Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster - Chapter 2589 - 953: The Heavenly Master’s Scheme, Poisoned Wine to Quench Thirst

Chapter 2589: Chapter 953: The Heavenly Master’s Scheme, Poisoned Wine to Quench Thirst

“The Zombie Poison Gu, the parasitic Gu on the Flying Yaksha, contains the extreme zombie poison.”

“The Fallen Immortal Feather, the detached feather from the ninth head of the Ancient Ferocious Bird Ghost Car, when burnt, produces intense poison that can dissolve a cultivator’s Nascent Soul, also known as Nine-headed Poison.”

“The Mother and Child Gu, refined with nine hundred and ninety-nine drops of heart blood from mortal mothers and children, contains terrifying blood relative grievance poison.”

In the cave mansion, the returning Purple Robe Marquis spoke eloquently, giving Luo Chen a general introduction to the three Fourth Order Poisonous Gu entrusted to him.

After saying this, he stared at Luo Chen, wanting to see his reaction.

However, instead of the anticipated ecstatic joy, there was only a frown and silence.

Purple Robe Marquis was surprised and said, “Friend Qi, these rare Fourth Order Poisonous Gu are Master Li Tian’s personal treasures. Why do you show such indifference?”

Luo Chen slowly opened his mouth, “It’s not that Qi is indifferent; rather, they are too precious.”

Purple Robe Marquis was momentarily stunned, then smiled, “It’s fine. You can exchange them with whatever equivalent resources you have. Even if the quality is lacking, Master Li Tian said quantity could substitute.”

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, “Master Li Tian treats me with such generosity?”

These words carried an underlying tone of doubt and speculation.

After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

Yet the more Luo Chen expressed his doubts openly, the more relaxed Purple Robe Marquis became.

“Of course, Master Li Tian is reluctant to part with these three Poisonous Gu, but he clearly stated that with their aid, you’re sure to elevate the Hundred Poison King Gu to the Fourth Order, and your Body Refinement Stage will undergo a qualitative leap.”

“But times change, and ultimately a Fourth Order Poisonous Gu is still just that. What Master Li Tian desires is the Fifth-tier Gu Formula within the Yin Yang Residual Realm; compared to that, these are nothing.”

“Thus, your strength enhancement is more important to him!”

Yin Yang Residual Realm!

This was precisely the ancient secret realm mentioned by Master Li Tian before.

It’s rumored to appear only at the twilight boundary, when Yin and Yang blend, and has only been entered a few times over centuries.

According to those who have emerged, it is a place where a Great Power perished, very likely harboring a Fifth-tier Gu Formula.

But it’s filled with intricate traps and immense danger.

To acquire the great treasures, without astonishing abilities, one can’t get far at all.

For this reason, Master Li Tian had covertly assembled a formidable team just to explore the Yin Yang Residual Realm.

Within this ensemble, Luo Chen’s role is extremely crucial.

It is said there is a trial that only a pure Body Refiner can overcome.

Considering this requirement, his diligent attention to Luo Chen makes sense.

Moreover, they did not know each other beforehand, so there’s no ulterior motive against Luo Chen.

In silence, Luo Chen accepted the three Poisonous Gu, then took out a large pile of miscellaneous items from his storage bag.

High-Order Medicinal Materials, ores, magic items, and some Spirit Stones.

Purple Robe Marquis inspected them briefly, then showed a troubled expression.

“The things you’re offering, while not bad, don’t quite match the value of these three Poisonous Gu.”

Luo Chen waved his hand dismissively, “That’s all I have. If I had something better, I, a solitary person, would have used it long ago, wouldn’t still have it now. Purple Robe Marquis, you are merely passing them on, after all; you have little stake in the outcome. Why bother calculating so meticulously?”

Purple Robe Marquis was stunned.

“Just take it back; Master Li Tian won’t mind.” Luo Chen said again.

Purple Robe Marquis gave a wry smile, waved his sleeve, and the pile of precious items, valuable to lower order cultivators, was quickly swallowed into a storage bag.

“I must have overthought it. I shall take my leave now, please!”

“Please!”

Luo Chen spread his hands and escorted him out of the cave mansion.

After the figure of Purple Robe Marquis disappeared, Luo Chen turned his attention back to the three Poisonous Gu.

He narrowed his eyes, continually calculating in his mind.

“Master Li Tian is indeed the creator of the ’Hundred Poison Body Refining Technique’ and the Hundred Poison King Gu, predicting even the issues I encountered.”

“With these three Poisonous Gu assisting, I’m indeed confident in elevating the Hundred Poison King Gu to the Fourth Order in a short time, thoroughly breaking the bottleneck.”

“The research on the natural space prohibition is almost complete, and all subsequent time can be devoted to body refinement.”

…

Time passed slowly.

It had been almost half a year since Luo Chen arrived at Mi Realm Mountain.

And his cultivation progress had reached the most critical stage.

The Zombie Poison Gu has been completely refined.

The Hundred Poison King Gu devoured it, releasing several times its amount of zombie poison, permeating Luo Chen’s entire body.

A large quantity of flesh rapidly transformed into an indestructible zombie body under the terrible zombie poison.

If this continued, Luo Chen might tread the path of a ghost creature body refinement like the Flying Yaksha.

But with the deep foundation of his physical body, a continuous stream of vitality destroyed the zombified flesh, reorganizing it into his vibrantly living body.

Then came the Fallen Immortal Feather, also known as Nine-headed Poison!

Strands of spirit light, white as feathers, enveloped Luo Chen from head to toe.

If the host who ingests this poison has a Nascent Soul, it would surely collapse, Qi Power disappearing.

Master Li Tian never expected Luo Chen to possess a Nascent Soul, assuming him to be purely a Body Refiner, as Purple Robe Marquis mentioned Luo Chen planned to shift to cultivation of Spirit Refinement Qi Transformation only later.

Luo Chen had his own method to deal with this potential crisis.

The strong Purple Mansion Barrier and the two Shenhuo contained within were enough to protect the Nascent Soul from this poison.

Just allowing the Hundred Poison King Gu to devour it, transforming it into Nine-headed Poison, refining his body.
