Chapter 520 - 519: Golden Core Great Success!
This batch of treasure pills consists of a total of thirteen, each displaying two colors, purple and green, resembling the Tai Chi Diagram, where two Yin-Yang fish chase and merge into a single Spirit Pill.
From them emanates a faint five-colored radiant glow, with a mysterious Dao Rhyme flowing around.
Just as the furnace was opened, unexpectedly, a whiff of the pill’s fragrance broke through the restriction, leaking out slightly.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan reacted swiftly, putting away the Spirit Pill quickly, otherwise the severe loss of the pill’s fragrance would inevitably harm a part of Primordial Qi.
Thirteen Spirit Pills spun around in front of Gu Yuan and were directly swallowed as he opened his mouth.
Following that, Gu Yuan’s Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques were immediately activated, along with the "Red Fetus Roasting Furnace Scripture" he practiced, taking merely the time of a cup of tea to devour and refine these Spirit Pills thoroughly.
Along with it, his aura quickly expanded in the span of a single breath.
Gu Yuan leaped in a breakthrough from the Golden Core Small Success Realm to the Golden Core Great Success Realm!
Indeed, since Gu Yuan broke into the Golden Core Realm, it hasn’t been even a year yet, but if calculated, it took him only a little over half a year to reach the Golden Core Great Success.
He isn’t far from the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm now.
"These Spirit Pills are quite good, but it’s a pity... they’re a bit too few."
Gu Yuan smacked his lips, seemingly savoring the taste of those Spirit Pills earlier.
If there were enough Purple-Green Twin Lotus, he could even step into the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm.
As for unstable foundations, such things simply would not occur to Gu Yuan.
Now, Gu Yuan, whether it is Physique or Divine Soul, already stands strongest below the Yin Spirit!
His foundation is solid and profound, so much so that even some Yin Spirit Giants might not measure up to him.
Not to mention just breaking through to the Golden Core Great Success or even to the Great Perfection Realm, even breaking through to the Yin Spirit Giant Realm is entirely feasible.
Of course, even though Gu Yuan desires to improve his cultivation, raising it too fast, such as to the Yin Spirit Giant, could pose some risks, causing his foundations to become somewhat shaky.
Just then, Gu Yuan’s heart stirred, as if he sensed something. With a casual wave, he removed the restriction outside the Cave Mansion door and calmly said, "Brother Xu, please come in."
Xu Haoran, who just arrived at the door, seeing the restriction retreat and disperse revealing an entrance, was momentarily stunned, then listened to Gu Yuan’s voice, smiled, and stepped inside.
Upon entering the living room and seeing Gu Yuan, he cupped his hands in salute: "Brother Chu."
As soon as his words fell, his brows furrowed tightly, sensing something and his eyes widened: "Wait, Brother Chu, your cultivation..."
Gu Yuan smiled, saying, "Just a small achievement."
"It’s more than just a small achievement."
Xu Haoran shook his head. As a Golden Core Great Cultivator himself, he naturally understood the difficulty of cultivation.
Before the Golden Core, it was easier to say, but once the Golden Core is formed, every subsequent breakthrough becomes very difficult, increasingly so the deeper you delve.
He wasn’t sure when Gu Yuan exactly broke through to the Golden Core, but knew that Gu Yuan hadn’t broken through for long. Now, Gu Yuan’s cultivation has progressed rapidly, having previously continuously slain Second Grade Golden Core Gu Xuanfeng and Yin Spirit Giant Ku Quan Hermit on the Life and Death Platform.
So now, his certainty about Gu Yuan grew stronger—this young man is likely a reincarnated Yang Spirit power or even Primordial Spirit True Immortal; otherwise, how could he cultivate so quickly and possess such formidable combat strength?!
The two chatted briefly, yet Xu Haoran’s attitude toward Gu Yuan carried warmth mixed with some reverence. Gu Yuan noticed, but didn’t say much about it.
Next, Gu Yuan asked about Xu Haoran’s purpose.
Xu Haoran didn’t waste words, directly stating, "There’s something I need to remind Brother Chu about; it involves Yuqiao Immortal Palace."
"Oh? Yuqiao Immortal Palace?"
Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, saying, "What are these people up to now?"
Xu Haoran shook his head helplessly and said, "I received word that a significant figure from Yuqiao Immortal Palace contacted a patriarch from Luofu Immortal Island seeking information about you, clearly with ulterior motives. So I came to specifically warn you, so you can be on guard."
"Thanks for the reminder, Brother Xu."
Gu Yuan nodded, acknowledging the favor. Xu Haoran’s meaning was clear: someone from Yuqiao Immortal Palace had their eyes on Gu Yuan and reached out to those on Luofu Immortal Island to inquire about him.
Gu Yuan happened to be on the land of Luofu Immortal Island now. Although he was discreetly hiding, he certainly couldn’t evade everyone on Luofu Immortal Island.
Of course, this was also because Gu Yuan hadn’t completely concealed his identity.
With his Dream Flower Veil capability, if he truly wanted to hide, no one would be able to expose him unless a Yang Spirit power personally intervened.
As for Yuqiao Immortal Palace’s ill intentions...
Gu Yuan didn’t find it odd, nor did he worry too much about it.
After all, he personally killed Gu Xuanfeng earlier, and although the Life and Death Platform’s rules dictate personal responsibility for life and death, letting go of grudges, Yuqiao Immortal Palace’s nature as a great power naturally wouldn’t let it go easily, surely not without making trouble.
Especially since Gu Xuanfeng also had a brother, Gu Xuanqing, who was a First Grade Pill-ranked figure on the Tiger Ranking.
Thus, in reason and emotion, Yuqiao Immortal Palace would think to reclaim the dignity they lost.
If there was a Primordial Spirit True Immortal or a great power like Luofu Immortal Island backing Gu Yuan, Yuqiao Immortal Palace might not act this way.
But now, although Gu Yuan remains a mystery, he hasn’t disclosed his sect or mentors, filling Yuqiao Immortal Palace with fewer hesitations.
Xu Haoran didn’t stay long at Gu Yuan’s place, and soon took his leave.
Gu Yuan escorted him to the door of the Cave Mansion.
Returning to the Cave Mansion, Gu Yuan muttered to himself, "Yuqiao Immortal Palace, huh..."
He shook his head.
No matter what plans they have, soldiers will stop them, water will cover them.
Although he’s currently on Luofu Immortal Island, no one in Luofu Immortal City would dare act recklessly, not even Yuqiao Immortal Palace.
Therefore, here he is safe, with no need to worry about Yuqiao Immortal Palace causing trouble.
Even if some trouble does come, he can easily assume a new identity and avoid it.
Back in the Training Room, Gu Yuan took out a bronze bottle.
The bottle, palm-sized, with a large belly and slender neck, was covered in intricate patterns, with some rust stains indicative of mystery.
It was the very bronze bottle given to him by Yan Chunyang at the auction.
