Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1320: Chapter 500: Three Main Ingredients of the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, Divine Kite Tail, Purple Monkey Flower, Five Elements Lotus Stand_2 Chapter 1320: Chapter 500: Three Main Ingredients of the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, Divine Kite Tail, Purple Monkey Flower, Five Elements Lotus Stand_2 Luo Chen had accumulated considerable depth of knowledge over the years and had even developed his own pill refinement techniques, yet they were limited to the First and Second Order.

One might call it a pill refinement technique, but upon closer scrutiny, it could be seen as nothing more than a mere trick or a secret method.

He reflected aloud, “Thinking about it now, Master Mu should really be considered my teacher.”

The woman smiled slightly, “Friend, you flatter me.”

Luo Chen shook his head and did not say much more.

What she didn’t know was how pivotal this Water Method Pill Refinement Technique had been on his path of cultivation.

Without it, he wouldn’t have been able to refine the “Emperor Liquor” necessary for Foundation Establishment.

Not only would he have been unable to establish his foundation, but also Murong Qinglian, Gu Caiyi, and several other cultivators from the Luo Tian Sect who relied on the “Emperor Liquor” for their foundation establishment would not have been able to continue their paths.

“Speaking of which, you participated in the significant event of concocting the Nascent Soul Formation Pill at Qingdan Valley back then, could you perhaps share some details about that time?”

Mu Yunyan’s eyes focused intensely on Luo Chen, a thirst for knowledge evident in her gaze.

Luo Chen’s mind stirred, again this way!

It was the same with Meng Changshou from the Medicine King Sect; Mu Yunyan was no different.

These standout Third Order Pill Refiners were all quite curious about the crafting of the Fourth Order Nascent Soul Pills!

But this was normal.

If Luo Chen hadn’t taken part in that particular pill refinement, and had he heard about it and had a chance to meet someone involved, he too would likely have humbly asked for guidance.

Seeing Luo Chen deep in thought, Mu Yunyan sighed and said, “Speaking of which, Qing Danzi had also intended to invite me to help back then. Unfortunately, due to the interests of the Sect, I ultimately couldn’t make the journey.”

Luo Chen was astounded!

Was there really such an intrigue?

Upon reflection, it did seem quite plausible.

Before he had advanced to the Golden Core Stage, Mu Yunyan, whose pill refinement skills were comparable to the three elders of Tai Dan Court, was actually the most suitable choice for the sixth participant.

It seemed that Qingdan Valley had not wanted to engage too deeply with the Luo Yun Sect, and thus had settled for Luo Chen as an alternative.

He chuckled, “That’s indeed a pity. If it had been Master Mu, perhaps the endeavor would have succeeded back then.”

“You are too modest, friend,” Mu Yunyan said with a light smile. “From what I’ve observed, even if your pill refinement skills aren’t as formidable as mine, you are still excellent among Third Order Pill Refiners. Besides, the success of forming Nascent Soul Pills depends more on the lead refiner. Whether it was you or me there, we would only play a supporting role, not a decisive one.”

Luo Chen nodded, acknowledging her words.

Now that the topic was open, there was no need for reservations.

Luo Chen straightforwardly shared the details of the pill refinement process that day.

He did not avoid mentioning any sensitive information, as Qingdan Valley hadn’t imposed any restrictions on discussing the matter, and external observers from Tian Fan City and Hehuan Sect had been present that day.

Secrecy was impossible.

However, as a direct participant, Luo Chen’s account provided a deeper and more reliable set of details.

From the Qingdan Array, to the choice of Pill Refiners, and the handling of auxiliary materials…

Bit by bit, Luo Chen recounted fluently.

Throughout this process, Mu Yunyan listened attentively, and Luo Chen occasionally paused to ask if she had any better solutions.

Actually, Luo Chen had his own ulterior motive!

He hoped that by discussing this past pill refinement session with Meng Changshou and Mu Yunyan and others’ perspectives, he could continuously reevaluate the session.

If a better solution emerged, once he reached the Late Golden Core Stage and obtained the specific Nascent Soul Formation Pill Recipe from Qingdan Valley, he would definitely gather the ingredients and refine the Nascent Soul Formation Pill himself!

“A Thousand-year Ginseng, yet treated with a five-hundred-year method? Strange… Why would Qing Danzi make such an obvious mistake.”

“No, that’s not right!”

“This is to preserve the medicinal properties for a final explosive integration.”

“Wait, why was the Qimeng Fruit processed to a deep purple level? Logically, after blending with two other materials, it should be light purple. What’s the mystery here?”

“Ah, I see!”

“The combination of Qimeng Fruit and Luo Life Pills would normally result in light purple. However, doing so would neutralize the medicinal power. Taking it all and combining it with another material epstein barr virus maximally, it would be easier to merge with other medicinal liquids.”

“Was the main pill technique the Juniper Heron Hand?”

