Chapter 499 - 268: Cyan Rattan’s Advancement, 9-Leaf Sword Lily
The next day.
Mu Chengsong summoned the Mu Clan Members for a meeting.
Inside the clan’s grand hall, he publicly announced that Li Chang’an was the Mu Family’s new Golden Core Seed!
Everyone had anticipated this, so it came as no surprise. They all offered their congratulations.
That evening.
Mu Song summoned Li Chang’an again, still intending to lecture him on matters of cultivation.
This time, he spoke about his own experiences with Core Formation.
"Back then, my talent was extraordinary, and my strength far surpassed my peers. I was brimming with confidence before my Core Formation, thinking I could form a True Pill, or perhaps even an Immortal Golden Core. But how could the Golden Core Dao be so easy?"
Mu Song sighed, his voice tinged with regret.
With a world-weary voice, he detailed the mistakes he had made during his Core Formation, hoping Li Chang’an wouldn’t repeat them.
On the path to Core Formation, a single misstep could lead to a lifetime of regret.
"With your talent, you have a chance to form a True Pill in the future. I don’t want you to follow the wrong path as I did..."
He spoke for several hours, and before they knew it, the night had grown late.
Li Chang’an listened with rapt attention.
If there was anything he didn’t understand, he would immediately ask.
After all, he truly did not want to go down the wrong path.
If he carelessly took the path of the Fake Pill, his cultivation journey would be cut short.
In the current Cultivation Immortality Realm, there was no method to achieve a Shattered Pill and recultivate. A Fake Pill Cultivator would be trapped in that realm for their entire life.
Mu Song’s lecture was so meticulous and detailed that it was as if Li Chang’an had personally experienced the entire process from beginning Core Formation to condensing a Fake Pill. He benefited greatly from it.
After listening, Li Chang’an bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
"No need to thank me. It was merely a discussion of my experiences."
Mu Song shook his head slightly and sent out a wave of Magical Power to help him up.
He told Li Chang’an that from now on, if he encountered anything he didn’t understand in his cultivation, he could come find him at any time, regardless of their respective statuses.
He had lived long enough, trained countless disciples of the Mu Family, and accumulated a vast amount of cultivation experience, making him quite the master teacher.
Furthermore, if Li Chang’an urgently needed a Treasure but lacked the contribution points, he could also ask him to exchange for it.
Hearing this, an idea sparked in Li Chang’an’s mind.
He immediately said, "Ancestor, there are a few Treasures I would like to have."
"Speak. What Treasures are they?"
"Thousand-Year Blood Pattern Wood, Blood Cloud Vine, and Fire Flood Dragon Flower."
Li Chang’an named the last three Spirit Plants he needed for his Body Refinement.
After listening, Mu Song didn’t ask any questions. His figure flickered and vanished on the spot.
A moment later, he returned to the courtyard and handed three Jade Boxes to Li Chang’an.
Inside the Jade Boxes were the exact three Spirit Plants Li Chang’an had just mentioned, and in generous quantities.
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
A look of joy spread across Li Chang’an’s face as he immediately accepted the three Treasures.
He knew his strategy of becoming a Golden Core Seed had been absolutely correct.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to obtain these Tier Three Spirit Plants so easily.
Mu Song smiled and asked him, "Is there anything else you need?"
Li Chang’an immediately replied, "Ancestor, I wish to obtain the Tier Three Spirit Plant and Tier Three Spirit Doctor inheritances."
"You are already the Mu Family’s Golden Core Seed. You can go and retrieve those two inheritances at any time. However, it is best to specialize in one; do not be too greedy."
"Rest assured, Ancestor. I understand."
Through their conversation, Li Chang’an learned that his current status was even higher than that of the current Mu Family Patriarch, second only to the Fake Pill Ancestor, Mu Song.
Whether it was the Library Pavilion or the Mu Family Treasure Vault, he had the authority to view their entire contents.
After leaving the courtyard, he hurried to the Mu Family Treasure Vault.
This time, Li Chang’an saw even more precious Treasures.
However, he still didn’t find the Tier Three Dragon Beast Essence Blood he wanted, though there was Essence Blood from several other types of Tier Three Demon Beasts.
Additionally, there were more Treasures for Core Formation.
Although there were no Five Elements Golden Condensation Pills, there was a relatively gentle Demon Pill from a Tier Three Wood Demon King.
If he used this Demon Pill to refine a Five Elements Golden Condensation Pill, Li Chang’an was somewhat confident he could produce one of ordinary quality.
’This Demon Pill can be a backup option,’ Li Chang’an mused.
’If I can’t find a better Treasure in the future, I’ll use this Demon Pill to refine a Gold Condensing Pill.’
’I already have a fifty percent chance of success in Core Formation on my own. Add twenty percent from an ordinary Gold Condensing Pill and another ten percent from the Profound Jade Marrow, and that’s a full eighty percent success rate. It’s almost impossible to fail.’
Although it wasn’t a hundred percent, it was still remarkably high.
However, Li Chang’an planned to aim for an even higher chance if possible.
In any case, while the Mu Family Treasure Vault hadn’t given him any surprises, it hadn’t disappointed him either. It gave him the option of refining a Gold Condensing Pill.
Afterward, he went to the Library Pavilion.
This time, the clan elder guarding the Library Pavilion did not stop him at all, presenting the entire collection of the pavilion before his eyes.
He immediately exchanged for the Tier Three Middle Grade Spirit Plant inheritance and the Tier Three Low Grade Spirit Doctor inheritance.
’I finally got them!’ Li Chang’an was overjoyed.
His entire reason for entering the Mu Family was for their Spirit Plant inheritance.
He had coveted this inheritance for many years, and now his wish was finally fulfilled.
He didn’t leave in a hurry, instead looking around at the remaining collection in the Library Pavilion.
’The Mu Family has a thousand-year legacy, after all. They should have some Celestial Grade Cultivation Techniques and Magic,’ he thought.
As expected, he soon found two heavily protected Jade Scrolls in the deepest part of the Library Pavilion.
Within one of the Jade Scrolls was a Celestial Grade Wood Element Cultivation Method.
If one cultivated this technique to the Foundation Establishment Peak, they could accumulate 341 drops of Liquid Magical Power, which just barely crossed the threshold for a Celestial Grade Technique.
’Although this technique can’t compare to the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique, it’s still quite impressive. It might be useful in the future.’
Li Chang’an had no plans to switch his Cultivation Technique for now; after all, the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique was practically perfect.
However, the version of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique he possessed only covered the first three realms. It ended at the Golden Core Peak, with no path forward.
