Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”It’s merely a hundred miles, just a moment away. Friend, hold on a bit longer.”

”You!”

True Master Gao Ling shouted angrily but didn’t insist further.

He slashed out several sword lights in succession, massacring a large number of Demon Beasts behind him, thereby buying enough time for the sect disciples.

Drip!

Huge raindrops fell down.

The billowing dust seemed to be quenched quite a bit.

From afar, they saw several disheveled figures, supporting each other as they arrived under Lingtian Pass.

But at this moment, the city gate wasn’t open!

A woman with a messy bun, yet still radiating charm, flew over wielding a longsword.

She angrily gazed at Qin Baixiang, who stood unmoved on the city wall, ”Friend, are you still not opening the gate?”

Qin Baixiang swept his gaze over the several dozen cultivators below the city. Once renowned for its rich underground resources, Fire Ridge had a mighty force of 100,000 sect disciples, and now only this few remained?

”The city gate will open shortly, but before entering, you must undergo a check with the Demon Mirror. Please calm yourself, friend.”

Beneath the city tower at the East City Gate, a round mirror hung high, shining brilliantly.

The woman couldn’t wait any longer, soaring into the sky.

”At a time like this, do you really want to stand by and watch my Fire Ridge get wiped out?”

Seeing her like this, Qin Baixiang showed a look of displeasure.

”Friend, you know the rules of Lingtian Pass... No, wait!”

Ten miles from the city is a no-fly zone!

Below the Nascent Soul, without a token, flying is not allowed.

Even Nascent Soul level experts, without an Identity Token blessed by the no-fly array, would face great suppression.

For her to act so recklessly...

The agitated woman flew into the air, suddenly showing a cunning look in her eyes.

A dark golden light shot from above her head, dashing towards Qin Baixiang with lightning speed.

The sudden change left no time for anyone to react.

Qin Baixiang’s eyes widened, his pupils displaying the entity of that dark golden light.

A Six-winged Golden Cicada!

Yet the Six-winged Golden Cicada could not breach the ten-zhang barrier from him.

A surge of powerful sound waves rolled out.

”Fiend, retreat!”

A yellow light flew from Qin Baixiang’s body, transforming into an agile Twilight Monkey, angrily pounding its chest.

Its roars, like thunder or drums, transformed into sound waves sweeping outside the city.

The bewildered remnants of the Fire Ridge disciples were blown into a cloud of blood mist under these sound waves.

”Twilight Monkey!”

The Six-winged Golden Cicada screeched, emitting sounds beyond human hearing, yet it also responded with overwhelming sound waves.

”Friend, if you don’t act now, when will you?”

Just at that moment, amidst lightning and thunder, a figure descended from the Nine Heavens, heading straight for Qin Baixiang.

Qin Baixiang remained unruffled, leaving behind the words ”Activate the Big Formation quickly,” then soared into the sky.

Bang!

Without any further words, the two began to fight intensely.

The battle at the East City came swiftly.

But it also gave enough time for other places to react.

Within Lingtian Pass, array lights flickered and shimmered continuously.

At the Northern City.

Xiao Shiniang, the master of Fireworks Ancient Island, looked at the two Great Demon Emperors who braved the no-fly array, chuckling softly as she opened her mouth slightly.

Clouds of smoke spread out, her figure disappearing instantly, while the two Great Demon Emperors were enveloped within.

”Visitors are guests. Friends, why be so rash?”

At the Southern City.

True Master Xian He had a solemn expression as he flicked his horsetail whisk, turning it into three thousand white lights, striking into the rain curtain.

Two figures emerged slowly from within.

Their brows furrowed with ominous intent, emanating murderous aura.

...

The West City District, located behind Lingtian Pass, connects to the Five Domains of Lingtian, and is the safest place.

On the city wall, Zeng Yilong was conversing with Yang Pingdu.

”Has Master-Uncle gone out to experiment with Techniques again?”

”Yes, the Supreme Elder has recently been going out frequently.”

”Even with Master-Uncle being so powerful, he tirelessly pursues research in Techniques, truly a model worth learning from! Hmm, I can’t slack off either. During my off days, I must master the Body Technique passed down by my master.”

Seeing Zeng Yilong’s determined face, Yang Pingdu felt quite envious in his heart.

The other was Elder Wang Yuan’s direct disciple and the son of the Supreme Elder’s old acquaintance, heavily favored within the Luo Tian Sect.

From childhood to now, he never lacked resources.

As soon as the Supreme Elder returned, he gifted him his renowned Magic Item, the Breaking Moon Wings, and even awarded a heavy spear to cover many of his deficiencies.

Upon arriving at Lingtian Pass, backed by the Supreme Elder’s Alchemy Sect reputation, he quite generously won over people’s loyalty.

At this rate, in time, Zeng Yilong was sure to become a famous prodigy in the Eastern Wasteland.

Yet envy was merely just envy.

He didn’t harbor much jealousy, for the Luo Tian Sect treated him well too.

The Old Sect Master gave him the Nether Origin Pill, instead of giving it to his own younger brother, showing great importance.

Later he was made Law Enforcement Elder, overseeing the entire sect, a position of high rank and power.

Though an outsider, he received such attention. Why should he envy others’ treatment within the lineage?

From the corner of his eye, he glimpsed a white figure.

”The Supreme Elder has returned.”

Zeng Yilong also saw it, excitedly saying, ”I’ll go open the city gate for him!”

At that moment, Yang Pingdu suddenly turned, looking towards the distant Lingtian Pass.

Several streams of light descended from the sky, and the arrays activated instantly.

Recalling the Supreme Elder’s advice from a month ago, he shouted sharply, ”Enemies are attacking, everyone be on guard!”

However, few people heard this sharp cry.
