While Shirong had obtained two hundred drops of spirit qi in total from the beasts that he had killed, he did not know that it was a mere fraction of the amount that Lin Wu himself had taken.
Lin Wu brought out the host data window and saw the spirit qi that he now had.

——
HOST CULTIVATION: Late stage of the Qi Refining Realm

QI STORAGE: 15002 units [liquid spirit qi]

"I reckon ten times as much spirit qi should be enough for me to reach the core condensation realm in one go, Hehe." Lin Wu thought to himself.
"Alright, system you know what to do. Make it as flashy as possible, we want to impress the audience."
~Ding~
——
UPGRADING CULTIVATION BASE: Please wait patiently.
——
That's right, what Lin Wu was intending to do was none other than breakthrough to the core condensation realm. He was doing this not only to increase his cultivation base but also to keep Shirong's interest.
~Shua~
Suddenly a strong wave of spirit qi was released from the green crystal spear. Shirong was taken aback and almost let go of the spear.
"Young Master, what's happening?" Bei Wen questioned with apprehension.
The three of them had felt something similar back when they were inside the crater and were thus a bit shocked.
"I… I don't know." Shirong replied as he watched the spear.
The concentration of spirit qi in the area started rapidly rising, and Shirong found it hard to keep a hold on the spear. It was as if the spear was trying to fly away from his hand.
"Aargh!" Shirong cried and let go of the spear, which had suddenly turned burning hot.
The spear flew from his arm and floated up to a short distance in the air. Blades of wind swirled around the spear, and Shirong could feel the aura of the spear increase through the connection.
~Ding~

"What are you waiting for? Continue!" Lin Wu ordered the system.
The spear started humming with power as the concentration of spirit qi in the environment rose again.
"The spear… it's getting stronger?" Bei Wen uttered with astonishment.
Shirong looked at the two men, Ye Dai and Bei Wen with a dangerous look in his eyes.
"You two know what to speak and what not, right?" Shirong asked in a cold tone.
~Gulp~
The two followers gulped in fear before responding, "Yes, Young Master!"
Shirong nodded his head and then focused on the Green Crystal spear, whose aura was growing more and more with each second.
A blinding green light burst out of the spear as an oppressive might exuded from the spear. Even though it was the middle of the afternoon and the sun was blazing at the top of their heads, the light of the spear still drowned out the light of the sun.
Just from this, one could guess the amount of power contained within the spear.
But this was merely the start as soon the three men found their skin to be heating up. It was mild at first and was the same as being heated by the sun. But soon the temperature started rising.
"Wha-what is this!" Ye Dai uttered with fear.
"The heat… how?" Bei Wen stuttered.
"It's the spear, get back!" Shirong shouted.
The three of them moved a hundred meters back and finally felt a bit relieved. But even if the heat on their skin was reduced, the pressure that the spear was exuding was not gone.
Meanwhile, Lin Wu was rejoicing in his mind. Everything was going exactly as he wanted it to be.
~Ding~

CULTIVATING BASE UPGRADED: New realm reached - Core condensation realm.
NOTIFICATION: Initiate condensing beast core?
——
"Is that even a question? JUST DO IT!" Lin Wu ordered.
~Hualala~
Rhythmic waves of energy exuded off the spear as it started spinning. The three men were taken aback as they thought that the entire process was close to ending.
"Young Master, I fear this may go beyond or capabilities. The disturbance in the spirit qi that the spear is causing it is extending." Ye Dai stated.
A frown appeared on Shirong's face as he knew what could happen if anyone else came here after noticing the spirit qi fluctuations. He didn't exactly know what the spear was doing except for the fact that it was increasing in strength, as that was what he could perceive from its aura.
Shirong gritted his teeth and took out a bunch of things from his spatial storage ring.
"Here, take these and quickly set up an isolating formation array," Shirong ordered the two.
"Yes, Young Master." Ye Dai and Bei Wen quickly took the components of a formation array from Shirong and started setting them up.
They planted eight flags in an octagonal pattern and then placed sixteen talismans in the gaps of the octagon. They gestured with their hands and formed a multitude of mudras. Formation runes appeared in the air as they started to embed themselves into the air.
Meanwhile, Shirong took out a formation plate and poured spirit qi into it, completing the isolating formation array. And just as he did, an explosion happened.
~Hong~
Spirit qi converged upon the green crystal spear as it started to rapidly pour into the spear. The heat that they had felt before returned, and this time with an even higher temperature.
"Go to the very edge of the formation!" Shirong shouted.
The three of them retreated and held on. They could not leave the formation or it would stop working and expose the phenomena that the spear was going through.

Lin Wu looked at the shocked faces of the three men and let out an almost audible laugh.
Shirong could swear that he heard something, but he pushed the thought to the back of his mind as the pressure increased once more.
