Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 235: Obtaining Rank Three Monster Cores, Fake Core Cultivator

"Husband, you're so strong."

"Just promoted to the early stage of Gold Core, and yet you were able to cross two small realms and kill a late stage Gold Core cultivator from the Sea Clan."

"With this level of combat power, there are probably not many in the entire Canglan Sea Region."

Shen Biqian looked at Zhou Sui with admiration, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of charm.

It can be said that without Zhou Sui, it would have been impossible to kill thirteen Gold Core cultivators from the Sea Clan. They could only hide within the formation and rely on its power to resist.

But with Zhou Sui's help, killing these Gold Core cultivators from the Sea Clan was as easy as killing chickens.

The difference between the two was truly immense.

"Is that so? In fact, my combat power in other places is also unparalleled."

Zhou Sui embraced Shen Biqian's slender waist.

As he looked at Shen Biqian's graceful figure during the battle, he couldn't help but feel a little impulsive.

Who let her be so reasonable, she was simply captivating to the bone.

"As for this matter, I won't comment on it."

"But overall, I am very satisfied."

Shen Biqian giggled, her eyes full of charm.

"You shameless woman, what are you saying in public?"

"Be mindful of your surroundings."

Lin Yazhu blushed and looked at these shameless individuals with annoyance. Clearly, this was a cruel battlefield, yet they started flirting and teasing each other.

If these Sea Clan cultivators knew about this, they would definitely be infuriated enough to resurrect again.

"Husband, this time we obtained thirteen Rank Three Monster Cores."

"And one hundred and twenty-three Rank Two Monster Cores."

"This time, we really hit the jackpot."

Leng Yuxi was very excited. Just now, she dissected the bodies of those monsters and obtained the Monster Cores from inside.

There was no doubt that the benefits they gained this time were tremendous.

The so-called Rank Three Monster Cores were naturally the inner cores of Rank Three monsters.

Unlike Rank Two monsters, as long as they advanced to Rank Three, a Monster Core would inevitably form inside their bodies.

These Rank Three Monster Cores also came from the thirteen dead Gold Core cultivators from the Sea Clan.

"Rank Three Monster Cores? This is an incredible treasure."

"With the power of Rank Three Monster Cores, it can help Foundation Building cultivators enter the realm of Fake Core."

Zhou Sui praised with admiration.

There was no doubt that Rank Three Monster Cores were extremely precious treasures even within the Canglan Sea Region, and their value was even more precious than that of Golden Liquid Jade Pills.

After all, these were precious Monster Cores from Rank Three monsters. They could only be obtained by killing a Rank Three monster that was comparable to a Perfected Being in the Gold Core stage. One can imagine how precious they were.

Even for Gold Core cultivators of the same level, it would be extremely difficult to fight and defeat a Rank Three monster alone.

So the quantity of Rank Three Monster Cores is extremely rare.

Of course, its preciousness is not only because it is difficult to obtain.

More importantly, it can help Foundation Building cultivators who have no hope of Core Formation to advance to the False Dan realm.

The so-called False Dan realm, in essence, is not much different from a true Gold Core Perfected Being.

False Dan cultivators not only have the same lifespan of five hundred years as Gold Core Perfected Beings, but they also possess Gold Core mana and Gold Core domain. Their combat power is only slightly weaker than that of early Gold Core cultivators.

But they have an overwhelming advantage over Foundation Building cultivators.

In other words, they cannot fight against cultivators of the same level of Gold Core, but they are excellent at bullying weaker opponents.

This is the realm of False Dan cultivators.

However, it also has a major flaw, which is that once the False Dan is condensed, cultivation cannot progress any further. It will only be at the level of False Dan for the rest of their lives, equivalent to early Gold Core.

The reason for this situation is naturally related to False Dan cultivators using Rank Three Monster Cores.

You see, true Gold Core Perfected Beings rely on their own mana to form a Gold Core within their bodies.

But what about Foundation Building cultivators who have insufficient talent? Due to the impurities in their mana and insufficient spiritual consciousness, as long as they reach Core Formation, they will inevitably fail.

However, throughout the long history, ancient cultivators have discovered a shortcut.

