"8.97 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones?" Sect Master Gu's eyes were about to pop out.
"No, something's not right!" Sect Master Gu immediately muttered.
It's only been half a year! The consumption of Spirit Stones is already approaching ten million!
This is too wrong!
Sect Master Gu seemed to have thought of something and immediately controlled the core of the Formation, retrieving the Formation images from half a year ago, and quickly arrived at the day Su Yuan entered the Origin Pool to prepare for cultivation.
Sect Master Gu found Su Yuan.
Then Sect Master Gu's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the fish tank artifact and the spirit fish within it.
He pointed at the core of the Formation and issued a Soul-searching question: "Formation Spirit, what's going on? Isn't the Origin Pool not allowed to bring in Spirit Beasts or spirit pets? What's with him? He even brought in 50! My Spirit Stones! Do you understand, those are my Spirit Stones!"
The Formation core was silent for a moment.
Then the Formation core sent out a wave of spiritual thought: "Detecting that the other party's spirit pets have the ability to shield the Formation's sensing, similar to shielding heavenly secrets, improvement is currently underway. Marking the other party's spirit pets, please wait, Sect Master."
Sect Master Gu questioned: "What? Shielding the Formation's sensing? Do you know what grade of Formation you are? Do any of his group of fish reach the second tier? Useless! Truly useless! You!"
The Formation Spirit said mercilessly: "Please replenish the Spirit Stones or deduct contribution points. Your pre-stored Spirit Stones are about to be depleted."
"You..." Sect Master Gu's finger trembled as he pointed at the Formation core.
"Improvement successful. When the other party enters next time, their spirit pets will be prevented from entering. Please evaluate this improvement," the Formation Spirit continued without emotion.
"Good, good, good! You... what the heck!"
"Thank you for the Sect Master's three good evaluations. Please replenish the Spirit Stones in time. Your contribution points will be automatically deducted soon," the Formation Spirit said.
Sect Master Gu was somewhat impressed by the Formation Spirit, but it was a pity that the Seven Absolutes Sect was a bit weak in Formations. The intelligence of the Formation Spirit was truly worrying. Even the foxes in the trial Secret Realm were slightly stronger than this idiot, but that was left by the founding ancestor, so it was normal for them to be stronger.
Sect Master Gu held his nose and deposited one hundred million Spirit Stones into the Formation core.
"Hehe, kid, I don't believe you can use it all up! But I have to coax him out first!"
Sect Master Gu immediately sent a message to Su Yuan's True Inheritance token, asking him to come out for a while, as he had a great treasure to show Su Yuan.
Treasures and such were naturally not important. What was important was to get Su Yuan to quickly bring those fish out! These were all his Spirit Stones! It would be fine if Su Yuan absorbed them, but if the fish absorbed them, wouldn't he be losing a fortune? Right, what kind of fish were those? They looked a bit familiar. Hmm, could it be?
He pondered, left first, and went to the Scripture Pavilion to check.
On the other side.
Su Yuan's creation of his cultivation method was still ongoing. The framework of his cultivation method had basically taken shape, and the circulation routes within his body had begun to adjust.
If other Qi Cultivation Cultivators saw Su Yuan's cultivation method circulation route map, they would definitely be dizzy. The dense routes involved numerous large and small Meridians, and each spiritual aperture was like a super circulation hub, connecting a large number of Meridians.
And the interior of the spiritual apertures was even more complex to the extreme. Their profoundness exceeded the understanding of Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Even Su Yuan, who knew about it, couldn't understand the internal structure of his spiritual apertures now, because he had completely copied the Restrictions from the natural Formation Restrictions and blended them into the spiritual apertures.
Although he didn't know the profoundness within, he could already use these effects. The efficiency of spiritual energy absorption and refinement had directly achieved a leap-like improvement.
As soon as spiritual energy entered the spiritual aperture, it was instantly converted into Profound True Qi!
And the Profound True Talismans in the original "Profound True Derivation Heaven Technique" had also been changed beyond recognition. Except for the possibility of having the same name, everything else was completely different from the original!
Among them, the largest spiritual aperture, which was his Dantian, had transformed into an existence like the Origin Pool!
