Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

A dragon horn was slowly emerging from the soil, like a bamboo shoot.

Then a pair of angry eyes appeared.

”Little one, who allowed you to touch my dragon horn?”

Sha Dragon Child opened his mouth, incredulous, and said: ”Black... Black...”

”Call me Lord Black King!”

The Black King snorted, blowing out a puff of hot air.

”Lord Black King, you’re still alive.” Sha Dragon Child exclaimed, his expression turning from shock to joy, as if realizing something.

Although within Luo Tian Sect, Lord Black King and Elder Tianxuan both referred to Master Luo Chen as master.

But in truth, they all knew that Elder Tianxuan was not strictly speaking a spiritual pet of Master Luo Chen, as he did not take her soul blood.

Yet Lord Black King was a genuine spiritual pet.

Once the master perishes, he would inevitably be implicated!

Now that Lord Black King has appeared, doesn’t it mean...

”Lower your voice!”

The Black King opened his mouth and expelled a wave of origin force, forming a soundproof barrier.

This rudimentary technique was something he had long learned from the master.

Then his lips moved, conveying the detailed message to Sha Dragon Child.

Finally, the Black King solemnly said, ”Remember, the news that the master is still alive can only be told to your teacher, not even the master’s two dao companions nor disciples!”

Sha Dragon Child was puzzled and wanted to ask further.

But the Black King impatiently said, ”Don’t ask why, your teacher will naturally understand.”

Sha Dragon Child nodded; as long as Master is still alive, everything else will work out.

”I’m leaving!”

”Lord Black King, aren’t you returning to Luo Tian Sect?”

The Black King paused, then sneered, ”How can I return? As soon as I show up, I will reveal the master’s situation.”

Sha Dragon Child pondered; indeed, that’s the reasoning.

But where is Master now, and why is he so reluctant to reveal his whereabouts?

And why not tell his two closest dao companions about his survival?

These questions, the departed Black King would not answer him.

And soon after, within the heavily guarded cave mansion of the teacher, Wang Yuan, who learned of this, did not tell him the answers either.

But it was visibly apparent that the usually composed Teacher Wang Yuan had become even more relaxed.

”Go inform Sect Leader Li to postpone the Immortal Assembly planned two years from now, and my Luo Tian Sect should not recruit new disciples for the time being.”

Sha Dragon Child curiously asked, ”What about Elder Ling Fengzi? I heard he’s recalling many Piaomiao Sect disciples scattered outside and plans to expand Piaomiao Hall.”

Wang Yuan’s expression darkened, ”It doesn’t matter; I’ll talk to him. But right now, our sect is headless, making it easier for spies from other forces to infiltrate. Everything can be dealt with once he returns.”

Sha Dragon Child realized the situation instantly.

Of course, he still didn’t understand why this information wasn’t shared with Uncles Sima Huiniang and Gu Caiyi.

Wang Yuan thought for a moment and whispered, ”Sima Huiniang just had a child, and her emotional control isn’t what it used to be, making her prone to leakage. As for Gu Caiyi... heh, maybe he’s still talking about fairness!”

...

Wang Yuan’s guess was correct; Luo Chen did have such concerns.

His disappearance is neither too significant nor too trivial.

As long as he returned in the end, it didn’t matter.

But the whereabouts during his disappearance was a major issue.

If anyone knew he had returned to Cangwu Mountain during this period when the Human and Demon War had just ended, it could easily stir up some troubles.

Especially the Dark Abyss Sect, with Heize Ancestor’s style, God knows what he’d do.

During the Great War, Jiuling Yuanjun and others only knew he fled, no one saw him and Qing Shuang leave together ”peacefully.”

With the glorious record of slaying Huang Man on the spot, when he returns and claims he was severely injured and had been hiding for years to recover, it naturally would be glossed over.

The trip to Cangwu Mountain was best left unspoken.

As for why only notify Wang Yuan?

Luo Chen was still worried his disappearance would cause the stable Luo Tian Sect to fall into chaos again.

Wang Yuan was the person he trusted most, old enough in seniority, and his previously lacking realm had been offset by proving his strength in the battle with Old Ghost Mo Tian.

As long as Wang Yuan had confidence, he could manage all matters of the Luo Tian Sect.

After sending Black King back to report, Luo Chen had been trying to revert his master cultivation technique.

The self-created ”Withering and Flourishing Dao Scripture” was by no means inferior.

Even out in the world, it could serve as the foundational legacy of a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect.

But this technique was too complex, created with the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire as the core. The deeper the cultivation, the more it led Luo Chen to be overly influenced by the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire.

Previously, being assimilated by Heaven and Earth caused him to develop a heart demon, which he thought was just the aftermath of displaying the divine power of the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger.

In hindsight, wasn’t it the covert influence of the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire?

After all, this type of Heaven and Earth strange fire is not dissimilar from those Fifth tier Spirits, already capable of communicating with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Now, by reverting to the ”Phoenix Nirvana Sutra,” it can change this situation.

This technique is the most supreme fire attribute technique, capable of commanding all fires under heaven!

Of course, for a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, switching the natal qi technique twice in succession is a major taboo in cultivation.

But for Luo Chen, the impact wasn’t that great.

Because before the first conversion to ”Withering and Flourishing Dao Scripture,” he originally cultivated the ”Phoenix Nirvana Sutra’s” Golden Core Chapter, and now it’s just continuing the previous thread again.

But having little impact doesn’t mean the transition is smooth!

In the end, this technique is the true scripture of the Phoenix Clan’s legacy.
