Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Little Qiong Mountain.

One of the Fourth-order Spirit Mountains within Divine Yuan City.

Even though it’s merely a small Fourth Order Spirit Vein, under the craftsmanship of the Tianyuan Business Alliance, it has been developed into over a hundred cave mansions, accommodating numerous cultivators to cultivate simultaneously.

By comparison, the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering is vast, but its utilization of the Spirit Vein is overly crude.

In the spacious cave mansion, Luo Chen emerges from the quiet room, a satisfied expression on his face.

The Spirit Qi concentration here is quite high, perfectly suited for his current realm cultivation.

He didn’t bother asking the rent; he knew that the lease for such a cave mansion would undoubtedly be astronomical, not something that could be rented with Flower Spirit Stones alone.

Connections are needed!

He was granted this usage without cost only because of the cooperative relationship he established with Fu Chaosheng.

After all, as Luo Chen’s cultivation level increased, it added more certainty to the subsequent protection of his granddaughter.

Fu Hongzhang waited quietly in the living room, and seeing Luo Chen’s satisfied smile, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

”True Master, how do you feel?”

Luo Chen smiled faintly and nodded.

”Thank you for not only collecting resources for me but also arranging such a comfortable environment for cultivation.”

Fu Hongzhang hurriedly waved his hand, ”It’s a task the Family Head has entrusted us with, and we will certainly strive to accomplish it. If True Master has any other needs, please feel free to express them, and I will do my utmost to satisfy them.”

Saying this, he continued confidently, ”Although my abilities leave much to be desired, I have been dealing with the mundane affairs of the Commercial Alliance for many years, involving all sizes of matters. The Family Head mentioned in his letter that if there is anything True Master desires, I must satisfy it within my capability.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, indeed, Fu Chaosheng has invested heavily!

Not only had he ordered preparations of a batch of needed resources before Luo Chen’s arrival, but he also placed the family’s cultivators at his disposal.

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, he asked, ”Do you happen to be aware of the current whereabouts of the Three Great Independent Cultivators of Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering?”

Fu Hongzhang was taken aback, expecting that the other party would be curious about the high-order cultivators in Divine Yuan City or the situation in Zhongzhou, and had already prepared general responses.

Unexpectedly, the other party was more interested in the Three Great Independent Cultivators of the North Sea.

But then, he thought again, the one who calls himself the ”Huang Independent Cultivator” being interested in the similarly named predecessors who made their names earlier is only natural.

Fu Hongzhang pondered for a while, then slowly conveyed what he knew.

”Feng Independent Cultivator, originally known as Fengling Hermit, had been cultivating in seclusion at Fengling Observatory. But after Fengling Observatory was seized by Yuan Mo Sect, he became a home-lost Rogue Cultivator. Around then, the name Feng Independent Cultivator started to gain fame. After visiting Oblivion Sea, he went berserk. Thus, Feng Independent Cultivator became Crazy Independent Cultivator. In recent years, he’s been wandering around the North Sea, always elusive. Information about him is too fragmented. If True Master wants a detailed understanding, I can arrange for someone to bring a compiled dossier afterward.”

Luo Chen responded with a nod, neither affirming nor denying.

His interest lay not with this late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, who’s only known by name.

His true objective was the other two great independent cultivators!

”Moon Independent Cultivator...” Fu Hongzhang hesitated when mentioning that woman.

Luo Chen blinked, ”What happened to her? I heard the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering collapsed under the assault of the Demon Beast Alliance Army; what’s her current situation?”

Fu Hongzhang hesitated, ”The situation with that senior is somewhat difficult to assess.”

”Oh?”

”Before the Demon Union attack, she once visited Divine Yuan City to utilize the cross-sea teleportation formation. Later, she returned in haste to lead Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering against the Demon Union army. According to our information, in that battle, Moon Independent Cultivator demonstrated astonishing late-stage Nascent Soul capabilities, suppressing seven great Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators alone. She even summoned a treasure map intending to utterly defeat the Demon Beast Alliance Army. Yet, at the critical moment, she withdrew, abandoning Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, fleeing alone, never to be seen again.”

Luo Chen listened intently, constantly pondering.

Moon Independent Cultivator borrowing the teleportation formation likely happened when she was pursuing him.

But with Star-chasing Magical Beast and his Soul Splitting Puppet perishing at Soulbreak Cliff, Moon Independent Cultivator lost his trail and had to return without success.

Her cultivation was undisputed, having been exposed during the Ming Zhao Heaven event.

Among the former Three Great Independent Cultivators, the weakest she unexpectedly emerged as a peer of Crazy Independent Cultivator, maintaining both clarity and stable strength.

With her power, combined with the manpower and resources of Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, as long as the invading foes didn’t include a late-stage Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering could always survive.

According to intelligence, she indeed nearly managed to turn the tides and bolster a crumbling fortress.

However, the trouble lies with the word ”nearly.”

”Why did she withdraw?” Luo Chen asked solemnly.

Fu Hongzhang shook his head, ”It’s unclear. Some say an Ancient Monster of God Transformation personally intervened, others believe it was backfired by the treasure map potentially being a spiritual treasure. A relatively credible speculation is that the apparition of Desolate Beast Ghost Immortal Tower deterred her. But ultimately, she has completely vanished, and no one knows where she went.”

Luo Chen contemplated these three possibilities, first ruling out the intervention of an Ancient Monster of God Transformation.

It is well-known that only one Ancient Monster of God Transformation was deployed on the Demon Union’s side—the Sea Emperor Whale.

And this demon, upon emergence, clashed with the human Great Power Li Canghai, leaving no opportunity to deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Between the spiritual treasure backlash and the Desolate Beast Ghost Immortal Tower, he leaned more towards the latter.

No other reason!

It’s simply that in the present North Sea Cultivation World, the infamous name of the Ghost Immortal Tower is truly overwhelming!
