The Shao Clan was originally a third-rate force that was attached to the Chaos Pavilion, Therefore, he knew the strength of the Primordial Chaos Pavilion very well. However, hearing Li Xiangjun's exact numbers, she was still shocked. Even if the disciples below Foundation Establishment were ignored, the seventeen Golden Core disciples were enough to be terrifying. One had to know that there were three late Golden Core disciples among them. These three were even more terrifying than the four mid-Golden Core disciples and ten early Golden Core disciples combined. Most importantly, there was the Primordial Chaos Elder Demon Throne, Huan Dashan. Right now, everyone was silent. The air was filled with a dull and oppressive atmosphere. Even Fatty Li, who was happy and energetic, had wilted. In this confrontation with the Primordial Chaos Pavilion, there was a high chance that "a soldier who died as a confidant" would die.
Everyone's reaction was within Chu Jun's expectations. They calmly said, "Tell us about our strength!"
Li Xiangjun was obviously prepared. She nodded and said, "We have a total of six Gold Cores. En, we also have a peak Fourth Grade Snow Jade Fragrant Yin Fox. In addition, the combat strength of Fan Jian and Shangguan Yu is equivalent to one Gold Core. Let's not call them nine Gold Cores by force!"
It was obvious to everyone that Fan Jian was able to fight a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator alone. Although Shangguan Yu was seriously injured, he defeated He He Mujian at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, which was equivalent to a Golden Core realm cultivator.
"Among them, the Shaogan Clan's Clan Master is in the Middle Gold Core realm. Sister Zhao Yu is confident that she will reach the Middle Gold Core realm within three months. Then, Little Snow will also be able to reach the Fifth Grade Transformation realm!" Li Xiangjun glanced at Chu Jun and continued, "Everyone can see Master's battle prowess. He has no problem dealing with a late Gold Core warrior. Therefore, according to his maximum battle prowess, we have a spirit beast at the early Nascent Soul stage, a late Gold Core warrior, two mid Gold Core warriors, and six early Gold Core warriors!"
Although this was a bit unreasonable, it was reasonable for Mian Qiang to say that the gap in strength between the two sides seemed to have narrowed. Everyone's suppressed mood couldn't help but relax a little.
Appropriate disparities could make people struggle, and disparities in strength could make people despair. Chu Jun instructed Li Xiangjun to say this in order to let everyone see a sliver of hope. After all, hope was the motive force that supported people to fight.
"Even so, the opponent still has two more late Gold Core stage, two mid Gold Core stage, and four early Gold Core stage!" A late Foundation Establishment expert from the Shao Clan shouted loudly.
Chu Jun nodded his head and said, "That's why the other party's strength is still greater than ours!"
"It's a lot more than that!" The Foundation Establishment cultivator corrected loudly.
Chu Jun smiled, "In other words, we need more Golden Core experts to check and balance!"
Shao Qian and the others' eyes lit up. They knew that Chu Jun had a very close relationship with the Immortal Cultivation Guild. Perhaps they could invite experts from the Immortal Cultivation Guild to help them. This was also the reason why most of the Shao Clan agreed to attach themselves to the Zhengtian Sect. After all, even someone of Liu Suifeng and Xu Wei's level had personally helped Chu Jun.
"Where did you get the Golden Core expert? The Immortal Cultivator Guild?" Shao Min asked what everyone wanted to ask.
"No, the Immortal Cultivator Guild will not help us this time. You'd better die this heart. We have to rely on ourselves!"
The moment Chu Jun said those words, the expressions of Huang Qi and the others changed greatly. The reason why they were still so calm was because the Immortal Cultivator Guild, this damned bastard, actually said that he was on his own. That was simply impossible to play with.
"Brother Chu, are you kidding me? I want to die!"
"Chu Jun, are you serious?" Daoist Wenyue said in a deep voice.
Chu Jun waved his hand, "Calm down. The Immortal Cultivator Guild won't be able to help us again, but we can help ourselves!"
Shao Kun asked with a dark face, "How can I help?"
"Increase your strength and allow Foundation Establishment to advance to the Golden Core realm!"
