Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2191: Chapter 804: Cang Long’s Wounds, Reforging the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror?

This time, however, Jueqing Fairy took the initiative to teach the Luo Tian Sect cultivators how to reasonably use talismans.

She was accustomed to interacting with Luo Chen based on a transactional model.

But this time, Luo Chen saved her senior sister without asking for any reward, which made her a bit unsettled.

Jueqing Fairy herself was a master in the Talisman Dao, and she once gave Luo Chen a Third Order Ice Divine Talisman and Profound Ice Talisman, showing her capabilities.

Under her guidance, the Luo Tian Sect cultivators quickly learned some techniques and experiences for using talismans.

How to activate in advance but not unleash, how to quickly release without diminishing the talisman’s power, how to use various talismans in combination, and so on.

The things that Luo Chen had previously struggled to obtain were brought to him through this manner.

”Is it really this simple?”

Luo Chen looked at the Fierce Sun Talisman in his hand, being able to sense the power within, ready to explode at any moment.

To activate a talisman traditionally required infusing it with qi power and control it with divine consciousness to fly towards an enemy, trying to cause no harm to oneself.

But according to Jueqing Fairy’s method, he just needed to separate a mana seed in advance and attach it to the talisman, activating it with a thought of divine consciousness when needed.

This omitted the seemingly short, yet prolonged process of infusing qi power during battle.

Of course, some things seemed simple, like a thin veil covering a window.

But without the reminder of an experienced person, one might spend a lifetime unable to pierce that veil.

Moreover, attaching a mana seed also required special techniques, not just simply infusing a streak of qi power ahead of time.

”This is merely Jueqing Fairy’s personal insight. I imagine Shen Fu Sect must have even more exquisite techniques for controlling talismans!”

Luo Chen sighed and put away the Fierce Sun Talisman.

Considering his current realm, these were just minor techniques, to add a little here and there.

His focus remained on the previous plan.

Ling Fengzi’s elixir could wait.

His reputation was already established, and refining too quickly might lead others to ask him for Pill Refinement.

That would only take up too much of his time.

Extending the time for Pill Refinement also highlighted how arduous this task was for him.

Currently, he’s planning to refine Caiyi’s natal magic item before anything else.

With the blueprint and the main materials, this matter was not difficult for him, especially since he had the Primordial Chaos Tripod!

Back then, when refining the Xuan Chen Armor, this treasure showed incredibly unique effects, with an exceptionally high success rate.

Later, Luo Chen realized that its efficacy came from a drop of blood from the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch.

Upon entering the Land of Fallen Demons, he understood more clearly why the blood of a Demon Monarch had such against-the-heaven effects, as the opponent was talented in every aspect, with heaven-reaching skills in artifact refinement.

In this light, although Luo Chen seemingly only inherited the Dao of Alchemy, how could he not have acquired a smidgen of the Path of Artifacts?

”Nine Nether Charm Python, aligned with the water element.”

A wisp of qi power seeped into the major vein, faintly stimulating the blood energy.

The blood’s aroma was delicious and captivating, making one intoxicated.

”It carries an enchanting fragrance that can confuse the sense of smell of a cultivator, and even affects divine consciousness. If this is just a major vein, then if the Nine Nether Charm Python were in full form, even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator might be influenced.”

Luo Chen appreciated this and retrieved a jade vial from his storage ring.

Facing this jade vial, Luo Chen’s expression became noticeably more solemn.

Because inside was the Ming Shui, most renowned by the Dark Abyss Sect!

It is said to be one of the world’s most wondrous waters. If any living thing is stained by it, their physical body would corrode, and even magic items and weapons can’t resist it.

Its mysteriousness exceeds that of Mysterious Element Heavy Water, Ren Water, and Heavenly One True Water.

The netherworld around Soulbreak Cliff and the Black Water of the Oblivion Sea would pale in comparison.

And such unparalleled water, the Dark Abyss Sect has plenty of it!

It’s an entire abyss that completely surrounds the Dark Abyss Sect’s mountain gate, impassable by living beings!

In this way, actually, the Mountain Sea Realm’s Five Great Sacred Lands, aside from the Central Continent Heaven Dao Sect, the other four sacred lands are established in dangerous forbidden areas, easy to defend and hard to attack.

The Beiji Yemo Tian of Yuan Mo Sect, the Nether Abyss of the Dark Abyss Sect, the Cui Lan Screen of the Hanging Temple, and the... Gate of Life and Death of the Gate of Life and Death.

The Gate of Life and Death is peculiar, as the forbidden area it’s in shares the same name as the sect.

But never mind these.

