Chapter 1257: Chapter 480: The Golden Core Exchange Meeting of the Twenty-Seven Sects, Are You Dan Chenzi? (Seeking monthly passes at 10,000 increments)_5

It was quite evident.

With both the Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Master of Food Fragrance present, representatives from other Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects were bound to arrive as well.

...

As expected.

Following closely behind the footsteps of those two, another figure flew in gracefully.

As soon as he landed, a wave of intermingled exclamations filled the great hall.

Many people crowded around him.

Including the group that had been surrounding the Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Master of Food Fragrance!

The reason for this occurrence was simple.

The newcomer was named Meng Changshou, a Golden Core Elder of the Medicine King Sect, and a famous Third Order Pill Refinement Grandmaster!

"Master Meng, it has been many years, yet your demeanor appears even more distinguished than before!"

"You must be Zhou Feng!"

"You’re still as refined and amiable as ever, to think you still remember me; back then, I was merely a Foundation Establishment junior..."

"Yu Jiaolong has seen Master Meng!"

"Hmm, young lady, your talent is notable, and you’re still so young. We are old now, and the world of immortal cultivation will be left to you youngsters."

"Friend Meng, since our separation in the secret realm all those years ago, it must have been a hundred years since we last met!"

"Friend Chu, long time no see. How have you been?"

Amid a chorus of greetings,

Luo Chen stood behind the crowd, a trace of admiration in his eyes.

This was a real master pill refiner with a renowned reputation, his mastery of the Dao of Alchemy complete!

His appearance alone drew everyone’s attention!

Even the celestial beauty of the Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Master of Food Fragrance seemed negligible compared to him.

In comparison, his own title of a "Pill Refinement Grandmaster" with a promising future seemed rather illusory.

What everyone valued was merely his potential.

After all, it was well acknowledged that he had only achieved Core Formation recently, and whether he could refine a Third Order Elixir was still a matter of debate.

Of course!

Luo Chen was not too modest either.

He understood clearly that the reason Meng Changshou could make so many people voluntarily fawn over him was also due to the fact that he was backed by the Path of Pill Ascendant Sect, the Medicine King Sect!

What others were courting was not merely Meng Changshou as an individual but also the sect behind him.

If they could befriend him, perhaps the Medicine King Sect would provide more Third Order Elixir in the future.

The cultivation of pill refiners is challenging.

Just for a First Order Pill Refiner to begin, the resources required were enormous.

Ordinary sects could still afford this expense.

Even Second Order Pill Refiners were within the realm of gritting one’s teeth and enduring,

But a Third Order Pill Refiner...

To put it plainly, Luo Chen’s material cost for refining a single batch of Third Order Star Proliferation Pill was two thousand spirit stones!

He also had the system, this powerful tool that could stabilize the success rate of the pills.

Yet even so, to produce a bottle of Lower Grade Starry Pill, it cost him a total of twenty thousand spirit stones.

And such a Starry Pill would only sell for about four to five thousand spirit stones.

If an ordinary Golden Core Great Sect were to cultivate pill refiners to produce Starry Pills?

The losses accumulated day by day would amount to costs of millions of spirit stones.

And that’s not even guaranteed success in beginning the process!

Even if it were successful, it might not necessarily lead to a higher yield or quality rate of the pills.

The scarcity of high-level alchemists has led to a scarcity of high-grade elixirs.

Take the vast Yu Ding Realm for example.

The well-known Third Order Pill Refiners actually include only Luo Yun Sect’s Mu Yunyan, Qingdan Valley’s Qing Danzi, Ascendant Master Chi Ding, and Ascendant Master Xingyun.

Upcoming talents like Qing Yunzi and Dan Yangzi are called Third Order Pill Refiners, but as of now, there hasn’t been news of them successfully producing any Third Order Elixir.

Beyond that, the Yu Ding Sword Sect internally has one Third Order Pill Refiner.

And that’s it!

The Ice Castle once had one named Shang Hu, but unfortunately, he was righteously executed by his Dao Companion Cultivator, the Jueqing Fairy.

The now gone Flame Alliance did not have a Third Order Pill Refiner, only some collected Third Order Pill Formulas and a small number of Second Order Pill Refiners.

Ailao Mountain didn’t have any, nor did the Hundred Flowers Palace.

So, the once vast Yu Ding Realm actually had only five Third Order Pill Refiners.

These five people could not fully meet the elixir demands of the region’s Golden Core Cultivators.

That is why the status of the Medicine King Sect is so exalted.

Even if they do not intervene in any conflicts, as long as a Third Order Pill Refiner from this sect appears, they are often treated as distinguished guests.

"If I were to sell the Starry Pill today, could I also achieve such..."

This thought had just surfaced when Luo Chen abruptly dismissed it.

How could his efforts alone compete against the influence of the entire Medicine King Sect?

Even if he revealed today his ability to produce Third Order Cultivation Pills, he might at most make some connections but could not achieve the status of Meng Changshou.

"Let’s go, let’s join the crowd as well!"

Fei Ming tugged at his sleeve.

Luo Chen did not refuse.

He never considered himself above others; mingling now, though somewhat opportunistic, was something everyone was doing, so no one would likely think otherwise.

Now was the perfect time, as the meeting had not officially started, and it was the phase where everyone was merely getting acquainted.

Nobody would inappropriately cling to talking with Meng Changshou without giving way to others, mostly just exchanging greetings then allowing the next person their turn.

Fei Ming saw an opening and ushered Luo Chen into the crowd.

...

"Friend Meng, long time no see. Fei has missed you terribly!"

Meng Changshou, an elderly man with white hair, appeared vigorous and had a ruddy complexion.

Seeing Fei Ming, his eyes brightened.

"It is Friend Fei! You’ve come at the right time, I was just thinking about finding you."

The warm familiarity in his words set Fei Ming apart from the crowd who had greeted Meng Changshou earlier.

Fei Ming straightened his back, "Could it be concerning the matter of the pill room?"

Meng Changshou laughed heartily, "You’re sharp as ever, getting it in one guess. I plan to spend some time at Moon-Breaking Immortal City and urgently need a pill room suited to my style and habits. I’ll be counting on you then."
