Chapter 716 - 715: The Letter from the Saint Dragon Pavilion Master
With the Devouring Technique, one could directly extract energy from the Spirit Jade, and the energy within was tremendously vast and exceedingly pure; thus, after absorbing a piece of Spirit Jade, Yusuf Zuck finally took a small step forward, successfully advancing to the mid Foundation Establishment phase.
Other cultivators might not care much about this small step, but for Yusuf Zuck, who possessed nine Golden Cores, this step was incredibly difficult to take.
"What an excellent item." Yusuf Zuck took several deep breaths; the Spirit Jade was even superior to the Golden Core.
"There are two more; let’s see if I can reach the late Condensation Period, or even ascend to the Golden Core Realm and sense the impending tribulation," Yusuf Zuck continued, taking out the other two pieces of Spirit Jade, quickly forming a hand seal to bless them, and then, with a breath, sucking in two streams of extremely pure purple energy.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~" sounds came from his stomach, and his Dantian boiled over.
However, this time, the nine Golden Cores merely flickered a few times and solidified a bit more without any further activity.
Of course, his spirit, strength, and so on, continued to enhance, but he did not reach the late stage of the Condensation Period!
Yusuf Zuck sighed. Although he had been mentally prepared for the impossibility of advancing, he still felt immensely disappointed when it didn’t happen.
When he had devoured the first Spirit Jade, he had already ingested a lot of other Spirit Pills and herbs, so he had accumulated a significant amount, and hence, naturally advanced in rank upon consuming the first Spirit Jade.
However, as he had only just reached the mid Foundation Establishment phase, even having two Spirit Jades wasn’t enough to support a further advance; the energy was insufficient.
