“How about Hundred-Year Thunder Jade?” Luo Chen blurted out.

A flicker of joy crossed Fei Ming’s heart; indeed, he was on track!

He was inclined to agree.

But if such an unequal trade were known by Jueqing Fairy and Hao Ranzi, and once it got out, others might mock him for bullying the weak and abusing his position.

Fei Ming suppressed the emotions in his heart and smiled, “In that case, I’d be taking too much advantage. Are you really willing to part with it?”

“There is nothing about being willing or not,” Luo Chen said candidly. “As long as Ascendant Master is in Tianlan for one more day and favors Luo Tian Creed for one more day, there’s nothing better than that.”

Is it really that simple?

Fei Ming’s smile was becoming harder to hide.

To favor a power made up of rogue cultivators was nothing more than a word from him, just a slight expression of attitude.

He intended to strike the deal then and there, but after a thought, he added, “Are you sure you have no other conditions?”

Luo Chen had intended to stop there, but seeing the expression on the other’s face, he suddenly changed his mind.

The other party truly didn’t want to leave any handle.

Having gained an advantage and still acting clever.

If that was the case, why should he be courteous?

Without hesitation, he said, “Ascendant Master should know that I have exchanged a Simple Technique of Pill Formation secret art from your esteemed sect.”

“Hmm, I am aware of that, ‘Enclosure Getaway,’ right! That secret art was acquired by one of our junior members during his travels in another domain,” Fei Ming paused, looking at Luo Chen with a chuckling expression, “You’re interested in understanding this Core Formation Secret Art, aren’t you?”

He spoke without much concern, as if he didn’t think highly of the technique.

But Luo Chen was not one to let go of any doctrine that could aid in Core Formation.

“I would ask the senior to enlighten me!”

“Enlightenment is too much to claim; it’s just some experiences and observations,” Fei Ming waved his hand, his gaze resting on Luo Chen, showing a look of appreciation, “Truth be told, this secret art is indeed perfect for you!”

Perfect?

Luo Chen was taken aback.

Following the other’s gaze, Luo Chen looked at his own body.

He was beginning to realize something.

While he felt uncertain, the guidance from Fei Ming’s ears gradually came.

“What is a solid enclosure, if not the body itself as the enclosure?”

“How to escape it?”

“Golden Core escapes it!”

“The stronger the body, the stronger the solid enclosure, and the stronger the Golden Core that can be condensed, not merely a Golden Core seed with a hint of shape.”

“With your physique, using this method, the effects will be no less than a Medium Technique of Pill Formation Secret Art.”

“Of course, this also involves the respective external catalysis; without it, relying solely on one’s own power is not enough to condense a strong Golden Core capable of breaking through the solid enclosure. As for what the external catalyst is, that’s where the various Core Formation Spirit Pills come into play…”

…

Several days have passed since Luo Chen returned from Fei Ming.

His few Hundred-Year Thunder Jades were traded to the other party on the spot.

Naturally, Fei Ming was chuckling joyfully, thoroughly pleased.

In his view, Luo Chen, merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, having even one Thunder Jade was more than enough; the excess was a mere liability.

After all the favor he had shown, helping and providing Fourth-Stage materials like Trace Mud, along with answering questions about Core Formation.

Trading one Hundred-Year Thunder Jade was giving plenty of face to Luo Chen.

Of course!

Luo Chen didn’t feel like he had lost out, either.

The Hundred-Year Thunder Jade was indeed valuable, but he had no use for it at the moment, and he had numerous Thousand Years Thunder Jades for the future.

Trading it for something he could use right now was even more reasonable.

Plus, he had acquired the friendship of a Golden Core Ascendant Master!

In the days upon returning.

Luo Chen, aside from cultivating, occasionally studied the “Enclosure Getaway” secret art.

Combining Fei Ming’s words, his understanding deepened.

This secret art, unlike the Dragon Phoenix Tribulation which takes the path of balanced water and fire, condenses a Golden Core seed through the onslaught of violent Spirit Qi.

First, it requires a Core Formation Spirit Pill containing immense Spirit Qi.

Fei Ming suggested three types: the covert pill Asking Tripod Pill of Yu Ding Sword Sect, the Evergreen Pill which is the specialty of Medicine King Sect, and the Dark Sea Pill from Dark Abyss Sect.

All three could meet this criterion.

Then, one must have a physique capable of withstanding this huge surge of Spirit Qi.

Otherwise, before the Golden Core seed could even coalesce, the solid enclosure would break, leaving no room for talk of escaping the enclosure.

No wonder Fei Ming said “Enclosure Getaway” was very suitable for Luo Chen.

He had, after all, witnessed Luo Chen’s terrifyingly strong body on the Danxia battlefield, withstanding a blow from Qin Tairan and not dying.

Luo Chen’s body was naturally a formidable solid enclosure!

As for the last condition, it was common to all Core Formation Secret Techniques.

The Divine Soul must be intact!

Powerful or not is another matter, but it should at least be free of defects.

Otherwise, even if Core Formation is successful, one might still fail at the final step.

“This technique is indeed very compatible with me,”

“But the success rate is relatively low, just like other Simple Techniques, only able to improve by ten percent. Who knows if it will be enough to refine through the great tides and produce some real gold.”

“Moreover, I lack the corresponding Core Formation Spirit Pills.”

The Dragon Transformation Pill of Qingdan Valley is still a bit weak.

Luo Chen had used it before to break into the Seventh Level Foundation Establishment.

But that’s all it did.

Perhaps with the Ice Phoenix Pill from the Ice Castle, the medicinal strength might be stronger.

However, its strength is also very limited.

“Asking Tripod Pill from Sword Sect, Evergreen Pill from Medicine King Sect, Dark Sea Pill from Dark Abyss Sect…”

Luo Chen’s eyes flickered, his mind made up.

He would first have Luo Tian Creed keep an eye out and gather some for him.

If he could assemble a few.

When he reached Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization, lacking any other method, he could still use this secret art to form his Core.
