Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 847: Chapter 347: Rapid Progress, Nascent Soul Formation Pill Formula

Clouds drift and dogs bark, time flies like an arrow.

Since Luo Chen had been a guest at the Qingyun Peak’s Budding Cultivator Hall, half a year had gone by in the blink of an eye.

Even though cultivators are indifferent to the cold and heat of seasons, the transition from spring to summer was still visibly apparent.

During such a lengthy period, the planned tour of Qingdan Valley’s fifty glorious peaks had hardly taken place.

Tao Wen was busy!

Having become a Budding Cultivator, cultivation was no longer the most crucial matter for her.

Reinforcing her grip on her disciples, expanding her connections, and boosting her prestige were her obligations.

Besides, she had to follow Sect Leader Qing Yunzi from time to time, learning to manage Sect affairs.

Qingdan Valley had provided enormous help and a wealth of resources to assist her in achieving her Golden Core, but it was not without the expectation of repayment.

Once she achieved her Golden Core, she would have to take over as Sect Leader from Qing Yunzi.

After that, she would toil for Qingdan Valley for a hundred years until the next Budding Cultivator emerged.

At that point, she would finally become an Elder and choose one of the four other peaks for secluded cultivation.

Outsiders might find it burdensome, but for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it was a rare and fortunate event.

Even if there were another Seed Cultivator Battle, Tao Wen would go all out once again.

She was so occupied, Luo Chen was almost never seen outside.

He practically holed up in the Budding Cultivator Side Hall all day to cultivate.

It wasn’t just about inhaling and exhaling the Heaven and Earth Qi that simply.

He had also asked Tao Wen to find an open space where he could practice his techniques at any time.

Since the concentration of Spirit Qi was so high, he could rapidly replenish the Spirit Power he spent while casting techniques like crazy.

Naturally, there was no need to calculate his Spirit Power consumption as frugally as before, avoiding delays in improving his proficiency in techniques.

Both were so busy they often went several days without seeing each other.

But the reason it was ”almost never” stepping outside meant that Luo Chen still went out from time to time.

His destination was not a secret, either.

It was a place many young Pill Refiners dreamt of being part of.

Danyang Peak, Tai Dan Court!

After all, he was the one who had dominated the second round of the Seed Cultivator Battle!

Since Tao Wen had kept him around, Tai Dan Court naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

From time to time, experienced Second Order Pill Refiners would invite him over as a guest to discuss the Dao of Alchemy.

Moreover, aside from Ascendant Master Chi Ding, Luo Chen even got to know another Third Order Pill Refiner from Qingdan Valley—Ascendant Master Xingyun.

She was a spirited old lady who appeared as a youthful senior with white hair.

Her mastery in Pill Refinement Technique was exceptionally high.

On the rare occasions when Luo Chen saw her refine pills, he was genuinely amazed.

However, such discussions became less and less frequent as time went on.

Inside Danyang Peak.

Ascendant Master Chi Ding and Ascendant Master Xingyun stood respectfully behind a bright and handsome young man, whose majestic bearing was clear and apparent.

Their gazes followed the figure that was gradually moving away into the distance.

After a while, the young man slowly said, ”Is there really no other way?”

Ascendant Master Xingyun immediately replied, ”I’ve checked. Luo Chen indeed has an exceptionally solid foundation in the Dao of Alchemy, and he handles various Pill Techniques with ease, hardly inferior to myself. He even seems to have learned the Star Taking Hand that I deliberately performed in front of him. But...”

Therein lies the problem with that ’but’!

Ascendant Master Chi Ding sighed, ”The issue is, Luo Chen’s talent in the Dao of Alchemy is, at best, average. We were all deceived by his performance in the Pill Refinement Competition.”

Ascendant Master Xingyun shook her head and said, ”We can’t exactly say that we were deceived. The questions posed in the Pill Refinement Competition were not too difficult, and while the two Pill Formulas were indeed novel, they were simple to refine. With Luo Chen’s tremendously terrifying foundation in alchemy, he naturally managed to outshine the Qingdan Seven Sons. In the end, we were just too hard on Dan Yangzi.”

After hearing this.

The young man’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

”So, you’re saying that Luo Chen cannot be trained as a prospective Third Order Pill Refiner?”

Ascendant Master Chi Ding smiled wryly, ”Indeed, with insufficient talent, even if one has a solid foundation, one can only show off amongst Pill Refiners of the same Order. He is truly not qualified to refine Nascent Soul Pills across Orders. My brother, I fear we might still need to reach out to that young lady Mu from Luo Yun Sect.”

The young man referred to as brother was none other than Qing Danzi, the only one in Qingdan Valley who inherited the title of the founding elder.

He seemed young, but his actual age was nearly five hundred years old!

Within the vast Yu Ding Realm, among the few Late-Stage Great Cultivators, he was one of the older ones.

Qing Danzi shook his head.

”As the bargaining chip for allying with Luo Yun Sect and jointly opposing Yu Ding Sword Sect, Han Zhan has pushed us to the limit in exchange for the Infant Binding Pill Prescription.”

”If we ask anything more of Mu Yuxian, we will have to give up even more.”

Ascendant Master Chi Ding sighed, ”Then what should we do? In order to refine a Fourth Stage Infant Formation Pill across Orders, even with the assistance of the Azure Heaven Glaze Sky Tripod, we would need at least six Third Order Pill Refiners, right?”

”Currently, there are only three of us Third Order Pill Refiners in our Qingdan Valley. Junior Brother Qingyun has great talent. Once you hand over the Sect Leader duties to Tao Wen, he might rapidly improve his Pill Refinement Technique and attain Third Order, but that’s still only four people.”

Qing Danzi responded calmly, ”I shall personally make a trip to Dragon Head Peak tomorrow and bring back Dan Yangzi. His talent far surpasses Luo Chen’s. Once he steps into the Golden Core Period, he will be able to bolster our efforts!”

”Will it work?” Chi Ding asked tentatively.

”It must!” Qing Danzi replied sternly, ”He is a disciple of our Qingdan Valley, how could he defy the commands of his seniors? Besides, I can offer him the same Seed Cultivator resources, and he will agree.”

The same Seed Cultivator resources?

Wouldn’t that weaken the current advantage of the Budding Cultivator, Tao Wen?

Ascendant Master Chi Ding opened his mouth but did not speak.

He knew well that his brother was getting older, though he was still in better shape than their soon-to-be-seated junior, who was nearing the end of his time.
