Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Although I am unworthy, I will do my utmost!”

Gongsun Mao nodded and then looked at Luo Chen again.

This time, the appreciation in his eyes reached the peak, even with a hint of comfort.

Before his deadline approached, meeting such a remarkable junior was truly a feeling hard to describe.

”Xuan Luo, your talent has already been verified. However, the courage you exhibited today in not fearing authority, and daring to boldly put forward your ideas, is even more precious. The path of the Dao of Alchemy has accompanied the Immortal Cultivation World for countless epochs since we began cultivating. Its theoretical system has developed to the extreme, with too many people trapped within it, only clinging to old ideas. Your courage may help you walk more smoothly on the path of the Dao of Alchemy.”

”Take out your Alchemist Token!”

Luo Chen, curious, took off the Alchemist Token from his waist.

Yet, everyone in the hall seemed to perceive something, looking at him rather enviously.

Gongsun Mao also took out his own Four-Stripe Alchemist Token, and sent a surge of Qi Power into it.

In an instant, the light transformed, covering Luo Chen’s token.

Luo Chen reached out and accepted it, seeing numbers flashing on it.

[Ten Thousand]

He immediately realized what this was - Sect Contribution Points, a full ten thousand!

The amount that a typical Two-striped Alchemist could never accumulate in a lifetime.

”Master, this...”

”Consider it a reward for your ideas today, and my support for the younger generation!”

Gongsun Mao revealed a gentle smile, ”After all, I don’t have much time left, and storing contribution points doesn’t have much use for me. You should not slacken; if you and He Jun truly succeed, the sect will reward you even more.”

Luo Chen nodded with a complex expression.

His original plan was to accumulate Sect Contribution Points through pill refinement.

Ten thousand is indeed a large amount, but if he displayed a strong pill completion rate, he could accumulate them in a short time.

But he never expected that just by speaking today, he could save years of effort.

Perhaps it truly was, as the other said, an encouragement for the ”junior generation.”

After this, the Dan Testing Conference continued.

But it subtly split into two groups, one large and one small.

The large group followed the theoretical direction of Gongsun Mao and others, while the small group was organized by He Jun.

Among them were pill refiners Luo Chen knew previously, such as Ning Fu and Zhu Xiao.

There were also those he did not know but were interested in his proposed theoretical direction and joined willingly.

However, as Luo Chen was ultimately only a First-tier Alchemist, his participation was not very high.

He also did not plan to invest too much effort in this area.

After all, he had already performed brilliantly earlier; let He Jun and others conduct the experiments.

...

Late at night, the first day of the Dan Testing Conference temporarily ended.

It would continue later, and even when the real attempt to refine the Circulating Qi Pill begins, similar meetings will be held periodically for discussion and problem-solving.

As the meeting dispersed, many people proactively approached Luo Chen for acquaintance.

The number of personal Sound Transmission Jade Pendants he received was no less than ten!

This evidently showcases his outstanding performance today!

Luo Chen did not leave the Alchemy Institute directly but waited in the Dan Court for a while.

Only when Wan Jiu Zhang appeared excited did he accompany him in leaving.

”Did Senior Brother seem to have gained something?”

”Indeed, a Two-striped Alchemist agreed to help refine the elixir, which is their specialty. We should see the finished pill soon.”

”That is excellent.”

”It’s all thanks to the little junior brother’s introduction!”

Wan Jiu Zhang sighed with emotion and then couldn’t help but look at Luo Chen curiously.

Before Luo Chen could ask, he proactively said, ”In the future, if Little Junior Brother needs any medicinal herbs, feel free to find your senior brother me.”

Luo Chen did not refuse, smiling and agreeing certainly, certainly.

The two eventually parted ways at the Kun Ping Cave Mansion.

Wan Jiu Zhang personally watched Luo Chen return home, then leisurely flew towards Jade Spring Peak.

In his mind, the impressive speech Luo Chen made earlier at the Alchemy Institute still occasionally surfaced.

Even Master Gongsun holds Luo Chen in such high regard; how could he not support his own person more from Jade Spring Peak?

Perhaps within one to two hundred years, Jade Spring Peak will also produce a Pill Refinement Grandmaster!

...

The next day.

Luo Chen did not go to the Alchemy Institute to continue participating in the Dan Testing Conference.

Ultimately, in the eyes of outsiders, he is only a One-Stripe Alchemist, not suitable for directly participating in the trial refinement of Second Order Pills.

Moreover, for him, pill refinement is just a process.

The result he desires is to gain a large number of contribution points to achieve other goals.

Early in the morning, Luo Chen hurried to Chuan Gong Hall.

Unlike others who waited for High Order Cultivators to lecture, Luo Chen directly entered the Book Collection Pavilion!

As Su Ling Sect is a wealthy Refining Void Power, naturally, the number of books stored in the sect is considerable.

An entire nine-story high Book Collection Pavilion, itself, speaks volumes.

As soon as he stepped inside the pavilion, a bright Divine Consciousness swept over him.

Luo Chen took out his Alchemist Token, and the contribution point amount made the person slightly stunned.

”The sixth floor and below are available for borrowing and copying, with corresponding contribution points indicated on the side.”

”The disciple understands.”

Luo Chen replied and entered the first floor.

The Divine Consciousness hovered for a while before slowly withdrawing.

”A Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator guarding the Book Collection Pavilion; they are certainly attentive.”

Luo Chen smirked, and began walking around the spacious first floor.

From time to time, he took out a book to browse roughly, while his Divine Perception had already swept across the entire Book Collection Pavilion.
