Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The Five Courtyards within the Three Halls and Five Courtyards are named as courtyards, but they are far more than just small courtyard gardens.

In reality, the Alchemy Institute that Luo Chen currently sees spans a vast area, comparable in size to some ordinary Golden Core Sects in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Three Spirit Mountains are arranged in a triangular shape from high to low.

The dense Spirit Qi and various complex pill fragrances intertwine and mingle, causing discomfort for Immortal Cultivators who are not accustomed to pill refinement upon first entering the Alchemy Institute.

The two mountains on either side are respectively called Spirit Pill Peak and Miao Dan Peak.

The cultivators going in and out are mostly of the Golden Core Foundation Generation.

And the mountain at the rear, which is also the tallest, is called Dan Emperor Mountain.

Luo Chen sensed many Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators inside, and even the breath of Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Luo Chen thought briefly and understood the purpose of the setup here.

Su Ling Sect is truly colossal.

Even if it’s just one Alchemy Institute, the number of cultivators within is in the thousands, and the range of elixirs involved is immensely diverse.

Thus, the three pill mountains were divided.

From the complex pill qi drifting from the sky, one can discern that the three pill mountains respectively correspond to Fourth Order Pills, Third Order Pills, and Second and First Order Pills.

In this way, other disciples within the sect can have a clear path for seeking elixirs, without feeling lost or confused.

With Luo Chen’s pill refinement technique, he could naturally go directly to Dan Emperor Mountain.

But now he is ”Xuan Luo.”

Just a new disciple who joined the sect ten years ago.

Everything must start from scratch.

However, wanting to reach Dan Emperor Mountain is merely a matter of time for Luo Chen.

He smiled and directly walked towards a courtyard at the entrance of the Alchemy Institute.

Dan Court!

Inside, cultivators were busy and bustling.

Upon entering, Luo Chen was stopped by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

”Register please!”

”Jade Spring True Inheritance—Xuan Luo.”

”Realm?”

”Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.”

The cultivator looked at Luo Chen with surprise, such a young Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

Even though most of the cultivation techniques on Jade Spring Peak have the effect of preserving youth, Luo Chen appears extraordinarily young, giving a strong sense of youthfulness.

In reality, Luo Chen’s youthful appearance was a deliberate choice.

To avoid attracting attention from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, he abandoned his previous tough and mature image, modifying his facial muscles to appear unusually fair and more attractive.

If outsiders judge only by his appearance, anyone would think Luo Chen is just a rookie.

The registering cultivator curiously said, ”Brother seems unfamiliar?”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”I’ve been in the sect for just ten years; it’s normal that you don’t recognize me.”

”Ten years?”

The registering cultivator was slightly stunned but quickly reacted.

Wasn’t ten years ago the Spiritual Assembly?

Most of the rogue cultivators recruited during that Spiritual Assembly are practicing in the External Sect.

Those who occasionally enter the Inner Sect are merely ordinary disciples, and there hasn’t been news of anyone being taken as a true disciple by a peak master.

But there are exceptions!

That exception being Yaoxi True Master—a host during the Spiritual Assembly ten years ago—who personally took three registered disciples, including one at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The timeline fits, and so does the realm.

The registering cultivator adopted a solemn expression, bowing his fists in courtesy: ”It turns out to be a disciple under a True Master. I am Lü Su, greeting Brother.”

Luo Chen reciprocated the courtesy, ”No need for formalities, Junior Brother Lü.”

Lü Su put away his serious demeanor, smiling as he pointed at the registration book: ”Brother Xuan Luo, what brings you to the Alchemy Institute? Seeking elixirs or customized medicine?”

Luo Chen asked puzzledly, ”Is there a difference?”

”Of course, there’s a difference, quite a big one.”

Lü Su then provided a detailed explanation to Luo Chen.

The three peaks within the Alchemy Institute produce a large quantity of elixirs annually.

The First Order Pills produced by Miao Dan Peak are usually hung for sale at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

The three peaks only sell Second to Fourth Order elixirs.

Su Ling Sect disciples can directly purchase from the Alchemy Institute as long as they have Spirit Stones or contribution points.

There’s a peculiar detail here: the purchasing power of contribution points is far greater than that of Spirit Stones!

Luo Chen noted this information.

Furthermore, regarding the difference between seeking elixirs and customized medicine, Lü Su explained extensively.

What was mentioned earlier counts as seeking elixirs, buying them with Spirit Stones or contribution points.

As for customized medicine, it’s rather troublesome.

This scenario typically occurs when a cultivator can’t find the desired elixir within the sect or marketplace, so they come to the Alchemy Institute to request a Pill Refiner to specially create it.

Not only must you provide the medicinal materials and pill formula, but you must also pay the Pill Refiner a substantial fee.

Note: It’s a substantial fee!

In many cases, the value of the fee alone often exceeds the elixir itself.

After all, refining an unfamiliar elixir requires the Pill Refiner to expend major effort and time, possibly facing multiple failures, and even the risk of an exploded furnace, etc.

Actually, midway through the explanation, Luo Chen understood.

Isn’t it just customized elixirs!

He had been proficient in such things long ago.

Back in the early Nascent Soul Stage when returning to the Eastern Wasteland, he did such things to make a name for himself.

Claiming that no pill couldn’t be refined, he specially crafted new elixirs for many Nascent Souls in the Eastern Wasteland, indeed collecting unimaginably large fees.

For instance, a large amount of Nine Heavens Qi.

For instance, Ling Fengzi himself!

After understanding this, Luo Chen felt he had indeed come to the right place.

With his mastery of various skills, whether in the Spirit Medicine Institute, Array Institute, or even Hundred Skills Institute, he could achieve gains, but nowhere could offer multiple routes to gain contribution points like the Alchemy Institute.
