Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Jinghe... enough. Jinghe, focus on your cultivation, and strive to advance to the Golden Core Period within ten years. Tian Xuan, you will handle this matter. Gather all the high-grade Spiritual Soil on Longyuan Island!”

With these words, everyone understood Luo Chen’s intention.

He planned to leave.

Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps next year, or maybe soon.

Tian Xuan whispered, ”Master, about the White Tiger Puppet...”

”I will find the time to subdue it.”

”And how should this be dealt with?”

A flash of Spirit Light in Tian Xuan’s hand revealed a withered corpse before them.

Han Zhan’s physical body... no, it was Feiyun Zi’s physical body!

On this joyous day of emerging from closed-door cultivation post Nascent Soul Formation, seeing such a corpse truly dampened the mood.

Tian Xuan hadn’t intended to bring it up today, but Luo Chen’s urgency had affected her.

Luo Chen looked down at the corpse, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He wasn’t worried that Han Zhan had left any plans in the outer world.

Possession requires utmost effort; Han Zhan couldn’t have had anything left in reserve under such circumstances.

But this physical body involved more than just his and Han Zhan’s enmity; it also concerned Feiyun Zi’s descendants.

A wisp of green flame flew from his fingertip.

Before the three of them, the once Nascent Soul True Master’s physical body turned into a pile of black ashes.

”Scatter it!”

”North Sea People, North Sea Souls.”

”Bury it into the sea, as it returns to its roots.”

With a swipe of his claw, Black King scraped the earth, taking away those ashes.

”Leave this matter to me!”

Before long, Black King stood above the sea, casually scattering large handfuls of soil mixed with ashes into the water.

Moreover, some Demon Fish and Sea Beasts gathered, picking at those ashes.

The ashes of a True Master’s physical body were indeed a great tonic for them!

Watching this scene, Black King laughed heartily.

He had no thoughts of respecting a powerful enemy, knowing only to alleviate his master’s burdens.

This physical body, both in life as Feiyun Zi and in death as the old thief Han Zhan, had caused no end of trouble for his master. It deserved to leave no remains!

...

Returning to the Cave Mansion, Luo Chen calmed his mind.

Then, he naturally opened the Attribute Panel.

The previously complicated panel data gradually became clear and concise under his edits.

[Lifespan: 216/1500]

[Spirit Root: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth]

[Physique: Fire Spirit Body (Five Spirits Dao Body Hidden)]

[Realm: First Layer of Nascent Soul 1/100, Primordial Fourth Order 40/100]

[Cultivation Technique: Phoenix Nirvana Sutra Grandmaster 900/1000, Myriad Dao Great Finalization, Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Scripture 510/1000, Entry Level of Soul Splitting Technique 15/100]

[Technique: Fourth Order: Finalization of Dragon Slaying Technique, Finalization of Origin Core Technique, Master of Senluo Fire Hell 507/1000]

[Body Technique: Finalization of Sky Explosion Step, Finalization of Ninety Thousand Miles, Seven Scattered Hands of the Demon Monarch Perfection 475/500]

[Soul Technique: Finalization of Mirror Flower Water Moon, Grand Finalization of God Intimidating Technique, Expert Kai Mao Technique 240/300]

Looking at the fresh panel, Luo Chen felt a sense of satisfaction.

The most significant change was the rapid increase in lifespan.

One thousand five hundred years...

Hahaha!

Luo Chen couldn’t help but laugh, having taken a considerable step toward the Longevity he had dreamed of in his youth!

It is said that cultivators who break through the Nascent Soul Stage would have their lifespan doubled, reaching a millennium.

He not only reached a thousand years but gained an extra five hundred.

This change must be due to the Ancient Desolation Fourth Order Physical Body.

From this perspective, as long as he doesn’t recklessly provoke conflict, this sheer lifespan alone would allow him to outlast those of the same order.

Of course, that would be too much of a waste of potential.

With a smile, Luo Chen reviewed the various data.

Reaching the First Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage was expected.

The unusual phenomena in heaven and earth during his tribulation were rare sights indeed.

Earth-sprung Golden Lotus, Heavenly Dipper Sprinkling Dew.

After passing the Thunder Tribulation, these two phenomenons infused his newly formed Nascent Soul with an untold amount of pure Spirit Qi, helping form his Nascent Soul body and substantially enhancing his cultivation level.

Additionally, by absorbing the pure Qi Power left on Han Zhan’s Nascent Soul body, he solidly entered the First Layer of Nascent Soul, an expected outcome indeed.

So be it!

Normally, consolidating the realm and stepping into the First Layer of Nascent Soul would take thirty to fifty years for a cultivator forming a Nascent Soul.

That True Master Longyuan at the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering spent fifty years in closed cultivation, rarely emerging, did he not?

Back when Han Zhan formed his Nascent Soul, he too practiced quietly for tens of years before daring to challenge True Master Yu Ding.

In this aspect, I have indeed saved so much time.

And this saved time could be put to great use.

Main cultivation technique!

Gazing at the term ”Phoenix Nirvana Sutra,” which only needed one hundred more proficiency to reach Finalization, Luo Chen fell silent.

In Ming Zhao Heaven, having obtained the Five Spirits Dao Body, he once thought of changing his main cultivation technique after forming a Nascent Soul.

But subsequent changes made him fall from Five Spirits Dao Body to Fire Spirit Body.

Even though the system panel showed that the Five Spirits Dao Body was only hidden and not completely lost, the current physique meant he could only continue down the path of the Fire Attribute.

In such a case, suitable main cultivation techniques for the Nascent Soul Stage were limited.

After a long time, Luo Chen sighed.

”First, let’s cultivate this ’Phoenix Nirvana Sutra’ to Finalization and see if any changes occur!”

”If the cultivation speed remains good after reaching Finalization, then continue with this technique. If not, consider collecting other Fourth Order Fire Attribute techniques after returning to the Immortal Cultivation World.”

The latter is a backup plan.

And just thinking about it would be very difficult.

Fourth Order cultivation techniques are priceless anywhere!

From personal cultivation cores to sect heritage treasures, how could they be so easily gathered?

Luo Chen turned his attention to the ”Soul Cleaving Technique,” which he had already begun.

His ten years of enduring torment from Soul Splitting had not been in vain.

At this moment, in his Sea of Consciousness, besides the Main Soul, there was another fully-formed split soul.

The two shared the same breath, yet their relative strength was clear.

Currently, Luo Chen’s split soul was about Golden Core Period in strength, still too weak.

This situation resulted partly from the short time practicing ”Soul Cleaving Technique,” and partly from a lack of relevant Secret Techniques to accelerate its growth.

Luo Chen already had a solution in mind for that latter shortcoming.

That would be the True Monarch Pill Dao heritage!

A Pill Formula appeared in Luo Chen’s hand.

Inscribed with three words - Great Soul Pill!

This was a Fourth Order Pill specifically for Human Cultivators to fortify their Divine Soul Endowment, also part of those thirty-six Pill Formulas.

Previously, when treating Black King, he had considered this Pill Formula.

But back then, fearing the Black King couldn’t handle the Great Soul Pill’s potent force, and lacking the necessary herbs, he abandoned the idea.

Now, however, this Pill Formula has found its purpose.

”But this primary ingredient, I’ve seen it, yet collecting enough of it will be quite troublesome.”

Luo Chen mumbled, a hint of worry appearing on his brow.
