I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

Chapter 202: Chapter 102: Growing Bigger and Stronger

No matter what, now that Li Jizhou has achieved Golden Core Formation, at least before facing the Nascent Soul barrier, he is already countless times stronger than the majority of cultivators.

Looking at the current cultivation world of the Yan Kingdom, forming a Golden Core before a hundred years old is at least in the top ten.

Moreover, once the Golden Core is formed, the speed of cultivation won’t differ much from that of a Celestial Spirit Root.

“Greetings to the owner… Oh, congratulations on your promotion to True Master!” Just upon returning to Taobao Pavilion, Guo Ruoyu came forward to pay respect,

immediately sensing the unmasked True Core aura of Li Jizhou, feeling immensely joyful.

The development of Taobao Pavilion has already received her approval, and due to years of dedication, she is very optimistic about its future growth.

The only concern was whether the owner’s strength could support its future development.

Seeing Li Jizhou become a True Core Master at this moment, her heart was greatly assured.

“Congratulations to the owner on the success of Golden Core Formation!” Instantly, everyone within the pavilion gathered around.

“Hahaha, there are rewards, I am happy today, everyone will receive rewards!” Li Jizhou waved his hand generously, throwing out two pieces of Middle Grade Spirit Stone for each person.

“Thank you, owner!”

“Owner, now that Golden Core Formation is achieved, do you have a Taoist title established?” The group, holding their reward money, was even more excited.

“Taoist title… well, it’ll be Changchun then!” Li Jizhou pondered slightly.

The greatest aid in achieving Golden Core Formation this time was the annual ring characteristics of the Evergreen Skill,

If it weren’t for the storage of the annual ring and subsequent explosion increasing spiritual pressure, the first step would require consuming Celestial Pure Water.

“Junior greets Master Chang Chun! Wishing the master everlasting youth!” Everyone seemed to instantly understand Li Jizhou’s intentions and bowed together.

Any Taoist title usually relates to the aspirations of a Golden Core cultivator’s path, besides some intentionally self-promoting titles, many represent the master’s aspirations.

Li Jizhou chose the title Changchun.

Everyone believed that what Li Jizhou sought was eternal youth.

Combining with Li Jizhou’s near hundred-year-old age, he still insisted on using Youthful Appearance Pill, maintaining his appearance as someone in their twenties,

basically confirmed.

“Hahaha, everlasting youth, good, good!” Li Jizhou nodded in satisfaction.

“Since everyone is here, today I announce that Taobao Pavilion is about to expand and strengthen, and all of you will become the first group of chief shopkeepers eligible for profit sharing.” Li Jizhou waved his hand, giving everyone a goal.

Now, with Golden Core Formation achieved, not to mention how the Nascent Soul barrier will be overcome, what Li Jizhou urgently needs is to make unceasing efforts.

No matter the celestial dao?

At the very least, he must make utmost efforts!

Only by putting in the utmost effort can one qualify to curse at the end: Damn old heavens, I ++ defy!

After Golden Core, for those aspiring to achieve Nascent Soul, the cost will be extremely huge.

Since the moment of Golden Core Formation, those aspiring to Nascent Soul have to prepare for achieving it.

Breaking the core to become a Nascent Soul requires at least two hundred years of nurturing!

Like pregnancy,

This moment requires making many preparations for nurturing the Nascent Soul, at least one Fetus Nourishing Pill per year and at least one divine medicine every ten years for nourishment.

One Fetus Nourishing Pill costs at least a thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and because Fetus Nourishing Pill is a Tier Three Advanced Level pill, only the high-tier pill masters supported by a few major forces in the Yan Kingdom can refine it,

And these forces, one of which is Profound Celestial Sect and Carefree Palace, almost remain closed and won’t let Fetus Nourishing Pill flow outside.

Secondly, only the commerce alliance and a few major families and sects occupying quasi-fourth tier spirit veins remain.

These top forces in the Yan Kingdom naturally don’t want to see several more Nascent Soul cultivators shake their positions.

So real Fetus Nourishing Pills are very rare.

Of course, for Li Jizhou, who is already a tier three experienced pill master, refining it is not difficult; the main concern is the cost of materials.

