Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The arrival of Luo Chen greatly alleviated the tense atmosphere of preparation within Lingtian Pass.

At this time, all resources are quite scarce, and resources like elixirs, which can rapidly enhance an immortal cultivator’s cultivation level, are even more in demand.

Originally, there was a Medicine King Sect in the Eastern Wasteland, but it was destroyed.

High-order pill refiners have either been absorbed by great sects, or are too overwhelmed to assist, creating a vacuum in the market for a while.

The appearance of Luo Chen indeed filled this vacuum.

This is also the main reason he was able to gain fame so quickly.

Therefore, the arrangements made for Luo Chen at Lingtian Pass were very preferential.

Among the five Nascent Soul cultivators, Qin Baixiang from the Hundred Beasts Sect was stationed at the forefront, facing the extreme east where demon beasts were most likely to attack.

Xiao Shiniang and True Master Xian He flanked left and right, thousands of miles apart, guarding the frontal direction.

Luo Chen’s patrol area was arranged at a relatively rear place, where the pressure would likely only come from some scattered demon clan groups.

Famous for his speed, Ling Fengzi served as the mobile unit, ready for orders at any moment.

It is said that he is occasionally sent out to scout the front line situation.

That’s roughly the arrangement.

That day, Luo Chen first visited the cave mansion arranged by the Lingtian City Lord for him.

”So this is where I’ll be staying for the next three years!”

Luo Chen, stepping out of the cultivation room, mused with emotion.

It had been some time since he last enjoyed a Fourth Order Spirit Vein cultivation environment.

In Lingtian Pass, such cave mansions aren’t lacking.

It is rumored that when it was established, several Nascent Soul experts moved mountains and seas to forcibly relocate portions of territories that had fallen.

If the future truly descends into a protracted battle stage, the cave mansions of Lingtian Pass could support the recuperation and recovery of Qi power for several Nascent Soul experts.

”I’m glad you’re satisfied, friend. This cave mansion is second only to the City Lord Mansion within the city,” said Ling Fengzi.

Luo Chen blinked.

No wonder!

Just now, he felt the abundant spirit qi in the cave mansion, far surpassing Dragon Abyss Island or the Cave Dwelling No. Jia-78 on Heaven and Earth Peak where he had briefly stayed.

It seems the Lingtian City Lord truly paid attention to his arrangements.

Seeing Luo Chen’s satisfaction, Ling Fengzi could hardly contain himself.

”I’ve heard that Daoist Jiuling has already obtained the elixir he wanted. It seems the rumors are true; your alchemy Dao accomplishments are indeed heaven-reaching!”

Luo Chen laughed generously, ”You’re too kind, too kind. At this time, there’s no need to beat around the bush. What elixir does my friend want to refine? Speak freely.”

Ling Fengzi’s expression lit up, and without hesitation, he took out a pill formula.

Unlike Jiuling Yuanjun, who hesitated, he directly handed it to Luo Chen.

”This pill involves a life-saving measure of mine. If you can refine it for me, I would be immensely grateful.”

Luo Chen waved his hand, not boasting, but instead looked down to carefully examine it.

Ling Fengzi did not dare to disturb him, quietly waiting for his response.

Examining pill formulas had become routine for Luo Chen.

After about an hour, he already had an idea in his mind.

”This pill, I can refine it,” he said.

As soon as he spoke, Ling Fengzi’s eyes brightened.

”However, you must provide the materials yourself.”

Ling Fengzi nodded continuously, ”That’s only reasonable. It’s a benevolent act for you to refine the pill for me at all; how could I let you bear the costs?”

Luo Chen smiled warmly and said, ”As for the price?”

Like before, Ling Fengzi found himself in difficulty.

He knew very well that in these times, someone willing to help refine a pill is already very friendly.

Yet, spending great effort and lengthy periods on pill refinement is a luxury for Nascent Soul stage cultivators, who treasure every moment.

Compensation is a must!

But he was poor!

He remembered clearly the three conditions Luo Chen presented at the Nascent Soul Formation ceremony.

Yet, whether it’s Chi Xiao Qi or various pill formulas, he hasn’t gathered much.

Although he has some body refinement techniques, their order isn’t high, likely unappealing to the other party.

Gritting his teeth, Ling Fengzi said bravely, ”I can offer three hundred Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones.”

Three hundred Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones?

That’s just three million Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Given the current situation, High-Order Spirit Stones have strategic resource attributes, which is somewhat acceptable.

But not enough!

Luo Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

Ling Fengzi continued, ”I have several ancient body refinement techniques, around the Third Order.”

Third-Order body refinement techniques are too low.

Luo Chen continued smiling at him.

Ling Fengzi thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, ”I can also offer you the powerful tendon of a Fourth Order Nine Nether Charm Python, a beast that was only killed with great difficulty with the help of several friends. Its tendon is an excellent material for tool casting. If you obtain it...”

Luo Chen sighed, ”Ling Fengzi, you know very well that these things are of no use to me. Conversely, if I spend a year on pill refinement for you, the loss for me, Luo, is hard to estimate. Do you think these conditions can buy a Nascent Soul cultivator’s precious year’s time?”

Ling Fengzi paused, speechless.

The items he presented could indeed employ a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But only if the other party needed those items.

Moreover, requesting someone for an entire year is a long time!

Seeing his difficulty, Luo Chen suddenly said, ”However, I’m always willing to help and disinclined to see my fellows in difficulty. If you can agree to one condition of mine, even spending a year refining pills for you is possible.”
