Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 754: Chapter 311 Things remain the same, people are different, heaven and earth are very different_2

Sima Huiniang combed strands of her hair back.

She was dressed in a simple white gown, devoid of any adornments, without even the simplest makeup on her face.

In contrast with the usual expression of majesty, her beautiful face exuded a rare aura of warmth at this moment.

Luo Chen looked at Sima Huiniang’s beautiful cheeks and nodded appreciatively.

“Indeed, you have not disappointed me. Although it took some time, your cultivation base is steady and solid, without any trace of instability. It seems the ‘Water Tower’ cultivation technique of that Rogue Cultivator suits you well.”

Even though she knew Luo Chen was evaluating her cultivation base…

She still felt shy under his intense gaze.

For some reason…

Her emotions had been fluctuating since the morning.

It was not nervousness, but anticipation.

Perhaps, it was because she was going to make a grand appearance in front of numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Or maybe, it was because, supported by Luo Chen, she was going to officially enter the circle of Foundation Establishment Phase?

She moistened her lips and said softly, “This was not my own achievement. I’m grateful for the Jade Dew Pills you bestowed upon me.”

Luo Chen shook his head.

“Your responsibilities today are significant. Apart from sharing your insights about Foundation Establishment, the main focus lies in your interaction with representatives of various major powers later.”

Mentioning her responsibilities…

The girlishness that had fleetingly appeared disappeared in an instant.

Sima Huiniang quickly stepped into her role.

“Rest assured!”

“I have a profound understanding of the information about the major forces and the life preferences of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”

“I will definitely fulfill my duties satisfactorily today!”

Luo Chen smiled faintly, “I hope that after today, your name shall become widely known throughout Tianlan. The Luo Tian Creed shall also truly soar to greater heights.”

“I, too, wish that!”

Luo Chen stood up and walked towards the door.

“I’m going to meet those people beforehand. You should also get ready!”

His gentle and magnetic voice gradually faded away…

Yet, it seemed to linger by her ear.

Sima Huiniang took a deep breath and stood up.

She sent a voice transmission.

Soon, footsteps were heard from outside the chamber.

“Come in!”

Several female cultivators entered, led by Gu Caiyi, each holding a jade tray.

A young girl held a feather duster on one side, while a boy held an Autumn Water Treasure Sword on the other.

Upon seeing Sima Huiniang, everyone bowed in unison and exclaimed,

“Greetings, President!”

“Begin!”

Without further hesitation, Gu Caiyi waved her hand, and the female cultivators from the Golden Hall gathered around.

They started with the drawing of eyebrows and laid the foundation makeup, followed by the makeup that brought out her natural beauty.

Her long, black hair was combed, hanging down to her slender waist.

A detailed, openwork lotus crown, adorned with tassels, was carefully placed on her head.

Matched with white earrings, they chimed with her movements.

Finally, Sima Huiniang extended her arms.

A female cultivator brought forward a beautiful white dress traced with subtle blue flowers.

As she put on the dress, her long, taut legs were hidden from view.

The dress hugged her curvaceous figure splendidly.

Gu Caiyi took a step back, surprise flashing in her eyes.

The previous elegance had transformed into regal aloofness that was truly imposing – a temperament best fit for the President of the Luo Tian Creed!

“Is it ready?” Sima Huiniang asked lightly.

Gu Caiyi bit her lip, “I need to adjust the jade earrings a bit, please wait.”

She approached Sima Huiniang, meticulously adjusting the earrings for her.

In her past life, Sima Huiniang, who always kept a low profile, seldom dressed up.

She had seldom used female cultivator’s accessories such as earrings.

Therefore, Gu Caiyi, who excelled at fashion and personal grooming, took charge of preparing Sima Huiniang for the grand ceremony.

As she adjusted the earrings, Gu Caiyi praised, “This robe can change styles and really suits you, President!”

“Is that so?”

A smile spread across Sima Huiniang’s indifferent face.

“I think so too! The President’s discerning taste in clothes is the same as his judgement of people and matters – exceptional indeed!”

Gu Caiyi’s hand paused a bit.

“The President gave it to you?”

“Yes, it’s a top-grade robe produced by Tianyi District, acquired at the Xuelian Hall Auction.”

Unknowingly, Gu Caiyi had stopped her work.

Sima Huiniang smoothed out a non-existent wrinkle in her robe, walked gracefully, and exited the chamber.

The young boy and girl, holding the sword and feather duster, quickly followed her.

The female cultivators hurriedly gathered up the jade trays containing the makeup and jewelry and followed closely behind.

Today will be the most glorious day in her cultivation life!

…

Luo Chen left his quarters, stepping into the solemn and majestic Hui Xin Hall.

