Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1683: Chapter 618: Perfect Harmony, The Might of Blood, Learning by Analogy, A New Body Refinement Technique_3

Indeed, it is a good thing!

If the Minghuang Rock Armor can be refined successfully this time, it means his success is replicable!

Future refinements involving the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis, and even the crafting of other magic items, will become like adding wings to a tiger, eliminating the possibility of failure.

If such a feat were to be made public, it would shake the entire Immortal Cultivation World!

At that moment, Luo Chen’s attention was not on the Minghuang Rock Armor, which was currently merging with its array, but rather on his Natal Magic Item.

The Primordial Chaos Tripod, the dual cultivation artifact tied to his life, carried infinite possibilities!

...

Half a month later.

Luo Chen opened the sealed Qi shield of the Primordial Chaos Tripod and retrieved the flawless Minghuang Rock Armor from within.

Using the newly inscribed Ruyi Array, he shrunk it into a small yellow armor plate, which resembled a lump of earth.

”Qi mechanism is restrained, the array and materials are perfectly fused, with no repulsive reaction.”

”The inner Qi Armor has naturally formed, matching the descriptions of successful crafting methods from the Penglai Immortal Sect.”

”Success!”

These final calm two words revealed Luo Chen’s inner joy.

However, it was clear that his joy was not merely from the successful refinement of the magic item.

It was the wondrous efficacy of the Primordial Chaos Tripod!

At that moment, he had a strong urge to refine the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis directly.

But in the end, he restrained himself.

”The extraordinary effects of the Primordial Chaos Tripod in artifact refining—where does its upper limit truly lie? I haven’t fully explored it yet. What if it only works on ordinary materials and lower-grade magic items?”

”The previous plan must not change. Stick to the step-by-step approach.”

”No need to rush!”

With a calm heart, Luo Chen became even more composed in handling other matters.

Qi refinement, body refinement, array studies, artifact casting—every day was filled to the brim with tasks.

When the third Yimu Qingjia Formation was successfully refined in the second year, Luo Chen even made breakthroughs in body refinement through analogy.

By merging various ordinary materials, removing impurities, extracting their essence, and combining them with arrays to create a magic item of boundless power—this was the meaning of artifact refining.

But if one were to view the human body as a magic item?

Could artifact refining techniques be used to temper the physique?

Could the body itself be refined into a powerful magic item?

These insights did not arise abruptly but were born from long-term accumulation.

Simultaneously, he couldn’t shake off the image from his mind... Tian Yezi, unable to wield Nascent Soul power, using his physical body to withstand the mid-Fourth Order Thunder Prison Divine Roc!

It must be noted that body refiners in today’s Immortal Cultivation World had long faded into obscurity.

Yet Tian Yezi, even in the Nascent Soul Realm, possessed an extraordinary level of body refinement—he must have grasped the corresponding Body Refinement Methods.

If Luo Chen learned that Tian Yezi had once received a blow from the Qing Shuang Demon Emperor with just his physique, his admiration for Tian Yezi’s body refinement skills would surely rise even higher!

Of course, even without knowing this, Luo Chen began making appropriate adjustments to his Body Refinement Methods during his spare time.

The ”Myriad Paths Confluence” technique had been self-created with the aid of the system.

Even its name was later changed, reflecting the idea of drawing from countless schools to unify all methods.

Although this cultivation technique had been refined to the stage of Finalization many years ago, in Luo Chen’s view, it still held room for improvement.

He started experimenting by integrating artifact refining techniques such as the Hundred Refinement Method, Iron Refining Hand, Gold Cutting Technique, and Snow Blowing Technique.

At the same time, he used Fourth-Order Black Emperor Ointment to experimentally temper his physique.

And, if he weren’t lacking suitable arrays, he would even consider engraving some arrays onto his body.

This wasn’t an unprecedented idea; in fact, he had done so before. Presently, he still had a Concealing Array on his body that concealed mana fluctuations.

Unexpectedly.

With his continuous adjustments, while a new ”Myriad Paths Confluence” had yet to emerge, his progress in body refinement had indeed shown remarkable improvement.

Having already achieved the [Primordial Third Order 78/100] level, his progress bar now increased at a faster pace, approaching eighty percent.

It could be imagined that the Primordial Fourth Order wasn’t far ahead!

...

While Luo Chen focused on artifact refining and cultivation, external interest in him grew even stronger.

Because the Minghuang Rock Armor had been placed on the shelves of Qingyang Store.

It was hailed as the store’s treasure, priced at an outrageous fifty thousand Spirit Stones!

Due to this exorbitant price and Master Qingyang Zi’s subsequent involvement, it became the center of countless attention during the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.
