Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 277: Chapter 147: Funeral, No Descendants, Heart

Torment, We’ll Have a Long Time Ahead! (An early congratulations to our Alliance Master Yinhua

Xiaomin!)_3

At the end of the banquet, Miao Wen suddenly brought up a matter.

“If you’re free the day after tomorrow, come with me to attend a funeral.”

“A funeral?” Luo Chen asked in surprise, “Whose?”

“Who do you think it is?”

Miao Wen stood up, flashing a small smile.

In that instant, Luo Chen’s expression finally showed unexpected changes.

Miao Wen was satisfied, then he left without another word.

TWO days later, Luo Chen, along with Mi Li and Qin Liangchen, who had lost an arm, followed Miao Wen deep into a mountain range.

Absolute Cloud Mountain!

Upon setting foot here, Luo Chen glanced over at Qin Liangchen.

The latter said in understanding: “The Broken Mountain Gang has established many posts in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, site for hunting, medicinal herb collection and mining. In addition, some seemingly dangerous points, in fact, are very safe.”

“Absolute Cloud Mountain is rumored to be very dangerous, and it conceals Second Order Demon Beasts such as the Bloodthirsty Alligator and the Black

Swamp Giant Python.”

“Yet in reality, there’s a hidden pocket of Yuan Magnetic Valley that remains untouched by the Demon Beasts.”

“Upon discovering this, 01′ Mi selected this location as a safe area, known only

to a select few that he trusts.”

Yuan Magnetic Valley!

Upon hearing this name, Luo Chen finally realized why it was regarded as a safe area.

The force of yuan magnets is said to neutralize all five elements!

Any place that densely harbors such force is believed to be ill-suited for practitioners.

Absolute Cloud Mountain is inhabited by fierce Demon Beasts, but a presence of a Yuan Magnetic Valley indeed signifies that it’s the safest place.

Most Demon Beasts, are fundamentally bound to the principles of Yin Yang and the Five Elements.

Their innate aversion would keep them away from the Yuan Magnetic Valley.

Miao Wen, flying ahead, naturally heard what Qin Liangchen had to say.

He chuckled: “Indeed, if it weren’t for the struggle over the Golden Core relics, Friend Mi couldn’t have used this place to escape the pursuit of the Demon Beasts and enemies. I guess I wouldn’t have discovered this contingency plan.” “It’s just a pity that after my personal inspection, I found only a thin layer of Yuan Magnetic Ore, which serves no significant use.”

“Otherwise, a deposit of Yuan Magnetic Ore alone, would have been worth me returning to my Sect and becoming an Elder.”

Yuan Magnetic Ore holds great value and is at the lowest, a third order mineral. However, its value can dwindle drastically if the scale is insufficient and it is of little use, it won’t have any considerable worth.”

The natural environment is teeming with forces of yuan magnets.

But apart from the large-scale Yuan Magnetic Mines, few people bother collecting these trivial forces of yuan magnets.

As they ventured further into the conversation, the quartet delved deeper into Absolute Cloud Mountain.

The roars of the Demon Beasts echoed continually.

Occasionally, a dreadful force would sweep across, whitening the faces of the three Qi Refinement Cultivators.

Even Miao Wen’s face looked serious, as he contained his laughter.

That reportedly safe haven didn’t seem safe at all!

The journey to get there was fraught with danger.

Li hid behind Luo Chen, her pale face unveiling her fear and anticipation.

Members of the Mi Family were still alive!

After a lapse of one tea brewing time, they hovered above a lush valley.

Miao Wen glanced downwards and broke into a smile.

Luo Chen also looked down instinctively.

At first sight, nothing seemed unusual, until his Spirit Vision technique was activated, he noticed something odd.

The entire forest was lifeless!

These were trees specially treated to make preservative deadwood.

In this forest, an array was hidden that concealed the real situation.

This Mi Shuhua really had some tricks up his sleeve.

“Let’s get down.”

“Little Li should go offer these incense to her grandfather.”

As his words fell, he dissolved the clouds, and the four directly descended. As they crossed the Deadwood forest, it seemed as if a layer of ripples passed over their bodies.

The next moment, wails of sorrow resonated in their ears.

“Who’s there?”

A stern voice echoed.

The valley immediately descended into disarray.

With a wave of his wide sleeve, Miao Wen made a bow.

“An old friend comes uninvited, intending to pay his respects to an old friend.”

An old friend!

“Steward Miao!”

This surprised voice came from a man who had the highest authority in the valley.

Sikong Yuanhong!

Luo Chen was surprised to see that he was still alive.

Luo Chen had heard, the Li Family cultivators from the Xuan Yihui were the main force in annihilating the Mi Family.

The slaughter had resulted in a river of blood, almost staining the entire Water Horse Beach red.

As the leading member, Sikong Yuanhong shouldn’t have been alive! Sikong Yuanhong seemed surprised and uncertain, but he made his way through the crowd with respectful demeanor and stood in front of Miao Wen. “The younger generation pays its respects to Steward Miao.” Miao Wen curled the corner of his mouth but said nothing, his gazed apnl across the others present.

They weren’t many, only about twenty or so.

Most were Qi Refinement early and middle stage practitioners, there were even a few ordinary people.

They all seemed to acknowledge Sikong Yuanhong as their leader.

“You’ve been through a lot.”

Miao Wen crossed his arms into his sleeves, walked past the bending Sikong Yuanhong.

While walking forward, he said:

“Being able to unite these surviving members of the Mi Family, you’ve projected determination. Friend Mi must be relieved to know this.”

He suddenly came to a halt.

Miao Wen’s gaze fell on a brand-new gravestone under which was a tomb. Sikong Yuanhong was about to say something, but the next moment, his eyes widened.

Subconsciously spreading out his hand, he said,: Stop!

However, he was completely ignored.

“Since the old friend has arrived, why doesn’t the old acquaintance come out and meet him?”

Miao Wen gave a soft shout, slowly pushing out his palm.

A massive wave of spirit power forced the Mi family members aside.

Not only that, the main target was to remove the gravestone, and excavate the coffin buried beneath..
