Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

On the tranquil mountain peak, winds and clouds suddenly stirred.

Thousands of ancient runes rose from the void, flying upwards, weaving a golden Luo Tian Intelligence Net in the clouds.

Various Glints stopped and landed on the plaza outside the grand hall atop the mountain.

Luo Chen was among them.

After exchanging glances with Master Ming Lei, he turned his attention to his surroundings.

At first glance, he had already grasped the situation.

”Counting those newly arrived like us, there are a total of forty True Masters!”

This is not a small number, one must know that within the Eastern Wasteland’s Immortal Cultivation World, aside from the Holy Land experts, at its peak there are only seventy to eighty Nascent Soul experts.

Now this Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance occupies nearly half!

In comparison, the largest cultivator alliance Luo Chen has seen, the Canghai Righteous Alliance, falls short of this.

”I wonder what means the Songyang Alliance Leader used to gather these people together?”

As Luo Chen pondered, exclamations occasionally rang out across the scene.

”Friend Xie, why are you also at Mi Realm Mountain?”

”Hidden Sword Tower Master, people only thought him dedicated to self-cultivation and hiding his sword, yet unexpectedly he has joined the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance.”

”Brother Guan, long time no see!”

This massive entity, the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance, even if merely emerging, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Not until this moment did the newcomers realize how many experts from the South Border have secretly joined the Zombie Alliance over the past two hundred years.

Luo Chen knew few people, so he felt little about it.

But comparing it with alliances he had seen in the past, he clearly understood its significance.

”The Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance is determined to oppose the Gate of Life and Death!”

As he felt astonished, Luo Chen suddenly noticed some gazes directed at him.

It wasn’t just one!

He calmly scanned over them without any evasion.

Among them were Ning Yuzhuo, whose gaze carried resentment, Purple Robe Marquis, eager to move, and Zheng Guan Daoist, who acknowledged him with a smile.

Instead, the Left Envoy of Luo Sect, Bei Puti, with a look of delayed awareness and friendship, nodded upon meeting Luo Chen’s gaze.

He paid them no heed but focused his attention immediately.

For the ancient palace atop the mountain was slowly opening its doors.

Three figures gradually appeared before the crowd.

Two men and one woman, all possessing strong and formidable aura.

The leader wore a deep purple Daoist robe, with a face of utmost authority. His sword-like brows seemed capable of slicing through the morning mist, causing a shiver in the hearts of those who met his gaze.

The other two included one with crane-like hair and youthful countenance, benevolent eyes and long white brows hanging down each side, giving an aura of great virtue.

The other Female Cultivator, in comparison, appeared less gifted in preservation; an arched frame, heavily wrinkled skin, and a bright red robe made her look out of place.

”True Master Songyang has appeared!”

Upon seeing these three, the plaza faintly buzzed with excitement.

Master Ming Lei moved closer to Luo Chen, and uncertainly introduced, ”According to rumors, the leader is True Master Songyang. The crane-haired and youthful elder is the famous Master Li Tian, and the other Female Cultivator is Hong Ye Granny.”

Luo Chen nodded and asked, ”Wasn’t it said that the Zombie Alliance has another extremely formidable Great Cultivator within its ranks?”

”You mean Burial Elder?” Master Ming Lei realized, then cautiously replied, ”That one has a very eccentric nature and seldom appears. If you join the Zombie Alliance, it’s best to avoid dealings with him.”

”Why?” Luo Chen asked.

However, before Master Ming Lei could answer, True Master Songyang began to speak above.

”Esteemed True Masters, this marks the first public appearance of our Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance. I hope everyone gains from this exchange meeting.”

”Let’s skip the idle talk, I will only mention three rules!”

”First, during the exchange meeting, all trades are based on mutual consent. No suppressing others with one’s realm, no forcing sales due to lack of capability.”

”Second, the exchange meeting lasts for ten days. After ten days, those not joining the Zombie Alliance must leave and may not linger.”

”Finally...”

True Master Songyang’s stern gaze swept over the crowd, his words chilling as he said:

”Within Mi Realm Mountain, fighting is forbidden. Violation will result in merciless death!”

When the words ”merciless death” were uttered, a powerful aura exploded from True Master Songyang as its center.

The Nascent Soul Domain, akin to a mountain, pressed down upon everyone.

Those with weaker Qi Power almost could not breathe.

Even Luo Chen felt a sense of slowness in his movements.

His heart tightened, discerning the microcosm of the situation, he immediately gained a clear judgment of True Master Songyang’s strength.

”A genuine Great Cultivator!”

”Just from the surface, his might is already on par with Moon Independent Cultivator, Tian Douzi, and others.”

”Were his Domain fully unleashed, among late-stage Nascent Soul experts, he would be considered a top figure.”

Above.

The crane-haired and youthful elder smiled warmly witnessing this scene, ”Daoist Songyang, we are all kindred spirits from South Border, why be so severe?”

True Master Songyang pressed his lips, seeing the crowd below all intimidated by him, he nodded slightly.

The vast Nascent Soul Domain abruptly retracted.

He cupped his hands in greeting, ”Esteemed guests, please!”

With such an action, the atmosphere in the scene instantly loosened.

Silhouettes began filing into the grand hall.

Upon entering.

They were greeted by attendants and directed to their respective seats.

Luo Chen’s side was no different.

An attendant quietly introduced the ten-day flow to him.

”Every day, a profound Zombie Alliance True Master will publicly lecture, seniors with ideas can also ascend to share cultivation insight.”

”The Side Hall provides rooms for arrangements. If seniors wish to privately communicate or trade certain resources, inform us at any time for room arrangements.”
