Chapter 560: True Person Bestows Elixir, Sudden Enlightenment

~15 min read 2,818 words

Random Recommendation:

Between the sky, the wind howled.

Dark clouds pressed down on the city, and silver light flickered.

Such celestial anomalies drew the attention of many cultivators in the city.

Outside the valley, Fu Fu Chaosheng blurted out "Signs of Core Formation."

But after observing for only a moment, his lifted heart settled back down, and he let out a low shout.

"Nonsense!"

It was unclear if the person inside the valley heard his rebuke.

The next moment, the wind and clouds rolled back, and the silver light vanished.

That special aura was suddenly retracted.

Between heaven and earth, only the spiritual energy extracted from the earth veins remained drifting, with no other anomalies.

At the same time, the mist and clouds inside the valley slowly dispersed, revealing a small path wide enough for one person to pass.

"Since a senior has arrived, why not enter the valley for a sit, and let this junior fulfill the duties of a host."

Hearing that clear and bright voice, Fu Fu Chaosheng raised an eyebrow, and without much hesitation, he walked in boldly.

Wherever he passed, the clouds and mist automatically dispersed and slowly closed behind him.

Before long, Fu Fu Chaosheng arrived in front of a wooden house.

A woman was guarding the entrance with extreme vigilance.

At the first sight of Fu Fu Chaosheng, Seeing Tianxuan blurted out, "Manager Fu, it's you!"

Fu Fu Chaosheng smiled slightly. "I said, we have an affinity, and we would surely meet again."

"You followed me!" Seeing Tianxuan's willow eyebrows stood up, and murderous intent arose.

Before Fu Fu Chaosheng could explain, the clear male voice from before came from inside the house.

"Seeing Tianxuan, do not be rude. This is a senior; you must address him as True Person."

Seeing Tianxuan was stunned, and then her face turned deathly pale.

"Senior Fu, apologies. This junior is currently inconvenienced; please enter the house to talk."

Fu Fu Chaosheng was not annoyed; he looked at Seeing Tianxuan playfully and then stepped into the house.

Outside the house, the pale-faced Seeing Tianxuan was at a loss, her thoughts churning like waves.

How could this be!

She was just selling some demon beast materials, and she actually encountered a Nascent Soul True Person.

And the other party was so patient, deliberately hiding their realm, chatting and laughing with her.

Wait!

Why would a Nascent Soul True Person hide their realm and deliberately play along with her?

They must have an ulterior motive!

Thinking of the other party following her all the way to this valley cave dwelling, wasn't their motive...

Seeing Tianxuan turned around with difficulty, biting her lip: "I didn't bring big trouble to Master, did I!"

The trouble in her heart was uncertain.

But Luo Chen was indeed encountering some trouble now.

As soon as Fu Fu Chaosheng entered the wooden house, he saw a man with disheveled black hair and a crimson face sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

His aura was fluctuating, and his magic power surged within the house.

Vaguely, even his spiritual sense was in a state of being unable to be contained, constantly expanding outward.

If it were someone else, they would consider it rude for a subordinate to casually release spiritual sense in front of a superior, but Fu Fu Chaosheng knew that the other party was helpless.

"It seems you are indeed quite inconvenienced!"

Luo Chen's bloodshot eyes blinked hard, and he said with some difficulty: "I've let you see a joke, Senior."

"It is indeed quite laughable."

Fu Fu Chaosheng said noncommittally, his gaze scanning the room.

At the same time, he spoke about the so-called laughable aspects.

"Your realm is insufficient, your spiritual veins are inadequate, and your essence, energy, and spirit are not fully perfected; you are completely unprepared, yet you dare to attempt to charge into the Nascent Soul stage. Junior, could it be that you have no master's guidance to act so recklessly?"

Luo Chen gave a bitter smile but did not explain further.

Fu Fu Chaosheng's scanning of the surroundings finally stopped; he had not found the target he wanted to see.

But before, he had indeed felt a Nascent Soul aura within that array.

Could it be that he had perceived it wrong?

Unable to figure it out, his gaze fell on Luo Chen.

And it was at this moment that he suddenly reacted.

"Eh, Jin Dan fourth level?"

Luo Chen nodded.

In his current state, he really couldn't hide his original cultivation realm; magic power fluctuations swirled outside, and anyone with a little knowledge could judge his specific cultivation.

Fu Fu Chaosheng's eyes froze.

At the fourth level of Jin Dan, he could actually trigger the initial signs of Core Formation.

If nothing else, just the foundation and talent of this child were terrifying.

If that were the case, his trip today was not in vain.

Thinking for a moment, he said: "You should know my identity, right!"

Luo Chen nodded. "Nascent Soul realm, kind face, approachable, and my maid also recognizes you. I suppose you are the legendary True Person Fu, one of the four great elders of the Ancestor Tianyuan Dao Sect's trading alliance in the North Sea!"

"Good insight; it seems you are not a bitter cultivator who ignores the world." Fu Fu Chaosheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Luo Chen, his eyes scanning him constantly.

