280: Chapter 280 Golden Entry Alchemy

Shen Guhong no longer paid attention to the two's restraint. With a light wave of his right hand, a Medicinal Pill that was pure white throughout and emitted a dense Spiritual Qi appeared out of thin air in his palm.

This Medicinal Pill was a High-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

He raised his hand and handed the High-grade Foundation Establishment Pill to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, take this High-grade Foundation Establishment Pill to the Heavenly Sword Sect and give it to Lin Yao."

Wang Cheng was startled, a flicker of doubt crossing his eyes, but he dared not ask more. He hurriedly took the High-grade Foundation Establishment Pill with both hands, carefully placed it into his Storage Pouch, and bowed in response: "Your subordinate obeys!"

Shen Guhong looked at their puzzled expressions but did not explain. He simply waved his hand and said in a flat tone: "Go now. Go and return quickly for this matter, do not delay."

"Yes, Sect Master!" Wang Cheng bowed and withdrew, quickly walking out of the Liuhuo Hall.

Meanwhile, Qin Changsheng, who was far away in the Heavenly Sword Sect's Cave-Heaven Blessed Land, was also somewhat puzzled.

"Why would Shen Guhong give a High-grade Foundation Establishment Pill to Lin Yao?" Qin Changsheng really couldn't figure out what connection there was between Lin Yao and Shen Guhong.

Could this Lin Yao be the Reincarnation of an Empress?

...

Heavenly Sword Sect, back mountain.

As soon as Wang Cheng arrived here, he saw Lin Yao waiting there.

Just as Wang Cheng was about to step forward and inquire, Lin Yao spoke first, her tone carrying a hint of taking it for granted, without the slightest sense of being a stranger: "The High-grade Foundation Establishment Pill my Revered Master had you bring, where is it?"

Qin Changsheng, far away in the small courtyard, was also very bewildered upon hearing this.

He had originally wondered why Shen Guhong would give Lin Yao a High-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

But he never expected that Shen Guhong was actually Lin Yao's Revered Master.

At the same time, he was also very confused as to why Shen Guhong would take Lin Yao as a disciple.

One must know that Shen Guhong was a high-level member of the Yao Race.

And Lin Yao's talent was not particularly outstanding.

Could there be some special secret hidden within Lin Yao?

Or was Shen Guhong's move intended to use Lin Yao to infiltrate the Heavenly Sword Sect and achieve some unspeakable conspiracy?

Countless questions swirled in his mind.

After thinking for a long time, there were still no concrete clues.

"In reply to Miss Lin, the Medicinal Pill is here!" Wang Cheng handed the Medicinal Pill over.

Lin Yao took the Medicinal Pill without even looking at Wang Cheng, as if she felt it was only natural.

After putting away the Medicinal Pill, Lin Yao spoke: "Go back and tell Revered Master that I will complete the task he assigned!"

"As you command!" Wang Cheng bowed in response and quickly left the area.

...

The days of Cultivation passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a year had quietly slipped away.

Over this past year, Qin Changsheng had remained in the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land, focused and single-minded, Cultivating diligently, never stepping foot outside the blessed land.

During this year, he made use of the Spiritual Qi in the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land, which was ten times that of the outside world, working tirelessly day and night.

Every day, he absorbed the pure Spiritual Qi within the blessed land, circulated his own Cultivation Technique, polished his Foundation, and stabilized his Cultivation. At the same time, he diligently Cultivated the Black-Grade High Grade Blood Qi Cultivation Technique, the "Mountain-Splitting Blood Qi Technique," which he had obtained from the Soul-Severing Blade's Storage Pouch.

Day after day, year after year, he never slacked in the slightest. Even if the Cultivation process was dull and tedious, even if he encountered a Bottleneck difficult to Breakthrough, he always stayed true to his original intention and gave his all.

Under the day-after-day diligent Cultivation, Qin Changsheng's Cultivation level rose steadily.

What made him even more delighted was that the "Mountain-Splitting Blood Qi Technique" had already been Cultivated to the Major Achievement stage.

At this moment, Qin Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in them. The power of Blood Qi around him suddenly erupted, and a majestic force swept through the surroundings, causing the water of the spiritual spring to ripple and the plants to sway with the wind.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, a faint red light appearing on it. Pure Blood Qi power circulated rapidly through his Meridians, and his Physical Body strength had also received a qualitative leap. Even without activating Spiritual Power, relying solely on Physical Body strength, he could easily defeat ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivators.

