Asura Continent

When Dong Ling Er heard this, she immediately became anxious. She quickly pulled Lu Yang's hand and fawningly said, "Don't. Just take it as a joke. Your excellency doesn't care about vile people. Don't lower yourself to me."

Lu Yang slapped the storage pouch on his waist and took out a box of Spirit Sealing Wood. He passed it to Dong Ling'er and said, "This is a Water Attribute Spirit Formation Pill. Take a look and see if there are any problems."

The wooden box was square and exquisite, like a jewel box.

Dong Ling Er didn't immediately open the wooden box. Instead, she looked at the bottom of the box and exclaimed, "This Spirit Formation Pill was purchased from the Eight Treasures Pavilion?"

Lu Yang didn't expect Dong Ling'er to be this surprised, but he still nodded and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Lu Yang, just how much money do you have?" Dong Ling'er was surprised, and then she slowly said, "Among all the shops in the South Sea, the Eight Treasures Pavilion has the best medicine and the most expensive ones. Let's just talk about the Spirit Forming Pill! The Soulseal wooden box outside is priceless; it can't be bought even with tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. "

Lu Yang didn't expect Dong Ling Er to be so interested in alchemy. If he told her that he didn't take a single cent from her, she definitely wouldn't believe him. If he told her that he spent a lot of spirit stones, it wouldn't be likely. After thinking for a while, he decided to speak the truth and said, "Do you remember the Face Preserving Pill I gave you?"

Dong Ling Er nodded in understanding. "You used the Face Preserving Pill to exchange for this pill?"

"En!" Lu Yang nodded, afraid that she would continue to ask. "If there's nothing else, I'll go back and cultivate."

Dong Ling'er had a belly full of questions. How could she let Lu Yang leave? She hurriedly asked, "Tell me first, what else did you change other than this pill?"

"These are all the pills I need. There's no point in telling you." Lu Yang didn't say much and stood up to leave.

Dong Ling'er was instantly displeased. She hurriedly stood up and threatened, "If you dare to leave, I'll take off my clothes in front of you. Let's see if you dare to leave?"

Lu Yang hated people who threatened him the most. His face darkened as he said, "You can take it off!"

When Dong Ling'er saw that this trick wasn't working, she quickly gave up and said, "Lu Yang, do you remember what you promised me?"

"What is it?" Lu Yang had already walked to the entrance of the abode, but he still stopped when he was about to leave.

Without even looking back, Lu Yang walked out of the cave and said, "You promised me that you would help me absorb the medicinal properties of this pill."

"You're about to break through to the Core Formation stage?" Lu Yang tried sensing Dong Ling'er's cultivation. She had also reached the great circle of the late Foundation Establishment stage and could break through at any time.

Dong Ling Er nodded and said slowly, "That's right! In the past, I did not want to cultivate because there was no Spirit Pill. Now that I have the pill, I can't wait anymore. "

Lu Yang is a very principled person, he would definitely do what he promised so he said: "Alright! I'll help you absorb the medicinal properties of the pill. "

Dong Ling'er excitedly threw herself into Lu Yang's embrace and kissed him on the cheek. "Lu Yang, thank you so much."

Lu Yang wiped the saliva off his face and said with a wry smile, "Just thank me in the future, don't be so proactive."

Dong Ling Er's face reddened as she rolled her eyes at Lu Yang. She grumbled, "You took advantage of the situation and ridiculed me. You guys are getting worse with each other."

"If you think I'm bad, I'll leave now." Lu Yang turned around, showing an expression as if he was ready to leave.

Dong Ling'er moved in a flash in front of Lu Yang to block his path. "Don't go, I was wrong just now. I like it when you ridiculed me the most. You said you cared about me just because you mocked me."

"..."

Lu Yang was speechless. What kind of logic was this? Perhaps only this girl could figure it out.

Dong Ling Er sat cross-legged on the prayer mat. She opened the medicine box, took out the Spirit Formation Pill, and immediately swallowed it.

The spiritual energy in the cave was too sparse, it wasn't suitable for cultivation, and breaking through was even more difficult.

What Lu Yang wanted to do was to increase the amount of spiritual energy in the cave. He saw Dong Ling Er entering cultivation and did not sense the situation around her. With a thought, he connected with the Nine Mystical Jade Wall and quickly absorbed the energy. In the next moment, Lu Yang transformed this energy into spiritual energy and released it through his body, turning it into pure spiritual energy and dispersing it in the air.

Once spiritual energy was converted to spiritual energy, many energies would dissipate during the conversion process. This was not something a normal cultivator would do. After all, the consumption of spiritual energy was too great. Most of the time, cultivators would directly send their spiritual energy into their opponents' bodies, but directly absorbing it would be troublesome, and the easiest method was to dual cultivate. However, with their current relationship, they naturally couldn't use it.

As Lu Yang possessed the supreme treasure, the Nine Mystical Jade Wall, he was not worried about how much energy he had lost. The energy within his body was constantly being replenished and released through his body. The spirit energy in the cave became denser and denser. After two hours, the spirit energy here was comparable to the spirit energy in the mountains and rivers of the Western Chu Nation.

Since she had already done what she needed to do, Dong Ling Er's cultivation became much easier. She only needed to absorb the spiritual energy in the air and transform it into spiritual energy before entering her dantian. Because the spiritual power within the cave was too pure, Dong Ling'er's transformation speed was extremely fast. The Spirit Formation Pill's medicinal properties were quickly used up. Afterwards, it formed a spiritual circulation and entered the dantian to solidify the liquid spiritual energy.

