Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1861: Chapter 688: Transforming into Demon, Transforming into Monster, Also Transforming into Human_2

Unlike the previous half-year, this time the human cultivator known as Demon King Qingyang no longer roams among the bookshelves but sits at the desk, diligently writing.

This scene made her mood suddenly heavy.

”So soon?”

”The knowledge recorded on these bamboo slips, if not vast as a sea of smoke, is at least comparable to a mountain of books, and he finished reading all of it in just half a year. He has even reached the stage of writing pill formulas!”

Thinking of the strong confidence the other had revealed in his words earlier, and his devastating performance in breaking through two checkpoints, the old woman discreetly clenched her fist.

”I cannot discern this person’s realm; facing me, he remained unfazed, suggesting he is likely a True Master like me.”

”Yet his alchemy Dao accomplishment must be extremely profound, especially in the creation of pill formulas... Could he be an elder from the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, or even a direct descendant from the Divine Transformation Holy Land?”

”If that’s truly the case, then I fear it would be difficult.”

The old woman wandered around the bookshelves, and her gaze occasionally fell on the man at the desk by the window, head bent over his writing.

Her thoughts fluctuated, a storm of distractions.

In terms of the Dao of Alchemy, the human clan is definitely above the demon clan.

Although she, Sea Corner Tianmu, comes from the Sea Corner Clan proficient in recognizing spirit medicines, her pill refinement heritage is still insufficient.

In her early years, to advance in the Dao of Alchemy, she hunted numerous immortal cultivators to acquire alchemy books. She even ventured into human territory, risking herself to attend alchemy gatherings and exchange ideas with formidable pill refiners.

Only through such efforts did she achieve her current accomplishments.

But to truly compare with those Ascendant Sect Holy Lands, which have thousand-year heritages, she ultimately lacks too much foundation.

If Demon King Qingyang truly surpasses her and breaks the third barrier prematurely, this journey would be for nothing.

At this thought, the old woman’s expression turned more somber.

”All to be blamed on Jiao Emperor Liu Jun. Had he been willing to give me the alchemy books obtained from the Yuan Mo Sect, it wouldn’t have been so difficult now.”

”If I succeed in obtaining alchemy heritage this time, then so be it; but if I fail, the friendship between my Sea Corner Clan and the Jiaoren Clan...”

As she thought of this, Sea Corner Tianmu suddenly paused.

”What’s wrong with me?”

Just at this moment, she looked towards the window, and the handsome young man raised his head, gazing back at her steadily.

Their eyes met silently, and then parted again.

Sea Corner Tianmu seemed to understand something and cursed under her breath.

”Despicable!”

...

No matter how vile one’s schemes or unscrupulous one’s methods, they do not affect one’s accomplishments in technique.

The so-called pure-hearted, sincere Dao, in Luo Chen’s view, merely refers to one’s level of dedication to a certain path, having nothing to do with goodness or evil.

After countless attempts, countless successes, and constant reading over the centuries, although it can’t be said he has mastered all schools, he has undoubtedly laid a strong foundation in the Dao of Alchemy.

This foundation played a crucial role in the self-created pill formula test of the three barriers in the Alchemy Realm!

Regarding demon race body refining pills, Luo Chen spent a year and a half writing dozens of pill formulas.

Later, he noticed that demon race body refinement, human clan Qi blood change, and demon clan spirit qi physique training seem similar, being closer to the physical grinding of savage beasts.

Except during this process, there are also some body refining concepts from both human and demon clans mixed in.

Focus on the body, supplement with qi, follow the path of extreme dominance!

Understanding this point, he suddenly connected it all.

To refine pills for those on this path, one should unleash a torrent-like surge of elixir pill power!

Simply put, the auxiliary material’s potency must be strong, and the main material even stronger, so that the refined elixir possesses formidable power.

The physique of the demon race is naturally stronger than that of the human and demon clans, able to handle more powerful medicinal effects.

Thus, unleash it without restraint!

Following this idea, Luo Chen filtered out the vast majority of pill formulas and kept only nine.

Among the nine pill formulas, the focus was on skin, flesh, and bones, with blood and acupoints occupying only a small part.

Then he went to the Alchemy Realm to collect spirit medicines and brought them back for grinding and processing.

While personally handling these materials, he eliminated six more pill formulas, leaving only the three most rugged ones.

Then, through system verification, he confirmed their completeness.

Thus, everything was ready, only awaiting the moment to refine!

