Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

“What do you want?”

“Nothing big, your wounds have almost healed, so I thought of giving the matters of Luo Tian Creed back to you.”

Wang Yuan said with a bitter smile, “You don’t know, there has been a lot that has happened in just these few days.”

“Hmm?” Luo Chen asked curiously, “What else happened? The matters at the Golden Hall have all been handled by me. The post-reward matters are being managed by Murong Qinglian.”

“In the resources we got from the Fu Family, there are books related to talisman crafting. Recently everyone has been discussing whether or not we should set up a talisman crafting and selling branch.”

Luo Chen immediately understood.

After killing Fu Zhang a few days ago, the Rogue Cultivators of The Great River District were temporarily deterred.

Luo Tian Creed seized this opportunity, and under Wang Yuan’s leadership, they ransacked the place, and indeed obtained a lot of resources.

But, establish a new talisman-making department?

Luo Chen didn’t give it too much thought before he rejected it outright.

Wang Yuan didn’t oppose either, as he wasn’t very optimistic about the idea too.

“But, you can send me books related to talisman crafting.”

Wang Yuan casually agreed, but a frown appeared on his face after the words left his mouth.

“You’re not considering dual cultivation in talisman crafting, are you?”

“What’s wrong with that?” Luo Chen confidently said: “Although I don’t have a talisman crafting foundation, I am quite confident in the field of techniques.” “Being able to cast spells doesn’t mean you can craft talismans,” Wang Yuan earnestly advised, “Besides, pill refinement already takes up too much of your time. If you’re also distracted by talisman crafting, it will hinder your cultivation.”

“Don’t worry, I will weigh the pros and cons.”

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Wang Yuan did not say much.

Anyway, these resources should be allocated by Luo Chen in name.

Wang Yuan was quick. In a while, he sent someone to deliver everything to Luo Chen.

Alone, Luo Chen opened the storage bag.

Whoosh!

It’s indeed a not-so-small amount of resources!

There were seven talisman brushes, the best one was called Golden Bamboo, which was First Order Ascendant Grade.

In addition, there were ten jars of premium talisman ink and hundreds of high- quality talisman papers.

These were just a part of it, most of the resources are still left at the Merits Hall.

Luo Chen glanced at these things and turned towards several books and bamboo slips.

“Introduction to Talisman Making Beginner”

“Complete Collection of First-Order Talismans”

“Preliminary Understanding of Daoist Talismans”

“Discussion on the Key Points of Fireball Technique”

“How to Simplify the Making of Large-Scale Magic Spells”

Having read the names of these books, Luo Chen couldn’t help but shake his head.

“To achieve something in talisman crafting would probably require most of my lifetime. Even with the system’s help, it would still take years.”

He had self-knowledge, knowing that the system was not omnipotent.

Consider the Dao of Alchemy. He first inherited the original body’s ten years of foundation and then immersed himself in Fasting Elixir for more than a year. Subsequently, the Allure Pill came into play, and it took about a year to refine it back and forth.

Later he learned the Jade Marrow Pill and practiced it persistently.

Only with such deep accumulation, could he barely deduce the formula for the Blood Ignition Pill.

In other words, in terms of First Order Pills, Luo Chen was barely considered a Pill Refinement Grandmaster.

But even so, he still felt that the Path of Pill Refinement was profound and deep, like a towering mountain.

He has only just stepped at the foot of the mountain.

If he spends time on talisman crafting, he shouldn’t expect to have a long life.

The reason for collecting these things was also to see if he could apply lessons he learned in his technique practice from it.

After all, talisman crafting integrates techniques into talisman paper.

It requires the talisman maker to have mastery over a certain technique.

The drawing process also needs accurate control of Spirit Power, ensures the strength of the technique, and so on.

These things, in one way or another, would help Luo Chen gain some experience when practicing techniques.

In the fight against Fu Zhang, apart from using top-grade magic tools, he also used the Carefree Wind Control and the Fireball Technique Finalization.

Thus, he managed to dodge the main attack of the magic hammer and pose a threat to the enemy.

What others saw as the “Fierce Sun Technique”, was actually his Fireball Technique Finalization.

Thinking back to that time, Luo Chen was not satisfied.

