Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

He is now the master of the Transmitting Truth Hall of Cangwu Mountain and can mobilize a large number of top-tier Demon Clan experts.

If he could also gain the assistance of top-tier beings from the Eastern Wasteland Human Clan, then even against the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, they would have the power to fight.

Currently, Deng Taiyue can’t be considered the top-tier existence.

But if he truly refines the Ti Hu Pill for him, with Deng Taiyue’s comprehension, he will surely surpass the Middle Stage Nascent Soul and become a Late Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

This kind of combat power cannot be missed.

After a moment, Deng Taiyue let out a bitter laugh.

”Luo Chen, why do you need to be so honest? I promised to help you long ago, and you could have demanded my assistance after refining the Ti Hu Pill. Being so straightforward now puts me in a difficult position.”

Luo Chen smiled but said nothing.

A forced demand wouldn’t earn true and sincere help.

If the time comes and someone puts forth no effort, it would place him in danger.

Instead, by declaring the danger now, it allows the other party to prepare for any contingencies after careful consideration.

He silently watched the indistinct moon in the night sky, pondering when he could stand candidly on the ground, admiring a truly bright moon.

The night wind blew gently, and finally, Deng Taiyue made his decision.

”I will take action!”

”If Friend gives me the Ti Hu Pill, once I comprehend the Law’s True Intent, I will surely aid you once with all my strength. If I break this oath, may Heavenly Thunder strike down, Heart Demons disturb me, and I shall not traverse the Great Dao!”

Although there are conditions, an Oath of Dao has been made.

Such sincerity is indeed praiseworthy!

Luo Chen let out a long breath of turbid air, turned around, and warmly held the other’s hands:

”Since that’s the case, perhaps you could do two little things for me now!”

Deng Taiyue was taken aback, then couldn’t help but smile bitterly: ”Luo Chen, you really know how to take advantage, you’re never satisfied!”

Luo Chen laughed heartily, ”We are allies now, after all, it’s only right to lend each other a hand.”

Deng Taiyue smiled bitterly and shook his head, yet he didn’t refuse.

...

The next day, after leaving all the medicinal herbs he had collected over the years, Deng Taiyue left the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

Upon leaving, he took with him all the Nascent Soul Formation Pills Luo Tian Sect had treasured over the years!

There were ten in total, most of them personally refined by Luo Chen in his early years, and a smaller portion was collected by Luo Tian Sect from the ruins of the nearby Dark Abyss Sect.

Perhaps their effectiveness varies, but all are excellent elixirs for helping form the Nascent Soul.

Next, he will use these Nascent Soul Formation Pills as a gimmick to hold a large auction in the Eastern Wasteland, and simultaneously gather as much Sky Qi for Luo Chen as possible.

These are the two tasks Luo Chen assigned to him.

And Luo Chen was not idle; that very day, he summoned all the cultivators of Luo Tian Sect one after another at Elixir Mountain.

The first person he summoned surprised many; it was Sang Jinghe, who followed Luo Chen from the North Sea to the Eastern Wasteland!

Luo Chen handed over all the Source Blood of the Golden Dragon Lion collected from the Yin Yang Residual Realm to him.

His sole purpose was to have Sang Jinghe verify an old hypothesis—to cultivate that Demonheart Tree with Wild Beast Source Blood.

If it can bear real fruit, it might allow Luo Chen’s Body Refinement Stage to see explosive advancement in a short period.

Provided that the old Tai Sui didn’t deceive him back then.

The second person was Bai Meiling.

Luo Chen handed over the empty Soul-Refining Flag to her.

The original souls within were all transferred by Luo Chen to another Soul Nurturing Banner.

The instruction Luo Chen gave Bai Meiling was to take the Soul-Refining Flag, ride the Xuan Turtle, and clear out the Nether Abyss.

She was to collect all the ghost creatures below the Fourth Order Ghost Emperor she encountered.

The more, the better; if she could collect up to a million, that would be ideal.

The Soul-Refining Flag from the Yuan Mo Sect has a complete advancement route.

From the ordinary Ten Thousand Soul Banner, to the Hundred Thousand Souls Banner, and even to the Million Soul-Consuming Banner.

These correspond respectively to the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transformation.

It is rumored that above the Evil Soul Banner, there exists a Soul Banner and Honored Soul Banner that correspond to the Integration Realm of Refining Void.

But clearly, within this Mountain Sea Realm, such existences are impossible.

Unless Luo Chen captures the Refining Void Stage Great Desolate on Soulbreak Cliff.

