Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1595: Chapter 590: Killing Two Birds with One Arrow, The Battle of Decay

The so-called Art of Origin Core is to cultivate Hidden Dust into a cultivator’s second Golden Core.

Because of this core, there will be an opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul level in the future, hence the name ”Origin Core”.

Compared to the Golden Core, there is hardly any difference after the Origin Core is formed.

Even in some aspects, it might even be considered superior!

It is not restricted by the minor realms of a cultivator and possesses a strong degree of malleability.

Its upper limit is only constrained by the Order of the Hidden Dust.

In other words, with the Third-Order Finalization Hidden Dust that Luo Chen holds, as long as he refines it well, he could achieve a realm comparable to the Late Golden Core Stage, despite his own Golden Core being at the fourth layer.

What does this imply?

One would know just by thinking about it.

It means that Luo Chen could possess double, or even several times the Qi Power reserves he currently has!

If Luo Chen had an Origin Core in the battle before, he would not have been short of Qi Power, and he could have freely used all sorts of large-scale Techniques without hesitation.

Let alone facing an assault by six or seven people, even if there were more, he would remain undaunted.

Just this point alone makes the Art of Origin Core worth ten million!

And if in the future the Origin Core were to be developed to the Second Nascent Soul level, its value would be immeasurable!

It’s a Secret Technique that cannot be valued in terms of Spirit Stones.

Not to mention, Luo Chen also has a Nascent Soul Formation Pill Recipe that even common Golden Core Cultivators desperately seek for.

”This time, you’ve really hit the jackpot!”

Han Zhan said with a somewhat sour tone.

In his life, he has rarely made a deal that’s such a loss.

Truly, when under someone’s roof, one must bow one’s head!

Luo Chen smiled, but then said with a somewhat solemn expression: ”This Technique of cultivation is quite difficult!”

Han Zhan said sourly, ”How could it not be difficult? If it wasn’t, I would have cultivated it myself in the past, and wouldn’t have let you benefit.”

The Art of Origin Core has three difficulties.

First, the Hidden Dust requires extremely high quality!

Second, the cultivator must possess a Divine Soul Endowment far surpassing one’s own current level!

Third, the Qi Power must be sufficiently robust, and at least a Third-Order Middle-tier Spirit Land environment is needed for cultivation!

Luo Chen fell into deep thought, assessing his current situation.

The first difficulty has been resolved by him with the Hidden Dust he possesses, certainly a Top Grade Hidden Dust rarely seen in a thousand years in the Immortal Cultivation World.

This Hidden Dust called Yuan Yin might not be powerful in combat, but its realm is genuinely at Third-Order Finalization, comparable to a cultivator at the Golden Core Great Perfection.

However, exactly because of this, the latter two conditions have been raised to an immeasurable height.

”To tell you the truth, your lad’s Divine Soul Endowment is already far beyond that of the majority of Golden Core Cultivators. Even at the fourth layer of Golden Core, you have a Divine Soul Endowment comparable to someone in the Late Golden Core Stage. I even suspect that you’ve secretly practiced our Luo Yun Sect’s Spirit Refining Technique.”

”With this, cultivating the Art of Origin Core is barely feasible.”

”However, your current state of Qi Power is less than half of your peak condition, which is insufficient for cultivating this Technique. Moreover, you do not have a Spirit Land environment of Third-Order Middle-tier or above.”

”Luo Chen, I did not proactively give you the promised Art of Origin Core before precisely because of your current state!”

Hearing Han Zhan’s words, Luo Chen nodded.

After studying the Technique, he understood that what the other party said was true.

But!

”Although I cannot practice the Art of Origin Core yet, some preparations can be started in advance.”

”Are you planning to perform the Qi Pill Diagram now?” Han Zhan asked in surprise.

Luo Chen hummed in affirmation.

”Then how do you plan to deal with the massive energy originally existing in that Hidden Dust?”

”Of course, I will claim it for my own use!”

Luo Chen laughed heartily.

The confidence in his smile made Han Zhan somewhat astonished.

”Are you insane? The power inside it is the energy cultivated by Yuan Yin himself and it’s not compatible with your Qi Power.”

In response.

Luo Chen smiled without saying a word, his eyes and brows brimming with confidence.

Han Zhan was uncertain, but gradually caught on.

The Hidden Dust Clan, though known as Sea Demon Child, is not actually a Demon Beast; their essence is that of a Stone Spirit.

Therefore, the energy they cultivate is not as mixed and rough as that of Demon Beasts.

Even, in the process of continuous refinement, it carries a hint of purity.

After all, besides being called Sea Demon Child, Hidden Dust is also referred to as Pearl Demon.

No pearl fails to exude flawless light after being painstakingly polished thousands of times.

The energy left behind by them does not have any aggressiveness towards cultivators.

If it were not so, Hidden Dust would not be one of the most commonly used ingredients by Immortal Cultivators.

But to seamlessly convert that energy inside, the threshold remains extremely high.

Han Zhan thought of the source of Luo Chen’s confidence.

That Sudden Enlightenment!

During that enlightenment, he clarified the essence of power.

Even at his current realm, he might not be able to freely transform the power of various Attributes, but for harmless energy like that of Hidden Dust, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

”It seems you’ve made up your mind.”

”Yes.”

”However, I still have to remind you that while it is fine to do this occasionally, you must not become dependent on it. Otherwise, if you continue this in the long run, your own Qi Power will become mixed and impure, causing great Residual Poison to your future cultivation.”

It’s only for emergencies, not for regular use.

Luo Chen understood.

Isn’t his current situation quite urgent?

After making his decision, Luo Chen did not delay any further.

He took out the round Hidden Dust from his Storage Ring and examined it for a while before finally squeezing a drop of Blood Essence into it from his fingertip.

As the Blood Essence merged into the bead, the flawless white Light immediately turned a rosy hue.

But soon, that pervasive flush of red began to fade away.
