Chapter 93 Han Yi's Path to Core Formation is Long and Arduous; Many Hands Make Light Work
Tuoba Xun'er and Lu Xuefeng were originally focused on their surroundings, their consciousness highly concentrated on potential dangers. When they sensed the terrifying suction force within Han Yi's body and the frenzied surge of spiritual energy, they couldn't help but subconsciously turn their gaze towards Han Yi.
Upon seeing this, the two of them were instantly dumbfounded, as if time had stood still. Tuoba Xun'er's expression changed drastically, and her body trembled involuntarily, as if struck by an invisible and powerful force. Her lips parted slightly, but no sound came out; she could only express her shock through her horrified eyes.
Lu Xuefeng gasped, the chill seeming to freeze his very soul. His eyes widened, almost bulging out of their sockets. His hands instinctively loosened their grip on the weapon, then quickly gripped it again. The shock he felt almost made him lose control of it. His heart skipped a beat for a moment before racing even faster.
The two knew perfectly well that they were already exceptionally talented individuals in their respective sects, having endured countless hardships to reach their current level of cultivation, each having opened more than twenty acupoints. However, the one hundred and eight acupoints that Han Yi was currently displaying were completely beyond their comprehension, making them deeply feel the terrifying and unfathomable nature of Han Yi's talent.
Before even forming his core, he had already opened the legendary 108 acupoints. What kind of monstrous spiritual root could achieve this? It was simply unbelievable to them.
"Is this the legendary prodigy?"
Tuoba Xun'er couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, the admiration they felt for Han Yi was like a surging river, never ending. At the same time, they were also worried about whether Han Yi could withstand such a huge energy impact. That worry was like a dark cloud hanging over their hearts.
At this moment, Wang Weiwei opened her eyes from her meditation and looked at the dozen or so spirit stones around her, only to discover the problem: the spirit stones she had used for her breakthrough had completely lost their spiritual energy, having been drained dry. The culprit was clearly Han Yi, who was standing beside her.
The immense energy surged into Han Yi's body, wreaking havoc within him. The excruciating pain caused his body to tremble slightly, as if a thousand needles were piercing his heart simultaneously. He clenched his teeth tightly, his gums turning white from the force, his teeth chattering, his face drained of color, and sweat poured down his forehead and cheeks, soaking his clothes until they clung tightly to his body as if drenched in water.
Han Yi tried his best to regulate his breathing, attempting to calm the surging spiritual energy within his body. Each breath was extremely difficult. His hands were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and blood slowly seeped from between his fingers, dripping onto the ground. However, he was completely unaware of it, as if the pain in his body could no longer affect his steely will.
An hour later, Han Yi had completely digested all the spiritual energy and slowly opened his eyes.
Despite the massive influx of spiritual energy into Han Yi's body, he showed no signs of forming his core. At this moment, the surrounding atmosphere grew increasingly heavy, as if the air itself had solidified, becoming so oppressive it was almost suffocating. This heaviness not only permeated the air but also weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone watching Han Yi, filling the entire cave with tension and repression.
Han Yi was not discouraged. He carefully took out the two Blood Dragon Ginseng and gently placed them in his palm.
Then, he closed his eyes, concentrated, and circulated his spiritual energy, slowly drawing the Blood Dragon Ginseng's energy into his body. As soon as the Blood Dragon Ginseng's energy entered his body, it surged and roared like a torrent. He focused all his energy on guiding this powerful force, hoping to break through the bottleneck of the Core Formation stage.
However, the result was disappointing. The powerful energy contained in the Blood Dragon Ginseng vanished without a trace, and it still could not help him successfully form his core.
Han Yi fell into deep thought. He gradually realized that perhaps learning from others' experiences was a viable path to successfully form his core. Judging from the various descriptions in cultivation novels, some special techniques could greatly increase the chances of core formation, such as the Yellow Spring Ascension Technique. Unfortunately, he didn't have such a technique at hand at the moment.
Therefore, Han Yi decided to ask Tuoba Xun'er and Lu Xuefeng for their experience in forming the Golden Core. He looked at them expectantly, his eyes revealing eagerness and longing.
After exchanging a glance, Tuoba Xun'er and Lu Xuefeng began to recount their experiences of forming their cores. They both stated that they did not encounter the same situation as Han Yi when forming their cores; they successfully formed their cores relatively smoothly after absorbing sufficient spiritual energy.
