Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Next time, I will definitely call you!”

If I can’t control my strength and flatten myself, isn’t that looking down on me?

The Black King muttered to himself, then revealed his hundred-zhang true form, showcasing his devouring talent to swallow the centipede’s body into his own.

With a hundred-zhang body, swallowing a seven to eight hundred-zhang centipede seemed quite like a snake swallowing an elephant.

But after the Black King swallowed it, his body merely became a bit rounder.

”Burp!”

He let out a satisfied belch, curiously glanced at Bai Meiling, and then dove back into Luo Chen’s arm.

Bai Meiling timidly stared at the black dragon tattoo on Luo Chen’s arm, ”What is this?”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”This is the spiritual pet I recently acquired over the years, a bit of a simpleton.”

Bai Meiling flicked her snake tongue, quite surprised.

The momentum displayed by the Black King earlier when devouring the centipede’s body did not resemble any weakling.

In her eyes, even some Nascent Soul True Masters would fall short.

The master has grown even more formidable!

Luo Chen ceased his actions and looked at Bai Meiling’s Charming Python Ghost Body with a slight frown.

”I recall the cultivation technique I gave you back then was orthodox human ghost cultivation method, how did you become like this?”

Mentioning this, Bai Meiling, whose conversation had just been interrupted, suddenly became interested.

”Master, please follow me!”

She flew out from Luo Chen, diving directly into the Taihu.

”Oh?”

Luo Chen blinked, curiously following her.

At this moment, due to the previous battle, the Taihu had become extremely murky.

The waves surged, and sediment churned.

Along the way, massive boulders stood upside down in the lakebed.

Soon, Bai Meiling stopped at a place dense with aquatic plants.

”This is the place!”

She parted the aquatic plants, waiting for Luo Chen.

Luo Chen swept his Divine Consciousness, finding no signs of life inside.

Though puzzled, he had already stepped into the serene cave mansion covered by the aquatic plants.

Upon entering, Luo Chen’s body froze.

Inside the water cave, a young girl lay upon a stone bed, her appearance unchanged, just like years ago.

Luo Chen sighed softly, ”It’s Xiao Yue!”

Bai Meiling followed in, climbing onto the stone bed, and began to narrate past events.

She had initially come to the Taihu Domain while seeking traces of the Luo Tian Sect.

Here, she did not manage to reunite with the Luo Tian Sect, but rather witnessed the Demon Clan slaughter those Immortal Cultivators hiding and fleeing.

She was about to leave.

But along the way, she saw ”Yuan Xiaoyue” slaughtering the crowds.

Bai Meiling was very puzzled and revealed herself, but the other party didn’t recognize her at all.

It must be known that Bai Meiling had also stayed on Danxia Mountain for a long time, and most of the high-ranking members of the Luo Tian Sect knew her to some extent.

Yuan Xiaoyue held a high status, and furthermore, being from The Great River District, naturally, she knew Bai Meiling.

After a fierce battle, Bai Meiling finally understood why.

Yuan Xiaoyue had long since died.

Her corpse was occupied by a stray soul.

And that stray soul had no consciousness, only a pure desire for slaughter.

To preserve her friend’s physical body, Bai Meiling fought a great battle with it, ultimately forced to use the Ghost King Realm to devour the opposing soul.

This devouring technique would be known by any Ghost King.

But only those ruthless and aggressive Ghost Kings would use it; orthodox ghost cultivators disdain and dare not readily absorb other souls.

It was only after devouring that Bai Meiling was trapped in this Taihu Domain.

”That soul was a part of the Nine Nether Charm Python!”

Bai Meiling said so.

Luo Chen was thoughtful, recalling another past event.

The Taihu Domain was invaded by the Demon Clan years ago, leading numerous Demon Emperors to storm in.

Among them, leading the charge was Commander Huang Man’s subordinate, the Nine Nether Charm Python!

That battle was extremely intense.

The Taihu Palace’s Supreme Elder, together with Ling Fengzi and others, forcibly slew the Nine Nether Charm Python, even shattered its Nascent Soul and split its Divine Soul.

Ling Fengzi and others also divided the remains of the Nine Nether Charm Python.

A sizable tendon was even given to Luo Chen as payment for crafting the Hidden Wind Pill.

Bai Meiling encountered a remnant of the Nine Nether Charm Python’s soul scattered in the Taihu Domain.

After devouring this soul, Bai Meiling’s ghost cultivation realm, which was not very high to begin with, suffered backlash.

She was driven by the inherent instincts of the Nine Nether Charm Python’s soul, starting to search the Taihu Domain for other scattered soul fragments.

During this time, Bai Meiling maintained her original mindset, gradually erasing the faint consciousnesses within these souls while enhancing her own Dao cultivation.

However, her cultivation path also deviated under the Nine Nether Charm Python’s instincts.

Eventually, she transformed into the current Charming Python Ghost Body!

”The Nine Nether Charm Python is different from ordinary Demon Emperors; not only does it master Water Type Demon Techniques, but it also excels in the art of Divine Soul Enchantment. The former is cultivated, while the latter is innate, akin to the Nine You in her name, being a demon beast born from the gloomy wetland of the Nine You.”

”That’s why it could die in battle surrounded by Nascent Souls, yet its soul remained unextinguished.”

”It indeed accomplished something for you.”

Luo Chen felt emotional, tenderly rubbing Bai Meiling’s solid ghost body.

Bai Meiling enjoyed it but also felt a bit troubled.

”Even though the consciousness within the scattered Nine Nether Charm Python souls is very weak, it still imposes a significant burden on me. To obliterate them, I often have to fall into deep sleep, living in a daze. Earlier, when I sensed the master’s breath, I didn’t dare to acknowledge it immediately.”

Luo Chen let out a gentle laugh; wasn’t he the same?

Earlier, he also detected Bai Meiling’s soul breath; otherwise, why would he have fought the Centipede to the bitter end, instead of recklessly using the Fire Escape Technique to flee?

”No worries, these minor issues, I will help you solve them in the future.”

Bai Meiling nodded joyfully; she believed in Luo Chen!
