Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1049: Chapter 416: Breaking Free from Solid Enclosure, Boosting Blood and Lowering Chen, Xiao Hu Returns Home, Han Zheng Pays Respect to the Mountain_3

”It seems, with the four Core Formation Secret Arts I have, ’Bead Curtain Lock’ is being tested by Chu Kui, and I can also gather the required Dragon Transformation Pills for ’Dragon Phoenix Tribulation’ through Qingdan Valley, coupled with my deepen understanding of ’Enclosure Getaway’.”

”As for Core Formation preparation, I should consider myself ahead of most Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!”

Three of the secret techniques were in the stages of being perfected or experimentally prepared.

There were still at least several decades before reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Once the realm is perfected, the experimental work on these secret arts should also be almost complete.

At that time, Luo Chen would be able to choose the most suitable secret art without any obstacles and seamlessly break through to the Golden Core Period!

Planning ahead has always been a habit of Luo Chen’s.

It was the same when he established his foundation.

When he was at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refinement, he had already contacted Tian Xingzi in advance for Foundation Establishment Pills, and he even prepared Emperor Liquor as a backup plan.

Now, making the jump to Core Formation is even more important and dangerous.

The preparations he had made were naturally even more thorough.

And these were still just the big plans.

He was also making smaller calculations from time to time.

...

Two months later.

Inside the pill room.

Luo Chen looked at the pill in his hand that resembled a red agate, his face showing a look of excitement!

The Increase Blood Pill was a success!

He had been cultivating in Hao Ranzi’s immortal mansion for the past two years.

The weak Third Order Spiritual Land had accelerated his cultivation progress by leaps and bounds.

The Eighth-Level Foundation Establishment was now within reach!

However, in the face of this pleasing progress, there was also a hidden worry.

That was, once Hao Ranzi returned, he would undoubtedly no longer be able to use this Third Order Cave Mansion.

In that case, he would have to return to his previous Second Order Ascendant Grade Cave Mansion.

If it were just this, it would have been fine!

In a Second Order mansion, in combination with elixirs, his cultivation speed would also be extremely significant.

He could endure for more than a hundred years until reaching Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization.

But the problem was that he had hit a bottleneck with the elixirs.

The Ascendant Grade Dragon Rise Pill had become ineffective due to drug tolerance and was now useless for him!

The Ascendant Grade Dragon Rise Pills regularly brought over from Tao Wen were being sold by him at cost price to members of the Luo Tian Creed, like Chu Kui and Min Longyu.

Under these circumstances.

Once Luo Chen left the Third Order Cave Mansion, his cultivation speed would plummet, not only failing to reach his original speed but also possibly falling to less than half!

This meant that instead of needing over a hundred years for Foundation Establishment Finalization, it might take twice as long—more than two hundred years.

Naturally, Luo Chen couldn’t accept such a situation.

So, he had been constantly trying to find a new elixir that could replace the Ascendant Grade Dragon Rise Pill—a Second Order Pill.

In terms of pill formulas, he had indeed collected quite a few over the years.

Especially among the spoils gathered from the battlefield at Accumulation Thunder Mountain, he also found some miscellaneous pill formulas.

First to Third Order, incomplete, complete, atypical, orthodox.

A hodgepodge, without any systematic organization.

After Luo Chen’s continuous screening and research, he finally found a set of pills that seemed most suitable for him.

Considering the effects, ease of refining, convenience of material procurement, and cost-performance ratio, it was the best set of pills overall!

Yes, not just one kind, but a complete set.

”Dustfall Pill!”

”Originating from the Pill Refinement Competition at Qingdan Valley, it was a new pill formula provided by the Tai Dan Court. Very easy to refine, low cost, and the materials needed were also easy to collect. The only downside was that it takes the route of going back to the roots and spirit refinement qi transformation.”

”With my Primordial Third Order Body, I have sufficient essence qi from flesh and blood to push me to the level of Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization.”

Of course, doing such self-destructive things would only be done by fools.

Luo Chen would never destroy the Primordial Third Order Body that he had cultivated risking his life multiple times.

This was one of his biggest assets!

But he had another way to supplement the essence qi of flesh and blood.

Increase Blood Pill!

This pill formula came from a minor pill refining power, the Dan Yuan Sect.

The sect master, Dan Yuanzi, became known as a Second Order Pill Refiner in Tian Lan Immortal City by refining this Second Order Pill.

However, after earning the name of a Second Order Pill Refiner, he scarcely ever refined the Increase Blood Pill again.

The reason was simple.

The main ingredient required to refine this pill was too sensitive.

Blood from Second Order Demon Beast leeches, Rainbow Wood Tree Sap, and... Cultivator’s Essence Blood!

When Luo Chen first got this pill formula, he judged it.

”Similar to a Blood Evil Qi Pill from the Path of Demon!”

Any pill formula involving the blood of human cultivators as a material can be considered unorthodox and evil.

If it were the past, Luo Chen certainly wouldn’t have considered using this formula.

But now, he had a large stockpile of cultivator’s essence blood in his hands.

Furthermore, it was the shocking blood essence of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!

Disregarding whether using it would be unethical or lead to a fall into the Path of Demon.

Just leaving it unused would be a waste of heavenly gifts.

In Luo Chen’s mind, there was naturally no profound concept of the distinction between the Righteous and the Demonic.

As he saw it, as long as it didn’t bring about fatal calamities, all resources were only categorized as useful or useless.

Given that, with the pill formula in hand and the main ingredient available, why not use it?

The Increase Blood Pill, as its name implies, can significantly boost a cultivator’s vitality.

”First, I will take the Increase Blood Pill to boost my vitality. Then I will take the Dustfall Pill to undergo Spirit Refinement Qi Transformation, converting it into Spirit Power.”

”Although it is a bit more troublesome, isn’t it also an elixir for advancing one’s cultivation level?”

”And these two types of pills may be ordinary in effect, but under my personal refining, their Quality Rank will surely reach Ascendant Grade, or even Top Grade levels.”

”Top Grade Pills!”

”The potency won’t be poor and surpassing the effects of the Ascendant Grade Dragon Rise Pill is also not impossible, after all, it’s the combined power of two pills!”
