Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

If this continues, this gentle water will eventually boil the frog, and it will sooner or later be completely refined by Luo Chen’s consciousness.

So it began to resist.

The Primordial Chaos Tripod is Luo Chen’s natal magic item, always connected with his spirit. Luo Chen had long noticed the Kui Ox Ghost God’s secret accumulation of power to escape suppression.

At this moment, the other party wants to make a ”desperate fight,” but Luo Chen is not afraid at all.

There’s no better time than now, might as well achieve a decisive victory here!

The Million Soul-Consuming Banner has long been restless, lacking a main soul.

But just as Luo Chen was about to act, a mysterious induction suddenly came from his divine soul.

”Foundation Establishment?”

Luo Chen blurted out.

In his eyes, there was a glimmer of radiant light.

To his senses, his avatar had actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Counting the time, he should be just twelve years old!

”Entered the Dao at six, Foundation Establishment at twelve... Tsk tsk, this cultivation speed, it was worth all the effort I spent on him!”

Though surprised, there was more joy.

Luo Chen is not worried that the rapid cultivation speed of his avatar will result in any mishaps. True geniuses should defy common expectations.

After all, that body absorbed the potential of his twin sister, nurtured by top-grade water lotus seeds since youth, and merged with a spring containing law origin power.

This configuration already surpasses Luo Chen’s Fire Spirit Body, and is even superior to the Shi Ju he saw back then.

With such a setup, any miraculous cultivation achievements on the avatar would be unsurprising!

”Keep trying hard!”

”One day, you will meet me and merge into one.”

Murmuring, Luo Chen smiled.

Opposite, on the Primordial Chaos Tripod, the silhouette of the Kui Ox had enlarged to the extreme, roaring skyward in the vast Azure Darkness.

Luo Chen’s smile faded, and he pointed to the center of his brow, chanting a Buddhist chant.

”Sah Poh Ke!”

A golden light burst forth from his brow, then enveloped his entire body.

A Primordial Spirit abruptly opened its eyes, enveloping Luo Chen’s physical body, reaching out two large hands towards the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Boom!

Golden flames erupted!

Boom!

Blue fire spread!

At this moment, Luo Chen’s Primordial Spirit’s left hand was Nirvana, the right hand Withering and Flourishing, launching the final refinement attack on the Kui Ox Ghost God!

...

Meanwhile.

On another continent, within the vast Bailu Marsh.

In a waterside pavilion, a delicate young man opened his eyes in a daze.

”Ascension to the Foundation Establishment Stage was so simple?”

In front of him, an unfolded yellowed scroll lay. It was the Zhou Family’s core method for Foundation Establishment breakthroughs. Other disciples were often only orally instructed and had to rely on copies, but this was the original.

This was his privilege, granted by the Zhou Family’s ancestor.

Aside from the Foundation Establishment method, there was a colorful coral, a specially crafted spirit liquid, and three high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills.

These comprehensive preparations were made by Zhou Fuqiu for his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Yet, none were used!

He merely instinctively attempted and succeeded, a success that was simply unbelievable.

If outsiders knew, they would surely be astounded.

Even with Heavenly Spirit Root talent, it shouldn’t have been this smooth.

Even Luo Chen might feel envious knowing this. After all, Luo Chen’s Foundation Establishment was a perilous nine-death journey, barely successful.

And Zhou Fuqiu, so effortlessly crossed that threshold.

With a single thought!

An indescribable force emerged from the youth’s mind, spreading from the center of the Green Water Pavilion outward.

One mile, two miles, three miles... At three miles, it surpassed the norm for an initial Foundation Establishment cultivator, but Zhou Fuqiu didn’t stop this delicate perception, continuing outward.

Four miles, five miles... Until ten miles, he finally felt faint fatigue.

But amidst fatigue, there was more joy.

He knew this perception ability was a hallmark of a cultivator’s ascension to Foundation Establishment, known as ”Spirit Consciousness.”

