Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2460: Chapter 903: Great Grandmaster (Part 3)

...

The stream flowed gently, and the white-clothed Daoist sat cross-legged.

Divine Consciousness leapt and Qi Power circulated.

Strands of Heaven and Earth Qi were absorbed into his body, first passing through a cycle of refinement between meridians and acupoints, then tempered by the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire, ultimately merging into the chubby Nascent Soul small person, transforming into the purest Qi Power.

Luo Chen immersed himself in it, feeling somewhat indescribably wonderful.

Cultivation is a bitter task, how can it be indescribably wonderful?

But that was precisely how he felt at the moment, because compared to his former self, the efficiency of converting and restoring Qi Power now was extraordinarily higher.

Almost two to three times that of before!

This speed was not gained out of nowhere but was precisely calculated by Luo Chen after mastering the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra” on Cangwu Mountain.

He knew clearly that his path of cultivation had embarked on the most correct route, just the speed of cultivation and recovery alone had doubled or tripled.

Once, he thought breaking through from the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer to the Fifth Layer would take at least forty or fifty years. Even with the aid of that top-grade Fourth Order Cave Mansion on Cangwu Mountain, it would only cut the time short by a bit.

But if calculated with the current speed, it would take at most twenty to thirty years to break through.

And now, by Luo Chen’s judgment, relying on this cultivation speed, reaching the Sixth Layer of Nascent Soul would take approximately only fifty years.

This is even after excluding the benefits of the Cangwu Mountain Cave Mansion, the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land, and the support from various Elixir Medicine Array Formations.

Only using ordinary Fourth Order Spirit Land for cultivation!

If adding those, Luo Chen was confident he could reduce this time to the minimum!

”The late stage Nascent Soul is beckoning me.”

”The threshold of Divine Transformation, there is indeed a great chance to touch it in the future.”

”The future truly looks incomparably bright!”

As Qi Power gradually restored to its peak, Luo Chen’s mood became increasingly joyful.

Suddenly!

He abruptly opened his eyes, looking across the stream.

An old man with gray hair, a face full of wrinkles, and an aura of decay, was looking at him with a smile.

Luo Chen stood up, surprised and said, ”Mr. Xuan Yan? You...”

He remembered clearly, when Mr. Xuan Yan appeared before, though quite aged, his aura was robust, and his complexion extremely healthy, nothing like the dying appearance now.

Mr. Xuan Yan seemed indifferent to his own changes, casually saying, ”I have long surpassed the normal Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator’s thousand-year lifespan limit; to linger over a hundred years more, it is only by relying on the resources of the Dark Abyss Sect and Life Extension Technique. The previous state was a manifestation of Returning Light and Reflecting.”

Luo Chen realized, feeling the previous demeanor of Mr. Xuan Yan was vastly different from the rumors.

It was just Returning Light and Reflecting.

But now, why did he suddenly decay so much, to the point where his whole aura became increasingly weak?

As he wondered, Mr. Xuan Yan slowly raised his right hand, a white token came into Luo Chen’s sight.

”What’s this?” Luo Chen asked in confusion, vaguely having a guess in his heart.

Mr. Xuan Yan didn’t beat around the bush, he straightforwardly said, ”This is the trial of the fourth level, something left behind by Chu Yan. Only by unlocking it can one truly obtain the Pill Saint Inheritance.”

Luo Chen fixedly stared at the token, but soon shook his head.

”I don’t know what’s inside, but the first three levels have already benefited me greatly.”

”Since this inheritance is already in your possession, I congratulate you, Senior!”

Mr. Xuan Yan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Luo Chen’s words.

After all, this was the Pill Saint Inheritance!

However, to Luo Chen, the first three levels indeed provided tremendous gains.

The first level solidified his foundation in the Dao of Alchemy.

The second level allowed him to create a self-invented Returning Dust Technique for reverse refining pills.

The third level even enabled him to refine a Two Forms Pill, a high-order elixir bound to be of great use, and even because of a successful pill formation, he gained a boost of confidence, no longer revered any unfamiliar elixirs in the future.

Only until this moment did Luo Chen truly possess the demeanor of a Great Grandmaster from inside out!

Even when facing the renowned Mr. Xuan Yan directly, he was full of confidence; perhaps he might be a bit lacking in experience, but as for Pill Refinement Technique, he believed himself to be no lesser than others!

A mere inheritance, once it’s in others’ hands, why bother to seize it forcefully?

Mr. Xuan Yan looked at Luo Chen in amazement, feeling a bit awkward with the hand lifted in the air.

”I didn’t expect you to be even more outstanding than I imagined!”

”No wonder Chu Yan had faith in you, and no wonder the three of the Dark Abyss Sect would open the Alchemy Saint Hall for you in advance.”

”Here you go!”

Whoosh!

In Luo Chen’s astonishment, the white token was lightly tossed over by the other party, as if it wasn’t a legacy left by a Divinity Transformation Pill Saint, but an inconsequential Qi Nurturing Pill.

”Do you know why I especially sought you out?”

”I do not know.”

”Because only you have the chance to unlock this token, while I am eventually one step behind!”

Mr. Xuan Yan slowly articulated with a somewhat desolate tone, also slightly melancholic.

Luo Chen did not understand why the other party said this, his gaze fell on the warm White Jade Token in his hand, and the questions instantly resolved themselves.
