Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 440: Chapter 194: Living as a Hero, Dying as a

Ghost Kingl

The tides ebb swiftly, the summer heat scarcely lingers.

The rapid passage of time is often imperceptible to mortals, taking years before they suddenly look back and realize how much time has actually passed. “Oh, so many years have already gone by!”

For cultivators who’ve embarked on the real path of the Great Dao, the erosion of time is the most terrifying blade.

When Luo Chen finally emerges from his state of protracted purification, three years have fleetingly passed.

“Did that much time really go by?”

Luo Chen is somewhat lost in thought.

But soon, he gathers his mind, focusing his attention on his own body.

His cultivation level had finally stabilized!

He opens the attribute panel he hasn’t accessed in a long time.

A series of data unfolds like an ink painting before him.

The first thing that catches Luo Chen’s attention is the increase in his lifespan.

Seeing this, a weight is lifted from his heart.

“As expected, even though I had an innate deficiency, after establishing my Dao foundation, the limitation has been broken.”

“Now, as my cultivation progresses a bit, my lifespan limit is constantly increasing.”

A slight smile can be seen on Luo Chen’s face as he revels in his contentment.

However, if other Foundation Establishment cultivators heard him describe his cultivation as “progressing a bit,” they’d probably curse loudly.

Advancing from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the second level in just three short years is nothing short of extraordinary.

Of course, Luo Chen knows his own affairs best.

In the future, such a rate of cultivation probably couldn’t be maintained.

Although he hasn’t consumed any elixirs except the Fasting Elixir in the last three years, a tremendous amount of medicinal power had been accumulated when he initially broke through to Foundation Establishment and his Dantian was reconstructed. What he’s done so far is just fully refining it.

Moreover, such efficiency owes greatly to this Rich Spirit Land under him!

This was the cultivation site arranged by Pang Renxiong, the Golden Core Ascendant Master, in his prime time.

At its peak, it was absolutely a Third Order Spirit Land!

However, after that great battle, the Array in Luo Feng Mountain was completely ruined.

This temporarily upgraded Spirit Land gradually dissipated.

By the time Luo Chen arrived, it had already fallen from the Third Order to Second Order quality.

Nevertheless, even this surpassed ordinary Second Order Spirit Land.

With his all-out absorption for these three years, the quality of this Spirit Land has been continuously declining.

Now, it’s barely maintaining at the Second Order.

“It’s probably hard to find such a cultivation environment in the future.”

Luo Chen shakes his head, not being greedy.

His gaze falls on the other entries.

The fact that his main cultivational method, the “Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra,” has been advanced to the Perfection level is not surprising.

After all, he has already mastered the Longevity Technique, making it a seamless transition.

In fact, he thinks the proficiency level was increased too slowly.

“After all, it’s a Second Order technique. It only increases a bit of proficiency after running multiple times.”

“If I want to advance it to Grandmaster level, it’s probably going to get slower and slower.”

“But this is expected. As you progress deeper, whether in your cultivation level or Cultivation Technique, the increment will decrease, becoming slower.”

Luo Chen is not concerned about this.

What he cares about is his current cultivation speed.

After digesting the accumulated medicinal power within him, Luo Chen deliberately calculated his cultivation speed.

At first, due to the continuously hiking proficiency level of his Natal Qi Technique, the data obtained was not stable.

But after the “Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra” got stuck at the Perfection level, his data gradually stabilized.

Eventually, Luo Chen arrived at an approximate figure.

“If I don’t use pills and there is a regular quality Second Order Spirit Vein land like now, it will take… at least two thousand years for me to cultivate to the perfection of Foundation Building.”

Terrifying data, indifferent tone.

Such a stark contrast doesn’t cause any disruption in Luo Chen’s heart.

Or rather, the initial shock when he obtained the data had passed.

Now, he’s merely calmly accepting it.

Frankly, this data isn’t that shocking.

He was comparing to the rumored Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators.

Records in the Immortal Cultivation World state that without the help of pills, Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators might achieve Foundation Establishment in ten years, Core Formation in a hundred years, Nascent Soul in two hundred years, and Divine Transformation in five hundred years.

This terrifying speed of cultivation is the reason why major Sects scramble for cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root talent.

Conversely, with this as a reference, we can measure the cultivation efficiency of cultivators with different talents.

Luo Chen has his own set of metrics, as he does not know how others measure it.

If we consider the cultivation speed of Five Spirit Root Talent as one standard unit,

then Quadruple Spirit Root would be two standard units, Triple Spirit Root would be four standard units, Dual Spirit Root would be eight standard units.

The Heavenly Spirit Root Talent climbs as high as twenty times the standard unit!
