Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1298: Chapter 493: Cultivation Speed, A Thousand Miles in a Day, Success or Failure Lies in the Physique!_3

Wang Yuan’s qi-blood was vigorous, like a boiling gigantic baking furnace.

Nor was he like Zeng Yilong, whose delicate appearance concealed muscles twisted like a monstrous demon.

In contrast, Luo Chen, who was solely dedicated to body refinement, had very smooth muscular contours on his body.

That feeling... was like a Roc stretching its wings and soaring through the sky.

Majestic and heroic, yet not frightening.

When he stretched his muscles and bones, a clattering sound emanated, like the clashing of metal.

Once his body was clear of impurities,

Luo Chen’s hands motioned together, drawing a batch of ore materials into the Official’s Cauldron.

Under the roasting of his Original Source True Fire, it gradually melted into a multicolored liquid.

When the last piece of black Fourth Stage stone material blended in, the multicolored liquid suddenly turned into a pitch-dark ink-like substance.

Ink?

Looking at the ink, Luo Chen took a deep breath and began to manipulate an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool, the Golden Bamboo Pen, dipping it into the thick ink.

Once it had absorbed enough,

he started to inscribe array patterns on his body using the Golden Bamboo Pen.

Chest and back, limbs and features,

even the soles of his feet and the Heavenly Spirit Cover were nearly all covered.

For this purpose, Luo Chen even casually chopped off his glossy black long hair.

The Concealing Array, composed of numerous Obscure Restrictions, was of Third Order quality!

Especially since Luo Chen kept revising it, bringing it to Perfection, it had nearly no flaws, comparable to a Fourth-order Formation.

Luo Chen had set it up once before and had received Min Longyu’s stunned praise.

The other party directly said that such a Concealing Array might even deceive a Nascent Soul True Master!

To fully operationalize this array during the engraving process, no corner could be left uncovered.

Even if not the entire body was covered, the intertwining array patterns must encompass all the minor details.

Quickly!

Luo Chen had completely inscribed the Concealing Array on his body.

”Next, just wait for the body to absorb these array patterns.”

Luo Chen showed a smile on his face and floated naked in mid-air, letting his body absorb the thick ink.

However,

as time slowly passed, Luo Chen’s expression gradually darkened like ink.

He looked down at his palm; the thick ink was still clinging there, showing no sign of merging into his body.

”Can’t it merge?”

”What’s going on?”

During his uncertain mood, Luo Chen started to search for the cause.

First, he had definitely mastered the array.

Second, the materials were also correct; Min Longyu had even pre-mixed the proportions for him.

Finally...

”Then the problem can only be with this Ancient Desolation Third Stage body of mine!”

Luo Chen took a deep breath, vaguely finding the reason.

The least likely reason often turned out to be the most probable one!

He hadn’t expected that his Demon Beast Level Physique, which had been his trump card during the Foundation Establishment Stage, would become a major obstacle in inscribing the array.

Especially over the years, since his Core Formation, he had perfected ”The Flow of All Things” and occasionally used the Original Source True Fire to temper his body, making his physique stronger and stronger.

What was originally a good thing had now turned into a bad one.

Truly, success and failure both lied with the physique.

But clearly, Luo Chen was accustomed to failures but had never accepted them.

”If the Golden Bamboo Pen with Magic Artifact Level isn’t enough, how about using the Magic Item Level Flying Sword?”

A stern look flashed across Luo Chen’s face, and the Xuanhuo Sword appeared before him.

This time, the sword tip was pointed inwards, not outwards!

When the sword tip sliced open a bloody gash in front of Luo Chen’s chest, he couldn’t help but grunt.

Being cut by someone else and cutting oneself were totally different things.

Despite being mentally prepared, Luo Chen still found it somewhat unbearable.

”The oozing blood will interfere with the construct of the array.”

”Burn it!”

With a thought, Original Source True Fire wrapped around Luo Chen’s body, completely scorching the freshly spilt blood.

As the thick ink seeped into his flesh and bones, a heart-piercing pain suddenly spread throughout his body.

”Damn!”

”Slow absorption and forceful inscription are entirely different in terms of pain!”
