Bai Jue unceremoniously transmitted his thoughts.
"Elder Bai, what you said is not right. My luck has always been terrifyingly good, how could it be this issue."
"Haha! Terrifyingly good indeed, but luck is elusive and for things that cannot be accomplished, I attribute them to lack of luck."
...
Xia Liu was speechless.
It turns out this was Bai Jue's own viewpoint.
"Actually, you could say it's just bad luck; the Supre-Grade Golden Essence that Chen Ye handed you is all useless gilding that cannot be refined to extract Golden Origin."
"This..."
Xia Liu couldn't argue back.
The truth might indeed be this.
This sort of thing really depends on luck!
"Continue refining, maybe the upcoming refinent will surprise you, or perhaps you'll gain nothing at all; adjust your mindset accordingly."
"I understand!"
Xia Liu continued to wield the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire for gold refinent.
The not-so-abundant Supre-Grade Golden Essence, Xia Liu refined for a full two days.
What excited and disappointed him was...
Yesterday, he extracted a sliver of Golden Origin from the gilding!
But it was very faint, and if calculated by his workload and the yield of Golden Origin...
Xia Liu would be exhausted to death for ten years and still not fill the Golden Origin slot to the second tier.
"Elder Bai, refining Supre-Grade Golden Essence seems not to be much use for enhancing Golden Origin."
Xia Liu vented frankly.
After three days of exhaustion, being overly focused on refining, he nearly fainted.
Therefore, Xia Liu began doubting Bai Jue's thod.
"Hmm."
Bai Jue replied with just a "Hmm!"
Leaving Xia Liu almost unable to resist spitting blood.
If Elder Bai had told him sooner, he wouldn't have desperately refined.
"Actually, the Golden Origin you refined, its quantity is quite good. But your Golden Origin is too pure, so this origin is like a drop of jade in the ocean, creating no ripples at all."
"I think so too, but the quality of Golden Origin isn't sothing I can decide..."
Xia Liu said bitterly.
"Ugh! Kid, countless people in the world wish their origin to be as pure as yours, and yet you're complaining?"
"Cough, cough, just kidding, just kidding, it's just to lighten the mood."
Xia Liu joked repeatedly.
Bai Jue returned to the topic, pondered for a while then transmitted a thought.
"Since Supre-Grade Golden Essence is of no use to you, maybe you should go directly to the source of the gilding and absorb the Golden Origin directly!"
"Elder Bai, I completely agree with that idea, directly absorb at the source!"
Xia Liu's blood was stirred into motion.
As long as the Golden Origin reaches tier two.
He can then break through bottlenecks and beco a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator!
Then, the evil cultivators of Chen Kingdom will be the start of his Foundation Establishnt path!
"Chen Ye is about to take you to the palace soon, before that, you must adjust yourself to the best state."
"Understood!"
Xia Liu agreed.
"Before you beco Prince Consort truly, don't ntion the source of gilding; we'll keep quiet and wait."
"I'll listen to Elder Bai."
After responding, Xia Liu sat cross-legged.
He circulated the Five Elents Mantra within himself, correcting his chaotic aura.
...
At dawn, the sound of firecrackers awakened the quiet Ancient Path City.
"Sixth Prince, what's happening?"
Seeing Chen Ye about to step into the courtyard, Xia Liu quickly asked.
"Young Friend Xia, today is the day for the remarkable talents of Ancient Path City to proceed to the next location for assessnt."
"Oh! Truly a reason for celebration everywhere!"
Suddenly thinking of sothing, Xia Liu quickly asked: "Sixth Prince, am I also going with them for the next assessnt?"
"Haha! Young Friend Xia, don't overthink. With your talents, the position of Prince Consort is practically assured. Do you think I'd let you go elsewhere for assessnt?"
Chen Ye laughed unabashedly.
"Haha! To bring honor to you, Sixth Prince, is my privilege!"
"Young Friend Xia, you are too kind, I will need your support in the future."
Chen Ye reiterated his intention.
Unfortunately, Xia Liu saw through it. No matter his flattering words, it couldn't change Xia Liu's mind.
"By the way, Young Friend Xia, can the gilding help you?"
"It can't, but I am still grateful to the Sixth Prince."
"Not at all, I believe you already have a new direction, if you ever need, just tell
anything I can do!"
Chen Ye promised.
"Hmm, Xia Liu thanks the Sixth Prince."
"Let's not discuss these matters, everyone is already waiting in the city's Skywatch Tower, let's set off together."
After nodding, Xia Liu followed Chen Ye to the Skywatch Tower.
In the city's most illustrious restaurant, they were seeing off the talents.
There was one such occasion three years ago.
But the talented youths who went for the Prince Consort assessnt later on were all eliminated.
Today, Ancient Path City welcod the excitent once again.
However, Xia Liu wasn't focused on the discussing crowd below.
On the top floor of Skywatch Tower, there were about three young cultivators.
They were the monsters who stood out among the nurous talented cultivators.
"Let's go!"
With a wave of Chen Ye's hand, five beams of light swiftly departed Ancient Path City.
Midway, Chen Ye handed those three cultivators a scroll, instructing them to proceed to the next assessnt location on their own.
He himself led Xia Liu straight to the Supre Palace of Chen Kingdom!
A month later, Xia Liu finally arrived at the Supre Capital City of Chen Kingdom.
This city was called Jinling Holy City.
It was the capital of Chen Kingdom, with constructions in the city gleaming with a dazzling yellow! No one dared to question Chen Kingdom's wealth.
And coupled with the Gilding Mining Vein.
Chen Kingdom could even potentially invite a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse.
However, Chen Kingdom rarely gets involved in potentially uncontrollable matters.
Though the Cultivation Alliance has so regulations.
Prohibiting third-level Capital Counties from occupying or destroying fourth-level Capital Counties.
But, human nature is unpredictable, who knows if the opponent won't create opportunities and find reasons to make a move.
Thus, Chen Kingdom does not take the initiative in forming alliances, but if approached with sincerity, Chen Kingdom will not refuse.
"Young Friend Xia, within Jinling Holy City, there are at least ten Golden Core Stage experts guarding it. Please refrain from provoking others when I'm not by your side."
"Sixth Prince is overthinking, I never attack without provocation."
The second half of Xia Liu's words went unsaid. With his current cultivation.
Saying the latter half won't be said to avoid being laughed at by this old fellow.
"Young Friend Xia, don't take it to heart, I'm just concerned."
Chen Ye feared Xia Liu misunderstood, so he hurried to explain.
"Rest assured, Sixth Prince, I understand. Where are we heading next?"
"Straight to the palace, and wait a few days for the final election!"
"Hmm? If that election happens in a few days, how do we account for the mid-progress elections in other cities?"
Seeing Chen Ye reveal a flaw, Xia Liu imdiately spoke.
"Haha, Young Friend Xia's chivalrous spirit is truly admirable by an old man like myself. The election in the palace in a few days is solely for the talents brought by the princes. After talents from other locales arrive, the winning talents will continue to compete..."
