Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Sunset and dusk.

The golden afterglow bathed the wide streets of Lingtian Pass, painting the ground in shimmering gold.

Cultivators busily traversed back and forth among them.

Among them was only a leisurely idle shadow, walking unhurriedly in the city, seeming out of place.

Luo Chen suddenly sighed.

”In the end, it’s idle!”

At such a strategic moment, Hui Niang proposed wanting a child, which was really different from her usually thoughtful nature.

But Luo Chen could understand.

Now Sima Huiniang had long stepped down from the position of Sect Master of Luotian Sect, and no longer needed to worry about sect affairs big or small.

Although she had stepped down before, she still had the life and death of the sect to consider.

But with Luo Chen’s return, she didn’t need to worry about even that.

Because of the Spirit Beetle issue, Luo Chen did not allow her to continue cultivation.

Over time, Sima Huiniang became completely idle.

For an immortal cultivator, not cultivating, not doing anything, not enjoying life, and seeing your lifespan slip away day by day, it was no different from the most excruciating torture!

To dispel this anguish, she volunteered to manage the newly built Luotian Treasure Pavilion.

But with Luo Chen’s fame outside, Luotian Sect cultivators assisting, and personnel from the Tianyuan Business Alliance guiding in the background, it did not need her efforts.

Ultimately, she formed other thoughts.

Just like cultivators with insufficient talent, when they grow older, they instinctively wish to leave behind a legacy, or perhaps a bloodline.

She wanted a child, to pin all her attention and hope on her bloodline descendants.

This thinking wasn’t wrong; the mistake was in this chaotic world.

Even Luo Chen couldn’t guarantee his own safety, so how could he easily let his offspring face the trials and tribulations of the Immortal Cultivation World?

”Let’s look at the future!”

Luo Chen sighed again, slowly returning to his cave mansion.

...

One after another, spirit lights floated in the air.

Luo Chen gazed for a while, then pushed them one by one in front of Red Dog.

”These illusion core weapons range from magic artifact level to lower grade magic items, all encompassing.”

”Although there is no specific refining method, with my artifact refining ability, based on the arrays, materials, and refining techniques, I can always reverse-engineer a rough blueprint. If all else fails, I can use the system to verify if the blueprint is qualified.”

”Additionally, here is the refining manual left by Feiyun Zi in the past; take it and study it carefully for reference.”

Red Dog Puppet quietly accepted these items; with shared understanding, Luo Chen didn’t need to say anything himself.

He suddenly opened his mouth.

Opposite him, Luo Chen’s fingertips trembled lightly, and a flicker of blue and white flame slowly flew out, entering Red Dog Puppet’s mouth.

This was a fire seed of the Prosperity and Decline True Fire, containing a part of Luo Chen’s qi power.

It might not be adequate for combat.

But it was more than enough to assist Red Dog Puppet in dismantling magical weapons and treasures.

After instructing all this, Luo Chen entered a mystical chamber in the cave mansion.

Inside, it was chilling cold, with stacks of ice blocks.

An ice coffin lay in the center, with Cang Long lying quietly inside, still frowning.

A shake of Luo Chen’s hand produced an ice book made of profound ice.

”Ten Directions Freeze Extreme Dao”

This was the core cultivation technique of Ice Castle in the past, only cultivable by inner sect disciples with Water Spirit Root and Ice Attribute Spiritual Roots.

When Jueqing Fairy handed the ice coffin to Luo Chen, she also gave this book to him.

This was an act of utmost betrayal for externally transmitting the core cultivation of the sect!

But Ice Castle was already virtually non-existent; Jueqing Fairy had no choice but to do this to save Cang Long.

Luo Chen’s gaze swept over the ice book, not particularly caring about the cultivation techniques.

Even though this book was set of Fourth Order Cultivation Technique leading directly to the Nascent Soul Stage.

What he cared about were the sealing skills and arrays recorded above.

”I have already gained entry into the Ice Extreme Seal; I can unlock the seal on Cang Long at any time to awaken her.”

”But the time is not ripe!”

”I might not have that much time next, so I must be prepared, quickly grasp these ice type arrays, and harness the force of profound ice’s coldness, to prevent the ice coffin from collapsing.”

Luo Chen’s thoughts flickered as he word by word perused the arrays in ”Ten Directions Freeze Extreme Dao.”

...

Three days later.

In the west city tower of Lingtian Pass, the Black Ape Puppet slowly opened its eyes.

In its sight, Luo Chen walked in, appearing slightly weary.

”I have settled things over there, and will personally guard this place next. Don’t slack off, there are other important matters for you.”

”Here is the Puppet Technique handed in by Qin Yuanjiang to the sect, originating from the Luo Yun Sect.”

”You should study it well, perhaps you can find the specific doctrines Han Zhan used in the past to control that White Tiger Puppet.”

The Black Ape Puppet, silent, took those voluminous books and quietly went to a corner to read.

These puppet techniques were not submitted by Qin Yuanjiang at first.

It was after Luo Chen returned and passed the ”Soul Cleaving Technique” to him; he only handed it over after deeply contemplating.

Frankly, these puppet techniques might be quite intricate, but their level wasn’t really high, not even comparable to those ancient puppet techniques Luo Chen collected in the North Sea years ago.

However, what mattered was that these puppet techniques shared a lineage with Han Zhan!

Back then, Han Zhan was able to subdue the White Tiger Puppet with only the Early Nascent Soul Stage by relying on the puppetry of Luo Yun Sect.

Perhaps, Luo Chen’s mastery of that puppet’s opportunity lay within these tomes.

If equipped with this puppet, in the upcoming battle, he would gain another trump card.

Once the Black Ape settled down, Luo Chen glanced at the crescent moon outside the west tower and waved casually at the ground.
