Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Some vanished into the void, some sank into the ground.

Upon closer inspection, they were clearly special gu insects.

”Soul-Chasing Flying Ants?” Meng Shentong blurted out, then immediately frowned, ”No, Soul-Chasing Flying Ants are rather eerie; they don’t possess such vitality.”

Master Li Tian waved his hand, ”Don’t worry about that. I need to focus on the intelligence these gu insects transmit back, to locate our target.”

Meng Shentong chuckled, not pressing further.

The room fell silent for a moment, with only Hong Ye Granny busy at the door, setting up an array to prevent outside cultivators from barging in.

Luo Chen glanced over a couple of times but didn’t pay much attention.

Hong Ye Granny’s array prowess was indeed not bad, perhaps on par with his own.

However, because she integrated some gu insects into the array, he couldn’t glean much from it, so Luo Chen didn’t bother to pay extra attention.

He shifted his focus to this Yin Yang Residual Realm itself.

As far as the eye could see, it was golden and dazzling!

The entire world seemed shrouded in a layer of gilded light.

Majestic lion statues stood on the vast land, as if alive.

”These lions...”

Memories swirled in Luo Chen’s mind as he searched for the corresponding recollection.

There was a record in an ancient tome introducing the Ancient Desolate.

Golden Dragon Lions!

Strictly speaking, they are not formidable savage beasts.

But their lineage is quite noble, a product of the Netherworld Drilling Earth Dragon and Zhengning Lion merging.

They possess extremely strong physical defense capabilities and a unique ability to turn enemies to gold.

Especially the latter; once hit, one would fall into a state similar to petrification, known as gilding.

If not timely rescued from this state, once broken, death follows.

Even Golden Core Nascent Soul cultivators cannot escape demise.

”Why are there so many Golden Dragon Lion statues in this Yin Yang realm?”

Luo Chen frowned, faintly sensing a threat.

It was as if those lifelike golden lion statues were indeed alive, coldly observing their group.

He shifted his gaze, looking a hundred miles away towards that battlefield.

The Hidden Sword Tower Master, Fan Wujiao’s speed was astonishingly fast, having caught up with the Golden Lion Empire ancestor who had shown himself moments before.

Using sword light formed by sword gu, he trapped that ancestor.

Upon close examination, those sword gu were actually in the shape of leaves.

This surprised Luo Chen.

Southern Border Sword Cultivators are truly different from those elsewhere!

The Tianshan True Master once used Sword Fish Gu as sword gu.

Unexpectedly, Fan Wujiao used Sword Leaf Gu.

Individually, it couldn’t match the power of Sword Fish Gu, but the sheer quantity...

Amidst the overwhelming sword light, the Golden Lion Empire’s Nascent Soul cultivator flew into a rage.

”I am one of the Golden Lion Four Ancestors, a disciple under the Youli Divine Monarch of the Gate of Life and Death, do you dare to kill me?”

”Why wouldn’t I dare?”

With a furious shout, amidst the thousands of sword lights, a flash of purple streaked by.

The Purple Robe Marquis’s Liuguang flashed, wrapping a streak of purple light around the Golden Lion Ancestor before pulling back.

With a slash!

The head fell off just like that.

An astonished Nascent Soul emerged from the body, but before it could react, it was engulfed by the surging sword lights.

Swish! Swish!

The myriad of sword lights flew back into the sword box, and the Hidden Sword Tower Master cast his gaze on the Purple Robe Marquis, whose hand held a soft sword that trembled like a Spiritual Snake flicking its tongue.

”What a fine Purple Blood Soft Sword!”

The Purple Robe Marquis chuckled, ”Not as good as your Thousand Leaf Sword Box, my friend.”

Luo Chen, watching from afar, couldn’t help but nod to himself.

Whether it was the Thousand Leaf Sword Box filled with hidden sword leaves or that Purple Blood Soft Sword, both were rare treasures.

With the two joining forces, that Golden Lion Ancestor of only Early Nascent Soul Stage was predictably obliterated in a single encounter.

Suddenly!

Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed.

Beside him, Master Li Tian alerted with a high-pitched shout, ”Watch out!”

A terrifying golden light shot out from a distant palace, aimed directly at the two of them.

Accompanying it was an angry shout.

”You dare intrude into my Yin Yang realm and kill my fourth brother. You deserve to die!”
