Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Once Wang Yuan locked onto the main body, defeat was only a matter of time.

”Junior Brother Ling Fengzi, stop holding back. If you continue testing, the enemy will flee,” Luo Chen said helplessly.

This guy had been known for his life-saving and escape tactics since the Human and Demon War, even his combat style always left ample room for retreat.

A distinct style of immediate retreat at the slightest hint of danger.

However, Luo Tian Sect had a great advantage now, with himself and Deng Taiyue, plus even a White Tiger Puppet in formation, using such tactics was purely a waste of Qi Power.

Ling Fengzi, engaged in a move-for-move contest with the enemy, heard this and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

”Looks like Senior Brother has seen through me.”

”Alright then!”

Ling Fengzi suddenly withdrew.

The enemy was stunned and then saw Ling Fengzi in the distance extending his left hand toward him.

A black hole appeared in the palm of his hand.

”Wind Cave, open!”

In the next instant, endless gusts of wind erupted from within.

Engulfing everything around, it surged toward the palm’s black hole.

Including the ever-transforming Ghost Emperor, who, facing this massive suction, was involuntarily sucked into the dark wind cave with screams.

In the distance.

Luo Chen saw this scene, and his brow couldn’t help but twitch.

Hidden Wind Acupoint!

He had refined a special Fourth Order Pill called the Wind Acupoint Pill for Ling Fengzi back then.

It did not enhance the cultivation level for the cultivator, merely allowing a new acupoint to open in the body.

Its name was Hidden Wind Acupoint.

This acupoint could accommodate Pure Wind and draw upon the Qi Power throughout the body, enhancing its power.

Luo Chen had judged at the time that opening this acupoint might elevate Ling Fengzi’s strength to the next level.

But later, it didn’t seem to significantly boost his combat ability, the only notable aspect was his escape technique becoming increasingly refined.

Even when a Great Demon Emperor Qi Xi chased Ling Fengzi, he managed to escape to Baili Qingchuan.

Now it seems that the Hidden Wind Acupoint wasn’t ineffective in combat.

At first, Ling Fengzi chose survival skills over combat enhancement to survive the Human and Demon War.

And now, as he breaks through to the Middle Stage Nascent Soul, he finally developed relevant combat means.

”It sweeps everything, extracting souls and refining spirits, just this move could threaten ordinary Nascent Soul Fifth Level, even Sixth Level cultivators.”

Luo Chen nodded slightly, but wasn’t particularly concerned.

This move was clever but had a fatal flaw.

Faced with him, just releasing a touch of Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire could leverage the wind’s force and burn the Hidden Wind Acupoint to ashes.

He turned and looked the other way, blurting out.

”Little White, I passed on the Soul Fusion Secret Technique to you, if not used now, then when?”

Even with Gu Caiyi and the others assisting with the array formation, Bai Meiling was still at a disadvantage.

Upon hearing this, she immediately changed her tactics.

With a shout of ”Fusion”, the Soul-Refining Banner was raised high, and endless ghost qi rushed toward Bai Meiling.

This was different from the Soul Fusion Secret Technique taught by Luo Chen.

Luo Chen used the technique to condense a powerful Ghost Emperor from the ghost qi and numerous ghost souls within the Soul-Refining Banner.

Whereas Bai Meiling used herself as the center to harness the infinite power.

In an instant, a giant Ghost Emperor half-squatted by the deep pool.

Her aura continuously surged from Early Fourth Order to Middle Stage, even advancing infinitely toward Late Stage.

”That’s enough!”

Luo Chen shouted a warning to Bai Meiling, who was now the main soul.

Despite the immense power of the countless ghost souls, it was chaotic.

The current Bai Meiling could no longer advance, or else she’d lose herself and transform into a mindless resentful soul ghost.

Though she couldn’t advance further, it was more than enough.

Bai Meiling let out a sharp scream, the massive ghost body slowly rose and smashed through the array formed by Gu Caiyi and the others, raising a large hand toward the enemy.

With Luo Chen’s strategic guidance, the three battlefields experienced dramatic changes in a short time.

Deng Taiyue, watching, twitching his eyelid furiously.

Amazed by Luo Chen’s extensive knowledge, adept at various combat tactics, and impressed by the strengths shown by the Nascent Soul experts of the Luo Tian Sect.

Especially!

Luo Chen’s enormous Divine Soul Endowment revealed across the three battlefields was probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Looking at Luo Chen’s focused profile, Deng Taiyue was deeply shaken.

”Those rumors were not exaggerated at all!”

And in the merging of Luo Chen’s strategic guidance and Deng Taiyue’s shock, the battle gradually drew to an end.

The Divine Gang sweeps across the four wildernesses.

The wind stops, the ghost clouds dissipate.

