Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Whoosh!

The Blood Sword soared, did a twirl, and finally vanished into Luo Chen’s right arm.

The man in black rose with dignity, hands behind his back, and walked away.

”Take me to see those nine children!”

Zhou Yunshen was puzzled and couldn’t fathom Luo Chen’s intentions, but having received benefits and promises of future rewards from Luo Chen, he naturally wouldn’t object to such a minor request.

The two proceeded one after another from the depths of the Bailu Marsh’s Evil Swamp towards the Zhou Family’s gathering grounds.

...

”It’s not nine, it’s ten.”

In a quiet room, a gentle lady was fast asleep.

A young man and an aged elder stood by the bed, gazing at the final pregnant woman and whispering to each other.

Zhou Yunshen instinctively avoided Luo Chen’s eyes that glowed with golden light, surprised, ”Could it be that Jingshu is carrying twins?”

Luo Chen nodded slightly, ”Not only twins, but dragon-phoenix twins.”

Zhou Yunshen stroked his beard, ”The old man really didn’t notice. But judging from the earlier water lotus seed test, Jingshu’s children only have a middle to upper affinity with Water Spirit Qi, not as high as Xiao Qi’s family’s.”

However, Luo Chen shook his head with a peculiar smile.

”No, it’s him!”

Zhou Yunshen was puzzled.

Luo Chen’s lips curled slightly, ”One boy and one girl in the womb, one Yin and one Yang, perfectly complementing each other. I have a technique, combined with a medicinal concoction, that can balance strengths and weaknesses, transferring one child’s innate energy to the other. Then, the enhanced child will be born with an unimaginably superior foundation.”

”Is there such a Secret Technique in the world?” Zhou Yunshen was astounded.

Luo Chen nodded and said, ”This technique is called the Life Nourishing Technique, and the required concoction isn’t complicated.”

Zhou Yunshen clicked his tongue in wonder, ”Such a Secret Technique is unheard of; worthy of the Alchemy Sect indeed!”

Luo Chen smiled; the technique wasn’t his own creation but came from the seventy-two volumes of Alchemy Scriptures recorded by Refining Heaven Demon Monarch.

A method of the Demon Race!

The Demon Race’s reproductive abilities are far inferior to the Human Clan’s, and often when they have multiple offspring, the progeny’s strength varies distinctly.

Following a policy of nurturing elites, many weaker offspring are left to fend for themselves, receiving little cultivation.

In light of this, some chose not to waste resources, gathering the innate Qi and even root attributes of the weaker ones within the womb, concentrating them on one individual.

This way, it’s quite possible to produce a genius.

Zhou Yunshen curiously asked another question, ”Then what of the child whose innate Qi is drawn away?”

Luo Chen coldly replied, ”They become useless or ordinary, unable to cultivate throughout their life.”

The elder paused, subconsciously gripping his gray beard.

Luo Chen’s intention wasn’t only to use one of the Zhou Family’s children but to sacrifice another child’s future!

”What, are you feeling soft-hearted?” Luo Chen turned, looking at the elder.

Zhou Yunshen opened his mouth, eyes filled with distress.

Recently, he had forsaken his own cultivation, focusing instead on mentoring younger generations. With each encounter, the blurred familial bond grew stronger.

Even if Lin Jingshu was a bride sent from the Qingtong Lin Family, what she carried in her womb was still the bloodline of the Zhou Family!

Near his ears, Luo Chen’s increasingly indifferent voice sounded.

”Old friend, I have gifted you elixirs, bestowed cultivation insights, and at great cost, helped you prolong your life; you must have known what you would have to pay.”

”However...”

”Enough, I won’t let her serve my avatar for free. I’ll provide another path for her, albeit a very challenging one, but a path nonetheless.”

Delighted, Zhou Yunshen raised his head.

Luo Chen hadn’t promised anything, but since he had spoken, Zhou Yunshen was willing to believe him.

”Next, old friend, please step outside for a moment.”

Zhou Yunshen nodded, pursing his lips as he exited the room, leaving Luo Chen alone to quietly observe the gentle lady.

He lifted the lady’s garment, revealing her fair, round belly.

Slowly raising his right hand, he bit his fingertip, squeezing out a drop of Blood Essence.

