Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Fu Qinglan shook her head, ”Under such a majestic chess strategy, with bold moves and grand tactics, we simply cannot grasp the exquisite subtleties, and we’re falling behind.”

As she said this, she pointed to her head.

Indeed, high-level chess players consider thousands of counter-moves with each step, and within a brief time, it’s impossible to comprehend their chess path expertise.

At this point, Fu Qinglan also felt sorry for the Five Heroes of Shangjun.

They really chose the wrong opponent challenging Senior Brother Tan Linxian, and being defeated so utterly was bad enough, but the short time meant they didn’t learn much.

Unlike the Seven Sons of Muyuan, who, in their month-long battle with Senior Brother Gu Daoyin, could slowly learn some refining techniques.

It is said that among the seven, three went into closed-door cultivation after that battle at the Hall of Fame, and there’s a good chance they will enter the Minor Seventh Grade Third Realm upon emerging.

The two squeezed out of the crowd, and Yu Xu stretched lazily, feeling quite bored.

”It’s really hard not being able to cultivate before we enter the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven,” she said.

The fanatic look on Fu Qinglan’s face faded, and she smiled, ”Visiting friends in the mountains, enjoying tea and playing chess, isn’t a bad way to pass the time either.”

Yu Xu sighed; she couldn’t sit still.

”The clan elder says that as newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivators, our Purple Mansion Barrier is still thin, and our Nascent Souls have a close affinity with Heaven and Earth. In such a state, it’s most suitable to perceive the Heaven and Earth Laws inside the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven. But each day the cave doesn’t open is a day we can’t cultivate, wasting too much time.”

Fu Qinglan nodded.

Once cultivation begins, one would subconsciously deepen the Purple Mansion Barrier, severing the assimilation with Heaven and Earth.

Thus, there’s this hundred-year restriction for new Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, in her view, compared to comprehending the Law’s True Intent and directly reaching the future opportunity for God Transformation, this small amount of time is indeed worth wasting.

Sharpening the axe won’t delay the work of chopping wood!

As they conversed, someone peeked through the crowd and ran towards them.

”Hmm, it’s Seventh Uncle,” Fu Qinglan recognized the newcomer.

Although his realm was only at the Middle Stage Golden Core, he was an elder of her clan.

The middle-aged man sighed in relief upon seeing Fu Qinglan.

”The Family Head is already at Heaven and Earth Peak, and that individual has also arrived, Qinglan, come with me!”

Fu Qinglan’s eyes lit up.

Beside her, Yu Xu wanted to go along but couldn’t due to Fu Chaosheng’s wishes.

”Sorry, Little Xu, I’ll introduce you after I meet that person,” Fu Qinglan said apologetically.

Yu Xu nodded, not insisting.

However, after they left, her eyes turned, and she quickly flew in another direction.

Fu Qinglan was a bit impatient.

Despite feeling conflicted, she still wanted to see that Huang Independent Cultivator quickly.

But upon arriving at the Yin Immortal Hall, there was no sign of him.

The cultivators inside the hall informed her that he had just left and was undergoing assessment by the Star Gate Seven Elders.

Fu Qinglan exhaled a breath of frustration, ”I’ve waited so long, there’s no rush now.”

...

Luo Chen finally crossed that Star Gate.

Alone, he arrived in a space filled with countless starlight.

Seven phantoms slowly emerged the moment he stepped in.

As the seven pairs of eyes cast upon him, Luo Chen felt as if a thorn pricked his back, shivering all over.

Each of them was of a higher realm than him!

Each of them brought the same sense of oppression that Moon Independent Cultivator once instilled in him!

Among the seven, the slender figure he couldn’t dare gaze at directly, unintentionally made him feel a sense of closeness.

”Oh, is it a Pill Refiner?”

A pleasing and gentle voice softly sounded, surprising the others and instantly relieving the pressure the other six placed on Luo Chen.

Only then did Luo Chen dare to look up and face the seven phantoms.

He took a deep breath and introduced himself.

”Luo Chen, Rogue Cultivator from the North Sea, greets the seven elders.”

Rogue Cultivator?

Even though it’s been known through the Fu Family’s intelligence that he came from such a background, seeing his appearance and the vibrant vitality in him still amazed the seven Star Gate Elders.

To form a Nascent Soul so quickly as a Rogue Cultivator is truly a genius in cultivation!

Just then, the woman who spoke earlier carelessly spoke again.

”Can you possibly refine Fifth Order Elixirs?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished, and Luo Chen felt a jolt in his heart.

”Elders, you must be joking; although I have some knowledge of Pill Refinement, how could I refine Fifth Order Elixirs at the Nascent Soul Stage?”

The woman sounded regretful.

”What a pity, leaving without a fellow Daoist to see me off.”

Leaving?

Luo Chen felt a stir in his heart and cautiously asked, ”Might I inquire about the elder’s name?”

”How dare you...”

Someone else rebuked.

The woman, however, chuckled lightly, ”No matter, telling you my name doesn’t matter. My name is Chu Yan, and the cultivators of the Mountain Sea Realm call me the Alchemy Saint.”
