Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

In ancient times, there existed a great turtle, known as the Xuan, whose lifespan extended over thirty thousand years!

It is said that, in its normal activities, it breathed only three times a day.

When it fell into a deep slumber, it breathed only once every three hundred years.

During these three hundred years, it remained motionless like a mountain, resembling a dead object with no signs of life. When it took a breath after three hundred years, it devoured an entire region of Heaven and Earth Qi, a spectacle truly alarming.

”In my early years, I acquired a basic doctrine known as ’Turtle Spirit Armor’. It allows one to imitate this creature’s breathing, regulate the leakage of Essence Qi, while also concealing one’s own mana fluctuation.”

”Although this doctrine is basic, I have also cultivated body refinement techniques similar to it, and possess protective treasure armor made from Xuan Turtle Remains, which emits the aura of the Xuan Turtle.”

”Luo Lingxi, you may not know, but a Xuan Turtle likes to live in groups while alive and even desires to share a tomb after death. Should a similar aura be emitted, they will respond to each other.”

”Just now, at that moment, that big fellow mistook me for a kindred, and even considered me a senior with purer bloodline, hence its willingness to obey.”

Perhaps because Luo Lingxi called him ”father,” Luo Chen was in an exceptionally good mood tonight.

Before the other went to sleep, Luo Chen explained the previous events.

Luo Lingxi lay on the bed, eyes bright and beaming at Luo Chen with admiration.

”Father, can I learn that technique? Lingxi also wants the great turtle to carry me across the abyssal seas.”

”You, of course not...” The words were on Luo Chen’s lips, but he swallowed them back.

He looked at the boy’s thin frame and smiled.

”Of course you can!”

It was merely a basic doctrine, easy to modify with his current realm.

Regardless of whether Luo Lingxi could cultivate in the future, mastering a guiding technique to regulate health is always beneficial.

”Sleep now! I’ll teach you when you wake up in the morning.”

Luo Lingxi responded excitedly, looking forward to it as sleepiness suddenly overwhelmed him.

Children are like that, full of energy one moment and can fall asleep deeply the next.

Especially after a busy day.

Luo Chen got up from the bedside, not far away, to the window, gazing from the unfamiliar scene below the mountain to the bright moon in the sky.

He chuckled lightly.

”The moon of this Holy Land doesn’t seem any different!”

...

Early the next morning.

Lingtian City Lord arrived at Yingxian Peak.

As he descended from the air, he saw two figures, one old and one young, sitting cross-legged under a large pine tree, lips moving slightly, breath seemingly nonexistent.

However, one’s breathing was long and continuous, while the other’s was scattered and not pure.

Perhaps sensing someone’s arrival, the elder stood up quietly and walked towards him.

”City Lord, good morning!”

Lingtian City Lord smiled helplessly, ”Haven’t I mentioned before, once we entered Mingyuan, we are fellow disciples. Especially now as I no longer preside at Lingtian Pass, you can call me Senior Brother Ye.”

Luo Chen laughed: ”Senior Brother Ye.”

Ye Lingtian glanced curiously at the boy still practicing the breathing technique, ”Your son isn’t yet twelve, is he? So young and already cultivating?”

Luo Chen explained: ”That’s not Qi Refinement, merely a breathing technique. Strictly speaking, it’s a Qi Guiding Skill tailored for him, which can guide his breathing rhythm.”

Qi Guiding Skill?

Ye Lingtian took another curious look.

Here, he indeed noticed some subtleties.

Luo Lingxi’s breathing focused more on internal adjustment rather than external interaction.

Although currently unskilled, if continued, within a year or two, he would achieve something.

This doctrine suits children under twelve, not yet ready for cultivation.

First, regulate oneself, then interact with external Heaven and Earth Qi, which would stabilize his foundation on the cultivation path.

But Ye Lingtian recalled never seeing Luo Lingxi practice like this before.

Moreover, if Luo Chen had this technique, why hadn’t he taught it to his son earlier?

Could it be that he invented it recently?

He tentatively asked: ”This technique is quite marvelous. If promoted, it might lay the foundation for the Sect’s young talents. Did you develop it yourself?”

Luo Chen waved it off, ”Just a basic doctrine, not intricate, doesn’t need promotion.”

Then he shifted the conversation to the purpose of the visit.

Ye Lingtian did not dwell on the trivial past and stated his purpose.

”Two matters!”

”The Alchemy Saint Hall’s heritage trials started before your arrival, the ancestor has already initiated it early, and you can observe anytime. Once the official trials arrive, you’ll be well-prepared.”

”Additionally, my junior brother who has been to the South Border has also exited seclusion, you may visit him at any time.”

Having said that, he blinked.

”Between the two matters, one is light and the other is heavy, I suggest you first take a look at the Alchemy Saint Hall.”

Luo Chen, without hesitation, provided an answer.

”Senior Brother, please first introduce that junior brother to me.”