“In the haste of time, the number of fireballs fused was too few, which could only pose a devastating attack on the Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivator, but it did not possess the power comparable to a Second Order Technique.”

The Second Order Technique, is comparable to a Foundation Establishment method.

In other words, it can threaten a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

“Now that I have broken through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement, my power has greatly increased. If I can further improve the Fireball Technique, I might threaten Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.”

This is Luo Chen’s true goal!

He’d had enough of the suppression from Foundation Establishment Cultivators like Mi Shuhua and Miao Wen.

He also doesn’t want to be coveted by other Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the future.

Therefore, he must master a technique that can threaten Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Techniques are his breakthrough direction.

“I can’t be hasty; I need to take it slow. One who rushes might miss the mark.”

Luo Chen selected the “Discussion on the Key Points of Fireball Technique” and put the rest of the books into his storage bag.

He decided to start his research from what he was most familiar with.

He was curious, how was the Fireball Talisman, the most common low-rank talisman, made.

At midnight, in Changyin Mountain.

There were faint howlings of demon wolves, accompanied by the chirping of insects.

Luo Chen activated the Spirit Vision Technique, looking at the three-meter deep pit blasted out by the Fireball Technique in the distance.

This was the result of his discrete use of the miniball fireball.

Its power had improved a lot compared to before.

Without confronting a Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivator, he had the confidence to face off dozens of Middle and Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators alone.

“I have a myriad of combat means, and my group damage against lower order cultivators is arguably the best among peers.”

Luo Chen was very clear about his strength.

What he needed to do now was to analyse and understand the secrets of the Fireball Technique, not for making talismans, but for integrating the effects of the Fierce Sun Technique.

“Go!”

With a thought, Luo Chen activated the technique again.

In fact, he was already able to “instantly cast” the Fireball Technique, but this time, he chose to perform it ritually.

With his eyes shining brightly, Luo Chen stared intently at the output, accumulation, and forming of spirit power.

Then the trajectory of the firing and the process of the explosion of the Fireball Technique.

Bang!

Another pit appeared, Luo Chen rubbed his tired eyes.

“Techniques use hand signs and chants as triggers, spirit power as the source of energy, and finally form.”

“The blessing of the system allows me, in continuous proficiency, to skip the steps of hand signs and chants, reaching the realm of instant casting.”

“In fact, this is the right direction.”

“If the spirit consciousness could be externalized, a thought could replace hand signs and chants to cast relatively low-rank techniques.”

“The direction is right, but before, I only knew it, and did not know why.’

“Under the condition that spirit consciousness can’t be externalized, the hand signs and chants actually represent the route of spirit power gathering, structural composition, and detonation, etc.”

“If I hold the last strand of spirit power and do not release it, does it mean that the explosion of the Fireball Technique can be delayed?”

“If this strand of spirit power is injected ahead of time, will the forming time be saved a bit?”

In the process of constant thinking, Luo Chen repeatedly cast the Fireball Technique.

He kept the Spirit Vision Technique running, paying attention to the changes within.

He didn’t directly start with the fusion of the Fireball to form the Fierce Sun Technique, but instead dissected and analyzed the basic Fireball Technique.

Because Luo Chen believed that any high-rank technique could not ignore the most basic things.

This inspiration actually came from the Second Order Technique “Mountain Collapse.”

The described power of this technique is extremely powerful.

It is no less than the powerful Second Order Techniques like Ten Thousand Sword, Ice Soul Divine Needle, and Thunder Quake, and it is even better than the fire series Fierce Sun Technique.

But for this technique, three prerequisite techniques must be learned first.

Isn’t this emphasizing the importance of fundamentals?

By dawn, Luo Chen stopped his cultivation.

Although the drawback of the slow fusion speed of the Fierce Sun Technique has not been completely resolved, he has gained a lot this night.

This was reflected in his ordinary Fireball Technique and the miniball technique, Flying Flame Fireflies, which were more powerful than before. “Strange, why are my eyes so sore!”

Unconsciously, Luo Chen rubbed his eyes again.

“Is it because I overused the Spirit Vision Technique last night?”

“Spirit Vision Technique…”

Luo Chen suddenly paused, tightly closing his eyes.

In the pitch darkness, faint colorful lights appeared.

The Spirit Vision Technique had finally achieved Finalization!
