Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Suddenly!

The lights flickered within the hall, and a fragrant breeze swept through.

The three of them bowed and called out in unison, ”Master!”

Yaoxi swept her gaze over the three, a look of satisfaction appearing in her eyes.

Through her Divine Consciousness, she naturally knew that these three registered disciples had all completed the transformation of their master cultivation techniques and that their Spirit Power had become much purer.

It was evident that their comprehension was not low, and they were very diligent.

With such talent and mindset, they could become her true disciples.

But just as she was about to shift her gaze, she suddenly exclaimed.

”Xuan Luo, you’ve reached the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yue and Feng Zhiyan instinctively turned their gaze towards Luo Chen, quite astonished.

The cultivation techniques of the Su Ling Sect are profound and mysterious, and being able to transform them in ten years was already not easy, yet Xuan Luo even managed to break through a minor realm.

Luo Chen replied respectfully, ”Master’s gaze is as penetrating as fire; indeed, I have cultivated to the Fourth Level Foundation Establishment.”

Yaoxi praised with admiration, ”I did not expect your Sharp Gold Body and Spirit Root to be so well-matched. Being a Rogue Cultivator outside really hindered you!”

Luo Chen smiled, ”It is all thanks to the miraculous cultivation techniques bestowed by Master and the assistance of the sect’s cave mansion!”

Yaoxi was indifferent. With Luo Chen’s talent, even without the sect’s assistance and profound techniques, even as a wandering Rogue Cultivator, he could achieve great achievements in the future.

In this case, the Su Ling Sect truly found a treasure.

She glanced over the three, falling into contemplation.

Ji Yue and Feng Zhiyan were somewhat uneasy, very worried about what the other party would say next.

Luo Chen, on the contrary, remained calm and composed.

In fact, his real realm was definitely not as simple as the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.

In ten years, he not only cultivated the ”Gold Transformation Technique” to perfection but also absorbed a large amount of Spirit Qi through the ”Chaos Undying Scripture,” pushing his realm to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, and even to the Ninth Level Foundation Establishment!

If he desired, he could even condense the Golden Core in the next moment.

The reason for not revealing this was merely to conceal his brilliance, not wanting to be too astonishing.

Condensing a Golden Core before a hundred years is considered a peerless genius.

If someone formed a Golden Core at the age of thirty, it’s almost like the reincarnation of an immortal.

It might attract the attention of the Su Ling Sect Master, Taisu Spirit Monarch.

Luo Chen could not deceive a Void Refining True Monarch’s Divine Perception now!

When Yaoxi True Master was examining the advancement of the three, Luo Chen was actually quietly observing this inexpensive master.

When the other entered the hall, causing the lights to flicker, he noticed something unusual.

The other party’s Qi Power was abundant, and some was even leaking out.

This clear anomaly indicated a sign of an impending breakthrough.

The sect’s disciples’ claims of Yaoxi True Master’s upcoming advancement to the Late Stage Nascent Soul didn’t seem like mere rumors!

Amidst the three waiting, Yaoxi finally gave her answer.

”Very well, you’ve all passed my assessment and can remove the title of registered, becoming my true disciples.”

The three collectively let out a sigh of relief, performing a ceremonial bow, and chanting their Master’s title once again.

Yaoxi True Master smiled slightly, then sighed and said, ”It’s just unfortunate that I am at a critical juncture in my cultivation and cannot personally guide you in your cultivation.”

Ignoring the disappointment on the three’s faces, she continued, ”You’ve all transformed your master cultivation techniques, which are enough to cultivate to the next realm. If you have questions, you can inquire with Senior Brother Wan Jiu Zhang. If he’s unavailable, you can also ask other senior brothers and sisters.”

”Xuan Luo, you have a special situation. Your Sharp Gold Body grants you an innate advantage in cultivating Gold Attribute Techniques. I fear that during my deep closed-door cultivation, you might break through to the Golden Core Period.”

”To prevent any shortage of follow-up cultivation techniques, I shall now impart you with a complete cultivation technique.”

Amidst envious glances from the other two, a jade slip flew out from Yaoxi True Master’s bracelet, hovering in front of Luo Chen.

Yaoxi True Master looked at the jade slip with some solemnity and said, ”This cultivation technique is called the ’Taiyi Geng Metal Transformation Mysterious Chapter’. It is a top-tier technique that can lead straight to the Divine Transformation Stage. Even within the Su Ling Sect, it is one of the most superior legacies. Only a few in Elder Tian Ge’s line, a Divine Transformation Great Power, are cultivating it. I’ve put in quite an effort to acquire the complete Chapter. If you have leisure in the future, you should often go to Tian Ge Mountain to exchange experiences with the senior brothers there.”

”Additionally, I’ve set up seals at each stage, requiring a breakthrough to the current realm before you can browse the subsequent cultivation techniques.”

”Remember, although cultivation might progress quickly, you must not be greedy for advancement. Otherwise, if your Dao Heart is unstable, you will surely experience a demonic deviation!”

