Beast-Taming Cultiva Chapter 217 : The Method of the Artifact-Pill

Chapter 217: The thod of the Artifact-Pill

“Congratulations on establishing your Foundation, junior brother. Master has always been generous to his disciples.” Yun Yishu said softly, “A newly advanced Foundation Establishnt cultivator may ask Master to personally forge a Third-Tier magical treasure tailored to him.”

Hearing this, Chen Beiwu was slightly surprised.

A Third-Tier magical treasure was a weapon exclusive to Golden Core True Persons. Even though their Master was a renowned Third-Tier Upper-Grade Artifact Refiner of the Earth Proliferation Territory, forging such a treasure still required trendous ti.

Putting himself in the sa position, if Chen Beiwu were to take disciples in the future, he would never waste so much cultivation ti crafting a treasure for them. The gains simply could not make up for the losses.

“The cost of materials for refining the treasure must be borne by yourself.” Yun Yishu reminded him, “Before condensing your Core, you should collect so Third-Tier precious ores. If you are lucky enough to obtain a Fourth-Tier Profound Ore, with Master’s mastery in artifact refinent, forging an Upper-Grade Third-Tier treasure would be nearly guaranteed.”

“So that’s how it is. Unfortunately, I don’t have any suitable Third-Tier ores on hand right now.” Chen Beiwu’s eyes lit up slightly.

Though the Immortal Alliance’s Third-Tier magical treasures far surpassed those of the Southern Wastes, they also had one drawback—overly complicated procedures and extrely long waiting lists.

This was because the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance advocated conserving cultivation ore resources, even developing a secret art called Companion Beast Transformation to substitute for the true life-bound treasure.

It was no exaggeration to say that, after adding together the long approval process for purchasing ores and the ti required for refinent, Golden Core True Persons who bought a Third-Tier magical treasure through the Immortal Alliance Official Website often waited at least ten years.

So Golden Core True Persons even had to wait a century to receive a custom-tailored Third-Tier treasure.

Over ti, many Golden Core cultivators of the Immortal Alliance preferred to comprehend the secret art of Companion Beast Transformation rather than go through such cumberso procedures to buy a treasure, with the exception of those whose status and rank were truly exalted.

“No rush. Junior brother can take it slowly. As long as you gather the ores before forming your Core, it will be fine.” Yun Yishu smiled.

Chen Beiwu, perceiving the hidden aning, humbly asked why it was necessary to prepare Third-Tier ores before Core Formation.

“Master possesses a secret thod for Core Formation, called the Town-Dao Slting Furnace Artifact-Pill thod. It can harness the power of a Third-Tier life-bound treasure to forcibly condense a strand of Undying tal during Core Formation, increasing the probability of success by twenty percent.”

“And if used together with an Upper-Grade Third-Tier pill, the Golden Palace Pill, the success rate can be raised to fifty percent.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu was imdiately intrigued.

The Immortal Alliance had no shortage of ordinary Core Formation thods and insights, but he had never heard of one that condensed Undying tal by relying on a life-bound treasure.

After all, the reason Foundation Establishnt cultivators refined their mana with Earthly Sha Qi was to seize a trace of Undying tal from the essence of innate earth veins, so that their mana would beco unified and gain a trace of immortality.

In such circumstances, no Foundation Establishnt cultivator would ever find having more Undying tal a bad thing. On the contrary, they would only worry that the amount they condensed was too little.

What’s more, Chen Beiwu possessed a Flawless Dao Foundation. For him to succeed in forming a Core in the future, he would need to condense even more Undying tal in order to achieve a First-Grade Golden Core—the supre Golden Core of titles.

“Senior sister, how may I obtain this Town-Dao Slting Furnace Artifact-Pill thod? Must it be exchanged with contribution points?” Chen Beiwu asked impatiently.

Seeing his reaction, Yun Yishu was unsurprised.

When she first learned of this secret thod, her own response had been no different from her junior brother’s—unable to suppress her excitent.

“There is no need for contribution points. According to sect tradition, once you have gathered enough ores to forge a Third-Tier treasure, Master will bestow this Core Formation secret art upon you.”

