Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”You’ve worked hard on these trips, you can collect your reward from Yang Pingdu.”

Nowadays, the Merit Institute of the Luo Tian Sect has changed hands.

It is no longer Sima Wenjie, but Yang Pingdu who joined the Luo Tian Sect midway.

He wasn’t a strong cultivator nurtured by the Luo Tian Sect itself, but came with his skills to join, without any backing within the Luo Tian Sect, so he tries to be as impartial as possible.

Even if he offends everyone, it can be seen as offending no one.

Having him as the leader of the Merit Institute is most suitable.

When Zeng Yilong was about to leave with others, Luo Chen suddenly called the cultivator who had introduced the talisman paper to him earlier.

”You stay!”

Everyone was a bit surprised but didn’t dare to ask much.

After everyone had left, Luo Chen looked at the young man in front of him whose silhouette seemed somewhat familiar.

”You are Qu Jiu, are you not?”

Qu Jiu was caught off guard, he didn’t expect the Supreme Elder to know him.

In fact, not only was the Supreme Elder the ancestor of their sect, but he was also his master-grandfather.

Being kept behind now, could it be because of his father’s matter?

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen spoke about another matter.

”You don’t seem to be interested in the Dao of Alchemy, but you knew these talisman papers inside out earlier, it seems you have a profound understanding of talisman making!”

Qu Jiu was startled, then said a bit shyly: ”Because of my mother, I am quite curious about talisman making, so I learned some.”

”Oh? Mi Li?”

”Yes, before my mother passed away, she left me a peace charm. Later, during a battle with demon beasts, that peace charm saved my life. I inquired with the elders in the sect and found out it was a Third Order Defense Talisman personally drawn by Elder Ye from the Shen Fu Sect, whom she reached out to via her connections.”

Qu Jiu, with a look of reminiscence, recounted the past, unconsciously showing a smile on his face.

Then, he returned to the main topic.

”Since then, I became interested in talisman making. It’s a skill that is both convenient and immensely powerful, crucially because it can protect loved ones when you are not around.”

Black Ape Luo Chen stiffly nodded, slowly saying: ”Indeed, talisman making is like that, though it can’t directly raise a cultivator’s strength, it can help us in various aspects.”

This understanding was also a recent realization of Luo Chen’s immersion in talisman making.

Talismans can be used not only in battles but also in various other areas.

The main thing is, climbing realms as a cultivator is very difficult, and once involved in a battle, recuperating from the massive consumption of qi power takes a long time.

If one could infuse normally unused qi power into talismans, replacing the consumption during battles, it could indirectly aid cultivation.

Of course, being too obsessed with talisman making is inadvisable.

He looked at the talented Qu Jiu, for some reason, feeling quite close.

After a moment of contemplation, Black Ape Luo Chen said in a deep voice: ”From now on, follow me to learn talisman making!”

Qu Jiu was stunned, somewhat unable to react.

”Supreme Elder, I...”

”Just call me Master-grandfather.”

A firm hand patted Qu Jiu’s shoulder, Black Ape Luo Chen spoke thus.

His current proficiency in talisman making barely reached the third order in the system’s evaluation, not considered very formidable.

But teaching Qu Jiu was more than adequate.

Now with a large amount of talisman paper, his proficiency could be accumulated, it was imaginable how swiftly Luo Chen’s talisman making skills would advance next.

Qu Jiu learning from him and accepting his guidance would surely surpass struggling alone.

”I’ll first test your base in talisman making, then...”

Just as Black Ape Luo Chen was saying this, suddenly his voice halted.

He looked up, gazing distantly towards the direction of his main body.

”It really succeeded?”

”Then it seems Elder Fu’s arrival is imminent!”

Once Elder Fu arrives, the success in crafting the Fourth Order Pill will certainly not be hidden from others.

Such will prove that Luo Chen’s words during the Nascent Soul Formation ceremony were no exaggeration.

Indeed, he possessed the Grandmaster Realm of crafting a hundred pills, mastering everything!

Thus those who had yet to act, but had a strong demand for pills, would surely become restless.

”The carefree days of the main body are nearing their end.”

”Hopefully, those newly arriving will bring some novel pill formulas!”
