Chapter 520: Chapter 265: Alchemy Method, Supreme High Grade [First Update, Please Vote!]
The others followed closely, and the might of Core Formation exceeded five hundred zhang, which was already the threshold for forming a True Pill. As long as nothing went wrong afterward, the True Pill was assured. Because of this, the onlookers in the Immortal City couldn’t help but feel sentimental.
"This time’s Core Formation is truly a fierce competition, with the might of Core Formation for six individuals exceeding five hundred zhang. Now let’s see who possesses the Yin Sha Evil Spirit; the possessor will be the victor this time."
"Truly brutal, all have a Core Formation might of five hundred zhang, at least proving their foundations are extremely strong, with the aid of the Celestial Yin Pill. If the Core Formation resources are sufficient, the Yin Sha Evil Spirit is not that hard to find, and all six could potentially achieve True Pill." freewёbnoνel.com
"Aren’t you stating the obvious? The world is such; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many Fake Pill Zhenren. All are Loose Cultivators notorious outside, now it depends on who is better prepared. Once they successfully take this step, they can become a Zhenren, enjoy a thousand years of life, establish a sect and become an ancestor, truly an enticing prospect."
Just as everyone was feeling emotional, an even more terrifying Core Formation might suddenly formed, starting at a thousand zhang, instantly overwhelming the Core Formation might of the six around, and this might continued to expand.
The Core Formation might of the six quickly faltered, what was a dragon and tiger fight, in an instant, became a situation where manpower suppressed the heroes. Even the Core Formation might of the two Ten Great Heterodox Foundation Establishment cultivators was squeezed, starting to retreat and shrink.
However, there were still some whose Core Formation might continued to resist, clearly using the Yin Sha Evil Spirit. Those without the Yin Sha Evil Spirit had their Core Formation might completely crushed, destined only for a Fake Pill or even Core Formation failure.
Yet, even with the Yin Sha Evil Spirit, the Core Formation might could only maintain its original state, pushed to the edge of the Yin Vein’s core. Whether they could achieve a True Pill was still unknown. The core area of the Yin Vein was completely occupied by the Core Formation might, now expanded to one thousand five hundred zhang, which none could shake.
"Who is this person, crushing two of the Ten Great Heterodox Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with such ferocious Core Formation might, completely unshakable? Even a Middle-Grade Golden Core shouldn’t be like this, right? Could it be this person had great fortune and acquired a Tier Three Middle-Grade Yin Sha Evil Spirit?"
"Perhaps so. In any case, this Core Formation truly hides talents, such a situation hasn’t occurred in East Pole Immortal City for thirty to fifty years. Seeing this increasingly fierce Core Formation might, a Middle-Grade Golden Core is certain."
"There are four others yet to form Core Formation might, but looking at the situation now, it seems there’s nothing for them. They’ve taken so long without forming Core Formation might; they likely don’t have the Yin Sha Evil Spirit, and the quality of their Celestial Yin Pill is probably poor."
"That’s normal. The Celestial Yin Pill is a Tier Three item, only a Tier Three Yin Alchemist can refine it. But common Tier Three Lower-Grade Yin Alchemists don’t have much experience in refining Celestial Yin Pills; getting a formed pill is already good. High-quality Celestial Yin Pills can only be achieved by Tier Three Middle-Grade or Tier Three Top-Grade Yin Alchemists. But these alchemists, how could we Loose Cultivators ever employ them?"
As the cultivators lamented, Master Zhu and Qi Qiantian also looked at the ever-stronger Core Formation might above.
Master Zhu raised his hand in congratulation, "Congratulations Elder Qi, the Pill Transformation Rebinding process is as firm as a fortress, a Middle-Grade Golden Core is assured."
"This kid has finally not disappointed me a second time, not wasting the decades I spent seeking this Alchemy Method, nor did it waste Master Zhu’s elaborate effort to seek resources for Core Formation for this kid."
Qi Qiantian smiled contentedly and raised his cup in thanks.
"No need, Elder Qi’s matters are Zhu Mou’s matters as well." Master Zhu also raised his cup, very satisfied with this outcome.
He had earned Spirit Stones from those wise Loose Cultivators, and also bagged Qi Qiantian’s favor. The key was that those Loose Cultivators, regardless of success or failure, wouldn’t harbor any grievances.
After all, encountering the achiever of a Middle-Grade Golden Core, they could only consider themselves unlucky.
No one would know their failure was due to an Alchemy Cultivator mixed among them.
Initially, he had some apprehension about Du Guan and the other, especially upon learning after receiving their Spirit Stones that they had a Golden Core Corpse Cultivator behind them.
