Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 898: Chapter 368: Yin Yue Jueqing, Repeatedly Causing Trouble_2

However, what they had failed to notice was the gravity in the eyes of a few late-stage great cultivators.

Just now, Luo Chen’s realm was clearly at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

But the techniques he displayed in a short time were tricky even for them, late-stage great cultivators of Foundation Establishment.

Could there be such prodigies among rogue cultivators?

It’s one thing to have profound pill refinement skills, but to excel in combat too!

…

...

Compared to their discussions,

the ones with the biggest reaction were none other than Duan Feng and Dan Taijun.

They were in the process of handing over the corresponding goods, checking and calculating against the list bit by bit, involving a value of over a hundred thousand spirit stones.

Such a large transaction could not be accomplished by the Luo Tian Creed’s own production.

Many of the goods had been gathered by contacting other allied forces at the Foundation Establishment level.

Therefore, there was no room for error.

When the battle broke out,

Dan Taijun’s face was the first to change.

Seeing that Luo Chen was fighting Qu Zhenbiao, she cursed,

“Damn it!”

She then hurriedly handed over the matters to Shi Lan, while arranging for a fellow junior sister to go to the Sixth Mountain to inform her master, Jueqing Fairy.

She herself apologized and rushed back in a hurry.

Despite the excitement Duan Feng and others felt from Luo Chen’s impressive victory over Qu Zhenbiao with everyone watching,

they could only suppress their thrill and meticulously carry on with their work at that moment.

However, the speed of their work had clearly quickened quite a bit.

…

In a spacious stone room,

Luo Chen looked around for a while and revealed a look of satisfaction.

It indeed had the concentration of spirit qi of an early second-order upper grade, only slightly better than his Yi Seventh Cave Mansion at Tianlan Peak.

Cultivating here wouldn’t hold him back too much.

Suddenly, he heard a noise by his ear.

“Come in!”

Bu Junjie, a ninth level Qi Refinement cultivator who had just arrived at the door, was startled, then entered with all due respect.

“Chief, Senior Dan Taijun is here to visit!”

“She’s come faster than I expected,” Luo Chen remarked with an amused smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Let her in!”

Soon after, a woman with a cold demeanor walked in.

Luo Chen gave her a glance.

Such a familiar temperament seemed natural but had a degree of affectation.

Not her own nature,

but rather, it resembled the mannerisms of the Jueqing Fairy.

It seemed Dan Taijun was subconsciously imitating her master!

As he observed her, Dan Taijun, with a frown, spoke.

“Why have you come here?”

Luo Chen laughed.

“Why shouldn’t I come? Should I really wait until all of my Luo Tian Creed cultivators are dead before I come to collect their bodies?”

His laugh was rather casual.

But to Dan Taijun, it appeared quite sardonic.

Uncertain whether he was mocking her Jueqing’s Clan or being self-deprecating.

If it was the former, she was indeed momentarily at a loss for words.

Her master had previously gained great benefits from Luo Chen.

Consequently, Dan Taijun’s cultivation progress on the battlefield hadn’t fallen behind at all, and had even accelerated thanks to the Ascendant Grade Jade Dew Pill, making her cultivation faster than her fellow sect cultivators.

But, the promise made to the Luo Tian Creed by Jueqing’s Clan was not much honored.

What seemed like a safe garrison mission had led to heavy losses for the Luo Tian Creed.

She could only say helplessly,

“It’s not your place to blame us.”

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow!

Seeing that he wasn’t relenting, she continued, “That battle left all dependent forces of the Seventh Mountain with heavy casualties. It’s quite fortunate that the Luo Tian Creed managed to save most of its members.”

Luo Chen remained unmoved.

Such ‘fortune’ he could gladly do without.

“Enough, that’s all in the past, no point talking about it anymore. I would ask you, why cause conflict with the Qu family upon arrival?”

“Why shouldn’t there be conflict? They came knocking at my door; am I supposed to not fight back when attacked or insulted, and simply hand over our position?”

“I’m here, and the master is here; he can’t stir up any storm.”

“But if the cooked rice turns into a meal, how do you intend to answer to my Luo Tian Creed?”

“We don’t need to answer to the Luo Tian Creed!”

The moment this statement was made,

the atmosphere instantly froze.

Luo Chen burst into aggrieved laughter!

He knew that the Great Sects did not take their vassals seriously, but such blatant disregard was tasteless.

Dan Taijun realized she had misspoken.

Yet, pride as a Sect Disciple made her reluctant to apologize,

so she shifted the conversation.

“Qu family is a vassal of Master Yin Yue’s line; by almost killing him, you’re giving them leverage.”

“So what if I gave them leverage, to kill me?” Luo Chen retorted with a cold laugh.

Dan Taijun shook her head, “That won’t happen. But with most of the battle arrangements under Master Yin Yue’s control, if she intentionally…”

Before she could finish,

Luo Chen forcefully interrupted her.

“The dispute over this garrison was condoned by Ascendant Master Yin Yue, left to our own negotiation.”

“I won, and it was a clear and fair victory in front of everyone.”

“If they use this to seek revenge through bias, would the Ice Castle Cultivators and all the vassals approve of her actions?”

Once again, Dan Taijun was left speechless.

On the way here, she had come to a complete understanding of the events that had unfolded.

Every single detail!

Now, it seemed that Luo Chen had been flawless in his conduct, leaving no fault for anyone to find.

But about Master Yin Yue…

As she pondered, from outside the door!

“Luo Tian Creed’s Chief Luo Chen is summoned by Ascendant Master Yin Yue, why are you not hurrying over for an audience!”

“I am on my way!”
