CHAPTER 418: Secret Transaction
This old demon Qingyang is still young but has quite a reputation. After all, he is one of the outstanding foundation establishment cultivators within the Yuan Yang Sect.
Like myself, he must also want to go further on the immortal path.
Putting myself in his shoes, Song Haocang is quite confident that the other party will surely be tempted by the news of the “Three Primordial Fruits” and will not miss this opportunity.
“Friend Qingyang, all I ask is that you secretly let me pass.”
“In return, I will faithfully provide the news of the Three Primordial Fruits.”
Seeing the pressure lessen, Song Haocang felt a surge of joy and took the chance to transmit his thoughts.
Although the “Three Primordial Fruits,” being the first core formation spirit object from ancient times, is incredibly precious and has miraculous effects, it is a coveted item for countless foundation establishment cultivators.
However, it is merely a piece of information for now, not something in hand.
When compared to one’s life and possessions, the weight of importance is evident; even though he feels reluctant, he has no choice but to let go.
“Oh?”
“The Three Primordial Fruits are the first core formation spirit object from ancient times. Ever since the spiritual energy in the cultivation world began to decline after the ancient great war, they have gradually become extinct.”
“By the time of the Middle Ages to the Near Ancient period, they had completely disappeared.”
“How would Liu know that, my friend, you are not fabricating a lie out of desperation due to a threat to your life?!”
While manipulating the magical artifact, Liu Yu subtly increased his strength and asked expressionlessly.
Although he expressed skepticism, he was already intrigued deep down.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be willing to listen to this person’s “nonsense” amidst such a fierce duel of magic.
Currently, in the cultivation world, there are no rumors about the Three Primordial Fruits, at least not in Tian Nan.
Liu Yu learned about this spirit object from ancient texts.
For a cultivator to condense a golden core, the key lies in “essence, qi, and spirit.”
Generally speaking, the higher these three aspects, the greater the chance of successfully condensing a golden core.
However, it doesn’t mean that higher is always better.
If one aspect of essence, qi, or spirit far exceeds the other two, it can lead to an imbalance.
And once the three become unbalanced, although it is unlikely to affect the success rate of condensing the golden core, it will severely impact the quality of the golden core.
Once unbalanced, it almost invariably means the possibility of forming a superior grade golden core is lost, and at best, one would end up with a middle-grade golden core of the sixth rank.
The Three Primordial Fruits, however, not only greatly enhance all three aspects but fundamentally strengthens the foundation, increasing the chances of golden core formation without any hidden dangers.
They can also briefly connect the three aspects, allowing them to transform into one another for a short period, achieving the most perfect “balance.”
This greatly increases the quality of the condensed golden core and significantly reduces the hardships on the future path, paving a smooth road for the immortal way.
Essence, qi, and spirit were referred to as “Essence Yuan, Qi Yuan, and Spirit Yuan” by ancient cultivators.
The name “Three Primordial Fruits” also comes from this.
It is precisely because of such miraculous and extraordinary effects that the Three Primordial Fruits are called the first core formation spirit object from ancient times.
Nowadays, the golden core pills in the cultivation world can indeed greatly enhance the chances of forming a golden core, but they do not improve the quality of the golden core.
So, by comparison, they are far inferior.
However, for ordinary cultivators, both are very distant things.
Flashes of the information about the “Three Primordial Fruits” crossed Liu Yu's mind, igniting a fierce passion within him. He knew it was very likely a lie, yet he could not suppress his curiosity.
