Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 709: Chapter 292 Who is in the Hall, pleading to this official!_1

In a side hall of Binglan Palace,

Accompanied by Shi Boying, Luo Chen met Dan Taijun who had been avoiding him.

Looking at her indifferent demeanor, Luo Chen felt mixed feelings.

He didn’t beat around the bush but said directly, “Thank you, Friend Dan Tai, for your assistance in the battle of Qin Flower River!”

Upon hearing this,

Shi Boying was greatly surprised.

Wait a minute, didn’t his little disciple sister say she wouldn’t care about Luo Chen?

Why did she quietly go to Qin Flower River and even help him?

Dan Taijun’s expression slightly changed, but she soon realized how Luo Chen got the information.

She lightly said, “I didn’t intervene in anything, so where is this help coming from? Besides, you paid Chu Kui to help, whether I was there or not doesn’t matter.”

Luo Chen laughed and shook his head.

“I appreciate your kindness and will remember it”

During the initial battle of Qin Flower River, not only Cultivator Huang Sha was watching as a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator.

What if all of them were tempted and wanted to play the green woodpecker?

Although Chu Kui was strong, he couldn’t fight with all four hands.

The most he could do was to help him, Luo Chen, and that’s it.

Even for this, Luo Chen had to pay at least hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.

But it was Dan Taijun’s secret intervention that deterred some people from taking any action, which prevented such a situation from happening.

Even if this matter is because of the business prospects of the Jade Dew Pill,

Luo Chen still understood Dan Taijun’s goodwill.

Dan Taijun pulled up a corner of her mouth and did not linger on this matter.

She turned her head and pointed to the side.

“Wait here, listen attentively and do not make any noise!”

“What’s next door?” Luo Chen was curious.

Dan Taijun lightly spit out a name: “Qingdan Valley Foundation Establishment True Disciple, Tao Wen!”

Luo Chen was startled.

It’s from Qingdan Valley!

Aren’t they here to take over Tian Lan Immortal City?

As Tao Wen, a late-stage foundation establishment great cultivator, personally came here, his future role should be similar to that of Dan Taijun.

They are the real leaders of Tianlan under the Golden Core Sect.

Not only in control of the Enforcement Team leaders, but also leading the Qingdan Valley Cultivators in Tian Lan Immortal City.

Is he about to meet someone next door?

While he was secretly guessing, there was a crisp sound of footsteps in the main hall next door.

Before long, an old voice rang out.

“Iron Sword Hall Head, Zuo Song, pays homage to Tao’s True Disciple.”

Then, an arrogant voice responded.

“Zuo Hall Head, why not stay in your Iron Sword Hall, what brings you here?”

Zuo Song unexpectedly answered, “Didn’t your friends in Qingdan Valley report to you what I am here for?”

“Humph, how do I know whether what they said is true or not?”

In the main hall, Zuo Song, who stood tall and erect like a sword, furrowed his brows.

But since he was the one asking for a favor, he relayed his intentions directly.

“The recent actions of Luo Tian Creed have been too blatant.”

“Especially that Luo Chen, not only slaughtering his fellow disciples, but also condoning his subordinates’ arson and looting of weaker forces.”

“Tao True Disciple may not know, but under his command are two who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, one ruthlessly hunted down disciples of Tianying Peak, while the other heartlessly annihilated hundreds of Qi Refinement cultivators from the Geng Family with a large formation!”

“Such behavior, isn’t it no different from the Path of Demon?”

“Can we just ignore such a villain?”

In the side hall next door,

Luo Chen’s face darkened instantly.

He knew someone would use actions of Xing Zonghan and Min Longyu to cause trouble, but he didn’t expect the accusations to be so sharp.

They directly moved it right in front of the future master of Tianlan Immortal City.

Moreover, he doesn’t recollect having any enmity with this Zuo Song from the Iron Sword Hall!

If Tao Wen believes these slanders, then Luo Tian Creed would face…

Wait a minute!

Luo Chen suddenly had a thought and glanced at Dan Taijun from the corner of his eye.

She seemed completely unconcerned, as if she had no interest in this matter at all.

Moreover, they had purposely invited him to go through this once.

Was this a gesture of goodwill?

While he was deep in thought, the accusations from the neighboring hall continued.

“In Yu Ding Realm, we never condone demonic cultivators.”

“For this matter, I believe Qingdan Valley, as the future masters of Immortal City for ten years, should manage it.”

Zuo Song stated his grievances passionately with strong righteousness.

However, upon hearing his accusations,

Tao Wen sneered, “Zuo Song! Are you trying to dictate how I work?”

In an instant,

Zuo Song’s passionate mood was doused as if with cold water.

He struggled to respond, “Not…”

“There is no ‘not’ about it. The victim himself hasn’t said anything, so what are you, Iron Sword Hall, doing by jumping out and pointing fingers.”

The victims are almost dead!

Zuo Song had a dazed expression.

He reflexively defended himself, “As a part of Tianlan, I feel obligated to stand up for justice.”

Tao Wen retorted scornfully: “When did you become a part of Tianlan? This Tianlan Immortal City belongs to our seven great sects, you should be clear about your position.”

At this point, her tone suddenly changed.

“Alright. Your Iron Sword Hall and the Flame Alliance seem to have some connections and shared history, haven’t they?”

Upon hearing these words, Zuo Song trembled.

Qingdan Valley had already sided with Luo Yun Sect, even getting into several confrontations with the Flame Alliance, a subordinate of Sword Sect.

Even true disciples in the foundation establishment stage have fallen.

The two sects are enemies, not friends!

Not many people know about the connections between his Iron Sword Hall and the Flame Alliance.

But now it fell into the eyes of the future master of Immortal City.

