However, like Kang Ming Ming, they could only keep their doubts in their hearts and did not dare to speak them out. They did not even dare to talk about it in private. If Xu Lingchong knew about it, it would not be a joke.
In this strange peace, the days passed day by day. The King of Rags was persistent, but there was no sign of it taking shape. Fortunately, under his persistence, the situation in the Casting Pool did not deteriorate further. It was just in a stalemate at the final juncture, which could be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
Not only that, but Lin Yi was also at a bottleneck. He could only watch helplessly as the peak of the early phase of Golden Core was right in front of him. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the last layer of paper. It was really frustrating.
Since it was a perfect breakthrough, and since he was the strongest master in the Gold Core Stage, Lin Yi thought that this kind of breakthrough in the Early-stage of Gold Core should be a natural thing. He never thought that he would be stuck at this step.
If other masters in the Gold Core Stage knew about this, they would really cry. It had only been a few months since Lin Yi had formed his Gold Core, but he wanted to go to the next level without the assistance of any elixirs.
How could these Golden Core Stage experts, who had been unable to advance even an inch for dozens or hundreds of years, and who had no effect even after taking top-grade medicinal pills? How could they endure this?
Since he could not break through, according to his past experience, Lin Yi knew that it was useless to rely on closed-door training at this time. He had to wait for a suitable opportunity, so he simply relaxed his mind and did not insist on breaking through in a short time.
Bored, Lin Yi took advantage of his leisure time to refine some elixirs. He asked Hong Zhong to use the channel of the Hong Chamber of Commerce to send the elixirs to the Tiandan Pavilion in Zhongdao. This was something he had planned long ago, which could help to relieve a lot of pressure on Tian Chan.
Although Tian Chan was also a master in the Early-stage of Gold Core, she did not have the Magical Pesticide Cauldron like Lin Yi. She could only guarantee the quality of fourth-grade pills. As for refining fifth-grade pills, it was still very difficult for her at this stage.
While sending the pills, Lin Yi also specially wrote a letter to The Will of Heaven, asking him about the bottleneck. Although the Will of Heaven did not have a perfect breakthrough, he was still a senior who cultivated in the Creation Battle Art. His experience should be of great reference value.
Soon, Lin Yi received a reply from The Will of Heaven. In the letter, The Will of Heaven said that although Lin Yi had a perfect breakthrough, he had just advanced to the Golden Core Stage. It was the stage where he had accumulated a lot of experience. As long as he successfully broke through the first stage of the Early Stage of Golden Core, everything would be smooth from now on!
At this stage, the key was to stabilize one's realm and accumulate one's foundation. This was a matter that could affect the entire Gold Core stage in the future, so he must not take it lightly.
Therefore, it was not strange at all to encounter a bottleneck at this time, and it was definitely not a bad thing. Of course, this did not mean that he could not make progress from now on. Everything had to be done in moderation. Once he was stuck in the bottleneck for too long, it would not be a good thing.
What Lin Yi needed to do now. Even if he did not insist on a quick breakthrough in a short period of time, he must also make the corresponding preparations and wait for the opportunity to break through.
As for how to prepare. The suggestion given by The Will of Heaven coincided with what Lin Yi himself thought. It was the most stupid and unwise choice to blindly cultivate in seclusion. If he wanted to seize the opportunity to break through, there were only two ways.
Either by fighting with others and constantly consolidating the realm in actual combat, or by taking natural treasures and external stimuli to enhance the foundation.
It was just that Lin Yi didn't have any of these two methods at the moment. He had lost his golden core a long time ago, and his days were peaceful. The only strong enemy he had was Xu Lingchong, but he didn't know why he didn't make a move. As for the people around him, they were too weak. He didn't even have a chance to find someone to practice with.
At present, the only thing Lin Yi could count on was the trial of the three pavilions. Although there were no challenges within the Welcome Pavilion, if one looked at the entire three pavilions, there were many experts, and there were many whose strength was above Lin Yi's.
In the blink of an eye, the one-year period of the Welcome Pavilion had arrived. The newcomers of the three pavilions gathered in the lobby, each with a nervous heart, waiting for the final critical test that would determine their fate. Whether they could successfully join the three pavilions or not, it all depended on today.
The Newcomer Competition was the most important event of the Welcome Pavilion. The three pavilions had sent their elders to watch the ceremony, and as the Pavilion Master of the Welcome Pavilion, Hu Yunfeng, presided over the Newcomer Competition on the stage.
"It has been a whole year since everyone joined the Welcome Pavilion. I, the Pavilion Master, would like to congratulate all the newcomers for finally having the opportunity to officially join the three pavilions and become an official outer sect disciple." Hu Yunfeng opened the ceremony with a smile.
All of the newcomers immediately revealed expressions of excitement. They had worked hard for a year just for this day. Once they left their status as newcomers and became official outer sect disciples, their status and treatment would increase greatly. This was something they had dreamed of. However, Hu Yunfeng's next words caused some people's expressions to darken. "You're right. You're right.
"But unfortunately, this opportunity is only given to the newcomers who have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. As for those newcomers who haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, I can tell you frankly that you won't even have the opportunity to participate in the Newcomer Competition. In the future, mine well in Jade Spirit Hall, cultivate well, and maybe there will be a day where you can make a comeback. But unfortunately, there is no chance today." Hu Yunfeng's gaze fell on the newcomers who hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet.
Due to the support of Zhongdao Alchemy Hall this year, the cultivation resources provided to the newcomers were far more abundant than in previous years. The success rate of newcomers reaching the Foundation Establishment stage was as high as 80% or even 90%. But there were still some who couldn't be helped, such as Cha Wu of Blue Cloud Pavilion.
Listening to Hu Yunfeng's "sentence", Cha Wu's face suddenly turned ashen. Being sent to Jade Spirit Hall to mine was the most tragic ending. Although there were indeed precedents of a counterattack, it was absolutely rare. Ordinary people couldn't be counted on at all. This time, there was really no future at all.
Cha Wu helplessly looked at Qiao Hongcai and the others. He thought that he wasn't much worse than Qiao Hongcai in the past. Why was the situation now so different!
He didn't know that Qiao Hongcai's cultivation talent was far above his. Just in terms of conduct alone, she had already left him far behind. Qiao Hongcai could follow Lin Yi with all her heart. Even if she went against everyone, she would never leave or abandon him. But Cha Wu, he was a grass on top of the wall. He only knew to lean towards both sides. Who could blame him for falling into this situation today? (To be continued …)
