Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 420: Chapter 188 Foundation Establishment_4

Logically, he should immediately rush towards establishing his foundation now.

However, what he had seen and heard over the years made him uncertain about foundation establishment.

Previously Fu Xiuxiu had failed to establish her foundation even with a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Afterward, Duan Rui, with his two Foundation Establishment Pills plus the Eight-Hundred Year Heavenly Root, acquired nothing.

There were also cases like Fu Xiuxiu’s dao companion cultivator, Duan Feng’s father, and other sect disciples who failed.

This caused his recognition of the difficulty of establishing a foundation to keep escalating.

“Even Brother Wang, who has been brave and aggressive on the path of cultivation, fell at the step of foundation establishment.”

“Two Foundation Establishment Pills might still not be enough for me!”

“Therefore, I still need to refine Emperor Liquor, I can’t not do it!”

After his hesitation, he made a firm decision.

Luo Chen didn’t want to experience failure over and over again, nor did he want to take hit after hit.

Even with his strong physique, Divine Soul Endowment comparable to that of Foundation Establishment, and numerous rich resources to aid in foundation establishment.

He still planned to do his best and attain perfection!

He had just entered the beginner stage of Emperor Liquor refinement, and it had taken a lot of his effort.

After several failures, he had gradually found the key.

Success was not far away.

So, why not slow down a bit?

Once Luo Chen was fully immersed, the familiar work of pill refinement began again.

One month later.

Luo Chen, exhausted, showed a joyous expression.

Looking up at the Four Symbols Trippot, streams of golden liquid, flowing like Spirit Liquid from the stars, were pouring down.

“There’s so much!”

Without hesitation, he took out three large jade bottles.

Using the Cloud Transformation Hand, he led each of them down.

The golden Emperor Liquor that fell from the sky slowly flowed into the three jade bottles.

Three portions!

Given the cost.

For these three servings of Emperor Liquor, Luo Chen had spent more than ten thousand Spirit Stones.

It was a serious overspending!

After all, this was only Second Order Spirit Liquid.

But considering its significant effect on enhancing the foundation, it might not be weaker than the Foundation Establishment Pill.

As such, its value cannot be merely measured by the number of Spirit Stones. “With this, everything is truly in place!”

After licking his lips, Luo Chen put the Four Symbols Trippot away.

He cast the Cleaning Technique on the entire Green Reed House.

Not only that, he also carefully took out ten Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

One by one, he embedded them in the holes next to the Spirit Spring.

With his fingers interlacing, Luo Chen held his breath and concentrated, casting one Dao Law Method after another.

This was a set of Dao Law Methods he obtained from the Duan Family Book Treasure Library.

It didn’t have any extra effects, only the effect of integrating the Spirit Qi in the Ice-Fire Spirit Spring and temporarily upgrading it from a First Order Spirit Land to a Second Order Spirit Land.

Ice and fire are two extremes, conflicting results in destruction, unifying results in prosperity.

“Meld!”

Instantly, large white clouds of mist spread out continuously.

The mist filled the air, but there was a feeling of exhaustion.

Unless Luo Chen sustained the release of the Dao Law Methods.

But he needs to attempt Foundation Establishment, so naturally, he can’t do this.

Therefore, those ten Medium Grade Spirit Stones, with the help of the array, can temporarily maintain the current state.

“Breathe in…”

He takes a deep breath, and Luo Chen’s spirit was greatly shaken.

This feeling was the same as when Mi Shuhua created a Second Order Spirit Vein Land.

Except that Mi Shuhua had to use eighty Spirit Stones to do that.

But he only needed ten Spirit Stones.

The difference lies in this Ice-Fire Spirit Spring!

“In three days, this Second Order Spirit Land will be completely stable.”

“By then, it will be the real chance to break through the foundation.”

“These three days are exactly what I need to recover.”

Luo Chen took a long breath, laid down straight on the small bed in the room.

Three days later.

After bathing and changing clothes, he lit incense.

Luo Chen casually sat cross-legged on the bank of the Ice-Fire Spirit Spring.

He lit the Calming incense, and the Moonlight Grass released a faint fragrance.

The Glaze Balm that can enhance the strength of his body was applied.

He drank the Restoring Yang Water ahead of time.

Having done all this, Luo Chen then carefully took out a Foundation Establishment Pill.

“I’ll start with the formally trained Foundation Establishment Pill to break through!”

Without hesitation, he ingested the pill.

Just a moment passed, and a colossal medicinal power explosively burst forth.

This was not like ordinary pills used for cultivation.

It was a Foundation Establishment Pill refined for the purpose of breaking through realms.

It stresses powerful medicinal power to break through difficult obstacles forcefully.

Success or failure rested on the upcoming impact.

However, before Luo Chen could use the Spirit Qi to impact the Dantian Barrier, a severe pain came washing over him from his limbs and body.

Especially at the tip of his tongue!

The pain was so intense it almost made him want to bite his own tongue off.

He could no longer maintain his cross-legged position.

He collapsed on the ground, rolling back and forth.

His face turned red, looking much like a cooked shrimp.

The tendons protruded, large drops of sweat continuously fell on the ground.

His teeth and lips had long been bitten till they were bloody.

He felt as if he was on the verge of fainting from the pain.

“I can’t, I can’t do this!”

In his daze, Luo Chen instinctively activated the Ming God’s Divine Cleanse.

The thirty-six acupoints that were usually stimulated now became the center.

All the pain gathered towards the thirty-six acupoints.

Pain!

Even more pain!

But paradoxically, in this extreme pain, Luo Chen found a familiar feeling.

“After all, it’s still within my tolerable range!”

Luo Chen’s face twisted, pushing his mighty will to sit up.

He must not waste the effect of this Foundation Establishment Pill!

The Longevity Technique at the Finalization Level was activated.

Luo Chen, with unyielding will, forcibly used the cultivation technique to mobilize the abundant Spirit Qi Cloud Cluster in the Dantian. In this way, he absorbed the massive medicinal power released by the Foundation Establishment Pill.
