Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1470: Chapter 547: Confession, New Mansion, Black King, Seeking Revenge_3 Chapter 1470: Chapter 547: Confession, New Mansion, Black King, Seeking Revenge_3 Luo Chen’s face, previously calm and serene, suddenly changed.

…

Splash!

Atop the sea, bubbles burst one after another, and as the ripples dispersed, tranquility returned.

Below the surface, two figures dived deeper.

Eventually, they arrived in an extremely deep sea trench.

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon halted, and respectfully said, “Master, this is the most hidden of the three potential bases.”

Luo Chen gazed at the trench that stretched thousands of feet, its end not visible to the eye, fringed by swaying, strikingly beautiful red corals.

Those were Blood Corals!

Second Order Spirit Plants that possess sentience and formidable offensive abilities.

Due to their dazzling appearance, they often attract marine creatures, which they prey upon.

Thus, this place is also considered perilous, and Lower Order Demon Beasts seldom come here.

He nodded in approval.

The exposure of Tianxuan Island had been anticipated by him.

Therefore, long ago, he had ordered Tian Xuan and the Black Scaled Flood Dragon to search for alternative bases.

This was one of them, and also the most clandestine.

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon hesitated a moment, then added, “Master, here the dense Spirit Qi is of Second Order along with a Water Attribute, which might not suit your cultivation. Perhaps we should go to Bone Slide Island instead!”

Luo Chen waved his hand dismissively and started walking toward the Coral Trench.

“Bone Slide Island is too dangerous. Although it has a Third Order Spirit Vein, it’s inhabited by large quantities of Hidden Dust, and it’s adjacent to the Nine Claw Poison King Crab.”

“Better less trouble than more.”

“Besides, I’ve just advanced to the Fourth layer of the Golden Core, and my focus is to stabilize my realm for now; I don’t require a superior Spirit Vein Land.”

He entered the Coral Trench.

Luo Chen looked around and finally stopped in front of a rock wall.

“Right here is fine!”

Before he could retrieve the Xuanhuo Sword to carve out a Cave Mansion, the Black Scaled Flood Dragon swam over.

“Master, let me do it! Let me!”

“These trivial tasks aren’t worth your expenditure of precious Qi Power.”

While talking, it rammed into the rock wall, spewing demonic power that transformed into sharp blades to slice through the hard rock.

Watching his obsequious behavior, Luo Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

“Big Black…”

He barely started speaking when he remembered how the Black Scaled Flood Dragon, despite being depleted of demonic power, had intervened to help him in battle.

And all the hard work the other had done over the years.

Even if it was because of enslavement and for the sake of Emperor Liquor, their efforts were commendable!

Addressing him as Big Black seemed a bit too casual.

At least that Fighting Bird could still be called Tian Xuan.

Thinking this, Luo Chen asked, “Speaking of which, do you have a name?”

While busily carving out the Cave Mansion, the Black Scaled Flood Dragon paused and then answered, “When I was young, my clansmen called me Xiao Tao, saying I ate a lot. Later when I got fatter, they called me Big Black. That’s how that Kun Jiao also addressed me.”

Xiao Tao, Big Black…

Luo Chen twitched his lips, no wonder the Black Scaled Flood Dragon hadn’t caught on to anything amiss when previously addressed as Big Black.

It really was his name!

But it was too informal.

“I’ll give you a new name!”

The Black Scaled Flood Dragon’s actions halted, and it looked eagerly at Luo Chen, “Are you going to bestow upon me a name, Master?”

Luo Chen nodded, observing the Dragon Horn atop the head of Black Scaled Flood Dragon, already seeing the emerging potential. A Demon Technique was awakened, capable of devouring foreign matter to enhance its own capabilities through its formidable digestive abilities.

If it does not fall in the future, it is sure to achieve greatness, possibly even royal stature.

With that in mind, he gently said, “Let’s call you Black King.”

“Black King?” The Black Scaled Flood Dragon paused, slightly confounded, unable to see any resemblance to a ‘turtle.’

Luo Chen couldn’t help but laugh silently before repeating, “Black King!”

This time, the Black Scaled Flood Dragon understood.

“Black King? Black King!”

After murmuring it a couple of times, a semblance of ecstatic joy appeared.

“Thank you for the name, Master!”

Luo Chen shook his head, “Continue your work!”

Thereafter, he walked nearby, lightly observing for a while before making up his mind.

Constantly resisting the deep-sea pressure with Qi Power and shielding from sea water wasn’t a long-term solution.

Initially, he planned to set up a Second Level water-repelling Array.

However, now, he found a better alternative.

During his contemplation, he took out a recently acquired Compass from his Storage Ring.

First, using his strong Divine Consciousness, he erased the remaining marks of Zhu Qi.

Demon Beasts, physically strong but weak in Divine Soul.

Although at the Third Order Middle Stage, its Divine Soul Endowment was barely at the early stage of third Order.

Over the years, even without deliberate effort, Luo Chen’s Divine Soul Endowment had gradually grown to match that of a typical person at the Late Golden Core Stage!

He also had Mastery over the basics of seven Big Formations, including Obscure Restriction.

Now, with a mere application, within merely a few breaths, he wiped the remnants of the previous owner.

Then, he channeled his Qi Power into it.

The three-tiered, slowly interlocking Compass began to gradually rotate, and the surrounding Earth Vein power and moisture were also drawn in, gradually changing.

Streams of water, with Luo Chen at the center, began to continuously roam and whirl.

The nearby Blood Corals swayed in fright, displaying their instinctual fear.

Gradually, a curtain of water spread out, pushing away the local sea water bit by bit, with clouds of mist dispersing.

It was precisely the Lanyun Mist Cloud Formation!

With a strong concealment effect, and it integrated well with the local environment.

The spreading mist turned into streaks of red light after a few moments, reflecting off the nearby crimson corals, leading anyone to believe they were merely the reflection of the Blood Corals.

Seeing this, Luo Chen nodded in satisfaction.
