Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 874: Chapter 356: Bringing Back the Dead, Heart Inquiry by Ghosts and Gods

After burning incense and cleansing himself, Gu Caiyi sat quietly opposite Luo Chen, feeling refreshed.

Her large eyes fluttered with a strong mix of hope and nervousness.

”Can I really reshape my Dantian?”

Luo Chen nodded gently.

”This elixir has the power to bring the dead back to life; reshaping the Dantian is a simple matter.”

”I originally planned to let you take it after you had achieved Body Refinement Completion.”

”But now, in this troubled time, if drastic changes occur and I’m unable to take care of myself, I’m afraid I won’t be able to look after you. Therefore, the sooner you recover your cultivation level, the sooner you establish your foundation, the sooner you will have the power to protect yourself.”

Gu Caiyi’s expression became solemn.

She was no ignorant child; Luo Chen had stopped keeping certain things from her after her body recovered.

Thus, she was aware that the Luo Tian Creed was currently going through a difficult period.

If she established her foundation, she could alleviate some of Luo Chen’s pressure.

Yuan Xiaoyue was still somewhat naive.

And if Sima Huiniang could do it, why couldn’t she, Gu Caiyi, achieve the same!

”Don’t worry, even though you haven’t reached Body Refinement Completion. But, in this half a year, I have become extremely familiar with your body. After you take the medicine, I will protect you throughout the process,” Luo Chen said.

Gu Caiyi nodded firmly.

”I believe in you!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly and then patted her shoulder with one hand.

Gu Caiyi turned around, her back facing him.

He didn’t let her take the Revival Pill immediately.

Luo Chen’s smile faded, and his ten fingers moved like butterflies threading flowers, casting one after another Spiritual Secret.

The direction of the Spirit Power was unfamiliar, nothing like any Technique Luo Chen had used before.

In fact, this was a Second Order Technique carefully selected by Luo Chen in the past six months from among the many cultivation manuals he had gathered from the Luo Tian Creed.

Or more precisely, it was a Medical Technique.

Spring Breeze Into Rain Technique!

It was a Water Type Healing Technique that wasn’t difficult to cultivate, but it required high demands on the cultivator’s Divine Soul.

However, this prerequisite was almost nonexistent for Luo Chen.

With his Divine Soul Endowment comparable to an Eighth-Level Foundation Establishment, cultivating this technique was as natural as water flowing along a channel.

Now, as he kept applying the technique,

Streams of pure Spirit Power, like spring rain, entered Gu Caiyi’s body.

The Spirit Rain fell in torrents.

Just as it was about to start healing, Luo Chen forcefully suppressed it with his Spirit Consciousness, waiting for the right moment to use it.

After casting the Spring Breeze Into Rain Technique eighteen times, Luo Chen finally stopped.

”Phew...”

After Luo Chen let out a long breath, he patted Gu Caiyi’s shoulder again.

She turned around, her eyes glistening as she looked at Luo Chen.

”Take it now! Don’t worry, I’m here with you,” he reassured her.

”Okay.”

Without any hesitation, full of immense trust in Luo Chen, Gu Caiyi tilted her head back and swallowed the Revival Pill.

The next moment.

Her complexion changed drastically!

An intense pain from the depths of her soul burst forth instantly.

Not only that, but her body began to twitch uncontrollably, and blue veins emerged from her fair and rounded skin, looking like blue snakes.

Pain!

It was too painful!

”Hold your breath, concentrate, don’t resist!”

”Do not attempt to mobilize the Spirit Power accumulated in your body.”

”Stay awake, absolutely do not faint!”

Luo Chen’s words echoed, word by word, like a grand bell striking deep within her mind.

The woman bit her lip and slowly lifted her head.

In just a short time, her eyes had become bloodshot.

She managed to flash a smile.

Struggling to open her mouth to say something, she made an inhuman noise under the intense pain.

Creak... creak...

Luo Chen’s expression was extremely serious; his powerful Divine Soul at that moment completely entered her body.

