Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”He just came out and went back in again?” Luo Chen was somewhat surprised.

”Is there anything important that you want to assign to someone, Senior? You can entrust it to me.”

”Indeed, there are some trivial matters. Please help me collect various Body Refinement Methods, regardless of their order, without any restrictions. As long as it involves body refinement, gather them for me.”

Luo Chen did not mention any reward, but the other party accepted the task respectfully.

Assisting Master Ming Lei in safeguarding Wind and Thunder Gorge is already the greatest reward.

Collecting various cultivation techniques is a trivial matter, hardly worth mentioning.

After the young ones departed, Luo Chen finally settled into contemplation.

Now, his demeanor was no longer arrogant and domineering as seen by outsiders, but extremely calm.

”The strength of the Southern Border Nascent Soul Cultivators is weaker than I imagined!”

A sense of doubt spontaneously arose.

The strength he previously displayed was merely at the usual level of Mid-Fourth Stage of Body Refining.

If judged by the Immortal Dao Realm, it equates to the Middle Stage Nascent Soul.

Among the two opponents he faced, leaving Ning Yuzhuo aside, who like him came from the Outer Continent and performed decently, able to barely match Luo Chen face-to-face.

But in comparison, Daoist Yang at the Third Layer of Nascent Soul was quite poor.

His manipulation of his Natal Magic Item was unsatisfactory, the operation of his Qi Power was exceedingly stingy, suggesting a feeling of... being restrained!

”Yes, restrained!”

”Even Feng Bu Yan’s subsequent voluntary retreat seemed to be avoiding a true life-and-death battle?”

”I had prepared to unleash all True Devices, even transform into my True Body and suppress the three with the power of thunder, yet nothing was used.”

”What are they ultimately worried about?”

Luo Chen couldn’t comprehend it despite much thought.

As his efforts yielded nothing, Luo Chen decided to wait for Master Ming Lei to return to seek further information.

While idling, he thought of Ning Yuzhuo, whom he had faced previously.

Indeed worthy of being a True Disciple of the North Sea Primordial Demon Sect, truly talented!

After being suppressed by the Tianji Zen Sect for hundreds of years, upon his release, he not only broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage but also mastered Buddhist Skills.

”Dual cultivation of Buddhism and demonry; I indeed look forward to the next normal meeting with him.”

In Luo Chen’s eyes, there was a hint of anticipation. It is rumored that the Body Refining Technique of the Western Desert Buddhism is the only one preserved completely in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Wonder if Ning Yuzhuo also practiced techniques in this area?

Time quickly passed, and just a cycle of sunset and moonrise, Master Ming Lei sought him out.

”It’s settled!”

Master Ming Lei couldn’t hide his delight.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”That smoothly?”

Master Ming Lei laughed heartily, ”With you as a deterrent, Feng Bu Yan, that old fellow, naturally spoke nicely.”

The older one gets in Jianghu, the more cautious one becomes.

This saying applies equally in the Immortal Cultivation World.

The killing intent Luo Chen previously displayed was exceptionally rare, and Feng Bu Yan feared they might clash over Songtao Mountain Range at the slightest disagreement.

After laughing, Master Ming Lei’s expression became slightly serious.

”Although Feng Bu Yan acknowledged that Wind and Thunder Gorge will be mine in the future, and even agreed to mutual exchanges and cooperation, he proposed a condition: that we assist him in a task, as long as it doesn’t involve life-threatening dangers.”

This condition was immediately refused by Luo Chen without a second thought.

Master Ming Lei wasn’t surprised by this, ”I anticipated your reaction and had already informed him of this possibility. He likely won’t insist.”

Master Ming Lei then spoke naturally, ”Feng Bu Yan is quite curious about your origins; although the Southern Border is vast, people of your profound expertise in body refinement are far from nameless, and he entrusted me to inquire about your background.”

Upon these words, silence enveloped the cave mansion.

The smile on Master Ming Lei’s face gradually faded as he awkwardly looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen, looking at him with a faint smile that suggested intrigue, remarked, ”Brother Ming Lei, I wonder if you’ve heard the saying, ’Those who discern deep fish are not auspicious, those who estimate hidden troubles bring calamity?’”
