Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3226 - 1215: All Living Beings, Ripples of the Dao Heart (2)

Regarding the heated discussion within the hall, He Jun was momentarily indecisive.

He looked towards Luo Chen.

"Xuan Luozi, what do you think?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "I’m fine with any option, but I’ll follow my senior brother’s arrangements."

He Jun fell into deep thought.

The fervent gazes around him seemed to go unnoticed.

After a while of contemplation, he finally spoke up.

"I understand the thoughts of everyone here, but there’s one thing I can point out directly. If there are indeed results, everyone will have contributed, it’s not restricted to just one person. But if it ends up being nothing, then it’s just a fleeting happiness for everyone."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd subtly changed.

Clearly, He Jun had hit the nail on the head.

They were all striving to gain Luo Chen’s favor, hoping this pill refinement genius could achieve a breakthrough in the area they were responsible for.

Later on, when discussing merits and rewards, they could claim a greater share of the credit.

But as He Jun stated, the premise is that there really are results!

He Jun shifted the topic, "As for Xuan Luozi, my thoughts are that he’s new here, and to him, our current progress is unfamiliar. Therefore, I intend to let him learn from everyone for a while before making further plans."

Ning Fu couldn’t help but ask, "Including my area?"

He Jun nodded gently, "Yes, as you said, after all, the major theoretical direction was proposed by Xuan Luozi. His pharmacological knowledge may not be sufficient, but with your supplementation, he can work and learn at the same time."

Ning Fu turned and gave Luo Chen a bright smile.

"Junior Brother Xuan Luo, I’ll be seeking your guidance in the future."

Others also began to chime in.

Clearly, they agreed with He Jun’s arrangements.

Rotating position!

Luo Chen humbly responded while glancing surprisingly at He Jun.

This convenient senior brother truly had some skills.

He could ease internal tensions, inspire people, and was quite thoughtful in his arrangements for him.

Though it seemed he wasn’t focusing on any particular aspect, if he truly was a pill refinement genius, the learning from this rotation could yield achievements equivalent to decades.

This was providing him with five experienced second-order pill refiners as mentors!

It might not be necessary for Luo Chen, but for a true beginner, it was indeed a great gift!

And thus, Luo Chen officially joined He Jun’s team to begin research on the Circulating Qi Pill.

In reality, improving a third-order pill formula wasn’t so difficult for Luo Chen.

But the Circulating Qi Pill was somewhat special, as it was an ancient fragmented recipe from the mystic realm, with many primary and auxiliary ingredients already missing.

Just completing it consumed hundreds of years of Gongsun Mao’s efforts, let alone improving and mass-producing it.

Luo Chen was very interested in this kind of pill, too.

If he could truly refine it, it would not only consolidate his status as a pill refinement genius in the Su Ling Sect, but also explain the upcoming realm’s explosive growth.

Yet for this process, he wouldn’t use the attribute panel and waste achievement points.

As his realm increased, he found the attribute panel’s help became smaller, because many things could no longer be achieved simply by practice.

Instead, the initially insignificant achievement points became his greatest aid.

To deduce cultivation techniques, practice divine powers, and grasp the true direction of the Great Dao.

He must spend the accumulated achievement points in the most suitable places!

Thus, he became increasingly attentive to the upcoming tasks.

Aside from the regular cultivation within the cave mansion, he spent most of his time in the Alchemy Institute.

...

Amongst a pile of waste pills.

Little Poison Lord smacked his lips, as if savoring something.

Beside him, Luo Chen curiously asked, "How is it?"

Little Poison Lord spat, "A bit spicy!"

"Spicy?" Luo Chen furrowed his brow, "Is it too intense?"

Little Poison Lord nodded, "More or less, not on the body but on the divine soul, giving me a feeling of intense agitation."

Luo Chen noted it on a bamboo slip, thoughtfully considering, "To cause this situation, either there’s a mistake in the timing, or it’s due to the Flame Spirit Flower we used as an auxiliary ingredient."

Little Poison Lord looked at Luo Chen in surprise, "So quickly identifying the source of the problem? Couldn’t it be something else that went wrong?"

Luo Chen chuckled as he closed the bamboo slip, "Of course, other aspects could have problems, but these two are the most likely, so let’s eliminate them first."

"Agreed." Little Poison Lord didn’t object, "You could ask Senior Brother Xiao or Senior Sister Ning."

