Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The quiet of Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land for over a decade was met with a touch of liveliness today.

But soon, this liveliness returned to tranquillity.

Three figures broke away from the crowd and swiftly flew towards the southeast direction.

”She’s stayed at the Small Stone Square all these years, never stepping outside,” Gu Caiyi softly said against the gentle breeze.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen nodded, but his expression was somewhat complex.

Small Stone Square.

The various peaks and cave mansions within the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land originally had no names; they were mostly named by the past experiences of Luo Tian Sect cultivators who moved in.

Thus, the names of many places impart a sense of familiarity.

That Hui Niang named her residence Small Stone Square was undoubtedly a commemoration of Baili Qingchuan’s cave mansion.

What was there to commemorate?

Was it the wait of a hundred years, or the painful memories of the Qi power burning the body, or perhaps the resentment against herself?

Beside him, Elder Canglong spoke, ”A year after you left, when I returned to the Blessed Land, she had her disciple Yao Mingyue seek me out, pleading for me to use the Ice Extreme Seal to seal Luo Lingxi.”

Luo Chen was taken aback but quickly realized something, his brows furrowing instantly.

Back then, to unlock Canglong’s seal, he also studied the Ice Castle’s inheritance skill, the Ten Directions Freeze Extreme Dao.

Naturally, he had dabbled in the sealing skill within—the Ice Extreme Seal.

This is a high-order sealing skill that can seal a cultivator’s state at that time.

Its advantage is preserving the state of the one being sealed before the seal, but the drawback is that the cultivator cannot use this seal to heal their injuries, and during the sealing process, endless extreme cold power is required from the outer world.

And there was only one reason that made Luo Chen frown.

”Lingxi’s realm is so low, how could he endure the Ice Extreme Seal?”

With admiration in his tone, Elder Canglong said, ”I advised Sima Daoist the same back then, but she was very persistent, saying directly that your absence was unpredictable in duration, and if you returned late or didn’t find the Fourth-Tier Demon Heart Gu, then Luo Lingxi would miss the most suitable age for cultivation. Only by using the Ice Extreme Seal can we retain some margin. As for how weak Luo Lingxi would endure the cold of the Ice Extreme Seal...”

At this, Elder Canglong glanced at Luo Chen and said in a low voice, ”Sima Huiniang chose to use her own Qi-blood to protect Luo Lingxi from the invasion of cold. A mother’s love for her child knows no bounds.”

Luo Chen pursed his lips and did not inquire further.

The three moved swiftly, and under Gu Caiyi’s guidance, quickly reached the Small Stone Square.

Though sharing the name, the scenery was vastly different.

Luo Chen, uninterested in taking a closer look, with a slight wave of his hand dissolved the protective array and strode inside.

At the moment of entering the cave mansion, the eyes met, and Luo Chen’s cold demeanor softened involuntarily.

”Why go to such extremes.”

In the past, under Luo Chen’s treatment, Sima Huiniang was cured promptly, even her lost lifespan was replenished by longevity pills. After careful nourishment, she not only could continue cultivation, but her appearance also rejuvenated.

But at this moment, Sima Huiniang’s appearance seemed withered by much.

The originally black and beautiful long hair was tainted with touches of gray.

For ten years, using her Qi-blood to protect Luo Lingxi was nearly debilitating for her.

Sima Huiniang looked at Luo Chen, and even if there was more resentment within her heart, it vanished like smoke at this moment, murmuring, ”Husband, you’re back.”

Luo Chen sighed, stepping forward to embrace her in his arms.

Behind them, Gu Caiyi watched this scene unfold and felt no jealousy, even from someone usually prone to it.

Hui Niang placed her hopes on her son Luo Lingxi, whereas she had made up her mind to cultivate well and in the future break through to the Nascent Soul Realm to be with Luo Chen for a long time.

If love can last forever, does it matter if it’s in the dawn and dusk?

For Immortal Cultivators, it is even more so.

What harm is there in letting her husband share some affection at this moment?

Gu Caiyi turned around, nodded to Elder Canglong, ”Afterwards, we’ll be troubling you with the task.”

Elder Canglong smiled faintly and walked towards another room filled with chilling coldness.

Sima Huiniang, seeing this scene, suddenly awakened and hastily asked, ”Husband, have you already retrieved the Demon Heart Gu?”

Luo Chen released her, nodding solemnly and saying, ”Indeed, it has been retrieved, and today we shall release our son from confinement.”

In an instant, Sima Huiniang was overjoyed.

Elder Canglong opened the stone gate, and a wave of cold air surged out.

Looking at the young man frozen within the blood-colored ice jade, his brows couldn’t help but twitch.

”Blood Penetrating Mysterious Ice, Sima Daoist truly paid a great price!”

Sima Huiniang cared little about these things, her pale face bore a few traces of hope, ”Please, Elder Canglong, break the seal for my son!”

Elder Canglong nodded and slowly began to form the Dao Law Method.

The Qi power circulated, gradually entering the blood-colored ice jade.

Gradually, the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice began to melt, transforming into a small trickle that flew towards Elder Canglong’s fingertips.

After about one incense stick of time, Elder Canglong twirled his slender fingers, holding a Blood Pearl as he withdrew from the room.

”The rest is up to you.”

”Thank you!”

Luo Chen composed, rose, and entered the room.

The youthful Luo Lingxi’s eyelashes fluttered as he was about to awaken, and Luo Chen placed a finger on his forehead.

”Sleep a little longer; when you wake, you can begin the cultivation you’ve dreamed of.”

As Luo Chen spoke, he retrieved a pulsating heart from the storage ring.

The Demon Heart Gu is right within this Demon Heart!

Dong!

The door slammed shut, blocking the view from outside.

Sima Huiniang’s body trembled slightly, filled with worry, while Gu Caiyi consoled her by her side.

”Don’t worry, with your husband’s intervention, Lingxi will surely be safe. Instead of worrying, it’s better to think about how to teach him cultivation once he’s well, in the future not to tarnish his father’s name.”
