Chapter 1718: Chapter 646: Golden Core Late Stage

Tianyuan Immortal City.

As soon as Zhou Chun entered the Immortal City, he headed straight to Zhou Daoyi’s cave residence.

He hadn’t been here for many years, and the elixirs he previously entrusted Luo Qingni to refine were now all stored with Zhou Daoyi.

Upon meeting Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun first shared the good news of Zhou Yuanlian’s successful Core Formation.

“Wonderful! Now besides Ying’er, our Zhou Family has another distinguished lady!”

Upon hearing about Zhou Yuanlian’s successful Core Formation, Zhou Daoyi couldn’t help but applaud and was overjoyed.

Later, when he learned that the couple Xu Fu and Zhou Xinyan were also in seclusion for Core Formation, he lightly sighed, “Three people going into seclusion simultaneously for Core Formation might split a lot of luck among them. I hope they all succeed!”

The concept of luck, though not entirely intangible, also cannot be seen by people.

People often just want to find an excuse for failure.

Failing due to bad luck is always better than admitting one’s skills were inadequate.

Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun both knew that it was almost impossible for all three to succeed by going into seclusion for Core Formation at the same time.

If even one succeeds, it would be a good outcome.

If two succeed, it would be a stroke of luck!

Conversely, if none succeed, it means their luck was just too poor.

The topic was somewhat heavy, so Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi didn’t dwell on it.

Anyway, nothing could be changed now; they could only wait for the results.

Zhou Daoyi quickly changed the subject, “Zhengchun, you’ve come to collect those spirit pills this time, haven’t you? Just last month, Taoist Friend Luo successfully refined the last batch of spirit pills and sent them to me.”

Saying this, he took out eight alchemy bottles and handed them to Zhou Chun.

The elixirs within these eight bottles were the fruits of Luo Qingni’s alchemy efforts over the years.

They were divided into five types, each beneficial to Golden Core Stage cultivators, including the “Hundred Herbs Ginseng King Elixir,” which could be taken by both cultivators and Demon Beasts.

Another was a rare spirit pill called the “Six Harmonies Soul Nourishing Elixir,” which was particularly useful to Zhou Chun.

He had once signed a “Nether Ghost Contract” with Grandmaster Yan Cang, which damaged his Divine Soul essence. Although the “Ice Soul Resurrection Pill” he acquired at an auction helped partially, it wasn’t entirely restored.

Luo Qingni had successfully refined three of the “Six Harmonies Soul Nourishing Elixir.” Consuming just one could completely restore Zhou Chun’s Divine Soul essence.

The last spirit pill among the five types was the “Reviving Pill,” a sacred healing elixir famous for its healing and regenerative effects. As long as the body could absorb the medicinal power, even severe injuries could heal!

This elixir could only be refined one per batch, with its main ingredient being a “Breath Regaining Grass” over five thousand years old, highly effective even for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

Luo Qingni only dared to refine this elixir after confirming she had reached the Alchemy Grandmaster realm.

Indeed, after consecutively refining seven or eight batches of high-tier elixirs, Luo Qingni completely integrated her knowledge and carved her own path on the alchemy path, officially becoming a school of her own!

Then, after Zhou Chun inspected all the elixirs and pocketed them, he looked at Zhou Daoyi and asked, “The news of Taoist Friend Luo becoming an Alchemy Path Grandmaster hasn’t spread yet, has it?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi immediately shook his head and replied, “I haven’t heard any such news, so it should not have spread yet.”

“I understand; in that case, there’s no time to lose, and I will go visit right away.”

Zhou Chun nodded and promptly stated his intention.

Immediately, he sent a communication talisman to Luo Qingni, informing her of his arrival at Tianyuan Immortal City.

Once Luo Qingni responded that she was available, Zhou Chun headed straight to “Qingni Residence” to visit.

“It’s been years, and Taoist Friend Zhou seems to have made considerable progress in cultivation. Could it be that you’ve already touched the barrier to the Golden Core Late Stage?”

Inside the cave residence, after receiving her visitor Zhou Chun, Luo Qingni soon noticed the change in his cultivation aura and whispered a question.

Zhou Chun naturally had no need to hide it, and soon nodded calmly, “Taoist Friend Luo has good eyes; I’ve indeed been preparing to break through to the Golden Core Late Stage.”

“Then, Qingni must congratulate Taoist Friend Zhou, who has once again outpaced Qingni!”

Saying this, Luo Qingni couldn’t help but show a hint of admiration on her face.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun laughed heartily, “Haha, Zhou Mou has only taken a step ahead. With Taoist Friend Luo’s aptitude, I’m sure you’ll catch up in a few years!”

These words were indeed true.

Luo Qingni had only advanced to the Golden Core Middle Stage a few decades later than he had.

However, because he often journeyed outside and his aptitude was not as good as Luo Qingni’s, his subsequent cultivation progress was not faster than hers.

Although he later relied on the “True Return Pill” to overtake her, Luo Qingni also refined a piece of “Wood Essence Core” during that period, saving decades of arduous cultivation effort.

Now, with the two Fifth Order Spirit Apricots and several spirit pills that Zhou Chun gifted her, which could enhance mana cultivation, Luo Qingni would only need three to five decades more of cultivation to touch the Golden Core Late Stage barrier.

Luo Qingni herself understood this, so when Zhou Chun remarked, she smiled, indicating her agreement.

“By the way, I must congratulate Taoist Friend Luo for fulfilling your wish and becoming a Grandmaster of a school!”
