Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 606 - 255: Hardships turn one’s temples to frost, unyielding spirit forms the Golden Core_1



The majestic mountains stretch endlessly and the vast rivers and oceans are boundless, with countless Demon Beasts and strange creatures living in them.

The strong ones can fly through the sky, hide under the earth, move mountains, and overturn seas.

The weak ones frolic in mountains and forests, with a carefree disposition.

Although there are human cultivators, they are few in number, struggling to survive.

However, from the beginning of the ancient era.

Humans began to thrive, with Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators emerging in abundance, and even Divine Transformation cultivators ascending after crossing tribulations.

Under such momentum, the territory of the human clan continued to expand.

After thousands of years, Zhongzhou stabilized the Mountain Sea Realm, establishing a great undertaking for humanity!

With Zhongzhou at the center, they divided it into four great territories: East, South, West, North.

Eastern Wasteland, South Border, West Desert, North Sea.

Once the Five Domains were established, the great power of the Human Clan in the Mountain Sea Realm changed the era’s numbering system, named it after Mountain Sea, and confirmed the first year of the Mountain Sea Calendar.

From the first year onwards.

Time passed, and years flew by.

Three thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

In these three thousand years, the cultivators of the human race in the Mountain Sea Realm, adhering to the ideas of the great powers, continuously launched an Open War, expanding the territory of the human clan.

Thus, there was the Eastern Wasteland with 35 territories, the South Border with 187 ridges, the North Sea with boundless territory that reached the North Pole’s Night Sky Rubbing Heaven.

Four hundred years ago.

Within the Hehuan Realm in the Eastern Wasteland, a Golden Core Great Sect gave birth to a Nascent Soul True Master, who felt they could not expand in the Hehuan Realm and hence proposed the Open War.

This sect was named Yu Ding Sword Sect.

With the support of Hehuan Sect and the Eastern Wasteland Sacred Land, the Yu Ding Sword Sect quickly received the collective endorsement of Medicine King Sect, Shen Fu Sect, Five Elements Divine Sect, and Tian Fan City, all of which were Nascent Soul Great Sects.

In this way, there were six leading Nascent Soul Sects.

Not only that, but many Golden Core Sects within these Ascendant Sects sought to develop independently and joined the Open War initiated by Yu Ding Sword Sect.

Luo Yun Sect, Hao Ran Sect, Ming Emperor Sword Sect, Ice Castle, Qingdan Valley… A total of ten large Golden Core Sects.

Along with the six leading sects, the ambitious Open War was launched four hundred years ago.

The target was the Lianxia Mountain Range!

This war was also known as the Joint Offensive on Lianxia by the Sixteen Sects.

Ultimately, they succeeded.

The territory of the human clan increased from 35 in the Eastern Wasteland to 36.

The Yu Ding Realm was then referred to along with the other five realms as the Six Realms of the Far East.

However, success came at a cost.

Among the ten large Golden Core Sects that come from each Great Territory, nearly four were all but wiped out.

Ghost God Valley was one of them.

In truth, Ghost God Valley had a high rank among the ten large Golden Core Sects.

The Supreme Elder was even at the Ninth Layer of Golden Core, a powerful figure who was only one step away from forming a Nascent Soul.

The entire Ghost God Valley was famous for its Arrays, and had several prominent Sect Stabilizing Magic Items.

Monster-Locking Tower, Lan Ke Black and White Chess, Unparalleled Sword…

Among these Magic Items, there was one that was not very famous, but was coveted by the Golden Core Sects.

The Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror.

This treasure’s order was not high, just lower grade.

It had neither defensive capability or offensive power, and even the Array, which Ghost God Valley was best at, had no boosting effect.

However, this treasure had a uniquely miraculous effect on a cultivator’s Golden Core condensation.

As for how this effect came about, outsiders were unaware.

Since Ghost God Valley was annihilated and the remaining members changed to Immortal Cultivation clans and attached themselves to Yu Ding Sword Sect, the treasure seemed to have disappeared.

The saying “All yearn for the dazzling Golden Core, not caring about the people but asking about the Ghost God” thus became an absolute refrain.

But today.

One who was trying for a bargain was able to try his luck from a favorable opportunity stumbled upon and entered the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror’s realm.

Opening his eyes.

Luo Chen regretfully put down the bronze mirror in his hand.

“I’ve lost!”

After his experiments, this damaged bronze mirror, a Magic Item, has only a slight hallucinatory function left and is useless for anything else.

And that hallucinatory function now only works against low-level Qi Refinement State Cultivators.

Thirt-Thousand Spirit Stones, just like that, gone!

Luo Chen was bitterly disappointed, deciding not to bargain-hunt anymore.

“I might as well make use of the time I have to refine some more pills and earn more Spirit Stones!”

Although his pill-refining during half the year is enough for Luo Tian Creed to sell for an entire year, earning him enough Spirit Stones.

But Spirit Stones, who would ever think they had enough?

Luo Chen immediately plunged himself into the great cause of pill refining.

Six days later.

Luo Chen emerged from his busy work of pill refining and attended the auction held in Tian Lan Immortal City.

This auction was extraordinary!

It was co-sponsored by Qingdan Valley and Ice Castle, and the presiding figure was a Golden Core Ascendant Master from Ice Castle!

Luo Chen made impressive bids!

He consecutively bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill, Medium-grade Qi Condensing Pill, and the Spirit Pill.

He even helped Kang Xianqiong bid for the Third Order Healing Elixir she needed, thereby securing the Gold-Quality Jade Liquid agency business between the Kang Family and Luo Tian Creed.

After the auction ended.

Luo Chen personally supervised Min Longyu’s Foundation Establishment!

Outside the Immortal Mansion.

Luo Chen was full of expectation.

“If Min Longyu succeeds, then Luo Tian Creed will have one more Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, and even better, one with mastery in Array!”

However, the result greatly disappointed him.

Min Longyu failed. He was seriously injured and fell unconscious in the Immortal Mansion.

About the reason for his failure, Min Longyu had a bitter expression.

“I hesitated.”

Luo Chen opened his mouth but could only sigh.

Nobody offering Foundation Establishment Pill is absolutely certain of success.

Fu Xiuxiu failed, Duan Rui failed twice in a row after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, and even the mighty Wang Yuan only succeeded the second time.

Even he himself only barely succeeded after multiple failures.

Min Longyu must have waited too long after all!

After a sigh, he wasn’t dispirited.

Just kidding, the one who failed wasn’t him, and Min Longyu’s relationship with him couldn’t be considered close. Why on earth would he be dispirited?
