Chapter 520 - 271: Seeking Fairy Ni Chang to Prepare for Pill Formation

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lin."

Seeing Lin Chang’an looking exhausted, Long Jie nodded secretly.

This Mr. Lin really has an urgent character, completing it in just over a year.

But Lin Chang’an was helpless; he had to pretend to be tired despite his mental vigor.

If it weren’t for the allure of the spiritual ore, he wouldn’t have been in such a hurry.

Both sides were delighted this time, and after a warm reception, Lin Chang’an happily rode back on a Cyan-Horned Bull.

The Cyan-Horned Bull also clicked its tongue, showing a satisfied expression. It had its fill of spirit fruits and spirit grass this time.

As for accepting this spiritual ore, it was easy to handle by directly instructing the sword servants.

Then people were drawn from various families and even the Lu Family, including the Profound Sound Pavilion, gathering a group of cultivators with poor spirit root qualifications to mine.

Various forces arranged some cultivators to prevent embezzlement.

Greed exists among mortals and in the Immortal Cultivation Realm alike.

Now, as a Core Formation Cultivator, many wanted to manage Lin Chang’an’s cave abode, including these smaller families behind him.

...

Half a year later, in the earth fire chamber of the Profound Sound Pavilion.

The cave abode within was lit by the earth fire, and the hot atmosphere filled the air.

Yet, under this terrifying heat, fire attribute spirit grass and spirit fruits were planted around.

In the dense fire attribute spiritual energy, they grew extremely lush.

This showed the development of the Profound Sound Pavilion over the years, with its foundation slowly recovering.

In the center of the earth fire, a Tier Three Middle Grade pill furnace glowed red.

Before the pill furnace stood Lin Chang’an, or rather, the Tier Three Pill Master of the Profound Sound Pavilion.

"The materials for the Crystal Condensing Pill are finally collected."

The firelight illuminated Lin Chang’an’s face, and his eyes flickered as he repeatedly ensured there were no omissions in his plan.

The materials for the Crystal Condensing Pill were naturally exchanged with the Yin Spirit Demon Pill, some in secret and some with the Profound Sound Pavilion’s connections.

"As for collecting materials for the Crystal Condensing Pill, the Profound Sound Pavilion might be able to guess."

Isn’t it just Pill Formation?

For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it might be challenging to keep the Crystal Condensing Pill materials, but it’s different for a Core Formation Cultivator, especially with the Profound Sound Pavilion behind him.

"Only with the skills of Tier Three, it’s not as simple if it were an ordinary Core Formation Cultivator."

Lin Chang’an nodded secretly; this smooth process was due to having Tier Three skills and the support of the Profound Sound Pavilion.

For ordinary Core Formation families, the core cultivator’s actions concern the entire clan’s safety, making them hesitant to take risks, leading to a phenomenon.

There exists a group of Core Formation Cultivators, weak in power and magical treasures, unwilling to engage in combat easily.

Even due to cultivation resource issues, they spend most of their time honing skills, with few reaching Tier Three.

Thus, their lives are often impoverished, painstakingly planning Core Formation Spiritual Objects for their descendants.

"Once the Crystal Condensing Pill is refined, it’s time for Pill Formation!"

Lin Chang’an thought quietly; the current plan was different from before when he solely relied on the Spirit Supplement Pill.

"If I undergo Pill Formation as Wen Danshi, the split body’s fake pill cultivation can’t be hidden and will be exposed."

After all, if he performed Pill Formation, the quality would naturally not be low, attracting attention. As a Fake Pill Cultivator, it wouldn’t match.

Unless his main body’s cultivation skyrocketed, the split body’s strength would synchronize.

"Looks like I’ll have to use my main body for Pill Formation, but there’s no major crisis, as I’m outwardly still a Low Grade Golden Core, pursuing the Immortal fate aligns with an ascetic’s style."

"For ordinary cultivators with this opportunity, they would likely strive for the Immortal Golden Core."

Since in the Pill Formation Secret Skill, the process of transforming pill to liquid defies normal logic.

It impacts the cultivator’s meridians, dantian, viscera, and bone marrow, causing unseen injuries permeating the entire body.

Leaving numerous hidden damages.

A cultivator’s primordial energy is greatly harmed, giving them generally only one opportunity for Pill Formation in life.

"But I am different; with my Self-Healing Body, I’m not afraid of these injuries, allowing me to cautiously undergo Pill Formation twice."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an nodded; he avoided risks when possible.

