Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The Spirit Testing Ceremony concluded perfectly.

The shock it brought became the topic of conversation among the Zhou Family, Lin Family, Yin Family, as well as numerous cultivators within a radius of thousands of miles.

It’s even imaginable that the news of a peerless genius possessing an Innate Daoist Body with a Heavenly Spirit Root will spread across the entire Tian Nan Continent!

Why is this the case?

The reason is actually very simple!

In this world, Heavenly Spirit Root holders are rare, but given the large population base, they will eventually appear, at most being called once-in-a-century geniuses, and even their potential is capped.

Those with special physiques are even rarer, but still, some occasionally appear.

However!

There are very few who possess both a Heavenly Spirit Root and a special physique simultaneously.

Moreover, unlike many geniuses with special physiques that do not perfectly match their spirit root, Zhou Fuqiu’s spirit root and physique are the most compatible, having the same origin attribute.

The combination of the two results in an unimaginable increase in cultivation efficiency and combat strength!

The previous person with a similar ”configuration” has already gained fame throughout Zhongzhou and was once valued like treasure by the Five Elders of Tianyuan.

That person was Shi Ju!

He hailed from the Shi Family, one of the Twelve Great Houses, possessing a Fire Element Heavenly Spirit Root and an Innate Nine Yang Dao Body.

He ascended to the Nascent Soul Stage at merely two hundred years old.

Moreover, with the nurturing of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, he developed a Thunder Dao Avatar.

Known as invincible at the same order, with formidable strength!

This was evident when Shi Ju participated in the Eastern Wasteland War, frequently challenging the Great Demon Emperor across ranks.

The only blemish on Shi Ju’s record might be his defeat to Huang Independent Cultivator Luo Chen during the Cave Heaven Competition five hundred years ago, where even his Thunder Dao Avatar was once broken by Huang Independent Cultivator.

Yet, even so, Shi Ju, who comprehended the Fire Origin Law True Meaning, remains a pivotal figure in the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

And now, Zhou Fuqiu has shown similar potential.

His name will undoubtedly spread across the Tian Nan Continent, and even Zhongzhou!

The premise is, unless he meets an untimely death!

”Dean, are you really not taking Zhou Fuqiu with you?”

Aboard a luxurious Flying Boat, a cultivator from Yuheng Institute looked at Mo Wanting with concern.

Mo Wanting shook her head, ”He’s adamant about staying, and there’s nothing I can do, after all, this is the Zhou Family.”

”But, what if someone harbors malicious intentions and tries to harm him before he matures?”

To this, Mo Wanting merely smiled.

”With the Ancestor of the Zhou Family protecting him, there won’t be any issues.”

”Is the Ancestor of the Zhou Family reliable? Rumor has it his time is running out, and his realm is only at the Middle Stage Nascent Soul...”

Faced with her subordinate’s skepticism, Mo Wanting did not explain, recalling the terrifying pressure felt when she personally met the Ancestor of the Zhou Family. It was a sensation that none of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Mo Family could give her, but only the three Late Stage Nascent Soul Elders could at Mo Family’s peak.

In other words, Zhou Yunshen, the Ancestor of the Zhou Family, unbeknownst to many, has already advanced to the Late Stage Nascent Soul.

In his limited remaining time, he will undoubtedly protect Zhou Fuqiu with his life.

With such a Great Cultivator as a guardian, Zhou Fuqiu would be even safer than being inside the Tian Nan Dao Palace!

On the deck of the Flying Boat, more than a dozen youths stood in groups of three.

Among them were Zhou Yuwei, Zhou Yu Hao, and Zhou Ping’an from the Zhou Family.

On this voyage, they will join the most prestigious Dao Palace of the Tian Nan Continent, becoming the envy of all as paragons of talent.

However, Mo Wanting, initially rather enthusiastic toward them, now scarcely pays them attention and speaks only of the Zhou Fuqiu who didn’t accompany them.

This left many feeling indignant within.

Mo Wanting feigned ignorance, and after her subordinates conducted checks, she waved her hand grandly.

”Return to the Dao Palace!”

The magnificent Flying Boat circled twice in the air before disappearing into the depths of the horizon.

On the ground.

A group of Zhou Family cultivators looked up towards the sky until the vessel was out of sight, then they reluctantly withdrew their gaze.

Family Head Zhou Junxiao breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to the twenty youths at the forefront of the crowd, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Out of a hundred tested, twenty-three were found to possess Spirit Roots, including some with Dual Spirit Roots, indicating excellent talent; this time, the Zhou Family has achieved great success.

However, the subsequent cultivation must not be neglected.

”From now on, you shall go to the Chuan Gong Hall every morning to learn the basic knowledge of cultivation.”

”After understanding the cultivation theories for a month, you can officially begin cultivation and enter the Scripture Pavilion to select three basic techniques.”

”Remember, don’t slack off!”

”I know some of you have received some guidance at home, but that’s merely your parents’ personal understanding. The teachings at Chuan Gong Hall are ancestral and more comprehensive, more accurate, and crucially beneficial for promotion to higher realms in the future.”

Zhou Fuqiu stood at the forefront of the crowd, quietly listening to these words.

He understood that the family head’s arrangements had more to them than met the eye.

Besides the stated reasons, there is also the consideration for the mortal children that came from Coral Town. After all, these mortal descendants couldn’t absorb related theories from childhood, so this month serves as a buffer period for them.

Zhou Fuqiu wasn’t concerned with these matters; he focused only on one thing.

”Family Head!”

Zhou Junxiao’s gaze fell upon him, and he said with a kindly expression, ”Fuqiu, is there something you wish to ask?”

Zhou Fuqiu asked a very simple question: ”Where will those who did not have their Spirit Roots detected go?”

Zhou Junxiao chuckled, ”They will be sent to Coral Town, to flourish and thrive, providing the clan with basic supplies and future descendants.”
