Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Facing Luo Chen, somehow Chi Mo started speaking freely.

As if being prompted, or as though he had long wanted to vent his worries, Chi Mo narrated his own background one by one.

He came from a cultivation country called the Great Yu Dynasty.

The resources there were scarce, and advancement was difficult.

However, the geographical environment was quite unique, with independent space nodes scattered around the Great Yu Dynasty, rumored to be ancient battlefields left from the war between humans and demons in ancient times.

Later, through exploration and development by high-level cultivators, it gradually formed a special place known as the ”Outer Domain Battlefield.”

Any immortal cultivator aspiring for longevity would go break into the Outer Domain Battlefield after achieving some realm accomplishment, seeking great fortune to cultivate to a higher realm.

Chi Mo was one such person.

He indeed succeeded, acquiring inheritance and legacy from the place where an ancient cultivator expired.

But when he was leaving, he was unfortunately swept into a space crack and inexplicably ended up in the Great Destruction Realm.

In such a situation, he was naturally at a loss.

After living in Wuyou City for some time and witnessing the degradation of cultivators around him, he dared not comply.

Especially at the Golden Core Great Perfection realm, which gave him an intense obsession and impulse to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Therefore, even knowing that the Great Destruction Realm is unsuitable for immortal cultivation, he still tries his best to cultivate.

And hopes to try to leave the Great Destruction Realm after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

It’s just that...

It’s too inefficient!

The Spirit Qi from a Top Grade Spirit Stone here is even worse than that of a common Lower Grade Spirit Stone from back in the Great Yu Dynasty.

Often, once released, most of the Spirit Qi would dissipate.

And yet Divine Consciousness cannot be fully released, to avoid attracting Soul-shaking Thunder Sound, which impacts the Divine Soul Origin.

After a round of venting, before he knew it, it was already midnight.

”Sorry, for letting the senior see a joke.” Chi Mo said with relief.

Luo Chen waved his hand, ”With your talent of reaching Core Formation at one hundred twenty, and your unyielding Dao Heart despite adversity, if you were in the Outer World, a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage would naturally be a sure thing.”

Chi Mo sighed, ”Yes, I worked tirelessly for so long, and my preparations were incomparably thorough. Now, others tell me there’s no hope for a breakthrough; either abandon the Dao Fruit to switch to the Path of Martial Arts, or indulge in decadence, using the long lifespan gained from arduous cultivation to enjoy life. I can’t accept either option.”

Luo Chen asked, ”Then do you know, even if you break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, it’s impossible to leave the Great Destruction Realm?”

”Of course I know, but I always want to try. And even if the Nascent Soul Stage won’t work, what about the Divine Transformation Stage? Refining Void...” Saying this, Chi Mo stopped, for the senior before him once reached the Divine Transformation Stage in the Immortal Dao Realm! He couldn’t help but show despair on his face, ”Could it be even someone as strong as you, senior, can’t leave?”

Luo Chen stood up and patted his shoulder.

”If possible, still disperse your Golden Core, convert to Qi Blood Power, and attempt the Path of Martial Arts!”

After saying this, Luo Chen left.

Behind him, Chi Mo’s expression was gloomy and uncertain, still showing signs of struggle.

...

Leaving Pingyang Lane, where the cultivators resided, Luo Chen headed towards the bustling street in Wuyou City.

Named Exiled Immortal Tower, yet in reality the Fallen Immortal Tower, a place of amusement, where Mishan Smoke pervades deeply, where once accomplished immortal cultivators enjoy the comfort of their Divine Souls amidst the smoke, indulging in various illusions.

The fine wine and delicacies that once served as mere entertainment have now become the best way for cultivators to pass time, with the Drunken Immortal Pavilion open all night.

And pawnshops are scattered across the long streets.

Whenever cultivators take out medicinal ingredients or elixir pills, there’s naturally someone offering generous payments.

But various Immortal Dao Techniques, on the other hand, fail to sell at high prices.

Through the introduction of Xiang Fei and Chi Mo’s venting, Luo Chen already understands that the vast Wuyou City has formed a complete industry chain, gradually squeezing out the wealth of these cultivators.

Of course, there are also cultivators with strong will like Chi Mo, who still try to cultivate but are struggling immensely.

It’s heard that there are also those like Luo Chen, who switched to the Path of Martial Arts, but progress is slow, with very few managing to break into the Annihilation Nine Rings.

At the break of dawn.

Luo Chen returned to Leaping Dragon Alley amidst the morning dew.

Thinking about the different crowds in the two alleys, Luo Chen’s emotions were complex.

Some were unlucky, falling from peaks, while others tried to leap the dragon gate; everyone struggling to survive in this Returning Ruins.

Wuyou?

Just ignorance!

What about himself?

In the alley, Xiang Fei leaned against the door and waved at Luo Chen from afar.

”Senior, you’re back!”
