Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1144: Chapter 448: Nascent Soul Conflict, Withering and Flourishing Secrets, Revisiting Old Places, Reencountering Old Friends_3

Another was Hao Ranzi, with whom I had merely a brief acquaintance.

It’s just a pity that I was in too poor a state at the time and not strong enough, otherwise, I would have definitely lent a hand and offered some meager support.

Withdrawing my thoughts.

My gaze fell on the First Order Demon Rabbit that Bai Meiling was holding; its fur was glossy and shiny, and its nostrils were bright red.

It was obviously still alive, just in a coma.

Suddenly, a thought struck me.

”Give it to me!”

Bai Meiling skillfully handed it over, casually asking, ”Master, are you going to cultivate the Divine Intimidation Technique?”

In the past at the Immortal Mansion, she had also fed Demon Beasts for Luo Chen, and occasionally he would use Lower Order Demon Beasts to cultivate Divine Soul Secret Arts.

At this moment, she thought Luo Chen was going to do the same thing again.

However!

What she didn’t know was that Luo Chen’s mastery of the Divine Intimidation Technique had already reached Perfection.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to instantly kill Rogue Cultivator Xiao and intimidate You Sha and He Lianyun during the underground cave fight.

Grabbing the comatose Demon Rabbit by the ear, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

With a flick of his right hand, a wisp of cyan fire, like that from a lighter, emerged slowly from his long fingertips.

In my mind, it was as if I had returned to that fight in the cave, holding Rogue Cultivator Xiao’s head aloft, high in midair, looking down upon You Sha and the others.

At that time, I had used Original Source True Fire to incinerate Rogue Cultivator Xiao’s head.

An aberration had occurred in me at that time.

But because of the special circumstances, I had not had the time to seek the cause and effect.

Now, what I wanted to do was to try to recreate that anomaly.

”If it works on humans, it should work on Demon Beasts too, right?”

I pursed my lips as Prosperity and Decline True Fire slowly enveloped the Demon Rabbit.

Feeling the scorching heat, the Demon Rabbit woke up in a flash.

A shrill cry came from the rabbit’s mouth.

Seeing this, Bai Meiling’s expression changed slightly, revealing a look of fear.

”Maintain the Array well and don’t let the noise get out.”

I spoke calmly with a simple command and continued to burn the Demon Rabbit slowly.

Gradually, a mysterious power began to converge toward me.

After a while!

I brushed away the ashes and revealed a contemplative expression.

”Is that... vitality?”

I could feel that the Prosperity and Decline Fire inside me, which had been refined into Original Source True Fire, seemed to have absorbed a unique power after burning a living being.

And this wisp of flame also seemed to have grown significantly.

As it grew, it also imparted a trace of that power onto me.

Nurtured by this power, some of the injuries on my body also began to heal at a visibly faster rate.

”Perhaps, this is the true marvelous use of Prosperity and Decline Fire?”

In my doubt, I beckoned to Bai Meiling.

”Are there any other Low Rank Demon Beasts that accidentally wandered into the maze array?”

Bai Meiling’s body trembled as she nodded quickly.

”There are a few more!”

”Give them all to me!”

The second Demon Beast was a Skylark.

Like before, I used Spirit Power to activate the Original Source True Fire, slowly burning it while releasing my Spirit Consciousness and keeping my Spirit Vision wide open, trying to observe and capture the appearance of that power.

One, two.

Three, four...

Eventually, after having refined all the Lower Order Demon Beasts and wild beasts that had wandered into the maze during this period.

I confirmed that power!

It wasn’t clear if it had any offensive capabilities, but that power could indeed strengthen Prosperity and Decline Fire.

At the same time, the trickle of vitality that was shared out was absorbed by my body.

My injuries were visibly healing.

”Prosperity and Decline! For every wither, there must be a flourish, refining the vitality of others for oneself.”

”So malevolent, yet so wondrous!”

My eyes shimmered with an indescribable light, as if my gaze could pierce through the simple cave and look out towards the vast expanse of Million Mountains.

It took me a long time to suppress the impulse in my heart.

”Too reckless!”

”Given my current state, it’s better to play it safe.”

”I should leave the Ancient Plains Mountain Range first!”

”On the way, I can look for opportunities to refine some Low Rank Demon Beasts, but I still need to keep a low profile.”

I didn’t plan to fully heal my injuries in the mountains.

First, the environment was not suitable; second, he did not have enough materials on him for large-scale pill refinement.