”Your soul body can freely move in the Nether Abyss. With the Xuan Turtle’s assistance, you can come and go freely. Leave with Deng Taiyue, and when returning, bring back the two Friends I’ve left outside.”

Bai Meiling did not refuse and immediately obeyed, leaving with Deng Taiyue.

Then it was the third person’s turn whom Luo Chen summoned—Li Yingzhang.

For him, Luo Chen’s only requirement was:

Sparing no expense, no matter the resources, enhance the strength of Luo Tian Sect cultivators.

If there are any needs in terms of elixirs, bring them up as soon as possible, and he will refine them entirely before entering closed-door cultivation.

Li Yingzhang was no fool and realized that under such tense circumstances, something major might happen.

But since Luo Chen didn’t explain, he didn’t ask.

Just before leaving, Li Yingzhang curiously asked, ”Where is Black King? With his help in enhancing the Spirit Qi of the Spirit Land, it could be twice as effective with half the effort!”

In response, Luo Chen simply waved his hand, saying Black King would not return for the time being.

After Li Yingzhang left, the Dan Dust Hall in Elixir Mountain fell into a brief silence.

”Black King?”

Luo Chen tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair, a puzzled expression crossing his face.

To his perception, Black King was not dead.

But he was far too distant, even without a specific direction.

”Where on earth did that fool run off to?”

Knowing Black King was not dead, Luo Chen did not waste effort to find him. The urgent matter was to comprehensively prepare for battle.

How to retrieve his fragmented Life Soul was something Luo Chen had roughly planned when leaving Cangwu Mountain.

If everything goes smoothly, they might not need to go to war with Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

But if it doesn’t go well, then they must prepare for battle with the former first overlord of the Mountain Sea Realm!

He hoped it wouldn’t come to that.

But if it must, Luo Chen wouldn’t mind clashing with the Liancheng Ancestor who had survived the battle at Soulbreak Cliff!

Steps sounded outside the hall, dense and numerous, over a hundred!

Soon, familiar faces appeared in Luo Chen’s line of sight.

”Disciple Qu Lingjun leads all Third Order and Second Order Pill Refiners of Tai Dan Court to pay respects to Master!”

Qu Lingjun immediately knelt, showing utmost respect.

Behind him, over a hundred cultivators knelt as well, their expressions not only respectful but filled with an undeniable fervent admiration.

”Greetings, Supreme Elder!”

Seeing this group of Tai Dan Court cultivators of Luo Tian Sect, a satisfied smile appeared on Luo Chen’s face.

Dean Qu Lingjun, a Third Order Pill Refiner!

Vice Dean Qi Yi, along with three elders from Tai Dan Court, all with Golden Core realm as Third Order Pill Refiners.

The rest, over a hundred disciples, were only at the Foundation Establishment realm, but their Pill Refinement skills had reached the Second Order Level.

This is the current foundation of Luo Tian Sect!

It can also be said to be the most outstanding institute among various organizations within Luo Tian Sect.

What they inherited is Luo Chen’s most proud Daoist Lineage of Pill Refinement.

Among them, Qu Lingjun and Qi Yi had been personally taught by him.

Perhaps compared to Qingdan Valley back then, they have one less Third Order Pill Refiner, but the pill refinement skills of these five Third Order Pill Refiners far surpass those elders of Qingdan Valley.

Moreover, the number of Second Order Pill Refiners far exceeds Qingdan Valley’s thirty-odd individuals.

With the assistance of this group of Pill Refiners, his efficiency in deducing the Ti Hu Pill would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

The incomplete Pill Formula for the Ti Hu Pill is already nearly complete.

With the precedents of Alchemy Saint Chu Yan and Mr. Xuan Yan,

he even vaguely felt that the Tianji Pill, given to him by Alchemy Saint Chu Yan, and the Ti Hu Pill were related at their root.

Next, he just needed the Pill Refiners of Tai Dan Court to help experiment with various medicinal attributes, proportions, and even levels of heat; through the method of elimination, he would find the most suitable Ti Hu Pill material combinations.

Then, by confirming with the Attribute Panel whether it could be refined,

he would achieve success naturally.

Overlooking the crowd, Luo Chen slowly spoke, ”You all know why I called you here, right?”

All hundred people in the hall were informed of the general situation by Qu Lingjun, hesitating not in the slightest.

”Disciples are willing to assist the Supreme Elder in Pill Refinement!”

Luo Chen laughed heartily, ”Good, then let’s begin!”

The Feather Robe Daoist rose, waving his hand, streams of radiance flew toward everyone.
