Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”It’s simple, I need you to use that Original Source True Fire to help me annihilate the Nether Fire within my body! If this is accomplished, this bottle of Soul Essence amassed by millions of people will be your reward!”

Luo Chen’s face changed slightly, ”Lord Liu, you must be joking, the two True Fires colliding, the battlefield is within your body, aren’t you afraid that...”

”There will be no collision!”

Elder Minghuo shook his head, ”At that time, I will fully suppress the spirituality of the Nether Fire, allowing your True Fire to eradicate it bit by bit. Even if there’s any minor damage, it will be within my capacity to bear.”

Luo Chen opened his mouth, could this really be the logic?

He had experienced the pain caused by the collision of two True Fires within his body.

Nine Refinement Beacon Fire and Nirvana Sacred Fire!

But at that time, the main reason was actually because he did not have enough ability to suppress any True Fire, leading to the disastrous collapse of his body.

If Elder Minghuo were truly able to suppress the Nether Fire within him and cooperate perfectly, then he indeed had the capability to completely obliterate the Nether Fire within him.

However, this inevitably led to another consideration.

Under such circumstances, Elder Minghuo would be almost defenseless, presenting himself completely and openly to Luo Chen.

Life and death at his command; take and give at will!

Luo Chen hesitated and asked, ”Until today, you and I were strangers. Why does Lord Liu trust me so much?”

To this, Elder Minghuo chuckled.

”Of course, it’s not because I’m some naive child with no defenses. I don’t trust you, I trust Daoist Friend Fu.”

At this moment, the rear hall doors opened slowly without any wind blowing.

”Please!”

Luo Chen took a deep breath and stepped into the grand hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw a wealthy elder holding a yellowish Bronze Mirror appear before him.

Upon seeing this person, Luo Chen couldn’t help but smile.

The elder looked at Luo Chen and also greeted with a joyful salute.

”Fu Chaosheng of the Tianyuan Business Alliance, greetings, Daoist Friend Luo Chen!”

The words ”Luo Chen” were emphasized particularly heavily.

Luo Chen paused in his heart and returned the salute as well, ”Independent cultivator Luo Chen, greetings, Daoist Friend Fu.”

Once the two were acquainted, Elder Minghuo said, ”Elder Fu is the mediator for this righteous-demonic truce assembly, responsible for negotiations on behalf of the Central Continent Heaven Dao Sect. In the name of the Holy Land and with the Tianyuan Business Alliance’s reputation, with him as a guarantor, you need not worry about me doing anything malicious to you during the healing process, and I need not worry about you launching a sudden attack. Unless, of course, neither of us wishes to walk in the Immortal Cultivation World again.”

”Huang Independent Cultivator, do you see this feasible?”

Luo Chen glanced at Fu Chaosheng, who smiled and nodded at him.

”In that case, let this independent cultivator give it a try!”

”Good!”

Elder Minghuo released his hand, and the glazed precious vase fell into Fu Chaosheng’s hands.

The meaning was clear.

As long as the task was accomplished, Luo Chen could seek out Fu Chaosheng for his reward.

With the Tianyuan Business Alliance’s reputation of trading across the Five Continents, they wouldn’t embezzle something this trivial.

Luo Chen inquired about the timing of the healing ritual.

Elder Minghuo seemed eager and insisted that today was as good a day as any to perform the healing.

Luo Chen had no objections; the sooner he finished, the sooner he would get the Soul Essence.

As for the ongoing gathering in Guiyuan Palace, neither of them was interested anymore.

Fu Chaosheng only said a few words simply, and then he fell silent. Yet, his small, smiling eyes kept fixed on Luo Chen, showing a keen interest.

...

In the quiet secret chamber.

The elder sat cross-legged, seemingly out of mind, like a walking corpse.

It was clear that all his attention was fully immersed in the Purple Mansion Nascent Soul, striving to suppress the consciousness of the Nether Fire.

Luo Chen stood beside him, his thoughts swayed, and he released the Prosperity and Decline True Fire.

A green-gold Fire Tree stretched its branches and slowly enveloped the elder.

”So, this is the Nether Fire?”

When a branch of the Fire Tree extracted a wisp of deathly white flame, Luo Chen cautiously observed it.

The flame was filled with a sense of death, as if countless Resentful Souls were wailing incessantly within.

Luo Chen appeared serious, surprised that someone had elevated the most ordinary ghost fire to such a level.

Indeed, Nether Fire sounded peculiar, but it wasn’t uncommon in the Immortal Cultivation World.

It essentially was ghost fire formed from the souls and flesh of creatures after death.

To truly discuss its Order, it was even inferior to the human-made Green Sun Devil Fire.

Yet, Elder Minghuo, through great power and immense resources, forcibly raised this fire to the Fourth Order Level.

They even invested a large amount of Soul Essence to greatly enhance its spirituality!

As per Luo Chen’s assessment, this fire was absolutely no less than most Fourth-Order Sourceless Fires seen in the Blazing Refinement Prison, only it hadn’t undergone Transformation yet.

Not yet transformed, but capable of Spirit Communication, it’s no wonder the Nether Fire backfired, aiming to usurp its home.

Forcing growth is never beneficial.

Luo Chen shook his head and urged the Prosperity and Decline True Fire to dissolve the wisp of Nether Fire in his hand.

Just as he was about to continue, a sudden thought occurred to him.

”Why destroy it when you can devour it?”

Thinking of this, Luo Chen was moved.

Such a rare quality of Nether Fire, simply destroying it, would indeed be a waste.

If he could devour it, it might just advance his Prosperity and Decline True Fire further.

Moreover, by doing so, Elder Minghuo’s body wouldn’t suffer any damage, and he would be grateful.

Without hesitation, Luo Chen immediately activated the ”Phoenix Nirvana Sutra,” altering the nature of the Prosperity and Decline True Fire, and immediately infused it into Elder Minghuo’s body, starting to absorb the scattered Nether Fire spread throughout his flesh.

Time passed bit by bit.

One day, two days...

The gathering in Guiyuan Palace ended that same night.
