Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Speaking of the past, Wang Yuan’s tone is filled with nostalgia.

“Within the devil’s cave, after I killed him, I inherited his legacy, which included this Ming God’s Divine Cleanse technique.”

“At that time, I came to understand why a former senior, held in high regard, would become a demonic menace troubling the martial arts world in just a few short years.”

“He discovered an Evil Qi Land and harnessed two Jiazi’s worth of martial arts knowledge to create this martial technique called the Ming God’s Divine Cleanse. He used the Evil Qi to refine his body, then the spirit, forcibly changing the path of martial arts to the path of immortality.”

“However, it was precisely because he let Evil Qi enter his body, coupled with the physical decline of old age, that he lost his mind over years and fell into the path of the demon.”

“The reason why I was able to embark on the path of cultivation is largely due to the benefits I received from that senior.”

From these past events, Luo Chen could easily imagine how Wang Yuan must have reveled in the martial arts world.”

He learned martial arts, reaching the Innate stage.

Entered the devil’s cave, and killed the devil himself.

And that slain devil might also have had a remarkably glorious past.

Two Jiazi of martial arts knowledge, that is 120 years.

If you include the non-martial arts adolescence, the devil might have been 130 or 140 years old.”

This age has almost surpassed the vast majority of Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators.”

Shaking his head, Luo Chen picked up his wine cup and took a sip.

Just as he was going to help himself to a bite, he noticed all the meat on the table was gone!

Gone!

No wonder Wang Yuan stopped speaking and turned to him, having finished all the meat while talking.”

However, his actions were always so slow and steady!”

Luo Chen rolled his eyes and ordered several more dishes of meat.

He had just received a dividend and was quite wealthy.

This restaurant was newly opened in The Great River District, offering special discounts. Today was going to be a feast!

As they waited for the dishes to be served, Luo Chen handed over a jade bottle.

“This jade marrow pill was recently refined. Even among the Medium Grade Pills, it is one of the finest.”

“Brother Wang, you can try it out.”

Wang Yuan smiled, about to assert that he did not really need this elixir and that Luo Chen’s conscience was enough.

But his expression changed, and he silently took the jade bottle.

Afterwards, the two enjoyed their meat and drinks, conversing happily until the evening when they parted ways.

“Blood Ignition Pill, a First Order Pill derived from Blood Evil Qi Pill?”

“Do you want me to have someone test its effects?”

In the secret chamber, Wang Yuan looked at the two scarlet pills, a look of emotion on his face.

He thought that after such a long time with no news from Luo Chen, Luo had given up on the Second Order Pill Formula.

He did not expect that Luo Chen was still considering it.

While he did not succeed in refining the Blood Evil Qi Pill, he put in great effort to extrapolate a First Order Pill of the same origin.”

“Trial?”

Wang Yuan smirked slightly and exited his secret chamber.

He went to the Jiao Hall and summoned his subordinates.”

“Today’s gang meeting, Gang Leader Mi decided to establish a base in Taishan District.”

“I don’t want to drag it out. Tomorrow morning, follow me to Taishan District and ask the Cheng Family if they’re willing to give up their land.”

“If not, conflict is inevitable. Are you all ready?”

“Ming God’s Divine Cleanse!”

“Self-awareness, unity of will.”

“Rather than saying it’s a method of using Evil Qi to temper the body, it would be more accurate to say it’s a secret technique that tempers the will.”

After careful consideration a dozen times, Luo Chen came to this conclusion.

As for what ‘will’ is, Luo Chen understood it as the fusion of the divine soul and consciousness.

And the Divine Soul, almost all cultivators will touch upon it.

Because the Divine Soul gives birth to Spirit Consciousness, it’s the fundamental basis of cultivators apart from Qi Refinement.”

As for the will, it’s even easier to understand as it is something that almost all beings possess.”

Those with a weak will, a simple glance from others can cause them to tremble in fear.”

Those with a strong will can withstand the most painful of tortures without changing their expressions.”

What it represents is a great endurance towards pain, sadness, despair, and various negative emotions.”

Luo Chen dared not let the Evil Qi enter his body to refine it, as his body was far from being adequate in Wang Yuan’s view.”

And to temper the body could not be achieved overnight.”

Therefore, Luo Chen decided first to cultivate the Ming God’s Divine Cleanse.

Nothing else mattered, his will had to be strengthened.”

How can one’s will be enhanced?”

It is very simple as the Ming God’s Divine Cleanse explains, you have to fight against negative emotions!”

Does Luo Chen have negative emotions?”

He might have a little, but definitely not much.”

After all, he cultivates and refines elixirs every day, he does not face any life-or-death crisis, nor does he have to hide himself. He could be considered living the contented life of a cultivator.”

But if there isn’t one, he can create it!”

The simplest negative emotion is pain.”

Following the method spelled out in Ming God’s Divine Cleanse, Luo Chen gathered a small cluster of Spirit Power and directed it toward an acupoint on his foot.”

The Yinling Spring Acupoint is a meridian point on the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian.

This acupoint is a merging point of the entire meridian, where the Qi and blood of the spleen meridian gather. If the Qi and blood are blocked at this point.”

A mere touch could cause severe pain.”

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen placed the Spirit Power cluster on top of it.”

“Heh, it’s nothing!”

“It appears I, Luo Chen, also belong to those with a strong will!”

Early the next morning, Gu Caiyi woke up early.”

After cleaning herself, she left the courtyard, calling Luo Chen to join her for breakfast.”

The two walked on the misty street discussing the various decisions from their gang’s meeting yesterday.”

Suddenly, Gu Caiyi looked over at Luo Chen, feeling something was amiss.”

“What’s wrong with you? Why are you limping as you walk?”

“Hiss, it’s nothing! Really, it’s nothing!”

Luo Chen said, maintaining his composure.”

However, seeing Luo Chen’s occasionally twitching forehead, Gu Caiyi still felt that something was off..
