Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Tianshan True Master made a sound of acknowledgment and rose with composure, swallowing a feeble swimming fish that emerged from the void into his mouth.

”Let’s go. Though I didn’t hurt Huang Independent Cultivator, he is quite infuriated and is currently casting some technique to seek revenge on me. But rest assured, being so far apart, there’s nothing much he can do to us.”

The divine consciousness of a Nascent Soul True Master can cover a radius of a thousand miles or even several thousand miles, and during a full-scale battle, the area of impact is roughly this range.

However, this usually refers to the destruction caused during a mobile battle.

If too far apart, it is nearly impossible to launch a technique capable of threatening the opponent within the same realm.

This is why Tianshan True Master moved forward fearlessly.

It’s also the reason he dared to launch a surprise attack on Luo Chen after retreating for a thousand miles.

Whether he succeeds or fails, it matters not.

At this moment, his heart was instead sighing over the ”fall” of the Wrathful King Kong.

In this Cave Heaven, the ones most suited for combat are actually high-order Body Refiners like the Wrathful King Kong.

For Qi Refiners like them, they were quite restrained.

The Heaven and Earth Qi was scattered, the power of the Nascent Soul Domain was diminished, and deploying various magic items greatly consumed qi power, far from as simple and direct as with Body Refiners.

In such musings, Tianshan True Master instinctively looked up.

In the void, a massive dragon head suddenly emerged from the clouds.

Stern aspect, with long whiskers.

Spewing flames from its mouth, its eyes filled with rage.

He was taken aback and hurriedly pushed aside the bewildered Yu Xu.

”Go wait for me at the old place!”

The next moment, a Flame Dragon descended to destroy everything!

Yu Xu was thrown back several hundred feet before she could stabilize...

”Poof!”

She spat out a mouthful of blood, looking in horror at the giant pit left behind by the massive qi power.

Within, the silhouette of Tianshan True Master was no longer visible.

Yu Xu swallowed hard, involuntarily looking towards the sky, then back from where she came.

A divine consciousness swept over her, making her shiver all over.

”Killing the same order from a thousand miles away!”

”Is this technique perhaps one of the seven great divine powers of our Daoist Sect, the Void Underworld Qi Slash?”

”No, absolutely not. That was clearly some kind of fire type technique, and Huang Independent Cultivator is merely an External Affairs Guest Elder of Star Gate, not even an official Guest Elder, he has no chance to learn the divine powers of my Daoist Sect. Even Fu Qinglan himself doesn’t yet qualify to learn the seven divine powers, much less pass them on to Huang Independent Cultivator.”

With her heart filled with shock, thoughts surged within her mind.

As she stood paralyzed with indecision, a faint glimmer shakily rose, bringing with it a storage ring which landed in her hand.

Gazing at the firefly-like glow in her hand, Yu Xu let out a long sigh.

”Tianshan True Master managed to substitute his death, and will merely need to rest for a while. I’ll still have a chance.”

With these thoughts flashing by, she quickly left the original place.

Yet before leaving, she couldn’t help but glance once more in the direction where Luo Chen was, her eyes filled with dread.

...

”He still didn’t die?”

Luo Chen released the seal gesture, his expression slightly weary.

The Descending Flame Dragon technique was much harder than the Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plain.

Until now, he had only barely brought its proficiency to the mastery level.

He thought that taking the enemy by surprise would be enough to kill Tianshan True Master, but unexpectedly, the opponent seemed to use some kind of life substitution method to survive.

”So this is a Southern Border Gu Cultivator?”

”Their combat style is so treacherous and insidious, that other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators would have suffered greatly.”

”If ever I encounter Southern Border Gu Cultivators again, I must be doubly cautious.”

As Luo Chen thought this, he looked around and felt a sense of dullness.

He had fought for nothing and gained no spoils of war, just a few Buddha beads.

Wasting a lot of qi power for nothing.

Such battles are best avoided when possible.

Fu Qinglan approached cautiously.

”Xiang Qi ran away.”

”Hmm, I know.”

Luo Chen nodded.

As the prodigy of the premier Xiang Family among the Thirty-Six Noble Clans, he was naturally equipped with a wealth of precious items.

During the battle between Luo Chen and the two masters, the opponent took advantage of the precious items to retreat far away, and upon seeing the defeat of the Wrathful King Kong, disappeared without a trace.

Running away is just running away!

Without the protector’s support, no matter if it’s hunting illusion beasts or comprehending the law, it’ll all be countless times more troublesome.

It can be said that even if Xiang Qi remained in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, he would pose little threat to Luo Chen and Fu Qinglan.

”Let’s go!”

Luo Chen stepped into the air and flew.

Fu Qinglan had countless things she wanted to say, but couldn’t find a way to start.

After following Luo Chen for a while, she noticed something amiss.

”Aren’t we going back to the original place?”

”We’ll change places.”

”Is it because you’re worried others will track us down?”

”That is a concern, given the earlier commotion was too great. But mainly, there are very few illusion beasts left in the vicinity, and the time needed for hunting is increasingly long. Changing locations makes capturing illusion beasts more convenient.”

”Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

The figures of a man and a woman gradually receded, their voices of conversation fading into the sweltering wind.

Leaving only the devastated land and shattered mountains, speaking silently of the one-sided battle that had taken place here.
