Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 894: Chapter 366: Golden Sand Floating Island, Four Sects Alliance_2

Voices of affirmation came one after another from the mouths of the surviving Battle Hall Cultivators.

Luo Chen’s hurried steps finally slowed down.

Looking at the Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators emerging from the houses one by one, his expression gradually softened.

“My fellow cultivators, you have worked hard.”

Some choked up, as if these words offered them immense consolation.

Others exclaimed, “Fighting for the Luo Tian Creed is our duty.”

...

“It’s not hard work at all!”

Such conversations continued unabated.

Luo Chen was surprised; he had thought a group of defeated soldiers would have low spirits.

But to his amazement, as he observed them, their morale was high all along.

The uplifted mood was not just a sudden surge due to his arrival; it seemed to have been present from before.

Of course, now was not the time to probe into this matter.

He said softly, “Everyone has indeed been through a lot during this period. I have brought from the Luo Tian Creed a great amount of fine wine and food to reward you all. Not only that, but I will also be stationed here from now on, fighting shoulder to shoulder with you.”

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but cheer.

The already good atmosphere became even more elevated.

“You take some people to the outside of the floating island to receive the supplies, and by the way, help Yuan Xiaoyue and the Ice Castle Cultivators with transporting the goods. After that, bring all the people and items back.”

Luo Chen instructed in a low voice.

Duan Feng nodded and immediately selected a few people to leave.

Luo Chen, meanwhile, walked towards Xu Huanzhen, who was guarding outside a stone house.

“I’m sorry for the loss of a Second Order Spirit Beast.”

Xu Huanzhen gave a wry smile, “As I told them, it’s just what I should do. You’d better go check on Friend Li!”

Luo Chen hummed in acknowledgment and entered the stone house.

As soon as he walked in, a rich medicinal scent hit his nose.

“President… I…”

On the bed, Li Yingzhang struggled, trying to get up.

“No need to get up, just lie down!”

Luo Chen said with a frown.

Then he asked without turning his head, “How is the situation?”

Xu Huanzhen immediately replied, “Little Li was injured by a True Disciple of the Flame Alliance, and the method used to hurt him was unlike ordinary magical weapons, as it was imbued with Earth Fire Evil Qi!”

Earth Fire Evil Qi!

Upon hearing this term, Luo Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

He was all too familiar with this substance.

Whether it was in the creation of Blood Ignition Pills or in his previous Body Refinement, he had used a lot of Earth Fire Evil Qi.

Thus, he knew better than many the harmful nature of this substance.

Strictly speaking, Earth Fire Evil Qi did not belong exclusively to First Order materials.

Its grade was determined by the quality of the Earth Fire.

The higher the quality of the Earth Fire, the higher the grade of the resulting Evil Qi.

The Flame Alliance was the Yu Ding Casting Great Sect of the Yu Ding Realm!

Within it existed Earth Fires of all orders, and it even contained a Sourceless Fire—Prosperity and Decline Fire!

Therefore, the disciples of this sect were extremely proficient in Fire Type techniques.

Not only that, but they often used Earth Fire Evil Qi against their enemies.

In battle, Earth Fire Evil Qi could erode the spirituality of an opponent’s Magical Weapons and Treasures and also cause great harm to a Cultivator’s body.

Mi Shuhua once said that when Evil Qi enters the body, it utterly ruins the foundation!

If he had not practiced “Ming God’s Divine Cleanse” and had the assistance of Wang Yuan, he would never have used Evil Qi to temper his physique.

Now upon hearing that Li Yingzhang had been injured by Earth Fire Evil Qi, how could he not be alarmed?

“That True Disciple wielded Earth Fire Evil Qi with extreme proficiency, not only destroying the connection between Little Li and his Chi Dragon Sword and taking it away but also injecting a stream of Earth Fire Evil Qi into Little Li’s body.”

“It’s difficult to eradicate. After we retreated to the Golden Sand Floating Island, Duan Feng asked by your name for two doctors from the Ice Castle and Qingdan Valley to treat him.”

“One technique uses the art of ice and snow to suppress, while the other uses the power of elixirs to heal.”

“Still, despite this, Little Li’s injuries are recovering extremely slowly.”

Luo Chen listened quietly.

His attention was entirely focused on Li Yingzhang.

The latter seemed to feign tranquility, but his occasionally trembling eyelids indicated that his internal state was not good.

In the end, Xu Huanzhen let out a sigh and said, “It is only because Little Li’s foundation is so solid it’s almost terrifying that we managed to hold out until help could be called for treatment.”

Luo Chen had some understanding of Li Yingzhang’s foundation.

Once he knew everything, Luo Chen approached Li Yingzhang.

“Bear with it a moment, I want to check your condition.”

Behind him, Xu Huanzhen was taken aback—was the President skilled in healing as well?

But then he remembered Gu Caiyi.

It was said that not only had the President healed her, but she had even successfully achieved Foundation Establishment recently.

Since ancient times, pill refinement, healing, and cultivation had always gone hand in hand; an accomplished Pill Refiner was often a good physician or an experienced Spirit Plant Cultivator and medic.

