Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 907: Chapter 371 Bingbo Fairy, Almost Became a Live-in Son-in-law_2

As for what comes after, involving critical life and death acupoints with extremely tough and thick membranes, I can consider that when the time comes.

Over at the Golden Sand Floating Island.

Dan Taijun had arrived earlier than him and most certainly knew the source of the large volume of Second Order Earth Fire Evil Qi.

…

“You want a large quantity of Second Order Earth Fire Evil Qi?”

In a side hall, Dan Taijun looked at Luo Chen with a complex expression.

...

Despite her probing gaze, Luo Chen appeared calm.

“Yes, the more, the better.”

“For pill refinement?”

“That’s not something you need to worry about, friend.”

Dan Taijun’s expression stiffened slightly, but she didn’t pursue the matter further.

She said indifferently, “I do have a hundred portions on hand, the inheritance from a Flame Alliance Foundation Establishment Cultivator. But that’s all I have.”

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

A hundred portions, that was a bit too few.

Dan Taijun obviously noticed his dissatisfaction.

“If you want more, you can attend the monthly trading meeting for cultivators on the Golden Sand Floating Island. Many cultivators will bring resources gained from battles, which they don’t need, to trade.”

“It should be quite simple to gather the amount of Second Order Earth Fire Evil Qi you want there.”

A monthly meeting?

After asking for the specific timing of the next one, Luo Chen inwardly cursed his luck.

The reason was simple; the meeting was scheduled during the period when the Luo Tian Creed was due to switch their defense of the Sixth Mountain.

That’s why he would most likely miss it.

Obviously, Dan Taijun was more aware of this matter than Luo Chen.

She said lightly, “When the time comes, I’ll have Shi Lan keep an eye out for you. You just need to give her the Spirit Stones.”

Shi Lan, huh?

Luo Chen nodded. He found this woman trustworthy.

Though she was a bit of a miser, she was measured in her actions.

Given some benefits, she would surely handle the matter beautifully.

After finalizing the deal and spending five thousand Spirit Stones to purchase her Earth Fire Evil Qi, Luo Chen had no intention of lingering any longer.

The women in the Ice Castle were stranger in temperament the higher their cultivation level.

Whether it was Jueqing or Yin Yue, he had to be cautious around them.

Even if Dan Taijun was a bit better, it was still wise to minimize contact.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Dan Taijun suddenly spoke up.

“Wait!”

“Is there something else?” Luo Chen turned around, puzzled.

Dan Taijun looked at him with a complex expression, “I heard that Ascendant Master Yin Yue tempted you with great rewards, even offering Bingbo as a Dao Companion Cultivator. Yet you refused her overture?”

Luo Chen nodded.

He casually asked, “Who is Bingbo?”

“The Bingbo Fairy.”

“Uh…” Luo Chen was taken aback.

Seeing his baffled reaction, Dan Taijun rarely allowed herself a suppressed smile.

“It seems you don’t know what you passed up!”

Luo Chen hesitantly asked, “Is she a Budding Cultivator from this generation in Ice Castle?”

“Yes, you guessed it correctly!” Dan Taijun laughed lightly, “She is Master Yin Yue’s leading disciple and also a candidate for the next Sect Leader, a future Golden Core Ascendant Master for sure. If you married her, you would truly become a part of Ice Castle!”

Luo Chen was at a loss for words.

He remembered Ascendant Master Yin Yue mentioning arranging a union with her leading disciple.

But he had no idea her position was so prominent.

To offer a Sect’s Budding Cultivator so easily?

Shaking his head, Luo Chen returned to his unflappable demeanor.

“I’m afraid it’s not about marrying her but me entering the Ice Castle, isn’t it?”

Dan Taijun was taken aback and subconsciously said, “Do these things even matter in the Immortal Cultivation World?”

Luo Chen chuckled helplessly. This woman apparently didn’t understand what ‘entering’ a family meant for a man.

In the midst of this laughter, he gradually understood Ascendant Master Yin Yue’s intention.

It was clear she was looking for an ally for her leading disciple, Bingbo Fairy.

If she had the assistance of a master Pill Refiner like him, her position as the future Sect Leader would be secure, and as her master, Ascendant Master Yin Yue would naturally reap even greater benefits.

This was evident from how Qingdan Valley’s Tao Wen initially struggled alone.

But midway, her master, Ascendant Master Bai Su, personally intervened to support her, even borrowing the Ice Soul Cold Marrow that could temporarily counteract the Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire for her.

This clearly showed the benefits!

With profit as the driving force, even teacher-disciple relationships with natural affection would become more intimate in their cooperation.

