Chapter 462: The Core Formation Ceremony! (Part 2)

"

"Haha, if that day comes, you must come to Danxia Peak and bow to Senior Dan Dust Master!"

"That is a must, I, Li Qiang, am not an ungrateful person."

"Tsk tsk, Senior Luo Chen is so generous to wandering cultivators. If we join the Luo Tian Sect, won't he pour out all his knowledge?"

"Hey, that's not far from the truth. Even if he doesn't pour out everything, Senior Luo has a broad-minded nature and enjoys nurturing the younger generation. Who doesn't know this?"

"I can vouch for this. Among the twenty-five Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Luo Tian Sect, most, except for a few from outside, have advanced within the sect. Most forces aren't as generous, providing so many Foundation Establishment resources."

"What a pity. If I had come to Heavenly Wave Immortal City and joined the Luo Tian Sect earlier, I might be the twenty-sixth Foundation Establishment Cultivator now."

...

Amidst the noisy discussions.

Huan'er, her face flushed, tugged at Qin Yuanding’s sleeve.

"Your uncle, not only is he famous, but his reputation is so good!"

Qin Yuanding was also somewhat excited.

He thought of his mother, who, even when she left, received a generous gift from Luo Chen.

He couldn't help but praise, "Uncle Luo is indeed very generous!"

Huan'er, listening to the praises around her and watching the continuous streams of light ascending Danxia Peak, was eager.

"I really want to see what kind of demeanor Uncle Luo, who is so highly praised, has."

Qin Yuanding smiled and pinched her hand.

"Don't rush. These are just the Foundation Establishment guests. The Golden Core guests will come next. As the Luoyun Sect, a Nascent Soul Supreme Sect, Uncle Qu still needs to pay attention to the order of appearance."

Huan'er nodded.

Some rules, though not explicitly stated, are unwritten rules.

Weaker forces generally appear first.

Stronger ones appear later.

This way, the weaker ones won't be neglected, and the stronger ones won't be overshadowed.

Unless they have a close relationship and appear earlier to support the host!

The next group to announce their arrival was such an existence.

"The Absolute Emotion Fairy of the Ice Fortress, presents two bottles of Ice Soul Essence, in celebration of Venerable Luo Chen!"

Ice Soul Essence, a fourth-stage material, can be used in alchemy or as an offensive tool.

To send two bottles at once! The Ice Fortress truly lives up to being the former main house of the Luo Tian Sect, truly generous!

After the Ice Fortress.

Ailaoshan and Green Pill Valley also arrived.

Especially Green Pill Valley, where the sect’s leader, Master Tao Wan, came in person!

Such a high regard for Luo Chen was truly astonishing.

However, when someone pointed out that sixty years ago, Tao Wan was able to outshine her fellow disciples and secure the position of Dao Disciple due to Luo Chen’s significant help, everything made sense.

Outside Danxia Peak, strong streams of light began to appear, one after another, flying into the mountain.

"The Fifth Clan Leader of the Fifth Family of the Feng Hua Domain, Wufu Qi, presents a piece of Celestial Meteor Iron, in celebration of Venerable Luo Chen!"

As soon as this name was mentioned, it caused a stir.

Wufu Qi, a well-known Golden Core Cultivator in the Feng Hua Domain.

Previously, he and another Golden Core Venerable dominated the Incense Valley of the Flame Alliance, establishing a force called Wind and Rain Manor.

In recent years, many powerful cultivators from the Feng Hua Palace have been staying at Wind and Rain Manor, indicating they have the Feng Hua Palace as their backing!

Who would have thought he would come as well.

"Divine Rune Domain's Cen Qiuzi, presents a thousand-year-old Spirit Herb, as a gift for Elder Luo Chen!"

Yet another Golden Core Cultivator from an external realm!

No, it was far more than that.

One after another, several more Golden Core Cultivators from external realms appeared.

By the end, even some Golden Core Venerables were unknown to the low-level wandering cultivators of Heavenwave Immortal City.

Take, for example, the Golden Core Venerable named Fu Jiusheng; many had never heard of this person.

But when he made his move, he was extremely generous, directly offering a complete Tier 3 Alchemy formula, immediately causing an uproar.

It was common knowledge that the Elder of the Luo Tian Alliance, Luo Chen, had the dual title of Dan Chenzi, one of the two Dao names.

