Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 832: Chapter 342: Recruitment from All Sides, Scramble for the Golden Core

The first time he ascended to Heaven Palace.

Amid the throng of Pill Refiners, no one paid attention to the nobody that he was.

The second time he ascended to Heaven Palace.

He was none other than Dan Chenzi, the one who had bested the Qingdan Seven Sons and topped the competition three times in a row!

Upon his recent arrival, a host of curious and admiring gazes fell upon him.

Those were from Foundation Establishment Disciples of other Sects.

Regarding those gazes, Luo Chen didn’t pay much attention.

All he cared about was the attitude of the Golden Core Ascendant Masters.

And the very thing he wished to see had appeared at the first opportunity.

“Dan Chenzi, please take a seat!”

Though the term “friend” was not used, neither was he addressed by his given name.

A Daoist honorific in itself signified tremendous respect for a cultivator!

Looking at the amiable middle-aged man, Luo Chen bowed with hands clasped, “Thank you, Supreme Qingyun!”

After speaking, he took his seat at the last chair under the watchful eyes of all the Golden Core Ascendant Masters.

Seeing his composed manner, Qing Yunzi nodded approvingly.

“Neither servile nor overbearing, unflustered by honor or disgrace, indeed a fine talent.”

While he was exchanging pleasantries here, Ascendant Master Chi Ding was not so good-tempered.

“Dan Chenzi, what is your decision regarding my earlier proposition?”

The so-called proposition was nothing more than an invitation to join Tai Dan Court as a Guest Elder.

Interrupted by the interjection, Supreme Qingyun merely smiled, showing no signs of anger.

The Elder Brother might be sympathizing with the other’s Pill Refinement talent,

But from his point of view, it was indeed a good thing.

Luo Chen, having excelled above the Qingdan Seven Sons in Pill Refinement Technique, indeed had a reputation that left much to be desired.

But if he could become a part of Qingdan Valley,

Then it would be fine.

Therefore, he too looked at Luo Chen expectantly, smilingly awaiting his response.

At this moment, Luo Chen’s heart lifted.

Even though he had made up his mind, the consequences of rejecting Qingdan Valley in front of so many Golden Core Ascendant Masters were unpredictable.

But!

Soon, he no longer needed to make the decision himself.

“A young talent like Dan Chenzi would be just right for joining us at Ailao Mountain,” said an Ascendant Master from Ailao Mountain.

The Master of Food Fragrance from Hundred Flowers Palace smiled slightly, “Qing Yunzi, your Qingdan Valley has plenty of excellent Pill Refiners and won’t lack for one Dan Chenzi. How about letting him come to my Hundred Flowers Palace instead?”

Having said this, she did not look at Qing Yunzi’s stiff expression but turned to Luo Chen.

“Dan Chenzi, we have many Female Cultivators at Hundred Flowers Palace. Should you join us, I’ll arrange two exceptional Dao Companion Cultivators for you.”

“You can delve into the Dao of Alchemy and enjoy supreme delight. Wouldn’t that be splendid?”

Her recruitment was all too direct.

The conditions offered were indeed enticing.

The Ascendant Master from Ailao Mountain was getting anxious, “If you come to Ailao Mountain, I will personally forge an excellent Pill Room for you. Even after your Core Formation, I will procure Magic Item Level Alchemy Equipment for you. How about that?”

The Master of Food Fragrance’s eyebrows rose slightly.

As expected of the wealthy Ailao Mountain!

Even promising Magic Item Level Alchemy Equipment.

That’s not some inferior magic item but something that requires a specialized Tool Casting Master to personally craft!

Faced with the two of them jostling for him,

Ascendant Master Chi Ding puffed up his whiskers and glared, “You’re going too far. Luo Chen still bears the Tao Family’s bestowed status as an honorary servant in my Qingdan Valley; he’s already a part of us!”

“That’s merely a temporary honorary position,” chuckled the Master of Food Fragrance.

The Ascendant Master from Ailao Mountain also showed disdain, “If he comes to Ailao Mountain, Dan Chenzi will be an Elder!”

Ascendant Master Chi Ding hurriedly said, “If he joins Tai Dan Court, he will likewise be a Guest Elder.”

After speaking, he seriously looked toward Luo Chen.

“Dan Chenzi, think it over carefully!”

“Our Tai Dan Court has an abundance of Alchemy resources to offer you the greatest support.”

“As for your cultivation, there’s no need to worry. I can propose to the Sect that you be allowed to cultivate for one year every ten years in a Third Order Cave Mansion!”

At the announcement of such generous terms,

the Master of Food Fragrance from Hundred Flowers Palace and the Ascendant Master from Ailao Mountain were both astounded.

Although Third Order Spirit Lands were available, the Immortal Mansions suitable for cultivation were extremely rare.

Qingdan Valley might possess a large Third Order Spirit Land, but they had too many Golden Core Cultivators!

Could they actually spare one for Luo Chen?

Even if, it was only once every ten years, for just one year!

For a moment, even they began to hesitate.

Ascendant Master Chi Ding was smug; he didn’t believe Luo Chen could resist such terms.

And yet,

Luo Chen was indeed somewhat tempted.

Nevertheless, he still gave no answer, his gaze landing on a female cultivator.

Everyone followed his gaze.

It was the Ice Castle’s Ascendant Master, Jueqing Fairy.

Seeing this, several Golden Core Ascendant Masters furrowed their brows, showing some displeasure.

This Dan Chenzi seemed to be pushing his luck, haggling for better offers!

All three Great Sects had made enticing offers, and he was still not satisfied, actually intending to prompt Ice Castle to up their bid.

However, they were wrong!

“Stop arguing,”

said the Jueqing Fairy indifferently.

In their confusion, she uttered a few words.

“Dan Chenzi has always been one of us at Ice Castle.”

As this statement was made, everyone was stunned.

Ascendant Master Bai Su of Luojia Mountain covered her mouth with a smile.

“Sister Jueqing, your recruitment is rather domineering! While everyone is making their offers, you simply declare that Dan Chenzi is from your Ice Castle.”

“Snatching someone isn’t done this way!”

Faced with doubt,

Jueqing Fairy remained unperturbed.

“This is simply the truth. If you don’t believe it… Dan Chenzi, present your ‘Shang Hu Pill Formula’ for everyone to see.”

Luo Chen silently took out a book from his Storage Bag.

On it were the four ancient characters of “Shang Hu Pill Formula.”

Upon seeing this Elixir, everyone fell silent.
