Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1561: Chapter 578: Art of Origin Core, Nascent Soul Pill Formula, Black Green Treasure Basin, Mobile Spiritual Vein!_2

Han Zhan’s voice echoed incessantly in Luo Chen’s mind.

External Incarnation!

Not some puppet incarnation!

But an external incarnation almost identical to the original body!

In his excitement, Luo Chen swallowed hard and asked eagerly, ”Is it really that amazing?”

”Do you think I would deceive you? A cultivator can only condense one Golden Core and one Nascent Soul in their lifetime. With my method, you could condense a second Golden Core. When facing the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation in the future, you could use Golden Core Transformation to Nascent to have a second Nascent Soul incarnation.”

Han Zhan spoke somberly, ”This technique is known as the Art of Origin Core. It was a secret technique I intended to cultivate during my Golden Core period, yet I have never found Hidden Dust of adequate quality. Now it seems it will just be a cheap gift for you.”

Beyond his excitement, Luo Chen was also puzzled.

”Given its tremendous potential, why didn’t senior try to cultivate this technique after achieving the Nascent Soul?”

Han Zhan replied dejectedly, ”The Art of Origin Core can only be practiced once in a cultivator’s lifetime. Even if I were to re-cultivate this technique, at most I can only condense a second Golden Core. Without the aid of the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation, it’s impossible to transform the core into a Nascent Soul. Think about it, what use would a second Golden Core be to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator like me?”

After hearing this explanation, Luo Chen suddenly had an epiphany.

In his mind, he also unconsciously recalled some details.

It was the strangeness in Han Zhan’s tone when he obtained the Hidden Dust.

He had asked Han Zhan before if there was an appropriate method to utilize it, and Han Zhan’s reply was despondent, claiming there wasn’t.

Now it appeared that the tone at the time was not one of helpless despondence, but one of depression from missing an opportunity!

This old fellow, what a deep player!

Luo Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with a light chuckle, ”With such great potential, this technique must be of high order, isn’t it?”

”There’s no order to speak of, for it’s more like Pill Refinement or Artifact Refining. But its importance is beyond doubt; it’s one of the two grand secret techniques within the Three Skills and Two Techniques heritage of the Luo Yun Sect, and even more important than another Core Formation Secret Art ’Bead Curtain Lock’.”

Han Zhan answered, his tone carrying a trace of reluctance.

But faced with the opportunity to recover from his current plight, what did an unused secret technique of his own amount to?

Luo Chen silently nodded, he had long heard of the fame of Luo Yun Sect’s Three Skills and Two Techniques.

The mysteriousness of ”Bead Curtain Lock” had already displayed its formidable power during his own Core Formation.

Even though the ”Bead Curtain Lock” provided by the Luo Yun Sect was an incomplete technique, it indeed went smoothly for him after he perfected it and cultivated it to the Completion Stage.

Among the Three Skills and Two Techniques, the Bead Curtain Lock corresponds to the Core Formation checkpoint, and now this so-called Art of Origin Core apparently corresponds to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realms.

This heritage of the Luo Yun Sect truly is extraordinary.

Presumably, within the remaining three skills, aside from the widely recognized Puppet Arts, the other two skills must also have their unique features.

However, now was not the time for Luo Chen to inquire about those secrets.

Without further hesitation, he responded to Han Zhan’s request.

”This piece of Soul-Nurturing Wood, I will do my best to acquire for you.”

He thought that by making this promise, Han Zhan would be satisfied.

However, he did not expect...

”It’s not about trying; you must acquire it!”

Luo Chen frowned, ”Senior, are you perhaps overestimating me?”

Han Zhan said, ”After selling those Demon Crab materials, you have a wealth of millions of Spirit Stones. Ordinary Golden Core Cultivators do not have such liquidity, not even newly advanced Nascent Soul True Masters may be as wealthy as you. Getting a piece of the Soul-Nurturing Wood, not difficult!”

Luo Chen shook his head, ”It’s not as simple as that. My funds are primarily for gathering materials for the Nascent Soul Formation Elixirs, I also need to spend on materials for a Defense Magic Item, and then see if there’s anything good in the auction that suits me. If all the funds were used to bid for the Soul-Nurturing Wood for you, it would disrupt all my plans.”

”Don’t you want to obtain the Art of Origin Core any longer?”

Luo Chen feigned a bitter smile, ”Though the technique is exquisite, it seems difficult to cultivate and to fully realize its potential wouldn’t be until after my Nascent Soul Formation. Without treasures for protection, without pills for Nascent Soul Formation, how can one speak of the future?”

Unrealized potential, after all, is but a mirage.

Just like those countless prodigies in the world of Immortal Cultivation, whose brilliance ceases with their fall, becoming mere earth, far from so-called absolute powerhouses.

”Luo Chen, don’t push it too far!”

”Sorry, I can only do my best.”

As the conversation carried on, the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

And just then, the preparation for the outside auction had ended.

Swish!

The bright lights in an instant illuminated the entire Cold and Secluded Palace.

Countless seated cultivators were visible below, the fiery anticipation in each other’s eyes warmed the Cold Palace.

Luo Chen stood at the open window of the private box, watching this scene with great anticipation.

As a Golden Core Cultivator stepped onto the central platform, a clear sigh finally came through his mind.

”Enough, enough!”

”I understand you want to gather a large number of materials for Nascent Soul Formation Elixirs, hoping to deduce a complete Nascent Soul Formation Pill Recipe through your Pill Technique. This process will surely consume vast amounts of materials, which is why you’re investing heavily in this auction.”

”That Nascent Soul Formation Pill Recipe from Qingdan Valley’s Qing Danzi was actually provided by me.”

”As long as you promise to do everything you can to win this piece of Soul-Nurturing Wood for me, I’ll give you the recipe, even describing to you in detail my own experience taking the Nascent Soul Formation Pill.”

”Luo Chen, with this, is it enough!?”

Beneath someone’s roof, one must lower one’s head.
