Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Within the Alchemy Realm, the figure of Luo Chen began to appear everywhere.

Gathering the ingredients required for the three Fourth Order Transformation Pills.

This time, it wasn’t just various spirit plants, but also involved many mineral jade fluids.

Moreover, in a stone house at the center of the Alchemy Realm, he discovered some prepared demon race bones, the main material required for refining the Demon Transformation Pill.

Clearly, for this fourth trial, the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch had prepared all the materials for the person receiving the legacy.

During his breaks, Luo Chen often pondered why the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch went to such lengths to arrange this intricate legacy trial.

What was the purpose?

In the other ten or so Heritage Lands, are the trials like the Alchemy Realm?

Peaceful and safe?

From what he saw, these trials didn’t seem hastily arranged before a cultivator’s death; they were too intricate and detailed.

Or was it that this might have originally been a True Monarch’s palace, where these arrangements were made by the owner while alive, specifically for others?

So many questions, each without a lead.

Occasionally, Luo Chen speculated but didn’t think deeply about it.

His focus remained on the processing of ingredients for the three types of Transformation Pills.

For this, the mere processing of materials took him a full four years.

This duration was unexpectedly long.

It was truly because several types of ingredients couldn’t be processed with ordinary methods alone; they needed time to reach the initial standards for refining.

Moreover, for each elixir, Luo Chen prepared at least ten sets or more of ingredients to ensure ultimate success when the time came.

During this process, Sea Corner Tianmu arrived six months later.

She eventually caught up with Luo Chen’s pace.

There was no small talk upon their meeting this time.

It seemed that she, like him, received three specific Pill Formulas upon entering the fourth trial.

For those without external help, even if Sea Corner Tianmu prided herself as an Alchemy Grandmaster, the three Pill Formulas appeared extremely complex.

To truly refine each one, who knows how much time it would take with trial and error.

Hence, upon entering, she began hurriedly gathering ingredients just like Luo Chen.

In fact, her actions were even more extensive than Luo Chen’s, preparing dozens of sets of each ingredient.

After all, for them, processing one set of ingredients or dozens was simultaneous; being more prepared was beneficial.

Luo Chen paid no mind to Sea Corner Tianmu’s actions, instead focusing on his own domain.

Four years later, on a particular day.

A strange fragrance permeated the air.

Gazing at five golden pearls-sized elixir pills, vaguely accompanied by the cries of a baby, Luo Chen contentedly put them away.

The Human Transformation Pill was completed!

This was expected, and he was not surprised.

After resting one night, tomorrow he planned to use Achievement Points to begin the Demon Transformation Pill and Monster Transformation Pill; after all, the ingredients were ready, and it would be best to strike while the iron was hot and refine them in one go.

He pushed open the door of the Pill Room, and an ancient pair of eyes met his gaze.

It was Sea Corner Tianmu.

Luo Chen nodded to her, without the verbal exchange as before, and went straight to rest.

For him, at the fourth trial with specific Pill Formulas, his pace naturally became swifter than Sea Corner Tianmu’s.

She had yet to start refining pills, foreseeing many upcoming failures.

But Luo Chen had already glimpsed the future of success.

In the courtyard, watching Luo Chen’s carefree silhouette, Sea Corner Tianmu’s expression was somber, hesitant to speak.

The pace of his pill refinement completely exceeded her expectations.

This short period, processing ingredients, scrutinizing Pill Formulas, seemingly without much effort or failure, he had directly refined an elixir.

Such mastery was simply incredible.

For a moment, Sea Corner Tianmu even doubted whether Luo Chen was one of the Human Clan’s top Alchemy Concoction Grandmasters.

Yet among the top Alchemy Grandmasters of the North Sea she heard about, she never encountered one named Demon King Qingyang.

Could he be from another Great Continent?

Even so, as top figures, the gap between them shouldn’t be so vast.

While doubting Luo Chen, she also doubted herself.

Could it be that her so-called Alchemy Grandmaster title was not true to her name?

