Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3213 - 1210: Pill Refinement Talent, Pill Master Xuan Luo_3

Luo Chen curiously asked, "If one passes the assessment, can they then receive training from the Alchemy Institute?"

Lü Su nodded, "Yes, but the intensity of the training is actually quite limited. You’ll know more specifics once you pass the assessment."

The two stopped talking and followed Master He to a separate room.

"Lü Su, stay by the side without interrupting."

"Okay!"

"Xuan Luo, right? Come here and first select the herbs that I specifically named from these. Both the type and potency must be correct."

The cabinets were filled with various herbs.

Luo Chen received the list and stood in front of the cabinets.

He glanced at the list and knew roughly which herbs were needed for the elixir.

It’s the Fasting Pill!

The required ingredients are Angelica, Ginseng, and some Spirit Beast Meat.

However, just the Ginseng section of the cabinet offered many choices, with varying ages.

Luo Chen didn’t hesitate and quickly picked out the corresponding herbs.

Master He nodded in approval.

"It seems you’ve prepared well; the selected herbs match perfectly. But, lest you be led astray, let me tell you: in our alchemy, you can’t just follow formulas blindly. The required potency and age for pills are never fixed; you must learn to balance them yourself. After all, the pill formulas are constant, but the pill refiners are adaptable."

This advice likely came because of the five Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

Seeing that Luo Chen was listening, he asked, "What is your Spiritual Root?"

Luo Chen answered, "Gold and Fire Dual Spirit Roots."

Master He frowned, "How come it’s opposing Spiritual Roots?"

Then he waved his hand.

"No worries, although a Pill Refiner ideally should have Water, Fire, or Wood Spiritual Roots, or paired mutually supporting roots, having a Fire Spirit Root will suffice."

To ensure Luo Chen understood, Master He specifically explained.

The Path of Pill Refinement also considers Spiritual Root attributes.

After all, different roots result in different Qi Power attributes.

The Water Attribute is versatile and mutable; the Fire Attribute is conducive to controlling Pill Fire; Wood Root is clear and pure, all suitable for pill refinement.

However, other roots like Gold and Earth are different.

One is too sharp, and the other too heavy and obstructive, which doesn’t align well with the timing and control demanded by the Pill Refinement Technique.

"Let’s move on to the second phase; let’s see how you control the Earth Fire."

Luo Chen walked to the earth fire opening, taking a deep, exaggerated breath, looking solemn.

Then he employed the Play Flame Technique.

Within the earth fire opening, strands of Earth Fire were drawn out.

The Earth Fire, resembling a Spiritual Snake, surrounded Luo Chen.

Seeing this, Master He was startled.

"Do you primarily practice Fire Attribute Techniques?"

Luo Chen smiled without speaking.

Since it touched on his personal cultivation, Master He didn’t ask further.

"You’ve passed the vision and dexterity phases; now let’s proceed to practical application! With the materials you chose, produce a portion of Fasting Pill within an incense time."

Lü Su, watching from the side, had become quite tense.

Talent assessments for Pill Refiners typically use unranked elixirs.

He had gone through the same in his time.

Actually, these pill refinements aren’t difficult; the challenge lies within the time constraint.

Not to mention that the vision and dexterity phases aren’t easy to pass either.

Xuan Luo had performed well earlier, but concerning the actual refinement... and with a time limit...

Yet, what happened next astounded both of them.

Luo Chen took only a tea time to produce a portion of Fasting Pill.

Its quality was excellent!

Master He couldn’t help but ask, "Have you refined this before?"

Luo Chen replied truthfully, "During my time as a Rogue Cultivator, to save resources, I indeed refined some Fasting Pills myself."

This time, he was telling the truth!

Master He frowned. So, for today’s talent assessment, Xuan Luo had luck on his side, coincidentally hitting his test.

But he indeed passed.

Moreover, the fundamental pill refinement techniques displayed were quite skilled.

This alchemical talent is remarkably good!

Since that’s the case...

Master He took out a token engraved with a hazy Cloud Pattern and handed it to Luo Chen.

"Congratulations, you’ve successfully joined the Alchemy Institute. Hold this token and register at Dan Court. You’ll then be able to freely access Miao Dan Peak. Currently, you are just an unranked Pill Refiner. Once you can genuinely produce First Order Pills, a Cloud Pattern will illuminate on the token. One pattern is a First-tier Alchemist, two patterns is Second Order... and so on, up to Fifth Order. Our mighty Su Ling Sect currently only has one Five-Stripe Alchemist, a Divinity Transformation Elder who rarely opens a furnace."

"After you register, you can claim your first month’s allocation of herbs and alchemy equipment. Our Alchemy Institute’s quota is much more generous than other Refining Void Sects; we provide a batch every month. This is thanks to Su Ling Sect’s thriving herbal business, where we don’t skimp."

"Currently, you can only practice Pill Refinement Technique in the room at the base of the mountain. Once you become a One-Stripe Alchemist, you’ll be eligible for a private Pill Room Cave Mansion."

...

At the base of Miao Dan Peak, two silhouettes emerged.

Lü Su looked at Luo Chen enviously, "Brother Xuan Luo, congratulations."

Luo Chen smiled and tossed the Cloud Pattern Token in his hand.

With this identity, acting will be much easier.

He can use it to amass Contribution Points, allowing him to peruse the Su Ling Sect’s library and various Low-level Skills, rapidly accumulating Achievement Points.

He can also use the excuse of enhancing cultivation with elixirs to explain his swift progress in realm advancement.

Ultimately, when Luo Chen returns to the God Transformation Realm in an unusually short period, even if it is shocking, everything will be traceable.
