Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

On top of Elixir Mountain, a scene of bustling activity unfolded.

This mountain was once tainted with a strand of Qi Xia Emperor’s Nirvana Sacred Fire, hence it contains an exceptionally strong Fire Attribute Spirit Vein. For ordinary cultivators, it’s unsuitable for cultivation, but for a Pill Refiner, it is a natural blessed land.

Set up arrays, build the Pill Room.

Harness Earth Fire, and engage in mass Pill Refinement.

This is the main theme of Elixir Mountain today.

The streams of light that Luo Chen scattered the other day contained several directions for his research on the Ti Hu Pill.

He handed them over to Qu Lingjun and five others for them to conduct experiments based on his planned directions.

Choose medicinal materials, categorize and process them, experiment with ratios, control the fire...

Task after task is being systematically carried out with the concerted efforts of all Second Order Pill Refiners in Luo Tian Sect.

Luo Chen wasn’t idle either.

He left a Soul Splitting Puppet in the Dan Dust Hall to oversee everything, while he himself departed from Elixir Mountain, accompanied by Bai Meiling, arriving at a large lake within the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

Looking at the vast misty lake, Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

His thoughts stirred, and there was an immediate echo.

”Moo...”

Along with the low sound, the serene lake stirred up waves, and the massive form of Xuan Turtle slowly emerged.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere felt somewhat oppressive.

But under Luo Chen’s gaze, the Xuan Turtle eventually submitted.

It raised its head, reluctantly opened its mouth wide.

Surrounding streams converged, and its body emitted a strong red glow.

Gradually, an exquisite and transparent Blood Pearl formed within its mouth.

As this Blood Pearl coalesced, the aura of the Xuan Turtle kept weakening.

Seeing this scene, Bai Meiling instantly realized what was happening.

The Xuan Turtle was forcibly expelling a substantial amount of Blood Essence to form such a Blood Pearl.

In this manner, this Desolate Beast Xuan Turtle suffered a greatly diminished vital energy.

Bai Meiling couldn’t help but wonder; her master was not a villain, why would he treat the loyal and honest Xuan Turtle this way?

Luo Chen did not explain, merely gestured, and that pearl containing a large amount of Xuan Turtle Source Blood fell into his hand.

Then Luo Chen scattered a large handful of elixirs, which entered the Xuan Turtle’s mouth.

With these elixirs as replenishment, the weakening momentum of the Xuan Turtle was finally halted.

Luo Chen nodded, ”I remember your contribution. If I attain enlightenment someday, I will repay profusely. Now, go collect souls with Little White!”

The Xuan Turtle responded lowly, then carried Bai Meiling away from the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

Watching the departing backs of beast and ghost, Luo Chen pursed his lips, remaining silent.

The Blood Pearl in hand transmitted a warm touch.

Considering possible battles in the future, he deemed that he could never be overprepared.

In terms of personal defense, he certainly could not neglect it.

Back in the day, the meticulously crafted Xuan Chen Armor had gradually fallen behind in intensity with his realm improvement.

And during the expedition to South Border, it suffered significant damage.

It can be said that if he had the Xuan Chen Armor protecting him then, his physical body wouldn’t have been so badly injured in the fight with Qing Shuang.

Having returned to Luo Tian Sect, naturally, Luo Chen aimed to obtain various materials to repair the Xuan Chen Armor.

But merely repairing it wouldn’t suffice!

Back when forging the Xuan Chen Armor, the primary material was a portion of the Mysterious Rock Demonic Emperor’s remains, which might have been decent for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

But for Luo Chen now, it’s far too inadequate.

Thus, Luo Chen acquired the Desolate Beast Xuan Turtle’s Blood Essence to elevate the Xuan Chen Armor’s upper limit!

This upper limit, even if it can’t reach Spirit Treasure Rank, must be able to support his transformed Three-headed Demon Body for normal combat.

...

Inside a Side Hall of Elixir Mountain.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, casting Dao Law Methods toward a half-airborne piece of black, damaged armor.

Rare melted minerals attracted by these Dao Law Methods constantly merged into it.

With spirit light flickering, the armor slowly unfolded, gradually restored to its original state.

At this point, Luo Chen still did not stop, but incorporated the Xuan Turtle’s refined Original Blood Pearl into it.

Instantly, the hall was filled with brilliant light!

”Not enough!”

A flick of his hand, Luo Chen revealed five Lotus Seeds.

These were the Five Elements Lotus Seeds taken from the Top-grade Five Elements Lotus Stand back then!

That Five Elements Lotus Stand almost achieved Spirit Communication, stepping into the Fifth-Order Level. The Five Elements Lotus Seeds condensed from it are the utmost essence of the Five Elements.

Yet such precious items can’t be used in medicine, leaving Luo Chen with treasure but nowhere to use it.

But now, there’s a good use for it.

With a pinch of his fingers, the heaviest Earth Lotus Seed slowly flew toward the Xuan Chen Armor.

Thus, five minus one.

After seconds of hesitation, Luo Chen gritted his teeth and no longer hesitated, successively sending the remaining four flying towards the Xuan Chen Armor.

The Gold Lotus Seed, Wood Lotus Seed, and even the Fire Lotus Seed consecutively merged into the Xuan Chen Armor.

Only at the final Water Lotus Seed did Luo Chen halt his hand.

His gaze fell on the Primordial Chaos Tripod beneath the Xuan Chen Armor, a contemplative expression surfaced in his eyes.

”It should be enough. This Xuan Turtle leans towards Water Attribute; the refined Original Blood Pearl is likewise. Coupled with the four Lotus Seeds, it’s already capable of completing the Five Elements cycle, no need for this Water Lotus Seed.”

”I might need this item later for reclaiming the Life Soul, so it’s better to keep it a while longer!”

Murmuring to himself, Luo Chen carefully kept away the Water Lotus Seed.

Afterward, he spat True Fire, slowly refining the Xuan Chen Armor.

He intended to incorporate all four Lotus Seeds and the Xuan Turtle’s Original Blood Pearl into the Xuan Chen Armor, thereby significantly augmenting its protective prowess and concurrently elevating its upper limit once again.
