Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2242: Chapter 823: The Ruthless Path of Demon, An Old Friend Passes Away

This small shop’s elder appears ordinary, but in reality, his realm is not inferior; he is in the Golden Core Realm.

Outside, lower order cultivators must respectfully address him as ”Ascendant Master.”

Thus, his insight is by no means lacking!

After obtaining the ”Soul Absorption Technique” from the gray-robed man, merely flipping through it for a moment made him instantly aware of its extraordinary nature!

It clearly records a secret technique that can extract essence from the soul of living beings.

The soul is something unique to beings with spirit.

Though it seems intangible and formless, it actually truly exists.

Its uses are manifold; it is arguably the most important in the process of cultivation, without exception!

The path of immortal cultivation, seemingly about Qi Refinement, is in fact about Spirit Refining.

From the soul to the derivative Spirit Consciousness, and then after reaching the Golden Core Period, transforming into Divine Consciousness to interfere with the outer world, this is a complete metamorphosis route.

If one can achieve the Nascent Soul Realm, they can temporarily use the Nascent Soul as a secondary container for the Divine Soul.

It’s rumored that the realm of Divine Transformation is named ”Divine Transformation” because the Nascent Soul can transform into the Primordial Spirit.

At that realm, the Divine Soul and the Nascent Soul thoroughly merge; even if the physical body is destroyed, the cultivator can rely on the Primordial Spirit to survive independently, no longer fearing Heaven and Earth Assimilation, natural disasters, or calamities.

Why is it said since ancient times that only at the Divine Transformation Realm can one ascend?

It is precisely because of the existence of the Primordial Spirit, during the process of ascension, a powerful Primordial Spirit can lock onto the guiding Spirit Light, ascending to the Immortal Realm.

Let’s not stray too far.

Returning to the ”Soul Absorption Technique”!

This secret technique can refine the soul essence from the souls of living beings, not only from high-order entities with an accomplished Divine Soul but also from some lower-order beings, extracting the essence from their weak and hard-to-find souls.

Truly sinister and heretical, a devil!

The elder asked the gray-robed cultivator questions while anxiously flipping further into the pages.

This tattered little booklet, it seemed old, one couldn’t say how many years it had existed.

But the secret technique recorded on it was quite complete; even the necessary tool for refining soul essence, the ”Soul Summoning Banner,” had its crafting method detailed.

The elder quickly realized the significance of this technique.

According to the descriptions, soul essence is quite peculiar; it can be used for cultivation to increase Divine Soul Endowment or for cultivating certain insidious soul dao secret techniques.

As long as it can be created, there will be buyers in abundance!

Perhaps it could even become the treasure of his shop!

As for the biggest issue with refining soul essence, it’s not the difficulty of cultivating the secret technique or crafting the Soul Summoning Banner, but acquiring the raw materials.

But this problem, at present, is no issue at all.

What era are we in now?

Human and Demon War, racial contention!

The Eastern Desolate Dominators: human cultivators clashing directly and fiercely with the Demon Clan accumulated over three thousand years.

Every day countless beings perish, and many souls vanish into smoke.

Those are the best raw materials indeed!

In response to the elder’s urgent inquiries, the gray-robed cultivator guardedly extended his hand.

”Just let me know if you’ll exchange or not. If not, return it to me!”

The elder immediately tightly gripped the tattered beast skin book and smiled ingratiatingly: ”Why be so tense? Old I am just asking a few more questions. If this secret technique was acquired from some renowned sect, it would be endless trouble if I took it.”

The gray-robed cultivator, suddenly understanding, explained: ”You don’t have to worry about that; this book I found in an ancient cultivator’s cave, guaranteed to have no loose ends.”

An ancient cultivator’s cave?

The elder scrutinized the beastskin paper and the handwriting on it, nodding.

It indeed looks aged.
