Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 197: Chapter 121 Golden Diamond Turns into White Jade, Eighth Level Qi Refinement (Seeking Subscriptions)_3

Luo Chen was stunned.

Can one discern the level of achievement in Dao of Alchemy by scent?

Indeed, there was no smell of medicine or fire on him, for he had dusted them all off using the Cleaning Technique.

That slight Pill Qi was intentionally left by him.

Gu Caiyi had been consulted about this in the past and her response made him unworried.

Yet, he never expected that Steward Miao’s eyesight was not only extraordinary, but his sense of smell was also extremely sharp.

”Young people can be really impressive!”

Steward Miao sighed, turning his attention to Mi Shuhua.

”Friend Mi, your Broken Mountain Gang indeed flourishes in talents. I’m afraid it will just get better and better in the future.”

Mi Shuhua showed a smile, ”Then we should also receive some help from you, Friend Miao!”

”Of course, of course, but I also request you to take the matter I asked for seriously.”

”We will definitely do our utmost!”

”I will not bother you any longer. Goodbye!”

Steward Miao opened his mouth and spat out a Sword Pill. It then rapidly grew in the wind, turning into a three-foot long blade in the blink of an eye.

He leapt onto it, swiftly flying away.

This was a textbook example of the Sword Control Technique!

Watching this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but twitch his eyelids.

He doesn’t even mind that it is dirty!

Flying by stepping on it, and probably having to swallow it back into his Dantian for nourishment later.

After Steward Miao left, an awkward atmosphere settled amongst the three that remained.

This awkwardness mainly stemmed from the way Mi Shuhua was looking at Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan kept his head lowered at first, but under the burning gaze, he slowly raised his head and stared back.

It made Luo Chen tense up.

Mi Shuhua furrowed his brows, facing Wang Yuan’s firm gaze, his eyes fixed firmly on him.

Was it an instant?

Or millennia?

Luo Chen only felt the pressure mounting, as if a mountain was pressing down, the time seemed to be passing particularly slow.

After a long while, he heard a sigh.

”If you ever need anything, feel free to come to me.”

As he spoke, Mi Shuhua had already left the courtyard.

That’s it?

Just like that?

Neither the anticipated confrontation, nor some cunning scheme materialized.

This left Luo Chen somewhat bewildered.

Smack!

Feeling a heavy slap on his shoulder, bringing a wave of pain, Luo Chen turned his head to see that Wang Yuan looked pale, panting heavily as he leaned on Luo Chen’s shoulder.

Meeting Luo Chen’s puzzled gaze, he forced a smile.

”The divine consciousness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is indeed overwhelming.”

Luo Chen’s face displayed disbelief as if he realized something.

”Brother Wang, you couldn’t have been using your consciousness to resist the divine consciousness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!”

Qi refining cultivates the mind, body refining cultivates the will.

This was something Wang Yuan had told Luo Chen during their idle chats.

Luo Chen just assumed he was exaggerating the role of will.

But what just happened gave him a huge shock.

High order cultivators could probe the netherworld and explore the profound with a moment’s divine perception.

But Ancient Body Refiner also had unyielding will as hard as steel.

What Wang Yuan did was clearly using his iron-like will, tempered through his life, to resist directly against the divine consciousness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The result was obvious: Mi Shuhua won.

But Mi Shuhua was a genuine Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, while Wang Yuan was only at the Eighth Level of Qi Refinement, just like himself.

Even if his physical body was considered to be close to Foundation Establishment, it was merely close.

...

Inside the quiet room, a Sound Isolation Talisman was activated.

Seated cross-legged on the ground, Wang Yuan’s pale face gradually regained its natural hue.

Luo Chen sat quietly to the side, waiting patiently for the other party to regain consciousness.

After a long time, Wang Yuan opened his eyes.

”Indeed, it’s not easy to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Just a glance from Uncle Mi Shuhua almost stole my spirit. If I had stooped, I’m afraid I would be stuck at the stage before Foundation Establishment for life.”

”Is it that serious?” Luo Chen couldn’t help but speak.

