Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1383: Chapter 520: Great Power Arrives in the Spring Rain

The weather had become colder and colder.

So cold, in fact, that it surpassed everyone’s imagination.

According to some demon beasts on Cangwu Mountain, this snowstorm that had persisted for four months was said to be the worst in a millennium!

The snow was so deep that it sank three feet into the ground.

If one didn’t apply qi power, it was all too easy to accidentally sink deep into the thick layer of snow.

This kind of heavy snow significantly impeded the free movement of the demon beasts on Cangwu Mountain.

It was said that Lord Youquan, the Vice Hall Master of Transmitting Truth Hall, had recently been preparing to start the array, forcibly changing the weather to bring Spring earlier.

Luo Chen didn’t make any special effort to inquire too much about the situation on Cangwu Mountain.

His attention had recently shifted from his Natal Magic Item to the crafting of the Transforming Pill.

Inside his Cave Mansion.

Luo Chen looked at the round, grey cauldron standing on the ground, skillfully tossing one herbal ingredient after another into it.

”Journey to the West faced only eighty-one difficulties.”

”I have already failed a full eighty times, but this eighty-first attempt at igniting the cauldron, is precisely when success is at hand!”

A smile hinted on Luo Chen’s face; he had a premonition that this time he would definitely succeed!

Unlike the usual crafting of Transforming Pills, which would attract many onlookers, his repeated failures had naturally diminished people’s interest.

Especially during this heavy snow season.

With no one paying attention, Luo Chen’s focus became even more concentrated.

When he threw in the Blood Essence containing the power of Nascent Soul from Tian Yezi, Luo Chen thought of the old man.

Ever since he finished crafting his Natal Magic Item for him, the old man’s condition had been getting worse by the day.

Even with the Spirit Medicine bestowed by Lord Youquan, having one’s Natal Life Essence drawn out over eighty times was something not even the strong Qi-Blood demon beasts of the wilderness, let alone Human Cultivators, could withstand.

”I’m afraid Tian Yezi won’t last much longer.”

”This Fourth Order Elixir, although it didn’t cost me any Achievement Points, has hard consumed eight hundred years of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator’s Dao Cultivation.”

”The price, is undeniably huge!”

Luo Chen sighed.

He thought that the next time he saw the old man, he would bring something tasty and enjoyable for him.

Just recently a Third Order Golden-haired Snow Owl had brought him a large jar of Monkey Wine. The Spirit Qi might not have been very pure, but the taste was quite unique; perhaps Tian Yezi would like it.

As his thoughts flowed, Luo Chen didn’t relax his Pill Technique in the slightest.

Gradually, time slowly passed by.

Ten days later.

Luo Chen’s eyes sharpened, his wrist flipped, and he raised his empty hand.

A ball of light slowly rose from the round grey cauldron.

A wave of his big sleeve scattered the radiance, leaving only five golden, pearl-sized Elixir Pills floating in the air.

Each Elixir Pill was so bright and dazzling.

Even if one stared at them for too long, one might even start to hear the cries of infants in a trance.

Luo Chen suddenly shook his head and steadied his soul.

With a grab of his hand, the five pills were in his grasp.

”This is done.”

Cultivating a Fourth Order Pill above one’s level, but there was not the imagined excitement and ecstasy.

Some things, when anticipated, tend to lessen the surprise.

And because these pills contained the hard work of a senior member of the Human Clan, there was even less reason to be excited.

In the end, thinking about these being used for demon beasts to transform into human form and cultivate techniques, made him feel not at all thrilled.

Luo Chen sighed, put away the Primordial Chaos Tripod, and left the Cave Mansion.

...

Upon leaving the Cave Mansion, Luo Chen paused.

Looking up at the sky, the goose feather-like heavy snow was still drifting down as usual.

”By the season, it should be Spring already, why isn’t the snow stopping?”

Luo Chen muttered to himself, rode up on a cloud condensed with qi power, and flew toward Transmitting Truth Hall.

Arriving outside the hall, he notified the demon beast gatekeeper, then quietly waited.

Soon after, he received a voice letting him in.

”What is the matter?”

Luo Chen frowned, noting a hint of impatience in Youquan’s tone.

He didn’t hesitate much, immediately taking out five golden pills from his Storage Ring.

”This...”

Seeing the five Elixir Pills, Youquan paused, then as though realizing something, spoke uncertainly:

”Transforming Pill?”

”Yes, fortunately, I have not failed to honor my commitment and have successfully crafted them.”

Luo Chen said with a slight smile, handing over four of the Transforming Pills to her.

Youquan glanced at the remaining one.

Luo Chen naturally held it in his hand, ”Out of a cauldron of five, I would like to retain one for research purposes, I hope the Hall Master will grant this request.”

Youquan blinked her eyes, her gaze eventually resting on the four Transforming Pills in her hand, showing a trace of anticipation.

After a slight hesitation, she nodded lightly.

”I grant you your request!”

After delivering the Elixir Pills, there was nothing else to be done.

Luo Chen planned to take his leave.

However, Youquan stopped him.

As Luo Chen looked on in confusion, she naturally said, ”Transmitting Truth Hall will soon be activating the Big Formation to drive away the snow that has covered Cangwu Mountain for months. Don’t wander around during the activation of the array.”

Luo Chen was startled, then nodded in agreement.

Perfect!

He felt that his advancement to the Third Level of the Golden Core was imminent within the next few days; he had no plans to go out anyway.

Now that he had delivered the first batch of Transforming Pills, the Cangwu Mountain Demon Cultivators likely wouldn’t press him for a while.

Taking advantage of this, he thought it would be quite appropriate to seize the time for Closed-Door Cultivation and make the breakthrough to the Third Layer of Golden Core.

After Luo Chen had left.

Youquan’s gaze fell on the four Transforming Pills, her emotions fluctuating.

”My Nether Crow bloodline is too diluted; it was created from a wisp of Yin Crow’s breath seized by Yuan Jun during a life and death crisis.”

”The diluted bloodline caused me to lack the strength to transform into human form even though I successfully broke through to the Fourth Order.”
