Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

After studying for a while, Luo Chen regretfully set aside “Enclosure Getaway”.

The secret technique provided by Ailao Mountain indeed had its unique aspects.

It emphasized the body as a solid enclosure, with the energy forming a Golden Core.

If one could escape the solid enclosure with the Golden Core, from then on, they would be in tune with the Great Dao.

This perfectly embodied the phrase “Once the Golden Core is swallowed into the belly, my fate is in my hands, not heaven’s”.

However!

The key point here was somewhat similar to the Dragon Phoenix Tribulation Secret Technique of the Ice Castle.

Both required external help from elixirs to form a Golden Core Seed within the body.

The preparatory steps for forming the Core were simple, as long as one had the suitable elixir.

But the success rate was not that high.

After forming the Golden Core, it was just a rudimentary Golden Core Seed, needing a certain amount of time to absorb enough Spirit Qi to reach the true Golden Core Realm.

It was far from comparable to what was described in the Bead Curtain Lock as “first possessing the characteristics of the Golden Core, and once the Core is formed, being a genuine Golden Core Ascendant Master”.

“It is said that regardless of the Doctrine used to form the Core, it only concerns the difficulty involved, not the strength after forming the Core. But from what I see now, the Great Technique of Pill Formation is indeed much stronger than the Simple Technique, though it is more difficult.”

“And I wonder what the Medium Technique of Pill Formation would be like?”

Luo Chen shook his head and put aside “Enclosure Getaway”, turning to study the “Primordial Chaos Technique” from Qingdan Valley instead.

Having been through the Dragon Phoenix Tribulation and Enclosure Getaway, both Simple Techniques of Core Formation, Luo Chen didn’t have high expectations for the similarly classified Primordial Chaos Technique.

However, it was always good to have more knowledge.

What if there was something useful in there?

Besides studying the Core Formation Secret Techniques, there were other things to do daily.

Supplementing the diet for Body Refinement, becoming familiar with the Sky Roc True Body Transformation, and occasionally personally crafting a large batch of elixirs.

And his Spirit Power had already recovered, moving into well-ordered cultivation.

Time slipped by quietly as Luo Chen cultivated in seclusion.

…

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.

A hundred miles away from the former land of the Geng Family, in the midst of a barren mountain devoid of Spirit Qi.

For some reason, a dense fog had spread at dawn today.

Initially, it was thought to be just normal morning mist.

But as the morning sun rose, the thick fog remained, shrouding everything, and the cultivators hidden inside knew something was wrong.

They tried to break out only to find themselves already trapped in a maze.

On the outside of the barren mountain.

Three figures stood quietly, all Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!

If someone approached, they would realize that these three individuals were high-ranking members of the Luo Tian Creed.

Elder Min Longyu, Elder Su Xiaolin of the Luo Tian Intelligence Net, and Lord Wang Yuan of the Chuan Gong Hall.

“Over the past year, there has been no shortage of thieves spying on our Luo Tian Creed!”

“It’s thanks to Lord Wang’s numerous interventions that our Luo Tian Creed has remained safe.”

“The cultivators in the mountains today are quite powerful, with some being Ninth Level Foundation Establishment. If not for Elder Min’s intervention, we might have let one escape.”

Su Xiaolin sincerely marveled at the power of Min Longyu’s array.

With a level of Fourth Level Foundation Establishment, he managed to set up an array that could temporarily trap a Ninth Level Great Cultivator and two Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It was truly astonishing.

Min Longyu smiled.

His cultivation progress within the Luo Tian Creed was considered fast.

In less than twenty years, he had already entered the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment!

Apart from Chu Kui and Xu Huanzhen, two foreign cultivators, he currently had a higher realm than Wang Yuan, Duan Feng, and others.

But this was as it should be.

After all, he entered Foundation Establishment a few years earlier than the others and had mastery over arrays.

Setting up some custom-tailored auxiliary cultivation arrays for himself was no difficult task.

He casually said, “The credit is not mine alone. Elder Su’s intelligence gathering and early detection of this person gave me the opportunity to set up the Big Formation first. You should take the lead in this merit.”

Su Xiaolin humbly waved his hand.

“I owe my current position to the Foundation Establishment Pills you folks have exchanged from the battlefield.”

He had successfully formed his Foundation the previous year, outpacing Zhou Yuanli, Feng Xia, Yuan Xiaoyue, and others.

After forming his Foundation and commanding the Luo Tian Intelligence Net Department of the Combat Hall, his work was even more effective.

By now, he had become a significant asset under President Sima Huiniang.

Looking at the impatient Wang Yuan, Su Xiaolin asked, “Lord Wang, since the enemy is quite strong, should I notify the Master of Combat Hall Chu?”

After the fall of Sima Xian, Lord Wang had been acting as the Master of Combat Hall for the Luo Tian Creed.

However, three years ago, Chu Kui joined the Luo Tian Creed.

After some time of evaluation, President Sima Huiniang “personally” decided to appoint him as the Master of the Combat Hall.

This move faced some criticism below.

But the higher-ups of the Luo Tian Creed unanimously approved it, with no objections whatsoever.

After all, he was a Ninth Level Great Cultivator, a renowned Rogue Cultivator from Tian Lan Immortal City, who had even faced a Golden Core Ascendant Master.

Heading a second-rate force’s Hall Master position was more than sufficient.

In response to his question, Wang Yuan shook his head.

Su Xiaolin didn’t understand.

With Wang Yuan showing no signs of action, nor asking him to invite their own Hall Master Chu Kui, was he simply aiming to detain the Rogue Cultivators inside as a warning?

“Just wait a moment!” Wang Yuan said indifferently.

Su Xiaolin curbed his curiosity and waited quietly.

In fact, he didn’t have to wait long.

A mere few minutes later, a blue escape light arrived overhead.

Wang Yuan looked up and exchanged a glance with that person, then slowly nodded.

Then, the escape light directly plunged into the white fog-enshrouded array.

As it flew, the fog parted continuously, creating a pathway.

Watching this scene, Su Xiaolin had a thought flashing through his mind.
