Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2082: Chapter 764_3

Once the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit is successfully nurtured, the enhancement it brings to Luo Chen’s strength is absolutely comparable to grasping the true intent of the law!

The certainty comes from the words spoken by Alchemy Saint Chu Yan to Luo Chen during his ascension.

[Your transformation of the True Fire is just one step away from completion. With this Tianji Pill to aid you, it will proceed smoothly.]

From the beginning, this pill was meant for the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit.

Luo Chen no longer hesitated and swallowed the Tianji Pill in one gulp.

The elixir entered the body, without any qi power to refine it, it went straight into the Purple Mansion, where it was eagerly enveloped by the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit.

At that moment, Luo Chen distinctly felt a large amount of spirit mechanism spreading out.

The Nascent Soul was eager to move, yet it could only watch as the spirit mechanism was devoured by the Withering and Flourishing True Fire.

”Alas! Alas!”

Luo Chen sighed, blankly watching the transformation and enhancement of the Withering and Flourishing True Fire, hoping that day would quickly arrive.

...

Seven years later.

In a certain cave mansion, Shi Ju suddenly opened his eyes.

”Where is it?”

Qi Xiongcheng, who had lost an arm, stood respectfully to one side and whispered, ”Outside the Cave Heaven, in the Far North Region.”

Shi Ju raised an eyebrow, ”Went outside, no wonder there was no news before. Are you sure it’s over there?”

Qi Xiongcheng nodded, ”It should be true. This is the news from Wang Yifu. He said the environment over there is extremely eerie. Even when deep snow covers the ground, the vegetation is lush, like spring and summer. Such oddity, according to Daoist Sect records, appears only when a cultivator improperly controls the Origin Power. That Huang Independent Cultivator took many illusion cores. For Fu Qinglan to reach this stage with that support is quite reasonable.”

Shi Ju showed a contemplative look.

As one of the fundamental elements in the truth of law, Origin Power seems simple, yet mastering it requires considerable skill.

Fu Qinglan’s poor control led to the leakage of Origin Power, which is understandable.

The only surprise is her rapid progress; even Gu Daosu hadn’t reached this step before.

With this in mind...

”Let’s go, to the Far North of the Cave Heaven!”

Qi Xiongcheng hesitated, instinctively touching his severed arm.

For a Nascent Soul True Master, reattaching a severed limb is a trivial matter, but for some reason, the arm severed by the Blood Sword could not be reattached by ordinary means.

Shi Ju saw his small action and frowned, ”Are you afraid of the Huang Independent Cultivator?”

Qi Xiongcheng quickly shook his head, ”No, it’s just that you, Young Master, have already gathered enough illusion cores. You should be calmly cultivating, why bother seeking trouble with them?”

Shi Ju’s face turned fierce, waving a big hand.

”If I don’t go after them, they’ll run away! As for cultivation, I’ve never worried about it in my life, so why should you be concerned!”

Qi Xiongcheng was left speechless.

The other party made a valid point; once Fu Qinglan succeeds and activates the illusion cores, she can leave the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven directly.

After exiting, everything must be done according to the rules of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

As for Shi Ju’s cultivation, indeed, it’s not up to him to worry.

The other party has never fretted over cultivation, even when others find comprehending the true intent of the law difficult, Shi Ju just regards it as a matter of course.

”Am I truly afraid of the Huang Independent Cultivator?”

As he questioned himself, probing the truth he dared not face buried deep in his heart, Shi Ju had already stepped out of the cave mansion.

”Inform Wang Yifu, not to act rashly, wait for us to arrive. He’s too weak, no match for the Huang Independent Cultivator. If the snake is startled, I’ll only hold him accountable!”

”Yes!”

...

”Is this the place?”

”It should be. I followed the White Eagle here; you see it’s circling nonstop nearby, clearly sensing the presence of an enemy.”

Listening to Gu Chen’s words, Gu Yuan braced against the heavy snow and bent down.

Plucking a withered yellow blade of grass.

”Something’s off, this grass is withered, with no vitality, not appearing to be tainted by Wood Element Origin Force.”

