Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1783: Chapter 660: Heaven and Earth Spirits, The Trouble of Tai Sui

On the uneven cliffs, iron trees stood tall.

On the iron trees, branches and vines spread out, and at this moment, a bright and sinister flower bloomed.

Looking closely, what flower was this? It was clearly a giant serpent flicking its tongue.

”Black King, well done!”

Luo Chen’s praise echoed, and Black King let out a couple of soft hisses, seemingly quite proud.

Indeed, the Blackgold Viper that swallowed Luo Chen was in fact a disguise of Black King.

Towards the two demons by his side, Luo Chen was generous.

Whether it be magical treasures and pills, or even some practical techniques, he would pass them on to them.

Like the ”Concealing Breath Mantra” that Luo Chen frequently used in his early days, Black King and Tian Xuan had started learning it long ago.

Their cultivation progress varied, yet Black King showed exceptional talent in this aspect!

It might be related to his awakened innate demon technique, the Devouring Divine Power; Black King had long cultivated this technique to a level comparable to Luo Chen’s early Finalization, possessing the mystical ability of breath concealment and invisibility.

This was also why Luo Chen dared to let Black King scout Purple Spirit Island alone back then.

Not only was Black King’s strength greater than Tian Xuan’s, but he was also better able to conceal his own breath and disguise himself.

This time, Black King explored this world ahead of time, constantly activating the breath-concealing technique.

Upon discovering this nest of Third Order Vipers, and under Luo Chen’s instructions, he boldly collected the relevant breath, disguised himself as a Blackgold Viper, and mingled among the snakes.

Just like when Luo Chen had disguised himself as a Demon Wolf to explore the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.

Moreover, Black King himself originated from a type of serpent, giving him a natural advantage.

With such advantages, the subsequent operations became simpler.

During one of the Moyun Cave Lord’s ”reckless moves,” Black King provoked the Blackgold Viper swarm into a massive movement, leading the three off course to the territory guarded by the Fourth Order Exotic Beast, the Nine Yang Golden Eagle.

And Luo Chen’s arrangements clearly didn’t end there.

”Tian Xuan, are you alright?”

Inside the Spirit Beast Bag, Tian Xuan’s light cough could be heard.

”That golden eagle is neither a demon nor a savage beast, yet extremely powerful. Fortunately, over the years, I’ve cultivated the Ninety Thousand Miles technique you taught me to Completion Stage, otherwise, I might not have lasted until you got here.”

”You’ve worked hard.” After a word of comfort, Luo Chen asked again, ”Can you still fight?”

”Yes!”

Receiving a definite answer, Luo Chen revealed a satisfied smile.

Though perhaps heartless, the exploration of the ancient relics this time was fraught with danger, and Luo Chen had to utilize all available powers.

To this end, sacrifice couldn’t be avoided.

After confirming the condition of the two demons, Luo Chen focused all his attention on his two companions who were fervently fighting.

Facing the Fourth Order Golden Eagle, Ding Yi and the Moyun Cave Lord were both exerting their abilities.

The first to catch the eye was the Moyun Cave Lord.

This person’s many methods were astonishing.

Golden Silk Net, sharp Flying Sword, one after another, single-use Explosive Beads, countless banners and pikes.

These items, though perhaps not of high order, were numerous and repeatedly deployed, against the golden eagle’s frequent attacks.

Luo Chen was dazzled and even shocked.

”Does the Moyun Cave Lord have such abundant Qi Power to control so many magic items!”

Even if not wielded simultaneously, using each item so skillfully was astounding.

For this meant each magic item had undergone considerable time in preparation.

Furthermore, an immensely deep Divine Soul Endowment was required to achieve this level.

In a short time, the Moyun Cave Lord launched attacks with seven or eight magic items against the golden eagle, showing no signs of decline.

Han Zhan’s voice was heard, ”He shouldn’t have refined every magic item completely; even we Nascent Soul Stage cultivators wouldn’t waste so much Qi Power to refine numerous items.”

Luo Chen was puzzled, ”Then how does he explain being able to control so many magic items, and with a seemingly endless stance.”

Han Zhan pondered, ”I’ve heard before that in Tian Fan City, there used to be a Myriad Treasures Formation that could refine more magic items with a single use of Qi Power, capable of using hundreds, even thousands of items. This method is especially suited for those with substantial wealth.”

”A single use of Qi Power, refining more magic items, even up to thousands?” Luo Chen’s eyelids twitched wildly. Could such a mystical array exist in this world?

Over the years, he had collected many powerful magic items, restricted by Qi Power and Divine Soul limitations, and lacking the energy to perfect them, he couldn’t bear to sell them and could only keep them shelved.

If this kind of array could be mastered, wouldn’t it be...

For a moment, his heart was moved.

Han Zhan seemed to sense Luo Chen’s eagerness and chuckled, ”Don’t think about it. Such a mystical array has its stringent limitations.”

”Oh?”

”First, the practitioner must have an extremely thorough understanding of the magic items to be refined, and it’s best if crafted personally for optimal results. Secondly, once incorporated into this array, all magic items lose any future advancement opportunities, and their innate power can’t be perfectly utilized.”

Just hearing these points made Luo Chen frown.

And upon hearing the third limitation, Luo Chen abandoned the idea entirely.

”Finally, the Myriad Treasures Formation requires long-term maintenance, and the Qi Power it consumes may not necessarily be less. This Moyun Cave Lord, having been at Golden Core Seventh Level for so many years, could very well be affected by the long-term upkeep of this array.”

Luo Chen sighed, feeling a bit regretful.

The Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, those skilled in every technique must have remarkable abilities.
