Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 913: Chapter 373: Old Friends from the Great River, A World of Difference_3

“I have seen the Great Elder!”

The Great Elder Lianyun waved his hand wearily, “No need for such formalities, go back and rest!”

As he spoke, he watched Luo Chen’s departing figure, his face involuntarily showing a look of envy.

Different garrisons faced entirely different pressures.

If the Lianyun Business Union had enjoyed such treatment, their losses wouldn’t have been so severe.

In just two years, the union had dwindled from nine Foundation Establishment True Cultivators to only five.

...

Even Zhou Qing, a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator he had high hopes for, had unfortunately perished.

If things continued like this, how many of them from the Lianyun Business Union would be able to survive and return to Tian Lan Immortal City after the war?

“Forget it!”

“I hope what Tian Xingzi said is true, otherwise this trip of mine is almost in vain.”

With a sigh, the Great Elder Lianyun flew wearily away from the Sixth Mountain.

…

The task of the Luo Tian Creed was to guard a position at the rear of a mountainside, a rare location where a grove of trees stood.

Thunder Strike Wood!

Second Order Material, it is the most widely used material in the creation of thunder-based Magic Tools and Treasures.

Valuable, but not rare.

Some Great Sects even have the means to summon the Power of Thunder to cultivate Thunder Strike Wood.

This place was towards the back, not on the front lines of the battlefield, and the mountain terrain was higher.

The resources produced here were not scarce.

One could say that this location was absolutely the least interesting to the enemy among all the garrisons.

Unlike other vassal forces, either they were critical transportation routes, Array hubs, or places where precious resources were produced.

“Satisfied?” Dan Taijun asked.

Luo Chen withdrew his gaze that had been surveying the surroundings and sincerely said, “To be honest, it’s a bit beyond my expectations.”

He had anticipated that Ascendant Master Jueqing would give great care to Luo Tian Creed.

But he hadn’t expected that care to be so substantial!

This place, besides all the aforementioned advantages, was also very suitable for escape.

Even if an enemy attacked up the mountain, it would be the cultivators in the front who bore the brunt.

Dan Taijun shook his head, “It is good, but my master has also paid a great price. Almost seventy percent of the Top Grade Blood Ignition Pills you previously refined have been traded to Luo Yun Sect and Master Yin Yue.”

Luo Chen’s eyebrows shot up!

Damn!

He knew something was off when the large quantity of Blood Ignition Pills he had refined over those two years didn’t seem to improve Jueqing’s Clan’s situation on the battlefield at all.

Even the Luo Tian Creed was assigned an outpost that was only “relatively safe.”

It turned out that the witch Jueqing hadn’t utilized the batch of Top Grade Blood Ignition Pills at all.

Instead, she had hoarded them until now, only to trade them with others.

For a moment, anger rose in his heart.

But as Dan Taijun flew toward the peak, that anger gradually extinguished.

If he were in her shoes, he probably would have done the same thing.

To trade them at the beginning would have been just a slightly better-than-average Life-saving Elixir.

Valuable, but not that important.

But now, as the war situation grew ever more tense, the Blood Ignition Pill’s benefits were not merely lifesaving abilities, but a temporary increase in battle strength by several percent, which could completely turn around a small-scale battle.

At this time, trading them could gain far more advantages.

And incidentally, it even took care of Luo Tian Creed’s side.

“I still underestimated these Golden Core Ascendant Masters.”

“It seems everyone is in Purification, but in reality, they are clearer about interests than anyone else.”

“I was foolish to think well of her just now.”

Looking around, Luo Chen shook his head.

This place was originally one of the earliest destinations meant for Luo Tian Creed.

“Forget it, what’s done is done.”

“Worrying about these things is pointless. Coping with the upcoming battles is what’s most important.”

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen took out the Traveling Eighteen Array Disks from his Storage Bag!
