Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2266: Chapter 832: The Birth of Thunder Tribulation and the Chen Yuan Immortal Mirror

The poison was all attributed to the gastric sac.

Let’s return to the main topic.

At this moment, the tribulation thunder appeared, surrounding the Heart Inquiry Mirror, almost identical to the postnatal refining methods of True Devices recorded in Feiyun Zi’s tomes.

”So, if I make it through this ordeal, there’s a chance I might obtain a True Device?”

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Chen’s heart started pounding loudly.

He licked his dry lips, his eyes shining brightly, fixated on the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

”Why not take a gamble?”

”At worst, at the critical moment, I can withdraw the tribulation thunder force. Even if I fail, I can get a defective Heart Inquiry Mirror, which should be enough to heal Cang Long.”

This thought had emerged, and he could no longer suppress it.

Especially since Luo Chen felt he could withdraw the tribulation thunder force at any time, he no longer had any worries.

The last Dao Law Method of the Treasure Collection Technique had not been cast, allowing the flashes of lightning and the trembling treasure light within the tripod.

Time slowly passed by.

Even though Luo Chen was not physically in the midst, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

This was even more nerve-wracking than his own tribulation crossing.

As he watched the treasure light grow weaker, and the dilapidated body of the Heart Inquiry Mirror being revealed, a belated regret arose in Luo Chen’s heart.

Suddenly!

The tribulation thunder abruptly vanished, and a mottled gray-white stone mirror stumbled out from the mouth of the tripod.

At the same time, a large amount of spirit qi in the cave mansion began to pour into the gray-white stone mirror.

Luo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. The meridians had formed, the breathing and channeling were smooth—these were signs of a True Device.

Glancing at the surrounding spirit qi, Luo Chen cast a Dao Law Method, releasing the array in the cultivation room, instantly allowing more of the bound dense spirit qi to gush forth, being fervently absorbed by the stone mirror.

The cracked stone mirror, under the continuous absorption of spirit qi, though still mottled, had its cracks ultimately disappear.

One day later.

Luo Chen stretched out his hand, and the slightly warm gray-white stone mirror fell into his hand.

Rubbing the mottled surface of the mirror, a sense of retrospective fear rose in Luo Chen’s heart.

”If it weren’t for the excellent quality of the refining materials, I would’ve almost failed.”

”I even thought that if this succeeded, I would use the tribulation thunder inside the Primordial Chaos Tripod to temper my other magic items too. Now it seems, it was outrageously bold!”

”The black tribulation thunder was not something I dared to withstand when I advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, how could a normal magic item dare to take such a risk.”

Luo Chen realized that the reason the Heart Inquiry Mirror could narrowly succeed was that its primary material was the illusion core of a mid-stage Fourth-Order Illusion Beast, which itself was comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul level.

Normal magic items simply do not have such a foundation!

The sense of retrospective fear gradually dissipated, replaced by ecstasy.

He had refined a True Device!

Even though it relied on top-grade primary materials and the serendipitously collected tribulation thunder force, a genuine True Device had been born in his hands.

An experience like this is something many high-order artifact refiners can only hope to encounter.

Not even taking time to experience the functions of the gray-white stone mirror, Luo Chen hurriedly opened the attribute panel for a glance.

Sure enough!

The [Third Order Artifact Refiner] entry kept flashing, faintly flickering, gradually transforming into [Fourth Order Artifact Refiner].

Luo Chen couldn’t help but grin and laugh out loud.

...

The icy world, blood-stained peach blossoms, a spirit fox fell beneath the sword.

Tossing and turning, demon beasts roared, aimlessly not knowing where to go?

The bloody winds and rains, nowhere to escape, only using one’s body as a blade, to carve out a bright and clear sky.

Amidst the drifting sandalwood, Luo Chen held the stone mirror, channeling qi power into it, one illusion realm after another being triggered.

Vividly lifelike, almost indistinguishable from reality.

Sitting cross-legged opposite him were several individuals.

There was Jueqing Fairy, there was Gu Caiyi, and even Wang Yuan.

But now, except for Wang Yuan showing a struggling expression, the others were deeply trapped, unable to extricate themselves.

Even Luo Chen felt that if he increased his qi power and merged his own divine consciousness into it, guiding it, not even Wang Yuan, with his steadfast and unmovable consciousness, would resist this mirror.

”It truly did not let me down!”

Murmuring this, Luo Chen slowly withdrew his qi power.

The several Luo Tian Sect cultivators, invited to test the precious item, opened their eyes one by one.

The first to open his eyes was Wang Yuan. His whole body resonated with Gang Qi, and his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly.

”Everything just now, was it an illusion?”

”Hmm.”

”Did you see it all?”

Luo Chen nodded slightly, not deceiving.

Wang Yuan fell into silence.

The second to wake up was Jueqing Fairy. At some point, tears had already fallen from the corners of her eyes.