Wang Yuan seriously said, ”A true man should be able to bend and stretch, keeping his heroic nature. However, when making real choices, he must adhere to his original intentions, otherwise if his will is broken and he stoops, he will never be able to stand up again.”

This statement seemed to have an allusion.

Luo Chen felt a little uneasy; he was one of those who could bend and stretch.

However, it seemed that he had not encountered anything that really caused him to ”choose” in his life.

If that time really comes, could he like Wang Yuan, raise his head, stand upright, and face everything calmly?

As for this answer, Luo Chen did not know.

Wang Yuan also seemed not willing to dwell on this topic. He immediately moved on to the topic of the Blood Ignition Pill.

”The results of the pill test have come out.”

”After the Human Clan cultivator takes it, they will not lose their sanity, but they will become more irritable.”

”In addition, the other effects of the Blood Ignition Pill are the same as the ones you tested on Demon Beasts.”

The same!

In other words, the effects of stimulating the muscle’s blood essence to produce a large amount of Spirit Qi, resulting in a 30% increase in strength in a short period of time, are still there.

Of course, the side effects should also be about the same.

Luo Chen was more interested in another point, ”What about the duration?”

”Half a stick of incense!” Wang Yuan thought for a moment, his brow furrowed, ”But it also depends on the realm. At that time, I grabbed a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi refinement for the experiment. Maybe his physique was not good enough, after using the Ascendant Grade Magic Tool, the time was greatly reduced.”

”There is another Blood Ignition Pill on me that I didn’t dare to use.”

Then how did you figure out it was half a stick of incense’s time!?

Luo Chen grinned, without enough control groups, it’s hard for him to determine the exact duration.

Wang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and tentatively asked, ”Can it be mass produced?”

Luo Chen was curious, ”Isn’t a few backups enough? Why mass produce?”

”I might try to use this pill to breakthrough at the critical moment.”

”Don’t!”

Luo Chen hurriedly reached out to stop him, ”This thing is obviously a battle pill and not suitable for cultivation. Don’t get any wrong ideas. If push comes to shove, I’ll think of something else later, do more research on the Blood Evil Qi Pill Formula, and deduce another pill for you to use for cultivation.”

Wang Yuan stared at Luo Chen deeply, his lips pressed tightly together.

After a long silence, he finally spoke.

”Then, I’ll have to trouble you.”

Luo Chen shrugged, it wasn’t a big deal, it would just take a bit more time.

Even if he really deduced it, the raw materials needed for alchemy would definitely be provided by Wang Yuan.

Pill Refiner, after all!

These are all their responsibilities. How else would they achieve such high status and great popularity?

After thinking about it, Luo Chen felt something was off.

He asked Wang Yuan curiously, ”Brother Wang, why do I get the feeling that you’re in a hurry?”

As soon as the words came out, Luo Chen became more certain of his conjecture.

Yes, Wang Yuan was in a hurry!

The Wang Yuan he knew from the past was quietly cultivating, doing the dirty work for the Broken Mountain Gang for ten years.

But this past year, his personality changed drastically, repeatedly catching people’s attention.

Whether it was making a name for the Broken Mountain Gang, fighting on the Dao Debate Platform, or alone in charge of certain matters-

All of these did not fit with the Wang Yuan that Luo Chen imagined.

Of course, perhaps Wang Yuan was originally like this, only initially entering the Immortal Cultivation World, he chose to have a low profile.

However, the things that happened later made Luo Chen feel strange.

Rushing with a Second-Order Pill Formula and asking Luo Chen to refine it when he could only make the Allure Pill.

Now, he is trying to use the Blood Ignition Pill, which damages the original source, to break through the bottleneck.

The prominent point is the sense of ”urgency”.

Facing Luo Chen’s curiosity, Wang Yuan spoke softly, ”How could I not be in a hurry?”

”Do you remember the sentence that Steward Miao didn’t finish last time?”

Luo Chen recalled the scene at that time, there was not much conversation, but the two Foundation Establishment cultivators put a lot of pressure on him.

After careful recall, he remembered that sentence.

”It’s a pity?”

”It’s a pity, there is no longevity!”
