Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1193: Chapter 461: Golden Core Ceremony!_3

”Strange, strange!”

”I heard that seventy years ago, when the Luo Tian Sect held the Foundation Establishment Ceremony for Sect Leader Sima Huiniang, it was quite grand, with cranes welcoming the guests and rainbows forming bridges. How come this time is so plain?”

”Indeed, it doesn’t make sense for the Luotian period to be so grand, and now that a sect has been established, it has become shabby!”

Murmurs of discussion reached the ears of Qin Yuanjiang and his companion.

The junior sister also curiously asked, ”Shouldn’t they have set up grand arrays, golden lotuses, auspicious clouds, and myriad colorful cloud trails to show the significance of the celebration?”

Qin Yuanjiang was also puzzled.

But after contemplating carefully, he revealed a thoughtful expression.

He slowly transmitted his thoughts:

”When one is weak, one naturally needs to dress up and boost one’s presence.”

”But when one is established, there is no need to show off with such fanfare.”

”Moreover, today’s celebration focuses on Uncle Luo, Dan Chenzi alone. Whether the external surroundings are plain or grand, to him, it’s like a breeze and floating clouds.”

”Lastly...”

At this point, he pointed at the two of them.

”The guests attending today’s ceremony will undoubtedly include members from Golden Core Great Sects and even from my Luo Yun Ascendant Sect. With such titans present, even if the Luo Tian Sect prepared a grand spectacle, nobody would care.”

Upon hearing this explanation, Ruan Huan ’Er suddenly realized.

Looking at the less-than-Second Order level Spirit Qi environment at Danxia Peak, she also said smilingly, ”Right, although this mountain has beautiful scenery, the Spirit Vein is of too low quality to make anything spectacular.”

If Luo Chen were here, he would certainly agree with their reasoning.

What Qin Yuanjiang mentioned just then aligned exactly with his thoughts.

The latter comment, as well as the words from Ruan Huan ’Er, however, came from the guidance of Jueqing Fairy.

A mere First Order Spirit Vein, what grand presence could it show?

Fake fanfare, in front of the distinguished guests who might arrive today, would just appear externally glamorous but internally worthless, only causing ridicule.

Forsaking the actions that burden the people and waste resources, and focusing on inner strength, is the right path.

Amid numerous discussions from rogue cultivators, finally, guests arrived.

Flying boats, from all directions, continuously arrived.

After docking in the square, one after another, powerful Foundation Establishment True Cultivators looked around and then, riding their Glints, ascended to Danxia Peak.

Soon after, the sound of ceremonial greetings gradually spread out from within the mountain.

”Taishan District Kang Family, presents one Warm Sun Treasure Jade to Ascendant Master Luo Chen in congratulation!”

”Luosha District Luo Family, presents three pieces of Xuan Luo Golden Crystal to Ascendant Master Luo Chen in congratulation!”

”Tianyi District Chen Family, presents a pair of Third Order Demon Silkworm Eggs to Ascendant Master Luo Chen in congratulation!”

”Tian Lan Immortal City Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator Kuang Zhou, presents an eight-hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine...”

”Tian Lan Immortal City Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator Tan You Sheng, presents...”

”Tian Lan Immortal City Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator...”

Booming voices of the ceremony announced each visitor’s identity, affiliated power, and presented gifts.

Among them, those from the Immortal Cultivation families, mostly known by the low-ranked rogue cultivators.

They also knew that for many years, these families had been loyal allies of the Luotian Creed.

Now, their participation in this celebration was to be expected.

The gifts they brought were also of considerable value.

Such as those Xuan Luo Golden Crystals, renowned as a Third Order mineral material condensed from the essence of the Second Order mineral Xuan Luo Gold, are rumored to be very suitable for forging Natal Magic Items.

Typically not sold externally, they were supplied solely to those they were allied with at Ailao Mountain.

Now suddenly presenting three pieces indicated serious commitment!

In the midst of the bustling noise, some were curious.

”Why are so many Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators coming to offer congratulations?”

”Even, some of them are from foreign realms, and many are Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators!”

This query gradually got its answer.

”You may not know this! Ten years ago, when Senior Dan Chenzi successfully formed his Golden Core, he composed a poem. They say this poem contained the secrets of Core Formation, benefiting countless Foundation Cultivators. From this perspective, Senior Dan Chenzi can be seen as a guiding mentor to them.”

”These powerful rogue cultivators, they are now returning the favor.”

”Perhaps, they also wish to take this opportunity to join the Luo Tian Sect!”

Upon this revelation!

An immense stir arose!

A single poem actually contained the secrets of Core Formation!

Unintentionally, Dan Chenzi became the poetic mentor of countless Foundation Establishment True Cultivators within the Immortal City in those years.

At this moment, an enthusiast, relying on memory, recited that Core Formation poem from those years ago.

In the end, he was deeply moved.

”I merely thought Senior Dan Chenzi had a good literary grace, but I did not expect it to contain such profound secrets. I must pass this poem to my descendants, perhaps in a few hundred years, my Li family might also produce a Golden Core Cultivator.”

”Haha, if that day comes, you ought to go to Danxia Peak and kowtow to Senior Dan Chenzi!”

”Of course, I, Li Qiang, am not an ungrateful person.”

”Tsk tsk, Senior Luo treats rogue cultivators so generously; if one were to join the Luo Tian Sect, wouldn’t he be willing to share everything?”

”Hey, that’s actually true. Even though it might not be everything, but Senior Luo’s broad-mindedness and his style of fostering juniors is known to all.”

”I can testify to this. Out of the twenty-five Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the Luo Tian Sect, apart from a few external additions, the majority have been promoted internally. Not many powers are so generous to provide that many Foundation resources.”

”It’s a pity, if only I had come to Tian Lan Immortal City earlier and joined the Luo Tian Sect, maybe now I would be that twenty-sixth Foundation Cultivator.”

...

Amidst the noisy discussions.