Gu Chen was also puzzled, only able to console, ”Perhaps it’s too far away, and this area wasn’t affected?”

Gu Yuan straightened, looking up at the giant White Eagle in the sky.

”Maybe this creature made an error. It’s been twenty-nine years. Even if Fu Qinglan has poor talent, with so many illusion cores aiding her, she should have long since comprehended the Dao and left Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, why would she remain in these vast snowy mountains.”

”Shall we venture further inside to check?”

”Alright then, I’m in no rush. If she truly is inside, we might witness something interesting.”

Gu Yuan was indifferent, masking his breath, following the White Eagle’s steps deeper into the snow-covered mountains.

Two days later.

Their footsteps stopped.

Gazing towards a mountain peak, two men stood side by side, watching them.

”It’s those two from the Lin Family.”

”Why are they here? Could it be they’re also here for the Huang Independent Cultivator?”

”Not sure, maybe they’re after this White Eagle. Heard before that Lin Jingfang learned the method to hunt Illusion Beasts, gaining quite a harvest. Perhaps he’s set his sights on this flashy White Eagle.”

”Ignore them; let’s search a bit more. If we still can’t find it, we’ll head back, I’ve absorbed about as much as I can.”

Gu Yuan said this, continuing forward.

In the distance, Lin Bufan and Lin Jingfang watched them, baffled.

The two from the Gu Family continued onward, witnessing increasingly odd scenes.

In this winter, there’s indeed unseasonal lush green vegetation.

Yet among the greenery, there’s substantial withered yellow.

Without external interference, such abnormality is indeed puzzling.

Suddenly!

Gu Chen halted, golden robes flapping in the wind, shielding Gu Yuan behind him.

Gu Yuan was surprised, ”What is it?”

Gu Chen swallowed, ”For some reason, I feel extremely uncomfortable, going further might lead to something bad.”

Feeling?

Gu Yuan frowned, spreading his Divine Consciousness, surveying the surroundings.

Mountains undulated, varying in height.

Snow covered everything, a pristine white coat.

Amidst the white expanse, no human trace in sight.

Apart from unusual vegetation, there’s nothing else?

”Guard me a bit.”

Gu Yuan instructed, sitting cross-legged, the Nascent Soul tunneling out.

In this state, he became more attuned to the world, also due to previous practice with illusion cores, making him more sensitive to this realm’s spirit mechanism.

The most striking feature is perhaps the White Eagle circling above.

But beside it, two other auras attracted attention.

Gu Yuan swallowed, confused.

”But why is the grass withered, without vitality, not like it’s affected by wood element origin power?”

Gu Chen was also puzzled, comforting, ”Maybe we’re too far away, this side probably wasn’t affected?”

Gu Yuan stood up, looking at the giant White Eagle hovering above.

”It seems this beast has made a mistake. Considering the time, it’s already been twenty-nine years. Even if Fu Qinglan’s talent is lacking, with all those Illusion Cores, she would have comprehended the Dao long ago, and left Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven. She wouldn’t still stay in these vast snowy mountains.”

”Or, should we go further in and take a look?”

”Alright, I’m not in a hurry anyway. We might as well, and if she truly is here, we might get to watch the excitement unfold.”

Two days later.

They stopped their tracks at a snow-covered spot.

The more they saw, the stranger the scene became in this winter landscape.

Without external forces, such anomalies were truly perplexing.

Gu Yuan swallowed and said, ”It seems like this beast made a mistake. Even if Fu Qinglan lacks the talent, with so many Illusion Cores assisting, she should have succeeded in comprehending the Dao and left the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven long ago, so why would she still remain in this vast snow mountain range?”

”Why don’t we go further inside and have a look?”

”Alright, I’m in no rush. Just in case she’s really here, we might as well go deeper for a look.”

Two days later.

They finally stood at a snow-covered spot, stopping among the increasingly strange landscape they encountered.

In this winter land of snow, the anomalies startled them as well.

Suddenly, three figures appeared without concealing their presence.

”We found you, Huang Independent Cultivator!”

The arrogant voice echoed.
