Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1640: Chapter 604 What is a True Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator?_3

Luo Chen fused the foundational tool-casting techniques of the Eastern Wasteland and North Sea’s Immortal Cultivation realms, combined several refining diagrams of magical tools and treasures, and supplemented it with years of diligent study in array techniques to maintain high output and superior quality in his tool-casting.

But Luo Chen was well aware.

With his current mastery, attempting to refine the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis was nothing short of wishful thinking.

Failure didn’t scare him.

What he feared was wasting the ”Mysterious Rock Shell.”

”I still need to consolidate further!”

With a sigh, Luo Chen put away the attribute panel.

As for the sections on pill refinement, medicine, and arrays, he hadn’t studied them much.

The first two had merely become more solid over the years but showed little growth.

The last, the array section, he reviewed frequently and already knew it intimately.

In fact, he had already started studying the high-level arrays required to refine the Mysterious Rock Shell.

Before closing the attribute panel, Luo Chen glanced at the number of achievement points he had accumulated.

[Achievement Points: 207]

An unprecedentedly colossal figure!

Faced with this, Luo Chen merely smiled knowingly.

With his current knowledge, unparalleled intellect, and cultivation realm, he could already master common cultivation methods and secret techniques without needing achievement points.

Unless it was a cultivation method or secret technique entirely beyond his realm, or a high-level pill formula, otherwise, these points were of little use to him.

”Save them—for the more, the better.”

With a faint laugh, Luo Chen turned and entered the grand hall of his residence.

Unlike the simple and austere cave mansion most imagine, the hall where Luo Chen lived was extraordinarily magnificent.

Above hung a celestial vision of circulation star formations; upon closer scrutinization, it was composed of radiant pearls representing the Five Elements.

The floor was paved with pristine Xuan Yu jade, as though faint wisps of white smoke ascended from it.

Massive beams crafted from thousand-year-old trees stretched throughout the great hall, connecting heaven with earth.

Golden threads weaved intricate patterns that extended from the jade, beams, ceiling, and pearls, forming specialized array markings.

Moreover, the hall was adorned with screens, meditation cushions, bonsai landscapes, flowing rock formations, and cascading water.

Such opulence carried both the majestic grandeur of mortal royalty and the otherworldly beauty of immortal artistry, leaving anyone who entered speechless.

It wasn’t that Luo Chen sought extravagance.

In truth, this layout carried deeper significance!

Luo Chen had invested no less than a million Spirit Stones to create this hall.

The array markings spreading through the hall extended across the entire eight hundred li territory of Penghu.

If one were to use Divine Consciousness to encompass all of Penghu, they would discover three thousand six hundred small locations scattered throughout, each with array flags planted.

This was the Vein-Gathering Quality-Improvement Array meticulously crafted for him by Han Zhan.

Utilizing methods from the Luo Yun Sect complemented by Dark Abyss Sect’s secret techniques!

Thus, the Peng Island Star Hall was forged into a third-order ascendant-grade spirit land!

To aid Luo Chen in cultivating at full speed!

Upon entering, Luo Chen removed his high crown, took off the jade hairpin that bound his hair, and shed his white robe.

He let his long black hair cascade freely down his back.

Lighting a stick of calming and focusing sandalwood incense, he leisurely sat cross-legged on the golden meditation cushion.

He spread black ointment across his body, then placed an ascendent-grade True Flame Pill in his mouth and activated his natal Qi technique.

A massive influx of Heaven and Earth Qi visibly gathered, starting from the entirety of eight hundred li Penghu, converging in the Star Hall, and finally transforming into a white dragon-like stream of Qi that Luo Chen devoured.

If not for the array’s masking effects, this scene would undoubtedly cause a great commotion.

Even the Core Formation process of an average Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn’t compare.

Yet Luo Chen’s mind was as tranquil as a still lake, as if the pain caused by the Black Emperor Ointment simply didn’t exist.

Pill refinement and tool-casting might be external matters, but cultivation remained the essence.

This quality spirit land was one of only two he had achieved over his century-long cultivation journey.

He was determined not to waste even a single day of it.

...

Meanwhile, in the rugged ravines of the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, atop a cloudy, towering peak—

A luxurious cloud chariot pierced through the fog and made its slow descent onto the mountaintop.

Stepping off the cloud chariot was Mo Yun Cave Lord, who hadn’t yet received the greetings of his disciples before his brows furrowed slightly.

”Still haven’t left?”

Moments later, a man with woven gold cloud boots and a purple Daoist robe emerged leisurely from the mist.

His eyes radiated an electric brilliance that pierced into the soul.

When he saw Mo Yun Cave Lord, he cupped his hands respectfully in greeting.

”Daoist Mo Yun, in your recent trip to Penghu, did you meet the Master of Eight Hundred Li Penghu?”