“This choice is indeed clever, because this Nascent Soul Pill leans towards the Fire Element. That is precisely why Qing Danzi gathered five of you Pill Refiners who possess Original Source True Fire.”

Phrase by phrase, whether questioning, realizing, or talking to herself, the woman articulated her thoughts.

Initially, Luo Chen felt that her pill refinement skills were incredibly advanced, and her elucidating remarks instantly resolved the doubts he had harbored over the years.

Indeed, he even felt that Mu Yunyan’s pill refinement skills surpassed those of Meng Changshou from the Medicine King Sect, who was well-renowned!

But gradually, Luo Chen realized that something was amiss.

Maybe it wasn’t that Mu Yunyan’s skills were superior?

Rather, was she extremely familiar with the Nascent Soul Pill formula?

Thus, she was able to purposefully point out its strengths and weaknesses.

When Luo Chen realized this, the details he mentioned increasingly led towards areas he was unfamiliar with.

Under his subtle guidance, Mu Yunyan also provided answers one by one.

“The handling of the Divine Kite Tail is not an issue, it should indeed be cut and then used in the medicine.”

“Purple Monkey Flower, no, I think another Pill Technique should be used.”

Luo Chen was shocked, the one resembling a monkey’s brain that he didn’t recognize back then was called Purple Monkey Flower!

He pursed his lips and tentatively asked, “Why does Qing Danzi need to wrap the medicine liquid with the Lotus Platform at the critical moment of merging medicine powers?”

Mu Yunyan naturally said, “A Cultivator’s Nascent Soul Formation follows the path of ‘Three Flowers Gathering at the Head’ and ‘Five Qi Towards the Yuan.’ When successful, Earth-sprung Golden Lotuses will appear and heavenly flowers will fall chaotically. This Five Elements Lotus uses the Lotus Platform instead of Lotus Seeds, naturally adhering to the principle of Earth-sprung Golden Lotus, supporting the Great Dao. The logic of pills and cultivation are often interconnected. Friend Luo, you couldn’t be unaware…”

At this point, she suddenly stopped and looked at Luo Chen with a half-smiling expression.

“So, it was the Five Elements Lotus Platform!”

Luo Chen muttered to himself internally, memorizing the name of this Fourth Order main material.

Now that he knew all the ingredients needed for crafting the Nascent Soul Pill,

He could start collecting them in advance if he encountered them!

Afterwards, he sincerely bowed to Mu Yunyan.

“Thank you for pointing that out, Friend!”

The corners of the woman’s mouth slightly lifted, already reacting to Luo Chen’s earlier actions.

Yet, she didn’t get angry.

Instead, she even gave him another tip.

“The older the Five Elements Lotus Platform, the better, at least five hundred years old. According to what you said, Qing Danzi’s Pill Refinement Technique indeed surpasses ours, but the quality of the Five Elements Lotus Platforms he collected was poor, only five or six hundred years old at most, no wonder he failed more than a dozen times.”

Luo Chen kept all these words in his heart.

One day, he would surely follow in Qing Danzi’s footsteps and reach this stage.

The tips from Mu Yunyan were indeed a great favor.

“Enough, let’s conclude our discussion for today, I need to go back and digest all this information.”

Mu Yunyan suggested leaving.

Luo Chen naturally did not insist on her staying, as he too needed to digest the knowledge just shared.

As he personally walked her to the door, Luo Chen casually said,

“I’m new here and don’t know many people. I’m planning to hold a private gathering in a few days, would you be available to join?”

Mu Yunyan nodded, “If nothing unexpected arises, I will surely come!”

After saying this, the woman summoned a white cloud and drifted away.

Watching her departing figure, Luo Chen took a deep breath.

He had confirmed something!

The Nascent Soul Pill formula from Qingdan Valley, Luo Yun Sect must also possess a copy!

Perhaps, the copy from Qingdan Valley was even provided by Luo Yun Sect.

However,

“Such a pursuit of herbal material age and quality while maintaining simplicity in medicinal properties, clearly isn’t a product of modern times; it must be an Ancient Pill Recipe.”

“I wonder where Luo Yun Sect obtained it from?”

Luo Chen shook his head and returned to his Cave Mansion.

Meanwhile, a transmission was sent, and Zeng Yilong soon arrived in the Cave Mansion.

Luo Chen planned to host a Golden Core small gathering under his own name.

First, to network and meet most of the strong figures on the front line.

Second, to save himself the hassle of these people visiting one by one.

Why visit each individually when a gathering could solve it?

While utilizing this Golden Core gathering to establish his reputation, he also aimed to find new buyers for the Starry Pill.

Additionally, to see if he could collect a Fire Spirit Drill.

Now at the Golden Core Second Layer, his Natal Magic Item still nowhere to be seen, Luo Chen was, truthfully, somewhat anxious.
