As the name suggested, the Tribulation Avoidance Pearl was a treasure that could be used to avoid tribulations
It was especially effective against the Heavenly Tribulations.
Coincidentally, after the demon beast riot ended, both he and Shen Ruyan would face the test of condensing their cores.
Among these tests, the most dangerous step was the heavenly tribulation.
At that time, this Tribulation Avoidance Pearl might be useful.
Then there was the Sky-Brilliance Dew.
The only use of this item was to help cultivators break through to the Golden Core.
It could help a cultivator increase the success rate of condensing a Golden Core by about 20%.
The most important thing was that there were no side effects or hidden dangers when consuming this.
Moreover, there was a chance to increase the quality of the Golden Core.
Its value was not inferior to the number one spiritual item, the Core Formation Pill.
In fact, it might be even better.
At that moment, be it Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, or Gu Yuefeng, they were not in a hurry to return to Ancient Origin City. Instead, they began to slaughter the Level 3 demon beasts present.
In just a short moment, all the Level 3 demon beasts that came to attack Ancient Origin City had died in the hands of the three of them.
It was only then that Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Gu Yuefeng returned to Ancient Yuan City.
After a while.
In the meeting hall of Ancient Origin City.
Gu Yuefeng, Jiang Chengxuan, and all the Violet Palace cultivators were gathered here.
Everyone’s faces were solemn.
Hua Mengyou said to Gu Yuefeng,
“Shifu, will anything happen after we kill the Wolf King?”
Hearing her words, the rest turned their gazes to Gu Yuefeng.
Clearly, they knew what Hua Mengyou was referring to.
Gu Yuefeng did not answer immediately. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he slowly said,
“‘ll report it to the Hidden Sword Palace in the State of Yu later. 1 don’t think there will be much of a problem.”
The Hidden Sword Palace in the State of Yu that Gu Yuefeng was talking about was the Nascent Soul Sect closest to the Cangnan Region.
All along, the five nations in the Cangnan Region would regularly offer a considerable amount of resources in exchange for their protection.
Of course, only when you encountered a threat above the Nascent Soul would the Hidden Sword Palace interfere.
Just like now.
As long as Gu Yuefeng reported this matter to the higher-ups, if there was a Level 5 demon emperor behind the Wolf King who really planned to do something, then Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level in the Hidden Sword Palace would show up.
This was why he said that it was not a big problem.
Instead, what seemed problematic was why the Wolf King that was supposed to be in the Zheng Nation would appear in the Liang Nation.
When they realized that the Wolf King might be related to a Level 5 Demon Emperor, they knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Perhaps, the Liang Nation had already been schemed against. Someone wanted to use the Liang Nation to get rid of the Wolf King and cause them to suffer the wrath of the Level 5 Demon Emperor.
If that was really the case, it would be intolerable. The Liang Nation would not let this matter rest so easily.
At this moment, everyone present clearly realized this.
And their expressions turned ugly.
Gu Yuefeng continued, “I’ll stay here for the time being.
1 will only consider leaving after 1 receive confirmation from the Hidden Sword Palace in the State of Yu.
Alright, let’s leave it at that for today.”
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“Young friends, regarding the distribution of the items on the Wolf King, let’s do it the way we agreed upon previously.
Its demon core and flesh are yours. As for its Level 4 Dharma treasure, I’ll take care of it for the time being. I might need it in the future.
Do you have any objections towards this arrangement?”
“Senior Gu, we have no objections.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan shook their heads.
This was something that both sides had already discussed.
After everyone left, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan returned to their cave abode.
“Ruyan, if you use this Level 4 demon core as the main ingredient, how confident are you to refine a Core Formation Pill?”
As soon as he returned to his cave abode, Jiang Chengxuan asked Shen Ruyan.
Shen Ruyan thought for a moment and said, “I’m quite confident.
Why? Husband, are you planning to use a Core Formation Pill to break through to the Golden Core?”
“Not really.”
Jiang Chengxuan shook his head.
“I’m just thinking that Rendao and the others might need this pill when the time comes.
I believe you are also planning not to use these ordinary external items to break through to the Golden Core, right?”
Indeed.
With his and Shen Ruyan’s foundation and current qualifications, using external items like the Core Formation Pill to break through would only waste their potential.
They would not choose to be like most cultivators who entered the False Core first before taking it slowly to consense their core.
Instead, they would choose to directly condense the core to break through.
However, that way, the risk would undoubtedly be much greater than the former especially without the help of Core Formation spiritual items.
On the other hand, the benefit was that this way, the core they formed would be at least Level 7, which was considered a high-grade core.
If they used spiritual items, such as the Sky-Brilliance Dew, it was very possible for the core to reach Level 9 or even exceed the domain of high-grade.
Only then could they be considered to have a limitless future and a great potential to obtain the Immortal Dao.
The couple chatted for a while about this matter.
In the end, Shen Ruyan changed the topic.
“This time, we killed the Wolf King with Senior Gu.
According to Senior Gu, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
Still, they have to be as careful as possible.
Even if the Level 5 demon emperor would not personally attack us, Level 4 demon kings should be very willing to take our heads to the Level 5 demon emperor to receive rewards.
Therefore, the best way to ensure our safety is to increase our strength as much as possible.
If we can break through to the Golden Core, no matter how many demon kings come looking for us, we are not too worried.”
Jiang Chengxuan approved of Shen Ruyan’s words.
He couldn’t help but nod and say, “Ruyan, you’re right. Nothing is more reliant than our own strength.
Also, 1 have a feeling that what happened this time might cause an irreconcilable conflict between the Liang Nation and the Zheng Nation.
At that time, the conflicts that built up over many decades between the three nations on our side and Zheng and Shu Nations might completely erupt.
If that really happens, we won’t be able to stay out of it even if we want.”
At this point, the couple seemed to have foreseen a future, and their expressions could not help but become a little solemn.
“By the way…”
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly thought of something and asked Shen Ruyan,
“Now that you’re only a step away from breaking through to the Golden Core, 1 wonder if you have any thoughts or preparations?”