Luo Chen bid farewell but couldn’t help asking before leaving, "Brother Tang, it’s understandable they call you Poison Monarch, but why add ’Little’ in front?"

Little Poison Lord laughed heartily, pointing to himself, "This body of hundred poisons immunity was obtained by chance through a miraculous drug. But in the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, there is indeed a Hundred Poison True Monarch who reached the Refining Void Realm relying on poison skills. Naturally, everyone calls me Little Poison Lord, haha, just a compliment."

Luo Chen paused for a moment, unexpectedly encountering this information.

But could cultivation of poison skills truly reach the Refining Void Stage?

Or is there some poison that can deal with Divinity Transformation Void Refining Cultivators?

...

Within the pill room, Senior Brother Xiao was confidently assuring Zhu Xiao and Luo Chen in front of him that his timing control was definitely fine.

Even if there were issues, they were just minor ones.

Under the pressure of the two, he could only quietly say that he would try a few more times.

With continuously changing timing in the refinement process, he ended up covered in ashes, devoid of any Foundation Establishment cultivator demeanor.

Even Luo Chen couldn’t help but laugh heartily at the sight.

...

In the pharmacy.

The candlelight flickered, and a subtle fragrance lingered.

Ning Fu gently descended from the bookshelf, approached Luo Chen, and pointed at an open page.

"Your deduction is correct, the Flame Spirit Flower is indeed recorded in another ancient book, with an additional fiery and soul-harming characteristic that we missed. Fortunately, Junior Brother Tang is known as Little Poison Lord, with a body immune to hundred poisons. Otherwise, if someone else took the elixir, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be embarrassed."

Soul-harming, just from the words, you could tell what it was.

Ning Fu combed her hair, "But this characteristic doesn’t usually appear, the main ingredient’s Spirit Qi might have activated it?"

Luo Chen nodded, "It’s possible, but Flame Spirit Flower is indeed unsuitable as an auxiliary ingredient for stimulating the divine soul. We need to replace it with other divine soul-related herbal materials; do you have any good recommendations?"

Ning Fu playfully rolled her eyes at Luo Chen, "Stop using ’you’ and call me Senior Sister! Or, call me Sister Ning, Junior Brother Xuan Luo."

Junior Brother Xuan Luo!

Either as a form of respect by calling Xuan Luozi or by entering earlier due to higher realm, calling Junior Brother Xuan Luo.

Both honored and diminished; what was this supposed to mean?

Was it teasing?

Luo Chen was left helpless.

Sometimes, for those below Divinity Transformation, he regarded them as mere ants.

But upon real contact, he realized each person was living and breathing.

Regardless of realm strength, it was about temperament and personality.

Within this small Alchemy Institute in Su Ling Sect, specifically within the minor Miao Dan Peak, upon serious interaction, these convenient senior brothers and sisters he shouldn’t have cared for constantly stirred ripples in his heart.

According to his Dao Heart, it shouldn’t be this way!

On recalling this point, Luo Chen’s helpless expression suddenly paused.

He remembered not long ago; he once fussed over the gain and loss for some contribution points, as if returning to the former days in The Great River District period.

Was it a sign of an unstable Dao Heart?

Yet even if the realm fell, his Dao Heart, tempered through countless trials, shouldn’t show the slightest wavering.

While Luo Chen was deep in thought, Ning Fu pouted and tapped on Luo Chen’s shoulder.

"Alright, you’re really too sensitive to teasing."

Then she bent over the table, writing while speaking:

"I have a rough idea for a few replacements, Star Dust Grass, Bodhi Insect, Mirage Fruit... which one do you think is more suitable?"

Luo Chen’s gaze absentmindedly swept over her voluptuous figure and the names of the herbs.

Subconsciously, he said, "Bodhi Insect, I suppose!"

After saying it, he staggered a bit, rising to bid farewell.

Behind him, Ning Fu furrowed her slender eyebrows.

Was she too boundaryless?

Or was Junior Brother Xuan Luo too rigid?

But from their previous interactions, Junior Brother Xuan Luo didn’t seem like someone who couldn’t take a joke!

In her view, unseen, Luo Chen left Xu Jingtian’s small courtyard and followed the moonlight down Miao Dan Peak.

He didn’t fly using a magic artifact, just walked along the mountain path under the moonlight.

On his once resolute face, an inexplicable sense of confusion appeared.

Moreover, a mysterious aura seemed to linger around him unceasingly.
