Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1625: Chapter 600: Bloodstained Endlessness, Desolate Beast Stone Dragon

Over the Quyang Sea Area.

Two figures looked at each other and smiled.

A coughing sound came from below, the waves surged, and Duan Li struggled to fly out of the sea and slowly approached the two men.

His face was pale, and from time to time, streaks of black Qi squirmed like earthworms on his cheeks.

The weakness of his breath made it hard to believe that he was a Golden Core Cultivator.

”Cough cough... I... Thank you, Qingyang Zi, for the warning. Otherwise, I would have fallen under this man’s sneak attack,” Duan Li said, his face a mix of black and white, full of gratitude.

Luo Chen waved his hand and smiled, ”No worries, we stand side by side in battle; it was only right to remind you, but it’s a pity for our friend Hao Ye.”

While he was talking, he looked towards the Fishing Elder.

The Fishing Elder raised his eyebrows and flicked his fingers, sending a thread flying from his fingertip, plunging into the depths of the sea.

In no time, he pulled up a severely damaged corpse.

It was Hao Ye’s body.

His eyes were wide open, full of unwillingness; he died with grievances!

Seeing Hao Ye’s body, all three fell silent.

After a while, the Fishing Elder stuffed the corpse along with the deceased’s possessions into a Storage Bag.

”After all, he was a fellow traveler. Even as a Rouge Cultivator, he deserves a burial. I will ensure he is properly buried once we return.”

Luo Chen glanced at his movements; Hao Ye’s Storage Bag, along with his previous Spirit Beast Bag, Flying Sword, were all unabashedly taken by him.

Without doing anything, he reaped so many benefits?

However, the greed of the Fishing Elder was beyond his expectations.

The elder snapped his fingers continuously, and threads kept flying out in front of them.

Quickly, the black wooden sword of the White-Clothed Cultivator, along with his Storage Bag, and even the corpse were tied up.

”Qingyang Zi.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and released the Primordial Chaos Tripod chain that was binding the White-Clothed Cultivator, allowing the Fishing Elder to collect all the spoils.

He made no resistance, but Duan Li looked somewhat indignant when he saw this.

”Lord Fishing Elder, this man was brought down by our hard effort. Although Qingyang Zi made great contributions, how could you...”

The Fishing Elder laughed heartily, completely disregarding his indignation.

”Forgive me, this is the rule of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering. The initial examination task is like this. Later, when you undertake other missions in the capacity of Demon Hunters, the spoils of war can be handled by yourselves.”

As he spoke, he patted the bulging Storage Bags at his waist.

”These items are not for my own greed. Later, they will be handed over to the Demon Hunter Bureau, and after screening, they will be contributed for exchange by all Demon Hunters.”

”As you are the parties involved, you will have the priority to choose first. I will inform you when the time comes.”

With these words, he made an argument so solid that no one could find a flaw.

Luo Chen said nothing.

Duan Li naturally did not dare to say more.

However, after a brief silence, Duan Li tentatively said, ”I guess I failed this examination task, right? Why do I still get a share?”

The Fishing Elder stroked his gray-white beard, ”Who said you failed?”

”But...” Duan Li looked at Luo Chen, who remained unmoved.

The Fishing Elder explained, ”This examination task was taken by the three of us together, as long as it’s successful, it counts as a joint effort. The specific evaluation will be audited by me, the Supervisor Officer.”

”For Qingyang Zi, there’s no doubt, directly promoted to a Four-Star Demon Hunter.”

”As for friend Duan Li, although you did not take the main credit, you also made some efforts. Later, after I bring back the Mirage Pearl, other Elders of the Demon Hunter Bureau will review it, and you will also receive an appropriate Demon Hunter Star Rank. It’s hard to say how many stars, but you will definitely have a position.”

While speaking, he showed the Orb in his hand.

The Mirage Pearl, a special Magic Item from the North Sea, can store images.

Its principle originates from the Water Mirror Technique and other image-storing Techniques and Magic Tools, yet it goes a step further.

Luo Chen looked at the Mirage Pearl, his brows subconsciously furrowed.

Seemingly knowing what he was thinking, the Fishing Elder reassured, ”Rest assured, the images here will not be leaked by the Demon Hunter Bureau, and your combat methods will be kept as confidential as possible.”

Luo Chen’s brows eased a bit, but he remained half-doubtful.

The Fishing Elder could not provide more assurances since participating in the examination task meant abiding by some unwritten rules.

Meanwhile, Duan Li couldn’t help but cough a few times again.

”Do we still have matters to attend to? If not, let’s head back. I urgently need to tend to my injuries.”

The Fishing Elder looked around, ”We can leave at any time, but we have to wait for Qingyang Zi to finish up.”

As he said this, he withdrew his smile and looked towards Luo Chen.

”Is that enough?”

Duan Li was startled, his gaze falling on the sea surface, where the ghosts were fiercely battling each other.

With no master to control it, the White-Clothed Cultivator’s Soul-Refining Flag became an ownerless object. Unfortunately, he had used all the ghosts within it to set up the Dark Realm before.

Now that the Dark Realm was broken, the huge strange Ghost King had returned to its original form and attempted to flee the area.

However, it was fiercely attacked by other Ghost Kings, who occasionally tore off pieces of its soul body.

Obviously, those attacking Ghost Kings were from Luo Chen’s doing!

Luo Chen hummed, summoning back his Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

After a great battle, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was not only undamaged but had also accumulated more Ghost Qi.

Especially the strange Ghost King, resembling neither human nor beast, had also been captured by a group of Demon Crab Ghost Kings!
