Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Li Canghai’s face revealed a curious expression: ”Oh?”

Luo Chen confidently said, ”One method pursues extremity, using auxiliary materials to stimulate the main Soul Essence material, allowing the Divine Soul of cultivators taking the Yun Shen Pill to grow stronger. Another method pursues gradual progress, exciting the main material effects little by little, nurturing the cultivator’s Divine Soul gently. This fits well with the Yun Shen Pill’s inherent concept.”

At this moment, Li Canghai was truly a bit shocked.

In such a short time, merely taking one or two glances at the fragmented recipe could conceive ways to complete it.

And not just one way, but two?

Could this be what they call an Alchemy Concoction Grandmaster?

But he had known several Alchemy Concoction Grandmasters from the North Sea before. They could only refine a few kinds of Fourth Order Pills, and had never demonstrated such ability!

What he did not know was that Luo Chen was not an ordinary Alchemy Concoction Grandmaster but a Grandmaster of Alchemy Dao, who had absorbed the strengths of many and formed a complete style of Pill Refinement.

Only a step away from reaching the level of a Saint Dan Dao!

Li Canghai still had some doubts in his heart, so he bluntly said, ”If you are not in a hurry, young friend, why not write down both methods to complete the pill recipe?”

”As you wish, with no hesitation!”

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, took out two extra sheets of rice paper, and casually spread ink. In just a short time, the methods to complete the recipe for the Yun Shen Pill were displayed on the paper.

”Please have a look, senior!”

Li Canghai connected his black parchment and looked towards the sheets of rice paper.

He had also explored the Dao of Alchemy. By the standards of ordinary cultivators, he would at least be master Dan Dao level, so he had a basic understanding of the Dao of Alchemy.

At this moment, in his view, no matter which completion method was used, it perfectly bridged the original fragmented recipe.

”Time is tight; I merely listed the subsequent auxiliary materials simply. However, the relevant proportions and refining methods have not yet been marked. But these are not issues; with more time and a few experimental refinements, a perfect refining standard can certainly be found. Is senior satisfied?”

Li Canghai lifted his head, looking at the young man’s extraordinarily confident expression, akin to his own when discussing array techniques.

He put down the rice paper, heartily sighing, ”Alchemy Sect Luo Chen, truly deserving of the name!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, no longer modest.

This praise, he truly deserved!

Li Canghai put away the pill recipes, then contemplated before saying, ”Since you helped me complete the pill recipe, I shall return the favor with an opportunity!”

”Uh?”

Luo Chen hesitated, as he hadn’t anticipated any reward.

Li Canghai smiled slightly, ”The swordsmanship you displayed earlier should be a one-time consumption technique, right?”

Luo Chen’s expression stirred, ”Senior has sharp eyes, indeed that’s correct. That sword technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring the refining of Nine Heavens Celestial Qi with one’s own Qi Power, achieving unparalleled Sword Qi. The power is immense and rare in this world, but the downside is obvious; after being consumed, it’s hard to replenish.”

This was something Li Canghai understood very well.

It seemed that in order to withstand that strike, Luo Chen had used countless strands of Sword Qi, which was all he had left.

”I know of a place that is filled with countless Nine Heavens Celestial Qi. If you wish for that sword technique to return to its peak, perhaps you could search there.”

Luo Chen immediately became interested.

”Please enlighten me, senior!”

”That place is actually quite famous. When I mention it, you will recognize it immediately. It is called Beiji Yemo Tian!”

...

Above the Blue Ice Sea.

The Black King had already fully recovered, perched atop the ice, eagerly awaiting.

Little White stood on his head, leaning against that Dragon Horn, gazing towards the Soul Ice Mountain.

The two chatted intermittently, but neither seemed fully attentive, both fixated on that mountain.

At nightfall.

A shadow floated down the mountain under the icy blue moonlight reflected on the ice.

”Master, are you alright?”

”Master, Little Black missed you so much!”

”I’m fine.” Luo Chen replied to Little White, then looked at Black King, ”Really or imagined?”

The Black King cried sadly, ”Of course it’s real. Since losing you at the Netherworld Sea, Little Black couldn’t eat or sleep, I’ve become skinny.”

”Hehe.” Luo Chen looked at his corpulent dragon body with a smirk, ”How come I heard from senior Li Canghai that when he found you, you were living it up back in your homeland, carefree and at ease?”

The Black King was stunned.

That old man, why did he have to spread such things!

After all, it had been his master for a while, didn’t it know that family scandals should not be shared?

Luo Chen didn’t bother with the fellow, waving his hand, a flying shuttle appeared in front of him.

