Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 660: Chapter 273: Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain, Ten Thousand Li of Flowing Sand Wasteland_1

Once again, Luo Chen met with Li Jinhuang.

The meeting was not held in Hui Long Bay, but inside a ”Water Mansion”.

Deep inside the Qin Flower River, a winding corridor led mysteriously into the dark unknown.

Two figures, one in front of the other, moved forward in silence.

Luo Chen followed behind, looking with mild surprise at the person in front of him.

Li Yingzhang!

The most likely candidate for foundation establishment in this generation of the Li Family.

He has dual spirit roots, is young, but did not pledge himself to any great sect. Instead, he was personally mentored by Li Jinhuang from a young age.

Such situations do exist.

When a clan is lack of talents, a genius appears.

The best way to handle it is not to send him to a great sect, but to keep him within the family.

Otherwise, once he enters a sect, he might easily forget his origins.

On the contrary, raising him from a young age can strengthen his dependence on the clan and solidify emotional ties beyond blood relations.

In simple terms, it’s about binding him with the complex interpersonal relationships of a large clan.

It’s not about good or bad, after all, he has indeed benefited from the full tilt of the clan’s resources.

What surprised Luo Chen was that Li Yingzhang’s realm seemed to be in a state of slow decline.

He was clearly at the Qi Refinement Stage Finalization.

But he was not in a hurry to establish the foundation, allowing his realm to slowly decline.

This was too strange!

Seemingly sensing Luo Chen’s questioning, Li Yingzhang, without turning his head, said:

”Are you curious about my declining realm, senior?”

”Hmm.”

Luo Chen responded with a grunt.

Li Yingzhang briefly explained, ”I have a special physique, known as the Body of Nine Twists and Turns. Fortunately, my ancestor found a secret technique, ’Nine Returnals of Origin,’ for me to assist in foundation establishment. This technique allows me to build nine returnals within my Dantian in nine years, each year one returnal, increasing my chances of successfully establishing the foundation by 20%.

The casual explanation stirred Luo Chen’s thoughts.

There was a secret technique to aid foundation establishment?

Building the Nine Returnals of Origin within the Dantian, isn’t that like simulating the Nine Heavens of the Sea of Qi after foundation establishment in advance?

If you reached the stage of foundation establishment, after breaking your Dantian, you wouldn’t need to painstakingly go through the Dantian Sea Transformation.

Breaking the Dantian, transforming the Dantian into a sea, collecting spirit power, and transforming spirit power into liquid.

These are the key four steps for foundation establishment.

They correspond to the spirit qi challenge, the divine soul challenge, and overall, the physical challenge.

After practicing this secret technique, the process of transforming the sea becomes effortless.

And judging by what Li Yingzhang said, during the cultivation of ’Nine Returnals of Origin,’ the mastery and refinement of spirit power would become more profound.

Doesn’t that also mean getting accustomed to the following two processes?

No wonder it can increase the chances of successful foundation establishment by 20%!

He was so generous to reveal this secret technique without hesitation.

It seems like he isn’t afraid of Luo Chen’s coveting?

”Indeed, this technique was tailor-made for his unique physique, it would be useless to others.”

Luo Chen had seen the Body of Nine Twists and Turns mentioned in a book about talented physiques.

It was referred to as a ”congenital defect physique”.

Those possessing such a physique have thicker meridians than others from birth, allowing them to hold more spirit power at the same level.

However, the large meridians are winding, crisscrossing, and entangled with each other.

It’s like the waterways of a large river, turbid and meandering, twisting and turning nine times!

One can imagine.

With such a complex meridian system.

While cultivating the Natal Qi Technique, naturally, it would require several times the effort of the average person.

Ordinary people with this physique would need at least a hundred years to reach the Qi Refinement Finalization, and after a hundred years, they can’t hope to achieve The Path of Foundation Establishment.

Li Yingzhang was able to reach the Qi Refinement Finalization in his youth, showing how much effort Li Jinhuang had invested in him.

I just don’t know, how far has he cultivated ’Nine Returnals of Origin’?

How many more years do he need to reach foundation establishment?

While Luo Chen was pondering.

Suddenly, the person in front stopped in front of a curtain of water.

”Senior, my ancestor is waiting for you inside,” Li Yingzhang extended his hand, making an inviting gesture.

Luo Chen gave him a serious look, then stepped into the curtain of water.

Upon entering, the dense spirit qi was like a whole new world.

This was clearly a First Order Top Grade Immortal Mansion!

Before Luo Chen had time to marvel, his eyes fell on Li Jinhuang and his brows furrowed.

”Friend, are you injured?”

Next to a spring at the bottom, Li Jinhuang sat on a seat mat, his breath fluctuating irregularly.

There was a faint smell of blood on his body.

Seeing Luo Chen’s arrival, Li Jinhuang managed a bitter smile.

”I didn’t expect things to be so chaotic over in the Flowing Sand Wasteland. Those calamity cultivators, they’re just too outrageous!”

”Flowing Sand Wasteland, you actually went to the Accumulation Thunder Mountain area?” Luo Chen said in amazement.

Li Jinhuang sighed, ”Only there the situation is chaotic enough that no one would inquire about your origins, everything is judged merely by the quality of the goods.”

Luo Chen pursed his lips, for a moment he was at a loss for words.

Of course, he knew that it was easy to sell things in the Accumulation Thunder Mountain area.

The current war between the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects, although still in control, is not often fought in person.

After initial brief exchanges, it evolved into conflicts between allies and vassals under their command.

The centre of contention was Accumulation Thunder Mountain.

The vast Flowing Sand Wasteland, extending from Accumulation Thunder Mountain, was the biggest battlefield.

The place was a mixed bag, with countless rogue cultivators from the Yu Ding Realm sneaking around, trying to profit from the war.

It’s clear that Li Jinhuang was extraordinarily daring!

”I’ve altered the name of your Tongyou Pill to Illusory Dream Spirit Pill and sold it in bulk in the black market.”
