Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Bring it out!”

Faced with the Black King’s eagerness to please, Luo Chen was not surprised.

This guy just loves doing such things.

Last time when pursuing the Demon Emperor, while everyone was busy exploring the tracks of the Great Demon, the Black King secretly sneaked into the Dieyun Sect and got him dozens of jars of fine wine.

This time it’s the same.

However, considering True Master Shenyuan’s capabilities, the Black King didn’t dare to go too far and merely took some good things from Shenyuan Peak.

A mass of black light spewed out from the Black King’s mouth, Luo Chen’s divine consciousness penetrated within.

Books!

A vast number of books, densely packed, amounted to hundreds if not thousands.

Many were ancient texts, but there were also quite a few newer volumes.

Luo Chen casually picked one and glanced through it, finding himself involuntarily absorbed into it.

”Detailed Analysis of the Five Elements Technique”

After a while, his attention withdrew from the book, and he couldn’t help but show a look of admiration on his face.

”I thought Shenyuan had a high understanding of the Five Elements Technique, but I didn’t expect it to be this high. Each type of technique, each tier, has insights and theories, and when used in actual combat, they complement each other, greatly enhancing the power.”

”Moreover, looking at these texts, it’s evident that these were written during his early Nascent Soul stage. Truly a genius of his generation!”

Amidst his admiration, Luo Chen scanned the rest of the titles at a glance.

”Yangyi Dao Skill·Supplement”

”Kongming Sword Manual”

”Seven True Jiedan Skill”

”Five Elements Divine Pill”

...

The sheer number of texts nearly made Luo Chen’s eyes dazzle.

Unlike most high-order cultivators who only collect high-order dao laws, True Master Shenyuan’s library also included many mid to low-order cultivation techniques.

Such as ”Seven True Jiedan Skill,” which records seven high-grade core formation secret arts, was among them.

Not only that, but ”Slaying Dragon Technique,” which Luo Chen practiced in his early years, was surprisingly listed!

Luo Chen skimmed through it and, to his surprise, discovered that the soul-cutting divine skill that emerged after he reached finalization was actually within Shenyuan’s prediction.

At the time, Shenyuan had experimented multiple times and found it unsuccessful, only making a prediction before ceasing to refine the technique further.

Yet unexpectedly, Luo Chen ended up verifying his speculation.

Looking at the plethora of books, Luo Chen’s mood improved.

If he could digest these texts, not only could he greatly broaden his knowledge, but he could also significantly advance in the Technique Dao!

Considering that True Master Shenyuan, who hadn’t comprehended the true intent of laws, could perform powerful techniques akin to divine powers, showed his profound intelligence in this field.

For ordinary people, having these things might not be very useful.

But for Luo Chen, it was like a pillow for a sleeping person.

”Maybe I can use this to create a divine power suited to my Dao of Fire?”

Luo Chen muttered, filled with hope.

Unlike when he comprehended the true intent of Withering and Flourishing and naturally realized the divine power Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger, this time, after understanding the Fire Origin in the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land, Luo Chen didn’t gain a corresponding divine power.

Actually, this is the norm!

Throughout history, many have grasped the true intent of laws.

But divine power skills often come from powerful individuals slowly summarizing and improving through extensive cultivation, emerging from ordinary techniques as potent methods.

Especially Five Elements Origin, being one of the most basic laws’ true intents, only lets a cultivator understand its fundamental principles, and the corresponding divine powers can only be developed by oneself or suggested by predecessors.

Like the Daoist Sect prodigies in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, who comprehended the true intent of laws, they also didn’t create any divine powers on their own.

It was later by relying on sect rewards that they learned some great divine powers left by predecessors.

Whether they were suitable or not, Luo Chen didn’t know.

However, since creating divine powers takes a long time, Luo Chen wasn’t in a rush.

He stored away the numerous texts in one go, then patted the thick dragon back of the Black King.

”Is there more?”

The Black King was stunned, then chuckled.

”I knew I couldn’t hide anything from the master’s dharma eye.”

As he spoke, another mass of black light was spewed from his mouth.

But this time, the brilliant five-colored light couldn’t be suppressed even with the Black King’s origin force.

Luo Chen’s gaze condensed, softly uttering: ”Five-colored Pagoda!”

It was indeed True Master Shenyuan’s natal magic item!

In that great battle, the number of magic items Shenyuan employed wasn’t numerous, only two.

One was the crystal flying sword, and the other was this pagoda.

The former was destroyed under the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, while the latter fought fiercely with Luo Chen’s lifebound magic treasure, Primordial Chaos Tripod, for a long time before being able to break away and assist Shenyuan in performing an extremely powerful combination technique.

This showed the extraordinary nature of this treasure!

Most notably, like his Primordial Chaos Tripod, this treasure also belongs to an entity encompassing the Five Elements.

”Indeed, Shenyuan and I are similar. Not only do we both have the Five Spirit Roots Constitution, but even our chosen natal magic items are similar.”

In his sigh, Luo Chen received the Five-colored Pagoda, examining it carefully.

At this moment, due to its owner’s demise, the treasure was severely damaged as a result of the mind-spirit connection.

Many formations collapsed, and bursts of spirit qi leaked out.

This was the primary reason Luo Chen realized the Black King had secretly kept this item.

During his research, Luo Chen slowly discovered some of the marvelous uses of the treasure.

Similar to the Primordial Chaos Tripod, its primary function was suppression!

From this perspective, the similarity in the early-stage cultivation direction of Shenyuan and Luo Chen was evident.

The Five Spirit Roots Cultivators possessed immense mana, but during cultivation, they often absorbed mixed spirit qi.

Therefore, besides its offensive functions, a natal magic item must also suppress mana agitation, refining mana impurities effectively.

”If in peak condition, this treasure’s value is no less than the Primordial Chaos Tripod, it’s just a pity...”
