Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1323: Chapter 501 Demon Emperor Ao Xiao, Ling Yue One Slash_3

The three of them were nearly shocked in an instant by the Divine Consciousness displayed by Luo Chen using the Array.

After marveling, Linghu Jie said in a deep voice, ”No wonder he was able to succeed on his first try using our Sect’s Core Formation Secret Art. With such a foundation, cultivating ’Bead Curtain Lock’ is as natural as a fish in water. Minor achievement is easily within reach, and even completion is not unattainable.”

They didn’t doubt that, with such a Divine Soul endowment, Luo Chen would choose those Simple or Medium Techniques of Elixir Formation.

He must be cultivating the ’Bead Curtain Lock’ that Luo Yun Sect had once released!

Of course, if they knew that Luo Chen had not only cultivated this technique to the Completion Stage but also used it as a basis to create his own Supreme Method of Elixir Formation, they would be beyond astonished.

Even so, it was enough to amaze people right now.

Mu Yunyan’s delicate face showed excitement.

”Getting him to hand over the Tongyou Pill formula is impossible, but if he could sell the Tongyou Pills in bulk to our Sect, then our disciples could cultivate ’Bead Curtain Lock’ on a large scale. Given time, our Sect might have hundreds of Golden Cores, or even cultivate one or two Nascent Soul True Masters.”

Cheng Yan furrowed his brow, ”Mu Sister, you got a bottle of Tongyou Pills, can’t you deduce the exact pill formula from it?”

Mu Yunyan gave a wry smile, ”Deducing the pill formula isn’t that simple! Plus, I’ve experimented several times this month, and even if I deduced the right ingredients, I found that no matter how I adjusted the proportions, I couldn’t achieve the ideal state.”

”Not to speak of forming pills, the furnace even exploded several times!”

Was it that difficult?

Cheng Yan and Linghu Jie looked at each other.

Deducing the general ingredients for the Tongyou Pills wasn’t difficult.

By investigating the Luo Tian Sect’s ingredient purchases, narrowing the scope, and then through Luo Yun Sect’s pharmacists and Mu Yunyan, a Pill Refinement Grandmaster, they could gradually figure out the situation.

But every attempt to refine the pills led to explosions, which was outrageous.

What they didn’t know was that Luo Chen’s Tongyou Pill was originally an incomplete pill formula, completed rudimentarily through the system.

And the bottle of Tongyou Pills Luo Chen had traded to Mu Yunyan was Second-order!

And this Second-order Tongyou Pill formula was further derived and improved by Luo Chen based on the original.

This meant that this pill formula had three levels of locks.

The system’s completion was one lock, how to begin was another, and directly deriving a Second-order formula added another lock.

After a while, Cheng Yan stroked his beard and said solemnly, ”If that’s the case, then there’s no need to reverse-engineer it anymore. It’s a waste of manpower and resources.”

Mu Yunyan nodded.

Now was the most critical moment for Luo Yun Sect, and the Sect couldn’t provide the kind of full support they used to.

Manpower and resources needed to be focused on the critical areas.

Cheng Yan continued, ”As for Dan Chenzi, let’s continue to maintain a friendly relationship with him. Also, Linghu Junior Brother.”

”Please speak, Senior Brother.”

”One year from now, when we attack Extreme Emperor Mountain, Ao Xiao Wolf Court might send Demon Beast troops to aid. At that time, adjust the tasks of the Sword Hall, and arrange for the Luo Tian Alliance to stay at the base camp, keeping them off the battlefield.”

Linghu Jie nodded, this was within his expectations.

Extreme Emperor Mountain was the location of a Top Grade Third Order Spirit Vein which the Five Major Golden Core Sects had failed to capture previously.

According to informed sources, the quality of that Spirit Vein was extremely high, and if nurtured properly, it might even reach Fourth Order!

One Xiao Yue Mountain Range potentially containing two Fourth Order Spirit Veins was truly astonishing.

This was also why five Golden Core Great Sects had set their sights on this place in the past.

For this reason, many powerful cultivators were lost, and Taihe Gate almost faced complete annihilation there.

Linghu Jie hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, ”In that Great decisive battle, how should we arrange for Dan Chenzi?”

Cheng Yan frowned and then waved his hand.

”No need for special arrangements; let things proceed as they will. Certain matters shouldn’t be too biased, I’ll take care of him when the time comes.”

”Understood.”

...

Luo Chen had realized this long ago.

After he achieved fame and success, the environment around him had completely transformed.

Wherever he went, he was treated with respect.

Everyone he met greeted him with a smile.

Even now, situated in a frontline that made many pale with fear, his treatment was still surprisingly good.

After a patrol mission a month ago, he wasn’t assigned any significant dangerous tasks for several months.

At most, he was asked to send one or two Foundation Establishment Cultivators to deliver messages.

He didn’t need to move personally.

By contrast, cultivators from other Sects in the Sword Hall were given much more dangerous tasks.

Blocking Demon Beasts, gathering intelligence, mediating Sect conflicts...

From time to time, he saw Sword Hall cultivators return bloodied.

Luo Chen found this situation acceptable and even welcomed it.

Quietly copying Arrays in his Cave Mansion, furiously brushing up on proficiency, meditating every day to cultivate, and watching his cultivation level steadily increase, it was simply delightful.

Occasionally, he would even take the time to visit Mu Yunyan, exchanging insights on Pill Refinement Technique.

After several exchanges, he introduced the Inverse Scale Hand, exchanging a Pill Technique, Juniper Heron Hand, with her, enriching his foundation in Pill Techniques.

Sometimes, when he felt overly idle, he would take out all the massive amount of ingredients stored in his Storage Ring to refine pills.

Because of this, he made a large batch of Ascendant Grade and Top Grade Jade Dew Pills for Hui Niang and Caiyi, enough for them to use up to their Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization.

After sending someone to deliver them,

Luo Chen grew bored again and began gathering complete Second-order Demon Beast corpses at the base camp.
