Chapter 463: A Golden Core's Fame Spreads, Rising Like a Dragon Amidst the Storm

"From the Five Elements Divine Sect, Jin Buque presents the Five Elements Divine Pill, congratulating Fellow Daoist Luo Chen!"

The resounding voice rippled through the air like a surging tide.

At that moment, everyone within and outside the Luo Tian Sect fell silent.

Then, an uproar erupted.

The Five Elements Divine Sect!

The overlord of the Five Elements Domain!

Although they didn't monopolize the domain like the Medicine King Sect or Heaven Sail City, where the entire domain was under their control, within the Five Elements Domain, numerous large and small sects were affiliated with the Five Elements Divine Sect, either as absolute vassals following their commands or having their founding ancestors from the Five Elements Divine Sect.

The unique internal environment of the Five Elements Divine Sect played a significant role in this.

Within the sect, disciples from top to bottom were keen on researching various divine techniques and secret methods, leading to the frequent emergence of novel cultivation arts.

Those with differing ideologies or nearing the end of their lifespan would choose to leave the sect, establishing their families or small sects outside.

Over time, the Five Elements Divine Sect, while not monopolizing a domain, had unparalleled control and development of their territory, even surpassing Heaven Sail City and the Medicine King Sect.

In the past, among the six eastern domains, if the Medicine King Sect was the wealthiest and the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect was the strongest in combat, known as invincible among their peers, then the Five Elements Divine Sect was undoubtedly the sect with the deepest foundation.

Such a colossal power had sent a Core Formation Stage Elder to congratulate the Luo Tian Sect, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Not to mention the commotion outside the mountain, even at the grand ceremony, the esteemed guests present all stood up in surprise, discussing the matter animatedly.

The Absolute Emotion Fairy, who was in conversation with Fei Ming, was among the first to turn her head towards the elder Jin Buque, who had just entered the Crimson Dusk Hall.

Her expression was filled with astonishment and uncertainty, her thoughts in turmoil.

Fei Ming sighed softly, "In the past, Luo Chen's reputation was limited within the Jade Cauldron Domain, but now that he's formed his core, he has directly caught the attention of the Supreme Sects beyond the domains. This is just like the saying, 'A golden carp is not meant for a pond, and amidst the storm, it transforms into a dragon!'"

Upon hearing these words, the Absolute Emotion Fairy's heart skipped a beat.

She spoke with a bitter tone, "It's this war that has accelerated his rise to fame."

Indeed!

If it weren't for the ongoing war, which had gathered powerful cultivators from multiple domains in this small domain, Luo Chen's fame and abilities, no matter how great, would not have risen so rapidly.

Fei Ming shook his head, "Even without the war, given a hundred or two hundred years, he would still become a renowned figure in the Eastern Wilderness."

The Absolute Emotion Fairy couldn't refute this.

Luo Chen, a Loose Cultivator, had become the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Jade Cauldron Domain and the top alchemy master among the younger generation. His talent, temperament, and perseverance destined him to shine brilliantly.

Moreover!

He was still so young!

Especially without the backing of a sect, his past was relatively unremarkable.

Such a person, if encountered by any Nascent Soul Supreme Sect, would be heavily courted.

Today, they had just happened to be present to offer their congratulations.

Perhaps in the future, they would offer even more favorable conditions to win Luo Chen over.

With this, how much of the connection that the Ice Fortress had painstakingly established with him would remain?

"I just hope that he won't go back on his words to me!"

The Absolute Emotion Fairy muttered to herself, unconsciously lowering her expectations.

Perhaps even if Luo Chen broke his promise, she wouldn't, and wouldn't dare, resent him too much.

On the other side,

Surrounded by numerous Core Formation cultivators, the center of attention, Tao Wan's expression also changed dramatically.

The Luoyun Sect's visit was expected.

Earlier, there were rumors within the Luoyun Sect that Master Han Zhan had taken a liking to Luo Chen and favored him greatly.

Additionally, a high-ranking member of the Luo Tian Sect had a child who was a true disciple of the Luoyun Sect, creating a connection between the two sects.

Therefore, it wasn't surprising that Qu Xiabai sent a congratulatory gift.

What was slightly surprising was the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. They had also sent representatives, albeit with a somewhat intimidating aura.

However, this was both unexpected and reasonable.

The Sword Sect had just taken over the Heavenly Wave Immortal City, and as the closest Core Formation power, it was natural for them to send someone to establish a connection.

Even if it wasn't to court Luo Chen, a simple introduction and acknowledgment were necessary.

But for the Five Elements Divine Sect, such a colossal power, to come uninvited was truly unexpected.

Tao Wan couldn't help but recall the instructions given by Elder Qingdanzi before their departure.

Her heart felt heavy at this moment.

"I just hope that the Five Elements Divine Sect is here to offer congratulations and won't make any attempts to recruit Luo Chen. Otherwise, the major matters of Green Pill Valley will face immense difficulties."