Chu Jun's words stunned everyone again. His eyes were as if he was looking at an idiot. Do you think that if a vegetable market bought vegetables, how could a Gold Core be so easy to advance? Some people would never be able to concoct a Gold Core in their lifetime, let alone just three months.
Huang Qi's heart skipped a beat as she blurted out, "Chu Jun, do you have a way to increase everyone's strength?"
Chu Jun smiled and nodded, "That's right, I do have a way to make late Foundation Establishment cultivators advance to the Golden Core Stage, but I have to take some risks!"
The entire arena immediately boiled, allowing late Foundation Establishment cultivators to directly enter the Golden Core Stage. This was too heaven-defying. No matter how risky it was, there would probably still be people willing to try it. Most of the people present had Foundation Establishment cultivations, and many of them were at the late Foundation Establishment stage. Yu Zhenzi, Huang Qi, Adept Wenyue, and the others were all at Foundation Establishment.
"Chu Jun, are you telling the truth?" Zhenzi Yu couldn't help but ask excitedly. However, when Chu Jun's bright gaze came, her heart trembled slightly and she looked away in panic. Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on Chu Jun and didn't notice her abnormality, except for Li Xiangjun.
Li Xiangjun was shrewd and suspicious. In addition, she was especially attentive to everything about Chu Jun. Last time, she teased Chu Jun and noticed that this little man's expression was abnormal. Unfortunately, Chu Jun and Yu Zhenzi didn't meet much. She didn't have a chance to observe even if she wanted to. But this time, she caught him in the middle. The corners of Li Xiangjun's mouth curled up slightly, like a fox that had caught a chick. He thought to himself, "There must be a problem between them. Humph!"
A sour smell rose in Li Xiangjun's heart, and he wasn't angry at all. This bastard even ate Yu Zhen Zi, so why didn't he eat my mother? He angered me to death!
Chu Jun smiled warmly at Yu Zhenzi, "Of course it's true, but I'll sell this matter first. Xiangjun, continue!"
Everyone's curiosity couldn't help but be hung up. Unfortunately, this fellow was still hiding something. Everyone was so angry that their teeth itched. Including Yu Zhenzi, they all stared at Chu Jun with unkind eyes. Li Xiangjun also gave Chu Jun a charming look, but the meaning was different from the others, causing Chu Jun to be puzzled.
"The Golden Core comparison is over. Let's compare the Foundation Establishment experts!" After Li Xiangjun flew over Chu Jun's eyes, he continued, "This sect has nine Foundation Establishment experts, five of whom are at the late Foundation Establishment stage. The Shao Clan has 32 Foundation Establishment experts, of whom 10 are at the late Foundation Establishment stage!"
At this time, the Shao Clan's foundation was more than three times stronger than the Zhengtian Clan. If it weren't for the fact that the Feng Clan had lost more than twenty people in the battle, the Feng Clan would have had nearly sixty Foundation Establishment experts.
After that, Li Xiangjun compared Spirit Condensation and Spirit Refinement disciples. The Zhengtian Sect had eighteen Spirit Condensation disciples and thirty-seven Spirit Refinement disciples, while the Shao Clan had more than a hundred Spirit Condensation disciples. The number of Spirit Refinement disciples was close to two hundred, nearly ten times that of the Zhengtian Sect. This was the foundation. It was the foundation that he had accumulated over a long period of time. A large number of middle and lower echelons could provide the upper echelons with an endless stream of outstanding talents. This was simply incomparable to the Zhengtian Sect that had just been established. Right now, the Heavenly Sect had a bit of a top-heavy and light-footed aura, which was extremely detrimental to its future development. Once the upper echelons withered, there would not be enough people below to replenish it. This sect would be considered crippled.
All of their strength had been compared. Regardless of whether it was Golden Core, Building Stage, Spirit Condensation, or Spirit Refinement Stage disciples, they were still far behind the Primordial Chaos Pavilion, at least in terms of numbers.
Everyone turned their gazes to Chu Jun, obviously eager to know how Chu Jun would help late Foundation Establishment cultivators advance to the Golden Core Stage.
