Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

The Quiet Room inside the cave mansion.

The Golden Core inside the Quiet Room.

To He Song now, this Golden Core is indeed the most precious item within this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.

It is something that could directly enhance one’s own foundation in the future.

It was no longer the cultivator’s Golden Core that He Song had carelessly placed in the storage bag to collect dust.

Now that he had entered the cave mansion, naturally, he had to secure the most valuable item first, to avoid any complications.

With this thought in mind, He Song didn’t stop his steps, and his figure swiftly arrived inside the Quiet Room of the cave mansion.

Inside the Quiet Room.

It was no different from what He Song had previously detected with his divine sense.

Besides a skeleton, a Golden Core, and a storage bag within the Quiet Room, there were no other items.

Upon reaching the spot, He Song simply waved his hand, and a surge of mana instantly emerged, rolling the Golden Core up from the ground.

However, at the moment the Golden Core was rolled up,

the mana transformed into thunder and fire, a powerful assault instantly enveloping the Golden Core.

Following a series of crackling sounds,

He Song’s expression remained calm; upon seeing no reaction from inside the Golden Core, he then reached out and let it fall into his hand.

As the Golden Core settled into He Song’s hand, a hint of joy flickered across his face.

Indeed, this Golden Core was genuine.

And it posed no threat to him whatsoever.

The abrupt conversion into thunder and fire had been used by He Song to test the core.

If there had been a cultivator’s divine soul hidden within the Golden Core, the thunder fire would have annihilated it in an instant.

This was a precautionary measure He Song had taken against any maneuver that might have been placed inside the Golden Core.

Unfortunately, there was no cultivator’s divine soul within this Golden Core; it was somewhat of a waste of He Song’s mana.

Nevertheless, He Song didn’t mind.

He simply examined the Golden Core in front of him carefully for a moment to confirm there was no danger before considering it as a core for amulet making.

Only when content that the Golden Core could be used as a primary material for crafting talismanic treasures did a smile appear on his face. Then, he stored the Golden Core in his storage bag.

“Not bad, with this, my foundation will be further strengthened as I traverse the Cultivation World.”

“With two Talismanic Treasures on hand, my strength will naturally be much greater than when I had only one.”

“If I could acquire more Golden Cores in the future…”

“And have multiple Talismanic Treasures on hand…”

“Then wouldn’t my safety greatly increase when that time comes?”

As he envisioned having multiple Talismanic Treasures, a glint flashed in He Song’s eyes. But soon after, he shook his head, discarding the thought.

A cultivator’s Golden Core is not so easily obtained.

If not for the fortuitous chance that brought He Song here, it’s uncertain if this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion would still exist in a few years.

Though the Water-Repelling Bead naturally could avoid water and its formed bubbles wouldn’t dissipate over the years,

the bubble created by the Water-Repelling Bead is still just a bubble, incapable of stopping a demonic beast’s invasion.

With the external Array Skills already dissipated,

should an amphibious demonic beast enter this place, the Water-Repelling Bead would be powerless to stop it.

Consequently,

If that intruding demonic beast were to tamper with this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion, it would likely result in a complete transformation of this place.

By that time, whether the palaces and towers here would still exist is questionable.

Perhaps the demonic beast would treat these things as refuse, pushing them all out of the bubble, and personally build a nest within to reproduce.

And the palaces and towers expelled from the bubble would naturally be swept away by the surging waters of the outside world.

After several years, this place would probably remain only as a den of a demonic beast.

The original Golden Elixir Cave Mansion, along with the chances within, would be completely eradicated.

As for the little Golden Core,

It would naturally drift along the current to an unknown destination.

If this were the case, the number of cultivator’s Golden Cores in the Cultivation World would diminish by one more.

Moreover, nearly all Golden Elixir Masters are aware of the value of the Golden Core.

They would naturally choose to hide their cave mansions well after death, to prevent their Golden Cores from being taken and used to make treasures.

And these concealed cave mansions, once their Array Skills completely fade over time, their interiors would inevitably change.

Some cave mansions situated inside mountains would be completely buried by landslides, their Golden Cores deeply entrenched within the mountains.

Some located beneath seas and lakes would, over time, be inundated by water and destroyed by demonic beasts, their Golden Cores vanishing without a trace.

Some found in hidden corners might withstand the test of time and preserve the Golden Cores intact, or they too might disappear.

Such cases are not uncommon.

In fact, they are quite frequent.

Only those less fortunate Golden Elixir Masters might have their cave mansions accidentally discovered by others who would then take the Golden Cores.

Therefore, given that Golden Elixir Masters’ cave mansions tend to be very secretive,

one would need great luck to find a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.

If one is unlucky, even searching for a lifetime might not yield the whereabouts of a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.