The gigantic Great Ghost Emperor stands on its two feet in the deep pool, emitting sharp screams, forcing the previously severed waterfall to roll back a thousand feet.

”Stop howling, stop howling, do you want to shake Caiyi and the others to death?”

Luo Chen spoke helplessly.

Bai Meiling giggled, and the enormous ghost body instantly dissipated, transforming into a pitch-black Soul-Refining Flag.

Once more, this banner absorbed a Fourth-Order Ghost Emperor into it, deepening its color further.

”Supreme Elder, here is a cave mansion with its array mostly broken!” Min Longyu exclaimed joyfully from afar.

Everyone rode the Glint and reached the middle of the waterfall.

There stood a simple and ancient grand door indeed.

Luo Chen looked at the cave mansion’s door and nodded slowly.

”Yanfu Mountain is the Holy Mountain of the Dark Abyss Sect. Usually, besides the Three Great Ancestors residing high in the Yanfu Heavenly Palace, many Nascent Soul True Masters cultivate here. This must be the cave mansion of a Nascent Soul True Master.”

”Back then, the Three Great Ancestors used the Ming Water Spring Eye to suppress and refine Qinghe Immortal and drove away most of the Nascent Soul True Masters from the mountain.”

”Therefore, not much good stuff is likely left inside.”

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood and felt an immense sense of regret.

Acquiring a Nascent Soul expert’s inheritance would indeed be a considerable help to today’s Luo Tian Sect.

Min Longyu looked at the broken guard array and lamented, ”So should we leave this place alone now?”

Luo Chen smiled, ”Our goal this trip is just the Ming Water Spring Eye. In the face of the Ming Water Spring Eye, all resources, treasures, and even the Dark Abyss’s inheritance pale in comparison. Of course, leaving it for others is not our way.”

As he conversed, he casually cast a series of Prohibitions onto the incomplete guard array.

In an instant, the Prohibitions merged into it, rapidly integrating and supplementing it.

Boom!

The severed waterfall poured down.

This signified the array was complete once again.

The group retreated in amazement, looking at Luo Chen.

”What swift Prohibition Technique!”

”In that moment, the Supreme Elder must have cast at least hundreds of Prohibitions!”

”Who would have thought that the Alchemy Sect has such profound knowledge in arrays!”

Glancing back at the waterfall, Luo Chen nodded.

”Let’s go. If we acquire the Ming Water Spring Eye, this Yanfu Mountain will belong to our Luo Tian Sect, and there will be plenty of opportunities to explore these cave mansions one by one in the future.”

Luo Chen waved his large hand, and the group mounted the White Tiger Puppet once again.

As for Xuan Turtle?

Before setting out, Luo Chen had already sent it back to the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land to reassure Li Yingzhang and the others.

Setting out again, the atmosphere on the back of the White Tiger was joyous.

To prevent the group from becoming arrogant, Luo Chen gave a slight reminder.

”These ghost cultivators, although they are quite old, have been suppressed for millennia, and their methods aren’t very sophisticated. Further, lacking suitable personal magical treasure true artifacts, their real strength is incomparable to Nascent Soul True Masters of the outside world.”

”With Master Taiyue and I providing support in the rear, they have been considerably deterred, allowing you to fight with much ease.”

”However, if you face orthodox Immortal Cultivators in the future, it will not be as easy.”

His words were quite stern, causing the group to slightly restrain themselves, and the previous joyful atmosphere eased a bit.

Along the mountain path, the winged White Tiger leapt and bounded upward at high speed.

Thanks to the path opened by many ghost cultivators, most of the Prohibition arrays have been destroyed over the past ten years, so the Luo Tian Sect group faced little obstruction.

Occasionally, some scattered ghost cultivators appeared, and Luo Chen ordered his sect disciples to frequently take action, either resolving or driving them away.

In the process, the combat methods of the nine Luo Tian Sect cultivators became increasingly practiced.

Yet, Deng Taiyue was somewhat puzzled.

Luo Chen exhausted the qi power of his sect disciples; how would they handle a real battle later on?

Would they rely solely on him and Luo Chen?

The White Tiger soared across the clouds, and a vast White Jade Square could faintly be seen suspended above.

Suddenly!

An ominous ghost claw emerged abruptly from the sky, reaching for the group.

It appeared without a trace and landed without a sound.

The Xuanhuang Seal swiftly appeared, blocking above.

Hiss!

Deng Taiyue frowned, retrieving his magic item, which bore five deep claw marks.

”It’s a Great Ghost Emperor comparable to the Late Stage Nascent Soul!”

Luo Chen calmly looked up and briefly locked eyes with a figure that had intruded into the White Jade Square.

”It’s also the one who disbanded my Fire Phoenix Burning Technique earlier!”
