Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Suddenly, the laughter stopped.

”Simple, our Mingyuan Great Power will personally deal with him!”

”Everyone, I have said all I can, prepare well for the battle that is not far away!”

After speaking, Lei Daozi strode away, no longer concerning himself with the stunned cultivators inside the hall.

After he left, a fierce discussion erupted within the hall regarding this matter.

Slowly, everyone’s attention turned to Luo Chen, who had stood up for them earlier.

”Alchemy Sect, what do you think we should do?”

Faced with the anxious faces, Luo Chen sighed.

”As Lei Daozi said, this war, like a quagmire, has entangled us for far too long. It would be best to resolve it quickly.”

”Before the decisive battle, we should prepare as much as possible.”

”Today’s discourse should not be in vain, if any of you have resources you don’t need, feel free to trade them to enhance each other’s strength.”

Everyone nodded, agreeing that what Alchemy Sect said was right.

Though they feared the decisive battle, deep down everyone was also looking forward to it.

Because it really had dragged on for far too long!

Even though only a century had passed, the constant pressure of being in danger was suffocating.

Only by truly ending this war could everyone and every faction be freed.

True Master Shenhuo sat in the corner, watching Luo Chen speak eloquently, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Since when could this guy sit up there and give orders, saying things everyone acknowledged?

Was his prestige really that high?

...

City Lord Mansion!

Lingtian City Lord looked at the just-returned Lei Daozi and asked directly, ”Did you tell them everything?”

”I did. This was originally something Senior Brother should have announced, but this time I overstepped,” Lei Daozi replied with a smile.

Lingtian City Lord shook his head, ”There’s no overstepping, it’s just a matter of timing. But I heard you had a conflict with Luo Chen?”

”It wasn’t a conflict, just a test of skills,” Lei Daozi waved his hand, suddenly showing an interested expression, ”It would have been fine if I hadn’t tested, but after our encounter, I realized that this person is deeply hidden and indeed worth our Dark Abyss Sect’s attention!”

Lingtian City Lord laughed, ”After all, he disrupted the Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s five-hundred-year competition, then returned to the Eastern Wasteland and gained fame under the titles of Alchemy Sect and Demon Slayer True Master. He is not someone who gains fame idly.”

However!

”No!”

Lei Daozi shook his head, speaking solemnly:

”When I say deeply hidden, I mean he might have already comprehended the Law’s True Intent!”

Lingtian City Lord was stunned.

Lei Daozi began pacing in the courtyard, muttering to himself.

”Junior Brother Chong Ming received an order to go to Zhongzhou to observe Chu Yan’s ascension ceremony.”

”Chu Yan, remembering old ties, gifted Junior Brother Chong Ming a Tianji Pill. According to him, there were originally five Tianji Pills, three were left to Tianyuan Daoist Sect, and the last one was given to Luo Chen, who was then known as the Huang Independent Cultivator.”

”The Patriarch designated the battle to bring Luo Chen back to the Dark Abyss Sect, initially aiming for that Tianji Pill, but later attracted by his Pill Refinement Technique, hoping he would replace Chu Yan as our new generation Alchemy Saint.”

”But now it seems, Luo Chen might have already consumed the Tianji Pill and comprehended the Law’s True Intent. Otherwise, at just the Middle Stage Nascent Soul Realm, he couldn’t have withstood my strike!”

Lingtian City Lord swallowed, eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of envy.

”Do you know what True Intent he comprehended?”

Lei Daozi frowned, ”I can’t tell. Logically, it should be the Fire True Intent. But from my observation, his Qi Power did not have the corresponding enhancement.”

Lingtian City Lord hesitated, ”Could you be mistaken?”

Lei Daozi waved his sleeve, ”I couldn’t possibly be wrong. In that palm, there was definitely something beyond ordinary Qi Power. It seemed like Original Source True Fire, but it’s actually beyond any True Fire a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could master, only Law’s True Intent can explain it.”

Lingtian City Lord fell silent.

In his mind, he couldn’t help but recall the scene when Luo Chen first appeared.

With one move, he refined Old Ghost Mo Tian’s True Device, Mount Sky Cliff.

”Junior Brother, you might actually be mistaken. Luo Chen indeed has an extremely powerful Original Source True Fire.”

Lei Daozi paused, incredulous, ”The Thunder True Intent I comprehend is the most domineering of Law’s True Intent. What kind of True Fire could withstand it? A Fifth-Order Divine Fire? Ha, Luo Chen, just a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, how could he possibly master a Fifth-Order Divine Fire?”

