Chapter 53 - Chapter 52: Alchemy Conference

[The Alchemy Conference.]

[It is a meeting held by the entire alchemist forces of the Xuantian Realm in the Alchemy Dao Sect of the Western Wasteland, where the younger generation can compete and learn from each other.]

[There are many benefits for the winner, and one of them is that the first ranker will get a chance to subdue an ancestral flame that has never been suppressed by anyone and is sealed in the Alchemy Dao Sect.]

[The reason you learned about this is because such a matter cannot be hidden from the major forces of the Xuantian Realm, and being the direct disciple of the Holy Lord allowed you to know it.]

[Just from its description, you already know that this must be the opportunity of Feng Chen, and with him possessing a grandfather as his golden finger, it indicates an incredible talent for alchemy.]

[For this reason, you did not slack off even a bit and put all your efforts into turning your theoretical alchemy knowledge into practical skills.]

[While refining pills, you also focused on familiarizing yourself with the Five Elemental Dragon Spirit Body.]

[Now you know, after condensing the Five Elemental Dragon Spirit Body, your affinity with the five elements increased by more than three times, and your stamina has reached an unprecedented height. Because of this, you don't have to fear an extended fight, and even your combat power has increased by two times.]

[Considering the foundation you currently have, it is already a blessing to increase your combat power twofold, and it is considered a huge leap in strength.]

[But after condensing the physique, you often felt the sudden urge to be intimate with the opposite gender.]

[This is the disadvantage of the Five Elemental Dragon Spirit Body, but it is still within your control.]

[However, you still don't know whether your current talent has been upgraded to gold-level or not.]

[Soon, you put aside this matter and began preparing for your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.]

[Because the limit of the Secret Realm of Five Elements is below Nascent Soul, you had suppressed your realm to the peak of the Golden Elixir realm for a long time just to enter it.]

[But this matter is over now, and you can begin your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.]

[You know, after comprehending the Five Elements Sutra to the Origin level, you directly comprehended the Five Elements to the Law level, and without needing to merge it yourself, you directly merged and comprehended the Law of Five Elements.]

[Soon, you consumed the Yin-Yang Law Source prepared in the previous simulation and began your breakthrough.]

[In the 70th year, you survived the tribulation with some serious but non-fatal injuries, and broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.]

[In the 73rd year, you arrived at the Alchemy Dao Sect and met many old alchemists and geniuses, even Feng Chen.]

[Soon, the Treasure Land of Alchemy opened, and all those people of the younger generation entered it, including you.]

[After entering the Treasure Land, the only thing you saw was herbs—rare and valuable herbs.]

[You were given a month to explore this Treasure Land, and after a month, you would have to refine the best pill possible with the resources you collected.]

[Soon, a month passed, and suddenly you appeared in a void space. You heard a voice in your mind, and with it, words appeared in front of you.]

▪︎Use the resources collected during this time and refine the best pill you can.

▪︎Outside resources cannot be used.

▪︎You are given one month of time.

[When you heard that outside resources cannot be used, you thought they must have broadcasted everyone's status and taken account of the resources collected. So, you couldn't use already-stored resources.]

[Soon, you started refining a 7th-Level Elixir called the Longevity Elixir.]

[It is an elixir that can even increase the lifespan of Immortal realm cultivators.]

[And the higher the grade, the better the effect. It can only be consumed three times in a lifetime.]

[A month later, you successfully refined a pill of Daowen Grade with seven elixir patterns.]

[Its value is immense, even in the eyes of those old monsters.]

[Consuming it can grant up to 80,000 years of lifespan to Immortals—a huge amount—but for you, it is only half of your current lifespan.]

[Your current lifespan after condensing the Supreme Foundation of Nascent Soul has reached a terrifying 150,000 years.]

[After successfully refining the pill, you found that a 3D box had appeared in front of you. You placed your pill inside, and soon it disappeared.]

[You knew the box that appeared just now was called the Examining Space. Within it, the test of quality, quantity, and grade of the pill would be conducted, and the person with the most points would win.]

[You left this void space and returned to the outside world.]

[Soon, a few days later, the results were announced. You received 1st rank, and Feng Chen was just behind you in 2nd rank.]

[Later, you were invited by the officials of the Alchemy Dao Sect to receive your rewards.]

[After arriving at the place, you saw a crowd of a hundred people, who just like you had made it into the Top 100 and were called to receive their rewards.]

[After the distribution of the Top 100 rewards, everyone else left, while you, Feng Chen, and another person were called to a different place.]

[While traveling, you learned where you were being taken. It was called the Inheritance Space.]

[In it, all the recipes from past to present, invented by the alchemists of the Xuantian Realm, were stored in a stele. What you could comprehend from it depended entirely on your own talent.]

[The three of you entered the space and arrived at the stele. You received the first chance to comprehend.]

[You placed your hand on the stele and suddenly felt a force probing your mind as you explored the entire Inheritance Stele.]

[Soon, your heart calmed, and you comprehended all the 9th-level recipes stored within, even some 10th-level recipes.]

[But this was your limit. You knew there existed many higher-level recipes, but you were helpless regarding your talent and could only comprehend them in future simulations.]

[Now, it was Feng Chen's turn. About the outcome, you didn't even need to think.]

[You left the space, as there was nothing to gain from waiting—whatever others comprehended remained in their own minds.]

[Soon, you were taken to the place you were most excited to visit.]

[It was a small world created by a powerful figure. It resembled a secret realm, but unlike those realms, there were no opportunities hidden within.]

[You entered the small world and saw—]

[A crimson dragon bound by chains, relentlessly struggling to break free. Around it, many people were working desperately to sustain the cracks.]

[This was the Crimson Dragon Flame, created from the will of a dying dragon who was betrayed by its own kind. Over time, its thirst for revenge grew stronger and stronger.]

[But this was no problem for you. While others tried to bind its fury, you approached it and began performing the Great Burning Heaven Technique.]

[As time passed, the flame's relentless struggle gradually calmed, and its massive body shrank smaller and smaller until it finally condensed into a flame, shocking many members of the Alchemy Dao Sect.]

[Three years later, in the 73rd year of simulation, you completely refined this Crimson Dragon Flame and suppressed it within your body, further strengthening yourself.]

[During these years, you also joined the Alchemy Dao Sect, and the Five Elemental Holy Land had no problem with you joining them.]

[Because this is how the Alchemy Dao Sect has managed to survive despite lacking combat strength. They form alliances with geniuses from many major forces. Sometimes, when they discover someone with strong cultivation talent, they invest in them and help them grow into a powerhouse.]

[This is how they have survived, and the other major forces have no objections to this practice.]

[In the 74th year, you returned to the Five Elemental Holy Land with all the glory you had earned.]

[After returning, you began comprehending Spear Intent and occasionally visited the Southern Deep Forest to cultivate your Myriad Poison Arts.]

[Yes, you could passively hunt monsters in the Southern region.]

[In the 106th year, on your way to the Southern Deep Forest, you were traveling through a barren forest when you suddenly heard a call: "Brother Lin, please wait."]