His spirit power was strong and far surpassed those of the same order.

But similarly, because the spirit power was too strong, it also took longer to recover.

Wondering how long it would take to recover to his peak state without the help of elixirs and high-grade spirit lands, he had no idea.

During the Qi Refinement Stage, due to the automatic Qi recovering effect brought about by the Proficiency advancement of the Longevity Technique, the effect was no longer as significant now.

Once he made up his mind, Luo Chen no longer hesitated.

He let Bai Meiling enter the Soul Nurturing Banner, put away the array setting tools, and after Luo Chen applied the Concealing Breath Mantra to conceal his entire aura, he calmly stepped into the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.

...

The Ancient Plains Mountain Range!

Returning to the old place, Luo Chen did not have too many emotions.

During his days in The Great River District, he rarely ventured into the great mountain like those Demonic Beast Hunters.

Back then, his realm was too low, and he had few techniques at his disposal.

He could barely use the Fireball Technique competently.

With such skills, trying to enter the mountains to hunt and kill demon beasts for a living was indeed too dangerous.

Especially after he mastered the Pill Refinement Technique and joined the Broken Mountain Gang, there was even less necessity for such risks.

Even for the much talked about Ghost God Valley’s Supreme Golden Core Ruins, he suppressed the greed in his heart and did not get involved.

On the contrary, he would occasionally visit Changyin Mountain in the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.

”The weaker the strength, the more cautious and timid one is.”

”The stronger the strength, the more murderous intent arises, and I have become bolder.”

Looking back on the battles after Foundation Establishment, Luo Chen was filled with emotions.

Actually, some battles were unnecessary.

And some fights, he perhaps could have handled better.

In such moments of reflection and emotion, Luo Chen’s steps out of the mountain became faster and faster.

The reason for the increased speed was firstly because he was more familiar with the Ancient Plains Mountain Range. Even if he had not personally ventured there, he had seen a large number of maps left from the Broken Mountain Gang era.

The other reason was that he occasionally used the Prosperity and Decline Fire, refining the First Order demon beasts he caught.

Drawing on the life force of the demon beasts, his physical recovery strength became stronger and stronger.

The faster his body recovered, the more his strength naturally continued to recover.

His speed, naturally, also went from the initial cautious and slow stealth to a rapid advance.

Two months later.

Luo Chen stopped at a fork in the road.

In fact, he had entered the Ancient Plains Mountain Range once during the Qi Refinement Stage.

At that time, it was Miao Wen who had personally taken him there.

It was also that time when he found the remnants of the Mi Family, all of whom were killed by Miao Wen. Except for Mi Li, none of the family survived.

Luo Chen looked up at a tall mountain.

It was a thousand meters high, yet there were few clouds around it.

This mountain was called Absolute Cloud Mountain!

There were many demon beasts within it, and not a few were Second Order demon beasts.

It was an existence that the Demonic Beast Hunters from The Great River District dared not venture into often.

With Luo Chen’s current strength, he naturally dared to explore it.

The reason he paused was because of this mountain.

”That miniature Yuan Magnetic Valley must be in there!”

Luo Chen sighed.

Now, in his Accumulated Thunder Treasured Ring, there lay a puppet, quietly resting.

It was a puppet made from the corpse of Mi Shuhua.

”Since I’m here, I might as well let Ol Mi be laid to rest and reunite with his family!”

Motivated by this thought, Luo Chen leapt into the mountain.

While flying, he released his Spirit Consciousness.

With the sharpness of his Spirit Consciousness, he quickly detected several powerful Second Order demon beasts.

Bloodthirsty Crocodile, Black Swamp Giant Python, Clouds Leopard...

For these demon beasts with even more vibrant life force, Luo Chen did not harbor any intentions.

He could easily kill them.

But if he provoked any incident, it would not be in line with his original intention of returning home peacefully.

Soon, Luo Chen, following his memory, rushed to that Yuan Magnetic Valley.

This was one of the many strongholds of the Broken Mountain Gang in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range and it was also a hidden stronghold.

The reason it was set up in the Yuan Magnetic Valley was that it contained a trace amount of Yuan magnetic force, forbade the Five Elements, had thin Spirit Qi, and most demon beasts with a bit of Spirit Intelligence would subconsciously stay away from this place.

Just as Luo Chen was about to descend from the cloud to enter the Yuan Magnetic Valley.

A figure in his line of sight suddenly made him stop.

”Huh?”

”What’s he doing here?”
