Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

It silently looked towards the lake shore, where a woman with a fiery figure and a neck as slender as a swan’s was quietly waiting.

Upon seeing the giant turtle emerge, the woman spoke.

”Xuanming, the master has decreed that we must swiftly head to Cangwu Mountain!”

The giant turtle Xuanming heard this, snorted out a spray of water from its nostrils, nodded silently, and slowly crawled out of Ming Lake on its pillar-like legs.

Tian Xuan smiled slightly, ”You wait at the entrance of the Blessed Land while I notify the other two.”

Tian Xuan hurried off, flying into a canyon deep within the Blessed Land.

A short while later, by the time she returned, the Black King had also swaggered along behind her.

”Tian Xuan, what major event is the master planning this time, that he wants all of us to set out together?”

”The master’s orders; just execute them, why ask so much?”

”Tch, you cunning little girl flaunting authority. If it’s a wasted trip, watch out, I might teach you a lesson.”

”With your astonishingly slow speed, you’d better catch up to me first!”

The two bickered as always, but their pace didn’t slow.

By the time they reached the entrance to the Blessed Land, in addition to the giant turtle Xuanming, Demon Monk Kongchan had already been waiting.

There was also one more person, somewhat beyond Tian Xuan’s expectations.

”Madam, why are you here?”

Gu Caiyi, dressed in a lavish palace gown, calmly retorted, ”Can’t I be here?”

Tian Xuan quickly waved her hands, ”That’s not what I meant. It’s just that this journey is perilous, and the place we’re headed to is sensitive, which is why the master only called us four.”

Gu Caiyi glanced around at the four, seeing that Black King, Xuanming, and Savage Beasts, while Kongchan and Tian Xuan were Demon Beasts.

Clearly, the destination was not suitable for human cultivators.

Moreover, with even someone at the Nascent Soul Realm like Tian Xuan describing it as dangerous, it was obviously no easy journey.

Gu Caiyi sighed, ”I just want to see him.”

Tian Xuan opened her mouth but finally nodded.

”Then let’s head out together!”

As for the matters ahead, let the master worry about them—why be concerned yourself?

Four demons and one person left together from the Blessed Land.

They crossed the Nether Abyss, arrived at the mountain gate of the Luo Tian Sect, and then took the teleportation formation.

Upon reappearing, they found themselves in a land of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Gu Caiyi stepped out from the underground teleportation hall, gazing at the lush Cangwu Mountain and the circling birds with great curiosity in her eyes.

”Is this the place where my husband transformed into a Divine form, the legendary Yu Race Sacred Land, Cangwu Mountain?”

”Indeed!”

Tian Xuan nodded, her eyes filled with reverence.

News about Luo Chen’s Divine Transformation had begun to spread in recent years.

Whether it was the serious blow to the Wolf Race in the Million Mountains or Luo Chen’s appearances in the North Sea and South Border, it greatly affected the balance of power among all the major forces in the Mountain Sea Realm today.

As the sect Luo Chen founded, Luo Tian Sect, though a bit delayed, was not short of information on this matter.

Especially with first-hand witnesses like Tian Xuan and Kongchan.

From afar, a serene voice rang out.

”Is this the master’s wife?”

Gu Caiyi turned her head to see a woman with features as delicate as a painting, walking over with a bright smile and extraordinary grace.

”Who is this?” Gu Caiyi asked curiously.

Tian Xuan quickly explained, ”This is Hua Mei Fairy, the current Hall Master of Zhukong Hall, and also the master’s disciple.”

Gu Caiyi raised an eyebrow, ”Disciple? Like Xu Muxian was?”

Hua Mei smiled slightly, ”The master’s wife jests. Hua Mei is but a registered disciple of the master.”

Xu Muxian was also once just a registered disciple.

Gu Caiyi thought as much.

She then looked around, vaguely seeing the magnificent palaces atop the two distant mountain peaks.

The highest one should be Tongxuan Hall, where the Qi Xia Emperor once resided.

Opposite Zhukong Hall should be the Transmitting Truth Hall, where her husband Luo Chen presided.

Following her gaze, Hua Mei Fairy softly explained, ”The master has already stepped down from his position as the Crossing Truth Hall Master and passed it on to He Qingzi. Zhukong Hall has been entrusted to me. As for the master, he resides temporarily in Tongxuan Hall.”

Gu Caiyi, somewhat bewildered, hadn’t expected that Luo Chen had even arranged everything regarding Cangwu Mountain.

She only felt a sense of relief in her heart.

