Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 3069 - 1151: Kneeling Submission, Mighty Power Bestowed_2

However, the move to suppress Chu Zhaonan and the other four displayed exquisite technique.

The finalization of Immortal’s Return to Peng Ying, several strands of finger strength erupted, and spiral technique was added, forcefully breaking the Gang Qi protective shield.

Not only that, Luo Chen immediately comprehended methods similar to Granny Yu’s vigorous Qi silk from a cursory read of the book "Thousand Gangs and Hundred Transitions" and put them into practice.

Various such elements are highlights of Luo Chen’s exceptional perception and battle skills honed through countless trials.

Meanwhile, through these splendid martial techniques, he glimpsed the vast profundity of the path of martial arts body refinement!

Should he continue on this path, future achievements would not necessarily be inferior to cultivating immortality and refining Qi!

At that time, leaving this place would no longer be a delusion.

"Next, I’ll just wait for Xiao Feng to deliver the resources I need one by one."

Thinking like this, Luo Chen had already arrived near the Luo Mansion.

Jing Lan was standing at the door, waiting for him with a smile.

"Brother Luo, you’re back!"

"Yes, why are you so early today, isn’t it busy at Renji Hall?"

"Renji Hall is an old establishment, and after getting familiar with the business operations, naturally it’s not as busy as when it first opened. Brother Luo, are you hungry? I’ve learned some new recipes from others and made them."

"Alright, then let’s give them a try!"

...

The next day, Xiao Feng’s people had already delivered part of the items that Luo Chen specifically requested.

A secret technique of breaking the realm called "Hundred Flaws Skill" and a cultivation journal personally written by Xiao Feng’s father.

Luo Chen first looked at the cultivation journal.

As a renowned martial enthusiast of the Seventy-two Cities, Xiao Feng’s father had deep research on the path of martial arts.

This cultivation journal not only recorded insights related to breaking the realm but also contained complete insights into the Furnace Realm cultivation.

Luo Chen spent a day carefully studying, while also cross-referencing and verifying with Wang Yuan’s records in "Divine Firmness Fighting Qi."

Gradually, he gained a full impression of Furnace Realm cultivation.

Furnace Realm, the third realm of body refinement, seemingly corresponds to the Golden Core Period in Qi refinement, yet their cultivation fundamentally differs beyond mere energy accumulation.

Golden Core Period Cultivation, with emphasis on the external!

This may sound contradictory, as the integration of essence, Qi, and spirit is indeed internal cultivation.

But having experienced the complete Qi refining system, Luo Chen wouldn’t view it so one-sidedly.

Qi Refinement and Spirit Refining, with emphasis on the divine soul path.

Foundation Establishment Stage for the divine soul externalizes, forming Spirit Consciousness. Golden Core Period forms Divine Consciousness, searching the universe with omniscience—these are transformations after strengthening the divine soul.

And during the Golden Core Period, there’s a very important aspect: refining one’s Natal Magic Item.

In that process, if conditions permit, any Golden Core Cultivator would attempt to melt some thunder attribute materials into their Natal Magic Item.

For example, the Thunder Jade Luo Chen valued most previously!

This item not only enhances the quality of Natal Magic Item but also, during daily nurturing, allows the divine consciousness initially inclined towards Yin attribute to gradually shift towards Yang attribute due to the pure and formidable lightning infusion.

Thus, the term "Yin Soul Turns into Yang Spirit" in the Divinity Transformation Realm arises.

But Furnace Realm cultivation, in comparison, is ridiculously extreme internally!

With Gang Qi, transformed from Qi-Blood, constantly tempering the acupoints opened during the Blood River Realm to reach ease in opening and closing.

Once all acupoints are fully quenched, one’s essence and Qi can be completely locked within, not leaking a bit.

Hence, after Furnace Realm’s perfection, the next realm was aptly named Leakless Realm.

Understanding these two cultivation distinctions, Luo Chen’s thoughts began to diverge.

Qi Refinement... Body Refinement...

The Path of Qi Refinement starts by refining Spirit Qi into the body, then step-by-step cultivation upwards. Essentially, it’s the Immortal Cultivator’s exploration of the universe.

In this process, the higher the realm, the less important the physical body becomes.

As long as the divine soul exists, it can continue thriving alongside heaven and earth.

Driving Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi with Qi Power, comprehending the Law’s True Intent, assuming the authority of the Great Dao Path.

