The Undying Immortal System

The final few caves in the Path of Mind increased in difficulty slightly, but there was nothing too challenging. As long as one knew the recipes and could correctly identify the necessary herbs among those that had been provided, most trained alchemists wouldn’t have any problems walking this path.

While there were many difficult-to-make Rank 4 pills, they all required strong will-locks, powerful spirit flames, and a mixture of high affinities. As this test was intentionally designed so that it was possible to complete as a Martial Lord 1, no such pill was required.

Instead, the challenge mostly came from the environment. With bandits ready to attack if one made the slightest error and only a single opportunity for success, the mental pressure of the test would be intense for those not confident in their abilities.

For me, the test was as simple as walking. I had made these low-level Rank 4 pills more times than I could count. Even after getting distracted by the idiots in the holding area a few times, my lock on the ingredients never faltered.

Once I completed the tenth and final pill, I expected to leave the cave system and appear near Profound City. To my surprise, the stone arch instead led to a small sitting room where an older man in orange robes was waiting for me.

I quickly checked in energy vision and noted that everything, including the man, was an illusion. Even so, I needed to be careful with how I acted here.

The old man gestured to a seat across from him.

I gave a slight bow and sat down. I stayed quiet and let him direct the flow of the conversation.

“Earth Peak Disciple Su Fang. You have requested to be allowed access to alchemy missions. This has caused a few… difficulties.”
