Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 405 - 234: Tier Three Middle Grade Alchemist, Tier Three Early Stage Body Cultivator

Zhao Ming had been at the Core Formation Late Stage for many years, and his cultivation was the highest in the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, aside from Qingyun True Monarch. No fellow disciples within the sect could compare to him.

His aptitude was also quite good, among the best in the sect.

If it weren’t for Qi Chuan’s appearance, Zhao Ming would have been the most promising candidate to break through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm in the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

However, only Zhao Ming himself knew how much confidence he truly had in breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.

At least, he dared not claim how many years it would take to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.

But Qi Chuan, in his view, was indeed a Nascent Soul Seed, whose potential already surpassed his own.

Though currently only at the Core Formation Middle Stage, one level behind him, with Qi Chuan’s talent, it likely wouldn’t take long to reach the Core Formation Late Stage.

"Perhaps this is why the Supreme Elder gave Qi Chuan such recognition back then..." Zhao Ming thought internally, possibly because the Supreme Elder had already seen Qi Chuan’s tremendous potential at that time.

Next, in the Myriad Flowers Hall, Zhao Ming chatted with Qi Chuan and Feng Tan for a while.

The two brought back all the gains from the Tier Three Ruins to the sect and were credited for their work.

However, having just completed a task, there were no new assignments for the time being, so they could return to their respective Cave Mansions and cultivate for a while.

It is worth mentioning that since Qi Chuan had broken through to the Core Formation Middle Stage, Zhao Ming also agreed to exchange a Tier Three Middle Grade Cave Mansion for him.

This was undoubtedly a good thing.

Upon leaving, Zhao Ming revealed information that the time for the Demon Insect Nest’s seal to loosen might be earlier than expected, a message he said came from Qingyun True Monarch not long ago.

Upon learning this, Qi Chuan and Feng Tan’s expressions became somewhat grave.

Many years ago, Qingyun True Monarch mentioned it would loosen within several decades.

Now, with the timeline moved up, an even stronger sense of urgency arose in their hearts.

In the face of a disaster sweeping across the entire Beihua State, no amount of preparation could be deemed excessive.

Qi Chuan left the Myriad Flowers Hall and returned to his Tier Three Lower Grade Cave Mansion. As for the Tier Three Middle Grade Cave Mansion, it would take some time to be ready for use.

"The outbreak of the Demon Insect Tide has been moved up, but my cultivation is no longer at the previous Core Formation Early Stage; I am now in the Core Formation Middle Stage, with a significant increase in strength, giving me more ability to protect myself than before."

"However, it still seems a bit unsafe. I should strive to reach the Core Formation Late Stage before the Demon Insect Tide breaks out."

At this moment, Qi Chuan thought to himself.

The Core Formation Late Stage is the final stage below the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.

Once I advance to the Core Formation Late Stage, unless faced with a Nascent Soul True Monarch or encountering a Tier Four Demon Insect comparable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch, I won’t be threatened.

One might say this is the utmost I can do for self-preservation.

As for advancing to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, it is not something that can be accomplished in a short time, and it is utterly impossible to achieve before the Demon Insect Tide breaks out.

Thus, refining the Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal into an elixir that enhances cultivation becomes crucial before the outbreak of the Demon Insect Tide.

Therefore, besides regular cultivation, Qi Chuan devoted most of his energy to improving his alchemy skills.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, during which Qi Chuan moved to the new Tier Three Middle Grade Cave Mansion.

During this half-year, the news of Qi Chuan breaking through to the Core Formation Middle Stage had already spread among many Core Formation True Masters in the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

Upon learning that Qi Chuan had advanced to the Core Formation Middle Stage, many Core Formation True Masters in the sect were shocked.

Even Wang Tong remains in the Core Formation Early Stage without a breakthrough yet, while Qi Chuan, on the other hand, took the lead and broke through first.

Moreover, once he broke through, he showed terrifying magical combat power in a confrontation with two Core Formation Middle Stage powerhouses from Yin Yang Mansion, which was astonishing.

Numerous Core Formation True Masters began to realize Qi Chuan might be a coveted Nascent Soul Seed within the sect.

Regarding the reputation spreading outside, Qi Chuan paid little attention, immersing himself in his own rhythm.

One day, Qi Chuan’s alchemy skill finally reached the level of a Tier Three Middle Grade Alchemist.

Reaching this level allowed him to start attempting to refine the Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal into an elixir.

Thus, Qi Chuan began alchemy in the alchemy room of his Cave Mansion.

After several attempts, the first three batches of elixirs, without exception, all failed.

This inevitably made Qi Chuan somewhat disappointed.

However, fortunately, the fourth batch of elixirs finally succeeded, and surprisingly, four pills were formed at once.

[Using Core Formation Divine Sense, with careful manipulation of the alchemy technique, you condensed Fire Separation Purifying Spirit Pills, attempting to form six pills. A hundredfold critical strike triggered, granting a hundredfold harvest, significantly enhancing your level of refining Fire Separation Purifying Spirit Pills.]

As the pills formed, a line of script as he anticipated appeared before Qi Chuan’s eyes, and a flood of alchemical comprehension surged in his mind.

After absorbing all the alchemical comprehension, Qi Chuan opened the cauldron lid and placed the four Fire Separation Purifying Spirit Pills into a Jade Bottle, discarding the remaining two wasted pills.