”Get on!”

”Master, where are we going?” Little White, seeing Luo Chen was fine, felt relieved. Seeing the Frost Eagle Shuttle, it knew a long journey was likely ahead and asked curiously.

Luo Chen looked around, finally fixing his gaze resolutely to the south.

”First to Zhongzhou!”

The Frost Eagle Shuttle soared into the sky. Little White took charge of piloting the shuttle, while Luo Chen took out a piece of Jade Jue, using his Divine Consciousness to imprint the fragmented Yun Shen Pill formula from before. The Black King reduced its size, lying on Luo Chen’s shoulder, mumbling about the events after leaving Luo Chen, trying to restore its image of loyalty in its master’s heart.

Luo Chen listened casually, not very concerned about the Black King’s carefree days. His attention was on the fragmented formula.

When he first saw the fragmented formula, at least three completion methods instinctively came to his mind.

The first two he had already told Li Canghai, but the latter one, he didn’t mention much.

Because the latter one wasn’t just completion, but optimization, even requiring changes to the main material configuration.

However, these were things to do at leisure later, the current priority was to verify what Li Canghai said.

Is the Tianyuan Daoist Sect really preparing to reunite Zhongzhou and recreate Heaven and Earth Peak?

...

After the great catastrophe in Zhongzhou, this largest continent in the Mountain Sea Realm split into five, forming the southeast, northwest four continents, and an enormous island, Heaven and Earth Island, which carried the disrupted Heaven and Earth Peak.

The Western Continent has already sunk, many cultivators on it, including three of the Twelve Great Houses, were swept away by the Netherworld Sea.

The remaining three continents became the resting and recuperating place for Tianyuan Daoist Sect cultivators.

And the Li Bei Continent is the closest continent to the North Sea.

On it reside the three top Immortal Cultivation Clans, the Gu Family, Tan Family, and Gu Family, from the twelve great houses, second in power only to the East Yuan Continent where the Daoist Ancestral Court is located.

However, over the years, the Li Bei Continent didn’t fare well either.

Numerous Sea Demons from the North Sea frequently attacked Li Bei Continent, consuming much of the strength of its great powers.

Thus, when one person, one beast, and one ghost quietly infiltrated the Li Bei Continent, no one discovered them.

In an inland lake, under it was an underwater palace, with many figures bustling about inside.

Centered around the palace, extensive array patterns spread out, extending far away, almost with no end in sight.

Luo Chen walked casually along the array patterns. The nearby cultivators clearly brushed past him, yet detected nothing.

Luo Chen continued onward, with his gaze fixed on the array patterns, eventually stopping outside a stone hall at the core of the Underground Palace.

He didn’t enter, as he had learned what he sought to know.

”Li Canghai didn’t lie to me!”

Luo Chen turned to leave.

Exiting the Underground Palace, ascending straight to the Nine Heavens.

He opened his Red Eyes Golden Pupils, and combined with the external Divine Perception gathered by his Primordial Spirit, overlooked the entire Li Bei Continent from a macro perspective, even glancing toward the other two continents.

He silently observed, the Qi Power within him circulates, as his Primordial Spirit seemed connected to the heavens and earth.

Vaguely, he sensed the flow of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, his eyes occasionally catching sight of the jumping migration of Spirit Mechanisms.

”To reunite Zhongzhou is not difficult for a Divine Transformation Great Power. Even a Nascent Soul like myself has the power to move mountains and fill seas.”

”But the Tianyuan Daoist Sect arranged numerous arrays, their aim isn’t just to reunite a few continents.”

”They are also drawing Spirit Mechanisms!”

”If Heaven and Earth Peak is truly the core of the God Descent Array, then these Spirit Mechanisms must be heading toward Heaven and Earth Peak.”

Little White appeared beside Luo Chen, asking with a look of puzzlement, ”Master, in that case, why don’t you destroy these arrays?”

Luo Chen retorted, ”Li Canghai knew before me, and he also has intentions toward the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, so why didn’t he destroy them?”

Little White was speechless.

Luo Chen shook his head; these arrays are just marginal issues, they can be rebuilt if destroyed.

What truly matters is Heaven and Earth Peak and that Spiritual Treasure Lan Ke Chessboard capable of suppressing the Spirit Mechanisms of an entire continent!

Acting rashly now would trigger a devastating counterattack from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, without achieving anything.

So, we must wait strategically, and act at the right time!

But doing nothing and waiting isn’t Luo Chen’s character.

”Let’s go, to the Beiji Yemo Tian!”
