Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

This is indeed a fact.

Wind and Thunder Gorge, because it accumulates a large amount of lightning and thunder throughout the year, provides a perfect natural environment for cultivators specializing in this path during battles.

But once he leaves, Master Ming Lei’s strength will be greatly diminished.

Luo Chen thought for a moment and suggested, ”While your strength can’t be quickly improved, your reputation can. If you can establish a force, over time, you’ll become a master of one domain, and others won’t overlook you.”

This was the path Luo Chen had once taken.

Although somewhat troublesome, it was indeed effective.

Master Ming Lei quite agreed, ”During this journey, I actually have the same plan. But forming a force requires a lot of things, like inheritance skills, core Gu Worms, and even methods to produce Spirit Stones.”

”The cultivation techniques are fine; I have a set of my own. The core Gu Worms are rather troublesome, especially those that assist disciples in cultivation, most of which are family secrets.”

”The reason I tolerated Lantern Master earlier was in the hope of purchasing some low-order Shining God Gu from the Shadow Light Sect. As for Mi Realm Mountain, because the Gate of Life and Death is closed now, it is rumored that the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance holds the Spirit Stone production method, and I plan to obtain it from them.”

Listening to these repeated words, Luo Chen felt a sense of familiarity.

It was as if when he established the Luo Tian Sect back then, it was the same.

Encountering suitable techniques, collecting them.

Finding suitable resources, even if far in the North Sea, bringing them back.

It was in such piecemeal efforts that he had accumulated the vast foundation of the Luo Tian Sect.

He no longer felt impatient as before, patiently listening to the other party’s ramblings, occasionally agreeing.

”What is the Shining God Gu?”

”It is one of the core Gu Worms of the Shadow Light Sect, once refined into the body, it can replicate all the internal situations during a cultivator’s training. After a cultivator finishes a session, they can review all the details of their previous cultivation through the Shining God Gu, correcting any mistakes. With such assistance from the Gu, lower order cultivators can lay a very solid foundation. Even for high-order cultivators like us, having high-order Shining God Gu as an aid can avoid many troubles.”

”Will the Shadow Light Sect sell them?”

”They certainly won’t sell the high-order ones, but the lower-order ones, as far as I know, Lantern Master has privately sold many to some major forces, specifically to maintain connections.”

”Did you succeed?”

”Lantern Master hasn’t relented yet, but because he didn’t help earlier, he feels guilty, so after grinding him for one or two more days, he probably will sell some lower-order ones to me!”

”Then I hope the Cave Lord succeeds! If in the future you gather Rogue Cultivators in Wind and Thunder Gorge to build a force, it would be a great thing.”

”Thank you for your kind words, Brother Qi!” Master Ming Lei smiled, and his gloomy mood improved considerably.

For Rogue Cultivators like them who have been wandering for so long, being able to establish a force and proclaim oneself a leader is indeed a great achievement.

If his own inheritance could be passed down for centuries to come, with people still extolling the name of the ancestor, that would be even better.

Luo Chen laughed and said, ”I think the Rogue Cultivators of Wind and Thunder Gorge won’t refuse you. By then, take in a few direct disciples... Cheng Bai is quite good!”

At the mention of Cheng Bai, Master Ming Lei’s face momentarily looked unnatural.

He actively changed the topic, looking around with a surprised expression.

”It seems Lantern Master didn’t treat us harshly, he arranged quite a good residence for you, too!”

Indeed, it was a good residence!

The spirit qi in this palace is rather rich, reaching the Fourth Order level.

In terms of guest standards, it is very high.

”I’m benefiting from your presence...”

Luo Chen nodded with a smile, but as he spoke, his voice stretched out, and ripples rose in his heart.

Master Ming Lei waved his hand, ”I have no such benefit; it’s all due to the aura you displayed earlier that made him look at us favorably. Forget it, it’s late, Brother Qi, rest early. We might have to stay here for two or three days more, please bear with it.”

Luo Chen showed no intention of retaining him, letting the other party leave.

The instant the palace gate closed, Luo Chen traced his finger over his eye.

Open!

