Chapter 402 - 303: Consuming the Vermilion Fruit, Swordlight Array Evolution!
Chapter 402: Chapter 303: Consuming the Vermilion Fruit, Swordlight Array Evolution!
Zhang Guangcheng worried for a long time, never expecting that Gu Yuan would ultimately choose the Recurrent Mending Gold Seal!
As an Elder of the Scripture Hall, he had a rough understanding of all the Dharma Seals within the hall.
In the hall, if one were to say which Dharma Seal required the most expensive spiritual materials, without a doubt, it would be the Recurrent Mending Gold Seal!
The spiritual material needed for this seal is an undamaged Golden Seal!
A Golden Seal, which a Golden Core cultivator may only obtain one of in a lifetime.
How precious is that?!
Even though the Zhang Family has a great house and vast business, with a legacy spanning thousands of years, except for Golden Core cultivators who died outside, and Golden Seals already refined, now the Zhang Family treasure vault only has two Golden Seals left.
Those are the very assets that keep the Zhang Family’s name from falling!
It’s important to know that the Thousand Waves Sect, from time to time, has Core Formation Spirit Objects born, and the method of granting these spirit objects is Magical Combat!
Whoever can win will be granted the spirit object.
And the reason the Zhang Family can produce numerous Golden Core cultivators is largely thanks to the Golden Seals!
With talented disciples in the clan refining Golden Seals, coupled with various methods inherited by the Zhang Family, how can mere Humble Lineage disciples or small noble families compete?
Such a treasure, is it truly intended to be given to Gu Yuan?
Zhang Guangcheng was unsettled in his heart and forced a smile as he said, "Junior Brother Gu, is it possible that the Golden Seal is damaged? This method is extremely difficult to cultivate and depends greatly on fortune. According to my view, wouldn’t it be better to choose another method?"
"This method is quite important to me. Please, Senior Brother Zhang, put in more effort!"
But Gu Yuan merely shook his head with a smile and immediately rejected Zhang Guangcheng’s suggestion.
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Guangcheng was slightly angry but still pondered and said, "If that’s the case, could you allow me some time? I’ll clean up the treasure vault and find a suitable Golden Seal to send to you!"
Gu Yuan had a tall stature, standing on flat ground, was a head taller than Zhang Guangcheng. At this moment, looking down from above, his eyes seemed to flash with thunder as he spoke clearly, "Senior brother must not go back on your word!"
"Of course, of course!"
Zhang Guangcheng quickly responded.
"Since that’s the case, I shall not disturb Senior Brother as you gather spiritual materials. I’ll first return to the palace to cultivate!"
Hearing these words, Gu Yuan did not press too much, bid farewell, nodded slightly to Ding Zhichong, and then set up Escape Light to fly towards the Thousand Waves Sect palace prepared for him.
Ding Zhichong’s expression changed, seemingly wanting to remind something, but Gu Yuan had already transformed into light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
...
...
Regarding the Zhang Family’s matter, Gu Yuan had already planned in his heart.
The most urgent thing now is to quickly improve his strength.
Sitting on the meditation cushion in the Quiet Chamber, he slightly breathed in, collected his heart and spirit, and then took out the Blood Sandalwood Vermilion Fruit.
Fist-sized red fruit, crystal clear, emitting a layer of blood-colored halo, not demonic, but instead with a gem-like strange luster, very beautiful.
"Let me give you a bit more time!"
Gu Yuan murmured to himself, then did not transform into Dragon Body, but instead, with his human form, opened his mouth to chew and swallowed the Blood Sandalwood Vermilion Fruit.
This fruit had no seeds, and Gu Yuan just gently took a couple of bites before it transformed into a ball of blood-colored light stream that fell into his abdomen.
"Boom!"
In an instant, Gu Yuan’s skin swelled, and it seemed that blood was seeping from within his surface layer, causing his whole body to expand rapidly.
The violent power of the Vermilion Fruit, like a raging dragon, rampaged within him, trying to burst him apart.
To refine dozens of strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power in one breath, this Exotic Fruit is indeed extraordinary, Gu Yuan felt like he might explode at any moment.
"Hoo!"
But he merely took a deep breath, and the massive Golden Core vibrated slightly, a huge suction force began to draw in and gather this massive medicinal power.
In just a moment, Gu Yuan’s swollen body returned to normal, but a layer of blood-colored halo, like a cocoon, tightly wrapped him within.
The whole grand hall became silent instantly.
Only the soft sound of breathing could be heard.
Each time the breathing sound arose, the thickness of the blood-colored cocoon thinned by a fraction, and the aura within the cocoon grew stronger.
After half a month, the blood-colored cocoon completely dissipated.
Gu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliant invisible light flashed from them, making the whole grand hall seem as if illuminated by lightning, brightening abruptly, and then returning to peace once again.
"It’s worthy of being the Exotic Fruit contested by two factions, its medicinal power is indeed extraordinary..."
Feeling the surging and turbulent Mana within him, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
This Blood Sandalwood Vermilion Fruit increased his Gold-Attribute Magical Power by forty strands!
Now, his Mana surged again, leaving him only twenty strands short of the five hundred strands threshold for Mid-Stage Golden Core.
So close.
Especially with Gu Yuan having Dragon Body Transformation, as long as he acquires some resources, he can certainly accumulate the twenty strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power!
"Come here!"
He pondered slightly for a moment, not rushing, and instead called out toward the hall’s entrance.
"Salutations to the Ascendant!"
A mermaid with Foundation Establishment cultivation level approached from afar, saluting Gu Yuan.
"I have a letter here. Please deliver it to the Zhang Family."
With a casual wave, Gu Yuan completed the writing of a letter, then handed it to the mermaid to send.
This mermaid was arranged by the Zhang Family, she naturally knew where the Zhang Family was located, seeing Gu Yuan’s instructions, dared not delay, took the letter and set up waves to quickly head toward the Zhang Family.
Gu Yuan then closed his eyes for adjustment and rest.
Before long, the mermaid hurriedly returned, delivering a letter to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan opened it and glanced through, seeing a long section of densely written earnest words.
But when summed up, they were merely several words: still gathering, Junior Brother do not worry.
Though Gu Yuan had expected this in his heart, when it truly happened, he still couldn’t help but shake his head and say, "To be so unwise, how can one form a core?"
