Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 906: Chapter 371 Bingbo Fairy, Almost Became a Live-in Son-in-law

“Humph…”

In the quiet room, a muffled hum sounded.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, a tinge of regret visible in them.

Just now, he had attempted for the third time to unblock an acupoint using Second Order Earth Fire Evil Qi.

But he had failed.

It seemed as if there was a layer of Qi film obstructing it.

...

“The higher the realm, the purer the Spirit Qi becomes, naturally forming a protective Qi film over the body’s vital acupoints.”

“What was meant to be a protective measure has now become a barrier I must overcome to unblock my acupoints.”

“How can I resolve this?”

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

He skillfully applied the Spring Breeze Rain Technique to heal the injuries caused by the Evil Qi contamination during the attempt to unblock the acupoint.

Threads of Wood Spirit Energy sprinkled down, healing minor injuries swiftly.

Luo Chen’s physique was incredibly strong to begin with!

Among those he knew well, he was second only to Wang Yuan.

Even compared to Chu Kui, who also cultivated his body, he was slightly superior.

In his view, Chu Kui only managed to reach Organs Refinement Completion, but he had no clue about penetrating the meridians.

After all, even Luo Chen had completed Hundred Meridians Penetration with great difficulty, relying on Blood Evil Qi Pills and the “Evergreen Sutra.”

His gaze settled on the Floating Rock Stone sealing the Second Order Earth Fire Evil Qi.

Luo Chen’s thoughts involuntarily drifted to Li Yingzhang’s injury.

In Li Yingzhang’s body, a lot of Earth Fire Evil Qi remained.

It was of the same Second Order, but it seemed much purer than the Earth Fire Evil Qi he was currently using.

“Rumor has it that the Flame Alliance has a method for refining Evil Qi, their Second Order Earth Fire Evil Qi is of much higher quality, which is why they can use it for combat.”

“So, is the quality of the Evil Qi not up to par?”

Lost in thought.

A bold idea emerged in Luo Chen’s mind.

If the quality was insufficient, could he make up for it with quantity?

His technique for using Earth Fire Evil Qi to unblock acupoints was heavily influenced by Wang Yuan’s experience, which is why he had been strictly controlling the amount of Evil Qi entering his body, thread by thread.

But others’ experiences may not entirely suit him.

“If I increase the quantity, using two, or even three threads of Evil Qi to impact an acupoint at the same time, could it forcibly unblock it?”

“However, if it fails, the damage caused to my body could be somewhat severe.”

Muttering to himself.

A fierce gleam flashed in Luo Chen’s eyes.

How could there be no risk in inventing one’s own Secret Arts and Cultivation Methods?

Even Wang Yuan had to validate his path by combat.

Then Luo Chen must pay some price as well.

He took a deep breath.

Once his body had fully recovered, Luo Chen beckoned with his hand, and two threads of Earth Fire Evil Qi flew out of the Floating Rock Stone.

He inhaled sharply through his nose.

Instantly, the two threads of Evil Qi, like two fire dragons, shot into his nostrils.

Upon entering his body, they traveled downward, heading straight for the acupoint Luo Chen was most confident about.

…

The next day.

Luo Chen stepped out of his room, with joy appearing in the corners of his eyes and brows, given his shrewdness.

His method for using Earth Fire Evil Qi to unblock acupoints was viable!

After he increased the quantity of Second Order Earth Fire Evil Qi to three threads at a time, he managed to break through the Qi film solidified around the acupoint.

Last night, he had unblocked an acupoint.

“The human body has a total of seven hundred and two acupoints.”

“Including the thirty-six I’ve previously unblocked early through Ming God’s Divine Cleanse, and now another one, that leaves over six hundred remaining.”

“Without considering the major acupoints that solidify tougher Qi films as they approach life and death, to unblock all acupoints I would need about… two thousand and some portions of Second Order Earth Fire Evil Qi.”

“Ten portions cost five hundred Spirit Stones, so over two thousand portions would need at least one hundred thousand stones!”

After arriving at this number, Luo Chen was taken aback.

This amount of Spirit Stones meant little to him at present.

But to ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it was indeed a vast sum!

“No wonder the path of Body Refinement, despite its rapid progress, has been gradually abandoned—it’s clearly an abyss without limit.”

Luo Chen hadn’t calculated just how many resources he had invested in Body Refinement.

It was mainly because he hadn’t been actively cultivating his physique, mostly it was passive training.

Only on Body Refinement Finalization, Organs Refinement, and Meridian Unblocking had he spent some effort.

But thinking about it, the never-ending supply of Demon Beast meat for Spirit Meals, Spirit Rice, and the many medicinal herbs, Blood Evil Qi Pills…

If he were to calculate carefully, it would certainly be a terrifying amount.

Take for instance the opening of the acupoints, which seems like it only requires one hundred thousand Spirit Stones to complete.

One hundred thousand?

That is only for Luo Chen himself.

For ordinary Body Refiners, they need to consider the physical injuries brought on by the Evil Qi, frequently buying elixirs, seeking treatment from doctors, among other things.

The expenditure in those details is another massive sum.

Luo Chen was only able to negate these concerns because he had no small skill as a doctor himself.

Otherwise…

Moreover, even if he managed to unblock the acupoints, if he wanted to continue down the path of Refining the Body, he would have to comprehend the changes in Qi and Blood, which would inevitably be another substantial sum.

Body Refiners are like a vast beast that devours gold!

“But, what comes later doesn’t concern me much.”

“All I need to do is to complete the unblocking, create a purely strong physique, and use it to directly aid my swift cultivation!”

Luo Chen smiled, not dwelling on the more distant matters.

After greeting the people at his station, he left the house.

He needed to find Dan Taijun!

The amount of Earth Fire Evil Qi required by him was simply too much!

With Duan Feng’s connections and Yuan Xiaoyue’s means, it would be difficult to gather such a large amount in a short time.

In the meantime, his expenditure was enormous.

The unimportant acupoints in the initial stages were actually simple to unblock, as long as one grasped the method.

This meant he would require a vast quantity of Evil Qi.
