Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1369: Chapter 515: The Three Post-Nascent, Descend on Cangwu (First Release, Then Revise)_3

Over the past year, Luo Chen had left countless traces on Cangwu Mountain, and many Demon Beasts recognized him.

The amiable ones addressed him as Dan Chenzi.

Those who had received his guidance in the Dao of Alchemy and began to dabble in Pill Refinement respected him as Master Luo.

And those with foul temperaments, who looked down on the Human Clan, either bluntly called him ”Human” or simply used his name.

To this, Luo Chen paid no mind.

He continued to lead a reclusive life, dealing daily with only three tasks: handling medicinal ingredients, pill refinement, and cultivation.

In such monotonous work, his proficiency in Emperor Liquor had already reached the level of Finalization.

Even without crafting Top Grade Emperor Liquor, he could achieve a fifty percent success rate with Ascendant Grade ones!

Such progress was truly frightening!

His mastery of Prosperity and Decline True Fire had also reached a terrifying level.

Once, while dealing with a still-dying Third Order Demon Beast when no one was around,

Luo Chen quietly used Prosperity and Decline True Fire to incinerate and refine it.

This process took merely a quarter of an hour to completely refine it.

After thoroughly refining a Third Order Demon Beast, he instantly felt a vigorous vitality surge through his body.

He immediately opened his Attribute Panel.

In the lifespan section, his lifespan limit had increased by one year compared to before!

A single Third Order Demon Beast could actually increase his lifespan by a year; this discovery both shocked and delighted Luo Chen.

If he were to let loose and hunt and forcibly refine Third Order Demon Beasts, wouldn’t Longevity be in sight?

But obviously, he couldn’t act so unrestrainedly.

Thus, he had to suppress this thought deep in his heart.

And during this process, because of the brave advancements in his fire control skills, his Pill Refinement Technique had also greatly improved.

Everyone saw it.

Consequently,

some matters naturally came to find Luo Chen.

...

In the Transmitting Truth Hall,

Luo Chen looked at the thin Pill Formula in his hand, his body slightly trembling.

A Black Crow was lightly pacing on the dark jade steps in the grand hall.

Its wings folded behind its back, much like a Human Clan elder with hands clasped behind.

The strange tone of its voice continuously emitted from her mouth, and when it reached Luo Chen’s ears, it was particularly grating.

”Since the Mountain-Sea World Demonic Beast was defeated by Human Cultivators in the Ancient Times, they resolved to change their cultivation practices after much anguish.”

”Rather than following the old natural evolution path, they mimicked the cultivators, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, forcibly devouring Heaven and Earth Qi, following the path of Demon Cultivators.”

”Therefore, distinctions such as Savage Beasts and Ancient Demons that took up Demon Cultivation arose.”

”To become a Demon Cultivator, from the Second Order, they begin Core Formation and refine their bones, making the body of the Demon Clan gradually resemble that of humans. Especially when advancing from Third to Fourth Order, under the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, they transform into human form, developing Meridian Acupoints and a Purple Mansion Qi Sea. Thus, they can use the quick success methods of humans to rise through realms more swiftly.”

”There’s no choice, Demon Beasts naturally have long lifespans, but their advancement is equally slow.”

”Only through Transformation can they barely keep pace with the Human Clan.”

”This too counts as a strategy of learning from the superior techniques of others to control them.”

Suddenly,

Youquan paused her steps and glanced at Luo Chen, whose face was pale. She changed her direction of pacing.

”Nevertheless, it’s still too slow.”

”After all, the land available for our Demon Clan to reside in this world is dwindling, and the number of Fourth Order Demon Beasts capable of transforming is also decreasing. Even some, like He Qingzi, after transformation, covet the Daoist Lineage of the Human Clan and defect.”

”For this reason, the Great Powers of the Demon Clan painstakingly delve into Bloodline Inheritance and Human texts, trying to find a solution.”

”I do not know if others have found it, but Qi Xia Emperor at Cangwu Mountain was exceptionally gifted and has conceived a Pill Formula.”

”This Pill Formula imitates the Human’s Pill Refinement concepts, using strengths to cover weaknesses, form to supplement form, named the Transforming Pill!”

”That’s what you’re holding now!”

Luo Chen’s hand suddenly felt heavier.

With a strained voice, he said, ”According to the description here, as long as a Third Order Demon Beast takes this pill, it can transform into human form and cultivate your modified Demon Cultivation Technique?”

