Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Ti Hu Pill!

A Fourth Order Pill developed by Qi Refiners in ancient times, its effects are miraculous, enabling Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators to perceive the heavenly mysteries and understand the true intent of laws ahead of time.

It is renowned as a pseudo Fifth-Order Divine Pill!

For Luo Chen, who is now a Grandmaster of Alchemy Dao, this kind of Fourth Order Pill is actually not very difficult.

The reason it hasn’t been concocted all these years is not due to intentional delay, but because the real issue with this pill is the high degree of incompleteness of its formula.

Even with Deng Taiyue’s painstaking collection of various incomplete pill formulas, the completion level is only sixty to seventy percent at best.

In such a state, hastily refining it would lead to a one hundred percent chance of failure!

However, things took a turn when Luo Chen joined the Dark Abyss Sect back then.

As the Eastern Wasteland’s once sole Divine Transformation Holy Land, they could not remain indifferent to the illustrious pseudo Fifth-Order Divine Pill from ancient times.

Alchemy Saint Chu Yan and Mr. Xuan Yan both painstakingly researched the Ti Hu Pill by collecting incomplete pill formulas.

Although they ultimately did not succeed in refining it, they managed to deduce the pill formula to about seventy to eighty percent completeness.

And this research result eventually fell into Luo Chen’s hands!

That was during the trial at the Alchemy Saint Hall when Mr. Xuan Yan handed it over to Luo Chen before his passing.

Now with Deng Taiyue approaching him, he just happened to conveniently deal with this matter.

However, before that, Luo Chen still had one thing he needed to carefully convey to Deng Taiyue.

”Brother Deng, I am now very confident in being able to refine the Ti Hu Pill.”

Deng Taiyue’s face brightened upon hearing this.

”But!”

At the word ”but,” Deng Taiyue’s expression paused, ”Brother Luo, feel free to speak your mind. As long as it’s something I can do, I will surely spare no effort!”

Luo Chen said solemnly, ”I will have a great enemy in the future, a matter closely tied to my Dao of God Transformation and the continuation of Luotian. Therefore, before that, I need to use every moment to cultivate and prepare for battle. Refining this pill for you now will inevitably consume quite a lot of time, and even a slight shortcoming could lead to future failure. So, can you understand my current difficulty?”

Deng Taiyue was taken aback; he had personally witnessed Luo Chen’s capabilities.

His strength was unparalleled under the heavens!

With such strength, who could be the enemy that Luo Chen refers to as a ”great adversary”?

He tentatively asked, ”Demon Emperor Qing Shuang?”

Luo Chen shook his head, ”People say Qing Shuang and I are like water and fire, but it’s just a temporary misunderstanding.”

Deng Taiyue asked again, ”Eastern Wasteland Demon Clan?”

Luo Chen waved his hand and said, ”The Demon Clan is unpredictable, but I already have a way to resolve this; I’m just waiting for the right time.”

”Then this...” Deng Taiyue was perplexed. These were the only enemies he could think of.

Luo Chen did not hold back any longer and personally revealed the potential future adversary.

”Tianyuan Daoist Sect!”

Deng Taiyue was dumbfounded.

He had not even processed it fully and instinctively repeated, ”Tianyuan Daoist Sect?”

”Yes!”

Luo Chen turned around, pacing slowly atop a crimson-red Elixir Mountain.

The moonlight drawn by the array formations shone upon him, creating an unreal illusion, as if in a dream.

”Regardless of personal grievances, a conflict between the Tianyuan Daoist Sect and me is inevitable. At that time, a great battle is unavoidable. Therefore, I not only need to enhance my power but must also gather like-minded allies. So, when the time comes, will you help me?”

Deng Taiyue was confused, ”But that’s the ruler of the Mountain Sea Realm, Tianyuan Daoist Sect!”

Luo Chen recalled the information provided by Youquan and slowly said, ”Tianyuan Daoist Sect was once a ruler, but now, with Zhongzhou’s collapse, it has become fragmented. The remaining power isn’t as terrifying as you imagined.”

Deng Taiyue swallowed, his eyes filled with apprehension, ”What about the Divine Transformation Great Power?”

Luo Chen countered, ”What do you think of my strength?”

”Under Divine Transformation, none are your match!” Deng Taiyue responded instinctively, then in amazement looked at Luo Chen’s back, ”You’re going to take on the Divine Transformation Great Power personally? But...”

Luo Chen chuckled, sighing, ”As of now, I am not yet a match for Great Power. However, give me a hundred or two hundred years, and there’ll be a one or two percent chance. On the Path of Longevity, even that one or two percent chance is worth fighting for.”

Deng Taiyue’s lips moved, but he could not speak.

He could not fathom how, with the power of Nascent Soul, one could contend against the Great Divine Power of a Divine Transformation Cultivator.

Luo Chen turned around and smiled calmly, ”Of course, if things go smoothly, perhaps I won’t have to face the Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s only remaining Divine Transformation Great Power. I’m just preparing for the worst. Should that day truly arrive, could Brother Deng stand by my side?”

Deng Taiyue hesitated.

At this moment, it was obvious that Luo Chen was ”asking for a favor,” using the still unrefined Ti Hu Pill to ask for a commitment to lend a hand.

Moreover, the opponent was such a colossal entity.

Any Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would unhesitatingly refuse.

Yet Deng Taiyue truly hesitated.

In the face of the Ti Hu Pill, within reach after centuries of arduous cultivation, and the temptation to comprehend the true intent of laws, he fell into a hesitation never before experienced in his life.

Luo Chen did not rush him, silently waiting for an answer.

This was the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land, and coming or going depended entirely on his decision.

If Deng Taiyue didn’t agree, Luo Chen perhaps wouldn’t kill him, but neither would he let him leave before things were resolved.

Although asking for a favor might seem a bit underhanded, compared to his future Dao of God Transformation, Luo Chen absolutely needed to bolster every bit of power on his side.
