Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Deep within Daqing Mountain’s earth vein.

Luo Chen stood in a grotto, a faint smile on his face.

The Black King hadn’t lied to him; indeed, a Spirit Cave had formed here!

It was quite a coincidence really; Fenghua Palace was destroyed, leaving a breach in the array that constrained the Spirit Vein. Although it didn’t lead to Spirit Qi dispersing, it indeed reduced restraining power.

Combined with Black King’s Spirit Gathering Talent, it forcefully gathered a Fourth-rank Spirit Cave at this earth vein node.

If it is well-nurtured next, coupled with relevant Gathering Spirit Arrays, perhaps in a hundred or so years, Baili Qingchuan might just evolve into a Fourth Order Spirit Vein!

If it were before, Luo Chen would have been ecstatic beyond words.

But now, he was merely happy for a moment.

”Baili Qingchuan is ultimately too small.”

”Not to mention establishing a sect, supporting my personal cultivation alone is not nearly enough, even with an additional Fourth-rank Spirit Cave, it is the same.”

The smile on Luo Chen’s face gradually disappeared.

He glanced at the puppet standing behind him, completely shrouded in a black robe.

”Gold Feather...” Luo Chen shook his head, as the name felt awkward, ”From now on, I’ll call you Jin San!”

Having decided on the name, with a thought, Jin San leaped into the Spirit Cave, sitting cross-legged.

A large amount of Spirit Qi was drawn and began to gather towards its body.

Puppets need to be refined, but also nurtured!

The puppet that Mi Shuhua had crafted from a physical body was exactly like this.

Tian Xingzi found a Second Order Spirit Vein, nurtured it for many years before the younger generation came to claim it.

Luo Chen’s puppet has an even stronger foundation, the materials used were more precious, especially since Luo Chen had integrated his own flesh and blood into it, refining it with techniques from Luo Yun Sect and Ancient Puppet Dao. The nurturing conditions required are even more stringent.

The Fourth-rank Spirit Cave came just at the right moment!

”Cultivate well, and also deepen the understanding of Puppet Dao!”

Luo Chen ordered, then walked out.

Next, he needed to return to Lingtian Pass.

...

Whoosh!

A flying shuttle pierced through the clouds, speeding through the air.

The white-robed Daoist inside kept performing Dao Law Methods towards a ring floating mid-air.

Suddenly, he brushed his hand over it, and the ring radiated golden light before disappearing without a trace.

”Finally unlocked it!”

This ring was none other than Gold Feather’s storage ring!

In the past, unlocking the storage rings of cultivators of the same rank would take Luo Chen from several months to several years.

But as his attainments in the Path of Array advanced to the Fourth Order, combined with his increasingly strong Divine Soul Endowment, unlocking lingering prohibitions had become quite easy.

This time, it only took a month to naturally unlock the prohibition left by Gold Feather.

With a thought, his Divine Consciousness probed within.

After a while, Luo Chen slowly withdrew his Divine Consciousness, and a few booklets appeared in his hands.

”Life-taking Three Golden Feathers”

”Five Elements Divine Pill”

”Golden Escape Technique”

...

Gold Feather’s legacy was much ”poorer” than expected.

Whether Spirit Stones or elixirs, there were very few.

This was also in line with the situation of most cultivators after over a hundred years of battle, as resources for cultivation were becoming increasingly scarce.

The majority of his collection, however, was various ores.

Those were actually the most valuable part of his legacy.

If Luo Chen ever needed to craft any Magic Items in the future, those ores would be quite useful.

For now, though, what interested him were these cultivation technique books from the Five Elements Divine Sect.

”There’s even a Pill Formula?”

Luo Chen picked up the pill formula for the Five Elements Divine Pill and began to read.

This famous elixir, Luo Chen was familiar with; when he was at Core Formation, Jin Buque had sent one to him.

He had used it; just like the Starry Pill, it embraced the philosophy of balancing the Five Elements, and the Five Elements Divine Pill was far superior to the Starry Pill.

However, with increased knowledge, while Luo Chen still admired the Five Elements Pill, he also thought calling it a ”Divine Pill” might be somewhat exaggerated.

But now, after reading the pill formula, Luo Chen’s face showed a hint of astonishment.

”It’s actually a fragmented recipe?”

He could never have imagined that the Five Elements Divine Pill, the most renowned of the Five Elements Divine Sect, was only derived from a fragmented recipe.

This clearly transcribed pill formula recorded the basic situation, and a complete Five Elements Divine Pill, when refined, would be at the Fifth-Order level.

Worthy of its name as a Divine Pill!

The Five Elements Divine Sect was unable to refine it because too much related content was missing.

Only some pharmacology and a few material names were present.

In terms of completeness, it was estimated to be only a tenth or twentieth, even more incomplete than the Ti Hu Pill’s pill formula.

”It’s missing too much; even I can’t fully supplement it.”

Just scanning through it briefly, Luo Chen gave up the idea of completing the pill formula.

Too many specific material names were missing; he could at most construct a framework based on pharmacology, but couldn’t control the specific medicinal properties’ direction.

He feared pouring in hundreds of years of effort still wouldn’t yield any results.

Putting away the Five Elements Divine Pill formula, Luo Chen’s gaze swept over another few books.

Some unimportant ones he directly skipped, intending to use them as low-order inheritance for the Luo Tian Sect later.

Ultimately, his attention focused on the two highest-order texts.

”Life-taking Three Golden Feathers” seemed to be Gold Feather’s Master Cultivation Technique, also the origin of his Daoist title.

After roughly browsing, Luo Chen understood that it was a very complete Fourth Order Metal Type Technique.

It not only documented the corresponding cultivation methods but also included three Fourth Order Metal Element Magic techniques and the method to refine the Lifebound Golden Feather.

[Take Brocade Pheasant Feather, combine with a large amount of Geng Gold... if Nine Yang Geng Metal is available, even better!]

”Brocade Pheasant Feather?” Luo Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed, he knew this Demon Beast.

The Jinxiu Immortal he met before was rumored to have the body of a brocade pheasant.
