Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2027: Chapter 745: Three Giant Houses, Nine Noble Families—Only the Han Gate Stands Out Alone

As dawn approached, Luo Chen satisfactorily put away a furnace of elixirs.

At his current realm, even though the Prosperity and Decline True Fire was in a transitional state and inconvenient to use, he could still employ Nascent Soul True Fire for pill refinement and tool casting.

In reality, using true fire for pill refinement is the norm for most Pill Refiners.

After all, not every Pill Refiner can subdue a suitable Sourceless Fire at a low realm, and when one’s realm is advanced, those of slightly lower grade Sourceless Fire are not as stable and reliable as their own Nascent Soul True Fire.

Luo Chen examined the Great Soul Pill in his hand, its color a dark hue with a hint of golden light within.

”Holding back its might, the medicinal power is restrained, its brilliance hidden within simplicity.”

”It is indeed of Ascendant Grade without a doubt!”

Luo Chen glanced at the Attribute Panel, and indeed, the proficiency of the Great Soul Pill had quietly advanced to the Top Grade Level.

In this manner, he would feel more assured when consuming the Great Soul Pill for soul refining next.

Speaking of soul refining, a peculiar expression appeared in Luo Chen’s eyes.

Previously unnoticed, recently while cultivating the ”Soul Cleaving Technique,” he gradually perceived changes in his Divine Soul.

It is not Soul Splitting!

With a Medium Grade Great Soul Pill each month, the split soul had already recovered to the Early Nascent Soul Stage, nothing worth mentioning here.

The focal point of the change was on the Main Soul!

At some unknown time, Luo Chen’s Main Soul had made significant improvements, even carrying a vague sense of fullness and roundness.

”Is it the enhancement brought by that period of sudden enlightenment?”

Luo Chen attributed the cause to that half-year-long sudden enlightenment; otherwise, he couldn’t find a suitable explanation.

After all, this Soul Cleaving Technique uses Main Soul splitting as its method, enhancing the split soul, thereby achieving a collateral increase in Divine Soul Endowment. It does not significantly aid in Main Soul cultivation, at most making it slightly more resilient.

”Unless I break through the realm, my current Main Soul has reached a bottleneck, advancing no further.”

”In the past, I could only cultivate slowly, waiting for a breakthrough. Now, with the ’Soul Cleaving Technique,’ I can continue enhancing my Divine Soul Endowment.”

Luo Chen was very clear that the enhancement of the Main Soul to its limit signifies the possibility of splitting another soul.

Although the second split soul nowadays was far from matching the Main Soul, he didn’t mind allocating a third split soul.

By then, advancing together, growing stronger collectively, wouldn’t that be splendid?

However, it is only equal to then, with the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven competition imminent, it’s not the best time to divide the Main Soul and fall into a weakened state; it should wait until after this matter.

Luo Chen put away the Great Soul Pill, tidied up the Primordial Chaos Tripod, and prepared to go out.

While cleaning the Primordial Chaos Tripod, he suddenly thought.

”Back then, how did Alchemy Saint Chu Yan discern that I was a Pill Refiner, capable of potentially refining a Fifth Order Elixir?”

Knowing he might be a Pill Refiner is explainable to an extent.

After all, Fu Chaosheng would undoubtedly provide relevant intelligence to the Star Gate; having acquired so many medicinal materials and not requesting others to refine the elixirs, it could only be surmised that he himself consumed them.

But the notion of refining a Fifth Order Elixir out of thin air seems rather extraordinary.

”They might know I visited Oblivion Sea, but surely unaware that I obtained the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch’s Dao of Alchemy inheritance within the Land of Fallen Demons.”

”In Ming Zhao Heaven at the time, few survived; Han Zhan, Blood Independent Cultivator, Blood Nightmare Mo Luo were dead; Moon Independent Cultivator disappeared; Sea Corner Tianmu belonged to the Demon Clan. The Gu family siblings kept a low profile, hardly daring to show themselves.”

”Only Old Daoist Ji Yuan from Penglai Immortal Sect and Moon Independent Cultivator’s sister Feileng Fairy truly knew I came out of the Pill Hall. The former has already fallen, and the latter... ”

Luo Chen mentally drew a connection chart.

Feileng Fairy and Moon Independent Cultivator, those two sisters, were suspected to originate from Penglai Immortal Sect. And Penglai Immortal Sect had deep connections with Zhongzhou’s Tianyuan Daoist Sect. If Feileng Fairy sought refuge in Tianyuan Daoist Sect to evade her sister’s pursuit while leaking Luo Chen’s intelligence...

”No, that’s not it!”

Soon, Luo Chen himself invalidated this connection chart.

The reason is simple: if that were true, the Star Gate couldn’t possibly offer him only a nominal position as an External Affairs Guest Elder.

Existing as someone who could refine a Fifth Order Elixir at the Early Nascent Soul Stage is the next sure candidate for an Alchemy Saint.

Thus, the Star Gate was entirely unaware of this intelligence.

Hence, Alchemy Saint Chu Yan’s judgment of him was solely based on some intuition she possessed herself.

”Is it the intrinsic induction and attraction between Pill Refiners?”

”Or perhaps it’s the wondrousness of her Dao of Alchemy’s laws, achieved from the God Transformation Realm’s accomplishments?”

After forming the Nascent Soul, Luo Chen supplemented his knowledge with quite a few texts related to higher realms.

Although most were vague in words, there were many records concerning the path further ahead.

The Great Dao Path numbers three thousand, laws countless.

The Dao is elusive, difficult to estimate; hence weaker cultivators can only perceive laws step by step, thereby approaching the true Great Dao continuously.

Among the myriad laws, there are neither superior nor inferior, yet they are divided into Great Dao Laws and Left Path Laws.

The Great Dao Laws need not be elaborated, constructing the yin-yang, Five Elements, wind, thunder, and space of the entire world, etc.

These laws are the most intricate, the most complex; often, under a single law, numerous true intents of law are delineated. However, once cultivated to Completion Stage, they often most closely approach the Original Source of the Great Dao.

Non-Left Path Laws, however, often originate from A Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.

From music, chess, calligraphy, painting to Alchemy Array Artifacts, and even more obscure paths, comprehending extreme laws from overwhelming slaughter.

If Alchemy Saint Chu Yan did truly accomplish the Divine Transformation Stage through Dao of Alchemy, a Left Path Law, then sensing his past refinement of a Fifth Order Elixir seems somewhat understandable.
