Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1527: Chapter 567: Demonic Qi, Pure Demonic Qi!

From nothing to creating a Cultivation Technique?

For Luo Chen, it was impossible.

That required a certain understanding of the natural laws and the Law of the Origin.

Luo Chen estimated that at least a Nascent Soul Stage True Master would be needed to even attempt it initially.

Even then, ordinary early Nascent Soul Stage cultivators might not be able to achieve it.

But when it came to deducing Cultivation Techniques, with Luo Chen’s extensive knowledge today, it was not difficult.

The difference between the two was the journey from zero to one and from one to infinity.

Especially since Luo Chen possessed a powerful tool to verify the answers—the Attribute Panel.

When the deduction reached a certain point, he could use the system’s verification to confirm whether it was cultivable.

After understanding enough about his body post-Heavenly Star Transformation.

Luo Chen began to use the travel downtime to complete this task.

In the quiet cabin room, a man dressed in black seriously read the jade slip in front of him.

Sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding in agreement.

When he encountered difficult parts, he would take out new books from his storage ring.

Occasionally, he would actively consult Han Zhan in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Han Zhan had been keeping track of his progress, his gaze sweeping across the Cultivation Technique Books Luo Chen had extracted.

”Sky Roc Transformation”, ”Feather Transformation True Classic”, ”Origin of Qi”, ”Basic Understanding of Qi Refining”, ”Soul Refining True Classic”, ”Turtle Spirit Armor”...

The orders ranged from first to third.

The categories included Qi Refinement Techniques and Body Refinement Methods.

The various techniques targeted different aspects like gathering Spirit Qi, purification and transformation, enhancing Divine Soul Endowment... and even included several pill formulas!

Although these techniques were mostly copied instead of original texts.

Yet, the sheer number made Han Zhan considerably shocked.

Although he usually saw Luo Chen reading various books, he had thought it merely broadened his knowledge.

No matter what, Luo Chen’s years of cultivation barely exceeded a hundred years, excluding the naive twenty years before his start on the path of immortal cultivation, totaling around one hundred and twenty years old.

At his age, unexpectedly amassing so many techniques!

Moreover, it was not just simple collection like a normal immortal cultivator.

Clearly, Luo Chen had a deep understanding of most of the techniques here, which is why he instinctively thought of other techniques that offered similar solutions when he encountered difficulties.

Back and forth, unknowingly he actually managed to rough out a Cultivation Technique.

If it continued like this, maybe within a year and a half, he might actually...

The night deepened, and waves thrashed about.

Moonlight shone through the wooden window onto the man’s face, showing his focus and devotion.

Inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the elder watched this scene, his thoughts churning with mixed feelings.

...

Boom!

A loud sound startled Luo Chen from his contemplation.

He stood up, looking somewhat bewildered out the window, his Divine Consciousness spreading out, his brow slightly furrowed.

The wooden door was knocked.

”Come in!”

The door was pushed open, and Tian Xuan walked in respectfully, reporting the situation.

”There’s a group of Demon Beasts attacking the merchant team, numerous and more scaled than before.”

Luo Chen didn’t turn from the window, asking, ”How many times have the Demon Beasts attacked since we set out half a month ago?”

Tian Xuan answered without hesitation, ”This is the third time, and the types of Demon Beasts are no longer simple. There’s even the involvement of flying beasts and feathered demons.”

Luo Chen felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

A glimpse gives insight into the whole, just like one falling leaf indicates the coming of autumn.

The current state of the North Sea Cultivation World was increasingly worsening!

The direction Bai family’s merchant group was heading was from the exterior to the interior, towards the bustling Demon Territory.

In theory, the encounters with large groups of Demon Beasts should decrease.

But now it was the opposite.

You could see that the forces in the Demon Sea were gradually taking shape, beginning to counterattack the Demon Territory with a purpose.

Oh, calling it Demon Territory wasn’t quite suitable.

Because of the presence of Yuan Mo Sect previously, the human-occupied lands were called the Demon Territory, while the sea areas where the Demon Clan resided were known as the Demon Sea.

But now, the foremost power of the North Sea was the Canghai Righteous Alliance formed by a Great Power surnamed Li. It wasn’t right to crown it with ”demon” any longer, hence, many people have changed to calling the human-occupied lands ”Immortal Island”.

These were all minor details, most cultivators without vested interests didn’t care.

What Luo Chen thought was no wonder the Flying Swallow Merchant Team had been collecting reduced quantities of medicinal materials in recent years.

Demon Beasts rampaged, blocking routes, naturally making resource collection inconvenient.

If the human side doesn’t take some action later on, the Flying Swallow Islands might end up being isolated, suspended overseas.

”Leaving the Flying Swallow Islands was indeed the right decision,” Luo Chen mused.

While Luo Chen felt relieved, Tian Xuan asked softly, ”Master, should we help them? From my senses, among the Demon Beasts this time, several are troublesome for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”

Luo Chen’s brow lifted, his Divine Consciousness spread out.

Soon, he detected several formidable auras deep in the sea, each with Second Order Late Period cultivation level.

One on its own was okay; it could be resisted using the ship’s inherent array.

But several acting together, with Bai Xiang’s Middle Stage Foundation Establishment realm, absolutely wasn’t sufficient.

Luo Chen shook his head, ”We’ll see! The master isn’t worried yet, why should we be? The passage fee wasn’t paid for nothing. By the way, I taught you the cultivation tips for the Stealth Technique, how are the results lately?”

Tian Xuan was startled; she didn’t expect her master to suddenly care about her situation.

Immediately, she began to report her cultivation progress.

And on the deck, a fierce battle had been unfolding for quite some time.
