Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1092: Chapter 430 Original Source True Fire (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_2

Looking back at this course of action, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel parched and tongue-tied.

A flash of enlightenment surfaced in his mind.

”It must be a Demonic Obstruction!”

Within the path of cultivation, there existed a tribulation known as the ”Heart Demon.”

This tribulation was invisible and intangible, yet countless cultivators had perished under it over the millennia.

No one could clearly define what exactly a Heart Demon was.

However, over such long periods, some patterns had been summarized.

Obsession, demonic obstructions, being lost, confusion, hardship...

Many negative emotions would linger over one’s Dao Heart, imperceptibly causing one to suffer the ”Heart Demon Tribulation.”

On this occasion, Luo Chen had fallen into a demonic obstruction.

Due to the rapid speed of his cultivation and the smooth journey he had experienced until he was blocked at his doorstep by Qin Tairan, which led to suppressed grievances and hatred, he unknowingly succumbed to the demonic obstruction.

Especially the second time he cultivated in the Weak 3rd Order Spiritual Land.

As his realm continuously improved, the desire for revenge grew stronger.

Ultimately, it prompted him to take that step.

Fortunately, he succeeded and faced no mishaps along the way.

Otherwise, even with ten thousand lives, he would have perished within the Burning Incense Valley.

That Qin Tairan was not someone so easily provoked.

At that time, he was able to take on two opponents without falling behind.

To kill him, he forced himself to endure two moves from a cultivator of the same stage and was seriously injured.

Later, he also endured a strike from the Lei Xian Bead and was nearly killed.

Even under those circumstances, Luo Chen almost failed to defeat him.

Thinking back on the perilous situations, he felt his heart pound with fear once again.

”Moreover, my risks this time were far more than just these,” he thought.

Luo Chen stroked his gray hair, his face showing a bitter expression.

Tian Xingzi had brought a lot of information back then! A lot!

From the small details like the number of Flame Alliance cultivators, to the large scope of arrays and Earth Vein overviews, and so on.

Depending on this information, he could bravely attack the sect.

Among these pieces of information, there was one in particular that was very special!

It originated from the Supreme of Luo Yun Sect—True Master Han Zhan!

The other party seemed convinced that it was he who had saved his grandson, Han Zheng.

Therefore, he gave a special report not in exchange for the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade, but to repay him for saving Han Zheng’s life.

This piece of information was precisely related to the Prosperity and Decline Mysterious Fire, which had been nurtured by the Flame Alliance for three hundred years.

True Master Han Zhan stated openly that the Prosperity and Decline Mysterious Fire, after three hundred years of cultivation by the Flame Alliance, had already reached the Third-Order Stage.

Only an existence with a physique also at the Third Order could forcibly absorb it.

Luo Chen just happened to meet this condition.

Moreover, as a Pill Refiner, he naturally desired to possess his own Original Source True Fire, a proper ”True Fire!”

It must be said, the gift from True Master Han Zhan was exactly what Luo Chen yearned for.

Therefore, he immediately began to arrange plans for this fire.

Min Longyu, who was not originally included in the plan to attack the Flame Alliance, was specifically called over by him.

It was to allow him to enter the Burning Incense Valley amidst the chaos, using his ability with arrays to locate the Prosperity and Decline Fire.

Guided by the intelligence, Min Longyu indeed found it and had set up the corresponding array in advance.

Luo Chen was thus able to head towards the earth cave in the midst of battle.

How to absorb the fire into his body was not particularly difficult for Luo Chen.

Because many years ago.

For the sake of pill refinement, he had specifically studied this aspect of secret techniques.

It was merely about controlling fire, melting fire, absorbing fire, and transforming fire in four stages.

He perfected the controlling fire stage with the Play Flame Technique.

Then using the Duan Family’s Fire Fusion Secret Technique and a technique for unified fire control, he mastered the melting fire stage and gradually perfected it over many years of pill refinement.

He had also explored various things related to absorbing fire.

Whether it was the ”Flaming Sun True Scripture” from Huo Hu’s legacy or a Second Order Fire Element Technique ”Green Sun Mantra” he obtained.

Both contained respective secret techniques for harboring Sourceless Fire inside the body to achieve Original Source True Fire.

Yet, although Sourceless Fire is not uncommon, it is not something ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivators can touch casually.

The Flame Alliance disciples also mostly harbored only a small amount of Prosperity and Decline Fire within themselves, then separately nurtured it with their original spirit power.

And there weren’t many who did this.

It really affected their cultivation progress.

For Flame Alliance Golden Core Cultivators, compared to the enhancement in combat ability from absorbing Prosperity and Decline Fire, it was far quicker to use this fire to massively forge magic tools and gather wealth resources.

After all, this sourceless fire belonged to the Flame Alliance, not to any individual person.

Therefore, this mysterious fire had been preserved.

In the end, the advantage went to Luo Chen.

”How is that a bargain!” Luo Chen sighed deeply.

He never expected that after being harbored in his body, the fire was not at the Third Order at all!

But was just entering the Fourth Order.

Additionally, it was clearly in that odd stage of just entering the Fourth Order, not yet stabilized, and intelligence hadn’t even begun to emerge.

Thinking back now.

The ease with which Fei Ming broke the Fire Burning Array must have been related to the transformation of this inherited mysterious fire.

At that time, someone must have used the Fire Burning Array to facilitate the progression of the Prosperity and Decline Fire.

Just like how, years ago, Min Longyu used the Nine Turns Flame Dragon Array to help Luo Chen refine the Xuanhuo Sword.

The Fourth Stage Prosperity and Decline Fire, though it had not yet developed intelligence, also had strict conditions for recognizing a master.

First, as initially stated by Han Zhan, a strong physique was required.

Only a sufficiently robust body could bear the Sourceless Fire and transform it into Original Source True Fire.

Second!

It was the inherent characteristic of the Prosperity and Decline Fire, one withering, one flourishing.

To utilize this fire to reach prosperity, it was necessary to supply it with corresponding vitality.

And those from whom vitality was extracted would naturally plunge into the ”withering” aspect.

These were the conditions for advancement.

If not advanced, it would remain uncontrolled, only extracting more.
