Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen did not ask anyone for help during this process but relied entirely on himself.

The dense water vapor, even with the array barrier, occasionally spread out.

In the Luo Tian Grand Hall, streams of Ming Shui gushed out from the high-hanging spring and were then refined by Luo Chen into black little boats.

Luo Chen didn’t bother to name this batch of magic tools, simply using the name ”Crossing Ghost Ship” which he had previously obtained from the Luo Tian Sect.

After all, their functions were similar, and in terms of effect, the ones he refined were even superior to the Crossing Ghost Ship, saving more Qi power.

With these Crossing Ghost Ships, the cultivators of the Luo Tian Sect would be able to freely enter and exit the Nether Abyss in the future.

After Bai Meiling swept away the low-level ghost cultivators around, the Luo Tian cultivators would no longer worry about being disturbed by ghost cultivators.

Haoranzi remained in the Upper Nether Ruined City, establishing an external base for the Luo Tian Sect, so the sect would not be completely blind to the outer world.

As long as they managed well later, after hundreds of years digesting the legacy of the Mingyuan Sect, the sect was sure to flourish.

Luo Chen no longer had any concerns.

His gaze fell on the spring.

”I originally planned to use the water lotus seed I kept to refine a clone, sneak into the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, and retrieve the missing life soul. But the foundation of the water lotus seed is insufficient, and in the short term, the clone’s power cannot be improved to gain the sect’s attention. If I refine this spring into the clone, would it create a clone with talents comparable to a demon’s?”

Luo Chen mumbled to himself, his eyes shining brightly due to his sudden inspiration.

The plan to retrieve the life soul was not perfect, Luo Chen only had a vague idea.

According to the information from Youquan, Zhongzhou was divided into five parts, becoming five continents, with Heaven and Earth Peak disrupted by Qi Xia Emperor dominating one.

The Tianyuan Daoist Sect occupied four continents.

In the past, the top Great Wilderness Soul Hanging drove the Netherworld Sea all the way west, sinking the Western Continent in the process, and all living beings were swept into the Netherworld Sea, with none surviving.

Thus, now only the southeastern and northern three continents housed the cultivators of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

And the sect’s mountain gate, the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range, was on the Eastern Continent, so one could imagine that after the return of the sect’s Divine Transformation great power, he should also cultivate on the Eastern Continent.

What Luo Chen needed to do was to avoid the Eastern Continent, entering the sect’s divisions on the other two continents with a clone, and then cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage at an extremely fast speed.

By then, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect would surely follow the tradition to extract his life soul.

Taking this opportunity, he could reclaim the missing part through the connection of the soul and then escape from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

The entire process might not require a direct confrontation with the sect’s great power.

But if things didn’t go smoothly...

”Then I would have to forcefully reclaim my life soul through a confrontation!”

Luo Chen’s eyes squinted slightly, flashing with an extremely dangerous glint.

He knew exactly where his missing life soul was!

Back then, Mo Shouzhuo took his life soul when he entered the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, using a method called ”Illusionary Chess”.

And that Illusionary Chess was evidently a derivative means of the Spirit Treasure Lankao Chessboard.

Considering the Lankao Chessboard’s ability to guard the divine soul, capture the spirit mechanism, and suppress a continent with its various powers, it must also be a precious item for capturing souls.

According to intelligence from Cangwu Mountain, during the great battle when Zhongzhou collapsed, the spirit mechanism scattered everywhere, and the Lankao Chessboard also suffered backlash.

Under such circumstances, seizing the Lankao Chessboard back through warfare was also a means to reclaim his life soul.

But he was unwilling to do so until a critical moment.

Because once he did, it would be an open declaration of opposition against the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, and the sect’s great powers weren’t fools; they would either destroy the Lankao Chessboard or find his life soul and crush it directly, causing Luo Chen to potentially end up with nothing.

Therefore, it was best to proceed quietly with everything!

...

Half a month later.

At the entrance of the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land, shadows stood dense, the atmosphere solemn.

Luo Chen glanced over the crowd one by one.

The ever-steady Wang Yuan, the flickering-eyed Ling Fengzi, the rosy Yu Jiaolong, the respectful and admiring Li Yingzhang...

Luo Chen said nothing but summoned Sima Huiniang and the three women in front of everyone.

”I’m leaving, why don’t I see Heart-Linked coming?”