Lei Daozi remained steadfast in his belief that Luo Chen had comprehended some remarkable Law’s True Intent.

Seeing he couldn’t convince Lingtian City Lord, he didn’t insist further, only saying, ”You don’t understand,” to end the topic.

”The words ’You don’t understand’ darkened the expression of the Lingtian City Lord.”

Lei Daozi, unconcerned with his senior brother’s mood, brought up another topic.

”Luo Chen’s prestige in the Eastern Wasteland seems a bit too high!”

The Lingtian City Lord replied indifferently, ”His reputation has always been good, and he has made many friends, so it’s only natural for his prestige to be high.”

”No!” Lei Daozi frowned. ”It’s excessively high. Today, many cultivators look up to him, even those not on good terms with him. If this continues, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to forcibly bring him back to the Mingyuan Sect.”

The Lingtian City Lord showed a surprised look.

He wasn’t present at today’s Shouyang Discourse, and the information he received was relayed by others, so it was somewhat incomplete.

For his junior brother to be so serious, it seems some unexpected events have indeed occurred!

...

The Shouyang Discourse did not last for several days as it usually did.

It ended abruptly in just one day and night.

After all, the current backdrop is the entire city being under martial law, prepared for a full-on attack by the Demon Clan.

Yet all attendees left satisfied.

Whether it’s insider news or trading resources, everyone gained something.

And in this, Luo Chen was undoubtedly the most dazzling figure.

This was evident when almost everyone bade him farewell at the end of the meeting.

Joining Luo Chen in the discourse meeting were Gu Caiyi and Wang Yuan.

They were socializing with others outside before realizing the unusual situation when the meeting concluded.

”Husband, why do I feel that those Nascent Soul True Masters show great respect for you?”

Luo Chen, riding the magic cloud, carried the two towards the direction of Danluo Mountain.

He calmly asked in return, ”Hasn’t it always been this way?”

Gu Caiyi shook her head, ”It’s somewhat different from usual. Brother Wang, don’t you think?”

Wang Yuan nodded; he also noticed the difference.

Previously, those Nascent Soul True Masters might have respected Luo Chen, but it was often superficial.

Unlike today, which seemed to be more heartfelt.

At this, the corners of Luo Chen’s mouth slightly raised, but he did not explain much.

He had finally reached this point!

Since returning to the Eastern Wasteland, with his abilities in the Dao of Alchemy, he formed extensive connections.

In numerous battles, he had slain countless demons, earning recognition for his strength from others.

If things continued this way, it would only be others currying favor, not truly respecting or following him.

However, after several battles, the dynamics among the Eastern Wilderness Strongmen changed.

A large number of those at the same realm as him either perished or were injured.

And those above his realm, like the Shenyuan Old Thief, showed no interest in worldly affairs, only appearing during times of war.

Tian Douzi, initially highly revered and often speaking on behalf of various sects, implicitly bore the responsibility of negotiating with the Mingyuan Sect on behalf of major forces.

But after the Tiandu Sect suffered heavy losses and the Lingtian Pass’s Big Formation was destroyed, his personal morale and prestige declined irreversibly.

Aside from the great cultivators in the Mingyuan Sect, the Eastern Wasteland had another great cultivator: the Supreme Elder of the East Sun Sect.

However, this person never left the East Sun Sect, and even if they did, they would definitely side with the Mingyuan Sect.

In such a situation, no one dared to step forward!

Even if Deng Taiyue was at the Sixth Layer of Nascent Soul, even if Jiuling Yuanjun was said to rival great cultivators, their personal prestige was still insufficient.

Luo Chen seized this gap and, under the name of the Alchemy Sect, stood up for everyone, with popular sentiment pressuring the Mingyuan Sect to step in.

In particular, he used the power of the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire to withstand a move from Lei Daozi.

In this way, combining fame and strength with his style, he subtly replaced Tian Douzi, becoming the person with the highest prestige within Lingtian Pass, aside from Mingyuan Sect cultivators!

This was something Tian Douzi once held, and the Shouyang Mountain Man once desired, now resting on Luo Chen’s shoulders.

Most importantly, he gleaned from the discourse meeting the attitude of the Mingyuan Sect towards him.

Tolerant, even indulgent.

There was an unceasing hint of drawing him in!

Upon arriving at Danluo Mountain, after Gu and Wang left on his orders, Luo Chen stood alone at the mountain’s peak, his smile gradually fading.

”With such gestures of goodwill, I’m afraid I can’t return to Heaven and Earth Peak.”
