Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 332: Chapter 164: Emperor Liquor, Blood Refinement Sword Pill (Seeking monthly pass) _2

The threshold to becoming a pill refiner is incredibly high!

By now, Luo Chen has practically filled in the gaps in his foundation of the Dao of Alchemy and has tried his hand at refining three or four types of elixirs, many of which turned out to be of the Ascendant grade.

It can be said that even among First Order pill refiners, he was at the very top!

However, this pill formula named ”Emperor Liquor” gave him a feeling of not knowing where to start.

The main ingredient was indeed simple, requiring only the homogenous bone, blood, and meat of a Second Order demon beast.

It was actually not hard to acquire this.

During the black market auction last night, Second Order demon beast corpses appeared both in the middle and at the end of the event.

After all, this place is close to the Million Mountains, where there is no shortage of demon beasts.

Some Foundation Establishment Stage Rogue Cultivators, who did not want to be bound by rules or entangled in personal relationships, often made a living by hunting and killing monsters, or by finding treasures from their adventures.

For them, if they were cautious and made adequate preparations, killing a solitary Second Order demon beast was not a difficult task.

The problem was, the simple main ingredient didn’t specify which type was needed!

This led to Luo Chen being unable to conduct targeted research.

Another point was the Water Method Pill Refinement.

Up until now, Luo Chen had been using the Fire Type method to refine pills, and the pills he yielded were mostly in paste or solid form.

The Water Method was actually simpler than the Fire Method, but he had no experience. Even though there were one or two Water Method Pill Refinement techniques in ”Qingyuan Pill Explanation”, he had never tested them.

Also, the rank was quite low, and it might not be suitable for refining Second Order pills.

This too was a problem.

”This pill formula was sewed together with that Sky Roc Transformation, it must also be a matching elixir, right?”

Luo Chen made such a guess.

He shook his head in the end, deciding not to delve too deep into these things.

He would keep these for now, researching a little whenever he had free time, and maybe after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would have a better understanding of them.

If he found them to be very beneficial to him, he might consider entering with the System’s help.

However, doing this, he now had suddenly three Second-Order Pill Formulas stockpiled in his hands.

Complete Blood Evil Qi Pills, complete Emperor Liquor, and incomplete Jade Dew Pills.

”For a First Order pill refiner like me, how do I deserve to own three Second Order pill formulas during the Qi Refinement Stage!”

Making a self-mocking remark, Luo Chen stored the beast skin and took out one thing from his Storage Bag.

Sword Pill!

Although it was called a ”pill”, it was not small in size, about the size of a baby’s fist.

He didn’t know if the cultivators of the Yu Ding Sword Sect would feel uncomfortable with their throats each time they swallowed and spat this out.

Only after a careful inspection did Luo Chen realize that this Sword Pill’s construction was so peculiar.

The exterior was not smooth.

Instead, it was full of all sorts of thread-like patterns, as if it was woven from strands of gold thread.

”Perhaps it is because of this construction that it can transform into myriad forms in the hands of a Sword Cultivator!”

With a sigh, Luo Chen bit his finger.

Then he mobilized his abundant spirit power, rushing it towards his finger.

Drip!

A drop of crystal-clear blood, spreading a fragrance of grass and trees, was squeezed out of his finger.

Luo Chen let out a muffled grunt, his face turned a bit pale, but it quickly returned to normal.

That was a cultivator’s Essence Blood!

It contained the Original Source of a cultivator’s physique and spirit power.

Theoretically speaking, no matter what realm a cultivator is in, as long as it doesn’t harm themselves, they can only squeeze out ten drops of Essence Blood.

After the blood is squeezed out, with a period of cultivation and replenishment, it could slowly be restored.

But if they exceed ten drops, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Generally speaking, unless a cultivator wants to use some special methods, they don’t mobilize their own Essence Blood.

It’s too damaging to the Original Source.

But Luo Chen now had no choice but to do this.

To use this Sword Pill, he could either nourish it with his spirit power and spirit consciousness over a long period of time, and then he might be able to command it like his own arm.

Or, he could use another special method.

”Blood Refinement!”

The reason Bai Qi, who fought against Qin Liangchen on the Dao Debate Platform, was able to use the Sword Pill during the Qi Refinement Stage was because of the Blood Refinement method.

Most cultivators knew this method.

What Luo Chen was using now was the Blood Refinement method that Wang Yuan got from the Blood Cultivator, Xiao Wuyan.

Compared to the ordinary Crude Blood Refinement, Xiao Wuyan’s method was even more brutal.

As long as the Blood Refinement was successful, he could use it immediately.

”The situation in The Great River District is very unpredictable. I must increase my power. This Sword Pill, as a Magic Item Embryo, even if the rank cannot be increased, it is comparable to a Top Grade Magic Tool.”

”I must master it as soon as possible!”

Without hesitation, that drop of crystal-clear blood fell onto the Golden Sword Pill.

Then, Luo Chen continued to send waves of spirit power.

Originally, the Sword Pill and Essence Blood were not compatible, but under Luo Chen’s promotion of spirit power, the Essence Blood gradually seeped into the depths of the Sword Pill.

He worked in this manner until dawn before finally taking a break.

With a wave of his hand, the Sword Pill, glowing with an eerie blood color, came to his hand.

”With this, it should be successful!”

He could feel that there was a subtle connection between himself and the Sword Pill.

It wasn’t the regular spirit power connection between a common magic tool and a cultivator.

Instead, it was a wonderful connection where with a mere thought, he could quickly command the Sword Pill to perform actions.

”Open!”

The palm of his hand opened, and the Sword Pill released a bright spirit light, with rays of sword light radiating outwards.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Chen was surrounded by a sea of gold light.

Looking closely, it was like a blooming flower.

Except that this flower was filled with a chilling killing intent.

”Go!”

The sword light receded, aiming straight for the ground.

Whoosh!

Just like a knife slicing through tofu, the Sword Pill penetrated deep into the ground.

When he called it back again, Luo Chen could not help but have a satisfied smile on his face.

”No wonder Sword Cultivators are so overbearing!”

”Now that I have only just grasped the basics, yet I possess such speed and power.”

”It’s hard to imagine how powerful this Sword Pill would be in the hands of Luo Tianhong, or Pang Renxiong.”
