Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Cold, lifeless silence.

This is where the vast Azure Darkness lies.

Only occasionally do swarms of Sky Worms fly by, their chirping adding a touch of color to this monotonous place.

But in reality, beneath these heavens, a black-clothed figure sits cross-legged, surrounded by massive amounts of scarlet Sword Qi, swirling endlessly like a storm.

Upon closer inspection, you would find the Sword Qi faintly exhibiting three colors: pale red, deep purple, dark red.

The three types of Sword Qi were originally distinct, but under the continuous exhalation of the Daoist, they gradually became unified in color.

Scarlet red!

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the scarlet Sword Qi around him like the evening glow, his eyes showing satisfaction.

This ”Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture” is exceedingly troublesome to cultivate. Not only is the required Sky Qi expensive and scarce, but it is also extremely difficult to refine.

At the Beginner Level, it takes more than half a year to refine a single strand.

He spent a full fifty to sixty years to elevate his proficiency to the First Order.

The difficulty of reaching the level of ”Thousand Clouds Flowing Together” speaks for itself.

Yet, as Luo Chen gradually mastered this sword scripture, the refining speed unexpectedly took a significant leap forward.

Having left the Eastern Wasteland and arrived at ”Zhongzhou”, it took a total of fourteen years to elevate it from mastery to perfection level.

Upon reaching perfection level, Luo Chen discovered new transformations.

”Originally incompatible Chi Xiao Qi, Purple Cloud Qi, and Jiang Xiao Qi perfectly fused together, forming Chi Xiao Sword Qi most suitable for my Fire Spirit Body. The expected increase in power from changes in quantity was anticipated, but the power of a single strand doubled!”

”This is what pure change brings!”

”Moreover, the refining speed improved further. Refining a strand of Sword Qi next requires only twenty days.”

”Which means, if I want to elevate from Perfection Level Proficiency to Grandmaster Level, given enough Sky Qi, it only takes about eleven years.”

Having calculated simply, Luo Chen’s spirits lifted greatly.

He does not know if others experience the same situation with this sword scripture, but for him, it is immensely beneficial.

Ordinary Chi Xiao Sword Qi, in the Nascent Soul Stage, is already deemed a formidable combat method.

Now the perfect level Chi Xiao Sword Qi doubles in power, and its lethality is almost no weaker than the Great Five Elements Sword Formation Luo Chen meticulously refined before.

What about the Grandmaster Level Chi Xiao Sword Qi?

And even when this Fifth-Order Sword Scripture reaches great perfection level?

Giving up everything, alone in this desolate and silent place refining his cultivation technique, enduring indescribable loneliness, Luo Chen hopes the final outcome won’t disappoint him.

As for whether the final outcome aligns with Luo Chen’s expectations, he temporarily does not know. But through these years of arduous cultivation, Luo Chen gained additional benefits.

The first is the sudden burst in realm bringing unstable Qi, gradually settling down in refining Sword Qi.

Now he can manipulate internal Qi as he wishes, without worrying about the hazards from unstable foundations.

The second...

Luo Chen glanced at where his Purple Mansion resides, corresponding to which the Nascent Soul inside it also opened its eyes.

Clad in Xuan Chen Armor, holding an antiquated Blood Sword in both hands.

This sword, compared to before, is more lively.

On closer inspection, the bloody color seems to flow like liquid.

Especially the blood groove on the sword, akin to human blood vessels, is crystal clear.

This Pseudo-Spirit Treasure, after absorbing the blood of two Divine Transformation Great Powers and countless life forms, through Luo Chen’s open-hearted refinement, is finally about to take the final step to evolve into a true Spiritual Treasure!

Luo Chen’s Divine Consciousness slowly withdrew.

Now is not the time to be hasty.

From his artifact refining knowledge, the Yuan Tu Sword and ordinary True Devices advancing to a Spiritual Treasure have significant differences.

The Treasure Sword itself has one ”Artifact Spirit”, and it will give birth to another in the future; who will be dominant, or if they will merge, remains unknown.

This requires Luo Chen’s constant attention and careful nurturing and refining, ensuring not to fail at the last moment.

Lastly, Luo Chen gained another benefit.

His Qi power slowly spread out, flowing gently through the Azure Darkness.

This realm seemed perceptive, sending a large amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from all directions to surround Luo Chen, as if it could be driven by him whenever he wished.

Furthermore, if Luo Chen could condense a Primordial Spirit, he could quickly convert it into Qi within his body anytime.

This scene is the hallmark of the Divine Transformation Great Power!

Divine Consciousness merging with the vast heavens, controlling immeasurable Primordial Qi!

Thus, Divine Transformation Great Powers avoid acting unless necessary, but when they do, the lightest movement can forcefully break mountains and land, or ignite seas and sink continents.

And they are not limited by environmental constraints.

Even places like Azure Darkness Void, commonly understood as Dead Spirit Lands, they can persist because there is a constant endless stream of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Suddenly!

As Luo Chen attracted a massive influx of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the long-slumbering Primordial Chaos Tripod trembled suddenly.

Roaring beast sounds erupted rampantly from inside.

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

”Have you noticed I’ve advanced again, so you’re getting anxious?”

The Primordial Chaos Tripod shook wildly, with a phantom even floating out, expanding and wanting to break free from the Great Cauldron.

The incomplete Kui Ox Ghost God did indeed sense Luo Chen’s changes.

It can no longer sit idly waiting for death.
