Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: The Ruthless Moving Cannon Platform_1

Lack of actual combat experience is indeed Luo Chen's greatest weakness.

But this shortcoming is multifaceted, with the level of cultivation being the biggest constraint.

You can't expect a rogue cultivator without good magic tools, without powerful techniques, without a high level of cultivation to have an abundance of combat experience.

People like Wang Yuan are rare cases.

Grandmasters of the mortal path of martial arts are stronger physically than most Qi Refinement Cultivators.

And before cultivating as an immortal, Wang Yuan had accumulated plenty of experience in fighting with humans.

Otherwise, in the Great River District, where there are tens of thousands of rogue cultivators, hundreds being in the late stage of Qi Refinement, why would Wang Yuan have such a notorious reputation? Why could he sell unidentified magical artifacts at the market every day with no problem, while being at the seventh level of Qi Refinement?

Now, Luo Chen also has a good magic tool (the Soul Breaking Nail) and a powerful technique (the Perfection Level Fireball Technique).

Leveling up has become the most urgent thing.

Just in time, Luo Chen has met the basic requirements for leveling up!

That bottle of Qi Nurturing Pills, there are a total of ten fine, unopened pills.

It is rumored that with enough investment, a thousand bottles of the Qi Nurturing Pills can create a ninth level Qi Refinement Cultivator.

Of course, this is just a rumor.

Because a thousand bottles would cost one hundred thousand lower grade spirit stones, and when converted to ascendant grade spirit stones, it's ten!

Even a great sect wouldn't dare to make such a big investment.

Moreover, for people with good Spirit Root talents, even without taking elixirs, they would cultivate at a quick pace.

Since Luo Chen's Spirit Root is terrible, if there are pills available, he will definitely take them.

With the help of the calming incense, Luo Chen has once again circulated the Longevity Technique to reach his peak state.

In this perfect state, he takes a Qi Nurturing Pill.

As the pill gets into his body, stimulated by the spirit power, it transforms into rolling heat that fills him up and rushes towards his meridians.

Luo Chen feels a sense of bloating and filling up inside him.

Frowning, he circulates the Longevity Technique again, channeling this medicinal power into his Dantian.

The efficiency of the spirit power absorbed and refined by the cultivation technique is influenced by the Spirit Root talent, reducing efficiency greatly.

But not with elixirs!

As long as you swallow it, while the refining might be a bit slow, the medicinal power is inside your body after all.

Spending some time, it would eventually get refined, becoming a part of you.

The process of taking the pill and refining the medicine lasted for an hour.

When Luo Chen felt the situation inside his body and opened his eyes, he was joyous!

He opens the attribute panel.

[Name: Luo Chen]

[Lifespan: 27/75]

[Spirit Roots: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth]

[Cultivation Level: Third Level Qi Refinement Stage:78/100]

[Cultivation Technique: Longevity Technique Mastery: 280/300]

[Techniques: Fireball Technique Perfection 355/500, Carefree Wandering Mastery 203/300, Entanglement Technique Proficiency 176/200, Cleaning Technique Beginner 52/100]

[Skills: First Order Pill Refiner: Fasting Pill Grandmaster 540/1000, Allure Pill Beginner 37/100]

[Achievement Points: 2 points]

It's increased! It's increased!

Having a real-time attribute display panel is great.

Luo Chen can observe his conditions at any moment.

The last time he checked, the charge for Cultivation Level was at Third Level Qi Refinement Stage: 76/100.

After refining the Qi Nurturing Pill, it has gone up by two points and reached 78.

Actually, Luo Chen discovered that the attributes displayed on this panel are not measured by the same standard.

For the cultivation techniques, techniques, and skills, it's proficiency.

But for lifespace and cultivation level, it's the progress bar.

If he could fully refine this bottle of elixirs, the progress bar should be able to reach 96/100, which would not be far from progressing to the fourth layer.

"The proficiency of the Longevity Technique has also increased rapidly, and with the help of calming incense, it should be able to reach the Perfection Level soon," he thought.

"The Fireball Technique had qualitative changes when it reached the Perfection Level. So what kind of changes would occur when the Longevity Technique reaches the Perfection Level?"

Luo Chen was keenly expecting it!

...

The next day, Luo Chen returned to his regular life.

The routine, but it was not boring.

Every refined pill signaled the growth of wealth.

The refinement of Qi Nurturing Pills represented the increase in cultivation level.

The proficiency increase in the Fireball Technique and Carefree Wandering represented the enhancement of combat power.

