Primordial Era: My Apprenticeship Under Laozi, I Forge Mythical Golden Elixirs

"Thank you, Master."

Seeing Luo Xuan's nonchalant expression, Suiren Shi's eyelids twitched.

They had truly witnessed the might of the Purple Gold Gourd just now.

As soon as the sky-filling purple flames erupted, those two who had been suppressing them so fiercely were burned into such a sorry state.

Yet, Luo Xuan looked at the Purple Gold Gourd as if it were no big deal?

Luo Xuan had naturally heard of the Purple Gold Gourd's fame.

It was one of the seven gourds from the Innate Gourd Vine on Buzhou Mountain.

A Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

After being refined by Laozi, it contained the Sky-Burning Purple Flames and could be used to kill enemies.

It also contained the Path of Karma, possessing infinite power.

Yuanshi and Tongtian looked at Luo Xuan, sighing inwardly.

Luo Xuan obtaining the Purple Gold Gourd meant he had successfully become a disciple.

The two of them could never take Luo Xuan as a disciple again.

What a pity to lose such a good disciple!

They were incredibly envious of Laozi.

Laozi looked at Luo Xuan, his eyes filled with a smile, and said, "Luo Xuan, now that you are my disciple, come back to Kunlun Mountain with us."

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xuan shook his head.

Seeing this, Laozi's eyes narrowed slightly. "You've changed your mind?"

Luo Xuan asked, "Master, may I go to Kunlun after a thousand years?"

"A thousand years... that's not impossible. What do you want to do?"

Laozi pondered for a moment, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Luo Xuan turned to look at Suiren Shi, Youchaoshi, and Ziyi Clan.

Then he turned to look at the crowd watching from afar on the other side.

"Ever since I arrived in the Primordial Era, I have stayed at Shouyang Mountain."

"I want to use these thousand years to leave behind my alchemy techniques."

"Excellent!"

Laozi nodded with satisfaction, his gaze towards Luo Xuan filled with even more admiration.

Even in his moment of success, he hadn't forgotten his roots. Laozi admired Luo Xuan even more.

He truly is the disciple I chose!

"In a thousand years, I will come to Shouyang Mountain to escort you to Kunlun."

Luo Xuan bowed. "Thank you, Master."

Laozi waved his robe, and a streak of light shot towards Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan instinctively caught it, immediately feeling a warm, gentle sensation.

A palm-sized jade slip lay in his hand.

Laozi said, "Keep this jade slip safe."

"If you face a life-or-death crisis, or if there's an urgent matter, crush it, and I will arrive in less than a moment."

"Thank you, Master!" This time, a hint of surprise finally appeared in Luo Xuan's eyes.

The Three Pure Ones were top-tier powerful beings in the Primordial Era, and Laozi was even considered second only to Hongjun, the most powerful being in the Primordial Era.

With this jade slip in hand, Luo Xuan essentially had an extra life.

"We shall depart."

Laozi waved his robe, and the Three Pure Ones transformed into three streaks of light, disappearing without a trace.

Luo Xuan examined the jade slip in his hand back and forth. Looking closely, he could faintly sense that the patterns on the jade slip seemed to reveal some kind of profound mystery.

Only after the Three Pure Ones left did Suiren Shi and the others finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Suiren Shi looked at Luo Xuan and sighed slightly. "Luo Xuan, you could have completely left with them."

Luo Xuan put away the jade slip and shook his head. "The Human Race has only just begun to gain some traction. I cannot leave now."

After a moment of silence, Suiren Shi sighed. "The Human Race is weak, and it has implicated you."

Luo Xuan smiled faintly. "I am of the Innate Human Race. No one can change that."

"My roots are here."

Suiren Shi looked deeply at Luo Xuan and smiled. "Good child!"

After the departure of the Three Pure Ones, the news of Luo Xuan being accepted as a disciple by them spread throughout the tribe.

Everyone spoke of this matter with fervent expressions.

Luo Xuan, however, seemed completely unaffected and returned to his routine of going back and forth.

During the day, Luo Xuan refined elixirs and taught alchemy techniques and formulas.

At night, he first studied the Primordial Pill Canon, then entered the Five Directions Cauldron to temper his physical body.

As he cultivated, Luo Xuan's cultivation level smoothly dropped from Early Profound Immortal to Late True Immortal.

The Primordial Pill Body tempered the flesh, meridians, bones, primordial spirit, essence, and immortal power separately.

Then, he began to temper the Great Dao Laws into his own being.

It was a process of constantly compressing power to the extreme.

Now, around the elixirs, Luo Xuan could clearly see a layer of purple-gold light.

However, a drop in cultivation level was naturally not a problem for Luo Xuan.

Upon learning that Luo Xuan would leave in a thousand years, the Human Race on Shouyang Mountain became even more diligent in learning alchemy.

It could be clearly felt that the Elixir Qi on Shouyang Mountain had become much denser.

Moreover, recently, a large number of alchemists capable of refining First-turn Elixirs and even Second-turn Pills had emerged.

In a dense forest somewhere in the Primordial Era.

A slender figure streaked through, causing the surrounding vegetation to sway slightly.

Suddenly, the figure paused, revealing the Snake Demon.

The Snake Demon's body halted for a moment, and the next instant, its pupils contracted.

It retreated rapidly.

The moment it retreated, two giant birds descended from the sky.

"Haha, what a plump snake, and a Golden Immortal at that! Today, we'll finally have a good meal."

One of the giant birds laughed heartily, its eyes fixed on the Snake Demon, and it licked its beak.

"Late Golden Immortal!"

The Snake Demon's eyes trembled, knowing it had no chance of escape.

"Wait, sirs! I have something important to say, it's about the Human Race!"

Seeing the two giant birds pounce, the Snake Demon quickly said.

"The Human Race? They're just food. What important matters could the Human Race have? They're not even as tasty as snake meat."

Although they said this, the speed of the two giant birds slowed down.

The Snake Demon had originally intended to report this matter, so it did not hesitate and said, "This matter is of great importance. I wish to see your King."

Seeing the Snake Demon's serious expression, the giant birds couldn't help but believe it a little.

After a moment of hesitation, the giant bird said, "Then follow me."

The giant bird turned and flew away. The Snake Demon's eyes lit up, and it followed.

Led by the giant bird, the Snake Demon soon arrived at a cave dwelling.

As soon as it entered, the Snake Demon saw a figure.

Its face was almost entirely hidden by a beard, and only a pair of narrow eyes could be vaguely seen.

From him, the might of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal emanated at all times.

"Greetings, Lord Dang Hu."

The Snake Demon lowered its head.

Dang Hu said in a gruff voice, "You're the one who said the Human Race has something important to report?"

"That's right, the Human Race has produced a large number of alchemists..."

The Snake Demon quickly spoke, recounting everything it had seen and heard on Shouyang Mountain.

Finally, it added, "Lord Dang Hu, please report this matter to Lord Di Jun as soon as possible!"

A sharp glint appeared in Dang Hu's eyes. "I will naturally report this. If it's truly as you say, then we must find a way to bring the Human Race into our Demon Race."

[Detected that the host has successfully refined three Third-turn Thunderfall Elixirs of superior quality.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a piece of Blood Jade Stone.]

"Good! Refining here really does improve the quality."

On a plain not far from Shouyang Mountain, Luo Xuan excitedly took out the Thunderfall Elixirs from the alchemy furnace.

Just as Luo Xuan was getting excited.

He suddenly caught sight of a figure approaching from the corner of his eye.
