Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 631: Chapter 263: From Bird Gun to Cannon, the Cultivation Environment Is Fully Upgraded. _3

Qiu Yin, being the oldest and having served as a deacon in the Pill Hall, was more composed.

She asked several questions, and Luo Chen answered each one.

As for the young Ma Shoupu, he made bold statements similar to Qu Lingjun, with a hint of rivalry.

Luo Chen didn’t care, left the Pill Room, and immediately let them find a separate room to take the elixir.

“Master, do you value these four very much?”

Bai Meiling floated over.

Luo Chen sat on the couch, sniffing fragrant sandalwood. He held a cold, white book in his hands.

Each page seemed like it was made of ice.

The words on the pages were extraordinarily vivid as if they were alive.

This was the book titled “Shang Hu Pill Formula”, a Third Order Pill Refiner’s insights given to him by the Jueqing Fairy.

Compared to the simple “Qingyuan Pill Explanation”, this “Shang Hu Pill Formula” was much more complex.

It involved the Second and Third Order Pill Refinement Techniques, which Luo Chen had to spend a lot of effort to slowly comprehend.

He had only managed to read a few pages since he got the book half a month ago.

Now, hearing Bai Meiling’s words, Luo Chen replied without looking up:

“Of course, I value them. Why do you ask?”

Bai Meiling asked, puzzled, “But the highest cultivation level among them is only at the Seventh Level Qi Refinement, and their pill refinement skills can’t even match yours. Why spend so much effort to cultivate them?”

“Heh heh.”

Luo Chen chuckled softly, “That’s because they have potential worth cultivating!”

Among the four, Qu Lingjun had the most talent, followed by Ma Shoupu.

Mi Li was slightly better, and Qiu Yin the least.

Whether it was Luo Chen personally answering their questions or providing practical demonstrations, everything he did, including granting them a Tongyou Pill that only a Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivator could exchange for in Luo Tian Creed, was to help them improve their Pill Refinement Technique.

After experiencing the memory simulation from the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror,

Even though those simulated memories weren’t necessarily how the future would actually unfold, some of the memories could still serve as a cautionary tale.

In his simulated memories, Luo Chen refined pills for over two hundred years.

Even though it seemed like he hadn’t wasted time on cultivation, living like that was exhausting.

If he could save more time from pill refinement and use it for cultivation instead, would he have achieved even greater success?

The answer to this question was obvious without giving it much thought.

He would have definitely achieved greater success!

The reason was simple. The Heart Inquiry Mirror’s simulation didn’t take his System into account!

And Luo Chen’s System was the Proficiency Panel.

To increase his proficiency, he needed time.

As of now, he still had many skills that weren’t leveled up to the max.

Thus, he needed time!

So how could he free himself from the endless pill refinement work?

If he could cultivate some Pill Refiners who can take his place, that would be enough!

Of course, some might think Luo Chen considers them as tools, exploiting them ruthlessly.

But if questioned, they would definitely want such an opportunity.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, many desired exploitation by higher powers but didn’t have a chance.

After all, Luo Chen was a genuine Second Order Pill Refiner!

In some individual pill refinements, he was undoubtedly a pill refining Grandmaster!

Having Luo Chen personally guide and cultivate them was a blessing they couldn’t possibly attain in multiple lifetimes.

Without Luo Chen, Qu Lingjun, who has Quadruple Spirit Roots, would have never been able to make a name for himself.

Without Luo Chen, Mi Li, whose family was broken and herself was frequently ill, had no future to speak of.

And without someone to bring out their talent, neither Qiu Yin nor Ma Shoupu could bring their potential into full play.

Instead, now that they have Luo Chen, they could express their talents and had a good chance of reaching Foundation Establishment in the future!

Whether because of grudges, feelings, or vested interest,

Luo Chen clearly understood who was right and wrong.

They, too, probably knew the score.

“Ho, someone’s awake!”

Luo Chen put down the “Shang Hu Pill Formula” and walked toward a room.

The first to wake up was Qiu Yin.

As Luo Chen expected.

Looking at Qiu Yin, her head aching and face downcast, Luo Chen smiled slightly.

“Take a good rest, or you can take a walk around.”

“Um, thank you, President.”

Qiu Yin nodded, then unconsciously curled up at the head of the bed, hugging her knees to her chest.

It seemed like her dream wasn’t very pleasant!

Luo Chen didn’t delve deeper.

Following that, Mi Li, Ma Shoupu, and Qu Lingjun woke up one after another.

The last to wake up was Qu Lingjun. True to his word, he didn’t let Luo Chen down.

He endured for the time it takes to brew two pots of tea, almost ten minutes.

Luo Chen, back then, only endured about one incense stick, which was fifteen minutes.

“Go out for a walk. Enjoy the night breeze and the nighttime scenery of Tianlan Peak.”

“Mi Li and the others are waiting for you outside.”

Luo Chen ruffled the young man’s hair.

He was clearly in his twenties, but after waking from his dream, he was crying like a child, tears soaking his clothes.

It must’ve been a sad dream.

Standing in the living room, watching Qu Lingjun leave the Immortal Mansion with Mi Li’s assistance, Luo Chen turned to Bai Meiling and said:

“Keep an eye on them for me. They’re circling nearby. Make sure they don’t go to other Immortal Mansions.”

Bai Meiling nodded hurriedly.

She was always active at night!

Having taken care of everything, Luo Chen entered the Quiet Room alone to cultivate.

He wore the Ice Divine Jade against his body.

He sat in a lotus position on the Ice Silkworm Cushion.

A Fierce Divine Fragrance burned slowly.

The Spirit Qi in the Second Order Ascendant Grade Cave Mansion was so rich way that every wisp seemed desperate to enter his body.

Luo Chen held his breath and started to run the “Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra”.

After half a month of complete rest—save for practising the Five Viscera Health Preserving Fist and reading—he hadn’t done anything else.

Whether it was pill refinement, cultivation, or social interactions,

The warmth and jade-like comfort had been fully consumed.

His weary Divine Soul had been restored to its former state, and it even felt much stronger than before.

However, he could not determine how much stronger he had become.

With everything ready, it was time to devote himself to cultivation.

He wanted to know how much faster his cultivation speed could be improved in this fully upgraded cultivation environment.

On the Attribute Panel, the “Cultivation” column reads:

[Third Level Foundation Establishment 10/100]
