Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”On this journey, we will first head to Lingtian Pass, take the teleportation formation to Upper Nether City. From there, entering Mingyuan is the fastest route.”

Inside the hall, the Lingtian City Lord explained the specific route of the journey to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was already familiar with Upper Nether Immortal City.

Before Lingtian Pass, this location was considered the foremost Heroic City in the Eastern Wasteland.

Existing since ancient times, it has endured numerous wars. It was built and destroyed, and destroyed and rebuilt, as the Dark Abyss Sect gradually established a firm foothold, Upper Nether City became a major iconic gateway for the sect.

Over the next three thousand years, it suffered no fire of war and developed into a thriving place.

Many top-tier Great Sects in the Eastern Wasteland have established ”Service Points” there, both for commerce and business and to facilitate the immediate acquisition of certain news from the Divine Transformation Holy Land.

For the Mingyuan Sect, the significance of Upper Nether City bore almost no difference to the relationship Taohai City had with the Yuan Mo Sect.

It was both a sect gateway and an important place for external communication and exchanges.

If developed normally, the Luo Tian Sect would also establish an office there in the future, receiving certain privileges because of Luo Chen.

”Is it such a rush?” Luo Chen asked, smiled, and then added, ”I intended to travel all the way, to experience the beautiful sceneries and landscapes of other immortal sects in the Eastern Wasteland. For over the past hundred years, I’ve been fighting, truly neglecting many beautiful views.”

”It’s indeed a bit rushed, but our sect is eager for talent, and has long been looking forward to the arrival of the Alchemy Sect.”

The Lingtian City Lord blinked as he said this.

Luo Chen smiled knowingly and humbly said, ”The Mingyuan is revered as the Divine Transformation Holy Land, surely talents in the Dao of Alchemy are abundant like schools of fish in the river; how could someone like me be of such importance.”

”Friend, you are too modest.”

The Lingtian City Lord did not agree with Luo Chen’s excessive humility, though he did not object to certain parts of his words.

”In the Dao of Alchemy, the Mingyuan Sect does indeed have several accomplished individuals, in this regard, you should pay attention to some matters.”

”Oh, how so?” Luo Chen became interested.

The Lingtian City Lord did not keep anything to himself, understanding Luo Chen’s Pill Refinement Technique deeply beyond the realm of his friends. Luo Chen was about to reach the Holy Land, in the future, as long as nothing goes wrong, he is bound to soar high.

Building a good relationship with him would be an important resource not only for him personally but also for his backing, the Ye Family.

Not to mention, their relationship was not bad to begin with.

Hence, the Lingtian City Lord laid out the situation relating to the Dao of Alchemy within the Mingyuan Sect.

”Chu Yan junior sister, although left for Zhongzhou due to personal reasons, she still left a profound foundation of the Dao of Alchemy within the sect.”

”Currently, there are five Alchemy Grandmasters in the Mingyuan Sect!”

”They are Junior Brother Lu Chun, Junior Sister Chu Yu, Mr. Xuan Yan, Chen Mozi, and Xinyi Sheng.”

Upon hearing these five names, Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed.

Among them, he was quite familiar with some.

Seeing his reaction, the Lingtian City Lord couldn’t help but smile.

”It seems you understand the weight behind these names, my friend!”

Luo Chen did not deny it, seriously said, ”The others I may not have heard of, but Mr. Xuan Yan’s name I do know. It’s rumored that the Medicine Emperor of the Medicine King Sect was once his Medicine Child before he made his fortune. Just by dabbling in a part of Mr. Xuan Yan’s Pill Refinement Technique, he forged his own sect, even founding the Medicine King Sect.”

”That’s true.” The Lingtian City Lord nodded but was rather regretful, ”Unfortunately, he is very old now. Even though he himself masters the Life Extension Technique, and our sect provides Longevity Pills, he is extremely weakened in Qi-Blood now, rarely does he refine pills himself. He is wholeheartedly engaged in closed-door research, intending to pen another book before he passes on.”

Immortal cultivators are not like Body Refiners, refining Qi and storing spirit is somewhat less compared to Body Refining.

Thus, when they grow old, their physical body and Qi-Blood inevitably move toward decline.

Even Nascent Soul True Masters cannot avoid this.

Actually, it’s not just immortal cultivators, even orthodox Body Refiners encounter similar issues.

Only when the Body Refinement Stage achieves the Fourth Realm, attaining a Leakless Golden Body, can one ensure a flourishing Qi-Blood that does not decline, enduring endlessly, only suddenly surging forth before passing on.

Even Demon Beasts cannot escape this law!

Otherwise, why do they seek to transform into human form?

The grand beast form constantly leaks Qi-Blood, only the relatively smaller human form can effectively lock in one’s Essence Qi.

After lamenting, the Lingtian City Lord returned to the main topic.

”I mentioned that the five individuals each have their achievements in pill refinement, absolutely not inferior to the renowned Alchemy Grandmasters of the Eastern Wasteland like the Medicine Emperor, Mr. Yao.”

”Among them, Junior Brother Lu Chun and Junior Sister Chu Yu are both from our Mingyuan Sect. Especially Junior Sister Chu Yu, who originated from the Chu Family, the same as Junior Sister Chu Yan.”

”The other three were talents invited from the Eastern Wasteland’s Immortal Cultivation World over the years by our sect.”

”Like our sect?” Luo Chen pointed to himself.

”Indeed!” The Lingtian City Lord nodded, casually mentioning the background of those three people.

Mr. Xuan Yan had sect heritage in his early years, but unfortunately, after the sect was destroyed, he didn’t revitalize it, instead researching the Dao of Alchemy alone.

During this process, many strong individuals enamored with the Dao of Alchemy joined his ranks, helping him with fire control in pill refinement, selecting medicine, and acquiring materials.

The Medicine Emperor of the Medicine King Sect is one such example.

Chen Mozi, however, was different. He was a major talent from the East Sun Sect. Due to the good relationship between the two families, he came and went frequently, eventually staying in the Mingyuan Sect.

Xinyi Sheng was from the ancient Meihua Sect, relatively younger compared to the former two. When he was in the Golden Core Period, he exhibited extraordinary talent in pill refinement, becoming a well-known Pill Refinement Grandmaster.
