Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

This also made Luo Chen vigilant, he had to do some covering up.

Being overly conspicuous, whether within the sect or later participating in the Demon Suppression Trial, would not be conducive to his secret actions.

...

Location of the Alchemy Institute.

Inside the Dan Court, Lü Su was handing over affairs to a newly arrived junior brother.

He planned to resign from this position.

After all, the rewards from these simple daily tasks were not substantial.

Previously, it barely satisfied him during the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but for future advancement to the Golden Core Period, more abundant resources were needed.

This requires him to work harder!

However, after serving in the Alchemy Institute for many years, there were benefits.

Now, he was instructing the newcomer as they exchanged responsibilities.

”Though the returns from this job are small, it allows connections with many Pill Refiners. Whether for future cultivation needs or network expansion, it’s greatly beneficial. So, you must not slack off.”

The disciple listened confused, half-believing.

Suddenly!

Outside the Dan Court, a figure strode briskly.

Lü Su quickly went over to greet the figure, engaging warmly in conversation.

The new disciple stayed behind, only seeing the two talking happily, with Lü Su occasionally pointing to the Dan Court and Dan Emperor Mountain, not knowing what was discussed.

At the end, the handsome and mysteriously charming young man patted Lü Su’s shoulder, handed over a Storage Bag, then rose into the air, disappearing above Dan Court.

Watching the direction of departure, the new disciple was slightly stunned.

”Is he a sect elder from Dan Emperor Mountain?”

Lü Su returned gleefully, laughed hearing this: ”You do have decent eyesight! However, this person is not an ordinary sect elder!”

The disciple looked puzzled.

Lü Su did not hold back, explaining the situation boastfully.

In fact, once the words ”Xuan Luo” were uttered, the new disciple was already shocked.

He never expected that Lü Su could associate with such a legendary figure.

Thus, the previous words from Lü Su were truly not perfunctory.

Handling the affairs at Dan Court properly could indeed be promising!

”Is the reason for your joy because Xuan Luozi rewarded you with something?”

Lü Su chuckled, ”It’s not a reward, but better than one. Just now, Xuan Luozi tasked me with something. If accomplished well, my resources for cultivating to the Golden Core Period will be ample.”

”What task, that the reward is so generous?”

”It’s a secret! Alright, I’ve explained enough, do your best in the future, I’m off!”

With these words, he departed amid the new disciple’s envious gaze.

...

At the Mountain and Sea Palace, a Glint gently descended.

Luo Chen released Divine Perception, inside the palace aside from the regularly stationed ordinary disciples, there were no Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators present.

The vast palace was exceptionally quiet.

Though this was normal for Dan Emperor Mountain, he was not surprised.

Upon being greeted by disciples, he calmly entered the palace.

On the way, he met a fellow disciple he knew from when he joined the Alchemy Institute, vaguely remembering his name.

Hearing that the other was now free, ingenuity struck him, assigning a task to the peer.

It wasn’t a particularly difficult task, just somewhat tedious.

The specific task involved gathering over a hundred types of herbs.

The range was extensive, involving various attributes and even included some mineral and Demon Beast materials.

To ordinary people, these herbs seemed disorganized, even experienced Pill Refiners likely couldn’t discern any clue.

But Luo Chen had significant intentions.

These were key materials for two types of elixirs!

One was the Soul Nurturing Pill, to heal Jiang Huang’s damaged Divine Soul.

Originally, the Soul Nurturing Pill was of Third Order, but after he improved and swapped main ingredients, it could reach Fourth Order Level, effective for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

The other was a Two Forms Pill that Luo Chen had succeeded in refining once.

This pill formula came from the Alchemy Saint Hall of the Dark Abyss Sect in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Its special efficacy greatly benefited a cultivator’s True Fire, enhancing its potency.

During Luo Chen’s Alchemy Saint inheritance test, he successfully created one, later consumed by a golden firebird leading to the emergence of Nirvana Sacred Fire.

Nirvana Sacred Fire...

Luo Chen’s lips twitched, he dismissed the thought of that detestable thing.

In conclusion!

