Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1373: Chapter 517: I’m Somewhat Looking Forward to Your Primordial Chaos Tripod Chapter 1373: Chapter 517: I’m Somewhat Looking Forward to Your Primordial Chaos Tripod The deep red Fire Spirit Drill, akin to agate, lay quietly in Luo Chen’s hand.

Inside, a drop of blood-like liquid slowly flowed within the crystal.

At first glance, it seemed alive.

On the whole, it resembled amber more than a crystal of ore material.

Such material was, in fact, not ideal for artifact refinement because it contained impurities.

But driven by some inexplicable urge, Luo Chen had taken the Fire Spirit Drill into his pocket.

It was almost an intuitive feeling.

“This is a good thing!”

Luo Chen closed the box and glanced once more at the Cangwu Mountain Treasury.

Chaotic, disordered, placed haphazardly.

Some of the precious items, even with Luo Chen’s extensive knowledge, were unrecognizable in their origins.

However, Luo Chen did not dare to take anything too valuable.

Youquan’s tolerance for him was high!

But that was only as long as he did not cross her bottom line.

Should he take something he shouldn’t, the pursuit that followed would make neither side look good.

Exiting the treasury, Luo Chen estimated the materials inside his storage ring.

“Geng Gold, Dark Heavy Wood… and a whole host of materials I’ve gathered over the years; now, even the Fire Spirit Drill is complete.”

“It’s finally time to schedule the forging of my Natal Magic Item.”

“But!”

“With my artifact refining techniques, if I were to follow the methods provided by Qingdan Valley, it would take at least a decade to produce even a basic form of a magic item.”

“That’s far too long, I can’t wait.”

“Fortunately, there’s a shortcut right in front of me now.”

Luo Chen’s lips curled into a slight smile, he left the treasury, took a turn, and headed deep down toward the foundation of Transmitting Truth Hall.

All the way down.

As he passed the negative third floor, he hesitated for a moment.

Luo Chen looked in the direction of the entrance, eventually sighed, and decided not to step inside.

That level held Hao Ranzi and others.

In his current situation, meeting them would truly be awkward.

It was better not to see them at all.

Continuing downward.

At last, he reached the negative fourth floor.

Upon arrival, he was met by an intense gaze that struck like lightning.

The owner of the gaze, even when seated cross-legged, was an enormous giant standing three meters tall.

Silver-white electrical arcs occasionally emitted from his body.

Thunder Prison Divine Roc!

A powerful entity at the Middle Stage Nascent Soul!

Rumored to possess a pure ancient bloodline of the Thunder Roc.

His closed-door cultivation here also served to suppress the Cangwu Mountain Dungeon.

A chill ran through Luo Chen’s heart as he bowed and said, “I’ve seen the Thunder Prison Lord!”

“Here again, did you bring your token?”

“I did.”

Luo Chen produced an Azure Feather.

Thunder Prison Divine Roc’s stern expression softened upon seeing the feather.

“Go in, but don’t stay too long.”

Luo Chen nodded, passed by the Thunder Prison Divine Roc, and slowly made his way toward the Dark Dungeon on the negative fourth floor.

As he passed by, continuous waves of dread pulsed in Luo Chen’s heart.

The menace he felt from the Thunder Prison Divine Roc surpassed that of Youquan, He Qingzi, and others– not to mention Han Zhan and Ao Xiao, whom he had seen before.

Over the past two years, Luo Chen’s continuous contact with the Yu Race deepened his understanding of Cangwu Mountain.

As one of the Eastern Wasteland’s rare Fifth Order Spirit Veins, it was rumored that Cangwu Mountain did not originally belong to Qi Xia Emperor.

It was forcibly taken from an Ancient Monster of God Transformation a thousand years ago, when Qi Xia Emperor rose to power.

After taking it over, Cangwu Mountain became a sacred site for the Yu Race of the Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains!

But!

Cangwu Mountain did not accept just any large Flying Beasts.

Qi Xia Emperor, eccentric in character and particularly discerning in taste, never considered realm or power when taking disciples–only bloodline purity.

The rarer and more powerful the bloodline of the Flying Beasts, the more likely she would accept them.

This led to Cangwu Mountain being akin to a Holy Land for the Human Clan, yet with very few disciples under its wing.

Though few in number, the quality was undeniable.

Luo Chen had not met the other Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, but those he had seen, such as Qing Shuang, Youquan, and Thunder Prison, were all incredible in combat.

“Speaking of which, if I had obtained a drop of the Thunder Prison Divine Roc’s Blood Essence earlier and used it for my Sky Roc Transformation, would my combat power have been even stronger?”

A sudden thought emerged.

In an instant, it was cut down within Luo Chen’s mind.

He smiled and continued walking alone through the dark corridor.

Suddenly, a light appeared.

It was a flicker of green light.

Luo Chen focused and saw a Three-Inch Figure locked within a cell, Qi Power chains piercing his body, immobilizing him.

Across from the figure was another silent, black figure.

Such a bizarre sight would have once greatly astonished Luo Chen, but now he was used to it.

As Luo Chen watched, the Three-Inch Figure also struggled to open his eyes and looked back.

“It’s indeed Young Friend Luo Chen!”

Luo Chen asked softly, with a touch of sympathy.

“Elder Han, are you doing well?”

Han Zhan glanced at the Prohibition on his body and showed a bitter smile.

“I’m afraid it’s not going well!”

Luo Chen sighed.

Elder Han’s current situation was indeed the most miserable among the Lower Order Prisoners.

His physical body destroyed, his Storage Bag and Monster-Locking Tower taken away–only his Puppet, used for dual cultivation of life and magic, remained by his side.

And the reason Youquan and others didn’t kill his Nascent Soul was quite simple.

They were keeping him as a material for refining Transforming Pills.

In other words, Han Zhan was now merely a reserve ingredient.

Once awe-inspiring and revered by thousands as a Nascent Soul True Master, now reduced to backup material, anyone would likely find it hard to bear such a fate!
