Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2828 - 1046

"Senior Sister, I've caused you some trouble."

Inside Chaixi Palace, Zhou Fuqiu presented a letter to Shi Miaoyin with a serious expression.

Shi Miaoyin accepted it, responding, "It's no trouble at all, just a small matter."

For her, this was indeed not a bothersome task.

Zhou Fuqiu's request was simply for his Senior Sister to deliver a letter to the Zhou Family and then escort his younger sister, Zhou Qingyu, to Tian Nan Dao Palace for cultivation practice and basic care.

Their Master had already granted Zhou Fuqiu's request, giving permission for his younger sister to join Houtu Hall.

The siblings would be able to reside together once more in the future.

Shi Miaoyin, unconcerned with such trivialities, inquired with a sigh, "Back when Master asked for your thoughts, why didn't you use the unstable realm after forming your Core as a reason to avoid going to the East Sea? Why did you agree so readily?"

Zhou Fuqiu answered placidly, "Since Master posed the question, it signified his intention. How could I possibly disobey him? Besides, is my realm truly unstable?"

Shi Miaoyin found herself momentarily speechless.

The disciples of Houtu Hall had come to witness something extraordinary.

It was Zhou Fuqiu, who had achieved Core Formation at the age of forty, yet displayed absolutely no signs of instability in his cultivation realm. Instead, his Qi Power was exceptionally pure and profound, akin to the deep sea, as if he had spent over a decade refining himself in seclusion.

This was truly beyond comprehension.

"Actually, I have a general understanding of Master's intentions."

"My cultivation speed has been remarkably swift, yet my realm remains exceptionally stable. While it appears perfect on the surface, there is a single area where I am lacking."

"I am too young, and my experiences are too few, leading to a deficiency in my mental state."

"Master worries that if I continue to advance at this pace, I might one day suffer a demonic deviation. Once that occurs, it will be incredibly difficult to recover. To avert any unforeseen circumstances, Master wishes for me to gain more life experience. Whether it's broadening my knowledge, tempering my mental state, or accumulating combat experience, all of it will greatly benefit my future."

Zhou Fuqiu articulated his thoughts clearly, expressing no dissatisfaction with Master Qing Lan's decision.

Upon witnessing his understanding, Shi Miaoyin ceased her attempts to dissuade him.

"I will instruct your Second Senior Brother and the other disciples to look after you, and you must also exercise caution."

"Mmm, thank you, Senior Sister."

After Shi Miaoyin departed, Zhou Fuqiu remained at the entrance of Chaixi Palace, his gaze distant and contemplative.

Upon his return, he might need to cultivate in a different location.

This new place would still be named Chaixi Palace according to his preference, but its Spirit Vein quality and the number of servants would far exceed his current accommodations. What Zhou Fuqiu truly desired was to find his younger sister at home when he finally returned.

"I am uncertain how long this journey will last; perhaps I should make some preparations!"

Zhou Fuqiu muttered to himself, returning to his sleeping quarters within the cultivation room.

He began by performing an Inner View, assessing his own condition.

It was just as before!

His Sea of Qi was deep, and his Golden Core rose and fell steadily.

Especially noteworthy was his pure black Golden Core, devoid of any impurities, clear and profound like the pupil of an ox's eye.

The Pure Mana contained within it even surprised Zhou Fuqiu himself.

During the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, his Spirit Power was comparable to those in the Early Stage of Golden Core. Upon reaching the Finalization Stage of Foundation Establishment, he felt that ordinary cultivators in the Middle Stage of Golden Core were no more potent than he was.

Now, having achieved Core Formation, the resulting Qi Power filled Zhou Fuqiu with an overwhelming sense of power, as if he could expand boundlessly.

With this immensely expansive and potent force, he felt capable of accomplishing anything!

His Divine Consciousness swirled around the Golden Core, and Zhou Fuqiu's mind became somewhat entranced, a nascent desire to sink with his Golden Core into the abyss-like Sea of Qi.

"Huh!"

With a sharp shout, Zhou Fuqiu abruptly snapped back to awareness.

A look of fear crossed his face.

His power had increased far too rapidly. If he did not exercise restraint, he could easily become lost within it, devolving into a mere beast driven solely by the pursuit of power.

"What we seek is Longevity, not merely power. Power is simply a tool to safeguard the path to Longevity. Master desires me to descend the mountain to gain experience so that I may learn to control this surge of power; surely, his intentions are benevolent!"

After a period of introspection, Zhou Fuqiu halted his cultivation.

Instead, he shifted his focus to external matters.

His combat style, owing to his rapid cultivation advancement and abundant Qi Power, had always revolved around sheer overwhelming force.

Furthermore, his mastery of techniques, stemming from extraordinary talent, had enabled him to acquire a multitude of Water-elemental techniques.

Yet, Zhou Fuqiu truly prided himself on the ancestral technique, "Qi Sea Floating Sky," which was his ultimate trump card.

This technique possessed not only the potential for growth but also an incredible inclusivity, like tranquil water, embracing all things without contention!

Originally, Zhou Fuqiu had refined a substantial amount of miasma from Bailu Marsh, imbuing "Qi Sea Floating Sky" with potent toxicity that could even threaten cultivators at the Early Golden Core Stage.

Subsequently, through persistent experimentation, he integrated various Lower Order spells into its fabric. Examples include the Water Arrow Technique, the Fog Concealment Technique, the Water Escape Technique, the Wave Stepping Technique, and the Glass Sky Canopy, among others.

During his half-year sojourn with his ancestor, the very creator of this profound technique, Zhou Fuqiu received invaluable guidance. His ancestor offered numerous suggestions, significantly aiding him in the further perfection of this technique.

As of the present, Zhou Fuqiu had advanced to the point where he could even incorporate certain Third-tier Water Magic spells.

These included potent abilities such as "Fog Locked Jade Tower" and "Spirit Communication and Form Retention."

Once "Qi Sea Floating Sky" was unleashed, Zhou Fuqiu could seamlessly and swiftly execute these Water Type Techniques. They not only harmonized without conflict but synergistically amplified their power.

This remarkable synergy perfectly embodied the technique's core principle of "encompassing all without contention."

Consequently, this singular technique consolidated a multitude of advantages, encompassing concealment, escape, defense, protection, suppression, blockade, combat, and offense.

Nevertheless, the technique was not without its drawbacks.

The sheer volume of Qi Power it demanded was as immense as the sea itself!

However, for Zhou Fuqiu, this particular drawback was virtually nonexistent. Throughout all the battles he had endured, he had never once experienced Qi exhaustion; he simply couldn't envision a scenario where his Qi Power would ever run dry.
