Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2590: Chapter 953: The Heavenly Master’s Treacherous Plot, Poisoned Wine to Quench Thirst (Part 2)

During this process, aside from his physical body, the only thing affected was probably the Origin Force that Luo Chen cultivated!

During the period when the Nine-headed Poison was tempering his body, the flow of Origin Force was rather sluggish, and nothing was smooth.

But Luo Chen persevered.

Because on the proficiency panel, he could clearly see his body refinement progress rapidly advancing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When he first arrived at the South Border, the progress bar was around fifty.

Before reaching Mi Realm Mountain, it had barely increased by a bit.

However, in just half a year at Mi Realm Mountain, this progress rose with unimaginable efficiency, little by little.

Now it had reached as high as fifty-nine!

Although it seemed like an increase of merely nine progress points, in the context of the entire major realm, this improvement rate was terrifying.

Compared to the Path of Qi Refinement, it was almost as if he had advanced from the Nascent Soul Fifth Level to the Sixth Layer of Nascent Soul!

This was why he was willing to endure such boundless pain, day and night without pause.

Cultivation with visible feedback can really become addictive.

According to Luo Chen’s estimation, when his body refinement progress crosses the threshold of [Primordial Fourth Order 66/100], it should signify stepping into the Late Stage Realm.

This also gave him great anticipation for the final Mother and Child Gu while refining the Fallen Immortal Feather.

On this day.

During a break in cultivation, Luo Chen took some time to leave the Cave Mansion and went to Master Li Tian’s residence.

There, he met the personnel related to the expedition to the Yin Yang Residual Realm.

Master Li Tian was the initiator, assisted by Purple Blood Sect Master Purple Robe Marquis, Hidden Sword Tower Master Fan Wujiao, and even the previously encountered Hong Ye Granny was among them.

”There is one more person, not inside Mi Realm Mountain, who will join us upon departure.”

After an introduction, Master Li Tian inquired about everyone’s preparations.

Hong Ye Granny’s array preparation, Purple Robe Marquis’s secret treasure refinement, and finally Luo Chen’s body refinement progress.

”Don’t worry, I won’t let you down!”

After leaving this remark, Luo Chen was uninterested in conversing with the others and left on his own.

This self-willed style of behavior was indeed surprising.

But the most astonishing was Luo Chen’s external appearance.

His skin was iron-blue, his face ferocious, nails long and narrow, with faint fangs protruding as he spoke.

Yaksha Form!

Purple Robe Marquis, having seen the complete Hundred Poison Body Refining Technique, knew well what this meant.

After Luo Chen’s departure, he couldn’t help but sigh, ”This Friend Qi is truly a rare body refinement genius in a thousand years! Although that cultivation technique isn’t profound, truly practicing it is extremely challenging. Even given a decade or a century, I might not achieve much. Yet he has accomplished such achievements in a short time, it’s truly enviable.”

Hong Ye Granny and Hidden Sword Tower Master Fan Wujiao were unaware of the difficulty.

Master Li Tian, however, smiled in agreement.

Not only is his talent for body refinement outstanding, but also his ability to endure the terrifying pain brought by intense poison is truly admirable.

This is a good thing!

The stronger Luo Chen is, the more confident he will be in the Yin Yang Residual Realm!

”It should also be the stage for refining the Mother and Child Gu!”

Master Li Tian murmured in his heart.

With Yaksha manifesting and Nine Poison spreading throughout the body, it was evident that he had reached a bottleneck.

To break through this bottleneck, he needed the Mother and Child Gu to push him over the edge!

...

As Master Li Tian expected, Luo Chen had indeed reached this stage.

Moreover, he had prepared everything for refining the Mother and Child Gu.

In a secret chamber, Luo Chen stared at the Gu Insect in his hand, eager and ready to act.

He wasn’t concerned with outward ugliness or beauty. Even though the Yaksha Form was unappealing, amid the rapid enhancement of power, it was all endurable.

Additionally, once he surpassed this stage, and the Zombie Poison and Nine-headed Poison were completely refined, the so-called Yaksha Form could be controlled.

If that’s the case, then what is there to worry about?

”Everything hinges on this final step!”

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen channeled the Hundred Poison Body Refining Technique, instantly refining the restless Mother and Child Gu in his hand.

Immediately, a powerful atmosphere of resentment and poison entered Luo Chen’s body.

The Hundred Poison King Gu instinctively devoured it, then fed back an even more terrifying poison gas.