The size of the Dantian, under the modification of the "Origin Pool Restriction," had expanded by more than ten times!
Furthermore, the spiritual power within it showed faint signs of automatically liquefying.
One must know that only Foundation Establishment Cultivators use liquid True Essence!
In the Dantian, streams of four-colored spiritual energy were also being infused through the contract bridge. After entering the Dantian, they were quickly converted into Profound True Qi.
And this conversion already had a naturally formed quality to it!
And after the Origin Pool Restriction was completed, Su Yuan began to conceive a perfect Dao Foundation!
He saw that in the center of his Dantian, a square Cauldron had condensed from Profound True Qi, the power of heaven and earth, and artistic conception!
The material of the Cauldron seemed like gold and wood, yet neither gold nor wood. It contained the artistic conception of gold and the power of wood, and within the Cauldron, a illusory flame condensed from the power of fire was also flickering and burning!
This was the embryonic form of the Dao Foundation that Su Yuan had constructed, the Wood Burning Gold Forging Cauldron!
The name was simple and unadorned, but the heaven and earth mysteries it contained were extremely astonishing.
One could see that in the flame of the Cauldron, there seemed to be a wisp of golden particles undergoing the baptism and tempering of the flame!
That was where Su Yuan's future Golden Core would be!
The so-called gold in the Wood Burning Gold Forging Cauldron referred to the artistic conception of gold, and also the "Golden Core," and it also represented Su Yuan's vision of "golden nature being immortal"!
The Concept of this cultivation method was profound and had long surpassed the theoretical scope of ordinary cultivation methods. If Su Yuan were to write it into a book, it is estimated that only a few Cultivators in the Golden Core Realm would be able to comprehend one or two things from it.
That golden grain of sand was not an illusory existence, but a real one. He would condense a grain of golden sand when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Since there was a Golden Core, he could break through to the Golden Core Realm. So why aim to reach the Golden Core all at once? Why not start condensing from a grain of golden sand?
This was another cutting-edge Dao method insight he gained during the process of creating his own cultivation method. It was the crystallization of wisdom born from his high-level perspective based on a vast amount of knowledge.
At this point, the modification of the cultivation method was nearing its end!
And finally, Su Yuan also integrated the "Seven Star Profound True Body Refining Technique" and the "Seven Star Profound True Spirit Forging Technique" into the cultivation method, thus allowing this cultivation method to completely reach the level of Perfection he could currently achieve!
"Wood Burning Gold Forging Technique," completed!
At this moment, Little Cai also let out a strange cry like a dragon's roar. Her body grew much larger, her scales became more crystal clear and beautiful, and four colors flowed around her body. An Aura belonging to a beast king spread in all directions, and the 49 spirit fish who had already broken through to the upper grade of the Yellow Tier all bowed down.
Su Yuan looked at Little Cai's Aura in surprise. If he wasn't mistaken, that Aura should undoubtedly be a kind of heaven and earth power!
When Little Cai broke through to Foundation Establishment, she unexpectedly comprehended a kind of heaven and earth power as if her Bloodline had awakened. This damned Bloodline talent made Su Yuan envious. Indeed, reincarnation is a technical skill. Little Cai only ate and played, yet she still comprehended a Golden Core level heaven and earth power in advance. You tell me if it's outrageous or not!
Little Cai flicked her tail and flew into the air. Water vapor automatically condensed into a cloud beneath Little Cai, supporting her as she automatically "swam" in mid-air.
Little Cai was extremely happy, circling around Su Yuan.
Su Yuan's head was almost spinning!
"Slow down, slow down!" Su Yuan laughed repeatedly.
Little Cai stopped and rubbed her head against Su Yuan.
Su Yuan waved his hand: "Alright, you've also broken through. Guard me from the side. It's my turn to Cultivate!"
He noticed the message left by the Sect Master in his True Inheritance token. After looking at it and seeing that it wasn't anything urgent, he officially activated the "Wood Burning Gold Forging Technique"!
Crack!
It was as if a massive ancient Divine Beast suddenly raised its head, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed in all directions. A large amount of liquid spiritual energy from the Origin Pool rushed into Su Yuan's body from his various spiritual apertures and pores.
