Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1250: Chapter 479: Third Order Immortal Mansion in Hand, I Need Your Attitude!

Inside the cultivation room.

The Daoist sat cross-legged, with vapors rising from his body.

Faint starlight penetrated through his red Taoist robe, glittering brilliantly outside.

After a long time.

The Daoist slowly opened his eyes, and as his lips parted, he exhaled a dense aura of rosy clouds.

Luo Chen checked his Attribute Panel with a glance.

[Golden Core First Layer 3/100]

The slight progress was exhilarating.

But after the excitement faded, some dissatisfaction set in.

From 2 to 3, he had spent five months in Qingdan Valley and then returned to the Luo Tian Sect, dashing all the way to Moon-Breaking Immortal City, spending another month.

In total, that was six months.

Six months for just one step of progress!

This rate of cultivation had completely exceeded Luo Chen’s initial estimate of ”one point of progress every three months”; it had almost doubled.

”Without the aid of a Third Order Spirit Land, the efficiency has greatly decreased!”

”Moreover, these Starry Pills...”

Luo Chen tightened his face; after several administrations of Starry Pills, he had gradually become aware of the pill’s characteristics.

Let’s not even talk about the complex production; that was just a bit tiring and troublesome, that’s it.

The key issue was the potency!

Massive, but mixed!

Not only that, there was a strong residue of Pill Poison.

The star-like vapor he had just exhaled was a direct manifestation of the Pill Poison.

Cultivators with acute Divine Consciousness can strip away most of the Pill Poison.

But even a slight residue left behind could make the Golden Core less pure and damage the purity of Qi Power.

After each administration of a Starry Pill, Luo Chen had to immediately circulate the ”Dust Origin Technique”, not daring to let the Pill Poison linger excessively.

”I wonder if raising the Proficiency and enhancing the Quality Rank of the Starry Pills can mitigate these flaws?”

”Moreover, I still need to consider drug tolerance.”

Throughout his journey, Luo Chen had taken cultivation pills over a hundred thousand times, which meant that he was well-versed in the advantages and disadvantages of using pills for cultivation.

Not to mention other aspects, just the issue of drug resistance, he understood far more than most.

With the same type of pill, overconsumption over time would lead to drug resistance.

The lower the Quality Rank, the greater the harm!

”Thus, if possible, I should not take too many Lower-Grade Starry Pills. Ideally, I should use Medium Grade, Ascendant Grade, or even Top Grade Starry Pills for cultivation.”

”Not only would cultivation be more efficient, but it would also greatly delay the onset of drug resistance.”

Having reached this conclusion, Luo Chen looked at the dozen Lower Grade Starry Pills in his Storage Ring and had an idea.

Previously, he had no choice but to take what was available.

Now that his condition had improved, he could afford to be extravagant!

He decided to stop consuming these Lower Grade Starry Pills and sell them instead!

Given their high cost, even selling just a few would help break even.

He intended to raise his Proficiency, consuming as many high-Quality Rank Starry Pills as possible.

As for the shortcomings of the Starry Pills, Luo Chen was not worried about whether other Golden Core Cultivators would accept them.

Golden Core Cultivators would always need suitable cultivation pills; there was no reason to reject them outright.

Moreover, those shortcomings were specific to Luo Chen.

For regular Golden Core Cultivators facing this massive potency, it would take several days to refine it.

During that refining process, they would also gradually expel the Pill Poison.

It was really because Luo Chen’s frequency of taking pills was too high.

One a day!

That was why those flaws were noticeable.

”Perfect, Fu Jiusheng mentioned a gathering of Golden Core cultivators that will be held in three days.”

”I will sell these pills then, not only to recover the cost but also to enhance my reputation as a Pill Refinement Grandmaster!”

”After all, since my Core Formation, I have never shown my capability to refine Third Order Pills to outsiders.”

Luo Chen’s lips curved into a smile as he began planning for the Golden Core gathering three days later.

...

Before the three days had passed, an issue had already presented itself before everyone.

The five Great Golden Cores of the Luo Tian Alliance gathered together, eyeing each other.

After a long while.

Di Wuqi was the first to speak, ”For shop number eight, I gave up the Divine Wind Gang Evil Qi. That Immortal Mansion should first belong to me.”

Jiang Yu repeatedly waved his hands, ”That won’t do, that won’t do. My son was seriously injured in the battle for the shop, and he’s still bedridden. Let me use that Immortal Mansion first!”

Fu Jiusheng also had something to say, ”Both Dao Brothers have been in Core Formation for many years, unlike me, who has only had my Core for twenty years and am still far from the Golden Core First Layer. To enhance our alliance’s strength, it should be me who uses it first!”

Di Wuqi and Jiang Yu were stunned, turning their heads to look at him.

You’re weak, and you still claim reason?

Cen Qiusheng intended to argue but, after thinking and realizing he had no notable achievements to claim, could only move his lips silently, saying nothing.

What they were arguing over was evidently the right to use one of the Third Order Immortal Mansions associated with the eighth shop!

The Luo Yun Sect thanked all the Daoists for their help in building Moon-Breaking Immortal City.

Thus, in addition to the twenty shops they initially offered, they also provided the use of a Third-Order Lower Grade Immortal Mansion.

The term was for one hundred years!

After a hundred years, the right to use would be reclaimed.

But for those hundred years, those twenty Third-Order Lower-Grade Immortal Mansions would belong to the power behind each shop.

This news was only additionally disclosed today as the major powers took over their respective shops.

Nobody expected the Luo Yun Sect to be so generous.

Or rather, this was their way of appeasing the sects after delaying the steps towards open war.

For a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, a Third-Order Lower Grade Immortal Mansion was naturally negligible.

But for those Great Golden Core Sects, it was a rare treasure.

Thus, the five Great Golden Cores of the Luo Tian Alliance had started arguing over it.

Seeing that the argument was becoming increasingly fierce, Luo Chen knocked on the table.