This doubt intensified, reaching its peak in the following days.

Three months later, Luo Chen successfully refined a batch of the Monster Transformation Pills!

At that time, Sea Corner Tianmu had just started refining what she thought was the relatively simplest Monster Transformation Pill.

The comparison left Sea Corner Tianmu’s mind in turmoil.

In her most proficient domain, to be directly crushed by another, there was no greater blow in this world.

When the fifth year of the fourth trial arrived, after more than ten failures, Luo Chen succeeded in refining the Demon Transformation Pill.

The increasingly weak peculiar sound descended once more on the Alchemy Realm.

And this time, Sea Corner Tianmu nearly lost hope.

She could no longer catch up.

She hadn’t even refined a single Monster Transformation Pill, and estimated that it would still take her a year or two.

But the opponent is simply too fast!

She found many excuses for herself: the inherent physical differences between demon and human, her excessive time in processing ingredients, lack of assistance... and so on.

But ultimately, she was inherently weaker in skill!

As for whether there are any other trials ahead, she didn’t know.

She only knew that in the legacy of pill refinement, the rival she faced was beyond her reach, hard to match.

”Could it be that I will stop here?”

As Luo Chen’s figure faded from sight, Sea Corner Tianmu fell into an unprecedented state of confusion that she hadn’t experienced for centuries.

...

In a secluded stone house.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly listening to the demonic sound filling his ears.

A new Pill Formula was etched firmly in his mind.

It took little effort to pass the fourth trial, and he acquired several special Transformation Pills, especially leaving Sea Corner Tianmu, his competitor, behind. He should have been delighted.

However, the fifth trial, which was also the final one, stirred his heart completely.

The fifth trial, the final test.

Once passed, he would obtain the true legacy of the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch in the Dao of Alchemy!

Everything was within reach.

However, the test of the fifth trial was to let him refine a Fifth Order Elixir Pill!

A Fifth Order Elixir Pill!

This was expected, yet an unexpected test.

Normally, a Pill Refiner’s level correlates with the Cultivator Realm.

Even if occasionally a Lower Order Cultivator can refine elixirs one rank higher, it is rare.

Yet this time, it required him to cross an entire Pill Refiner major rank, and refine an elixir specifically for Divine Transformation Great Power!

Even to say, refine a Divine Transformation Pill at the Golden Core Period?

How could Luo Chen not be shaken, not be anxious?

Simultaneously, he was ecstatic that he had inexplicably acquired a Fifth Order Pill Formula!

Especially, the efficacy described in this Fifth Order Pill Formula was truly marvelous, deemed the pinnacle of Fifth Order Divine Pills!

Even though Luo Chen had never seen, nor heard of any Fifth Order Elixir Pill, the mere description of its efficacy directly labeled it the best of the Fifth Order!

No other reason.

Simply because this pill was named — Yanfa!

[Yanfa Pill: Upon consumption, it allows Divine Transformation Cultivators divine fusion with the world, transforms law principles, deepens law comprehension. Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators have a chance to transcend realms and understand the Power of Law.]

At the moment he acquired the Pill Formula.

Luo Chen finally understood why the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch as remembered by Tai Sui was acclaimed as the mightiest Void Refining True Monarch in history.

Nor did he doubt whether the opponent truly comprehended and mastered more than a dozen Powers of Laws.

If the Pill Formula were true, and the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch really refined it.

With frequent consumption, how could one not comprehend numerous laws, cultivating towards celestial heights?

Regarding the authenticity of the Pill Formula?

Luo Chen had his means to discern.

With a thought, the Attribute Panel cascaded down.

At the same time, a piece of information slowly materialized before him.

[Complete Yanfa Pill Formula detected, Fifth Order.]

[Beginner level?]

Crack!

In an instant, Luo Chen clenched his fists, veins popping on his arms.

Extremes of joy burst forth uncontrollably.

It’s real!

This Pill Formula is real!
