Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

That person is...

Luo Chen looked at the woman in front of him filled with murderous intent, his eyes emitting strange light, like a vortex, pulling her mind inside.

”Senior Sister?”

In an instant, memories related to her Divine Soul flipped quickly in Luo Chen’s eyes like a book.

Unconscious, breakthrough to Nascent Soul, demonic qi infusion, captured after failure, fighting valiantly but unable to win, assigned to clean up sect’s affairs, displaying sword prowess within Su Ling Sect, apprenticed under Yaoxi at Jade Spring Peak.

Flipping backwards like flying.

The memory fragments settled on the deeply appreciative gaze of Yaoxi True Master.

At this point, Luo Chen finally confirmed that the controlled female cultivator was indeed the original owner of the Yu Jian Cave Mansion he currently resides in, none other than the Senior Sister of Jade Spring Peak, Jiang Huang!

He had previously heard that she went missing, even Yaoxi True Master had personally set out two hundred years ago but had found no trace.

Unexpectedly, she was trapped here.

Moreover, inadvertently achieved a breakthrough to Nascent Soul Stage with demonic qi infusion.

Luo Chen didn’t forcibly restore her consciousness, as it wouldn’t benefit his next actions.

Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to kill Jiang Huang either.

All things considered, he had freeloaded at Jade Spring Peak for quite some time, and during Core Formation, Wan Jiu Zhang had arranged the best Cave Mansion and travel accommodations for him; rescuing their Senior Sister could serve as repayment.

But for now, it’s best to remain obedient!

Luo Chen gently pointed at the area between her eyebrows.

The eyes brimming with murderous intent suddenly froze and closed in confusion.

This all seemed to take a long time.

But Luo Chen captured one and searched souls reading memories, all actually occurred in an instant.

From afar, the owner of Moyu Space in the high tower only felt the connection cut off as soon as he sent two major demon generals under his command.

To achieve this, he definitely wasn’t just a Golden Core Cultivator.

Of course, when Luo Chen revealed his breath without making a sound and exterminated over a hundred Golden Core Demon Servants, he didn’t consider the opponent a Golden Core Cultivator either.

Yet, he didn’t expect the two carefully nurtured Nascent Soul Demon Generals to be so vulnerable.

”Divine Transformation?”

In his shock, the high tower shook violently.

He looked up abruptly, only to see a giant hand reaching across the void.

Unwilling to sit idly awaiting death, he erupted with his strongest moves, aiming to shatter this giant hand.

Countless Nine Nether Demon Moss soared from the ground, enveloping the giant hand.

However, such an attack was like a mud ox into the sea, without a response.

The blood-red giant hand gripped with a thunderous roar.

Bang!

Luo Chen slowly withdrew the giant hand without caring about the dark green moss on the back, focusing on the utterly despairing creature within.

Bulbous form, covered in fluffy white hair.

Unusually large lips, spewing bubble demonic qi.

The dark green eyes rolled around; even in despair, still adorably amusing.

Gone was the previous malice and harshness from voice transmissions.

”Demon Race?”

With such appearance, Luo Chen seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

Memory flooded through, and Luo Chen finally found the origin.

Mountain Sea Realm, Land of Fallen Demons, within the Alchemy Realm.

There was an assessment of alchemy, containing numerous books, not lacking in records of Demon Realm species.

Among them, a unique Demon Race was recorded, named Poluo.

This race, besides being skilled in Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing, is not particularly strong; rather due to its cute appearance, often taken as demon pets by powerful demon races.

Unexpectedly encountered today, and remarkably reaching the boundary to Divine Transformation but a step away at late-stage Nascent Soul Realm.

”Are you from the Poluo Clan?”

The person was startled, then nodded continuously.

”Lord, spare my life!”

Luo Chen sneered, ”Spare your life, who will spare the lives of those human cultivators enslaved by others?”

This Poluo demon couldn’t refute but immediately said, ”Mao Qiu is willing to acknowledge the lordship!”

This time even Luo Chen couldn’t hold back.

Such swift betrayal, this level of servility, was unprecedented in his life.

Perhaps it’s the inherent servility within the Poluo lineage, nurtured over countless years of being kept as demon pets?

Luo Chen didn’t give a direct answer, but instead asked, ”Is your name Mao Qiu?”

Mao Qiu blinked his big emerald green eyes, ”Yes, this name was given to me by a human cultivator. She decided to make me her spiritual pet, but I secretly ran away. I discovered this small space and meticulously cultivated the Demon Moss here, turning it into a cultivation cave mansion.”