With that, Yun Yishu retrieved a jade slip from her storage ring and crushed it. “Now, I will report your advancent to Foundation Establishnt to Master.”

“Boom!”

At the mont the jade slip shattered, an infinite divine sense manifested, vast and boundless like the descent of the Great Sun.

Things were different now.

Facing the divine sense incarnation of a Golden Core cultivator, Chen Beiwu was already able to remain calm and composed.

Unlike before, when he could not move a muscle, unable even to control his own breathing.

“Greetings, Master.”

Chen Beiwu and Senior Sister Yun bowed to the two-zhang-tall projection.

“No need for formalities.”

Zhu Shaoyuan, clad in a dark-black Daoist robe, looked at Chen Beiwu with a trace of warmth and curiosity, without the slightest air of superiority.

The reason was simple—Chen Zi’ang had reached Foundation Establishnt at the extraordinary age of twenty, and his cultivation had already reached mid-stage Foundation Establishnt. The weight of this achievent was imnse.

Had it been another cultivator with limited potential at the sa level, Zhu Shaoyuan would not even have given him a second glance.

Such weak Foundation Establishnt cultivators didn’t even require his true body to act—rely his divine sense incarnation could easily crush them with a flick.

But Chen Zi’ang was different.

In just a few years, he had cultivated the Seven Revolutions of the Great Cycle Qi Refining and advanced to mid-stage Foundation Establishnt. Regardless of what secrets he carried, his future was boundless.

In ti, he could completely beco a Golden Core elder of the Mirror Moon Sect, standing as Zhu Shaoyuan’s equal. He even had the chance, like waves of the Yangtze pushing forward, to surpass his master and beco a Nascent Soul True Monarch renowned across the Earth Proliferation Territory.

‘To speak frankly, this Chen Zi’ang’s appearance, temperant, cultivation, and talent are all outstanding. Thinking about it carefully, he may even be a match for my daughter. Perhaps a fine marriage could be arranged.’ Zhu Shaoyuan mused inwardly.

Chen Beiwu kept a composed expression, calmly enduring his master’s scrutiny.

“These years I have been patrolling the sect’s lands, unable to personally guide you.” Zhu Shaoyuan’s eyes shone with appreciation as he said bluntly, “Even so, you have advanced swiftly. Clearly, you harbor many secrets.”

Seeing Chen Zi’ang’s expression change, Zhu Shaoyuan waved his hand casually and said lightly, “No need to explain. Whether you are the reincarnation of a True Monarch, born with extraordinary talent, or carrying so hidden inheritance, I have no desire to pry. I only care about your loyalty to the sect.”

“Without the Mirror Moon Sect, this disciple would not be who I am today.” Chen Beiwu said sincerely.

Personal effort was important, but the platform’s support was indispensable.

Had he not entered the Mirror Moon Sect, but instead chosen to play it safe as one of the Five Scatter-Cultivators of the Southern Wastes, then after the Immortal Exam he would likely have ended up like Xu Ziqing—joining the Seven-Nine Upper Sects, not the Upper Three Immortal Sects. He would never have attained Flawless Qi Refining and Foundation Establishnt.

“Very good.” Zhu Shaoyuan nodded.

With his insight, it was clear that Chen Zi’ang was not lying, but speaking from the heart.

Nor did Zhu Shaoyuan intend to deceive his disciple. He truly had no designs on Chen Zi’ang’s secrets, let alone covetous thoughts.

Because it was not worth it.

First, seizing a disciple’s fortune violated his own cultivation principles. Even if he succeeded, that fortune might not benefit him.

Second, Chen Zi’ang’s divine sense was advancing at an alarming rate—so fast that Zhu Shaoyuan himself felt wary.

When they first t, Zhu Shaoyuan had thought Chen Zi’ang a promising youth with decent divine sense and ntal aptitude, worth cultivating.

But at this eting, Zhu Shaoyuan was shocked to find Chen Zi’ang’s divine sense was only a step behind his own, comparable to a Golden Core True Person’s.

What did this an?

Recalling ancient records, Zhu Shaoyuan suspected that Chen Zi’ang might very well be a Nascent Soul True Monarch, or even a Divine Transformation Venerable reborn with past wisdom intact.
