Chapter 430: Chapter 430: The Characters on the Heaven-Hating Elixir Technique Came to Life!

"Do you find the name of this alchemy technique to be awe-inspiring? To even dare to hate the heavens—this is also why I was willing to spend a huge sum to acquire it at the auction!"

Seeing Lu Chen’s expression, Gui Zhuo thought he had scared him.

"Third Elder, are you truly willing to entrust this alchemy technique to me?"

Lu Chen took a deep breath. In the Cultivation World, although it is common to talk about defying the heavens, no one ever speaks of hating them!

And this "Hateful Heaven Alchemy Technique" must certainly be an artifact of the Hatetian Clan. The key point was that Gui Zhuo had said it was obtained from an auction!

How could he not be excited?

"If you have the talent for alchemy, why wouldn’t this elder give it to you? I have also made quite a few annotations on this alchemy technique. Take it and study it well. If there is anything you do not understand, this elder can clarify it for you. Alchemy is not to be rushed!"

As long as Lu Chen was interested, he was obviously not in a rush.

But Lu Chen didn’t want to go back immediately; Gui Zhuo clearly had some arrangements planned, saying it could wait until after the expedition to the Haotian Secret Realm.

If he were to return now, seizing another opportunity to absorb the Fire Essence wouldn’t be as significant!

He wanted to enhance his strength as much as possible before setting out!

"Third Elder," Lu Chen said with a serious tone, "I would like to take a look at the ’Hateful Heaven Alchemy Technique’ here first, if I may..."

"What, you can’t wait?" Gui Zhuo laughed. The more impatient Lu Chen was, the happier he was. It wouldn’t cause any delay just looking at it here. So, he said, "If you can’t hold back, then stay here and read it. Only, I’m worried that your master, after recovering from taking the Nourishing Spirit Pill, will be anxious if he can’t find you."

"That’s true," Lu Chen nodded and said, "Then Third Elder, no more than three hours. I will return after three hours, how does that sound?"

"Three hours... that should be about right. I don’t mind, but I’m mainly concerned that your master will worry about you!"

"No, he won’t," Lu Chen quickly said, "In my earlier years, I consumed a peculiar Spiritual Medicine that led to my Fire Spiritual Root becoming exceptionally active. If the fire within me is strong, I can calm my mind more easily, so..."

Gui Zhuo laughed and said, "Do you want to sit beside a pit of fire? Take this wooden talisman and continue walking deeper inside, use your Spiritual Power to activate it, and you will be able to control the ward. I won’t disturb you any longer. If you don’t come out after three hours, don’t blame this elder for interrupting you."

"Don’t worry, Third Elder, I have a clear grasp on this!"

Lu Chen was delighted inside. Actually, absorbing the Fire Essence wouldn’t take three hours.

What Lu Chen intended to do was to quickly memorize the contents of the "Hateful Heaven Alchemy Technique" in case it was taken back.

Gui Zhuo, indifferent, turned and walked toward the outside of the cave, while Lu Chen quickly made his way into the ward. Once he activated the ward without any mishap, the Fire Essence transformed into a pillar of fire and lunged at Lu Chen.

With previous experience, the Fire Essence was no longer a threat to him. Lu Chen naturally absorbed the Fire Essence and then looked inward at his body.

One hour later, his Spiritual Fire had refined the Fire Essence, and his Spiritual Fire had grown stronger. He also felt that his Spiritual Fire seemed to be trying to communicate something with him.

But the information was very rudimentary, and Lu Chen couldn’t understand it at all, eager to read the "Hateful Heaven Alchemy Technique," he withdrew his consciousness!

He opened the first page, and before he could even see its content, a familiar, ancient aura washed over him!

Inexplicably and uncontrollably, Lu Chen used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique and looked over the "Hateful Heaven Alchemy Technique"!

The next moment.

Lu Chen witnessed an incredible sight!

The "Hateful Heaven Alchemy Technique" in his hands seemed to be blown by a fierce wind, the pages flipping rapidly, and the characters on it coming alive, flying straight into his eyes!

Lu Chen was shocked and quickly tried to pull away.

But at that moment, his body was out of his control, and the characters entered his pupils, filling his mind with a wealth of alchemy knowledge!

"What is this..."

After a long while, Lu Chen finally came back to his senses, feeling as if he were an alchemist with many years of experience!

"How magical... Is this the prowess of the Hatetian Clan?"

Lu Chen mumbled to himself, suddenly recalling something, and looked down at the booklet in his hands.

The booklet remained the same, and the characters had not disappeared from the pages after flying into his eyes.

"What is this..."

Lu Chen furrowed his brow, but he felt a ripple of Spiritual Power in front of him.

Then, Gui Zhuo entered.

"Lu Chen, you were so engrossed in reading that four hours have passed, and you still haven’t come out!"

Four hours?

So much time had gone by!
