Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Hall Master!”

Luo Chen nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two people. Ignoring He Qingzi’s earnest gaze, his eyes lingered on Moon Independent Cultivator uncertainly.

Faced with this scrutiny, Moon Independent Cultivator was extremely anxious, even trembling.

How pitifully weak the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator looked, someone who had once inherited the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch’s legacy.

What shadow did the former Qi Xia Emperor leave on her?

But her behavior was not without reason.

She had a grudge against Luo Chen!

A significant one!

Luo Chen’s friend, Duan Li, in the North Sea died at her hands.

Luo Chen’s industrial interests and allied forces, the Zhang Family in Penghu, were destroyed by her.

Once, she chased Luo Chen for thousands of miles, nearly forcing him into the Netherworld Sea.

Now Qi Xia Emperor was gone, and Luo Chen’s power had surpassed hers long ago. If Luo Chen wished to kill, no one could stop him!

Such terrifying life and death at the hands of others, no one would handle it better than Moon Independent Cultivator.

After a while.

In Moon Independent Cultivator’s tense state, a heavenly voice reached her ears.

”Moon Slave, guard Tungxuan Hall, don’t let outsiders disturb us.”

”Yes!”

”He Qingzi, please look after things over at Zhukong Hall.”

”Hall Master, aren’t we appointing a new Day Sky Palace Master?”

”Not for now. Yuan Jun is gone, Qing Shuang is absent, who else can take over the positions of the two Hall Masters? Let them stay vacant! Now, He Qingzi, take me to the Cangwu Treasure House to check the materials there, I have great use for them.”

He Qingzi agreed and followed Luo Chen to the Cangwu Treasure House.

Behind them, Moon Independent Cultivator felt an immense relief, her lips curving into an uncontrollable smile.

Indeed!

With Yuan Jun just ascended, Luo Chen hesitated to act rashly. Her gamble paid off.

...

Cangwu Treasure House.

Luo Chen was once a frequent visitor here.

During the three years imprisoned on Cangwu Mountain, he often came here to select herbs and refine the Transforming Pill.

Thus, he was quite familiar with this place.

Now, with He Qingzi personally guiding him, many materials he hadn’t noticed before were highlighted by his Dharma Eye.

Soul Nourishing Wood, Nine-leaf Rosy Cloud Grass, Top-grade Five Elements Lotus Stand...

The generosity of Qi Xia Emperor was remarkable, leaving these treasures behind upon his departure—perhaps dismissing them as insignificant; in any case, Luo Chen benefited.

His hand touched a bone that exuded a strong breath.

The bone was charred black, filled with a burning breath, likely left from powerful flames.

The straight bone had holes, resembling a flute.

”The bone of a fifth-order Desolate Beast?”

From the side, He Qingzi raised her head to explain upon hearing Luo Chen’s murmuring, ”That bone should belong to a Yin Xiao Beast. Its howl resembles the sound of a flute, ensnaring minds. It’s left from a fifth-order Demon Beast slain by Yuan Jun himself in the Barbaric Land years ago.”

The Wilderness, different from the Five Continents of Mountain Sea World.

They are remnants of ancient times, complete losers of ancient battles, driven to the Barbaric Land to linger in survival.

A barren place, yet vast, not belonging to any continent of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Countless years passed, and no one knew how many top-tier Savage Beasts remained.

Luo Chen was stirred and asked, ”Is there a map?”

”There seems to be one Yuan Jun casually drew years ago, but I don’t know where it’s been misplaced; I’ll find it for the Hall Master later!”

”Hmm, continue to find the thing I want.”

After a while.

He Qingzi exclaimed joyfully, lifting a small stone from amidst the boxes.

”Hall Master, I found what you wanted, and there are many!”

A crystal-clear presence.

Its name: Void Prism Aperture!

An exceptionally valuable spatial material with excellent extensibility.

Essential in crafting Magic Item Level storage tools or large teleportation formations.

Luo Chen hurried over, his eyes fell into the box, a smile emerging on his face.

Indeed!

As he expected, since Cangwu Mountain could place such a super-large teleportation formation, there must be abundant Void Prism Apertures.

Unexpectedly, so much was left.

Enough to set up several large teleportation formations in the Eastern Wasteland.

He Qingzi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Luo Chen, and curiously asked, ”Hall Master, isn’t there a discord between you and Moon Slave?”

While inspecting the quality of Void Prism Apertures, Luo Chen responded ambiguously.

He Qingzi grew more curious, ”If so, why doesn’t the Hall Master punish her?”

”It’s not the right time yet,” Luo Chen replied casually.

He Qingzi seemed to ponder, ”Is it because Yuan Jun has ascended only recently, making it inappropriate to act against his remaining people?”

”That’s part of the reason,” Luo Chen acknowledged.

He Qingzi smiled slightly, relieved but curious if there might be other reasons besides that.

Luo Chen gestured and collected all the Void Prism Apertures into his storage ring.

Turning around, his gaze wandered elsewhere, unfocused and ethereal.

”Tell me, how many Demon Cultivators truly submit to me in the current Cangwu Mountain?”

He Qingzi paused, wanting to say all but recalled earlier events, her face turning a bit unpleasant.

She forced herself to speak, ”You are the Crossing Truth Palace Master, with authority to command demons. How dare they defy you?”

Luo Chen shook his head, ”This authority came from Qi Xia Emperor. Now that Yuan Jun has gone, the name of Crossing Truth Palace Master alone is insufficient to command respect! Moreover, a vast area, not merely Cangwu Mountain occupies less than a third.”
