Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1439: Chapter 537 True Flame Pill Finalization, Mo Luo Sect Stronger Appears

Han Zhan was forced to awake from his rest not only because his Yin Pole Puppet could no longer sustain itself.

Another significant reason lay in Luo Chen’s increasingly deeper refining of the Primordial Chaos Tripod over the years.

From the initial impurity removal to gradually mastering the array on it and even delving deeply into the magic item.

As a result, the spatial constraint set up by Qing Shuang was affected.

Repeated fluctuations deprived Han Zhan of a peaceful environment for recuperation.

For him, it was a bad thing.

For Luo Chen, however, it was undoubtedly a good thing.

This indicated that Luo Chen was not far from perfectly mastering the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Luo Chen also took the opportunity to inquire about any contingencies Tian Yezi might have left on the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

To this, Han Zhan gave an answer that somewhat surprised Luo Chen.

”It’s just a temporary measure, no need to worry too much.”

During his astonishment, Luo Chen carefully recalled and gradually realized.

Tian Yezi’s artifact refining techniques were indeed exquisite.

But Qing Shuang and Youquan were not fools either.

If there were overly obvious countermeasures left on the Primordial Chaos Tripod, they would definitely see through them.

Only those less noticeable and weaker temporary measures might have a slight chance of deceiving them.

This could also explain why Tian Yezi, having snatched the Primordial Chaos Tripod in the dungeon of Transmitting Truth Hall in Cangwu Mountain, was unable to freely control it during the battle with the Thunder Prison Divine Roc.

He had only left measures in a few crucial places.

And these measures, along with the fall of Tian Yezi, dissipated directly.

”No wonder my refining has become increasingly smooth over the years!”

After this realization, Luo Chen couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

It seemed he had become overly cautious due to past scares!

In his leisure, he also inquired Han Zhan about some past events in Cangwu Mountain, such as how he and Tian Yezi conspired to break the dungeon’s prohibition.

Han Zhan was open about everything and shared the details.

”These demon cultivators know the forms but not the essence. Even though the Demon Emperor Qing Luan, relying on their racial gift, touched upon the power of Spatial Law during the Nascent Soul Stage, their application on inanimate imprisonments was too crude.”

”Tian Yezi was famously a grandmaster of arrays, and apart from Puppet Arts, I also studied arrays, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to control the Taiji Five Elements Sword Array.”

”Relying on the methods of spatial prohibition in the array fundamentals, after multiple tests and studies, we slowly found the flaws...”

”If we really get into it, the eventual beneficiary is you!”

How did Luo Chen benefit?

It was naturally his natal magic treasure Primordial Chaos Tripod!

After Tian Yezi and Han Zhan achieved minor success in their research on spatial prohibition, to prove their thoughts, they invited Qing Shuang to personally upgrade Luo Chen’s lifebound magic treasure.

After the verification, Luo Chen’s magic treasure gained the ability to cross spaces, capture, and suppress.

It even autonomously generated a mustard seed space inside, capable of storing living beings, not inferior to those finely crafted Spirit Beast Bags.

Regarding this, Han Zhan was quite envious.

He outright said that if Luo Chen devoted himself to nurturing and refining, this Primordial Chaos Tripod would inevitably be promoted to a True Device eventually.

Talking about True Devices, Luo Chen also asked a few more questions on how these weapons differed from magic items.

Han Zhan’s answer was that a True Device is a True Master’s tool, unifying with the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator’s mind and spirit; during domain deployment, it greatly amplifies the effects.

The so-called Nascent Soul Domain is about absorbing and controlling the attribute Spiritual Energy corresponding to the cultivator from heaven and earth.

But a cultivator’s power is limited, and they can’t control much; with a True Device, they can enhance this effect.

Han Zhan having formed his Nascent Soul for a hundred years, also didn’t possess a True Device.

Luo Chen found it strange, weren’t there rumors about several True Devices in Bai Ye Cave Mansion at Accumulation Thunder Mountain?

”That’s all relics of the great powers of the Dark Abyss Sect, not something we can meddle with. Once the powerful ones from the Dark Abyss Sect arrived, they took them all back. Otherwise, if I had had a True Device when fighting with the Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao, how could I have been so passive.”

Through this incident, Luo Chen also came to understand a common knowledge.

That is, although it is difficult for the Demon Clan to transform, once they do, they can easily use some parts of their bodies or accompanying objects to refine their own lifebound True Devices.

This is also why, under the same realm, Low-Order Demon Beasts are no match for Human Cultivators, but after reaching higher realms, there is little difference between the two. In fact, due to some special racial talents, High-Order Demon Beasts could even overpower Human Cultivators.

Just as Ao Xiao did with Han Zhan, or as Qing Shuang alone suppressed three Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Days passed slowly in this water-like rhythm of life.

Luo Chen was not in a hurry to ask for what he wanted from Han Zhan.

Firstly, his current focus was on refining large quantities of True Flame Pills.

Secondly, Han Zhan was also eager to research the Soul-Refining Flag and his co-existence, wanting a safe resting place.

However, since Luo Chen didn’t actively ask, the well-connected Han Zhan naturally wasn’t miserly.

During one of Luo Chen’s feasts on blood meals, Han Zhan took the initiative to hand over the long-desired Black Emperor Ointment Prescription.

In his words, this was the first step in their sincere cooperation.

Luo Chen gave him the Soul-Refining Flag, and he returned the favor with the Black Emperor Ointment Prescription.

With a good start, they might get along better for the next few centuries.

One day.

In the Pill Room.

Luo Chen, with a focused expression, stared at the grey, mist-shrouded great cauldron, the blue flames continuously roasting it.

Under his control, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron flowed incessantly like lava.

This was already the fifth year since he had arrived at the North Sea!
