Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen paused for a moment, then smiled slightly; it was indeed appropriate to also prepare a share for Zeng Yilong.

The path of Body Refinement, after reaching the Third Realm, fundamentally differs from cultivators’ Qi Refinement.

The Third Realm is known as the Furnace Realm.

This furnace evolves from the Sea of Qi.

Not only can it store a large amount of Gang Qi, but it can also wildly refine energy from flesh and blood, absorbing it for personal use.

Wang Yuan was able to reach the peak of the Third Realm of Body Refinement within a mere hundred years and even temporarily contend with a Fourth Order Demon Emperor, as well as the True Devices of Nascent Soul Cultivators, mainly because, during those years, he refined large quantities of demon beast flesh and blood.

Zeng Yilong is currently in the early stages of the Furnace Realm and is in much need of quality blood meals.

”You all spoil him quite a bit!” Luo Chen teased.

Sima Huiniang brushed her hair aside and smiled, ”Xiao Long has grown up being watched over by us elders since childhood, so there’s hardly any difference from our own children; it’s only natural to treat him well.”

In her words, the phrase ”our own children” was particularly stressed.

Luo Chen’s face stiffened slightly, but he did not avoid the topic and whispered softly, ”Given the current situation, it’s not yet the right time.”

At this moment, the jade token hanging from his waist flashed with light.

”The City Lord has something; prepare a quiet room for me.”

”Come to the back courtyard; my place is the quietest and safest.”

Sima Huiniang led Luo Chen to a room in the back courtyard, and after he entered, she personally closed the door for him.

However, after he entered, her face showed a hint of wistfulness.

She wanted a child!

...

Inside the room.

Luo Chen’s divine consciousness focused on the jade token crafted specially for Nascent Soul True Masters at Lingtian Pass, and immediately his whole body was enveloped in a dark glow.

In that dark glow, several figures emerged.

At the center was the Lingtian City Lord.

Then came Xiao Shiniang.

A cough sounded, and True Master Xian He’s divine soul projection also appeared.

Luo Chen looked intently, noting that True Master Xian He’s divine soul seemed a bit unstable, clearly indicating injury.

”Friend Xian He?”

True Master Xian He chuckled bitterly, ”The two Demon Emperors who joined forces against me, one of their main bodies was a Lightless Beast, adept at poisonously killing with ghostly arts. I was careless and suffered a silent loss, though fortunately, the City Lord’s timely aid arrived.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but be moved.

The Lightless Beast, when unveiling its true form, could transform daylight into darkness.

Being caught within, phantom-like and formless, it could harm souls, being one of the great enemies of cultivators.

True Master Xian He spoke nonchalantly, but one could imagine how dire the situation must have been at the time.

Xiao Shiniang also sighed, ”I haven’t had it easy either. If not for timely activating my life-bound magic artifact combined with my Nascent Soul Domain to release my Smoke Mirage Domain, that Thousand Land Howling Worm could have had me in trouble.”

As she said this, she couldn’t help but look at Luo Chen, amazed.

”Only one enemy faced you, but that Sky Roc seemed to possess the bloodline of the ancient Desolate Beast Thunder Roc, and its realm was profound. To think Friend Luo came out unscathed, truly a real master hiding his brilliance!”

Luo Chen’s expression remained calm, ”It’s not by my ability, merely that the opponent did not exert full force.”

Even as he said this, Xiao Shiniang still wore a look of disbelief.

It’s said that back in the day when the Alchemy Sect first returned to the Eastern Wasteland, one strike was enough to destroy Old Ghost Mo Tian’s lifebound magic artifact.

Although rumors have it that Mo Tian lent the artifact to a Golden Core junior, leading to delayed control, allowing Luo Chen to take advantage.

But looking at the battle yesterday, Luo Chen’s abilities might be greatly underestimated.

Or perhaps, it’s not his abilities that are underestimated, but rather, his alchemy Dao accomplishment is so high it overshadows his otherworldly talents!

Luo Chen didn’t want to continue this topic and looked towards the Lingtian City Lord.

”Gathering us all, does the City Lord have urgent matters?”

The Lingtian Jade Token could utilize the large formation within Lingtian Pass, connecting the divine consciousness of Nascent Soul True Masters within the city, even projecting them, facilitating rapid information transfer among everyone.

But when activating this jade token, cultivators must inject their divine consciousness into it, greatly reducing their defensive capabilities.

Unless pressing matters were at hand, typically this jade token’s function would not be used.

The Lingtian City Lord said calmly, ”Not everyone is here yet, wait a moment.”

Luo Chen no longer asked, falling into silence.

Time passed slowly, and after a dozen breaths, a twisted shadow generated, transforming into the projection of Qin Baixiang.

”Apologies, cleaning up the battlefield took some time, keeping everyone waiting.”

”No problem, still awaiting one more.”

The Lingtian City Lord stated calmly.

Everyone exchanged glances, but soon understood who they were waiting for.

In their wait, a projection suddenly emerged at the center.

It was Ling Fengzi!

Upon appearing, he immediately said anxiously, ”Keeping it short, I’ve scouted the surrounding situation. Aside from the Seven Rhinoceros Commander, the Huang Man army has arrived, just half a day’s distance from the front line. Additionally, two Demon Emperors have reinforced the heavily injured Seven Rhinoceros’s position, suspected to be two among his Ten Great Demon Emperors. They’ve come alone, but it’s certain the demon beast army they lead isn’t far off.”

Hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

Seven Rhinoceros’ strength was displayed vividly just yesterday.

If not for the city protection formation, just him alone could pose a tremendous threat to Lingtian Pass.

Now, rumors of another Huan Man, from the Nine Great Commanders, leading the army here.

Lingtian City, in danger!

The Lingtian City Lord naturally sensed the change in everyone’s emotions.

He smiled slightly, ”Rest assured, with me here, two commander-level Demon Emperors can’t pose a real threat to Lingtian Pass. Plus, I’ve already sent word back; the Supreme Elder of Tiandu Sect will personally come to Lingtian Pass. At that time, he will personally oversee the Xuanwu Square Formation!”