He planned to refine more Two Forms Pill specifically for the Withering and Flourishing Spark.

If successful, perhaps it could allow the Withering and Flourishing Spark to truly revive.

Luo Chen had considered this earlier, but back then he had just joined the Su Ling Sect, holding little influence. Moreover, the Two Forms Pill required high-order herbs, too many kinds, unsuitable for direct refinement.

Now, however, it was perfect!

Letting Lü Su collect them, he allowed the use of Xuan Luozi’s name.

Even if questions arose within the sect, during the Demon Suppression Trial, likely no inquiries would be made.

In case, presenting the Soul Nurturing Pill could deflect attention.

Though all this was incidental.

His immediate priority was cultivation.

As Yaoxi True Master, his respected teacher said, having formed a nascent soul not long ago, his realm was unstable and techniques were few, needing good cultivation.

Yet, practically speaking, it wasn’t Yaoxi True Master’s concerns that mattered.

Luo Chen’s intended cultivation was a longtime concern.

After entering his side hall.

He was greeted by clean windows, no dust visible.

Clearly, disciples regularly maintained it.

Luo Chen first activated the side hall’s big formation, blocking inside and outside.

Thus, even if fellow disciples visited, he wouldn’t be disturbed.

Then he found a newly established herbal garden, planted the Eternal Grass and placed the Vacuum Divine Gu beside it.

Finally, directly went to the cultivation room.

Feeling the rich Spirit Qi, Luo Chen nodded satisfactorily.

”It barely suffices!”

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, a great Divine Perception entered the Xuanshu Purple Mansion.

In an instant, the five-colored nascent soul became incredibly agile.

Looking at its body, he saw talismanic patterns intertwined, seemingly forming a robe of the world’s principles.

This was Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal!

It started recording during Foundation Establishment Stage, was completed in the Golden Core Period, and genuinely attached to the nascent soul during the Nascent Soul Stage.

It can assist cultivation, and also be nurtured as a Natal Magic Item.

Luo Chen’s Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal differed from other cultivators practicing the Taiyi Geng Metal Transformation Mysterious Chapter. He possessed five seals, encompassing the Five Elements!

Under his control, those patterns slowly detached from the nascent soul’s surface, reassembling into five Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seals within the vast Xuanshu Purple Mansion.

The five Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seals floated in mid-air, surrounding the nascent body, resembling a Heavenly Book.

On them, thousands of Techniques were recorded, vast as the sea.

Just with these five seals, Luo Chen would be unbeatable at the Nascent Soul Stage.

With these in place, as long as his Qi Power and Divine Consciousness kept up, he could instantly use various high and low rank Techniques seamlessly.

But Luo Chen’s aspirations extended beyond this.

Recording Techniques was merely a preliminary experiment.

The true goal was to record Divine Power!

Any Great Divine Power, when displayed, is without exception, dramatic and complex.

If he could record Divine Power seeds on the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal, even if not instantaneous, saving casting time slightly would give him an innate advantage in battles during the Divine Transformation Stage and higher realms!

This concept was indeed striking.

The original creator of the Taiyi Geng Metal Transformation Mysterious Chapter probably didn’t dare hope for this.

Yet, through extensive recording of ordinary Techniques, Luo Chen gained insight.

Especially since he mastered both Talisman Dao and Path of Array; their combination made it feasible rather than wishful thinking.

Most importantly, Luo Chen himself controlled a significant number exceeding ordinary Divine Transformation Great Power’s Divine Powers.

The first comprehended was the self-created Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger.

Next, came Water Element Divine Ability Qi Sea Floating Sky from Zhou Yunshen’s late creation, and Thousand Rivers Guide left in the Three Halls of the Dark Abyss Sect.

Before ascension, during the Wilderness journey, witnessing a meteor fall, he self-created a Fire Element Divine Ability Star Fire Burning Realm.

These were Divine Powers he was well-acquainted with.

Not to mention others like Daluo Heavenly Sleeve, and Thousand Clouds Flowing Together.

Despite their abundance, Luo Chen faced a delightful dilemma.

Which Divine Power seed should be recorded first?
