Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1513: Chapter 562: Mentor, do you think I can achieve Core Formation? (Seeking monthly passes)_2

Those pains are just stabs, brief agonies.

Yet the absorption of the Four-Order Black Emperor Ointment is like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, bringing about incessant pain bit by bit.

From the toes to the skin, from the flesh and membranes to the bones and organs, even the bone marrow and brain marrow seem to throb in pain.

”No wonder such a Spirit Medicine can’t be widely disseminated, and can only be used in creating puppets.”

”The scarcity of materials is one reason, but the agony during the refinement process is unbearable for humans, except for senseless puppets!”

Luo Chen gasped for air, feeling a trace of fear in his heart.

He almost didn’t make it just now.

If he had fainted, not only would a portion of Four-Order Black Emperor Ointment have been wasted, but his physique training would have been incomplete, potentially leaving a weak spot in his strong body.

If discovered by an enemy during combat, it would be a fatal flaw between life and death.

Looking at the black jar in front of him, Luo Chen fell into a brief silence.

After a while, he carefully stored it away.

”With my current physique, I can barely endure it, but it consumes too much of my spirit. After refining one portion, I am unable to do anything for a short period.”

”Next, it’s better to mainly use Third-Order Black Emperor Ointment for physique training.”

”The Four-Order Black Emperor Ointment still needs to be refined, but it can be stored for now, and used once my Body Refinement progress stalls.”

After making the decision, Luo Chen performed a Cleaning Technique on himself.

Looking at his dry, rough body, he frowned.

Casting a Water Mirror Technique, he looked at his flushed face.

Though still handsome, it was no longer graceful and suave, but rather more rugged.

Luo Chen was not a vain person, and he felt no anxiety about his appearance or physique.

He observed himself in such detail, analyzing why these changes had occurred.

Were they caused by the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra”?

The large amount of True Flame Pills he consumed?

Or the transformation caused by the Black Emperor Ointment during Physique Training.

Or perhaps, a combination of the three resulting in bodily changes?

If the changes were beneficial, all was well.

But if they were detrimental to Dao Cultivation, he would have to stop and closely examine his current cultivation method.

After analyzing, Luo Chen eventually shook his head.

Holding his hand, feeling the continuous surge of strength under his weakened physique, Luo Chen’s Dao Heart did not waver.

”It must be correct!”

”Changes in appearance are common side effects of practicing exceptional techniques.”

”In the past, when refining Prosperity and Decline True Fire, I even had white hair, but it all recovered later.”

After muttering, Luo Chen put on a loose white Daoist Robe and walked out of the Cultivation Room.

At the hall, he deactivated the Sound-isolating array method and Xu Muxian walked in.

Seeing her unstable breath, Luo Chen pinched a Spiritual Secret and seriously cast a Spring Breeze Rain Technique.

The Technique enveloped her body, and Xu Muxian who had been previously hurt by a shout, suddenly felt as if bathed in a spring breeze, her entire body felt lighter.

Respectfully, she presented a Cold Jade Tray.

”Master, this is the Jade Dew Pill refined last time, its potency has stabilized and can now be stored.”

With a wave of his sleeve, the Cold Jade Tray floated into his hands.

Luo Chen inspected it carefully, showing a satisfied expression.

Indeed, his Pill Refinement Technique had not diminished, and the Jade Dew Pill, which he hadn’t practised in a long time, was still precisely controlled.

Even the success rate of Top Grade Jade Dew Pills was now controlled to around twenty percent, far surpassing the system’s limit.

Storing this batch of Jade Dew Pills, Luo Chen stepped out of the hall and leisurely strolled on Yao Yue Island.

Reaching the lakeside, he extended his Divine Consciousness and slightly sensed the refinement progress of Black King.

The body of a Cliff Serpent, even after being struck by Heavenly Thunder, still contained massive energy; it wasn’t something Black King could refine in a short time.

He might as well lend a helping hand.

Luo Chen raised his hand, pouring a bottle of liquid into the lake.

A muffled sound came from the lake, and the water formed whirlpools, sucking in the liquid.

Xu Muxian, following closely, watched this scene, his eyes twitching uncontrollably.

That liquid, undoubtedly, was a second-order Top Grade elixir!

Master was so generous, casually giving it to a Spirit Beast to consume.

This made him respect Luo Chen even more.

”How is my spirit fowl doing now?” Luo Chen casually asked.

Xu Muxian respectfully answered, ”Lord Tian Xuan dislikes cramped spaces, now residing on Sea-viewing Cliff, occasionally going out to the sea to hunt. Yao Yue senior also frequently sends people to bring her fresh wild animals for her enjoyment.”

Luo Chen chuckled, ”Tian Xuan lives quite comfortably.”

Clapping his hands, Luo Chen continued his stroll on Yao Yue Island, pondering over some matters.

The ten-year deadline was approaching, and his preparations were becoming increasingly sufficient.

Once all the Demon Crab Kings are refined into Four-Order Black Emperor Ointment, he could free up his hands to refine a batch of high-quality Starry Pills.

Then, he could use the Starry Pills to deal with those Golden Core Cultivators.

As for the True Flame Pills, it’s best kept for personal use!

Apart from that, there was one more thing to consider.

That was the Demon Emperor’s Molten Rock Carapace!

This item had made the Five Great King Crab Clans covetous, even willing to wage war over it; it was certainly a top-tier Precious Item.

However, after owning it and studying it several times, apart from its tough material, he could discern nothing else.

According to Han Zhan’s words, the importance of this item lies in the drop of ”Xuan Turtle Essence Blood” it contains.
