Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Using the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm to cultivate Spirit Medicine?

Such a thing is not unusual, but the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven is different from ordinary Secret Realms; it is the cradle for the High-Order talents of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, where the power needs constant accumulation.

Usually, it isn’t wasted on spirit medicine or plants, and it’s opened only once every five hundred years for new Nascent Souls to contemplate the Law’s True Intent.

The Gu Family dares to do such things secretly?

Zhou Fuqiu said calmly, ”Since it requires secrecy, why tell me the truth?”

Gumu Yu smiled wryly, ”In fact, people have tried it before, but each time it opens, it requires as long as five hundred years. Planted inside the Cave Heaven, it’s as long as fifty thousand years. In such a long time, the Spirit Medicine cultivated by the previous generation either withers away or is destroyed by Illusion Beasts, rarely yielding results. Thus, the Sect High Level turns a blind eye to such matters and won’t pursue them. I tell you, Senior Brother, only to hope that you won’t spread the word and bring disrepute to the Gu Family.”

”I see.” Zhou Fuqiu nodded, then looked inside curiously, ”Can I go in and have a look?”

Gumu Yu hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to let him through.

”Please!”

She thought it through clearly; given Zhou Fuqiu’s age and talent, especially now that he’s broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, he will undoubtedly be a high-ranking figure in the Tianyuan Daoist Sect in the future.

Such existence should not be easily offended.

After all, he only wanted to have a look.

Led by Gumu Yu, Zhou Fuqiu entered the valley.

Upon entry, everything felt remarkably different.

The extremely dense Clear Spirit Qi spread throughout, just taking a whiff made one feel utterly refreshed.

Looking around, Zhou Fuqiu couldn’t help but feel amazed.

There were exceptionally well-grown Thunderstruck Wood, Flaming Flower like a flame, and a patch of grass as sharp as swords...

”Were these all planted by you, Junior Sister?” Zhou Fuqiu was somewhat incredulous, given his experience, he could naturally perceive that these Exotic Treasures have mostly flourished.

Gumu Yu shook her head, ”Senior Brother overestimates me; I’ve only been in the Cave Heaven for eighty years. These things were planted by an elder named Gu Yuan from the Gu Family two hundred years ago during the Cave Heaven Competition.”

Zhou Fuqiu realized, thinking, ”Two hundred years ago it was when my master attended that Cave Heaven Competition.”

In this case, these medicinal materials must be Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicine by now!

Their medicinal power, their order...

”Oh, why don’t these flowers, plants, and trees communicate spiritually?”

”That, Junior Sister does not know. I was only instructed by my elder to take care of them occasionally. Nobody expected the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven to open in less than five hundred years.”

Zhou Fuqiu nodded; this indeed was unexpected by many.

Walking around the valley, Zhou Fuqiu did not linger long; he chatted with Gumu Yu for a while before hurrying away.

After he left, Gumu Yu finally sighed in relief.

Though it is said that this peerless prodigy has a reclusive nature and is difficult to get along with, having interacted with him, it seems not too bad.

Is it because his realm has broken through?

The woman did not think too much about it; as long as she endures the last twenty years, her task will be complete.

When she leaves, reporting the situation of the Spirit Medicine Valley to the clan elder will undoubtedly earn her praise; at that time, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage will get her full support from the clan.

On the other side.

Leaving the Spirit Medicine Valley, Zhou Fuqiu was still reminiscing about that medicinal valley.

”These Giant House clans, their thoughts are far-reaching. While ordinary families pursue minor benefits, they have already planned for Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicine. Once successful, the future will be vastly beneficial.”

”Thinking like this, the development of my Zhou Family may be somewhat short-sighted.”

”After leaving, it’s necessary to visit the Zhou Family, make some changes based on actual conditions. This way, I won’t disregard the parting instructions of our ancestor.”

Perhaps due to the breakthrough in realm, his mood was more relaxed.

Previously, Zhou Fuqiu always considered only himself and his younger sister; now, his thoughts gradually extended to the clan.

Perhaps this is what they mean by solitary virtue when poor, aiding the world when prosperous, even if it’s just expanding the aid to clan members.

Carrying this notion, Zhou Fuqiu proceeded, finally reaching his destination before sunset.

From a high vantage, thirty-seven figures dotted like stars across the flat plains below.

An overwhelmingly grand and expansive feeling naturally arose.

As though they weren’t cultivating here, but suppressing something?

Zhou Fuqiu moved slightly inwardly, speaking loudly to everyone, ”Disciple Zhou Fuqiu greets all Junior Masters and Senior Uncles!”

His arrival had long been detected by everyone.

Someone smiled and said, ”Having achieved Nascent Soul, you are a peer; you may call us Senior Brother.”

Another disagreed, saying, ”No, no, no, Nephew Zhou, though a member of the Noble Families, follows the master-disciple path within the Daoist Sect, one cannot casually change, disrupting hierarchy.”

”Why should we care about these things in our cultivation?”

Familiar voices rang out, Junior Master Li waved from afar to Zhou Fuqiu.

”Come, let me take you to meet someone!”

Zhou Fuqiu cupped his hands towards all sides, then followed behind Junior Master Li, heading to the center.

Setting foot on the ground, he could truly feel the immense power concealed beneath.

This was an extremely majestic force, even more terrifying than the Ming Water Spring Eye within him, truly stepping on it almost brought a sense of dread.
