Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2732 - 1009: One Hundred Thousand Ghost Cultivators Aid Cultivation, Moonlight Clear Heart Forms Primordial Spirit
Previously on Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster...
Luo Chen is fully aware that the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land harbors spiritual mechanisms.
Back when the Alchemy Saint Hall first opened, he confirmed this personally by practicing the Refining Heaven Machine pill technique right there in the Blessed Land.
The amount may be much smaller compared to the outer world's abundance, yet it suffices amply for elixir refining.
Right now, as Luo Chen activated the Refining Heaven Machine, a faint quiver shook the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land, sending a thread of foggy spiritual mechanism drifting in.
His Red Eyes Golden Pupils, shining ever brighter from ongoing cultivation, allowed Luo Chen to perceive it with perfect clarity.
"Rumor has it Divine Transformation cultivators must train in spirit qi-abundant spots to hunt for spiritual mechanisms, grasp the profound laws’ true meanings, forge dharma images, and wander the primordial energy sea. What if they commanded wondrous pill arts like the Refining Heaven Machine—could they then cultivate freely, unbound by Fifth Order spirit vein realms?"
Such an idea flickered in his thoughts, before Luo Chen refocused on the pill refining at hand.
The strand of spiritual mechanism silently blended into the Primordial Chaos Tripod.
Once this spiritual mechanism fused in, the wildly churning medicinal liquid began condensing swiftly.
While monitoring the Ti Hu Pill's formation, Luo Chen multitasked by scrutinizing the shifts within the Primordial Chaos Tripod.
The Ti Hu Pill shaped up flawlessly, as though the medicinal liquid harmonized naturally with the spiritual mechanism, accelerating the process notably.
As for the Primordial Chaos Tripod... all appeared utterly normal!
Luo Chen knitted his brows in confusion, staying alert nonetheless.
Yet even after three days, with a potent pill scent leaking from the tripod, he noticed zero anomalies.
Down below, the observing disciples caught the wafting pill aroma and focused intently with eager expectation.
Luo Chen didn't leave them hanging for long.
Employing his special pill-retrieval method, he finalized the procedure.
Streams of light shot out from the tripod one by one.
One, two, three... up to the fifth, and then it was spent.
Qu Lingjun, clutching a jade plate below, heard a crisp ding-dong and spotted five radiant yellow-golden pills resting peacefully inside.
"It's done?"
He whispered in astonishment, "Success on the first attempt?"
This feat instantly ignited the on-site excitement.
Countless found it hard to accept, despite their role in perfecting the Ti Hu Pill formula—they simply couldn't fathom a one-shot success.
They figured even the living Alchemy Saint Chu Yan couldn't pull it off so effortlessly!
But the Supreme Elder casually produced five pills.
Luo Chen applied a Cleaning Technique, gently rinsing the Primordial Chaos Tripod.
Amid the crowd's burning gazes, he smiled softly and shook his head.
"Just a touch of fortune, nailing it first time."
"However, the formed pills' efficacy remains unsteady. For safe consumption, they need years of nurturing in spirit qi-rich environs to fully stabilize their power."
His explanation did little to dim the disciples' awe.
Unfazed, Luo Chen geared up for a second round of Ti Hu Pill refining.
Leveraging Luo Tian Sect's stockpile, augmented by Deng Taiyue's lifelong gathering, ample Ti Hu Pill ingredients were on hand.
Hoarding them served no purpose, so he aimed to capitalize on the momentum and refine them all at once!
Regrettably, later attempts ended in failure.
The second batch progressed smoothly initially, but the medicinal liquid crumbled upon spiritual mechanism infusion, reduced to ash by the True Fire as he watched helplessly.
The third batch, the fourth—identical results.
Three straight flops at the exact stage tested even Luo Chen's unyielding resolve.
The disciples voiced no gripes, impressed by the Supreme Elder's rock-solid refining skills, every phase executed flawlessly.
Though ultimate success eluded him, it felt like mere chance stood in the way.
Paying no heed to their views, Luo Chen plunged into each new refinement attempt.
Slowly, enlightenment dawned on Luo Chen.
The problem likely lay not in the pill formula or elixir fluids, but in the Refining Heaven Machine technique.
Channeling the spiritual mechanism demands syncing one's mind with heaven and earth's laws. His divided focus on watching the Primordial Chaos Tripod caused him to miss prime integration windows.
Indeed, the initial success was nothing but sheer luck!
Luo Chen ceased scrutinizing the Primordial Chaos Tripod, immersing himself completely in the art of pill refinement.
Although the fifth attempt ended in failure as well, the subsequent seven trials produced two triumphs!
As Qu Lingjun eagerly displayed the jade plate, Luo Chen gazed upon the fifteen gleaming golden pills, a touch bewildered.
The available materials permitted exactly twelve refinements altogether.
Yet, three successes had been achieved!
This remarkable success rate greatly surpassed that of entry-level proficiency.
To put it another way, he had defied the standard constraints of the proficiency panel.
Events like this had occurred in the past, though rarely granting more than a single extra success.
Now, it amounted to three!
"Could it be the superior quality from my Great Grandmaster level pill refinement skill, or perhaps the influence of the Primordial Chaos Tripod?"
Luo Chen gently rubbed one golden pill; he couldn't determine its precise grade yet, but all fifteen reached at least the Fourth Order Level.
With a heavy exhale of turbid air, he declared, "Have them nurtured at Divine Peak! Min Longyu has arranged the finest Gathering Spirit Array there and will oversee this batch of Ti Hu Pills personally."
"Yes, Master!"
Qu Lingjun bowed with deep respect, after which he and the exhausted disciples slowly withdrew.
