Eternal Life: Talent Grows with Age-Chapter 353 - 217: The Unattainable True Essence Pill!

Chapter 353: Chapter 217: The Unattainable True Essence Pill!

"No wonder he’s a Grade B Alchemist—the speed at which his contribution points are rising is simply astonishing."

He examined each character carefully, feeling some resistance toward Lu Chang’sheng within his heart, but he had to admit that the record keeper’s analysis of Lu Chang’sheng was indeed spot-on.

Alchemy Dao Talent—Excellent!

This was the rating given by the record keeper.

Usually, record keepers wouldn’t add their own evaluations at the end of their analysis, since such judgments were mostly left for the elders to make.

Only when they truly couldn’t hold it back would they give a rating themselves.

’This person has caught up to Fan Shou and the others in just half a year. It won’t be long before he surpasses them.’

The light in Elder Li’s eyes flickered, and in his heart, a trace of intent to cover up the record appeared, though he ultimately gave up the idea.

This month’s rating he could hide, but come next time when other elders took their turns, he couldn’t conceal it anymore. Besides, he had a few misgivings about Lu Chang’sheng himself.

Soon, Elder Li brought the record book to the other three elders.

Having learned about Lu Chang’sheng’s progress, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but raise the issue of the nomination once again.

"I think Alchemist Lu deserves a spot. Let’s not forget, our real competition isn’t among ourselves, but with the White Cloud Mountain Range," Xiao Feng succinctly pointed out the key issue.

This time, the other three elders didn’t object further and agreed to the proposal.

Of course, they didn’t stop cultivating their own favored disciples because of this.

"Fellow Daoist Lu truly possesses extraordinary talent in alchemy—I’d even say he’s stronger than Zhou Lin. However, his shortcomings are clear too; his Immortal Dao Root Bone holds back his potential."

"Still, letting Fellow Daoist Lu join the ranks isn’t a bad thing. It might even push the other three to work harder."

······

Listening to Elder Li and the others discussing, Xiao Feng felt somewhat displeased but was unable to refute them.

"Giving him a chance isn’t so bad,"

he thought to himself.

······

Becoming a True Seed comes with many benefits.

What truly moved Lu Chang’sheng was the qualification to exchange for Master Baiyun’s alchemy inheritance, reserved for True Seeds.

When Xiao Feng informed him that he was now a True Seed, Lu Chang’sheng realized that his list of items available for purchase with contribution points had expanded.

Among them—one was the "True Man Inheritance."

"Before Master Baiyun passed away, he left behind his inheritance, which includes the Foundation Establishment Chapter of the Cyan Essence Immortal Technique, the Spirit Array True Understanding, and the Alchemy Dao Jade Scroll,"

Xiao Feng looked at Lu Chang’sheng and smiled.

"Now that you’ve become a True Seed, you can use your contribution points to exchange for these three things. However, once you’ve learned the skills of the True Man, you’ll be part of his lineage. I trust you’ll remain grateful toward him in the future."

Lu Chang’sheng nodded solemnly.

In the Spirit Realm, many people place great importance on lineage, emphasizing respect for their masters and elders. Clearly, both Master Baiyun and Xiao Feng belonged to this camp.

Lu Chang’sheng didn’t see any problem with this. Foundation Establishment inheritances are truly rare. Even though he helped White Cloud Pavilion refine plenty of pills, the value of those pills was rarely enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment inheritance.

On the market, very few Foundation-level inheritances circulated; even when some did, they were eventually reclaimed by Immortal Sects or major powers.

Therefore, to be given a Foundation Establishment inheritance was definitely a huge favor.

"Chang’sheng will surely remember that he is part of Master Baiyun’s lineage."

Xiao Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Staring at Lu Chang’sheng, he asked, "What level of cultivation have you reached now?"

He wanted to check on Lu Chang’sheng’s progress.

This spot was not easily won. Now that it was given to Lu Chang’ssheng, Xiao Feng wouldn’t allow him to waste it.

"Qi Cultivation, fifth layer, fifty-nine Ku’s magical power."

Lu Chang’sheng answered truthfully.

"Just a bit more and you’ll reach the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation. With some more effort, there’s hope to reach late-stage Qi Cultivation soon."

Xiao Feng nodded.

He was fairly satisfied with this. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

He was unaware that Lu Chang’sheng was using top-grade pills to support his cultivation; otherwise, his mindset wouldn’t have been the same.

After all, even he wouldn’t use top-grade pills every single day.

Most of the time, he relied on high-quality pills to cultivate.

Lu Chang’sheng didn’t dwell on it much. Once Xiao Feng left, he picked up a list and started to review its contents.

Xiao Feng had brought it specifically for him. It included many items that could be exchanged: spirit stones, pills, materials, magical artifacts, spells, immortal techniques, and more.

The majority were ordinary items, but the very top of the list held several lines of writing that shimmered with an extraordinary glow.

True Man Inheritance!

Spirit Array True Understanding requires ten thousand contribution points for exchange.

Cyan Essence Immortal Technique (Foundation Establishment Chapter) requires twenty thousand contribution points for exchange.

Alchemy Dao Jade Scroll* (Master Baiyun) requires ten thousand contribution points for exchange.

Lu Chang’sheng looked at his own contribution points—he had a little over three thousand in total.

To amass ten thousand points, it’d still take a year or two.

Without wasting a word, Lu Chang’sheng pressed on with his previous alchemy schedule, devoting nearly all his time daily to refining pills for contribution points.

Under this relentless dedication, his contribution soared even faster than the previous couple of months.

By year-end, he’d nearly accumulated ten thousand contribution points.

And his drive that pushed everyone to nervous exhaustion left all the alchemists in White Cloud Pavilion utterly shocked.

Especially Fan Shou, Luo Ji, and Mo Ran, who were so intensely spurred on that they barely left the Alchemy Room day and night.

Unfortunately, their alchemy skills still lagged far behind Lu Chang’sheng’s. All they could do was watch their contribution points get surpassed, as Lu Chang’sheng overtook Fan Shou, who once had the highest.