At the same time, Su Yuan also began to open up the remaining acupoints.
It was as easy as eating and drinking water. A spiritual aperture was instantly opened and the natural Restriction was successfully activated.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Just like cultivating from the first layer of Qi Cultivation, Su Yuan's massive spiritual power, like a tide, rushed open one spiritual aperture after another.
In the blink of an eye, nine apertures were broken through consecutively.
After another quarter of an hour, eighteen apertures were opened!
After another two quarters of an hour, twenty-seven apertures were wide open!
All 27 apertures of the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation had been broken through and the natural Formation Restrictions had been activated!
The twenty-seven newly opened apertures immediately connected with the previous spiritual apertures, and the structure was extremely stable. In this way, the subsequent opening of acupoints became easier.
And just in that wave, the liquid spiritual energy in the Origin Pool directly dropped by one percent!
Sect Master Gu, who was flipping through a secret beast manual in the Scripture Pavilion, immediately received a reminder from the Formation Spirit.
He took it out and looked at it, his expression changing!
In the single day he hadn't paid attention, half of the Spirit Stones he had pre-stored had been consumed!
"That was one hundred million Spirit Stones. What kind of monster is that kid Su Yuan?"
Sect Master Gu immediately put down the secret manual in his hand and hurried back.
At this time, Su Yuan had already begun to break through to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation!
A massive amount of Profound True Qi in his Dantian was evaporating, opening up brand new spiritual apertures for Su Yuan!
Another nine apertures, eighteen apertures, twenty-seven apertures!
In just three quarters of an hour, the spiritual energy in the Origin Pool had evaporated by another 5%!
The natural Formation Restrictions within Su Yuan's body were also becoming more complete with the replenishment of a large amount of Profound True Qi.
Su Yuan also didn't expect that arranging a truly complete natural Formation Restriction within his body would consume such a vast amount of spiritual energy. Fortunately, this was the Origin Pool, and the least lacking thing was liquid spiritual energy. He was completely unfazed.
Gu Qingzhu was panicked!
The pre-stored Spirit Stones were dropping rapidly!
The Spirit Stones would naturally not replenish the spiritual energy in the Origin Pool all at once. This deduction was first put into the Formation core, to be converted into spiritual energy later and slowly replenish the spiritual energy in the Origin Pool. What was being consumed in the Origin Pool now was the liquid spiritual energy that was already stored. Whatever was consumed there, the Sect Master had to replenish.
When Sect Master Gu arrived at the Formation core, he saw that the 100 million Spirit Stones were about to be depleted!
"Please replenish the pre-deposited Spirit Stones, Sect Master, otherwise the Formation will expel the cultivating Disciples from the Formation!"
"Please replenish the pre-deposited Spirit Stones!"
"Got it! Got it! It's not like I'm not giving it!" Sect Master Gu snorted coldly.
He threw out another one hundred million Spirit Stones.
He didn't leave either, just stood there watching. He wanted to see what kind of freak Su Yuan was.
"Are Nine-colored Celestial Immortal Fish that exaggerated? There's no such outrageous record in the secret beast manual either!" Sect Master Gu clearly didn't understand the reason for this. This completely exceeded his scope of knowledge. If there were Golden Core Realm Cultivators inside, he might be able to understand a thing or two, but the most they could be inside was Foundation Establishment. This was too exaggerated!
Su Yuan said happily: "Very good, preparing for the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation!"
Su Yuan once again began to charge towards the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation!
There was no difficulty to speak of!
For Su Yuan, Qi Cultivation held no secrets whatsoever. There were no errors or omissions in any step, so breaking through was naturally a matter of course. Only the natural Formation Restriction was relatively difficult.
The Origin Pool's volume dropped by another 10%.
Su Yuan didn't care and went straight ahead, starting to break through to Foundation Establishment!
Foundation Establishment Pill? Not needed! With so much spiritual energy, what do I need a Foundation Establishment Pill for!
At this moment, Su Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "Sect Master did a good job. This time the Origin Pool got the MVP. I'm still the one who wins by lying down, hehe! It's a win-win, which means I won twice!"
