Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”True Master, I have found a way to cultivate the Demonheart Tree!”

At these words, Luo Chen was taken aback and instinctively asked, ”What did you say?”

”Demon...”

”Wait!”

Luo Chen interrupted Sang Jinghe and glanced at Fu Hongzhang, who was exchanging resources with Tian Xuan, appearing bewildered.

When Luo Chen looked over, Fu Hongzhang quickly bowed his head.

”Come outside with me!”

Luo Chen gracefully stood up and walked outside, then released a sound isolation cover.

Sang Jinghe, knowing he misspoke in front of others, fearfully said, ”Please forgive me, True Master. I was careless... ”

”No problem.”

Luo Chen waved his hand, understanding the other person’s slip due to excitement.

Although the Demonheart Tree was valuable, it was a newly hybridized species, and there were no records of it in the Mountain Sea Realm from ancient times to present. Even if Fu Family cultivators heard the name, it didn’t matter.

Nevertheless, Sang Jinghe truly researched a way to cultivate this tree, which was unexpected to him.

The Demonheart Tree was formed by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch using the True Scale Tree as a base, merging the heart of a Fifth Order Ancient Demon and a Fifth Order Ancient Demon.

It was like a Spiritual Tree but not, like a demon but not.

Since its successful hybridization, it was already at the Fifth Order.

However, as it defied natural order, it was extremely difficult to achieve spirit communication. According to Tai Sui at the time, unless it endured a Thunder Tribulation, braving the wrath of the heavens and earth, it could achieve spirit communication and bear fruit.

And the fruit it bore, according to Tai Sui’s conjecture, might greatly benefit Body Refinement!

Unfortunately, after Luo Chen acquired it, not to mention maturing the fruit for Body Refinement, he couldn’t even figure out how to cultivate it.

He didn’t expect that Sang Jinghe, a mere Golden Core Cultivator, could find a way.

”Tell me carefully what you have found.”

Sang Jinghe’s spirit was uplifted, and he began speaking eloquently.

”According to what True Master has said, this tree is hybridized from the hearts of demons, so its cultivation requires a lot of Demon Qi and Demonic Qi. Demon Qi is easy to find; a Great Demon can exhale Qi Power day and night. But Demonic Qi is very rare in the Mountain Sea Realm; it’s said only the direct lineage of the Yuan Mo Sect can master it.”

”Therefore, orthodox cultivation methods are not feasible.”

”I tried several traditional cultivation methods, but the results were...”

He spoke in detail, from the initial research and experiments to the later theoretical speculations, almost narrating the results of decades of research.

Luo Chen did not urge him but listened very attentively.

While he had some involvement in the cultivation of Spirit Plants, he couldn’t match those like Sang Jinghe, who specialized in this field.

Moreover, the Demonheart Tree was related to his Body Refining Technique, so he must not neglect it.

Since reaching Ancient Desolation Fourth Order Middle Stage, his physical cultivation had almost stagnated.

Conventional methods such as ”Myriad Paths Confluence,” or even True Fire Tempering, were no longer useful.

Regarding external aids, he did have a few Body Refining Pill Recipes, some even left by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, but they were of the Demon Race’s, not applicable to him.

Moreover, since Nascent Soul Formation, he had invested too much effort in One Way of Qi Refining, which forced his once strongest trump card into stagnation.

Even though he had made significant progress in Body Technique, it ultimately developed inward rather than ascending.

If the Demonheart Tree could bear fruit, maybe he could take another step upward!

”On Demon Sea Dragon Abyss Island, I saw True Master rebuilding Lord Black King’s body using the Blood Pool method, and I was inspired to imitate it and construct a Demon Blood Spirit Pool.”

”But this method ultimately has shortcomings; the Unity Tree isn’t interested in the inferior Demon Beasts’ blood.”

”Later, I changed my approach. Although the Unity Tree has the heart of Ancient Demon and Ancient Demon, its main body is still the True Scale Tree. According to records, the True Scale Tree needs a lot of Fish Dragon scales ground into powder for growth, so I wanted to imitate this method.”

”But eventually, I found this method also doesn’t work.”

”After arriving in Zhongzhou, I helped Fu Family cultivators with Spirit Plant problems, and as thanks, they let me borrow many texts. Through these, I discovered many records about Savage Beasts!”

”Yes, Savage Beasts!”

Mentioning this, Sang Jinghe’s eyes shone brightly.

”The understanding and utilization of Savage Beasts by Zhongzhou cultivators is unparalleled in the entire Mountain Sea Realm, even mentioning using materials from Savage Beasts to cultivate Spirit Plants!”

”In their view, Savage Beasts are unique creatures that don’t strive for Transformation or Spirit Communication; merely by instinctively inhaling Heaven and Earth Qi, they can progress to Fourth Order, Fifth Order, even Ascension! Truly creatures of creation, could be called favorites of this realm.”

”At that time, I thought, what if using primarily Wild Beast Blood, supplemented by your Blood Pool method, along with a large amount of Fish Dragon scales, could replace Demonic Qi and stimulate the growth of the Demonheart Tree?”

Luo Chen looked at him until he finished speaking.

Then...

”Is this your method?”

Sang Jinghe was taken aback.

Faced with Luo Chen’s gaze, his face gradually reddened.

He stammered, ”Though it’s just a hypothesis, in Jinghe’s view, this is the most feasible path.”

”Hmm, you’ve worked hard. It sounds somewhat feasible. I will try it when I have the chance.”

Luo Chen patted Sang Jinghe’s shoulder in commendation and gifted several bottles of elixir made during his leisure.

”Go pack up for now. We’re leaving soon.”

”Mm-hmm.”

Sang Jinghe, receiving the elixirs and having his ideas affirmed by Luo Chen, left happily.

Once he left, Luo Chen couldn’t help but shake his head.