"Excess resource expenditure pales in comparison to stability."

He combined remnants of Blood Evil Master’s memories, the Pill Formation Secret Skill, and some assurance from the Profound Sound Pavilion’s documents.

"Twice undergoing Pill Formation, striving for the Immortal Golden Core with Upper Grade Golden Core, assisted by pure Demonic Qi, gives a ninety percent chance."

If attempting the Immortal Golden Core in one Pill Formation, there’s only a thirty to forty percent chance, too low a probability.

Moreover, failing the Immortal Golden Core to pursue the Upper Grade Golden Core lowers its quality.

A few days later.

Following the furnace opening, a glorious light shimmered, and two high-quality Crystal Condensing Pills floated out slowly, making Lin Chang’an smile in satisfaction.

"With these two Crystal Condensing Pills, this Pill Formation will proceed much more smoothly."

...

Half a month later, Lin Chang’an rarely visited the Profound Sound Pavilion, the main peak where Fairy Ni Chang cultivated.

"Mr. Lin, do you truly intend to undergo Pill Formation?"

Lin Chang’an’s arrival left Fairy Ni Chang puzzled, but as he spoke, she was surprised.

She expected the Pill Master to undergo Pill Formation, but never imagined Lin Chang’an, the Honored Guest Elder aiming to condense a True Pill, would also plan for Pill Formation.

She seemed to understand why he hadn’t focused on crafting his Lifebound Treasure and continued this endeavor.

Seeing Fairy Ni Chang’s surprise, Lin Chang’an sighed softly and said,

"I have cultivated hard for over a century and although I formed a True Pill, it’s merely a Low Grade Golden Core, and I’m unwilling to halt my Immortal path."

After careful consideration, Lin Chang’an sought out Fairy Ni Chang.

His future swift cultivation growth would surely arouse suspicion, so it was better to be upfront.

Moreover, after Pill Formation, there’s a Core Formation phenomenon, and someone could potentially cause trouble.

Going to Sea Abyss City, he would have to sell himself to Bihai Palace.

In outsiders’ eyes, he appeared as an ascetic, remaining the same after Core Formation, so proposing Pill Formation didn’t seem unnatural.

"Mr. Lin, your unwavering Dao heart is admirable!"

Fairy Ni Chang’s eyes sparkled with admiration at this point.

A lone loose cultivator advancing to this stage, maintaining a disciplined lifestyle after Core Formation without indulgence, deeply impressed her.

Earlier doubts faded, replaced by admiration.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, forming a True Pill but persevering in pursuing the Immortal Dao and daring to attempt Pill Formation was rare.

Feeling somewhat ashamed, Fairy Ni Chang reflected on her neglect of cultivation for the Sect despite her Celestial Spirit Root.

Compared to Lin Chang’an’s Dao heart, she realized her shortcomings.

"Mr. Lin, have you considered carefully?"

Fairy Ni Chang spoke softly after a long silence.

Now facing the Honored Guest Elder, she no longer viewed him as merely a Low Grade True Pill Cultivator but as an equal.

"I fortunately obtained the Blood Evil True Monarch’s legacy, containing a Pill Formation Secret Skill, and I’ve prepared all contingencies."

With a determined gaze, Lin Chang’an exuded an unwavering momentum, ready to sacrifice his life for the Dao.

"If that’s the case, I’ll personally lead two Core Formation Cultivators from our Sect to protect you during Pill Formation."

Fairy Ni Chang nodded in agreement, and Lin Chang’an expressed his gratitude with a bow.

"Our Profound Sound Pavilion also has an incomplete Pill Formation method for your reference."

Contemplating further, Fairy Ni Chang sought to strengthen their connection with Lin Chang’an by offering this consideration.

After all, unless exceedingly unfortunate, failing Pill Formation typically results in only minor setbacks.

Maintaining original status or only descending one level isn’t uncommon.

Moreover, Lin Chang’an being a Tier Three Array Master, recruiting him entirely to the Profound Sound Pavilion would be rewarding.

"My thanks to you, sir."

This time, Lin Chang’an didn’t refuse. Any opportunity to increase success chances is welcome.

"To show my gratitude, I’ll pen a copy of the Pill Formation Secret Skill from the Blood Evil True Monarch’s legacy for you."

Though delighted, Lin Chang’an remained cautious.
