Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Before and after this great calamity of life and death, first soak in the Spirit Shaping Holy Spring, then absorb millions of Blood of Dragon Qiu, especially since there is a precious drop of Luo Chen’s tongue-tip essence blood in it, containing the vitality of Great Tai Sui and Luo Chen’s Origin Force.

After he devoured the Fifth Order Stone Dragon Remnant Soul, not only did he come back to life, but he also filled the last gap.

This past year, hidden deep in the ocean, it is clear that some sort of transformation is occurring!

But Luo Chen has no time to focus on it.

The matters at hand are more pressing.

Apart from daily honing of Qi Power, advancing his cultivation level, and steadily moving towards the Golden Core Period Great Perfection, Luo Chen has devoted all his energy to pill refinement.

Not just for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, but also for the Condensation Pill!

This pill, originating from one of Ming Zhao Sky’s Thirty-Six Pill Recipes, is specifically for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to advance to Golden Core.

Its efficacy does not match the Nether Origin Pill Luo Chen consumed back in the day, but it is more general and suits ordinary immortal cultivators better.

Obviously, the three-series pill formulas left by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch do not pursue extremes, but seek universality.

Luo Chen had not refined pills for some years.

The main ingredients for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, after being personally processed by him, still need some time to settle.

In this interval, Luo Chen started practicing to get accustomed to the three refined alchemy equipment.

In the past, elixirs he refined held little significance for him, no matter how many.

Thus, he set his sights on the pill formulas left by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch.

The Condensation Pill was undoubtedly a great choice.

The medicinal materials specially collected by Sang Jinghe earlier are the main ingredients required for the Condensation Pill.

For other lacking parts, his reserves can supplement them.

After several trials, Luo Chen not only became more proficient with the new alchemy equipment but also began to produce one Condensation Pill after another.

On this day.

In the Earth Abyss, Luo Chen stood outside his hut, looking at the ten cyan elixir pills in his hand, nodding with satisfaction.

This is the third successful batch of Condensation Pills.

Including the previous ones, there are thirty in total!

Placed in the Immortal Cultivation World, they could allow thirty Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization cultivators to attempt Core Formation.

Moreover, the potency of the Condensation Pill is quite balanced and moderate, able to increase the Core Formation success rate by two or three levels. With a good Core Formation method, the success rate could reach around fifty percent!

If he were still in Luo Tian Sect, this batch of Condensation Pills would be of tremendous use.

Unfortunately, now they can only be left shelved.

Luo Chen packed them all into a green-skinned gourd, planning to save them for when he returns to the Eastern Wasteland, where these elixirs would be enough to revive a sect.

Yes, an excellent Pill Refiner is just that impressive!

The strength of one person is enough to revive a sect!

After some thought, Luo Chen took out three more pills from the gourd and placed them in a jade vial.

Then, he sent out a message.

Before long, Tian Xuan entered the Earth Abyss from the outer world.

”Give this to Sang Jinghe.”

Tian Xuan was a little curious, but after Luo Chen gave some instructions, he understood the use of the elixirs.

”Consider it a reward for his diligent work over the years!”

Luo Chen said as such.

Tian Xuan suddenly realized, the master has always been like this, never shortchanging those who work for him.

Not to mention how surprised Sang Jinghe was to receive three Condensation Pills.

After thoroughly familiarizing himself with the new alchemy equipment, Luo Chen finally began the refinement of Nascent Soul Formation Pills.

Various auxiliary materials, long prepared, were taken out for final processing.

The Divine Kite Tail was dried to preserve its potency, and Purple Monkey Flower was soaked in spirit liquid to reduce toxicity.

Finally, there was the Five Elements Lotus Stand!

Luo Chen cautiously fetched the Five Elements Lotus Stand from the Penglai Octagon Pavilion.

As soon as it appeared, the thing was eager to escape, showing signs of restlessness.

If the Primordial Chaos Tripod could still be activated, leveraging its power to suppress the five elements, this lotus stand certainly would not dare to cause trouble.