However, the improvement in Cultivation and the Major Achievement of the Blood Qi Cultivation Technique were not the things that made Qin Changsheng the happiest.

What Qin Changsheng looked forward to most was that the number of times he could draw a Golden Trait had increased once more.

"Draw!" Qin Changsheng took a deep breath and began the trait draw.

As Qin Changsheng's words fell, a golden light appeared on the attribute panel.

After a moment, the golden light vanished, and two ancient and powerful golden characters slowly emerged, imprinting themselves into Qin Changsheng's mind.

[Alchemy]

"[Alchemy]?" Qin Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

On the path of immortal Cultivation, Medicinal Pills are indispensable. Whether for Cultivation, healing, or breaking through Bottlenecks, they are all inseparable from the assistance of Medicinal Pills. However, the art of Alchemy is extremely difficult to learn, with a very low success rate. Even if ordinary Cultivators consume a large amount of Materials, it is difficult for them to refine a single qualified Medicinal Pill. The appearance of the Golden Trait [Alchemy] undoubtedly opened a shortcut for him.

[Alchemy: Golden Trait]

[1. Pill Completion: Alchemy success rate increased by seventy percent. No matter what grade of Medicinal Pill is being refined, or whether the Pill Formula is familiar, the success rate will be increased by seventy percent.]

Looking at this information, a look of joy flashed in Qin Changsheng's eyes.

With this Golden Trait, Qin Changsheng would have no concerns about refining Golden Cores.

Originally, refining a Golden Core was extremely difficult.

Even an Alchemy Grandmaster only had less than a thirty percent chance, and ordinary people only had a ten percent success rate.

But with the addition of the Golden Trait Alchemy, Qin Changsheng had at least an eighty percent success rate.

[2. Quality: The Quality of the refined Medicinal Pills will automatically increase by one Rank.]

Looking at this characteristic, Qin Changsheng also became excited.

Even when an Alchemy Grandmaster refines Golden Cores, most of them are Low Grade Golden Core pills.

But as long as Qin Changsheng succeeded in refining one, it would be a Medium Grade Golden Core pill.

There was even the possibility of a High Grade Golden Core appearing.

If the enhancement of the Heavenly Dao Trait Cultivation was added, it might even be possible for a Top Grade Golden Core pill to appear.

After looking through all the characteristics of Alchemy, Qin Changsheng sat cross-legged on a prayer mat and began to ponder his future plans.

The path of immortal Cultivation is like rowing upstream; if you do not advance, you will fall back.

Now, although he was at the Foundation Establishment Peak, had Cultivated the "Mountain-Splitting Blood Qi Technique" to Major Achievement, and had the addition of the [Alchemy] trait, his strength had greatly increased, but this was far from enough.

Qin Changsheng knew clearly in his heart that to gain a firm foothold in the crisis-ridden Cultivation world and to uncover more secrets, he must continuously improve his own strength and steadily advance every step of his plan, without allowing for the slightest slack.

As his thoughts flowed, the first core plan clearly emerged in his mind.

That was to continue searching for heavenly dao fragments.

heavenly dao fragments are the key to upgrading Golden Traits. Each heavenly dao fragment contains majestic Heavenly Dao power. As long as enough heavenly dao fragments are gathered, he can evolve the Golden Traits in his hands into even more powerful Heavenly Dao Entries.

No matter which Golden Trait it is, once it evolves into a Heavenly Dao Trait, its power will surely double. At that time, his strength will also undergo a qualitative leap.

This was the most important core of his future planning, and it allowed for no carelessness.

Next was the key to attacking the Golden Core Realm.

Finding the last material needed for Core Formation, a protective jade talisman of the fourth grade or higher.

Now his Cultivation was already stable at the Foundation Establishment Peak, and his Blood Qi, Spiritual Power, and mind had all reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment stage. He was only one step away from attacking the Golden Core.

A protective jade talisman of the fourth grade or higher was of utmost importance during Core Formation. It could protect his Physical Body while he was breaking through the Bottleneck, preventing Spiritual Power disorder and physical damage, and ensuring that the Core Formation process was foolproof.

In addition, Qin Changsheng had another clear plan: to find damaged Magical Artifacts of Earth-Grade or higher.

He possessed the Golden Trait [Repair], and he had long since experienced the power of this trait; even a damaged Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact like the dongtian pearl could be successfully repaired, let alone Earth-Grade Magical Artifacts.
