Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Ran Feng asked in confusion, ”But now that over a hundred years have passed, is it impossible for him to encounter any accident?”

True Master Shenhuo chuckled lightly, ”Like those cunning and crafty creatures that crawl out from the mud pits, how would he die so easily? During the Yu Ding internal conflict, he lived well. During the open war, he conquered the sect’s blessed land. Even during the legendary Cangwu Mountain battle, he managed to survive. What could be more dangerous than these that would prevent him from enduring?”

Ran Feng suddenly realized, becoming more interested in the legendary figure.

”I’ve heard that he was mentioned by the Supreme Elder?”

True Master Shenhuo smirked slightly, aware of his senior brother’s increasing indiscretion.

Shaking his head, True Master Shenhuo whispered, ”Indeed, this child is crucial for our sect’s Supreme Elder to advance to Divine Transformation, thus constant recruitment efforts. Even if the other party disappeared, it’s important to control his weakness, waiting for him to come willingly.”

The term recruitment is not just a verbal expression.

Back when Luo Chen advanced to the Golden Core Period, the Five Elements Divine Sect extended an invitation across realms, but it was directly rejected by the other party.

Later, after the demon chaos, the Five Elements Divine Sect repeatedly protected the Luo Tian Sect, also waiting for Luo Chen to join willingly.

Unfortunately, so many years have passed, and Luo Chen has yet to appear, while the Luo Tian Sect attempts to leverage Fenghua Palace to escape the sect’s control, which the ancestor cannot tolerate.

Of course, the external explanation is that the Luo Tian Sect is ungrateful, thus its forced merger to recover losses.

Famous reasons, with more supporters!

The Mount Sky Cliff had early connections with Sima Wenjie, and now seeks to leverage the opportunity to infiltrate the Fenghua District, so they collaborate and test Fenghua Palace’s boundaries.

Both sides acted together, put forth Sima Wenjie as the puppet, leading to this internal conflict of the Luo Tian Sect.

True Master Shenhuo wanted to say more, but suddenly paused.

”Come in, everyone is here.”

True Master Shenhuo flicked his sleeves, directly entering the building from the balcony.

Meanwhile, footsteps echoed from the corridor.

Shortly after, an old man in a gray robe entered with Sima Wenjie.

”Old Ghost Mo Tian, how have you been lately?”

”Shenhuo, you’re still so hypocritical.” Old Ghost Mo Tian sneered and then reprimanded, ”Today, you ruined everything.”

True Master Shenhuo remained indifferent, ”Emei was defeated, but it’s not a big deal. The Yu Ding Sword Cultivator I invited won, didn’t he?”

”Both battles should have been victories!”

Sima Wenjie suddenly interrupted, looking dissatisfied.

”If we had followed my plan, with Daoist Qu taking charge, there’s a high chance of securing victory against Sha Dragon Child!”

In a discussion between True Masters, how dare a mere Golden Core junior interrupt?

However, True Master Shenhuo merely glanced at him without reprimanding.

”Have we settled on candidates for tomorrow’s battle?”

Old Ghost Mo Tian replied, ”I came to discuss this matter with you; there’s a high possibility Wang Yuan will act tomorrow. For that battle, I suggest deploying Yin Sixiang from your sect.”

Upon hearing this, Ran Feng’s expression immediately changed.

True Master Shenhuo didn’t hesitate to dismiss the notion.

”Impossible!”

”Nephew Disciple Sixiang is at Golden Core Great Finalization, at a critical juncture for advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage; how could he be sent out?”

Old Ghost Mo Tian sneered, ”War Devil Wang Yuan’s prowess isn’t unknown to you, his body refinement expertise nearly reaches the Fourth Realm Leakless Golden Body. Without Nascent Soul, ordinary Golden Cores can hardly deal with him. Only Yin Sixiang of your Five Elements Divine Sect can match him. Are you not aiming to take down Wang Yuan tomorrow?”

”It’s not impossible!” True Master Shenhuo responded naturally, ”Disputing equals with equals signifies mutual destruction. Perhaps forego this battle and focus on the subsequent three battles.”

”No way!”

Sima Wenjie interrupted again, outright rejecting True Master Shenhuo’s suggestion.

Confident, he stated, ”Wang Yuan is the banner of the Luo Tian Sect, the embodiment of everyone’s confidence. If he loses, it would be a significant blow to the Luo Tian Sect! The following three battles can be won effortlessly.”

Getting brushed off twice by Sima Wenjie made True Master Shenhuo’s face darken.

He scrutinized Sima Wenjie for a moment, then suddenly laughed, ”Are you afraid of prolonged engagements, eventually facing Sima Huiniang head-on?”

