I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1121: Chapter 617: Heterodox Golden Core Cultivation Complete Chapter 1121: Chapter 617: Heterodox Golden Core Cultivation Complete Chen Mobai: “I’ve slain two Rank-3 demonic beasts and acquired two inner cores. I need Master Yan to help refine them into Heterodox Golden Cores.”

Yan Shaoyin: “No problem.”

Chen Mobai: “These three elixir recipes are for your use alone, you must not teach them to anyone else.”

Yan Shaoyin: “No problem.”

Chen Mobai: “Lastly, each time you refine these three types of elixirs, I want half of the batch!”

This third demand caused Yan Shaoyin to hesitate, as he furrowed his brows and seemed somewhat reluctant.

Yan Shaoyin: “I’ve previously worked with Daoist Brother Zhou Shengqing to refine the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills. Why not follow that same model for our cooperation?”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai understood what Yan Shaoyin was worried about.

The sheer quantity and rarity of the medicinal herbs required by these three elixir recipes, even for Back to Sky Valley with its leading medicinal fields in the Eastern Wilderness, would be a painful loss should they fail even once.

If Chen Mobai wanted to share half of the elixir profits, he would also need to contribute half of the raw materials needed for the refinement.

“Agreed!”

Chen Mobai thought it over and felt this was acceptable.

After all, in the entire Eastern Wilderness, only Yan Shaoyin was capable of refining the Infant-Feeding Elixirs.

Not to mention that in the Tianhe Realm, elixir recipes are considered even more precious, and though the Eastern Wilderness has only one Rank-4 Alchemist, there are other, even more outstanding alchemists in Dongwu and among the East Barbarians, some surpassing Yan Shaoyin.

Therefore, faced with Chen Mobai, who possesses the elixir recipes, Yan Shaoyin inherently lacks confidence.

The two men struck an agreement and both took a Dao Heart Oath.

Then, Chen Mobai handed over the “Return to True Elixir” recipe to Yan Shaoyin, who, with the eye of a Rank-4 Alchemist, couldn’t help but marvel after verifying it.

“Indeed, as expected of an alchemy recipe from an ancient great teaching, it so harmoniously balances the monarch, ministers, literati, and warriors. It’s just a pity that some of the medicinal herbs have gone extinct; alternative materials must be found.”

The alchemy recipe given to Yan Shaoyin was already modified by Chen Mobai to replace the herbs from the Immortal Gate with names from the Tianhe Realm. For those herbs that did not exist, he provided alternate names, annotating their effects and the environment where they grew alongside.

After discussing with Chen Mobai, Yan Shaoyin’s admiration for the young Sect Master Chen grew even more.

The man also had extraordinary skills in alchemy.

“So, Orchid Grass is actually such a thing…”

Upon learning the habits and effects of the final unheard-of herb in the recipe from Chen Mobai’s mouth, Yan Shaoyin felt an urge to immediately start gathering medicinal materials and begin alchemy.

However, he remembered the promise he had made to Chen Mobai.

First, he was to help refine two Heterodox Golden Cores!

“Do we need an Artifact Refiner to assist on the side? Should I find someone, or will Sect Master Chen call upon Divine Wood Sect’s Master Wang?”

“Since we’re going to refine, we naturally have to provide the best conditions.”

Chen Mobai smiled slightly. These Heterodox Golden Cores were crucial for the Divine Wood Sect’s hopes of having two cultivators reach the Golden Core stage. The favors he had accumulated were aptly used here.

If Yan Shaoyin was the number one Alchemist in the Eastern Wilderness.

Then the Artifact Refiner must also be the top in the Eastern Wilderness!

In the Fire Country, in the Fire Truth Palace.

Sheng Zhaoxi, who had returned from Yun Meng Ze and was recuperating from injuries, nodded slightly after reading the letter in his hands.

Not long after, on Lonely Mountain in the restricted area of Back to Sky Valley.

Three renowned Golden Core Cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness sat cross-legged in front of a massive Pill Furnace, jointly refining the Heterodox Golden Core!

Among them, the main forces were still Yan Shaoyin and Sheng Zhaoxi.

Chen Mobai mainly guarded the two and provided some assistance on the side.

After all, he also possessed knowledge of Artifact Refining and Alchemy, which allowed him to lend a hand where possible.

The Fourth-Order Fire Vein of Lonely Mountain, truly worthy of the Eastern Wilderness, endlessly spouted Earth-Core True Fire, which was absorbed by the Rank-3 Heaven Returning Furnace. This furnace refined various types of medicinal materials into colorful juices and, following a special method, condensed them drop by drop onto the monster beast inner pills.

Although it was Sheng Zhaoxi’s first attempt at refining Heterodox Golden Cores, he and Yan Shaoyin had discussed all the crucial points prior to the process, hence, smoothly cooperating with Yan Shaoyin to purify the essence and soul remnants within the inner core.

After the final step of transforming the demonic Qi in the inner core into a powerful energy that human bodies could wield was complete, all three couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

It was fortunate that Yan Shaoyin was a Rank-4 Alchemist who had observed others refining Heterodox Golden Cores at the Starry Sky Commerce Guild several times; otherwise, the process would not have gone so smoothly.

After the first Heterodox Golden Core was completed, the three did not rest, but continued with vigor to refine the second aquatic-type monster beast inner core as well.

“Thank you for your hard work, Master Yan. Here is the Alchemy Recipe for the ‘Nirvana Dan.ʼ”

Chen Mobai placed the two Heterodox Golden Cores—one verdant green and one dark blue—into a Jade Vial he had prepared, and then handed over the second recipe.

“Sheng Shijie, you’ve worked hard too.”

Chen Mobai turned to Sheng Zhaoxi, who had specifically come over to help. Due to the need for the Heaven Returning Furnace and the power of the Fourth-Order Fire Vein here, they could only request her presence.

“My life is owed to you; it’s only right that I work hard.”

Sheng Zhaoxi, however, merely shook her head, unconcerned. She also had a keen interest in refining Heterodox Golden Cores, and as such, helping out was like acquiring the method for free.

After the refinement was complete, Sheng Zhaoxi bid her farewell.

However, before leaving, she did not miss the opportunity to obtain some healing elixirs from Yan Shaoyin.

Of course, these were exchanged for Spirit Stones.

Largely due to Chen Mobai’s influence, as it had been a long time since Yan Shaoyin had sold any of his refined elixirs to the Golden Core Cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness.