...

In the hall, countless people had their own thoughts and reactions.

Previously, the Foundation Establishment Stage forces that had been on good terms with the Luo Tian Sect were already overwhelmed by the arrival of numerous Golden Core experts.

And when the Luoyun Sect and Jade Cauldron Sword Sect arrived, they were even more astounded.

Now, even the Five Elements Divine Sect has come!

They were completely numb.

Only Fu Jiusheng, after the initial shock, maintained a sense of composure as if it were only natural.

"This is the kind of influence that a renowned Loose Cultivator and pill-refining master should possess!"

If it were a Foundation Establishment Stage pill-refining master, they would only have potential.

Limited by their cultivation realm, they couldn't refine high-tier pills.

Restricted by their lifespan, even a hundred or two hundred years wouldn't be of much use to top-tier sects, so they wouldn't go out of their way to recruit them.

But a Core Formation Stage pill-refining master was different!

With lifespans of four to five hundred years, they could steadily refine Tier 3 pills, which would greatly benefit Nascent Soul Supreme Sects.

If they possessed exceptional pill-refining talents, they might even be able to refine Tier 4 pills.

That's the kind of thing that Nascent Soul cultivators would drool over! Who wouldn't pay attention to such a person?

It could be said that as long as Luo Chen didn't actively seek death, his future was completely foreseeable.

He would have connections on both sides, and his network would be vast.

Lower-tier cultivators would curry favor, Great Sects' Golden Core cultivators would run errands for him, and Nascent Soul Supreme Sects would treat him with courtesy.

In the entire Eastern Wilderness cultivation world, Luo Chen could almost walk sideways.

"Fortunately, fortunately!"

Unnoticed by others, Fu Jiusheng wiped away a cold sweat.

Fortunately, before this, he had made repeated efforts to mend his relationship with Luo Chen.

Otherwise!

If Luo Chen showed even a hint of dislike towards him, there would be plenty of people who would intentionally cause him trouble, just to curry favor with Luo Chen.

Just thinking about that scene made him shudder.

...

Under the gaze of countless onlookers, Luo Chen straightened his clothes and took a step forward.

"Master Hong Ling, Luo Chen pays his respects."

"Master Jin, you've traveled far to celebrate with me, it's my honor."

Two greetings, one after the other.

The first greeting was actually from Master Hong Ling, who had previously arrived in a fierce and unfriendly manner.

This scene left everyone in shock.

Even the female cultivator, Master Hong Ling, was surprised.

She frowned, and even though she had some resentment in her heart, it wasn't a good time to get angry.

It's better to extend a hand of friendship than to strike a smiling face, especially since today was Luo Chen's celebration.

So, she could only respond with a sound of acknowledgment.

Seeing her backing down and suppressing her hidden anger, Qu Xiabai, standing beside her, couldn't help but look at Luo Chen with newfound respect.

Good lad!

Not only was he skilled in pill refining and combat, but he also possessed exceptional social skills, which was unexpected.

He didn't intentionally snub Master Hong Ling due to her attitude; instead, he gave her enough face.

And upon further reflection, his actions were indeed the most correct.

Because Master Hong Ling represented the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect and was the lord of the Jade Cauldron Domain!

If Luo Chen and his Luo Tian Sect wanted to continue operating in the Jade Cauldron Domain, they couldn't afford to offend the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

Jin Bubuqian was initially startled, but upon noticing Master Hong Ling's change in demeanor, he quickly understood.

He gave Luo Chen an appreciative look and then took out his congratulatory gift.

Following Luo Chen's words, he continued with a smile, "It's not really that far."

"Moreover, with your exceptional Golden Core formation and limitless future prospects, how could I not make a special effort to establish a connection with you?"

These words put Luo Chen in an awkward position.

You're a Golden Core cultivator of a Great Sect, even if you have high hopes for me, there's no need to humble yourself like this! What happened to the innate arrogance of sect cultivators?

He forced a smile and accepted the gift.

"The Five Elements Divine Pill?"

"Yes! Although this pill is Tier 3, its medicinal power is no less than that of a Tier 4 pill. Especially, it doesn't restrict the cultivator's spiritual root type and can perfectly match those with any of the Five Elements spiritual roots. I heard that you possess the Five Elements spiritual roots, so this pill is tailor-made for you!"

Luo Chen was taken aback by these words.

Especially when he heard the description, he subconsciously tightened his grip on the brocade box.

Unrestricted pills were extremely rare in the cultivation world.

Most of the pills he had refined before had limitations.

The Jade Dew Pill was limited to female cultivators, the Dust Descending Pill was for those with robust qi and blood, and the Tier 3 Dark Essence Pill required powerful spiritual power and could only be used during boundary-breaking.

If the Five Elements Divine Pill was as Jin Bubuqian described, it could indeed be called a "Divine Pill."

