The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

Cui Yi felt a little uneasy under his gaze and coughed lightly, "Teacher, this pill... is it alright?"

Luo Chen's lips twitched slightly.

It's not just okay, it's absolutely amazing!

Luo Chen was deeply shocked, but on the surface he showed no sign of anything amiss: "Indeed, you are the most talented alchemist I have ever seen in my life."

"I'm just curious, how exactly did you do that?"

With Xi Yue's answer given in advance, Cui Yi's reply was simply reciting from the script.

"This disciple is born with a powerful spirit, so when refining pills, he can often detect subtle changes that ordinary people cannot perceive."

"As for the Danwen (a type of cinnabar pattern)... this disciple does not know the specific reason either."

"But every time I get to the most crucial point in the process, I get this strange feeling, like I can see the changes inside the pill, and then I subconsciously adjust it."

"And that's how it turned out."

Luo Chen stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming. The strength of an alchemist's talent was indeed related to their soul, and the soul was something one was born with.

While it is indeed rare to have a constitution naturally suited for alchemy, it does theoretically exist.

Moreover, some ancient books and secret manuals have mentioned that some people possess this physique, giving them a unique advantage in alchemy.

But that was just a legend; he had lived for over seven hundred years and had never seen it with his own eyes.

"Cui Yi, unleash your full power and let me experience it."

Luo Chen suddenly spoke, his tone quite solemn.

Cui Yi nodded, and as he closed his eyes, the mental power in his sea of ​​consciousness surged out like a tidal wave!

This time, he held nothing back!

Psychic power is a special power that surpasses the power of the soul. This invisible and intangible pressure instantly filled the entire alchemy room!

Luo Chen's expression completely changed!

This level of spiritual strength is something that even those in the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone the Core Formation stage or even some early-stage Golden Core stages, might not be able to achieve!

This kid is indeed a freak. No wonder refining pill patterns is as easy for him as eating and drinking!

"Okay, stop now."

Luo Chen's voice was a little dry. He took a deep breath and tried to make his expression return to normal.

"You little brat..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to swear, but found himself unable to utter a word.

With such talent, why criticize it?

Should we call him too monstrous?

"Taking you as my apprentice was truly the best decision I ever made..."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yi suddenly stepped forward and moved to Luo Chen's side, naturally starting to massage his shoulders.

This scene startled Luo Chen.

"Teacher, since you value me so much, may I make a small request?"

"No."

"Cough cough cough."

Luo Chen's refusal was so decisive that Cui Yi was at a loss for what to do.

But considering how difficult it was to obtain a sixth-grade spiritual herb, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Although my spiritual power is strong, it seems there is still room for improvement."

"Moreover, there is a kind of elixir that is very beneficial to the power of the soul."

"This disciple is searching for raw materials to refine the elixir, but unfortunately there has been no progress so far."

"Just now, I sensed a spiritual herb here that I need. Perhaps Master could reluctantly part with it?"

"How many spirit stones is this elixir worth? You can pay on credit!"

Seeing that Cui Yi was talking about something so mysterious, and even linking it to the strength of his own soul, Luo Chen's expression became full of amusement.

His refusal just now was just a joke with Cui Yi.

Luo Chen was, after all, a fifth-grade alchemist. What harm was there in giving Cui Yi a mere spiritual herb?

Which one do you want?

"Soul-nurturing wood."

"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."

Luo Chen choked on his own saliva and coughed awkwardly for a while.

A sixth-grade spiritual medicine?!

Even though he is an elder of the Pill Tower Association and a fifth-grade alchemist, he can only handle a handful of sixth-grade spiritual herbs!

Moreover, each sixth-grade spiritual herb is extremely valuable, a priceless treasure!

Regardless of price, if you were to auction off any sixth-grade spiritual herb, a thousand high-grade spirit stones would be considered a friendly price!

This kid really dares to ask for it...

Luo Chen suddenly wanted to take back what he had just said. A sixth-grade spiritual herb was not a trivial thing that could be given away casually.

That's all the wealth I've accumulated over the years!

"You're just a second- or third-grade alchemist, at most a third-grade alchemist. Are you trying to defy the heavens by asking for sixth-grade spiritual herbs?"

"Hehe, I just feel that with my talent, it won't be long before I'm able to refine sixth-grade pills, right?"

"It's always good to be prepared; prevention is better than cure!"

Cui Yi didn't exaggerate too much about this.

Cui Yuanhua's corpse is still being refined in the Floating Pagoda, but the difference in their cultivation levels is too great, so the refinement has not yet been completed.

Once the refining is complete, the lifespan increase it will bring will be enormous!

This was also the first time Cui Yi had refined a cultivator at the Golden Core stage.

At that time, if I cultivate the Divine Devouring Heaven Technique again, I don't know what level my mental power will break through to, and my spiritual strength will definitely increase by a large margin.

Refining a sixth-grade pill may seem like a distant dream, but given Cui Yi's ever-burning lifespan, it might only take him ten days to half a month.

"Kid, do you know how hard it was to obtain this Soul-Nourishing Wood?"

"At the time, there was a late-stage Core Formation demon beast guarding it. I risked my life to snatch it away."

Luo Chen said a few words with some emotion, then walked over to remove the restriction and took out an exquisite jade box from it.

As Luo Chen opened the box, a fragrance that penetrated straight to the soul instantly spread out, accompanied by an extremely rich vitality that wafted everywhere.

Cui Yi thought Luo Chen was saying these things to increase the value of the bargaining chips, but he never expected that after Luo Chen finished speaking, he would throw the jade box towards him.

"Take it."

"However, I have one condition."

Cui Yi solemnly accepted the document, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Please speak, teacher."

"Whatever you do, come back alive."

"If I can protect you, so can the Danta Association."

Luo Chen looked at Cui Yi with a rare hint of kindness in his eyes, "Although the Northern Territory is located in a cold region, the cultivators coming and going are the best spies for the Pill Tower Association."

"I already know about the Blood-Clad Sect."

"The reason I had you immerse yourself in alchemy as soon as you returned was because I was worried that the destruction of the Blood Robe Sect would have too much of an impact on you."

"But seeing that you haven't been too badly affected, I'm relieved."

"Consider this Soul-Nourishing Wood as my early graduation gift to you. I want to see the pills you refine with it."

"If you die before you can refine a sixth-grade pill..."

Luo Chen snorted: "Then you'll owe your master a sixth-grade spiritual herb. Remember to repay it in your next life!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yi felt a warmth in his heart.

The figure of Luo Chen in front of him unconsciously overlapped with the slightly lewd old face of Chi Gui.

It turns out that Luo Chen was worried that he would put himself in danger because he wanted to avenge the Blood Robe Sect!

Just this concern alone makes Luo Chen a very good teacher!

He had no merit or ability to have met two teachers in the cultivation world who were completely devoted to him!
