Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Alchemy Institute, on Dan Emperor Mountain.

Ning Fu stood quietly outside the Mountain and Sea Palace.

After a long wait, she was finally allowed to enter.

Upon entering, she curiously surveyed her surroundings.

Is this the place where the Alchemy Saint once briefly lived in Su Ling Sect?

Though newly built, much effort was put into it.

Ancient yet grand, truly extraordinary!

It is said that after the Alchemy Saint left, the Mountain and Sea Palace wasn’t neglected, and its halls were distributed among the Four Pattern Alchemists.

In a way, this was both a reward and an encouragement.

What Pill Refiner wouldn’t want to one day reside in a place where the Alchemy Saint once lived and admire the traces and grace he left behind?

Under the guidance of disciples, Ning Fu quickly arrived at a side hall.

A middle-aged man was coming out from inside, and upon seeing Ning Fu, he couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

”Little Fu, congratulations on refining a Third Order Pill and officially becoming a Three-Stripe Alchemist.”

Ning Fu saluted respectfully, ”Thanks to Seventh Uncle’s guidance, I have achieved this success.”

Ning Li True Master waved his hand, ”No need to flatter me. Your achievement is all your own, especially your outstanding performance in the Zhou Liuxing Qi Pill refinement.”

At this point, he became solemn.

”Although there is no gender distinction in Pill Refinement, the number of female Pill Refiners in our Sect is actually not many. If you can achieve success, female cultivators will certainly be more inclined to seek you out for Pill Refinement. Since you plan to excel in this area, I will take extra care of you. In the future, when I preside over the refinement of Fourth Order Pills, you can help me and observe from the side. Perhaps one day, you can have a palace like Xuan Luozi in the Mountain and Sea Palace.”

Mentioning Xuan Luozi, Ning Fu clearly showed a curious expression.

”Seventh Uncle, where is he?”

Ning Li True Master looked at her slyly, ”You just arrived and are already inquiring about your fellow disciple Xuan Luozi, could it be...”

”Seventh Uncle!”

Ning Fu rarely acted spoiled, showing a coy expression.

Ning Li True Master laughed heartily and then explained, ”Xuan Luozi has an exceptionally high talent in the Dao of Alchemy and can steadily refine Third Order Pills. He recently had insights in cultivation and collected some pills, returning to Jade Spring Peak to enter Closed-Door Cultivation. He may well emerge at the Middle Stage Golden Core when he comes out.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Fu couldn’t help but feel stunned.

Once working alongside Xuan Luozi, researching the Zhou Liuxing Qi Pill day and night, those days are still vivid in her mind.

The other had entered Spirit Pill Peak before her.

She thought she could quickly catch up, yet unexpectedly, he soared to Dan Emperor Mountain.

Now he can already steadily refine Third Order Pills, and after several decades of accumulation, Fourth Order Pills might not be beyond reach.

The gap between herself and him has grown vast.

Perceiving the young woman’s distress, Ning Li True Master’s wise eyes had already discerned something.

He pondered for a moment and decided to remind this young niece.

”Xuan Luozi is different from other cultivators, even those considered geniuses. He excels not only in Pill Refinement but also has substantial talent in cultivation. Such a person will never be content with mediocrity. If you want to keep up with him, you must excel in at least one domain. If you try to balance everything, the gap between you will only widen...”

As he spoke, Ning Li True Master remembered the Alchemy Saint’s praise of Xuan Luo, and how Sect Master Taisu Spirit Monarch favored him.

His tone became somber, ”Perhaps you should dispel certain thoughts.”

Ning Fu opened her mouth, hesitant to speak.

She is also seen as a talent by her family and fellow disciples, yet being advised by her elder like this would unsettle anyone.

Moreover, the Ning Family holds significant influence within Su Ling Sect.

But recalling Xuan Luo’s achievements over the past few decades, her pride diminished by three parts, with an expression of melancholy on her face.

”Seventh Uncle, I understand.”

”Hmm, come with me, let me show you around the Mountain and Sea Palace, and then take a look at Dan Emperor Mountain.”

...

Luo Chen was unaware that his excellence had caused a young woman’s youthful admiration to remain unfulfilled.

His attention was entirely focused on his Golden Core within.

In the Sea of Qi, his Qi Power surged, radiating brilliance.

A five-colored Golden Core, like a star, slowly rotated within.

Five colors representing the Five Elements Power.

But unlike ordinary Five Attribute Golden Cores, Luo Chen’s core had five Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seals affixed to it.

Each seal was engraved with various Techniques.

From low to high, everything was included.

Even Fourth Order Techniques to be used against Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were abundant.

These five Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seals, after years of nurturing, their power was no less than those Lifebound Magic Artifacts nurtured for hundreds of years by Nascent Soul Old Monsters.

Moreover, their potential was extremely high, their power determined by the level of Techniques inscribed.

If someday, Divine Power seeds could be inscribed, then this Cultivation Technique would reach the Completion Stage.

At that point, even if not instantaneous Divine Powers, Luo Chen would still exhibit them much faster than normal Divine Transformation Great Powers.

Once in combat, not only will peers at the same Order struggle against him, but even Void Refining True Monarchs of higher realms may suffer misfortune inadvertently.

But those are matters for the future.

At present, Luo Chen remained focused on his Lifebound Golden Core.

He occasionally activated the Heavenly Star Yuan Magnet Divine Thunder within the Primordial Chaos Tripod, releasing arcs to purify and temper his five-colored Golden Core.

By using the Power of Thunder to purify and temper ahead of time, he would be completely unafraid of Thunder Tribulation during Nascent Soul Formation.

”As I expected, the Five Elements Divine Pill greatly aids my cultivation during the Golden Core Period.”