An average new Foundation Establishment could reach one or two miles, but he expanded to ten!

This reflected Zhou Fuqiu’s profound divine soul endowment.

”Is it due to my physique?”

”But divine soul endowment isn’t much linked to physique, more inherent from birth and naturally growing with time. Why does my divine soul endowment deviate from what’s recorded in the classics?”

Zhou Fuqiu was filled with deep confusion.

For six years, he cultivated without much guidance from elders, mostly relying on self-study and exploration.

Yet his accomplishments often deviated from the classics.

Zhou Fuqiu was unsure what went wrong, but his fatigued divine soul urged him to retract his spirit consciousness.

During retraction, he perceived many scenes of living beings.

The neighbors around the Green Water Pavilion kept their distance, seemingly afraid to disturb him.

Granny Lin directed a few robust women to tidy the courtyard, suddenly hastening towards the kitchen as if remembering something. But her advanced age revealed her frailty.

In a quiet cultivation room, his sister Zhou Qingyu was closing her eyes, striving to sense Spirit Qi, without any spirit power fluctuations. Despite having taken those three pills, her cultivation was still arduous?

When all spirit consciousness retracted, the youth felt changes within his body.

Cloud-like Spirit Qi gathered in the air.

Droplets of incredibly pure spirit liquid drizzled from the clouds, resembling a light rain.

Then it intensified into a heavier rain.

This scene once again defied cultivation classic records.

During normal Foundation Establishment, spirit liquid is extracted drop by drop, yet his poured down like an endless downpour.

Such abundant spirit power breached the scarcity feature of the ”Lu Chan Technique.”

In Zhou Fuqiu’s view, even cultivating the Zhou Family’s ancestral techniques or Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s high-order water element techniques, one couldn’t match him.

Amazedly, Zhou Fuqiu’s hands continued working.

He formed a spiritual secret, channeling vast amounts of spirit liquid to reconstruct the Dantian through the ”Lu Chan Technique” doctrine.

Time passed unknowingly.

Using inner view, Zhou Fuqiu’s heart was utterly stunned by his findings.

The Sea of Qi constructed from the Dantian wasn’t a pond or a river; it was more like an unfathomable abyss.

No matter how torrential the spirit liquid rain, this Sea of Qi endlessly contained it.

”Marvelous!”

”Cultivation is truly marvelous!”

Murmuring, Zhou Fuqiu opened his eyes.

Clad in red coral attire, he neatly gathered the items needed for Foundation Establishment—they could all be given to his sister in the future.

He then took out a large collection of spell tomes gifted by Mo Wanting from his Storage Bag.

From early on, Zhou Fuqiu discovered his terrifying talent in spellcraft.

Understand with just a look, master upon learning!

After some grasp, he could even instantly cast spells!

Such talent, paired with abundant qi power, would waste not learning spells.

Healing Technique, Water Bomb Technique, Water Arrow Technique, Water Prison Technique...

All these first-tier water magic, Zhou Fuqiu barely noticed, having already mastered them privately, proficient and skilled.

Water Avoidance Art, Wave Stepping Technique, Water Dragon Vortex, Glass Sky Canopy...

Just by reading their introductions, Zhou Fuqiu understood their functions.

Escape technique, large-scale group attack, single point attack, defense.

He could learn them all!

But even so, Zhou Fuqiu remained unsatisfied.

He spread his spirit consciousness, scanning several jade slip-stored spells.

”Fog Locked Jade Tower,” ”Nine Bends Heavenly River,” ”Spirit Communication and Form Retention”...

”Third Order?”

”There are even Fourth Order Water Type Techniques!”

”Director Yu Heng Mo Wanting is really generous!”

Zhou Fuqiu felt eager; with his talent, could he learn these Third Order Water Magic?

Hesitant, he subconsciously opened a Third Order Technique marked for cultivation below the Golden Core Period.

Its name—”Mirror Flower, Water Moon!”

In the unseen, he felt this technique would be immensely compatible with him.
