Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Husband does what he must, there’s no need for you to worry. How are you all?” Gu Caiyi asked with concern.

Kong Chan, having transformed into human form, replied, ”Thank you, Mistress, for your concern. Although we appear miserable, it’s only superficial wounds.”

Gu Caiyi glanced at the withered Tian Xuan. Just now, in a confrontation with the Cabinet Raccoon, even her wings were torn with a single move; that wasn’t a superficial wound.

Without hesitation, she took out bottles and jars from her storage ring.

”These are all healing pills personally refined by my husband. Quickly take them to ensure no hidden dangers remain that could affect future cultivation.”

”Thank you!”

”Thank you, Mistress!”

Tian Xuan, Kong Chan, and even Xuan Turtle gratefully accepted the pills.

Blacked King eagerly approached to ask, and Gu Caiyi, with no choice, gave him one too, despite his lack of injuries.

Afterward, the group took a brief rest and flew toward Luo Chen.

Upon arrival, the sight was shocking.

The ground was charred black, with only a single fire tree of light blue and white hues stretching its branches leisurely, as if satisfied with a full meal.

With the swaying of the fire tree, streaks of light emitted.

There were claws, sinews, monster pills, pelts, and so on.

With a casual wave, Luo Chen sent these items flying neatly to the group.

Tian Xuan stared blankly at the blood-stained claws before her; they were the terrifying blades that had just torn her feathered wings with a casual strike.

”You’ve all contributed a lot, and I won’t let you suffer,” Luo Chen said with a smile, signaling to collect these items, ”The fifth-order desolate beast is a treasure. With a little refining, it can wield the power of true devices, and if you have an artifact refining expert forge it well, the future achievements are immeasurable. Xuanming, be careful with the Cabinet Raccoon Beast’s inner core; it’s a great supplement for you, but you can’t absorb it all at once, you need to do it bit by bit.”

Everyone gave their thanks.

Except for Black King, who looked at Luo Chen with eager eyes.

”Master, what about me?”

Luo Chen looked at him speechlessly. The Four Spirits Array was so easily broken, largely because of his lack of effort.

”You?”

Luo Chen snorted coldly.

”In the next battle, you come with me and let the others rest.”

Black King shrank his head, enviously glanced at the treasures others received, and then unwillingly burrowed into Luo Chen’s shoulder.

”Let’s go!”

Luo Chen gazed into the distance.

”According to the map drawn by Qi Xia Emperor, the Kun Mang Ancient Forest is just an insignificant part of the wilderness. The upcoming Chaotic Stone Sky Domain is the place that truly deserves attention.”

...

In the second year.

Within the Chaotic Stone Sky Domain, the canyons crisscrossed, cliffs stood tall.

Earth-shattering sounds continuously echoed from within.

Two towering giants, each a thousand feet tall, were in a life-and-death battle.

One resembled a giant ape, entirely grey-white, recorded in ancient texts as the Ancient Desolate Chaotic Sky Stone Monkey.

The other, with three heads and six arms, wielded a sharp blood sword, and each strike destroyed a mountain. It was Luo Chen.

Wrapped around Luo Chen was a gigantic Black Dragon, occasionally darting its dragon head and claws to bite the Chaotic Sky Stone Monkey.

The battle lasted for three days and nights.

It was only when night fell that the battle concluded.

Under the faint blue firelight, Luo Chen held the stone monkey’s heart, with a look of emotion.

”These desolate beasts truly have resilient life forces, exceedingly difficult to kill.”

Gu Caiyi stood worriedly nearby, ”How about we stop here?”

Luo Chen shook his head, ”No, we still need to continue. This journey has grown beyond merely hunting demons to seize resources. I also need to use this to become familiar with the battles at the Divine Transformation Stage. This is my only chance.”

Luo Chen’s gaze was distant, his thoughts even further.

For nearly a thousand years, the Mountain Sea Realm has witnessed several Divine Transformation battles.

Most were related to Qi Xia Emperor, and most resulted in Qi Xia Emperor’s victory.

Is it because the other Divine Transformation great powers were inadequate?

For someone to cultivate to that realm, how could there be any weaklings?

It’s just that after ascending to Divine Transformation, they lived in peace for so long, rarely confronting strong opponents of the same level, thus lacking combat experience at this realm.

Coming up against Qi Xia Emperor, experienced in battles at the Divine Transformation level, and even the Refining Void realm, they’d naturally be at a disadvantage everywhere.

Luo Chen wondered about the Immortal Realm—is it serene and peaceful, or is it like the Immortal Cultivation World with strife everywhere?

But at the very least, before ascension, he must grasp the combat modes corresponding to this realm.

These desolate beasts, with relatively low spirit intelligence but possessing ample power and pure combat instincts, are his perfect grindstone.

Through battle after battle, he would gradually learn how to control the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and how to wield great divine powers with precision.

The words spoken by Li Canghai in the past were proving true.

Just entering the Divine Transformation, Luo Chen’s constraints by the world’s shackles weren’t yet deep.

If he stayed longer at this realm in the Mountain Sea Realm, it might not be so easy to make a move.