Sima Wenjie’s complexion turned from green to white, showcasing a spectrum of colors.

Old Ghost Mo Tian timely intervened to spare his embarrassment.

”I also think we should defeat Wang Yuan tomorrow; with a victory, we’d have five consecutive wins. This would strike a critical blow to the confidence of the Luo Tian Sect disciples, placing us on unassailable ground, forcing Fenghua Palace to intervene and exposing their superficiality to everyone in the Fenghua District.”

”You don’t need to worry about Yin Sixiang’s safety. I have a True Device here that can restrain Physical Cultivators, ensuring his victory over Wang Yuan. With this, not only can our goals be achieved, but it can also help to bring fame to the mighty ones of the Five Elements Divine Sect. Isn’t that something worth celebrating?”

”Oh?” True Master Shenhuo raised an eyebrow, ”Tell me more.”

...

”Wen Jie, once this is done, don’t forget what you promised me.”

After True Master Shenhuo departed, Old Ghost Mo Tian held Sima Wenjie back and said this.

Sima Wenjie immediately understood the matter at hand.

”I won’t forget, Senior!”

”Once I become the Sect Master of Luo Tian Sect, I can rightfully request the original ’Dust Origin Technique’ from Wang Yuan. I’ve heard that this Core Formation Secret Art is different from the simplified version we practice; it is of the Supreme Method level, created personally by Luo Chen.”

”With this technique’s assistance, Mount Sky Cliff can surely revive the grand era of abundant Golden Core cultivators!”

Abundant Golden Core cultivators?

Old Ghost Mo Tian sighed inwardly; this is all he seeks.

In that battle of opening war years ago, his most promising junior, Wei Wuya, fell in the Yu Race Sacred Land at Cangwu Mountain.

This left Mount Sky Cliff without successors.

If it just ended there, it would have been fine. Yet, during the subsequent century of warfare, Mount Sky Cliff not only lost Golden Core cultivators one after another but also faced a lack of successors.

Under these circumstances, Luo Tian Sect had an unusual streak of Core Formation successes, which piqued his curiosity.

Back when Luo Tian Sect was still under others’ wings in the Five Elements Realm, he started tempting Sima Wenjie, attempting to uncover the secret behind Luo Tian Sect’s abundance of Golden Core cultivators.

Unfortunately, the invasion by the Demon Clan was too swift.

The Five Elements Realm couldn’t withstand the attack from the Demon Clan, and Luo Tian Sect turned to Fenghua Palace.

This time, having Sima Wenjie step up to vie for the supremacy within Luo Tian Sect was seemingly to test Fenghua Palace’s limits and secure a better Spirit Vein Blessed Land for Mount Sky Cliff. But in reality, it was his coveting of the Supreme Method Core Formation Secret Technique known as ’Dust Origin Technique,’ intending to revitalize Mount Sky Cliff!

Everyone, every force, has their own aspirations.

Including Sima Wenjie.

With the support of the two Ascendant Sects, he was exceptionally inflated, his resentment magnified to the extreme.

In his view, there was nothing wrong with his actions.

Luo Tian Sect rightfully should belong to the Sima Family!

At its founding, it was his second sister managing Luo Tian Sect, handling various general matters day after day, never slacking off.

For Luo Tian Sect, his older brother was even more devoted to the bitter end.

Since Luo Chen has disappeared, the sect naturally should belong to his Sima Family.

Yet, the training resources of the sect were invested entirely in juniors like Sha Dragon Child, Mei Ruoki, and Yuan Yijun.

Even the position of the Second Generation Sect Master was given to Yao Mingyue!

What did he, Sima Wenjie, receive?

He repeatedly questioned his second sister.

His second sister’s answer left him speechless.

”When my husband was alive, he established the sect’s heritage as the core idea, and I must adhere to it.”

To hell with heritage!

When he was risking his life for Luo Tian Sect, how could they not consider him part of the heritage?

Even the Nether Origin Pill, which his second sister didn’t need after her unexpected Core Formation, wasn’t aimed at him.

On the contrary, it was granted to that elder Min Longyu.

He, Sima Wenjie, being one of the oldest members who joined Luo Tian Creed, once managed significant affairs of the sect, and being the Sect Master’s own brother, the Supreme Elder’s brother-in-law, received nothing. Even when he wanted to form his core, core formation resources couldn’t be squeezed out.

As people left and the place deserted, Sima Wenjie stood alone above, his face gloomy and fierce, fury surging within.

”This is all too unfair!”

”I am merely reclaiming what rightfully belongs to me!”

”You can’t blame me!”
