In the cultivation room, Zhou Xun slowly withdrew his spell and began to familiarize himself with the mana and divine sense of the Core Formation Stage.

"Before forming my core, my divine sense had already reached two thousand zhang, no less than that of a typical Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivator!"

"Now that I have broken through to Core Formation, I wonder how much it has improved!"

Generally speaking, the divine sense of a Fake Pill Cultivator is one thousand zhang, Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivator two thousand zhang, Middle-Stage three thousand zhang, Late-Stage six thousand zhang.

With a thought, Zhou Xun’s divine sense emerged from his body, spreading outward.

Soon, everything within a three thousand zhang range came into view.

At this moment, countless cultivators were gathered outside Zhou Xun’s cave mansion, all showing respect and waiting quietly, hoping to be summoned by Zhou Xun.

"I didn’t expect that the commotion of my core formation would attract so much attention!"

Zhou Xun smiled faintly, continuing to extend his divine sense,

three thousand zhang... three thousand five hundred zhang... four thousand zhang... five thousand zhang... six thousand zhang...

It reached the extreme only at six thousand seven hundred zhang.

"A divine sense range of six thousand seven hundred zhang, stronger yet than a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator!"

Zhou Xun was quite satisfied with this result.

His divine sense already surpassed most Core Formation Cultivators, only those with innate powerful divine sense or those who exercised secret techniques to strengthen their divine sense could rival him.

"The divine sense test is complete. Next, let’s see the level of my mana strength!"

Before Core Formation, Zhou Xun’s mana strength was not less than a typical Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivator. Now, having condensed an Immortal Golden Core,

he wondered how much it could improve,

with a slap on his storage bag at the waist, a flash of spirit light transformed into a thick Tier Three Spirit Iron, falling to the ground.

This was what Zhou Xun used to test his own mana strength,

he formed a spell with his hands, his fingers surged with mana, then pointed at the spirit iron.

A strand of qi force flew from Zhou Xun’s fingers, with a "whoosh", indented into the spirit iron and disappeared. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Then Zhou Xun picked up the spirit iron, inspecting it closely.

Only to see a hole the size of a little finger, piercing through the entire piece of spirit iron.

"This kind of power, not inferior to an average Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator!"

This meant Zhou Xun’s mana strength had reached the standards of a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator.

"Both divine sense and mana are no weaker than a typical Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator, meaning apart from mana quantity, I’m no different from a typical Late-Stage Cultivator!"

"Apparently, the secret techniques on the Spirit Wood True Technique could be cultivated by me without issues!"

Zhou Xun’s Spirit Wood True Technique, the stronger the Lifebound Spirit Plant, the stronger the secret techniques it can perform,

and Zhou Xun’s sacrificial refining of the Mysterious Lotus Seed could prolong Zhou Xun’s lifespan as a top-tier spiritual object, using it to perform secret techniques would be unimaginably powerful.

"If there are those lacking awareness looking for trouble, its power could be tested!"

However, when Zhou Xun’s phenomena lasted for nine days, successfully condensing the Immortal Golden Core, perhaps everyone he encountered was deferential and flattering!

"Never mind, I’ll test it again when I go to seize the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit!"

With a wave of his hand, the door to the cultivation room opened automatically, and Zhou Xun strode out.

Upon reaching the courtyard, he saw several Sound Transmission Talismans swirling outside the array, and couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile.

With a big hand grab, a large blue hand gently scooped up all the Sound Transmission Talismans.

Zhou Xun smiled faintly, returning to the guest hall,

after thoroughly reviewing the Sound Transmission Talismans, he had an understanding of the congratulations from outside.

Among them, the highest status was naturally held by Master Sanchuan, the head of Qianying Square.

Additionally, representatives from Caifeng Tower, Dao Yu Sect, and other Nascent Soul Level forces stationed here were present.

Lastly, there were several miscellaneous congratulatory messages and invitations, all from various families of Qianying Square, hoping Zhou Xun would visit and provide guidance.

For Zhou Xun, naturally, there was no interest in these.

Additionally, there were some personal loose cultivator Sound Transmission Talismans, all hoping to join Zhou Xun’s ranks or take him as a mentor.

Having five disciples already in Eastern Wilderness, Zhou Xun naturally had no intention of accepting one here.

Thinking about it, he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, said a few words, and casually tossed it, the Sound Transmission Talisman transformed into a flash of fire, instantly flying out of the cave mansion.

Not long after, four figures arrived at Zhou Xun’s cave mansion door,

led by a graceful middle-aged man, followed by an elderly man with silver hair, a middle-aged man in a blue dao robe, and a youth around twenty years old.

"Wan Xiaoshan...with the people of Qianying Association, here to pay respects to Daoist, congratulations on your core formation celebration!"

He arrived before the cave mansion, both hands clasped, facing the location of the cave mansion, bowed in salute, and sent the message with divine sense, with a hint of respect in his tone.

"So it’s Daoist friends from Qianying Association, Fang Mou extends a warm welcome. Please come in for a talk!" A charming voice called from within the cave mansion.

Immediately,

"Clank, clank, clank"

The cave mansion door opened automatically to both sides, revealing two figures.

One was dressed in white, elegant and graceful, with an otherworldly demeanor, the other was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with a rounded face.

"I am Ye Fan, and this is my martial uncle ’Master Tianni’ Wang Lin; greetings to Daoist friends of Qianying Association!"

"So it’s Daoist Ye and Daoist Wang!"

Master Sanchuan flickering light in his hand, a Jade Bottle flew out from his storage bag:

"Daoist has successfully condensed an Immortal Golden Core, truly a major event in the Cultivation Realm. As the host of this place, I am honored to present this ’Wall Void Pill’, offering considerable benefits for Early-Stage Daoists!"

The "Wall Void Pill", a renowned Tier-Breaking Elixir in the Central Continent Cultivation Realm, can assist Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivators in advancing to the Middle-Stage, exceedingly rare.

"Thank you..."

Zhou Xun smiled faintly, accepting the elixir.

Then, the other three members of Qianying Association each brought out precious treasures as congratulatory gifts.

Zhou Xun accepted them all, then welcomed the four Core Formation fellow cultivators into the cave mansion, patiently discussing the issues to consider during Early-Stage Core Formation cultivation.

The few spared no detail, expressing their understanding without reservation.

Even Zhou Xun at present gained considerable insights.

"Daoist now has formed an Immortal Golden Core, certainly causing a stir in the Central Continent. Has Daoist Ye joined any faction?"

Master Sanchuan naturally had an intention to recruit Zhou Xun.

"Not yet!" Zhou Xun shook his head.

Master Sanchuan was delighted at hearing this, promptly inquiring:

"Has Daoist Ye heard of the ’Illusion Spirit Sect’? I have come today not only to make friends with Daoist, but also to recruit for ’Illusion Spirit Sect’, where all terms align with those of ’True Monarch Yuanji’!"

Illusion Spirit Sect, like Dao Yu Sect, also a sect of Hong Country and a member of the Celestial Dao Alliance.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun displayed surprise, and the other three of Qianying Association were equally astonished.

It seemed to be the first time hearing about Master Sanchuan’s connection with Illusion Spirit Sect.

"Can Daoist represent ’Illusion Spirit Sect’!" Zhou Xun was taken aback.

"My father is the Supreme Elder of ’Illusion Spirit Sect’!"
