Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1690: Chapter 621: Pill and Tool Refining Hall, Treasure Core Formation, Happy Troubles_2

For years, she had taken on human form and diligently studied numerous human texts. She was no longer the fledgling bird who knew nothing about the human Immortal Cultivation World.

Thunder Jade is the finest Fourth Order mineral!

Any cultivator crafting their Natal Magic Item would crave even a single piece yet find it elusive.

And here, the master casually revealed three pieces.

Moreover, they were Thousand Years Thunder Jade!

Doesn’t that mean their value rivals Fifth Order minerals?

Luo Chen paid no attention to her shock and merely calculated the remaining quantity of Thunder Jade in his mind.

Back in the Bai Ye Cave Mansion of the Divine Transformation Great Power, he had collected a total of eighteen pieces of Thousand Years Thunder Jade.

Three pieces had been consumed in refining the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Later, three pieces were given to Deputy Hall Master Youquan of Transmitting Truth Hall and two pieces to Qing Shuang Demon Emperor, Hall Master of Zhukong Hall.

During the chaotic battle at Cangwu Mountain, he had handed over another piece to deter the Thunder Prison Divine Roc from targeting him.

Thus, he now retained nine pieces of Thousand Years Thunder Jade.

For refining the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis this time, he planned to use at least one piece, at most three pieces!

His decision to incorporate this material stemmed from Luo Chen’s exceedingly high expectations of the outcome.

Ordinary Magic Items, even when nurtured by Golden Core Cultivators, could at best increase by one or two ranks, and many wouldn’t improve at all.

Take his Breaking Moon Wings, for instance. After years of nurturing, they had finally advanced to Medium Grade status.

Meanwhile, his spiritual defense Magic Item, the Lan Ke Black Chess, had been nurtured far longer but remained at Lower Grade, with upgrade prospects distant and dim.

Such was the incredible difficulty of enhancing the rank of Magic Items.

But one category of Magic Items stands apart!

They are Magic Items infused with Thunder Jade.

These treasures endure intense flame tempering during their forging and attract lightning baptism during nurturing. Over time, they become flawless and pure, capable of advancing alongside the cultivator’s realm.

This is why Thunder Jade is highly prized in crafting Natal Magic Items.

The concept of ”dual cultivation of life” refers not only to the simultaneous cultivation of spirit and body but also to the parallel cultivation of the host and their Magic Item.

The Magic Item Luo Chen was about to refine this time had the Fourth Order Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis as its core material, a substance comparable to a Nascent Soul True Master!

How could a treasure of such magnificence be treated like an ordinary Magic Item?

If successful, it would be the most precious artifact in Luo Chen’s possession after the Primordial Chaos Tripod, destined to remain by his side for eternity.

If it failed to advance alongside his realm and became a liability in the future, it would be a devastating waste.

”Three pieces for the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis, leaving six pieces. These six must not go to waste; once the Primordial Chaos Tripod is nurtured to its limit, I’ll fuse them in to elevate its potential further.”

In that instant, Luo Chen had resolved.

Magic Items without Thunder Jade cannot be infused with it later.

But if their essence already contains Thunder Jade, subsequent integrations are possible.

Once all preparations were complete.

Luo Chen glanced at Tian Xuan.

The latter immediately understood his intentions.

”Rest assured, Master, I will handle all Outer World affairs for you and ensure that no one interrupts you this time.”

With that, she bowed deeply and exited the Pill and Tool Refining Hall.

The heavy bronze doors closed with a rumbling sound.

After her departure, Luo Chen retrieved two items in succession.

One was the Primordial Chaos Tripod, which landed with a sonorous thud.

The other was the Xuan Turtle Shell, which floated midair.

This time, Luo Chen did not toss the turtle shell into the Primordial Chaos Tripod but let it hover in space.

”This material is the crystallization of a Demon Clan powerhouse’s essence, and its value defies mere rank classification.”

”When refining it, ordinary techniques will hardly prove effective.”

”Fortunately, I’ve adapted the Penglai Immortal Sect’s Tool Casting blueprints into a unique method of my own.”

Smiling faintly, he sat cross-legged on the ground.

His five fingers spread wide, then converged like a sword, releasing two wisps of green flame from his fingertips that shot toward the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis.

Not stopping there, he parted his lips slightly, exhaling another strand of impeccably pure green flame, which enveloped the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis completely.

Within the Sea of Qi.

The Original Source True Fire flared intensely!

The spinning Red Golden Core emitted streams of highly refined Qi Power, which were then drawn out in flame-like forms.

The first step was straightforward burning and refining!

Luo Chen’s Prosperity and Decline True Fire, graded at the Fourth Order, possessed sufficient qualifications to temper the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis.

It was only that the process might take considerable time.

As Luo Chen diligently burned and refined, the Xuan Turtle Shell floating midair slowly transitioned from its initial unchanging state to a scorched black hue, gradually softening.

The hall was suffused with surging demonic power leaking out.

That was the accumulated demonic power of the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan’s ancestor, the Mysterious Rock Demonic Emperor, whose transformation from an ordinary Ring-Headed Turtle to a Desolate Beast Mysterious Turtle showcased immense strength and skill.

The residual Metamorphosis, despite being only a fragment, contained unimaginably vast power.

Now being unleashed, it seemed somewhat wasteful.

Luo Chen was unperturbed and continued refining the turtle shell tirelessly.

To prevent his Qi Power from depleting, he frequently held a Top Grade True Flame Pill in his mouth.

This method of consuming elixirs without proper refinement might leave side effects, but he couldn’t afford to care.

Years of preparation had led to this critical moment; hesitation now was unthinkable.

Luo Chen’s proficiency in Tool Casting Technique, as displayed on his Attribute Panel, was already at the Third Order Tool Casting Crafter level!

The opportunity for advancement arose from the Jade Ruyi he had gifted Zhang Jiadi for his wedding.

It wasn’t a spoils of war from earlier days but something he personally forged without relying on the nurturing effects of the Primordial Chaos Tripod!

Over the years, he had crafted six sets of Mysterious Armor.

Through repeated successes, he was gradually uncovering the secrets of the craft.