Chu Jun no longer wanted to play any tricks. He took out a jade bottle from his interspatial ring and poured out two pitch black pills. This was something he and Zhao Yu had spent two days refining. Apart from being black, this pill was ordinary and did not even have a fragrant smell, let alone a lingering splendor or a faint immortal aura.
Everyone's gazes fell on the two pitch black pills. A late Foundation Establishment expert from the Shao Clan was stunned and said, "Damn, what kind of spirit pill is this that can allow a late Foundation Establishment cultivator to advance to the Golden Core realm?"
"This is called the Spirit Devouring Pill, specifically devouring spiritual energy and spiritual energy!" Chu Jun said indifferently.
Huang Qi frowned and said, "Chu Jun, you don't want us to eat this kind of pill, do you?"
Chu Jun grinned, "That's right, Sect Leader Huang Qi, shouldn't you call me Sect Leader? Even though the Heavenly Sect hasn't officially changed its name yet!"
Huang Qi's round face was slightly embarrassed. Daoist Wenyue coldly snorted and said to Huang Qi, "Chu Jun, if the Heavenly Phoenix Sect is not established, we don't need to call you Sect Leader. Also, are you letting us eat this Spirit Devouring Pill to help us or harm us?"
"Elder Wenyue, if you knew how much effort and spirit crystals Chu Jun had expended on this spirit pill, you wouldn't have said that!" Zhao Yu suddenly interrupted. Daoist Wenyue's rudeness made her a little unhappy. After all, she had witnessed with her own eyes how Chu Jun had refined the Spirit Devouring Pill. She had not closed her eyes for five days and five nights, and even exploded the cauldron twice. She felt heartache when she saw it.
Shao Wen asked curiously, "Sect Leader Chu, how many spirit crystals did you spend refining these two items after hiding for a few days?"
"I didn't calculate it carefully. It's about a million spirit crystals!"
Everyone almost fell over, and Shao Wen opened his mouth in exaggeration. His eyes almost popped out and he said, "A million?"
"Almost there. There are nearly 50 kinds of spirit medicines in it. Among them, there are 26 kinds of fourth-grade spirit medicines and above!"
Everyone was shocked once again. The gazes they looked at Chu Jun were all like they were looking at a monster. How could nearly 50 medicinal powers be fused together? Even a master-level alchemist wouldn't be able to do so, right? Refining medicine was not a simple matter, otherwise, anyone would be able to become an alchemist.
Everyone quarreled for a while, but Shao Qian finally couldn't help but ask, "Sect Leader Chu, even if this Spirit Swallowing Pill of yours is worth 1,000,000, what use is it to us?"
Chu Jun smiled and said, "The cost price of raw materials is one million. After becoming a pill, this price will probably double several times. I think someone should be willing to pay three to five million!"
"If this really allows Foundation Establishment cultivators to advance to the Golden Core realm, I think it's worth it!" Shao Gan nodded in agreement.
"Patriarch Shao, the Spirit Devouring Pill can devour spiritual energy. From another angle, it can gather all of its spiritual energy. If you eat it into your dantian, what do you think the consequences will be?" Chu Jun smiled.
All the Golden Core Stage cultivators present were shocked. They had all experienced the process of forming a core. They knew that the spiritual sea in their dantian would explode to form a core when it grew to a certain extent. All of their spiritual energy was absorbed onto the core and accumulated thicker and thicker. In the end, they formed a golden core. After being tempered by heavenly tribulation, they would be able to completely form a core. This was a process from quantitative to qualitative.
"Heavens, you … you want an artificial golden core?" Shao Kun blurted out in shock.
Chu Jun said calmly, "You can say that, but not all of them. Those who consume pills must first meet the requirements of the late Foundation Establishment stage. It is best if they are at the late Foundation Establishment stage. This way, the chances of success will be very high!"
"What if I fail?" Huang Qi asked in a deep voice.
Chu Jun shrugged, "I said there would be some risks!"
"Failure is death. Isn't this a bit risky?" Huang Qi glared at Chu Jun angrily.