But the two hadn’t even formed Core Formation might yet, estimating even a Fake Pill was beyond them. Even if they deduced the true reason the Golden Core might couldn’t be shaken afterward, that Golden Core Corpse Cultivator wouldn’t say much.
...
Meanwhile, Wen Jiu watched all this unfold, unbothered.
The Core Formation might presented by the foundation of the two Corpses couldn’t be withstood by an Alchemy Cultivator with a strong background.
In fact, he should thank this Master Zhu; if not for him seeking Core Formation resources for Qi Qiantian’s illegitimate child, the competitors for the two Corpses this time might not just be these Loose Cultivators.
If all were Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Golden Core influences, each likely possessing the Yin Sha Evil Spirit, during the formation of Core Formation might, they would certainly consume even more Yin Spiritual Qi, and even the slightest oversight could deprive the two Corpses of the necessary Yin Spiritual Qi for Core Formation.
However, this still wouldn’t change the grudge against Master Zhu for being an obstacle to the path.
After all, unlike the Lu Family, who merely had him sign a Spiritual Qi contract, Master Zhu had practically emptied him of several tens of millions of Spirit Stones, almost bankrupting him. If he hadn’t killed Jue Xing this time, his savings would be depleted, so he would surely make Master Zhu repay doubly in the future.
Collecting his thoughts, Wen Jiu refocused to control the East Spring Undying Bone, observing the Pill Transformation Rebinding process, "I used to think Core Formation was an irreversible process, once formed, true or false was set, and couldn’t be changed. I didn’t expect there to be an Alchemy Method, yet this method didn’t have much information in the soul memory of the Three Karmic Demon Luo, only a concept, clearly a recent creation.
This Alchemy Method can shatter a Fake Pill, dropping cultivation back to Foundation Establishment, yet allows the reconsolidation of a Golden Core, truly mysterious. This youngster could only achieve a Fake Pill previously, certainly not due to inadequate Core Formation resources from Qi Qiantian, or lacking the Yin Sha Evil Spirit, it merely reflects his original foundation. Yet using the Alchemy Method for re-formation allowed him to reach the level of a Middle-Grade Golden Core.
Although not yet fully successful, this Core Formation might was indeed that of a Middle-Grade Golden Core. Back in the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein, the Core Formation might of the He Family’s Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator wasn’t beyond this."
After murmuring, Wen Jiu again drifted into thought. If the two Corpses didn’t form Top-Grade Golden Cores, but merely Upper-Rank instead, could the Alchemy Method be used again? With the East Spring Undying Bone as a foundation, as long as the Alchemy Method existed, there surely wouldn’t be a problem.
As for Core Formation resources, with the East Spring Undying Bone growing stronger, acquiring them will surely become easier.
"There must be limitations or drawbacks, or else everyone with the Alchemy Method would be ascended to Upper-Rank or Top-Grade Golden Cores?" As far as he knew, the strongest in the West Mountain Floating Domain was merely Upper-Rank Golden Core.
Continuing to observe the Alchemy Cultivator’s reconsolidation of the Golden Core a day later, the two Corpses had also completed fusion, beginning to generate Core Formation might. As for Crossing the Tribulation, Wen Jiu wasn’t worried at all, for in the recent months, he transformed secretly into a Ghost Cultivator, or utilized Lu Chan to fence Master Jue Xing’s items, purchasing lots of corpse-nourishing things, the Yin Sha True Spirit Body of the Three Thousand Blood Inks had reached Tier Two Peak, as had the Dongquan Blood Demon Body of the East Spring Undying Bone.
Plus, with the massive support of corpse Qi within the East Spring Undying Bone, the Thunder Tribulation of Core Formation was no threat.
The next moment.
The Core Formation might of the two Corpses suddenly formed, and the Golden Core also stabilized at this moment. When seeing the Golden Core of the Three Thousand Blood Inks gradually turn to a dark golden color and shine with a blazing sun-like brilliance, Wen Jiu stood momentarily dazed in his cave dwelling.
"Top-Grade Golden Core!"
Wen Jiu then looked at the other Golden Core.
A pure golden hue, with incredibly dazzling light, concealed within the body, truly blinding in internal viewing. If the Golden Core was an entity, it would shine over an expanse of thousands of zhang, "Upper-Rank Golden Core... one Top-Grade, one Upper-Rank!"
At this moment.
Wen Jiu couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.
Two Top-Grades, one Upper-Rank, such are the Three Corpses.
Should they grow, in the Golden Core Realm, who could rival them?
