Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Strong in ”quantity,” weak in ”quality.”

This divided soul cannot compare to his main soul, having not been tempered by the passage of time, nor sharpened during the realm upgrades, let alone after enduring the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation during the Yin Soul Turns into Yang Spirit phase.

Thus, the divided soul seems to have the Nascent Soul level, but when it comes to attacking enemies, it’s inevitably inadequate.

”In this light, it’s understandable why Han Zhan was defeated by me back then.”

Luo Chen murmured to himself.

Clearly, even Han Zhan, who had completely mastered the ’Soul Cleaving Technique’, could not solve this problem.

Therefore, although he seemed to have nine great divided souls, they were actually bloated, and their inherent quality varied, which allowed Luo Chen to break them one by one with the Slaying Dragon Technique.

And now, this problem also appeared on Luo Chen.

Pursuing quantity alone was not what Luo Chen wanted.

However, Luo Chen already had an initial idea for solving this problem.

That is the natal magic item!

A gray miniature cauldron floated above Luo Chen’s head, spinning slowly.

Threads of silver-white lightning arcs occasionally sparked on its surface.

In Luo Chen’s eyes, there was a trace of fear, yet also a bit of anticipation.

”If I use the power of tribulation thunder to temper the divine soul, can I discard the dross and preserve the essence, strengthening the essence of the divine soul?”

”Moreover, not only the divided soul, but even the main soul, if feasible, can also be tempered in this way?”

The kindred of Yin souls fear most the masculine force.

And tribulation thunder, undoubtedly, is the most masculine and positive substance in the world!

If the divided soul can endure the power of tribulation thunder, its strength would be unimaginable.

Luo Chen carefully released the divided soul, while letting the Primordial Chaos Tripod release a wisp of silver-white lightning arc.

Crackle!

As the two touched, Luo Chen was struck as if by lightning, and even the link between the divided soul and the main soul caused his eyes to roll back involuntarily, and he fell directly into a faint.

For a full half day, Luo Chen finally woke up softly, his pale face filled with lingering fear.

In the world, those who dare to use thunder to refine their bodies are already rare.

Like him, using the power of tribulation thunder to refine the soul, there’s no one before or after.

It could be described as willful and bold to the extreme!

But at this moment, despite the lingering fear on Luo Chen’s face, there was also a sense of ecstasy.

”Feasible!”

”Completely feasible!”

”It’s just that the power of the tribulation thunder was too great before. If it could be reduced by half, my divided soul would be able to withstand it.”

The Primordial Chaos Tripod is his natal magic item, and he has some understanding of how to control the output of tribulation thunder power.

Next, all he needed was some experimentation, controlling the precise amount.

Even if improper operation destroyed this divided soul, Luo Chen would not feel regret.

Having learned the ’Soul Cleaving Technique’ and mastered the technique for making the Great Soul Pill, as long as the main soul remained, he could always start over.

And if he could explore and develop such a method of soul refinement, he might surpass Han Zhan’s achievements in soul refinement, turning the previously weak aspect of the divine soul into a strength.

Once the divine soul is powerful, he could also study and learn the corresponding divine soul offensive and defensive techniques!

”The future is bright!”

With a smile, Luo Chen stored the Primordial Chaos Tripod in the Purple Mansion.

Food must be eaten bite by bite, and things must also be done step by step. The wounded divided soul must be supplemented with the Great Soul Pill.

...

On this day, Luo Chen was living alone in the cave mansion.

In front of him was still the chessboard made from the leg bone of a Demon King, but clearly, his attention wasn’t on the shallow encirclement on the Go board, but rather fully concentrated on the jade slip in his hand.

Luo Chen had been studying the Puppet Technique given by Shen Wandou for some time.

The ancient puppet technique, compared to the current one, has little difference, after all, it originated from a niche sect.

Moreover, with occasional guidance from Han Zhan over the century, Luo Chen already had the foundation in puppet techniques.

Thus, he was getting the hang of it quite quickly.

In terms of making puppets, he wasn’t very interested, and in his opinion, making puppets was similar to artifact refining, only changing weapons like knives, guns, swords, and halberds into more complex puppets.

What interested him was the aspect of ”puppet control.”

After a while, Luo Chen set down the jade slip, a look of contemplation on his face.

The basic condition for achieving something in puppet techniques is having a strong divine consciousness and ideally being able to multitask.

This is an old topic.

But it’s said because it’s indeed somewhat true, just because controlling puppets requires a powerful divine consciousness.

Especially some powerful puppets that themselves contain a spirit soul, that’s even more so.

The path of puppet control divides into four levels.

Puppet Control Technique is not up to the standard, Spiritual Power Traction barely enters the door, Divine Consciousness transforms into lines for free manipulation, Soul Seal deeply rooted in profound changes!

”This ’Mysterious Puppet Technique’ indeed records a complete puppet control method, not even omitting the doctrine for creating a soul seal.”

”Shen Wandou indeed gave me a great gift!”

After sighing, Luo Chen pondered again.

With the method of planting a soul seal, is it possible to control that White Tiger Puppet equivalent to the late stage Nascent Soul level?

Can this doctrine really allow him to touch the Sword Spirit within that Blood Sword and refine it to recognize him as its master?

In terms of this experience, he truly had very little.

Especially with such lethal weapons like the White Tiger Puppet and the Blood Sword, it’s unlike his natal magic item, the Primordial Chaos Tripod, which he could command with ease, so he must be cautious, making no room for error.

Otherwise, if those two objects lost control, he would be left to clean up the mess.

Just as Luo Chen was racking his brains, his expression shifted slightly.

”Tian Xuan, come in!”

Outside the cave mansion, Tian Xuan responded and entered.

As soon as he entered, he shook the sleeves of his robe.

”Master, the Black King has returned.”

A Flood Dragon coiled into a ball fell to the ground, its body with open wounds, with weak blue flames burning across it.

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, ”Black King, what happened to you?”

The Black King resentfully said, ”Ran into an enemy, these injuries are a minor issue, but this fire needs Master’s help to deal with it.”

Looking at the blue flames, Luo Chen faintly felt a sense of familiarity.

Combined with the word ”enemy” the Black King mentioned, Luo Chen instantly recalled someone.

And the next moment, his eyes lit up, piercing through the cave mansion.

”Black King, you’ve brought someone back with you!”

The Black King paused, ”Master, how did you know I brought... No, that old bastard followed me!”

He suddenly turned around, the dragon tongue hissing, eyes flashing with ferocity.

Luo Chen waved his hand, stood up.

”An old friend visiting, no need to be so aggressive, stay put while I go meet this old acquaintance.”
