Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3219 - 1213: The Secret of Spirit Mechanism, Pioneering the Mountain Sea

Before everyone could question, Luo Chen confidently began to speak.

”Circulating Qi, automatic cultivation. It does not harm the body nor consume the soul, using elixir to drive the cultivator’s Golden Core to automatically operate, absorbing and refining Outer World Spirit Qi.”

”Its characteristic is the immense medicinal power of the elixir itself, which can sustain for a long time. The primary ingredient, Zhou Yuan Fruit, is a rare essence of Spirit Qi, sufficient to achieve this, but difficult to cultivate, hence you thought of replacing the primary ingredient with other similar medicinal materials to achieve a slightly inferior effect.”

Above, Gongsun Mao nodded his head, eyes filled with immense appreciation for Luo Chen.

No matter what ideas Luo Chen expressed next, at least his previous words had succinctly summarized the main ideas discussed by himself and the group of three-stripe alchemists at Spirit Pill Peak.

Theoretically speaking, this junior named Xuan Luo has already entered the field.

Without any interruptions, Luo Chen continued to speak freely, but his words suddenly took a sharp turn.

”The thought process of replacing the primary ingredient is correct, but the focus is wrong!”

”There are many medicinal materials containing immense Spirit Qi across our sect and even on Youxuan Continent, most can achieve similar effects. However, the third-order Circulating Qi Pill corresponds to Golden Core cultivators, while second-order elixirs correspond to Foundation Establishment cultivators. The greatest essential difference between the two seems to be the Golden Core Dao Fruit, but in reality, it’s Divine Consciousness!”

At this moment, Gongsun Mao furrowed his brows tightly.

There’s no need for him to speak, someone already rebutted Luo Chen.

”Nonsense, is the difference between Foundation Establishment True Cultivator and Golden Core Ascendant Master not the condensation of the Golden Core?”

”Swallowing a Golden Core, My fate lies in my own hands, not heaven’s, which shows the importance of the Golden Core to a cultivator.”

”Brat, this isn’t a place for you to spout paradoxes!”

...

Amid voices of rebuke, He Jun couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Earlier, he had urged these senior brothers to be more tolerant of Luo Chen.

But he forgot, in the Dao of Alchemy, capability is paramount, and there’s no affection between senior and junior brothers.

Right is right, wrong is wrong!

If there’s a difference in philosophy, there’s no tolerance for even a bit.

In the corner of the Pill Hall, Wan Jiu Zhang’s expression was quite tense.

Even though his realm surpassed everyone present, he couldn’t interject, as this was a discussion between pill refiners.

However, regarding Luo Chen’s view on the fundamental difference between Foundation Establishment cultivators and Golden Core cultivators, he was rather contemplative.

Is the difference not in Qi Power, but instead in Divine Consciousness?

”Quiet!”

An elderly voice suddenly rang out, silencing the noise in the room.

Gongsun Mao squinted at Luo Chen.

”Go on!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, opting not to argue about the essential difference in cultivation realms, and instead continued to speak along the previous theoretical direction.

”The gap in Divine Consciousness makes it impossible for Foundation Establishment cultivators to cultivate frequently, let alone close-door cultivation for over dozens of years at a time.”

”Thus, the second-order Circulating Qi Pill you wish to mass-produce will place great pressure on Foundation Establishment cultivators, unless someone’s Divine Soul Endowment surpasses the Foundation Establishment stage to reach the Golden Core stage, only then can the theoretical demand be met.”

”Given this, in my view, the focus should not be on the primary ingredient.”

”Auxiliary materials! The ones that can stimulate the active Divine Soul of Foundation Establishment cultivators, are key!”

”Only by replacing the Ice Heart Flower within, with materials of stronger medicinal properties, can we truly accomplish mass production of the Circulating Qi Pill suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators.”

”That’s about it, thank you Master Gongsun for listening to my humble opinions.”

Luo Chen cupped his fist in a gesture of respect, lifted his green robe, and sat down calmly.

The atmosphere in the hall was quite tense due to Luo Chen’s radical statements on cultivation realm earlier, but once he finished expressing his thoughts, even though the tension persisted, some people were genuinely considering the direction Luo Chen proposed.

Others noticed the oddity, somewhat incredulously.

Some genuinely believed this youngster’s theory?

But when they saw that Master Gongsun was also in silent contemplation, all the noisy discussions quietened down.

After a while.

In thoughtful silence, Gongsun Mao slowly spoke: ”Xuan Luo, you mean that the Divine Consciousness of Golden Core cultivators is strong enough to endure the soul pressure brought by automatic cultivation with the third-order Circulating Qi Pill, but Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot; even the second-order Circulating Qi Pill we envisioned cannot handle its pressure. So, you suggest enhancing the auxiliary materials related to the Divine Soul without being so particular about the primary ingredient.”

”Is that correct?”

In his last sentence, he looked at Luo Chen with intense focus.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”Master has summarized it well, that’s pretty much what I mean.”

Gongsun Mao nodded, ”It’s an unconventional idea, differing from our mainstream concepts, but indeed opens up a path we hadn’t considered and may be worth trying.”

When those words ”may be worth trying” were spoken, all attendees in the hall realized something.

It meant Master Gongsun would incorporate Luo Chen’s ideas in subsequent experimental pill refinements.

Some expressed disagreement, thinking it would increase workload and weaken everyone’s commitment to the original theory.

But some believed it was worth a try, what if the previous theories led nowhere?

”He Jun, you are familiar with Xuan Luo, so it’s up to you to verify his idea! Any number of people and resources you need, just request, the Alchemy Institute will support you.”

Upon hearing this, He Jun’s eyes lit up.

This meant he could lead a team independently.

Whether or not results could be achieved, just the resources he could mobilize during the experiment were enough to make him excited.
