Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Is it over?”

At this moment, Luo Chen indeed found himself at the end of his rope.

A direct hit from the Three Great Demon Emperors had shattered his protective treasure armor and heavily damaged his natal magic item.

In the ensuing battle, whether casting magic powers or wielding the Yuan Tu Blood Sword, it all consumed massive amounts of qi power.

Especially the activation of the Withering and Flourishing Dao and the two releases of the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire, the qi power consumed was terrifying, far beyond what the two jars of Golden Wind Jade Dew could replenish.

At this moment, he was nearly at the brink of desperation.

But heaven always leaves a way out, and Luo Chen still had one last gamble!

Yuan Tu transformed into a streak of blood light and merged into his right arm, and the already awakened sword spirit faintly emitted cries of unwillingness.

Luo Chen, however, paid it no mind, crossing his legs and sitting on the ground.

Qing Shuang was startled, and before she could react, a large blood-red mouth surged from the snow and swallowed Luo Chen’s physical body whole.

Was it the Black Dragon?

But wasn’t that Black Dragon Luo Chen’s spiritual pet? Why would it devour its master now?

After swallowing Luo Chen, the Black King coldly glanced at Qing Shuang, eyes filled with madness, as if Luo Chen himself was staring at her.

Rumble...

The Black King, with a heave, took Luo Chen deep into the earth.

Qing Shuang chuckled wryly.

Luo Chen’s ingenious fire escape couldn’t evade her tracking, let alone this Savage Beast’s crude earth escape.

Qing Shuang took a step, crossing hundreds of feet away, stamping her foot heavily.

Come out!

Hum!

A strange ripple emanated from her Golden Lotus, spreading invisibly.

The earth surged, and the snow waves rolled back into the sky like a tide.

The three Great Snow Mountains nearby, under this stomp, instantly crumbled down with great momentum.

Crack crack crack...

The ground split open, revealing the figure of the Black King, as if someone had stepped on its vital spot, frozen deep underground.

It looked up at Qing Shuang with a fearful gaze, but this time, the look was truly its own.

As for Luo Chen?

Boom!!!

A phoenix enwrapped in green and white flames burst from the Black King’s mouth, rushing toward Qing Shuang.

Where it passed, the solid rocks melted like snow, and the waves of snowmass rapidly transformed into muddy water.

The moment she saw the phoenix, Qing Shuang was quite surprised, but not afraid, still delivering a seemingly ordinary punch.

Just a mere technique...

Yet in the next moment, before touching the phoenix, Qing Shuang abruptly withdrew.

She unhesitatingly retreated.

This phoenix was different from the usual Fourth Order Technique Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plain used by Luo Chen. It now possessed great spirituality, screaming madly at Qing Shuang.

Upon close listening, one would find the phoenix’s cries inexplicably identical to Luo Chen’s roars.

This abrupt charge would catch anyone off-guard.

Even Qing Shuang was somewhat unprepared, but she forcibly withdrew within an instant, merging into the void.

Bang!

The phoenix’s breath scorched the void so intensely it twisted!

Within those terrifying breaths, faint black cracks appeared in the void.

But within the spatial cracks, there was no sign of Qing Shuang.

The phoenix hesitated, not daring to venture inside.

It circled within the Great Snow Mountain, the collapsed three mountains around it completely evaporated by the fierce high temperatures.

Its eyes were filled with frenzy and rage.

But it couldn’t find!

It couldn’t find the enemy!

Full of power, yet nowhere to unleash it!

In the midst of it, a sigh echoed.

”Why risk such a desperate move?”

”By merging your Nascent Soul with the Fifth-Order Divine Fire, you may control the attack, but you’ll never find me.”

”Come with me to Cangwu! My sister wishes to see you, don’t worry, you won’t be harmed.”

Sister?

Who in the world could Qing Shuang call ”sister”?

Only Qi Xia Emperor!

Hearing these words, the violence in the phoenix’s eyes gradually dissipated.

Due to the forced activation of the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire, that once robust Nascent Soul Small People now appeared lethargic, as if about to collapse any moment.

In silence, the phoenix suddenly dove deep into the earth.

Moments later, the Black King surfaced, opened its mouth, and Luo Chen stumbled out.

His complexion pale, as though greatly diminished in vital energy.

Yet his eyes remained exceedingly bright.

In the void, ripples spread, and a woman in a green robe emerged.

Luo Chen instantly looked over, still feeling powerless inside.

He asked in a low voice, ”Yuan Jun, why do you wish to see me?”

Qing Shuang calmly replied, ”She is very interested in you.”

Luo Chen let out a self-deprecating smile, ”Could it be my reputation in the Alchemy Sect holds a place even with the Master of Cangwu Mountain?”

Qing Shuang shook her head, ”No, she merely wants something from you.”

Something?

Luo Chen was taken aback, instinctively asking what it was, but Qing Shuang would say no more.

Just then, a luxurious flying boat pulled by a Three-headed Dragon approached from afar.

The flying boat came to an abrupt halt, and a young man stepped down.

In a White Bone Daoist Robe and a skull high crown, he carried an overwhelmingly sinister demeanor.

Yet this sinister pride turned into utmost respect upon seeing Qing Shuang.

”Hall Master, everything is ready.”

Qing Shuang nodded, extending her hand toward Luo Chen in an inviting gesture.

”First, let’s go to the White Bone Palace, there’s a teleportation formation there.”

Luo Chen frowned, eying the newcomer.

He knew the man, even had a fleeting encounter with him.

In the past, when Cang Long was transcending tribulation, it was this very man who intervened.

Master of the Great Snow Mountain, White Bone Mysterious Snake!

Facing Luo Chen’s scrutiny, White Bone Mysterious Snake gave a wicked smile, even extending a long tongue to lick his lips.