Under his gaze, Luo Chen reported his background at the right time. "I am Luo Hai, a rogue cultivator."

"Luo Hai? Hehe..."

Fu Fu Chaosheng chuckled, knowing this was a pseudonym, but in this world, and in the North Sea, it was normal for the other party to be careful.

Luo Chen felt quite a bit of pressure; under the other party's gaze, it felt as if he had been seen through completely.

He knew it was just an illusion.

But it still made him feel like he was on pins and needles.

Clearing his throat, he said: "Senior..."

"Alright, I just came to take a look; that's enough."

After speaking, Fu Fu Chaosheng was about to leave.

However, before leaving, he paused, and two objects appeared in his hands, which he pushed toward Luo Chen with magic power.

Luo Chen was stunned. "This is?"

"This identity token is held by VIPs who spend over one million spirit stones at my Ancestor Tianyuan Trading Alliance. Your maid did a deal on my side, so you deserve this token."

"And this elixir..."

Fu Fu Chaosheng smiled. "Meeting is an affinity. Looking at your state, I'm afraid you won't recover for half a year. With this Yang-Returning Elixir, you can recover in three to five days. If you can take the opportunity to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that has stained your aura here, you might even have great gains."

Luo Chen was terrified. "How can I accept such a heavy gift, Senior."

"Just take it if I give it to you; just come to my Ancestor Tianyuan Tower to spend more in the future."

Fu Fu Chaosheng waved his hand, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.

Luo Chen opened his mouth, but in the end, he only told Seeing Tianxuan to see the guest off on his behalf.

On the small path in the valley.

Seeing Tianxuan followed Fu Fu Chaosheng nervously and respectfully, not daring to breathe loudly.

The middle-aged man's cheerful voice came.

"How did you get this transformed body?"

Seeing Tianxuan was startled, but she had a plan for such things, so she immediately replied: "This junior was lucky enough to consume a Transformation Grass, and with Master's elixir help, I had this opportunity."

Fu Fu Chaosheng was noncommittal.

Transformation Grass?

Elixir help?

He didn't care how much of these words were true or false.

After leaving the valley, he looked back, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Being able to understand the method of Core Formation at the mid-Jin Dan stage, even if it was the most superficial, showed talent and intelligence.

Being able to subdue a demon cultivator of the same rank for one's own use meant their strength was not low.

Especially that faint Nascent Soul aura, showing the other party was not someone without a background.

"Quite a talent!"

"A small show of goodwill to build an affinity; perhaps this child can help with that matter in the future."

"Giving out one Yang-Returning Elixir, just consider it planting a spare piece!"

After thinking for a while, the man left in a good mood.

Regardless, confirming that there were no strange Nascent Soul cultivators here and that it wouldn't hinder the upcoming major events was the biggest gain.

And after he left.

Seeing Tianxuan went to pay respects to Luo Chen and recounted the details of her interaction with Fu Fu Chaosheng.

Finally, she asked worriedly: "Master, I didn't bring you any trouble, did I?"

Luo Chen shook his head. "If it were another Nascent Soul True Person, there might be trouble, but this one is famously good-tempered, so it's fine. On the contrary, he helped me with a small favor."

Hearing this, Seeing Tianxuan was completely relieved.

After she left, Luo Chen sat quietly in the wooden house.

The stored Ten-Thousand Soul Banner reappeared, and Han Zhan's figure emerged.

Luo Chen asked without looking back: "Did he discover you?"

Han Zhan replied: "He shouldn't have. Although his realm is higher than mine at my peak, I am proficient in the way of refining spirits, and now I am just a remnant soul. With the help of this Ten-Thousand Soul Banner, and with intent to hide, it's not that easy to discover me."

"And the Nascent Soul aura in the array?"

"You can use the anomaly of your Core Formation to explain it slightly."

"In any case, it's still not very safe."

Han Zhan comforted him: "Actually, you don't need to be nervous. The Ancestor Tianyuan Dao Sect's trading alliance covers the four provinces, and each province has dispatched four Nascent Soul elders to manage it. These Nascent Soul elders fulfill their duties and basically do not form grudges with others without reason, only seeking profit and collecting intelligence for the Dao Sect. You are just a Jin Dan cultivator; the other party won't do anything to you."

Luo Chen grinned. Would they really not do anything to him?

If they knew he had once refined elixirs for the demon race, even if forced, they wouldn't easily forgive him, right!

His gaze finally rested on the token and the elixir on the table.

"The token is fine; I checked it. It's just the most ordinary Ancestor Tianyuan Tower VIP identity token. Before the other party gave it to you, they had already collected your leaked aura, so others cannot impersonate it."

"Then what about this elixir?"

Luo Chen's gaze fell on the elixir surrounded by golden cloud patterns.

With his knowledge, he knew this elixir was quite extraordinary, containing powerful medicinal power.

Han Zhan's tone fluctuated, and he said in surprise: "Yang-Returning Elixir? Good stuff! It was one of that Alchemy Saint's signature elixirs in his early years. It no longer flows out of the Eastern Wasteland and only circulates within the Mingyuan Sect."

