Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Leaving the side hall, Shang Sihai’s footsteps were slow.

When the formation emerged, he was slightly surprised.

Then he saw Luo Chen appear in his line of sight.

At this moment, certain suspicions in Shang Sihai’s heart were completely confirmed.

”Friend, let’s return together!”

...

Inside the palace, transactions among the cultivators were still ongoing.

However, one glance after another occasionally landed on True Master Langya.

Some even used divine consciousness to quietly inquire about Luo Chen’s background from True Master Langya.

But True Master Langya had a bitter smile and knew nothing about three things.

Indeed, a mere entry-level Nascent Soul, yet unafraid of the renowned Lie Tian Sect Master, and now he even took out over a billion Spirit Stones in one go.

You say he’s a rogue cultivator?

Who would believe that?

Nobody would!

Especially the returning Shang Sihai, who discovered that the other party even had a spatial magic item for storing herbs, further confirming his belief that the other party was not a rogue cultivator, but a strong figure of some powerful force traveling outside.

Therefore, in the subsequent transaction phases, everyone especially focused on Luo Chen’s movements.

However, this time, it left them a little disappointed.

No matter what rare and unique items they presented afterward, Luo Chen remained motionless, entirely uninterested.

High-grade herbs, minerals, corpses and skeletons of powerful demon beasts, and even incomplete true devices, he showed no desire to act at all.

You must know, true artifacts are the standard magical items for Nascent Soul True Masters, but not every Nascent Soul True Master has one.

During transcending tribulation, one can use the power of Thunder Tribulation to promote an Ascendant Grade magic item to a true device.

But that requires time and immense power!

Not everyone has the strength to transcend tribulation while advancing their magic treasure rank.

Many Nascent Soul True Masters have nurtured their true artifacts over long years of cultivation, gradually fostering them by linking with the power of heaven and earth through their Nascent Soul.

The fact that Huang Independent Cultivator shows no interest in true devices probably means he already has a suitable true device for himself.

Thus, it further confirms the speculation that Luo Chen comes from a significant background.

Luo Chen’s eyes viewed his nose, the nose considered his mouth, and the mouth focused inward, sitting there with a serene demeanor.

He indeed had no interest in these trading resources.

From his trip to the Land of Fallen Demons, he had acquired too many high-tier resources, whether it be herbs or ores.

In terms of weaponry, he lacked.

But it wasn’t those incomplete items, not those that mismatched his attributes.

Now he’s only waiting for one thing.

That is Soul Essence!

True Master Langya did not deceive him, indeed some people were taking out Soul Essence for trade.

But the quantity was incredibly scarce, unable to satisfy his needs at all.

It was instead Nan Qi Old Ghost who was constantly purchasing, which particularly drew Luo Chen’s attention.

Could he possibly have a method to utilize Soul Essence as well?

Just as the first phase was about to end, the long-silent Minghuo Sect Master finally straightened his stance slowly.

”This old man has a large amount of Soul Essence for sale.”

A glazed precious vase appeared in his hand.

At this moment, Nan Qi Old Ghost stood up straight away.

”Friend, trade it to me!”

Minghuo Sect Master glanced at him, ”Do you know what I desire?”

Nan Qi Old Ghost chuckled, ”No more than the resources that can resolve the wounds on your body. I have a third-Order Fire-Addicted Gu that can devour Sourceless Fire, and if matched with Daoist Lie Tian’s Nine Nether Pure Wind, it will surely be a cure. So, what do you think?”

Minghuo Sect Master’s gaze fell upon the Lie Tian Sect Master.

The other snorted lightly but did not deny.

”It seems you have indeed gathered some intelligence. However...”

As soon as ’however’ came out, Nan Qi Old Ghost’s expression changed instantly.

He had put so much effort into contacting the Lie Tian Sect Master just to exchange for the large amount of Soul Essence Minghuo Sect Master had accumulated over hundreds of years. Is something unexpected going to happen now?

Minghuo Sect Master’s eyes moved to Luo Chen, ”Huang Independent Cultivator, would you be open to a private chat with this old man?”

Luo Chen showed a look of surprise.

He was just pondering how to go all out to compete with Nan Qi Old Ghost for the Soul Essence, and unexpectedly, Minghuo Sect Master approached him first.

If that’s the case!

”Naturally, I am open to it!”

Minghuo Sect Master slowly got up, holding the glazed precious vase, and walked step by step towards the door.

Each step left scorched footprints on the ground.

Luo Chen’s gaze fell upon those footprints thoughtfully.

And in the great hall, Nan Qi Old Ghost looked gloomy, entirely unexpected that his well-laid plans were disrupted by an outsider.

The Lie Tian Sect Master was puzzled by this scene but upon reflection, a conjecture emerged in his mind.

Because of this conjecture, which was close to the truth, he was even more astonished.

”How bold of Elder Minghuo, to rather place trust in a mysterious outsider than me?”

”Moreover, how can he be so sure that Huang Independent Cultivator has such capabilities?”
