Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 933: Chapter 381 Chu Kui: Luo Chen, are you interested in pulling off a big one? _2

The limitations of Luo Chen’s cultivation level and social connections prevented him from contemplating deeper matters.

Unable to find a solution, Luo Chen waved his hand dismissively.

“You may leave now,” he said.

“In the coming days, ensure that no one disturbs me.”

Full of curiosity, Xu Huanzhen took a glance at the Three-leaf Crown on Luo Chen’s head, then respectfully left the stone cottage.

After Xu Huanzhen’s departure, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and took off the crown.

A Flame Imprint stood out prominently atop his head.

Vivid as if it were engulfed in flames.

His fingers brushed the imprint at his brow as Luo Chen’s expression remained calm, seemingly not too concerned about this object.

The rubbing fingers suddenly came together like a blade!

A thread of bright red blood essence emerged slowly from his sword-like fingers and then carefully settled upon the Flame Imprint.

“Sizzle…”

The smell of scorching filled the air instantly.

Luo Chen clenched his teeth, utterly ignoring the slight pain deep within his divine soul, and continued the motion relentlessly.

After a long while, he slowly relaxed his sword fingers, letting them dangle towards the ground.

Drip!

A drop of scarlet blood slowly fell from his finger to the floor.

Seeing this, Luo Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

“Brother Wang did not deceive me; even without Hidden or Visible Power, this Blood Transforming Demon Finger can be activated through blood essence alone,” he thought to himself.

On their way back.

Wang Yuan and Luo Chen had discussed the mark that Yan Leizi, before his death, had seemingly cursed Luo Chen with.

In the end, Wang Yuan concluded that it resembled the Secret Technique related to bloodlines mastered by Dried Toad Huo Quan.

It must also be one of the inheritances passed down to the True Disciples of the Flame Alliance.

Only that Yan Leizi’s mastery of it was much more profound.

For this object, Wang Yuan had studied it countless times over the past few months.

Initially, he had only intended to hold back the enemy to create time for fellow Luo Tian Creed cultivators to escape.

With his abilities, plus also mastering the Concealing Breath Mantra, he should have been able to shake off the pursuers in the battlefield after a few circuits.

But after several near captures and being encircled, he realized that there might be some tracking imprint on him.

Especially when he faced Dried Toad head-on multiple times, that induction from deep within his blood further confirmed his suspicions.

With his personality.

He naturally would not allow such residual poison to linger in his body.

Thus, from that time, he tried to cleanse the imprint from his body using both the Visible and Hidden powers of the Qi Blood Change.

It was also through this constant pursuit that Wang Yuan kept realizing insights until he finally stepped into the threshold of transforming power.

By then, he had finally understood who Dried Toad was and why he could find him time and time again.

Wang Yuan was certainly not one to sit idly by and await death!

While clearing the traces of the Huo Family’s bloodline from himself using the hastily deduced Blood Transforming Demon Finger, he also changed his location.

In the end, the roles of the hunted and hunter were reversed!

From Dried Toad leading the pursuit against him, it became him alone chasing down the other party.

Sometimes he would strike from a distance and flee, or break them one by one, eventually completely dismantling their encirclement.

If Dried Toad hadn’t secretly enlisted two more helpers,

Wang Yuan alone could have wiped them all out!

Besides, even if Luo Chen did not arrive, Wang Yuan was confident of a 30 percent chance to go down together with Dried Toad, Yang Wei, and Yan Leizi!

I digress.

Back to the Flame Imprint.

“Using blood essence as the primer, divine soul as the link, and supplementing with pure spirit power, only in this way can it be used,” Luo Chen said as he looked at the drop of foul-smelling fresh blood on the ground.

With a flick of his fingers, he used the Cleaning Technique to incinerate it.

“The Blood Transforming Demon Finger can dissolve this imprint, but it requires enough time since my proficiency in this technique is nowhere near as powerful as Wang Yuan’s,” he said.

“Time…” Luo Chen murmured to himself.

Below his placid exterior, a trace of unease and urgency was hidden.

Yan Leizi’s identity had been made crystal clear before his death.

The son of the Flame Alliance Elder Di Wanyun.

It’s an unshakable truth that attacking the lesser will provoke the greater, just like when a child in primary school is bullied, the parents would go to the school themselves.

Not long ago, after the Luo Tian Creed cultivators suffered heavy losses, Luo Chen, the “elder,” personally took action.

Now, after killing people like Dried Toad and Yan Leizi with Wang Yuan, he had avenged people like Li Yingzhang as well.

Therefore,

It was inevitable for Di Wanyun to seek revenge.

This time, Luo Chen certainly wouldn’t allow the same situation with Dried Toad Huo Quan to repeat itself.

But at the moment, he lacked the strength to completely eliminate the threat.

Thus, the most pressing matter was to remove the brow imprint first to avoid being tracked down.

“With my proficiency in Blood Transforming Demon Finger, I can only remove the blood essence primer, and must take my time with it,” he considered.

“However, I have another option!”

With a thought, Luo Chen used the Cleaning Technique for the first time since his Foundation Establishment, performing it with his fingers in the usual spellcasting gesture!

As a First Order Technique, the Cleaning Technique is extremely widely taught, with almost every cultivator knowing a thing or two about it.

The only difference is in the level of mastery.

Luo Chen’s proficiency in this Technique had already reached an unparalleled level.

After performing the Technique, not only could it remove dirt and dust, but even foreign energies as well.

He had once, during his Qi Refinement Stage, used it to expel the Foundation Establishment Stage Pure Spirit Power Imprint left by Mi Shuhua on him.

He had also casually dismissed other Techniques, Ghost Qi, and Yin Energy.

Once he moved on to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he still practiced this Technique now and then.

Others assumed he had a penchant for cleanliness,

little did they know, he felt that even if the Technique reached Perfection, there was still potential to be tapped.

Just as with the Fireball Technique, a basic Technique that after being perfected, could still be continuously refined, eventually leading him to develop an infinitely stacking power Technique called the “Fierce Sun Technique.”
