Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Greetings, Elder!”

”Greetings, Elder!”

Amidst the greetings, Jueqing Fairy walked alone to the Cliff Cold Pine.

With her hands behind her back, standing atop the snow, the woman revealed a complex expression rarely seen.

Footsteps sounded behind her, and without turning her head, she asked, ”Xiao Lan, when did you arrive?”

A woman in a plain white dress, with no makeup, respectfully answered from behind her, ”I arrived today, having completed the three-year mourning period for my husband, it’s time to do something for the Luo Tian Sect.”

”Are they treating you well?”

Jueqing Fairy hesitated slightly, referring to the cultivators at Luo Tian Sect’s mountain gate.

Ever since deciding to join the Luo Tian Sect, the remaining cultivators from Ice Castle have visited Baili Qingchuan, though she alone had never ascended Daqing Mountain.

The subtle intentions behind this decision are difficult for ordinary people to fathom.

Shi Lan replied without hesitation, ”They treat us fairly well, you could say they treat us equally. Perhaps it’s due to my husband’s previous connections, or maybe because the Supreme Elder had discreetly instructed them, but in any case, over there, the sisters don’t feel like they’re living under someone else’s roof.”

”I see... that’s good, very good.”

Jueqing Fairy murmured, feeling complicated about how smoothly the sisters from Ice Castle had integrated into Luo Tian Sect, but ultimately relief prevailed.

She had made the decision against ancestral teachings, leading the disciples to join another sect. If it had turned out to be a poor decision, she would indeed have a hard time finding an excuse.

Watching the woman’s thin back, Shi Lan hesitated and asked, ”And you, Master?”

Jueqing Fairy replied calmly, ”No need to worry about me, you have interacted with him before and know his ways. As long as I don’t breach any taboos, there shouldn’t be any big issues, even...”

As she spoke, a fluctuation of Qi power flickered from her body, and ice crystals formed in crunching sounds beneath her feet.

Shi Lan gasped and covered her mouth, looking shocked.

Having cultivated the core technique of Ice Castle, ”Ten Directions Freeze Extreme Dao,” she naturally understood the significance of this situation.

The realm Master had been stuck in for years had finally broken through!

Now, Master has become a great cultivator at the Late Golden Core Stage!

This alone demonstrates Luo Chen’s regard for Master.

Indeed, that is the case!

From an outsider’s perspective, it seemed Jueqing Fairy had lowered herself to be under Luo Chen, working in a menial role of hospitality, feeling somewhat humiliating.

But in reality, Jueqing Fairy was among the few who could often meet Luo Chen face to face, and her cultivation cave mansion was located in a Third-tier top-grade cave mansion in Danluo Mountain.

In her leisure time, she would often receive elixirs from Luo Chen.

Her own talent was not lacking, so stepping into the Late Golden Core Stage was only natural.

Shi Lan slowly released her hands and exclaimed, ”Now we have all settled down, with the protection of the Supreme Elder, we no longer live those precarious days. If Senior Sister Cang Long could awaken, that would be even better.”

Senior Sister Cang Long?

At the mention of this name, Jueqing Fairy rare raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

She knew that the magic item Luo Chen had been refining recently was specifically to solve Senior Sister Cang Long’s injury.

As long as it succeeds, one day she would finally see the senior sister awaken.

She might even surpass Senior Sister by then, stepping into Nascent Soul Formation before her, and who knows how she’d react?

Just as Jueqing Fairy was in a good mood, sudden anxiety gripped her as the ice beneath her feet abruptly shattered.

She quickly turned back, looking towards the grand hall that Luo Chen had entered.

A strong fluctuation of Qi power spread in ripples from the hall, where it passed, pines were broken, and snow burst into powder.

But soon, an even stronger force forcibly suppressed the aftermath of the Qi power collision, preventing harm to the guarding cultivators of Luo Tian Sect.

What alarmed Jueqing Fairy were two beams of green and red light.

”Those are... Sword Qi!”

Two Sword Qis of green and red pierced through the dome of the grand hall, shooting straight into the sky.

The sound of sword clashing echoed endlessly.

Without thinking, Jueqing Fairy flew towards the grand hall, followed by other Luo Tian Sect cultivators having similar reactions.

Yet upon reaching the hall’s entrance, a gentle voice from within was heard, Luo Chen’s.

”No harm, just a minor spar, you all may retreat!”

”As you command!”

Jueqing Fairy took a deep breath, respectfully gazing at the mysterious grand hall, leading the Luo Tian Sect disciples to slowly withdraw.

...

Inside the hall.

Luo Chen slowly retracted his two conjoined fingers, showing a look of admiration.

”No wonder you are renowned in the Sword Realm, our sect pales in comparison!”

Lin Qingxuan withdrew her right hand, covering it with her sleeve, her expression calm.

”The Alchemy Sect is too kind, you do not primarily cultivate the Path of Sword. You’ve spent only a few years yet possess such pure Sword Qi; it’s rare in the world. Moreover, the method just now to suppress the aftermath of the Qi power clash, that’s the real Kung Fu!”

Exchanging words, the previously tense atmosphere suddenly softened.

Master Li, standing in the middle, smiled and said, ”One excels in swordsmanship, the other in profound Qi power, for such outstanding talents to arise from the small Yu Ding Realm indeed speaks of its richness.”

”I dare not be compared with the Alchemy Sect.” Lin Qingxuan humbly replied.

Remembering the days after Core Formation, when he got acquainted with Lin Qingxuan and went to war together, Luo Chen was in high spirits.

He laughed heartily, tapping the table with his right index finger.

”Now that my wish is fulfilled, let’s discuss the cooperation regarding the Jade Emperor Clear Pupil Liquid!”

With these words, Master Li immediately perked up, his expression showing anticipation, as did Lin Qingxuan’s slight twinkle in her eyes.

Luo Chen cleared his throat and smiled, ”We’ve talked about the details before. Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and Luo Tian Sect will be responsible for collecting the necessary raw materials, sharing the costs. If the Yu Ding Sword Sect wants to participate, they’ll have to contribute Spirit Stones.”
