Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The difficulties and troubles encountered in recent years are truly hard to describe in a few words, and even my cultivation realm has been delayed somewhat.

If the position of Guest Elder at Luo Tian Sect is really that easy, then it’s not something I can’t consider.

Gu Caiyi suddenly said, ”Perhaps you are not yet aware that our sect’s Alchemy Institute does have capable individuals. Within, there are my husband’s two direct disciples presiding, and they have inherited my husband’s pill refinement techniques completely. You might consider discussing with them.”

As these words were spoken, Qi Ying’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten.

The aura surrounding Luo Chen is not composed solely of his outstanding combat achievements.

Before that, the name ”Luo Chen Dan Sect” was the honor that made Luo Chen resound throughout the Eastern Wasteland.

Further, there are rumors that the current Luo Chen’s pill refinement technique may have already matched that of the Alchemy Saint Chu Yan from Mingyuan!

And as his direct disciples, their pill refinement techniques are certainly not ordinary.

”If that’s the case, then I am rather intrigued,” Qi Ying said.

At this point, Qi Ying suddenly became somewhat curious.

”By the way, what about Senior Luo? Since returning from the West Desert, he has been out of sight. This junior still wishes to inquire about a few issues related to pill techniques.”

Concerning this question, Gu Caiyi was a bit hesitant.

But ultimately, she candidly said, ”My husband has been handling a major affair lately; I believe you will see him soon.”

Qi Ying is quite curious, considering that an undertaking significant even for a Divine Transformation Great Power; one wonders what sort of important matter it could be?

...

The Netherworld Abyss, where dark streams lurk.

An imposing mountain deeply recessed at the bottom of the abyss, unseen by daylight.

Four silhouettes, one leading three, slowly ascend along the base of the mountain.

”Master, regarding the prohibitions at Yanfu Mountain, over the years I’ve deciphered all prohibitions around the mountain base. But those at the mountainside and even the three halls atop the mountain have me utterly at a loss. Usually, deploying some minor ghosts to explore inside results mostly in their never returning, quite tricky indeed.”

Luo Chen, walking in front, replied without turning his head, ”The mountainside houses Cave Mansions where Mingyuan Sect’s Nascent Soul True Masters once cultivated in seclusion, and the Cave Mansion Prohibitions set there, considering your array attainment, are naturally troublesome. But no matter, these prohibitions won’t affect my next actions.”

Upon reaching the mountainside, the white-clothed Daoist casually gestured toward a Cave Mansion.

The prohibition within instantly collapsed on the outer world.

In a flash, copious spirit qi accumulated over centuries surged forth.

Witnessing this move, Little White couldn’t help but cheer, ”That’s Master for you!”

A middle-aged man in plain dark robes, observing the scene, also couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

The world knows of Luo Chen Dan Sect’s name, but does not know his array attainment has a Grandmaster’s understanding.

Indeed, in this world, the talentless are helpless, while the talented can achieve anything.

As for the other, a wrinkled, weary elderly man, he seemed indifferent.

The quartet continued onward, eventually halting at the plaza atop Yanfu Mountain.

Before them stood three towering halls.

”What truly matters are these three halls’ prohibitions!”

Tianming Palace, Heavenly Pool Palace, Heavenly Water Palace.

Corresponding respectively to Mingyuan Sect’s Yu Ming, Tian Yuan, Heize, the Three Great Ancestors.

Luo Chen turned to face the elderly man, speaking with a gentle tone, ”Tian Douzi, don’t you think so?”

”Senior’s words are indeed true; if Mingyuan is to subside and Yanfu rises again, one must first break the three halls’ prohibitions and control all of Yanfu Mountain.”

The elderly man is none other than the Supreme Elder Tian Douzi of the East Desolate Array Sect!

His age is quite advanced, coupled with severe injuries received during the Human and Demon War, even using the Life Extension Technique, he barely survives to this day, but lacks the strength to further break into the Divine Transformation Realm.

After receiving the Ti Hu Pill from Luo Chen, he merely gave it to his favored junior brother.

As for himself, he was invited by Luo Chen to aid in deciphering the array forbiddance atop Yanfu Mountain.

Tian Douzi meticulously observed his surroundings, then suddenly said with surprise, ”Has the Tianming Palace’s Prohibition already been broken?”

