Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

The original location of the Elixir Mountain was shrouded by a large lake spanning a hundred miles.

The lake’s surface was calm, without the slightest ripple, and the water was pitch black, as if it could swallow everything.

Ming Lake!

This is the name of this lake.

Originally, there was no Ming Lake in the Blessed Land; it was born nine years ago.

On that day, the entire Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land was shaking. A massive rift appeared in the sky’s limits, and a large amount of black water and golden flames poured in from the Outer World, with a momentum that almost destroyed the entire Blessed Land Space.

At that time, Luo Tian Sect Master Li Yingzhang urgently called all the sect disciples, all prepared to escape the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

But shortly after, the celestial phenomenon disappeared.

The rift in the sky naturally mended, all the terrifying golden flames vanished, and only a vast amount of black water remained, forming such an awe-inspiring lake.

It is said.

The celestial phenomenon nine years ago was caused by the Supreme Elder’s cultivation, and it was also resolved by the Supreme Elder personally.

But because of this, the Supreme Elder suffered a backlash and fell into a deep sleep due to serious injuries.

Ming Lake is the place where the Supreme Elder slumbers.

As for when he will awaken, the Luo Tian Sect disciples have no way of knowing.

But the entire sect has already classified Ming Lake as a Forbidden Area, sealing it completely and dispatching strong cultivators to patrol and guard day and night.

This guardianship is not just superficial, as can be seen from the personnel arrangements, reflecting the sect’s high level of attention to this matter.

A Nascent Soul Elder is stationed there, along with five Golden Core cultivators, and a large number of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators constantly roam the Outer World, preventing anyone from approaching.

The duration of the patrol guardianship is tentatively set to change every ten years.

The first round was undertaken voluntarily by Cang Long Fairy from Tianshan Peak, who took on this matter.

In her words, she had just stabilized her realm recently, and merely advancing through cultivation at the First Layer of Nascent Soul would bring little improvement. Furthermore, she hadn’t contributed much to Luo Tian Sect, so this guardianship over Luo Chen could serve as a small effort on her part.

Under the night sky.

Cang Long stood silently by the lakeside, her gaze complex as she looked at the lake’s surface, her thoughts unknown.

Behind her, soft footsteps approached, and without turning her head, Cang Long asked, ”Have all the checks been completed?”

Jueqing Fairy hummed in acknowledgment, ”There are no issues with the arrays in each area; no one can break in. Actually, being in the Blessed Land with the entire Luo Tian Sect protecting it, who could possibly break in?”

Cang Long calmly replied, ”It’s always best to be prepared for any eventuality.”

Jueqing Fairy walked up beside her, curiously observing Cang Long’s gentle side profile, ”Senior Sister, are you very worried about him?”

”How could I not worry? He is the founder of Luo Tian Sect and a spiritual symbol. It’s precisely because he is here that everything can be unified. If anything were to happen to him, today’s Luo Tian Sect would inevitably fall apart!”

”Such an exaggeration?”

”Not to mention other things, just the lineage of Piaomiao Peak; with Ling Fengzi’s breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, his arrogance has increased significantly. If not for Luo Chen’s reputation suppressing it, do you think Ling Fengzi wouldn’t want to separate from Luo Tian Sect and rebuild Piaomiao Sect?”

Jueqing Fairy nodded thoughtfully, but soon realized, ”Senior Sister, I’m not talking about his importance to Luo Tian Sect, I mean, are you worried about him as a person?”

As she spoke, Jueqing Fairy’s gaze was fierce, watching Cang Long closely, not willing to miss any details.

Cang Long furrowed her brows, ”What do you mean by that?”

Jueqing Fairy hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, ”In the years before he returned, there were rumors within the sect about your relationship with him.”

”What relationship?” Cang Long inquired instinctively.

Jueqing Fairy explained helplessly, ”What other relationship, the disciples below are saying you might become his third Dao Companion Cultivator.”

”Oh, that...” Cang Long chuckled lightly.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Jueqing Fairy said with some frustration, ”Senior Sister, that’s your reputation at stake, how can you let people talk so freely? You didn’t stop the spread of rumors before, but now that he’s back, how can you watch these rumors rise again without doing anything?”

To this, Cang Long did not answer.

She just stood quietly by the pitch-black lakeside, her skin almost translucent under the moonlight, resembling a Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Jueqing Fairy had been waiting for an answer, but the Senior Sister was slow to respond.

Gradually, she showed an expression of disbelief.

”Senior Sister, you wouldn’t...”

”Junior Sister, do you know what I was thinking at the moment nine years ago before Luo Chen’s Divine Soul’s breath disappeared?”

Before Jueqing Fairy could finish her sentence, Cang Long interrupted.

She pressed down her inner shock and curiously asked, ”Worried that Luo Tian Sect would fall apart?”

Such concerns were not surprising.

Because Cang Long had said as much earlier.

However, Cang Long shook her head and softly said, ”Those are analyses I made after calming down. At the time, I only had one thought: Regret!”

”Regret?” Jueqing Fairy didn’t understand, ”Regret what?”

Cang Long naturally replied, ”Regret not having repaid my debt. Luo Chen continued the Ice Castle heritage, saved me, and moreover helped me break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in one go. If I hadn’t had the chance to do anything before he fell, I would regret it for a lifetime.”

Jueqing Fairy urgently said, ”But that’s no reason to commit your life!”

Cang Long countered, ”For someone like him now, do you think such a debt is repayable with anything I could offer? My Seven-orifice Exquisite Body might hold some benefit to him.”

Jueqing Fairy opened her mouth, but all her thoughts turned futile when reaching her lips.

After all, this is the Alchemy Sect that rose from a sea of corpses and blood; it is the Demon Slayer True Master who battled the Three Great Demon Emperors without falling, and it is the Supreme Luo Tian who single-handedly suppressed dozens of Netherworld Ghost Emperors!
