Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

In Shouyang Mountain.

On the bluestone path between the mountains, two figures walked side by side.

The man was tall and handsome, the woman radiant, together they seemed like a pair of celestial lovers.

”Caiyi, you’ve lost quite a bit of weight!” The man held the woman’s hand, his eyes full of tenderness.

Gu Caiyi used her other hand to tuck the hair hanging before her eyes behind her ear, revealing a delicate oval-shaped face as she smiled slightly: ”Compared to the myriad difficulties you face outside, I was merely in closed-door cultivation for a while, what’s a little weight loss? As long as I can help you, no matter how bitter it is, I am willing!”

Luo Chen shook his head and sighed softly.

When his realm was low and his strength feeble, his views on people and things were quite utilitarian.

The acquaintances he made were mostly useful ones.

Friends by his side were all expected to shine brightly for him as much as possible.

To say it bluntly, his marriage with Sima Huiniang was partially for deeper ties with this Luo Tian Sect steward.

Back then, Luo Chen was in desperate need of various cultivation resources, thus he tried to extract every ounce of help from his friends.

But as Luo Chen cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm and the chaos unfolded, Luo Tian Sect became somewhat of a ”burden” to him.

In this period, Luo Chen wasn’t as utilitarian anymore.

He no longer focused on using those beside him, instead, he transformed into a massive tree providing shelter from the storm.

Especially when Luo Chen’s strength skyrocketed, even average Nascent Soul True Masters were insignificant to him, Luo Tian Sect’s assistance was nearly insignificant.

Thus, even when he was about to face the giant Tianyuan Daoist Sect, he instinctively didn’t consider help from Luo Tian Sect cultivators.

He even preferred not involving Luo Tian Sect cultivators, in case he perished, at least these family and friends could continue living well.

What Luo Chen didn’t expect was that those he once sheltered had unknowingly grown strong, standing unyieldingly behind him.

Even Gu Caiyi broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage!

This was somewhat unexpected.

However, upon reflection, it made sense.

Gu Caiyi’s talent wasn’t outstanding, she even failed Foundation Establishment once, it was Luo Chen who invested great effort to rescue her.

Yet, it was that Foundation Establishment failure that made Gu Caiyi determined to lay a solid foundation and steadily climb to higher peaks.

Over the years, she did not covet high positions in the sect, forsaking wealth and power, and even reined in the jealousy she often displayed against Sima Huiniang, focusing solely on cultivation.

With Luo Chen’s cultivation insights guiding her path, Ling Fengzi, an old seasoned Nascent Soul, offering continual guidance, and Luo Tian Sect supplying rich resources, she finally broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

This year, Gu Caiyi was over four hundred years old, nearing the end of Golden Core’s five-hundred-year lifespan.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao rewards those diligent.

She succeeded not only in raising her realm but extending her life by five hundred years!

Luo Chen gently squeezed the soft, boneless hand and mused: ”Who would have thought that we, once cramped in a courtyard at The Great River District, could come this far?”

Gu Caiyi was equally sentimental, from that small The Great River District emerged two Nascent Soul True Masters, one Fourth Realm Body Refinement expert, and several Golden Core cultivators.

All of this stemmed from the miracle of following Luo Chen.

She indeed chose wisely back in the day!

Looking at the man’s rugged face beside her, Gu Caiyi was filled with respect yet worried at the same time.

”Husband, do you really intend to take on Tianyuan Daoist Sect?”

Luo Chen replied calmly: ”Not only Tianyuan Daoist Sect, but likely, I’ll also come against Divine Transformation Great Power.”

Gu Caiyi’s demeanor shook, her face instinctively showing fear.

She tightly gripped Luo Chen’s hand, ”Husband, why must you do this? With the number of top-tier experts we have in Luo Tian Sect, coupled with your unrivaled abilities, and since Eastern Wasteland lacks a true ruler, we can live well here, let Luo Tian Sect be the top Great Sect in Eastern Wasteland, and you shall remain the most revered master of the East Desolate Human Clan. Given time, it’s not impossible for you to ascend too!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen displayed a rare bitter smile.

If only it were that simple.

He shook his head, ”All of that is meaningless.”

Gu Caiyi questioned, ”What is meaningful? What deep grudge do you have with Tianyuan Daoist Sect, that necessitates warfare?”

Luo Chen softly responded: ”Breaking through Divine Transformation, achieving Longevity and Rambling are meaningful. To take that firm step on the path of Longevity, I must invade Tianyuan Daoist Sect and seize a precious item.”

Gu Caiyi remained bewildered.

For over a hundred years, regarding Luo Chen, they had only seen its surface, not the underlying truth.

Only those close to him like Wang Yuan and Gu Caiyi vaguely sensed Luo Chen’s urgency.

An urgency willing to risk death just to forcibly improve strength!

The true moment when Luo Tian Sect realized Luo Chen would confront Tianyuan Daoist Sect came from an elder arriving across the sea to visit Luo Tian Sect.

Zhou Yunshen!

After sending his grandson Zhou Fuqiu to Tian Nan Dao Palace, he didn’t return directly to his clan.