What if she took the chance to start a fight…

Without realizing, cold sweat had already soaked Zuo Song’s back.

He started to have trouble hearing what Tao Wen was saying afterward.

All he knew was the other party said, “Tianlan is still under the control of the Ice Castle. If you have any issues, go find Dan Taijun and stop bothering me!”

Were they kidding?

Everyone knew that the Ice Castle is the backup for Luo Tian Creed!

If they run into trouble, the other party might not interfere.

But showing up without provocation was akin to slapping the Ice Castle in the face.

Did they take the Golden Core Great Sect lightly?

Confusing thoughts made Zuo Song look foolish when he left the Binglan Palace.

This was not what he imagined!

Shouldn’t he report the wrongdoings of Luo Tian Creed, and then have the future ruler of the Immortal City take fierce action to suppress them?

Moreover, Luo Tian Creed also operates first-order cultivation pills, silently taking over part of Qingdan Valley’s Yellow Dragon Pill business.

Didn’t they care about this either?

He had handed them reason to act on a silver platter. Even the Ice Castle couldn’t protect them when the other party has a well-grounded reason!

What exactly is Qingdan Valley’s Tao Wen thinking?

Meanwhile, inside Binglan Palace.

Tao Wen looked at Luo Chen with a half-hearted smile, “Friend Luo, we haven’t seen each other for two years. Have you been well?”

Luo Chen looked calm, “Thank you, True Disciple Tao, for your righteous help.”

“This is a trivial matter. It can’t be counted as righteous help. If you want to thank someone, thank Dan Tai!”

Luo Chen looked at Dan Taijun.

The latter just shook his head and said indifferently, “Winners take all. That’s all there is to it.”

Luo Chen suddenly understood.

When Luo Tian Creed was in crisis, Ice Castle didn’t bother to make a move.

But they had won, which was a small proof of their strength.

In such a situation, the other party didn’t mind adding a bit of icing on the cake.

“The reason I called you here today was actually to tell you about another matter,” Dan Taijun suddenly said.

Luo Chen opened his eyes wide, looking curiously at the other party.

Under his gaze, Dan Taijun glanced at Tao Wen and then said:

“Over the next ten years, the Immortal City will still be under the control of Ice Castle. As for the cooperation on the Jade Dew Pill, we will continue!”

The cold voice entered his ears.

Luo Chen was a bit dazed for a moment.

What happened to the ten-year rotation of the Great Sects?

And aren’t you in the process of transitioning?

Suddenly!

Luo Chen remembered the first time he met Dan Taijun and Golden Core Ascendant Master Jueqing Fairy.

In both sessions, regarding the cooperation on Jade Dew Pill, they always calculated the cooperation period in decades!

It seemed, they hadn’t taken into consideration the rotation of the Immortal City and whether they would leave or not.

From the beginning, they were certain they could maintain the partnership!

In other words, Qingdan Valley giving up the interests of the Immortal City over the next ten years, was preplanned. And only recently was it implemented.

From beside him, Dan Taijun’s leisurely voice was heard.

“Luo Tian Creed will truly be under the protection of my Jueqing’s Clan in the future. After you have settled everything, try to refine more Jade Dew Pills.”

“The annual quota supplied before, is too small!”

That was the key!

After understanding all this, Luo Chen took a deep breath.

“I won’t let you down, Friend!”

…

With Shi Boying’s company, Luo Chen left the Binglan Palace.

Facing the dazzling sunlight, Luo Chen felt as if he had finally been freed from chains.

The external enemie(s) had left!

Luo Tian Creed has already built a solid foundation for all various industries.

And now, they also have the protection of Jueqing’s Clan!

From now on, he doesn’t have to worry about any significant issues anymore.

As long as he handles the recent issues, once Sima Huiniang finishes her retreat, he can lay down his various chores, and concentrate on cultivation and pill refinement.

While taking a walk, Luo Chen casually spoke to Shi Boying about the events of the day.

What he was interested in was the second-order high-grade cultivation pills of Ice Castle!

However, the answer he received was both unexpected and logical.

“Our Ice Castle can’t refine pills. We rely on the supplies from Medicine King Sect and Qingdan Valley. Occasionally we have a few high-grade pills, but those are not enough to meet the demands.”

“In this case, even if there were some, none of them will fall into our hands.”

So that’s how it is!

Although slightly surprised, Luo Chen understood.

Otherwise, Dan Taijun and even Golden Core Ascendant Master Jueqing Fairy wouldn’t value his Jade Dew Pills that much.

But in this case, where would he find the high-grade cultivation pills?

“Tao Wen?”

Thinking about Tao Wen who came to his rescue today, Luo Chen had an idea.

As an accomplished Pill Refinement Sect, even if it’s not as good as Medicine King Sect, they surely won’t lack high-grade pills in Qingdan Valley!

Perhaps, he could try to pull some strings there?

But she is proud and aloof, how can he approach her?

Her younger brother, Tao Yisheng?

Or should he discover her hobbies, as he did with Ice Castle before, cater to those and build a closer relationship?

While Luo Chen was lost in thought, Shi Boying excused himself and left.

Standing at the entrance of Binglan Palace, Luo Chen sighed.

“Well!”

“The external threat has been temporarily lifted, I have to take care of these internal problems one at a time.”

Just as he was about to return to Danxia Peak.

He suddenly felt a chill.

Following a certain direction, Luo Chen looked up.

On the third floor of a wine shop, a man with a red forehead and a broad sword on his back was looking at him intensely.

His eyes were full of surprise.

With Luo Chen’s excellent eyesight, he could also see the dark clouds on the man’s face.

Luo Chen smiled, nodded towards the direction.

Zuo Song, head of Iron Sword Hall, though uncomfortable, managed to squeeze out a smile in response to Luo Chen.
