Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2584: Chapter 951: Breaking Through the Bottleneck, Storms Rise Again

In the quiet cave mansion.

Luo Chen stood in front of the desk, carefully examining the Hundred Poison King Gu sealed within the amber.

Because of the incident with the Spirit Beetle years ago, Luo Chen was quite cautious with Gu insects, fearing encountering another tampered one.

Just like his previous refinements of the Qi Power Gu and the letter poison, he only chose to refine them after being extremely cautious.

Compared to the low-level Qi Power Gu and letter poison, this Hundred Poison King Gu was slightly higher in order, being a Third Order, making the inspection very troublesome.

Fortunately, as Luo Chen’s realm deepened, he realized a simple truth.

There is no division in the Dao of Refinement!

Whether it’s Pill Refinement, Artifact Refining, or Gu Refining, they all share some common principles.

Wanting to leave any tricks in pills, magic items, or Gu insects is not that simple.

One needs to have enough understanding of the respective subject, and a method to counteract, to leave a follow-up move.

At the very least, according to his current inspection, this Hundred Poison King Gu was clear and white, without hidden dangers.

”Indeed, a mere Third Order Gu insect wouldn’t make a top-tier Gu Refiner from South Border employ any dirty tricks.”

Luo Chen chuckled at his own cautiousness, then shook his head.

The other party actually used a Third Order Poisonous Gu, and the corresponding cultivation technique, to exchange for this renowned ”Ba Xiu’s” one-time action; they truly made a good deal!

Of course, Luo Chen was not too annoyed.

The Hundred Poison King Gu is indeed just Third Order, but its future potential is significant, which is also a fact.

Once this Gu is exposed to various poisons, its order can rapidly increase, reaching Fourth Order is the ideal state.

Even, under Master Li Tian’s whimsical ideas, if the host can withstand it and has enough strong venomous support, this Hundred Poison King Gu might very well achieve Fifth Order one day.

This also shows that Master Li Tian used this as an experimental route to refine the Fifth-tier Divine Gu.

Not refining it directly, but relying on cultivators’ postnatal efforts to cultivate it, promoting it step by step.

As for why Master Li Tian later abandoned the Hundred Poison King Gu, the answer is simple.

The individuals who can meet those two conditions are indeed extremely rare in this world!

”Can I withstand it?”

Luo Chen asked himself, then smiled knowingly.

If he couldn’t withstand it, how many in this realm would have the qualification?

Qing Shuang? Wang Yuan?

They wouldn’t choose this ”crooked path.” Even if the King Gu and cultivation technique were placed in front of them, they would probably just scoff at it.

Only when he encounters a bottleneck in Body Refinement would he choose to treat a dead horse as a living one.

”Let me see what you can really do!”

With a thought, Luo Chen felt a slight sting at his fingertip.

A drop of blood essence emitting a strong breath was squeezed out.

With a slight wobble, there was a sound—

Drip!

The blood essence fell onto the amber, and the amber sealing the Hundred Poison King Gu began to melt like snow.

Stimulated, the Hundred Poison King Gu gradually started to awaken.

Before it could take any action, Luo Chen’s blood essence had already touched its body.

”Hiss...”

An inaudible sharp chirp resounded in his heart.

In his sight, the tender white King Gu began to roll violently, its body flashing blood red as it struggled continuously.

When the blood red gradually disappeared, Luo Chen knew the first phase of refining was successful.

Then, without hesitation...

Luo Chen made a cut with his fingers above his abdomen.

A gruesome wound appeared, and he grabbed the Hundred Poison King Gu and stuffed it inside.

The gory wound, under strong regenerative power, began to heal quickly.

And in his perception, as soon as the white Gu insect entered the body, it moved straight towards the viscera stomach.

”Luckily, having taken copious amounts of Five Temple Immortal Brew over the years, I’ve fortified my organs to a rare strength, otherwise, I couldn’t have provided a stable home for the Hundred Poison King Gu.”

Murmuring to himself, within Luo Chen’s Purple Mansion, the center of the Nascent Soul Small People’s brows glimmered.

It was the Shining God Gu refined earlier!

To prevent any unforeseen changes, the Shining God Gu had to be activated continuously, monitoring the Hundred Poison King Gu.

From the current situation, everything was going smoothly.

As soon as the Hundred Poison King Gu entered the stomach, the sense of discomfort met with Luo Chen’s terrifying stomach acid that seemed to dissolve everything, and instantly became comfortable like a fish in water.

A sense of hunger, due to the linked minds, was transmitted to Luo Chen’s consciousness.

”Already impatient?”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, then took out a black jar from the storage bag.

Opening the jar, inside, a small green snake was slowly moving its forked tongue.

This was the Green Luminous Snake, a First Order Demonic Beast containing potent venom.

Any Qi Refinement Stage cultivator who accidentally touched it would suffer heart paralysis and death.

And this was one of the essential poisons among the hundred First Order poisons needed for entering the cultivation of the ”Hundred Poison Body Refining Technique.”

A hand was placed in front of the small green snake.

The Green Luminous Snake didn’t hesitate, biting immediately.

However, it didn’t even have the chance to leave a white mark on Luo Chen’s hand.

Luo Chen shook his head, ”Too troublesome.”

Pinching with two fingers, he extracted the Green Luminous Snake’s venom gland.

In an instant, the Green Luminous Snake became extremely sluggish.

Facing the poison feared by numerous Qi Refinement Stage cultivators, Luo Chen lightly laughed and swallowed it.

As the poison traveled down the esophagus, it fell into the stomach.

The Hundred Poison King Gu, attracted, kept absorbing it.

Its tender white body gradually turned pitch black.

However, this transformation was brief, and it quickly reverted to a state like white jade.

Seeing this, Luo Chen began to operate the ”Hundred Poison Body Refining.”

With the flow of the cultivation technique, the linked-minded Hundred Poison King Gu also reacted correspondingly.