Just one question remained: Did that Budding Cultivator Bingbo know that she was almost betrothed to someone else?

Dan Taijun regained his composure and gave Luo Chen some good news.

“In half a month, your residence will move back and be supported by the Qu family. As for the Luo Tian Creed… I will make arrangements!”

Luo Chen’s expression flickered.

“Then I must thank Friend Dan Tai!”

Dan Taijun hummed in acknowledgment and did not detain Luo Chen any longer.

Watching his departing figure, she sighed with a slight sense of regret.

If only she had met him earlier.

Earlier, she could have used the Jade Dew Pill to enhance her realm and wouldn’t have lost to Bingbo during the Seed Cultivator Battle.

She was just a little bit short.

…

After leaving the Side Hall, Luo Chen walked on the solid streets.

His heart finally relaxed.

The risk he had taken before had finally seen results!

Under the pressure of Ascendant Master Yin Yue, Fairy Jueqing began to show goodwill towards the Luo Tian Creed.

If they had been sent to the Sixth Mountain and allocated a separate residence, it would have been easy to repeat the same mistakes.

But following someone from the Sect Orthodox like Dan Taijun, should the sky fall, there would be someone taller to bear it.

In this way, the casualties of the Luo Tian Creed could be minimized to the greatest extent.

“I just wonder how Ascendant Master Jueqing will treat me when I enter the battlefield?”

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, already having an answer in his heart.

When he returned to the Luo Tian Creed’s residence, he saw Qin Liangchen, who had hurried back.

“Ol Qin, what’s the matter?”

As Luo Chen’s prestige in the Luo Tian Creed had become unassailable, when he addressed a former friend in public, he had to be a bit more careful.

Calling him by his name seemed too distant.

And if he called out ‘big brother’ or ‘sister-in-law’, it could easily cause dissatisfaction among the disciples below.

Thus, an ‘Ol Qin’ sounded both friendly and respectful.

Seeing Qin Liangchen’s joyful expression, Luo Chen smiled and asked, “Where have you been to be so happy?”

Qin Liangchen chortled, “I made a trip to the Luo Yun Sect’s residence!”

“Oh?” Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise, “Did you see your son?”

“Didn’t see him!”

“Well, you’re still so cheerful,” Luo Chen said, puzzled.

Qin Liangchen laughed heartily, “I’m cheerful because I didn’t see him. Otherwise, if he were to come to this battlefield, wouldn’t I worry myself to death?”

Luo Chen suddenly understood; he hadn’t really considered the feelings of a parent.

“President, I’ve inquired about it. My Xiao Hu is really promising!”

As Qin Liangchen spoke these words, his eyebrows danced, and his expression was incredibly animated.

“He has already reached the Qi Refinement Stage Finalization and received the Foundation Establishment Pill bestowed by the Sect, and he’s currently in the throes of the Foundation Establishment!”

“Haha, once he successfully establishes his foundation, in the future, my Qin family will have two Foundation Establishment members!”

“Awesome!”

Luo Chen gave a thumbs-up.

He was quite surprised by the news.

Considering the time, Qin Liangchen’s son must be only in his thirties!

To be rushing for the Foundation Establishment at such a young age is indeed commendable, befitting of a genius with Dual Spirit Roots nurtured by the Sect.

In the Luo Tian Creed, the only person who matched Qin Xiaohu in age was his disciple, Qu Lingjun.

A couple of years younger.

With the regular supply of various auxiliary resources, and when Luo Chen resided at Tianlan Peak, he would often call him over for guidance.

But now, he is only at the Eighth Level of Qi Refinement.

The gap was not in resources!

In fact, Qu Lingjun had even more support than Qin Xiaohu had.

The gap lay in their talents.

One had Dual Spirit Roots, and the other was almost a waste with Quadruple Spirit Roots.

The chasm between them was wider than that between a man and a dog!

However, Qu Lingjun was neither anxious nor impatient, being thirty years old and at the Eighth Level of Qi Refinement, he had a very good chance of reaching Qi Refinement Stage Finalization before the age of sixty.

That was something the past Qu Lingjun and his late grandfather Qu Hancheng dared not even dream of.

With patience, there would come a day for Foundation Establishment!

By then, with Luo Chen’s help, even if it required force-feeding, he could make a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator out of him!

“By the way, I heard from Duan Feng that we’re going back to Tianlan in half a month?” Qin Liangchen asked curiously.

Luo Chen nodded, “Yes, by then Li Yingzhang should have largely recovered, and he will take you all back with him.”

Qin Liangchen was quite pleased.

He was about to say something when he suddenly realized something.

“Aren’t you coming back with us?”