These words were spoken with great detail, getting rather stern at the end with a strict warning.

However, the heartfelt guidance contained therein was felt by all.

Luo Chen, holding the jade slip, deeply moved, promised Yaoxi that he would cultivate steadily and diligently.

”Alright, you may withdraw now. If you wish to change cave mansions, you can go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall with your True Disciple Token.”

Yaoxi True Master waved her hand, and the three gradually took their leave.

Upon exiting the hall, Luo Chen turned back for a glance.

A look of distress appeared on Yaoxi True Master’s face, and she kept rubbing her brow with her finger.

Breaking through to the Late Stage Nascent Soul is no easy feat!

Many extraordinarily talented individuals have been stuck at this small realm.

But if one can successfully break through, they can not only become a great cultivator admired by the world, but also have the hope of advancing to the Divine Transformation Stage.

Divine Transformation!

That is the stage where one could ascend to the Immortal Realm and be recorded in the Immortal records!

It’s imaginable that Yaoxi True Master’s upcoming closed-door cultivation will surely take considerable time.

By the time she emerges, perhaps I will have naturally advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage.

But before that, I should brush up my Achievement Points first!

...

Upon leaving Yuquan Palace, the three were relieved, their faces full of joy.

Feng Zhiyan, in a playful and charming manner, cupped her hands and cheerfully addressed the two: ”Brother Xuan Luo, Brother Ji Yue!”

Ji Yue, not wanting to be left out, switched titles for both of them.

In front of Luo Chen, he hesitated for a moment before finally calling out ”Brother Xuan Luo.”

Luo Chen smiled, ”Junior Sister Feng, Junior Brother Ji, what are your plans next?”

Feng Zhiyan enthusiastically replied, ”The cultivation technique I switched to is very fitting, and I have also sensed where the bottleneck lies, so I plan to enter closed-door cultivation again and strive to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

”Strike while the iron is hot and make a concerted effort; that’s quite a good idea.” Luo Chen expressed his approval, then looked towards Ji Yue.

The other pondered for a moment, showing a longing look.

”I’m a bit tired after ten years of closed-door cultivation, so I want to roam around the Three Halls and Five Courtyards before deciding my plans next.”

Luo Chen waved his hand grandly, ”Then let’s go together, I also want to check it out.”

The three then parted ways.

Feng Zhiyan stayed at Jade Spring Peak, while Luo Chen flew towards the Three Halls and Five Courtyards with Ji Yue.

...

No need to visit the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, as neither of them plans to change their Cave Mansion for now.

Chuan Gong Hall is of the most interest to them, and coincidentally, a Golden Core Ascendant Master was lecturing that day, so they went to listen.

Naturally, Luo Chen wasn’t interested in the lectures and teachings of the Golden Core Cultivator; he was interested in the Book Collection Pavilion within Chuan Gong Hall, which is the richest and most comprehensive collection of books besides the Sect Master and the Eight Great Divinity Transformation Elders in Su Ling Sect.

Not only are there cultivation technique books, but also magic secret records, travelogues, and more.

Unfortunately, with a True Disciple Token, one can only view books correspondent to their own realm.

To see more, sect contribution points are needed!

And sect contribution points come from Foreign Affairs Hall and the Five Courtyards.

The Foreign Affairs Hall is easy to understand; completing tasks assigned by the sect naturally earns contribution points.

As for the Five Courtyards...

”Whether it’s researching spirit medicine cultivation, or pill refinement and array formation, or law enforcement and patrol mastering various arts, any innovation or breakthrough can earn a significant amount of contribution points. Moreover, mastering these skills makes it more convenient to take on tasks from the Foreign Affairs Hall compared to others.”

The disciple on duty at Chuan Gong Hall explained this way to Luo Chen.

Upon hearing that Luo Chen is skilled in gold attribute techniques, said disciple enthusiastically recommended him to go to the Law Enforcement Institute.

Because gold element cultivators are often adept at combat!

But after some thought, Luo Chen still headed to the gate of the Alchemy Institute.

It’s not just because he is skilled in pill refinement; it’s a path he knows well.

Also...

”The pill refinement system in the Spirit Realm is unknown in comparison to the Mountain Sea Realm, so it’s necessary to get familiar to avoid being caught later.”

”Moreover, amongst the vast alchemy heritage obtained from Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, three pill formulas are yet to be unsealed.”

”Soul-Stabilizing and Void-Examining, these two pill formulas are correspondent to elixirs in the Refining Void Stage. As for the Harmonization Pill, which is as high as the eighth tier, it’s clearly related to the Integration Realm.”

With long-term planning in mind, Luo Chen needs to start preparing now.

Watching the bustling Glints coming and going at the Alchemy Institute, Luo Chen squinted his eyes slightly, hesitated no longer, and strode forward.

The disciples seeking pills around them were oblivious, merely assuming Luo Chen to be just an ordinary cultivator.

However, they did not know that today, the Alchemy Institute of Su Ling Sect was welcoming a Saint Dan Dao!