The Blood Essence dripped onto the round belly, soaking in gradually.

With his fingers sword-like, Luo Chen made a gesture in the air, tracing mysterious and intricate patterns.

The patterns also gradually soaked into the woman’s belly.

After finishing, Luo Chen spat out the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Gazing at the Primordial Chaos Tripod, Luo Chen hesitated briefly but eventually steadied himself.

To cultivate a Nascent Soul True Master within a hundred years from scratch isn’t simply a matter of accumulating resources.

A vital surge of innate Qi isn’t enough.

A Water Type Heavenly Spirit Root remains insufficient.

Even with the support of the Top Grade water lotus seed, it’s still too slow.

Only an Innate Spirit Body!

Previously, Luo Chen couldn’t create an Innate Spirit Body, but now he had some confidence.

The key lies in the object within the tripod.

”Come forth!”

Murmuring, a streaming spring eye emerged leisurely from the small gray cauldron.

Ming Water Spring Eye!

Containing the Water Origin, it’s a natural creation; dispersing it into the fetus can foster an Innate Water Spirit Body through continuous nourishment.

As for whether the fetus can withstand it?

Under the conditions of Luo Chen having refined the Ming Water Spring Eye and grasped the Law’s True Intent of the Water Origin, it wasn’t difficult.

Luo Chen pointed a finger, and the floating Ming Water Spring Eye shattered instantly.

A gentle rain began to fall within the silent room.

Outside, despite the clear skies, no wind, clouds, thunder, or lightning, a downpour suddenly started.

The entire Bailu Marsh was enveloped in a mist of hanging raindrop curtains.

Zhou Yunshen stared blankly, and amidst the blur, his Nascent Soul felt restless.

It was unknown how much time had passed, and a faint voice of exhaustion sounded beside his ear.

”After the child is born, remember to give him the water lotus seed.”

Zhou Yunshen awoke startled, with a feeling of loss on his face as if he had missed something.

Under the eaves where rain cascaded, he watched the man’s weary face, clueless about what had been done.

He couldn’t help but remind, ”You promised to provide another path for the other child.”

”I won’t forget; before leaving, I’ll leave something within the White Crane Evil Swamp.”

After these words, Luo Chen stepped into the curtain of rain, and several flashes of shadow disappeared completely.

Half a year later.

A loud cry echoed through the house.

On that day, torrential rain befell the vast skies over Bailu Marsh once more.

This rain came without reason and left without a trace, as if it dissipated suddenly after the infant’s cries faded away.

The first-time parents, Zhou Baihan and Lin Jingshu, remained oblivious to this abnormal phenomenon, immersed in the joy of having a son and a daughter.

Yet, after the initial excitement, curiosity and regret surfaced.

”The brother is so robust, but why is the sister so frail, like light feathers when held?”

”Husband, daughters being frail is normal; the brother can protect her well in the future.”

”Haha, indeed, you must protect your sister well in the future!”

With laughter and cheerful voices, the Zhou Family gained another pair of children.

Three days later, the Ancestor of the Zhou Family felt the clan’s hard work over the past two years, generously rewarding them, and specially bestowed a water lotus seed to Zhou Baihan’s family.

He personally named the dragon-phoenix twins.

The girl was named Zhou Qingyu.

The boy was named Zhou

...

”Master, are we leaving?”

”It’s time to leave; we’ve stayed here too long.”

”Where should we go?”

”Before we depart, let’s take a journey around the Tian Nan Continent!”

Within the White Crane Evil Swamp, a dialogue between a man and a woman echoed.

Luo Chen gazed at the scenery within the Shuilian Cave, gradually retrieving items from his storage ring.

Elixirs, ores, cultivation insights, and some small Technique tips.

That’s all; nothing else.

Little White roughly guessed the purpose of Luo Chen leaving these items behind, but couldn’t help being curious, ”Is it really that simple?”

Luo Chen shook his head, ”It’s enough; intervening too much would reveal traces of my involvement. I trust that the Divine Soul split from my Nirvana Primordial Spirit, even lacking my memory and consciousness, will not live an ordinary life.”

”But what about the girl?”

”She’s taken care of too, don’t worry.”

Luo Chen sighed, rising up, as Little White followed behind step by step, leaving Shuilian Cave.