This poisonous gas, as the cultivation technique circulated, gradually flowed throughout Luo Chen’s body, even spreading towards the Sea of Consciousness...

Three days later!

”Get out!”

A low shout, like muffled thunder, exploded.

The black-armored man seated quietly suddenly erupted with dazzling golden flames.

A vast amount of poisonous resentment, under the pressure of the golden flames, spewed out in thin strands.

Finally, it condensed into a Gu insect with its eyes wide open.

It was precisely the Mother and Child Gu!

Luo Chen’s expression was gloomy as he held the Gu insect, murmuring under his breath, ”Master Li Tian!”

He meticulously guarded against someone tampering with the Gu insects, so every time he refined them, he checked them thoroughly.

Unexpectedly, he still fell into the trap.

The three Gu insects sent by Master Li Tian seemed problem-free.

The problem arose when, after refining them, the residual toxins entwined in a short time, resulting in an unspeakable chain reaction.

The physical body stiffened, Origin Force stagnated, and the toxic resentment forcefully attacked the Sea of Consciousness!

In that moment, Luo Chen almost lost his self-awareness and the sense of control over his physical body.

If not for the Shining God Gu constantly monitoring his body, if not for his soul being exceptionally alert, if not for the constant support of the Prison Soul Suppression Technique, if not for the two hidden Shenhuo in his Purple Mansion...

At this moment, Luo Chen used the Nirvana Sacred Fire to force out the Mother and Child Gu, and the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire to suppress the Hundred Poison King Gu, dispelling that sensation of self-loss.

He interrupted the cultivation process.

In doing so, Master Li Tian’s plan naturally couldn’t succeed.

But the cost of forcibly interrupting the cultivation process was inevitable.

At this moment, the ascension of the Hundred Poison King Gu was interrupted, and it was swiftly withering, running out of strength.

Even with the suppression from the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire, it only slightly delayed the process.

Once the Hundred Poison King Gu collapses, the terrifying toxicity contained within will erupt instantly, fearing that Luo Chen’s physical body...

”The world says it’s hard to deal with Southern Border practitioners, and now it seems, it indeed holds true!”

Luo Chen let out a cold laugh, but there was no sign of panic on his face.

The ”Hundred Poison Body Refining Technique” has already been cultivated to the grandmaster level by him, far exceeding even Master Li Tian, the creator of this cultivation technique.

He could see that the collapse of the Hundred Poison King Gu was due to its lack of strength and the interrupted ascension.

All he needed to do was to put the Mother and Child Gu back in to supplement the strength.

But it’s not absolutely necessary to use this Gu!

The Hundred Poison King Gu requires extremely poisonous substances, the more toxic, the better!

And such things are not something Luo Chen lacks!

Previously, he refrained from using them because the Hundred Poison King Gu was still too weak, fearing it might be destroyed.

But now, it’s just right...

”Master Li Tian, no matter what your purpose is, I will remember this grudge for now!”

Murmuring to himself, Luo Chen suddenly took out a small jar.

With a flick of his fingertip, a drop of liquid flew out.

Wrapped in Qi Power, it cautiously entered his body, finally reaching the Hundred Poison King Gu in his stomach.

As the Qi Power dissipated, a dangerous aura permeated the air.

However, the liquid, which was a deadly poison to most people, was actually a great supplement for the Hundred Poison King Gu.

The Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire that suppressed the King Gu was immediately withdrawn, and the King Gu devoured the liquid without hesitation.

In an instant, the Gu insect began to churn violently, its color gradually shifting from pale to a jade-like white, as if it was becoming jade-like.

At the same time, a large amount of poisonous mist was released during this process.

Luo Chen’s extremely resilient physical body began to disintegrate under the corrosion of this mist, turning into pools of bloody water.

Such a horrifying sight compelled Black King to retreat to a corner, its eyes filled with terror.

”Did the master actually consume that Poison Spirit Corn?”

The Poison Spirit Corn, the Eastern Wilderness Nascent Soul Upper Sect Dieyun Sect’s secret poison wine.

Back then, even the toxin-resistant Black King dared not consume it, and Luo Chen only took a tiny sip, which nearly corroded his physical body.

Now, enhanced by the Hundred Poison King Gu, a single drop unleashed its effects tenfold, a hundredfold.

Under extreme corrosion, Luo Chen’s physical body began collapsing, disintegrating, turning into pools of blood.

Only a Nascent Soul Small Person wearing black armor, holding a cauldron and a sword, hovered in mid-air, its face expressionless, calmly observing the scene.
