Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

He gradually understood why Caiyi Gu didn’t want him to fight to the death.

Not to mention whether he could really perish with the enemy, if he died, it would be the greatest loss for the Luo Tian Sect!

Over the years, the Luo Tian Sect has managed to preserve most of its strength in numerous escapes, greatly attributed to his array formation techniques.

The fellow disciples were able to maintain their advancement in realm during exile, also due to the assistance from his array formations.

It can be said, if the Luo Tian Sect continues to wander in the future, then anyone could die, except for the emblematic figures Wang Yuan and himself.

After understanding this, he no longer indulged in self-pity.

Upon reaching the destination, he walked to Caiyi Gu’s side.

”I’m sorry, my tone was a bit harsh earlier.”

Caiyi Gu reluctantly forced a smile, ”It’s best that junior brother can understand.”

Within the Luo Tian Sect, the various Golden Core Cultivators are not from the same master, and mostly come from Rogue Cultivator backgrounds.

But after two hundred years together, they have come to address each other as senior and junior brothers, showing how good their relations are.

Moreover, since Caiyi Gu formed her core earlier, she addresses Min Longyu as junior brother.

Min Longyu sighed, ”Though I was preserved, our sect has already lost four battles, what should we do next?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s spirits inevitably sank lower.

”We’ll discuss inside!”

Wang Yuan said calmly and walked straight in.

Leaving behind a towering figure, as broad as a mountain.

Everyone felt reassured and followed inside.

Soon, the high-ranking members of the Luo Tian Sect, qualified to participate in sect matters, gathered in a room.

There were five people, Caiyi Gu had not arrived yet.

Min Longyu was carefully inspecting the array that shielded against external detection.

Wang Yuan rested with his eyes closed, Sha Dragon Child stood behind him.

Li Yingzhang, after narrowly winning the first match using the Fierce Battle Technique, suffered great depletion of vital energy. He had been sent back to the sect’s mountain gate for recuperation.

At the moment, three Golden Core Cultivators remained present.

Namely, Chu Kui, Fu Jiusheng, and Zong Jiu Lang.

At this moment, Chu Kui wore a look of shame.

”It’s my fault. I should have won the second match.”

Fu Jiusheng shook his head, ”It’s not your fault, the helpers that Sima Wenjie brought were not weak, especially since he knows our bottom line. If Junior Brother Li hadn’t held back, we couldn’t have unexpectedly won the first match.”

Li Yingzhang, once a Li family cultivator from the Qin Flower River, has kept a low profile since joining the Luo Tian Sect.

Very few cultivators in the Luo Tian Sect knew of his special physique — the Nine-Bend Return Physique.

His qi power was stronger than his peers even during the Qi Refinement Stage.

This potential should have been revealed after Foundation Establishment.

However, due to the battle at Accumulation Thunder Mountain back in the day, he was severely injured. Even though Supreme Elder Luo Chen saved him later, his foundation was damaged.

Since then, he became more and more silent.

Few people knew that he devoted much effort to studying the ”Dust Origin Technique,” advancing ahead of everyone, perfectly mastering this technique, and even using it to advance to the Golden Core Period.

With the Nine-Bend Return Physique, coupled with the ”Dust Origin Technique,” his deep qi power was beyond ordinary imagination.

Thus, even in the first battle facing an opponent with a higher realm, he managed to exhaust the opponent through the Fierce Battle Technique.

But in the subsequent three battles, the Luo Tian Sect lost all.

Chu Kui underestimated the enemy.

Fu Jiusheng was restrained.

As for Zong Jiu Lang, who joined the Luo Tian Sect later, he was simply inferior to his opponent.

If it weren’t for Sha Dragon Child resolutely severing ties in the fifth match, it would likely have been the end of the Luo Tian Sect today.

Chu Kui felt deeply guilty, not daring to look up at Wang Yuan and his disciple.

Footsteps were heard coming from outside.

Everyone looked up to see Caiyi Gu pushing the door open.

Chu Kui promptly asked, ”How is the Old Sect Master doing over there?”

The Old Sect Master naturally referred to Sima Huiniang.

Caiyi Gu hesitated to speak, finally sighing.

”She can fight, but wants to be saved for last.”

Zong Jiu Lang frowned, ”Given the current winning and losing situation, I’m afraid with our manpower, we cannot drag it out to the tenth match!”

”Even if we cannot delay it, we must try to!” Gu Caiyi’s willow brows rose sharply, and she said resolutely. Especially recalling Sima Wenjie’s smug demeanor during the day, she felt even more repulsed, ”Tomorrow, I will act. I am curious to see how that beast plans to target me?”