Throughout this process, Sea Corner Tianmu watched coldly from the sidelines.

She naturally saw the medicinal materials Luo Chen collected, all of them were of excessively potent varieties.

Thus, amid her many questions, she was also somewhat dismissive.

”Not distinguishing between host and guest, not understanding strong-weak matching, have I overestimated him?”

While puzzled, Sea Corner Tianmu didn’t cease her own efforts.

Breaking through the celestial barrier in the first test took her three years, cleansing the demon soul in the second test only a year, yet refining the demonic body foundation consumed a full three years!

It’s time to test the results.

This time, she is very confident!

The pill room in the third test has always been hers, Demon King Qingyang has never set foot inside.

In three years, countless failures, success might be just around the corner.

The old woman began pill refinement once more.

Three months later.

The old woman’s eyes were bloodshot, staring fixedly at the red-hot pill furnace, the feeling of imminent breakthrough growing ever stronger.

This time, I must succeed, I must pass!

And that youngster dwelling outside and refining elixirs will once again be left behind.

”He’s only been refining pills for three months, the beginning stages of trial and error, the gap is too great for me!”

”Previously fell for that kid’s trick, disrupting my mind. This time, I’m ahead of him, it’s his turn for chaos.”

Thinking of this, Heavenly Matron Sea Corner showed a satisfied smile.

Yet before this smile could fully bloom, a weak voice suddenly thundered from the sky.

[Stone Skin Pill, completed as Third-Order Lower Grade, aids low-level Demon Race with skin tempering.]

[Thunder Bone Pill, completed as Third-Order Lower Grade, aids low-level Demon Race with bone marrow tempering.]

[Mercury Blood Pill, completed as Third-Order Lower Grade, aids low-level Demon Race with blood refining.]

[Assessment result: Excellent, Passed!]

Bang!

The pill furnace inside the pill room exploded.

The old woman hurriedly abandoned her task, waved her sleeve, opened the door, and rushed out.

In her vision, a dazzling light enveloped the Red-Robed Daoist, with space seeming to distort and collapse.

The Daoist looked at the old woman with white hair and red eyes, nodding slightly.

”Friend, I shall go ahead.”

With those words, the light column dissipated, and the Daoist’s figure vanished completely.

Staring at this dreamlike scene, the old woman trembled all over, disbelief written on her face.

”How is it possible?”

”How could he refine the correct elixirs in such a short time.”

”Third Order! With such high grade, the medicinal power must be terrifyingly amazing, how could low-level Demon Race Foundation Establishment withstand it?”

”Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

The old woman’s murmuring gradually became louder, almost shouting.

However, this time, no one responded to her.

Luo Chen’s departing glance was calm and serene, seemingly not viewing her as a rival for the Dao of Alchemy inheritance.

Ignoring, that’s the ultimate contempt!

Heavenly Matron Sea Corner felt her heart teetering.

...

Sun and moon turned, ushering in a new day.

Luo Chen absorbed the rich Heaven and Earth Qi, feeling the Golden Core within him pulse intensely.

Indeed, after three tests, there was still a fourth, seemingly endless.

But he understood, the legacy of a Void Refining True Monarch wouldn’t have easy assessments.

What he needed to do was keep moving forward regardless of how many tests lay ahead.

Previously, in the third test, he had a clear advantage over the Alchemy Grandmaster Heavenly Matron Sea Corner!

Relying on years of body refinement experience to break through more quickly, screening pill formulas faster with the system’s help, and even the specific pill refinement process benefited from using Achievement Points, allowing him to enter the beginner stage and refine the first successful pill in just three months.

Such a thunderous momentum surely gave the old woman a big shock!

But, Luo Chen sensed the other party getting closer to success, fearing his little tricks wouldn’t hinder them for much longer.

From now on, he must work even harder.

With a faint smile, Luo Chen’s eyes suddenly focused.

A voice resonated in his mind, like a grand bell echoing endlessly.

”Demons envy the changeability of monsters, monsters admire the wisdom of humans, humans covet the purity of demons. Each is unique, as the spirit of the heavens and earth is long. Us pill masters, enter the Dao with pills, should break the limits of Demon, Monster, and Human clans.”

”Please refine the pills of Demon Transformation, Monster Transformation, and Human Transformation.”

”The pill formulas are listed below...”

In an instant, Luo Chen stood silently, lost in thought.

This test, does not assess basic understanding of the Dao of Alchemy, but instead tests specific pill refinement skills?
