Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

It seems you’re worried that if something happened to Luo Chen, there’d be no one to help you study the Pill Formula for the Ti Hu Pill!

”By the way, what about the Shouyang Mountain Man?” Luo Chen was quite curious, as he hadn’t heard any news of the man’s demise, yet he hadn’t seen him either.

Deng Taiyue shook his head, ”During the fierce battle with the Void Emperor Sect, his physical body was destroyed. Only his Nascent Soul narrowly survived, and he’s probably already returned to the East Sun Sect. Didn’t you notice that today, another Nascent Soul Elder represented the East Sun Sect?”

Luo Chen opened his mouth but ultimately couldn’t say anything.

He still remembered leaving Lingtian Pass, when the Shouyang Mountain Man hoped everyone would return safely, to gather at Shouyang Mountain and continue their discussions on the Dao.

But now, nine people left, four returned, two were seriously injured, and three had died!

Those three were not obscure figures!

Jin Ling, Master Hua, Master Li...

As Luo Chen was lost in thought, it seemed those above had already reached a consensus.

With the sound of the Lingtian City Lord knocking on the table, the lively hall instantly quieted, and everyone’s attention was focused.

”Ahem!”

”First of all, as the City Lord, I offer my condolences and apologies for the fallen friends in this battle.”

The Lingtian City Lord stood up and gave a deep bow in front of everyone.

Such a scene was indeed somewhat unexpected.

Given the level and identity of the Lingtian City Lord, to act this way was surprising.

The new representative of the East Sun Sect immediately said, ”City Lord, you don’t need to blame yourself. Our lives and deaths are destined, and you can’t be blamed.”

The Lingtian City Lord apologized, ”Ultimately, it was my negligence that led to this grave error.”

He spoke with genuine emotion and sincerity.

Everyone seemed somewhat moved.

But what each person truly thought in their hearts was unknown.

”Secondly, with Lingtian Pass broken, rebuilding it must be prioritized to prevent another attack from the Demon Clan armies!”

After remembering the past, the most important present task followed.

This was within everyone’s expectations.

The Lingtian City Lord righteously declared, ”In this reconstruction of Lingtian Pass, all resources will be provided by our Dark Abyss Sect. Friends, you won’t need to spend a single Spirit Stone.”

Luo Chen and the others looked at each other, surprised by such good fortune?

But they immediately realized that this was expected!

When Lingtian Pass was originally built, the resources used were the savings of various sects and factions, and even the plot was divided from the Five Domains of Fenghua Palace and Mu Residence.

Nominally, the ownership of the city of Lingtian Pass belonged to all the forces of the Eastern Wasteland.

The name ”Lingtian” was just to give face to the Dark Abyss Sect, as they had provided a complete city-building plan and a City Protection Formation.

But now, with the Dark Abyss Sect funding the reconstruction of Lingtian Pass, along with its original name, how should the ownership of Lingtian Pass be divided in the future?

Should it belong to all the forces of the Eastern Wasteland, or to the Dark Abyss Sect?

Luo Chen’s heart was vigilant, ”Has it already begun?”

The Lingtian City Lord continued to speak.

”Of course, although each faction doesn’t need to provide material resources, manpower support is still required.”

”Moreover!”

Suddenly, his tone heightened!

”From the conspiracy of the Demon Clan’s sneak attack on the rear, it is clear that they are not after just one city or one domain, but the entire Eastern Wasteland, which is the living land of us Human Clan!”

”If the Demon Clan armies cannot be completely defeated, and the old mountains and rivers reclaimed, then we will have no place to stand. Your sect families will not be able to endure and inherit for thousands of generations.”

”Therefore, I propose that all sects in the rear send manpower to reinforce Lingtian Pass and the nearby Five Domains. At the same time, all structured Golden Core Great Sects are summoned to participate in the upcoming war!”

”This battle is not the matter of one family or sect, but a matter of the rise and fall, survival or destruction of the entire Eastern Wasteland Human Clan!”

...

For the first time, Luo Chen felt that the straightforward and magnanimous Lingtian City Lord was so hypocritical.

Those words might come from the personal sincerity of the Lingtian City Lord.

But how much sect interest was mixed in them, these Nascent Soul True Masters who had lived for hundreds of years knew clearly!

Yet, under the solemn righteousness, what is happening follows the trend, and no one can go against it. It is the pressure of righteousness, and no one can refute it.

Even after leaving the City Lord Mansion, Luo Chen still felt a sense of oppression that he couldn’t quite shake off.

This was the first time since he achieved the Nascent Soul Realm!

”For the rise and fall of the Eastern Wasteland Human Clan?”

”Hehe!”

”Once the Demon Clan is really driven out, the great sects will decline and wither. After a great reshuffle, the most powerful Mingyuan Sacred Land can emulate the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, controlling the Eastern Wasteland entirely.”

Recalling the content of the meeting, Luo Chen smiled bitterly in his heart.

To dispel that oppressive feeling, after the meeting, he actively went to visit the seriously injured Elder Fu, accompanied by Ye Lan.

...

The contents of the City Lord Mansion meeting quickly spread to everyone under the dissemination of interested individuals.

Inside, there was not only righteousness and stakes, but also attached various interests.

Rebuilding Lingtian Pass, regrouping, exhausting the power of the Eastern Wasteland Human Clan to launch a counterattack.

After defeating the Demon Clan, those ownerless Spirit Lands would be the best rewards!

Just this point was enough to tempt many people.

Not to mention, after the former serious invasion of the Demon Emperor in the rear, the forces of the Sixteen Domains that previously remained inactive could no longer sit still.

The number of cultivators in Lingtian Pass, which had sharply decreased, began to replenish profusely again.

Moreover, the nearby Five Domains of Lingtian, the number of strong individuals was increasing day by day.

Regarding these matters, Luo Chen always paid attention, but he was not too concerned. Instead, citing the injury he suffered in the previous battle, he closed his doors and refused visitors.
