Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster - Chapter 2446 - 899: Divine Writing, Success in One Go

Chapter 2446: Chapter 899: Divine Writing, Success in One Go

Whoosh!

In the void, a large sleeve swept across.

However, the touch was still empty.

Luo Chen slowly withdrew his hand, his eyes emitting a golden light.

“Is it illusion again?”

But soon, he realized that those entities radiating a strong white light were not illusions, but truly existed.

However, if he tried to subdue them by brute force, they would become slippery and difficult to touch.

“It seems that using brute force to retrieve these protected elixirs is impossible.”

With his eyes that could see through illusions, he had already discerned that these white lights were actually elixir pills.

Just like the “Alchemy Scriptures” in the side hall earlier, they were derived from the same illusion technique.

As of now, forcibly retrieving them was impossible; only by truly recognizing the corresponding elixir could he truly grasp it.

Luo Chen restrained his restless thoughts and cast his gaze on the four other people not far away.

At first, they were also somewhat surprised by the specifics of this trial’s exam questions.

But seemingly having experienced similar situations before, they quickly stabilized after the initial panic.

Each began to display their divine powers!

Chen Mozi took out a gourd, pouring some unknown liquid from it and dripping it onto his nose.

Xinyi Sheng emitted a brilliant red light, intermingling with the white light splendidly.

Lu Chun formed a Daoist Technique, sitting cross-legged in the void.

Chu Yu was the simplest, merely wearing a white veil, seemingly able to filter out the other distracting Pill Qi.

And under their efforts, progress gradually emerged.

Lu Chun’s face lit up with joy as he awoke from his meditative state, writing down the name of an elixir on the desk before him.

Whoosh!

As the elixir name appeared, a streak of white light rushed toward him, finally landing on the Jade Plate.

This signified that he succeeded once!

Lu Chun walked ahead, feeling immensely proud.

Scanning the surroundings, he met Luo Chen’s attentive gaze and instinctively obscured the First Order pill on his Jade Plate.

Luo Chen laughed freely and turned away, ceasing to look closely.

In fact, there was a special arrangement here, making it impossible to discern the elixir others had acquired with the naked eye.

After the laugh, Luo Chen fell into contemplation.

Smelling the fragrance is a compulsory skill for any Pill Refiner.

Many times, identifying the quality of an elixir relies not only on features like the Cloud Pattern appearance, taste, even texture and feel—these tangible methods.

Pill Fragrance, or Pill Qi, is also a very significant aspect.

For experienced Pill Refiners, sometimes they don’t even need to look; just a light smell can identify the type of elixir, its potency, and its quality.

Even though Luo Chen came from a less traditional background, he was quite skilled in this area.

The kind of pill he refined in his early years was called the Blood Evil Qi Pill.

Once formed, its fragrance was burnt and sticky.

For other orthodox elixirs, they might think it failed.

But for the Blood Evil Qi Pill, that fragrance was actually a sign of success.

Luo Chen confirmed his success back then by relying on that burnt fragrance.

But what truly showcased Luo Chen’s skill in this area wasn’t merely the fragrance of a specific elixir, but a technique.

Cleaning Technique!

In his early years, to prevent enemies from tracing him through his lingering breath, Luo Chen practiced the Cleaning Technique to the Great Perfection Level.

Every time he finished Pill Refinement, he would subconsciously use it to remove his breath.

The casting process was not just about eliminating all breaths but rather accurately recognizing the residual Pill Qi from the refined elixirs among the mixed breath and precisely removing it.

After three hundred years, Luo Chen had refined enough elixirs to identify their types simply by smell.

His gaze swept across the hall filled with chaotic white light, his brows slightly furrowing.

If the scope of recognizing elixirs was limited to those he had refined, this question would not be intimidating.

But here, the number of white lights was not just thousands?

To accurately identify a hundred kinds of elixirs here, without a single mistake, was truly challenging…

“Scope?”

Luo Chen suddenly realized that the “Alchemy Scriptures” he read in the side hall of the Alchemy Saint Hall encompassed all the elixir pills involved in this trial!

“The scope of this exam question is too broad; acting rashly may seem to put me ahead of others, but actually places me at a disadvantage.”

“A single careless mistake would render all prior efforts in vain.”

“Only with absolute certainty can one proceed!”

Luo Chen took a deep breath and, like Lu Chun, sat cross-legged in the void.

His Divine Consciousness emanated, enveloping the endless white light.

With a gentle sniff of his nose, he meticulously identified each passing white light.

The most crucial aspect was comparing these Pill Fragrances with the memories from reading the Alchemy Scriptures earlier.

Through repeated identifications, Luo Chen gradually realized that Alchemy Saint Chu Yan’s use of elixirs themselves to transform into the Alchemy Scriptures was not just a display of skill.

Some aspects of the Dao of Alchemy cannot be fully encompassed by words and descriptions alone.

The scent of pills, for instance, might be precisely described for one or two types, but what about ten kinds, a hundred kinds, or even thousands?

Descriptions eventually run out of words, and different elixirs might share similar descriptions.

What seems like a tiny discrepancy may actually lead to profound errors!

Only through specific smelling can a Pill Refiner have a concrete understanding.

Luo Chen had yet to make any notes, remaining seated in the hall.

His unique approach naturally attracted the attention of others.
