Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Qu Lingjun sighed, ”What’s there to say? I merely relied on resources to pile up...”

Just as the words were at his lips, he seemed to remember something.

He could not allow his master’s presence to be forgotten, especially not using his own success to overshadow it.

In this case, let’s take this opportunity today to share my master’s Core Formation experiences from back then!

...

As the sandalwood fragrance wafted and all the sect disciples gathered.

Ling Fengzi entered with disciples from Piaomiao Peak, Wang Yuan hurriedly returned alongside Sha Dragon Child to sit at the Elder’s seat, even Li Yingzhang appeared with the missing for two years Qin Yuanjiang, Yao Mingyue and other Golden Core Cultivators. Thus, the internally held Golden Core Ceremony officially commenced.

Qu Lingjun floated onto the stage, looking around.

His heart was filled with myriad thoughts.

Over the years, although the sect hadn’t aggressively recruited newcomers, they had managed to add some workforce, about five hundred people.

It was similar to when he left The Great River District, with hardly any difference in size.

Regrettably, the most familiar face was ultimately missing.

Even the two mistresses were not present.

Calming himself, Qu Lingjun recalled the scene when his master emerged from Core Formation, and slowly began to speak:

”The origins of the Great Dao, its profound secrets, how can one truly understand its elegance?

Innate Qi, naturally separates purity from turbidity.

Without recognizing the inversions of Kan and Li, who can discern, the rise and fall of Gold and Wood...”

Inside the palace, Luo Chen was comforting Sima Huiniang, who had hurriedly returned through the teleportation formation, when the chanting from the outer world reached his ears, causing him to pause.

”This little one...”

Sima Huiniang wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, choking up, ”Isn’t this the Core Formation verse you chanted back when you emerged from your retreat?”

Luo Chen nodded, the more he listened, the more he felt it was true.

The verse was something he composed spontaneously, based on his experiences around the Core Formation, and once spread, it indeed had a significant influence.

Many Lower Order Cultivators in Tian Lan Immortal City who struggled without a Core Formation method later relied on some understanding of this verse to gradually explore a Core Formation path of their own.

His reputation in the Alchemy Sect becoming so grand later was inseparable from the contributions of this verse.

Now, Qu Lingjun had not altered a single word, directly replicating it.

Was he being lazy, or was it intentional?

”Husband, Ling Xin...”

”He’s also alive, and soon you’ll be able to see him.”

”As long as he’s alive, as long as he’s alive.” Sima Huiniang muttered.

”Additionally, regarding his cultivation matter, I have some clue.”

Sima Huiniang was astonished, her eyes once again glowing with brilliance.

Yet Luo Chen didn’t say much, just handed her a booklet, where the cultivation methods about Demon Heart Gu Cultivators mentioned by Valley Immortal Feng Jiang were recorded.

”I should make an appearance.”

Luo Chen paced outward, Gu Caiyi and Sima Huiniang followed closely behind, as if afraid he’d disappear once again.

On the plaza.

The group of Luotian Sect Disciples wore expressions of confusion.

Why was Qu Lingjun discussing the Core Formation path that the Supreme Elder spread in the past?

Isn’t this old news?

This sect elder, not sharing his own Core Formation experiences, was he thus belittling himself?

As if sensing the dissatisfaction below, Qu Lingjun paused slightly on the Green Jade Platform.

”What was said earlier is the Core Formation path of the Supreme Elder.”

”Perhaps you all are already aware, but you must not underestimate this widely-traveled Elixir Theory, the more you study it, the greater your harvest.”

”I hope that when you return, you can pay more attention to the many treasures left by the Supreme Elder.”

”Of course, I also have some experiences, which might not match the Supreme Elder’s, but I am willing to share a bit with you all.”

After finishing, he briefly shared his experiences and insights from before and after his Core Formation.

The preparations made, the difficulties encountered, how he broke through bottlenecks, and how he quickly solidified his realm.

Although it might not have been as profound and complex as Luo Chen’s past explanations, it was more detailed with a style unique to an individual.

The plaza slowly grew quieter and quieter, regardless of High Order Cultivators or Lower Order Disciples, all listened attentively.

As Qu Lingjun concluded his words, suddenly a sound of applauding and exclamation erupted.

”Well said!”

”Worthy to be my disciple!”

”Reward with a True Device, a Snow Frost Robe, it can ward off fire and poison.”

”Award a Blessing Tripod, used by the Alchemy Saint, it can greatly enhance pill quality.”

In Qu Lingjun’s eyes filled with disbelief, amidst the uproar of the standing crowd, Luo Chen slowly emerged.

Faced with pairs of shocked eyes, Luo Chen smiled gently.

”I have returned!”
