(As requested by DianDianQuan, I'm adding an extra chapter today. Please vote with your recommendation tickets, thank you!)

Wu Chu began to study the art of alchemy after he entered the Daluo Realm.

However, there doesn't seem to be any prior experience to draw upon for this, and there are no recipes for him to directly refine it. He can only figure it out on his own and then experiment slowly.

This is naturally a long and tedious process.

Wu Chu didn't know if the Dao of Alchemy had appeared yet; in any case, he had never seen any pills before.

Clearly, Wu Chu was testing the Taishang, after all, this Taishang priest's future achievements in alchemy would undoubtedly be unparalleled.

His masterpieces include the ability to bring the dead back to life, heal flesh and bones, and a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir that can grant immortality.

Unfortunately, when Wu Chu brought this up, Taishang's reaction was lukewarm; he merely showed interest and curiosity. After listening to Wu Chu explain the principles of alchemy, he stroked his white beard and praised Wu Chu's ingenious ideas.

Based on the principles of the Golden Core Dao, the medicinal power of various spiritual herbs is extracted, then mixed together and condensed into a pill; this is the elixir.

Of course, this is just a very simple principle of alchemy. To refine pills that won't kill people and can also increase cultivation, continuous experimentation is still needed.

This left Wu Chu somewhat disappointed, but also secretly delighted.

Disappointingly, I couldn't get any effective help from Taishang.

What secretly pleased him was that if elixirs didn't exist in this world, would the Heavenly Dao reward him with Merit for successfully refining the first batch of elixirs?

His master, Ancestor Hongjun, had never told him about elixirs, so he guessed that his master probably hadn't figured them out yet either.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly became eager to try it out, and even regretted mentioning it to the Three Kunlun Brothers.

But now that he's already said it, he can't show any regret.

Moreover, if Primordial World haven't appeared in the prehistoric world yet, then the future development of elixirs will likely be the work of the Taishang.

If that's the case, then I'm plagiarizing someone else's work again.

So even if someone else takes back the 'first place', he can't blame them.

At this moment, Houtu and Qingqiu Li silently watched Wu Chu, occasionally glancing at each other, as if they were communicating with their eyes.

In fact, when Wu Chu proposed this method of alchemy, the most surprised were Houtu and Qingqiu Li, because Wu Chu had never told them about this idea.

Moreover, the Golden Core Cultivation Method was a further refinement of the cultivation method that Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi had researched specifically for the Little Flower Fairies.

Of course, Qingqiu Li deserves more credit; she perfected the final steps.

Therefore, Qingqiu Li felt that shouldn't she tell them about this conjecture on the alchemy method? They were the ones who had the most right to speak on it!

They were unaware that, in Wu Chu's mind, he had essentially stolen what originally belonged to someone else: the Golden Core cultivation method, the Dao of Alchemy, Huanglong, the disciple of the Taoist Yuanshi... and even the identity of the Taishang Ancestor Hongjun eldest disciple of the Supreme Lord.

The poor Three Kunlun Brothers had already had quite a few things 'robbed' of by him.

With this in mind, Wu Chu naturally wouldn't mind Taishang the Supreme Elder reclaimed the title of 'Number One' in Dao of Alchemy. In fact, he felt that the Taishang might not even bother to do so.

Doesn't the future Sage of heaven and earth, the founder of the Human Sect, have any dignity?

As for whether Wu Chu would feel guilty towards the three brothers... he no longer thought about it the way he did when he first transmigrated. After all, this was his good fortune.

Without this stroke of luck, how could he have met Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi, and how could he have, with their help, mastered the Golden Core Dao cultivation method? Without this stroke of luck, how could he have met the Ancestor, and how could he have been accepted as the Ancestor's first disciple?

Since he was fortunate enough to become a time traveler, then this was what he deserved. All the knowledge and skills he had acquired before his time travel were his capital to establish himself in this world.

This was his destiny.

Since the Taishang Elder had not yet begun studying the Dao of Alchemy, Wu Chu could not continue discussing his thoughts on this topic with them, so he had no choice but to change the subject.

Meanwhile, the first dish that Little Moon Spirit had prepared for them was served by the Little Flower Fairies. It was a very simple appetizer—spicy lotus root slices.

This stuff is spicy, crunchy, and delicious—perfect for pairing with drinks.

As the Little Flower Fairies brought out one glowing dish after another, the Three Kunlun Brothers had to admit that what Qingqiu Li and Hong Yun had said was indeed true.

After the Three Kunlun Brothers tasted this delicacy, their conversation naturally turned to the Dao of Cuisine.

Tongtian Xiaodao was very curious, "How did you come up with this Dao of Cuisine, fellow Daoist? As far as I know, most creatures in the Primordial World ate raw meat and drank blood, just to fill their stomachs..."

"This is the wisdom of living beings. Sometimes, just by chance, they start something, and then it flows like a Great River, endlessly pouring down," Wu Chu said with a smile. "Just like when I started a campfire next to a pile of raw meat, and that's how this started..."

When he first came into this world, he used a campfire to roast prawns, so it wasn't exactly a lie; it was more like a half-truth.

Even if he were to lie, with his current acting skills, they wouldn't be able to tell.

Wu Chu had already given this explanation to many curious people, so giving it again now was nothing new. A lie repeated many times eventually becomes the truth.

"Just like when we comprehend the fundamental structure of the Great Dao Laws, once we grasp the beginning, we can follow that beginning, like peeling back layers of an onion..."

They ate and drank, chatted about everything under the sun, played chess, and discussed philosophy.

As for playing chess, influenced by the way Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi brought the game of Black-and-White Chess to Kunlun, the three brothers' chess skills were by no means inferior.

It wasn't until Wu Chu produced the Qiankun Chessboard that Tai Taishang was caught off guard. And it wasn't until Wu Chu used the Yibao to cheat that he managed to turn the tide.

Finally, Wu Chu used the method his ancestor had instructed him to raise his questions about the Great Dao on the chessboard, like playing a game of chess, and thus produced the Dao Sound, which finally shook the three brothers.

And so the discussion began.

Now that Wu Chu's cultivation has reached the Daluo realm, he can finally join in the discussions when everyone is talking about the Dao. He's no longer like the duck that couldn't hear thunder back then.

The cultivation of these Three Kunlun Brothers is indeed unfathomable; the number of Great Dao Laws they have comprehended is countless.

It must be said that these Innate deities who were born at the Daluo realm are indeed incomparable to beings like him who cultivated later.

Aside from being able to chime in on the Five Elements Dao, Spatial Dao, Dao of Qiankun, Yin Yang Dao, and Death Dao, he could only remain a listener when discussing other Great Dao.

However, the Dao Resonance generated by their discussions greatly benefited the other disciples with lower cultivation levels and the Little Flower Fairies.
