Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

However, before that, we must cooperate with the Luotian Sect to accomplish some tasks.

Consolidate Upper Nether City, which possesses a Fourth Order Spirit Vein, and establish a Nascent Soul force under the name of Nascent Soul True Master Hao Ranzi, to absorb disciples with Spirit Roots from the Outer World.

After careful examination, secretly transport them to the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

This temporarily resolves the issue of the Luotian Sect’s shortage of disciples.

In fact, after several decades, the number of Luotian Sect disciples is not small, with a population of over a thousand through reproduction and growth.

Moreover, the vast majority are elites.

Twenty Golden Cores, over a hundred Foundation Establishments, and hundreds at the Qi Refinement Stage.

Additionally, seven Nascent Soul True Masters are in charge!

Such strength is enough to rival the most powerful Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects in the history of the Eastern Wasteland at various stages.

Of course, Li Yingzhang is not only managing the sect but also devotes part of his energy to teaching his only entry-level disciple, Luo Lingxi.

Under his guidance, Luo Lingxi is redoing the Qi Refinement to lay the foundation.

In just three short years, he has cultivated to the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement.

This progress already surpasses the vast majority of people, showing that it has not let down Luo Chen’s initial trust.

But Li Yingzhang can also see the dissatisfaction revealed in Luo Lingxi’s eyes.

Therefore, he would occasionally instruct him in his spare time.

”Are you in a hurry?”

In the cave mansion, Li Yingzhang questioned the disciple.

Luo Lingxi, whose thoughts were seen through, was not embarrassed and replied earnestly, ”I am already forty-two years old, just eighteen years away from the most ideal age of sixty for Foundation Establishment, how can I not be anxious?”

Li Yingzhang countered, ”Do you know how many years it took the Supreme Elder to establish his foundation back then?”

”Father?” Luo Lingxi hesitated, ”Father was sixteen when he entered the path, established his foundation at thirty-two, so it took him sixteen years.”

Li Yingzhang stroked his beard and smiled, ”Yes, even though the Supreme Elder’s talent is not as good as yours, and the cultivation resources were even less than yours, he was able to establish his foundation in sixteen years. You have eighteen years, so why rush?”

”But...” Luo Lingxi wanted to say, that’s my father! But the bitterness in his heart kept him from speaking those words.

Li Yingzhang’s expression turned serious, ”Haste makes waste. To establish a foundation, having a solid foundation is most important. That is why the Supreme Elder entrusted you to me. When I was trying to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, I spent over nine years just fluctuating in Qi Refinement Stage Finalization, which shows the importance of a solid foundation.”

”And your father, though his progress was incredibly fast, his solid foundation was equally rare. At least, I have never seen anyone whose qi power could surpass his in the same realm.”

”If you simply want to establish a foundation quickly, to form a core, or even achieve the Nascent Soul Stage, it’s actually not difficult. After all, you are the only offspring of the Supreme Elder, with full support from the Luotian Sect. With abundant resource allocation and mass elixir supply, everything is at your fingertips.”

”Yet such achievement would ultimately be superficial, unable to withstand a single blow.”

”Is that what you want?”

This time, Luo Lingxi had no words to answer.

He wants to chase after his father, to surpass his father, but if it is merely trying to catch up in realm, it would be meaningless.

The achievements made by his father are considered incredible by anyone.

Being unparalleled in battle strength at the same level, with divine transformation in pill refinement technique, being proficient in the techniques of hundreds of schools, all based on that indomitable will.

Even if he rushes to establish a foundation, form a core, what then?

He would still be just an ordinary immortal cultivator among countless others.

After a while.

Luo Lingxi respectfully saluted Li Yingzhang.

”Lingxi thanks Master for the enlightening words. From now on, I will tread cautiously and take each realm of cultivation seriously.”

Li Yingzhang revealed a gratified smile.

This is likely what the Supreme Elder most wished to see!

Unlike ordinary cultivators, Luo Lingxi harbors a Demonic Mind Gu, and although it has been sealed by Luo Chen, it remains a latent threat.

Hence, Luo Lingxi needs to refine his temperament, diligently solidify his foundation, and not pursue methods for rapid success.

Otherwise, when he reaches a high realm, there might be thoughts of unsealing it and following the Path of Demon for advancement.

When it comes to tempering one’s temperament, there are only a handful in the entire Luotian Sect suitable for teaching Luo Lingxi.

Luo Chen, Wang Yuan, and myself, who once cultivated ”Nine Returnals of Origin,” enduringly approaching the Foundation Establishment Stage nine times before re-refining spirit power.

That’s why the Supreme Elder entrusted his son to my guidance.

”Endless cultivation will not do. Tomorrow, after you finish your morning lessons, accompany me to inspect the sect.”

”As you command, Master!”

Li Yingzhang nodded, signaling that Luo Lingxi could leave.

But at that moment, he looked shocked and rushed out of the Luo Tian Grand Hall.

Luo Lingxi was startled, but soon noticed the unusual commotion and quickly followed.

As soon as they were outside the hall, both looked up at the sky.

They saw a vast tornado extending from the void, reaching from heaven to earth, a truly spectacular sight.

Within the tornado, there was the surging of Ming Shui, the burning of Golden Flames, and a faint presence of an extreme destructive force, making the entire Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land seem precarious under the tornado.

Such an alarming scene was awe-inspiring.

Li Yingzhang looked in the direction the tornado descended and instinctively exclaimed, ”It’s where Elixir Mountain is!”

Luo Lingxi’s heart tightened, ”Father!”
