Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 349 - 206: Three Sects Competition, Wang Tong

"It seems that this Celestial Heart Flame Marrow is indeed an extremely precious resource," Qi Chuan nodded slightly and said.

Upon reaching the Core Formation Realm, the mana in the cultivator’s Dantian condenses into a Golden Core. Both in terms of quality and quantity, this represents a significant breakthrough. Often, a Core Formation True Master can casually cast a spell, and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would feel as though facing a force akin to heaven collapsing, scarcely able to withstand it.

However, the breakthrough to the Great Core Formation Realm requires an even more astounding amount of mana. Advancing from Core Formation Early Stage to Core Formation Middle Stage necessitates enormous resources and prolonged cultivation to convert mana, let alone progressing from Core Formation Middle Stage to Core Formation Late Stage.

Moreover, there are bottlenecks between the Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage of Core Formation, which are much harder compared to the minor bottlenecks between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining.

Many Core Formation Early Stage Cultivators, after years of effort, reach the peak of Core Formation Early Stage, only to be ultimately stuck at the bottleneck, unable to advance to Core Formation Middle Stage for the rest of their lives.

In such circumstances, reaching the peak of Core Formation Early Stage earlier would naturally allow more preparation time to face the bottleneck.

Therefore, Core Formation True Masters also greatly cherish cultivation resources.

This Celestial Heart Flame Marrow is a very rare Core Formation cultivation resource.

A single drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow can match several years of hard cultivation for a Core Formation True Master. If Qi Chuan obtains it, he could naturally reach the peak of Core Formation Early Stage more quickly and then attack the bottleneck.

Furthermore, Qi Chuan remembers that there is a rare pill formula in the Celestial Pill Elder’s legacy, ranked as Tier Three, which uses Celestial Heart Flame Marrow as the main material.

If he can obtain the Celestial Heart Flame Marrow and refine it into a Tier Three Elixir, it would undoubtedly be greatly beneficial to him.

"However, acquiring this Celestial Heart Flame Marrow is not so easy," Zhao Ming spoke at this time: "Celestial Heart Flame Marrow exists within a Flame Marrow Earth Vein, and the Flame Marrow Ore produced therein is quite a decent Tier Two resource. Only occasionally, deep within the vein, will a small amount of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow form."

"And that Flame Marrow Earth Vein is not within the Immortal Sect’s control. It was initially discovered by an ordinary Core Formation Sect, unexpectedly known by the Immortal Sect, and then the Immortal Sect intended to seize it..."

Hearing this, Qi Chuan’s eyebrows subtly twitched.

As the Sect Leader of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, Zhao Ming’s words were truly quite, without concealment.

However, this is also the consistent style of many powerful forces in the Immortal World.

Treasures belong to those who can claim them, a universally acknowledged principle.

"But, just as the Immortal Sect was about to succeed, something unexpected occurred. The other two Nascent Soul Major Sects, somehow, got wind of it and also intervened."

"Cangjian Pavilion, Yin Yang Mansion?" Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan’s heart sank slightly. These are the other two Nascent Soul Major Sects in Beihua State, and their strength is certainly not inferior to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

"That’s right," Zhao Ming showed a face of regret, "that Flame Marrow Earth Vein, after all, is not within the Immortal Sect’s control; it’s just closer to the Immortal Sect compared to Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion, but not by much. This gave Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion a reason to intervene."

"The three Nascent Soul Major Sects, with strength equally matched, wouldn’t engage in a full-scale conflict due to the massive disturbance and impact it would cause. Therefore, unspoken rules have long existed among our Nascent Soul Major Sects concerning resource disputes, and the final outcome for the Celestial Heart Flame Marrow was a joint division among the three sects."

Hearing this, Qi Chuan suddenly grew curious and asked, "What about the Core Formation Sect that discovered the Flame Marrow Earth Vein? Didn’t they receive even a little something?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Zhao Ming smiled faintly, "Of course, they received something. They were granted some decent resources from our three sects."

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but purse his lips slightly.

Unexpectedly, neither the Celestial Heart Flame Marrow nor the ordinary Flame Marrow Ore was allocated to that Core Formation Sect; they were only granted some other resources instead.

However, with three Nascent Soul Major Sects seizing your Flame Marrow Earth Vein, not opening the massacre gates and even granting some resources as a reward isn’t too bad.

At least they still obtained some benefits.

"In three months, it will be time again for the three sects to divide the Celestial Heart Flame Marrow produced from the Flame Marrow Earth Vein. By then, a batch of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow will arrive at the Immortal Sect, and as a newly advanced Core Formation True Master, I can decide to grant you a drop." Zhao Ming said to Qi Chuan with a smile.

Such a good thing?

Qi Chuan was quite surprised, but facing the Celestial Heart Flame Marrow, he naturally had no reason to refuse, so he thanked Zhao Ming with cupped fists: "Thank you, Sect Leader, for the treasure!"

"No need to thank me; our Immortal Sect always gives a certain preference to newly advanced Core Formation True Masters. Once the duration’s over, if you wish to obtain more resources, it’ll require your own efforts," Zhao Ming said, waving his hand.

"Yes, I shall work hard." Qi Chuan nodded. Having utilized the Five Elements Peak to break through to Core Formation Early Stage, being bestowed the Bright King Technique, Chongxu Bell, then Feng Tan returning with him to Wind Moon Sect to resolve matters, and now about to obtain a drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow, truly, he’s indebted to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and must ’repay’ through diligence.

"Sect Leader, is the division of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow among the three sects done equally?" Qi Chuan then asked with curiosity.

"Oh, not exactly." Zhao Ming shook his head and explained, "Though the three sects are Nascent Soul Major Sects, considering the greater picture, for certain resources, they won’t create huge disturbances. Yet for treasures like Celestial Heart Flame Marrow, how could the three sects not compete and easily hand them over, even a fair split is out of the question."
