Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Kill!”

In the vast snow mountains, the shouts of battle were deafening.

Countless figures were defending pristine ice fortresses, continuously striking down the demon beasts surging from the Great Snow Mountain.

However, this time the beast tide was unexpectedly fierce.

With several Demon Kings repeatedly attacking, the Xuanbing Castle, fortified with numerous defensive arrays, collapsed in succession.

Boom!

When yet another ice fortress fell, the two nearby fortresses also crumbled.

This was a chain reaction caused by interconnected arrays.

Relying on a group of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement Stage cultivators to withstand this beast tide was entirely due to the strength of the array.

But once an array eye failed, the backlash would be even more severe.

Gu Xiaorou and her fellow sisters were forced to retreat, watching the massive Frostwolf King that breached the ice fortress, despair evident in their eyes.

A confused sister beside her asked, ”Where are the mentors? Why haven’t they taken action yet?”

To this, Gu Xiaorou gritted her teeth and responded, ”They were severely injured in the Sky-reaching Secret Realm expedition organized by the Yu Ding Sword Sect and can’t spare any strength right now; we can only rely on ourselves!”

As she spoke, she slapped a talisman onto herself and instead of retreating, advanced amid the exclamations of her sisters, charging straight towards the Frostwolf King.

A large amount of Heaven and Earth Qi was attracted by the Profound Ice Talisman, converging towards her, causing her aura to surge continuously.

This scene somewhat resembled a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator controlling Heaven and Earth Qi.

However, the Frostwolf King merely gave her a disdainful glance.

A slap!

Bam!

Gu Xiaorou went as fast as she came back.

Turning into a rolling gourd, she tumbled across the freezing and biting ground.

When she finally managed to stop, she couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Pfft!

The girl at this time also couldn’t help but show despair in her eyes.

The gap was simply too large; without Golden Core cultivators, it was fundamentally impossible to resist the Third-Order Medicine King.

Moreover, this was merely a Frostwolf King.

On the nearby battlefield, there was also a Seven-Ring Snow Python and a Cross-striped Snowy Owl.

Both of them were also Third-Order Demon Kings comparable to the Golden Core Period; without the aid of arrays, the low-order female cultivators of the ice fortress were fundamentally no match.

”Is this really the end?”

Inexplicably, the most reliable figure emerged in Gu Xiaorou’s mind.

”Senior Sister, where are you?”

Just at this moment!

Sword light soared from Tianshan.

An incomparably brilliant sword light, traversed a thousand miles in an instant, piercing the Frostwolf King with a chilling strike amidst its fear.

Gu Xiaorou was stunned.

Then she saw a familiar figure gradually reveal itself before her.

”Senior Sister Cang Long?”

The woman did not look back, only gazing into the distant horizon.

Beside her, the massive corpse of the Frostwolf King collapsed, while afar the Seven-Ring Snow Python swept the wind and snow, and in the sky, a Cross-striped Snowy Owl dropped its feathered wings, like sharp swords approaching.

Her expression remained calm as she once more summoned the flying sword, aiming at the Cross-striped Snowy Owl King.

As for the rampaging Seven-Ring Snow Python, she seemed to pay it no mind.

Gu Xiaorou struggled to stand, exclaiming, ”Senior Sister, be careful!”

In the next moment, something appeared in Cang Long’s hand, resembling a castle or a pagoda.

With a powerful toss!

The castle expanded continuously, ultimately reaching a height of nine stories, and then crashed down fiercely.

Boom!

The terrifying Seven-Ring Snow Python was instantly suppressed to death by the nine-story ice castle.

The Cross-striped Snowy Owl King in the sky, after a scream, flapped its wings and fled in haste.

In an instant, the three Great Snow Mountain Demon Kings leading the beast tide ended up with one dead, one wounded, and one fleeing.

The crisis was resolved effortlessly.

With the leaders gone, a large number of lower-order demon beasts fled in panic, tails between their legs.

Only then did Cang Long turn around, smiling at the girl.

”Sister Little Rou, how did you end up so disheveled!”

Gu Xiaorou opened her petite mouth in surprise, somewhat incredulously asking, ”Senior sister, have you broken through to the Golden Core Period?”

Cang Long smiled slightly, waved her hand to summon back the blood-stained flying sword, and with a wipe, it revealed its original magnificence.

”How could I slay a Demon King if I hadn’t reached the Golden Core Period?”

Gu Xiaorou swallowed, thinking that her senior sister’s Golden Core period was probably not that simple.

Even upon her initial breakthrough, such terrifying combat power, effortlessly wielding two magic items, spoke to the profound strength of her Divine Soul endowment, surpassing those uncles and elders seen before.

Moreover, if she wasn’t mistaken, that nine-story ice castle should be the sect’s stabilizing magic item—Moonlight Ice Castle!

When did the master entrust this item to her senior sister?

Cang Long didn’t engage in idle chatter with her, instructing her to heal, then walked across the battlefield, clearing up ongoing skirmishes.

Gu Xiaorou found a wall with difficulty to lean against, checking her injuries.

A gentle yet magnetic voice sounded beside her.

”Friend Gu, your daring charge at the Frostwolf King was truly admirable!”

Gu Xiaorou looked up and saw an extremely handsome face appear before her.

If she remembers correctly, this person should be a cultivator from a vassal ice castle family, with the surname Shang?

He was invited to help resist the beast tide this time and seemed unharmed.

Gu Xiaorou shook her head, discouraged, ”It was just overestimating my abilities.”

Cultivator Shang chuckled, ”To draw your sword against a Third-Order Demon King at the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment is courage enough to be praised.”

Gu Xiaorou felt a warmth in her heart from these words.

Actually, at that time she didn’t think much, instinctively feeling that she couldn’t let other sisters face the Demon King, so she charged out.