That is to use the Monster Core inside a Rank Three monster.

Foundation Building cultivators integrate with a Rank Three Monster Core, thereby stepping into the realm of Gold Core.

Since this is not a true Gold Core within their bodies, but formed with external help, it is called False Dan.

Don't be fooled by the many flaws and the inability to progress in cultivation.

But for most Foundation Building cultivators, it is an extremely desirable shortcut.

After all, if they cannot achieve False Dan, they will inevitably exhaust their lifespan and die, only able to live for a little over two hundred years.

But once they become False Dan cultivators, they immediately gain a lifespan of five hundred years, instantly doubling their lifespan.

They also possess the power of a Gold Core Perfected Being, becoming invincible against weaker opponents.

Even for some Gold Core sects and clans, this is also a treasured inheritance.

After all, not every generation of Gold Core forces can find successors who can advance to the realm of Gold Core.

At this time, the appearance of Rank Three Monster Cores brings them a shortcut.

Allowing the sect's cultivators to advance to the realm of False Dan.

In this way, there is not much difference from true Gold Core Perfected Beings.

They can still protect the sect's inheritance for hundreds of years.

In history, the Immortal Mist Sect is such an example. In a situation where no disciple could achieve Gold Core for several generations, they obtained a Rank Three Monster Core, giving birth to a False Dan cultivator and protecting the Immortal Mist Sect's future inheritance for hundreds of years.

It can be imagined that if Rank Three Monster Cores were really circulated, they would definitely be sold at a sky-high price.

"It's really strange, why can Rank Three Monster Cores help human cultivators enter the realm of False Dan?"

"But why can't the Gold Core of human Gold Core cultivators achieve this?"

Leng Yuxi was very curious about this.

After all, the only thing that can help Foundation Building cultivators enter the realm of False Dan is Rank Three Monster Cores.

The human body's Gold Core cannot achieve this.

"It's simple, because the human body's Gold Core and the Rank Three Monster Core of demonic beasts are completely different things."

"The human body's Gold Core is formed by the condensation of vital energy and spiritual energy, equivalent to an energy body."

"Once a Gold Core cultivator dies, the Gold Core in their body will automatically disperse and dissipate into the world."

"But the Rank Three Monster Core in the body of a demonic beast is a special organ."

It stores a large amount of Gold Core energy and integrates many essences of the demonic beast.

That's why it can be used by human cultivators.

Zhou Sui explained.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the Gold Core in the human body couldn't affect other humans, I'm afraid there would have been countless cultivators who would have wanted to obtain the fallen Gold Cores.

As long as one obtains a Gold Core, they will definitely become a false pill cultivator.

This is simply unimaginably tempting.

"I see."

Leng Yuxi nodded, looking at Zhou Sui with admiration. He truly deserved to be her husband, he was indeed knowledgeable and talented.

This is also normal.

After all, Zhou Sui had absorbed all the heritage jade slips and various books of the three major sects, making him the most knowledgeable person among the three sects.

Basically, he would know more or less about the secrets recorded by the three sects.

"Husband, what is this?"

At this moment, Shen Biqian found a storage bag from the fallen Gold Core cultivator of the Black Sha Clan and discovered a strange Law Treasure inside, which looked like a huge black wooden stake.

After all, she was only good at alchemy and not good at refining tools.

There are countless Law Treasures in the world, and she cannot possibly recognize all of them.

"This is a High Grade Law Treasure, the Sealing Spirit Stake."

In an instant, Zhou Sui's pupils contracted. He used his insight to identify it and immediately obtained a lot of information from this Law Treasure.

"A High Grade Law Treasure, the Sealing Spirit Stake?"

"This Black Shark Clan cultivator actually has such a Law Treasure?!"

Lin Yazhu was also shocked. She didn't recognize it at first, but after Zhou Sui's reminder, she couldn't believe her eyes when she looked at this High Grade Law Treasure.

"What's wrong? Why are you so surprised?"

"Could it be an extraordinary Law Treasure?"

Shen Biqian asked curiously.

"Of course, it's an extraordinary Law Treasure."

"Even in Xianxia Island, such a treasure has never appeared."

