Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

At this moment, after more than ten years of Pill Refinement in the Alchemy Realm and the gradual creation of the Law Extension Pill, Luo Chen’s control over the Prosperity and Decline True Fire gradually returned to the state of ease at which he could send and retract it at will.

With a pinch of his fingers, he formed a seal gesture, and the branches of the Fire Tree gently swept down.

In the void, ripples spread out layer by layer.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen was immensely satisfied.

”This is the true power of my Prosperity and Decline True Fire!”

”If I were to face Jiao Emperor Liu Jun now, even without the geographical advantage of the Blazing Refinement Prison, relying on the Prosperity and Decline True Fire alone, I could have a forty-sixty chance of victory. Against other typical Nascent Soul True Masters, the Prosperity and Decline True Fire would be a great killing move!”

The seal gesture dispersed, and the Azure Fire Tree merged into Luo Chen’s body.

And this was just the first harvest.

The second harvest was within Luo Chen’s Sea of Qi.

One crimson, one pure white, two Golden Cores, like Taiji’s Two Forms, echoed each other, rotating incessantly.

The Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra operated, and two streams of Qi Power flowed in and out together or surged out from the Elixir Pill.

This seamless and perfectly connected Qi Power output was the result of Luo Chen’s failure in connecting Qi Power once upon a time.

In the past, he never paid attention to this flaw.

When the qi power of the Second Prime Elixir ran out, he just switched to the Lifebound Golden Core; why bother with the connection?

It was precisely after that failure that he slightly adjusted the qi power between the two Golden Cores to achieve this seamless integration.

At this point, though the Lifebound Golden Core and the Second Prime Elixir still had a distinction between primary and secondary, in essence, there was no difference at all.

If Luo Chen could advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, he was highly confident that, according to the Art of Origin Core taught by Han Zhan, he could form a Second Nascent Soul!

At that time, when Luo Chen initially entered the Nascent Soul Stage, he might possess formidable combat power.

At least, not weaker than Han Zhan’s Nascent Soul Stage Puppet!

The third harvest was his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Primordial Chaos Tripod!

Seven attempts to refine the Law Extension Pill, seven failures, and after each failure, the Primordial Pill was more or less slightly damaged.

After nurturing and repairing it, Luo Chen inadvertently discovered signs of further growth in the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

He even found that its power in suppression and capture had increased exponentially!

Upon detailed analysis, Luo Chen vaguely sensed that it was the materials of the Law Extension Pill that were absorbed into the Primordial Chaos Tripod, which caused such changes.

At this point, Luo Chen did not know if the tripod was refining pills, or the pills were refining the tripod.

After some introspection, Luo Chen came to his senses.

He sighed lightly.

”So what if there are many harvests?”

”As long as the Law Extension Pill is not completed, it is all in vain!”

”Next time, can I succeed?”

For a moment, he was even unsure whether the system rule he summarized early on, which states that success is guaranteed on the tenth attempt, could still be triggered.

Just because the Fifth-Order Divine Pill was completely beyond his understanding of the Dao of Alchemy.

With this anxious and humble mindset, Luo Chen commenced the eighth pinnacle Pill Refinement.

And this time, it was as if divinely assisted!

...

When the elixir took shape, Luo Chen felt both a sense of relief and dared not be careless.

Though the pill was formed, it was only halfway through a journey of a hundred miles.

There was still the step of Drawing Qi into the Elixir.

According to the established plan, he performed the Qi Control Technique.

In an instant, streams of Spirit Qi, like angry dragons, surged from all directions!

Under Luo Chen’s frequent changes of hand gestures, these Spirit Qi dragons all entered the Primordial Chaos Tripod and were then absorbed by the Law Extension Pill in sequence.

At this moment, Luo Chen’s emotions were tumultuous.

”According to the Pill Formula records, this kind of finishing work only requires three months. After three months, it is considered that the pill has been completed!”

He held his breath, focused, and the two golden cores within continuously released Qi Power, assisting him in guiding the Spirit Qi from the outer world.

Gradually, Luo Chen noticed the clues.

In the void, Spirit Qi flocks like homing swallows.

On the ground, Spirit Qi erupts and bursts forth.

Numerous Spirit Veins planted with Exotic Flowers and Herbs were vibrating, releasing.

It seemed like the entire Alchemy Realm was providing aid for the birth of the Law Extension Pill.

Under this vast power, Luo Chen’s act of leveraging the vast Spirit Qi with the two golden cores felt as if a child were trying to lift a hammer - it was so beyond him.

He gritted his teeth and endured, day after day... month after month...

After three months passed, he, pale-faced, looked at the Primordial Chaos Tripod and that endlessly rotating Elixir Pill within, which shone brightly like a star.

A feeling named thirst emerged spontaneously.

”Still not enough!”

Luo Chen chuckled wryly and released the seal gesture of the Qi Control Technique.

At this moment, the Spirit Qi tide retreated entirely.

He stomped the void, causing a booming sound, and was a hundred feet away in an instant.

Watching the Primordial Chaos Tripod nervously.

Quietness, just as the dead silence in his heart.

No cauldron explosion.

Nor success.

Luo Chen, nearly depleted of Qi Power, slowly returned to the Primordial Chaos Tripod and summoned the Law Extension Pill.

Before his eyes, it was yellow and dazzling like the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in immortal clan legends.

But Luo Chen knew that it was an incomplete Waste Pill.

It hadn’t absorbed enough Heaven and Earth Qi to achieve the effect for Nascent Soul True Master or even God Transformation True Master to achieve Divine Fusion with the World.

With a long sigh, Luo Chen carefully put away this ”Waste Pill”.

He patted the Primordial Chaos Tripod and sat down at the Absolute Summit.

Beneath him, Spirit Qi weakened by the Array slowly surged up.

While absorbing Spirit Qi to recover Qi Power, Luo Chen searched for the reason for this failure.

”Three months!”

”Clearly, I persisted for three months, so why did I still fail?”

Luo Chen was full of confusion.

...

Until Luo Chen’s Qi Power completely recovered to perfection, he found the answer.

”That three months corresponds to at least Nascent Soul True Master’s three months, not Golden Core Cultivator’s three months!”
