Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

In a quiet room on the flying boat.

Luo Chen was reading a book while sipping the Five Temple Immortal Brew.

This was his way of suppressing the pain within his body.

Though it appeared that he broke through to the Late Fourth Order of Ancient Desolation within just a year at Mi Realm Mountain, in reality, the ”Hundred Poison Body Refining Technique” is not a fast-track method, but rather a cumulative Water Grinding Technique.

The toxins released by the Hundred Poison King Gu slowly refine the entire body.

Through continuous damage and restructuring, the parts of the physical body that usually can’t be honed become even stronger.

This refinement process happens at all times.

Therefore, pain accompanies him constantly!

Why does the Purple Robe Marquis say that cultivation of this technique is difficult? He clearly also practices body refinement, so why not cultivate this technique concurrently?

The reason lies in the intensity of the pain, which isn’t just simple pain; it also affects the normal cultivation of Qi Refinement.

With Luo Chen’s one body and four souls, he can naturally block some of it during Qi Refinement.

But in daily life, it’s ultimately unavoidable.

Fortunately, he still has some stock of Spirit Wine obtained from Dieyun Sect; sipping it from time to time, the joy of the wine can numb many things.

The Five Temple Immortal Brew also has excellent nourishing effects on the five organs of the human body; otherwise, he couldn’t have endured that terrifying recoil force during close combat with the Qing Shuang Demon Emperor.

”I wonder now that I am in the late stage of body refinement, can I match Qing Shuang in a direct collision?”

With that thought flashing by, Luo Chen laid down the book in his hand.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Knock!

Luo Chen lifted his eyelids, ”Come in!”

The door opened, and a rather short, wrinkled old man walked in.

Luo Chen slightly curled the corner of his mouth, ”Meng Shentong, why do you have time to come here?”

Meng Shentong chuckled, ”The Golden Lion Empire is about to arrive, and I thought I would inform you.”

”Is it just that simple?” Luo Chen didn’t believe it. A simple message hardly warrants a Supreme to come in person.

Meng Shentong’s smile faded, and he clasped his hands, ”I was disrespectful during our test that day, please don’t take it to heart, friend.”

Luo Chen picked up his wine glass and took a gentle sip, ”Speak freely!”

The faint wine aroma soothed the soul.

Meng Shentong glanced at the wine glass, then looked solemn.

”I heard from Bei Puti that you have met my Luo Sect’s Right Envoy Nan Yiqi?”

It indeed was about this matter!

Luo Chen nodded calmly, ”I have crossed paths with him once, but at that time I didn’t know he was called Nan Yiqi; the fellows at the North Sea called him Nan Qi Old Ghost.”

”Nan Qi Old Ghost?” Meng Shentong’s mouth twitched, and then curiously asked, ”Where is he now, has he joined some major force?”

”I don’t know about that, I only know he was quite close with the Lie Tian Sect Master of Mo Luo Sect at that time.”

”Lie Tian Sect Master...”

Meng Shentong muttered this name, his expression becoming somewhat uncertain.

He hadn’t visited the North Sea for a long time, and the name was unfamiliar.

Seems like a new Nascent Soul expert from the past few hundreds of years.

However, the name Mo Luo Sect was somewhat familiar; it is said to be a united force similar to the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance, organized by remnants of the Demon Sect attempting to revive it.

According to intelligence gathered from the South Border, quite a few famous experts are rumored to be within it.

He recalled a person, perhaps he could inquire about Nan Yiqi’s whereabouts from them.

”Friend Qi, do you know Elder Minghuo?”

Luo Chen’s heart stirred; there was no doubt he knew this one!

Not only knew, but the two had once cooperated on a transaction.

Unexpectedly, Meng Shentong suddenly brought up this person.

”Are you referring to Minghuo Sect Master?”

”You can call him that; years ago, I had a decent relationship with this person. I don’t know whether he’s still alive now.”

Luo Chen shook his head, ”This Qi doesn’t know. The North Sea situation is more chaotic than the South Border. Amidst such chaos, even Nascent Soul experts might face unexpected events.”

”Is that so?” Meng Shentong seemed a little disappointed.

Luo Sect hasn’t had connections in the North Sea; his personal network is limited to a few people, most of whom have already passed due to old age.

If Elder Minghuo is also gone, it would be even harder to trace Nan Yiqi’s whereabouts.

Perhaps after this event, it would be worthwhile to go to the North Sea, capture the Lie Tian Sect Master who was friendly with Nan Yiqi, and interrogate him?

Luo Chen looked at the contemplative Meng Shentong and suddenly asked, ”Why do you care so much about Nan Qi Old Ghost, just a traitor to your sect?”

”Precisely because he is a traitor, he must be punished! Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he must pay the price!” Meng Shentong’s face flashed with a hint of ferocity, his tone full of resolve.

In the past, during the internal chaos of Luo Sect, the losses Nan Qi Old Ghost caused were unimaginable to outsiders.

Meng Shentong closed in the years that followed, not without reason due to the severe injuries he sustained in that fight.

Most importantly, Nan Qi Old Ghost took the most important inheritance Gu insect of Luo Sect with him!

He took a deep breath and regained his composure, looking at Luo Chen.

”If friend encounters him again, maybe let me know, and I will certainly reward you generously!”

As he spoke, he took out a dormant letter poison.

Luo Chen looked at the letter poison but did not reach out to receive it.

Meng Shentong’s hand paused in mid-air.

He furrowed his brows, suddenly switching the topic.

”Why did friend join this operation?”

”Invited by Master Li Tian.”

”It seems we are alike then; more or less influenced by Master Li Tian’s favors, or through transactions. However!” Meng Shentong’s tone changed, and through Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission, he said, ”Be cautious of Master Li Tian; his thoughts are crafty, beneath his kindly appearance lies cunning calculations.”
