Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Inside Lingtian Pass.

Old Ghost Mo Tian had a fierce quarrel with True Master Shenhuo, ending in discord.

As the favorite disciple of True Master Shenhuo, Ran Feng curiously asked, ”Master Ancestor, why not make a move against Luo Chen?”

He had already reached the Golden Core stage and had long dealings with the Luo Tian Sect, so he knew some of the secrets.

He was aware of the internal coveting by the Divine Sect Supreme towards Luo Chen.

Logically, this should be a good opportunity.

With the power of two Ascendant Sects, to make a move against Luo Chen, requesting Lingtian City Lord to punish Luo Chen, and then take advantage...

”What significance is there in making a move?” True Master Shenhuo looked in the direction Old Ghost Mo Tian left, squinted his eyes slightly, and asked casually.

”Uh...” Ran Feng couldn’t articulate a reason.

True Master Shenhuo continued, ”Regardless of whether the Lingtian City Lord will punish Luo Chen, just his current identity as a Nascent Soul True Master ensures the punishment won’t be too severe. At most, just penalize with some Spirit Stones and perform some hard tasks, such punishments are of no effect on us. Furthermore...”

He paused, then said grimly, ”The Supreme Elder wants the complete Luo Chen; rather than alarming the enemy, it’s better to report this news to the Supreme Elder, he will handle it himself.”

Ran Feng suddenly realized, showing a look of ancestral wisdom.

True Master Shenhuo barely smiled, but was weighing the gains and losses in his heart.

Yin Sixiang had died, he would definitely be held accountable, but at this crucial moment, the sect wouldn’t do much to him as a Nascent Soul fighting force.

Especially since he brought back news about Luo Chen, the Supreme Elder might even reward him.

”Realm, probably between the Nascent Soul Second Layer... Third Level?”

True Master Shenhuo was somewhat uncertain, Luo Chen’s realm during the battle fluctuated, making it hard for him to determine.

But no matter what, he was merely an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

The only thing intimidating would probably be his mastery of the white flames.

In an instant, he refined Old Ghost Mo Tian’s Lifebound Magic Artifact, truly powerful and eerie.

This information needs to be reported as well.

”Fenghua Palace Master might be his potential ally, and then there’s the Lingtian City Lord...”

With judgments about Luo Chen flowing in his mind, thinking about the Lingtian City Lord’s attitude towards Luo Chen, True Master Shenhuo hesitated.

Too friendly!

Although it’s been rumored externally that this person likes to make friends, that’s usually with those who know some details.

Luo Chen suddenly appearing, what temperament, what style of work, what extraordinary traits, all were still unknown, yet how did the Lingtian City Lord favor him so much?

Because of the Lingtian City Lord’s attitude, True Master Shenhuo chose to hold back at the City Lord Mansion at that time.

”Didn’t he wonder how Luo Chen escaped from Cangwu Mountain back then?”

...

Inside the City Lord Mansion.

In front of Ye Lingtian lay a thick stack of bamboo slips, buried among them.

These bamboo slips were not old, instead emitting a fresh bamboo fragrance and ink smell, as if they had just been made.

And the contents recorded were somewhat disorganized.

”Luo Chen, age two hundred and thirty-one, originates from The Great River District of East Desolate Jade Tripod Domain, rose in Yu Ding Realm’s Tianlan Immortal City...”

”Possesses Five Spirit Roots, exceedingly poor talent with no sect teachings or family reliance.”

”During the Qi Refinement Period, manifested remarkable aptitude in the Dao of Alchemy, received the Dao title of Dan Chenzi among rogue cultivators.”

At this point, the Lingtian City Lord paused slightly.

In the Qi Refinement Stage, already had a Dao title?

”Interesting!”

He continued to peruse the bamboo slips, detailing Luo Chen from the Qi Refinement Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and then to the Golden Core Stage.

From the obscure The Great River District to Tianlan Immortal City, step by step, until the opening war of the Luo Yun Sect.

The battle at Great Snow Mountain announced the failure of the opening war.

The battle at Cangwu Mountain marked the beginning of a new round of comprehensive human-demon war after ancient times in the East Desolate Immortal Cultivation World.

Thus, intelligence about Luo Chen was interrupted.

Lingtian City Lord picked up another bamboo slip, relatively older among the numerous brand-new slips.

”Written by Brother Chong Ming himself after returning from Zhongzhou!”

Recognizing the handwriting, Lingtian City Lord’s expression turned slightly solemn.

Spreading open the bamboo slip, it still recorded content related to Luo Chen, but the Luo Chen now was vastly different from the struggling independent cultivator from before.

Huang Independent Cultivator!

Achieved enlightenment at North Sea, made a name in Zhongzhou.

In the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven Competition, turned the tide with his own strength, pushing Fu Qinglan, whose talent was originally unimpressive, to the top of the competition.

The situation of the Cave Heaven battle was unknown, but one key point was that Luo Chen received favor from Alchemy Saint Chu Yan!

During the Ascension of the Alchemy Saint, he granted a Tianji Pill!

Because of this, Chong Ming paid attention to this person, especially collecting information related to him.

”Why did Senior Sister Chu favor him?”

Lingtian City Lord paused in his actions, falling into contemplation.

Some might find it strange that he addressed Chong Ming as ’Junior Brother’, Chong Ming called Alchemy Saint Chu Yan ’Martial Uncle’, yet he and Chu Yan were referred to as ’senior sister and brother’.

The seniority was tangled.

But actually, it wasn’t tangled, Chong Ming was a new-generation genius of the Mingyuan Sect, not from the same era as Alchemy Saint Chu Yan, Ye Lingtian, and others.

Therefore, even achieving the Nascent Soul Stage, and representing Mingyuan Sect in diplomatic missions to Tianyuan Daoist Sect, he still respectfully called Chu Yan ’Martial Uncle’.

Lingtian City Lord pondered for a while, ”Could it be because of Luo Chen’s exceptional talent in the Dao of Alchemy that made Senior Sister Chu value him?”

”It should be so!”

”Luo Chen’s natural talent wasn’t good, yet his cultivation never stagnated, realm advancing rapidly, forming a Golden Core in less than a century, not losing to Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators. In the absence of sect teachings, the only explanation could be taking the shortcut of the Dao of Alchemy.”