Youquan cackled, ”Exactly as you think! With this, realms that would require a thousand years for Demon Beasts can be shortened to match yours, needing only four to five hundred years to form a Nascent Soul and become a Fourth Order Demon Beast!”

The pride in her laughter was unrestrained and confident.

Evidently, she had great confidence in this Pill Formula.

And under Luo Chen’s discerning eye for the Dao of Alchemy, this Pill Formula was indeed grand and authentic, virtually flawless.

It was truly feasible!

But then, wouldn’t that mean that Demon Beasts could not only gain their innate lengthy lifespans but could also cultivate as swiftly as the Human Cultivators?

As things continued like this, the Mountain Sea Realm would sooner or later shift from defense to attack.

And he, Luo Chen, would be the prime culprit!

Luo Chen shook all over, bitterly smiling as he said, ”Lord Youquan, aren’t you overestimating Luo? The Transforming Pill is a Fourth Order Elixir, and I’m merely a Third Order Pill Refiner. I’m afraid I won’t be able to refine it.”

”No, you can do it!”

”I...”

”Are you saying you can’t do it?”

Youquan stopped in his tracks, staring intently at Luo Chen.

As their eyes met, Luo Chen grunted.

The Third Order Illusion Technique Mirror Flower, Water Moon he had been guarding against was instantly broken under the relentless Divine Soul Attack of the opponent, and he subconsciously said, ”Perhaps I could try.”

Youquan blinked, and Luo Chen immediately snapped back to reality.

He was awake, but his expression turned even uglier.

The way Youquan imposed the influence of the Divine Soul, forcing one to spit out the truth, was something he simply couldn’t resist, even with prior preparation given his current expertise.

”Drop those little schemes of yours.”

”The ’Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra’ was not given to you for nothing.”

”Now that you possess Fourth-Order True Fire, your fire control skills have reached the peak, and with the full support of my Cangwu Mountain, refining a Fourth Order Pill is hardly a difficult task. Moreover, the pill formula, as Lord Yuan Jun has said, is not very complicated. With your solid foundation in pill refinement, success is certain after a few more attempts!”

”Luo Chen, don’t disappoint me!”

Luo Chen’s lips twitched, unable to utter a word of dissent.

He merely said that he needed time to carefully study it, then walked out of the Transmitting Truth Hall somewhat dazed.

Upon exiting.

He picked up the pill formula again.

”Transforming Pill”

[Main Ingredients: Cultivator’s Nascent Soul, Cultivator’s Essence Blood]

Merely two points, yet shockingly striking.

Thinking all along that pill refinement involved using plant and Demon Beast materials, this time it actually required using human cultivators.

And furthermore, the Nascent Soul!

That was the very condensation of a cultivator’s lifelong cultivation fruits, rightfully referred to as Dao Fruit.

Using these to refine pills, how was it different from falling into the demonic path?

”Indeed, the original pill formula comes from the Demon Clan, using humans as main materials for refinement; it’s not really different from those times I used Demon Beast flesh and blood for pill refinement,” Luo Chen muttered.

His eyes lifted to gaze at the azure sky.

Cloudless, the sky was a clear blue wash.

It should have been soothing, but he felt himself sinking deeper, listless as if he would never escape from this path.

Just then.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared in the sky.

Luo Chen was startled.

Qing Shuang!

What was she doing out there so abruptly?

The next moment, Qing Shuang clenched her fist slightly and threw a punch towards an empty space.

Boom!

With the punch, ripples spread.

Throughout heaven and earth, Spirit Light burst forth.

A gauzy-like Magic Item instantly shattered.

And under the hazy gauze, three figures were revealed in front of Cangwu Mountain, unobstructed.

With just one look, Luo Chen’s face showed ecstatic joy.

However, before he could rush out, a gust of black wind surged out from the Transmitting Truth Hall and swept him back into the depths of the hall.

At the same time, a Black Crow swept past him and rushed out of the Transmitting Truth Hall.

As they passed each other, a Divine Soul Transmission fell into Luo Chen’s ears.

”Stay put and stop causing trouble. Three Late Stage Nascent Souls can’t breach my Cangwu Mountain!”

Simultaneously.

Three mighty voices thundered from the clear sky.

”Master He Huan, please show us your guidance!”

”Five Elements Divine Essence, please show us your guidance!”

”Tianji Hui Ping, please show us your guidance!”
