Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen’s ”Soul Cleaving Technique” originated from Han Zhan, which is one of the Three Skills and Two Techniques of the Luo Yun Sect.

However, he obtained it from Han Zhan’s soul fragment memory, hence many parts were missing, such as how to cultivate the soul split, deepen the connection between the main soul and the split soul, but lacking in the most fundamental aspects of dividing the main soul and accelerating the growth of the split soul.

Because of this, Luo Chen later spent a lot of effort deriving the method of division and using elixirs to assist in the growth of the split soul.

But that was ultimately not the original content.

And on the Foundation Establishment Chapter, the most basic method of division is clearly written!

For the current Luo Chen, this doctrine is naturally useless but allows him to clearly deduce one thing.

The ”Soul Cleaving Technique” originates from the Mystic Realm, and it is more likely from the Great Soul Sect located near the Gray Triangle!

Because this bone fragment is actually being sold by a female cultivator from the Golden Bell Sect who has disguised her identity.

The Golden Bell Sect was once also part of the Great Soul Sect.

Pushing the deduction further, another speculation emerges.

There must be a complete ”Soul Cleaving Technique” within the Great Soul Sect, especially the true doctrine for accelerating the growth of the split soul!

This speculation is traceable.

Years ago, Luo Chen already believed that the ”Soul Cleaving Technique” was not originally created by the Luo Yun Sect, with evidence shown by its attribute panel displaying this cultivation technique as high as the Seventh Order.

The Seventh Order corresponds to the existence of the Body Integration Realm!

And according to rumors, the cultivator who founded the Luo Yun Sect obtained an ancient cultivator’s heritage from a cave mansion, which allowed him to cultivate successfully and establish his sect.

According to the Mystic Realm records, the Great Soul Sect participated in the opening of the Mountain Sea Realm.

That is to say, the ancient cultivator who left behind the cultivation technique may very well have been sent by the Great Soul Sect.

With this thought, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel eager.

The complete ”Soul Cleaving Technique” not only has the doctrine for expanding the split soul, but its order is as high as the Seventh Order, perhaps contributing to his future breakthrough in the Body Integration Realm.

”Should I secretly investigate the Great Soul Sect?”

Luo Chen couldn’t help but consider the feasibility of this plan.

The current Great Soul Sect has long been in decline, not only divided into three, but its inner sect possesses only two or three Divine Transformation realm cultivators.

With his strength, he should not be discovered.

And perhaps within the split sects Golden Bell Sect and Purple Flame Mountain, there might exist a complete ”Soul Cleaving Technique” as well.

While Luo Chen pondered, his peripheral vision suddenly paused.

A figure who had just exchanged resources was cautiously retreating from the underground cavern.

”What a coincidence!”

Luo Chen smiled subtly, calmly stood up, and also left the underground cavern where the trading fair was taking place.

...

Under the night sky, the moonlight was rich.

A figure emerged from the ground, looking cautiously behind him.

Seeing no one following, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of Rogue Cultivator trading fair without any guarantees was the riskiest, especially for those trading for good items.

Luckily, he was cautious enough, aside from a mistake the first time, the many times afterward had no issues, allowing him to consistently purchase desired resources.

Thinking of the herbs inside his storage bag, the figure in black inadvertently revealed a smile, even the mole at the corner of his mouth trembled.

”With these things, my odds of breaking through the Golden Core Period have increased... Who’s there?”

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

On the street ahead, a figure was quietly standing, seemingly waiting for someone.

He instinctively wanted to extract his magic tool, but after meeting those eyes, resembling a vortex, he was stunned.

Luo Chen smiled, Mirror Flower, Water Moon is indeed useful!

”Name?”

”Huang Wei.”

”Origin?”

”Abandoned disciple of Purple Flame Mountain, now a rogue cultivator.”

”Twenty-seven years ago, did you sell a Phoenix Eye Obsidian Moss?”

”Yes.”

”Where did you get it from?”

”One hundred and twenty miles west of Cuiyan Mountain, at the place where the Great River flows, below is an underground cavern. In it, there is an ancient Taoist temple, surrounded by Phoenix Eye Obsidian Moss...”

...

In a daze, Huang Wei seemed to have experienced a long period of time.

But when he opened his eyes, not a single change was evident in the shadow illuminated by the moonlight, indicating it was just a momentary event.

He looked around in terror but found nothing.

Suddenly, he felt a weight in his hand.

He looked down, discovering a jade vial.

Hesitantly opening the jade vial, Huang Wei was stunned.

”Nine Seas Qi Transformation Pill!”

Instantly, overwhelming joy spread across his face.

This is the famous Core Formation Spirit Pill on the Youxuan Continent, capable of forcibly merging the spiritual liquid in the Nine Layers of Qi Sea of a Foundation Establishment cultivator within a moment, aiding their impact on the Golden Core Period.

He received such a precious elixir for doing nothing?

No!

Perhaps it wasn’t for doing nothing.

Thinking of the earlier dazed situation, Huang Wei involuntarily swallowed.

That was clearly being intimidated against his divine soul, even drawn into an illusion realm, revealing his inner thoughts without reservation.

The existence able to do so to him, a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, must be of at least middle to late Golden Core Stage, or even Nascent Soul Stage.

But what exactly did he say?

Huang Wei dared not think further, tightly clutching the jade vial, quickly escaping.

...

West of Cuiyan Mountain, the Great River flows by, named Cui Shi River.

On the river bank, where rocks stand disorderly.

In the night, they resemble monsters, baring their fangs and claws.

A figure floated, quietly watching the river.

It was Luo Chen who had just obtained specific intelligence from the rogue cultivator Huang Wei.

The rogue cultivator was the very person who sold the Phoenix Eye Obsidian Moss years ago at the trading fair, and due to his extreme caution, the cultivators executing the task from the Su Ling Sect had never found him.

Luo Chen almost missed him without noticing.