An Alchemy Saint's signature elixir?

Luo Chen was shocked.

He knew much about the existences standing at the peak of alchemy in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The other party came from the Eastern Wasteland's Soul Transformation sacred ground, the Mingyuan Sect. After ascending to the Nascent Soul stage, for some reason, they traveled far to the Central Province and joined the Ancestor Tianyuan Dao Sect.

Now, their signature elixir appearing in the hands of a Ancestor Tianyuan Dao Sect Nascent Soul True Person was a matter of course.

"What is the effect of this elixir?"

"The effect is singular, specifically treating your current situation."

"Uh..."

Han Zhan said with a tone of regret: "Cultivator Core Formation is extremely dangerous. Not only is there the most iconic lightning tribulation, but also internal conditioning. So-called Jin Dan perfection is conditioning one's own state to reach perfection. After reaching that realm, the scattered soul, combined with essence, blood, and magic power, can then step into the state of yin soul returning to yang, achieving the cultivator's Purple Mansion Nascent Soul."

"But this process is very complex; a slight carelessness will hurt oneself."

"Many Jin Dan cultivators are stuck at the ninth level, unable to reach perfection, failing at this step repeatedly."

"Every failure causes great damage to oneself, and there may even be external demons invading. If there is a Yang-Returning Elixir to assist, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Even if it doesn't succeed, it can repair those damages."

"I wanted one back then but couldn't get it; I didn't expect the other party to just casually give you one. You really have deep fortune, kid!"

Luo Chen's heart shook.

He clamped the golden pill with two fingers, his mouth and tongue dry.

After his constant checks, he could be sure that this elixir was non-toxic and had no hidden tricks.

Fu Fu Chaosheng was so generous to give him a Yang-Returning Elixir, and he really didn't know what to say.

This favor, it's hard to say if it's big or small!

But at the time, he couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to refuse.

"You should eat it later; otherwise, your current state is really not suitable for participating in the Fairy Feileng City auction."

"Hmm." Luo Chen muffled, already impatient in his heart.

Han Zhan felt a bit guilty.

"My fault, I didn't remind you earlier."

Luo Chen exhaled a turbid breath. "How can I blame you? I didn't expect that by deducing the demon cultivator technique, I would understand the method of Core Formation, subconsciously operating it, and almost caused a big mistake. If you hadn't interrupted me with soul sound, I might have died under the sudden lightning tribulation."

Yes.

The scene he caused earlier was beyond everyone's expectations, including Luo Chen's own.

In the process of perfecting the "Huan Yu Secret Canon," he constantly compared himself and verified what he had learned.

Unknowingly, he had actually understood a set of Core Formation methods.

The so-called Core Formation is the cultivator's scattered soul, turning from yin to yang, condensing the Purple Mansion Nascent Soul.

Before the Nascent Soul, the cultivator's soul is naturally afraid of thunder, rain, dew, evil spirits, and gale winds; this can be called a yin-deficient state.

Even if one dies, the chance of reincarnation and re-cultivation is very small.

Only after the Nascent Soul, having experienced the test of heaven and earth thunder, the three flowers gathering at the top, and the five qi returning to the origin, can the soul be revealed outside, escaping a thousand miles.

Therefore, some people call Nascent Soul cultivators "inside and outside as one," returning to yang and becoming true, gaining yang reality, also known as True Persons.

Luo Chen sighed: "After this sudden enlightenment, although there was a reckless act that almost caused a big mistake, I also gained a lot. At least, I have a little more preparation for future Core Formation."

Cultivator Core Formation is actually not much different from daily cultivation needs.

It's just those four words: "Wealth, Companion, Method, Land."

Wealth can be external resources, such as Core Formation elixirs and other auxiliary items.

Companion is the Dao companion; with Senior Han Zhan by his side to guide him, Luo Chen can take fewer detours.

Now, he has understood another Core Formation method!

As long as the essence, energy, and spirit are perfect in the future, he can try the three flowers gathering at the top and glimpse that Nascent Soul realm!

As for the spiritual land?

Let's talk about that later; it's not something the current Luo Chen can delusionally think about.

With his mind set, Luo Chen dispersed his distracting thoughts and took the Yang-Returning Elixir.

He had to adjust his current state as soon as possible so as not to affect the subsequent actions.

In addition, Fu Fu Chaosheng's show of goodwill, he couldn't pretend nothing happened; at least a visit was necessary.

As for whether the other party would see him, that was the other party's business.

The necessary surface work still had to be done.

If possible, doing something to repay the favor of the elixir would be even better.

With these thoughts, Luo Chen went into a short seclusion again.

The wooden house in the valley was tightly closed, and the large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy that had been extracted earlier began to gather toward him.

Just as Fu Fu Chaosheng said.

Once Luo Chen survived this, he would inevitably turn misfortune into a blessing, and his own cultivation might even increase a bit.

(End of chapter)

That special pressure suddenly dissipated.
