Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 659: Chapter 272: Midlife Worries and Inventory of Attributes_3

This level could be preliminarily used in battle now.

The power at this point is roughly on par with the Fierce Sun Technique at its extreme limit.

However, executing this technique requires the integration of three first-order techniques, which is quite cumbersome.

Without reaching instant cast condition, deploying this technique requires careful consideration and assessment of the battlefield environment.

The promotion of the second-order defensive technique ”Glass Sky Canopy” takes much more time.

After all, the former technique started cultivation in the Qi Refinement Stage.

This one, however, was only taken up after Foundation Establishment.

Nonetheless, the advantages of this technique are quite evident.

Its effectiveness is outstanding when it comes to close defense, and Luo Chen has now classified it as a regular combat method.

”Turtle Spirit Armor” is a technique he learned about a year ago.

The training is somewhat tedious, split into four stages.

For the past year, whenever Luo Chen travelled, he constantly adjusted his breathing rhythm.

Today, he has finally completed the ”Turtle’s Breath” part of the training.

”If I use Turtle’s Breath, the effect is probably even better than that rogue cultivator on the Gaoling Plains battlefield!”

With a light chuckle, Luo Chen passed over the section on first-order techniques.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the Divine Intimidation Technique has hardly advanced to the Perfection Level.

As for the rest, there’s not much to talk about.

What Luo Chen is most concerned about is the Pill Technique section.

About five years have passed since he left The Great River District and arrived at Tianlan Immortal City.

During these five years,

He personally crafted hundreds of thousands of Jade Marrow Pills.

A thousand Tongyou Pills.

Two hundred Jade Dew Pills!

With such a huge quantity of pill refinement, his Pill Refinement Technique has seen unimaginable progress.

Even though it’s unimaginable, it’s not entirely immeasurable.

This can be somewhat inferred from the progress in the Pill Technique.

Breaking Jade Hand at the Finalization Level goes without saying.

The Simplicity Hand, a special Pill Technique for dealing with herbal medicines, has also been promoted to the Finalization Level.

Washing Brook Hand improved to Grandmaster level, Cloud Transformation Hand advanced to Perfection Level.

Such a rapid pace of Pill Technique improvement, when spoken of, can leave people speechless in astonishment.

Among all the Pill Techniques, Luo Chen pays the most attention to the ”Cleanse Origin Pill Formula”, which is the last detoxification technique on hand.

In five full years, he raised this technique from nothing to Grandmaster Level.

At this moment, within his Sea of Qi,

a sturdy and huge vortex is constantly spinning.

The Spirit Qi entering it is then slung out, rushing towards the shore of the Sea of Qi.

On the shore, the pill poison attached is washed away by the pure Spirit Power, falling and then expelled from Luo Chen’s body.

The ”Cleanse Origin Pill Formula” at Grandmaster Level can now completely solve the problem of pill poison.

Now.

Luo Chen finally does not need to worry about pill poison affecting his future breakthroughs.

Furthermore, he can confidently consume pills to accelerate his cultivation.

His Pill Technique has improved tremendously, which naturally indicates that the proficiency of Luo Chen’s specialty pills has improved.

His greatest achievement in these years was the Finalization of the Tongyou Pill.

Occasionally, he also crafts the second-order Jade Dew Pill, which has reached the Mastery Level.

Now, his success rate of Jade Dew Pill is as high as 30%, and he can even refine the Medium Grade Jade Dew Pill.

Supplying to Jueqing Fairy is no longer a difficulty.

However, he is still holding on to this secret.

The time limit she gave him was ten years later.

It has only been a year and a half, he has plenty of time and there’s no hurry!

In terms of martial arts, Luo Chen isn’t paying much attention to it right now.

The promotion of Wang Family’s Secret Manual comes from his daily practice of the Five Viscera Health Preserving Fist and the dragon rising step.

However, this secret manual involves too many things.

Fist palm finger, light footwork, hidden weapons, various weapons, it encompasses everything, and is well-versed in all aspects.

This is really the life’s work of a Grandmaster of Martial Arts!

But his exploration was merely cursory.

