"No wonder Tong Xingbang emphasized back then that cultivating the 'Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill' requires an extraordinary high level of comprehension from the cultivator!" Xu Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Recalling Tong Xingbang's solemn demeanor when he mentioned this cultivation technique, Xu Ping now deeply understood.

Although Xu Ping's own comprehension was mediocre among many cultivators, his Divine Sense was much stronger than that of the average Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Cultivating the 'Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill' had somewhat enhanced this aspect.

However, after months, he still couldn't grasp it at all.

If it were another ordinary cultivator trying to cultivate this technique, the difficulty would likely be unimaginable.

And this is just the entry-level; once the technique deepens, the difficulty will surely increase exponentially.

This cultivation technique is truly impossible to cultivate without high comprehension!

Forget it, there's no use being anxious; better to take it slow." Xu Ping soon adjusted his mindset.

Currently, he did not have any urgent need to master the 'Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill'.

Besides, with the proficiency panel he had, once he reached the entry level, he could advance slowly without relying on the elusive comprehension!

Thinking of this, Xu Ping felt much more relaxed.

He flicked the Lingxiao Sword flower with his wrist and gently shook it, then stored the Lingxiao Sword into his Storage Ring.

Immediately afterward, Xu Ping headed straight to the cultivation room.

After entering the cultivation room, he effortlessly came to the stone bed and slowly sat cross-legged on it.

Then, he slightly closed his eyes, a calm expression on his face, and began operating the cultivation technique to quietly restore the mana he had consumed.

During this time, crafting the Lingxiao Sword had consumed a great deal of his mind and mana, and he needed a good few days to recuperate.

...

...

Six days later.

In the cultivation room.

Xu Ping silently operated the 'Longevity Skill'; threads of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi coursed along his meridians and returned to the Sea of Qi in his Dantian.

A drop of viscous liquid mana coagulated and merged into his Dantian, making it look more jade-like in its verdant sheen.

Half an hour later, Xu Ping opened his eyes, concluding his cultivation.

Feeling the mana in his Dantian, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Three hundred drops of viscous liquid mana, exceeding both in quantity and quality those of a typical Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator."

"The limit of three hundred sixty drops of liquid mana is not far away," Xu Ping thought to himself.

Once this limit of perfection is reached, he could begin cultivating the Core Formation Secret Technique to compress the liquid mana in his Dantian.

With his now-mutated, unique liquid mana, even without the aid of precious Core Formation spiritual objects, Xu Ping estimated that his success rate of achieving Core Formation could reach seventy to eighty percent.

If he could obtain one or two Core Formation spiritual objects, his success rate—if not a full hundred percent—would at least not be less than ninety-eight percent.

"Ninety-eight percent!"

Xu Ping's eyes sparkled, murmuring to himself.

In the Cultivation Realm, successfully establishing the Foundation means truly shedding the mortal coil and stepping onto the path of immortality.

Becoming a Golden Core Cultivator, however, signifies an important and tremendous step forward on this path.

From this point on, whether in life span, strength, or status in the Cultivation Realm, a significant transformation would occur.

Xu Ping again calmed his mind, meditated for a while to regulate the slightly agitated mana within, then stood up and slowly walked out of the cultivation room.

Strolling leisurely through the mountains, he breathed in the continuous aromatic scent of spirit medicine, which lifted his spirits.

Just at this moment.

Just at this moment, Xu Ping seemed to sense something, his previously relaxed brows slightly raised.

In the next instant, with a turn of his hand, a Super Long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman glowing with spiritual light appeared in his hand.

He infused it with a trace of mana, and an elderly voice immediately emanated from the talisman: "Friend Li, the Spirit Worm you captured met with an accident."

"Accident?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping frowned, immediately changing his voice line to ask in a rough voice, "Friend Pang, could you tell me what exactly happened?"

The one sending him the transmission was named Pang Po, a steward of the Hundred Beasts Sect.

"Here's the thing, the Spirit Worm was captured just fine, but unexpectedly among them was hidden a Second-stage Spirit Worm..." Pang Po's helpless voice continued from the talisman.

According to Pang Po, this Second-stage Spirit Worm was exceptionally fierce, injuring over a dozen Qi Cultivation disciples of their Hundred Beasts Sect.

Their sect even organized four or five Foundation Establishment Cultivators to hunt it down.

However, this Second-stage Spirit Worm was extremely cunning; every time it sensed danger, it would burrow into the Spirit Vein underground, leaving them unsuccessful after multiple attempts.

"Second-stage Spirit Worm?"

A trace of astonishment flickered across Xu Ping's face.

It's well known that Spirit Worms are not only rare, but their evolution is particularly challenging.

Even after so many years, the Hundred Beasts Sect had only a single Second-stage Spirit Worm, which showed their rarity.

If this Second-stage Spirit Worm could be captured, the speed of the Spirit Vein's upgrade would significantly increase.

But failing to capture it could hinder the capture of ordinary Spirit Worms due to the interference of this Second-stage Spirit Worm.

So was he lucky or not?

"Does Friend Pang have any strategy now?" Xu Ping suppressed his thoughts and inquired.

Pang Po pondered for a moment on the other side of the talisman and slowly said, "The only current option is to leverage an Earth Master to drive the Second-stage Spirit Worm from the Spirit Vein."

"Earth Master?"
