Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Still remembering the time when I first returned to the Eastern Wasteland, Gu Zuokai told Luo Chen that there was no direct teleportation formation to Lingtian Pass.

At that time, he was forced to use the East Sun Sect’s teleportation formation, taking a detour to get here.

Now it seems it’s not a matter of non-existence, but rather that it’s scarcely known.

Since he arrived quite early, and needed to wait for others, Luo Chen casually spread out his divine consciousness to study the teleportation formation, while simultaneously chatting with those who had already arrived.

Talking about the six members of the Sudden Attack Team, aside from Jin Ling, with whom he didn’t have a good relationship, he had a rather good rapport with two of the remaining four.

Even Master Li from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion wanted to ask for his help in pill refinement.

Master Li didn’t come late today, and his eyes lit up upon seeing Luo Chen.

”Dan Sect, how’s your research on the Jade Emperor Clear Pupil Liquid’s pill formula going?”

”I have some research, but it’s quite tricky.”

”If you say it’s tricky, then it must be true. This pill formula was a lucky find by the Yu Ding Sword Sect, an ancient fragmented formula. It employs the Water Method in its crafting, and is quite challenging. For hundreds of years, the Yu Ding Sword Sect has only evolved several low-order formulas and dared not directly attempt to craft this potion, let alone easily have sect disciples test it.”

The Yu Ding Sword Sect indeed has a series of low-order pill formulas beneficial to the eyes.

Such as the Runming Pearl Liquid, Tongming Liquid, and so on.

Now it seems they are actually highly simplified versions of the ancient fragmented formula, Jade Emperor Clear Pupil Liquid.

The complete Jade Emperor Clear Pupil Liquid, according to descriptions, after prolonged usage, will clear a cultivator’s eyes, free from illusion influence, and might even give rise to subsidiary pupil skills.

The truth of the last point is unknown.

But just the fundamental effect is what sword cultivators crave the most.

Sword cultivators have strong offensive power, but are weak in self-protection. If influenced by illusions or if their attack deviates, it puts them in a perilous situation.

That’s why the Yu Ding Sword Sect spent years researching such pill formulas.

After the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion obtained the complete formula from them, they eagerly approached Luo Chen.

”If you can refine this Spirit Liquid, and steadily supply it to my Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, I, Li, am willing to offer a high price.”

”Materials are hard to find.” Luo Chen deflected.

”We can provide some of them, and I heard that the Tianyuan Business Alliance has a good relationship with you. Their business spans the Five Continents, they should be able to complete the missing materials! The necessary Spirit Stones will be borne by my Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion!”

Luo Chen was a bit surprised, not expecting the other party to be so tirelessly dedicated to this Spirit Medicine.

He subconsciously glanced at the other’s eyes.

Only then did he notice that Master Li was a double-pupil bearer!

In the depths of his pupils, there was a very tiny second pupil!

Unless you rudely stared, or if you were someone like Luo Chen with powerful Spirit Vision, you wouldn’t likely notice this anomaly.

It seems Master Li wants to use the Jade Emperor Clear Pupil Liquid to develop the ability of these double pupils!

He hesitated a moment, but still declined: ”I, Luo, am too busy lately...”

Seeing Luo Chen repeatedly declining, Master Li asked urgently: ”Is it because of Lin Qingxuan targeting your sect disciples? If that’s the case, I can act as an intermediary, have him personally apologize to you!”

This tone was quite bold.

After all, Lin Qingxuan is a rising star with a reputation as the Sword Realm Lone Swan, and is now considered a sect ruler.

Can apologies be demanded so lightly?

But seeing Master Li’s confident demeanor, could he actually accomplish this?

While Luo Chen pondered on how to respond, clear footsteps echoed from outside the cave.

The Lingtian City Lord and Tian Douzi arrived together.

”Everyone’s here, that’s just right, there’s something I need to remind you of.”

Tian Douzi spoke with a cheerful smile.

After drawing everyone’s attention, he pointed towards the array platform in the cave and said: ”This array has the effect of teleportation!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but secretly nod, matching his own judgment.

He even guessed that when Tian Douzi entered Lingtian Pass without a trace, he used this array.

”This time’s sudden attack battle relies heavily on the element of surprise.”

”Thus, to march directly would be too exposing. Teleporting out of thin air would be unexpected.”

”Later, I’ll personally host the formation and teleport you to the designated location. During teleportation, you must calm your mind and cloak yourselves with Qi Power. If any accidents happen, I won’t be responsible.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Luo Chen, with insights as a Fourth-Order Array Master, deduced why the other party needed such a reminder.

Teleporting multiple Nascent Soul True Masters at once, including late-stage great cultivators like the Lingtian City Lord, imposes an immense pressure on the formation, drains a lot of Spirit Power, and demands utmost skill from the formation host.

If it weren’t for the proximity, the other party might not have dared to attempt this risky plan.

”Lastly, let me remind you again. The existence of this array is Lingtian Pass’s last trump card, I hope none of you leak it.”

”If someone leaks and is found out...”

Tian Douzi’s eyes narrowed as he surveyed everyone.

The Lingtian City Lord stepped forward with a chilling tone: ”Our Dark Abyss Sect will be the first to pursue!”

No one dared to displease them at such a moment, and all agreed.

”Alright, it’s about time. Please step onto the array platform so we can teleport you first, then Daoist Shenyuan and the others.”

Tian Douzi suddenly said with a smile.

Such a sudden change in demeanor might unsettle those of lower realm, yet for Luo Chen and the others, it was a common occurrence. After all, who doesn’t fluctuate in mood?