"The greatest function of this High Grade Law Treasure, the Sealing Spirit Stake, is to disturb the earth's spiritual veins and seal spiritual energy."

"If the Sealing Spirit Stake had appeared in Xianxia Island, it would have caused chaos in the world."

Lin Yazhu sighed.

Upon hearing these words, Shen Biqian and Leng Yuxi were not fools and immediately understood the power of this High Grade Law Treasure. There was no doubt that this Law Treasure was specifically designed to target the earth's veins and formations.

With this Law Treasure, it was even more powerful than possessing a Rank Three Breaking Prohibition Talisman.

Many formations would be restrained by this Law Treasure.

"No wonder these sea cultivators knew that we had the protection of a Rank Three formation, yet still dared to bring a large number of sea beasts. It's because of the existence of the Sealing Spirit Piles. They are not afraid of our Rank Three formation at all," Leng Yuxi suddenly realized.

She could fully imagine a scene where sea cultivators used the Sealing Spirit Piles to seal off Rank Three formations and then used the power of a large number of sea beasts to eliminate human cultivators.

And with the insufficient number of human cultivators, they could only be completely wiped out.

They had no power to resist.

"The sea cultivators came prepared this time."

"They even prepared Sealing Spirit Piles. The human race in the Canglan Sea Region will definitely suffer a great calamity," Shen Biqian's face was very solemn.

Originally, the advantage of the human race lay in formations. With the power of formations, they could contend with the sea cultivators.

And even win the battle.

Even if the sea cultivators were numerous, as long as they couldn't break through the formations, they would only be constantly worn down.

Once the consumption became too great, the sea cultivators would retreat on their own.

This had been the case for thousands of years of history.

But now, the appearance of the Sealing Spirit Piles changed this.

"It is said that the sea cultivators have at least refined 108 Sealing Spirit Piles."

"The one carried by Shark Wu is one of them," Zhou Sui said in a deep voice. Just now, he used the power of the Dream Soul Gu to devour the souls of Shark Wu and other sea cultivators, gaining their memories and obtaining a lot of information about the sea cultivators.

"They actually refined so many Sealing Spirit Piles?"

"But Shark Wu obtained one of them. It seems that this guy's identity is not simple," Lin Yazhu said in a deep voice.

"It is indeed not simple."

"Shark Wu is the son of the Black Shark Clan Chief, so he has the qualifications to obtain a Sealing Spirit Pile," Zhou Sui said.

"The son of the Black Shark Clan Chief?"

"Now that Shark Wu is dead, won't we be in trouble?" Leng Yuxi was suddenly shocked.

She knew that the Black Shark Clan Chief was a Nascent Soul old monster, and now that his son had died, he would probably seek revenge.

"Don't worry, the Black Shark Clan Chief won't seek revenge in the short term."

"Now they are more concerned about how to attack the headquarters of the Infinite Unity Alliance, rather than our remote sea area."

"More importantly, the Black Shark Clan Chief has 108 sons, and Shark Wu is just one of them."

"Of course, even if the chief of the Black Shark Clan really comes to attack our Three Star Islands, I can easily lead you all to escape," Zhou Sui said calmly and leisurely. Even though he knew he had killed the son of the chief of the Black Shark Clan, he was not overly worried. After all, he had long since changed from his past self.

When his Teleportation Gu reached the Rank Three realm, his ability to escape greatly increased.

I can instantly move a million kilometers.

Even the Nascent Soul Ancestor cannot catch up with me.

If the other party really comes to attack the Three Star Island Group, I will immediately flee with my wives and concubines, abandoning this base.

After all, the Canglan Sea Region is so big, there is nowhere I cannot go.

If he is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, he can come back and kill the chief of the Black Shark Clan again.

"Mm."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yazhu, Leng Yuxi, and Shen Biqian all nodded obediently, feeling joyful and an unparalleled sense of security.

"Let the cultivators of the sect come first."

"Take away all the meat of these sea beasts, even the meat of Rank Two and Rank Three demonic beasts."

"These are all top-quality ingredients, we can't waste them."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.

"Mm, I have already sent out the transmission talisman, and there will be a large number of cultivators coming soon."