As he strolled, a smile slowly formed on his calm face.

By the time he arrived at Hui Xin Hall, his face was full of smiles, making people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.

“Elder Zhou, it has been many years since we last met at the Great River. I’ve heard that not only have you deepened your cultivation, but you’ve also been promoted to the position of one of the four elders of the Lianyun Business Union. This is, indeed, a cause for celebration!”

Faced with Luo Chen’s enthusiasm.

Zhou Qing, who was reminiscing with Min Longyu, was slightly taken aback for a moment.

He coughed dryly, forcing a smile.

“That’s nothing compared to you, Luo Chen. You started from scratch and built such a foundation. Even though we are of the same generation, I have deep admiration for you!”

Looking at Zhou Qing’s insincere words.

Luo Chen gave a faint smile, not caring in the slightest. After instructing Min Longyu to attend to him properly.

He greeted Wei Bufan who came over.

Wei Bufan seemed not to care about their past resentments at all.

After all, it was Wei Bufan who benefited the most when Luo Chen killed Wei Tuo!

Now in Xuchen Mountain, he reigns supreme, with all sorts of resources and wealth all belonging to him.

In a way, he should be thanking Luo Chen.

“Fire Spirit Lord, let me introduce you to these fellow cultivators.”

“This is Chang Dongliu from Changliu Gorge!”

“This one is White Beard from Yu Hua Pavilion!”

“This one is…”

One by one, the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, under the introduction of Wei Bufan, greeted Luo Chen enthusiastically.

Luo Chen was not shy either. He kept talking politely with a smile that never faded.

When he heard the announcement outside.

He clasped his hands together, “Please feel at home, everyone. Some fellows have arrived, I need to go and welcome them.”

Having said that.

Naturally, no one stopped him.

Danxia Peak was his territory.

By rights, he should not be the one doing these tasks.

But the host of today’s celebration is Sima Huiniang, and the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators from Luo Tian Creed are not qualified enough.

Only Luo Chen, who has established himself as the Fire Spirit Lord, being a leader of a group, can interact with these people on an equal footing.

He strode out.

In no time, he returned to the main hall accompanied by a beautiful female cultivator wearing a wide sleeve flowing fairy skirt.

Seeing this woman, the eyes of many Foundation Establishment True Cultivators brightened.

The Chen Family of Tianyi District City, that’s definitely a major Immortal Cultivation clan!

They single-handedly manage a large market, and within the clan, there are several Foundation Establishment cultivators, even the elder ancestors are Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.

Their status, wealth, and strength all far surpass everyone in the hall.

For a while, everyone surrounded Luo Chen and Chen Xiuli, engaging in enthusiastic conversation.

In a corner.

Zhou Qing, after a brief interaction with others, returned to Li Yixian and Nangong Jin.

The arrogance he had before coming here had long since dissipated.

At this moment, only a trace of solemnity remained.

Looking at Luo Chen, who like the moon among stars, stood out in the crowd, with ease.

He sighed.

“Indeed, objects and people are different, the world has turned upside down!”

“The Qi Refinement cultivator who once came to me voluntarily for some medicinal herbs is now a big figure.”

Nangong Jin took over the conversation, feeling very emotional.

“Isn’t it!”

“Back then, he planned with me many times to deal with Duan Qiankun.”

“Looking back now, he had already shown signs of being a great connoisseur back then!”

Li Yixian didn’t speak.

Her beautifully haunting eyes followed Luo Chen’s figure, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.

Once, they were inseparable.

Now, she couldn’t even find an opportunity to exchange a few words.

At that moment.

The voice calling from outside started to ring intermittently.

“Left Head of the Iron Sword Hall, congratulates President Luo Chen on achieving Foundation Establishment, presents a Top Grade Flying Sword as a congratulatory gift!”

“Family Head (Luo Feng) of Luosha District from Luo Family, congratulates President Luo Chen on achieving Foundation Establishment, presents Pure Xuan Iron as a congratulatory gift!”

“Senior Qiao Xiyue from Peach Mountain, congratulates President Luo Chen on achieving Foundation Establishment, presents Cloud Stream Sleeve as a congratulatory gift!”

Before the words fell.

The hall was completely silent.

This is a coalition of three major forces with Late-Stage Great Cultivators in charge!

Especially that Peach Mountain, which is a property of Peach Blossom Ancestor from Hundred Flowers Palace, they actually sent someone to congratulate as well?

Suddenly, loud laughter echoed, by Luo Chen, his face full of smiles, eyes shimmering.

“It is a joy to have fellow cultivators coming from far away!”

“Please come in and have a cup of water wine!”
