Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Several days later.

A grand and imposing Flying Boat returned to the Su Ling Sect.

It did not draw much attention from the masses, yet among the Sect High Level it stirred up quite a ripple.

At that time, the Eight Great Divinity Transformation Elders had all gathered, and even Sect Master Taisu Spirit Monarch personally appeared.

There were only four Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators present.

Yaoxi, You Huang.

Xuan Luo, Jiang Huang.

First they gave a report on the matters concerning the Gray Triangle Ink Jade Space.

The Sect High Level were quite concerned about this affair.

After a round of discussion, they decided that that space had to be properly utilized.

After all, in a place where Demonic Qi was so dense, one could cultivate many Spirit Plants and ores that did not exist in the Mystic Realm, and could also conduct all kinds of experiments.

For this matter, a Divinity Transformation Elder would even be personally dispatched to station there for a period of time and make proper arrangements.

Then came the matter involving the two juniors, Luo Chen and Jiang Huang.

Demon Moss clinging to the body, devouring spirit to transform into Qi Power—this state, in the Xuan Demon War ten thousand years ago, was called ”Demon Contamination.”

Handling it was rather troublesome.

According to historical records, at first the powerhouses of the Mystic Realm did not pay much heed to those with Demon Contamination, mostly letting them be.

But later it was discovered that those contaminated were easily controlled by powerful members of the Demon Race, and so they were forced to begin dealing with it.

As for ”dealing with it,” naturally, it was bloody.

Either slaughter, or Demon Suppression!

However, when it involved those of exalted status and illustrious identity, it was no longer suitable to use such crude methods.

Thus, some effective Doctrines were gradually researched.

Over ten thousand years passed, the Demon Race had long since been driven back, and those Doctrines once treasured by the top powers began to leak out.

At the very least, the Su Ling Sect possessed two concrete Doctrines for resolving Demon Contamination.

One was to invite a powerful Demon Race expert to forcibly devour the Demonic Qi on the contaminated person, then use the method of cutting flesh to remove the Demon Moss.

The other was to use the method of ”using one thing to restrain another,” controlling the Demon Moss and reversely converting Qi Power.

Both sets of Doctrines had their own advantages and drawbacks.

The price of the first was very high. To begin with, inviting a powerful Demon Race expert itself required huge resources, and even if successful, the damage to the contaminated person would be great.

Especially in the cases of Xuan Luo and Jiang Huang.

Their situation was not ordinary Demon Contamination; not only was their body clung to by Demon Moss, they had once undergone Demonic Qi poured into their crowns.

Once the first Doctrine was used, their Realm would inevitably regress and plummet, and might even affect their foundation and talent!

As for the second Doctrine, its conditions were also extremely harsh.

Things capable of restraining Demon Moss numbered only a few, and most of them were in the Demon Realm.

Among what could be found in the Mystic Realm, there was only the Demon Marrow Drill.

And this thing would only be produced in small quantities when the Demon Cave stirred.

In other words, to use Demon Marrow Drill to control Demon Moss, one must go to the Demon Cave. And to enter the Demon Cave, one had to participate in the Demon Suppression Trial.

Furthermore, it could not be a brief visit in and out; only by relying on the corresponding Demonic Qi environment could one achieve perfection.

Harsh conditions were one thing; this Doctrine also had its limitations, leaving behind sequelae.

Control, after all, was not complete eradication!

For the rest of their cultivation lifetime, the contaminated ones would inevitably bear the imprint of the Demon Race.

When facing certain Righteous Path powerhouses whose Cultivation Technique restrained the Demon Race, or top powerhouses among the Demon Race, they would surely suffer a grave disadvantage!

Thus, when discussing matters concerning Xuan Luo and Jiang Huang, the debate was once quite tangled.

Led by Elder Tian Ge, one faction of the Sect High Level proposed inviting a Demon Race powerhouse and implementing the first Doctrine.

In this regard, the Su Ling Sect did in fact have some connections.

Because the Su Ling Sect had close relations with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, and within the Tianyuan Daoist Sect there were quite a few Demon Race bloodlines.

Among those Demon Race bloodlines, there was at present a Void Refining Stage expert skilled in the Alchemy Array Method, who had a good relationship with Alchemy Saint Chu Yan.

They could have the Sect Master step forth and entrust Chu Yan to help make arrangements.

Another faction of the Sect High Level, led by Elder Ancient Wood, proposed allowing Xuan Luo and Jiang Huang to participate in the Demon Suppression Trial, seeking Demon Marrow Drill to control the Nine Nether Demon Moss.

Elder Ancient Wood’s thinking was very simple.

With the first Doctrine, Realm regression was secondary; what was truly unsightly was damaging their foundation and talent!

In his eyes, Xuan Luo was a never-before-seen genius of the Dao of Alchemy in the Su Ling Sect.

For the next several hundred years, even up to a thousand, he would lead the alchemy lineage of the Su Ling Sect, influencing the future progression of the entire Sect.

If his upper limit were impaired because of this, that would be most unsightly.

As for the sequelae of the second Doctrine, in his opinion, they were nothing.

What of having a bit of Demonic Qi on him?

What of being restrained by those of the Righteous Path, or even top experts of the Demon Race?

In such a vast Su Ling Sect, would they really send Xuan Luo out to fight?

The two sides argued without cease, with the focus of their discussion mostly on Xuan Luo.

As for Jiang Huang?

In truth, few cared about her future. This woman had already been declared missing two hundred years ago; for her to return alive now was fortune enough.

No matter which method they used, as long as she could regain her sanity, it would be good enough.

Seeing that no conclusion could be reached for the time being, Sect Master Taisu Spirit Monarch, quite vexed, waved his hand and had the two juniors leave first.

The others also agreed.

After all, having just gone through a brush with death, it would be best for the two to return early and rest.

Yaoxi True Master was kept behind.

After Luo Chen and the other left, Taisu Spirit Monarch interrupted the others’ discussion, his gaze falling upon her.

”Yaoxi, these two are both your disciples. What do you think?”

Under everyone’s gaze, Yaoxi True Master clenched her lips tightly.

...

Leaving the Sue King Hall were not only the two, Luo Chen and the other, but also Master You Huang.

He steered the Flying Boat, sending the two back to Jade Spring Peak.

On the way, Master You Huang looked at the pair with a gentle, even somewhat kindly expression.

”Xuan Luo, you heard everything just now as well. What thoughts do you have?”