Obtaining this Alchemy formula was like adding wings to a tiger!

No one had expected that so many Golden Core Cultivators from external families and wandering cultivators would come to congratulate Luo Chen on his Core Formation.

This was also the first time people truly realized how prestigious a successful Alchemy master could be in the Cultivation world.

He didn't even need to actively go out and establish connections.

Naturally, people would come to him, intentionally seeking to form good relations.

And this was just the beginning, he had just successfully formed his Core.

If he were to continue managing for a few hundred years, wouldn't Foundation Establishment disciples be everywhere, with countless Golden Core friends, and even the Nascent Soul Supreme Sect would invite him as an honored guest?

Speaking of the Nascent Soul Supreme Sect.

The Nascent Soul Supreme Sect was here!

In the crowd.

Qin Yuanding and Huan'er's hearts stirred, and they exchanged a glance, then leaped out of the crowd and flew into the sky.

A powerful and majestic escape light with overwhelming spiritual power came from Heavenwave.

With a sweep, it picked up the two of them and headed straight for Danxia Peak.

Soon.

Inside Danxia Peak, the spirited singing of the ritual echoed through the clouds.

"Luoyun Sect's Elder Qu, presents a Tier 3 Puppet, as a gift for Elder Luo Chen!"

In an instant, outside Danxia, there was a moment of silence.

...

Thanks to Fei Ming's pursuit of a hundred-year-old Thunder Ying from Luo Chen's hands, Danxia Peak had been rebuilt.

Therefore, the venue for today's Core Formation ceremony was still spacious enough.

From the Luo Tian Main Hall, the ground was paved with white jade, the steps with gold, and the carvings of dragons and phoenixes adorned the eaves. Mist rose, and colorful clouds surrounded the area, giving it a fairy-like atmosphere.

Several charming maidservants walked around, offering fruits, tea, and wine.

All the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Luo Tian Alliance had returned to the mountain, enthusiastically hosting the respected guests.

Luo Chen was not shy and had appeared early.

After all, although he was the protagonist today, the powers behind those guests were not to be offended easily.

Simple meetings with former Foundation Establishment allies, accepting congratulations.

Conversations with the Golden Core Venerables they once looked up to.

If there were familiar people, they would talk a little more.

During this process, Sima Hui Niang and Gu Caiyi stayed by his side.

Or perhaps, someone had already noticed that their attire today had already explained everything.

The two women wore phoenix crowns and silk robes, with a red belt over their upper and lower garments, and tinkling jade pendants. It was clear that they were dressed for a wedding.

Luo Chen wore a red robe with golden-edged dragon patterns engraved on it, golden cloud-woven shoes on his feet, a white jade belt around his waist, and a bright golden crown on his head.

Together with the two women, they formed a perfect match, like a dragon and phoenix bringing good fortune.

The Elder of Ailaoshan, Fei Ming, had just arrived and shook his head with a smile when he saw the three of them, "Dan Chenzi, you've really lost out!"

Luo Chen was puzzled, "Lost out in what way?"

Fei Ming pointed to the gift he had just sent out, "I originally planned to only attend your Core Formation ceremony, but I didn't expect you to combine the establishment of your sect, the Dao companion ceremony, and your Core Formation into one event. As a result, I should have sent three generous gifts, but now I've only sent one. Don't you think you've lost out? If it were just me, it would be fine, but there are so many guests today, haven't you lost out big time?"

Luo Chen was stunned, then burst into laughter.

Fei Ming, this old man who always put personal gain first, also laughed heartily.

After that, Luo Chen introduced the two women to Fei Ming, specifically mentioning Sima Hui Niang's identity as the Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect and Gu Caiyi's identity as the Hall Master.

"I know that, or perhaps I should say that everyone in the Jade Cauldron Domain knows that you, Dan Chenzi, have two red-robed confidantes."

Luo Chen smiled and waved his hand, "My two wives' Cultivation realms are slightly weaker, so I hope you can take care of them in the future."

"Definitely! Definitely!" Fei Ming clasped his hands and nodded slightly at the two women.

Just as Luo Chen was about to say something more, he saw another escape light approaching from outside the mountain.

