Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The so-called Two Forms, is the essence of the Great Dao Path, representing Yin and Yang.

It is said that when the heavens and earth were first opened, all was chaotic, also known as Wuji. Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji rises to Two Forms, and from Two Forms emerges the Four Symbols and Eight Diagrams, and subsequently all things in the heavens and earth.

This principle, known even to novice youths just beginning on the path of Qi Refinement, is naturally known to Luo Chen.

Yet matters in this world are always easy to know but difficult to execute, and even the ”knowing” itself is often not simple.

Luo Chen was able to understand the concept of Two Forms Yin-Yang during his long-term study and arrangement of arrays, gradually realizing it from Feng Shui studies.

From the array, one can infer that in other matters, the so-called opposition of Yin and Yang also exists.

And in the refinement of the Two Forms Pill, this concept is applied to the extreme Luo Chen currently faces!

Various materials must correspond to water and fire, maintaining consistent order, and must maintain sufficient balance.

Moreover, unlike usual elixir refinement where auxiliary materials are processed in advance, the refinement of the Two Forms Pill directly starts with the two primary materials.

The difficulty therein is imaginable.

After all, many things advance from small to large, from easy to difficult, gradually and sequentially approaching success.

There is rarely an instance where the difficulty is elevated to the maximum right from the start.

Yet Luo Chen must proceed this way; only by merging the two primary materials of water and fire to a state of Two Forms balance can it accommodate all things.

For this, Luo Chen must focus all his spirit.

First warming the Furnace Ding with Earth Fire, conserving Qi Power, this process lasted for a full three days.

Under Luo Chen’s precise control, the temperature of the Ding gradually reached the ideal state.

Then with a flick of his finger, Dried Origin Fire Marrow and Netherworld Cold Spring simultaneously entered the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Upon entry, the two extremely opposite attributes of materials erupted into the most extreme conflict.

”All things embrace Yin and carry Yang, Qi clashes to bring harmony!”

”To let them coexist harmoniously and reach a balanced unified state, more powerful forces must suppress them!”

With his mind flickering, Luo Chen opened his mouth and spat.

A flame of two colors, blue and white, flew out slowly, completely enveloping the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

It was the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire!

As soon as this fire appeared, the entire Earth Fire Hall trembled momentarily.

Even Chen Mozi, who was refining auxiliary materials, raised his head in shock to look at Luo Chen.

”What kind of Original Source True Fire is he using? Its power makes all fires tremble!”

Fortunately, it was not a critical stage for Chen Mozi’s pill refinement just then, otherwise, this interruption could have cost him his entire previous efforts.

Luo Chen ignored others; once the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire spreads, its consumption of Qi Power is immeasurable.

In his usual pill refinement, he only dared to use a thread or two, unlike this moment with a whole surge!

But the effect was surprisingly good!

Once the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire enveloped the Primordial Chaos Tripod, the conflicting water and fire materials inside instantly calmed down.

Both sides began to merge together bit by bit under the Pill Technique Luo Chen deployed.

This process was very slow, very slow, but as long as it progressed smoothly, all would be well!

Luo Chen was willing to wait.

One day, two days... Unknowingly, three months had already passed.

Bang!

A soft sound suddenly rose in the Earth Fire Hall.

Amidst a puff of ash, Chen Mozi staggered back, his face covered in soot.

His expression was bleak, yet in the end, he could only smile bitterly.

Ultimately, it was a failure!

He had considered this result since even the Pill Formula was hastily created with available materials, lacking any expertise.

Yet accepting this failure was far more painful than imagined.

The failure was not only in refinement but also in losing the chance at Pill Saint Inheritance that was already beyond his reach.

Furthermore, the step he had just taken courageously forward met with a decisive blow.

”Mr. Xuan Yan advised me not to rigidly adhere to tradition, to bravely innovate, and explore changes exhaustively. Yet the world always operates by established rules, how can it so easily break conventional norms!”

He sighed and swept away the residue in the copper cauldron before leaving in sorrow.

But before leaving, he inadvertently glanced toward the opposite side.

That blue and white flame was still burning slowly!

In the illusory space, the focused Luo Chen seemed undisturbed by any outer world affairs.

But his face was paler, even more than someone like him who had just faced failure.

”What exactly is he attempting to refine?”

”It took him full three months just for the first step!”

”Imagine how much longer the rest will take.”

Chen Mozi shook his head and left the Earth Fire Hall quietly without disturbing Luo Chen.

Pill Saint Inheritance is not for him; why act so petty?

Considering how difficult Luo Chen found the first step now, it’s likely he won’t succeed in refining the pill either, nor will he witness the Pill Saint Inheritance.

For Luo Chen at this moment, the Pill Saint Inheritance is already cast aside.

What occupies his thoughts and vision is only the red and blue viscous liquid slowly merging in the Furnace Ding.

His entire spirit is tense to the limit!

”Why is it still not successfully blending into one?”

”Though Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire can suppress all, under the surface harmony of the two materials, it’s the internal extreme conflict. In this conflict, the medicinal force is continuously dissipating.”

”Where exactly is the problem?”

Luo Chen kept questioning wildly in his heart.

Merging the two primary materials began smoothly enough.

Perhaps because the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire also subtly contained the Two Forms Yin-Yang principle, what Luo Chen thought was the hardest step progressed quite smoothly.

But at the last moment, it couldn’t be completed.

Thus, he was stuck here, watching helplessly as the two primary materials clash, repel, and waste energy randomly.
