Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Among the five great masters, one has fallen.

He died so quietly, as if an ant had been crushed by someone.

But Xiao Zirui was certainly no ant; he was a genius among the younger generation of the Xiao Family, second only to the brothers Xiao Feng and Xiao Yun.

Otherwise, Xiao Feng wouldn’t have brought him back even after he betrayed them.

Yet, this very genius was extinguished by Luo Chen with a flick of the finger, without even a blink.

Imagine, then, how much weight the others could possibly hold in Luo Chen’s heart?

They were just at the Furnace Realm, after all.

They didn’t even have the familial ties with Xiao Zirui and Xiao Feng.

If Xiao Feng still refuses to submit, who will Luo Chen kill next to establish his authority?

At this moment, those kneeling on the ground couldn’t help but feel immense fear.

Luo Chen seemed unaware, his fingers’ Gang Silk still tightened around the heart of the four masters, and the Qi Mechanism firmly locked in the far-off ruins, where Tie Xiong still wasn’t dead.

He merely watched Xiao Feng with peaceful eyes.

Yet to Xiao Feng, though those eyes were peaceful, he dared not meet them.

As if just a glance would reveal mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He had understood before that Luo Chen wasn’t someone easy to deal with, but he never thought he would turn on them so decisively.

If he hesitated, delayed, or wavered any longer...

Thump!

Xiao Feng bent his knee and knelt on the ground.

Beside him, Xiao San Niang was stunned, incredulous, yet she said nothing, as yielding was now the only logical choice given the circumstances.

Xiao Feng kneeled on the ground, bowed his head.

”Xiao Feng is willing to serve you, my Lord!”

”Heh heh.”

Luo Chen let out a light laugh, the Gang Silk that tightly held everyone’s hearts slowly dissipated, but his laughter became louder and louder.

The laughter spread, causing the lake water to churn, echoing in everyone’s hearts repeatedly.

Even without the restraint of the life-locking Gang Silk, none of the masters were able to muster any thought of resistance under that laughter.

Since Luo Chen arrived in Yixian City, the mere two times he took action already left an indelible impression of strength on their minds.

Who would dare to attempt the impossible?

The laughter gradually subsided, and Luo Chen, with his hands behind his back, paced over to Xiao Feng’s side.

”You will still lead this Yixian City, just don’t manage it poorly.”

The previously anxious Xiao Feng was taken aback upon hearing this.

Luo Chen had no intention of taking his position as City Lord?

”But in the future, should I need anything, you must spare no effort to gather it for me without the slightest delay.”

Xiao Feng, unexpectedly pleased to retain his position as City Lord, hurriedly replied, ”Please command, my Lord!”

Luo Chen chuckled softly, ”Had you been so observant earlier, you could have avoided today’s fiasco. Now then, I have a list here; use the power of Yixian City to gather everything on it for me. Also, no more trade of top-grade Mishan Smoke with outsiders; reserve it all for me. Lastly, I couldn’t find the Secret Technique for Tie Xiong to break through to the Leakless Realm in the Book Collection Pavilion, nor your father’s Cultivation Insight for breaking through to the Leakless Realm. I assume you have them; hand them over.”

One condition after another, or rather, orders!

These commands, which would have sounded excessively unreasonable in the past, now seemed acceptable coming from Luo Chen, and Xiao Feng accepted them one by one.

Luo Chen shook his head with a smile, looking down upon Xiao Feng from above.

”I hope you can continue to be so compliant in the future.”

Saying this, he left gracefully.

After he left, the previously noisy Wave Watching Pavilion became extremely quiet, almost eerily so.

Xiao Feng stood up, facing the gaze of Iron Butcher, Chu Zhaonan and others, and looked at the severely injured Tie Xiong being helped out from the ruins by Xiao San Niang, his expression embarrassed to the extreme.

But in the end, his gaze fell on the corpse lying on the ground.

A look of helplessness was all that remained on his face.

The others tacitly looked down in silence.

The enemy is too powerful; what can be done?

...

Under the night sky.

Luo Chen strolled down the long street alone, the smile on his lips never fading.

He was in a good mood, not just because he subdued Xiao Feng and others and had a group of people serving him.

In fact, when Luo Chen arrived in Yixian City, he already had such an idea.

To cultivate quickly, be it Immortal Cultivation or Body Refinement, solely relying on individual efforts is impossible.

Especially at a low realm that focuses on the accrual of resources!

In the past, in the Mountain Sea Realm, whether it was with the Broken Mountain Gang, the Luo Tian Sect, or during the Eight Hundred Li Penghu period, he never lacked people to collect resources for him.

A proven path to success which he would surely replicate again.

However, this time, he didn’t intend to form his own force.

It was too troublesome, and Luo Chen considered himself a principled person; if he were to form such a force, he would bear some responsibility for it.

Thus, this time his method was more straightforward and decisive, using force to suppress and not caring if the other party was genuinely submissive.

The reason Luo Chen didn’t act earlier and instead lay low temporarily was due to his unfamiliarity with this world.

But after encountering the high-tier martial prowess of this world and gaining an understanding of the Great Destruction Realm and the Seventy-two Cities, he no longer had any concerns.

Thus, the sudden ambush today.

The true source of Luo Chen’s good mood was his performance in the recent battle.

Defeating Tie Xiong wasn’t worth mentioning, as during the Martial Combat Decides the Master, he relied purely on physical strength.
