Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The attendant perked up, introducing the place.

”Our Myriad Aspects Tower is backed by the Xiang Family, the leader of the Thirty-Six Noble Clans of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, second only to the Twelve Great Houses!”

”The business we do, connects the north and south.”

”Here, you can not only see local specialities from the North Sea, but also resources from the South Border; everything you desire!”

Luo Chen chuckled to himself, thinking that the earlier boastful tone was indeed quite exaggerated!

The Tianyuan Business Alliance’s commerce spans across the Mountain Sea Realm, far beyond merely connecting the north and south.

Nevertheless, this so-called Xiang Family, being able to conduct business in the South Border, likely possesses immense strength.

He put aside his disdain and asked, ”From what you’re saying, are there Gu insects from the South Border?”

The attendant extended his hand, gesturing an invitation.

”Please follow, senior! Gu insects are mysterious; to prevent influencing cultivators, they are stored in the back.”

Luo Chen smiled and followed him to the back.

One jar after another appeared before him.

The attendant’s introductions were continuous.

”This is the Moonlight Gu. Its order is not high, merely First Order, yet it has the ability to channel Qi and open meridians. For those who possess a Spirit Root but are naturally restricted by blocked meridians, refining this Gu can break open the constraints and allow cultivation. Even those with naturally clear meridians wouldn’t hesitate to refine a Moonlight Gu to assist their Qi Refinement.”

”This is the Wine Pouch Gu. If Spirit Wine is placed inside, its quality improves, becoming increasingly rich and mellow in taste - the first choice for wine lovers! It is also one of the best-selling low-order Gu insects at Myriad Aspects Tower.”

...

”First Order Spirit Beetle! Senior may not have heard of this name, but its predecessor, you must be familiar with. That is the Demonic Mind Gu, able to parasitize within a cultivator’s body; upon death, all cultivation is completely devoured by its master, a demonic Gu insect.”

Hearing the name Spirit Beetle, Luo Chen’s thoughts were stirred.

He not only had heard of it, but also used this Gu.

In fact, under the nurturing of his powerful Qi-Blood, the Spirit Beetle within him had once grown to a Third-Order stage.

Later, after achieving Physical Nirvana, this Gu, along with a vast amount of Qi Power, disappeared without a trace... vanished.

Suddenly, Luo Chen guessed a possibility.

The Third-Order Spirit Beetle not only retains the Heart-Linked function but is able to advance to the Demonic Mind Gu stage.

Although it can’t completely transfer all cultivation as a gift for others, it can transmit half of its Qi Power remotely to the mother Gu of the Spirit Beetle.

Thus, the Qi Power he had back then likely didn’t vanish without reason, but was transmitted through the Spirit Beetle to Sima Huiniang, who had also planted this Gu!

Thinking of this, Luo Chen’s body instinctively trembled slightly.

He knew best how domineering his Qi Power was.

If Sima Huiniang had the Golden Core Period Realm, she might barely withstand it, but if she hadn’t broken through the Golden Core Period, then...

The attendant was keenly observing Luo Chen, adept at reading expressions.

Seeing Luo Chen’s body tremor, he promptly explained, ”Senior need not worry, the Demonic Mind Gu has long been feared and no one dares refine it. Even though the Spirit Beetle is controlled by the King Gu, our Zhongzhou Xiang Family has capable individuals who have long dealt with the influence of the Heart-Linked King Gu. You can certainly buy a pair to plant in the bodies of close ones, sensing their life safety.”

At this moment, Luo Chen’s mind was tumultuous, barely able to listen to the attendant’s introductions.

He took a deep breath, waved at Tian Xuan behind him.

”Buy a portion of every Gu insect, Tian Xuan, you handle the payment.”

After speaking, Luo Chen absent-mindedly left the Myriad Aspects Tower.

Standing on the desolate street, Luo Chen instinctively wanted to activate the Spirit Beetle, but no trace of that little insect remained within, naturally he couldn’t sense Hui Niang’s condition.

A feeling of melancholy surged in his heart.

At the end of his sight, Sang Jinghe approached quickly, followed by a middle-aged man in luxurious attire.

From afar, the middle-aged man clasped his hands in salute to Luo Chen, with an exceptionally respectful demeanor.

”Junior Fu Hongzhang, greets the senior Huang Independent Cultivator!”
