Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Immediately, without waiting for Luo Chen’s reaction, he casually thrust forward.

The fishing rod in his hand suddenly appeared right in front of Luo Chen.

The speed was so fast that it was impossible for anyone to react.

Neither the Black King nor Little White, who was attached to Luo Chen, had moved on from Li Canghai’s previous praise of their master.

This thrust of the fishing rod seemed to contain the great momentum of the heavens and the earth, the ultimate truth of the world.

With just the residual power of the thrust, it forcibly expelled the attached Little White.

On the boundless ice surface, the young man’s expression shifted slightly, as if he would be pierced by that fishing rod in the next moment.

In the left sleeve of his robe, a powerful force was eager to burst forth.

But Luo Chen suppressed that urge.

At this moment, he had already condensed his Primordial Spirit, allowing his Divine Perception to circulate extremely quickly.

With a thought, Luo Chen slowly yet swiftly extended his right hand, two fingers forming a sword, with Qi Power bursting forth.

Swish!

A pure strand of Chi Xiao Sword Qi met the fishing rod and then instantly shattered.

Luo Chen remained calm and unhurried; his sword fingers still thrust forward, Qi Power within his body surged like a tide, gathering Sword Qi around him.

Boom!

A terrifying Sword Qi, tangled with hundreds of strands, suddenly erupted, clashing head-on with the seemingly unremarkable fishing rod.

As Li Canghai expressed surprise once again, Luo Chen softly shouted, ”Break!”

In the next moment, that fishing rod shattered into powder, transforming into Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, returning to this world.

But Luo Chen’s Sword Qi persisted, transforming into five hundred strands, shooting toward Li Canghai like fleeting light.

Unfortunately, after dispersing, the power of the Sword Qi was not as strong as before, and something blocked it before it reached Li Canghai, causing it to instantly dissipate.

Li Canghai looked at the dissipating Sword Qi before him and praised, ”The power of one sword, comparable to a Divine Transformation strike, in today’s world, you can be considered the foremost Nascent Soul!”

Luo Chen did not take pride, slowly relaxed his sword fingers, and said, ”Senior’s abilities are vast as the ocean; I merely made a fool of myself.”

Mutual praise, elevating each other.

Then they fell into silence.

Li Canghai carefully examined Luo Chen, casually raised his hand, and a Six-Pointed Star flew out.

Faced with this Six-Pointed Star, Luo Chen’s eyes focused and then relaxed, letting the star fall on the Black King’s head.

Then the sound of snow melting was constantly emitted, the Black King seemed extremely pained, rolling on the ground.

Li Canghai glanced at his left sleeve, then stood up from the ice layer and pointed behind him.

”Young friend, the Blue Ice Sea is quite cold, are you interested in going up the mountain to chat?”

Luo Chen looked up; a towering mountain completely formed of Profound Ice stood majestically.

This mountain should not be here.

A hundred years ago, Li Canghai had stored it in the Mountain and Sea Map.

But it should also be here, because Li Canghai is here.

”Master...”

A timid voice came from behind, containing worry.

”No matter, take care of the Black King, I’ll be back soon.”

Luo Chen flicked his sleeve and flew to Li Canghai’s side.

Li Canghai seemed to appreciate Luo Chen’s courage, smiled, and extended his hand, ”Please!”

Luo Chen nodded slightly, walked side by side with the elder, and flew up to the Soul Ice Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Little White, while watching the Black King, occasionally turned her gaze to the ice mountain, eyes full of worry.

...

Contrary to Little White’s worries, within the palace atop the mountain, it was warm like spring, and the atmosphere in the conversation between the old and the young was quite friendly.

”Luo Chen, your name is one I’ve heard quite often over the years!”

”I’m not sure if it’s a good reputation or a bad one.”

”Haha, we cultivators, is there really a distinction between good and evil? Being famous across the Five Continents, even if it means committing heinous crimes as a heretic devil, what does it matter?”

”It seems my reputation is indeed not very good!”

”You’re too modest; though you carry the title of Demon Monarch Mo Luo, a name that inspires fear and respect, who wouldn’t wish to associate with the Alchemy Sect?”

”You’re flattering me, Senior.”

The friendly atmosphere and polite conversation had been present since they arrived.

Luo Chen knew this was the equal treatment he earned after receiving the other’s strike.

If not for that, a pleasant and lively conversation and even sitting at the same table would be impossible.

Luo Chen did not wish for more pretense and, after exchanging a few simple words, directly cut to the chase.

”Senior, do you have a feud with Tianyuan Daoist Sect?”

Li Canghai showed a playful smile, ”Why do you ask? Don’t you know I have a good relationship with Zhan Buqi, one of the Five Elders of Tianyuan, and we once fought side by side to intimidate two Ancient Demons in the North Sea?”

”The past is the past, now is now.” Luo Chen shook his head, glanced outside the hall, and then said, ”The Black King and the Demon Clan colluding to attack the Tian Nan Continent, was this something it decided on its own?”

Li Canghai drew in his smile, gazed at Luo Chen with a deep and unpredictable expression.

As for the Black King he had incidentally subdued, it was a spare move, unknown to outsiders that the Black King was his Spiritual Pet, so sending it to harass the Tianyuan Daoist Sect wouldn’t worry him about being discovered.

Except he never expected that the true master of the Black King, Luo Chen, would pursue and uncover it.

In this way, his intentions against Tianyuan Daoist Sect were essentially exposed.

Even if it was only a slight exposure, it could be perceived as total by those with keen insight.

”There’s a rumor you were once a Guest Elder of Star Gate for Tianyuan Daoist Sect, even helping the Five Elders deal with the Demon Phoenix Sisters? Asking now, are you challenging on behalf of the Daoist Sect?”

Luo Chen slightly curled his lip, ”Merely an External Affairs Guest Elder, which is already a thing of the past. Haven’t you heard, Senior, that I also joined the Dark Abyss Sect at one point?”
