Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 772: Chapter 319: The Golden Core Seed Cultivator Battle, Deliberately Setting Free to Capture (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

Three to four years...

Luo Chen muttered this time frame to himself.

Then he asked, ”Do you know how Qingdan Valley selects its Golden Core Seed Cultivators?”

”That is widely known.” Sima Huiniang replied with a smile.

”Oh?”

”Because every time Qingdan Valley selects Golden Core Seed Cultivators, they invite some cultivators from allied sects to attend the ceremony. The purpose is obvious: to display their strength and to build external connections for the Golden Core Seed Cultivators. Over time, the selection method is no longer a secret.”

Upon Luo Chen’s curiosity, Sima Huiniang revealed the specific selection method.

It is similar to the usual True Disciple sword fights in other Great Sects, but with an additional criterion.

That is, Pill Refinement!

”It’s not precisely an additional criterion.”

”Many sects have extra selection methods. For example, the Luo Yun Sect has the famous Puppet Racing, and the Flame Alliance has a tool casting competition, and so on.”

”Of course, considering some True Disciples who focus solely on cultivation and are not good at extracurricular activities, these sects have relaxed the conditions, allowing True Disciples competing for the Seed Cultivator title to ask others for help.”

Having said that,

Luo Chen fully understood what Tao Wen and her brother were asking for.

They were interested in his Pill Refinement Technique!

But why didn’t they directly mention it?

Luo Chen frowned, lost in thought.

Sima Huiniang sat quietly on one side, wisely choosing not to interrupt his contemplation.

Presenting him with information is the limit of her abilities.

Analysing the situation is something that Luo Chen, as the person involved, would have to do by himself.

After a while, it seemed Luo Chen had an epiphany.

A Great Cultivator like Tao Wen, who had reached the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, must have incredibly vast connections.

The superior Pill Refiners she knew would certainly be numerous.

Especially since she was part of Qingdan Valley, a Pill Refinement Great Sect.

This meant finding one or two excellent Pill Refiners would not prove difficult.

Without saying anything else, just by turning theories into practice over this past year, her brother Tao Yisheng was verging on becoming a real Second Order Pill Refiner.

It was obvious that many excellent Pill Refiners must surround her.

Consequently, he wasn’t the only choice.

”Tao Yisheng frequently discussed the Dao of Alchemy with me recently, seemingly to improve himself, but isn’t he also probing my Pill Refinement Technique.”

”Only after confirming that my Pill Refinement Technique is strong enough,”

”Will his sister cooperate with me, and even discuss conditions.”

When he figured this out,

His previous doubts were immediately clarified.

”That means I’ve been too conservative in my previous actions,”

Luo Chen pursed his lips, recalling the exchanges of Pill Refinement Technique over the past year.

He certainly couldn’t share everything generously.

It’s only logical.

But if he wanted to be taken seriously, he would have to show more.

”So, it seems I need to show a little more of my Pill Refinement Technique.”

Gradually, Luo Chen developed a clear plan for what he needed to do next.

Seeing Luo Chen’s previously furrowed brow gradually relax,

Sima Huiniang, who was adept at observing subtle changes in demeanour, knew that her Sect Leader had found a solution to the issue.

This was a kind of subconscious trust.

In her eyes, there wasn’t a problem that could stump Luo Chen.

No matter how difficult it was!

Luo Chen exhaled and looked at Sima Huiniang.

”How have things been in the sect lately?”

Sima Huiniang smiled slightly.

”As you predicted, our various businesses faced almost no obstacles after the Foundation Establishment Celebration.”

”New lines of business are also gradually getting back on track.”

”As long as we continue to develop like this, it will snowball, becoming bigger and bigger.”

”Even if you don’t personally refine pills in the future, Luo Tian Creed will still be profitable.”

Hearing her say this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but show a brilliant smile.

All his planning had not been in vain.

The development of a power could not be solely dependent on him.

The previous model was unhealthy.

The current development is positive.

”The only regret is that Hall Master Bian Zhen failed the Foundation Establishment,”

Sima Huiniang sighed, ”A Foundation Establishment Pill was wasted, what a pity.”

Luo Chen had previously heard about Bian Zhen’s failure in Foundation Establishment.

He shook his head, ”Failure in Foundation Establishment is a common occurrence in cultivation. As long as one survives, it’s a piece of extreme good fortune.”

In Luo Tian Creed,

They had accumulated quite a lot of experience regarding Foundation Establishment breakthroughs.

Even if they failed, as long as they weren’t too stubborn and kept the spirit medicine intact, they could save their lives.

As for the wasted Foundation Establishment Pill?

Luo Chen didn’t feel anything.

For a cultivator like them who had succeeded in Foundation Establishment, a Foundation Establishment Pill wasn’t that important, especially since he could refine the Emperor Liquor, which had almost the same effect.

Sima Huiniang had a different perspective.

She saw it as the leader of a power.

Whether it was the Foundation Establishment Pill, or people, in her eyes, they were all resources of the Luo Tian Creed.

The failure of Foundation Establishment resulted not only in the loss of a Foundation Establishment Pill but also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, which was what she felt most regrettable about.

”Who will you arrange for Foundation Establishment next?” Luo Chen asked.

Without hesitation, Sima Huiniang said, ”I plan to choose between the Rosy Clouds Hall Master, Qin Liangchen, and Combat Hall Master Sima Xian. Sect Leader, who do you think should be first to establish their foundation?”

Luo Chen pondered for a moment before saying,

”Both of them are already past sixty years old, so it doesn’t matter that much when they establish their foundations.”
