Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Is this the Zombie Poison Gu?”

Before a field of scattered bones, Luo Chen slowly stood up.

Staring at the Gu insect in his hand, he showed a look of surprise.

This kind of Underworld is almost indistinguishable from the rumored Land of Netherworld.

A large number of cultivators and demon beasts unjustly perished here, with their grievances left unvented, gradually forming an Extremely Yin Land.

Hence, after thousands of years, these creatures naturally turned into all kinds of ghostly zombies.

All along his journey, Luo Chen saw countless white corpses and black corpses.

He did not expect that even Fur Corpses comparable to Golden Core Cultivators would exist here.

Fur Corpse, through hundreds of years of cultivation and sedimentation, its decayed physical body transforms into a resilient fur, with bones becoming as hard as iron.

They move agilely, their speed is incredibly fast, their defense remarkable, unafraid of cultivators’ True Fire, even in the Immortal Cultivation World, they are a dreaded presence.

Of course, before someone like Luo Chen, who could be considered supreme in the Human World, naturally they are negligible, easily destroyable with a flip of the hand.

What surprised Luo Chen was that these zombies had Zombie Poison Gu residing on them.

Zombies and ghost creatures from other Great Continents do not have such existences.

”Is this also a method of Yin Yang Zi before his demise?”

From Golden Lion Second Ancestor Kuang Nanzhi, Luo Chen received some basic information about this realm.

He understood how unwilling and mad Yin Yang Zi was before he passed.

He implanted various Gu insects into the bodies of living cultivators and demon beasts, using living beings to nurture Gu, and even reversed the process by putting live Gu on dead objects, attempting to reverse the state of life and death.

Henceforth, within this Netherworld Mountain, many strange creatures were left behind.

Fur Corpse is just one of the most insignificant among them.

”As long as I don’t encounter the Flying Yaksha, it’s fine.”

Luo Chen muttered a sentence, casually collecting the Zombie Poison Gu into his storage ring.

This is a good thing, once it’s devoured and refined by the Hundred Poison King Gu, it will release a large amount of zombie poison that tempers the physical body.

Being the most powerful among the flying zombies, the Flying Yaksha naturally has the potential to develop more potent Zombie Poison Gu, but such existences are not easy to deal with.

Luo Chen did not intend to provoke them, therefore, he deliberately avoided places that emitted strong breath.

Following the traces left by Master Li Tian’s group, he altered his breath, relentlessly pursuing.

Even when encountering unexpected situations, he swiftly dealt with them with quick precision.

The distance between them was continuously closing.

...

”Qi... Luo Chen has caught up.”

With an unnatural expression, Purple Robe Marquis spoke.

The group froze, seemingly in disbelief.

Only Master Li Tian seemed unsurprised.

”That character of settling scores and grievances, truly suits him.” Master Li Tian muttered, recalling the intelligence about the annihilation of the top Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, Five Elements Divine Sect, in the Eastern Wasteland.

Then, he looked at Hong Ye Granny.

The latter nodded slightly, ”I’ve left a big and small array that can trap and slaughter him without affecting our subsequent plans.”

”Slaughter?” Master Li Tian shook his head, not too confident in that, but as long as they could trap him, it was enough.

With his eyes looking far ahead, faintly a sinister palace appeared in his vision.

”The Yin Yang Tomb is almost here, Hong Ye, I’ll entrust the rest to you.”

Hong Ye Granny’s eyes lit up, her wrinkled face almost stretching apart.

”Leave the tomb’s array to me, but if there truly is the Ten Thousand Array Gu, that Gu must be divided as promised!”

Master Li Tian nodded, ”Everything outside the tomb, I won’t take any, each to their own ability!”

As he spoke, he took out several jade boxes from his storage ring.

”Purple Robe Marquis, here’s the promised Blood Transformation Gu!”

With anticipation, Purple Robe Marquis accepted it, with this Gu, even without obtaining the Yuan Mo Sect’s Xue Hai Lineage’s authentic cultivation technique, he might still learn the Blood Transformation Technique.

Beside his ear, Master Li Tian’s advisory voice reached him.

”If Luo Chen storms in, I hope you can hinder him for a moment or two.”

Purple Robe Marquis hesitated briefly, but then, looking at the jade box he held, nodded heavily.

”I shall not fail you!”

The others also received similar rewards.

This expedition to the Yin Yang Residual Realm is unlike a normal secret realm exploration, it’s a team assembled by Master Li Tian using his personal network.

For this trip, he has prepared a lot and sacrificed considerably.

Now is merely the matter of handing out rewards face-to-face.

Conversely, were it not for needing Luo Chen to exert significant effort in breaking the door, the Hundred Poison King Gu wouldn’t have been handed over so early.

Once everything was ready, Master Li Tian and Hong Ye Granny entered the sinister and illusory palace complex together.

Outside, only four people remained.

They exchanged glances and each found a position to guard.

...

”Is this Hong Ye Granny’s backup plan?”

In a valley where spirit light flickered, Luo Chen found himself amid it, his face showing realization.

The array here was distinctly different from other damaged arrays in the Netherworld Mountain.

Those arrays were more about confining Yin Yang Zi’s initial research subjects than obstructing external enemies, much like prisons.

But as years passed, those arrays gradually became damaged, and the research subjects broke free, becoming the present-day ghostly creatures everywhere.

Yet the array here was extraordinarily complete, with a strong intention to kill.

Facing countless knife and sword gleams, Luo Chen looked without fear.

His eyes flashed golden light, stepping Moon Step, his figure blurred momentarily, suddenly appearing at a spot, pointing with two fingers.

”Break!”

The sound of cracking suddenly echoed.

Thousands of knife and sword gleams fell like rain, the true landscape reappearing in front of him.
