Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1171: Chapter 455: Core Formation!_5 Chapter 1171: Chapter 455: Core Formation!_5 Luo Chen sighed.

Standing at the grand entrance, his gaze pierced through the thick clouds, as if he was overlooking the majestic Immortal City below the mountain.

The cultivators, like ants, passed beneath the corner of his eye.

Standing at the entrance, the tranquil Luo Chen, after many years, opened his Attribute Panel.

The transparent light curtain, like the waterfall of Tianlan Peak, slowly unfolded before him.

“This panel, it seems it hasn’t been fully opened for quite some time.”

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

He found that as his realm grew higher, the frequency of opening the panel had decreased.

In the past, he would examine it after every breakthrough in realm to reflect on the past, assess the present, and plan for the future.

But the last time he opened it was when he was at the Eighth Level of Foundation Establishment.

Now, looking again, he had reached the finalization of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even his age, which he always felt was still young, had unconsciously reached ninety years old.

“I’m old!”

Luo Chen mocked himself.

If outsiders heard him, they would probably be dying to stab him with a sword.

Ninety years old at the finalization of Foundation Establishment Stage–that was an insane speed of cultivation!

It’s likely that only those Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators who claim to establish a foundation in ten years and form a core in a hundred could compare.

Luo Chen was somewhat self-satisfied, knowing what he had paid for such a cultivation progress.

After a bit of self-mocking humor, Luo Chen glanced at the lifespan limit.

Two hundred years!

That was somewhat unexpected.

Previously, when he was at the eighth level of foundation establishment, it was just one hundred seventy. After rising two minor levels, it should have only increased by twenty years.

“Perhaps it’s related to the period when I was healing my injuries and absorbing a large number of lower order demon beasts’ vitality?”

Luo Chen made a reasonable guess but did not delve deeper.

Things like lifespan limits, as long as it’s not close to the danger line, he was no longer so concerned about them.

After all, as far as he knew, even the cultivators of Divine Transformation Stage in the Mountain Sea Realm can’t achieve immortality.

Continuing to diligently cultivate is the right path!

His gaze slid downwards, pausing on the words “Ancient Desolation Third Order” and “The Flow of All Things” relating to the Body Refinement Stage.

Since returning from Accumulation Thunder Mountain, his progress in body refinement and this body refinement method had been minimal.

The reason was simple.

Lack of the external force necessary for body refinement.

Power of Thunder was hard to find, and even when Heavenly Thunder occurred, it did not last.

That’s what created this awkward situation.

However, Luo Chen had already devised a solution to this situation.

That was to use the Original Source True Fire for Body Refinement!

From the beginning, the core concept of “The Flow of All Things” was Fire as a substitute for Thunder, using Thunder for body refinement.

Now that Thunder was hard to find, he could completely return to the essence, cultivate the Fire Roc True Body, and refine the body through fire.

Moreover, the Prosperity and Decline Fire also indeed had its own subtleties; it could incinerate the vitality of living beings and devour it.

However, there’s no need to rush at the moment.

The immediate priority is to form a core.

Body refinement matters can be discussed after the success or failure of forming a core.

Having spent a considerable amount of achievement points to draw on Luo Chen’s accumulation and deduce this excellent cultivation method, Luo Chen wouldn’t allow “The Flow of All Things” to be buried without making use of it.

In fact, he already had many sporadic, clever ideas for perfecting the specific steps of this cultivation method.

The previous effects were good, but somewhat crude.

Speaking of forming a core, it is necessary to mention those two secret techniques.

Ten years of major cultivation!

“Bead Curtain Lock” and “Wind-Calming Wave” had both reached the Grandmaster level, just a step away from finalization.

But it was this one step that was impossible to cross.

Especially “Bead Curtain Lock” which had been stuck at [999/1000] for a while now.

Even if Luo Chen deliberately scattered the Spirit Beads and then repeatedly retrained, it was still impossible to progress.

Luo Chen’s guess was that it probably had something to do with forming a core.

Only by fully integrating those 365 Spirit Beads into a Golden Core would the secret technique be considered complete.

After all, the technique is divided into three steps, and Luo Chen had only managed to push the first two steps to their limit.

The third step is integration.

Luo Chen hadn’t yet tried this.

He also didn’t dare to rashly attempt it, as it meant having to take the final step completely.

Not just the last step of the secret technique, but also the last step of the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Having focused on these aspects, there wasn’t much else to say.

It was just the accumulation and improvements from the past decades.

Technique proficiency increased, pill techniques finalized, and a new Third Order Technique was learned.

Ah!

His level as a Pill Refiner, after successfully creating Third Order Nether Origin Pills, had advanced to a Third Order Pill Refiner!

This was good news.

And it was anticipated good news.

In the end, it was about the achievement points.

To master the Nether Origin Pill, he had abruptly spent forty achievement points.
