Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen automatically raised his foot and then sneered in annoyance.

Damn it, it’s Luo Er Duo, the nephew of Luo Wudi.

No way, after becoming an ancestor, the Luo surname should be considered taboo!

Luo Er Duo bewilderedly stepped forward.

“Gang Leader!”

“Eat this, activate your Cultivation Technique, try to refine it, then tell me the

result.”

“Oh”

Luo Er Duo is usually careless, but he is very obedient and clever in front of a

Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

He swallowed the Jade Marrow Pill and started cultivating on the spot.

However, his posture was very strange, as if he was crawling on the ground like a toad, or like a tiger descending the mountain with all his hairs standing

up.

Watching this scene, Luo Chen was taken aback.

Seeing his confusion, Gu Caiyi quietly explained, “Each Cultivation Technique has its unique functions, thus the cultivation methods vary. It’s said that Luo Er Duo is practicing Xin Tiger Mountain Method taught by his uncle Luo Wudi. At each stage, the technique simulates the movements of a demon tiger. This better absorbs the Heaven and Earth Qi.”

Luo Chen suddenly understood.

He doesn’t know much about Cultivation Techniques.

The only one he knows is probably the Longevity Technique.

The Longevity Technique, a Wood Type Technique, is suited for stillness rather than movement.

Therefore, when activating the technique, one’s state resembles a standing

tree.

This Xin Tiger Mountain Method, on the other hand, leans towards the dynamic.

He wonders what other Cultivation Techniques are like.

Thinking about this, he glanced at Gu Caiyi.

But he found that her expression was somewhat unnatural, and she subconsciously turned her cheek away.

Luo Chen was intrigued, “Friend Gu, let’s practice together when you’re free!”

“Beat it!”

Gu Caiyi spat out a word, rolling her eyes.

Observing the two of them murmuring, Mi Shuhua glared at them fiercely and immediately set up a silence barrier around Luo Er Duo.

Lower Order Cultivators take a long time to operate their Cultivation

Techniques.

When Luo Chen first practiced the Longevity Technique, it took him two hours.

This issue was slowly mitigated as his proficiency increased, decreasing to half

an hour now.

Luo Er Duo was no exception, he made various strange movements, each

lasting twenty minutes.

It wasn’t until two hours later, that he finished sweating profusely.

Mi Shuhua nodded, “The Xin Tiger Mountain Method has a total of nine movements. You can currently perform six, which indicates a solid foundation at the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement.”

Receiving praise, Luo Er Duo couldn’t help but feel happy.

He wiped his sweat and began to talk about his experience with the pill.

“The medicinal property is somewhat cold, not as mild as the Qi Nurturing

Pill.”

“That’S normal, the main ingredient is Wan Jade, which is cold in nature, so naturally, the medicinal property would be cold.” Luo Chen explained.

After taking a look at Luo Chen, Luo Er Duo continued.

“The medicinal strength is good, roughly increasing my overall Spirit Power by

one in a thousand.”

One in a thousand is approximately equivalent to one in a thousand.

After hearing this, Luo Chen frowned, “The medicinal strength is a bit low, it might be because my technique is not good enough.”

However, Mi Shuhua was already quite satisfied.

He laughed and said, “Luo Er Duo is only at the Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage. If he takes a Qi Nurturing Pill, at most, it would increase by one in a hundred. In other words, this Lower Grade Jade Marrow Pill already has ten percent of the effect of a Qi Nurturing Pill!”

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow. Mi Shuhua seemed to have a lot of experience in this regard?

At the moment, he just happened to have some confusion in this regard.

Perhaps, he could take some time to exploit Mi Shuhua.

As a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, as long as he is willing to exploit a bit, there would definitely be some gains.

After obtaining user experience, Mi Shuhua dismissed everyone.

He looked excitedly at Luo Chen, “What’s the success rate?

Luo Chen said lightly, “In the past ten days, I’ve only succeeded once, using my own Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace. Out of one furnace, I produced eleven Jade

Marrow Pills.”

