Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”The Alchemy Realm?”

Luo Chen murmured the two words on the gray-white stone tablet, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

”Could it be that this star passage is pointing to a heritage land related to alchemy?”

As soon as this thought emerged, Luo Chen was convinced it was true.

Previously, outside, he vaguely felt that among the thirteen paths, two emitted a strong attraction to him.

If viewed differently, if the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch were selecting the most suitable successor for his Daoist lineage, naturally it would be someone who is highly compatible with a certain heritage.

And for Luo Chen, among all his skills, his highest proficiency was in the Pill Refinement Technique.

Even at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, he had already reached a Fourth Order Pill Refiner level!

Even in the Mountain Sea Realm, he is the most gifted existence, without any rival!

He can truly be called a Grandmaster of his era!

Realizing this, Luo Chen felt somewhat complex inside.

In terms of Pill Refinement, his proficiency was already sufficiently high.

Whether during the Golden Core Period or even in the future Nascent Soul Stage, he felt he was already more than adequate.

Further progress might not bring much improvement to his cultivation itself.

This is also why, after coming to the North Sea, he focused on Body Refinement and Artifact Refining, studying techniques and arts, but he wasn’t as invested in Pill Refinement as during his time in the Eastern Wasteland. He simply continued to refine the elixirs he had already accomplished before.

If it’s enough, why push for more?

Now, with an opportunity for inheritance right before him, he was more inclined towards other areas...

”Forget it!”

”Since I’m here, might as well make the best of it!”

”Considering my proficiency in Pill Refinement, I should have no problem passing the Alchemy Realm Trial.”

Luo Chen set aside his feelings of regret and adjusted his mindset.

The Heritage Land was rumored to be exceptionally perilous, and even though this Alchemy Realm seemed peaceful, who knew if there might be hidden dangers?

Luo Chen first checked on his own condition.

His Qi Power flowed smoothly, his magic items were ready for use at any time, although the Qi Power of the Second Prime Elixir was slightly depleted and needed some time to repair.

The storage ring could still be opened, and as for the Spirit Beast Bag...

As Luo Chen was about to open the Spirit Beast Bag to summon the Black King Tian Xuan to scout for him, he suddenly discovered that the bag was sealed by some invisible force, making it impossible to open in this realm.

Luo Chen frowned, ”Could it be that they don’t want any external assistance during inheritance?”

Shaking his head, Luo Chen immediately sat cross-legged before the stone tablet.

Before exploring the Alchemy Realm, there was still something he needed to handle.

With a thought, his Qi Power surged and pulsed.

As the Qi Power flowed, an unusual force began to stir within Luo Chen.

Soon enough!

An anomaly appeared.

Gazing at the mushroom-like growth on his shoulder, Luo Chen’s face darkened slightly.

The Tai Sui Force!

This strange force would greatly siphon his Qi Power to generate mushrooms, lingzhi, and other foreign objects.

Luo Chen even sensed that once his Qi Power was exhausted, his blood, flesh vitality, and even his soul might be absorbed, becoming nutrients for the mushrooms.

”Sinister methods, bizarre powers.”

Muttering, Luo Chen slowly closed his eyes, spreading his Divine Consciousness throughout every corner of his body.

Then, the Prosperity and Decline True Fire slowly spread, enveloping Luo Chen’s entire body.

In this gradual burning, the sinister power remnants of the Tai Sui clone were being continuously refined.

Any ordinary person wouldn’t dare use True Fire to burn themselves like this.

But Luo Chen was different; his physique, as strong as a savage beast, had already been tempered day and night through fire.

”Indeed, my enhanced Prosperity and Decline True Fire truly restrains the Tai Sui force to some extent.”

”Had I recklessly continued to devour Fire Spirits back then, reaching the level of a Vermilion Bird Spirit, even the Tai Sui wouldn’t dare provoke me easily.”

”However...”

He pursed his lips, not dwelling on these events that had never happened.

Luo Chen calmed his mind, persevering in refining the strange force within him.

...

Several days later.

The Red-Robed Daoist leisurely strolled amidst the green mountains and clear waters, feeling relaxed and carefree.

He wasn’t flying, just walking steadily on the ground at a moderate pace.

This person was none other than Luo Chen, who had dispelled the Tai Sui force.

The reason for his carefree journey was the exotic flowers and herbs scattered throughout this world, along with numerous Immortal Family Elixirs.

Though in his view, these readily available herbs were not of very high order, ranging only from First to Third Order, the vast variety and many rare treasures unknown to the outer world made it worthwhile.

For example, right now.

Luo Chen crouched on the ground, took a herb hoe out from his storage ring, and began digging carefully.

Moments later, a piece of root without tendrils, resembling a human tongue, was exposed before him.

”It truly is a Heavenly Root!”

”I knew it, this place’s spirit vein isn’t of high order, yet it attracts all kinds of spirit qi converging here.”

”Only a Heavenly Root could have this effect.”

Luo Chen unearthed the tongue-shaped root, his face showing a look of wonder.

He was not unfamiliar with the Heavenly Root.

Back when he was still in the Qi Refinement Stage, he had seen someone auction it off at the Dahéfang Zhenlong Black Market.

Reportedly, it originated from the Golden Core Ruins in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.

This spirit medicine had a peculiar effect, able to absorb various spirit qi without attribute restriction.

The longer it aged, the better the effect.

It held unimaginable benefits for cultivators trying to break through realms.

Duan Feng relied on a piece of an Eight-Hundred Year Heavenly Root to successfully break through the Foundation Establishment Stage.

According to records, the uses of the Heavenly Root extend beyond Foundation Establishment; as long as it ages enough, it could also aid in Core Formation and Infant Consolidation.
