Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

In the first year, he tried the book on Divine Firmness Fighting Qi and cultivated the Red Leaf True Gang.

In the third year, Xiao Feng had Chu Zhaonan bring over a gourd filled with Nine Tribulations Earth Evil.

At that time, Luo Chen was quite shocked.

Just because the gourd containing the Nine Tribulations Earth Evil used Immortal Clans’ methods!

And that gourd originated from Wuyou City!

In other words, Wuyou City, revered as the foremost of the Seventy-two Cities, and Martial Arts Holy Land, might still have Immortal Cultivators!

Luo Chen was deeply curious about this, but he did not delve too deeply.

The time was not right yet.

He just settled down, expending significant effort to gradually refine the Nine Tribulations Earth Evil, transforming his own Red Leaf True Gang into the higher quality Nine Tribulations True Gang.

And so it went.

A decade passed by in the blink of an eye!

The long period of a homebound lifestyle almost made the entire Yixian City forget Luo Chen.

If it weren’t for Jing Lan’s frequent appearances at the Renji Hall shop, ordinary people might have suspected Luo Chen had left Yixian City.

To some, Luo Chen’s lifestyle was too peculiar.

Within the Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Feng listened to his subordinates report the unremarkable ten years of Luo Chen, with a subtle expression.

”He doesn’t go out, doesn’t build up power, keeps away entirely from power and beauty, does he truly seek to pursue the Longevity of the Path of Martial Arts?”

Xiao San Niang looked perplexed, ”Luo Chen’s lifestyle is very much like your father’s!”

Xiao Feng frowned with some displeasure.

”How can the two be compared? Although father is known as a Martial Fool, he still occasionally goes out for walks, and engages in combat exchanges with peers. To shut oneself in for cultivation like Luo Chen, it is truly unwise.”

Xiao San Niang shook her head, ”Perhaps, it has something to do with his past as an Immortal Cultivator!”

According to rumors, Immortal Cultivators live quietly, often isolating themselves in cave mansions for hundreds or thousands of years of intensive cultivation.

For them, a mere ten years is but a snap of the fingers.

Xiao Feng didn’t want to discuss this matter further, so he changed the topic.

”San Niang, you manage the mansion’s accounts. Why does the Iron Butcher say you’ve withheld his resource offerings?”

Xiao San Niang showed a bitter smile, ”It’s not that I withheld them, it’s just that the supplies cannot keep up!”

”How could it be...” Xiao Feng hadn’t finished his sentence, but he already had the answer in his mind. ”Is it due to Luo Chen?”

Xiao San Niang nodded, ”In Yixian City, any good meat must be supplied to Luo Chen first, and even the Dragon Tooth Rice must be the best selected. Initially, it was fine, but after ten years, it’s beyond my capability. I can only cut back on other Guest Elders’ offerings to ensure Luo Chen’s supply.”

Xiao Feng was somewhat incredulous, ”He is but one person, how can my vast Yixian City not be able to supply him, even affecting others?”

Xiao San Niang was silent.

Or rather, she didn’t know why a mere Furnace Realm martial artist like Luo Chen required such vast resources.

Each year, the list sent from the Luo Mansion listed increasingly larger amounts of resources.

Over time, she was overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng’s expression became unpredictable.

At that moment, footsteps were heard from the door.

Xiao Feng looked up to see a gray-robed middle-aged man enter with an empty sleeve hanging.

He was first startled, then showed delight.

”Uncle Tie, have your injuries healed?”

Tie Xiong smiled, ”Not only healed, but I also found fortune in misfortune and cultivated a true Leakless Golden Body, though the price was significant.”

As he spoke, his right arm’s empty sleeve gently swayed with the breeze from the hall.

That was the price.

”A true Leakless Golden Body...” Xiao Feng’s eyes grew brighter, suddenly asking, ”Uncle Tie, if you were to face Luo Chen again, what are the odds of winning?”

Upon hearing this question, Tie Xiong, who was in a fairly good mood, immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng’s recently sprouting thought instantly vanished like smoke.

Luo Chen left too deep a psychological shadow on them.

Moreover, no one knew if the opponent had exerted all his strength in that previous battle.

From start to finish, whoever he faced, it was only ever a single move.

”Forget it.” Xiao Feng sat down dejectedly in his chair, listlessly instructing, ”Meet Luo Chen’s requests as much as possible, I’ll explain to the other guest elders.”

Just as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard outside again.

Chu Zhaonan, with a wind-beaten face, showed joy, ”Reporting to the City Lord, there is good news!”

...

Half a year later.

After completing his cultivation, Luo Chen emerged from seclusion and received a message from the City Lord Mansion’s messenger.

”At Mo Feng City, there is a desolate mountain, its interior filled with Wind Caves, possibly harboring the Unforgiving Heavenly Wind.”

Instantly, Luo Chen knew he had to take action.