It was unknown how much time had passed. Perhaps it was two hours, or perhaps it was a day.

The spirit energy in the cave became denser and denser. If one were to sense it carefully, they would see a huge amount of spirit energy emitting from Dong Ling Er's body and floating around the cave. Not only that, Dong Ling Er's body even started to emit a blue stream of light from which countless water droplets could be vaguely seen.

"Water droplet illusion!"

That's right, this was a sign before the Core Formation stage. Once the drop of water appears, as long as the spiritual energy in the cave is dense enough, then unless there is a special reason, it is possible to reach Core Formation. If a cultivator succeeds in forming their core and has a single spiritual root, they can break through into the Core Formation stage and become a powerful Core Formation cultivator.

The solidified spirit liquid within Dong Ling Er's body slowly condensed into a palm-sized round body that emitted a sky blue light. This was the core inside a cultivator's body. Different cultivators with different attributes would form their own core. Metal element cultivators would form their core, water element cultivators would form their core, yellow element cultivators would form their core, and so on.

The process of condensing a spiritual pill was very slow, and the amount of spiritual energy it could absorb was unimaginable. It was still better to have a single spiritual root; the more spiritual roots one had, the more terrifying the spiritual energy one could absorb after breaking through the Core Formation stage. It was said that the Three Spiritual Roots could absorb all the Spiritual Qi on a mountain, but no one knew how much it was. Just thinking about it made them terrified.

However, Dong Ling Er was lucky because she had met Lu Yang. Lu Yang's spiritual energy was constantly being discharged into the cave and she only needed to absorb it. After cultivating for an unknown amount of time, Dong Ling Er's body trembled and her absorption of spiritual energy suddenly stopped. He could vaguely see countless blue dots of light floating around her body before disappearing into her body.

This blue dot of light was actually the purest form of spiritual energy. It was a natural phenomenon that only occurred when one broke through from the Core Formation Stage. When all the blue dots of light entered Dong Ling'er's body, she closed her eyes and slowly opened them. She looked no different from before, but the feeling she gave off was completely different.

When Lu Yang felt this pressure, his body tightened and he subconsciously increased his vigilance.

Dong Ling'er woke up completely from her cultivation. When she saw Lu Yang's nervous expression, she hurriedly withdrew her oppressive aura and said, "Lu Yang, I just broke through. Am I a Core Formation cultivator now?"

"Hm!" "You broke through." Lu Yang calculated the time; it took less than ten days for a single cultivator with spiritual roots to break through. Thinking about how long it would take him to break through with his nine major attributes and how much spiritual energy he would need, he felt a little helpless.

Dong Ling'er was really too excited. She really wanted to hug Lu Yang and cheer, but she knew that Lu Yang did not like it. She said, "About that, help me bathe."

"Ga!"

Lu Yang was stunned and said, "What did you say?"

"I didn't mean that." Dong Ling'er's face reddened. "Just like last time. Help me get some hot water before you turn around."

Lu Yang heaved a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid of this girl. He nodded and said, "Alright!"

Two hours later, Dong Ling Er changed into a clean set of clothes and sat down next to Lu Yang. "Lu Yang, thank you for helping me break through. I will never forget you."

Lu Yang waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter. You don't need to remember that I'm not your husband for the rest of my life."

"Not now, but maybe in the future!" Dong Ling Er chuckled. Then, she thought of something. "Do you want me to help you increase your cultivation?"

"You're helping me?" Lu Yang smiled bitterly and said, "You can't even understand what you're cultivating, and you can even help me increase my cultivation?"

Dong Ling Er nodded her head and said seriously, "Don't forget that I'm a virgin. If I help you increase your cultivation, you'll definitely be able to break through."

"No need, I'll just cultivate by myself." Lu Yang also wanted to go back and swallow the Spirit Forming Pill and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Dong Ling Er's brows twitched. She really wanted to ask Lu Yang to stay. "That's right, last time you successfully formed your core, why haven't you reached the Core Formation stage? Could it be that you're a multi-attribute cultivator?" With that, she felt that something was wrong and continued to ask: "Lu Yang, since you have Heaven's End Spiritual Root, how did you manage to form a water attributed Spiritual Pill?"

This was a huge secret, one that only Lu Yang knew. He didn't want to tell Dong Ling'er, but after thinking about how much this girl knew, he knew that she might be able to help him. Lu Yang was silent for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I used a secret technique to form a core. And this secret technique requires me to form nine Aurous Cores of different attributes."

Dong Ling Er's eyes widened as she looked at Lu Yang as if he was a monster. After a long while, she said, "What did you say? You want to form a pellet with nine different attributes?"

Lu Yang nodded his head and said, "Do you have a good idea?"

"Lu Yang, you've simply gone mad. This is simply impossible. Your time has been wasted." Dong Ling'er felt that it was impossible for Lu Yang to break through to the Core Formation stage so she tried to persuade him, "How about this? I will help you find out how to form a Core Formation Stage with the Heaven's End Spiritual Root."

Lu Yang didn't answer immediately. He pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it. You better not leave the island, or else I'll come find you if something happens to you."

"Then …" Dong Ling'er was about to speak, but Lu Yang didn't interrupt her.

Lu Yang stood up. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "I need to cultivate for a few days. I'll leave the matters on Rogue Cultivator Island to you for now."
