Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The greater the number of Achievement Points, the better, naturally.

Luo Chen focused his thoughts, and large quantities of Five Elements Techniques gradually flew out from his storage ring.

Looking at these techniques, Luo Chen, who originally intended to study them as before, suddenly had a new thought.

”According to the ’Taiyi Geng Metal Transformation Mysterious Chapter’, the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal condensed during the Foundation Establishment Stage can be nurtured as a Natal Magic Item after reaching the Golden Core Period.”

”What if I practice a massive amount of techniques to the Great Perfection Level, then condense them into Dharma Seals, and inscribe them onto the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal?”

”Could it be that the technique Dharma Seal and the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal serve as another form of Talisman?”

”This idea has a certain feasibility, after all, it’s merely changing the carrier from Talisman paper to the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal on the Golden Core.”

”If successful, even the more intricate high-Order magic spells could be cast instantaneously.”

”In the future, upon reaching the Nascent Soul Transformation God Realm, I could even attempt to solidify Divine Powers onto the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal!”

As he thought of this, even Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel his breath quickening.

He was bold by nature, and the Chaos Undying Body provided him with enough confidence.

He began experimenting directly.

...

Finally, after a month-long competition, the sect tournament came to an end.

Many prodigies emerged from it, receiving tournament rewards and capturing the attention of some High Order Cultivators.

Especially the rogue cultivators who had joined through the Spiritual Assembly, seized the opportunity to make a good impression.

Those who performed excellently were admitted to the Inner Sect, becoming disciples of High Order Cultivators.

For a time, many tales of excellence spread around.

However, after the tournament ended, another piece of news circulated from top to bottom, spreading from Nascent Soul True Masters to all disciples across various peaks and branches.

It was that the Alchemy talent Xuan Luozi successfully formed a core during the sect tournament on Spirit Pill Peak, stepping into the Golden Core Period!

This news truly amazed many people.

Alongside his terrifying talent in the Dao of Alchemy, Xuan Luozi could reach the status of a Golden Core Ascendant Master at the age of six cycles, showcasing his outstanding gift in cultivation.

Many even considered this a rumor.

However, with Tie Ma True Master accepting him as a disciple publicly, supported by testimonies from the Pill Refinement Grandmasters of Dan Emperor Mountain, rumors ceased to stand.

Eventually, even the details of Xuan Luozi’s breakthrough and core formation were revealed.

It’s said that when Xuan Luo formed his core, an extremely grand celestial phenomenon was triggered.

The resulting Spirit Qi Vortex lasted for more than half a day, covering an area of over a hundred miles, enveloping the entire Spirit Pill Peak.

One can imagine the immense assistance such a profound Spirit Power Reversal provided to cultivators.

It’s likely that once Xuan Luo emerges from seclusion, his Realm Power would far surpass that of typical Early Golden Core Stage cultivators, wouldn’t it?

...

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the cave mansion, Luo Chen maintained a calm expression, his Divine Perception sinking into his Sea of Qi.

On the Five-Colored Golden Core, five radiant Chapters were meticulously inscribed.

Each Chapter contained numerous Dharma Seals, resembling Talisman symbols, lying silently within.

Suddenly, Luo Chen opened his eyes, pointing with sword-like fingers, and instantly struck a point.

Without forming any seals, a magnificent vision of ten thousand swords simultaneously emerging appeared behind him, the resonating metallic clash echoing throughout the cave mansion.

Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

This move was the top-tier ”Ten Thousand Swords Technique” among Second Order Techniques.

Its power rivaled that of typical Third Order Techniques.

However, the cost was that the spell seal gestures were overly complex, demanding immense amounts of Qi Power and Divine Consciousness.

Yet Luo Chen executed it without forming any seals, not even taking steps to mobilize Qi Power, releasing it directly.

If used in actual combat, it would certainly be a great surprise for his opponent.

This exemplifies the wonders of the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal!

At this moment, the five Chapters on his Golden Core recorded not just one technique, but over a hundred densely packed Dharma Seals.

In other words, if he wished, he could execute hundreds of techniques in an extreme amount of time.

This is even more terrifying than talismanic cultivators who excel in using talismans in battle.

Throughout history, perhaps only Luo Chen could achieve such a level!

Moreover, Luo Chen’s gains weren’t limited to this.

In ten years, inscribing a multitude of techniques onto the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal honed his utilization of Divine Perception to an extremely precise level.

Coupled with the subtle transformation in his mental state, now his control over Divine Perception has reached an all-time pinnacle.

Even with his power retracted, the intense Divine Soul Fluctuation could be as calm as a still lake, his powerful Divine Perception capable of hiding in plain sight.

