Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1376: Chapter 518: Mixed Primordial Unity, Cauldron Ascends to Ascendant Grade

Those skilled in their crafts must also be sincere in heart!

In layman’s terms, anyone who can reach the level of founding a school in a certain craft must genuinely love it.

Even if initially learning this craft was merely for making a living or for some other reason, as one becomes more proficient, they will naturally develop a fond affection for their own craft.

Luo Chen was like this, Min Longyu was like this, and Hu Yan Zhuo was also like this.

Tian Yezi, who had enjoyed the status of a Nascent Soul for hundreds of years, felt the same.

Even if there were many hardships before and great psychological disparities, once he truly started with artifact refining, his entire demeanor changed.

Solemn and dignified!

It was as if he was engaged in a sacred act.

Luo Chen had previously observed Duan Feng refining artifacts, with numerous patterns and complex tools, employing various secret techniques and medicines.

Yet Tian Yezi’s artifact refining seemed utterly ordinary at first glance.

From the low-order Xuan Iron and Ink Lead, to the Second-order Flowing Sand Fine Gold and Xuan Luo Golden Crystal...

From the lowest to highest quality, his process was orderly and methodical.

The technique seemed quite ordinary, merely using his Natal True Fire to slowly calcine and refine impurities, adjusting to a certain state for later use.

However, it was in these seemingly ordinary procedures that the exceptional artistry of his artifact refining technique shone through.

”That Soft Thunder Sand is a Third-order mineral. Though its name suggests softness, it is incredibly hard and requires special animal urine to process, yet Tian Yezi handled it so swiftly!”

Luo Chen had heard before how Duan Feng and Gongsun Gan from Bai Lian Mountains handled Soft Thunder Sand—always complicated and cumbersome.

Tian Yezi dealt with it effortlessly and easily, which indeed was astonishing.

”He truly deserves the title of Grandmaster of Alchemy!”

Within Luo Chen’s reflections, Tian Yezi’s preliminary preparations carried on without confusion.

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.

”Next, we need to process the five main materials, starting with Geng Gold.”

Tian Yezi declared, as the Original Source True Fire enveloped the fist-sized Geng Gold ore.

”For the main materials of the Five Elements, process them using the overcoming relationships, then finally merge them one by one using the generating principle of the Five Elements. Only in this way can we achieve the fundamental essence of Mixed Yuan.”

Halfway through, Tian Yezi suddenly threw the material.

”The rest, you handle it!”

Luo Chen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly used his Qi Power to catch the half-processed Geng Gold, applying the Prosperity and Decline True Fire to slowly calcine it.

Tian Yezi, while retrieving Dark Heavy Wood, said, ”In the making of a Natal Magic Item, if the owner participates in the refinement process, it has great benefits for later consecration.”

”More than that, I will not say now. You will experience it in time!”

Luo Chen nodded, ”Thank you, Senior, for the guidance.”

Following Dark Heavy Wood, came Han Sui, and then Fire Spirit Drill.

Trace Mud needed no further processing, as it was essentially a finished product sold by Ailao Mountain.

Processing the Fire Spirit Drill was no challenge for Tian Yezi.

But ten days later, he looked with surprise at a deep red diamond in his hand.

”Curious! Curious!”

Luo Chen glanced curiously, it was the exact deep red Fire Spirit Drill he had obtained from the Cangwu Mountain Treasury, containing a droplet of unknown creature’s blood.

”Senior, what’s the matter? Is this Fire Spirit Drill of poor quality?”

Tian Yezi shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

”That’s not it, this Fire Spirit Drill’s quality is exceptionally fine, the best I’ve seen in my many years.”

”What I find strange is... how do I put this?”

He pondered more, his confusion deepening, yet he didn’t let go of the Fire Spirit Drill.

”What is this feeling?”

”Why can’t I grasp the Spirit Light that just emerged?”

”What exactly is the problem?”

Mutterings continued to emanate from his mouth.

Eventually, it turned into nearly a roar, his eyes even bearing a hint of madness.

Luo Chen panicked.

”Senior, if it really won’t work, let’s not use this Fire Spirit Drill. Use something else!”

”No!”

Tian Yezi suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot.

”How can we not use it? I can feel that this Fire Spirit Drill, if added to the Magic Item, will produce unimaginably powerful effects.”

”But what is it that I can’t sense anymore?”

Bursts of Qi Power started to emanate from him, spilling outwards.

This was clearly a sign of demonic deviation!

Luo Chen was shocked!

What exactly was that droplet of blood, to cause even a Nascent Soul True Master to lose control over his own realm?

The next moment, an indifferent voice came through.

”Calm down!”

Opposite to it, a slender finger touched Tian Yezi’s forehead across space.

Subsequently, a hand took the Fire Spirit Drill and casually wiped it.

Instantly!

The breath was isolated, and Tian Yezi calmed down.

”Hu! Hu! Hu!”

The old man gasped heavily, his eyes slightly fearful as he looked at the Fire Spirit Drill.

He couldn’t help but look up at the newcomer.

”Qing Shuang, do you know the origin of that droplet of blood?”

”I do not.”

Qing Shuang replied blandly and handed the Fire Spirit Drill back to Tian Yezi.

”Focus on your refining, forget about other things.”

Tian Yezi lowered his head, looking deeply at the Fire Spirit Drill now separated by the force of space, exhibiting a hint of regret.

He knew, he might have missed the greatest opportunity of his life.

This opportunity, not the droplet of blood, but that fleeting Spirit Light from earlier.
