Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1434: Chapter 535: Rapid Progress, Han Zhan Wakes Up_2

His cultivation level was advancing rapidly!

With the aid of a Third Order Spirit Land, he could now cultivate without any restrictions.

His cultivation speed rivaled that of one with a Heavenly Spirit Root!

The increasingly high proficiency in the alchemy technique of crafting True Flame Pills yielded pills of even higher quality.

Moreover, there was his deepening understanding of the ”Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra.”

Such progress, within just two or three years, made Luo Chen feel that the Middle Stage Golden Core was getting closer and closer.

Of course.

His evident progress had a profound impact on the Flying Swallow Islands.

First and foremost was the Cheng Clan.

In order to exchange for the ”Green Sun Pill Scripture” from Yao Yue Island, Cheng Dou, going mad, spared no expense in collecting various medicinal ingredients for Luo Chen.

This included not only the ingredients needed for True Flame Pills.

But also some ingredients necessary for crafting Nascent Soul Formation Pills!

Just like when he first entered Foundation Establishment and was already considering Core Formation, now approaching the Middle Stage Golden Core, Luo Chen had naturally begun to plan for his future Nascent Soul Formation.

In his view, only three conditions were needed for Nascent Soul Formation.

The first was sufficient personal accumulation, the second was an appropriate Fourth Order Spiritual Vein Land, and the last would be the icing on the cake, a Nascent Soul Formation Pill.

Especially since he couldn’t return to the Eastern Wasteland anytime soon, he simply utilized the cultivators of the Flying Swallow Islands to help him collect the ingredients for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill.

In due time, he would patiently figure it out and surely be able to craft the Nascent Soul Formation Pill.

However, this caused suffering for the various clans of the Flying Swallow Islands.

The mere consumption of True Flame Pills was significant, let alone the vast quantities of herbs needed for Nascent Soul Formation Pills.

While the smaller clans might have their doubts, Cheng Dou pressed on without care.

With Yan Nantian no longer there to suppress him, even though he was often away, his realm gradually reached Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization.

Core Formation was within arm’s reach!

Looking over the entire Flying Swallow Islands, there was not a single Core Formation Secret Technique that was presentable. In the past, the cultivators of the Flying Swallow Islands relied solely on personal accumulation and some fortune.

Now that the ”Green Sun Pill Scripture” was available, how could Cheng Dou not give it his all?

It wasn’t just him, though.

Every clan with Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators of the right age within the 36 Flying Swallow Islands, all spared no expense in gathering medicinal materials for Luo Chen, hoping to exchange for the ”Green Sun Pill Scripture” as soon as possible.

Under these circumstances, this small part of the Immortal Cultivation World, located in a remote area of the sea, plunged into a pathological frenzy.

The foundations, wealth, and manpower of every clan were continuously depleting.

All that was consumed eventually transformed into countless medicinal ingredients, flowing toward the small island in the midst of Ten Mile Flat Lake.

The power of the major clans did not grow but rather stalled.

If not for the temporary absence of foreign enemies and the suppressing presence of Demon King Qingyang above, internal strife and conflict would have likely erupted, and not just stalling, a decline was possible.

Under such strange conditions, the smaller clans with only one or two Foundation Establishment Cultivators naturally shook in fear.

However, there were also those with insight who understood the reasoning behind it.

Demon King Qingyang dared to use the Core Formation Method to drive the cultivators, indicating that he was magnanimous enough not to mind having a Golden Core Cultivator among his subordinates.

And all the major clans were Foundation Establishment Families.

Once any clan produced a Golden Core, it could instantly stand out and suppress the others.

Even the Cheng Clan, which had the closest relationship with Demon King Qingyang, would lose the initiative if they were outpaced by others.

They were all in a race!

In this race among the clans, the greatest beneficiary was none other than Demon King Qingyang.

Just one ”Green Sun Pill Scripture” had stirred the originally peaceful 36 Flying Swallow Islands into a state of exhaustion, truly worthy of the name of a great Demon Monarch!

...

Luo Chen was completely unaware of the frenzy in the outer world and all the slander against him; even if he knew, he would ignore it all.

He was immersed in his own little world, reveling in the constant growth, so satisfied!

If not for the constraints of lifespan, if not for his concern for Hui Niang, Caiyi, Wang Yuan, and Duan Feng, Luo Chen would even wish to indulge in this state for a lifetime.

That feeling of experiencing growth moment by moment was truly intoxicating.

Before he knew it, in a daze, three years had flown by in the blink of an eye.

One day, a streak of Glint flew back from over the sea, flickering a few times above the Flying Swallow Islands, before descending onto the centralmost islet.

The clouds dispersed, and a tall woman stood at the entrance of the palace, smiling warmly as she watched the visitor approach step by step.

”Ascendant Master, you seem in good spirits today!”

Luo Chen laughed heartily, ”Naturally, I’ve just perfected another major technique in my cultivation, and I’m in excellent spirits!”

As he spoke, he strode confidently into the main hall.

Cheng Haixin followed behind, her eyes filled with even greater respect.

Over these three years, she had spent most of her time residing on Yao Yue Island, diligently handling various affairs for Luo Chen.

Whether it was receiving medicinal materials from the clans, regularly providing blood meals for Luo Chen, or the most critical task of processing the materials, she was largely responsible for it all.

In three years’ time, the ”Fairy Haixin,” who had once cultivated carefree under the protection of her clan, had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the capable, majestic ”Yao Yue Fairy.”

However, her ”majesty” meant nothing in the presence of Luo Chen.

Over these three years, she had personally witnessed Luo Chen’s Dao Cultivation progress continuously.

He would frequently have new insights, and occasionally, he would take her out to sea to experiment with technique and Magic Items, often causing earth-shaking phenomena.

Such a rate of progress far exceeded her preconceived notions of a Golden Core Ascendant Master.
