Beauty and the Bodyguard

Sweat was pouring down his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot. Lin Yi gritted his teeth and held on. One step forward wasn't heaven, but one step back was hell.

In this state, not only could his meridians explode at any time, but he was also only a fine line away from Qi deviation.

This went on for an hour, and Lin Yi used his inhuman willpower to channel all the terrifying Qi that had swelled up because of the Golden core into his dantian.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it was only an hour, but to Lin Yi, it felt like half a century. Fortunately, he finally made it through.

However, this was far from the time to relax. Up until now, everything he had done was just preparation work. He had guided all the true Qi into his dantian. The next thing was the real thing, which was to form the Golden core.

The biggest difference between the so-called Jindan stage and the foundation establishment stage was that the Golden core would be condensed in the dantian. This golden core would become the source of all the true Qi in the body. It was the symbol of the qualitative change from the foundation establishment stage to the Jindan stage. At the same time, it was also the life of all the Jindan stage Masters.

The process of condensing the Golden core was extremely difficult, but also easy, because it didn't have many skills to speak of. It was just to continuously condense and compress the huge amount of Zhen Qi that had been guided into the dantian before until it finally condensed into a solidified Zhen Qi crystal. This was the Golden core.

Generally speaking, those who could successfully bypass the most dangerous process of true energy infusion would rarely fail in the step of forming the Golden core. However, even if everyone formed the Golden core, the gap between them was like heaven and earth. This step would directly determine the future strength and potential.

Some Jindan experts have a hollow golden core and are called xudan. Among all the Jindan experts, they are naturally the weak ones at the bottom. There are also Jindan experts whose golden core is as hard as stone and are called solid core. Among all the Jindan experts, their strength is naturally the top.

Even if everyone practiced the same martial arts technique, the power of a solid core expert was far stronger than that of a xudan expert. The root of all this was the quality of the Golden core that was condensed at this moment.

Therefore, although the step of condensing the Golden core was not as dangerous as before, it was the most crucial step that no one dared to take lightly. Once they relaxed or were careless at this time, they would not be able to make up for it.

No ambitious master would want to form a void core-only a solid core could help them advance and become one of the strongest Masters. However, what Lin Yi wanted to do now was different from the others.

What he wanted to condense was not a solid core, but a 10000-dollar golden core!

A normal solid core would have a golden core as hard as a rock, but Lin Yi's ten thousand beauty golden core was even harder than that-it was as hard as meteorites!

And all of this would have to depend on the star inkstone's effects. Only during the process of forming the Jindan would one be able to absorb the power of the stars and the ocean at the same time. Only then would one be able to form a true ten thousand beauty Jindan. Only then would one be able to make a perfect breakthrough and become the strongest Jindan expert!

As he controlled the Qi in his dantian and made it condense, Lin Yi had to do three things at the same time. He used a part of his Qi to grab the star power in the star inkstone and guide it into his own dantian. At the same time, he had to control his spirit sense to gather the ocean Power and guide it into his dantian.

multitasking three things at once was an extremely difficult task for anyone. if there was even the slightest mistake in the process, it would lead to a failure. at best, one would not be able to form a ten thousand beauty golden core. at worst, one would fail to form a golden core and even regress in strength, never having the possibility of a breakthrough again.

however, lin yi didn't seem to be forcing himself at all. instead, he seemed to be in an orderly and steady state.

apart from lin yi's natural talent, there was also the damned thing that contributed to this. foundation level practitioners generally didn't know how to use spirit sense-the hardest part of multitasking was using spirit sense to gather the ocean's power. if it wasn't for the guidance of a grandmaster, lin yi wouldn't have had such an easy time.

at this point, forming the golden core was the final step. lin yi thought that this breakthrough would be smooth-sailing until he formed the ten thousand beauty golden core and achieved the perfect breakthrough, but he realized that he was too naive.

Forming the Golden core in his dantian wasn't a problem, and using his spirit to gather the ocean's power was the most difficult step, but it wasn't a problem either. What surprised Lin Yi was that the seemingly simple step of gathering the stars "power had a fatal accident!

The moment the power of the stars was guided into the meridians, a huge opening suddenly appeared in the meridians. It actually split open directly!

The extreme pain and the shock almost made Lin Yi lose control of his body. The Qi that was gathered in his dantian flowed back into his meridians, and he was about to suffer from Qi deviation.

Fortunately, Lin Yi reacted at the last moment and forced his Qi back. At the same time, he used his practitioner's Arts to repair his broken meridians. However, he didn't dare to continue taking star energy from the star inkstone.

The special characteristic of the power of the stars was that it was extremely sharp and violent. The reason why his meridians split open was because they couldn't withstand the sharpness. This wasn't something that could be done by gritting his teeth. If this continued, Lin Yi believed that his meridians would be destroyed by the power of the stars before he could form the ten thousand beauty golden pill!

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel lucky that he had channeled the star energy through his meridians, giving him a chance to heal himself. If he had channeled it into his Dan Tian without saying anything, it wouldn't have been his meridians that would've been split open, but his Dan Tian.

Once one's dantian was crippled, there would be no chance of salvaging it. One would be reduced to a complete cripple.

But even if it didn't cause such a tragedy, Lin Yi didn't know what to do. The damn thing had taught him how to use the star inkstone, but he hadn't used it himself, so he couldn't know the details.

There were only two choices left for Lin Yi. One was to give up on the star inkstone and form his golden core. This was the safest way, but the price was that he wouldn't be able to break through perfectly.

As for the remaining option, he could bite the bullet and continue to grab the power of the stars. However, the final result would most likely be a failure in core formation and he would become a cripple!

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and pondered for a while. He wasn't willing to go with the first option, but the second option was too dangerous. He'd be digging his own grave if he couldn't think of an effective solution. (To be continued.)
