Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 308: Chapter 157: Goodbye, The Great River District (massive update, request for subscription!)_1

“Luo Chen, is it?”

The tone, seemingly a question but actually an affirmation, sent chills down

Luo Chen’s spine.

In a trance, he even thought the person in front of him was the deceased old

man.

Back then, he had asked a similar question.

The subsequent result was Luo Chen becoming the master of the Pill Hall, toiling over his responsibilities for him.

Swallowing saliva, Luo Chen forced himself to focus.

Scared my ass, others might have reached the Golden Core, but I’m still trying to master Qi Refinement. If worst comes to worst, I’ll just fight my way out!

“Congratulations, Elder, on vanquishing the demonic cultivator.”

“Demonic cultivator? Haha…”

Pang Renxiong actually started laughing.

The laughter was light as a breeze, differing greatly from the heavy pressure he had exerted before.

He shook his head, “Don’t need to cloak me with righteousness, I killed him and it’s done. No one in Yu Ding Realm dares to bother me despite that.” “This person brutally murdered Fei Bowen and Mi Shuhua, both loyal and righteous heroes, especially Mi Shuhua, my benefactor, who was upright and willing to help others. If he can kill even such righteous men without hesitation, he is undeniably on the Path of Demon.”

“Elder, by expelling the evil, you have undoubtedly created a legend that will be remembered!

“Even the Yu Ding Sword Sect would surely take pride in you!”

When these words came out of his mouth, Luo Tianhong and Miao Wen were taken aback.

Especially Miao Wen, it seemed familiar to him.

It was as if back then when he went to Crescent Valley to rescue Luo Chen, he was generously praised for nothing in return.

But this flattery might have been misplaced.

Elder Pang, known to be incorruptible, is not usually this…

“Haha, you do have a way with words.”

Pang Renxiong laughed heartily. “But you’re not wrong about this person having fallen into the demonic path, everyone shall want him dead.”

Following that, without turning his head, he ordered, “Miao Wen, Tianhong, spread the tale of today. Speak of how the demonic cultivator responsible for the murders of Fei Bowen, an Ailao Mountain cultivator, and Mi Shuhua, the gang leader of the Broken Mountain Gang, was slain by me at the Lancang river.”

“Ah, make the story a bit more dramatic, remember?”

Luo Tianhong hesitated for a moment, then promptly complied.

Miao Wen also hastily agreed, although he felt sullen inside.

Wasn’t Elder Pang known to dislike flattery?

Moreover, he seemed unlike others who sought fame… perhaps, there were other intentions at play?

Miao Wen and Luo Tianhong exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

With their intelligence as Foundation Establishment Cultivators and the understanding of their situation, they quickly understood the matter at hand.

There’s no doubt about it.

This move of the Elder was not for his personal glory.

But for the honor of the Yu Ding Sword Sect.

After all, the demonic cultivator had framed the Yu Ding Sword Sect for the murder of Fei Bowen, even provoking the Supreme Elder of Ailao Mountain to pursue justice from the Yu Ding Sword Sect personally.

Spreading this news would not only restore the reputation of the Yu Ding Sword Sect but would also give an explanation to Ailao Mountain!

Having understood this, Miao Wen’s gaze towards Luo Chen became strange. This young man, whether intentionally or unintentionally, sure knows how to flatter masterfully.

After giving the order, Pang Renxiong turned his gaze towards the pale-faced Luo Chen.

“You, too, deserve credit for this battle. Without that Soul Seed guide, I doubt we would have been able to find this beast so quickly.1

“Seeing that you’re at the late stage of Qi Refinement, you must be feeling frustrated for not progressing to Qi Refinement Finalization, right?

Luo Chen opened his mouth only for delight to overtake him.

He immediately replied: “Yes!”

Standing behind Pang Renxiong, Miao Wen gave Luo Chen a deep glance.

He hadn’t noticed that Luo Chen had advanced to the Ninth Level Qi Refinement.

Assuming Luo Chen to still be at the Eighth Level Qi Refinement as during their skirmish at Crescent Valley, this lad’s hiding his abilities well and have many tricks up his sleeve!

While pondering this, a voice came from Pang Renxiong above his head.

“Huh?”

“Huh what? I don’t have any First Order Spirit Pills but since you surely do, hand him a few bottles.”

Miao Wen sullenly replied, “I don’t have any First Order Spirit Pills either, all I have are five bottles of Second Order Spirit Pills.”

“Even Second Order can be used, give them all to Luo Chen!” Pang Renxiong casually replied.

Miao Wen could only reluctantly take out the five bottles of Spirit Pills from his Storage Bag and throw them to Luo Chen.

Holding the five jade bottles, Luo Chen was still somewhat in disbelief.

Was this elder always so generous?

Offense Magic Item, Defense Magic Item, casually giving them away to young disciples of the sect.

Back then, he thought it was merely elder’s support to his juniors.

Who would have thought there would be benefits even for him, a rogue cultivator like him?

These are Spirit Pills!

Special elixirs that can purify one’s spirit power. Mi Shuhua had once mentioned it to him.

Products of the Medicine King Sect, they are not available for everyday purchase and only occasionally auctioned off.

For late-stage cultivators of Qi Refinement, they were seen as top-tier elixirs! Even Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Cultivators could use these pills.

However…

Raising his head, Luo Chen said, “Elder, I might not be able to use Second Order Spirit Pills yet.”

Pang Renxiong chuckled, “That’s simple. Being a Pill Refiner, you must know Simplicity Hand, right?”

Luo Chen hesitated before nodding. Indeed, he knew this pill technique. Simplicity Hand, specifically employed to handle herbal medicine.

“In that case, there’s no problem. Spirit Pills are essentially semi-finished pills made from spirit fruit. The powers of a First Order pill can be obtained by decomposing it with Simplicity Hand.”

“A Second Order Spirit Pill is equivalent to ten First Order Spirit Pills.”

It’s that simple?

Luo Chen was rendered speechless, finding the whole thing unimaginable.

So Spirit Pills are not pure elixirs, but semi-processed pills made from spiritual fruit. Who knew the world contained such pill refinement procedures?

In his delight, Luo Chen immediately expressed his gratitude towards Pang Renxiong, and out of courtesy, even thanked a sullen-faced Miao Wen. However, upon hearing his gratitude, Pang Renxiong just waved his hand dismissively.
