Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1331: Chapter 503: You are not a True Master, unaware of the Nascent Soul’s methods_3 Chapter 1331: Chapter 503: You are not a True Master, unaware of the Nascent Soul’s methods_3 Indeed, this was why Cheng Yan was like a skilled cook who cannot prepare a meal without rice; facing the pack of wolves, he felt helpless and defeated.

Faced with his senior brother’s accusations, Han Zhan still kept his composure.

“I too am heartbroken, but at the time, I truly couldn’t move, and I dared not.”

“It wasn’t that I cherished my own life too much, but rather the battle at the Nascent Soul level was just too fierce.”

“After the battle, before the beast tide could even rush in, Ao Xiao alone could bring calamity upon thousands of our Luo Yun Sect disciples.”

Saying this,

He paused for a moment, a bitter smile appearing on his otherwise meticulous face.

“Being able to fight a Middle Stage Nascent Soul and being able to kill are two different things.”

“Even if I severely injured Ao Xiao, what then? If he wanted to flee, once a Nascent Soul escapes, it would be a thousand miles away, and I could do nothing about it.”

“Senior brother, you are not a True Master and do not know the methods of a Nascent Soul; I don’t blame you.”

Cheng Yan was taken aback and stood there stupefied.

After a long while, he staggered down the mountain with a lost soul.

Muttering to himself,

“I am not a True Master… I am not a True Master…”

Han Zhan sighed, knowing that his honest and earnest words had unintentionally struck his senior brother’s most painful spot.

But at the time, there really was no alternative.

At least, with both sides restraining each other, the Luo Yun Sect eventually waited for the return of the elite troops and managed to preserve the vital energy of the Sect.

“Don’t worry, senior brother!”

“As long as we secure the Xiao Yue Mountain Range, the Luo Yun Sect will eventually thrive again, not only returning to its peak but even surpassing it tenfold or a hundredfold.”

“That Ao Xiao will sooner or later pay the price for this battle!”

“I, your junior brother, would never deceive you!”

These murmured words, carried by the night wind, reached Cheng Yan’s ears.

It was uncertain if he could take them in.

Han Zhan pursed his lips, his gaze overlooking the battlefield below forged in blood and fire, finally coming to rest on the huge body lying on the ground.

His gaze shifted, followed by a flick of his hand.

A wisp of ghostly light descended from the sky, seeping into the body.

The golden-bodied Luo Chen, stimulated by this, shuddered all over.

Then, countless streams of golden light converged towards the center and were slowly enveloped by azure flames.

Luo Chen opened his eyes and brought his hands together in front of him, forming a Dao Law Method.

In an instant, his body began to rapidly shrink.

With the support of Jueqing Fairy, he struggled to rise and donned his coat.

Though severely injured, Luo Chen still bowed in the direction of Thousand Leaves Peak.

“Thank you, True Master!”

There was no response.

Luo Chen, with not a trace of color in his face, stood up straight and scanned the surroundings.

Seemingly understanding what he was thinking, Jueqing Fairy softly said, “You should go rest and recover. I will help you retrieve the cultivators from the Luo Tian Alliance.”

“Thank you for that, friend.”

Luo Chen managed a weak smile, not refusing her kindness, and staggered towards his Cave Mansion.

Watching his departing figure, Jueqing Fairy couldn’t help but shake her head.

The same as before!

He was quite a mess last time, and now he has ended up like this again.

It was only good luck, or else, left on the battlefield, he would have been torn apart and devoured by the demon beasts long ago.

What was he trying to prove?

A Pill Refiner should have been safely tucked away at the rear.

However, as Jueqing Fairy wandered the battlefield searching for Luo Tian Alliance cultivators, she learned the details of the previous battle from others.

“Senior Dan Chenzi?”

“We really have to thank him for this battle, cutting down three wolf kings with the array, and personally holding off the Third-Order Late Phase Golden Wolf King. Otherwise, we would probably not have had the chance to set up the array.”

“Facing a late-stage wolf king in his Early Golden Core stage and surviving, Senior Dan Chenzi is truly formidable!”

Jueqing Fairy blinked in disbelief.

Prior to Nascent Soul, because cultivators have numerous methods and external aids, they generally do not fear demon beasts of the same order.

But there is a limit to this.

If they cross a major realm, that advantage would be nullified.

And if the gap spans two major realms, early stage against late stage… it’s certain death!

Luo Chen actually took on the Golden Wolf King head-on and lived?

“It seems I’ve underestimated him.”

…

Struggling back to his Cave Mansion,

Luo Chen looked down at the large hole in his chest and at the mass of golden light entrenched within his body. Even though it was tightly wrapped by Natal True Fire, it still clung to him like Bone Creeping Maggots.

He let out a wry smile.

“After all, I was careless!”