The reason his strength realm improved was not due to him cultivating this secret manual, but the result of long-term cultivation and the subtle increments brought by Spirit Qi’s immersion into his body.

It could be imagined that this type of natural enhancement, without active cultivation, would slow down as time progresses.

Luo Chen didn’t care much about these things.

What surprised him was the accumulation of 25 Achievement Points.

He hadn’t paid much attention to it before.

Every increase in a technique, enhancement in proficiency of a pill, or other minute improvements.

Without realizing it, he accumulated up to 25 Achievement Points.

Providing the major share was mainly related to pill refinement.

”With 25 Achievement Points, I could learn a new Second Order Technique or a Second Order Pill.”

”But now, I don’t have any need in this regard.”

The techniques he knew were already more than sufficient!

Among those of the same Order, none would devote part of their time to techniques like he does.

In the eyes of the average cultivator, this would be seen as a waste.

But Luo Chen, having killed enemies above his level numerous times in the past, relied on proficient techniques, so he would not give up cultivating in this area easily.

There is nothing much to say about pills.

The Jade Marrow Pill provides a source of wealth, the Jade Dew Pill is key in maintaining relations, and the Tongyou Pill is used for cultivating the divine soul.

Unless someone now gives him a pill formula that can rival the Qi Unifying Pill or Rising Dragon Pill, he would probably enter immediately, promoting it to Ascendant Grade Pill’s level regardless of anything else!

Unfortunately, Luo Chen has long been deeply immersed in cultivating pills!

The reason he was able to progress from ”[Foundation Establishment Third Level 10/100]” to ”[60/100]” within a short period of a year, following the auction.

Was not only due to the Ascendant Grade Cave House, Ice Silkworm Cushion, the rise of his divine soul to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment allowing him to use the Natal Qi Technique many times over.

The greatest contributor was those thirty bottles of Medium Grade Qi Unifying Pills!

The Medium Grade Qi Unifying Pills greatly assisted him in his cultivation.

But now?

They’re all gone!

All of it has been used up.

That’s why Luo Chen finally found time today to thoroughly inspect his Attribute Panel.

”Without the Second Order Middle Grade Pills, I have to return to the cultivation state of the Lower Grade Rising Dragon Pill.”

Luo Chen was somewhat frustrated.

Having tasted the effects of a better pill, who would want to return to the previous turtle-paced cultivation speed?

However, some things do not move according to one’s will.

Regarding higher-grade orthodox cultivation pills, no large sect would let them out easily.

They will only use it for themselves or circulate it among the sects.

Even this Medium Grade Qi Unifying Pill was only put up for auction by the Medicine King Sect because of their wealth and in order to maintain their reputation in Pill Refinement.

”It’s a pity that the Jade Dew Pill is only suitable for female cultivators, otherwise if I upgraded it to Ascendant grade, or even Top Grade level, wouldn’t my cultivation speed take off!”

The effect of the Jade Dew Pill is unique, but only targets female cultivators.

For male cultivators, it is considered to be a flawed pill.

After swallowing and refining, the cold Yin Qi left in the Dantian greatly affects male cultivators.

The higher the grade of the pill, the heavier the Yin cold Qi!

It’s a delight for female cultivators, but not for Luo Chen.

Unfortunately, this ”defect” targeted at male cultivators is not like the innate defect of the Jade Marrow Pill that solidifies the Dantian.

It benefits female cultivators.

This is a defect deliberately created, and even dominated by humans.

So even the System won’t optimize this kind of ”defect”.

”No way, I must find a way, figure out a method to get more Medium and Ascendant Grade Qi Unifying Pill outside of the auction.”

”Rising Dragon Pill also works!”

”According to the time calculations, Li Jinhuang should be back.”

”He is older, has wide connections, has many ways, maybe he knows some ways to get high-grade pills.”

With his mind made up, Luo Chen really did not want his cultivation speed to be dragged down by the grade of pills.

A few days later.

A Sound Transmission Paper Crane, passing through the Sky-born Water Defense Array, fluttered and flew to the front of Luo Chen’s cave house.

Straight after, a figure departed directly from Tianlan Peak.
