Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen laughed heartily, neither admitting nor denying it.

That indeed was an unspoken rule in the Alchemy World.

But it didn’t quite apply to him, Luo Chen.

Because once his proficiency increased, he could control the grade of each batch!

Even Top Grade Pills, he could mass-produce them!

Gu Xun then asked, ”Friend Luo, besides preserving items and creating small spaces, what other uses do Void Bud Crystals have that make you search for them so diligently?”

Faced with this question, Luo Chen was about to answer, but suddenly hesitated.

Preserving items was a feature he knew.

Although different from traditional storage spaces and unable to enlarge or shrink, the storage devices made from Void Bud Crystals had excellent sealing properties.

But what did creating small spaces mean?

He pondered for a moment, not hiding his confusion, and asked directly.

Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Luo Chen was unaware of this, but since it was already mentioned, he explained in detail.

This explanation shocked Luo Chen.

It turns out that in the Path of Body Refinement, reaching the Seventh Realm requires creating a small space within oneself, forming an inner body universe.

Thus, the Sixth Realm is called the Destruction Realm, meaning to break before establishing.

That process is extremely dangerous, barely survivable for ordinary martial artists.

However, if aided by a large quantity of Void Bud Crystals, the success rate could increase by ten to twenty percent!

Moreover, Luo Chen thought further or recalled something from memory.

Qing Shuang once created an inner space with the help of a Jikong Flower.

Of course, it wasn’t solely the Jikong Flower’s merit; Qing Shuang’s comprehension of the Spatial Law also played a part.

But being able to create an inner space at the God Transformation Realm shows what a stunning talent Qing Shuang had in the Body Refining Technique.

The Divine Beast Cyan Simurgh, truly favored by the heavens!

”Besides, there’s another saying about creating small spaces.” At this point, Gu Xun showed a perplexed expression, ”When all things return to ruins, hiding within a small space created by Void Bud Crystals might be a way to survive.”

Luo Chen was startled, ”Where did this saying come from?”

Gu Xun sighed, ”It was mentioned offhand by the Master of Wuyou Realm, but he later dismissed it as a possibility. In his view, the Void Bud Crystals are ultimately inanimate, and the constructed small spaces are unstable. Moreover, the quantity required to accommodate a martial artist’s physical body is too large to be feasible. However, in my and two other friends’ view, there’s a certain feasibility.”

Building small spaces with Void Bud Crystals to protect martial artists’ bodies and avoid the returning of all things to ruins during the cycle of epochs?

Was this also a path envisioned by the Master of Wuyou Realm?

But since he dismissed it himself, there must be shortcomings to this path.

And if there were so many Void Bud Crystals, why not use them to attempt a breakthrough to the legendary Seventh Realm!

In contemplation, Luo Chen recalled rumors about this Martial Arts Human Immortal that Xiang Fei had mentioned earlier, gradually realizing.

”I heard Friend Gu often appears in the Lower Six Rings, unlike the other two Human Immortals, is it perhaps to search for Void Bud Crystals?”

Gu Xun didn’t avoid the topic, ”You got me. Even if the Master of Wuyou Realm says this path is unviable, I still want to give it a try. The other two friends, having better talent, aim to break through realms and find their way out, naturally avoid dwelling on such challenging issues.”

Luo Chen sighed, ”That’s indeed regrettable. I was hoping to exchange some Top-grade Meridian Supplement Pills for a few Void Bud Crystals with you.”

”You actually have Top-grade Meridian Supplement Pills!” Gu Xun was astonished, then eagerly said, ”If it’s only a small amount, it’s not impossible. Besides, I also have two other types of minerals similar to Void Bud Crystals, namely Void Prism Aperture and Top-grade Profound Sky Crystal!”

”Uh...”

This time, Luo Chen was a bit bewildered.

But he quickly realized that Gu Xun wasn’t very confident in the path he pursued, so he was willing to exchange a small amount of Void Bud Crystals.

Speechless!

Luo Chen took out a Top-grade Meridian Supplement Pill.

Gu Xun didn’t fuss, taking out a Void Bud Crystal slightly larger than the one held by the masked martial artist earlier, about the thickness of a forefinger. Additionally, there were several pieces of Void Prism Aperture and Profound Sky Crystal.

Considering the inequality of the trade, Gu Xun added an extra book.

A book containing experiences and insights on cultivating in the Annihilation Nine Rings.

After the transaction, Gu Xun didn’t forget the earlier question.

Luo Chen didn’t hold back and answered directly, ”I have a Gu insect that requires feeding on Void Bud Crystals to grow.”

”Raising Gu, I don’t understand. But if it feeds on Void Bud Crystals, you might as well try feeding it with the similar Void Prism Aperture or Profound Sky Crystal, Friend. After all, Void Bud Crystals are extremely rare, I’ve been searching for years to only get a little.”

Gu Xun casually gave a suggestion.

Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

...

”Friend Luo, I look forward to seeing you in the Upper Three Rings someday.”

The trade meeting ended, Gu Xun bid farewell to Luo Chen.

This made Fang Zhibai, who came to find Luo Chen, click his tongue in admiration.

”It seems Brother Luo is indeed a gem, shining bright wherever he goes.”

Luo Chen smiled, not taking such flattery to heart.

He understood that such praise from the other party must come with a request.

Fang Zhibai rubbed his hands, ”I’m also planning to enter the Nine-layered Immortal Tower to cultivate this time, just in case, I need to prepare more healing items. Brother Luo, would you be willing to part with one of your Meridian Supplement Pills? I don’t have Void Bud Crystals, but other things...”

”Take them!”

Three Meridian Supplement Pills were handed over to Fang Zhibai.
