Chapter 861: How Can One Enter a Treasure Mountain and Return Empty-handed?
Carson Flores had been worried that Samantha Tate would remain stuck at the Great Perfection stage of the Foundation Establishment and miss such a great opportunity to break through.
Carson had prepared himself to give her the remaining Enlightenment Fruit to eat if she couldn’t break through, determined to help her achieve her breakthrough no matter what.
As it turned out, Carson’s worries were unnecessary.
After meditating for a day, Samantha successfully made her breakthrough, officially stepping into the Golden Core Stage, followed by a rapid surge in strength that was unstoppable.
Carson had once cultivated in the Spiritual Spring of Harmony Hollow, where his strength had increased swiftly; this was the Origin Essence, far more efficient than training in the Spiritual Spring.
Carson was quite envious.
If he could also absorb the Five Elements Essence and possessed Enlightenment Fruit, he believed that advancing to the Peak of Spirit Transformation shouldn’t be a problem as long as his luck wasn’t too bad. He could potentially cultivate to the peak of Divinity Transformation in one go.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t born with a Five Elements Spiritual Body.
Luckily, the Path of the Sword Bone that he followed was extremely unique, allowing him to treat himself as a magic artifact for cultivation, absorbing Essentia directly into each of his Sword Bones, rather than into his Dantian.
The speed at which Carson absorbed the Metal Essence wasn’t fast; after refining artifacts for ten minutes, he needed to rest for at least an hour.
Carson wasn’t in a hurry; as long as he could absorb, even if slowly, he was sure he could complete the refinement of all his Sword Bones.
