I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

The activated Five Thunder Beads transformed into five differently colored lightning bolts, striking the Southern Dipper Star Chart.

In an instant.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion erupted.

The two people, who were already nearly two hundred meters apart, were immediately either knocked back or blasted away.

Naturally, the one knocked back was Lu Jie. His hair was slightly disheveled, and his once immaculate robe now had some black marks upon it.

However, he paid no heed, already roaring as he charged toward Han Yi. The magic treasure silver sword had already taken a step towards Han Yi, shooting at him with blazing speed.

On the other side.

Regret flashed in the eyes of the blasted away Han Yi. The purple light from the Seven Star Kunwu Sword instantly dimmed.

Without any hesitation, he turned and fled again.

The silver sword struck the spot where he had been, only to blast him away once more. This time, he couldn’t help but cough up blood uncontrollably.

In an instant.

One chased and one fled, quickly moving farther apart.

The explosion behind them had not yet completely dissipated.

This time, Han Yi had no luck. Suddenly, an idea came to him, and he made a sharp turn, heading to the side.

Behind him, Lu Jie sneered coldly. No matter how you flee, there’s only one road to death.

After ten breaths’ time.

Lu Jie, who was behind, frowned deeply because he noticed that the terrain was getting higher the further he went. In other words, the two of them were heading upward at the moment.

With a thought, he already knew what was ahead and Han Yi’s intention.

However, his heart still sneered coldly.

This place was already in the outer perimeter of Mirage Immortal Mountain. The Mirage Immortal Mountain covered a vast area, with its extended parts radiating a hundred kilometers.

However, even if they entered the Mirage Immortal Mountain, Lu Jie was not worried. The other party must want to seize the opportunity offered by the Mirage Immortal Illusion to attract many cultivators and get rid of him by drawing them in.

But he also had another identity – he was an elder of the Southern Dipper Divine Palace. As long as he claimed that the Heavenly Will Sect cultivator was causing trouble in the Southern Dipper Divine Palace’s territory and had been caught by him in the process, he wondered who would dare to interfere.

The Heavenly Will Sect’s reputation was not good, while the Southern Dipper Divine Palace was one of the Three Great Sects of Daqian. Right and wrong were clear at a glance.

As for the Mirage Immortal Illusion on Mirage Immortal Mountain, he didn’t believe that he would be so unlucky as to encounter it in the next few hours.

The Mirage Immortal Illusion appeared once every hundred years, and although it had not yet arrived this time, the time was also close to the end of the hundred years, possibly arriving within the next half month.

But Lu Jie was not always on the Mirage Immortal Mountain when pursuing Han Yi. All he needed was another quarter of an hour, and the other party would not be able to run anymore. The Spiritual Talismans would be used up, and he would be able to kill him with a single sword strike.

Han Yi, who was running at the front, was also acting out of desperation.

He had just visualized his current location in Shu Du and found himself between the Ninth Immortal Ring and the Eighth Immortal Ring, but not yet at the Eighth Immortal Ring. There was no neighborhood within several hundred kilometers, but there was a mountain marked with a conspicuous symbol.

Mirage Immortal Mountain.

He instantly recalled the three times he had entered and left Shu Du when people were checking and reminding him not to make trouble due to the Mirage Immortal Mountain. He also remembered the information about Mirage Immortal Mountain and Mirage Immortal Illusion that Zhou Su had mentioned while he was at the Profound Immortal Pill Shop.

That was why he chose to change direction and head towards Mirage Immortal Mountain.

There must be a large gathering of cultivators at Mirage Immortal Mountain now, including those in the Qi Cultivation Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, and even possibly Nascent Soul Stage.

Of course.

Han Yi did not think that the Mirage Immortal Illusion would descend while he was entering Mirage Immortal Mountain.

There was no such coincidence in the world.

He just wanted to get closer to places with more cultivators. Where there were people, there were variables, and there was a possibility of finding a chance to escape. For example, if there were official cultivators of Daqian, his Four Orders Inspector token should be somewhat useful.

The range of Mirage Immortal Mountain was vast, so once he entered its extended area, Han Yi encountered more than a dozen scattered cultivators. However, the strongest among those cultivators was only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. They sensed Han Yi and Lu Jie’s momentum and speed from afar and avoided them well in advance.

Han Yi did not draw them in, as these cultivators could not withstand a single slash and were no match for the Golden Core cultivator behind him, let alone block for the time of a finger snap.

If he tried to cause trouble but failed, the other party might block him instead, causing trouble for himself.

As Han Yi started to feel anxious, he noticed that his spiritual power was already less than half, and his speed had dropped. Meanwhile, the Golden Core cultivator behind him remained at the same speed, gradually closing the distance between them.

Lu Jie behind them noticed this change and revealed a sinister smile on his face.

At this point, he no longer considered Han Yi as an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator but as one who had already surpassed the Foundation Establishment stage, yet not reached the extent of a true Golden Core cultivator.

In the Cultivation World, Qi Cultivating cultivators who could temporarily stand up to Foundation Establishment cultivators and escape from them were called Legends.

Similarly, there were such cultivators among those in the Foundation Establishment stage. However, they were not called Legends but something simpler.

Half-step Golden Core.

There were two types of Half-step Golden Cores, one based on combat power and the other based on realm.

Combat power was easier to understand: it was when one’s combat power was above the Foundation Establishment stage but not yet at the Golden Core stage.

In terms of realm, it referred to cultivators who had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and began to condense a semi-solid Golden Core in the center of their Spirit Sea. At this point, the Golden Core was also called a False Core, so cultivators who had broken through to the Half-step Golden Core realm were also called False Core Cultivators..
