Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1283: Chapter 488: Prohibition Fusion Technique, Enhancing Strength_3

Luo Chen had a Proficiency Panel at his disposal, allowing him to cast most techniques instantaneously or very swiftly.

But the issue of leaving too obvious traces was something he had not been able to resolve before.

Take the Innate Qi Great Handprint, for example—its might was extraordinary!

But after his Core Formation, the few times he used it against cultivators of the same Order, the effect could only be described as mediocre.

It was too conspicuous!

The enemy could prepare far too easily!

At the Golden Core Ceremony, it was broken by Hong Ling with a single sword strike.

At the battle on Hui Meng Ridge, the He Family Ancestor, with Divine Consciousness as his sensor, detected it early and evaded.

Even the Third Order Demon Wolf King was prepared, counterattacking and even managing to break Luo Chen’s technique.

Had it not been for his imbuing the Prosperity and Decline Fire into the technique, it would have been difficult to achieve such a thunderous victory.

”If I were to integrate Obscure Restriction into such techniques, not only would my casting be instant and swift, but I could also conceal any motion or sound. Thunder would rise silently, allowing me to control and defeat my enemy!”

This thought lingered in Luo Chen’s mind,

stirring him with anticipation recently.

The reason for this thought was actually inspired by Di Wuqi.

His trump card technique, named Green Pheonix Gentle Wind.

Not only was this technique exceptionally powerful, but it was also extremely secretive, so much so that even Golden Core Cultivators had difficulty detecting it.

It was indeed a requisite technique for stealthy attacks!

Luo Chen too wished to possess such a technique, to prepare for unexpected situations.

His three magic items, the Xuanhuo Sword and the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel, were both directly confrontational in their attacks.

The Soul Breaking Nail had a very unique effect, producing surprising results when used unexpectedly.

But, with its low Quality Rank, it was far too easily dispersed and struggled to achieve its full effect.

Therefore, Luo Chen set his sights on the techniques he was most skilled at.

The Innate Qi Great Handprint was just one example.

The technique he truly wished to put into action was another Third Order Technique—Mirror Flower, Water Moon!

This technique, with its accompanying Second Order Techniques already at the Perfection level, had been elevated to the Perfection Level.

It was barely enough to be wielded against enemies.

Moreover, this technique fell into a special category, that of illusionary techniques, targeting the Divine Soul and capable of confounding the five senses.

Even if breaking it resulted in a backlash, it wouldn’t harm the user as brutally and excessively as the Divine Intimidation Technique would.

If he could silently release this illusion technique, Luo Chen would truly have a place among his peers of the same Order.

”Let’s not rush. Perhaps I could discuss this with Min Longyu and the others, have these Array Masters help me refine this idea.”

Luo Chen, of course, had noticed the arrival of his Sect Disciples early on.

After finishing his work for the day, he descended and sought them out.

There was no need to get into their catching up.

Shortly after, Min Longyu became engrossed in the task of perfecting the Trapped Dragon Array.

Naturally, a Formation meant to serve as a foundation for eons couldn’t be completed overnight.

Even with a host of Array Masters buzzing with activity, and Di Wuqi, Cen Qiusheng and others helping to procure formation materials, they only managed to create a basic layout.

To truly achieve something significant in the future, there were still many steps to take.

Like moving mountains and filling seas—literally.

In the future, they would need to relocate some First and Second Order Spirit Vein mountains and rivers, construct them outside the main vein, dig canals, channel water, and establish Feng Shui patterns to ensure the smooth flow of earth’s energy, among other things.

Thus, one must eat their meals one bite at a time, and travel their road one step at a time.

Everyone was busy in a steadfast and orderly manner.

During the night,

within the Immortal Mansion of Luo Chen,

Fu Jiusheng and Min Longyu, having been invited, quietly listened to his proposal.

”To integrate Prohibition into the technique?”

”That seems rather fanciful, doesn’t it?”

”Why speak of fanciful whims? Friend Fu, haven’t you also mentioned that some with great abilities have integrated Space Prohibition into their Techniques and Divine Powers?”

”That’s precisely because they are mighty beings!”

”Uh...”

”From Long Yu’s perspective, integrating Obscure Restriction with techniques is indeed challenging. It can easily cause conflicts, either drastically reducing the power or causing the technique to go out of control and backfire. But!”

Under the watchful gaze of two Golden Core Ascendant Masters, Min Longyu licked his lips, his expression filled with excitement.

”If it’s just about constructing an ancillary array to conceal the mana fluctuations, making the signs of casting the technique less noticeable, it’s not really that difficult.”

Luo Chen’s eyes brightened, ”Have you figured out a way?”

”Not yet, but with a direction in mind, seeking solutions is akin to following a map to treasure, isn’t it?” Min Longyu smiled self-satisfiedly, ”Give me some time, and it shouldn’t be too difficult to accomplish.”

Fu Jiusheng shook his head and sighed, ”Indeed, Min Longyu’s talent in arrays surpasses mine. What I cannot accomplish through solitary Prohibition, he can circumvent by utilizing arrays.”

Min Longyu chuckled, ”The Elder flatters me.”

Straightaway, Luo Chen performed several of his signature techniques in front of Min Longyu for his acquaintance, and then waited for his results.

Before leaving, Min Longyu suddenly made a suggestion.

”Supreme Elder, if you wish to make advancements in the Path of Array, relying solely on studying Obscure Restriction won’t do. It’s like walking on one leg. In my humble opinion, you should also study several other basic types of Prohibitions.”

Luo Chen nodded; he took the advice to heart.

After Core Formation, although he had many matters to attend to, time became much more abundant.

In addition to his main pursuits of Cultivation and Pill Refinement, he had long considered learning another skill.

And naturally, his target was the array formation that he had long coveted.

Fortunately, within the Luo Tian Sect, there were two Array Masters.

Min Longyu had an exceptional talent for arrays and often had ideas that caught others by surprise.

Though Fu Jiusheng tended to follow the rules, his solid foundation and broad knowledge were his strengths.

With them as his mentors, Luo Chen believed that he could build a solid foundation in array formation, just as he had with Pill Refinement Technique!

Oh, the future held promise!
