Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 331: Chapter 164: Emperor Liquor, Blood Refinement Sword Pill (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_1

Two beast hides!

Wang Yuan was dumbstruck.

He didn’t expect that there was a hidden secret on this beast hide, which recorded the Body Refinement Method of the Third Realm.

Just a thin piece of hide!

No!

Not just him!

Even that Foundation Establishment True Cultivator probably didn’t notice it either!

”I don’t know what demon beast this hide comes from. It has a natural hiding effect and can be cut into multiple layers. I even suspect that it can be cut into one more layer.”

”No, if the technique is skillful enough, even more layers can be made.”

Luo Chen stroked the beast hide with admiration.

If it weren’t for the complete mastery of Spirit Vision Technique, which could distinguish between truth and falsehood and see through illusions, enabling him to see details even more clearly than ordinary people...

He would not have even picked up on it at all.

It was only after he had the hide in his possession that he detected a slight clue when he went over it repeatedly looking for flaws to bargain with.

Compared to him, what Wang Yuan was more concerned about was what was recorded on the inside layer of this beast hide.

”What’s written on it?”

The fact that the Third Realm Body Refinement technique was used as a cover means it must be very valuable, even though ”Sky Roc Transformation” was just an incomplete technique.

Luo Chen didn’t conceal anything and unfolded it directly in front of Wang Yuan.

”White peony, Bamboo Yellow, Blood Scorpion Powder, Purple-backed Tiansheng, Star Grass...”

Just seeing the beginning, Wang Yuan immediately understood.

”It’s a pill formula!”

Luo Chen retrieved the beast hide, with a slight smile, ”Indeed, and it looks like a complete second order pill formula. So, I didn’t hesitate to add Spirit Stones to buy it.”

He bowed his head and scanned over the name of the densely packed medicinal ingredients.

Luo Chen frowned slightly, ”However, this pill formula is quite ancient, and its effects are not fully described. Even if it’s complete, I would have to feel my way around to understand its real use.”

Hearing Luo Chen’s muttering to himself, Wang Yuan shook his head.

He didn’t have an interest in pill formulas.

He had previously acquired a complete Blood Evil Qi Pill Formula, which was also of the second order.

But so far, he hasn’t benefitted from it.

The pill formulas hold a special attraction for Pill Refiners like Luo Chen.

”You paid 3,500 for a pill formula, you’ve been swindled.”

Luo Chen didn’t mind at all, ”Where is the swindle, what if I refine it, and it’s in high demand.”

”That’s true!” Wang Yuan laughed: ”I forgot. Besides Pill Refinement, you’re also good at business.”

He shook the beast hide in his hand, ”Anyway, you share some credit for this Body Refinement Method. After I figure out some things, I’ll let you have a look.”

”Hmm.”

Luo Chen nodded, without much interest.

Currently, Qi Refinement alone is already time-consuming enough for him, without even considering Body Refinement.

He wouldn’t have made bulk purchases of Gold-Quality Jade Liquid, if not to build a powerful physique necessary for the Foundation Establishment breakthrough.

In fact, in the Immortal Cultivation World today, very few people are choosing the Magic and Body Double Cultivation.

Body Refinement provides an increment to combat capabilities that might only be useful at a low level.

At a high level, Magic Tools and Items can cover distances of dozens of miles in an instant, making it difficult for Physical Cultivators to get close.

And at the most useful low levels, they are restricted to establishing Foundation before the age of sixty.

Everyone is short on time and obviously unwilling to add to their burden.

Not to mention others.

For Wang Yuan, who stands in front of him and has successfully refined his body, initially, did indeed enjoy the benefits of Body Refinement.

His fighting prowess was impressive.

But now, the drawbacks of cultivating both magic and body have utterly revealed themselves.

The path ahead is unclear, and cultivation methods are hard to find.

While possessing the realm of the Second Realm of Body Refinement, he lacks enough combat methods that match the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Especially Magic and Body Double Cultivation, which has increased his economic burden.

He should focus on Qi Refinement and make more efforts in this regard for now.

As for Pill Refinement Technique, it’s a craft that can offer him a lot of help.

”This pill formula is really strange, it doesn’t seem to be meant for human use. Odd. Why would it...”

”Ah!”

Wang Yuan shook his head, he had seen Luo Chen in this state once before.

It was when he handed over the Blood Evil Qi Pill Formula.

He just couldn’t understand why a pill formula could be so attractive to Pill Refiners.

Without disturbing Luo Chen, Wang Yuan quietly left.

...

In the middle of the night.

Self-muttering voices came up continuously, sometimes filled with frustration.

”A hundred types of auxiliary materials, far more than the Blood Evil Qi Pill, incredibly complex.”

”The main materials are few, just one type. But this type of main material must come from the same source of a demon beast; the bone, the blood and the meat are all indispensable.”

”However, it doesn’t specify which demon beast it is? Does it mean, any second order demon beast can be used?”

”Emperor’s Liquor... According to some pill books, it’s supposed to be a legendary treasure that’s extremely beneficial to demon beasts. Why does this pill share the same name?”

”Submerge in the sea, jade fields evergreen... it even needs to be made using a water technique?”

...

After a long time, Luo Chen wearily lifted his gaze from the pill formula.

The complexity of this pill formula was far beyond the Blood Evil Qi Pill!

With its abundance of auxiliary materials, and its peculiar refinement method, even its effects and taboos weren’t entirely clear.

After pondering it all night, he didn’t make much progress.

This was rare.

When Luo Chen first acquired the Blood Evil Qi Pill Formula, he only felt it was a bit difficult, but not impossible to practice.

The main issue that hindered Luo Chen from refining the Blood Evil Qi Pill was the lack of three main materials!

If he had enough main materials, Luo Chen would have been reasonably confident that, given his current progress in learning the Blood Evil Qi Pill Formula, he could master it in over a thousand failures.

A thousand failures!

It sounds like a lot, but right now, Luo Chen is the only one who could make such a claim.

If a common First Order Pill Refiner were given ten thousand chances, it would still be hard to guarantee a single success.
