Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 147: Chapter 106 Unsettled, Change Will Come (Seeking subscription)_1

Luo Chen’s confidence stemmed from the Four Symbols Tripod.

But it wasn’t just the Four Symbols Tripod!

On the Attribute Panel, his proficiency with the Jade Marrow Pill had unknowingly reached the Perfection Level!

Upon reflection, his progress hadn’t been fast.

From the time he started refining the Jade Marrow Pill to now, several months had passed.

Whether it was manpower or pill refinement materials, the Broken Mountain Gang was providing them at full throttle.

If he hadn’t considered concealing his true pill refinement level, the proficiency of the Jade Marrow Pill might have already reached the Grandmaster Level.

The Perfection Level proficiency ensured a stable pill formation rate of forty percent, with all the pills produced being of medium grade.

Luo Chen deliberately controlled it to reveal a medium-grade pill formation rate of fifty percent.

The extra medium-grade Jade Marrow Pills were perfect for him to embezzle, satisfying his daily Qi Power consumption.

At noon, Mi Junping personally came to the Pill Hall as expected.

She stared intently at Luo Chen, attempting to find some resemblance between him and herself or Mi Shuhua.

Eventually, she gave up on the idea that Luo Chen was Mi Shuhua’s illegitimate child.

However, the monthly treatment of four Dusting Pills and one box of Calming Incense really made her heart ache!

Even her own daughter, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, hadn’t enjoyed such treatment.

Luo Chen simply ignored her gloomy thoughts. After a good rest, he went into pill refining mode again in the afternoon.

He still needed to become proficient with the Four Symbols Tripod, so he didn’t let anyone else help him today.

The success rate in the afternoon wasn’t high, the four portions of raw materials produced only twenty Jade Marrow Pills, the rest were all waste beads.

Luo Chen secretly collected ten of them, leaving the rest to the Pill Cultivation Expert.

If Mi Shuhua knew about Luo Chen’s embezzlement, he’d probably wield the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel and give him a harsh blow.

...

At midnight, a figure followed the mine tunnel down to the depths of the earth.

Dang!

The Lower Grade Pill Furnace Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace fell into the Spirit Vein Cave. Luo Chen took out some high-quality firewood he had stolen from the Pill Hall.

He lit a fire and began to boil the Nourishing Origin Liquid.

Looking at the blazing fire, Luo Chen subconsciously touched his chest.

A whole month had passed since he had broken through the Seventh Level Qi Refinement.

His meridian injuries, with the aid of the Deficiency Repairing Meridian Fluid, were all healed.

Not only that, but perhaps due to a blessing in disguise, he felt his meridians were more robust and more expanded than before.

Even if he had to withstand the enormous wave of Spirit Power that he had during the previous breakthrough, he felt no pressure at all.

This was good!

The more robust the meridians, the more elixirs can be refined on usual times.

Even if they can’t be absorbed, they can be temporarily stored in wider meridians than before.

This was precisely why he had embezzled a large number of medium-grade Jade Marrow Pills.

”Maybe I shouldn’t have been so greedy with the medium-grade Jade Marrow Pills?”

Luo Chen thought of drug resistance.

”Eat fewer lower and medium-grade Jade Marrow Pills, endure for a few more days, then secretly refine Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pills for my own cultivation. Wouldn’t that be better?”

While thinking about these things, he had unknowingly finished boiling the Nourishing Origin Liquid.

He took off his clothes, barefoot and stepped into it.

He was once again stewing himself in a pot!

Once inside, he bathed in the medicinal liquid.

After absorbing enough medicinal power and feeling his Qi and blood were extremely vigorous, Luo Chen took out an incense burner.

”This was the birthday present Tang Quan gave me!”

”He’s quite considerate. Maybe I can consider letting him take over some of the Allure Pill refinement work in the future?”

With a faint smile, he lit a sprig of Calming Incense.

Confronting the sweltering temperature, Luo Chen swallowed a Dusting Pill, circulated the Longevity Technique, and his mind receded like the Cold Pool Abyss.

Under such dedicated cultivation, a night passed in a blink of an eye.

Upon opening his eyes, Luo Chen fell into contemplation.

At the Sixth Level Qi Refinement, two Qi Nurturing Pills a day, along with a dose of Nourishing Origin Liquid, several Lower Grade Jade Marrow Pills, and then seven cycles of the Longevity Technique bolstered by the Calming Incense.

Here in the Spirit Vein Cave, one cultivation session could increase two progress bars.

Now, he was at the Seventh Level Qi Refinement!

The Qi Nurturing Pill had been replaced by the Dusting Pill, which had double the effect, still taking two a day.

A dose of Nourishing Origin Liquid, the Lower Grade Jade Marrow Pill had been replaced with the Medium Grade, with the Longevity Technique still circulating seven times.

It could be said that Luo Chen had made his utmost effort to improve his cultivation resource allocation.

However, a night had passed.

His progress bar had barely jumped from [1/100] to [2/100].

”Even though my resources have nearly doubled, my efficiency has actually halved.”

”Is this the longer time required for cultivation as the level gets higher?”

Luo Chen let out a sigh, but he wasn’t dejected at all.

In fact, he had anticipated long ago that the Eighth Level Qi Refinement, the Ninth Level Qi Refinement might become more challenging, and he had thought about this.

It was a simple principle, if late-stage Qi Refinement cultivation weren’t tough, then out of the tens of thousands of Rogue Cultivators in The Great River District, there wouldn’t be only a few hundred people.

And among these few hundred people, most were stuck at the Seventh Level Qi Refinement.

Normally, albeit he could see Sikong Shoujia, Qin Liangchen, and others at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement, they could no longer be considered ordinary Rogue Cultivators.

Every one of them held titles, positions, and even properties in the Broken Mountain Gang.

In contrast, the cultivators in the Medicine Hall and the internal cultivators in Pill Hall represented the average level of The Great River District.

After leaving the Spirit Vein Cave, Luo Chen, as usual, piled up stones to hide the traces.

When he was about to go up in the middle of the mine tunnel, Luo Chen suddenly thought of a problem.

”What if something happens, and I’m trapped down here?”
