Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 807: Chapter 333: Dual Path? Nothing to Fear!_2

Chu Kui couldn’t help but look at Luo Chen, “Speaking of which, since she invited you, you’re not also planning to fight a few rounds on the platform, are you?”

He acknowledged the abilities of the Fire Spirit Lord.

But if it involved a fight between those at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, he wasn’t so optimistic.

Luo Chen looked at him with a half-smile.

“Forgot my other title?”

Chu Kui was startled.

Then he laughed at himself.

“I did forget, you were initially known as Dan Chenzi.”

…

“Dan Chenzi?”

“Interesting, interesting!”

“A mere Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator actually has dual titles, is it really that easy to get by in the world of Rogue Cultivators now?”

Atop Yu Xuan Mountain.

He Yuanqing looked at the information about Luo Chen collected by the people below and couldn’t help but laugh.

He already knew that Luo Chen was not a candidate for the fighting matches, but rather a Pill Refiner invited by Tao Wen in desperation after Huang Hezi’s defection in the face of battle.

He was likely meant for the second round of the Pill Refinement Competition.

Thinking of him as just a Pill Refiner who struggled up from the ranks of Rogue Cultivators, He Yuanqing didn’t pay much attention initially.

But upon seeing in the intelligence report that his own clan’s He Yun had had dealings with Luo Chen,

He Yuanqing’s gaze became fixed.

“Summon He Yun to me.”

“Young Clan Chief, Xuan Yunzi has recently been deeply immersed in the study of Pill Refinement Technique, preparing for the Pill Refinement Competition.”

He Yuanqing’s gaze turned cold.

“Do you think I don’t know that a competition in Pill Technique depends on accumulation?”

“How much can last-minute practice really improve?”

“Quickly bring him to me!”

The He Family Cultivator no longer argued and hurriedly ran out with his head down.

About the time it takes for a cup of tea later.

Xuan Yunzi He Yun, one of the Qingdan Seven Sons, arrived outside with an annoyed look on his face.

“Cloud Brother, the Young Clan Chief is waiting for you inside.”

“Alright, you can go now!”

He waved his hand to dismiss the servant, Xuan Yunzi took a deep breath, and squeezed a smile onto his face.

He pushed the door and entered.

“Yuanqing Brother, what do you need me for?”

He Yuanqing’s eyes scrutinized him and after a careful look, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

“He Yun, have you decided to follow in Huang Hezi’s footsteps, so engrossed in Pill Refinement that you no longer care about Cultivation?”

Xuan Yunzi said matter-of-factly, “The Dao of Alchemy is vast and profound; I have barely glimpsed the tip of the iceberg. If I don’t dedicate all my energy to it, how can I talk about becoming a Pill Refinement Grandmaster.”

“Besides, with my mediocre talents, achieving Foundation Establishment is already due to the clan’s full support; how dare I foolishly dream about the way of the Golden Core.”

“With you, Brother Yuanqing, as the family’s White Jade pillar, that’s enough. I just need to apply my Pill Technique to contribute to the clan!”

He spoke unhurriedly, eloquently evoking imagery.

Listening to him was like a breath of fresh spring air!

The smile on He Yuanqing’s face was no longer hidden.

“You have this mindset, excellent!”

“When I seize the position of a Seed Cultivator and take control of Qingdan Valley in the future, I will certainly summon you to the Tai Dan Court!”

At the mention of the “Tai Dan Court,”

Xuan Yunzi’s face showed delight.

“I will do my utmost to help you win the Pill Refinement Competition!”

“I believe in your Pill Technique. Although you are a rising star, aside from Dan Yangzi who can suppress you, none of the other five sons are your match!”

“You flatter me, Brother Yuanqing, I can only promise to do my best!”

After some courteous exchange between brothers,

He Yuanqing suddenly said, “Do you know of Dan Chenzi Luo Chen?”

At the mention of Luo Chen’s name,

Xuan Yunzi’s expression inadvertently stiffened for a moment but quickly, he nodded.

“Indeed I know him; he’s a rather interesting friend.”

“Just ‘rather interesting’?” He Yuanqing asked back, looking at the bewildered Xuan Yunzi, he spoke bluntly, “He is also participating in the Pill Refinement Competition, replacing Tao Wen. Do you have any insight into his Pill Refinement capabilities?”

So it was about this matter!

Xuan Yunzi sighed with relief.

Then, stroking his chin, he said, “Luo Chen earned the name Dan Chenzi because his Pill Refinement Technique is certainly not bad. As far as I know, he is adept at crafting a type of First Order Pill, easily achieving Ascendant Grade.”

“Easily achieving First Order Ascendant Grade!”

He Yuanqing exclaimed, his face showing an undeniable surprise.

In Pill Refinement, crafting First Order or even Second Order pills isn’t unusual.

But if one can consistently achieve High Grade Pills, that’s somewhat terrifying.

It indicates not just talent,

But also a rigorous practice that has been hammered and refined.

His Pill Refinement Technique has been polished to be exceedingly solid!

Nowadays, most of the Qingdan Seven Sons would find it difficult to reach this level.

They yearn to craft higher Order Elixirs, and they don’t pay much attention to the repetitive and uninteresting Low-grade Pills.

Only those brothers in the Tai Dan Court at Danyang Peak, who study Pill Technique day and night and are over 200 years old, possess such mastery!

Xuan Yunzi offhandedly added, “The pill is called the Jade Marrow Pill, I’ve tested it myself, and an Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pill is roughly equivalent to the Medicine King Sect’s Lower Grade Qi Nurturing Pill at most.”

“Ah!”

“So that’s how it is!”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

He Yuanqing clearly relaxed.

A pill that only achieves Ascendant Grade but corresponds to a Lower Grade Qi Nurturing Pill must be one of those inferior products circulating outside.

In terms of refinement, there’s hardly any difficulty.

Any attentive person from Qingdan Valley could achieve that level.

With that said, Luo Chen wasn’t much of a threat after all.

The title of Dan Chenzi was probably just a sign of respect from the incapable among the Rogue Cultivators, seeing that he could refine pills.

In which case, there wasn’t much to worry about on Tao Wen’s end.

With the anxiety gone from his heart,

He Yuanqing smiled and said, “I have a great assurance of clinching the first round, and I’ll also collaborate with others to exhaust Dan Yangzi Senior Brother as much as possible to create favorable conditions for you. Don’t disappoint me then!”
