Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2252: Chapter 826: Where to Seek the Law’s True Intent, Pursuing the Dao with an Iron Heart Even unto Death

“Apologies, this is the first time I’ve heard about it today, it was Elder Lu who introduced it to me.”

Deng Taiyue was somewhat incredulous, “You are the renowned Alchemy Sect, how could you not know about it…”

Luo Chen said slowly, “Let me inform you, friend, before forming my Nascent Soul, I was always wandering in the North Sea. Regarding these pseudo Fifth-Order Divine Pills in the Eastern Wasteland, I truly have no understanding.”

Deng Taiyue opened his mouth, an uncontrollable expression of disappointment appeared on his face.

Luo Chen asked curiously, “I observe that your realm is extraordinary, reaching the high level of the Sixth Layer of Nascent Soul! Instead of striving to break through to the Seventh Level of Nascent Soul to achieve the realm of a Great Cultivator, why are you so fixated on this Ti Hu Pill?”

Deng Taiyue sighed and revealed his family’s secret.

“To be honest, I was exceptionally gifted since childhood, possessing an Earth Element Heavenly Spirit Root, and was heavily favored by the elders of the Taishan Sect, so my cultivation speed was rapid. Until the Nascent Soul stage, I never encountered any bottlenecks.”

“But after advancing to Nascent Soul, my cultivation speed slowed down completely.”

Luo Chen nodded slightly, “It’s because the Purple Mansion barrier is too thin, isn’t it?”

“Yes.” Deng Taiyue also nodded, “The drawback of the Heavenly Spirit Root starts to manifest in the Nascent Soul stage. The Purple Mansion barrier is too thin, making it easily assimilated by heaven and earth, so we Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators cannot cultivate as quickly as before.”

“But what does this have to do with the Ti Hu Pill?” Luo Chen was curious.

Deng Taiyue hesitated for a moment, but still told Luo Chen the answer.

“After becoming the Sect Master of the Taishan Sect, I investigated the sect’s records and found that if one could understand the true intent of the Law in advance, it might accelerate the cultivation speed.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Is there such a notion?”

Deng Taiyue was serious, “Indeed there is such a notion. The sect records state that the most basic true intent of the Law is connected to the primordial Qi of heaven and earth. If we can comprehend a bit of it, our Qi Refinement speed can naturally be enhanced by the infusion of heaven and earth primordial Qi, greatly increasing it.”

He smiled as he spoke.

“The method of cultivating true intent that Elder Lu mentioned earlier, when implemented, corresponds exactly with what is described in our sect’s ancient texts. Of course, there are some reservations; communicating with heaven and earth primordial Qi through true intent is the method of Divine Transformation Great Powers, fraught with significant risks, far from being as simple as he claimed.”

Deng Taiyue did not say what the risks were, perhaps he himself was not clear.

However, Luo Chen understood after listening, no wonder those prodigies from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, who have just entered Nascent Soul at the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, are so desperate, while their families are also exerting various efforts from behind.

Once the fundamental true intent of the Law is understood, it can accelerate the cultivation speed, which is undoubtedly the greatest temptation for Nascent Soul cultivators!

“Since I stepped into the Middle Stage Nascent Soul, my cultivation speed has slowed again, I simply cannot tolerate it, so I began to seek shortcuts.”

“Comprehending the true intent of the Law is what I dream of!”

“Not to brag, but when it comes to comprehension, I’m not lacking. During an adventure, when I released my Nascent Soul to cultivate in a Spirit Land, I indeed found a bit of that feeling. But unfortunately…”

“Since then, I’ve never found that feeling again. So, I was fixated on the Ti Hu Pill.”

Beside him, Deng Taiyue continued narrating in detail.

Luo Chen suddenly interrupted him, “Then why not continue to seek the help of Mr. Yao? He was once as renowned as the Alchemy Emperor of the Medicine King Sect, his Pill Refinement Technique should be formidable.”

To this, Deng Taiyue’s face showed an expression of indignation.

“This person was too perfunctory; in a hundred years, there was no progress in his research. Instead, he drove me deep into the Million Mountains to explore various Spirit Medicines for him, under the pretext of experimenting with the Ti Hu Pill. But in my view, he was more likely using those Exotic Flowers and Herbs to augment the foundation of the Seven Cave Mountain.”

For some reason, Luo Chen felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this.

Have I also done something similar?

After a light cough, Luo Chen asked again, “Then why come to me?”

Deng Taiyue’s expression became solemn, “Before coming here, I also investigated your life stories. The title of Alchemy Sect signifies your pill refinement skills, while your reputation carries a gentleman’s style.”

“I believe Mr. Yao is not trustworthy, the Alchemy Sect with a gentlemanly demeanor is more worthy of trust!”

Having made it to this point, what more is there to say?

Luo Chen modestly waved his hand, “I am not as good as you say, my Pill Refinement Technique is only a bit knowledgeable. However, if you truly trust me, you can give me the fragmented recipe to study, but I cannot guarantee when results can be achieved.”

Upon receiving a promise, even if there were ample caveats in it, Deng Taiyue ultimately sighed with relief.

He solemnly took out a large pile of things from his Storage Bag.

Beast Skin, ancient texts, Bamboo Slips, and even Jade Slips, stone slabs.

Under Luo Chen’s confusion, he introduced them, “These are all various fragmented recipes of the Ti Hu Pill scattered around the Eastern Wasteland, which I painstakingly collected. According to Mr. Yao, altogether they are only about fifty to sixty percent complete.”

“Additionally, in this Jade Slip, it records some Spirit Medicines that Mr. Yao specifically asked me to collect for the research of the Ti Hu Pill over the years. I am not sure if they are truly useful, but you can reference them, Alchemy Sect.”

Luo Chen nodded and began to carefully organize these fragmented recipes.

While organizing, he casually asked:

“Though these are recorded versions, they all seem quite aged, almost like the original fragments. Didn’t you hand them to Mr. Yao back then?”

“What I gave him were my personally copied versions, I kept the originals without handing them over.”

“Oh, then why are you willing to give them to me this time?”

“If this attempt fails as well, then in the vast Eastern Wasteland, I, Deng, have no one else to turn to. In that case, what meaning is there in keeping these things? At that time, I will no longer seek shortcuts from external means, and will abandon all fantasies, enter the Forbidden Area of Taishan Sect, and shut myself in seclusion until death!”

Luo Chen raised his head and was confronted with a face of resolute determination, eyes as steadfast as iron.

Is this what it means to be a Dao Seeker?

Luo Chen pursed his lips, and after organizing all the items, he carefully put them away.

“I will do my best!”
