Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1633: Chapter 602: Eight Hundred Li Penghu, Can Be My Daoist Training Ground_2

The Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering has been established for too short a time; it’s impossible to gather all the rogue cultivators into a single net.

Calculating like this, the foundation of the North Sea Immortal Cultivation World remains truly terrifying.

”The cultivation grounds of the Three Great Independent Cultivators are all within the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range. True Master Longyuan resides year-round in Longyuan Immortal City, while the other three spend most of their time within their respective territories.”

”Unless there’s a major event, they won’t come to the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range.”

”Specific details, you can check the intelligence archives of the Demon Hunter Bureau later. I won’t describe them all to you now.”

The Fishing Elder said leisurely, entirely unhurried.

Luo Chen glanced at his manner, his gaze falling on the map in the elder’s hand, secretly amused.

Soon after, Luo Chen flicked his hand, revealing a jade slip, and casually pushed it towards the elder.

”What’s the meaning of this?” The Fishing Elder feigned surprise in asking.

Luo Chen smiled and said, ”Previously, I saw that Lord Elder was repeatedly amazed at the physique this body refinement cultivated. I imagine you must have a strong interest in body refinement as well. This records my body refinement insights, along with an appendix containing a set of Third Order Body Refinement Methods. You may study it, Elder; perhaps you’ll find some insights in it.”

”As for the previous assessment task, I’ve been grateful for your care and many shared encounters.”

”This is a small token of courtesy from me; please don’t decline it.”

This time, the Fishing Elder was truly stunned!

He hesitantly accepted the jade slip but didn’t immediately check its contents, instead seriously scrutinizing Luo Chen.

”A gift of this caliber, worth its weight in gold, is by no means a mere small courtesy!”

Luo Chen nodded slightly.

This was indeed not a small courtesy!

Even though he omitted some critical nuances of body refinement, the appended Third Order Body Refinement Method was still one of the more basic spoils among his many treasures.

Yet, combining the two made the value well surpass fifty thousand Spirit Stones!

Should someone study the knowledge within and persistently cultivate, within a century, there may truly be a chance to refine an extraordinary physique.

Especially for Late Golden Core Stage cultivators!

To advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, one must achieve perfection in the fusion of the Three Treasures: essence, qi, and spirit, reaching the layer of Three Flowers Gathering at the Head.

Among them, ”essence” refers to blood essence, the physique.

Without a sufficiently tough and powerful physique, one cannot bear a Nascent Soul.

Thus, even Qi Refiners who don’t cultivate their physique, high-order Qi Refiners still undertake considerable refinement of their physique.

The Fishing Elder, now at the Ninth Layer of Golden Core, naturally wouldn’t overlook these details.

Seeing Luo Chen’s sincerity, the elder thought for a moment and ultimately accepted the gift.

His surprise at Luo Chen’s physique was truly heartfelt—who would’ve expected Luo Chen would take this into account and cater to his interests?

”You are certainly thoughtful, but this gift is far too valuable and far beyond any effort I’ve expended prior. If you have other requests, speak them now!”

Luo Chen didn’t stand on ceremony, pointing directly at the map.

”I want information on Third Order Middle Grade, or even Ascendant Grade Cave Mansions. I hope, Lord Elder, you won’t hold back!”

The Fishing Elder raised his brows, carefully sizing up Luo Chen, then nodded slowly.

He waved his hand.

Suddenly, the map trembled with Spirit Light, and more than ten bright spots appeared on it.

Evidently, these were another batch of unclaimed cave mansions, of superior quality—better than those recommended to Duan Li earlier.

Luo Chen internally relaxed.

As expected, this old fellow wouldn’t give anything without seeing profits first.

Duan Li didn’t offer gifts, so the elder had only provided basic information, keeping the better cave mansions to himself.

The mansions Luo Chen had visited earlier were mostly subpar. The Hidden Wind Cave he recommended, though flawed, was already the best choice among them.

Luo Chen’s judgment was correct!

”Qingyang Zi, I must warn you about one thing.”

The Fishing Elder patted the map with a serious expression. ”This batch of cave mansions, while superior in quality, has rental prices that common rogue cultivators cannot afford.”

Luo Chen smiled and said, ”Isn’t there a star-level discount for the Demon Hunter Circle? Besides, there’s you, Elder...”

The Fishing Elder shook his head, ”Even with discounts, they are outrageously expensive. The pricing for these mansions is set by True Masters, and I can’t offer you further concessions. Never mind, let’s take you to see them first!”

As his Qi power surged, the speed of the auspicious clouds instantly increased.

The elder didn’t worry in the slightest about whether Luo Chen could keep up.

With the elder’s guidance, Luo Chen began examining the truly premium cave mansions within the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range.

...

At midnight, under the dense chill.

Two figures lingered on the surface of a misty, boundless lake.

”Are you certain you want to rent this place?”

”Why not?”

”The information on the map is clear as day. Although this Penghu area has three lower-grade Spirit Veins and twenty-seven Second Order Spirit Veins, their distribution is chaotic and does not form a unified momentum. The reason why it’s classified as a top-grade cave mansion is due to the vast geographical area, which could serve as the foundation for an entire sect or family lineage. In the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, though rogue cultivators are the focus, they are still human and must, at some point, consider passing down their heritage. This mansion is practically designed for such individuals. If you truly have the financial means, why not choose one of the other two Third Order Middle Grade cave mansions I recommended? Not only is the concentration of Spirit Qi higher, but their value is far more cost-effective.”

Luo Chen gazed fixedly at the Eight Hundred Li Penghu, his attention finally settling on the central island amidst the lake.

This geographical feature bore some resemblance to the cave mansion he occupied on the Flying Swallow Islands.

Ten Mile Flat Lake, a small island that beckons the moon.

However, this area was tens of times larger.

Indeed, it could serve as the foundation for an entire sect or family!

He nodded resolutely, ”This is the place. My decision is final.”

Seeing the Fishing Elder hesitate, Luo Chen suddenly smiled and said, ”I have a technique that can gather veins and improve their quality. To me, this location’s value is no less than Third Order Ascendant Grade. Elder, you needn’t worry.”
