Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.

All he desired was just a single one, and he didn’t have anything to trade; he simply wanted to maintain goodwill and exchange with other things.

”The stone box you gave me last time is enough to cover three Pulse Supplement Pills. I’m not someone who forgets kindness.”

Fang Zhibai was delighted, ”Thank you Brother Luo, whenever you need anything, I will certainly assist you with all my might.”

Luo Chen took advantage of the situation: ”Earlier when I saw the teleportation formation in your family arranged with numerous Void Prism Apertures, it seems that your clan has plenty of this material. If we could make a trade for some, I’d be greatly obliged. However, I won’t ask for a free gift; I can exchange it with other low-level martial artist pill recipes.”

Fang Zhibai’s eyes lit up.

”Before entering the tower, I will surely please Brother Luo!”

After a brief exchange, Fang Zhibai hurriedly left.

Behind him, there were more people eager to engage with Luo Chen.

Clearly, they were after the Pulse Supplement Pill.

However, Luo Chen only clasped his hands together, politely declining their goodwill.

Without Void Bud Crystal, talking more would be fruitless.

With Xiang Fei by his side, Luo Chen returned to the residence in Leaping Dragon Alley.

After arriving home, he took out the traded items and simultaneously retrieved the Vacuum Gu.

He was indeed intrigued by Gu Xun’s proposition.

First was the Top-grade Profound Sky Crystal!

This item was not unfamiliar; in the Mountain Sea Realm, whenever refining a magic item, Luo Chen mostly incorporated this.

Legend has it, Tongxuan Sky Crystal are fragments formed at the creation of the world barrier.

Thus, it has strong compatibility with most materials.

Unfortunately, the Vacuum Gu merely sniffed this Top-grade Profound Sky Crystal and did not react further.

Next was the Void Prism Aperture.

Luo Chen had plenty of experience dealing with this mineral.

It’s essential for arranging Teleportation Formation, supposedly originating deep within the Earth’s crust.

Faced with the Void Prism Aperture, the Vacuum Gu did show some movement. It secreted some liquid from its toothless mouth to begin corroding and devouring the Void Prism Aperture.

Yet with merely one or two, the Vacuum Gu quickly grew impatient, wriggled its body, and avoided the Void Prism Aperture.

This outcome left Luo Chen both astonished and pleased.

Pleasure came from the Vacuum Gu actually consuming the Void Prism Aperture, astonishment came from its apparent aversion.

”Maybe it has overeaten it before?”

Luo Chen could roughly guess some clues.

The Southern Border Luo Sect in the Mountain Sea Realm, lacking the special material Void Bud Crystal and unwilling to see the Vacuum Gu trapped in Fourth Order, had experimented with feeding it other similar items.

Void Prism Aperture was relatively easier to find.

However, overeating has made the Vacuum Gu grow tired of them.

”I’ll alternate them; I don’t have much Void Bud Crystal, and I can’t let this little guy starve.”

Luo Chen chuckled. He put all the Void Bud Crystals and Void Prism Apertures into a fabric bag, tossing the Vacuum Gu inside too.

Once it finishes the Void Bud Crystals and gets hungry, it would surely eat the Void Prism Apertures.

In the days to follow, although Wuyou City occasionally held trade fairs, Luo Chen mostly abstained from participating.

His reputation was already established, and everyone knew his address.

Anyone possessing Void Bud Crystal would naturally approach him.

In that way, others could also avoid struggles and raids.

Unfortunately, even though there were periodic attempts to visit him, until half a year later, approaching the time to enter the Nine-layered Immortal Tower, not a single Void Bud Crystal had been delivered.

This left Luo Chen quite frustrated.

Despite holding miraculous elixirs, being unable to exchange them for desired items was a rare occurrence in his centuries-long career as a Pill Refiner.

...

In front of the teleportation formation, Luo Chen completed a trade with Fang Zhibai.

What he offered were several low-level pill recipes.

These were simple formulas he came up with during his research on world-specific herbs back in Yixian City.

The panel showed feasibility, and the pill recipes sold at Renji Hall had good feedback from low-level martial artists.

Fang Zhibai’s return was a large amount of Void Prism Apertures, enough to feed the Vacuum Gu for a while.

After handing the medicine recipes over to his clan members to bring back, Fang Zhibai breathed a sigh of relief.

”Brother Luo, after you!”

”Together!”

Luo Chen, accompanied by Xiang Fei, stepped onto the teleportation formation, along with other martial artists.

After exiting the formation, without waiting for the others still stabilizing from the teleportation.

Luo Chen had already left the stone house, his gaze fixed upon the towering Immortal Tower that seemingly reached the clouds and sky.

Since creating the God Demon Formless, it has been thirteen years, and he completed the split of his Main Soul.

Now each acupoint contains a relatively weak Soul Splitting!

As many as seven hundred and twenty Soul Splittings!

Even if Han Zhan, who cultivated Soul Cleaving Technique, were resurrected again, learning of Luo Chen’s actions, would exclaim madness.

Nonetheless, Luo Chen was not satisfied.

The energy from the Outer World was insufficient, consumption and conversion were too slow; he needed a more abundant energy source to fill the acupoints and develop Martial Arts Divine Spirit!

Nine-layered Immortal Tower, Annihilation Nine Rings.

Luo Chen, with anticipation, awaited them!
