Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

For a moment.

Luo Chen cautiously asked, ”Sect Master, is there anything else you would like to instruct me on next? If not, I shall return to my cultivation.”

”Oh, you may go back!” Taisu Spirit Monarch, as if awakening from a dream, replied absent-mindedly.

Just as Luo Chen was about to leave, she suddenly called out to him again.

”Wait.”

Luo Chen turned around, looking at her with confusion.

Taisu Spirit Monarch furrowed her brows, then waved her hand, ”Never mind, go back, but don’t forget the encouragement that the Alchemy Saint just expressed for you.”

”I remember, Sect Master.”

Luo Chen bowed, then retraced his steps back.

Behind him, Taisu Spirit Monarch continued to stare intently at his departing figure.

Although Chu Yan’s words were words of encouragement from senior to junior, the expectations seemed too lofty.

After all, Xuan Luo was still just a Golden Core Cultivator, capable of refining elixirs only up to the Third Order.

How could she speak of wanting to discuss the Path of Pill Refinement with Xuan Luo in the future?

Is there something special about Xuan Luo that I have yet to discover?

Taisu Spirit Monarch was filled with doubt.

Perhaps only Luo Chen himself understood the true intention behind Chu Yan’s words at their farewell.

A Pill Refiner who could converse with the Alchemy Saint must not be just any ordinary Pill Refiner.

Even if one could refine Fifth-Order Divine Pills, they might still not catch her eye.

Only someone who comprehends the Dan Dao Law could sit and discuss these matters with her.

The other party, through Pill Technique’s Celestial Secret Refinement, knew that Luo Chen had acquired her legacy, yet hadn’t inherited her understanding of the Laws.

Though it wasn’t explicitly mentioned, there was a hint of regret.

Therefore, the hopeful words aimed for Luo Chen to one day comprehend the Dan Dao Law, at which time the two could sit and converse.

However, to Luo Chen, the Path of Pill Refinement and even the A Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation were ultimately just auxiliary arts for cultivation.

If he could comprehend them naturally, so be it.

If not, he wouldn’t waste much effort on this path.

Instead, he was quite interested in the conversation between Chu Yan and Taisu Spirit Monarch in the Cloud Chariot.

They mentioned a term again.

[Demon Cave]

This term has not been frequently encountered since Luo Chen entered the Mystic Realm.

However, when reviewing records of major events, it often appeared.

Whether it was the invasion of the Demon Realm into the Mystic Realm ten thousand years ago, or the creation of the Mountain Sea Realm by the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, both were related to the Demon Cave’s stirring.

And this time, the so-called Demon Suppression Trial is also related to the Demon Cave.

If given the chance, he would like to personally witness what a Demon Cave is, and what is meant by the stirring of a Demon Cave!

For this reason, Luo Chen returned to the Sect’s Book Collection Pavilion.

His goal was to search for books related to the Demon Cave.

...

Inside the Book Collection Pavilion.

Luo Chen separated his Divine Will and Divine Perception, and the mode of action driven by instinct finally became clear.

Earlier, to conceal himself from being discovered by Chu Yan and Taisu Spirit Monarch, he once fused his Divine Will and Divine Perception, entering an instinct-driven state.

In that state, even a Void Refining True Monarch would find it hard to see through his disguise.

But the drawback was evident; some actions were purely instinctual.

Thus, when Chu Yan probed him using the Celestial Secret Pill Technique, he accidentally exposed himself.

Luo Chen realized that such a state might not be suitable for everyday actions and was more suited for battle.

However, the specific research on this should be conducted later.

For now, he needed to separate his Divine Perception to conduct large-scale reading.

At this moment, his Divine Perception expanded, scanning the numerous texts below the Nine Layers.

Any book related to the Demon Cave was imprinted line by line into his Divine Soul.

[A Demon Cave, akin to a Spirit Cave, is a place where energy converges. However, one is formed by the rising of Pure Qi, while the other is formed by the descent of Turbid Qi.]

[Mystic Realm’s Demon Caves are not naturally occurring. They are formed by the top Mahayana of the Demon Realm pinpointing weak spots in space, connecting the two realms, making them extremely hard to eliminate.]

[When a Demon Cave stirs, it signifies the formation of a spatial passage. The more intense the stirring, the larger and more stable the spatial passage becomes, allowing more powerful experts from the other realm to traverse. The last Demon Cave stirring occurred two thousand years ago, while the most extensive recent one was over ten thousand years ago. During that event, a Mahayana from the Demon Race crossed realms, inciting the Xuan Demon War.]

[The difficulty in eliminating a Demon Cave through human power not only involves spatial laws but also the power of merging the two realms. The Demon Race has various methods to attempt to expand Demon Caves. For instance, they plant Demon Moss which absorbs Spirit Qi, converting it into an environment filled with Demonic Qi. This plant naturally contains an unconventional Law’s True Intent and is a product of the Wood Demon clan, which only Divine Transformation Cultivators can remove.]

[Locations of Mystic Realm Demon Caves are often monitored by remnants of the Demon Race, and once Demonic Qi grows strong, a Demon Suppression Trial must be conducted to shatter small Demon Caves.]

[The so-called remnants of the Demon Race are branches left in the Mystic Realm after various Xuan Demon Wars. After being subdued and assimilated, they were settled across the Mystic Realm, forming their own clan.]

[The Demon Suppression Trial is extremely dangerous, yet it brims with immense opportunities, allowing Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators to absorb Spirit Mechanism, understand Laws’ True Intent, and ascend to the Divinity Transformation Realm.]

[Spirit Mechanism...]

A few days later.

Luo Chen compiled all the information he had reviewed and finally gained an overall concept of the Demon Cave.

He also understood what the Demon Suppression Trial meant.

The major sects dispatch Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators into the Demon Cave to collaborate with Divine Transformation Great Powers to purge Demon Moss and shatter the Demon Cave.

In this process, not only must they prevent naturally forming Space Cracks but also handle possible powerful experts from the Demon Realm trying to cross over.
