Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1374: Chapter 517: I’m Somewhat Looking Forward to Your Primordial Chaos Tripod - Part 2

Han Zhan looked at Luo Chen, then directed his gaze forward.

”Are you going to seek Tian Yezi, friend?”

”Yes, I need to fetch medicine.”

Han Zhan fell into a brief silence.

The reason he was the backup medicinal material lay in the fact that the main medicinal materials currently used on Cangwu Mountain were Tian Yezi’s, embodying both divinity and physicality.

However, how long could Tian Yezi sustain it?

Once Tian Yezi was completely depleted, he feared it would be his turn next!

A sigh resonated deeply.

”Young friend,” do you know the things you are doing now are utterly unforgivable and rebellious? If the strong humans knew about this, your fate would be a thousand, no, ten thousand times worse than mine.”

”I... have no choice!”

Luo Chen sighed deeply, losing interest in further conversation with Han Zhan and continued down the corridor.

Watching his lonely figure, Han Zhan’s Nascent Soul transformed into a wily little figure, his eyes cleverly shifting, revealing a hint of contemplative expression.

From his demeanor, he seemed to be suffering less than he had shown previously.

...

”Senior Tian Yezi, sorry for disturbing you!”

”Hmph, take it!”

In the quiet dungeon, Tian Yezi, his face contorted with discomfort, opened his mouth and spat out a drop of Blood Essence, filled with unimaginable Qi Power, towards Luo Chen.

Luo Chen quickly took out a Jade Vial to collect the Blood Essence.

This was not merely simple Blood Essence.

Inside it, there was also a trace of the Nascent Soul’s Original Source.

The main material needed for refining the Transforming Pill was this!

This was not Luo Chen’s first time coming to collect materials.

The previous times, Youquan had personally brought him here and personally made Tian Yezi endure great pain before extracting this trace of Nascent Soul’s Original Source.

After several times, Tian Yezi himself no longer struggled, simply preparing the Blood Essence from his body at the appointed times, waiting for Luo Chen to collect it.

Between them, there was rarely any interaction.

Usually, after collecting the materials, they would part ways immediately.

But this time, Luo Chen stopped.

”Why haven’t you left yet?” Tian Yezi glared at Luo Chen, ”You little scoundrel, do you want to gloat over my misfortune?”

Luo Chen shook his head and calmly said, ”I can understand your pain, senior. Do you not understand my situation?”

Tian Yezi snorted coldly, ”There are things one does and things one does not do. You merely chose to follow your heart and succumbed to the coercion of the Demon Beasts.”

Luo Chen did not get angry and remained calm.

”Isn’t senior doing the same?”

”Huh?”

”Otherwise, why not guard your mind every time and prevent the strength of your Nascent Soul from leaking out?”

”I’m not a fool; why should I torment myself?”

”Senior speaks truthfully, and Luo is no fool either!”

Tian Yezi was taken aback, then scoffed coldly.

”What purpose does sparring with me in this way serve? Is it just to get a smile from me whenever you see me?”

Knowing the other party felt uncomfortable.

After all, Han Zhan had only recently become a Nascent Soul, unlike Tian Yezi who had enjoyed the status of a Nascent Soul for hundreds of years.

The disparity in their feelings was the greatest.

Luo Chen didn’t beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

”I wish to refine a Pill Tripod type of Natal Magic Item, but lack the power, so I would like to ask for your assistance. After all, you are a famous Master of Alchemy among the Thirty-six Realms of the Eastern Wasteland, and even Hu Yan Zhuo is merely one of your disciples. If you assist me, my Natal Magic Item will surely be perfect.”

”Nice calculations, hoping to make a fine Pill Tripod, then wholeheartedly serve the Demon Clan to death!”

”There’s no need to put it so harshly; it’s just a struggle for survival,” Luo Chen shifted the topic, ”If senior agrees to help, I can ask Vice Hall Master Youquan to grant Spirit Medicine to heal the damage to your Nascent Soul, keeping your realm from falling.”

Tian Yezi was initially tempted, then frowned.

”What’s the point of this? Feeding me well only to slaughter me for my meat, drink my blood, and cut my Nascent Soul. Am I just a fat pig to be butchered! Luo Chen, you are pushing it too far!”

His words grew more intense and frantic.

By the end, he was roaring furiously, his voice filling the air.

It was fortunate he couldn’t activate his Qi Power beyond the Golden Core Period; otherwise, this roar alone might have killed Luo Chen.

Luo Chen’s expression slightly changed.

He took a deep breath, maintaining his composure as he spoke, ”It’s better to preserve the green mountains than to worry about burning wood. A year ago, you must have sensed something from the three great human powers attacking Cangwu Mountain!”

”Staying alive and maintaining one’s condition is the most important thing!”

This time, Tian Yezi fell silent.

Luo Chen did not press further.

However, in his hand, the Azure Feather flickered with faint light, indicating that the time for this prison visit was almost over.

”I hope senior will consider it carefully. Next time, I will bring the refining diagram for the Primordial Chaos Tripod.”

Luo Chen solemnly bowed and departed from the prison gracefully.

Tian Yezi kept his head down, not responding to his words, lost in his thoughts.

...

As Luo Chen exited, he greeted the Thunder Prison Divine Roc, but this time the creature barely acknowledged him.

Luo Chen didn’t mind and continued on his way up.

After a while, he emerged from the Side Hall.

As he planned to bypass the main hall to return, a figure inconveniently blocked his path.

”Are you trying to get Tian Yezi to refine a Natal Magic Item for you?”

It was Youquan.

Luo Chen knew that he couldn’t hide any minor actions on Cangwu Mountain from him.

He didn’t intend to conceal this fact.

”It’s only natural,” he began, ”my Official’s Cauldron, after all, is just someone else’s Natal Magic Item from their lifetime, not compatible with me. Moreover, it’s incomplete. It might suffice to refine Second or Third Order Elixirs, but if used to make a Fourth Order Transformation Pill, failure would undoubtedly be the outcome.”
