The Yue Dynasty, Niu Family Village.

“Ha, ha!”

In Lu Yuan’s courtyard, a little girl was diligently practicing her martial arts.

Although she appeared to be a little girl who was under ten years old, when she threw punches, not only did she exude an air of ferocity, but the ground around her also began to crack.

This scene had been unconsciously created by the little girl.

If she were to attack with full force, even a cow would likely be knocked out with a single punch.

Lu Yuan felt very satisfied as he looked at Shan Yao that was continuously practicing her punches in the courtyard.

This disciple that he had taken in by chance, even though her brain had not been very smart, but her talent in cultivation was truly astounding, even to Lu Yuan.

Although there were still many words that Shan Yao could not recognize, the path of body cultivation did not require a cultivator to possess high intelligence.

On the contrary, if the cultivator’s mind was simple, it would be easier to focus on cultivation and achieve greater results with less effort.

In addition, Shan Yao had the luck talent of being a foodie.

This allowed her already astonishing cultivation speed to rise to another level.

Lu Yuan had imparted the Golden Light Secret Manual to Shan Yao.

As the flagship cultivation technique of Wuji Mountain, the Golden Light Secret Manual was the result of achieving a high degree of harmony between spirit and flesh.

Although ordinary body cultivators had strong bodies, their divine souls were generally not as powerful.

They also lacked some means to protect their divine souls.

Once the enemy was able to break through the body cultivator’s blood qi barrier, they could directly harm the body cultivator’s divine soul.

This was also the most common method used by many spell cultivators when facing body cultivators.

They would first try to find a way to break through the body cultivator’s blood qi, then attack their divine souls.

This was the way ordinary spell cultivators faced body cultivators.

However, there was a way to break through this vulnerability.

Body cultivators lacked the means to protect their divine souls, but they did have a way to strengthen them.

Lu Yuan had exchanged the Golden Light Secret Manual from the Eastern Money-making Ghost. It was one of the few special body-tempering techniques that could help body cultivators strengthen their divine souls.

The essence of the Golden Light Secret Manual was actually to combine the divine soul and the body of a body cultivator.

This technique achieved spirit and body fusion, and the later stages of cultivation would make its effects more pronounced.

This was because the strength of the divine soul would affect the body cultivator’s lifespan.

However, in the early stages of the Golden Light Secret Manual, its attack power was much weaker than that of similar cultivation techniques.

This was because, in the Postnatal Realm, the Golden Light Secret Manual was only a simple cultivation technique to polish the body.

At the Connate Realm, one began to fuse one’s soul with the muscles of the body.

When one reached the True Martial Realm, one would fuse the body cultivator’s divine soul with one’s wonder.

It was also at this stage that the cultivator of the Golden Light Secret Manual began to experience some special changes.

This change depended on the degree of fusion of their internal organs.

The realm above the True Martial Realm was the Spiritual Martial Realm.

The True Martial Realm was equivalent to a Core Formation Stage cultivator, and the Spiritual Martial Realm was equivalent to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

According to Tang Hongzhi, a body cultivator in the True Martial Realm, Lingwu’s cultivator was considered a human weapon.

In the same way, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were already able to display their Dharma Idol.

Similarly, body cultivators in the Spiritual Martial Realm could also display similar abilities.

The only difference was that the Dharma Idol displayed by a body cultivator was not a divine soul, but their own physical body.

It could be said that the True Martial Realm and the Spiritual Martial Realm were two completely different dimensions.

This was similar to the difference between a Core Formation Stage cultivator and a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

However, this was still a little far away from the current Shan Yao.

This was because the little girl had not yet reached the Connate Realm.

At this stage, other than her brute strength, she didn’t have many special characteristics.

It had been four years since Lu Yuan had arrived at Niu Family Village.

It had been four years since the start of the Tidal Moon.

The Half Moon Tide of the Tidal Moon would last for twenty-five years.

In other words, in another twenty-one years, the Core Formation Stage cultivators from the outside world would enter the Full Moon Mountain Range.

Lu Yuan decided to complete Perfect Core Formation through the way of the heavens within these twenty years.

And at the moment, he had already gathered all the preparations to break through Perfect Core Formation through the way of the heavens, except for the golden core creation pill.

After he no longer needed to spend energy to condense his heaven spiritual root, Lu Yuan’s cultivation speed practically soared.

In four years, he relied on his spiritual root aptitude of as much as 1800 points.

With the help of the Divine Soul Pill and the Blood Qi Pill, not only did his cultivation level rise to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but his physical body also reached the eighth level of the Connate Realm.

In fact, if he had enough Divine Soul Pill and the Blood Qi Pill, coupled with the cultivation pill and Spirit Nurturing Pill that Lu Yuan usually refined, his cultivation speed could have been even faster.

However, Lu Yuan was very clear that the most important thing for him at that time was not to increase his cultivation.

Instead, he wanted to find a way to gather the medicinal herbs to refine the golden core creation pill.

At that time, he had only found one medicine and was still missing two.

Lu Yuan also roughly knew the distribution of these two herbs.

However, it was a little troublesome to obtain them.

This was because these two medicinal herbs were in the forbidden area of the Full Moon Mountain Range.

It was a forbidden area.

These forbidden areas were constantly occupied by various demons, and the danger of cultivators entering them was considerable.

Lu Yuan would never easily venture into these forbidden areas unless he was absolute confidence.

This was because it was said that there were many peerless demon kings with the bloodline of ancient beasts hidden in the forbidden area.

These peerless demon kings were equivalent to cultivators who had received blessings from the heavens, and their combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary people. Defeating them was not an easy task.

And to enter these forbidden areas, one needed the bloodline of the Yue Imperial Family as a key, which could only be activated at a specific time.

This was also one of the reasons why cultivators would voluntarily join a prince’s faction.

Another reason why cultivators were willing to participate in this secular struggle was that there were many training grounds within the Yue Dynasty.

For example, the Greatsword Mountain in the north of the Empire, and the Heavenly Saint Pond in the east of the Empire, and so on.

These were all paradise that could assist cultivators in their cultivation.

Cultivators helped the princes fight in exchange for the right to enter these trial grounds.

Among the herbs that Lu Yuan used to refine the golden core creation pill, there was a natural treasure called the Heavenly Saint Lotus Root that was located in the Heavenly Saint Pond.

The last immortal herb, White Bone Crystal, was located in the Myriad Bone Forest of the mystic realm.

The golden core creation pill was made by using the Heavenly Saint Lotus Root as the flesh, the White Bone Crystal as the bone, and the Phantom Soul Fruit as the soul.

These were the three most important materials for refining the golden core creation pill.

Among them, Lu Yuan had already obtained the Phantom Soul Fruit.

He only needed to acquire the White Bone Crystal and the Heavenly Saint Lotus Root, he would be able to refine the golden core creation pill.

Lu Yuan received news that the Myriad Bone Forest would open in seven years.

If he could find an opportunity to enter the Myriad Bones Forest and find the White Bone Crystal, his mission would have been almost completed.

And those seven years were also the last time he had to make preparations.

Lu Yuan was determined to obtain the White Bone Crystal!
