Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1096: Chapter 432: Am I Going to Undergo Core Formation?

Quickly

Luo Chen overthrew his own regrets.

Fortunately, he hadn’t joined the Ice Castle in the early stages!

The reason was simple, the resources of the Ice Castle Sect were too barren.

Luo Chen wanted to perform painstaking cultivation and also refine some elixirs, while exploring the nature of the Prosperity and Decline Fire.

But when he listed the various ingredients he needed,

the Ice Castle took several days to scrounge up a batch for him.

The quality was inconsistent, the ages of ingredients often inappropriate, and the processing was subpar.

”Strange!”

”The Ice Castle used to have a Pill Refinement Grandmaster, so logically, they should have mature personnel configurations and a standard processing procedure for materials!”

”Moreover, several types of materials are missing.”

After carefully selecting from the materials on hand, Luo Chen could only come to one conclusion.

He could only run the furnace a few times, refining at most a hundred batches of pills.

”Forget it, they’re not the cultivators of elixirs under my command in the Luo Tian Creed. They don’t understand my refinement habits, and their quality control on material processing also leaves much to be desired.”

”This place is not suitable for pill refinement, I’ll make plans after escaping the Ice Prison!”

He dismissed the idea of refining pills.

Luo Chen then shifted his focus to daily cultivation.

He discovered something.

A piece of good news!

That was his Divine Soul Endowment had improved by thirty percent!

Currently, the strength of his Divine Soul was on par with those veteran Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who had practiced arduously for one to two hundred years.

”It must be related to me overcoming the Demonic Obstruction and achieving clarity of thought.”

”Also, after spending three years refining the Prosperity and Decline Fire, my Divine Soul was in constant use.”

”Now that I’ve suddenly relaxed, it’s slowly recovering and has gradually reached new heights.”

Originally, Luo Chen’s Divine Soul Endowment was stronger than his realm, reaching the level of Ninth Level Foundation Establishment.

Now, under further progress,

he had strikingly reached the realm of Perfection.

If he could ascend one more level, that would be akin to the Divine Soul strength of a Golden Core Period.

However, that step would be extremely difficult.

”It is rumored that the Luo Yun Sect possesses a specialized Secret Technique for refining the Divine Soul, which allows Foundation Establishment Cultivators to control puppets stronger than themselves and even manipulate multiple puppets single-handedly.”

”It would be great if I could obtain it.”

Of course, that was merely a fond fancy.

Such a Secret Technique, just the thought tells you, is definitely one of the core secrets of a Sect, not something to be easily obtained.

”Perhaps, I could find some time to ask Senior Sister Cang Long?”

Luo Chen’s thoughts shifted, and he couldn’t help feeling somewhat excited about their next meeting.

He abandoned the thought of pill refinement.

Apart from pure cultivation, the slight extra time that Luo Chen had was spent on reading.

The books he read were numerous, but they all fell into one category.

Core Formation Secret Arts!

”Dragon Phoenix Tribulation”, ”Primordial Chaos Technique”, ”Enclosure Getaway”, ”Bead Curtain Lock”.

Three lower-ranked and one higher-ranked techniques.

Additionally, there were the Core Formation Insights for ”Bead Curtain Lock”, which he acquired in a trade with the Luo Yun Sect through Tian Xingzi in the Heavenly Fire Immortal City.

Perusing these Secret Techniques was naturally out of necessity.

He once asked Cang Long if the Ice Castle had a better Core Formation Secret Art than ”Dragon Phoenix Tribulation”.

She straightforwardly admitted that there was one called ”Iceheart Mantra”, a Medium Grade Golden Core Secret Art.

But that technique was not suitable for Luo Chen.

It was more suitable for Female Cultivators, especially those who practiced Water Type and Ice Type.

Using Cang Long’s words, in combination with the Jade Dew Pill, it could have remarkable effects.

This was also why, once the Ice Castle realized they had someone like Luo Chen under the command of the Jueqing Fairy, they were very determined to employ him as a Guest Elder.

Although it wasn’t suitable for Luo Chen, Cang Long also said that if Luo Chen had any questions related to Core Formation, he could consult her.

If she wasn’t available, he could go to the Jueqing Fairy.

Cang Long had already spoken with Jueqing in advance, and she would not demur.

No wonder Luo Chen changed his previous notion of not wanting to get too deeply involved with the Ice Castle, affectionately calling her ”Senior Sister”.

”If I cannot rely on the Ice Castle for assistance with Core Formation Secret Arts, then I can only depend on the resources currently at hand.”

”Three lower and one higher, four techniques are actually enough.”

Luo Chen first opened the cultivation insights for ”Bead Curtain Lock” sent from the Luo Yun Sect.

By chance!

The practitioner of these insights was named Linghu Jie.

It was that Golden Core Cultivator who, in the Great River District, commanded three puppet Ghost Kings to besiege Pang Renxiong.

Thinking of the other’s superior strength, Luo Chen eagerly anticipated his insights.

”The technique of ’Bead Curtain Lock’, originates from a secret realm discovered by our sect’s ancient ancestor, accompanied by Three Skills and Two Techniques, which established the Luo Yun Sect’s legacy. The practice of this technique is exceedingly painful and exceptionally difficult. If practiced alongside another Divine Soul legacy technique of our sect, the results would be optimum. Otherwise, one must possess a strong Divine Soul Endowment; otherwise, the mild consequence is soul disarray, the severe consequence is the complete destruction of one’s path, and the Golden Core Path would be utterly unreachable. My own Core Formation, only achieved the Minor Accomplishment Realm in this technique, because I could hardly bear the pain and time waits for none...”

The characters were written in a nondescript style.

But the contents had Luo Chen completely engrossed, unknowingly immersing himself deeply.

...

Three months later.

Luo Chen looked at the cold woman in front of him and couldn’t help but say, ”Friend Dan Tai, it’s been a while since we last met. Why do you look so downcast? If there’s something bothering you, share it and let this ascetic like me cheer up a bit.”

Dan Taijun glared at him, ”Elder Luo, please show some respect!”
