Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen waved his hand, ”That’s too precious. Actually, by giving me this token, the kindness is already enough to exchange for that answer. However...”

Luo Chen gazed at the sky, this Blessed Land seemed to be sealed off, unreachable by others.

After all, the token had not been activated yet, equivalent to a closed gate.

Meanwhile, the vital energy of the elderly man opposite was rapidly dissipating, uncontrollably fading away, indicating he would soon pass away.

When a person is about to die...

Luo Chen took a deep breath and retrieved a jade box from his storage bag, gently pushing it toward Mr. Xuan Yan.

The elder received the jade box, held his breath, and carefully opened it.

A dazzling golden light entered his sight.

Instantly, the elder could not contain his excitement.

”A Fifth-Order Divine Pill!”

He looked up at Luo Chen opposite him in disbelief, ”Did you refine this?”

Luo Chen nodded, ”Yes, I refined it during the Golden Core Period, and its name is Law Extension. It took me three years to refine.”

”Impossible, simply impossible!” Mr. Xuan Yan seemed provoked, repeatedly stating it was impossible, ”How could such an elixir be refined during the Golden Core Period? Even Chu Yan barely managed to refine a Fifth-Order Divine Pill during the Nascent Soul Realm, gaining her fame as an Alchemy Saint. How could you...”

Luo Chen did not argue or explain.

He quietly watched the elder across him, akin to a child throwing a tantrum.

After some time, the elder calmed down.

The face that was grey and lifeless now bore an unnatural flush due to his previous intense emotions.

”A Fifth-Order Divine Pill, containing blood threads. Was it refined using Blood Refinement? No, it seems like some sort of Qi Power.”

”Its name is Law Extension, could it be beneficial for cultivation?”

”Merely smelling its pill fragrance gives one a sense of clarity and vibrant divine soul. Nevertheless, tremendous, even terrifying power lurks within. It seems unlikely that a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could bear it; only after Divine Transformation could one possibly withstand the fierce medicinal power.”

”It’s a shame that my time has come; otherwise, borrowing this pill might allow me a chance to wield Divinity Transformation Power.”

While murmuring, Mr. Xuan Yan reluctantly closed the jade box and returned it to Luo Chen.

Accompanying it was a thick bamboo slip.

Luo Chen carefully put away the Law Extension Divine Pill and then looked at the bamboo slip floating before him.

”Sir, I am ashamed as I do not deserve such a gift.”

Mr. Xuan Yan waved off the remark, ”It’s not the ’Xuan Yan’s Pill Book,’ merely a deduction of a fragmented recipe. You’ll realize once you take a look.”

With curiosity, Luo Chen unfolded the bamboo slip, feeling familiarity from the abundant words.

Instantly, he understood which elixir’s fragmented recipe it was.

”Ti Hu Pill!”

Luo Chen was overjoyed for a moment.

Mr. Xuan Yan seemed lost, affected by the impact from the Law Extension Divine Pill.

His failure in the last test was due to a limitation in his realm.

Now it appeared there was reason to believe Luo Chen might succeed.

It stemmed not only from the cultivation realm but also the Dao of Alchemy realm.

This young man was not merely a Grandmaster.

He was clearly a Saint Dan Dao comparable to Chu Yan!

”Indeed, I suspected you’d be interested in this fragmented recipe.”

”A friend asked me to refine this elixir, but I researched it for years and made little progress, mainly because it’s so incomplete.” Luo Chen conversed while flipping through the bamboo slip, suddenly: ”Eh, why are the medicinal ingredients paired so differently, even with contradictions?”

Mr. Xuan Yan laughed, ”That’s because the deductions recorded on this bamboo slip aren’t solely mine. Back in the day, Chu Yan also deduced the Ti Hu Pill, which was renowned in Ancient Times. Unfortunately, no complete elixir remains; otherwise, she would have reversed-engineered a complete pill formula.”

Luo Chen was surprised, realizing the bamboo slip was co-authored by the two.

Indeed, he had heard many were interested in Ti Hu Pill; even the Alchemy Saint had publicly collected incomplete versions of this Ancient Pill Recipe.

”Don’t hold too much hope for this bamboo slip. It merely deduces about seventy to eighty percent, and may still be on the wrong path. It’s just for reference,” Mr. Xuan Yan advised.

Luo Chen did not feel any disappointment; even as a reference, it surpassed his current aimlessness.

What Deng Taiyue gave him were chaotic, incomplete Ti Hu Pill fragments, lacking any cohesive system.

Otherwise, he would have completed ordinary Fourth Order Pill Formulas long ago.

Why delay for decades without much progress?

Seventy to eighty percent?

If even one or two routes were correct, Luo Chen was confident he could complete the whole formula!

Luo Chen accepted the bamboo slip with a smile, saying, ”Although I feel unworthy, this bamboo slip certainly benefits me greatly, so I will accept it.”

Compared to a lifetime of pill technique inheritance, a fragmented Fourth Order Pill is much less valuable.

Luo Chen expressed humility but felt no guilt.

Mr. Xuan Yan cared little for a fragmented recipe and directly sat on the grass.

He was somewhat fatigued.

”Let us begin!”

”I want to see what exactly Chu Yan left within the token; a pill technique alone couldn’t possibly warrant such effort.”

”While I still have a breath left.”

Luo Chen watched the weary old man, nodding firmly.

He had been in the Alchemy Saint Hall for over four years; his son awaited him outside.

Solving the Elixir Saint Token and completing the trial was an urgent task.

The wind stirred.

Luo Chen’s robes fluttered, and he slowly floated into the sky.

As before, his hands trembled rhythmically, methodically performing Dao Law Method, Qi Power surging along broad meridians toward his fingertips.
