Chapter 1916: Chapter 708: The Marvelous Uses of the Stone Dragon, Physical Body Rampage
Cultivators refining the spirit, this is of utmost importance!
It is rumored that when a cultivator reaches an extremely high realm, even if their physical body is shattered, they can still exist eternally within the world, shed their mortal form, and roam the universe.
This description far surpasses the realm where Han Zhan relies on the Nascent Soul to cling to life.
It is a more profound state, not dependent on shedding mortality.
Luo Chen, after a brief moment of imagination, did not ponder further and focused on the present.
He attempted the Three Treasures Unification once.
The experience was not very pleasant.
In that moment, he was plunged into chaos.
Especially his physical body, which unconsciously rampaged in the abyss, breaking through a mountain wall.
Until this point, Luo Chen realized how difficult it was to pursue balance with the Three Treasures Unification.
"No wonder the Fishing Elder once desperately sought the Body Refinement Method."
It is best for essence, qi, and spirit to be balanced, with none being too weak, otherwise it leads to imbalance.
Cultivators excel in Qi Refinement but are weak in Body Refinement, hence their Qi Power is formidable but their Blood Essence is weak, leading to a scarcity of Blood Essence.
Once the Three Treasures are unified, there will be signs of unstable Qi Power.
Previously, Han Zhan reminded Luo Chen not to waste Blood Essence, due to this taboo, fearing that Luo Chen would consume too much Blood Essence.
Later, he said nothing more, likely realizing that Luo Chen’s physique was robust and his Blood Essence abundant.
However, Han Zhan forgot, or perhaps even Luo Chen himself did not notice, that his physique was excessively powerful!
There was no occurrence of the usual Qi Power instability seen in Late Stage Golden Core Cultivators; instead, his physical body took dominance, leading to a period of unconscious rampage.
Upon realizing this, Luo Chen felt relieved.
If Qi Power is insufficient, then he should strengthen the Qi Power!
Refining its quality to the extreme.
At that time, he would try the Three Treasures Unification again.
This aligned with his recent focus on refining Qi Power.
In this way, Luo Chen’s cultivation became much easier than anticipated.
Every day, he only needed to meditate and refine qi, occasionally using the Prosperity and Decline True Fire to temper the Golden Core.
He even abandoned using elixirs.
His cultivation speed tripled compared to before, within the Golden Core Realm, elixirs were no longer necessary to accelerate cultivation; they might rather cause lingering Pill Poison.
With the extra time, Luo Chen concentrated on absorbing the Alchemical Dao inheritance of the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch.
Those seventy-two volumes of alchemy scriptures were undoubtedly a massive treasure trove for a Pill Refiner.
And the thirty-six pill formulas, independent of demons and monsters, just the Human Clan set alone could open the key to higher realms for cultivators.
In truth, this inheritance was one of Luo Chen’s greatest acquisitions at this time.
The Spiritual Root Pill Prescription was classified as one of the three pill formulas for the Qi Refinement Realm, supplemented by the First-Order Qi Nurturing Pill and the Purification Pill.
For the Foundation Establishment Realm, there were respectively the Foundation Establishment Pill, Hao Yuan Pill, and Vein Expansion Pill.
For the Golden Core Realm, there were respectively the Condensation Pill...
Even for the Nascent Soul Realm, there were corresponding three pill formulas, encompassing the Breakthrough Nascent Soul Pill Prescription, common Qi Refinement Pill Prescription, and a formula that could enhance the Original Source of the Divine Soul!
Browsing quickly through, Luo Chen felt a surge of excitement.
This entire set of pill formulas, from Qi Refinement to Nascent Soul, almost covered the entire Human Clan’s cultivation system, comprehensive!
If one could fully master it, it would surely cultivate numerous strong individuals in the Human Clan.
At least, the three breakthrough pill prescriptions Luo Chen sought in vain previously were all fully documented above.
Counting the sealed Soul-Stabilizing, Void-Examining, and Dao Integration three major pill formulas, that meant even Void Refining Stage elixirs were not lacking.
The only lacking stage might be the Divine Transformation Stage...
"No, above the Divine Transformation Stage, it’s also not lacking!"
Luo Chen recalled the final exam in the Alchemy Realm, the Law Extension Pill’s formula, which he still remembered clearly.
He even had a ready-made, complete Law Extension Pill in his possession!
However, that Law Extension Pill, upon his successful refinement and subsequent fainting, was stored inside the space of the Primordial Chaos Tripod, and now, without access to the tripod, the elixir could not be retrieved.
The more Luo Chen delved into the alchemical scriptures and pill formulas obtained from the Pill Hall, the more he admired the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, whom he had never met.
This was an existence that had reached the pinnacle of the Dao of Alchemy!
He traversed the alchemical paths of humans, monsters, and demons, each leaving a complete alchemical system.
Though Luo Chen had previously refined a Fifth-Order Law Extension Pill, in the System’s evaluation, he was still a Fourth-Order Pill Refiner.
This was an extremely rare situation.
It was probably related to the complete consumption of a hundred Achievement Points during the refinement of the Law Extension Pill.
But Luo Chen was confident that, as long as he could fully absorb the seventy-two volumes of alchemical scriptures, relying on his theoretical knowledge and solid foundation, he would inevitably reach the Fifth-Order Pill Refiner level.
The Demon Monarch inheritance provided him with endless benefits!
...
Time drifted by slowly.
In the blink of an eye, seven years had swiftly passed.
During these seven years, Luo Chen opened each of the Storage Magic Items he had acquired, gaining considerable resources.
Speaking of nothing else, just the Spirit Stones alone amounted to no less than thirty thousand Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones!
Thirty thousand, which may not sound like much.
But if converted into Lower Grade Spirit Stones, it would be three hundred million!
Three hundred million Spirit Stones!
This was an unimaginable fortune for Luo Chen, one he had never before obtained!
Even rogue Nascent Souls might not have this amount of savings, only those who dominate a region and establish sects might be comparable.
Besides this, Luo Chen also took the time to refine three Magic Item Level alchemy tools.
A tripod, a furnace, and a small cauldron.
This was preparation for the future refining of the Nascent Soul Formation Pill.
The Purple Monkey Flower was about to mature, the Divine Kite Tail was abundant, and the other supplementary materials had long been gathered.
The date to start refining elixirs could be counted on fingers.
But as his Natal Magic Item could not be used, Luo Chen naturally needed to find an alternative method in advance.
Regarding that Ancient Nascent Soul Pill Recipe, Luo Chen had it ingrained in his memory, and even learned several new pill techniques from the alchemical scriptures left by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, just in case.
In such silent preparation, time passed peacefully, as if everything was moving in a positive direction.
Until Tian Xuan stepped into the abyss.
Standing bowed outside the hut, he said anxiously:
"Master, there is something strange in the Blood Pool!"
There was no response, and although Tian Xuan was anxious, he could only wait patiently.
After a moment!
The Qi Power surrounding the hut gradually receded.
With it came Luo Chen’s voice.
"How is the Black King?"
Tian Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then replied with a dry voice: "He is awakening, but at the same time, his Divine Soul’s breath is dissipating."
Inside the hut, Luo Chen, sitting on a golden cushion, slowly opened his eyes.
Has the day finally come?
He had done everything he could; whether the Black King, who ended the Cliff Serpent’s Deep Slumber Technique, could get through it depended on his fortune.
Whoosh...
The gentle breeze blew, and when Tian Xuan looked up, Luo Chen, in white clothes with long sleeves flowing, was already by his side.
"Let’s go!"
