Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2824 - 1044: Black Clouds Over the City, Grandmaster Sword Seed_3

What greeted him were four pairs of eyes filled with either admiration, awe, or even envy and jealousy.

”Boss!”

”Brother Fu You!”

”Fuqiu...”

Zhou Fuqiu waved his hand and sat in the high seat.

”It’s been a long time, how have you all been these past years?”

As soon as he spoke, the four began to pour out their grievances.

Clearly, the cultivation life in the Daoist Palace, which was envied by the young people outside, was not as easy as imagined.

There were factions, alliances, competition, and suppression here as well.

Apart from social dealings, the cultivation itself was a difficult and painful task.

The most valued was Zhou Ping’an with the Five Spiritual Roots Constitution.

Yet he was also the most disheartened person in the entire Yuheng Institute.

His cultivation progress was extremely slow, and the vast resources invested seemed to disappear without a trace, always being the slowest to advance his realm.

Like Zhou Yuwei and Zhou Yu Hao, who were already at the Late Stage of Qi Refinement.

But Zhou Ping’an was only at the Third Level Qi Refinement Stage, far from the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement. It was rumored that Yuheng Institute was already considering giving up on cultivating Zhou Ping’an.

Clearly, Five Elements Cultivation placed immense pressure on young people.

Only twenty-one years old, Zhou Ping’an already had a slightly aged appearance at this moment.

Zhou Yuqi wasn’t much better off. His talent was only average, and his father had used connections to get him into the palace on an auditing spot.

He faced discrimination himself, and his cultivation speed was slow, especially after recently receiving some news.

”Fuqiu, are my father and mother really dead?”

Facing those eyes filled with grief, Zhou Fuqiu was remarkably calm.

”You can ask the Clan Elders about this matter.”

Zhou Yuqi opened his mouth but finally slumped helplessly into the chair.

Zhou Fuqiu didn’t care about his thoughts, nor did he particularly care about the situation of other Zhou family members.

Today’s meeting was merely for the sake of the whole clan’s camaraderie, to superficially support them.

Cultivating in this Tian Nan Dao Palace mostly relied on oneself.

Joining the Dao Palace, laying the foundation in the Seven Stars Academy, advancing to Foundation Establishment, and then choosing a hall to join as several disciples.

Only by advancing to the Golden Core Period could one formally worship the Four Great Hall Masters as teachers.

Those Foundation Establishment True Cultivators relied more on the Golden Core Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters for guidance and personal comprehension in their daily cultivation.

This was actually the reason why so many people came together to Chaixi Palace today.

Zhou Fuqiu had achieved instant success, surpassing efforts spanning several, dozens, or even hundreds of years, directly becoming an apprentice under the Qing Lan Fairy. How could this not drive others insane with jealousy?

After a brief reminiscence, the four Zhou family members bid farewell, not daring to disturb Zhou Fuqiu further.

In the evening, Senior Sister delivered a book to Zhou Fuqiu.

This was a Magic Treasure Atlas!

Most of the atlas was sealed, but one-fifth of it was unsealed.

Clearly, the master intended for Zhou Fuqiu to select a suitable magic item in advance.

Zhou Fuqiu loved reading such books, which could broaden his knowledge and allow him to gain far more than his years would suggest.

The magical items annotated in the Magic Treasure Atlas were not ordinary items.

Apart from describing the name, power, strengths, and weaknesses, it also recorded the battle achievements of those who had used such magic items in the past.

The more Zhou Fuqiu read, the more delighted he became, thinking each one was suitable for him, yet feeling each lacked a certain essence.

”My future will never be limited to the Golden Core Nascent Soul Realm, so my Natal Magic Item for Life and Spirit Dual Cultivation must have enormous potential!”

”Therefore, the magic items of those who only reached the Golden Core Period or Nascent Soul Stage must have some kind of flaw.”

”I want a Natal Magic Item once refined by Divine Transformation Great Power!”

Zhou Fuqiu turned to the last page.

On it, a pearl shone brightly.

”Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!”

...

Deep within the Azure Darkness.

Unaware of how much time had passed, only sensing a cosmic chaos.

A Daoist sat cross-legged.

He sat there quietly, but his breath seemed like a sharp sword, ready to pierce the canopy of the sky at any moment.

Suddenly!

The Black Clothed Daoist abruptly opened his eyes, and his entire body, hundreds of acupoints, trembled simultaneously.

Countless Sword Qi erupted incessantly, forming a crimson storm in the void.

At the center of the storm, the Black Clothed Daoist stared in amazement at a seed in the palm of his hand.

”After twenty years, the Sword Scripture has finally been cultivated to the Grandmaster Level.”

”But this Sword Seed condensed by Sword Qi, what is it, exactly? There’s no record of it in the Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture.”

”Could it be a special change brought by the System, similar to when various techniques were perfected in the past?”
