Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”In a hurry, being able to set up such a fourth-order formation, Hong Ye’s array attainment is indeed remarkable. However, it’s still far from being able to trap me.”

...

In the palace complex, the busy Hong Ye Granny suddenly paused her hand.

Master Li Tian, seeing this, frowned and said, ”What’s wrong?”

Hong Ye Granny exhaled a breath of turbid Qi, ”It’s nothing, just that one more of my five arrays has been broken, and it’s the Sword and Halberd Formation, known for its lethal power.”

Master Li Tian was stunned.

Another one broken?

”Counting it, this is the fourth one, right!”

Hong Ye Granny nodded, ”Indeed, it’s the fourth. I didn’t expect Luo Chen’s formation attainment to be so outstanding, completely on par with mine. The formations hurriedly set up have too many flaws... I underestimated him.”

Indeed, underestimated.

But who would have thought that Luo Chen, unmatched in body refinement, distinguished in Daoist law, and also known as an Alchemy Concoction Grandmaster, would have such attainment in the path of array?

Hong Ye Granny took a deep breath, ”But no matter, the fifth array is absolutely not so easily broken. If he doesn’t break it, he can’t get through, and if he breaks it, he still can’t get through!”

Master Li Tian frowned, ”That formation you spent half a day previously to specially set up?”

Hong Ye Granny smiled with satisfaction, ”That Spirit Trapping Array wasn’t originally set for him, but if he wants to rush in, just leave it there!”

Having said that, she no longer concerned herself with the matters behind, focusing intently on testing the reaction of the array before her.

Master Li Tian subconsciously glanced back, and his heart settled.

If Luo Chen is trapped in there, that would be best.

After retrieving items from the Yin Yang Tomb, then take some time to deal with the opponent!

...

In the vast mire, there’s nowhere to step.

A figure, like a Flying Swallow, moves back and forth.

But after a long time, returned to the original place again.

Luo Chen frowned deeply, a pair of red eyes with golden pupils scanning around, trying to discern the flaws of this array.

But all he sees are flaws!

”This array, truly gives no leverage for action!”

Generally, arrays have one or two pivotal points; breaking them would affect the natural operation of the big formation, allowing the trapped to escape naturally.

But too many flaws become a major obstacle for the breaker.

”Is it an illusion or deliberate?”

Luo Chen hesitated a bit.

Once acted upon, it could easily trigger a chain reaction.

If he inadvertently triggers a seemingly flawed point that’s actually a trap, he’ll be in trouble.

”Must test a bit, but cannot test it personally!”

Thinking thus, Luo Chen’s heart moved.

A black light emerged from his left arm, gradually winding around his left shoulder.

Black King, seeing this, looked dejected.

But under Luo Chen’s pressing eyes, he had no choice but to act.

”Don’t worry, I’ll protect you at the crucial moment.”

How could Black King rest at ease, but at this point, he had no choice but to brace himself.

Gritting his teeth, he followed Luo Chen’s thought and lunged towards the mire.

Boom!

With a collision, mud soared into the sky, a water column rose up from the ground.

Under the wash of the water column, the previously dim sky suddenly brightened.

Luo Chen was startled, ”The array is broken?”

Black King rolled in the marsh, feeling frustrated, ”Master, you were overthinking, just break the formation directly, wouldn’t that do?”

Luo Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

He didn’t expect the array left by Granny Hongye was designed just for smart people, a ’Doubtful Array’.

In such an array, the more you think, the more you get tied up.

Like Black King forcibly...

”No!”

Luo Chen seemed to realize something, his face changed suddenly, and he reached out to grab Black King.

Black King remained ignorant, but the next moment, a large expanse of black fog suddenly rose from the swamp beneath him.

The black fog formed into ghostly hands, reaching for Black King.

”Oh my god!”

Black King screamed in terror, twisting his body to dodge, yet was still entangled by the ghostly hands.

At this moment, Luo Chen’s Cloud Probing Divine Claw pierced through the fog.

It grasped Black King, pulling him out forcefully.

”Out!”

Under the impetus of tremendous force, Black King cried out in pain, being dragged out bodily.

In the swamp, the excessive fog lost its target, seeming somewhat exasperated.

”Swoosh...”

A huge breathing sound arose, and the overwhelming black fog suddenly recoiled.

In the depths of the mire, a creature slowly opened its eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the wings on his back lifted him into the air, and his unfeeling black eyes locked onto the man opposite.

”Hiss, it’s a zombie!” Black King exclaimed, still hissing in pain from the claw marks on his body.

Staring at the creature in front of him, with wings spread wide and a shadow almost covering the land, Luo Chen felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

This was not as simple as an ordinary zombie.

