Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Jade Sword, Mandarin Ducks Axes_1

The Outer City is filled with Spirit Qi.

Whether it’s naturally abundant in heaven and earth, overflowing from the Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains, or seeping out from the Inner City, there is an amount of Spirit Qi to some extent.

Otherwise, so many rogue cultivators wouldn’t flock over from all places.

But the concentration of that Spirit Qi is barely enough for people to cultivate.

It’s truly just barely enough; Luo Chen had cultivated diligently before, and his progression bar would only slightly move after half a month.

That is to say, filling in the 100-point progression bar at the Third Level Qi Refinement Stage would take him a solid four or five years in total.

Moreover, he can’t recklessly use his Spirit Power, ensuring that every session of cultivation is beneficial.

As a matter of fact, the original host indeed gritted his teeth for more than three years, without advancing an inch in his cultivation level.

However, the issue of earning a living and not having enough time to cultivate also factored in.

It was Luo Chen who, after traversing, relied on the Proficiency Panel to painstakingly improve the proficiency of the Longevity Technique to Mastery Level, thereby alleviating this situation bit by bit.

But even under these circumstances, he was stuck on the progression bar for a long time at around seventy points.

In the end, Luo Chen, with the aid of a bottle of Qi Nurturing Pills along with the Perfection Level Longevity Technique, barely managed to make a breakthrough to the Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage.

However, had he been in the Inner City for cultivation, that duration could have been reduced by at least one third!

”This is the charm of the Spirit Vein!”

”And this is just the First Order Spirit Vein!”

”It’s hard to imagine how quickly those Sect Disciples, settling within the Second or Third Order Spirit Veins, would cultivate!”

Luo Chen exclaimed in awe three times in a row, showing the turbulence in his heart.

If he were in those locations, would he be able to cultivate the full Ninth Level Qi Refinement Stage before his lifespan ended?

Luo Chen didn’t know, all he was aware of was that his life had become a lot better than before.

What’s next, he must try his best to stay in the Inner City over the long term. This is the real place to cultivate.

Not a murky place such as the Outer City, mingled with soil and excrement, and occasionally reeking of blood.

However, this sentiment of his was rudely interrupted when the temperature got cold during midnight.

”How can it be so cold?”

”Even my Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage body is having trouble coping.”

”I must buy a quilt tomorrow!”

It’s no good; he couldn’t sleep because of the cold.

Luo Chen got up from the bed, deciding to do something to stay occupied.

Processing medicinal herbs wasn’t an option, due to the lack of tools and some ingredients.

Luo Chen took out the set of Jade Swords and tried imbuing them with Spirit Power.

Hum....

A neat humming noise resounded, but the seven flying swords didn’t move at all.

”Where did I go wrong?”

Upon thinking, he poured spirit power into each one of them, and it was only after he imbued the largest, a wooden sword, that all seven swords flamed with a dazzling green glow.

”So, the subsidiary blades are controlled by the main blade.”

After he realized this, Luo Chen’s interest soared.

Under his control, the seven flying swords encircled him leisurely, like floating cannons.

”Go!”

Luo Chen pointed at a corner of the room, and one of the subsidiary blades quickly flew out.

Like an arrow, the blade produced a humming sound and plunged into the ground, shrieking.

The speed was swift, and the force was not bad either.

It pierced through the green brick floor as easily as it would tofu.

And this was just one subsidiary blade, what if seven blades were launched at once?

What if seven blades formed an offensive and defensive formation?

Expressing his interest, Luo Chen awkwardly ran to the corner to pull out the embedded small wooden sword.

”I’ve got to buy a book on Attraction Technique, I can’t save on this expense!”

Yes, he hadn’t learned the Attraction Technique yet, so his Qi Power could only move straight.

It’s the kind of strategy of ”I only care about strength; you take care of the miracle.”

Soul Breaking Nail was good enough; it inherently had no way back.

However, this set of Jade Sword is about being able to advance or retreat freely, like a forest growing from a solitary tree.

