Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 912: Chapter 373: Old Friends from the Great River, A World of Difference_2

Luo Chen nodded.

This intelligence was essentially the same as what Min Longyu had told him.

Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain wasn’t actually very large.

One mountain was roughly the same size as Danxia Peak.

Yet, a mountain of such size couldn’t be covered by a single fourth-order defensive array; it required at least three, and even so, the effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

One could see just how harsh the battlefield environment was.

...

“Moreover, in battle here, if you encounter cultivators with the Lightning Spirit Root or those adept at using lightning-based techniques, you must be careful. The power they can unleash far surpasses that of normal circumstances.”

“From the Sword Sect side, there are three sword cultivators who excel at the Path of Array, two are at the middle stage, and one is at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, all very strong. At the Flame Alliance, there’s also a lightning technique expert at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment whose real name is unknown, known by the moniker Yan Leizi.”

“Here are their portraits; if the Chairman encounters them, try to avoid confronting them head-on.”

Xu Huanzhen took out several portraits and laid them out for Luo Chen to see.

After carefully memorizing them, Luo Chen casually inquired.

“What about from our alliance? Do we have any experts in lightning techniques?”

“Yes!”

Xu Huanzhen quietly pointed to a man with a rebellious demeanor and curly hair among the crowd of cultivators.

Luo Chen looked over and thought, curly hair?

“That man is known as Shan Ling ‘Er, hailing from Ailao Mountain, with the realm of late stage Foundation Establishment. His Lightning Spirit Drill magic tool is extremely powerful. Whenever he encounters sword cultivators from the Sword Sect, he is always the first to confront them, showing no fear whatsoever.”

“There’s also a cultivator from Qingdan Valley with the Lightning Spirit Root, possessing a Black Cloud Poison magic item, which is extremely suited for large-scale combat.”

“Additionally, on the Fifth Mountain, there is a lightning technique expert from Luo Yun Sect whom the Sword Sect is particularly wary of.”

As he said this,

Xu Huanzhen suddenly stopped.

He gave a wry smile and said, “Actually, the Luo Tian Creed also has a lightning technique expert who has been marked by the Sword Sect as someone that lower-order cultivators should be wary of.”

“Min Longyu?” Luo Chen asked.

Xu Huanzhen nodded, “Indeed, Elder Min may not have the Lightning Spirit Root, but he’s capable of drawing upon the Power of Thunder with materials and arrays. His past deed of instantly slaying five Foundation Establishment True Cultivators with the Five Thunder Blast Array is still widely spoken of in Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain. The name Lei Zhenzi commands fear and respect among many!”

Luo Chen also nodded in agreement.

He had always felt that Min Longyu needn’t feel so guilty.

The battle that night had reached its zenith, and the name Lei Zhenzi was the perfect tribute to his feats in that conflict.

Thinking of the array disk and the specially formulated array given to him by Min Longyu before parting, stored in his storage bag, Luo Chen felt extremely confident.

Although Lei Zhenzi was no longer on the battlefield,

The crystallization of his Path of Array still remained.

As long as the conditions were right…

Luo Chen subconsciously looked around, unsure if the dark hue of the mountain was due to the constant bombardment of lightning or if it was darkened by the blood of countless cultivators.

Such an environment was not very suitable for deploying that array.

“Finally!”

Xu Huanzhen’s expression turned serious, “Chairman, remember, when fighting on the Thunder Mountain, be careful not to fly too high.”

Luo Chen’s eyebrows raised slightly, “Because it’s easy to get struck by lightning?”

“Correct! The Power of Thunder accrued by the Thunder Mountain over countless years is truly terrifying. Even when it seems calm, no one can predict when a lightning bolt might suddenly strike from the sky. If you fly too high during battle, you’ll become an easy target. Remember, there are no living creatures on Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain!”

Normal lightning doesn’t pose a great threat to immortal cultivators.

It is not like the Tribulation Thunder during the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

Some of the more powerful individuals can even capture heavenly thunder to create magical weapons and treasures, to temper their bodies, and so forth.

But if you are struck unexpectedly during battle, the brief paralysis and stiffness could instantly turn the tide of the fight.

If you fall because you flew too high and were struck during the battle, that would truly be a laughable ending.

Xu Huanzhen shared a lot all at once.

He passed on all the lessons and experiences he had gathered over the past two years to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen observed the clueless and eager rogue cultivators.

Probably many of them were unaware of these lessons.

“Tell these things to the brothers from the Luo Tian Creed as well!” he said.

“Hmm, I’ve already arranged for someone to pass on the word.”

As they conversed,

The handover in the Sixth Mountain had gradually come to an end.

Luo Chen’s expression shifted, and his gaze turned to a small troop.

The Lianyun Business Union!

There, a woman was staring blankly at him.

Luo Chen nodded to her slightly as a gesture.

The woman gave a wry smile and also nodded.

“Friend Li, what’s the matter?” Nangong Jin asked, puzzled, as their group slowly flew outward.

Li Yixian sighed, “I thought that with Dan Chenzi’s reputation, Luo Chen could stay out of this war. It didn’t occur to me that he’d be swept up in it as well.”

Nangong Jin was startled, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Luo Tian Creed.

But he saw Luo Chen’s back disappearing into the mountain, led by an Ice Castle Cultivator.

He murmured, “Even a Pill Refinement Grandmaster whose name is known throughout the region has been drawn into this maelstrom; we mediocre individuals should expect the same fate.”

Li Yixian was about to say something, but then,

An elderly voice echoed from behind.

“Do not underestimate Dan Chenzi. The place they are heading to is clearly one of the safest.”

“Ice Castle’s regard for him far exceeds that for the rest of us!”

Li Yixian and Nangong Jin were taken aback,

Then respectfully saluted.
