Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

As time goes by, those smaller families and sects will not be able to hold on.

Eventually, they will gradually disappear from the market of lower-rank elixirs in Tian Lan Immortal City.

In the end, only the Luo Family and the Zheng Family will remain!

“This is a minor matter!”

“Cultivation is the key!”

His thoughts gradually receding, Luo Chen slowly closed his eyes.

Breaking through the second level and advancing to the third level of Foundation Establishment will happen within these two days.

Under the gradual diffusion of the sandalwood incense, his Divine Soul gradually folded in on itself.

He took two Rising Dragon Pills into his mouth.

He swallowed one and kept the other in his mouth, always ready.

The Grandmaster-level “Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra” was functioning at full capacity, absorbing the Spirit Qi from the outer world and also refining the elixirs within his body.

Inside the Sea of Qi.

Huge waves of medicinal power entered the Spirit Qi Vortex, and during the cleansing process, they were expelled and transformed into strands of verdant Spirit Qi.

The Ninefold Heavens hung high, shaped like a funnel, from bottom to top.

The first heaven, has already been completely filled with Spirit Liquid.

And in the second heaven, the Spirit Liquid transformed from Pure Spirit Power also accumulated almost to the point of overflowing.

The difference lied in this “almost”.

As the verdant aura poured in, it originally even needed time for purification, but under the huge internal pressure, it began to undergo rapid purification and transformation.

Time, he did not know how much had passed.

The two Rising Dragon Pills had already been refined.

The Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra still circulated, intensely capturing the free Spirit Qi from the outer world.

Even if it had already been circulated more than seven times, Luo Chen did not stop.

Until!

Drip!

Another drop of Spirit Liquid formed.

This accumulated Sea of Qi finally overflowed and infiltrated the third heaven!

Also at this moment.

Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes, spreading a vastly superior aura than before.

With a flicker of thoughts, that enormous aura was concealed by him.

“Phew…”

“Finally, it is done!”

[Cultivation Level: Third Level Foundation Establishment 1/100]

Using Inner Sight, in the third heaven, a drop of Spirit Liquid faintly revealed a verdant glow.

And in the sky above, strands and strands of Spirit Qi seemed to want to form a new Spirit Qi Cloud Cluster, but restricted by inadequate Spirit Qi, they could not form for a long time.

A sense of “hunger” suddenly arose.

Luo Chen smiled slightly. Now is not the time to continue my cultivation.

A little too much is as bad as not enough, it’s better to rest for a bit.

Especially during the breakthrough process, when the large amounts of Spirit Qi were moved around relentlessly, causing some slight damage to his meridians.

This also necessitates some nurturing and healing through the Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra.

“How long has it been?”

Luo Chen, with his exhausted Divine Soul, slowly drifted to sleep.

…

“Five days, huh?”

Donning new robes, a reinvigorated Luo Chen was eating a high-quality Spirit Meal and listening to Bai Meiling tell him about the time.

Bai Meiling swayed her head.

“Yes, Master took a whole five days to break through your realm.”

Luo Chen pondered.

As realms grow increasingly higher, so do the cultivation times. Each time a realm is broken through, the time required becomes longer.

Even a breakthrough as natural as water flowing down a channel took a while to overcome challenges.

This was just the last level of the early Foundation Establishment stage, and it took five days.

What about the middle stage?

Or the later stage?

No wonder Huo Quan had been in closed-door cultivation for several months just to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

If he were to break through to the Golden Core Period, wouldn’t it take several years?

This is not just regular cultivation in secluded meditation; it is specifically secluded meditation for breaking through the realm barrier!

“It seems that in the future, when I calculate my lifespan and cultivation speed, I need to reserve time for breaking through realms.”

The breakthrough at the stage of Qi Refinement was as easy as eating and drinking.

But the Foundation Establishment Stage already manifested a large difference.

Shaking his head, Luo Chen did not think about these “distant” matters.

Barely having broken through the realm was a cause for happiness. Let him enjoy this small victory!

“Did anything happen recently?”

Bai Meiling lifted her head, both hands propping up her chin.

“Nothing much! You did say before to avoid disturbing you as much as possible.”

“Is that so…”

“Oh, there is one thing!”

Luo Chen looked speechlessly at Bai Meiling; he suspected she was doing it on purpose.

Bai Meiling giggled.

“Three days ago, a very beautiful Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator came to visit you.”

“A very beautiful Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator?”

Luo Chen frowned.

He knew quite a few Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, but a female cultivator? And a very beautiful one at that?

Could it be…

“She introduced herself as Kang Xianqiong from the Kang Family in Taishan District.”

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

He knew of the Kang Family, they had a decent relationship, and even did business together once.

But he had no clue that the Kang Family had a female cultivator named Kang Xianqiong.

It wasn’t until a day later.

When Luo Chen saw Kang Xianqiong on Danxia Peak, he finally understood.

“So it’s her!”

“What a lucky person.”
