Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Liu Muchan shook her head with a smile, ”The cultivation techniques of our Jade Spring Peak lineage mostly have effects of preserving youth and appearance, so one can’t discern the exact age by looks. In truth, Master must be over four hundred years old.”

”So old?” Feng Zhiyan was incredibly surprised.

Liu Muchan nodded, ”From what I know, Master formed her Nascent Soul about two hundred years ago. Only then did she barely have the opportunity to attend the Sect Master’s lecture after his breakthrough. You might not know this, but a Void Refining True Monarch’s lectures aren’t something ordinary people can attend, at least one must be in the Nascent Soul Realm to be able to listen. Ever since listening to the Sect Master’s lectures, Master’s cultivation progress has been leaps and bounds, rarely showing herself, but based on some senior brothers’ speculations, Master might be close to the Late Stage Nascent Soul.”

”Late Stage Nascent Soul!”

At this, it wasn’t just Feng Zhiyan who reacted.

Even Ji Yue, who had been silent all along, exclaimed.

Late Stage Nascent Soul already makes one a significant figure in the Immortal Cultivation World, capable of overseeing a region.

Beyond that, it’s the stage where one can establish a sect as a Divine Transformation Great Power!

Liu Muchan had a look of proud anticipation, imagining, ”Master has a very short cultivation time but is extraordinarily talented, together with Master Liting and five others, are titled the Seven True of Su Ling, the ones most likely to break through to the Divine Transformation Stage. If that day truly comes, perhaps our Jade Spring Peak can become a lineage parallel to the Eight Great Divinity Transformation Elders.”

And with that imagination, back to reality.

”Alright, I’ll first take Xuan Luo and Ji Yue to choose their cave mansions!”

Liu Muchan held a map, where red lights flickered, but many designated white spots remained dimmed.

Those white spots are independent small cave mansions.

Ji Yue had been itching with eagerness for quite some time; he is the only Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator among the three, young, only twenty-six years old.

This also is why Yaoxi True Master noticed him and accepted him as a registered disciple.

With such talent, naturally, he needs a cave mansion full of dense Spirit Qi.

Soon, Ji Yue found an ideal location.

Then it was Luo Chen’s turn.

When Luo Chen chose a cave mansion with ordinary Spirit Qi underground, Liu Muchan couldn’t help but frown.

”Junior Brother Xuan Luo, are you sure about this place?”

Ji Yue released his Spirit Consciousness to examine the location and instinctively frowned.

In their view, this place neither has rich Power of Gold Element nor Fire Attribute Earth Vein, but rather ample Earth Attribute Spiritual Qi.

This doesn’t quite fit Luo Chen’s physique!

However, Luo Chen nodded with determination.

”This place will do! Although its Spirit Qi is average, it wins in being serene and undisturbed. Besides, the earth bears gold, which is beneficial to me.”

Seeing Luo Chen’s insistence, Liu Muchan stopped objecting, allowing the two to imprint their Spirit Consciousness on the cave mansion map.

The white dot flickered, transforming into a red glow, indicating the location is now owned.

”Alright, you should clean up the cave mansion to prepare for the ten years of arduous cultivation ahead; go directly there! Junior Sister Zhiyan, come with me to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to return the map, and then I’ll take you back to Jade Spring Peak to cultivate.”

”Goodbye, Senior Sister Liu!”

”Goodbye, Senior Sister Liu!”

After everyone left, Luo Chen hovered above a basin, a smile emerging on his calm face.

His chosen location, although seemingly ordinary, had unique aspects under his Spirit Vision.

This place is where several Spirit Veins converge.

Not only is it a place where Spirit Qi from one Spirit Vein overflows, but it connects several other large Spirit Veins.

Just because the Earth Qi descends, the Spirit Veins appear sullied and the Spirit Qi isn’t abundant.

But for Luo Chen, who cultivates the Chaos Undying Scripture, capable of converting various attribute energies, it posed no problem.

To him, although it seemed to be from a Second Order Spirit Vein, the effectiveness equals that of a Third Order Spirit Vein.

If he greedily extracts the main energy from several other veins, the effect would be...

”That kind of commotion would be too conspicuous, inviting unwanted attention. It’s better to cultivate peacefully to the Golden Core Period, then choose another independent cave mansion!”

Luo Chen smiled as he descended into the basin.

Using the Cave Mansion Token, he entered an underground chamber.

Inside, the tables, chairs, and beds remained intact, though dusted over, indicating it hadn’t been used for cultivation for quite some time.

Luo Chen didn’t mind; he planned to extend downwards from the cave mansion’s foundation, where the Spirit Veins converge, making it his true cave mansion.

Before that.

Luo Chen flicked his hand, a Jade Slip appearing in front of him.

This was the cultivation technique previously bestowed by Yaoxi True Master.

The Gold Transformation Technique.

Scanning it with Divine Perception, Luo Chen first nodded, then shook his head.

Indeed, it is an excellent Foundation Establishment Stage technique, capable of greatly enhancing a cultivator’s Spirit Power.

But it’s merely a partial fragment; there should be continuity above, and observing its upper limit, it likely extends beyond the Golden Core Nascent Soul Stage.

”A cultivation technique reaching the Divine Transformation Stage?”

”Well, it’s worth practicing!”

”Whether to cope with Yaoxi’s inspections or later to obtain continuation techniques, facilitating my advancement to the Divine Transformation Stage.”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, then waved his sleeve.

Dust rose up in spirals throughout the cave mansion, expelled outside, leaving it pristine.

Then!

Luo Chen pressed a palm onto the ground.

Under the cave mansion, rumbling noises echoed.

Luo Chen, clad in sect blue Daoist robes, transformed into a stream of light, disappearing deep into the Earth Vein.
