Chapter 607: Chapter 255: Difficult hardships grey my temples, but my resolve remains undying, forming a golden core_2

Contrarily, because he still possessed a Foundation Establishment Pill from Wang Haichao, he bestowed it upon Sima Huiniang two years later.

The result was a resounding success!

Since then, the Luo Tian Creed boasted an official with the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Under the vigorous governance of Sima Huiniang, the Luo Tian Creed thrived increasingly.

The pills that Luo Chen tirelessly refined day and night were fetching high prices from all over the Tianlan Immortal City.

He began selling the Jade Marrow Pill, Jade Dew Pill, and even the Tongyou Pill.

Thanks to the profits garnered from these elixirs, he accrued an unimaginable amount of Spirit Stones.

However, he was not a stingy man.

Besides advancing his cultivation using his substantial wealth, he also provided ample support to his old friends.

Both Gu Caiyi and Murong Qinglian were fortunate enough to build their Foundation Establishment.

Even for Zhou Yuanli, whose aptitude was comparably poorer, Luo Chen, in recognition of his years of companionship, successively bought him three Foundation Establishment Pills enabling him to luckily establish his foundation and prolong his life.

On the contrary, Qin Liangchen, after failing to establish his foundation twice and dwindling his vitality, chose to abandon the pursuit willingly.

If he continued trying, his life would be compromised, irrespective of whether he succeeded or not.

The situation in the Yu Ding Realm was ever-changing and unpredictable, varying with each passing day.

The clash between the two Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects eventually erupted into an all-out war.

In spite of the numerous Foundation Establishment True Cultivators that the Luo Tian Creed had gathered over the years – both openly and covertly – their destiny was still out of their control, swept up in the grand scheme of things.

What ensued was a war that raged on for several decades.

During this period, the Luo Tian Creed lost many of its cultivators.

Even Wang Yuan, Luo Chen’s closest associate, due to his ruthless actions, offended a Golden Core Ascendant Master and was relentlessly pursued, ultimately perishing.

Not to mention his other friends.

Luo Chen was naturally cautious and sharp-minded.

He hovered on the brink of life and death many times but ultimately survived.

The war concluded with a Nascent Soul True Master from the Yu Ding Sword Sect boldly bursting into the gate of Luo Yun Sect, resulting in mutual destruction.

The war ended.

The severely wounded Luo Tian Creed returned to Tianlan Immortal City.

A lengthy recovery period began once again.

At the age of 170, Luo Chen, at long last, advanced to the Eighth-Level Foundation Establishment.

At that time, he was considered a significant figure in Tianlan Immortal City.

Even when the Sect in power changed to the Flame Alliance, with close ties to the Yu Ding Sword Sect, Luo Chen, through his pill business, managed to establish a vassal relationship with them.

However, the Eighth-Level Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation left Luo Chen bumping against a wall of despair.

Even though he’d accrued centuries’ worth of wealth that could obtain countless resources

his aptitude limited him, resulting in him possessing an abundance of resources but lacking the ability to rapidly enhance his strength.

And this was merely the Eighth-Level Foundation Establishment!

There were still the more challenging Ninth Level Foundation Establishment and the perilous barrier of Core Formation yet to overcome. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

It could be said that his hope for The Great Dao Path was close to non-existent.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Luo Chen!

He regularly attended auctions, frequented other Immortal Cities in the Yu Ding Realm, and even joined a Golden Core Great Sect as an external worshipping cultivator to obtain higher-tier and more effective cultivation resources.

Despite all his efforts, the progress of his cultivation remained slow.

By the time he reached two hundred years of age.

He sat atop of Danxia Peak, gazing at the spectacular sea of clouds, his heart filled with confusion.

Behind him, the slow sound of footsteps resonated.

Gu Caiyi.

Who had miraculously achieved Foundation Establishment and also miraculously survived the battle of the Ascendant Sects. Even after two hundred years, she still retained her youthful beauty.

Even the passage of time brought a few traces of maturity to her demeanor.

“Luo Chen, do you want to rest for a while?”

“With The Great Dao Path ahead, how can I afford to rest?” Luo Chen replied without turning his head, his tone resolute.

However, within his determination, there was a trace of despair.

Gu Caiyi stood beside him, looking at him with sympathy.

“I have known you since you were at the Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage.”

“Nearly two hundred years have passed. If you weren’t refining pills, you were cultivating.”

“Even if you weren’t cultivating, you were often juggling between numerous great forces, striving to carve out a space for Luo Tian Creed.”

“In these two hundred years, you have never stopped.”

“Aren’t you tired?”

Upon hearing her asking, “Aren’t you tired?”, Luo Chen, sitting atop the peak, felt his head spinning.

An overwhelming wave of fatigue surged from the depths of his soul.

First a trickle of a spring, gradually growing into a stream, and finally roaring into a turbulent river.

He was truly tired.

Two hundred years of turbulence, indifferent to women, disinterested in authority, and ceaseless cultivation!

Never had there been one as diligent as him.

Relying on his Grandmaster-level Pill Refinement Technique, his wealth accumulation speed outpaced his peers.

Even a Golden Core cultivator wasn’t half as wealthy as him.

However, even so, reaching the Golden Core stage still seemed like an elusive dream.

Despair surged beneath his determination, spreading boundlessly….

A soft mountain breeze swept by, yet his body wavered, on the brink of collapse.

A robust waist supported his slightly swaying, whitening face.

Gu Caiyi gently stroked his graying hair, murmuring, “Shall we, stop the struggle?”

Stop, the struggle?

Three days later.

On Danxia Peak, a grand wedding ceremony commenced!

The Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, Second Order Pill Refinement Grandmaster Luo Chen, and Luo Tian Creed Elder Gu Caiyi became Dao companions.

At the wedding, there was an abundance of well-wishers.

There was no shortage of conversation about Qi Refinement, or laughter over Foundation Establishment.

Even three Golden Core cultivators made an appearance, specifically to congratulate Luo Chen.

This impromptu wedding had profound implications.

Even after twenty years, it was still widely talked about in the Yu Ding Realm.