Upon hearing this, the excitement on Mi Shuhua’s face diminished somewhat.

Jade Marrow Pills can’t be sold like Allure Pills.

As Kang Dongyue, the owner of Taishan District Jingshi Pavilion, said before, the price of Allure Pills is astonishingly inflated.

It’s only because of its unique medicinal properties and its presence in The Great River District, an area that frequently battles with demon beasts, that it can be sold singly and at a price of five spirit stones.

Its real value, in calmer, inland markets, would only be one or two spirit stones per pill.

Now, the medicinal power of the Jade Marrow Pill is only a tenth of the Qi Nurturing Pill.

Therefore, the price per bottle naturally can’t exceed too much.

Cultivators are incredibly sensitive to the prices of cultivation pills.

“If it costs five spirit stones to produce and we sell it for ten spirit stones per bottle, then we won’t earn much!”

Whispered Mi Shuhua.

Then, with expectancy, he looked at Luo Chen, “Can you increase the quantity produced?”

Luo Chen spread his hands, “At the moment I’m afraid it’s not possible, unless I make greater progress in the refinement of the Jade Marrow Pills.”

“And besides, we can’t produce on a large scale like the Allure Pills. I’m not even familiar with it yet, and the nuances can’t be generally taught to others.”

As it stands, Luo Chen was indeed doing everything himself.

If the medicine disciples and fire workers are hastily asked to help, I’m afraid they wouldn’t succeed even once out of a hundred tries.

Listening to these difficulties, Mi Shuhua’s face became even more troubled. Seeing his distress, Luo Chen felt some sympathy. Previously, he didn’t understand and saw him only as a kind-hearted wealthy man.

Now, after more interaction, he realised that the other party also had their troubles!

Therefore, Luo Chen decided to resolve his troubles.

“Gang leader, the problem that limits me from refining more Jade Marrow Pills is actually in processing the Wan Jade.”

Mi Shuhua perked up, he had read the pill formula countless times and even had medicine disciples from the Mi family try their hand at it.

He naturally knew the challenging part.

“Every time I process the Wan Jade, whether it’s extracting the marrow or integrating the marrow with the auxiliary ingredients, I must be fully focused.” Luo Chen massaged his temples, “As you know, we Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators have shallow spiritual foundations, and our spirit consciousness can’t even leave our bodies. Under these circumstances, I am somewhat helpless.”

“So?” Mi Shuhua tentatively asked.

He had a vaguely bad feeling.

Luo Chen, with his large innocent eyes, said, “So, if there was some kind of a magical pill or elixir that could stabilise the mind, I could refine more and better Jade Marrow Pills for you.”

“Oh, the calming incense is excellent. It’s cheap, effective, and if I had a small box for a month, I could contribute more to the gang!

Calming incense, one of the best aids for low-level cultivators.

One incense per day allows a cultivator to perform their natal Qi technique five more times and is said to restore the fragile spirit of lower level cultivators.

Luo Chen had used this thing before, it was a gift from a short-lived man.

It was one of the few times he had killed and looted in his life.

That experience left him with a sour yet wonderful memory.

The calming incense was part of that wonderful experience.

A box of calming incense had allowed him to cultivate freely for a while, and even had extra energy to develop his combat style.

One could say that if it weren’t for that box of calming incense and the accompanying Qi Nurturing Pills.

He wouldn’t have survived his second battle.

Upon hearing the name, Mi Shuhua shuddered.

It wasn’t that it was expensive, a box of calming incense to him was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

The reason he trembled was that this kid seemed to be always taking more than given?

But for the sake of the Jade Marrow Pills!

Mi Shuhua took a deep breath, “Calming incense, right? I will have someone send it over. But you, you have to let me see the results!”

“Absolutely, I, Luo, never talk empty words, just wait at home to count spirit stones until your hands get numb!”

Luo Chen was already grinning from ear to ear!
