Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 986: Chapter 399: Vicious Secret Technique, Forerunner to the King_3

The Bead Curtain Lock secret technique is considered to be one of the many minor arts under ”The Flow of All Things.”

Chu Kui nodded in agreement when he heard it put that way.

”Perhaps it is so!”

”It is said that the divine souls of cultivators from the Luo Yun Sect are naturally stronger than others, allowing them to control puppets at will. The powerful ones can even control Third Order puppets at the Foundation Establishment Realm or single-handedly manipulate two or three puppets simultaneously in battle.”

Luo Chen was well aware of this rumor.

He had even witnessed with his own eyes Han Zheng, at the Fourth Level Foundation Establishment, controlling at the same time a flying puppet, a melee puppet, and a long-range attack puppet!

Two of those three puppets were as powerful as a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!

The strength of his divine soul was very evident!

No, that’s not right!

Luo Chen expressed his doubts, ”It’s understandable that one or two individuals have strong divine souls. But for so many disciples of the Luo Yun Sect to be that powerful, it shows it’s not a natural strength.”

Chu Kui hummed in agreement, ”Maybe it’s related to their possession of soul-strengthening cultivation techniques?”

”Soul-strengthening?” Luo Chen’s eyes immediately lit up!

He didn’t have a soul-strengthening cultivation technique, but he had soul-strengthening elixirs!

While Chu Kui was feeling gloomy, Luo Chen handed him a bottle of elixirs.

”What’s this?”

”Tongyou Pills, First Order, but of top grade quality, effective even for Foundation Establishment True Cultivators like us.”

”What are they for?”

”Communication with Unknown Dreams, to strengthen the divine soul!”

Chu Kui was stunned.

He took the bottle of elixirs with trembling hands, handling it with extreme care.

”You better not be joking with me, big brother!”

”Try it and you’ll know. Would I deceive you?”

”It’s not that...”

At this moment, Chu Kui was unexpectedly overwhelmed with excitement.

A Great Technique of Pill Formation secret art lay before him, yet he couldn’t use it, afraid to undergo Core Formation through it.

That feeling was like standing before a mountain of treasures unable to enter or holding a beauty in one’s arms but daring not touch, such torment, such despair.

Now, Luo Chen told him that there might still be hope.

Soul-strengthening elixirs!

If one could strengthen the divine soul to exceed the scope of the Foundation Establishment Stage, then even if part of it were split off, it might not be such a big deal.

With this in mind, the Bead Curtain Lock secret technique could indeed become useful.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound of knocking on the table arose as Chu Kui, animated, lifted his head to look at Luo Chen.

”I can supply you with Tongyou Pills regularly to aid in strengthening your divine soul.”

”But let me make it clear upfront...”

Chu Kui interrupted Luo Chen, ”You don’t need to say it, I understand what you mean!”

Relieved, he said, ”You just want me to be the pioneer, to try out the Bead Curtain Lock technique of Core Formation and provide guidance for you, right?”

Luo Chen hummed in approval, ”Yes, the process is surely not as smooth as it seems. If it’s successful, that’s great. But if it fails... ”

Core Formation is even more dangerous than Foundation Establishment!

In the Immortal Cultivation World, there are many examples of cultivators who have failed at Foundation Establishment but later succeeded in another attempt.

However, those who fail at Core Formation and succeed later are few and far between!

At most, they ended up in the False Core Realm, barely clinging to life.

”In fact, we still have three Simple Techniques of Pill Formation, you don’t need to walk this perilous path.”

”No!”

Chu Kui firmly refused, ”Having a Great Technique, I would definitely not choose a Simple Technique. In my life, my name holds the word ’leader’, and I’m also known as the leader among the Rogue Cultivators; naturally, I’ll choose the best method for Core Formation! I am clear about the risks and consequences. If I fail, I won’t blame you.”

”It’s perfect that you think this way,” Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”I am very much looking forward to your insights after practicing this secret technique.”

A Core Formation secret art that was unfamiliar and fraught with danger.

Luo Chen did not dare to attempt it lightly.

But with Chu Kui going first, he could acquire a wealth of firsthand information.

Thus, Chu Kui would be the vanguard, and Luo Chen would reap all the benefits.

The advantages and drawbacks were understood between them in just a few words.

There was no need to say more. Chu Kui hurried home to try out the effects of the Tongyou Pills.

In the coming days, he would likely focus on quiet cultivation, striving to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization.

He no longer needed to worry about resources.

On the battlefield of Accumulation Thunder Mountain, Luo Chen had a bountiful harvest, and so did he.

After he left.

Luo Chen took out four jade slips from his storage bag.

Ice Castle’s Dragon Phoenix Tribulation, Ailao Mountain’s ”Enclosure Getaway,” Qingdan Valley’s Primordial Chaos Technique, Luo Yun Sect’s Bead Curtain Lock.

Four Core Formation secret techniques, three Simple Techniques and one Great Technique!

He, Luo Chen, would not place all his hopes on a single technique.

If Chu Kui’s path proved impassable, he would still have three other options to try.

Currently at the Sixth Level Foundation Establishment, Core Formation was still a long way off.

But familiarizing himself with these secret techniques in advance was always a good move.

His talent was lacking, and Core Formation would undoubtedly be even more difficult.

In this case, failure was even less an option.

Only with thorough preparations and a smooth process could one be on the right path.

”Hopefully, these secret techniques won’t disappoint me!”

Murmuring to himself, Luo Chen began to read ”Enclosure Getaway.”

After all, as a secret art provided by the Golden Core Great Sect of Ailao Mountain, even if it was a Simple Technique, it shouldn’t be too shabby!
