Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1461: Chapter 544

”Could it be a Third-Order Late-Stage Great Demon King?”

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen began to apply his healing techniques to treat the pitiful Black Scaled Flood Dragon’s wounds.

For such terrifying external injuries, most cultivators really had no solution other than to let them heal over time.

Fortunately, Luo Chen had studied various healing techniques to the point of Finalization when his Realm was still low.

Now, as he fully deployed them, streams of healing techniques fell like rain.

They restored organs, set bones, removed rot, and stopped bleeding.

The Spring Breeze Into Rain technique healed and generated new flesh.

With some healing medicine he brought along, the Black Scaled Flood Dragon was slowly pulled back from the brink of danger.

However, due to its massive size, this treatment took Luo Chen a full ten days.

Ten days later.

Looking at the pitiful Black Scaled Flood Dragon, Luo Chen felt an unusual softness in his heart.

”Considering how hard you’ve worked this past year, here, these are for you.”

As he spoke, crystal clear elixir pills landed in front of the Black Scaled Flood Dragon.

Seeing those items, the Black Scaled Flood Dragon’s eyes lit up.

Monster Pills!

And they were all Second Order Monster Pills.

Normally, it could only eat scraps, mostly internal organs.

Unexpectedly, after suffering severe injuries, its master had decided to give it such precious Monster Pills.

For most of the Demon Clan, digesting Monster Pills from other Demon Beasts was difficult, but the Black Scaled Giant Python’s family was different.

That massive body and vigorous vitality all came from an exceptional digestive capability.

Not to mention Monster Pills; they could digest rocks and great trees when there was nothing else to eat.

Its previous master was too stingy.

The Second Order Demon Beasts it had caught were all monopolized by Kun Jiao, leaving none for it.

With a new master, it was merely commanded like a servant.

It thought that it would have to continue living such a miserable life.

Unexpectedly, this master had a generous side!

”Thank you for the Master’s reward!”

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon said ingratiatingly.

”With these Monster Pills, my foundation will surely not weaken. I will definitely heal well and hunt more Demon Crabs for Master.”

Luo Chen shook his head; the Black Scaled Flood Dragon wouldn’t be of help to him anytime soon.

But fortunately, he had captured enough Demon Crabs before, many still unprocessed into Black Emperor Ointment; there was no rush.

Besides, there was the Tianxuan Fighting Bird to command.

With the Tianxuan Fighting Bird’s ability to come and go freely, capturing some Low Order Demon Crabs was a piece of cake.

Just as Luo Chen was about to send the Black Scaled Flood Dragon away to heal, a thought suddenly struck him.

Foundation?

Suddenly, a Jade Vial appeared in his hand, its contents swaying.

”Try this.”

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon was puzzled, taking the Jade Vial with suspicion and peeking inside.

Inside, the liquid was bubbling like shining stars.

”What is this?”

”Emperor Liquor.”

...

Giving the Black Scaled Flood Dragon the Emperor Liquor to consume was an impulsive act out of Luo Chen’s curiosity.

The Emperor Liquor was already the most suitable Spirit Medicine for the Demon Clan to use during Foundation Establishment!

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have caught the eye of Youquan.

He had refined a lot of Emperor Liquor at Cangwu Mountain, even brushing up his Proficiency to Finalization.

Although most of it was given to Youquan, he had kept some for himself.

And the quality was astonishingly high, all Top Grade!

He wanted to see, after this Black Scaled Flood Dragon with pathetic talent, who was fat and only knew how to eat and drink, consumed this Top Grade Emperor Liquor, what would the effect be?

Of course, this was just a whim.

If it worked, it was best; if it didn’t, it was no great loss to him.

Luo Chen was still focused on his own cultivation.

A large quantity of Third-Order Black Emperor Ointment was processed by him, each filled into a Black Jar.

Even though he consumed it daily, the stockpile kept growing.

The Tianxuan Fighting Bird, too, lost its previous leisure and was forced to take over the Black Scaled Flood Dragon’s duties, responsible for capturing Second-order Demon Crabs for Luo Chen.

However, it was evident that after learning from the Black Scaled Flood Dragon’s lesson, Luo Chen became much more cautious.

Therefore, every time the Tianxuan Fighting Bird went out to hunt, he would advise it to be extra careful.

Even if it encountered an enemy, it should not bring trouble back home.

For this purpose, he had Han Zhan create a small mechanism that could be triggered instantly, letting the Tianxuan carry it at all times.

...

Time flew like a white steed flitting past a gap, with the sunlight subtly passing by.

Unknowingly, five years had passed since Luo Chen came to the Mysterious Rock Sea Area.

During these three years, with the concerted efforts of the Black Scaled Flood Dragon and the Tianxuan Fighting Bird, they continuously collected many fresh Demon Crabs for him.

If counted by number, there were more than a thousand!

Throughout this process, the two demons encountered countless dangers.

The siege from the King Crab Clan was just one of them.

There was once when the Black Scaled Flood Dragon tried to capture a Second Order Red Rock Crab for Luo Chen, but it accidentally angered the sunbathing Red Rock Crab Tribe.

This time the Black Scaled Flood Dragon narrowly escaped back, its whole body as red as if it had been steamed.

Luo Chen exerted a great deal of effort to heal it.

Likewise, the Tianxuan Fighting Bird was not unscathed.

Knowing Luo Chen’s preference for the tender flesh of the Demon Spider Crab, it also tried to locate Demon Spider Crabs for Luo Chen while hunting.

However, such Demon Beasts were extremely wily.

Their webs were tough and nearly indestructible; even the agile Tianxuan Fighting Bird struggled to free itself once entangled.

If not for the Black Scaled Flood Dragon, desperate to repay the life-saving debt, holding up the Third Order Demonic Spider Crab and waiting for Luo Chen to come to the rescue, Tian Xuan might have fallen to the Demon Crab’s deadly pincers.

The repeated dangers over these years were foreseeable.

Such large-scale hunting of Second Order Demon Crabs could not leave the several mighty Demon Crab King Clans indifferent.

Especially since Luo Chen insisted on capturing them alive!