Golden pupils flickered, blood threads spread over the whites.

Red Eyes Golden Pupils appeared again on Luo Chen’s face.

He stared fixedly at the hall, especially at the trajectory of spirit qi circulating on the cultivation room side.

Gradually, Luo Chen found a clue.

”This is just the most ordinary Fourth Order Spirit Vein, why is the spirit qi so rich?”

”Even some pure Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi are straying around.”

”Could it be, my Nascent Soul was exuberant previously due to the external environment?”

Upon thinking this, Luo Chen’s expression instantly darkened.

An overly exuberant Nascent Soul is not a good thing.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul is far from reaching the strength of the Primordial Spirit.

Just like the difference between a baby and an adult.

Being too active damages the soul!

And truly if it detaches from the Purple Mansion, roaming freely between heaven and earth, over time it will become lost, and the consequence is those four words – Heaven and Earth Assimilation!

These four words seem light and insubstantial.

But after witnessing the demise of True Master Shenyuan, Luo Chen tried to avoid it at all costs.

In that state of lost self-awareness, no matter how deep the mana, no matter how strong the physical body, it’s insignificant.

A gust of wind, a rainfall, and it all returns to nature.

Luo Chen definitely doesn’t want to walk that path.

”Did Lantern Master harm me?”

”Or was he even unaware?”

Amidst uncertainty, Luo Chen returned to the cultivation room once more.

Adjusting his mindset first, then Luo Chen began his actions.

With a flick of his sleeve, several array flags dropped into the corners of the cultivation room.

From within the Sea of Consciousness, three soul splits emerged, transforming into three eerie lights that encircled him.

With a flick of his hand, a mottled stone mirror floated above.

This was the Chen Yuan Immortal Mirror painstakingly refined by Luo Chen!

That said, after this treasure was refined, Luo Chen himself hadn’t used it much; it was mostly used on Cang Long.

But regarding the wondrous uses of this mirror, he was already familiar.

No need for instructions, the three soul splits with a shared heart immediately acted.

Each emitted eerie light, which merged into the treasure mirror without spreading, hovering above his head.

At this moment, Luo Chen was finally prepared.

He took a deep breath and once again started operating the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra.”

Breathing in and out, Divine Consciousness circulated, and a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Qi flooded into his body.

Flowed through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, circled around acupoints and Spirit Caves, gradually refined into Qi Power.

Finally entered the Purple Mansion, integrated into the Nascent Soul small figure within.

Time ticked away.

One day, two days, three days...

Master Ming Lei’s delay at the Shadow Light Sect lasted longer than earlier anticipated.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen’s staying inside, though beyond reason, was actually within some people’s expectations.

Under the night, lamp shadows flickered, human figures shifted.

One by one, figures gradually gathered outside the palace where Luo Chen resided.

Luo Chen paid them no heed.

He only focused on his world, and his power grew at an astonishing rate!

Although still not matching the efficiency of cultivation in the Fourth-Tier Top-Grade Cave Mansion of Cangwu Mountain, it far surpassed ordinary Spirit Veins.

But those eyes appeared rather confused and chaotic.

The power fluctuations on his body uncontrollably spread outward.

If not for the array flags prepared in advance to conceal, this abyss-like mana fluctuation would have spread out, and the entire Shadow Light Sect would have been alarmed.

Yet even so, an oppressive mighty aura brought immense pressure under the night.

As if within the palace, a primordial beast was lurking!

Suddenly!

The suspended mottled stone mirror cast down vast light.

”Awaken!”

”Awaken!”

”Still not awakening!”

The three soul splits shouted simultaneously, soul sound resonating, shaking the Nascent Soul.

Suddenly, the confusion in Luo Chen’s eyes vanished, and he awoke from the chaos.

He instinctively pressed his lower abdomen, his face still showing fearful expression.

”Something’s wrong!”

”There’s something unusual about this realm!”

”The concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is too high, almost resembling the Primordial Energy Ocean.”

”While cultivation efficiency is extremely high here, even a slight lapse could lead to being dormant within, and gradually assimilated by heaven and earth.”

”How could this be?”
