Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 544: Chapter 231: Repelling the Five Foundation Establishments_2

Min Family Array?

Luo Chen gave him a glance, nodding with satisfaction.

“Off you go then!”

Upon receiving his assignment, Min Longyu left excitedly.

Observing his swift and uninhibited demeanour, it seemed he did not want to delay at all.

Luo Chen, too, was looking forward to the big array he would lay out.

From Shi Lan, he knew just how impressive the Min Family’s array had been at its inception!

It withstood a siege from enemies several times their own number, for a whole year.

If it weren’t for the Min Family’s supplies being cut off, and their foundation not being able to hold, they could have endured longer.

Min Longyu’s accomplishments in the Path of Array owed much to his study of that Second Order array from a young age.

“Even though it’s only Second Order, it could be comparable to Third Order.”

“If we have this array protecting us, the Luo Tian Creed would indeed be impregnable without the emergence of a Golden Core!”

Luo Chen muttered a sentence, then proceeded to climb the mountain.

…

Within the mountains.

Li Yixian and Nangong Jin leisurely strolled.

Their feet on the stone path of the mountains, their eyes took in the tall pines and cypresses, tranquil and luxuriant.

The Green Steel Woods and Golden Phoenix Woods were shadows among them, making this mountain view a paradise on earth.

Down the mountain, extensive areas of fire maple trees spread out like clouds.

“Ah…”

“Why does Friend Li sigh?”

Li Yixian stopped walking and looked at the Spirit Qi-filled cave within the mountain.

“I sigh because Luo Chen and I are both from The Great River District. We should have been cautious upon arrival in this strange territory. Yet, he acts without restraint and easily secured a piece of cultivation land for the Luo Tian Creed.”

“Luo Chen is indeed extraordinary,” declared Nangong Jin.

Li Yixian shook his head, “It’s more than just extraordinary. Do you know how high the annual rent for this Danxia Peak is?”

Nangong Jin curiously looked at him.

These past weeks, he had only been in the Immortal Mansion healing his injuries; he really hadn’t paid much attention.

“Before, in order to find a place for the Li Family clan members, I made multiple inquiries in the Binglan Palace. That’s how I came to know the situation of many Spirit Lands in the vicinity of Tianlan City.”

“Those Spirit Lands are alarmingly expensive, easily costing thousands of Spirit Stones a year.”

Li Yixian paused, looking at the stone slab beneath his feet.

“This Danxia Peak is the cream of the crop. The rent alone for a year costs fifteen thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.”

“So expensive?”

“Exactly, and the minimum lease is for ten years!”

Nangong Jin drew a sharp breath.

He shook his head repeatedly, “Amazing, Luo Chen really has great resources!”

“Indeed, he has great resources. Didn’t you also see he bought a new large-scale Flying Boat? That grade…”

His words stopped.

Li Yixian smiled bitterly, “I don’t even know what to do with the Li Family.”

Nangong Jin comforted, “Don’t worry too much. Everything will get better.”

Will it get better?

Li Yixian didn’t know the answer.

She only knew that ever since leaving The Great River District, she felt overburdened.

It felt like everything was beyond her control.

While the two were conversing.

A voice transmission fell into their ears.

At the same time.

A robust and stern voice rang out from outside the mountain.

“Fei Changqiu from the Divine Craft Clan has come to pay respects!”

Li Yixian and Nangong Jin looked at each other, their expressions slightly changed.

They knew why Luo Chen didn’t let them take action before.

Now, it was time for them to step up.

…

“Geng Lie and Geng Shuzhen from the Geng Family have come to pay their respects!”

Outside Danxia Peak.

Once again, a large group of cultivators gathered.

Contrary to before, this time the Luo Tian Creed was the defender.

Luo Chen emerged from the crowd, his eyes coldly fixated on the opponents.

Three Foundation Establishment Stages of the Divine Craft Clan.

Two Foundation Establishment Stages of the Geng Family.

All in the early Foundation Establishment Stage, together they made up a formidable force.

He, however, merely laughed coldly.

“What brings all of you here?”

Fei Changqiu narrowed his eyes, studying Luo Chen.

Standing alone against five Foundation Establishment Stages, yet appearing so composed?

Considering his subordinate’s battle power comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Stage… it still shouldn’t warrant this confidence!

He steadied his mind, ready to open his mouth.

Angry voices came from behind.

“What do you mean?”

“Boy, this Danxia Peak is not a place you should set your sights on. If you’re smart, take your old, weak, sick, and disabled and get lost.”

Fei Changqiu looked at Lu Rong bewilderedly.

He didn’t understand why Lu Rong was so furious.

Luo Chen glanced at Lu Rong, sneering, “Did you sweep the place clean? Your words are so dirty.”

“You!”

“Enough!”

Fei Changqiu cut off Lu Rong’s words and said calmly, “Friend Luo Chen, it’s not easy to get a taste of this Danxia Peak as you have. Inside, there are properties of my Divine Craft Clan and the Geng Family. Your forcible occupation is somewhat unjust.”

“Unjust?”

Luo Chen scoffed, “Why don’t you tell the Binglan Palace cultivators this instead? I got this place with real money, through rent.”

“Furthermore, you have likely not paid the Spirit Stones for all the years you’ve freeloaded here to Tianlan Immortal City!”

“If I were to reveal this matter…”

Fei Changqiu’s expression slightly shifted, and he immediately rebuked,

“You dare!”

“What wouldn’t I dare!”

Fei Changqiu’s eyes narrowed, emitting a dangerous light as he fixed his gaze on Luo Chen.

Behind him, Lu Rong along with another Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator were ready for action.

“Do you know that once you rent the land outside, you are responsible for its security? Even the Enforcement Team from Tianlan Immortal City will not interfere?”

“Threatening me?”

Luo Chen grinned, revealing a raw set of white teeth.

He slowly raised his hand.

The next moment.

On Danxia Peak, two powerful Foundation Establishment Stage Spirit Power Fluctuations arose.

And, a black figure stepped forward, fearlessly standing behind Luo Chen.

Fei Changqiu’s face shifted dramatically.

The faces of the two Foundation Establishment Stages from the Geng Family also changed slightly.
