Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Buzz!

An unusual sound suddenly echoed.

Then came a mesmerizing glow of five colors, mist rising.

The soft and handsome young man seemed to transform into a full moon, reflecting in the heart of the beautiful woman, infinite illusions arising endlessly.

In just a moment, Seventh Aunt sank into the illusion technique, powerless to resist!

This was Zhou Fuqiu’s first time using the Illusion Technique Mirror Flower, Water Moon, though he felt he had mastered it thoroughly, he was still afraid of unexpected problems, hence he immediately inquired about the past.

”Fourteen years ago, what was the matter with that tonic?”

Seventh Aunt, in a trance, unconsciously replied: ”Its name is Strengthening God Awakening Soup, but in fact, it adds an herb called Ghost Pulling Seedlings. After multiple administrations, the taker would only feel physically strong and the divine soul abundant, but Ghost Pulling Seedlings gradually take effect, harming the taker’s divine soul endowment, affecting future cultivation.”

Ghost Pulling Seedlings!

The moment he heard the name of this herb, Zhou Fuqiu’s expression changed.

He had once read in a Dao Scripture about this herb, it is absolutely not something normal people could ingest.

The described use of Ghost Pulling Seedlings is mostly for refining elixirs that can temporarily spark human potential, invigorate the spirit. In moments of life and death crises, when faced with unbeatable enemies, taking elixirs made from Ghost Pulling Seedlings would multiply one’s power immensely.

This herb, even regular cultivators wouldn’t consume it, let alone young Zhou Fuqiu at the age of six!

Zhou Fuqiu was enraged, his tone icy cold: ”Why?”

Seventh Aunt did not answer as the question lacked specificity.

Zhou Fuqiu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, slowly asking: ”Our two families have always been well-connected, not to mention I had a good relationship with your son, just the bond between my father and Seventh Uncle fighting life and death should have been enough not to harm me like this, why do this?”

Seventh Aunt with scattered eyes muttered: ”Because you were too outstanding, showing extraordinary wisdom at a young age, and once you can cultivate in the future, you will definitely achieve great things.”

”Just because of this?” Zhou Fuqiu was incredulous.

Seventh Aunt continued: ”Also because your father was quite capable, earning attention from the Family Head, and the alliance was prioritized. Your mother, after all, is from Qingtong Lin Family’s main line!”

Zhou Fuqiu doubted, ”What if my father had the ability? Our families are allied, the stronger he is, the more the clan benefits. Do you mean you would be jealous of him?”

Seventh Aunt murmured, ”Jealousy is there, but not enough to make us act against him, it was requested from my maternal family.”

”Act against him?” Zhou Fuqiu was confused, then as if he realized something, his expression completely changed.

Seventh Aunt bewilderedly nodded, ”Yes, during the sea patrol mission, your parents didn’t die naturally, but were lured by Hai Ye into a doomed situation, resulting in no remains.”

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

Strands of Spirit Power shot out from Zhou Fuqiu’s body, striking the surrounding marsh, splashing countless mud.

His face was filled with killing intent.

Little did he expect, even his parents’ death had such hidden depths.

At this moment, he was unable to resist the urge to kill the woman standing before him whose face was like a peach blossom but whose heart was venomous like a viper.

But he forcibly suppressed it, only the tone of his voice grew colder.

”Why does Yin Family target my parents this way?”

”Because Zhou Yunshen’s end is near.”

”The Ancestor?!”

Zhou Fuqiu blurted out, his heart wavering under successive shocks.

Even the High-level Illusion Technique Mirror Flower, Water Moon he cast started showing faint signs of instability.

Seventh Aunt’s face showed a struggle, yet under the suppression of the Illusion Realm, she was forced to answer each of her nephew’s questions.

”Everyone knows, Zhou Yunshen has little time left, ready to leave at any moment. But the Zhou Family holds the best Fourth Order Spirit Land within a ten-thousand-mile radius, namely Bailu Marsh. Once Zhou Yunshen passes, the Zhou Family without a Nascent Soul True Master will surely not be able to guard this place. Therefore, allies Qingtong Lin Family and my Cold River Valley Yin Family have always been moved secretly.”

”Your father has too much capability, possibly succeeding as Family Head or Elder in the future, at that time, due to your mother’s connection, the benefits would favor Qingtong Lin Family.”

”Therefore, my Yin Family would not allow your father’s existence, giving you the drug was just a convenience.”

”Moreover, secretly supplying Hai Ye with abundant resources, aiding his forced Core Formation, seizing a high position in Zhou Family.”

”Once the Zhou Family Ancestor passes, Hai Ye would collaborate with my Cold River Valley Yin Family, supporting internally and externally, taking over Bailu Marsh’s cultivation treasure.”

So, everything was for profit?

Zhou Fuqiu’s face was sorrowful, parents’ murder, sister’s injury, all merely Cold River Valley Yin Family coveting the Zhou Family’s location at Bailu Marsh.

Presumably, dealing with him was also just a move to strike at his father’s prestige from back then.

With a hint of anger, he posed a somewhat angry question.

”Isn’t Seventh Uncle a Zhou Family person, how can he betray us?”

Seventh Aunt naturally replied: ”He wasn’t valued in the clan, coupled with after the Ancestor passes, the Zhou Family will fall. In such a context, my Yin Family extended an olive branch, aiding his Core Formation, aiding his power acquisition, helping our son Zhou Yuqi attend Tian Nan Dao Palace as an observer, hence even if Zhou Family collapses, he still has a place. Hai Ye’s decision is the wisest.”

Zhou Fuqiu still refused to accept: ”Even if the Ancestor passes, Zhou Family still has Great Elder Zhou Cang challenging Nascent Soul Stage, five or six Golden Core Ascendant Masters, dozens of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, could Yin Family from Cold River Valley really swallow such a large Bailu Marsh!”
