Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1101: Chapter 435 Wood Burning True Technique, Cultivating Wood and Fire Together (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Luo Chen, who had returned to the Luo Tian Creed, kept a low profile.

Even if he didn’t stay completely secluded, he barely ventured outside.

But beyond his unassuming movements, his days were extraordinarily busy.

Pill refinement, pill refinement, and more pill refinement.

Three years of healing in the Ice Castle meant a three-year halt in the supply of Jade Dew Pills.

Now that business in the Luo Tian Creed had picked up and there was no need to support any Golden Core Cultivators, the annual surplus of Spirit Stones was substantial.

Even if Luo Chen did nothing, he could still count on an income of two to three hundred thousand Spirit Stones each year.

And this was after deducting the increasingly hefty monthly salaries for the Luo Tian Creed’s Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

It’s clear that after so many years of absorbing and annihilating many big and small forces, the Luo Tian Creed had embarked on a healthy path of development.

Therefore, the business of Jade Dew Pills was about more than just earning Spirit Stones.

Or rather, the deal with Ice Castle for the pill was never about making money in the first place.

After a three-year hiatus, the folks at Ice Castle were becoming impatient.

That’s also why after Luo Chen proactively suggested returning to Tianlan, Ascendant Master Cang Long didn’t try to retain him.

Besides the Jade Dew Pill.

The demand for Chu Kui’s Tongyou Pills was also high.

Using Hao Ranzi’s Third Order Cave Mansion, he accelerated his cultivation for over two years.

Now, he was getting closer and closer to reaching Finalization in the Foundation Establishment Stage—meaning the day of Core Formation was drawing nearer.

In this case, the cultivation of ”Bead Curtain Lock” had to be genuinely scheduled.

His Divine Soul Endowment was mediocre.

Hence, he especially needed the assistance of Tongyou Pills to increase his Divine Soul Endowment.

As for the Increase Blood Pill and the Dustfall Pill, they were the cultivation elixirs that Luo Chen used in place of the Ascendant Grade Dragon Rise Pill.

The latter, sourced from the Tai Dan Court of Qingdan Valley, was easy to refine and had a very singular effect—Spirit Refinement Qi Transformation.

The former had already been mastered by Luo Chen, and even before the attack on the Flame Alliance, he had perfected his proficiency to Perfection Level.

It was precisely with this pill that Wang Yuan significantly boosted his blood and Qi, quickly reaching the finalization stage of Qi mastery in a short time.

Regarding the functions, effects, and contraindications of the Increase Blood Pill.

Wang Yuan also provided Luo Chen with the most authentic feedback.

This gave Luo Chen high expectations for the future of the Increase Blood Pill.

The bustling work of pill refinement allowed Luo Chen’s Pill Refinement Technique to advance continuously.

Similarly.

Qu Lingjun, who came to observe and receive guidance every month, also benefited immensely.

”Today, we are going to refine the Dustfall Pill.”

Within the Yi Seventeenth Cave Mansion.

Luo Chen looked at Bai Meiling, who had arranged a large amount of medicinal ingredients from the Luo Tian Creed in Luo Chen’s most familiar and conveniently accessible place.

Then he turned to Qu Lingjun at his side and began to explain the critical points of the Dustfall Pill’s refinement.

Upon hearing the name ’Dustfall Pill’, Qu Lingjun felt a surge of excitement.

”Is it that Second Order Pill that made Master’s name famous during the Qingdan Valley Seed Cultivator Battle?”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”Indeed, it is that pill.”

”I can imagine it must be extraordinary!” Qu Lingjun said curiously.

However, Luo Chen shook his head.

”You’re mistaken. For us low-rank Pill Refiners, high-difficulty pill formulas aren’t really suitable for competition. In my view, the Dustfall Pill is even easier to make than some First Order Pills.”

Qu Lingjun was taken aback.

Luo Chen smiled and explained earnestly, ”Do not dismiss its usefulness just because it’s simple. The effect of a pill does not lie in its difficulty or rank but its applicability to certain people and timing. For example, as wonderful as Fourth Order Pills are, they are not something Qi Refining Foundation Building Cultivators like us can take...”

After the explanation, an enlightenment dawned on Qu Lingjun.

It turned out that his blind pursuit of high difficulty and high rank was a detour!

Watching his disciple in deep thought, Luo Chen felt somewhat emotional.

More than twenty years had passed. With an adequate theoretical foundation, guidance from many predecessors, and most importantly, extensive practical operation, Qu Lingjun’s pillar technique had made a sudden leap to a temporary height.

He could now easily get started with ordinary First Order Pills.

All of the commonly produced pills of Luo Tian Creed, such as the Jade Marrow Pill, the Allure Pill, the Origin Nourishing Pill, and the Spirit Feeding Pill, had been mastered by Qu Lingjun.

And among the four, he had already managed to consistently refine three to Ascendant Grade level.

Such talent was truly astonishing!

In this situation.

Luo Chen planned to guide him towards Second Order Pills.

But instead of making him refine the most difficult ones like the Jade Dew Pill, Emperor Liquor, Increase Blood Pill, and so on right away.

Even the Tongyou Pill, which seemed like a First Order, was actually quite challenging to refine.

Therefore, the Dustfall Pill, a Second Order Pill Formula with a very low level of difficulty, became the best choice for beginners.

”Watch carefully now!”

Luo Chen exclaimed, drawing Qu Lingjun’s full focus instantly.

Under Qu Lingjun’s gaze, Luo Chen gestured with one hand as a wisp of cyan flame sprang forth, landing beneath the broken Official’s Cauldron.

Boom!

The seemingly light flame instantly expanded, turning into a roaring inferno.

Qu Lingjun’s eyelids twitched.

This was not his first time seeing this cyan flame!

It was neither Earth Fire nor the Foundation Establishment True Flame of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Instead, it was the rarely seen Original Source True Fire!

What is Original Source True Fire?

There are Strange Fires in the world, coming and going without a trace, as if sourceless and rootless, referred to by the world as Sourceless Fire.

Without fuel or wood, it can burn for hundreds of years without extinguishing.

This is the Sourceless Fire!

And such Strange Fires, once refined by a cultivator, gain a source. Even a small Fire Seed, stimulated by Spirit Power, can turn into a sky-consuming blaze.