But now the Primordial Chaos Tripod lies dormant within the sea of qi, unable to be activated in the slightest.

However, Luo Chen had a contingency plan.

Within the Earth Abyss, a massive array was operating methodically, activated by numerous Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones.

Countless spirit qi was drawn in, systematically divided into five elements, flashing with five-colored spirit light.

If Min Longyu were here, he would certainly recognize that this array is precisely the famous Reverse Five Elements Spirit Formation in the Immortal Cultivation World!

This formation draws in the five elements but aims to cut off the Five Elements Spirit Qi!

Creatures within it will have their internal Five Elements Spirit Qi extracted.

When the lotus stand entered the formation, the array was instantly triggered, and the Five Elements Lotus Stand felt its spirit qi draining away. Its petals immediately closed, not leaking a trace of breath.

”That’s exactly what I wanted, for you to not dare to move!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, holding a small knife made entirely of Tongxuan Sky Crystal, and walked forward.

He only needed the lotus stand itself; as for the five lotus seeds, they could not be used as medicine.

With a single cut, the white jade-like tender inner flesh was revealed.

”This lotus stand of mine undoubtedly surpasses the one Qingdan Valley initially collected by countless times in quality, enough for me to use as medicine more than a dozen times.”

Luo Chen smiled with eyes full of joy, wielding the small knife faster and faster.

...

Luo Chen had been preparing for years to refine Nascent Soul Formation Pills.

Not only collecting medicinal materials and researching the pill formula but also improving his Pill Refinement Technique, which was extremely tedious.

But when it came time to refine, there were not many twists and turns.

Moreover, there was no such scene as Qingdan Valley’s grand mobilization in the past, consuming countless human and material resources.

His medicinal materials were of higher quality, his Pill Technique surpassed Qing Danzi, the Supreme Elder of Qingdan Valley, and even the True Fire he used far exceeded the Six Great Strange Fires prepared by Qingdan Valley at that time!

The only shortcoming might have been the alchemy equipment.

The Primordial Chaos Tripod was supposed to be the best choice!

But alas...

Every time he thought about the inactive natal Magic Item, Luo Chen felt a thorn in his throat.

Fortunately, he had spare equipment.

A tripod, a furnace, and a small cauldron.

These three pieces of alchemy equipment, some of Luo Chen’s personal collection, others obtained from the storage bags of fallen Golden Core cultivators.

With everything ready, Luo Chen officially began refining.

To be safe, he even spent ten Achievement Points to enter the Beginner level of Nascent Soul Formation Pills.

It only took three months.

After destroying one alchemical cauldron and one small cauldron, Luo Chen harvested the treasure he had long yearned for from the remaining pill furnace.

Ten Nascent Soul Formation Pills!

Interwoven with five colors, resembling candy pills.

In hand, they felt heavy, warranting the utmost caution.

Luo Chen carefully inspected the ten pills, from color to aroma, and then to the cloud pattern potency, eventually concluding.

They indeed possessed a Fourth Order Lower Quality level!

The potent medicinal power was almost at Fourth Order Medium Quality, missing just a hair.

The quality of the Five Elements Lotus Stand itself contributed massively to the pill’s form.

In his joy, Luo Chen felt a tinge of regret.

If he could have refined them with the Primordial Chaos Tripod, using the Magic Item’s ability to enhance pill grade, perhaps he could have crossed that gap and achieved Fourth Order Medium Quality.

”I am indeed too greedy!”

Covered in the smoke of alchemy, Luo Chen smiled and shook his head; obtaining even a single Nascent Soul Formation Pill would be a great fortune for others, let alone that he succeeded twice and refined ten!

And with such quality!

Laughing at his own greed, suddenly, Luo Chen was struck by an idea.

The quality of the elixirs is not enough?

This was a common subject for Pill Refiners, and there were various solutions.

One could supplement with other spirit medicines, achieving a higher grade effect.

Or refine them again, making good better.

And in Luo Chen’s memory, there was another method, offering the chance to enhance the quality of even complete elixirs!

The thought of that method stirred Luo Chen’s heart with eager anticipation.
