Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 871: Chapter 355: Luo Tian Sets Out, San Xiu Leads the Team

Half a month later.

Atop Danxia Peak.

A small team of a hundred people stood poised and serious, ready for combat.

In front of them was the Luo Tian Grand Hall.

Inside the hall, Luo Chen looked at the three individuals in front of him.

Wang Yuan, Duan Feng, Xu Huanzhen.

...

If we were to speak of realm, with his Sixth Level Foundation Establishment, Xu Huanzhen should be the highest.

But in this battle, the leader was Wang Yuan.

“Sorry to have disturbed your Purification,” he said.

Wang Yuan shook his head calmly and replied, “This is something that, as a member of the Luo Tian Creed, one should do. You needn’t feel guilty.”

“Moreover!”

As he spoke, a rare hint of fervor appeared on his face.

“All that I have learned, if not proven against others, is but mere shadowboxing.”

“The path I walk is different from yours; it requires extensive actual combat amidst life and death. These past years, I’ve been itching for a fight!”

Seeing his enthusiastic warlike demeanor, Luo Chen frowned involuntarily.

“Don’t go looking for trouble. The assignment I managed to get is a relatively safe one. Just take these people there and bring back as many as possible.”

Wang Yuan simply shrugged and did not refute Luo Chen.

Unlike himself, Luo Chen cared more about the lives of the Luo Tian Creed Cultivators, while his own concern laid in the advancement of cultivation.

But considering the multitude of powerful cultivators from various sects that Luo Chen had repeatedly warned him about, he still tried to suppress his own fervent urge.

In this world, there are always people better than oneself, skies beyond skies.

Wang Yuan was indeed not invincible.

Luo Chen shook his head and walked over to Xu Huanzhen.

Before he could even speak, Xu Huanzhen started with a bitter smile.

“I joined the Luo Tian Creed to earn Spirit Stones. I never expected to end up on the battlefield.”

Luo Chen replied helplessly, “There’s no choice. Dan Taijun singled you out; your Beast Controlling Technique is highly valuable for logistics and communication.”

Xu Huanzhen kept his bitter smile.

If he were still a Rogue Cultivator, Dan Taijun would not be able to conscript him.

But after joining the Luo Tian Creed, he was obliged to serve the Creed for ten years.

Otherwise, drawing a salary second only to President Sima Huiniang without contributing anything wouldn’t make sense.

“There’s not much else to say, I just wish you safe return.”

“Moreover, this Beast Controlling Technique is a form of compensation from me, as the Chief of the Luo Tian Creed. If possible, I hope you can look after the Qi Refinement Cultivators from the Battle Hall.”

As he spoke, Luo Chen handed over a scroll.

Xu Huanzhen paused for a moment, then took the scroll.

“Ten Thousand Beast Scripture”

“It’s not of a high grade, but it should be of help to you.”

Xu Huanzhen’s interest was piqued; he was fond of interacting with Demon Beasts.

Most of what he had learned was related to Beast Controlling as well.

Luo Chen had indeed catered to his interests, which eased some of the anxiety about having to go to war.

Seeing him engrossed in reading, Luo Chen then approached Duan Feng.

“Do you remember what I told you before?”

Duan Feng nodded, “I remember. Not to compete or fight, but to set up a Tool Casting workshop in the Flowing Sand Wasteland, earn merits, and improve my Tool Casting Technique.”

“Exactly!” Luo Chen said with a smile: “The place may have changed, but the principle is the same as during the struggle over the Jindan Ruins in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range. While they fight tooth and nail, we profit greatly.”

“The logic is the same. If you can do it on Qinghe Mountain, you can do it in the Ten Thousand Li of Yellow Sands Wasteland as well.”

After these words,

Luo Chen, in front of the three men, took out a Storage Bag and three Jade Vials.

He handed over the Jade Vials to each of them with great care.

“Inside are the Top Grade Blood Igniting Pills I personally crafted. Three for each of you. In a critical moment, they might just save your life. The specific usage—Wang Yuan knows. He will tell you.”

“And this Storage Bag contains a large number of Ascendant Grade Blood Igniting Pills.”

“Brother Wang, take it and distribute it to the Battle Hall Cultivators when you set off.”

“Remember, the goal is not merit; it’s to stay alive!”

All three immediately accepted.

Luo Chen usually wasn’t so overprotective or talkative,

But they could all feel the sincerity in his heart.

Coming back alive was the greatest victory!

There was nothing more to say then.

Luo Chen, accompanied by the three, left the grand hall.

He looked at the hundreds of Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators before him, his expression complex.

This war, the Luo Tian Creed still had to contribute people after all.

It wasn’t that the items he gave to Jueqing were bad; it was that Jueqing’s Clan had too few disciples and not enough vassals.

Therefore, every vassal force had been called upon.

They must send people!

Yet his efforts were not in vain.

From initially requiring all Qi Refinement Cultivators of Seventh Level and above to fight, it was now reduced to just needing three Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and over a hundred Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators. This was change.

Furthermore, Luo Chen had managed to get a relatively easy assignment from Jueqing Fairy.

Luo Tian Creed Cultivators would not be deployed to the most dangerous fronts.

Instead, they would be tasked with logistics, communication, and defense-related work.

The specific arrangements would be made upon arrival at the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain battlefield’s Ice Castle.

His gaze swept across the crowd as Luo Chen began to speak.

“Among you, there are those who have followed me from humble beginnings all the way from The Great River District, and there are also Rogue Cultivators striving for a living in Tian Lan Immortal City.”

“Now gathered together, all of you share the same goal: to reach the Great Dao Path of Foundation Establishment.”

“But the Luo Tian Creed is not some Great Sect. By my own strength, I can’t gather many Foundation Establishment Pills.”

“Now, there’s an opportunity!”

He raised his hand, gesturing towards the distance.

“On the battlefield of Accumulation Thunder Mountain, by completing tasks, you can earn merits. The Great Sects have put forth countless Foundation Establishment Pills. If you work hard, everyone has a chance at Foundation Establishment!”
