Ancestor Above

Logically speaking, she should have told many people and then ensured that she was given a stable environment to cultivate and strive for success.

However, with the current situation within the sect, keeping it a secret was a better choice.

As her husband, Lu chaoxi naturally had to stand guard outside.

As for hai Sande, as his master, he had to come as well. However, after thinking about it, he decided not to. If he made a move, the entire sect would know that Li Yanling was about to break through to the Golden core stage.

Of course, he wouldn’t really just ignore it.

Hai Sande’s cultivation place was not too far from Li Yanling’s cave. As long as he didn’t enter a state of cultivation and focused on releasing his divine sense, he would be able to sense the situation on Li Yanling’s side.

For this reason, hai Sande even announced that he was going to start a closed-door training to study a cultivation method. This news was even leaked out. In fact, he was secretly releasing his divine sense to pay attention to the situation on his disciple’s side.

Hai Changsheng was still a little unhappy about this. They were fighting for control of the trade with Xue state. Why didn’t lu chaoxi care? Also, why is the family’s ancestor going into seclusion?

Of course, no one explained this to him.

As for Lu Qing, he was also very concerned about Li Yanling’s breakthrough.

As long as she could reach the Golden core stage, the strength of the land-sea Alliance would become unprecedentedly powerful, and the line of the sect leader would be completely suppressed. Before Kong Tong advanced to the nascent Soul Stage, their sect leader’s line would definitely have no chance of turning the tables.

However, Lu Qing did not have anything that he could use to help.

There was indeed a four-star bottleneck-breaking option in the exchange tab he had now. However, this bottleneck-breaking option was only an ordinary one. It was useful for golden core cultivators. It could help golden core cultivators to break through their bottlenecks. However, it was of no help to the breakthrough of a major realm.

It did not seem to be possible for this exchange option to be of any use in the short term. Lu Qing suddenly thought that he could use it himself!

His recent cultivation had been stuck at the peak of the sixth-stage golden core realm and he couldn’t go further. Previously, he did not feel any sense of urgency. With the system’s support, his cultivation speed was extremely fast. If he spent more time grinding, he would be able to grind it out.

If there was such an exchange option, with a little enhancement, he might break through immediately.

Speaking of which, he had never really exchanged for these exchange options for himself.

“I don’t know if I can change it.”

......

After Li Yanling had begun her attempt to break through, Lu Qing had stayed inside and watched for a while. After making sure that this young lady was on the right path, he had run out to the outside world to monitor Yun Xuan, Kong Tong, and the other important people of the sect leader’s faction. He had to make sure that they would not come to cause trouble. Even if they knew that Li Yanling was about to break through, Lu Qing would have sent a message to Lu chaoxi in advance and asked him to contact hai Sande so that they could make preparations first.

In reality, Lu Qing also knew that the risks involved would not be too great. Now that Li Yanling had already formed an external elixir, the raw rice was already cooked. Moreover, the probability of her forming the Golden elixir was also very high. No matter how crazy Kong Tong was, he would not be so ruthless at this time.

After all, they were from the same sect.

Based on Kong Tong’s sect’s philosophy, it was a good thing to have another golden core cultivator in the sect. Even if this golden core cultivator was not the one he liked, it was better than nothing.

As for whether this new golden core cultivator would go against him in the future, he probably didn’t even think about it.

Of course, Lu Qing had to ensure this. Not only did he have to ensure that Li Yanling would oppose Kong Tong in the future, he also had to try his best to worsen the relationship between hai Sande and Kong Tong.

If not, how could the Lu clan control the entire state through the Qingfeng sect?

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, so I’m the villain behind all these schemes! I’m really a bad person!”

......

The results of Lu Qing’s investigation were pretty good.

Kong Tong was still his old self, cultivating in his quiet room. On the other hand, Zhenren yunxuan was fighting with hai Changsheng in a battle of wits and courage. He even took advantage of this opportunity to rope in some cultivators of the hai family. Both sides were fighting so hard that their dog brains were about to burst.

They didn’t notice that Li Yanling had already broken through to the Golden core stage.

This was pretty good.

The time needed to break through to Jindan was quite long, at least two months of closed-door cultivation was necessary-of course, most of the cultivators who tried to break through to Jindan did not need that long at all, they usually failed on the first stage.

To reach the Aurous core stage, there were two major barriers.

The first was to compress all the spiritual power in one’s body to the dantian and form a golden core.

The second way was to convert the compressed spirit energy into true essence, which would then fill the whole body and complete the sublimation of the cultivator’s power.

The Golden core stage was the beginning of the second major stage on the road of cultivation, which was fundamentally different from the initial enlightenment stage.

Before reaching Jindan, no matter if it was Qi refining, foundation building, or initial enlightenment, the power used was still spiritual power. After reaching Jindan stage, the power that a cultivator could control would be upgraded from spirit power to true essence.

These were two different types of power. True essence was far more condensed and of a higher grade than spirit power.

Most of the cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage failed at the first stage when they tried to break through to the Golden core stage. How difficult was it to compress all the Ling power in one’s body and condense it into a solid golden core the size of a pigeon’s egg? If the spiritual power in one’s body wasn’t strong enough, or if the cultivator’s control was a little wrong, it would often cause very serious consequences, ranging from serious injuries to death.

One had to know that under the circumstances where the failure of a breakthrough would have very serious consequences, those who dared to make a breakthrough were often people who had a certain level of confidence in their own strength and were more or less certain. Even so, 80% of the people had fallen at this stage, which showed how difficult it was.

However, this did not mean that the second stage was easy to pass.

On the contrary, 80 to 90 percent of the cultivators who passed the first round fell in the second round.

After all, the true essence of breaking through to the Aurous core stage was to squeeze out the true essence from the Aurous core. This involved the sublimation of one’s strength, and the difficulty was even higher.

Once they failed, all their previous efforts would be in vain. The collapse of the Golden core would have an even greater impact on the cultivator’s body, and the death rate would be two or three times higher than the first stage.

However, then again, a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage was also considered quite powerful in the cultivation world. For example, in the Feiyun state, he could even be considered a Lord. They were usually able to find many natural treasures to assist in their breakthroughs. One hundred thousand spirit stones could increase the chances of breaking through and reduce the side effects of failure. Usually, one failure would not lead to true death.

As for the iron-headed boy Huahua, who had broken through without any preparation, it would depend on whether his head was really iron enough.

As for Li Yanling’s body, the external pill that she had refined in advance would be of great help in these two stages!