Yet the path of body refinement, starting from Furnace Realm, began a starkly opposed route.

The Body Becomes Dan, swallowing everything from heaven and earth, the great power returns to oneself.

Within this process, everything absorbed can’t even afford to return a small part back to the universe.

At the extreme height, the martial artist’s physical body essentially becomes its universe, and the martial artist’s consciousness becomes the Heavenly Dao!

"Comparing the two, Qi Refining Immortal Cultivation is following the heavens, governing the Great Dao. Cultivating Martial Arts embodies opposing heaven, absorbing great power."

"For the universe, the latter’s enormous threat explains why orthodox body refining paths have gradually declined."

"Yet, within this resource-lacking Great Destruction Realm, martial arts and body refinement have instead become mainstream?"

"Is it due to lack of Spirit Qi, or is this universe itself somewhat special?"

Luo Chen had already set the book aside.

Yet the confusion on his face deepened increasingly.

The more comprehended he becomes, ironically, the less he can discern the world’s universe’s essence.

Luo Chen didn’t know whether others would experience such confusion, but he knew this kind of "confusion" can exist, yet must not persist indefinitely, lest it affects the Dao Heart.

Ultimately, all answers must rest upon practice!

Luo Chen readjusted his mindset and started studying "Hundred Flaws Skill" again.

This is the secret technique Tie Xiong relied upon to breakthrough to Leakless Realm.

But after a rough read, Luo Chen found himself unimpressed.

To breakthrough from Furnace Realm to Leakless Realm requires two aspects.

One is to accumulate enough energy, known as Gang Qi.

The other is to temper all body acupoints to reach a state of free opening and closing.

As easy as it sounds, in reality, Gang Qi is domineering and ferocious, while acupoints are far more fragile compared to the coarse meridians, especially those critical acupoints involving the head, heart, and even lower body.

One careless act may lead to failure in previous efforts or even cause demise with the vanishing of one’s pursuit.

The function of "Hundred Flaws Skill" lies in forcibly sealing troublesome acupoints for an alternative version of "leakless."

As a result, they can be closed but not reopened.

In the circulation of Gang Qi, blockage occurs, thus introducing leakage in what is called leakless to peers.

Luo Chen may not be in the Leakless Realm, but his keen vision and Qi Sensing Technique can discern leaks.

At Wave Watching Pavilion, Tie Xiong couldn’t withstand Luo Chen’s full-force assault due to flaws in his Leakless Golden Body.

Understanding all this, Luo Chen naturally overlooked this secret technique.

He preferred spending time on high-order martial techniques like "Bending Flower Finger," "Heaven and Earth Reversal."

Moreover, the book "Thousand Gangs and Hundred Transitions" documented various marvelous applications of Gang Qi, significantly aiding in subsequent acupoint tempering, making Luo Chen feel a need for further thorough study even after one reading.

Apart from these texts.

Xiao Feng delivered a wide range of resources Luo Chen needed for martial arts practice.

Food!

Indeed, copious food resources.

Various meats filled with exuberant Qi-Blood and Dragon Tooth Rice only enjoyed by strong cultivators in Furnace Realm and beyond.

Such items are the best reserve resources for martial artists incapable of refining Heaven and Earth Qi.

Luo Chen wasn’t worried about being unable to digest them.

Not only is his physical body powerful, the recently condensed Qi Blood Furnace alone is enough to refine it all.

Xiao Feng wasn’t stingy; this first batch of provisions he sent was incredibly valuable, far surpassing what Luo Chen previously received as a Guest Elder a hundredfold!

It seemed to be a significant effort on his part.

Luo Chen cared little for what Xiao Feng thought and indulged in them, refining out more Qi-Blood and converting it to more Gang Qi.

Half a month later.

Xiao Feng’s side sent the second batch of resources requested by Luo Chen.

Full of large vats!

Sealed tightly, as if containing dangerous items.

In truth, to mortals and even low-level martial artists, these items indeed are dangerous.

In front of Chu Zhaonan, Luo Chen opened a large vat.

Immediately, a potent evil aura emerged.

"Watch out!"

Chu Zhaonan reminded.

Luo Chen remained indifferent, drawing a circle with his finger, easily encircling the sinister aura around his finger.

This scene astonished Chu Zhaonan.

Luo Chen smiled faintly, eyes resting on the familiar dark aura at his fingertip.

This thing was not unfamiliar to him.

"Evil Qi!"
