Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Perhaps it still falls short when compared to some long-standing Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivators.

However, Luo Chen has been spending without ceasing over the past month.

Whether it’s the extra purchasing of Dusting Pills or Calming Incense, he has spent quite a lot of Spirit Stones.

As for the milk tea shop, he invested six to seven hundred Spirit Stones into it.

Overall, each Spirit Stone has been used to its maximum potential.

Hearing Mi Shuhua’s compliments, Luo Chen smiled heartily.

He stashed the Spirit Stones, four bottles of Dusting Pills, and a box of Calming Incense into his Storage Bag.

Luo Chen rubbed his hands together, taking advantage of Mi Shuhua’s good mood to ask some cultivation-related questions.

“You mean Pure Spirit Power?”

As Mi Shuhua stroked his beard, his Spirit Consciousness swept over Luo Chen, who was still at the Seventh Level Qi Refinement stage.

He smiled and said, “Purifying Spirit Power during the Late Stage Qi Refinement isn’t an overnight effort, and there’s no trick to it, it only depends on your persistent hard work”.

“Really, there’s no trick?” Luo Chen was still doubtful.

The progress of his cultivation could be visibly examined daily.

But when it came to Spirit Power purity, the advance was not substantial.

He realized this problem occasionally while familiarizing himself with techniques on the back mountain.

With the same common technique, Zhou Yuanli only needed a small amount of Pure Spirit Power to execute it.

But he had to continually inject large amounts of Spirit Power. Although the speed was fast, the power was similar.

The gap was found in the two of them; the purity of their Spirit Power.

His Spirit Power was too ethereal.

Perhaps it was because he always relied on pill cultivation, Luo Chen’s Spirit Power volume surpassed that of his peers, but his usage during Technique execution was larger.

Hearing Luo Chen’s persistent questioning, Mi Shuhua pondered for a while.

“Actually, there is a trick, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to use it at the moment.”

“Oh? Please do tell!”

“Cultivation Technique!”

Looking at Luo Chen, Mi Shuhua gently uttered these two words.

“All Qi Refinement Cultivation Techniques, once they reach the late stage, will have more or less active Spirit Power purifying functions.”

“But these functions depend on the rank of the Cultivation Technique.”

“What you are cultivating now is the Longevity Technique, and this technique originates from the Medicine King Sect.”

He shook his head, “It is rumored that the Longevity Technique is derived from the Medicine King Sect’s Evergreen Sutra, it has taken the continuous features of the Evergreen Sutra. But the most famous evergreen feature of the Evergreen Sutra was not retained in the Longevity Technique.”

“And this evergreen feature in the Qi Refinement stage is Pure Spirit Power. After reaching the Completion Stage, the Spirit Power is as brilliant as azure and vibrant. Even when you are nearing your final years, the Spirit Power is still extremely pure, it could even preserve your youthful appearance.”

Listening to this explanation, Luo Chen was incredibly confused.

When it came to his Natal Qi Technique, he was helpless.

He couldn’t possibly change to another technique that specializes in Spirit Power purification now, could he?

However, the words from Mi Shuhua that followed, demolished his last glimmer of hope.

“In fact, most of the techniques the Rogue Cultivator can get in contact with, or those that are circulating in the market, are simplified by the Great Sects.”

“Their core characteristics have almost all been plucked out of these simplified techniques.”

Surprised, Luo Chen asked, “Then how do we, the Rogue Cultivators, solve the problem of Natal Qi Technique after lucking out to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage?”

With a bitter smile, Mi Shuhua answered, “What else can we do? We can look around in the black market, buy at auctions, or just try our luck at mystical places.”

Luo Chen frowned, “In that case, there are chances that the techniques we acquire may not fit well with our Spirit Root, right?”

With a sigh, Mi Shuhua agreed with Luo Chen’s guess.

Seeing that Luo Chen was still frowning, he tried to comfort him:

“Actually, you don’t need to be troubled. Pure Spirit Power is a matter for the entire Late Stage Qi Refinement. Only disciples of the Great Sect would start purifying as soon as they entered the Late Stage Qi Refinement.”

“For us Rogue Cultivators, many of us only start thinking about it after advancing to the Ninth Level Qi Refinement.”

“Even without those good techniques, we will eventually grind out Pure Spirit Power through hard work over the years.”

Whether Spirit Power is pure or not doesn’t have a significant impact on one’s combat ability of the same level.

After all, many people rely on Magic Tools for combat.

As long as there’s enough Spirit Power to control the Magic Tool, whether it’s pure or ethereal, it doesn’t make much difference.

But this does have some impact on Luo Chen, who is more adept at Technique combat.

Moreover, from the “Qi Refinement Experience” that Mi Shuhua gave him earlier, he knew that in addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, the cultivator’s degree of Spirit Power purity is also one of the most critical factors to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

That’s why he started worrying about this matter at the Seventh Level Qi Refinement.

But even Mi Shuhua couldn’t provide him with much help.

“If it really doesn’t work, wait for the auction to start next year and see what Spirit Medicine Hall has to offer!”

“Hm?” Luo Chen suddenly lifted his head.

“The Medicine King Sect is the top Pill Refinement Great Sect in the Thirty-Six Realms of the Eastern Wasteland. Although they can’t surpass the Dark Abyss Sect, which has a Pill Saint in high-level pills, they do have an advantage in low-level pills.”

“And if the scope is reduced to the Six Realms of the Far East, as long as it’s related to pills, it’s hard to escape from the Medicine King Sect.”

“Almost all pills related to cultivation have been explored by the Medicine King Sect.”

In the face of Luo Chen’s eager gaze, Mi Shuhua spoke eloquently.

“And for the purification of Spirit Power, they also have a special pill—the Spirit Pill.”

As soon as this name came out, Luo Chen instantly understood its effect.

Spirit Pill, the pill for Pure Spirit Qi.

“This pill is divided into three orders, and it can be used by cultivators in the Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages.”

“But because the techniques of the Sect Disciples mostly have an accompanying purification effect, the sales volume of Spirit Pill is not good. Therefore, The Medicine King Sect mostly exports it, selling it to regions outside the Eastern Wasteland..”