Upon hearing this, Han Yi's brows furrowed instantly, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face. He began to pace slowly in place, his mind a jumble of thoughts.
"It seems that the spiritual energy in my dantian is still insufficient to support the formation of the core. I need to desperately absorb spiritual energy to form the core." He muttered to himself.
Just when he was at his wit's end, Tuoba Xun'er seemed to suddenly think of something, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly spoke up.
"Young master, I once obtained a mysterious cultivation technique by chance. It might be useful to you. Why don't you give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Han Yi's eyes, like a star suddenly appearing in the darkness. He said impatiently, "Quick, take it out right away."
His voice carried a hint of urgency and excitement, and his body unconsciously leaned forward.
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Xun'er quickly and carefully handed a small jade pendant hanging around her neck to Han Yi.
"This is it! You can feel it as soon as you hold it in your hand."
Upon hearing this, Han Yi immediately gripped the jade tablet tightly in his hand. Then, he felt several streams of energy, like nimble little snakes, rapidly burrow into his sea of consciousness. "Five Elements Immortal-Connecting Technique!" These words instantly appeared in his mind. Han Yi was overjoyed and quickly calmed himself, carefully studying the text. A focused and absorbed expression gradually appeared on his face, as if he had entered a completely new world, gaining a great deal.
Wang Weiwei successfully formed her core the following day. Unlike Han Yi, who seemed like a bottomless pit requiring massive amounts of resources, she successfully formed her core with just a dozen or so low-grade spirit stones. After her success, her face beamed with joy. She stood up, gently stretched her body, and felt the new power within her, feeling immense delight.
Han Yi's Core Formation was not so smooth. At this moment, he devoted himself to cultivating the Five Elements Immortal Technique. He sat cross-legged in the cave, breathing evenly, and slowly closed his eyes according to the requirements of the technique, concentrating his mind and trying to eliminate all external distractions. His expression was calm, as if the whole world consisted only of himself, and everything around him was irrelevant.
He slowly guided the spiritual energy within his body through his meridians. With each circulation, he could feel a subtle resonance between the spiritual energy and the mysterious aura surrounding him. That mysterious aura seemed to be the spirit of this forest, echoing his spiritual energy. His body trembled slightly, as if engaging in a mysterious and wondrous exchange with the forest. At this moment, he was immersed in the world of cultivation, completely forgetting the passage of time.
While Han Yi was forming his core, Wang Weiwei and the others weren't idle either. They led a small team in a fierce operation in the forest—a frenzied slaughter of ferocious beasts to obtain their inner cores. They traversed the forest, quickly engaging in combat whenever they encountered a beast. Tuoba Xun'er, wielding a longsword, her eyes sharp, charged first at the beasts, her swordsmanship swift and decisive, each move brimming with power. The others also displayed their unique abilities, casting spells or wielding weapons, engaging in a desperate struggle with the beasts. They cooperated seamlessly, supporting each other, all in an effort to obtain as many inner cores as possible, providing greater assistance to Han Yi's path to core formation.
Meanwhile, in order to enhance his spiritual power, Han Yi set up a simple spirit-gathering array in the cave. He carefully placed the spiritual plants and inner cores he had collected from the forest into the array, then sat steadily at the array's core and began cultivating the Five Elements Immortal Cultivation Technique within it.
Under the powerful effect of the Spirit Gathering Array, spiritual energy surged towards him like a raging tide. Han Yi could clearly feel his spiritual power constantly increasing and being refined. A relieved smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he thought to himself, "At this rate, I should be close to Core Formation."
To further accelerate the accumulation of spiritual energy, Han Yi also made full use of his expertise as an alchemist, refining a large quantity of Grade Three Spirit Essence Pills. He busied himself in the alchemy room, meticulously blending various herbs and precisely controlling the heat and refining time. After much effort, one Spirit Essence Pill after another was born in his hands. He consumed these pills without hesitation, using their power to rapidly enhance his spiritual energy.
With the added blessing of the Five Elements Immortal Technique, Han Yi clearly felt his spiritual power rapidly increasing, and there was a faint tendency for his dantian to form a core. He could feel the power within his body constantly gathering, as if a force about to break through was stirring within him.