”It’s no wonder you!” Luo Chen praised, then explained, ”Tianming Palace, due to condensing the Ming Water Spring Eye, thus possesses the weakest prohibitions, forcibly broken by numerous Ghost Emperors of Mingyuan two hundred years ago.”

Tian Douzi stroked his beard, ”That makes things easier indeed. With the three halls’ prohibitions connected in energy and branch, with one hall broken, the remaining two are weakened by three-tenths. Initially estimating it would take at least ten years, now it seems only three to five years are needed for Yanfu Mountain to see daylight again.”

”Then all the better!”

Luo Chen laughed, then turned to the middle-aged man in plain dark robes.

”Deng Taiyue, once the Three Halls’ prohibitions are thoroughly broken, inevitably impacting the outer world, then it’d be troublesome for you to stabilize Yanfu Mountain.”

Deng Taiyue responded without hesitation, ”This is Deng’s duty; Senior need not worry!”

Some outsiders might wonder why Deng Taiyue, a Supreme from Taishan Sect, would speak of this as his responsibility.

But Luo Chen is crystal clear.

He promised the other party back then, that if Deng Taiyue helped him succeed and comprehended the Law’s True Intent, then afterward, he’d assist in finding a Fifth Order Spirit Vein to break into the God Transformation Realm!

And this Yanfu Mountain, is Luo Chen’s assurance.

Once Mingyuan subsides and Yanfu rises again, Luo Tian Sect will hold a Fifth Order Spirit Vein!

Deng Taiyue breaking through the God Transformation Realm is simply a matter of course.

All preparations complete, the task of breaking the array is set to begin.

However, before that, Luo Chen unexpectedly entered the Tianming Palace.

”What’s the intention here?” Tian Douzi puzzled.

The three quietly awaited outside the hall.

After some time, Tianming Palace trembled slightly.

Upon seeing this, Tian Douzi’s eyes narrowed.

Array?

”Is he setting an array to draw in water vapors?”

Beside him, Deng Taiyue first nodded, then uncertainly glanced around.

”It’s not just vapors; there seems to be abundant Water Origin energy within the Tianming Palace dispersing, attracting the Origin Force of the Nether Abyss?”

The two exchanged a glance, sensing grasping inklings.

Luo Chen intends to utilize the power of Yanfu Mountain and his comprehension of the Water Origin to forcibly condense the Ming Water Spring Eye!

Is this something within human capability?

Within Tianming Palace.

Luo Chen concentrated fully, gazing at the black water pool within the hall.

In his view, the so-called Ming Water Spring Eye, is akin to an Earth Spirit Acupoint.

A place of such caliber, inherently beyond human capability, typically requires Heaven and Earth Power to nurture over time.

However, it’s been two hundred years since the last condensation of the Ming Water Spring Eye.

Suspended so long, time has condensed it anew.

Having experienced mastering a Ming Water Spring Eye before, and comprehending the Water Origin, he now intends to employ the Tianming Palace’s past arrays to channel the mysterious force into this place.

He must ensure that the reconsolidated Ming Water Spring Eye manifests not elsewhere in the Netherworld Abyss, but within the Tianming Palace.

Only then can Luo Tian Sect truly command this Ancient Strange Abyss!

When all preparations were complete, Luo Chen exited Tianming Palace, turned to the three.

”Let’s begin!”

Next, each moved into action.

Little White first departed, heading down Yanfu Mountain towards Luo Tian Sect.

Her task was straightforward yet most intricate, that being the placement of corresponding arrays by the entire Luo Tian Sect atop the former Mingyuan Sect territories.

This affair cannot be managed alone; it requires Sect Master Luo Lingxi to lead the whole sect.

Deng Taiyue remained in place, his Qi Power gradually spreading, enveloping Yanfu Mountain with the power of Earth Origin.

Meanwhile, Tian Douzi rushed towards Heavenly Pool Palace.

His task mirrors Luo Chen’s, breaking through the remaining two halls’ prohibitions!

Standing before Heavenly Water Palace, Luo Chen’s expression rarely showed a tinge of sigh.

This place is not only one of the three supreme symbols of power within Mingyuan Sect but also where Heize Ancestor, who succumbed to his sword, resided.

Once submitting to him, then slaying him personally, he now breaks everything to inherit the other’s legacy.

The unpredictability of life’s changes, how can it not leave one sighing?

”I wonder what that old ghost left within the cave mansion?”

Luo Chen chuckled softly, beginning his observation of the palace defensive array to prepare for deciphering.
