Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1173: Chapter 455: Core Formation!_7

Over the years, Luo Chen frequently used the Heart Inquiry Mirror, using it not only for himself but also for Gu Caiyi and the Beginner Cultivators of the Luo Tian Creed.

Such frequent activation, coupled with Luo Chen’s lack of proper maintenance methods, naturally led to its increasingly poor condition.

Last time in Yuan Magnetic Valley, when he used the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror to help Miao Wen find himself, the artifact had already shown signs of imminent damage.

Now, barely managing to support Luo Chen’s three attempts at simulating Core Formation, it had reached the absolute limit.

Luo Chen looked at the fragments of the bronze mirror in his hands with a tinge of regret.

This was, after all, a rare Soul-type Magic Item!

After a faint sense of regret, Luo Chen’s face showed excitement, even revealing a slight smile.

In such a dire situation, why could he still manage to smile?

The reason was that during his last simulation, although he had failed, he had been infinitely close to success in Core Formation!

”My idea is correct!”

”Although they belong to different paths of Core Formation, each has its own mysteries.”

”As long as I resolve the conflicts between them and capture the essence, I can surely soar to great heights!”

”But, with just these two Secret Techniques, some elements are still lacking.”

Luo Chen’s thoughts shifted, and a azure light flashed in his hand.

Three jade slips appeared in his hand.

They were precisely the Simple Technique of Pill Formation Secret Techniques of ”Dragon Phoenix Tribulation,” ”Enclosure Getaway,” and ”Primordial Chaos Technique.”

”If I merge these three techniques with ’Bead Curtain Lock,’ could I tailor a Core Formation Secret Art for myself?”

Luo Chen had this confidence!

He had possessed these techniques for many years and had studied them in great detail; starting was not difficult.

In fact, he had met some requirements for each of these techniques.

”Dragon Phoenix Tribulation” required the Rising Dragon Pill and Ice Phoenix Pill, which he had ready in hand.

”Enclosure Getaway” required a strong physique and powerful Third Order Breakthrough Elixir, which he also had.

”Primordial Chaos Technique” was even simpler; his ”Cleanse Origin Pill Formula” was originally of the same root, and even of a higher quality rank.

If he merged the four techniques and created a unique one.

It might maximize the chances of successful Core Formation!

Even if it couldn’t make one plus one equal to two, as long as it was greater than one, that would suffice!

Four Secret Techniques, three elixirs, and a solid foundation of the three jewels of essence, qi, and spirit.

If he still couldn’t break through the Golden Core Period with all these, Luo Chen would doubt whether the Five Spirit Roots really were the forsaken by the Heavenly Dao, and he would even question the validity of Five Elements Divine Sect’s existence.

As for whether the newly merged technique would be suitable for cultivation?

Though he no longer had the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror, he still had the System as an aid; he could try using Achievement Points for beginners to evaluate it.

Thinking leads to doing!

Up to now, Luo Chen had no way back.

...

With a solid foundation, broad knowledge, and his extraordinary talent for technically cultivating.

Luo Chen began cultivating the three Core Formation Secret Techniques.

One year, two years, three years...

After all, they were only Simple Techniques for Core Formation; the cultivation process wasn’t complex, and largely depended on external aids for Core Formation.

In just three years, Luo Chen had cultivated the three techniques to Grandmaster Level.

After reaching this step, he did not continue to cultivate further.

Instead, he began trying to merge them with ”Bead Curtain Lock.”

However, the process of fusion was not going smoothly.

After all, they were four completely different techniques from four sects, and conflicts existed among them.

After one year, Luo Chen made slow progress.

But by the fifth year, Luo Chen began trying to incorporate ”Wind-Calming Wave” into the mix.

The originally incompatible four techniques, with the addition of ”Wind-Calming Wave,” oddly reached a kind of balance.

That day.

In the cultivation room.

Luo Chen pulled up the System Attribute Panel and held a bamboo slip he had handwritten between his hands.

This was the Core Formation Secret Technique he had created over five years, accommodating the strengths of various factions and tailored through his own insights.

He named it ”Dust Origin Technique.”

If one were dust, their heart as vast as the cosmos, and the character ’Yuan’ embodies the fundamental essence of heaven, earth, and all things.

With this technique, even those with the lowest talent could have a chance to tread the Great Dao Path.

The naming of this Secret Technique reflected Luo Chen’s aspiration towards the Path of Longevity.

[Dust Origin Technique, Supreme Method of Elixir Formation, would you like to enter the beginner phase?]

After the system provided the cold text prompt.

Luo Chen, with a smile, turned off the system.

Of course, there was no need to enter the beginner phase!

He knew the various tricks of his own created technique better than anyone, and had already laid a solid foundation.

There was no need to waste Achievement Points.

Next, he just needed to review it once and practice methodically.

And the time this process would require?

Luo Chen thought it wouldn’t be too long!

...

Two years later!

Luo Chen left the cultivation room and went to the living room.

He retrieved the resources required for Core Formation.

Three Nether Origin Pills, Rising Dragon Pills, Ice Phoenix Pills, Tianshan Yang-Replenishing Water, Fortifying Barrier Talisman, Heart Clearing Incense, Canghai Pills...

A dense array of resources.

Some were collected by Luo Chen himself.

Some were prompted by Sima Huiniang, who drove Luo Tian Creed Cultivators to acquire them from auctions in the Yu Ding Realm over the years, as much as possible, for him.

This had consumed countless human and material resources.

Looking at the well-prepared resources, a hint of excitement flickered in Luo Chen’s calm eyes.

Bathing, changing clothes, burning incense, wearing a formal headpiece.

After returning to the Quiet Room, he sat upright, calmed his heart, and sincerely waited.

After a full month, Luo Chen adjusted his state to its peak.

At this moment, his qi mechanism surged, his Spirit Qi integrated seamlessly, his divine soul as still as an ancient well, unfazed even if the sky were falling.

Fifty years ago, he had first obtained the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror and failed in his Core Formation simulation.

Fifty years later, he failed again in three consecutive simulation attempts.
