Chapter 405: Credit for Spiritual Artifacts
Then, Liu Yu used his magical power to re-nurture several commonly used magical artifacts, smoothing them with the power of his breakthrough.
Only then could they unleash greater power.
Afterward, he took out the spiritual herbs harvested from the Qianchang Spiritual Herb Garden, which were not found in the Immortal Abode, and touched the green light point in the Mud Pill Palace with his consciousness.
A familiar sucking sensation came, and everything went dark as he felt the world spin.
When his vision returned, he transformed into a red light ball the size of a human head, appearing within the blue barrier of the Immortal Abode.
Compared to when he was at the mid foundation establishment stage, the red light mass was noticeably larger and its color slightly darker.
However, since it was only a small realm improvement, overall changes were minimal.
In the world of the Immortal Abode, Liu Yu's Primordial Spirit could wander freely without worry of exhaustion.
This allowed him to gain a more intuitive understanding of his Primordial Spirit.
Compared to ordinary cultivators, this was a significant advantage.
After experiencing the changes in his Primordial Spirit for a while, Liu Yu brought the jade box to the black spiritual farmland and planted the spiritual herbs he had harvested from the Qianchang Spiritual Herb Garden.
Currently, there was no shortage of spiritual stones, and he had stored quite a few Dragon Blood Fruits and Star Ripple Fruits, so the black spiritual farmland was barren and had no spiritual herbs planted.
As for the spiritual herbs needed for the future, such as the main and auxiliary herbs for refining the Golden Core Pill, a certain number had already been ripened and stored in the small wooden house.
First, he carefully dug up the soil to plant two auxiliary herbs for the Golden Core Pill, followed by a dozen other spiritual herbs of varying grades.
Finally, he fetched two buckets of spiritual water from the weathered ancient well and poured them over the newly planted herbs.
Liu Yu's movements were very skilled and quick, and in about half a quarter of an hour, all these "delicate" spiritual herbs had been planted.
"Although the Golden Core Pill is for foundation establishment cultivators, it is undoubtedly a third-tier elixir."
"With my current alchemical skills, directly refining the Golden Core Pill after gathering the herbs is still beyond my ability."
"It’s not that I can't force it, but doing so would consume too many spiritual stones."
"It seems that improving my alchemical skills must be put on the agenda."
Looking at the green sprouts gradually emerging from the black spiritual farmland, several thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind as he began to plan for the future.
As for the last auxiliary herb, he didn’t take it to heart.
Times have changed, and with his current strength and status, there are plenty of ways to acquire even a single auxiliary herb for refining the Golden Core Pill.
"Just in time, I've reached the late foundation establishment stage."
"I’ll start improving my alchemical skills by refining the second-tier high-quality 'Ascension Yuan Pill.'"
Floating above the black spiritual farmland, witnessing the sprouting and growth of each spiritual herb, Liu Yu had already made up his mind.
The peak foundation establishment stage is the pinnacle of the late foundation establishment stage.
There is no bottleneck separating the late foundation establishment from the peak foundation establishment; the difference lies only in the accumulation of magical power and cultivation.
However, ordinary cultivators, upon just breaking through to the late foundation establishment stage, have a spiritual consciousness of about seven li, while the peak foundation establishment can reach ten li.
This shows that the accumulation of "quantity" required is considerable, and the gap in strength is significant.
Nevertheless, strictly speaking, both still belong to the same small realm.
Just like when he was at the qi refinement stage, reaching late foundation establishment stage grants qualification to challenge the golden core bottleneck.