At this moment, Wang Yuan, who had been resting with closed eyes for a long time, slowly opened them.

”You are not suitable to act tomorrow.”

”Hmm?” Gu Caiyi was puzzled.

Wang Yuan calmly stated, ”Unless absolutely necessary, you and Junior Sister Sima are not suitable for acting.”

Gu Caiyi was puzzled, ”I understand why Huiniang shouldn’t act; she is the Old Sect Master, and she and Sima Wenjie are siblings. The sect’s internal conflict has already become a huge joke, and siblings fighting each other would only make it worse. But what about me? Is there any concern?”

”You are his Dao Companion!”

With just this sentence, everything was explained.

Gu Caiyi’s face suddenly turned red and then white. She sat down and quickly stood up again, pointing her jade finger at Wang Yuan, too angry to speak for a long time.

Sha Dragon Child whispered, ”Martial Uncle, leave these matters to us! If things don’t work out, we can ask Jueqing Fairy for help.”

”She is not one of our Luotian Sect disciples, who knows if she will betray us at the last moment?”

Gu Caiyi retorted.

Sha Dragon Child was momentarily speechless.

Wang Yuan tapped the table, and once everyone’s gaze was on him, he spoke in a grave tone:

”Tomorrow’s battle is of utmost importance. In the morning, I will personally take action to secure a win and stabilize the situation.”

”As for the second duel, I have already sent word within the sect that Qin Yuanjiang will come over.”

”Whether he wins or loses, he will drag the Ten Decisive Duels to the final day. At that time...”

Wang Yuan looked at Gu Caiyi, ”By then, when no one is left in the sect, it will be your turn.”

Qin Yuanjiang is trustworthy.

He was originally the son of Luo Chen’s friends Qin Liangchen and his wife, and when the Luo Yun Sect was falling, he came seeking refuge at the Luotian Sect with his gravely injured mother Murong Qinglian. Although Murong Qinglian was unfortunately unable to be cured and passed away, Qin Yuanjiang remained.

”I do not doubt Qin Yuanjiang’s loyalty, but I question his strength.” Gu Caiyi voiced some concerns, mainly because Qin Yuanjiang’s Core Formation just happened recently, and she was more inclined to enter the fight herself tomorrow.

If both she and Wang Yuan win tomorrow, it can be extended to the final day.

Just now, meeting with Sima Huiniang, the other party had decisively resolved to clean up her own house, even if that sect traitor was her brother.

Wang Yuan still disagreed.

As both sides were at an impasse, the wooden door was knocked upon.

Was it Qin Yuanjiang already?

So soon?

With everyone puzzled, Min Longyu went to open the door.

A man and a woman looked at everyone with a smile.

The man’s face was weathered, and he looked melancholic, but his smile was just as radiant as when he was a child.

”Uncles and Martial Uncle Wang Yuan, apologies for my tardiness.”

Everyone stood up together, looking at the arrivals somewhat stunned.

Gu Caiyi was first taken aback and then hurried forward to grab the man’s arm.

”Ling Jun, why aren’t you staying at Fenghua Palace properly, what brings you here?”

Qu Lingjun shook his head, ”The sect is in trouble, how could I sit idly by? Besides, over these years, I’ve owed Luotian Sect a lot, and it’s time for me to act.”

Owed a lot?

If this was said a few decades ago, everyone present would have believed it.

But now, no one doubted Qu Lingjun anymore.

For years, Luotian Sect has been able to frequently produce Golden Core cultivators, which is a result of their own diligent cultivation and Luo Chen’s Core Formation secret art, also thanks to Qu Lingjun’s discreet support.

Especially when Luotian Sect fled to Fenghua District, unlike other forces struggling to find a foothold and battling local powers fiercely.

Luotian Sect was the first to be arranged by Fenghua Palace in a place with a Third Order Spirit Vein.

All of this evidently had Qu Lingjun’s involvement.

He’s definitely not someone who forgets his roots after climbing high!

However...

Gu Caiyi, both amused and annoyed, said, ”You’re only at Sixth Level Foundation Establishment, where would you get the chance to act?”

Qu Lingjun smiled slightly and pointed to the woman beside him, saying, ”I may be out of my league, but my wife does have some means.”

The stunningly beautiful woman nodded in acknowledgment.

”Fenghua Palace, Meng Qin’er!”

As she spoke, a wave of Golden Core Period spirit pressure unfolded slowly.