Luo Chen eyed the Ming Shui in the vial, eager to try it out.

”I wonder if my Primordial Chaos Tripod can withstand the erosion of the Ming Shui?”

He’s interested in comparing, but ultimately refrains from testing it out.

If his natal magic item were damaged, he’d have nowhere to cry.

”Once the patrol mission ends, Caiyi should also finish her closed-door cultivation; it will be just right to gift her a natal magic item when she returns.”

Luo Chen smiled slightly and without further hesitation, began preparing for the magic item refinement.

...

Time slipped by slowly.

Since Luo Chen arrived at Lingtian Pass, over a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

This year, for the cultivators at Lingtian Pass, was relatively peaceful.

Though there were occasional attacks by demon beasts on patrol teams, they hadn’t encountered a large force of demon beasts.

High Order Cultivators naturally didn’t wish to engage in life-and-death battles with those brutal Demon Kings and Demon Emperors.

Luo Chen rarely showed himself in the city, even some Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators found it difficult to disturb him.

This was because everyone knew he was entrusted by Ling Fengzi to focus on refining an important elixir for him.

To prevent Luo Chen from being disturbed, Ling Fengzi even took a small task for him, to explore and investigate the demon beast situation in a fallen Great Territory outside the city.

This made Luo Chen feel quite guilty when he learned about it later.

He still hadn’t refined the elixir for Ling Fengzi.

Although that pill formula had long been thoroughly studied by the Red Dog Puppet, his main focus this year remained on refining the Chi Xiao Qi and crafting Gu Caiyi’s Natal Magic Item.

This day!

Luo Chen floated in mid-air, his sharp eyes fixed on the Great Cauldron below.

Firelight reflected, Spirit Qi steamed.

The mouth of the cauldron seemed like a small world.

Inside, a long, snake-like object wriggled constantly, occasionally spitting out wisps of demon qi.

”If I want this treasure to reveal the true form of a Demon Emperor in the future, its demonic power must be preserved. But to ensure the cultivator isn’t affected by it during the refining process, additional Prohibition arrays must be applied.”

”For me, it’s not difficult!”

With a slight smile, Luo Chen cast Dao Law Methods into the long object.

A large amount of blood qi was suppressed and sealed.

The giant sinew still seemed to possess residual spirituality, unwilling to become another’s weapon, it suddenly unleashed its last burst of strength.

Luo Chen, while applying the Dao Law Methods, inadvertently inhaled a bit.

But he paid it no mind; with his physique, such a power couldn’t affect him at all.

The illusions in his eyes vanished almost as they appeared.

”Perhaps when facing the true form of the Nine Nether Charm Python, I need to be cautious, but the residual power of this mere giant sinew trying to cause me illusions, disturb my mind... huh?”

Luo Chen’s hand paused slightly.

In that hesitation, the long whip ascended, revealing a colorful giant python phantom inside the cauldron.

Is this the true form of the Nine Nether Charm Python?

With a cold snort, Luo Chen cast the final prohibition.

In an instant, all the Array Forbiddances fused, generating a powerful pull, forcefully dragging the colorful giant python phantom into the long whip.

With a thought, Luo Chen dispersed the Prosperity and Decline True Fire.

He reached out, and the long whip landed in his hand.

Sensing it slightly, he couldn’t help showing a regretful expression.

Medium Grade!

Just a hair’s breadth from an Ascendant Grade Magic Item!

This shouldn’t be.

Back then, with the Xuan Turtle remains, he refined an Ascendant Grade Xuan Chen Armor.

Now, this long whip, also primarily made with the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis, even enhanced with oddities like Ming Shui, was only Medium Grade.

The reason wasn’t his lack of refining skills.

At the last moment, a slight distraction led to a deviation in the embedding of the prohibition arrays, affecting this treasure’s order.

What caused his distraction was the final burst of Charming Python Demon Qi from the giant sinew.

Logically, such demon qi shouldn’t have affected him at all.

Luo Chen indeed wasn’t influenced.

But the moment the illusion was about to appear, he felt a sense of familiarity, sparking his imagination.

In that fleeting thought, everything was ruined.

Holding the scorching long whip, Luo Chen pursued that sudden inspiration.

Illusion... Illusion Realm.

Charming Python Demon Qi... Illusion Beast Cloud Qi!

With a flick of his left hand, a core shrouded in clouds and mist appeared in his palm.

It was the spoils from the final battle before leaving the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, a core from a Fourth-Order Mid-stage Illusion Beast.

Staring at this illusion core, Luo Chen fell into a long silence.

”If I make this treasure the core, can I reforge the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror?”