Leng Yuxi said in a deep voice.

...

Not long after, cultivators from the three major sects, Azure Wood Sect, Immortal Mist Sect, and Alchemy Cauldron Sect, also arrived on flying boats.

They were the first to see the countless sea beast corpses on the sea surface.

Each and every one of them was extremely shocked.

"Our Sect Master is truly amazing."

"Just how many sea beasts were slaughtered? It must be over fifty thousand."

"Not only Rank One sea beasts, but also Rank Two demonic beasts, and even Rank Three demonic beasts."

"Wait, Rank Three demonic beasts? Does that mean they obtained Rank Three Monster Cores?"

"That's right. According to what our Sect Master said, they obtained a total of thirteen Rank Three Monster Cores this time. Then, our Sect Master will put three Rank Three Monster Cores in the treasure vault. Whoever has enough contribution points can exchange for them."

"No way, one Rank Three Monster Core can make a False Dan cultivator. It's incredibly precious."

"What an opportunity. If we really get a Rank Three Monster Core, we all have a chance to become False Dan cultivators."

Many Foundation Building cultivators were discussing among themselves.

Especially those Foundation Building cultivators who were old and physically weak, they became even more excited.

Originally, they had no chance of Core Formation. As long as they tried, they would definitely fail in Core Formation.

But now, with the help of Rank Three Monster Cores, they could become False Dan cultivators.

Even if they lost the potential for further advancement, they would still be equivalent to Gold Core Perfected Beings, with a lifespan of five hundred years.

Which Foundation Building cultivator whose lifespan is about to run out isn't eyeing the Rank Three Monster Core eagerly?!

They all exchanged glances, seeing each other as their biggest competitors.

Even if it means bankrupting themselves, they must exchange for a Rank Three Monster Core.

...

At this moment, in the Canglan Sea Region, the headquarters of the Sea Clan, in an underwater city.

Many Nascent Soul ancestors of the Sea Clan are gathered here.

"Damn it, my son, Sha Wu, is dead."

Just at this moment, the face of Sha Chen, the chief of the Black Shark Clan, changed, and he became furious. He sensed that his son, Sha Wu's life lamp had extinguished. A terrifying aura swept through the heavens and earth, causing the entire city to tremble and rumble.

This is the might of a Nascent Soul ancestor.

In his anger, the colors of the world changed, causing fear and trembling.

Although he had many sons, there were very few as outstanding as Sha Wu.

After all, Sha Wu was already a cultivator of the Gold Core Late Stage, just one step away from entering the Nascent Soul realm.

Once he ascends to the Nascent Soul realm, the Black Shark Clan would have a successor.

But now, Sha Wu was killed, and the Black Shark Clan lost a leader with great potential.

This loss is enormous.

After all, talented creatures of the Black Shark Clan are rare.

"What happened? How did your son, Sha Wu, die?"

A curious Nascent Soul ancestor of the Arrowfish Clan asked.

"My son, Sha Wu, led a large army to attack the peripheral waters of the Infinite Unity Alliance."

"But just now, my son, Sha Wu's life lamp extinguished."

"It must be a human cultivator who killed my son."

"I must seek revenge and avenge him."

Chief Sha Chen was uncontrollably angry and immediately wanted to get up and avenge his son, Sha Wu.

"Hold on, what are you planning to do? You're not thinking of charging alone into the human territory, are you?"

The one speaking was the Sea Clan's elder. A terrifying Nascent Soul domain emanated from him. He was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, with monstrous power.

The surrounding Nascent Soul monsters trembled in fear.

"Elder, my son died in the human territory. This grudge is irreconcilable."

"Don't stop me."

Chief Sha Chen said angrily.

Even though it knew that the elder in front of it was from the Sea Clan, its inner ferocity had already erupted, and it still confronted him head-on.

The surrounding Nascent Soul ancestors all broke out in a cold sweat.

If they angered the Sea Clan elder, Chief Sha Chen would be doomed, and he would surely be turned into minced meat.

Who doesn't know how ruthless the Sea Clan elder is? It's long been famous.

"I won't stop you, but I advise you to think it through carefully."

