Chapter 642: Chapter 243: Ninth-Rank Core Formation; Only Top Three Ranks Become Golden Core, Heavenly Distance

Although killing that demon cultivator could solve this problem,

the opponent dared to act against the Mu Daoist’s family, which must mean they weighed the pros and cons, confirming that the other couldn’t match them, thus acting so recklessly.

"I do have a question.

Recently, my master gave me two minor divine techniques of the movement technique type to choose from for cultivation.

One is good for combat, while the other is good for escaping.

I am now troubled over which one I should learn.

After all, if I choose one, I won’t be able to practice the other for at least a few years.

I am more inclined to learn the one good for combat, but my senior brother says that in the world of cultivators, there are always those stronger than you, so I should learn the one that is excellent for escape.

This has left me quite conflicted, so I would like to ask you fellow Daoists, what choice should I make?"

At this moment, that ’wealthy merchant’ cultivator suddenly spoke.

As soon as he said this, everyone else felt a peculiar look arise in their hearts.

Is he here to show off?

He’s definitely here to show off.

Even through the mist, Zhou Changwang could still sense a sort of pride from the emotional fluctuations of the other party.

Especially after he finished speaking, when he deliberately glanced at ’Sister Qiao’ and ’Immortal Lady,’ his expectant emotions were very apparent.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Merchant’s sect is extraordinary indeed.

To think they can let you choose minor divine techniques at will."

Sister Qiao chuckled softly and couldn’t help but say.

"Hahaha... It’s nothing, really.

It’s just because the sect takes care of me, and my master favors me."

Sure enough, he immediately burst into laughter, his pride very evident, but he seemed to realize something was not right and quickly corrected himself, saying, "I am sincerely seeking advice."

"That depends on the environment you are in.

If there are frequent battles and it’s relatively dangerous, naturally prioritize the escape technique.

If battles are rare or most are competitions with fellow sect members, then prioritize the combat-focused movement technique."

On the side, Mu Daoist always explained seriously.

Apparently, being the one who had entered this Four Divine Hall first among them, he acted like the big brother, always providing detailed explanations when questions arose.

"Alright, thank you, Fellow Daoist Mu, for clarifying."

The wealthy merchant also knew to quit while he was ahead and expressed thanks.

Soon, it was someone else’s turn to speak, and everyone else focused their gaze on Immortal Lady. She said only, "I have said what I needed to say.

If any fellow Daoists have news about the Fourth-Grade Spirit Plant Earth Spirit Immortal Ganoderma, please provide it as much as possible. There will be a great reward at the next gathering."

Having said that, she retreated.

Next was Xuanwu.

Xuanwu was obviously a person of few words, having remained silent until then, but now he opened his mouth to say, "I need a Celestial Spirit Crystal Stone here.

It’s a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Material, and if you can provide information or even directly obtain the material itself, I’m willing to offer a treasured reward.

Oh, and besides that, I can offer a piece of free information here.

It’s about a Magical Treasure.

I think you’ve all heard of the Heaven-Overturning Seal?

It is said that Elder Tian Can obtained a method for refining the Heaven-Overturning Seal.

If any fellow Daoists happen to be in the Southern Territory or the Li Fire Domain, you might want to pay attention.

This Elder Tian Can is ruthless and violent, originally one of the seventeen infamous thieves of the Southern Territory, and had it not been for provoking Fairy Lan Feng of the Shuiyun Immortal Sect, he wouldn’t have fled near the Li Fire Domain.

Right, his strength should be somewhere between the Seventh-Layer and Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment, wielding a pair of Spiral Hooks whose power, when combined with his secret techniques, is considerable.

Moreover, he is suspected of possessing a Talisman Treasure.

So, if interested, you might as well give it a try, fellow Daoists."

Zhou Changwang’s gaze flickered.

Between the Southern Territory and the Li Fire Domain.

Isn’t that near Celestial Essence City?

Elder Tian Can?

He certainly hadn’t heard of this man’s name before.

But being one of the seventeen infamous thieves, known widely, clearly, he wasn’t weak.

Moreover, being within the Seventh-Layer and Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment, how could he possibly be considered weak?

It’s just that, it remains uncertain if he has mastered the Foundation Establishment True Body.

Of course, although he received this piece of information, he had no real intentions of going over to intercept and kill the said person.

After all, his identity was that of an Alchemy Master.

Even if he held a slight interest in that so-called method of refining the ’Heaven-Overturning Seal,’

he knew it would undoubtedly be a troublesome affair.

Just gathering the materials would require enormous costs.

The main point was, he had no enmity with Elder Tian Can, and with the latter’s Seventh-Layer Realm of Foundation Establishment, far surpassing him, naturally, he wouldn’t seek trouble.

As for the others, most were outside the Li Fire Domain, separated by numerous mountains and rivers, and would naturally show less interest.

On the other hand, as for this ’Xuanwu,’ knowing about this news and how Elder Tian Can happened to flee nearby, it seemed his original place must have been in the Southern Territory.

It just wasn’t clear about his location or his status there.

Or, perhaps, there was some intention behind suddenly posing this information.

"Celestial Spirit Crystal Stone?

This is a Core Formation Spiritual Object."

Suddenly, Sister Qiao exclaimed, asking with a surprised face, "Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, are you about to reach Core Formation?"

"Just making some preparations in advance."

Xuanwu smiled lightly and said.

"Preparations? I think it’s more than just preparation.

The Celestial Spirit Crystal Stone, it’s a top-notch spiritual object used for cleansing the dantian and elevating the quality of a refined pill.

A Golden Core of true merit is not just shaped after reaching Core Formation.

Only those that achieve the Upper Three Grades in pill formation are true Golden Cores.

Pills of the Middle Three Grades are solid pills, while those of the Lower Three Grades are void pills.