He passed through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the acupoints, heading straight to where the Dantian was located.

After more than half a year of meticulous care,

he was now as familiar with this body as one could be.

At this moment, under his gaze, the shattered Dantian area, engulfed by the surging effects of the elixir, suddenly broke apart!

Destroyed to be rebuilt, it was broken only to stand again!

It was the true meaning of bringing back the dead to life!

But while destruction was easy, rebuilding was incredibly difficult.

As the Dantian shattered, Gu Caiyi’s body made a thunderous noise, and she started to fall backward.

However, before she could fall, she was caught by a strong hand.

”Get through this step, and everything will get better!”

With those words ringing in her ears, Gu Caiyi, nearly fainting from the pain, seemed to regain a bit of vitality.

Right!

She had endured so many years, what was one more step.

If Gu Caiyi fell asleep now, she would never see him again.

Was she willing to let that happen?

...

The reshaping of the Dantian was not a matter of a moment or half an hour.

Such intense pain was simply unbearable for ordinary Qi Refinement Cultivators.

It was only because Gu Caiyi regularly took Tongyou Pills that she had elevated her Divine Soul Endowment to a level comparable to early-stage Foundation Establishment.

But under such torments, her physical body could not have possibly endured.

Ultimately, it was because her Body Refining Level wasn’t high enough.

But Luo Chen had anticipated this.

In the face of this situation, Luo Chen took a deep breath and pointed out swiftly like lightning.

In an instant, he touched eighteen of Gu Caiyi’s acupoints.

The next moment, Gu Caiyi’s whole body began to thrash violently in his arms, like a wounded white serpent.

The pain was still there, but it no longer concentrated at one point; instead, it spread across the eighteen acupoints.

In this way, although the pain persisted, it was no longer unbearable.

This was Luo Chen using ”Ming God’s Divine Cleanse” to stimulate key acupoints on her body.

To prevent her from being overwhelmed, Luo Chen specifically stimulated only eighteen points.

The complete ”Ming God’s Divine Cleanse” requires stimulating thirty-six major acupoints in one go.

Moreover, Luo Chen has a backup plan for this!

”Activate!”

Following Luo Chen’s soft command.

The previously suppressed and hidden eighteen currents of Spring Breeze Into Rain technique’s Spirit Qi suddenly dispersed.

Just like a spring breeze and rain, it soaked into the eighteen acupoints.

Tingling and tickling.

The turmoil within the beauty in his arms gradually ceased.

Meanwhile, the reconstruction of the Dantian was progressively completed during this process.

After a while.

This step was finished.

And the next phase was no easier.

Luo Chen straightened up the other’s body, gazed at her, and transmitted his Spirit Consciousness.

”Circulate your Natal Qi Technique!”

”Don’t worry about the meridians’ tolerance, try to direct all the Spirit Qi accumulated in your body entirely into the Dantian.”

”Quickly!”

While he spoke, his Soul Snatch Technique fiercely activated.

His eyes deep and soul profound.

Gu Caiyi seemed like a puppet, reflexively circulating her Natal Qi Technique under his coercion.

Being pulled.

The vast Spirit Qi previously hoarded in various parts of her body, like swifts returning to their nest, or rivers flowing into the sea, surged into the newly rebuilt Dantian in unison.

This process appeared smooth.

But the pain it inflicted on the cultivator herself was second only to the prior reconstruction of the Dantian.

It felt as though a piece of iron, once exploded and embedded into a person’s body.

It was painful at the moment, but if not quickly removed, one would get accustomed to it over the years.

As if it integrated into one’s being.

But if someone attempted to remove this piece of iron several years later.

It would be no different from cutting out flesh!

Now, the Spirit Qi that had been hoarded for years was that piece of iron!

With Gu Caiyi’s own abilities, she certainly couldn’t reach this extent.

Therefore, she needed Luo Chen, the ”surgeon”, to help perform the operation.

The Soul Snatch Technique was the method Luo Chen used to perform this surgery.