"Sorry, it seems like Fellow Tao has arrived, I'll have to excuse myself for a moment."

"No problem, you do as you please, I'll go find Absolute Emotion Fairy to exchange Cultivation insights."

After temporarily parting with Fei Ming.

Luo Chen brought the two women to greet the escape light from outside the mountain.

His disciple, Qu Lingjun, was in charge of guiding them.

"Master, Tao Zhuzhang has arrived."

"Okay, you go ahead!"

As soon as Qu Lingjun left, Luo Chen looked at Tao Wan, whose appearance was even more beautiful than before.

Tao Wan looked at him, seemingly ignoring the two women beside him.

"Congratulations, Fellow Luo."

"Congratulations, Fellow Tao!"

Tao Wan pursed her lips, "When I held my Core Formation ceremony, I didn't see you come to congratulate me in person!"

"If I had gone then, I would have had to call you Senior Tao, and that would have been too distant," Luo Chen laughed.

Tao Wan was taken aback.

Then, the corners of her mouth curled up.

She shook her head and finally looked at the two women behind Luo Chen.

"Let me introduce them properly!"

Luo Chen pointed to the woman on the left, "My wife, Sima Hui Niang, the Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect."

Then he pointed to the woman on the right, "My wife, Gu Caiyi, the Hall Master of the Golden Hall."

The two women were not shy and gracefully bowed to Tao Wan.

Compared to the stingy Fei Ming, Tao Wan was much more generous.

Having already given a Core Formation gift, she took out two more gifts from her storage bag and personally handed them to the two women.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"May you have a harmonious union, and a lifelong bond!"

Fortunately, it wasn't a wish for a hundred years of happiness, otherwise, it would have been a curse.

After the congratulations, Tao Wan put away her smile and looked at Luo Chen.

"I don't know if you have time recently?"

"Hmm? Is there something going on?"

"My Sect's Elder wants to meet you, the appointment is in Qingdan Valley."

"Luochen's thoughts raced, and he was about to inquire when his gaze flickered.

"Sorry, more guests are arriving. Hui Niang, please accompany Tao Daoyou."

He gave a subtle signal, and Sima Hui Niang gracefully approached.

Suddenly, the Grand Elder of Qingdangu Valley invited him, but why? To avoid an unpleasant situation, he decided to send the graceful Hui Niang to find out more.

Tao Wan glanced deeply at Luochen and then took a seat with Sima Hui Niang's company.

On Luochen's side, however, he was caught off guard.

He hadn't anticipated the arrival of these Golden Core Cultivators, who hadn't been invited in advance.

They had arrived uninvited.

Although Luochen was caught off guard, he remained composed and warmly greeted the Golden Core Cultivators from the outer realms, including Wufu Qi.

After all, during the battle at Incense Valley, Wufu Qi and the others had offered their assistance.

Moreover, Luochen had a certain degree of confidence about this matter.

Alchemists, especially renowned Master Alchemists, often had extensive connections and excellent resources! Even during his Foundation Establishment Stage, he had connections with the Ice Fortress and Qingdan Valley, and was highly favored by the Luoyun Sect, a superior sect.

Now that he had reached the Golden Core Stage, it was natural for him to receive even more attention from higher-level cultivators.

Previously, they had only sent invitations, but now they were personally visiting, which wasn't entirely unexpected.

The only surprise for Luochen was Fu Jiusheng! With a flushed face, Fu Jiusheng looked at him with a complex expression, "Congratulations, Daoist friend."

Luochen forced a smile, "Congratulations to you as well!"

It was indeed a mutual celebration.

Out of the five who had ventured into the Great Snow Mountain, only the two of them had survived.

Looking back, there was indeed a reason for their survival.

Like Luochen, Fu Jiusheng had successfully formed his Golden Core! However, Fu Jiusheng's special visit to offer congratulations was somewhat unexpected.

Moreover, he had brought a valuable gift—a third-stage alchemy formula!

"This third-stage alchemy formula is called the Starlight Pill. Although it is complex and costly to refine, and its medicinal power is relatively weak, it is indeed a legitimate third-stage cultivation formula!"

"I hope you won't find it unsatisfactory, Daoist friend."

Luochen's eyebrows rose, "Why would I be dissatisfied? I'm grateful for such a generous gift."

He was indeed grateful.

