Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Han Zhan sighed, ”The self-detonation of the Refining Heaven Cauldron, how could a mere Golden Core Demon King withstand it? The Moyun Cave Lord’s body turned to dust on the spot, and his Divine Soul was utterly obliterated. The fact that the Black King has held on until now is already a stroke of luck.”

Luo Chen remained silent.

Although he had previously spoken confidently about having a way to save the Black King, it was clear that this was all he could do.

He had exhausted all options.

However, to watch the Black King pass away in front of him was still emotionally hard to accept.

The Black King was originally just a most unremarkable Black Scaled Giant Python among countless Demon Beasts.

It was nurtured by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Flying Swallow Islands with a Secret Technique to become the weakest Flood Dragon.

One could say that by the time the Black King reached the Third Order, its life was basically at its peak.

But fortunately, the Black King encountered him.

With the infusion of a large amount of Emperor Liquor, he awakened its Bloodline Inheritance and granted it the Demon Devouring Technique. For decades, it was bestowed with great flesh blood meals, miraculous elixirs, and the body of a Cliff Serpent to digest.

Although the path it walked wasn’t as orthodox as that of Tian Xuan from the Human Clan, it also had a solid foundation, step by step reaching the level of a Third-Order Late-Stage Great Demon King.

Especially since he soaked in the Spirit Shaping Holy Spring!

Without that incident at the Pill Hall, the Black King should have had a great future, the day he ascends the clouds and drives the mists, one day transforming into a dragon, was not impossible.

Luo Chen lamented the future the Black King could not touch.

And mourned the loyalty the other showed under the absence of the slave mark’s suppression.

Now, having to wait little by little for the Black King’s Divine Soul to dissipate, Luo Chen’s heart was heavy, almost unbearable.

Tian Xuan could no longer hold back and shouted out.

”Old Black, you must hold on! Master, didn’t you have a pill that could strengthen the Divine Soul earlier? Maybe Old Black could try it?”

Luo Chen shook his head.

The Tongyou Pill is too low-order, it’s really just a drop in the bucket for the current Black King.

If he could refine one of the Fourth Order Elixirs from the three Human Tribe’s Fourth Order Elixir Formula left by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, maybe there would be a chance.

But it’s just a slim chance.

Such a pill, the required ingredients are something Luo Chen lacks, unless he goes to the Outer World to collect them with great effort.

But with a strong enemy like Moon Independent Cultivator nearby in the Outer World, and him on the verge of forming his Nascent Soul, how could he dare to draw attention?

Moreover, the power of the Fourth Order Pill is too fierce, the current Black King may not be able to endure it.

”Tian Xuan, don’t be sad for me. In the future, when I’m no longer here... you must cultivate well and serve the Master.”

Tian Xuan’s lips trembled, her voice choked with emotion.

”I will.”

In the Blood Pool, that Flood Python’s eyes remained firmly shut.

But the Black King’s voice still softly came through.

”Master, do you remember the small favor I once asked you?”

Luo Chen was taken aback, constantly recalling in his thoughts, what was it?

Because of this recollection, he couldn’t help but feel a bit ashamed, for he didn’t remember it immediately.

However, the times the Black King earnestly asked him for something were few, and that finally jogged Luo Chen’s memory.

”Refine a treasure?”

He quickly responded, ”Are you talking about refining a protective magic item for that Zhang Family little girl?”

”Yes.” The Black King replied weakly.

Indeed there was such a thing!

The Black King pitied the Zhang Family little girl for her plight, so it handed over the undigested Cliff Serpent Skin Membrane to Luo Chen, asking him to refine a protective magic item for her.

Luo Chen still remembered that the little girl was named Zhang Jingqing.

The name was specially chosen by Zhang Jiadi to please Luo Chen.

Luo Chen solemnly said, ”If I have the chance, I will fulfill this promise and deliver that gift to Xiaoqing.”

”Ha ha...”

The Black King’s Divine Soul, rarely, fluctuated happily.

”Finally, Little Black wishes the Master prosperity on the Path of Immortal, may you achieve Nascent Soul Formation!”

After this message was conveyed, its Divine Soul fluctuations began to swiftly dissipate.

It seemed, as soon as it awoke, it was time to go.

Luo Chen tightened his face and turned his gaze to the elder in the green robe.

”Senior!”

Han Zhan waved his hand, ”Don’t look at me, though I’m said to have Mastery in the Spirit Refining Technique, I don’t possess such heaven-defying abilities...”

Listening to these words, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel regret too.

However, he noticed Han Zhan’s words become hesitant.

Immediately, Luo Chen felt like he grabbed a lifeline, his gaze burning into the other.

Han Zhan frowned, looking at the Black King from time to time, then at Luo Chen.

Finally, he transmitted quietly, ”If you’re willing to risk it, I do have a method to try saving a dead horse as if it were alive.”

”Tell me!” Luo Chen’s spirit lifted!

Han Zhan rubbed his chin, as if recalling past events.

”Back in the day, my friend Cang Long failed to transcend a tribulation, her Yin Soul was severely injured by the extremely pure and Yang Power of Thunder.”

”Later, her body was sealed in a Mysterious Ice Coffin by Ice Castle Disciples, awaiting a means of salvation.”

”In my leisure time, I studied this situation, and it turned out I did come up with a method for treatment, though never tested.”

”Speaking of which, the current situation of the Black King has some similarities to Cang Long. Perhaps that method could be applied to him.”

Luo Chen, restraining his impatience, listened carefully.

Han Zhan detailed the method step by step.

Divine Soul injury, then treat the Divine Soul!

If there is a shortage of Divine Soul, replenish the Original Source of the Divine Soul!

But for the injured, who have lost the ability to independently strengthen and recover the Original Source of the Divine Soul, external force is required for supplementation.

”External Force... Elixirs?” Luo Chen frowned.

Han Zhan shook his head, ”Such elixirs are rarely found in the world. But you have something on you that surpasses all divine elixirs!”
