Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1335: Chapter 505: A Letter from Home, War Begins! Chapter 1335: Chapter 505: A Letter from Home, War Begins! Time trickled past slowly.

A month’s time fluttered away in the blink of an eye.

As Luo Chen exhaled a long breath, specks of golden light faded into the void like an illusion, and his entire being seemed as if relieved from the weight of a mountain, instantly becoming more relaxed.

There could be no greater sense of relief than this!

“At last, I’ve purged the demonic power of the Golden Wolf King!”

Luo Chen subconsciously rubbed his chest, where he felt no more obstructions as his Qi Power circulated.

That Golden Wolf King had indeed been one of the rare but renowned Xuanjin Wolves within the Wolf Race.

This breed of Demon Wolves was known for its intelligence.

But the Golden Wolf King he’d encountered had focused on refining its Demon Body, achieving impressive results.

“It’s said that Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao is a pure-blooded Xuanjin Wolf who, after Transformation, awakened the Heavenly Wolf Bloodline and obtained its legacy. His three sons, distinct in coloration of skin and fur, are presumed to be from different mothers.”

“The Golden Wolf King excelled in Body Refinement, the Black Wolf King in Demon Techniques, and the youngest, though lacking the Xuanjin Wolf Bloodline, possessed tremendous intelligence, combining sound and Divine Soul Attacks, earning the Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao’s favor.”

“Now it seems that Luo Yun Sect’s intelligence was somewhat biased. The Golden Wolf King was far from the reckless simpleton it appeared to be. Beneath its formidable Physique Training Realm, its demonic power was equally fierce and unmatched.”

Luo Chen reflected.

Luckily, the Prosperity and Decline True Fire he had refined was of high enough Order to suppress the demonic power injected by the Golden Wolf King.

Otherwise, beset by internal and external troubles, he might have died violently on the spot!

Relying on the Dissolving Spirit Liquid and the Slaying Dragon Technique, he’d now completely eradicated the Golden Wolf’s demonic power. Additionally, with the Solid Sea Pill to stabilize his tumultuous Sea of Qi and the Pulse Supplement Pill to nourish his Meridians, his internal troubles had been thoroughly resolved.

And more!

Throughout the continuous healing process, his Proficiency with the Fourth Order Technique, the Slaying Dragon Technique, had greatly increased.

Now he had reached Mastery Level, not far from Perfection!

Achievement Points obtained: one!

This, too, could be considered an unexpected boon!

With the internal crisis averted, he could now devote his full effort to healing his external injuries.

Luo Chen assessed the state of his body; it was much improved compared to the beginning, but he still couldn’t transform into the Sky Roc True Body for a short while.

This led Luo Chen to discover a shortcoming in his Body Refinement Techniques.

The Physique cultivated by “The Flow of All Things” was strong and robust.

But overly rigid things are prone to breaking!

He could overpower those with weaker physiques than his own.

But those stronger than him could easily inflict injury, and now he was the one at a disadvantage.

To overcome this shortcoming, Luo Chen had two methods in mind.

One was to cultivate along the doctrines of Wang Yuan, understanding the nuances of Qi-Blood Change. In this way, by practicing both external and internal cultivation, blending firmness and flexibility, he could absorb external forces during severe impacts.

The second method was to rely on the Prosperity and Decline Fire, devouring vast amounts of Demon Beasts’ vitality, granting his formidable physique even stronger regenerative capabilities.

However, these two methods, while straightforward in theory, were daunting when contemplated for execution.

The former would consume time and energy, requiring a certain level of insight.

The latter represented an untold number of Demon Beast resources, or rather, “living” resources.

Any living being with strong vitality, in fact, could be refined and assimilated, such as Human Cultivators!

“For now, let’s not think about these things.”

“Better to recover from my injuries first.”

Luo Chen took out a Black Jar from his storage ring, which still contained more than half of the Black Emperor Ointment.

During the lengthy month, he periodically performed the Five Elements Return to Viscera Technique, Bone Restoration Technique, Healing Technique… He had already adjusted his viscera, Meridians, and bones.

As such, his body’s absorption efficiency for the Black Emperor Ointment had significantly increased.

It wouldn’t be long, he reckoned, before his physique could be fully restored.

Luo Chen had discovered that Luo Yun Sect’s secret medicine, Black Emperor Ointment, was remarkably effective for Body Refinement!

It had an unimaginable supportive effect!

Especially when injured, the absorption effect was even better.

It gave off an impression that if one were to completely break down and reconstitute their body, they would ascend to a higher level.

“That idea is far too dangerous!”

Luo Chen shook his head vigorously, casting the thought from his mind.

Rather than take such a risk, it would be better to find a way to trade for more Black Emperor Ointment from Luo Yun Sect to aid in Body Refinement.

Slow absorption also yielded great results!

…

“Xu Huanzhen, what brings you here?”

“The matter of the night battle at Thousand Leaves Peak has spread throughout Moon-Breaking Immortal City. I was originally in charge of the Demon Beast resource trade, and Luo Yun Sect acquired many Demon Beast corpses from that battle which they couldn’t immediately process, leaving us to profit. Also, the tales of the Supreme Elder’s deeds have caused quite a stir, and the Sect Leader was worried about you, so he sent me personally to check in.”

Xu Huanzhen carefully raised his head to look at Luo Chen, “Supreme Elder, are you alright?”

Luo Chen shook his head with a smile, “You’ve been worried, just a minor injury. It’s no longer a major issue now.”

Hearing this, Xu Huanzhen’s expression relaxed.

“That’s good to hear, that’s very good.”

Then, he continued, “The Luo Tian Alliance worries that you have no one you can use at hand, so they’ve sent another batch of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen waved his hand.

“That won’t be necessary, take them back with you when you return!”

Xu Huanzhen was puzzled.

Luo Chen offered an explanation, “This battle has cost Luo Tian Alliance dearly; the Sword Hall is unlikely to assign me any tasks for the time being. It’s important they return to guard our Spirit Lands.”

So that’s it!

Xu Huanzhen nodded in understanding.

“By the way, when you return, take Wan Ting from Wanxiang Sect and Zeng Yilong back with you, too!”
