Primordial Era: Apprenticeship Under Laozi, I Refine Mythical Golden Elixirs

As soon as Luo Xuan saw Laozi, he said, "Master, your disciple has a request."

Laozi asked, "What is it?"

Luo Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Your disciple has reached a bottleneck in his cultivation today and feels he is of no use on Kunlun Mountain. I wish to travel through the Primordial Era."

"With your talent, you only need to solidify your realm. Why the rush?"

Laozi immediately refused, looking at Luo Xuan speechlessly.

Don't you know how monstrous you are?

"Master, my mind is made up."

Seeing Luo Xuan's firm stance, Laozi hesitated for a moment before finally telling him the truth.

"If you wish to travel the Primordial Era, your master naturally agrees."

"However, the conflict between the Witch Clan and the Demon Race is escalating daily, and it's unclear when a great war will break out. Why not wait until after the great calamity before you travel the Primordial Era?"

Luo Xuan smiled and said, "Master, please don't worry. I am now a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal."

"With my strength, there are not many people in the entire Primordial Era who can harm me."

Luo Xuan naturally knew about the Witch-Demon Calamity.

It was precisely because he knew that Luo Xuan was determined to leave.

Di Jun's ten Golden Crows must have reached their mischievous age.

When Hou Yi shoots the suns, Luo Xuan worried that Hou Yi might encounter some mishap.

Moreover, speaking of the Witch-Demon War, the sword in Di Jun's hand played a crucial role.

A Houtian Supreme Treasure, the Witch-Slaying Sword!

Although it was a Houtian Supreme Treasure, it had terrifying lethality against the Witch Clan, existing specifically to break the Witch Clan's physical bodies.

And the condition for Di Jun to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword was to slaughter the Human Race!

Thinking of this, Luo Xuan was filled with worry and had to go back no matter what.

Laozi recalled the scene of Luo Xuan beating Duobao earlier.

His mind turned, and he thought it was indeed as Luo Xuan said.

Furthermore, traveling the Primordial Era would indeed be beneficial to Luo Xuan.

With this thought, Laozi finally nodded in agreement and said, "Since you have already made up your mind, your master will not stop you."

Luo Xuan's eyes lit up with joy. "Thank you, Master."

Seeing Laozi looking preoccupied, Luo Xuan's heart stirred.

"Master, are you worried about Martial Uncle Yuanshi and Martial Uncle Tongtian?"

Laozi smiled and looked at Luo Xuan, "What am I worried about?"

Luo Xuan's star-like eyes looked at Laozi. "Aren't the contradictions between the two Martial Uncles becoming more intense?"

Xuan Du looked at Luo Xuan in surprise. "Martial Brother, how did you see that?"

Over the years on Kunlun Mountain, he had seen disciples from the other two sects daily.

He had only noticed that the disciples of the two sects were somewhat at odds, but he hadn't seen any specific conflict.

Yet Martial Brother had been in seclusion. How did he know? And it seemed more serious than he felt.

Laozi also looked at Luo Xuan in surprise. "How did you know?"

"The Heavenly Origin Sect acts in accordance with heaven, while the Intercepting Sect intercepts a sliver of life."

"When they first established their sects and became saints, I was also happy for them."

"But their understanding of the Great Dao is different, and their doctrines are completely opposite."

The conflict between them grew fiercer, and after Tongtian accepted Duobao as his disciple, Yuanshi became even more displeased.

If it weren't for his mediation, the two would have argued incessantly.

Laozi sighed softly, while Xuan Du stared wide-eyed at his master.

This was the first time Laozi had spoken about their situation.

Luo Xuan said, "Master, you don't need to worry. Everything depends on opportunity. Some things cannot be forced."

"Insisting on forcing them will only be counterproductive."

Laozi was slightly stunned upon hearing this and began to ponder.

After a moment, Laozi chuckled and cursed, "You brat, after being in seclusion for so long, you're lecturing me now."

Although he said this, Laozi felt a bit more at ease.

Luo Xuan smiled and said, "Your disciple would not dare."

Laozi snorted and no longer continued the topic. "I will not stop you from traveling the Primordial Era."