And for divine medicine nourishment every ten years, to be called divine medicine, it must be at least quasi-fourth tier, and it’s even harder to find than life-extending treasure medicine among heavenly and earthly treasures.

They are almost impossible to circulate in the market, only seen in auction houses or within relic caves.

The price is extremely high!

This is all basic preparation for nurturing a Nascent Soul, requiring considerable financial support, not to mention the main medicine, Nascent Soul Pill, for achieving Nascent Soul.

Of course, celestial and earthly spiritual objects are also essential.

Some people will also make some preparations for the forty-nine minor celestial tribulations.

Therefore, to rise to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, a significant reserve of Spirit Stones is indispensable.

And this level of Spirit Stone consumption is certainly not something that can be earned just by relying on personal skills as a craftsman.

Either join a super sect or force, contributing to the sect’s cause, gaining the appreciation of the masters, and being cultivated vigorously.

Or reach absolute strength to rule a region, enslave the governed cultivators, drain their blood, or attack other forces to plunder.

Or, one can only rely on commerce.

Of course, if not afraid of celestial tribulation heart demons, or having good luck never encountering hidden masters acting meek to catch pig, one can also be a rogue cultivator.

Upon Li Jizhou’s words landing, the ten people within Taobao Pavilion cheered endlessly; they’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.

“All markets and alliance stores in the southern Yan Kingdom must open branches within one year. Except for the western region, there are exactly nine markets elsewhere. You each take the alliance token to open branches.”

In the cultivation world, doing business has many disadvantages, but it also has many similar advantages.

Especially Divine Soul Contracts, Great Heart Demon Oaths, and even the least likely to go wrong Divine Soul Blood Contracts, these methods can completely prevent subordinates from getting greedy.

This time, Li Jizhou also prepared to specially set up a soul plaque for each of the ten individuals at the Liuyun City headquarters of Taobao Pavilion, so that he can be informed in case of any life or death event.

In addition, he prepared to specially refine nine Tier Three Middle Level puppets, and they must be fused with Tier Three Mid Stage demon pills to protect each branch.

Additionally, each branch will have three sets of tier three grand formations, ensuring no problems in the alliance markets in the southern Yan Kingdom.

“Xiaoguo, in the future, you will need to cultivate a few more chief shopkeepers, and step back to take full charge of the overall situation. Furthermore, all branches of Taobao Pavilion need to establish timely turnover routes. Initially, you can cooperate with escort agencies, but later you need to organize your own.”

“Once all branches form a system, we won’t be limited to personal consignment anymore; some shops can also carry out promotional activities.”

“Every shopkeeper who goes to a new market must establish deep connections with the business alliance heads of each city.”

…

After a series of instructions, Li Jizhou had Xiaoguo prepare for the Core Formation celebration, with special emphasis that all leaders from the city commerce alliance must be invited, including all shops within the Immortal City.

A True Core Master, especially one who achieved it before a hundred years old, may not count for much in terms of cultivation strength in the Immortal Cities in the southern Yan Kingdom, but combined with his identity as the owner of a fourth-grade shop, his potential would definitely be regarded with admiration.

This has a very positive impact on the future development of Taobao Pavilion.

The Core Formation celebration is set to happen three days later.

Having arranged everything, Li Jizhou returned to the inner courtyard.

Upon returning, he searched for documents related to the Celestial Heart Seal on a shelf in his study.

After residing in Liuyun City for over a decade, he purchased anything recorded in ancient books or jade slips found in the market.

Without any senior masters from his sect, this is the only way he could learn from the experiences and lessons of predecessors.

Reading is certainly always the fastest way to enhance oneself.

Besides looking into information regarding the Celestial Heart Seal and Immortal Golden Core, he is also particularly concerned about whether his current Golden Core inside would be seen through by the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul True Monarch?

Just returning, he deliberately used his Divine Sense to inspect the dantian of those ten individuals in the shop.

Nine Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators, his Early Stage Golden Core could only see a mist within their dantian area, beyond his ability to see through.

As for Xiaoguo, who successfully established his foundation several years ago, Li Jizhou could not even sense the situation in her dantian.