With wings on its back, ghostly fog swirling around, and karmic fire blazing.

This was the most powerful existence among the flying zombies, the Flying Yaksha!

In terms of realm, it was comparable to a Late Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator of the Human Clan.

Especially that physical body, possessing extremely strong spiritual defense, practically invulnerable to all techniques!

Indeed, the backup plan set up by Hong Ye Granny was not that simple.

She had cleverly laid a doubtful array, consuming his time and energy, while secretly setting up a summoning spirit array.

By breaking this doubtful array, it would inevitably awaken the Flying Yaksha slumbering deep underground.

Once this peerless fierce creature emerged, the malice and wrath it would unleash on someone was self-evident.

”Human...” The Flying Yaksha stared at Luo Chen, uttering two words with difficulty.

Luo Chen, whose face was originally sullen, suddenly smiled.

”Hong Ye, if you think just one Flying Yaksha can trap me, then you’re thinking too simply.”

Without any visible action, Luo Chen’s robe fluttered in the absence of wind.

A wisp of golden light slowly appeared behind him.

”Screech!”

A resonant cry echoed at once.

A Fire Phoenix soared up.

It was not a technique, but the transformation of the Nirvana Sacred Fire!

As soon as this fire emerged, the malicious face of the Flying Yaksha visibly showed a hint of cowardice.

Without saying or doing anything else, it unhesitatingly plummeted to the ground, disappearing into the vast Netherworld Mountain.

With flying sky and ground escape, invulnerable to all techniques, it indeed was a top-grade Flying Yaksha among the flying zombies!

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

He put away the Nirvana Sacred Fire.

Black King expressed some regret, ”That guy just wanted to eat me, and master you didn’t even teach it a lesson?”

Luo Chen shot him a glance, making Black King instinctively shrink back.

Luo Chen waved a hand dismissively, ”This thing doesn’t pose much threat to me, but thoroughly resolving it would be quite laborious. At the moment, I’m not in the mood to tangle with it.”

The strength of the Flying Yaksha lay in its immunity to techniques and the magic item-resistant physical body.

For an ordinary Great Cultivator, it would indeed be a troublesome opponent, even beyond their reach.

But for Luo Chen, whose body refinement stage was already strong, it was merely a hand-to-hand combat battle.

But doing so would take too long.

Therefore, why not use the Nirvana Sacred Fire that restrains ghostly fog to intimidate it into retreat, simplifying matters?

”On the old grounds of Mingyuan, with the sacred fire suppressing the sea, no ghosts could emerge, indicating that the Nirvana Sacred Fire has a restraining effect in this regard. Now, conducting the experiment, this indeed is the case,” Luo Chen mused.

His eyes drifted into the distance.

”Master Li Tian, how many more tricks do you have to stop me?”

...

Outside the Yin Yang Tomb.

Two figures stood together, whispering about something.

After a while, they flew nearby.

Bai Xuanjun sat cross-legged on a blue stone; noticing the approach of Purple Robe Marquis and the Hidden Sword Tower Master, he slightly raised his eyelids.

Purple Robe Marquis did not wish to deal with this person; those from the White Bone Sect were quite extreme, and it was best not to provoke them when possible.

He simply walked over to Friend Meng Shentong.

Yet before he got close, a bone spike suddenly protruded from the ground.

”What’s the meaning of this?” Purple Robe Marquis frowned, ”I have something to discuss with Friend Meng, it’s none of your concern!”

Bai Xuanjun replied coldly, ”Friend Meng is recovering Qi power, do not disturb.”

Purple Robe Marquis was taken aback, ”Along the way, Meng Shentong didn’t exert much effort, why does he need to recover Qi power?”

Next to him, the Hidden Sword Tower Master suddenly flicked his hand, releasing a wisp of sword qi.

Poof!

Meng Shentong, who was meditating, shattered like an illusion.

Upon seeing this, Purple Robe Marquis’s expression slightly changed.

”Where is Meng Shentong?”

Under his interrogation, Bai Xuanjun slowly stood up.

A bone sword suddenly appeared from his hand.

Purple Robe Marquis tensed like facing a great enemy, his whole body trembling with purple light, ”What are you up to?”

Bai Xuanjun paid him no mind and simply raised his eyes towards the direction from which they came.

”Instead of being curious about Meng Shentong’s whereabouts, you two should think about how to deal with that one from the Eastern Wasteland!”

The winds gathered, ghost qi dissipated.

A black figure abruptly appeared.

Standing high above, surveying the three below with a calm expression.

”Are you going to stop me?”
