I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

This was the first time something unexpected appeared in his skill column. It was no longer a beginner-level skill, but rather a new term.

Completion rate.

Moreover, the sword technique that was reflected back from the Chi Xiao Sword Mountain was marked with the [Incomplete] tag, which was something Han Yi had not expected.

“Completion rate 0/9? It seems that the Departing Fire Sword Formula of the Return to the Truth level is not enough to meet the requirements of this sword technique.”

“Nine different attributes, and the sword secret must be trained to a very high level. The prerequisite is too difficult, at least not possible in the Golden Core Stage. I don’t know if there is a slight chance at the Nascent Soul Stage, and if not, then perhaps at the Spirit Transformation stage?”

Han Yi couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

This sword technique was already going against the natural order. For the current Han Yi, it was still too far away. He could only put it on the shelf for now, and wait until he breaks through to a higher realm before he could possibly cultivate it.

After reading the last line, Han Yi looked at the realm column again.

[Realm: Foundation Building late stage (98/100)].

At this moment, it was time for him to form the Golden Core.

At the same time,

The outside matters were resolved, and Han Yi was ready to advance to the Golden Core Stage.

He first took out the Spirit Gathering Array from his Qiankun Ring, put it around him, and then took out a thousand high-grade spirit stones, as well as the Exorcise Evil Spirits Pills distributed by the sect to cultivators in the Foundation Building late stage.

This time, the Exorcise Evil Spirits Pill was refined by the Supreme Elder Huo Ming, who had the Abyss Fire Fining Pot. The Exorcise Evil Spirits Pill had reached the flawless quality level and was enough to deal with a major Heavenly Demon equivalent to Foundation Establishment stage, or even if a Heavenly Demon King equivalent to the Golden Core Stage descended, as long as it was not too powerful, it could be dealt with.

Han Yi spent extra money to buy a bottle of the flawless quality exorcise evil spirits pill.

To him, spirit stones were secondary. Breaking through was the most important thing.

Next,

He cleared his miscellaneous thoughts, calmed his heart, and adjusted his state to its best.

One month later,

In the Azure Dragon Palace, within the Spirit-Killing Illusion Array, Han Yi opened his eyes, and his eyes were calm and waveless.

With a flick of his hand, a thousand high-grade spirit stones in the Spirit Gathering Array were partially shattered, and a rich spirit energy that exceeded the Fifth-stage Spiritual Vein was bound by the Spirit Gathering Array within a three-meter radius of Han Yi. Some of the spirit energy turned into spirit liquid and fell on Han Yi’s body, seeping into his body, causing his magical power to slowly and steadily increase.

Three days later,

In his Spirit Sea, the tide of magical power had already reached its limit. The entire Spirit Sea faintly sensed this limit, but the spirit energy was still being crazily absorbed, making the sea of magical power even denser.

Seven days later,

In the most important position of the Spirit Sea, an irregular magical power crystal the size of a fingernail appeared for the first time.

In an instant,

The entire sea of magical power, which had been expanded to the extreme and was filled to the brim, seemed to have found an outlet for venting and began to crazily pour into this irregular crystal.

One month later,

The crystal had become the size of a fist and had changed from an irregular shape to a spherical one. However, its color was still grayish-white.

The embryonic form of the Golden Core.

Three months later,

In the very center of the Spirit Sea, the Golden Core had transformed, changing from being grayish-white to gradually changing color as it gathered countless magical powers. In the end, it became completely golden.

Five months later,

Han Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, trembled all over as his mind fell into the Spirit Sea.

We see the Golden Core that had been floating in the Spirit Sea suddenly rise and eventually hover in the air above the Spirit Sea. The golden core, the size of a fist, emitted a strong golden light, and if enlarged ten thousand times, its surface was still smooth and flawless.

Indeed,

A Golden Core birthed from the Spirit Sea allows one to defy fate.

Han Yi, who was sitting on the ground, trembled slightly and then rose into the air, three feet off the ground without the aid of any magical tools.

At the same time,

There were two changes in Han Yi’s body.

The first change was that his Spirit Sea began to expand vertically, increasing its height by more than twice, gradually reaching toward the Sea of Consciousness.

The second change occurred after the Golden Core was formed. The originally thin sea of magical power suddenly sank down – no, not sinking, but starting to change from liquid magical power to a semi-fluid form.

The change in the form of the magical power within the Spirit Sea made the magical power thicker and at the same time reduced its volume by several times. It looked as if it was sinking.

These two changes, along with the birth of the Golden Core, were the Three Transformations of the Spirit Sea.

Boom!

At the moment when the internal Spirit Sea changes were completed,

Han Yi sensed a dark crack leading to the Outer World suddenly open beside him.

He knew that the Heavenly Demon was coming.

When breaking through to the Golden Core Stage,

The three transformations of the Spirit Sea and the Three Tribulations of the Golden Core did not include Heavenly Demon Calamity because the Heavenly Demon Calamity was experienced by cultivators at every stage of their progress and was self-evident.

Han Yi had taken two full bottles of flawless quality Exorcise Evil Spirits Pills, a total of ten pills, which was absolutely more than enough. Normally during the Golden Core Stage breakthrough, five pills would be enough to resist the Heavenly Demon’s temptation, as long as one’s Dao Heart was firm.

Han Yi doubled his preparations, which showed his importance and his strong financial backing.

However,

What surprised Han Yi was,

He could sense the breath from the Outer World and had made twelvefold preparations, firmly strengthening his Dao Heart, but he didn’t expect that there would not be a single Heavenly Demon descending.

Finally, when the crack was about to close, a Heavenly Demon drilled in.

Han Yi remained unwavering, and the enticing voice sounded in his ears, tempting him to give up forming the Golden Core and instead enjoy the pleasures of the mortal world rather than cultivate tediously.

However,

This temptation only made Han Yi frown.

Weak.

Too weak.

This Heavenly Demon couldn’t even cause an illusion, only producing a slight tempting sound.

It was just a small Heavenly Demon equivalent to the Qi Refining Stage.

Before he could react, the Heavenly Demon had re-entered the Outer World, and the passage closed.

The Heavenly Demon Calamity, which was said to occur at every stage and cause massive harm to the cultivators during the Golden Core Stage,

Was this all there was?

Had something happened to the Outer World Heavenly Demons, or was he just lucky that there were no powerful Heavenly Demons nearby?

However,

No matter what, this was a great blessing for him.

Han Yi’s face lit up with joy.

However,

The next moment,

His body paused, and an indistinct force, or rather, a rule, descended upon him.

The Three Tribulations of the Golden Core.

The life tribulation!
