the aurous core required the use of the top-grade Celestial Immortal Technique to slowly draw spiritual energy into the body, washing it away time and time again. The aurous core contained the vast energy of the aurous core, compressing the essence and attaching it to the aurous core.
The quality of a Jindan (Golden Elixir) method, the quality of the Jindan (Golden Elixir) method, and the density of spiritual energy directly related to the speed at which the Jindan could be refined.
The disciples of Mount Shu Immortal School possessed superior resources in terms of both the Aurous Core method and spiritual energy. This was why their cultivation in the Golden Core Stage was extremely fast.
Wu Yu's Gold Core Art and the quality of his Gold Core were both top-notch. However, after leaving Mount Shu, his spiritual energy was far from sufficient.
However, just like the Qi Condensation stage, he could also use medicinal pills and immortal spirits to refine his Gold Pill. Amongst them, the effect of the medicinal pill was the best.
The Qi Condensation Pill and the Primordial Gold Pill both had the function of supporting cultivation, but their specific uses were different. The Qi Condensation Pill was the source of the condensing technique, and the Primordial Gold Pill was the tempering of the golden elixir.
However, in order to refine the golden pellet to increase it by one level, one would need more of the golden pellets. Moreover, the higher the level of the Aurous Core, the greater the requirements were! It was obviously unrealistic to rely solely on the metal elemental elixir to refine the golden elixir. First of all, even the Mount Shu disciples would not be able to withstand such consumption. After all, the metal elixir was an asset and they would need to purchase many cultivation resources.
Also, generally speaking, refining a core for a long time will make it more stable. If the foundation is not stable, then it will be tempered with a large amount of golden cores. If the cores are not solid enough, then it is very possible for them to explode.
Therefore, he needed to use the Primordial Gold Pill, other elixirs, and immortal spirits to refine the Golden Elixir. As for this degree, everyone was different. Generally speaking, the higher the quality of a core, the stronger its assimilation ability will be.
Wu Yu's white Jindan had increased the might of his Heavenly Immortal technique. This speed was much more tyrannical than Nangong Wei's. This was something he was well aware of.
Generally speaking, if one used too many golden cores and was able to reach a critical point of almost that degree, he or she would be able to sense it. At this time, if one was still unable to keep calm and continued refining with the Primary Gold Pill in order to become stronger, the Jindan would become unstable and give birth to a great hidden danger.
Of course, the vast majority of cultivators did not have such worries, because they did not have that many Primordial Gold Pills.
Currently, Wu Yu had some of the items that he had obtained from the Nine Immortals, and some of them were issued by the Pagoda Palace when he had just entered the sect.
Wu Yu didn't hesitate to consume the first of the Primordial Gold Pills.
The Yuan Gold Pill was much more violent than the Qi Condensation Pill. The energy it contained was basically a thousand times greater than that of the Qi Condensation Pill. When the Primordial Gold Pill entered the body, it was like boiling lava burning into the body. It even seeped into the entire body. From this, one would need a very strong physical strength to withstand the Primordial Gold Pill.
When the Yuan Gold Pill's power was burning and bursting Wu Yu's body, he endured the pain and, with the help of his Gold Core Art, spun the white golden core. When the white golden core started to spin, it suddenly seemed to turn into a whirlpool, sucking in the Yuan Gold Pill's power and refining its essence. Through repeated collisions, the pill's flame was calcined and merged with the golden core, turning into Wu Yu's Dan Yuan.
When refining a golden core, the pill's own fire had a great effect, especially the white pill's fire. When it burned, it was like a nightmare for a white golden core. This golden core was quickly refined by the pill's fire.
”Tempering a golden elixir is indeed not easy. A large portion of the energy from a golden elixir is wasted. However, that portion should be wasted as it is unable to produce the purest of elixir essence.”
”I can't rush to refine a Gold Pill.”
After consuming a Yuan Gold Pill, Wu Yu was able to calm himself down. He discovered that there was no problem with using the Great Heaven Immortal Art to calcinate the pill; this was the effect of the top-grade alchemy.
But of course, he knew very well that even if he didn't have a high enough level of mastery, he still had to reach a certain level of mastery in it.
After which, he used almost all of his remaining Yuan Gold Pills on refining the Gold Pills. After which, the Gold Pills had nearly doubled in strength compared to the beginning, but there was still at least four-fifths of the distance between them. As expected, relying on the Yuan Gold Pills to refine the Gold Pills was not that easy.
Counting the time, about five days had passed.
It was only now that the golden flames covering Wu Yu's body were completely extinguished. Only then did Nangong Wei see him. She sat on the ground with her hands under her chin and said, ”Big brother, you're too serious. Wei'er is so bored.”
If we want to stay here and cultivate in silence, it would be a waste of time. Wu Yu stood up and said, ”In the Divine Great Land, there are many sects and schools, many heavenly paradises, countless treasures of genius, and no one has yet dug them up. Moreover, since ancient times, there have been countless cultivators who have left their legacy behind and haven't been discovered.”
”So, are you looking for a treasure?” Nangong Wei's eyes lit up.
”That's right.”
Of course, the so-called treasure hunt was just a test of luck. Wu Yu knew that the chances of success weren't high, but he felt that it was more likely than staying here.
If things really didn't work out, then he might as well just snatch the Sumeru bag from a few cultivators he met along the way who he disliked …
He let Nangong Wei ride on her own, one on the left and one on the right. They both flew low above the mountains, the rivers, the lakes, and the towering mountains. Wu Yu was watching what was happening below while Nangong Wei was playing around happily, laughing and making Wu Yu chase after her and play.
After wandering around for a few days, they did not encounter a single cultivator.
