Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Jikong Flower?

Luo Chen was startled, then faintly understood something.

He felt that in this battle with Qing Shuang, her movements were not as elusive as last time. When she used the Void Escape Divine Technique, it became traceable.

This was partly due to his mastery of numerous Spacial Constraints and the assistance of his Red Eyes Golden Pupils, but the main reason was that Qing Shuang herself had a problem.

Unexpectedly, it was because of refining the Jikong Flower.

According to legend, this flower can allow a cultivator to open a second Purple Mansion, and even in the hands of a cultivator practicing spatial law, it can open up a peculiar inner space.

Qing Shuang should have done just that.

But the refining process was too long, causing flaws to appear in her otherwise harmonious battle system.

It even affected her Divine Power Killing Move!

Of course, he wouldn’t show any weakness in front of her.

”My move, Thousand Clouds Flowing Together, is at its strongest when driven by the Nine Heavens Qi. What you saw was merely driven by Mixed Demon Blood, with only a fraction of its original power.”

Qing Shuang sneered, ”Boasting!”

”Try it again if you get the chance.”

Luo Chen clapped his hands and retreated calmly.

The mixed poison in her body had been completely extracted by him.

In this way, both sides were free of any lingering ailments, allowing them to quickly recover and gain a certain degree of self-preservation ability.

So that they wouldn’t still need to join forces to kill something like the Silver Refining Roc, an early-stage Fourth Order demon cultivator.

For a while, there was no noise in the Earth Cave, only the faint sound of breathing as the two of them recuperated.

Quiet and peaceful.

As if they hadn’t just been eager to kill each other.

...

Several days later.

In the Earth Cave, two figures were preparing to leave.

”Returning this to you!”

Qing Shuang said softly, tossing an item to Luo Chen.

As if anticipating this, Luo Chen caught the item and it disappeared into his right arm.

His gaze fell on the giant silver roc’s corpse beside him.

”Can’t let it go to waste!”

With a thought, a wisp of flame, blue and white intertwined, spouted from his mouth, enveloping the roc’s hundred-zhang body.

In just a moment, the Silver Refining Roc’s corpse turned into a pile of ashes.

In exchange, the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire regained some vitality.

Seeing this, Qing Shuang’s lips moved slightly, but she said nothing.

Luo Chen dealt with it first, then immediately asked, ”This Silver Refining Roc was a subordinate of the Golden Winged Roc, who attacked Zhongzhou with your sister. Are they in a master-servant or cooperative relationship?”

Qing Shuang did not hide anything and calmly replied, ”Cooperative relationship.”

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, ”So, are the other three God Transformation Level Savage Beasts also in a cooperative relationship?”

”Not all of them, Ghost Immortal Tower was sent by the Sea Emperor Whale and Great Sage Beili. Sister Qinghe, having achieved the God Transformation Realm, owed my sister a debt of gratitude. She is repaying that favor. As for the Netherworld Earth Dragon, it was purely captured and its power forcibly enhanced using Secret Techniques, making it a slave.”

Luo Chen immediately understood.

Then he smiled and said, ”Since the Golden Winged Roc and your sister are in a cooperative relationship, not only did we kill its subordinate, but also refined its corpse. Will it have any consequences?”

”You’ve already refined it, so why ask?”

Qing Shuang pursed her lips, saying no more, and leapt out of the Earth Cave.

Luo Chen felt the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit in his Purple Mansion gradually recovering, and finally, the boulder in his heart was lifted.

Looking up, he immediately chased after her.

Upon emerging, the surrounding wild sandstorm instantly buffeted them. Luo Chen steadied himself and pursued in Qing Shuang’s direction.

In the sandstorm that covered the sky and earth, two figures proceeded at a leisurely pace, leaving behind a trail of footprints.

”This landscape, along with demon beasts like the Silver Refining Roc, suggests we have strayed into the West Desert?”

”Soulbreak Cliff, Soul Hanging Wilderness—rightly named as one of the top Great Desolates of the Mountain Sea Realm along with the Mirage Dragon of ancient times.”

”Is there a way to quickly return to the Eastern Wasteland?”

Faintly, there were brief exchanges, though they were quickly swallowed by the howling sandstorm.
