Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1662: Chapter 611 Lu Shanjun, Slaying Dragon Technique_3

Besides that, the task of tool casting must not be neglected.

Luo Chen had calculated that even if he could not refine a Lower Grade Magic Item, as long as he could use the Liu Jia Formation to separately refine a single Magic Tool, he had confidence to refine the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis.

After all, the Defense Treasure Refining Method of the Penglai Immortal Sect emphasizes not technique, but the material itself.

Initially, his plans consisted solely of cultivation and tool casting.

But now, he had developed another idea.

With a flick of his hand, a small black banner appeared in his grasp.

”Soul Essence!”

According to legend, Soul Essence is a concentrated refinement extracted from a massive number of souls. When consumed using Secret Techniques, it can substantially enhance a cultivator’s Divine Soul Endowment.

Its efficacy stems from the fact that these soul essences lack the original consciousness of the souls’ previous owners, making them the purest manifestation of soul energy.

This draws on the principle of replenishing the form with the form, using souls to strengthen the soul.

A technique as grandiose and tyrannical as this belongs to the path of demon!

However, evidently, Luo Chen could not employ this technique at present.

First, he did not possess the corresponding Path of Demon Secret Technique.

Second, the Soul Essence within this small black banner was no longer pure enough.

It had been tainted by a considerable amount of Yan Zhixian’s consciousness!

In fact, after five years of attachment, it even bore traces of Duan Li’s Divine Soul breath.

Under no circumstances would Luo Chen dare consume it.

But being unfit for consumption did not mean it served no other purpose.

”Previously, the Finalization of the Dragon Slaying Technique exhibited a god-slaying effect, yet I have never tested it.”

”My initial idea was to imitate the method of cultivating the Soul Absorption Technique—capturing some low-order demon beast souls, infusing them into the Sea of Consciousness, and using the Dragon Slaying Technique to eliminate them. But I feared mishaps that might cause irreversible damage to my Divine Soul.”

The Divine Soul is the core of any cultivator; even the slightest mistake cannot be afforded.

Take someone as prominent as Duan Li—after sustaining damage to his Divine Soul, he was forced to take risks and seek reluctant help from Luo Chen despite their shallow acquaintance, which speaks volumes.

That was truly desperation!

But these Soul Essences are different!

Yan Zhixian is already dead; his remaining consciousness has dwindled to almost nothing. The traces of Duan Li’s Divine Soul breath are sparse as well.

If Luo Chen leveraged these Soul Essences to experiment with the Dragon Slaying Technique’s effectiveness, even failure would result in minimal repercussions.

But if it succeeded...

A brilliant glint flashed in Luo Chen’s eyes.

”That would mean that even if someone were to forcibly breach the Divine Soul defense of Lan Ke Black and White Chess and invade my Sea of Consciousness in the future, I would possess some measure of self-defense.”

Luo Chen rarely engaged in futile endeavors, particularly in Technique Cultivation.

He already had a style unique to himself.

According to his evaluation, this method seemed viable.

Thus, after settling down, Luo Chen became eager to proceed without further delay.

He instructed the Black King to monitor the changes in the Primordial Chaos Tripod. If the flames weakened, he was to add some Third Order wood. Then, Luo Chen extended his Divine Consciousness into the black banner.

A surge of Soul Essence, as if detecting sustenance, surged forward aggressively.

Without hesitation, Luo Chen withdrew his Divine Consciousness while simultaneously extracting a portion of Soul Essence and directing it into his Sea of Consciousness.

As soon as it entered.

The golden Sea of Consciousness instantly churned with waves.

Within the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, a faint soul shadow struggled arduously. Employing the essence of its Divine Soul, it activated the Dragon Slaying Technique, aiming to eliminate the portion of consciousness foreign to its body.

...

Five days later.

Wu Ruofu stood respectfully outside Luo Chen’s Cave Mansion.

Before long, a red-robed Daoist emerged from within.

Instinctively, Wu Ruofu raised his head. At the moment his gaze met Luo Chen’s eyes, his heart involuntarily jolted.

What a piercing gaze that was.

Like a blade, merely seeing it struck sharpness into one’s heart.

”Is something the matter?”

A warm voice entered his ears, and Wu Ruofu snapped back to consciousness instantly.

In a brief daze, it seemed as though nothing had happened; the eyes of the red-robed Daoist remained gentle as water.

He swallowed a gulp of saliva. ”Senior Qingyang Zi, Elder Sang has arrived, and Lord Lu Shanjun invites you over for a while.”

Elder Sang?

That should be the third Golden Core guardian of Quyang Island.

Luo Chen nodded slightly, summoned a Magic Cloud, and flew to Quyang’s main hall.

Before long, the Magic Cloud halted halfway up the mountain.

Before entering the hall, Luo Chen noticed a group of unfamiliar Foundation Establishment Cultivators outside the hall, and his brows furrowed.

”These people... They don’t seem to be Rogue Cultivators from our Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering?”