It’s good that she came along this time, otherwise with her husband’s way of doing things, if he had everything arranged perfectly, she’d have little time to accompany him once he returned to Luo Tian Sect and started preparing for ascension.

”Everyone, please follow me. The master has been waiting for a long time in Tongxuan Hall.”

Without hesitation, everyone followed Hua Mei Fairy towards Tongxuan Hall.

At the entrance, a robust man holding a blade of grass in his mouth, guarding idly, just nodded casually when he saw them and let them pass.

Gu Caiyi glanced at him and felt a chill in her heart.

A Late Stage Nascent Soul Great Demon Emperor!

Her husband had an even higher status among the Demon Clan than she imagined, with a Great Demon Emperor guarding the door.

Inside the hall.

He Qingzi was reporting to Luo Chen about the current situation of the Demon Clan in the Million Mountains.

”The Tiger Clan there, Jinxiu Immortal is supporting Di Tian’s daughter, aiming to reorganize the Demon Court. But due to Di Tu’s influence, none of the clans dared to cause any major issues.”

”The Wolf Race is now fragmented and engaged in internal strife after Ao Kuang’s demise.”

”The Yu Race holds the highest status among the Million Mountains today. Since the restructuring of the Three Halls under our lord’s initiative, the power structure is now clear, and there’s no dissent within the Yu Race. Even though the Thunder Prison didn’t want to hold the position of Tongxuan Hall Master, the Yu Race Great Commander title you granted him is enough to suppress any small-scale insurrections.”

Presently, on Cangwu Mountain, the Three Halls have been reinstated.

He Qingzi oversees the Transmitting Truth Hall, Hua Mei Fairy manages Zhukong Hall, while the position of the Tongxuan Hall Master remains vacant.

No one dares to take the place of the former Qi Xia Emperor.

Luo Chen originally intended for the Thunder Prison Divine Roc to take on the role, but the roc dared not offend, hence was given another title—Yu Race Great Commander.

In this way, the power structure of the Yu Race Holy Land on Cangwu Mountain became clearly outlined and organized.

It can be said that Luo Chen has already methodically handled all the affairs that need attention before his ascension, to the best of his abilities.

Additionally, Luo Chen recorded Xu Muxian’s name within the Transmitting Truth Hall.

Thus, free to move in and out of Cangwu Mountain, while not under the jurisdiction of the Transmitting Truth Hall.

The purpose of such an arrangement, quite naturally, was to allow Xu Muxian to occasionally return to the North Sea and look after the Flying Swallow Islands.

Amidst He Qingzi’s report, she suddenly paused because Luo Chen’s gaze drifted towards the hall entrance.

Several figures slowly walked in one after another.

He Qingzi looked around, noticing both familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Yet it was the unfamiliar face that drew the most of her attention.

Because as Luo Chen gestured, that person naturally walked up and sat beside Luo Chen.

”Why have you come?”

”I heard that my husband is about to embark on a venture into the barbaric lands. After bitterly cultivating in the Blessed Land for so long, I too wish to step outside and see the world. Will I become a burden to my husband?”

”Haha, aren’t you asking the obvious? But since you’re here, there’s no sense in turning back. Rest assured, with my prowess, I can protect you.”

Gu Caiyi felt a wave of joy. She had known all along that occasionally showing a bit of reliance and vulnerability wouldn’t bother Luo Chen.

Especially when now Luo Chen has the ability to take care of everything!

After exchanging a few words, Luo Chen then turned his attention to the Xuan Turtle, which had shrunk its form to enter the hall.

”Xuanming, I have a task for you.”

Xuanming stepped forward.

In its line of sight, an inner core resembling a pearl appeared before it.

”Enter it and utilize your Lifebound Talent to sort out the Ming Shui inside, creating a clear area.”

Xuanming, without a second thought, under Luo Chen’s spell, entered the Mirage Dragon Inner Core.

The present Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven was already partially damaged, making it easy to open.

Especially as Luo Chen was proficient in the Pill Technique capable of intercepting the Spirit Mechanism, with an abundance of spirit mechanism to employ being available within Cangwu Mountain, it naturally facilitated him in opening the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

Subsequently, it was Tian Xuan’s turn.

”Have you brought the Demonheart Tree?”

Tian Xuan replied, ”I have, and it’s planted within the Penglai Octagon Pavilion.”

”Excellent!”

Luo Chen slowly rose, confidence brimming in his eyes.

”Then let’s set off. Our destination—Wilderness!”

He Qingzi and Hua Mei Fairy bowed deeply, ”May the Lord/Master have a smooth journey!”
