Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1165: Chapter 454: One Step Away, On the Verge of Success, Ascendant Sect’s Domination, Only Core Formation!_3

”At that time, I merely thought my Spirit Power was robust, purer than my peers, naturally making me more powerful in combat,”

”But I didn’t expect that trouble had already been secretly brewing!”

”The Qi Power left from those before me, even though well integrated with my Spirit Power, ultimately wasn’t something I achieved through my own painstaking cultivation!”

Chu Kui sighed deeply.

The great weapon he once relied on had almost killed him instead.

What a ridiculous situation.

Seeing that Luo Chen still harbored some lingering concerns, he shook his head.

”Regarding the ’Bead Curtain Lock’ secret technique, I’ve already tested it. Indeed, at the time of Core Formation, it has remarkable effects. Thirty-six Spirit Beads unify under the control of the main Divine Soul, capable of forming a Golden Core Seed.”

”Even further, this Golden Core Seed itself carries characteristics of Qi Power.”

”Should one succeed, upon initially entering Core Formation, one could directly leap over the initial threshold and become a First Level Golden Core Cultivator.”

This moment was exactly the first time his Core Formation had failed.

Therefore, he remembered quite clearly all the insights and experiences during the Core Formation process.

As he elaborated this, Luo Chen also increasingly understood the various steps of ’Bead Curtain Lock’ during Core Formation.

The feeling was as if he had personally experienced Core Formation himself.

After a long time, seeing Chu Kui, who was emitting an intense aura of exhaustion between his brows, Luo Chen voluntarily paused the exchange.

”You should rest first!”

”We’ll talk about the rest later.”

Watching Luo Chen’s departing figure, Chu Kui opened his mouth as if to say more but ended up just sighing in resignation.

The outcome of this ordeal was disappointing.

Not only was he disappointed, but he also disappointed Luo Chen and further disappointed the Luo Tian Creed.

It was a time of great prosperity.

The Luo Tian Creed especially needed a Golden Core Cultivator to take charge; if he had succeeded in forming his Core, the situation would have been completely different.

It was just unfortunate...

”Do I still have a chance?”

Muttering to himself, the robust man curled up and fell into a deep sleep.

...

His meeting with Fengyue Fairy was on the seventh day.

It took place in the Danxia Hall of the Luo Tian Creed.

There were no outsiders present, just Luo Chen and Fengyue Fairy themselves.

It was originally agreed that Luo Chen would personally visit her.

However, unexpectedly, she couldn’t wait and took the initiative to meet. Luo Chen then arranged the meeting at the Danxia Hall on Central Avenue.

In the serene room, Fengyue Fairy toyed with the Jade Dew Pill in her hand, her expression fluctuating continually.

After a long time, she gently set it down, her eyes filled with amazement.

”I consider myself quite proficient in refining Second Order Elixirs like the Jade Dew Pill, with my Pill Refinement Technique having reached peak mastery. Yet, compared to you, it is like the difference between a candle’s light and the bright moon!”

Luo Chen set down his teacup, ”Ascendant Master flatters me.”

The woman shook her head, unabashedly saying, ”It’s not a compliment! Your Jade Dew Pill may be Ascendant Grade, but the purity of its medicinal power is close to the Top Grade. I even feel that you still had some capacity to spare, fully capable of producing a Top Grade Jade Dew Pill.”

Luo Chen’s mouth twitched slightly.

This woman might not match his skills in Pill Refinement, but her discernment was truly extraordinary!

Indeed, his Pill Refinement of the Jade Dew Pill had already reached Peak Mastery.

Even at Ascendant Grade, it was very close to Top Grade.

The strength of the medicine was astonishing!

After the Ice Castle suffered heavy losses at the Great Snow Mountain, many of the junior members consecutively engaged in closed-door cultivation to sprint toward the Golden Core Period, a seemingly desperate attempt.

Yet having so many juniors eligible for Core Formation was truly astonishing.

In this, the large quantity of Ascendant Grade Jade Dew Pills provided by Luo Chen over the years played a crucial role!

Switching to any other sect, gathering at least five people to undertake closed-door cultivation to hit the Golden Core Period would not be easy.

This shows the power of Ascendant Grade Jade Dew Pills!

And for Top Grade Jade Dew Pills, he was currently achieving a 20% success rate.

The reason he hadn’t mass-produced them was not that Top Grade Jade Dew Pills were inadequate, but because Ascendant Grade pills had a better cost-performance ratio.

And relatively speaking, they were less likely to draw envy.

However!

It was only relatively speaking.

Once Fengyue confirmed Luo Chen’s Pill Refinement prowess, the topic returned to the essence.

”A piece of advice for you: don’t sell Jade Dew Pills externally.”

Luo Chen hummed in response, ”Apart from the Ice Castle, I indeed do not sell them externally.”

”No, you don’t understand my point,” Fengyue Fairy shook her head.

Under Luo Chen’s gaze, she slowly said, ”What I mean is, even after your cooperative term with the Ice Castle ends, do not sell them externally.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, staring seriously at her.

”Ascendant Master, isn’t this too overbearing?”

”Isn’t it natural for my Feng Hua Palace to be a bit overbearing?”

With that, the atmosphere turned tense.

Fengyue Fairy remained silent, still occasionally caressing the Jade Dew Pill that Luo Chen had just given her, as if pondering something.

After a long while, Luo Chen slowly nodded.

”The junior understands.”

Fengyue Fairy looked at him approvingly, ”Very well, you indeed know when to advance and when to retreat.”

Luo Chen forced a smile, steering the conversation away from the topic that had made him uncomfortable.

Instead, he switched to another subject.

”A secret technique to rid oneself of foreign Qi Power?”

”Yes, a few days ago, a subordinate of mine failed in advancing to the Golden Core Period, mainly because in his early years, he activated a Golden Core left by a Golden Core Cultivator, which was tainted with someone else’s Qi Power, ultimately leading to his failure. I wonder if Ascendant Master has any guidance on this matter.”

Perhaps because Luo Chen had shown tact earlier, Fengyue Fairy was in a good mood this time.

She thought for a moment and said, ”Such a secret technique is not available at my Feng Hua Palace. Or rather, most sects wouldn’t research this sort of thing, as no one would be foolish enough to deeply bind someone else’s Qi Power with their own.”
