Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1511: Chapter 561: The Innocent Commoner Carries The Blame For Possessing Jade_3 Chapter 1511: Chapter 561: The Innocent Commoner Carries The Blame For Possessing Jade_3 “Yes, the benefits I’ve offered are already plentiful. If I give more, she herself wouldn’t be able to handle it. An innocent man incurs no blame, but one who possesses a jade will be held guilty. Excessive benefits might instead lead her to encounter difficulties.”

At this point in the hall, the tone paused for a moment.

After a long while, a deep sigh was heard.

“After all, resources in this region are too scarce; I am ultimately bound to leave.”

…

After returning to the Flying Swallow Islands, Luo Chen rested for a full half month before he fully recovered.

During that half month, he first slept for two days to regain his spirit.

Then, he began healing!

The sudden battle with Jin Ao, though having only suffered superficial wounds, had left no time to deal with them properly during the arduous journey, relying solely on his body’s strong regenerative abilities to heal naturally.

Now that he had the time, Luo Chen’s healing techniques and miraculous elixirs went hand in hand, and within half a month, he was restored to his former self.

Such quick recovery also greatly surprised Han Zhan.

What he didn’t know was that Luo Chen’s physique was not only overtly domineering; internally, due to the refinement by Prosperity and Decline True Fire of many demon beasts, it possessed immense vitality.

Even though he wasn’t yet able to regenerate blood and re-grow limbs, his recovery rate far exceeded that of an average Body Refiner.

The injuries inflicted by a Third-Order top-notch Great Demon King were just trivial in his eyes.

Once recovered from the injuries, Luo Chen commenced his usual cultivation.

Having advanced to the fourth layer of Golden Core and stepping into the Middle Stage Realm; it had only been a year since the calculation.

However, during that year, due to the collection of the Third-Order Demon Crab King, he had not cultivated seriously, especially since the situation was complicated and there was no suitable Third Order Spirit Land available.

Now with leisure time available, how could he remain idle?

In the Cultivation Room.

Wearing a loose, white Daoist robe, Luo Chen sat cross-legged in meditation, his hands gesturing the Spiritual Secrets’ hand signs, his lips moving silently.

Billows of “surging” Spirit Qi, from the outside into his body, transformed into absolutely pure Fire System Magical Power under the operation of the “Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra.”

Inside the Sea of Qi, a red Golden Core spun round and round.

A small tripod sat firmly at its foot, immovable like a mountain.

A pair of feathered wings like that of a bird, joyously flew freely around the Sea of Qi. Thanks to Luo Chen’s majestic Qi Power, and after over twenty years of tempering, these Breaking Moon Wings had already shed impurities, not only stabilizing at the Lower Order but also showing faint signs of ascending.

If they really could ascend, that would spell another piece of good news for Luo Chen.

It would mean that his flying speed would be greatly elevated.

At full speed, not even a Third-Order Late-Stage Great Demon King would be his match, and if he improved further, even Late Golden Core Stage Human Cultivators wouldn’t even come close to catching up to him.

Of course, all these were merely secondary paths.

The most critical was his own cultivation.

“Sigh…”

A white Qi dragon spewed out from Luo Chen’s mouth as he ceased his Spiritual Secrets, slowly opening his eyes.

A hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

Having enjoyed the Three-Order top-notch Spiritual Vein, the Third-Order Lower Grade Spirit Vein on Yao Yue Island seemed quite mediocre to him.

What others found to be an invigorating density of Spirit Qi, he felt as if he was “struggling to breathe!”

The path of the Immortal Cultivator emphasized Wealth, Companion, Method, Land.

He had a top-notch cultivation technique and Han Zhan, a good teacher by his side, in addition to the batch of Ascendant Grade True Flame Pills he made. One could say his cultivation conditions were almost maxed out.

However, “almost” is not “quite.”

The shortcoming lay in the “Land.”

What immortality do Immortal Cultivators cultivate?

Looking closely, it’s just a person and a mountain.

The mountain is the Spirit Land.

Sadly, among the four vital elements, he lacked the most important one, the Spirit Land.

It was indeed a great regret.

“According to current conditions, it would take me at least twenty years to reach the fifth layer,” Luo Chen murmured.

Twenty years, for the Luo Chen who had just initiated Core Formation, seemed an unimaginable speed.

Consider the fact that he took ten years just to consolidate his domain.

But now, Luo Chen only felt dissatisfaction.

The “Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra” allowed him to specialize in the Dao of Fire, possessing a cultivation speed comparable to a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator.

However, a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator is said to establish foundation in ten years, form a core in a hundred years, and reach Nascent Soul in two hundred years.

If he, Luo Chen, needed twenty years just to progress through the fourth layer of Golden Core, how many years would the increasingly difficult minor realms ahead require?

Thirty? Forty? Fifty?

Or a hundred years?

If every minor realm required a substantial amount of time, wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain?

Even if he could reach Golden Core Finalization before his lifespan ended, what about Nascent Soul Formation?

Luo Chen was always accustomed to preparing for a rainy day, thinking ahead before doing anything.

In the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, he had already been scheming for Core Formation resources.

He didn’t want to wait until Golden Core Finalization to search the ends of the earth for Nascent Soul Formation Techniques.

Therefore, some things must be prepared in advance.

And to do those things, naturally, he needed to carve out more time aside from cultivation.

“Leaving the Flying Swallow Islands has already become imperative.”

“Not only for a better Third Order Spirit Land but also for elixirs! I have long been able to refine Top Grade True Flame Pills, yet I can only consume Ascendant Grade True Flame Pills because of the impoverished resource environment here that has limited me.”

The Flying Swallow Islands provided a comfortable environment for cultivation, but it clearly did not meet Luo Chen’s needs.

Even the Spirit Land of the Luo Tian Sect that he had personally forged in the Xiao Yue Mountain Range had an environment close to a Third-Order Middle-tier Spirit Qi, let alone the mere Flying Swallow Islands.

However, before leaving, some preparations had to be made.

For a Pill Refiner, preparations for a long journey naturally meant elixirs.

Particularly, since he was likely going to deal with Golden Core Cultivators as a Pill Refinement Grandmaster, it was essential to prepare some elixirs in advance to showcase his Pill Refinement Technique.

Hence.

After Luo Chen emerged from his seclusion, the long-quiet Yao Yue Island once again bustled with refining tasks.

And this time, the elixirs Luo Chen refined were not limited to just True Flame Pill.

Emperor Liquor, Jade Dew Pill, Tongyou Pill, Black Emperor Ointment…and the Starry Pill!

Luo Chen was determined to forge a large quantity of various elixirs using the strength of the Flying Swallow Islands to solidify his identity as a top Pill Refinement Grandmaster!
