Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Is this a totem pillar?”

Luo Chen’s years in cultivation weren’t long, at least compared to a normal Divine Transformation Great Power, he would absolutely be considered young.

But his insight was not weak at all.

Since the Qi Refinement Stage, Luo Chen had a great love for reading books, not only those related to cultivation but also those documenting local customs and strange mysteries.

At this moment, standing before him was a fundamental element in the ancient civilization’s cultivation system.

Totem pillar!

The birds and beasts engraved on it were representations of those powerful savage beasts.

And this altar...

With a thoughtful gaze, Luo Chen waved his hand, causing materials to fly out from his storage ring.

He methodically refined the materials, infusing them into those broken patterns.

Gradually, this altar began to shimmer with spirit light.

In the distance, Gu Caiyi and the others sensed the anomaly and flew over.

Upon reuniting, they saw Luo Chen already sitting atop the totem pillar.

”If I’m not mistaken, this altar’s function is somewhat akin to a mortal’s enlightenment school or a cultivator’s Spirit Testing Ceremony.”

Luo Chen muttered to himself, as if explaining to others, yet also seemingly reinforcing his own confidence.

”But unlike normal enlightenment and aptitude testing, due to the totem pillar’s influence, the ancient civilization’s children could resonate with the wild beast blood within using their own blood, thus gaining certain special abilities of the savage beasts.”

”Is this the cultivation path of the ancient civilization?”

”Body refinement? Qi refinement? Or perhaps neither, but rather harnessing the beast’s power to strengthen oneself?”

”And how was the powerful savage beast blood within this totem pillar collected?”

As he pondered these questions, spirit light from the surrounding altar shone upon Luo Chen.

The totem pillar beneath him began to tremble.

The totems of various birds and beasts started to flicker, until at last, only a vividly lifelike crane-like savage beast with red stripes on a blue body, a white beak, and a single leg remained, poised to soar.

Luo Chen could sense that after he reactivated this altar, a faint but infinitely potent force from the totem pillar sought to enter his body.

”Heavenly Fire Crane?”

”No!”

”So compatible with my Fire Spirit Body, and seeing this immensely potent bloodline, its rank must be above the Heavenly Fire Crane savage beast.”

”Moreover, although it’s fire attribute, it is born of wood, bearing traits very similar to the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire.”

”It’s the Divine Bird Bi Fang!”

In the legends of the Immortal Clans, there are many fire gods.

Like the Phoenix, the Golden Crow, and also the Vermilion Bird, Bi Fang, etc.

But each fire god has its focus.

For instance, the Phoenix, while mastering the Nirvana Sacred Fire, its nobility is more about being the king of all birds.

The Golden Crow is truly the symbol of the sun; whether such a divine bird exists at all remains unknown.

But the Divine Bird Bi Fang, is authentically recorded in texts as being born from the fire of wood and bamboo, hence it gives Luo Chen a sensation very similar to the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire.

Luo Chen became interested, intentionally releasing his Qi barrier, inviting that trace of breath into his body.

Once inside, this breath tried to stir Luo Chen’s blood.

But Luo Chen’s source blood, nearly at the Fifth Order, wasn’t something a mere wisp of breath could stir.

Luo Chen deliberately allowed a portion of his source blood to be maneuvered by the breath.

Subsequently, this wisp of breath carrying the source blood began circulating throughout Luo Chen’s body.

Time slowly passed.

A day, two days...

Perhaps Luo Chen’s physical body was too powerful, causing the blood circulation to take longer.

After a long while, Luo Chen vaguely perceived that this seemed to be a cultivation route, a cultivation method.

Differing greatly from traditional Body Refinement Techniques, it resembled more Luo Chen’s early creation of ”The Flow of All Things,” aiming to temper the cultivator’s physical body towards the savage beast path.

”Totem Body Refining Technique?”

And amid Luo Chen’s introspection, Gu Caiyi and others had long been guarding the surroundings, prohibiting any biological interruptions.

Suddenly!

As dusk fell, Kong Chan abruptly looked up.

”Be careful!”

The three great spirit beasts and Gu Caiyi, puzzled, instinctively looked up.

Only to see under the night sky, a comet resembling a broom, trailing a long fiery tail, coming from beyond the heavens.

Gu Caiyi’s expression drastically changed, ”It’s a star fall!”

Without hesitation, she was about to soar into the sky.

”Your husband is comprehending ancient techniques; do not let this celestial phenomenon disturb him.”

The four great spirit beasts were about to rise together, but a voice interrupted their actions.

”Stop it all!”

Everyone looked at Luo Chen with delight.

He spoke with a somewhat grave expression, ”This size of meteor; it’s not something you all can confront head-on. Get closer to me.”

Over these years in the Wilderness, everyone had become accustomed to following Luo Chen’s arrangements, and they all flew up to the altar.

Luo Chen sat on the totem pillar, looking at this unexpected visitor from beyond, his expression serious.

First, he released an umbrella, shielding everyone.

Then a longsword appeared in his hand, it was Yuan Tu!

His mind stirred, unleashing a powerful burst of sword energy.

An imposing star river composed of sword light surged upward, directly toward the meteor.

A Thousand Streams Flowing Together, Qi Chong Star Han!

Boom!

In an instant collision, infinite light and heat burst forth.

The terrifying destructive force erupted in a single moment.

The whole terrain quaked, as if pressed several feet downward.

Everyone looked up, seeing above the Bone Burial Umbrella, a star fall like rain, firelight filled, seemingly about to destroy this world.

Luo Chen also stared blankly at this scene, seemingly enlightened.

For a Divine Transformation Great Power to resist celestial phenomena isn’t considered a challenging feat.
