Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1375: Chapter 517: I’m Starting to Look Forward to This Primordial Chaos Tripod_3

Luo Chen’s expression turned solemn, ”Lord Youquan, you wouldn’t want the Transforming Pill to fail in production either!”

Youquan stared at him earnestly and retorted, ”Can’t other complete Magic Item alchemy equipment do the job? I have plenty at hand, even alchemy equipment that is a half-true artifact. If you refine it, the results should be even better, right?”

Luo Chen slowly shook his head.

”Only that which is one’s own is the best!”

Youquan was somewhat incredulous.

With a sweep of a wing, a green Pill Furnace clanged as it landed on the ground.

”The Qing Yuan Cauldron!”

”This was obtained from a Nascent Soul Stage Rogue Cultivator Pill Master from the Eastern Wasteland, who had also refined pills for my Cangwu Mountain. Sadly, he was too cunning, and was slain personally by Lord Qi Xia. This cauldron’s grade has already surpassed that of an Ascendant Grade Magic Item, and it’s merely a step away from being a True Device.”

”You might as well try it!”

Luo Chen was taken aback.

When he heard the name of the Pill Cauldron, he almost didn’t react.

The Qing Yuan Cauldron!

Wasn’t that the name of a Magic Item Pill Cauldron recorded in the ”Qing Yuanzi’s Detailed Explanation of the Path of Pill” that he had obtained from Mi Shuhua?

In that Elixir Explanation, Qing Yuanzi mentioned that if his Core Formation was successful, he would choose the Qing Yuan Cauldron as his Natal Magic Item.

Now...

”Could the owner of this cauldron be Qing Yuanzi himself?”

”Rogue Cultivator, Nascent Soul Stage, good grief, just how fortunate was this person to cultivate to such a realm, and how unlucky to have been personally killed by Emperor Qi Xia.”

As thoughts churned in his mind, Luo Chen had no intention of guessing any further.

He promptly took the Qing Yuan Cauldron into his possession.

Alright then!

If you insist on this, then I will give it a try!

After all, it isn’t my savings that will be lost.

Luo Chen couldn’t be bothered to argue further, and after setting a date to start pill refinement, he bid farewell and left.

...

Half a month later, having prepared all the materials, Luo Chen began pill refinement in the Transmitting Truth Hall.

This time, there were no other Low Order Flying Beasts spectating.

Only Master Qing Shuang, Youquan, and the assisting He Qingzi, the three of them, were present.

The Half True Artifact, the Qing Yuan Cauldron, was placed on the ground.

The Withering and Flourishing True Fire ignited in an instant.

Luo Chen flicked his fingers and a drop of Blood Essence from Tian Yezi was the first to enter the Pill Cauldron, followed by the addition of various support materials.

During this process, Luo Chen’s wrist continually turned, his fingers deftly flew, resembling embroidery, as he cast numerous Pill Technique Dao Laws.

Under his manipulation, the medicinal ingredients in the cauldron began to slowly refine, purify, and merge.

Youquan looked on with slight anxiety.

Emperor Qi Xia did not care about the development of Cangwu Mountain’s Holy Land, and Qing Shuang was only focused on personal cultivation, but she could not do the same!

There were too few strong practitioners in the Transmitting Truth Hall.

Far from matching the standards of a Divine Transformation Holy Land.

If she could refine the Transforming Pill, she would be able to select seedlings from Third Order Demon Beasts for training.

Given time, she would definitely be able to cultivate numerous Nascent Soul Stage Demon Cultivators.

By then, the development and strengthening of Cangwu Mountain would likely please Emperor Qi Xia.

She understood some Pill Refinement Technique herself, but it was limited to the Beginner Level.

This path relied heavily on talent and practical operation.

Youquan simply did not have the time to refine pills over and over to increase proficiency.

And Nascent Soul Stage Human Clan Pill Masters were not easy to control.

Luo Chen, in her eyes, was the most suitable candidate.

”I hope he doesn’t play any tricks!”

As Youquan murmured to herself, time slowly passed by.

In the blink of an eye, five days had flowed away.

Suddenly, a burnt smell wafted through the Transmitting Truth Hall.

Youquan’s expression changed slightly, ”Has it failed already?”

She had observed very carefully, from beginning to end, Luo Chen had not played any tricks but had earnestly refined the pill.

With her limited Dao of Alchemy knowledge, she could clearly see that Luo Chen had performed every Pill Technique to perfection.

And yet, it still failed?

She found this somewhat unacceptable.

Although Luo Chen felt some regret, his mindset remained tranquil.

”Failure is to be expected; there’s no guarantee of success on the first try.”

He cast a surge of Qi Power, and immediately, a mass of pitch-black liquid flew out of the Qing Yuan Cauldron.

Holding it in his hands, Luo Chen carefully observed and analyzed it.

