Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The Golden Core Ascendant Master from Ailao Mountain was absolutely livid, summoning all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the area for a meeting.

However, in the end, no findings were made.

It was rumored that the Golden Core Ascendant Master directly stormed into the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion, causing a tense situation with the two Yu Ding Sword Cultivators in the area.

The massive aura of the Golden Core almost encompassed the entire Inner City.

Nonetheless, these matters ultimately had nothing to do with Luo Chen.

The death of a nouveau riche and a construction contractor who also happened to be his son-in-law was nothing to do with him.

The only thing related to him was a single matter.

That was the opening of the Pill Hall.

For this reason, he spent practically the entire last three days at Crescent Valley.

He had no expectation from those brats.

But the Middle Stage Cultivators dispatched by the Broken Mountain Gang were highly valued by him.

For these three days, he did nothing but instructed these twenty people on how to control the fire!

Yes, it was about controlling the fire!

When to increase the heat, when to lower it.

When to draw and add firewood, and how much.

When the temperature is not enough, to what extent the Fireball Technique should be unleashed.

In short, Luo Chen imparted more than half of his lifetime learning about fire control.

Moreover, the medicinal materials he needed were all sent by Mi Shuhua\'s people, either through procurement or provided directly by the Medicine Hall after processing.

In summary, Luo Chen never needed to worry about obtaining medicinal materials anymore.

Time went swiftly, regardless of the storms in the outside world, the three days passed in the blink of an eye.

This day, in the Crescent Valley!

Out of the two hundred Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators from the Broken Mountain Gang, more than half arrived, barring a few who stayed behind.

Under the leadership of Gu Caiyi and Sikong Shoujia, hundreds of people entered Crescent Valley one after another.

Various familiar bustling ceremonies began one after another.

Soon, it was time for the main event!

Starting the alchemy stove!

"Is that young lad Luo Chen?"

"The Hall Master of the Pill Hall is so young!"

"From the looks of it, he\'s not more than thirty. His Realm is a bit low though, I wonder how good his alchemy skills are."

"If he wasn\'t good, Old Mi wouldn\'t have forcibly placed him on this position."

"I heard that we can all enjoy the benefits from the Pill Hall\'s income, is that true or false?"

"Heh, you believe that? The ones who will enjoy the major share are probably those Hall Masters and upper echelons at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement! We should just honestly earn our spirit stones by using our energy."

"Look at what you\'re saying, isn\'t your brother one of the ones transferred to the reserve team? Once the Pill Hall produces pills, they will be the ones selling them, right?"

"Can\'t say for sure, really can\'t say for sure!"

Amid the murmuring, Luo Chen made his grand entrance.

There was no self-introduction.

He didn\'t have the time to get to know so many people anyway.

Clad in a brand-new moon-white Medium Grade Robe, with long hair strewn over his back and only a wooden hairpin on his head.

Just by appearance alone, he truly had the charisma of a True Cultivator.

However, what he did next was not as carefree.

"Start the fire!"

"Begin Alchemy!"

The three Pill Rooms in a row blazed with roaring flames.

Amid the burning aroma of the Green Steel Wood, Luo Chen, with a solemn expression, walked within each Pill Room.

A portion of materials, passing through his hands and following specific proportions, were placed into the Pill Furnace.

Especially the large Pill Room in the middle, with a human-height large Pill Tripod inside. When placing the medicinal materials, aside from using the Attraction Technique, Luo Chen himself even had to perform the Wind Riding Technique to oversee from above.

Yet this was not a drawback.

On the contrary, the larger the Pill Tripod, the more medicinal materials it could contain.

While the two Purple Cloud Bronze Furnaces could only refine one portion of raw material at a time, this Pill Tripod could refine two portions simultaneously. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The cultivators outside watched as Luo Chen moved between the three Pill Rooms, commencing the alchemy work in an orderly fashion.

Occasionally instructing the cultivators by his side to adjust the fire, sometimes adding medicine, sometimes reciting the Dao Law Method, stirring and rolling the medicinal materials inside the furnace.

This calm demeanor elicited great admiration from them.

"This is my first time seeing an alchemist perform alchemy! It looks like this, tsk tsk, there\'s a certain charm to it!"

"Extremely proficient indeed, this young Luo, the Hall Master, seems as if he was refining pills from the time he was in his mother\'s womb!"

"He\'s refining three furnaces at once? He possesses such profound accomplishments?"

"Fellow cultivator, could you explain?"

"To be honest, I once heard people in Taishan District say that Kang Dongyue, the Pavilion Master of the Jingshi Pavilion, is a Second Order Pill Refiner, but he only refines one furnace of pill at a time."

"Hiss! Does this not mean that Hall Master Luo\'s alchemy skills are not inferior to a Second Order Pill Refiner?"

"Hard to say, really hard to say!"

Luo Chen did not hear the discussions outside.

If he had, he would probably have laughed out loud.

You must be joking!

Today is his stage, and he definitely would not spoil his own show.

So, when starting the alchemy stove, he was refining at what he was best at, the Fasting Elixir!

This thing, he was so close to reaching perfection, maxing out his proficiency!

Three furnaces? If there were three more, he had the confidence to handle it.

About two hours later.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds, Luo Chen took a deep breath.

"Stop the fire!"

"Disperse!"

The Alchemists responsible for heating the furnaces in the three pill rooms all withdrew.

