Mortal Mirror

The five ghosts looked at Li Ergou's back with some confusion, wondering why their master was in such a hurry, as if his butt was on fire. It was the first time they had seen him like this in a long time.

The ghosts were puzzled, but they soon became delighted because the place where Li Ergou summoned the underworld actually left behind a lot of underworld aura.

These underworld auras were simply a great tonic for the five ghosts, and they immediately began to cultivate frantically.

At this moment, in the Cloud Immortal Palace, at the top of Mount Bu Lao(Mount Bu Lao: A fictional mountain name), inside a cave filled with endless spiritual energy, a red-clothed girl was forming a hand seal, with a spiritual light flashing above her head. It could be seen that she had placed no less than hundreds of Tibetan gold coins around her.

The surrounding spiritual energy rolled in and surrounded her, and as more and more spiritual energy gathered, it solidified.

At that moment, the girl suddenly opened her mouth, and countless solidified spiritual energy, like small snakes, were sucked into her mouth.

Immediately, the girl's body flashed with golden light, and infinite pressure spread out.

At that moment, the girl opened her eyes, and golden light flickered out from her eyes, then retracted and disappeared. The girl's face was radiant with smiles, and she said happily, "I succeeded! I didn't expect the Baitong Pill(Baitong Pill: A fictional pill name) bestowed by my master to be such a miraculous medicine. I succeeded on my first attempt to break through to the Golden Core Realm(Golden Core Realm: A cultivation stage)."

It turned out that this girl was none other than Zhu Zhu(Zhu Zhu: A character name) whom Li Ergou missed so much. What was even more surprising was that this girl had excellent aptitude and roots, and had also obtained the spiritual medicine bestowed by her master. After only a few years in the mountain, she had already reached the third realm of the Divine Path, the Golden Core Realm.

In the Golden Core Realm, cultivators have already stepped into the gate of immortality. At this moment, the cultivator's cultivation is extremely refined, and the mana in the dantian(dantian: energy center) is condensed from liquid to solid, becoming a golden pill suspended in the dantian.

Golden Core cultivators condense a golden core in their bodies, which is a highly concentrated form of mana. Compared to the previous Foundation Establishment Realm(Foundation Establishment Realm: A cultivation stage), Golden Core cultivators possess more abundant and deeper mana, which allows them to support more powerful spells and sword techniques in actual combat.

In battle, they can continuously output powerful attack and defense forces.

The power of Golden Core cultivators is not only reflected in the thickness of their mana, but also in the increase of their lifespan. Once they enter the Golden Core Realm, their lifespan will increase to two hundred years, which is longer than that of ordinary mortals, which also gives the vast number of cultivators time and opportunity to climb higher peaks.

At this moment, all cultivators, regardless of what kind of cultivator they are, can begin to cultivate their natal item. Sword cultivators can refine their natal flying sword, talisman cultivators can cultivate their natal talisman treasure, and so on.

From here, the combat power between cultivators also begins to gradually widen. After all, the gap between ordinary cultivators and those with peerless talents can be immediately revealed.

Those peerless geniuses, such as sword cultivators, can cultivate their innate sword embryo and natal flying sword at this time. Once they have a natal flying sword, they will have the flying sword supernatural power carried by the natal flying sword.

This supernatural sword technique is infinitely mysterious and powerful, and it is simply not something that ordinary sword cultivators can deal with.

Therefore, at this time, sword cultivators also began to distinguish between true and false. Only sword cultivators who can refine their natal flying sword are considered true sword cultivators.

Sword cultivators who cannot refine their natal flying sword can only be regarded as swordsmen, or pseudo sword cultivators.

This is also the beginning of the watershed between genius and ordinary people, and the beginning of the widening of combat power.

Of course, there is another kind of existence, that is, people with great opportunities. This kind of sword cultivator obtains a treasure sword like an ancient immortal sword, and refines it into their acquired natal immortal sword. Such sword cultivators are all people with great opportunities and great fortune.

In addition, the divine sense of Golden Core cultivators is even more powerful. The divine sense of the early stage of Golden Core can cover a range of 500 meters around the body. Thus, this is also the farthest distance that sword cultivators can control flying swords.

Just imagine, taking the enemy's head from 500 meters away is also a very shocking thing.

And the mana that can be stored in the Golden Core stage is five to ten times that of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Why do I say this? Because golden cores also differ. Some people's golden cores are large, and some people's golden cores are small. This has a lot to do with the cultivation method and dantian of each person.

Therefore, the combat power of a cultivator is not only related to the cultivation level, but also to many other aspects.

Another most powerful thing about the Golden Core stage is that it is constantly running on its own, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to replenish the mana of the golden core.

Generally speaking, as long as you enter the Golden Core stage, there are many benefits.

Zhu Zhu looked delighted. She walked out of the cave and came to the top of the mountain. Looking at the countless white clouds rolling halfway up the mountain, she felt an unspeakable comfort in her heart.

Then, she suddenly whispered: "Master said that if I succeed in forming the Golden Core, I will be allowed to go down the mountain with those senior brothers to participate in the World's First Martial Arts Tournament, compete with those geniuses of the world, and appreciate the peerless elegance."

Her eyes were shining, and she really had a trace of expectation in her heart.

Yu City, Li Ergou hurriedly ran back to the yamen(衙门: government office). As soon as he entered the yamen, he bumped into Chen Bajin. When Chen Bajin saw Li Ergou, he immediately opened his mouth wide and pointed at Li Ergou and said, "You... you, where did you go? Master Bai Su is about to throw a fit."

Li Ergou couldn't help but cover his face and said, "I didn't expect it to take so long. Where is she? I'll go find her. By the way, where are our brothers? Tell everyone to prepare, we'll leave in a while."

Chen Bajin said speechlessly: "Leave? The brothers have already left. I'm the only one left here waiting for you."

Li Ergou was slightly surprised and said: "What? So urgent? How long have they been gone?"

Chen Bajin exclaimed: "They left yesterday. Counting the time, they should have arrived at Kushui County(苦水县: A county name). Why don't we leave now? All over are clearing out demon beasts now, but I heard that the demon disaster on the Kushui County side is not very serious."

Li Ergou was no longer in such a hurry when he heard the news. He couldn't help but said: "In that case, Da Baixiang and the others can handle it themselves.

What are we worried about? By the way, has the appointment letter from above come down?"

Chen Bajin looked puzzled and said: "What appointment letter?"

Li Ergou said speechlessly: "Don't you know? Didn't the prefect promise me that day that whether I succeeded or not, he would promote me to deputy chief constable?"

Chen Bajin slapped his forehead and said: "If you didn't say it, I would have almost forgotten. There was such a thing. You were very loud that day, and I heard it too.

However, the appointment has not come down yet, so you are still the chief constable. How strange, the prefect won't have gone back on his word, right?"

Li Ergou immediately grinned and said: "Impossible, so many people are watching, how thick is his skin? I'll go ask Bai Su, you wait for me here, we'll leave in a while."

"Knock knock knock!"

"Come in..."
