Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Disturbing the senior.”

Luo Chen apologized, then went down to the first floor, took the book list he had noted earlier, and handed it to a gray-clad old man who looked to have only Golden Core cultivation.

The old man glanced at Luo Chen, then scanned the list, his brows furrowing at once.

”Are you sure you want to exchange for so many techniques?”

Luo Chen nodded.

The old man’s tone suddenly became severe, ”The Sect doesn’t impose much restriction on techniques below Nascent Soul, but you should understand the principle that too much is hard to chew. You’ve marked down thirteen gold element techniques, are you able to practice them all? And the Foundation Establishment Stage ones are fine, but why are you exchanging for Qi Refinement Stage and Golden Core Stage ones as well?”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”Thank you, senior, for your guidance. Xuan Luo knows the principle, but my situation is somewhat different from ordinary people.”

”Oh?” The old man curiously stared at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen explained his background.

The old man seemed thoughtful, continually sizing up Luo Chen, ”So you were a rogue cultivator before, entered through the Spiritual Assembly.”

Luo Chen nodded, ”Yes, during my rogue cultivator days, I focused too much on improving my realm and lacked in Protective Dao Techniques. So now I want to exchange for some Qi Refinement Stage gold element techniques to solidify my foundation. As for the higher-order Golden Core Stage techniques, I just want to broaden my horizons.”

The old man shook his head, ”If the realm is not achieved, the true intent cannot be seen. Any high-order magic spell has cultivation thresholds, such as Qi Power, such as Divine Consciousness.”

Luo Chen said with a smile: ”So the Golden Core Stage techniques I chose are relatively shallow, with low thresholds. And senior might not know, disciples are gifted with Sharp Gold Body, having a high affinity for gold element techniques. A simple cultivation should pose no problem.”

This time, the old man was genuinely surprised.

He carefully evaluated Luo Chen for a while before finally stroking his beard with a nod.

”Xuan Luo? Are you under Yaoxi True Master?”

”Yes!”

”Alright, pay the Contribution Points, and I will record the techniques for you.”

Luo Chen took out his Alchemist Token, which surprised the old man once more.

But this time, the other party did not ask further, and after collecting the Contribution Points, quickly recorded the technique copies for Luo Chen.

After Luo Chen left with a pile of techniques, the gray-clad old man couldn’t help but sigh.

At such an age, with such talent and realm, he should have promising prospects.

Yet being distracted by techniques and involving in the Dao of Alchemy, he might have limited achievements in the future.

I wonder how Junior Sister Yaoxi is guiding her disciple?

Junior Sister Yaoxi has been focusing on her cultivation ever since she heard the Sect Master lecture years ago.

Two hundred years passed at Jade Spring Peak, still no second Nascent Soul True Master, indicating Yaoxi truly isn’t too concerned with her disciple’s cultivation.

Judging from the magical aura on Xuan Luo earlier, he should be cultivating ”Taiyi Geng Metal Transformation Mysterious Chapter,” perhaps Elder Tian Ge’s Nascent Soul True Master might open a path to take Xuan Luo under serious teaching, to avoid wasting a good seed.

”This matter isn’t urgent, wait a while to see, it might just be youthful indecisiveness, there might be changes in the future.”

Considering that changing sects might affect Junior Sister Yaoxi, the gray-clad elder temporarily suppressed his appreciation for talents.

As darkness deepened, the Book Collection Pavilion doors gradually closed.

...

Inside Kun Ping Cave Mansion.

Luo Chen looked at the thirteen techniques exchanged today and clicked his tongue twice.

One Sect Contribution Point corresponds to one Lower Grade Spirit Stone.

And a normal First Order Techniques starts at a hundred Contribution Points.

Second Order Techniques are as high as over a thousand.

Today, exchanging for thirteen techniques, including four First Order Techniques and six Second Order Techniques, cost a total of seven thousand Contribution Points.

And the most basic, barely considered Third Order Technique gold element technique, valued at three thousand Contribution Points.

In one go, the ten thousand Contribution Points gifted by Gongsun Mao were completely consumed.

This Su Ling Sect, while conditions for technique exchange are lenient, the price is truly hard to bear.

Luo Chen thought of this and then his lips slightly raised.

Clearly, this is Su Ling Sect’s rule to encourage disciples to contribute more to the Sect.

”Strange, I too have started to haggle over little benefits, have I interacted too much with these lower order cultivators, returning to the mindset during Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment?”

Luo Chen chuckled silently, no longer caring about these trivial details.

Ten thousand Sect Contribution Points are worth only a little over ten thousand Spirit Stones.

To him, it’s completely negligible.

But if he could cultivate all thirteen techniques to great perfection, he would gain sixty-five Achievement Points.

This truly is a huge profit!

Immediately, Luo Chen did not hesitate.

Without even looking at the technique record copy, he directly started practicing the techniques he exchanged today.

First, the First Order Technique Golden Glow Needle!

In an instant, a fine golden thorn appeared in front of Luo Chen.

With his Spirit Power altering and adjusting, the golden thorn sometimes enlarged, sometimes shrank, silently flying back and forth.

At the same time.

On the Attribute Panel, the Golden Glow Needle entry was constantly changing.

Proficiency, Mastery, Perfection, Grandmaster, until Finalization!

In just a few breaths, Qi Refinement Cultivators take days or even months to barely become beginners in the First Order gold element technique, he had cultivated it to the great perfection level.

And five Achievement Points were easily acquired!

Luo Chen did not stop, continuing with other techniques.

On the Attribute Panel, the proficiency entries were also crazily changing.

When he practiced the top Second Order Technique Ten Thousand Sword Technique to great perfection, the panel’s end already had sixty Achievement Points added.