"Are you sure this isn't a trap set by humans?"

"If the human race already knew the identity of your son, Sha Wu, and set up a plot to kill him."

"The purpose is to provoke you and make you vulnerable."

"So when you really rush to that place, you may be met with a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators from the human race."

"No one will be able to save you then."

"And if the Black Shark Clan loses you, Sha Chen, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive in the Canglan Sea Region."

The Elder of the Sea Clan said softly.

It did not discourage Sha Chen, nor did it get angry, as if it were a kind and charitable old man.

Now it was just appealing to emotions and reasoning.

After all, Sha Chen, the chief of the Black Shark Clan, could still be saved and was considered a major general of the Sea Clan.

"This!"

As soon as these words came out, even if Sha Chen was in a state of rage, he had to calm down at this moment.

Indeed, as the Elder said, it was difficult to say that this incident was not a trap.

If he really fell into the human's scheme and walked into their trap, then he would probably have no chance of returning.

If the Black Shark Clan lost his protection, their fate would be worrying.

As the chief of the Black Shark Clan, he had to consider this.

"Sha Chen, I understand your inner anger."

"But now is not an ordinary time, but a time of war."

"It is a war between our Sea Clan and the human race."

"It concerns the thousand-year plan of the Sea Clan."

"A small action can have far-reaching consequences."

"The death of any Nascent Soul cultivator can change the course of the war."

"You are absolutely not allowed to make any reckless moves that would endanger the entire Sea Clan."

"It's not just the death of your son, but any descendant of a Nascent Soul cultivator present here could die."

"But this is a price we must accept; there can be no war without casualties."

The tone of the Elder of the Sea Clan was stern as he stared at Sha Chen, the chief of the Black Shark Clan.

"Elder, so now I can only endure?" Sha Chen gritted his teeth, feeling unwilling.

"Yes, for now, you can only endure."

"Even if you are extremely angry now, you still need to be patient."

"Of course, I'm not stopping you from seeking revenge, I just want you to consider the overall situation."

"When we completely destroy the human race in the Canglan Sea Region, I believe the killer of the human race will have nowhere to hide."

"But if you act rashly, not only could you lose your life, but you could also drag down the entire Sea Clan."

The tone of the Elder of the Sea Clan softened a bit as he spoke with great seriousness.

"Elder, I understand."

"I will endure this matter and not seek revenge."

"After the war is over, then I will settle the score."

"But is it really possible that this time it's a conspiracy against me, Sha Chen?"

Sha Chen took a deep breath, completely calm now, but still somewhat doubtful.

"Not sure, it may not be a trap."

"Perhaps it was just bad luck for your son, Sha Wu, to encounter a group of powerful human Gold Core Perfected Beings."

"As a result, your son, Sha Wu, was unable to defeat them and died."

"But regardless of which possibility it is, we cannot take any risks now."

"Do you dare to bet that this matter is not a trap? Can you afford to gamble?"

The Elder of the Sea Clan said softly.

"I understand, Elder."

Sha Chen nodded. Indeed, as the Elder said, he couldn't afford to gamble.

Even if he won, it would only mean killing the murderer who killed his son.

For the entire Black Shark Clan and the Sea Clan, it wouldn't be of much help, just revenge.

But if he failed, if this really was a trap set by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the human race, then his death would not only affect the Sea Clan's plans for the future but also the entire Black Shark Clan.

He simply couldn't afford to gamble.

"Alright, you don't need to worry."

"As long as our Sea Clan can dominate the Canglan Sea Region, the mere killer will have nowhere to escape."

"Thinking about revenge all the time is foolish behavior."

"A truly wise person knows how to temporarily set aside hatred and consider the long-term."

"Not taking action until the critical moment, but when you do, it will be a fatal blow."

The Elder of the Sea Clan said.

"Rest assured, Elder."

"This time, the human race is doomed. They will definitely not be able to survive in the Canglan Sea Region."

Sha Chen exuded a terrifying killing intent. This time, the death of his son, Sha Wu, had completely enraged him, causing a burst of terrifying murderous intent to emanate from him.

This time, he would definitely make the human race pay a price.