After forming his Golden Core, he had been troubled by the issue of cultivation pills, even considering simplifying the Dark Essence Pill.

But that was a formula derived from Divine Transformation Period experts, so simplifying it was no easy task!

Now, Fu Jiusheng had unexpectedly presented him with a third-stage alchemy formula, which was like finding a pillow when he needed to sleep. If it weren't for the ongoing ceremony, Luochen would have eagerly examined it.

"I haven't even sent a congratulatory gift for Daoist Fu's Golden Core formation yet."

"That's not necessary." Fu Jiusheng waved his hand.

Luochen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Then, you have a request?"

"No, I have no desires or requests!" Fu Jiusheng paused, speaking earnestly.

Luochen became even more perplexed.

However, when the voices of the Luoyun Sect's congratulatory party reached them, and Fu Jiusheng's expression became more solemn, Luochen realized something.

A smile appeared on his lips, "I understand your intention, and there may be opportunities for collaboration in the future. However, I must excuse myself for a moment. Apologies!"

"Yes, don't worry about me. After forming my Golden Core, I haven't had the chance to exchange cultivation insights with others. With so many fellow cultivators here, I, Fu, have found the perfect opportunity."

Fu Jiusheng displayed great magnanimity.

After Luochen left to greet the Luoyun Sect's visitors, Fu Jiusheng finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Watching Luochen's departing figure, he felt a weight lift from his heart.

It was rumored that Luochen had a gentlemanly demeanor, but he was by no means a naive and stuffy gentleman.

Under his gentle and kind demeanor, he was known for his ruthless approach, vowing to repay grievances in kind. In the Great Snow Mountain, Fu Jiusheng had once attempted to set up a grand formation to ambush Luochen.

Although he had tried to resolve the grudge with a map, after forming his Golden Core, the more he thought about it, the more inappropriate it seemed.

After all, he had intended to put Luochen in a life-threatening situation! Such a deep-rooted grudge couldn't be resolved with just a map, especially if Luochen held a grudge...

Luochen already had the reputation of being the first in the Jade Cauldron Foundation Establishment. His combat power was formidable.

Moreover, he wasn't alone.

The title of Master Alchemist meant that after forming his Golden Core, he would undoubtedly have extensive connections.

If someone intended to target him, Fu Jiusheng would undoubtedly face death, or at least have to leave the East Wasteland.

After much deliberation, Fu Jiusheng chose a time when Luochen wouldn't lose his temper and sent an invaluable gift, hoping to resolve the grudge.

Currently, it seemed that Luochen had let go of the matter and even brought up the possibility of collaboration.

Alchemists and herb gatherers were natural partners.

"As it turns out, my choice was absolutely correct."

Fu Jiusheng looked around, and even though each of the powerful Golden Core Cultivators had restrained their spiritual pressure, the combined aura still made his heart heavy.

Moreover!

Even the Nascent Soul Supreme Sect had sent representatives to offer congratulations personally.

If he couldn't resolve the grudge, he would be seeking his own demise.

"Tsk tsk, it's not just any Nascent Soul Supreme Sect!"

Fu Jiusheng sighed, his gaze drifting beyond Danxia.

A sword light transformed into a rainbow, approaching at an astonishing speed that caught everyone's attention.

The rainbow light bypassed the gift-receiving area and descended directly in front of the Luo Tian Square.

A crisp and sharp shout reverberated within a hundred li.

"Jade Cauldron Hong Ling, here to congratulate Luochen!"

The visitor had ill intentions! Luochen, who was conversing with Qu Xiabai and Qin Yuanding, frowned at the newcomer.

The red-clad woman had a fierce expression.

It seemed more like a quest for revenge than a congratulatory visit.

This woman...

Suddenly, Luochen's heart stirred.

Hong Ling?

Wasn't she the personal disciple of Pang Renxiong? Just as he was about to speak, Qu Xiabai signaled him.

Luochen understood that Qu Xiabai was trying to ease the tension.

However, before Qu Xiabai could open his mouth.

Beyond Danxia, another distinguished guest arrived!

A majestic voice, like thunder and waves, shook everyone's hearts.

"The Five Elements Divine Sect's Jin Bubuqian offers a Wu Xing Divine Pill to congratulate Luochen!"