”Human cultivator?” Luo Chen frowned.

Mao Qiu nodded vigorously, ”Yes, as long as you, my lord, are willing to spare my life, I will tell you everything without holding back.”

Luo Chen rubbed his chin and then chuckled softly.

”That’s too much trouble.”

”Eh?”

As Mao Qiu was momentarily stunned, his eyes had already subconsciously locked onto Luo Chen’s.

”Soul Search...”

Just as this thought popped into his mind, he was plunged into chaos.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen quickly browsed through the other’s life experiences.

With his powerful divine soul cultivation, conducting a soul search on creatures below the Divine Transformation level, as long as it wasn’t overly intense or too deep, would not harm the other’s original source.

Previously, the soul search conducted on Jiang Huang was an example.

Using the same technique again proved effective.

A small Poluo from a young age followed various bizarre demon race elders, witnessing only sad faces.

Until one day, a young human female cultivator took an interest in him, wanting to make him her spiritual pet and gave him a name.

He seized the opportunity to escape, discovered a spirit land, planted Demon Moss, and like others catching human clans as spiritual pets, captured humans to make them demon servants.

When encountering those with outstanding talent, he would use the Demonic Qi toppling method to help them become demon generals. This attempt was made multiple times, with only two successes.

And the memory of the soul search ended here, his life story was surprisingly simple.

Or perhaps not that simple.

Luo Chen frowned, discovering that this little creature’s Sea of Consciousness structure was completely different from ordinary beings.

Inside, just like the furry white hair on its body, layers upon layers, memories hidden within.

As the divine perception swept through like a comb, there were always overlooked places.

”The Poluo clan, skilled in Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing, not acquired through postnatal cultivation, but innately gifted, perhaps related to this unique Sea of Consciousness structure.”

Unless the other actively opens up, truly exploring deep-level memories requires completely destroying the other’s Sea of Consciousness and divine soul.

Luo Chen hesitated a bit.

Especially after seeing in the memory that human cultivators occasionally appeared around Mao Qiu in its infancy, he realized the other’s identity.

Not originating from the Demon Realm as a pure demon race, but a demon race remnant in the Mystic Realm!

He contemplated for a moment, and awakened the other’s consciousness.

Mao Qiu awoke again in a daze.

Luo Chen’s voice came to his ears.

”You are a demon race remnant?”

Mao Qiu understood he was soul-searched just now, but relying on what demon race elders said about their clan’s peculiarities, he believed he wasn’t completely soul-searched, hence still held some utilization value.

His eyes rolled, just about to speak when he saw Luo Chen’s face darken.

”Although I can’t see the full picture, I know some clues. If anything you say next doesn’t match, you’ll face a fate of having your bones crushed to ashes and soul pulverized.”

”I’m a talented member of the Poluo clan and don’t want to die.” Mao Qiu shuddered and quickly said firmly, ”The master guessed correctly, Mao Qiu is indeed a demon race remnant.”

Whoa!

Just now it was ’lord’, now directly calling ’master’.

Really afraid of death!

Luo Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth, ”Where are you from?”

Although demon race remnants are special, there are quite a few in the Mystic Realm.

There are three known branches on the Youxuan Continent.

Located respectively in Youdu Source Court, Sky Phoenix Clan, and the area between the Nine Great Saint Sects’ Tianyuan Daoist Sect and Immortal Pill Tomb.

Especially the last branch bears the task of observing the movements of the Demon Cave.

It’s called the Hidden Earth Lineage.

Mao Qiu answered, ”I come from the Hidden Earth Lineage.”

This makes sense, not too far away. Given Mao Qiu’s realm when he initially fled, it’s the most reasonable and matches.

But Mao Qiu’s next words made Luo Chen stunned.

”Our Hidden Earth Lineage originated from a small clan brought into the Mystic Realm by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch during the Xuan Demon War ten thousand years ago. Two thousand years ago, the Demon Monarch disappeared, the clan’s morale scattered, and they were heavily oppressed by human cultivators. Later, the clan’s strong members were mostly captured by Immortal Pill Tomb and Tianyuan Daoist Sect. Mao Qiu was born late when the clan elders could no longer attend to him, which is how he escaped.”

Refining Heaven Demon Monarch!

Luo Chen took a deep breath and showed a complex expression on his face.
