Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1093: Chapter 430 Original Source True Fire (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3

In these three years of refining, Luo Chen increasingly understood the nature of this fire and gradually realized why no Golden Core Cultivator from the Flame Alliance ever tried to refine it, and why nobody in the Outer World coveted it.

Refining it would devour vitality, reducing one’s lifespan.

But without refining, one could utilize the Incense Spirit Snatching Array to plunder the vitality of other living beings and merge it into this fire. Not only could it enhance the quality rank, but a part of the transformed vitality could also be used to sustain some Golden Core Cultivators with insufficient lifespans, allowing them to cling to life.

And this was the reason why the Flame Alliance could suddenly burst forth with a foundation of over a dozen Golden Core Cultivators.

Of course!

This method also had significant drawbacks.

That is, Cultivators relying on this fire to extend their lifespans couldn’t move about freely, and once they died, they would contribute all their essence to the Prosperity and Decline Fire.

Now.

Relying on his strong physique and the extreme environment of the Outer World’s Extreme Cold Ice Prison, Luo Chen forcibly refined the Prosperity and Decline Fire over three years.

Thus, he gained a strand of Original Source True Fire that belonged solely to him.

The price was that the fire devoured half of his vitality!

Within the system, the lifespan column that should have shown [57/260], now had become [57/160].

In other words, the two hundred years of lifespan he originally had left

Had been forcefully devoured by half.

A hundred years!

”I really don’t know if what Han Zhan gave me was a gift or a poison.”

”But at that time, caught in a Demonic Obstruction, I believed everything was under control and forced myself to swallow this poison.”

A complex expression hung on Luo Chen’s face.

It seemed like a mix of laughter and tears, bitter yet sweet, satisfied yet with a touch of melancholy.

Even those old actors and best actors from his previous life probably couldn’t portray such an expression.

Years of ascetic cultivation had finally improved his lifespan!

Now lost in an instant, who wouldn’t feel heartache?

If it were an ordinary Cultivator, they might have already had their Dao Heart shattered and found it difficult to accept this reality.

But Luo Chen!

His will was steadfast, and he had just overcome his Demonic Obstruction, his mind clear, not overly indulging in the pain.

He had calculated very clearly, with his current cultivation speed, even without the aid of the Third Order Spirit Land, he could complete the progress of the Foundation Establishment Stage within a hundred years.

Once he succeeded in Core Formation, breaking through the realm, his lifespan would surge again!

Furthermore!

At the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was a bit different from others.

His lifespan limit was not fixed by race.

But would slightly increase with each minor realm advancement.

It seemed as though he only had a hundred years of lifespan left, yet the eighth and ninth layers remained—two minor realms that could provide him with an additional decade or two of lifespan.

”If nothing unexpected happens, there is actually enough time.”

Luo Chen stood up, washed himself, and changed into clean, refreshed clothes.

He then gathered his scattered gray-white long hair and secured it with a Dao hairpin behind him.

After getting ready, the handsome and free-spirited Luo Chen returned once again.

Beneath his extraordinary demeanor, compared to the past days, he seemed even more composed and steady.

The gray-white long hair added a touch of vicissitude to his young face.

Combining with his deep black pupils, whoever saw him would compliment his good looks.

Luo Chen took such care in his appearance not merely out of vanity.

Rather, he knew that soon he would have visitors.

This was simply a matter of respect for others.

After tidying up his appearance, Luo Chen had an extra item in his hand.

It was a jade thumb ring.

It seemed like a thumb ring, but in reality, it was a Storage Magic Item.

And this, along with the Prosperity and Decline Fire, were the only two gains from his battle that annihilated the Flame Alliance.

The legacy of Qin Tairan.
