Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Second Nascent Soul!

This term is not unfamiliar to Luo Chen.

In fact, he almost once had a Second Nascent Soul of his own.

But in the Land of Fallen Demons, that Second Prime Elixir which had been nurtured for nearly a hundred years, and whose realm was even higher than his Lifebound Golden Core, was unfortunately destroyed.

At that time, he didn’t regret it much.

Firstly, the Second Prime Elixir had replaced his Lifebound Golden Core to evade the attack of the Nine Refinement Beacon Fire and saved his life.

Secondly, that Second Prime Elixir was also a major backup plan for Han Zhan to snatch his body. If it really came out when breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, Han Zhan could fully use a Secret Technique, let his soul enter the Second Nascent Soul, and seamlessly occupy his Purple Mansion, achieving the perfect usurpation!

After Luo Chen counterattacked and killed Han Zhan, he was quite relieved that the Second Prime Elixir was destroyed.

Still.

In the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, after seeing Shi Ju’s Thunder Clone, Luo Chen began to reminisce about the Second Prime Elixir.

An External Incarnation is naturally a Divine Power beyond his reach.

But a slightly inferior Second Nascent Soul is still an extremely powerful method in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Reminiscence is just reminiscence in the end.

The Art of Origin Core can only be practiced during the Golden Core Period.

To forcibly cultivate the Art of Origin Core during the Nascent Soul Stage, it is impossible to condense a Second Nascent Soul, because there is no heavenly infusion after a breakthrough Thunder Tribulation.

This technique, he could only watch helplessly, at most selecting suitable talents within the Luo Tian Sect, letting them try to practice the Art of Origin Core during the Golden Core Period.

For this, he even used Divine Consciousness to examine all the Golden Core cultivators in Luo Tian Sect.

The only one currently meeting the requirements to practice the Art of Origin Core is Li Yingzhang.

Because one of the innate limitations of practicing the Art of Origin Core is having exceptionally deep Qi Power, different from ordinary people.

Li Yingzhang has the Body of Nine Twists and Turns. Although his foundation is not as perfect as during the Foundation Establishment, his Qi Power still surpasses his peers at present.

Luo Chen plans to let him learn this Secret Technique after he reaches the Middle Stage of the Golden Core Period.

Of course, Luo Chen would not engage in soul-snatching, naturally leaving no backdoor in the technique.

Going off on a tangent.

After Luo Chen refined the Nine Li Pill for Jiuling Yuanjun, the long-dead heart for a Second Nascent Soul in him reawakened.

If he can separate a ”spirit baby,” and combine it with the soul splits from the Soul Cleaving Technique, wouldn’t it be ingeniously similar to a real Second Nascent Soul?

Of course, this is just a sudden idea of Luo Chen’s.

No foundation, no corresponding Secret Cultivation Methods, not even his own Nine Li Pill.

Moreover, the numerous challenges it involves are not something Luo Chen can solve.

For instance, how to cultivate those nine tumors on Jiuling Yuanjun’s Nascent Soul!

Another example, when separating the tumors, can merely relying on elixirs avoid harming the main body of the Nascent Soul?

The former is a threshold, a foundation, but the latter could ruin three hundred years of arduous cultivation... not two hundred, but with the fifty years in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, that’s close to three hundred years of cultivation. Mishandling it could lead to all of his achievements being wiped out!

”Let’s study it bit by bit!”

”If possible, asking Jiuling Yuanjun for some insights might also offer some inspiration.”

Luo Chen ultimately could not suppress his inner greed.

The prospect of a Second Nascent Soul, or even more Nascent Souls, is simply too wonderful.

If successful, it’s not just about increasing Qi Power like Jiuling Yuanjun, or practicing a major technique.

For him, if truly successful, combined with the Proficiency Panel, he could potentially achieve mastery over all professions and schools of thought!

Such a future, how terrifying!

How could he not be moved by it?

...

”Husband, I’m back.”

”Qin’er, were you able to find out about little Jiu’s situation?”

”Yes, I found out, he wasn’t missing recently but was learning the Talisman Making Technique from the Supreme Elder all along.”

”Is Master also proficient in Talisman making?”

In a secluded Cave Mansion, Qu Lingjun showed a look of surprise.

With admiration in her tone, Meng Qin’er said, ”I didn’t quite believe it at first either, but indeed a batch of extremely high-quality Second Order Talismans appeared at Sect Leader Li’s place. In my opinion, the talisman making level even surpasses those fine talismans that the Shen Fu Sect offers for auction.”

Qu Lingjun blinked, then laughed wryly.

No wonder he is his master, mastering everything, unstoppable in every endeavor.

Seeing Qu Lingjun smiling, Meng Qin’er was rather helpless.

”Husband, you’re still able to smile?”

Qu Lingjun smiled and said, ”Why wouldn’t I smile? Master treats me and my father so generously, I’m genuinely happy from the bottom of my heart!”

”Father and son?” Meng Qin’er slightly frowned, glancing around: ”Are you referring to not letting you regain control of the Alchemy Institute and sending you to such a remote place away from the core of the Sect?”

Qu Lingjun shook his head and said calmly, ”Over the past year of solitude, I gradually came to understand. Master seemingly neglecting me is actually giving me an opportunity.”

”Opportunity?”

”Yes, do you think, if I were in charge of the Alchemy Institute, holding power, at this time when Luo Tian Sect is in ruins, what would I do?”

Meng Qin’er responded without hesitation, ”Naturally, concoct more pills, and recover your lost reputation, thereby establishing prestige among the fellow disciples and gaining everyone’s affection.”

Qu Lingjun smiled and said, ”And a hundred years later... no, forty years later?”

Meng Qin’er was dumbfounded.

She naturally understood his implication.

If things really went that way, forty years later, as Qu Lingjun’s time came to an end, all the glory and disgrace would only turn into a handful of dust.
