Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Murmuring softly, Luo Chen’s mana fluctuations gradually settled, becoming calm.

The restless mood also slowly calmed down.

Only until now did he have the mood to reminisce about the special situation he had just experienced.

In this carefully prepared deep cultivation, he finally found the answer to why the Nascent Soul was so lively.

This Cultivation Room, this Spirit Vein, and even the surrounding heaven and earth, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was somewhat too high.

Usually, it’s fine and doesn’t affect cultivators.

But once entering the tranquil state of cultivation, the cultivator unknowingly gets immersed.

Cultivation has always been a difficult and painstaking endeavor, taxing both mind and body, which is why many cultivators cannot persist on The Great Dao Path and fall into the mundane world.

But if the Outer World’s Yuan Qi doesn’t require much effort and one can easily refine Spirit Qi into the body, who wouldn’t want to easily raise their realm?

However, there is no free lunch in the world.

Such ease brings a relaxation of mind, an unconscious descent, as heaven and earth assimilate individuals!

It was only because Luo Chen’s Purple Mansion Barrier was much thicker than ordinary Nascent Soul True Masters that he could maintain protection from the physical body during deep cultivation.

Especially, he also had the Chen Yuan Immortal Mirror to assist!

If it were someone else, the consequences would be unimaginable!

”So, would they encounter similar situations too?”

Murmuring to himself, Luo Chen suddenly remembered the scene of battling with Yang Daoist, Feng Bu Yan, and others before.

Their strength did not match their supposed realm.

Previously, Luo Chen thought it was due to the low level of local cultivators in the South Border.

Now, it seems, could it be related to the changes in this heaven and earth?

As Luo Chen pondered this, his spreading Divine Consciousness finally noticed the situation outside the palace.

”Heh.”

With a cold laugh, Luo Chen’s lips slowly curled up.

...

In the depths of the Shadow Light Sect.

A giant lantern, as grand as a hundred zhang, was emitting a bizarre red light.

Within, a silhouette darted about like lightning and thunder.

The speed was exceedingly fast, causing quite a stir.

A voice of admiration came from the thick night.

”How long have you been with that Flash Thunder Technique? You’ve already mastered it, quite talented indeed!”

”No, you used the Human Refining Gu method, catalyzing the Faceless Gu larvae, that’s how you succeeded, isn’t it?”

”I wonder which unlucky soul fell victim to your treachery.”

Master Ming Lei didn’t respond, merely seeking an opportunity to breakthrough.

Yet, no matter how he charged left and right, the lantern’s red light relentlessly enveloped him.

The huge lantern began to slowly shrink, compressing the space for movement of the silhouette inside.

A breath of death emerged in Master Ming Lei’s heart.

He roared angrily, ”Lantern Master, why ambush me?”

Under the night, the red light brightly illuminated Lantern Master’s face, with squinting eyes revealing a hint of sinister ruthlessness.

”Ambush?”

”You simply walked into the net!”

”Did you really think my introduction last time was out of kindness? Just to make you lower your guard, making it easier for me to act.”

”If not for my own cultivation mishap halfway last time, how would you have survived to return to Wind and Thunder Gorge!”

Murmuring to himself, he extended a tongue like a snake’s, licking his lips.

”I think your skin would make a fine Thunder Lamp!”

Master Ming Lei was filled with rage and panic, ”We have no past enmity, no recent grievances, and just to refine a Magic Item, you target me?”

Lantern Master sighed, ”Though we have no grudges, there are other purposes I seek! In that barren Wind and Thunder Gorge, you probably can’t sense the changes in heaven and earth. Over the years, too many peers have inexplicably suffered demonic deviations during cultivation, yet the cause couldn’t be found. I heard the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance has a solution; I want to join them, but they do not accept weaklings. If I could have one more lantern, significantly increasing my strength, surely the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance wouldn’t reject me.”

He chuckled at this point.

”I didn’t help you last time; you probably hold resentment already. Since we can’t be friends, might as well use you up.”

Master Ming Lei was furious!

He was no waste!

Seeing no way out of this red lantern’s confinement, Master Ming Lei immediately abandoned the idea of escaping with the Flash Thunder Technique, standing firmly on the earth.

Watching the encroaching red light from all directions, he took a deep breath, making several Seal Gestures, his lower belly expanding rapidly.

Suddenly!

He exhaled powerfully, his palms striking forward.

Lightning flared fiercely!

Endless lightning burst forth from his body.

The sinister red light, under the force of this Power of Thunder, retreated in all directions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Master Ming Lei dashed out, escaping the suppression of the red lantern.

Yet, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief.

A green lamp emitted a hazy light, illuminating his pale face.

Lantern Master, carrying a Green Soul Lamp, stepped forward, face filled with pity.

”Why struggle futilely?”

”You are merely a Rogue Cultivator, destined never to achieve The Great Dao Path, why not become a soul beneath my lamp, fulfilling me.”

At this moment, Master Ming Lei’s Qi Power was depleted.

He gasped for breath, darkly chuckling, ”I’ve toiled through hundreds of years of cultivation to reach this realm, how can it profit you?”

Lantern Master raised an eyebrow, ”Fight, you can’t defeat me. Escape, this place is the Shadow Light Sect’s mountain gate, where can you flee? And don’t even think of perishing together, with this Green Soul Lamp specifically for suppressing Qi Power, even if you self-destruct your Nascent Soul, you can’t harm me in the slightest.”

With that, he shook his head disdainfully.
