Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1131: Chapter 444: The Number One Person in Yu Ding Foundation Establishment! Chapter 1131: Chapter 444: The Number One Person in Yu Ding Foundation Establishment! Blue thunder loomed, Nether Sea Life Origin!

Such phenomena were exactly the signs of a successful Nether Origin Pill refinement.

The vision was minor, due to the integration of the top-grade ingredient, Blue Thunder Flower, parts of the Power of Thunder not being fully refined and manifesting externally.

If the proficiency of this pill reached perfection, even these slight phenomena would not appear.

By then, the medicinal efficacy could be completely and utterly concealed.

It was evident that the Nether Origin Pill Luo Chen had refined was only of the third-order lower grade.

But!

Even if it was just of the third-order lower grade, it was enough to shake the hearts and minds of all.

A twenty percent chance!

Taking this pill to attempt the Golden Core Period would increase the success rate by twenty percent.

For those who were struggling at the Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization or even the Ninth Level Foundation Establishment, this elixir was more tempting than any rare treasure.

As they watched the four round and dark elixir pills, a look of greed surged in their eyes.

But soon, Fu Jiusheng suppressed the greed in his eyes.

His voice was raspy as he spoke, “Four? Are there only four pills?”

This question immediately captured everyone’s attention.

After all, there were five of them!

Four pills–didn’t that mean one person would not receive a Nether Origin Pill?

Nobody wanted to be that person!

In an instant, everyone became wary of each other.

Yet, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Luo Chen simply shook his head and smiled.

“Of course it’s not just four pills. The actual number of successful pills is five. It’s just that I had already packed mine away in advance.”

“These four are for you.”

As he spoke, he casually tossed them.

The four Nether Origin Pills transformed into a streak of Liuguang, each flying towards one of the four.

Pill in hand.

The four of them couldn’t wait to examine the Nether Origin Pills in their hands, their entranced gazes almost seemed to melt into flowing tenderness.

“The matter here is settled!”

“My friends, let’s be on our way!”

Luo Chen smiled faintly, his brows hinting at a touch of weariness.

After all, he had been refining Nether Origin Pills for five days and nights without rest.

Even though he hadn’t participated in any fights and maintained his best condition throughout the journey,

But!

Just as he took a step forward, Luo Chen’s expression darkened.

The path to the exit was blocked by those four people.

“My friends, what is the meaning of this?”

Lady You Sha put away the Nether Origin Pill she held and greedily looked at Luo Chen.

“Five pills?”

“One for each person, what a coincidence!”

“Although I don’t dabble in the Dao of Alchemy, I understand that from a single furnace’s raw materials, typically more than ten pills can be made. Friend Lianyun surely prepared more than a dozen sets of raw materials before refining the Nether Origin Pills.”

“Master Dan Chenzi, I suspect you have hidden more Nether Origin Pills!”

Faced with this accusation, Luo Chen laughed out of sheer anger.

You admit you know nothing about the Dao of Alchemy, yet you have the audacity to make such wild statements.

There are few in the world who like him, can refine a strange elixir successfully on the first attempt.

And you dare talk about an even greater number of successful pills?

This time, he truly maintained the integrity of a gentleman, without hiding anything.

Five pills, indeed only five.

Such boundary-breaking elixirs often concentrate extremely horrifying medicinal power into a single pill,

Thus, their medicinal properties are wild and domineering, unsuitable for cultivation purposes.

Like the Emperor Liquor he used for his Foundation Establishment breakthrough, a single batch of raw materials only produced three servings of Emperor Liquor.

Considering a beginner’s proficiency, a success rate of ten percent,

One portion or ten, there’s actually no difference.

This Nether Origin Pill was inferred by a Divine Transformation Great Power to yield five pills in a single batch, which was already beyond his expectations.

These laymen dare to fantasize about more Nether Origin Pill!

But!

He had anticipated this possibility.

The greed of human hearts is often boundless.

He reined in his smile, his expression calmly turning towards the other three.

“Do you all share the same opinion?”

Facing his eerily calm demeanor, the three felt somewhat uneasy.

Fu Jiusheng was the first to speak out.

Gripping the Nether Origin Pill Luo Chen had given him, he said earnestly, “I’m not obstructing the way, it’s merely a precaution.”

“Given my lifespan, I can at most attempt Core Formation once in this lifetime. Now that I have a Nether Origin Pill in hand, one is enough for me.”

“Whatever happens next is none of my concern!”

As he spoke, he carefully pocketed the Nether Origin Pill, then beckoned with his hand.

From a corner, Array Flags flew towards him, followed by the Array Disk, which also whirled back into his hand.

After stowing everything away, he bowed towards Luo Chen.

“I thank you, friend, for the favor of pill refinement!”

After finishing, he didn’t wait for Lady You Sha to try and keep him. He quickly retreated,

Vanishing into the pitch-black corridor they had come through in the blink of an eye.

Nobody expected Fu Jiusheng to leave so decisively, without the slightest hint of attachment.

Even Luo Chen revealed a hint of surprise on his calm face.

The worst scenario he had envisioned was facing off against four people.

Among the four, the one he was most wary of was not The Great Elder Lianyun, who wielded the Soul Breaking Three Nails, nor Rogue Cultivator Xiao, who had mastery over Divine Soul Attacks, nor Lady You Sha, who was only at the Ninth Level Foundation Establishment.

It was Fu Jiusheng!

His apprehension towards Fu Jiusheng stemmed not only from his Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization, but also his mastery of the Array that had only revealed the tip of the iceberg.

Array, always the best strategy for the weak to overcome the strong!

Even with Luo Chen’s numerous secrets and abundant combat experience, facing Min Longyu in a battle with prior preparation would not guarantee him victory.

Now that Fu Jiusheng had left so freely,

It relieved Luo Chen of a hidden concern.

With that, only two others who had yet to state their stance remained.
