Chapter 570 - 254: Core Formation
Chapter 570 - 254: Core Formation
"Fake Pill Realm!"
Upon hearing Ling Cang’s words, everyone’s gaze swiftly fell upon Chu Ning.
With the cultivation levels of those present, they naturally couldn’t discern whether Chu Ning had reached the Fake Pill Realm.
However, everyone understood what this realm signified.
It was equivalent to having one foot in the Golden Core Realm.
Hearing this, Chu Ning simply smiled slightly.
Judging by his cultivation of the Flame Divine Wood Technique to perfection, he was indeed at the Fake Pill Realm at this moment.
This meant that his magical power couldn’t improve further, and he could only cultivate his divine sense and adjust his body’s state to prepare for future Core Formation.
This period could be as short as one or two years or as long as several decades, even over a hundred years.
Some cultivators are stuck in this realm for life.
It varies from person to person.
However, for Chu Ning, after switching to the Five Elements Chaos Technique, his magical power had undergone transformation and refinement, allowing further improvement.
In a sense, Chu Ning couldn’t be equated with the traditional meaning of the Fake Pill Realm.
Of course, Chu Ning didn’t go out of his way to explain.
After all, he still needed some time to cultivate in this state.
He wasn’t sure how long it would take to complete the transformation and refinement of his magical power.
Calling it the Fake Pill Realm wasn’t wrong.
At this moment, He Yanmao was just finishing refining pills on the Alchemy Platform and was also greatly surprised to hear this.
He then sighed and remarked:
"Senior Brother Chu entered the Foundation Establishment Late Stage twenty years later than I did, yet he reached the Fake Pill Realm so quickly.
It seems forming a Golden Core won’t take much longer."
Chu Ning shook his head at this and said:
"It’s not that simple; many people are stuck in this realm for life."
Ling Cang nodded and said, "Indeed, forming a Golden Core requires one’s essence, qi, and spirit to be at their best, and it also depends on chance."
Speaking of which, Ling Cang asked Chu Ning,
"What are your plans for this period?"
Chu Ning then explained his intentions.
"I came to the Alchemy Pavilion this time to refine a batch of elixirs, and afterward, I plan to continue in secluded cultivation for some time."
"Alchemy? Secluded cultivation?"
Ling Cang glanced at Chu Ning but ultimately said nothing more, nodding slightly.
Then he said to Chu Ning,
"Well, then just refine it here in the venue, allowing all the disciples to observe."
Chu Ning didn’t refuse. After agreeing, he asked the person in charge of spirit medicines in the pavilion to fetch some for him.
He then went onto the Alchemy Platform and began refining furnace after furnace of elixirs.
Although Ling Cang was quite curious about why Chu Ning was refining Earth Attribute Spiritual Pills, he didn’t inquire further.
After witnessing Chu Ning refine several batches of pills, Ling Cang couldn’t help but be impressed.
"Chu Ning’s understanding and comprehension of alchemy far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators. Once he forms a Golden Core, even I might not compare."
Thinking about how Chu Ning had already entered the Fake Pill Realm, Ling Cang smiled slightly to himself.
He vaguely suspected that this day wouldn’t be too far away.
Chu Ning, amidst the observation of everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion, refined several batches of pills and exchanged some alchemy techniques with them.
This round of alchemy exchange at the Alchemy Pavilion was thus concluded.
Initially, Chu Ning intended to leave directly, but after thinking for a moment, he headed upstairs to collect a batch of spirit medicines, then returned to the alchemy room.
Over the years, Chu Ning’s research on elixirs naturally extended beyond just this Earth Attribute Elixir.
Based on the cultivation characteristics of the Five Elements Chaos Technique, Chu Ning spent a whole year developing a Wood-Fire-Earth Three Attribute Spiritual Pill, building on the foundation of the Twin Pill.
Since he was already at the Alchemy Pavilion, he seized the opportunity to refine the pill since he had the materials.
After spending three days in the Alchemy Pavilion, Chu Ning finally succeeded in refining both types of pills.
Leaving the alchemy room, Chu Ning prepared to exit the Alchemy Pavilion.
At this moment, Su Yuqing approached, smiling: "Senior Brother Chu, have you been in secluded cultivation for too long lately?
I ran into Rongrong outside, and she mentioned that you previously asked the Artifact Refining Pavilion to help collect some materials.
They’ve had them ready for nearly two months, yet you haven’t gone to pick them up."
"Oh, I haven’t been there in some time. The materials aren’t that urgent," Chu Ning replied casually.
In the past couple of months, he first focused on cultivating the Flame Divine Wood Technique to perfection.
Now he was considering switching to the Five Elements Chaos Technique to complete the conversion of his magical power quickly.
The artifact refining matter was temporarily set aside.
After listening, Su Yuqing nodded, and they exchanged a few casual words.
Chu Ning didn’t linger long and soon left with the pills.
Watching Chu Ning’s departing figure, Su Yuqing blinked lightly, showing admiration.
"People say I have a calm temperament suitable for cultivation, but compared to Senior Brother Chu, I still fall short.
Senior Brother Chu is talented yet has managed to engage in relentless hard cultivation for ten consecutive years.
Since returning from the Hong Lake Entrance, he hasn’t gone out even once."
It is precisely because of her naturally calm disposition that Su Yuqing understands how difficult this is to achieve.
"Tao-seeking heart!"
Su Yuqing softly murmured these four characters, feeling a sense of wonder.
While Su Yuqing was reflecting on this, Chu Ning had already returned to his cave mansion.
He then delved directly into the cultivation room.
For the next few months, Chu Ning spent most of his time secluded within his cave mansion, not stepping outside.
Continuing the pattern of taking a pill every few days, he diligently completed the conversion and refinement of his magical power.
However, unlike the previous month when he solely focused on the Five Elements Chaos Technique, Chu Ning continued to cultivate both the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique and the Refining Spirit Technique during this time.