At the very least, among Tier 3 pills, it was an absolute divine-grade pill!

Seeing Luo Chen's seriousness, a smile appeared on Jin Bubuqian's face.

Luo Chen put aside his emotions and invited everyone to take their seats.

He himself ascended to the main seat.

Sima Hui Niang and Gu Caiyi sat gracefully on either side behind him, one exuding a dignified aura and the other captivatingly beautiful, yet neither stealing his thunder, instead serving as exquisite embellishments.

As he took his seat, it signaled the official commencement of the grand ceremony.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had been scattered around, engaging in conversations with others, now followed the guidance of the Luo Tian Sect's Foundation Establishment Cultivators and took their seats one by one.

Luo Chen looked down upon the white jade square, filled with celebrants, each with their own thoughts and motives. But at this moment, Luo Chen's heart was filled with a sense of pride and satisfaction.

After years of hardship, he had finally made it! Three Nascent Soul Supreme Sects, three Golden Core Great Sects, and numerous other influential figures from first-rate powers or large Cultivation families had all come to congratulate him.

These guests were not invited due to the influence of any high-ranking sect, but were here solely because of his own achievements.

"There are probably few people in this world like me," he thought to himself.

Just as he was feeling emotional and preparing his opening speech, two more dazzling streaks of light appeared in the distance, piercing through the sky.

"Huh?"

"Is that Elder Ye?"

Those with extensive knowledge instantly recognized one of the owners of the streaks of light.

Everyone's curiosity turned towards Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was also taken aback, wondering who else could be arriving.

The next moment, a voice spoke.

"Elder Ye Xiang of the Divine Talisman Sect, passing by your esteemed land, has come to ask for a cup of wine. I hope you don't mind, fellow Daoist!"

Luo Chen immediately stood up, suppressing his doubts.

"How could I mind? I'm delighted to have you here. Please, arrange a seat for the fellow Daoist!"

The streaks of light faded, revealing an elder accompanied by a man and two women, all Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

However, the first thing that caught Luo Chen's attention was not the elder, but the two women.

Gu Caiyi, sitting beside him, exclaimed softly.

"It's Sister Xiu Xiu!"

Luo Chen also immediately recognized the serene female cultivator.

It was none other than Fu Xiuxiu, his neighbor from the Four-Courtyard Mansion in the Grand River Market!

But that's not all!

The other charming woman next to her winked at Luo Chen.

Her playful expression gave Luo Chen a strong sense of familiarity.

It was clear that she knew him, but for a moment, Luo Chen couldn't recall her identity.

"Could it be Shuyi?" he wondered.

Suddenly, Luo Chen remembered Elder Chen, who had a granddaughter named Chen Shuyi. She had returned to the Divine Talisman Domain with the Divine Talisman Sect's caravan.

Considering the time, if she had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, her appearance would have changed to resemble the woman before him.

However, now was not the time for catching up.

Luo Chen turned his attention to the owner of the other streak of light.

"It's been a long time, Fellow Daoist Feng Yue," he greeted.

The visitor was none other than Feng Yue Immortal, the master of the Cauldron Institute of Feng Hua Palace!

Feng Yue Immortal nodded at Luo Chen.

"I apologize for the intrusion, but I have brought a small gift to congratulate you on your Core Formation success!"

After presenting the gift, she was escorted to a seat by the Luo Tian Sect cultivators.

During this process, the nearby cultivators remained silent, completely absorbed in the proceedings.

No one had expected that after the three Nascent Soul Supreme Sects, there would be two more guests from Supreme Sects.

The scale of this celebration was almost beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

Even Tao Wan, the leader of a great sect, felt a sense of awe.

When she had held her Core Formation ceremony, only three Nascent Soul Supreme Sects had come to congratulate her.

The grandeur of Luo Chen's celebration was usually reserved for the Core Formation of sect heirs from Supreme Sects.

No, not even they could achieve such a feat.

They relied solely on the prestige of their sects.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, had attracted so many powerful beings solely through his own efforts! If news of this celebration spread across the nearby domains, Luo Chen's reputation and status would become incredibly illustrious, beyond imagination!

Luo Chen was well aware of the unusual atmosphere in the hall, and he himself had not anticipated the arrival of guests from the Five Elements Divine Sect, the Divine Talisman Sect, and Feng Hua Palace.

It caught him off guard.

However, having faced life-and-death situations countless times, and with today being his special day, he couldn't afford to show any signs of weakness.

After years of cultivating the Divine Brightness Slaying Evil and Calming the Storm, his ability to adjust his mindset had reached an extremely high level.

In an instant, he revealed a bright smile.

"The presence of all these esteemed guests at Danxia today truly brings me great honor."

"Please accept this cup of wine as a token of my gratitude."

As he raised his cup, the guests below followed suit.

Then, they all drank in one gulp!
