Luo Chen turned his head and found that Wang Yuan’s face was slightly pale, leaning on his shoulder, gasping for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Luo Chen’s confused gaze, he smiled reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The spiritual sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator truly has the power of heaven and man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen seemed to have thought of something, looking incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wang, you wouldn't be using your will to contend with the spiritual sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Refiners refine the spirit, body refiners refine the will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what Wang Yuan told Luo Chen in his spare time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only thought the other party had exaggerated the role of will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the scene just now brought him a huge shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-level cultivators, with a single thought of divine sense, can enter the blue sky or explore the nine netherworlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ancient body refiners also have a heart like iron, unbreakable will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Wang Yuan did before was clearly using the will he had tempered throughout his life to resist the spiritual sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was obvious; Mi Shuhua won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mi Shuhua was a genuine Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator, while Wang Yuan was only at Qi Refining Stage 8, same as himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the so-called physique was close to Foundation Establishment, it was only close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet room, a sound-insulation talisman was unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, his pale face gradually returning to ruddy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen sat quietly on the side, waiting for the other party to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time, Wang Yuan opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough, Foundation Establishment cultivators are not easy to deal with; Mi Shuhua just looked at me, which almost made me lose my mind. If I had bent my waist at that time, I’m afraid I would only be able to stop before Foundation Establishment for the rest of my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it that serious?\" Luo Chen couldn't help but say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan said seriously: \"A great man can bend and stretch, not losing the hero’s true character. But in the face of a real choice, one must stick to one’s original heart; otherwise, if the will is broken, that bent waist will never be able to straighten up for the rest of one’s life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words seemed to point to something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen was a bit unnatural; he belonged to the kind of person who could bend and stretch very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this life, it seemed he hadn't encountered anything that really made him \"choose\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that really happened, could he, like Wang Yuan, raise his head, straighten his waist, and face everything calmly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen didn't know the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic and jumped straight to the Blood-Burning Elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The pill testing results are out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After human cultivators take it, they won't lose their reason, just become more irritable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, other effects of the Blood-Burning Elixir are the same as your test on demon beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, the effect of catalyzing muscle essence and blood, producing a large amount of spiritual energy, and thus skyrocketing strength by thirty percent in a short time, still existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the sequelae should be about the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen was more concerned about another point, \"Time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half a stick of incense!\" Wang Yuan thought for a while, his brows slightly frowned: \"But it also depends on the realm. I caught a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator to experiment at the time. Perhaps his physique wasn't good enough; after he used a high-grade magic tool, the time shortened rapidly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, another Blood-Burning Elixir is still on me; I couldn't bear to use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then how did you conclude the time of half a stick of incense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen bared his teeth; without enough control groups, it was hard for him to determine the specific duration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan hesitated and tentatively said: \"Can it be refined in large quantities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen was curious, \"A few spare ones should be enough, why refine in large quantities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I might be able to try using this kind of pill to break through the realm at a critical moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen quickly reached out to stop him, \"This stuff is obviously a combat pill and is not suitable for cultivation; don't get any crooked ideas. At worst, I’ll think of some ways later to study that Blood Sha pill recipe more and deduce another kind of pill that can be used for cultivation for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan looked at Luo Chen deeply, his lips tightly pursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, he spat out a sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll trouble you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen shrugged; it was no trouble, just spending more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he really deduced it, the raw materials needed for alchemy would definitely be provided by Wang Yuan himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alchemist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s what they do; otherwise, where would such a high and noble status and such good popularity come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, Luo Chen still felt something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked strangely: \"Brother Wang, why do I feel like you seem very anxious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words left his mouth, Luo Chen became more certain of his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Wang Yuan was very anxious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former him, focused on cultivation, did dirty work for the Po Shan Gang, and did it for ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the past year, his personality had changed drastically, repeatedly grabbing attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was becoming famous in the Po Shan Gang, fighting on the Dao Discussion Platform, or solely controlling a hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things didn't seem to fit the Wang Yuan in Luo Chen’s impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, perhaps Wang Yuan himself had this style, just hiding appropriately when he first entered the immortal cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, some later things made Luo Chen feel something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurriedly holding a second-rank pill recipe, asking Luo Chen, who only knew how to refine Myriad Wonders Pills at the time, to refine it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was even trying to use the Blood-Burning Elixir, which damaged the origin, to break through barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What stood out was \"anxious\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Luo Chen’s curiosity, Wang Yuan said in a low voice: \"How can I not be anxious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know the second half of the sentence that Deacon Miao didn't finish before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen recalled the scene at that time; in fact, there wasn't much conversation, just because the two Foundation Establishment cultivators brought him great pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back carefully, he remembered that sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a pity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a pity, cannot obtain longevity!\" \u003C\u002Fp>",3736,"2026-06-12T10:35:51.239Z","2026-06-18T03:42:36.771Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","65b2a0a660c2457a367a442c2d7cafd609dcd9943f2433b617fe673b9b59c012","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-123","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-121",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-cover.jpg"]
