Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

In the Pill Room.

A figure lay sprawled on the ground, his life and death uncertain, surrounded by a red light barrier.

Luo Chen glanced at Qi Yi and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, the realm was too low, and his own carelessness led to the moment the furnace opened, the powerful Pill Power surged in all directions, knocking him out.

If he hadn’t reacted in time to protect him, he might have died from the Pill Refinement.

The reason for this occurrence, aside from the Pill Refiner himself, also lay in the power of the elixir being refined and the Primordial Chaos Tripod!

The Pill Power of the elixir was too strong, yet not stronger than the Primordial Chaos Tripod, which was suppressing it tightly.

Thus, when the furnace was opened, it abruptly burst out in all directions.

At this moment, Luo Chen, with a touch of curiosity, looked up at the sky.

After the surge, the vast medicinal power began to slowly retract, flowing into nine elixir pills that seemed like stars.

Faintly, there were low roaring sounds in the void.

It was unclear whether the rapid recollection of the medicinal power caused it, or whether the Nine Li Pill itself was too peculiar.

”Generally, elixirs emphasize fusion and condensation, achieving ultimate accumulation before forming the pill.”

”However, this Nine Li Pill is unique; it must see the heavens and earth before willing to merge together.”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, listening to the buzzing roar at his ear.

However, as he listened to the roar, Luo Chen’s smile gradually faded, his expression becoming uncertain and suspicious.

This kind of ”Dan Sound” is neither like a cow nor a wolf.

While deep and weighty, it also has a mournful sharpness.

Among the main ingredients is a Golden Core of Nine Foxes, but how could Nine Foxes produce such a sound.

Instead, this sound resembles a demon race recorded in the Demon Realm race annals he read in the third stage of the Alchemy Realm in the Land of Fallen Demons.

Suddenly, memories emerged.

”Nine-headed Howl: Born with nine heads, each with its own ambitions, different in disposition, some violent, some docile. They reside in the Great Marsh, fond of demon fruits, possessing innate powers, controlling earth, wind, water, fire. Legend has it that they are descendants of Xiang Liu, one of the three Ancient Demons of the Demon Realm. They are enemies with the Aberrant Eye Clan, both descendants of the bloodline of Candle Dragon, hunting each other for thousands of years. However, the Aberrant Eye Clan band together, while Nine-headed Howl is solitary, leading this demon to gradually disappear from the Demon Realm. This demon is a taboo, vulnerable to thunder and lightning, to the cutting edge of metal...”

Following these memories, Luo Chen continuously integrated all the information.

Initially, the Nine-headed Howl did not have nine heads; they were individual lumps. Each time a lump grew a head, it would gain an ability.

That demon fruit, translated to the terms of Human Cultivators, is actually Spirit Essence.

The ultimate refined product of all things in the world.

Piece by piece, drop by drop, Luo Chen finally reached a judgment.

Jiuling Yuanjun’s Cultivation Technique indeed originated from the Demon Realm, even using Nine-headed Howl as a template to create it.

Thus, his Nascent Soul would have something resembling lumps.

Moreover, he is also skilled at refining Nine Heavens Qi!

Understanding these, Luo Chen suddenly realized.

Even if these things did not provide him with an actual boost, his knowledge had indeed improved.

But another problem suddenly arose.

How could there be a Cultivation Technique created using the demon race as a template in the Mountain Sea Realm?

He had never heard that this realm had a demon race.

Even that Refining Heaven Demon Monarch actually came from outside the heavens.

Outside the heavens...

For some reason, Luo Chen recalled the Ascension of Alchemy Saint Chu Yan, where the place she went was definitely not the legendary Immortal Realm.

The Spirit Mechanism that enabled her Ascension was intercepted by the Sect Master of Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

She went through the Star Gate to another place.

There are rumors in the Immortal Cultivation World that although the Mountain Sea Realm has indigenous humans, it has always been dominated by Savage Beasts.

Until the Ancient Times when the Five Great Sacred Lands suddenly arose, slaughtering Savage Beasts massively.

To protect themselves, the Savage Beasts abandoned their original path, transforming into demon beasts to pursue rapid Cultivation, thus resulting in the Ancient Human and Demon War.

Luo Chen continued gazing upward at the Pill Room ceiling, but his gaze seemed to pierce through the roof, looking towards the Outer World, looking beyond the Nine Heavens.

”Any strong figure, any power, leaves traces as they pass, and upheavals are inevitable when they rise.”

”The sudden emergence of the Five Great Sacred Lands leaves no trace, with only one explanation — they aren’t native to the Mountain Sea Realm, but come from another world, possibly behind the Central Continent Star Gate...”

”Moreover, that world is connected to the Demon Realm, thus bringing numerous miraculous techniques during its descent to the Mountain Sea Realm, establishing a complete, organized system.”

”An Open War, the creation of a domain, an ocean — if looking at this on a larger scale, could the descent of the Five Great Sacred Lands be considered an Open War to establish a world instead of merely a domain or an ocean?”

Thoughts and musings erupted within Luo Chen’s mind.

Unbelievable, unimaginable, yet when connected by various clues, reasonable and continuously approaching the truth.

All these conjectures stemmed from the nine floating elixirs in the sky.

Suddenly, Luo Chen became alert, beckoning to the Nine Li Pill in the air.

Ding ding dong dong.

The large and small beads fell upon the jade plate, and Luo Chen collected the elixirs, taking Qi Yi out of the Pill Room.

...

In the most solemn Luo Tian Grand Hall atop Daqing Mountain, Li Yingzhang inhabited the upper seat, his gaze falling upon three people and a beast in the hall.

The leading woman had profound Cultivation Level; in Razolian Sect, not counting the Supreme Elders, presumably only Wang Yuan and Sima Huiniang could suppress her.

No, now that Sima Huiniang’s realm has fallen, she might not be more formidable than the woman.

However, what made Li Yingzhang most fearful was the demon beast lying on the young woman’s shoulder!
