Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Jing Lan exhaled a breath of turbid qi and reinvigorated her spirits.

”Even though Brother Luo has left, the task of collecting training resources for him must continue, and even more diligently.”

With this thought, Jing Lan faced Xiang Fei again.

”Regarding the matter of Yan Zhi Oil, you must put pressure on Sanxiang City!”

This time, Xiang Fei had no excuses.

”Of course!”

...

On the carriage.

Luo Chen kept his eyes tightly closed, all his focus concentrated within his body.

Inside the Qi Blood Furnace, a mass of gray mist was violently crashing around, causing bursts of dull pain inside Luo Chen.

”Is this what’s called Chaotic Energy?”

Luo Chen observed for a long time but still couldn’t discern any clues.

Ultimately, the lack of Divine Perception made it difficult for him to see the details.

Yet from the ferocity of this gas, he analyzed why Immortal Cultivators couldn’t train in the Annihilation Nine Rings, and why Wuyou City only allowed high-level martial artists from other big cities to go there.

Chaotic Energy is pervasive, penetrating wherever there’s a gap.

For Immortal Cultivators, the focus is on opening acupoints around the body to draw in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Encountering Chaotic Energy can instantly rupture the physical body, let alone refining it for one’s own use?

Only Leakless Realm martial artists, who can control the opening and closing of acupoints, could absorb a small amount of Chaotic Energy and close the acupoints to prevent being shattered.

However, some martial artists with weaker cultivation levels failed to control it properly, resulting in excessive residual Chaotic Energy that severely injured themselves.

Like Xiang Fei and others.

”Keeping it inside the body is ultimately a hidden danger; let’s refine it!”

The Qi Blood Furnace began to rotate slowly, and one by one, powerful Blood Refining Divine Gangs surged into it, unraveling and refining the Chaotic Energy piece by piece.

During this refining process, Luo Chen also expelled some impurities from his body.

Several days later, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

”The qi-blood in my body has indeed increased significantly.”

”If the Annihilation Nine Rings contain a large amount of this energy, it indeed can cultivate many high-order martial artists.”

”That place, I am becoming increasingly curious.”

...

”Whoa!”

The sound of horses being reined in came from outside.

Then came the sound of heavy armored footsteps approaching.

”Lord, we’ve arrived at Red Leaf Ridge.”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Luo Chen, dressed in white, stepped out.

Chu Zhaonan dared not meet his gaze and quickly lowered his head.

He was the only survivor of Xiao Feng’s faction.

Though he didn’t know why Luo Chen spared him after the fact, now he only felt an even deeper fear.

Luo Chen ignored his mentality and simply looked into the distance.

In the midst of the desolate and lonely ridge, only a large tree about ten feet tall swayed with the wind.

Underneath the tree, cracks spread across the ground, occasionally emitting trails of Evil Qi.

There were also exposed white bones, intimidating to behold.

At the moment he saw this tree, an image appeared in Luo Chen’s mind.

”This isn’t a Red Leaf Tree; it’s clearly an Illusion Dream Locust Tree!”

According to the ”Mystic Realm Secret Record,” there exists a top-tier force called Youdu, filled with Illusion Dream Locust Trees that attract ghost creatures day and night.

The tree does not appear formidable, usually only ten feet tall, looking like an ordinary sapling.

But here, in the Returning Ruins of the Land of No Spirit, there stands an Illusion Dream Locust Tree that has grown to a height of thirty feet!

Thus, it explains why this tree can attract ghostly nightmares and similar ghost creatures.

After carefully examining the Illusion Dream Locust Tree, Luo Chen leapt off the carriage.

Under the tense watch of over a hundred Xuan Armor Soldiers, he stepped directly into the area of Red Leaf Ridge.

The Evil Qi surged from the crevices in the ground, but Luo Chen seemed unaware, only opening his Red Eyes Golden Pupils, meticulously observing the surrounding terrain.

While observing, he muttered to himself.

”Not enough!”

”Still not enough!”

”A more detailed arrangement is required!”

”And I’m lacking many materials; I must dispatch someone to Yixian City to bring them back.”

This scene seemed inexplicable to the Xuan Armor Soldiers.

But if Min Longyu were here, he might understand what Luo Chen intended to do.

Array Formation!

Luo Chen wanted to set up a big formation, to alter the terrain of Red Leaf Ridge, enhancing the properties of the Illusion Dream Locust Tree a hundredfold!

He aimed to attract more and stronger ghostly nightmares here!
