Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1206: Chapter 465: Primordial Treasure Cauldron, Danxia Alliance

Tao Wen had left.

As the leader of a sect, she indeed had many responsibilities.

The sect provided her with Spirit Lands, assisted her in Core Formation, and even prepared her Natal Magic Item in advance.

All these things weren’t given for free.

Handling various trifles for Qingdan Valley was the price she had to pay.

In doing so, her cultivation time was naturally greatly occupied.

But, as they say, one must pay a corresponding price for everything received.

She greatly envied the Senior Brother Dan Yangzi who could now solely focus on Purification and study the Dao of Alchemy.

She also harbored feelings of empathy for Luo Chen, who meticulously formed alliances and traveled far and wide.

In the absence of power, influence, and elder’s support.

Some people are simply destined to toil and struggle.

In comparison, her life was actually much more comfortable than Luo Chen’s.

Thus, she occasionally showed a look of admiration for him.

Under the protection of her sect, she felt handling affairs to be troublesome.

As a mere rogue cultivator, reaching his current status was indeed not easy.

Luo Chen himself did not indulge in self-pity.

He was currently at the peak of success, full of pride and satisfaction.

Despite recently having to personally meet with one Golden Core Cultivator after another, being very careful with his words and conduct, he had long since become accustomed to these matters.

The Golden Core Realm had indeed given him a significant confidence boost.

At least!

He no longer needed to salute every Golden Core Cultivator and address them as ascendant masters.

No sooner had he seen off Tao Wen than he found himself immersed in a flood of praises.

”Brother Luo, you’ve really become a Golden Core Cultivator. If my grandfather knew from under the springs, his eyeballs would probably pop out in surprise.”

In the mountainous courtyard, Chen Shuyi looked at Luo Chen with admiration.

The grandfather she mentioned was naturally Elder Chen, who used to set up a stall with Luo Chen.

He had already passed away fifty years ago, sitting in meditation.

He lived to the age of ninety.

Such an age, among Qi Refinement Cultivators, was considered short-lived.

But this was to be expected.

Elder Chen had supported his livelihood with talisman making skills in his early years, and to earn more Spirit Stones to support his granddaughter’s cultivation, he also learned the craft of making talisman paper.

That talisman paper wasn’t made from ordinary paper or bark, but from animal skins!

Being constantly in that environment, how could one not live a shortened life?

Back then, in The Great River District market, he was already old and decrepit in his sixties. Later on, after a lot of turmoil, he traveled thousands of miles to the Shen Fu Realm.

There, he set up his own stall and returned to his old trade.

Ultimately, he unfortunately died due to reaching the end of his lifespan.

Perhaps, for him, the only solace was that he saw his granddaughter successfully achieve Foundation Establishment before he passed away!

Remembering the old friend, Luo Chen felt quite melancholic.

In a daze, it seemed as if the scenes of setting up the stall and squabbling from those years were still before his eyes.

He shook his head and handed out a jade vial.

”What’s this?” Chen Shuyi curiously took the jade vial.

Luo Chen smiled and said, ”A vial of Jade Dew Pill, it might help you break through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Chen Shuyi’s eyes lit up, immediately clutching the jade vial tightly.

Seeing her behave this way, Luo Chen was puzzled.

”Isn’t Shen Fu Sect a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect? Is there a lack of elixirs?”

Beside him, Fu Xiuxiu sighed, ”Exactly because it is a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, there are also many disciples. The internal competition is immense; climbing the ranks is an even harder challenge. Xiao Shuyi achieving Foundation Establishment at over forty years old is excellent for a rogue cultivator, but within the sect, she’s rather average and doesn’t receive much favoritism.”

”Hasn’t she also inherited Elder Chen’s Talisman Making Skills? That should be able...”

Luo Chen stopped himself before finishing the sentence.

Talisman Making Skills?

That’s the last thing Shen Fu Sect lacks.

Even within Shen Fu Realm, it’s likely that all businesses related to talismans are monopolized by Shen Fu Sect and the various big and small families within the sect.

Chen Shuyi wouldn’t get a chance.

If you also consider the time she must spend after Foundation Establishment, going out to take care of business rotations and overseeing sect properties...

That Chen Shuyi has managed to cultivate to the peak of the Third Level Foundation Establishment is indeed due to her great efforts.

That’s the nature of cultivation in a top-level Great Sect.

The resources are limited, opportunities are scarce, but competition is limitless.

Luo Chen looked affectionately at the descendant of his old friend, then turned his gaze towards Fu Xiuxiu.

”Sister Xiu Xiu, you’re doing quite well, already a Seventh Level Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.”

She had left The Great River District over eighty years ago.

She was only a little over a hundred years old now.

With such a realm, reaching Golden Core was hopeful!

Fu Xiuxiu shook her head, ”It’s just some advantage of physique, plus I successfully established my foundation the second year after joining the sect, hence Elder Ye valued me and took me as a disciple, allowing me to reach this realm. Compared to you, it really doesn’t count for much.”

She spoke lightly, but the hardships involved were probably not easy.

With Luo Chen’s knowledge, he naturally understood Fu Xiuxiu’s physique.

It was the rare Descending Lake Physique, although not comparable to Li Yingzhang’s Nine-Bend Return Physique, in daily cultivation, her Spirit Power was like water by the Great Marsh, quite pure.

That’s why she dared to forcibly establish her foundation without a Foundation Establishment Pill back then.

Even if she failed, she could still save her life.

Luo Chen, as before, took out a bottle of Ascendant Grade Jade Dew Pill and offered it to her.

Fu Xiuxiu felt embarrassed to accept it, ”You formed a Golden Core and we didn’t even send a gift, how can we accept your generosity.”

”It’s not a gift, just a token of my sentiments. And besides, you brought the Ascendant Master Ye Xiang as a friend to congratulate me and bolster the prestige of Luo Tian Sect, which in itself is a great gift!”

”My master was just passing through Tianlan and he became curious about you after hearing me mention you, deciding to stop by for a visit,” she clarified.
