Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 641: Chapter 267: Turtle Spirit Armor, Lies_1

Staring at the shimmering words, Luo Chen was stunned.

His current status on the Path of Strength Realm was included in the system?

But, what did this long series of ellipsis represent?

Under his gaze, characters occasionally appeared behind the [Second Realm of Body Refinement]

[Tendon Changing] [Marrow Washing] [Organs Refinement] [Meridian Unblocking]...

At the end.

All the characters, converged like rivers flowing into the sea, forming a number.

[3/100]

Luo Chen couldn’t hold back.

”After all this time, it turned out to be a progress bar!”

He was utterly speechless.

However, when his eyes landed on the number in the progress bar, that [3] was subtly flashing as if it was about to increase at any moment.

”Does it have anything to do with the fact that my body is undergoing a slow transformation?”

Luo Chen pondered to himself.

He could feel that after reaching the second realm of body refinement, his body seemed to possess infinite potential.

There was much to be discovered about it.

He was currently just unable to find the right path.

If he could obtain a true technique, perhaps he could mine the treasures within his body one by one.

Speaking of a true technique, he did indeed have one at his disposal.

It was the ”Secret Manual of the Wang Family” given to him by Wang Yuan, which, in addition to the cultivation method of the first realm of body refinement, also contained part of the initial cultivation method of the second realm of body refinement.

Among them, it indeed mentioned [Tendon Changing] [Marrow Washing] [Organs Refinement] [Meridian Unblocking], these specific terms.

Possibly, this was also the reason why the system was consistently deliberating on the Path of Strength entries.

However.

Luo Chen’s progress on the Path of Strength had always been unmethodical.

Therefore, the system found it difficult to make a judgment, and in the end, gave him a progress bar similar to the Immortal Dao Realm.

”If I had enough time to explore these human treasures, it would be wonderful.”

”However, there’s simply not enough time!”

Shaking his head, Luo Chen chose to no longer focus on this new entry.

In the future, he would lightly discuss it with Wang Yuan and learn some common knowledge.

For now, he would rather put his efforts into swift and effective spells.

For instance, ”Turtle Spirit Armor”!

...

It was already the early morning hours.

This was the time Luo Chen had set aside for reading.

Two hours a day was not much, but it could provide significant help to his journey in the world of Immortal Cultivation.

In the absence of absolute strength, neither power nor realm could provide assured safety.

A minor contact with a poisonous plant or accidental entry into a secret realm could lead to death.

Therefore, reading widely and gaining knowledge about the world of Immortal Cultivation was always beneficial.

And this ”Turtle Spirit Armor”, was a secret technique that might save Luo Chen’s life in extreme danger.

This technique originated from an unknown rogue cultivator in the battle on the Gaoling Plains.

At that time, he feigned death on the battlefield.

Even Luo Chen’s Spirit Consciousness had been deceived by him.

This in itself showed the ingenious magic of this spell!

After reading this technique once, Luo Chen’s interest in it had never ceased.

This was a complete second-order technique!

Moreover, it was a second-order technique that could be learned in parts!

It was divided into four parts.

Turtle’s breath, Armor Cover, Evade Death, and Prolong Life.

Turtle’s Breath, as the name suggests, is the ability to breathe like a turtle and disguise one’s vital signs to near non-existent.

Armor Cover is a defensive-tecnique that forms a shield which covers the whole body, including hidden areas such as eyes and hui point, serving as a full-body protection spell.

Evade Death is slightly more profound. A cultivator can take a piece of their own flesh to evade a fatal injury, resulting in only minor damage to oneself.

Prolong Life allows a cultivator to transform their entire Spirit Qi into a breath to forcibly stay alive in a deadly situation. However, this spell can only be maintained for three days. If a life-saving solution could not be found within three days, death was still inevitable.

This entire set of techniques is magical and mysterious.

Luo Chen had always been intrigued by it and often took out the turtle shell containing this technique for research.

However, due to previous time constraints, he had not begun learning it.

Now, he finally felt like he had grasped two parts of the technique.

He felt ready to begin.

”If I can learn this technique, it could be a lifesaver in situations of inevitable danger!”

Luo Chen murmured to himself.

The rogue cultivator was able to deceive the Spirit Consciousness across realms merely by learning the Turtle’s Breath part.

This showed the miraculousness of this technique!

With Luo Chen’s talent in spells, along with abundant resources, fully mastering this second-order technique would not be difficult.

He read through the entire content once again carefully.

Before he knew it, two hours had passed.

After having some food, Luo Chen started practicing the technique.

First up was Turtle’s Breath!

A breath consists of one exhale and one inhale, the time for which, varies from person to person.

Some people breathe rapidly, taking only five to six seconds for a breath, while others breathe deeply, swallowing every ten seconds or so.

The lifespan of creatures with short lifespans, like dogs and chickens, allows them to breathe every two to three seconds.

However, this cultivation method mimics Xuan Turtle, an ancient giant turtle, which has a lifespan of 30,000 years!

It’s said that, under normal circumstances, it only breathes three times a day.

If it falls into a deep sleep, it breathes only once in three hundred years.

In this three hundred years, it remains as immovable as a mountain, looking like a dead object with no signs of life. When it breathes after three hundred years, it’s as though it’s swallowing a part of the world’s unique spectacle, incredibly shocking.

A mere second-order cultivation method, naturally, cannot reach the extent of the Xuan Turtle.
