Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

From Luotian, to Lingtian, then to Upper Nether, it seems long, yet in a daze, it’s merely a moment.

When the young man closed his eyes, he had already changed the world.

”You can open your eyes now.”

A gentle voice came by his ear, and Luo Lingxi opened his eyes.

He looked outside, where cultivators donned in black, faces full of murderous intent, were staring at him and others.

Instinctively, he tightened the large hand holding his own.

”It’s okay.”

In the next moment, those cultivators bowed respectfully.

”Greetings, Master Ye!”

Lingtian City Lord smiled and waved his hand, pointing to Luo Chen who had just stepped out of the teleportation formation.

”This is the famous Pill Master of the Eastern Wasteland, who will also become the Pill Master of our Mingyuan Sect.”

Those cultivators were surprised and bowed respectfully again toward Luo Chen.

”Greetings, Pill Master!”

Due to this gesture, Luo Lingxi felt the immense pressure brought by being watched dissipate instantly.

He looked up at his young father, whose expression remained calm, as if he was accustomed to such scenes.

He merely nodded slightly, without saying much.

Lingtian City Lord saw this and invited: ”Let’s go, we will stay in Upper Nether City for half a day. The sect has arranged a ferryman, and we can enter Mingyuan.”

Luo Chen held Luo Lingxi’s hand and walked out of the heavily guarded teleportation hall.

When he looked back, he happened to encounter several probing strands of divine consciousness.

Following the direction of the divine consciousness, Luo Chen quickly traced it back to the source and nodded slightly.

”No wonder it’s a Holy Land!”

”Just a teleportation hall not only has numerous Golden Core cultivators stationed at all times but also three Nascent Soul True Masters overseeing.”

Lingtian City Lord laughed: ”The matters of the teleportation hall are small, but our Mingyuan’s gate is a big deal. If we lost Upper Nether City, Mingyuan Sect would be blocked at the door, forcing us to gather personnel. Moreover, this is during regular times. If we went back a dozen or twenty years to the Human and Demon War, there would only be more Mingyuan True Masters in Upper Nether City.”

Luo Chen indeed felt this was reasonable.

The gateway of a sect must not tolerate any mistakes.

Like Yuan Mo Sect, though he hasn’t visited the real Beiji Yemo Tian mountain gate, he has seen its gateway, Taohai Immortal City, from afar.

Back then, the vast Immortal City was already a wasteland.

However, based on the wasteland, numerous arrays were set to seal Beiji Yemo Tian tightly.

This also resulted in the North Sea Demon Race being trapped by Yuan Mo Sect for a hundred years.

If Yuan Mo Sect hadn’t lost Taohai Immortal City back then, could it have avoided being blocked at the door?

If, before the North Sea Demon Race attacked, they had someone protect Taohai Immortal City, could they have escaped earlier?

These questions don’t have an ”if.”

With Lingtian City Lord’s enthusiastic guidance, Luo Chen toured the bustling Upper Nether City casually.

The three figures gradually blended into the crowd.

Meanwhile, within the palace complex near the teleportation hall, the three strands of probing divine consciousness finally returned to their owners.

”Such a keen sense of divine consciousness, such a strong divine soul endowment—that’s the Luo Chen Brother Chong Xuan mentioned, who defeated the Great Demon Emperor with one finger?”

”Though he protected a young man when the teleportation ended, why can’t I discern his realm despite focusing all my attention on him?”

”The Pill Master has arrived, quickly report to Family Head!”

...

Within Mingyuan Sacred Land.

On a secluded small island, array lights suddenly appeared, blocking direct entry for guests.

A gentle woman walked out of the pill room with an unhappy expression and summoned her disciples.

”Didn’t I say this century is crucial for my study of the Dao of Alchemy, no outside guests allowed? Which fellow disciples are so rude as to forcefully enter my Sulphur Jade Island?”

The disciple answered fearfully: ”Reporting to Master, it’s Junior Master Lu!”

Wen Wan furrowed her brows and murmured softly: ”Lu Chun Brother?”

Just at this moment, a figure appeared from afar, flying over at a seemingly slow but quick pace.

”Sister Chu, locking yourself away won’t research anything, why are you so unwelcome to your Senior Brother?”

Chu Yu took a deep breath, used the Cleaning Technique on herself, removed the complex pill qi from her body, and waited quietly.

After a few flickers, the figure crossed a hundred miles and landed in front of Chu Yu.

Dashing posture, calm demeanor.

Chu Yu said flatly: ”Senior Brother’s Escape Technique is superb, ignoring my Sulphur Jade Island’s array, seems your Dao cultivation has improved again!”

Lu Chun laughed heartily, his realm of Nascent Soul Fourth Layer undeniably revealed.

He indeed broke through the Early Nascent Soul Stage, considered significant progress in Dao cultivation.

However...

”Compared to Sister praising my Dao cultivation improvement, Senior Brother prefers you praise my achievements in the Dao of Alchemy.”

Chu Yu curled her lips: ”Unless you break through to Divine Transformation, even if you are Late Nascent Soul Stage, to us Pill Refiners, it makes little difference compared to Early Nascent Soul Stage.”

”No!”

Lu Chun clearly had a different view on this.

”Hasn’t Sister noticed that the Alchemy Saint Hall not only tests our Pill Refinement Technique but also has requirements for realm?”

Chu Yu sneered: ”So that’s why you’ve stopped immersing yourself in the study after mastering the refinement methods of three Fourth Order pills, and titled Little Master, shifting the focus to cultivation?”

Lu Chun’s face flushed slightly, but he did not shy away.

He admitted frankly: ”That’s indeed my thinking.”

Chu Yu shook her head: ”Then you’ve taken the wrong path. If a high realm and shallow dabbling in the Dao of Alchemy could obtain the Pill Saint Inheritance, wouldn’t the three ancestors hesitate to spend time to try pill refinement?”

Lu Chun opened his mouth, intending to refute, but found no words.

For those with Divine Transformation Great Power, lifespan long surpasses ordinary cultivators.