After a long while, he identified the reason for his failure.

”The power of the Nascent Soul is too strong!”

”Even a trace of it is hard for me to grasp. Especially, ensuring that the essence of this power remains intact makes it even more difficult.”

”Moreover, the Order of the Qing Yuan Cauldron is too high, and as a Wood Type Magic Item, it is incompatible with me; I can’t familiarize myself with it in half a month’s time.”

”In addition, on the processing of the materials...”

One by one, he outlined the reasons, making Youquan’s face look increasingly ugly.

Circling around the Qing Yuan Cauldron twice, Youquan eventually landed on the edge of the giant cauldron.

”In the end, you’re just trying to borrow the power of my Cangwu Mountain to refine your Natal Magic Item, aren’t you?”

Under Youquan’s direct gaze, Luo Chen nodded firmly.

”To refine a Fourth Order Elixir beyond my Order, I must have a Natal Pill Tripod of my own. I hope the Lord of the Hall can oblige!”

Youquan stared at Luo Chen intently, ”You said there’s an incompatibility, but the Primordial Chaos Tripod you mentioned is a Five Elements Treasure. You’re currently focusing on the Fire Series; is that really suitable?”

Luo Chen smiled calmly, ”The Lord should be clearer than me that, in essence, my Golden Core still has the foundation of the Five Elements Golden Core. The cultivation I’m practicing now is merely using a ’false’ to practice the ’true’, using a fake Fire Series Heavenly Spirit Root for cultivation. The Natal Magic Item that fits me best is still the one that encompasses all Five Elements.”

”The Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra is just so perverse!”

Without altering the nature of the Golden Core, it simulates a Single Fire Series Heavenly Spirit Root, thereby increasing the speed of cultivation by several to more than ten times.

As the one who provided this Cultivation Technique, Youquan indeed knew better than anyone.

Silence became the theme of the moment.

In the end, it was still a cold female voice that broke the awkwardness.

”Either way, it’s just a Natal Magic Item. Just agree to it, Youquan.”

Youquan took a deep breath and snorted coldly, ”Troublesome!”

Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help showing a look of joy.

”In that case, I thank Master Qing Shuang and Lord Youquan for granting this!”

...

Troublesome indeed.

Asking Tian Yezi for help in refining a Magic Item meant that they would have to restore some of his power.

This would introduce many variables.

However, the Transforming Pill was a critical part of Youquan’s plan, which she obviously didn’t want to give up.

Thus, she had no choice but to call upon Qing Shuang to help her keep an eye on Tian Yezi.

In the prison, Tian Yezi reluctantly accepted the Primordial Chaos Tripod blueprint under the watchful eyes of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

He glanced over it briefly and said coldly, ”No need to look further, this Primordial Chaos Tripod I have refined before. Just prepare enough materials.”

Saying this, he turned to Luo Chen.

”The things you promised?”

Qing Shuang waved her hand, and a medicine vial landed on the ground in front of Tian Yezi.

Tian Yezi picked it up silently.

”Luo Chen, they are really good to you, aren’t they!”

Luo Chen, as if not hearing the sarcasm in his words, started to take things out from his storage ring.

The most basic First and Second Order mineral materials, followed by Geng Gold, Dark Heavy Wood, Han Sui, Fire Spirit Drill, Trace Mud, and other main materials of the Third Order.

There was a large quantity, and almost each type had more than ten portions!

Tian Yezi inspected them briefly and showed a satisfied expression.

”You’ve prepared quite well!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”Of course, it involves my Natal Magic Item; how could I not be well-prepared? I also have some nice items that can be added in. Please examine them, Senior.”

A large box of Tongxuan Sky Crystals!

Tian Yezi was somewhat surprised, ”Such a quantity, it’s comparable to the entire reserves of a Golden Core Sect.”

A Cold Ice Jade Bottle.

Tian Yezi opened it and took a sniff, his eyebrows lifted, ”Fourth Order Ice Soul Cold Marrow, did you get this from Ice Castle?”

Luo Chen nodded, then under the watchful eyes of the two, he carefully took out a pure white flower that looked like a Mountain Camellia from the Accumulated Thunder Treasured Ring.

The moment it appeared, pure and unparalleled force of thunder and lightning emerged in the gloomy prison cell.

Lightning danced like writhing serpents.

Tian Yezi’s expression changed slightly.

Qing Shuang also showed a moved expression.

Not only that, a strong aura came from the corridor.

Thunder Prison Divine Roc suddenly appeared beside Luo Chen, its eyes blazing as it looked at the white flower.

”Thousand Years Thunder Jade!”

Tian Yezi glanced at the Thunder Prison Divine Roc, then turned to Luo Chen and stroked his beard, saying:

”I am somewhat looking forward to your Primordial Chaos Tripod now.”
