Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1064: Chapter 422: Venturing Alone into the Blue Pill, Do You Realize the Imminent Peril? Chapter 1064: Chapter 422: Venturing Alone into the Blue Pill, Do You Realize the Imminent Peril? The gentle breeze was blowing, and white clouds drifted ethereally.

A flying boat cut across the sky, departing from Tian Lan Immortal City, and sped towards Qingdan Valley.

It crossed the Thousand Miles Bamboo Sea, flew over the Qingdan District City, and one mountain peak after another, tall and short, came into view.

Luo Chen, dressed in white, stood on the flying boat, letting the breeze slap against his face, making his white clothes and black hair flutter loudly.

Looking down at the many small hills with broken walls below, he felt an increasing sense of confidence.

Especially when he arrived outside Qingdan Valley and saw the memorable Yuanhua Mountain, now only half its original size, he felt even more certain.

Yuanhua Mountain.

The gateway to Qingdan Valley!

Not only was it a gathering place of a Third Order Spirit Vein, but it was also a critical peak of the Five Peaks Around The Valley Formation.

But now!

A three-thousand-zhang tall peak was severed in half by a sword.

The waist of the mountain became the summit.

Where the break occurred, the slanted plane was as smooth as a mirror.

Upon it, terrifying remnants of Sword Qi still lingered.

One could imagine how amazing and splendid the strike from Master Shaking Light was!

Even Luo Chen began to doubt that it was the work of a mere Golden Core Ascendant Master.

It’s true that a Golden Core Ascendant Master could topple mountains and split seas. Even Luo Chen had the confidence to forcefully destroy a thousand-zhang tall mountain with his physical body.

But all this presupposes that the target was ownerless.

For a place as important as Yuanhua Mountain, a Big Formation must envelop it, and Golden Core Cultivators of the same Order would surely be defending it.

An ordinary Golden Core strike, how could it easily sever such a mountain?

The only explanation is that Master Shaking Light, in the late stage of Golden Core, used a technique bestowed by True Master Yu Ding of the Sword Sect.

Otherwise, given Qingdan Valley’s precautions,

Unless True Master Yu Ding personally took action, even if the Sword Sect exerted all its strength, Qingdan Valley could have held out for decades.

“Who goes there?”

As Luo Chen observed, a Qingdan Valley Cultivator came forward to greet him.

From a distance, he called out loudly.

Luo Chen took out a token and tossed it over.

“Tao Family’s Sacrificial Official Luo Chen!”

The man caught the token, looking at Luo Chen with a mix of doubt and recognition.

But suddenly, it seemed as if he remembered something.

Moving closer, hesitantly he said, “Could it be Senior Dan Chenzi?”

Luo Chen nodded slightly, “It is I.”

Once his identity was confirmed, the man’s expression became more respectful.

“If Senior is visiting the Tao Family, you can reach Xiao Nanshan where they are located by detouring southward for a short while.”

Luo Chen smiled and waved his hand, “That’s not it. I am keen on seeking an audience with Tao Wen, your Sect’s Taoist Son. May I know if she’s available now?”

Seeking an audience with Tao Wen?

The disciple was taken aback.

Although Tao Wen came from the Tao Family, her primary identity was now as a Qingdan Valley Taoist Son.

By stating her identity, Luo Chen’s purpose for the visit was likely not related to the Tao Family but to Qingdan Valley.

He hesitated and then said, “I am of low rank and unaware if the Taoist Son is available at the moment. Please allow me to inform and ask on behalf of the Senior. You might have to wait a moment.”

“Of course!”

Luo Chen smiled lightly.

He then followed the man’s lead and descended from the sky, arriving at the foot of Dragon Head Peak.

“My apologies, the place for receiving guests is usually the Welcoming Hall on Yuanhua Mountain. However, it’s currently undergoing repairs, so we’ve temporarily moved reception to Dragon Head Peak.”

“Not a problem, I don’t mind these things.”

The disciple immediately arranged for tea and refreshments for Luo Chen and then left Dragon Head Peak, flying towards Qingyun Peak where the Sect Leader and Taoist Sons resided.

After he left, Luo Chen’s thoughts stirred.

He stepped out of the hall and gazed into the distance.

With his exceptional vision, he could make out the scenery miles away as if it were right before him.

On Yuanhua Mountain, numerous Qingdan Valley Cultivators were busily transporting materials and repairing the foundation.

Several powerful Foundation Establishment True Cultivators personally carried precisely cut giant stones to fill Yuanhua Mountain’s gaps.

Though many were bustling about enthusiastically, quite a few had an unmistakable look of panic on their faces.

Although Luo Chen was not present at the time, he learned from various reports what they had experienced.

That awe-inspiring sword strike not only cut through Yuanhua Mountain but also the pride of the Qingdan Valley Cultivators that had lasted for hundreds of years.

What if they were Great Sect people?

The enemy was a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect!

In comparison, no matter how wealthy Qingdan Valley was, if the enemy intended, Qingdan Valley was nothing more than a lamb awaiting slaughter.

In such circumstances,

the Qingdan Valley Disciples, stripped of their arrogance, became even more fearful and confused than Rogue Cultivators.

As Luo Chen observed these Qingdan Valley Cultivators with unsettled minds, he started to formulate a plan.

Even during the most arduous times for the Luo Tian Creed, there would be someone standing up to control the minds of those below.

But now, the Qingdan Valley’s Lower Order Cultivators were so listless,

It indicated that their superiors were preoccupied elsewhere.

That is to say, larger conflicts were brewing inside.

Had his arrival come at just the right moment?

He pondered for a while, then turned his head to look upwards towards Dragon Head Peak.

After a long pause, he slowly withdrew his gaze.

Just then, he had felt a sweep of Divine Consciousness over him, unobscured,

More like observation and a warning.

Luo Chen fell into thought.

Dragon Head Peak was where Qingdan Valley’s most combative Cultivators resided.

Not receiving guests at Yuanhua Mountain could be explained by repairs, but they should have arranged for him to be at Qingyun Peak with its many administrative tasks!

Yet they placed him at Dragon Head Peak, where the most martial Cultivators were.

It wasn’t just about Luo Chen; it was about all the recent foreign visitors to Qingdan Valley.

“Qingdan Valley now, is like a frightened bird indeed!”