"However, you were in seclusion comprehending the Pill Dao. How is it now?"

"I'm still a bit short of being able to refine Seventh-grade Elixirs," Luo Xuan said with a look of regret.

The hands beneath Laozi's robes trembled.

Not only had his cultivation broken through to the mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, but he was also close to refining Seventh-grade Elixirs?!

Laozi forced himself to remain calm and said, "Good, refine a batch of Six Revolutions elixirs, and I will assess your skills."

Luo Xuan didn't notice anything unusual about Laozi's expression and agreed, then began to refine the elixir.

Soon, Luo Xuan was fluidly adding Spiritual Roots and materials into the Alchemy Furnace, his movements as if honed by countless trials.

Laozi was calm at first, but gradually his eyes widened.

Chapter 35: Storm Approaching

Shock filled Laozi's eyes.

"There wasn't even a single mistake..."

Laozi looked at Luo Xuan again.

Luo Xuan's cheeks were flushed red in the firelight.

Even though he was already a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, under the scorching heat of the Innate Spiritual Fire, a few beads of sweat still trickled down Luo Xuan's forehead.

His eyes were fixed on the Alchemy Furnace, unblinking.

It was as if, at this moment, Laozi, Xuan Du, and everything around him had ceased to exist in his eyes.

[Detected Host has refined eight Six Revolutions Qiankun One Qi Pills, classified as top-grade.]

[Congratulations to Host for obtaining five drops of Demon God Gui Che Blood Essence.]

"Hoo."

Luo Xuan let out a long breath and looked at Laozi, smiling, "Master, how was it?"

"Top-grade elixirs! Senior Brother, you're amazing!"

Xuan Du picked up the elixirs from the Alchemy Furnace, his eyes wide.

Under Laozi's tutelage, Xuan Du had also learned to refine Third-grade Elixirs.

Under Luo Xuan's influence, the Taiqing Palace had gradually begun to classify elixirs as low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

It was precisely because he touched upon elixirs that Xuan Du truly understood how precious top-grade elixirs were.

And this was a Six Revolutions elixir!

For a moment, Xuan Du looked at Luo Xuan with even greater reverence.

Laozi, on the other hand, stared at Luo Xuan, completely stunned.

It wasn't until Xuan Du's exclamation that he snapped back to reality.

He picked up an elixir and rubbed it between his fingers.

"Not bad, but still a bit lacking compared to me."

"Really?" Luo Xuan picked up an elixir, but couldn't find any issues, looking at Laozi with some suspicion.

Laozi's eyes darted away, and he quickly coughed a few times, saying, "Luo Xuan, since you wish to travel the Primordial Era, I shall impart a technique to you."

"This technique is called One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. If you find yourself in a desperate situation, you can use this technique, and ordinary individuals will not be able to break through it."

Fearing that Luo Xuan would see through his pretense, Laozi turned and left as soon as he finished speaking.

As expected, Luo Xuan's eyes lit up upon hearing One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and he quickly followed.

Even Xuan Du followed behind Laozi, looking curious.

Shortly after, a mass of clouds flew out from Kunlun Mountain.

Luo Xuan sat cross-legged on it, circulating his Primordial Pill Body.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked down.

Vast swathes of mountains appeared as small as his palm.

The further they got from Kunlun, the sparser the vegetation on the mountains and plains became, revealing the earth-yellow ground.

Even the myriad races of the Primordial Era he had seen thousands of years ago were nowhere to be found.

"The Primordial Era has become so desolate?"

Although he hadn't seen the Witch Clan or the Demon Race, Luo Xuan could imagine the friction between the two clans.

With that thought, the cloud beneath his feet sped up as he flew rapidly towards Shouyang Mountain.

However, before he could even see Shouyang Mountain, Luo Xuan looked up slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The next moment, a flock of bird demons flew towards Luo Xuan.

At a rough count, there were at least several hundred, almost all of them in the Golden Immortal realm.

The giant bird leading the pack was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. He looked at Luo Xuan fiercely and shouted, "This is the Demon Race's business, unrelated individuals, retreat quickly!"
