I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life-Chapter 199 - 99: True Core of the Middle Tier (3)
However, because there was still stored Magical Power in the Dantian that hadn’t been fully released, he could continue to maintain Spiritual Pressure. Moreover, his Divine Soul was already comparable to the Late Stage of Core Formation, naturally powerful, allowing Li Jizhou not to worry too much for the time being.
Thus, three more days passed.
"Zheng~" a resonant sound arose.
The crystal pill in the Dantian completely condensed into shape, becoming one with the Primordial Chaos.
Li Jizhou let out a long breath.
This already counted as a successful condensation of the pill.
At the very least, it had secured a Fake Pill.
The next step mainly depended on the quality.
After the crystal pill completely formed, its rotation speed slowed, and the Spiritual Pressure in the Dantian began to dissipate.
As the Spiritual Pressure was released,
the crystal grains of the pill began to change from the inside out.
Color, impurities, the fineness of the crystals...
These were the key factors affecting the pill’s quality.
What is called a Fake Pill occurs at the moment the Spiritual Pressure dissipates, when the crystal grains inside the pill, which aren’t solidly enough condensed, suddenly lose Spiritual Qi and become lifeless, turning the entire crystal pill ashen gray.
Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Objects are added at this moment to imbue the crystal pill with spirituality.
Li Jizhou no longer hesitated and took out half a bottle of Celestial Pure Water, drinking it down one mouthful after another.
"Hualala~" As soon as the Celestial Pure Water touched the crystal pill, it erupted like oil on a hot fire, due to the high temperature of the crystal pill and its frantic absorption of the Celestial Pure Water.
Once the Celestial Pure Water entered the crystal pill, it revealed every tiny detail, with the grain patterns and texture becoming clearly visible. Some impurities were expelled to the surface of the crystal pill.
In just ten breaths, half the bottle of Celestial Pure Water was almost fully absorbed by the crystal pill, and a transformation occurred inside, expelling a layer of impurities from its exterior.
Li Jizhou stared intently at the crystal pill, noting that most of the impurities had dissipated, and the crystal grains were further tightened.
The exterior gradually transformed from opaque white to transparent and lustrous.
"This crystal pill already rivals a lower-tier True Core!" Li Jizhou was not anxious, patiently waiting for the full absorption of the Celestial Pure Water before consuming the Profound Crystal Fruit.

"The spiritual cloud has dissipated, it’s done!" The elder nodded with a smile.
"Grand Elder, what do you think of Brother Li’s pill quality?" Talisman Master Shen asked somewhat enviously.
The elder once again used his Divine Sense to examine the inside of the dojo, but still couldn’t see through it.
"The internal situation is unclear. Just from the speed of the spiritual cloud’s dissipation, it certainly has formed. As for the quality of the pill, that depends on the subsequent removal of impurities and the solidifying of the pill.
However, given his Spirit Root talent and the condition of establishing a Foundation by taking pills, his Magical Power may be relatively weak. At the moment when impurities are removed and Spiritual Pressure just dissipates, he might not be able to replenish Magical Power for the crystal pill in time, likely resulting in a Fake Pill!"
"Congratulations! Achieving a Fake Pill extends your lifespan by two hundred years. Truly wonderful!" Talisman Master Shen exclaimed.
He had stopped at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment in this life, with a lifespan cap of just over two hundred. Now over a hundred years old, without sickness or calamity, he could live only a few more decades at most.
"Hahaha, young man, don’t be sour, living long doesn’t necessarily mean living as freely as you did in this life. Come, let’s play chess instead of watching!" The elder laughed, pulling Talisman Master Shen back to the chess game.
Talisman Master Shen reluctantly cast one last look in the direction of the dojo before finally turning his head, focusing on the chess game.
Three days later, Li Jizhou appeared in high spirits, unable to suppress his smile.
Because after just half a bottle of Celestial Pure Water was fully absorbed, the crystal pill had become entirely jade-green, with impurities negligible, reaching at least mid-tier True Core quality.
"My Eternal Spring Magical Power is thick and enduring, and the effect of year-round storage is wondrous. My vitality and Divine Soul are stronger than ordinary cultivators. Combined with a top-quality Crystal Condensing Pill, this allowed me in this life to achieve pill condensation without using any Spiritual Objects, and now with just Celestial Pure Water, it directly formed a mid-tier True Core!"
"If I take this Profound Crystal Fruit, I might even achieve a Golden Core!" Li Jizhou, slightly excited, picked up the Profound Crystal Fruit, took a deep breath, and swallowed it whole...
