Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Feng Bu Yan’s expression was full of shock and uncertainty, glancing occasionally at the resentful Yang Daoist and then at Ning Yuzhuo, whose Demonic Qi was surging.

Suddenly, a voice resounded.

”Neither fighting nor retreating, what is the meaning of this!”

The voice was like thunder, shaking the hearts of those present.

Under the influence of this shout, more than ten thousand Feng Family disciples toppled over, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Feng Bu Yan shivered all over, ”Enough!”

Yang Daoist couldn’t believe it, ”Brother Feng, it’s just one person. The three of us attacking together isn’t necessarily a lost battle!”

Ning Yuzhuo remained silent, the surging Demonic Qi obscuring his white robe, as the long blade in his hand was slowly raised high.

Feng Bu Yan sighed and said, ”It cannot be done, retreat!”

After speaking, he directly exited the Wind and Thunder Gorge.

Yang Daoist, holding the broken wooden staff, was unwilling.

But under Luo Chen’s gaze, he involuntarily looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.

On Ning Yuzhuo, the Buddha Energy reappeared, suppressing much of the Demonic Qi, and the sword returned to its sheath with some hesitation.

At the entrance of Wind and Thunder Gorge, Master Ming Lei proactively came to Luo Chen’s side, with a naturally flattering expression on his face.

”Brother Qi, thank you!”

Luo Chen waved his hand, ”No need to thank me in haste. My driving them away this time is only a temporary measure. If they harbor intentions again after I leave, how will you respond?”

Master Ming Lei was stunned for a moment.

Then he quickly realized the importance of this critical time point.

”We must sign a treaty and establish a non-aggression alliance. In addition, the Wind and Thunder Gorge should nominally belong to me... us!”

Luo Chen replied with a half-smile, ”Us?”

Master Ming Lei replied as a matter of course, ”Yes, Brother Qi, as one of the Thirty-Six Cave Masters of Wind and Thunder Gorge, naturally, you have a share here.”

Luo Chen pointed upwards to the sky with his finger, ”Territory division involving the Nascent Soul Domain should be reported to the Holy Land Life and Death Gate, shouldn’t it?”

”In the past, yes, but now...” Master Ming Lei shook his head, ”Although I don’t know what’s going on with the Life and Death Gate, they are currently too preoccupied with their own problems to bother with such trifles.”

Luo Chen felt suspicion arise within him, deeply curious about what exactly had happened to the Holy Land Life and Death Gate.

Yet his expression remained calm and composed.

”In that case, Friend, go ahead with the negotiations!”

Master Ming Lei cupped his hands in farewell and left joyfully.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the Feng Family army, who departed in high spirits and returned crestfallen, was rather dejected.

Nobody expected such a grand campaign to end in such an anticlimactic fashion.

The lower order cultivators couldn’t quite comprehend to whom the battle had ultimately tilted.

They only knew that after a mere brief exchange, their own Supreme Elder had admitted defeat.

This truly dealt a huge blow to morale.

Feng Bu Yan could naturally feel the grievances below, yet he couldn’t explain.

Luo Chen’s strength was indeed unexpected.

In the short exchange, the two experts he had invited were each hurt to varying degrees.

Being so advanced in age, if he really fought to the death with someone, whether he could win was one thing, but if he sustained even a slight injury, there might be no one to protect the Feng Family in the future.

”Wind and Thunder Gorge is probably not that extraordinary, just that Master Ming Lei’s promotion to Nascent Soul was too recent and thus wasn’t greatly affected. It’s not worth gambling the clan’s future on it.”

”Ba Xiu Qi Tian...”

Feng Bu Yan murmured this name, his mind filled with doubt.

No one in the South Border had ever heard of such a character!

Could it be that he, like Ning Yuzhuo, was another powerful being from the Outer Continent?

As he speculated, he couldn’t help but glance at Ning Yuzhuo’s room, where torrents of Buddha Energy and Demonic Qi frequently emerged, making it impossible for living beings to approach.

”He has only been in the South Border for just over a decade, progressing in his cultivation at a tremendous pace, a resplendent scene indeed.”

”But judging from today’s events, he may have started to show signs of change as well.”

”Should I...”

Just as he was entertaining this thought, a clan member reported from outside.

”Supreme Elder, a letter poison is hovering outside.”

”Who sent it?”

”Master Ming Lei!”

Feng Bu Yan frowned, beckoning towards the outside, and a moment later, a bird resembling a swallow landed in his hand.

After briefly browsing the information it contained, he let out a cold laugh.

”This guy sure knows how to exploit a situation!”

After the cold laugh, he was about to refuse the negotiations, but his hand paused suddenly.

”If I could borrow the strength of those two, no matter how strange Ning Yuzhuo might be, I should be able to take him down easily, right?”

...

”Senior Qi, this is your Cave Mansion!”

A Golden Core Cultivator respectfully introduced Luo Chen to a somewhat old-fashioned Cave Mansion.

With Luo Chen’s keen eye, it was clear that someone had previously lived here, and it had just been vacated.

In terms of Spirit Qi concentration, it was already a top grade among the Third Order, yet it hadn’t quite reached the threshold of the Fourth Order.

Master Ming Lei arranged for him to stay here, not out of neglect, but with genuine intent to fulfill his earlier promise.

Luo Chen had become one of the Thirty-Six Cave Masters of Wind and Thunder Gorge!

As a guest, he could temporarily reside in the Ming Lei Cave Mansion.

But now that he’s become a master, he should have a Cave Mansion of his own.

”Senior, are you satisfied?” the Golden Core Cultivator asked cautiously, looking at Luo Chen with tremendous awe.

The previous battle, although extremely brief, had left a deep impression.

Nascent Soul True Masters were already figures they needed to look up to, and Luo Chen, who could easily defeat a Nascent Soul True Master, was truly an unsurpassable supreme force!

Luo Chen nodded, not entirely satisfied, but not dissatisfied either.

It was merely a temporary resting place.

He casually asked, ”Where is Cheng Bai?”

The Golden Core Cultivator was taken aback for a moment, then replied with a somewhat unnatural expression, ”Cheng Bai went to the Mist Wilderness to search for treasures.”
