Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Really?”

”Absolutely!”

Luo Chen frowned, ”With such actions, is there no one in the Daoist Sect who questions it?”

Fu Qinglan pursed her lips, smoothing the strands of hair that draped to her mouth, her expression troubled, ”Everything is going according to plan; even the fellow clan willingly merged. Who would question it?”

Luo Chen understood.

It seems Shi Ju is indeed a genius spoiled by the Sect and his Clan!

Promises given by cultivators should not be so easily broken.

Even without mentioning vows or oaths, a normal promise should be treated seriously.

The ”mockery” mentioned by the woman in front was quite fitting.

Shi Ju wasn’t coveting beauty, nor seeking their family’s backing, only wanting to mock and toy with these women.

Stuck in this peaceful region of internal conflict, other than cultivation, he probably got bored and sought some amusement!

Luo Chen thought thus.

Fu Qinglan then explained a few more points, such as she being the Fu Family’s hope, and certainly not to marry away into other clans.

Luo Chen had no interest in listening to such clichés and instead appeared solemn.

”So, this is the reason why someone has specifically been waiting for us.”

Fu Qinglan was taken aback.

The next moment, an old farmer with his hands tucked in his pockets walked out from the bend in the mountain.

His attire was simple, devoid of silk and satin, only coarse clothes, cloth shoes, with white leggings tucked into his shoes and socks, and a white cloth on his head, commonly used by Spirit Farmers for wiping sweat.

His body hunched, face with a sorrowful expression.

Fu Qinglan blurted out.

”Elder Qi!”

”Miss Qinglan is still so kind-hearted, unlike others who call me Old Ghost Qi.”

Upon seeing Fu Qinglan, the old farmer nodded to signal.

Then, he looked at Luo Chen, straightened his back while speaking.

”Are you Miss Qinglan’s protector? I would like to test your abilities to see if you’re qualified to safeguard her.”

As he stood straight, a gust of Gang Qi rushed around, his tall body instantly stood like a Heroic City before them.

Without giving Luo Chen any chance to speak, he took a step forward and swung his fist.

Luo Chen squinted slightly, Nascent Soul True Master? Or Physical Cultivator?

Or perhaps, both?

If he wasn’t mistaken, such fierce Qi Strength seemed like Gang Qi, which only orthodox Physical Cultivators could cultivate.

Such a strong opponent, if in the Outer World, Luo Chen would naturally relish in a good fight. He had always wanted to test his Desolate Beast Body Refining Method against traditional Physical Cultivators to see which is superior.

But this is the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range!

Where the Tianyuan Daoist Sect is located!

As an outsider, it’s not easy for him to make a move.

If he did, the Fu Family might not be able to protect him, and Heaven and Earth Peak might not exert effort to shield a mere External Affairs Guest Elder.

Whereas the opponent, being so determined, likely had no such concerns.

Therefore...

Facing the punch that came crashing from the sky, Luo Chen did not dodge or evade.

Boom!

A shallow indent appeared on the ground.

So shallow, it showed the precision with which the opponent controlled his force, and indicated he hadn’t exerted full strength.

But Qi Xiongcheng was dumbstruck.

Passed by?

How could it be!

As he looked up, the white-robed Daoist before him was calm, illusion magic surged and surrounded him.

Those gentle eyes turned into a bottomless abyss, alluring one to fall in.

”This...”

In his daze, Qi Xiongcheng’s resolute consciousness instantly shattered the illusion.

Upon opening his eyes again, there was no Daoist in front!

Only a residual Qi Power’s illusory shadow.

He looked back, Luo Chen had floated away, Fu Qinglan followed closely behind, but frequently turned to look at him.

Qi Xiongcheng’s right hand hung in the air, standing dazed.

”Illusion Technique?”

”Then when did I fall into it?”

Clearly standing there with a straight back, yet inexplicably, his spine seemed hunched again.
