Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

What does ”Those who observe the abyssal fish portend misfortune, those who perceive hidden concealments bring disaster” mean?

It means that overly intelligent people often have no good endings.

Curiosity can kill!

Master Ming Lei’s expression was stiff, detecting the hidden threat in Luo Chen’s words.

He had to force a reluctant smile, ”Brother Qi is overthinking it.”

Luo Chen waved his hand, ”Actually, there’s no need for you to speculate too much. Whether to Wind and Thunder Gorge or the Feng Family, I am just a passer-by, why dig so deep? Besides, as Wind and Thunder Gorge can produce Nascent Soul experts like you, it’s not unusual for another like me to appear, right!”

Upon saying this, he blinked.

Master Ming Lei understood, and said in a deep voice, ”Indeed, it is so. Brother Qi was originally a rogue cultivator of Wind and Thunder Gorge, practiced diligently for years, and once he emerged from the retreat, he then possessed extraordinary abilities!”

Luo Chen laughed.

With Master Ming Lei covering up, his background even has an origin.

In future travels to the South Border, he can well use the identity of the Second Cave Lord of Wind and Thunder Gorge.

Even if someone wanted to explore deeply, the added layer of disguise would make it rare for anyone to associate it with the identity of ”Alchemy Sect Luo Chen” from the Eastern Wasteland.

Of course!

There would certainly be many untenable points.

But to Luo Chen, it didn’t matter.

Just as he said, he was merely a passer-by; as long as the matters were completed, the rest didn’t matter.

At the moment, Luo Chen was more concerned about another matter.

”When will we set out for Mi Realm Mountain?”

Mi Realm Mountain was not the place where Master Ming Lei last attended the Southern Border Nascent Soul cultivators’ exchange meeting.

However, it is the venue for the next similar gathering.

It’s rumored that it is also the base camp of the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance!

Master Ming Lei immediately replied, ”As soon as I handle the trivial matters here, we can set off!”

”Very well, Brother Qi awaits.”

Luo Chen did not urge further; he believed now that he had shown great strength, the other party would not dare deceive him.

Master Ming Lei took his leave.

Luo Chen did not see him off but started to browse the numerous body refinement methods submitted by the cultivators of Wind and Thunder Gorge.

These body refinement methods were not of very high order.

But they all carried a very rich Southland style.

What is the so-called Southland style?

The answer is self-evident: using various gu insects to assist in body refinement.

The Qi Power Gu that Master Ming Lei gave him earlier was the most basic yet orthodox among them.

The ones submitted by these rogue cultivators were myriad and bizarre.

Some pressed the physical body with extreme heavy burdens, tempered strong endurance, requiring heavy ground gu assistance.

Some opened the Life and Death Mysterious Gate, stimulated human potential, exploding with several times the power at critical moments, needing different attribute Eight Gates Gu to open the eight gates. Here, the eight gates are not the eight gates in Qimen Dunjia, but the eight pivotal points on the human body, namely, Qi-Blood firmness and emptiness, cold heat wind dampness eight gates. Each gate opened has a different cultivation method, and during battle, it unleashes different powers.

There were also those cultivating extreme speed, honing Qi Strength...

A plethora of bizarre things.

Many things were entirely at odds with the orthodox body refinement path.

However, Luo Chen found it very interesting, as he himself did not adhere to the orthodox body refinement path, but rather entered the beginner phase with demon-like methods, gradually walking the path of Desolate Beast Body Refining. Therefore, encountering similarly peculiar Southland body refinement methods made him quite intrigued.

”Pressing the physical body? Given the strength of my current physical body, I’m afraid there’s nothing powerful in the Southland that could make me feel pressured.”

”Opening the Life and Death Mysterious Gate, interesting, interesting. It somewhat resembles my earlier musings on the Withering and Flourishing Divine Prohibition, worth borrowing a bit.”

”Qi Strength, not interested! I still don’t know what that thing really is.”

”This cultivation of extreme speed is quite intriguing. Attempting to stimulate the foot acupuncture points with gu insects, allowing the body refiner to achieve ultra-high speed, thereby bridging the gap with Immortal Cultivators’ escape techniques. The level is somewhat low, but it has the advantage of the corresponding gu insects not being extinct and can be easily collected. Moreover, my own foundation is quite solid, even a slight enhancement is an improvement for me!”

...

While Master Ming Lei went to handle trivial matters, Luo Chen was engrossed in researching body refinement methods.

Time gradually passed; unknowingly, Luo Chen had been in Wind and Thunder Gorge for over a month.

On this day.

A figure stood on the vast plain in front of Wind and Thunder Gorge, like an ancient pine tree, unmoving.

Suddenly!

The Black Armored Cultivator lifted his leg to stride across a step.

The entire person moved.

Not bursting out, but the speed was extremely fast, leaving trails of afterimages in the void, dazzling the eyes.

Luo Chen, feeling the speed, was extremely satisfied.

”What an excellent Third-tier Divine Movement Gu, it actually enhances my current physical body.”

These days, after pondering the methods to increase speed, Luo Chen gained some insights.

After experimenting, he found that his normal moving speed indeed achieved considerable improvement.

Compared to exploding with the self-created Fire Escape Technique, it’s slightly slower.

But that Fire Escape Technique also imposes quite a load on Luo Chen’s Qi Power.

Now cultivating this ”Divine Speed”, it doesn’t have that much burden, the only consumption being the Third-tier Divine Movement Gu.

This gu insect is easy to purchase, whether at Wind and Thunder Gorge or in the outer world, they are available.

He can replenish some in abundance, when one is consumed, simply replace it with another.

”This trip to the South Border hasn’t been in vain!”

”The four moves of ’Wind, Moon, Thunder, Cloud Steps to Immortality’, after many years, three moves have been completely perfected, only the move of Cloud Shoes has made no progress. Now that I have obtained this Divine Speed Technique, I may be able to incorporate it.”
