Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1453: Chapter 542 Absolute Outburst, Capturing a Third Order Demon Beast Alive

Black Emperor Ointment!

Unranked Elixir!

It sounds strange, but in reality, it’s not.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, there are quite a few rare elixirs that belong to the unranked category.

Of course, this is not to say that Black Emperor Ointment is inferior; rather, its rank is not fixed.

The rank of the elixir is not determined by the pill formula itself, but by the limitations of the main material!

In other words, the better the main material, the higher the rank of the Black Emperor Ointment that can be refined.

According to the pill formula given by Han Zhan, a First Order main material can be used to refine a Second Order Black Emperor Ointment, a Second Order main material can refine a Third Order Black Emperor Ointment, and as for the Fourth Order Level Black Emperor Ointment, it requires at least a Third Order main material for successful refinement.

What is the main material for Black Emperor Ointment, you ask?

It is very flexible: scales and shells, sloughed thick skin, any part of a Demon Beast that is hard on the outside can be used for the medicine.

It is precisely because it embodies the idea of firmness, that the puppets of the Luo Yun Sect surpass those of other sects in the Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World.

However, success and failure both lie in the Black Emperor Ointment.

Fourth Order Black Emperor Ointment is too difficult to obtain, after all, it requires the scales and shells of Third Order Demon Beasts as the main material. Therefore, the Black Emperor Ointments commonly used by the Luo Yun Sect are mainly Second to Third Order quality, refined from the main materials of First and Second Order Demon Beasts. Even the Third Order ones are very scarce in stock.

The bottle of Black Emperor Ointment awarded to Luo Chen by Han Zhan on the battlefield of Sky Drum Plain years ago was only of Third Order Stage.

As a good start to their cooperation, Han Zhan gave Luo Chen the pill formula for Black Emperor Ointment.

After obtaining it, Luo Chen immediately began studying it.

The pill formula was not complicated.

After all, it’s an unranked elixir.

After practicing several times, he refined it several times with readily available materials on the Flying Swallow Islands.

There were failures, but also successes.

Moreover, he gained many insights.

He found that it is best to use ”live shells” for refining the ointment, so as to maximize the medicinal properties!

However, the surrounding sea area of the Flying Swallow Islands, while abundant with marine Demon Beasts, is not known for having hard scales and shells. To refine using live materials, there were even less conditions.

Thus, after consulting with people like Cheng Haixin, he identified several target locations.

One is the Mysterious Rock Sea Area, rampant with crab Demon Beasts, with their shells exceptionally hard.

Another is the Tian Xia Sea Region, where shrimp Demon Beasts are innumerable and Savage Beast species have appeared.

One more is the famous Oblivion Sea, where, it is said, early on there were a vast number of turtle Demon Beasts that inherited the bloodline of the Ancient Xuanturtle.

Among these target locations, Luo Chen made his choices quickly.

Oblivion Sea was too far, Tian Xia Sea Region too dangerous.

By comparison, the Mysterious Rock Sea Area was closer and relatively safe, making it the best choice.

After getting everything ready, he set off without hesitation.

To prevent getting lost, he especially called upon Cheng Ji, the most experienced sea master of the Cheng Family, to steer the Monster Hunting Ship and carry him part of the way.

Now, aboard the Monster Hunting Ship.

Luo Chen held the brief pill formula transcribed by Han Zhan, studying it over and over again, ensuring that once he reached his destination, he could kill the beasts, take the materials, refine the elixir, and conduct Physique Training all in one go.

To avoid hitting a snag on this most fundamental step upon arrival.

The corresponding auxiliary materials for the Black Emperor Ointment were also stuffed full in his storage ring, ready for live refining when the time came.

While he was studying, a transmission of voice entered his ear.

With a thought, Luo Chen took out a blood-colored token from his storage ring.

”Is there a problem with this?”

Across from him, Han Zhan’s voice drifted leisurely from the Soul Banner.

”There’s nothing wrong with the token itself, but almost every token from a Nascent Soul True Master will have some tracking means. If you don’t want to be easily found, it’s best to deal with it.”

Luo Chen frowned slightly, ”A storage ring can’t block such a connection?”

Han Zhan smiled lightly, ”If it was a special storage ring, perhaps it could work, but yours...”

Luo Chen looked at the black ring on his finger.

The Accumulated Thunder Treasured Ring, obtained from the ruins left by the Great Power Bai Ye.

Its material was not particularly special, merely used as a storage device for Thunder Jade. Only through the passage of time had it barely advanced to Magic Item Level.

To say it had some special ability to conceal breath and block induction, that would be giving it too much credit.

After a moment of contemplation, he asked bluntly: ”What should I do?”

”Give me the token.”

Without hesitation, Luo Chen handed the Blood Nightmare Order over.

From the Soul Banner, wisps of black energy flew out, wrapping around the Blood Nightmare Order in a special trajectory for several cycles.

Gradually, the blood color faded away.

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, ”That’s it?”

Han Zhan smiled slightly, ”With my expertise in the Divine Soul, ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators certainly won’t be able to track this token’s mark. Of course, if you feel uncertain, you can take some additional protective measures.”

”Oh, please teach me, senior!” Luo Chen asked humbly for guidance.

”It’s simple, aren’t you quite skilled at concealing arrays? Just engrave the array with your Divine Consciousness onto this ring. If you think it’s not safe enough, then engrave several layers of the array.” Han Zhan paused for a moment, then said with a fine hint of astonishment in his voice, ”I have never seen anyone who can cultivate such a common array to the level you have. If you personally set it up, and my methods are added on top, even if the owner of the Blood Nightmare Order, Blood Nightmare Mo Luo himself comes looking, he surely won’t be able to find you.”

With that much said, Luo Chen naturally agreed.

It was just engraving an array with Divine Consciousness!

These years of opening storage bags had made him familiar with the process.

Compared to the Spirit Consciousness of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Divine Consciousness that transformed during the Golden Core Period was much stronger.

In just a few breaths, Luo Chen had engraved five layers of Concealing Arrays onto his own storage ring.