Just now, she returned to the softest and most painful scene in her heart. If it were not for Luo Chen waking her up, she might have forever been trapped in that piercingly cold and painful moment.

Luo Chen’s gentle voice came softly to her ears.

”With my guidance, the illusion and reality are undoubtedly one. With this mirror, her consciousness can be revived without awakening Cang Long’s physical body.”

Jueqing Fairy nodded gently, ”Real Master, thank you for your efforts to save Senior Sister.”

The last to wake up was Gu Caiyi. Her tense face instantly relaxed the moment she saw Luo Chen.

She even disregarded the others’ gazes and threw herself into Luo Chen’s embrace.

”Can you not leave in the future?”

Luo Chen gently stroked the strands of her green silk, ”It is my fault as your husband, I shouldn’t have let you go through those things again.”

Then, like taking out candies, he brought out four jade vials, placing two of them into Gu Caiyi’s hands.

”This is Soul Calming Powder, the third-order Soul Nourishing Holy Medicine from the Medicine King Sect, best used when exhausted.”

”You all take it as well!”

The remaining two vials were given to Wang Yuan and Jueqing Fairy.

Though there seemed to be a favoritism, no one questioned it.

The emotionally fluctuating Jueqing Fairy instead felt a bit of envy towards Luo Chen’s open preference.

She steadied her soul, ”Does this treasure have a name?”

”Of course, its name is Ghost God...” At the tip of his tongue, Luo Chen couldn’t help but lightly laugh.

In the past, it could be said to not question the masses but only the Ghost God, yet this mirror was refined and controlled by him.

So, why ask the Ghost God, but rather inquire about the past!

”Chen Yuan!”

”Thank Chen Yuan, return to the Immortal Court.”

”Having experienced joy and endured pain, you should thank Chen Yuan, which allows you to return to the Immortal Court. Glad that the illusion of tonight has ended, now choose your path freely. Do not linger in the astray, do not linger in the astray, return to the Great Dao soon!”

Holding the mirror in one hand, Luo Chen ran his other hand through her green silk, chanting and singing.

Gu Caiyi tilted her head, gazing at Luo Chen in admiration, murmuring.

”Is it the Chen Yuan Immortal Mirror?”

...

Having refined the Chen Yuan Immortal Mirror, the task of healing Cang Long was set on the agenda.

Wang Yuan and the others did not linger long. On the same day, after taking the Soul Calming Powder in Luo Chen’s Cave Mansion, they took their leave.

However, before leaving, Wang Yuan reminded Luo Chen once more about the recent changes in the situation.

The demon beast army was attacking with increasing ferocity. Even the four commanders were trying to probe the weaker array points of Lingtian Pass.

The casualties among the city’s cultivators were becoming uncontrollable under the massive onslaught of demon beasts.

To mention a familiar one, Elder Fu almost died under the hands of a fourth-order mid-stage Demon Emperor. Without activating a costly Death Replacement Talisman, he probably would not have escaped back to Lingtian Pass.

Ling Fengzi’s combat power was slightly weaker but had stronger life-saving capabilities, yet the Piaomiao Sect disciples under him suffered heavy casualties. It’s said that now, less than one in ten remains, with the sect’s numbers sharply declining to below a thousand, almost comparable to the recently risen Nascent Soul force of Luo Tian Sect. Even in terms of core combat strength like Wang Yuan, they were notably inferior.

Even Jiuling Yuanjun’s current days were less than comfortable because a Great Commander had set his sights on him!

”We must promptly resolve personal matters and focus all our energy on battle, otherwise we’ll end up regretting it terribly!”

Wang Yuan advised as he left.

Luo Chen took it to heart, healing Cang Long was his last personal matter.

...

In outsiders’ mouths, Luo Chen was enthusiastic and selfless, supportive of the younger generation, embodying a gentleman’s demeanor.

In the eyes of those close to him, Luo Chen was kind and benevolent, like a towering tree sheltering from wind and rain.

Only Luo Chen himself knew, but for the sake of longevity, everything could be forsaken.

At heart, he was an extremely selfish person.

Yet, before crossing the bottom line, he could clearly distinguish between grievances and favors and keep his promises.

Standing inside the Cold Ice Room, Luo Chen moved aside the Ice Castle which had been patched up over the years, revealing the ice coffin housing the sleeping beauty.

Looking at the woman’s tightly furrowed brows, Luo Chen sighed lightly.

This woman had been kind to him, and logically and emotionally, it was time to repay her a bit.

The Chen Yuan Immortal Mirror floated out, covering the ice coffin.

His ten fingers danced, casting spiritual secrets continuously.

”The great dream not yet awakened, the soul first awakes, as if in an illusion yet in the heart.”

”Senior Sister Cang Long, come and enter the dream!”

White mist emanated from the mottled stone mirror, seeping into the ice coffin.

The woman’s tightly locked brows relaxed a bit, beneath her crystalline eyelids, her eyes moved as if dreaming of something.