In Luo Chen\'s words, the end of the alchemy process was the most dangerous time.

At that time, a furnace explosion or toxic waste pill gas might occur, hence alchemists usually carry out the pill collection process alone.

At this moment, the doors of the three pill rooms were still wide open.

In full view of everyone, Luo Chen let out a burst of Spirit Power, executing his Grandmaster-level Attraction Technique.

The lids of the three furnaces flew up in an instant, then landed on the wall-mounted iron rack next to them.

He raised both hands, and a swarm of elixirs instantly flew out from a Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace.

At a glance, there were nearly fifty or sixty pills, each slowly floating in the air.

And that wasn\'t all, similar scenes unfolded at the other two furnaces as well.

On the pill tripod placed at the center of the Large Pill Room, there were even over a hundred pills.

An intense fragrance suddenly filled the air.

The smell of medicine, meat, grains and and other pleasant aromas melded together, forming the distinctive fragrance of a pill that everyone was familiar with.

"Is it the Fasting Pill?"

"It seems so!"

"All this fanfare just for the Fasting Pill?"

"That\'s not it!"

Amidst the discussions, Luo Chen casually waved his hand.

Over two hundred elixirs fell neatly into the hands of each Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivator of the Broken Mountain Gang, each receiving at least two.

Notably, more than two glossy flesh-colored elixirs landed in Uncle Mi Shuhua\'s hands.

"Is this an Ascendant-grade Fasting Pill?"

A flash of surprise crossed Uncle Mi Shuhua\'s face.

Although the Fasting Elixir was only a substandard pill, one that was of Ascendant Grade would have an effect not inferior to that of a true Low-Level Fasting Pill.

It could keep a cultivator from feeling hungry for half a month, providing enough strength for normal activities.

Had Luo Chen actually concocted an Ascendant-grade Fasting Pill?

He looked at others, finally noticing the shock on everyone\'s faces.

"Both of mine are Ascendant-grade!"

"I have one Medium-grade and one Ascendant grade, based on the flaws in the pill imprints!"

"Two Medium-grade ones!"

"One lower grade, one Ascendant grade!"

While no one was looking, Luo Chen wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead.

11:18

Making Fasting Pills wasn\'t difficult, and making Ascendant-grade Fasting Pills wasn\'t difficult for him either.

What really strained him was concocting Fasting Pills of different grades in the same furnace.

From Ascendant to medium to lower-grade, all kinds of Fasting Pills were available.

In fact, that scenario was the norm in the alchemy.

In a batch of pills, due to the convergence of medicinal properties and the control of spirit power, some would become waste pills, some would be of good quality, and some would just barely form.

The number of pills and the quality of pills were unpredictable.

Only an experienced Grandmaster in alchemy could produce pills with relatively stable quality.

Luo Chen could absolutely be considered a Grandmaster in concocting Fasting Pills, as he could make every pill an Ascendant grade one.

However, he couldn\'t reveal this talent in front of Uncle Mi Shuhua and the others.

Because it was just too outrageous!

If word got out, even Uncle Mi Shuhua couldn\'t protect him.

Who knows? Perhaps a stronger force might kidnap him and turn him into one of their tools.

In comparison to an unknown force, he preferred the Broken Mountain Gang more.

His grand plan of exploiting the gang for its resources had only just begun.

As a result, upon deciding to become the Hall Master, he spent ten full days in his home studying how to concoct "normal pills".

He wouldn\'t be able to do it if he was a beginner in terms of proficiency.

But, in the case of Fasting Pills, he was at the Grandmaster level, with the system providing him knowledge covering each stage of experience.

By constantly reversing the process, he managed to master the essence of it.

And that\'s how he managed to accomplish what he did today.

"Sixty Ascendant-grade, one hundred and twenty Medium-grade, and thirty-one Lower-grade."

Upon receiving the final tally, Uncle Mi Shuhua showed a genuinely joyful smile.

He patted Luo Chen\'s shoulder.

"With you, I have no worries about the Pill Hall!"

Before Luo Chen could respond with flattering words, he turned to the others.

"This batch of Fasting Pills serves as a welcoming gift for all of you. Although they aren\'t very valuable, it\'s the thought that counts."

"Our Hall Master Luo Chen\'s masterpiece isn\'t this low-grade Fasting Pill."

"He will showcase his full capabilities to refine good pills for the gang."

"With his addition to the Broken Mountain Gang, our Gang will become increasingly prosperous and the cultivational resources for everyone will also multiply."

"So, everyone must give your full support to Hall Master Luo in the future!"

This old man sure has a gift for gab.

Feeling rather helpless inside, Luo Chen nevertheless put on an appropriately proud expression on his face.

Following that, the cultivators from various branches started cheering.

"We will definitely support! We will definitely support!"

"Having Hall Master Luo is the Gang\'s fortune!"

"I, Long Gen, am the first to support Hall Master Luo! He will lead the Broken Mountain Gang to make a name for ourselves in the Great River District, and throughout all Yu Ding Realm!"

Hearing these flattering words that cost them nothing, Luo Chen allowed himself a smug smile.

From today onward, he had truly made a name for him.

The top Alchemist of the Broken Mountain Gang!

In the future, he might even be the top Alchemist in the Great River District, the Yu Ding Realm, and the Eastern Wasteland.

People should always have dreams, right?