Sima Huiniang looked worried originally, but hearing Luo Chen’s inquiry, she quickly explained, ”Heart-Linked has already started closed-door cultivation to prepare for impacting the Foundation Establishment Realm. He also wants to improve his realm so he can help you sooner!”

Luo Chen felt somewhat dazed, his son was also about to reach Foundation Establishment?

He should succeed, considering his natural Spirit Root talent was not bad, along with mentorship and Luo Tian Sect’s open resource supply.

Even a pig should successfully establish a Foundation!

If he failed, Luo Chen wouldn’t care too much, just taking it as wasted effort on his part.

Luo Chen’s gaze fell on Gu Caiyi, tenderly rubbing her smooth hair.

”I know you always want to be strong, but in cultivation, it’s better to take it slow, don’t rush.”

At this moment, Gu Caiyi’s body emitted very obvious mana fluctuations, indicating she was at the Golden Core Eighth Layer.

How long had it been since she entered the Late Golden Core Stage?

Altogether less than thirty years, and she suddenly reached the Golden Core Eighth Layer, astonishing.

Gu Caiyi wanted to explain something, but her eyes were drawn to a box Luo Chen took out.

”This is a Nascent Soul Formation Pill I specially left for you, but I’ve set a seal on it, it will take at least a hundred years to unlock. During this time, you need to sort out your Qi power and adjust the state of the Essence, Qi, and Spirit trio.”

”Husband...” Gu Caiyi choked with emotion, realizing that Luo Chen had never ignored her; even Sima Huiniang didn’t have a Nascent Soul Formation Pill prepared just for her.

Luo Chen smiled and looked towards Cang Long Fairy.

Although she still felt worried, she forced a smile.

”Just feel assured and go, I’ll keep an eye on things at home for you.”

Saying this, Cang Long Fairy’s expression was calm and composed.

Sima Huiniang’s expression was somewhat peculiar, as if she thought of something, but what she said was, ”My son and I will wait for your return.”

Luo Chen waved goodbye and lightly exited the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

Behind him, Luo Tian disciples with various expressions.

Ahead of him was Bai Meiling, who had hurriedly returned riding a Xuan Turtle after receiving his summons.

”Master, are you leaving again?”

”Yes.” Luo Chen nodded and then extended his hand, ”Show me your accomplishments over these twenty years.”

Indeed, twenty years had passed since Luo Chen returned to the Luo Tian Sect in the blink of an eye.

During this time, he condensed his Primordial Spirit, refined the spring, comprehended the Water Origin, and achieved Divine Soul Nirvana, countless events filled up the twenty years.

If any time could be considered as rest and relaxation, perhaps those few entangled days with Cang Long Fairy would count.

And Bai Meiling had done just one thing in those twenty years.

The black Soul-Refining Flag landed in Luo Chen’s hand, and the moment he held it, an inexplicable heaviness arose.

”Master, Little White did not let you down, traversing most of the Nether Abyss, collecting a full million low-level ghost souls, please inspect!”

Luo Chen’s eyes brightened, his Divine Consciousness delved into the Soul-Refining Flag.

A thousand mournful and shrill cries came through.

Seemingly aware of a living soul’s entrance, countless fierce ghosts surged towards Luo Chen.

Yet, before they could approach, they were stunned in place by an inherent pressure.

In an instant, the ghosts fell silent!

Bai Meiling watched this scene, exclaiming, ”Master, as expected, you can suppress a million ghosts with a single thought, lately I’ve felt I can’t control the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.”

”Great job.” Luo Chen took out a wooden box and handed it to Bai Meiling.

Inside was precisely a soul stone, which he had brought from Soulbreak Cliff back then.

This item was also a great supplement for ghost cultivators!

After explaining to Bai Meiling how to refine and absorb it, Luo Chen focused on the Soul-Refining Flag in his hand.

”Ten Thousand Soul Banner?”

”A million ghost souls, already a foundation for an Evil Soul Banner, only lacking a fierce soul capable of devouring gods and ghosts.”

He took out his Soul Nurturing Banner, placing the dozens of Ghost Emperors within into the Soul-Refining Flag.

After briefly sensing it, Luo Chen shook his head.

Not enough!

Even with these dozens of Ghost Emperors, it was still insufficient to merge into a ghost god comparable to Divine Transformation.

As he pondered, Bai Meiling had drawn close to his side.

”Master, can I accompany you on this journey?”