At this moment, Gu Caiyi’s circulation of her Natal Qi Technique was almost under his semi-control.

This half-year, he had studied her Qi Refinement Techniques countless times.

Fortunately.

Everything was still going smoothly!

Time slipped away unnoticed.

As the morning sun rose and set, and night fell profoundly.

The door of the cultivation room suddenly opened.

Bai Meiling in the living room instantly opened her eyes, watching Luo Chen carrying the unconscious Gu Caiyi out.

”Master, was it successful?”

Luo Chen nodded, looking exhausted.

He placed Gu Caiyi back on the bed and covered her with a blanket, then walked out.

”For the next few days, she will likely be in a comatose state, please watch over her for me.”

Xiao Ling nodded eagerly, ”Mhm, I will, Master.”

Luo Chen smiled and ruffled her head, then turned and entered his own resting room.

At this moment.

He looked tired, but he didn’t rest immediately; instead, he took out a bronze mirror.

Looking at the bronze mirror, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

Gu Caiyi’s injury had been healed.

The Dantian had been rebuilt and even though the meridians were roughed up by the reverse flow of Spirit Power, under the remaining power of the Revival Pill, they would naturally heal over time.

But!

Gu Caiyi now had a complication.

It was that the barrier of her newly rebuilt Dantian was too thick.

When it came time to break through to the Foundation Establishment, to break it again would not be so easy.

Similar to the Pill Poison Barrier Luo Chen faced in the past.

That time, Luo Chen relied on his strong physique and unwavering willpower, consuming five portions of Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine in quick succession, before he fortuitously succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

But Gu Caiyi didn’t have such a foundation.

Therefore, her attempt to hit Foundation Establishment Stage after recovering from the injury would still be fraught with difficulty.

Feeling the bronze mirror in his hand, Luo Chen had an idea stirring within him.

”When complete, this item could assist a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator in simulating the Core Formation process.”

”Although it is broken now and can’t achieve that extent.”

”But if it can help a Qi Refinement Finalization Cultivator simulate the Foundation Establishment process, I wonder if it would work?”

After he saved Xing Zonghan.

The latter gave Luo Chen all the texts related to the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror.

Only afterward did Luo Chen learn the correct usage of the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror.

The Lan Ke Black and White Chess is the key.

But also, it required the presence of higher-realm cultivators to monitor and interrupt the process at a critical moment, to prevent the simulation from going too deep.

Previously, Luo Chen’s prolonged dream of over two hundred years was precisely because there were no elders to watch over him, causing him to be deeply trapped.

”I have cultivated the Lan Ke Black and White Chess for many years, and even if I can’t bring out a hundred percent of its effect, it’s more than enough to safeguard a Qi Refinement Cultivator.”

”With the strength of my divine soul, forcibly interrupting the Qi Refinement Cultivator’s simulation would be simple.”

”If I can figure out the most suitable method, I can then help Caiyi successfully establish her foundation.”

”No!”

”Even better, I could apply this method to other Luo Tian Creed cultivators who need to establish their foundations.”

”By then, using the Foundation Establishment Pills exchanged with the merits from the Accumulation Thunder Mountain and mixing them with the Emperor Liquor I personally refine, combined with this method, I’ll have the chance to covertly create a large number of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!”

Thinking of this, Luo Chen’s breath quickened with excitement.

Having seen the Qingdan Valley casually fielding hundreds to thousands of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he was discontent with just having a few in the Luo Tian Creed.

If his forces had a large number of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

Regardless of what he did, things would be much easier.

Open a branch? Seize territory? Participate in wars?

Perhaps even start his own sect later!

Stroking the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror in his hand, Luo Chen realized why, despite it being only a Lower Grade Magic Item, it could be listed alongside the Ascendant Grade Monster-Locking Tower as one of the two Sect Stabilizing Magic Items of the Ghost God Valley!

”However, for now, it’s best to get a good night’s sleep!”

Rubbing his forehead, Luo Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and fell into a deep sleep.
