"Wait!" Lin Yi suddenly shouted and placed the Foundation Barrier Breaking Pill in front of him. He laughed coldly and said, "If you don't mind me destroying it right now, then bring it on!"
Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhe's footsteps instantly stopped. He looked at Lin Yi with a murderous look.
Even though he had absolute confidence that he could kill Lin Yi and take back the Star Inkstone, if this dragged on, there was no telling if something unexpected would happen. After all, if he was seen by other experts who were passing by, it would be troublesome.
However, even though he wholeheartedly wanted to kill Lin Yi as soon as possible, he couldn't bear to part with this Foundation Barrier Breaking Pill. Just like how he had absolute confidence in killing Lin Yi, if Lin Yi truly wanted to destroy the Pill in his hands, it would only take a single thought for him to do so. He wouldn't be able to stop him in time.
"Fine, then I'll tell you the uses of the Star Inkstone and let you die knowing! But before that, you have to give it to me first, "Yu Zhe said in a low voice.
Lin Yi couldn't help but sneer. "Do you really think I'm an idiot? If I gave this Foundation Barrier Breaking Pill to you right now, would you still be wasting your breath with me? "
"Then tell me, what do you want me to do to make you feel at ease? Don't say stupid things like I'll tell you first and then give it to me. If that's the case, I'd rather just kill you!" Yu Zhe said with a gloomy face.
Hearing this, Lin Yi laughed in spite of himself. "As a grand middle stage Foundation Establishment expert, no one would come to a place like this. In other words, no one would be able to save me. My little life is already in your hands, do you still need to be so petty? If I'm lying to you, at worst you can just torture me and make me beg for death. Wouldn't that be enough? In any case, you won't lose anything. If my character is good and I keep my word, perhaps I can even get a Foundation Barrier Breaking Pill. This kind of opportunity doesn't come often. "
Yu Zhe looked deeply at Lin Yi. After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Alright, since you are a person who is about to die, there is no harm in telling you now. The number of people on Heaven Step Island who know the use of this Star Inkstone definitely doesn't exceed the number of fingers on one hand. I flipped through all the ancient scriptures in the Library Pavilion, and only then did I stumble upon an ancient remnant. Although you are about to die, I have to say that you are very lucky. "
Lin Yi listened attentively without batting an eyelid. A slight ripple appeared in his heart. In that case, this piece of starinkstone really did have a significant background.
Pausing for a moment, Yu Zhe took a deep breath and said, "According to the records of that ancient remnant page, Star Inkstone is produced in deep trenches at the bottom of the sea. Over the course of millions and millions of years, it has absorbed the essence of the seabed. As for us cultivators, this is the most generous gift from the heavens. Whoever obtains it will become the strongest Golden Core Stage expert. There is no one else who can compete with it! "
The strongest Golden Core expert!
Lin Yi was immediately shocked. Ever since coming to Heaven Step Island, although the people he came into contact with the most were newcomers who hadn't reached Foundation Establishment. Other than some special occasions, Senior Apprentice Brother Ku Bi, who was at Foundation Establishment, basically couldn't come into contact with experts above Foundation Establishment.
However, this didn't mean that Lin Yi didn't have any concept of the three words Golden Core Stage. After all, for cultivators, this was the most basic of common knowledge.
The reason why the Welcome Pavilion didn't set up a corresponding teaching curriculum was because this common knowledge was too basic. Like things like strength levels, it was just like eating and drinking for ordinary people. There was no need to waste time teaching them. As long as they went out to interact with people and casually said a few words, they would naturally understand.
Simply put, on Heaven Step Island, those below Foundation Establishment were not considered to have started. Foundation Establishment was considered the beginning. Golden Core was considered to have stepped into the ranks of experts!
Although according to common sense, cultivators who could cultivate to the Golden Core Stage were already geniuses that were one in ten thousand. However, it should be known that there were also differences between geniuses. The Golden Core Stage was the clearest dividing line between all geniuses. It determined the height that each cultivator could reach in the future.
For those who were weaker, no matter how hard they worked and how much resources they consumed, they had no hope of breaking through in this lifetime. They could only helplessly stop at the early Golden Core Stage. For those who were slightly better, although there was hope to continue to the next level, even if they could break through, they could only become the weakest among the experts of the same level. The rest of their lives were fixed, and there was almost no possibility of a counterattack.
Looking at all the Golden Core Stage experts, only the most outstanding few could break through all the way and become the group of people who stood at the top of Heaven Step Island.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Golden Core Stage was a natural moat in front of all cultivators. Whether or not one could cross it, and how one crossed it, would directly affect whether one was a dragon or a worm in the future.
The strongest Foundation Establishment Stage experts might gradually become trash after breaking through, but the strongest Golden Core Stage experts had never been like this before.
This was because for thousands of years, history had clearly shown that anyone who could become invincible in the Golden Core Stage, as long as they were not killed midway, would inevitably grow into the group of people who stood at the top of Heaven Step Island in the future. There was no exception.
This guy was so ambitious! Lin Yi looked at Yu Zhe, whose eyes were burning with passion, and felt that he did not think much of it.
It was not that he did not care about the Golden Core Stage, but he was currently only at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment Stage. The most important thing now was how to break through to the middle Foundation Establishment Stage. Thinking about becoming the strongest Golden Core Stage expert at this time was really too ambitious.
He was like this, and this Yu Zhe, who was only in the middle Foundation Establishment Stage, was also the same. At this time, instead of thinking about becoming the strongest Golden Core Stage expert, it was more practical to think about how to become the peak of the middle Foundation Establishment Stage expert.
As for the Golden Core Stage, whether or not he could live until then was still unknown. It was better to work hard towards the peak of the late Foundation Establishment Stage first.
However, in the face of such temptation, not everyone could maintain their calm like Lin Yi. In reality, if Lin Yi did not have these heaven-defying golden fingers like the space in the jade pendant, and suddenly encountered a treasure that could make him the strongest Golden Core Stage expert, perhaps he would be like Yu Zhe, unable to extricate himself.
Of course, a calm heart was a calm heart. Right now, Lin Yi's expectations towards the Star Inkstone were no less than Yu Zhe's. He, who had all kinds of powerful trump cards, had a higher chance of advancing to the Golden Core Stage than others. The significance of the Star Inkstone was naturally greater to him, but he would not let it get to his head.
"Huh? This kid actually knows this kind of secret. Interesting! "In his mind, the ghost's long-lost voice suddenly rang out.