The President was a powerful Pill Refiner who outshone the Qingdan Seven Sons; understanding some healing techniques seemed nearly expected.

Naturally, Li Yingzhang would not object.

Gathering his focus, Luo Chen proceeded to examine the internal condition of his body.

A vast Spirit Consciousness gently entered Li Yingzhang’s body.

Flesh, bones, meridians, Sea of Qi, step by step, everywhere without exception.

Only after a long while did Luo Chen retract his Spirit Consciousness.

He had come to understand why Mi Shuhua had said back then that the infiltration of Evil Qi had severed roots and destroyed the foundation.

He also finally understood why Xu Huanzhen felt such awe towards the solidity of Li Yingzhang’s foundation.

From what he saw, the breadth of Li Yingzhang’s meridians and the profound vastness of the Nine Heavens of the Sea of Qi far exceeded that of a common Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

Even when compared to Luo Chen, he was only slightly less accomplished.

In fact, it could be said that his original foundation might have been on par with Luo Chen’s!

Body of Nine Twists and Turns!

Nine Returnals of Origin technique!

To construct the foundation of The Great Dao Path with such means was truly terrifying.

No wonder Li Jinhuang, knowing that his lifespan wasn’t much, never urged Li Yingzhang to forcibly reach Foundation Establishment.

With such a physique and such a foundation, this child was indeed a rare cultivation talent.

Even, it could be said that Li Jinhuang might have underestimated Li Yingzhang’s potential.

A pity that the Earth Fire Evil Qi had penetrated his body, destroying at least ten percent of his foundation.

And it seemed to be devouring relentlessly, aiming to collapse the lofty ninefold structure.

But under Luo Chen’s examination, spheres of ice and snow Spirit Power tightly enveloped the scattered groups of Earth Fire Evil Qi within Li Yingzhang’s body.

It was in this way his foundation was prevented from collapsing continuously.

However, this method was obviously a temporary solution rather than a cure!

If the Evil Qi within his body was not removed, a foreign presence would ultimately bring disaster upon Li Yingzhang himself.

“The miraculous elixirs of Qingdan Valley are indeed extremely exceptional; in addition to healing injuries, they are clearly also trying to integrate into the ice and snow Spirit Power spheres, eroding away the Evil Qi.”

“This method is very well-developed!”

“It seems Qingdan Valley has long been researching how to deal with the infiltration of Evil Qi into the body.”

Luo Chen muttered in his heart, showing a thoughtful expression on his face.

On the bed, Li Yingzhang asked weakly, “President, is there any hope for my condition?”

“Allow me to think carefully.”

Seeing Luo Chen frowning in contemplation, a look of dejection couldn’t help but emerge on Li Yingzhang’s face.

Both medicinal saints from Qingdan Valley and Ice Castle were unable to deal with the Evil Qi within his body in a short time.

The president wasn’t specialized in healing techniques, so how could he possibly have a solution?

He said dejectedly, “If I can’t be saved, I will have to entrust the Qin Flower River Li family to you, President…”

“Why are you just like your grandfather, always eager to entrust your clan? If you had a wife and children, would you entrust them to me too?” Luo Chen suddenly scolded.

Li Yingzhang was taken aback, and then his face flushed with embarrassment.

Luo Chen laughed, “Thinking too much, even if I can’t find a way, following the methods of those two doctors, given a decade or so, you would recover, and your cultivation wouldn’t be much affected.”

“Ah…” Li Yingzhang opened his mouth, blushing even more.

Xu Huanzhen couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Xiao Li, haven’t I always told you that you worry too much? Now that the president has spoken, just focus on recovering.”

“Mhm.”

Li Yingzhang mumbled an embarrassed agreement.

Just as Luo Chen was deep in thought.

Suddenly, a hubbub of noise erupted outside the station.

A stern look flashed across Luo Chen’s face as he directly walked out.

Xu Huanzhen seemed to have thought of something, his expression darkening.

“Xiao Li, don’t come out. I’ll resolve it with the president,” he said.

After speaking, he hurried out the door.

On the bed, Li Yingzhang also realized that something might be happening outside and, not heeding the warning, struggled to get up.

…

“Senior Qu, do you have a matter?”

“Matter? It’s just bringing up old issues. Don’t interfere, youngster, and have your head of house come out and speak.”

“This is Luo Tian Creed’s station, and you cannot enter without important notice!”

“Youngster, if you continue to obstruct me, don’t blame me, Qu, for not giving prior warning!”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man suddenly unleashed a powerful surge of energy.

The oppressive force was so strong that it forced Bu Junjie to continuously retreat against his will.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With each retreat, Bu Junjie pressed deep footprints onto the stone pavement.

However, Bu Junjie’s figure eventually came to a halt.

A gentle wave of Spirit Power not only caught him but also relieved him of the oppressive force.

“President!”

A figure slowly emerged behind him.

Like a proudly standing pine, an aura fierce as the blazing sun, but his cold gaze resembled the depths of the Cold Pool Abyss, dark and bottomless.

In his line of sight, everyone’s heart trembled.
