Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Inside the Cave Mansion of the Three-tiered Waterfall, Zhou Fuqiu cultivated with a focused mind.

Unlike his past breakthroughs which quickly stabilized his realm, this time he felt his realm remained stable, but he didn’t hastily leave; instead, he patiently honed his Qi Power bit by bit.

This unusual action stemmed from the unknown and fear.

He didn’t know where the spring eye on his body came from, and he was terrified of the terrifying power contained within this spring eye.

Only by honing his Qi Power and mastering his own strength as much as possible did he have the confidence to face that spring eye.

Yet, in the years of honing his realm, he suddenly discovered that his Qi Power was rising at an eye-popping speed.

This had already surpassed the total Spirit Qi he absorbed from the Outer World!

Worldly energy cannot arise from nothing; there must be a source.

And this source, for Zhou Fuqiu at this moment, was too easy to explore.

It was precisely that spring eye!

Threads of Origin Power flowed out from the spring eye, eventually forming a river, rushing turbulently in his Meridians and Purple Mansion.

The realm, advancing rapidly!

First Layer of Nascent Soul, Second Layer, Third Layer...

In this insane ascent of the realm, Zhou Fuqiu suddenly comprehended why he had abundant Qi Power since childhood?

Even though he was cultivating the shortcut-seeking, Qi Power-deficient Lu Chan Technique, his Qi Power always surpassed those of the same Order due to this very spring eye.

It truly seized the creation of heaven and earth, capable of nurturing an expanse of rivers and seas on its own.

Thus, even when just occasionally leaking tiny streams, it was like a tsunami for his formerly low realm.

The Lu Chan Technique was merely a key, a key continuously unlocking higher realms; once it unlocked a little more, the spring eye would provide more strength for him.

Until he entered the Nascent Soul Stage!

Until he sensed the True Intent of the Water Origin’s Law!

”Though I don’t know what kind of existence this spring eye is, I absolutely cannot let it devour me!”

Zhou Fuqiu took a deep breath, began to calm his mind, and concentrated on understanding the Water Origin.

He had a feeling that as long as he further mastered the Water Origin, he would have the chance to perfectly control this spring eye.

...

Fifty years later!

The location of the Three-tiered Waterfall had become a forbidden area, devoid of any life.

Even a hundred miles away, it seemed they could faintly hear the rumbling sound from the mountain waterfall.

Like a heartbeat, like giant waves rolling.

On this day!

Wow—

Powerful Qi Power surged out from the Three-tiered Waterfall, turning into boundless black giant waves, sweeping in all directions.

Wherever they passed, vegetation vanished in an instant, rocks rotted into sand, a thousand-mile land turning into a swamp.

A figure floated in the swamp’s vast ocean, tightly pursing his lips.

”It’s Ming Shui!”

”This spring eye not only contains the Water Origin, but is also condensed from the purest Ming Water True Essence.”

”No wonder, since my birth, I’ve possessed the Xuanming Dao Body. This body was nurtured by the Ming Water spring eye, bit by bit!”

In realization, Zhou Fuqiu felt quite fortunate.

At least, now he could somewhat control this spring eye.

With a thought, boundless Qi Power swiftly flowed back, surging back into his body.

The Outer World was barren, while within the Purple Mansion.

Aside from the life Nascent Soul holding the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, a spring eye was rooted, from which black liquid flowed and rippled outward.

These black liquids affectionately encircled the Nascent Soul, allowing the little one to play and drink freely.

As his mind returned, Zhou Fuqiu let out a long breath.

Calculating, it had been approximately eighty years since he entered Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

Such a long time—a full lifetime for mortals—but for a High-level Cultivator, it’s merely one session of Closed-Door Cultivation.

At this point, Zhou Fuqiu actually wanted to leave Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

Even if only ten months had passed in the Outer World, for him, it felt impatiently long.

He had cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage, not disappointing his ancestors’ expectations, nor his master’s teachings, and he wished to share this joy with Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother... and his younger sister Zhou Qingyu.

But before that, there was still one thing to attend to.

Zhou Fuqiu took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, with Junior Master Li’s voice still echoing inside.

The elder asked him to contribute to the Sect, and naturally, he couldn’t decline.

Zhou Fuqiu discerned the direction slightly, then flew towards the center of Cave Heaven.

Upon passing a valley, Zhou Fuqiu paused, his eyes slightly narrowing.

The place seemed ordinary, but after comprehending the True Intent of the Law, this valley appeared too peculiar.

Not only was it not exhaling Spirit Qi, but it was also voraciously devouring.

Countless traces of Heaven and Earth Qi were absorbed in, like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.

”Interesting!”

Zhou Fuqiu expressed curiosity, his form flickering, appearing at the valley entrance.

Just as he was about to enter, a familiar figure emerged from within.

”Gumu Yu?”

Gumu Yu was also taken aback upon seeing Zhou Fuqiu, especially sensing the undisguised mana fluctuation emanating from him, revealing a look of astonishment.

”Brother Zhou, you’ve broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage?”

Zhou Fuqiu nodded slightly, then curiously glanced at the valley behind her.

Gumu Yu appeared slightly nervous, but considering her backing by the Ancient Giant House of Gu Family, she ultimately had some confidence.

”This is a secret garden our Gu Family specifically opened in Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven to cultivate Spirit Medicine; I hope Brother Zhou keeps it a secret for my younger sister.”