This visible continuous improvement was simply addicting.

If he did not need to consider the limited resources and dangers from the outside world, Luo Chen would even want to cultivate quietly for the rest of his life.

One late night, three days later, Luo Chen shivered all over.

He opened his eyes with unabashed joy.

"Longevity Technique has reached the Perfection Level!"

"I wonder what the changes are?"

After taking a brief rest, Luo Chen began to run the technique again, carefully sensing the difference from before.

Half an hour later, his expression was a bit odd.

"The time has been halved. It used to take an hour to fully execute, but now it only takes half an hour."

"The amount of Spirit Qi refined has also been doubled."

If the efficiency of Qi absorption and transformation of a Five Spirit Roots Cultivator is set as a standard, a Quadruple Spirit Roots Cultivator would be about double, a Triple Spirit Root would be four times, and a Dual Spirit Root would be eight times.

Luo Chen didn't know the exact standard for a single Spirit Root Cultivator, also known as Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator, as he had never met one.

But it should be at least twenty times the standard!

After all, there are legends in the Immortal Cultivation World that a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator can establish his foundation within ten years without consuming any elixirs.

This is truly terrifying!

The reason that Luo Chen was not recruited by those sects was not only because of his age, but mainly because his Five Spirit Root Talent was a hindrance.

Without any external aid, he would need more than two hundred years to establish his foundation.

But the maximum lifespan of a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator is just around 120-130 years.

Now, the efficiency of absorbing and converting Spirit Qi through the Longevity Technique has doubled!

What does this mean?

It means that his current talent can be compared to that of a Quadruple Spirit Root Cultivator, without the aid of external resources, he would be able to establish his foundation within a hundred years.

"This is good news, meaning that the speed of my Spirit Qi recovery has accelerated significantly, allowing me to use more spirit power to improve the proficiency of my techniques."

"However, I can't be complacent."

"Although it's comparable to a Quadruple Spirit Root Cultivator, Quadruple Spirit Roots are still considered trash. Moreover, I only have 48 years of lifespan left, so the prospect of establishing my foundation is remote. Therefore, it's not enough to just cultivate hard."

In the end, I still need to consume elixirs!

To afford the Qi Nurturing Pills, I need Spirit Stones. I can't stop making money.

This is a century-long plan to run through my entire life!

Collecting his thoughts and taking advantage of the lingering scent of the burned Calming Incense, Luo Chen peacefully fell asleep.

...

The sky was beginning to lighten.

In the foggy plain by the stream, a figure was moving up and down like a roc.

Each time the figure flashed by, it would leave streaks of afterimages.

"Fireball Technique, go!"

With a low shout, a burning fireball suddenly flew out, leaving a huge crater in the wild grass-covered plain.

The figure didn't pause, nor stop to check the outcome, continuing his quick movements to another side.

Then, like before, he launched a Fireball Technique at a slanted angle.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

By the time Luo Chen stopped, the wilderness was a mess with large and small craters exuding a scorching heat. contemporary romance

After catching his breath, Luo Chen was quite satisfied with today's training result.

He no longer fantasized about battle scenes of flight and invisibility, cutting off heads with a single sword.

Instead, he started to imitate Wang Yuan's combat style.

Although Wang Yuan has transitioned from the Path of Martial Arts to the Path of Immortal, his combat style still retained some elements of his martial arts.

He used his strong body for quick movements, sharp magical tools, and various techniques to attack his enemies.

The scene of Wang Yuan wielding a large knife, stepping on the beams, falling from the sky, gave him a strong impression.

The fact that he managed to defeat three enemies was even more shocking.

Luo Chen was no fool. He quickly caught on to the merits of this.

"Although I don't have strong close-quarters combat capability, the Perfection Level Fireball Technique has an extremely fast casting speed and formidable power."

"By utilizing the Carefree Wandering technique, I could become a ruthless mobile artillery."

"If I encounter an enemy on whom the Fireball Technique is ineffective, I also have two Soul Breaking Nails to keep up my sleeve."

Close-quarter combat could be extremely dangerous for cultivators with weak physical constitutions.

The strategy of a long-range mobile artillery is relatively safer, allowing both offensive and fleeing strategies.

Through continuous practice in these days, Luo Chen had preliminarily determined his future combat style.

As his realm improved, he could begin to acquire more practical experience.

And that day was not far off!

Boosted by the refreshing morning wind, Luo Chen leaped over the small creek and returned home.

"Pill Refinement, Pill Refinement!"

All he wanted to do now was make money!
