Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1172: Chapter 455: Core Formation!_6

Over the years, Luo Chen had returned to a security level of 52.

With the substantial Achievement Points he possessed, Luo Chen felt confident.

After thoroughly reviewing the Attribute Panel, Luo Chen had a clearer understanding of his current state.

”Whether it’s physical strength, Divine Soul, or the reserve of Spirit Power, I have already comprehensively surpassed a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, and am infinitely close to an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator.”

”As for the cultivation of the Core Formation Secret Technique, I have reached a point where no further progress can be made.”

”All preparations are now complete.”

”Next...”

Luo Chen took a deeply greedy breath of the air outside the cave, then without further sentiment, closed the door of the Immortal Mansion.

...

”Failed again!”

”How can this be when I’ve clearly done my best?”

”Even if I consider my preparations for Core Formation, not even a Budding Cultivator from a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect could match me, how could it still fail?”

Inside the cultivation room.

Luo Chen’s face was as dark as ink and gloomy as water.

In his hand was a bronze mirror full of cracks, from which he uttered incredulous sounds.

The Core Formation had failed, not once but twice!

Of course, it wasn’t a failure in reality, but a simulated failure using the Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror.

As one of the three great legacy artifacts of Ghost God Valley, this mirror’s wonderful use was to simulate Core Formation for cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Luo Chen, possessing precious items, naturally would not waste this opportunity.

Therefore, when he decided to enter seclusion to impact the Golden Core Period, he actively used this artifact.

With the protection of Lan Ke Black and White Chess and years of practice in Third Order Illusion Technique Mirror Flower, Water Moon, he already had certain resistance to illusions.

Thus, even without a sect elder’s protection, Luo Chen dared to embark on a solo Heart Inquiry simulation.

But the results of both attempts were disappointing.

The first time, he used the Completion Stage ”Bead Curtain Lock” Secret Technique for his Core Formation and failed.

The specific reason was unknown.

Luo Chen only remembered that during the last step, when the three hundred and sixty-five Spirit Beads fused together, a violent explosion suddenly occurred.

After a loud boom, he woke up feeling groggy.

After resting for a month, he activated the Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror again.

This second time, he used Nether Origin Pill for his Core Formation, but again, he failed.

The cause of this failure was even more obscure.

After swallowing that elixir, he felt a massive swelling inside his body, and then... there was no then.

It was as if a gust of wind had passed through, leaving nothing behind.

He naturally woke up, without even feeling tired in his Divine Soul.

With a gloomy expression, Luo Chen forced himself to stay calm and tried as much as possible to summarize the reasons for both failures.

”A cultivator’s Core Formation is a natural transformation; even without the help of secret techniques or elixirs, there is still a chance of succeeding in Core Formation.”

”However, such success rates are too low, and thus the predecessors under the great perspective, summarized and created some methods to increase the chances of Core Formation success. Like Core Formation Secret Arts, Breakthrough Elixirs, and some rare natural treasures.”

”’Bead Curtain Lock’ is a Great Technique of Core Formation, and I brought it to the Completion Stage. On the basis of already having a chance for successful Core Formation, it spontaneously increased the probability by thirty percent.”

”Nether Origin Pill is an evolution from the Third Order Dark Sea Pill of the Divine Transformation Holy Land Dark Abyss Sect, naturally increasing Core Formation success rate by twenty percent.”

”Even separated into two simulations, they should not have both failed.”

”Why would this happen?”

Luo Chen asked himself.

In his mind, he continuously searched for possible answers.

After a long time, he obtained a somewhat plausible answer.

Returning to the essence, it is the same old topic.

Talent!

The talent of having Five Spirit Roots dragged him down.

However, unlike previously poor talent, this time he changed his perspective.

Considering the evaluation given by Ascendant Master Cang Long, he viewed his talent in the right light.

”Poor, it’s definitely not subpar.”

”In fact, with my cultivation, this talent could actually be considered excellent. It allows me to possess a broader Sea of Qi, accommodating several times more Spirit Power than my peers at the same order, and my combat capacity is also far superior to those of the same order. In contrast, the drawback of slow cultivation speed can actually be compensated for with a vast amount of resources.”

”I, Luo Chen, am also a cultivator of excellent talent in another sense!”

”But it is precisely because of this excellent, even terrifying talent that the help needed when breaking through realms becomes greater!”

If cultivation were compared to building a house,

Talent would be the foundation.

Those with fewer Spirit Roots have a smaller foundation, and therefore can build their houses quickly and beautifully.

Providing a little assistance, they can construct something decent.

But those with more Spirit Roots have a larger foundation, needing more materials to build their house.

Naturally, when building the big house of Core Formation, the required assistance increases.

”Great Technique, not enough!”

”Nether Origin Pill, also not enough!”

”I still have the ’Cleanse Origin Pill Formula’s reversal Spirit Vortex!’”

”No, next time, I’ll use multiple methods together and see the effect.”

If a single method can only slightly increase the probability of Core Formation, what if multiple methods were used simultaneously?

Unconsciously, a slightly crazy idea filled Luo Chen’s mind.

Although a bit mad, it wasn’t impossible.

Because Luo Chen had a sharp tool in his hand to test it!

Looking at the heavily cracked Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror, Luo Chen rested for a few days and then, without hesitation, immersed his Divine Soul into it again.

In the yellowish haze of the mirror,

A Daoist sat cross-legged.

...

The third failure arrived as expected.

Accompanying the failure was the complete destruction of the Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror.

This was something expected.

The artifact was already damaged from the start.
