Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 685: Offering to the Pill
Chapter 685 -685: Offering to the Pill
Langya Immortal Land, Yi Three Cave Mansion.
Langya Immortal Land is a convergence of spiritual energy in Yongle Immortal City, with three hundred and sixty-nine cave mansions opened, rented to the city’s cultivators for their Breaking Threshold endeavors.
Of course, the rent is very expensive, and ordinary cultivators can only indulge themselves when advancing to a higher tier or breaking into a great realm, all for the sake of improving their success rate.
Wang Chen had stayed in Langya Immortal Land for ten days, renting a cave mansion solely for the purpose of practicing the Mysterious External Alchemy Technique he had recently acquired.
The Mysterious External Alchemy Technique is quite famous in the immortal realm and is considered one of the best External Core techniques. It is said that its creator was a Power Men cultivator known by the immortal name “Mysterious.”
This Dharma Technique can be practiced from the Purple Mansion Realm to the Golden Core Realm, refining the External Core for one’s own use, and unleashing the utmost potential of the External Core, controlling it as smoothly as waving one’s own hand—a truly superior technique.
...
However, the difficulty of practicing the Mysterious External Alchemy Technique is quite high. Besides possessing a high-quality External Core, it also demands an outstanding Root Bone and Comprehension.
In the spiritually rich cave mansion, Wang Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, fully focused on mobilizing the mana within his body, condensing the Samadhi True Fire to refine a glistening golden pill.
This dragon-eye-sized pill had integrated True Person Ye’s Golden Core and a Monster Spirit Pill, and after nearly thirty days of tempering in the Creation Cauldron, its body was extremely condensed, making it quite challenging to refine.
The strongest aspect of the Mysterious External Alchemy Technique was its ability to use Purple Mansion mana to simulate Samadhi True Fire for refinement.
Refining the Golden Core with true fire, originally an exclusive right of True Persons, was cleverly made more accessible by the Mysterious External Alchemy Technique, allowing a Purple Mansion cultivator like Wang Chen to experience the powers of a higher level prematurely.
He had been refining the external core for ten days, and his own aura and mana had already deeply merged into its core.

Success was imminent!
At this critical moment, the nature’s spiritual energy within the cave mansion was no longer sufficient to sustain Wang Chen’s consumption. He activated the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, continuously drawing spiritual power from within to maintain the undying true fire.
Although the Samadhi True Fire floating in front of Wang Chen was simulated by the External Alchemy Technique, the consumption of mana was still terrifying. Without the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net as an aid, it would have been impossible for him to refine to such a state so quickly.
Under the continuous refinement of the Samadhi True Fire, the External Core turned from golden to a fiery red, its body flawless and clear as crystal, resembling a blood-colored glass bead, shimmering with a heart-stopping brilliance.
Now was the time!
Wang Chen suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed out a mouthful of essence blood, completely enveloping the External Core within it.
The External Core whizzed around swiftly, completely absorbing his essence blood.
Wang Chen’s mind shook, and an image of a golden core suddenly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
It was a success!
Without a second thought, he drew in a breath, and the External Core along with the Samadhi True Fire rolled back and was swallowed into his belly in the blink of an eye.
His Qi Sea was full, and his Dantian swelled, giving Wang Chen a sense of being stuffed!
And also extremely exhilarated.
Because the aura emitted by the External Core that had entered his body was now nourishing his organs, limbs, and every part of him, reaching into every acupoint of his body.
It felt as if a mighty force could be released with every movement!
This was the initial sign of successful External Core refinement, and as long as it was nurtured daily, its power would enhance even further.
Not to mention the Purple Mansion Realm, even at the Golden Core tier, the External Core could still play a significant role.
It could be regarded as a trump card!
Wang Chen spent another three days mastering the control of the External Core, then returned the cave mansion and left the city.
He summoned the Dragon Abyss sword, chose a random direction, flew a thousand miles away, and eventually landed in an uninhabited secluded valley.
“Thunder Come!”
Thunderbolts laden with destructive power descended from the sky, mercilessly ravaging the trees and rocks in the secluded valley, causing immense destruction.
This process continued for an entire day, interspersed with flashes of Sword Light, burning flames, and the hissing of tearing air streams.
Wang Chen was testing the limits and upper boundaries of his mana.
With the aid of the External Core’s power.

As the ruckus he caused was quite significant, it attracted the attention of Loose Cultivators passing by, who came to investigate.
The other party thought it was the emergence of some treasure but, realizing it was just a cultivator practicing spells, they immediately fled far away.
Spying on another’s cultivation is a big taboo!
Besides, the power Wang Chen showed was extremely strong.
After the test was over, Wang Chen, having had his fill of fun, returned to Yongle Immortal City.
He was very satisfied with the results of the test.
The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, with the added boost from the External Core, had its power increased by at least fifty percent.
Under normal circumstances that is. If pushed to the limit, even a several-fold increase wouldn’t be a problem!
Moreover, Wang Chen’s control over the External Core was still at the Primary Tier, and with further nurturing and skillful manipulation, its potential was bound to increase even more.
Most importantly, with the External Core enhancing his capabilities, Wang Chen could wield the Dragon Abyss Sword even more effortlessly, multiplying the number of sword lights he could produce when executing sword techniques by more than double!
As for the distance and speed of sword control, these too were greatly strengthened!
Beyond the significant assistance to his strength and combat abilities, in theory, Wang Chen could also use the External Core to learn and master some Primary Tier Golden Core spells.
However, Wang Chen had no intention of biting off more than he could chew and, for the time being, did not devote any time or energy to learning Golden Core spells.
What interested him more was using the External Core to control the Yueyang Bell.
The Lifebound Magic Treasure that originally belonged to True Person Ye.
Although the Yueyang Bell had gone through a complete transformation and was re-cultivated, it was still somewhat conspicuous, so it wasn’t advisable to take it out lightly. After returning to the city, Wang Chen considered whether he should find a safer and more secluded residence here.
Having registered as a citizen of Yongle Immortal City, he was eligible to purchase property within the city.
Including real estate.
Real estate prices in the Immortal City were undoubtedly very high, but for Wang Chen, who had stumbled upon a windfall, it was still affordable.
It was merely a matter of whether it was worth it or not.
Truth be told, he now suffered from PTSD when it came to buying property and establishing roots, worried that once he bought a house and thought about settling down, disaster would follow, forcing him to flee.
This scenario had occurred more than once!
Moreover, intuition told Wang Chen that the Yongle Immortal City was merely the beginning of his journey in the Haotian Immortal Realm.
Not the end.
After much thought, Wang Chen decided to put aside the idea of buying a house for now.
After all, he had only a month’s vacation, and in just over ten days, he would have to return to the Forbidden Prison Department to work, then who knows what he’d have to do, so rushing to buy a house now was not a wise choice.
Tap, tap!
Just as Wang Chen was preparing to rest, someone gently knocked on his room door.
Wang Chen frowned and asked in a deep voice, “Who is it?”
The place he was staying in was a single room at a large inn in the city.
A maid’s voice came from outside, “To report to the Superior, there is a guest who wishes to visit. May I ask if they should be admitted?”
A guest?
Wang Chen was quite puzzled.
He didn’t have any friends in Yongle Immortal City and had just moved into this inn he had never been to before; how could there be visitors?
After a moment of thought, he answered, “Let them come in.”
