Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The black-clad Daoist smiled slightly.

”It’s fine. Since I’ve already captured it, I’m not afraid it will escape.”

Little White smiled and then drifted away gracefully.

Luo Chen wasn’t worried that anything would happen to Little White.

After refining a considerable number of soul stones, Little White is already at the Mid-Fourth Order realm.

Without a Great Cultivator taking action, relying on the characteristics of a ghost cultivator, few could threaten her.

On the Tian Nan Continent, there are only two great cultivators, both residing in the Tian Nan Dao Palace.

Going to the Zhou family is just a trip; as long as she’s careful, even Zhou Yunshen might not notice her.

What he was more worried about was his doppelganger, who started cultivation at just six years old, truly audacious.

Don’t they have elders nearby to teach them to cultivate step by step?

Even though he had informed Zhou Yunshen not to interfere too much with the doppelganger’s growth, such basic guidance should be given by parents or elders!

”Perhaps something unexpected happened.”

Luo Chen muttered, then resumed refining the Chi Xiao sword qi.

Before entering closed-door cultivation, he cast a cold glance at the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

...

Half a year later.

On a plaza in Bailu Marsh, over thirty teenagers stood in an orderly manner, listening to the teachings of an elderly man with snow-white hair.

”You all are now over six years old and must begin preparing for the Spirit Root detection and cultivation six years hence.”

”Next, I will teach you a Body Refining Technique to strengthen your physique.”

”Do not underestimate body refinement. If you are detected to possess a spirit root in the future and can cultivate, a strong physique will greatly aid you at the early stage, at least helping you endure the pain of spirit qi entering the body. Even if no spirit root is detected, you can tread the Path of Martial Arts, protect yourself in the mundane world, and that’s a skill in itself.”

The teenagers all shouted in unison in agreement.

The elderly man was very pleased with everyone’s reaction and then smoothly began performing a set of boxing techniques on a raised platform.

This boxing technique was not particularly powerful nor destructive, but it greatly benefited the body by exercising many parts of the human body.

The teenagers earnestly followed in their practice.

Once they had memorized it, the elder no longer concealed himself, seated aside, letting them practice on their own.

When they encountered difficulties, he would patiently explain without any airs.

The elder knew well his own position; he wasn’t a lofty cultivator, just an innate martial artist among the mundane, assigned this task due to the clan’s favor.

If done well, he could earn longevity-extending elixirs and establish many connections for his descendants.

After all, among the group of youth in the square, surely some would be found with spirit roots, eventually becoming those lofty immortal cultivators.

Zhou Fuqiu was among them.

Not only him, even his sister Zhou Qingyu was beside him, practicing the Strengthening Body Boxing Technique.

However, unlike Zhou Fuqiu, who picked up quickly, Zhou Qingyu practiced slowly and seemed to run out of stamina quickly, her face shining with sweat in no time.

”Mao Mao, if you’re tired, go rest.”

”Brother, I’m not tired.”

The little girl looked excited, seemingly very interested in cultivation.

However, being frail and frequently ill, she accidentally tripped and fell.

Zhou Fuqiu quickly helped her up, blowing on the red mark on her elbow.

A heartwarming moment, yet it drew laughter from nearby.

”Sickly child, you’d better go rest. Why join in the fun? Don’t expect to become an immortal cultivator yourself!”

Eyes turned toward them.

Zhou Qingyu’s big eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

Zhou Fuqiu raised his head, his cold eyes landing on the boy not far away, his voice cold as ice.

”Apologize!”