If there isn’t the Attraction Technique to accompany it, it would be a waste of this magic tool.

After carefully handling the Jade Sword for a while, Luo Chen put it away in his storage bag with some reluctance.

To put it bluntly, Attraction Technique is actually a flexible use of spirit power. If one is familiar enough with spirit power, they can freely control various magic tools even without knowing this technique.

But obviously, Luo Chen doesn’t have

this proficiency and neither the understanding.

Or perhaps, the vast majority of lower order cultivators, couldn’t reach that level.

With their limited spirit power, how could they even get the chance to become familiar with it?

Hence, there was the significant achievement of the deeply cultivated individuals who created the Attraction Technique for lower order cultivators.

Luo Chen didn’t play with the Jade Sword anymore, as he had other things to polish his time

Lightness skills and reading!

The room has not been furnished, so there’s plenty of space.

Carefree Wandering is not a lightness skill that only pursues speed. At higher levels, it emphasizes being carefree and unhurried.

Luo Chen moved around the room, either on the roof or on the ground, trying to restrain his strength with every move.

Compared with the past, when he was running wildly, this seemed to present a different kind of understanding.

In his hand, was the ”Records of the Customs of Six Realms”, of which Luo Chen had only read half.

What he knew most about were the Yu Ding Sword Sect, and Hehuan Sect.

After all, one is the Ascendant Sect of the locale, and the other has more people who impart romantic stories.

”The famed killer of Tian Fan City, Mu Qingcheng, possesses the Mandarin Ducks Axes. A rare powerful female among Golden Core cultivators, she possesses two Mandarin Ducks Axes with the power of Heaven and Earth Reversal and Yin Yang Separation.”

Luo Chen found it fascinating.

Six ascendant sects in the six realms of the Far East, one sect known for tool casting, was Tian Fan City.

Wanbao Pavilion in The Great River District, was owned by Tian Fan City.

This sect was extremely proficient in casting tools. In addition to common magic tools, they particularly liked to cast various exotic weapons.

Over the years, they have cast six powerful exotic magic weapons.

Tian Fan City conferred them to six Golden Core cultivators, and over the years, they have created a formidable reputation.

Just like the one he’s reading about now, Mu Qingcheng with her Mandarin Ducks Axes. She established her foundation in ten years, formed her core in a hundred years. Though she didn’t participate in the open war, she has made a name for herself among Golden Core stage cultivators.

Relying on the Mandarin Ducks Axes, she has opened up prospects for Tian Fan City’s business in the territory outside of the Six Realms of the Far East.

After reading about this female cultivator’s exploits, Luo Chen, while marvelling at her greatness, had an insight.

”So, even Golden Core period experts have to work hard to earn Spirit Stones!”

It turns out that what he is doing now is no different from them.

In other words, he is equivalent to a Golden Core period expert!

...

Squeak!

This compound, with its one entrance and four courtyards, has a very traditional layout. The main gate and the reverse room are adjacent to each other.

Thus, when Luo Chen got up early in the morning and prepared to go out for shopping, he happened to run into Caiyi, who had just returned from a night shift.

”Good morning!”

”Good morning, yawn.....” Caiyi stretched out lazily, her slender waist attracting attention.

”You came back so late?”

Caiyi said helplessly, ”Recently business at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is excessively good, those of us who dance and sing are naturally the ones to suffer.”

Excessively good?

Hasn’t the business of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion always been good?

Looking at Luo Chen, who was about to head out, Caiyi asked curiously, ”Are you going out? By the way, I haven’t asked you what you do. How did you manage to live in the Inner City with such wealth at the Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage?”

”I refine pills, usually setting up stalls at the Rogue Cultivators Market in the south of the city. If you need anything, I could help you bring it back.” Luo Chen replied.

”A pill refiner!”

The sleepiness in Caiyi’s eyes vanished in an instant.

Her neighbor was actually this incredible.

”Let’s chat later, I have things to do today.”

Luo Chen waved and hastily left.

Caiyi leaned on the door, watching Luo Chen’s departing figure, deep in thought.
