Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

In a room.

Luo Chen held the flag, examining it closely.

After a while, he slowly nodded.

“Indeed, this is the Soul-Refining Flag referred to in Gu Yue’s autobiography.”

“I never expected that this Soul-Refining Flag, which even Gu Yue does not possess, was actually created by Li Da.”

“And not only that, its rank has astonishingly reached the Ascendant Grade!”

The Soul-Refining Flag was the reason Luo Chen encountered unexpected developments.

This precious item could restrict Souls and be used as a means of attack against enemies.

If that were all, it would not be a big deal.

Luo Chen was not lacking one or two magic tools.

However, this precious item could also help Wang Yuan extract the residual soul of Duan Qiankun from his body.

This made him produce a temporary intention.

“This Li Da is really unlucky.”

Luo Chen faintly smiled, feeling no guilt for his lethal actions.

Perhaps it was because of Li Da’s disrespect towards him.

Or maybe because his state of mind had changed after his breakthrough, making him act recklessly.

Perhaps it was possible that when he was weak, he had suffered enough from the oppression from those in high positions.

Now, the young dragon slayer had turned into a ferocious dragon, showing the demeanor of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

Regardless, he really enjoyed his current state.

“Once I leave, I can start to help Wang Yuan eliminate his residual illness.”

“But having the Soul-Refining Flag will also benefit me now.”

Currently situated in the Ghost City.

Although Luo Chen believes that his methods are sufficient to handle everything,

an artifact that deals with Yin Souls is never too many to have.

Aside from the Soul-Refining Flag, the rest of the inheritance within Li Da’s storage bag is not worth mentioning.

Some pills and conventional magic tools were not to Luo Chen’s liking.

When he leaves, he can place them in the Luo Tian Creed for the cultivators below to exchange!

The only thing that kind of interested Luo Chen were those three Ghost Mother Needles he initially accepted.

Looking at the three silver needles in his hand, Luo Chen murmured to himself. “This precious item, this is not how it should be used!”

In the Ghost City, Luo Chen walked with a lantern.

His pace was a little slower than before.

It was not because the Yin Souls he encountered on the road were too many.

But he was using this time to familiarize himself with the newly-acquired Soul-Refining Flag and Ghost Mother Needles.

The former didn’t need much explanation, he could use it to subdue slightly stronger ghost creatures, turn them into his own use.

The latter was interesting.

“Hmm, there are three more Yin Souls coming.”

His eyes glowing green, Luo Chen lifted his hand and the three silver needles flew out.

Lower rank Yin Souls were inferior to Ghost Generals, not having a condensed entity.

Ordinary people would struggle to deal with them except through the use of exorcism charms and techniques.

Previously, Luo Chen just had the Cleaning Technique, Fireball Technique, Soul Absorption Technique, and the Green Firefly Lamp to deal with them.

But now, he had something more convenient.

Three silver needles, in just an instant, passed through the three Yin Souls.

Seemingly causing no damage, but after passing through, three fibrous lines swiftly formed.

“Ooh…”

The Yin Souls let out a mournful wail, then were brought back by the Ghost Mother Needles and turned into pure Yin energy that fell into the Soul-Refining Flag-

Receiving a supplement of Yin energy, the pitch-black Soul-Refining Flag noticeably darkened a bit more.

The rank of the Soul-Refining Flag was never fixed.

It was determined by the material and the strength of the souls it contained, which decided its limit.

Luo Chen was aware of this, what he cared about was the effect of the Ghost Mother Needles.

“GhostMother Needles, Spirit Consciousness thread.”

“Indeed, these are rare Soul Technique tools that can guide Spirit Consciousness and launch attacks.”

In Gao Tingyuan’s inheritance, besides the “Soul-Refining True Technique”, there was also a book related to Spirit Consciousness.

It recorded the various uses of the outward release of Spirit Consciousness after a cultivator reaches the stage of Foundation Establishment.

Generally speaking, the Spirit Consciousness of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator was only used to detect nearby living beings.

Alternatively, it could be completely released to form the rare pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage.

His previous Spirit Consciousness confrontation with Nangong Jin was an example of the latter.

Besides these two, the effect of Spirit Consciousness was not that significant.

However, this did not mean that Spirit Consciousness had no potential.

After all, cultivators mainly cultivate Qj and secondly cultivate their divine souls. As the external manifestation of the divine soul, how could Spirit Consciousness be useless?

It was just that ordinary cultivators lacked a specific method to utilize it!

These methods were only possessed by the Great Sects.

From that book on Spirit Consciousness, Luo Chen learned that besides the specific miraculous methods of Spirit Consciousness, there was another way to use it.

Using some special materials to make magic tools, the intangible Spirit Consciousness can be manifested into tangible matter.

These Ghost Mother Needles were among these fine products.

“Li Da really did waste these… No, his Spirit Consciousness can’t be released, even if he knew how to use it, he wouldn’t be able to.”

Under Luo Chen’s exploration, the power of this set of Ghost Mother Needles was finally fully demonstrated.

Needle tools were known for their speed and stealthiness.

If they also guided the outward release of Spirit Consciousness, an ordinary Yin Soul ghost creature wouldn’t be a match at all.

Moreover, using them to vanquish lower rank Yin Souls and inject their Yin Soul energy into the Soul-Refining Flag could increase the power of the Soul- Refining Flag.

In this way, it was killing two birds with one stone!

Luo Chen put away the silver needles and continued his journey.

Two days later.

Luo Chen stood outside the White Stone Plaza.

He had been very cautious on his way, trying his best not to provoke the powerful ghost creatures, hence his slow pace.

No other option, the Big River Ghost City inside was not as simple as those low- rank Yin Souls.

This place was the burial ground of thousands of Qi Refinement Stage Rogue Cultivators.

Among them, the late stage Qi Refinement cultivators were innumerable.

With such numbers, there were often resentful souls and fierce ghosts born.

The former two, they were not comparable to low-rank Yin Souls.