In Luo Chen’s view, even some Void Refining True Monarchs might not see through his current disguise.

This is indeed advantageous news.

As his realm grows, Luo Chen will inevitably engage with Su Ling Sect’s high ranks, perhaps even catching the eye of Taisu Spirit Monarch.

In case his depth is discovered by the latter, although Luo Chen’s power isn’t intimidated by Void Refining True Monarchs, it might instigate certain troubles.

For now, however, this makes things much easier.

”It’s time to come out of seclusion.”

Luo Chen said to himself, casually dissolving the prohibition of the cave mansion.

In an instant, several streaks of light flew in.

They were Sound Transmission Talismans.

Luo Chen wasn’t surprised; he hadn’t employed any powerful concealment techniques during his breakthrough, naturally, some would take notice.

Considering his current status and position within Su Ling Sect, it’s inevitable some would be concerned.

”Oh!”

Sweeping his Divine Perception, Luo Chen let out a slight exclamation.

”It’s not just fellow disciples from Jade Spring Peak, but also He Jun from the Alchemy Institute, even Sound Transmission Talismans from Dan Emperor Mountain, and a large number from unknown Su Ling Sect fellow disciples.”

Luo Chen went through a few transmissions, most of which were congratulatory.

Some from unfamiliar cultivators, besides greetings, also introduced themselves, hoping to acquaint themselves with Luo Chen.

None of these people were obscure, most were prominent figures among the young generation across various peaks and branches.

After reading, Luo Chen couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.

It seemed that even with adequate groundwork, achieving core formation at such an age still attracted considerable attention.

Though it was all within expectation.

When he returned to Jade Spring Peak, he’d just have to host a few tables, inviting people inside and out to get acquainted, and go through the formalities.

However, the Sound Transmission from Dan Emperor Mountain did surprise Luo Chen somewhat.

”There’s an assignment for me after coming out of seclusion?”

Luo Chen rubbed his chin, his eyes gleaming.

”To conduct Pill Refinement?”

With closed doors pondering unable to yield answers, Luo Chen simply stopped overthinking.

Smoothing the creases in his green robe, Luo Chen gracefully left seclusion, heading straight to Dan Emperor Mountain.

...

He was greeted by a Nascent Soul Stage Four Pattern Alchemist, surnamed Ning, sharing the same surname as Ning Fu whom Luo Chen met at Miao Dan Peak.

In fact, the two of them hail from the same clan, sharing significant family ties.

This led Luo Chen to realize that even internally within Su Ling Sect, a formidable clan-based influence exists.

He Jun and Dean He, Ning Fu and this Ning surname Nascent Soul True Master, and more.

Due to Luo Chen’s connection with Ning Fu, this individual had a gentle demeanor towards Luo Chen, first commending his stable Golden Core Second Layer Realm, before mentioning that the Real Masters on the mountain were mostly busy and unable to spare time, hence specially assigning a task to Luo Chen.

”Supervise?” Luo Chen was quite surprised, not expecting such a task.

”Yes, you must have seen it on your way here, that palace being constructed on the mountaintop. Its name is Mountain and Sea, already in its final construction phase, so supervision isn’t much needed, your duty is to inspect it. However, you must be familiar with various arrangements within so well that if anyone asks, you can provide answers.”

”Mountain and Sea Palace?” Luo Chen’s eyelid twitched upon hearing this.

The Ning surname True Master nodded with a smile, ”This palace is specially built to host a Void Refining True Monarch from a place called a Small World of Mountain and Sea. To ensure she experiences hospitality, we from Su Ling Sect temporarily created this palace based on various records documenting the customs and traditions of the Mountain Sea Realm. When the esteemed guest settles in, you’re in charge of daily receptions, be sure not to slack off.”

To ensure Luo Chen wouldn’t take it lightly, the Ning surname True Master adopted a more serious demeanor, stressing the importance.

”This person holds remarkable Alchemy Dao Accomplishment, even the Tianyuan Daoist Sect holds her in high regard. This time, it was the Sect Master and Elder Ancient Wood’s earnest invitation that brought her here, which bears great significance for our Su Ling Sect’s Alchemy Institute; do not mess it up.”

Across from him, Luo Chen wore a calm expression, though his mind was in turmoil.

Mountain Sea Realm, remarkable Alchemy Dao Accomplishment, Void Refining True Monarch, Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

All these pieces of information combined brought a name to Luo Chen’s mind.

Unable to resist, Luo Chen asked, ”What is this person’s name?”

The Ning surname True Master slowly replied:

”Her surname is Chu, given name Yan, known as Alchemy Saint!”
