Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen asked again, ”You don’t say it out loud, which means you’re tacitly agreeing. But I find an interval of ten years far too short, so I hope that even ten years from now, no one comes to disturb me, not until I leave the Seventh Ring.”

The Purple Mist City Lord suddenly spoke: ”Brother Luo is absolutely right; everyone comes here for cultivation, constant fighting and killing truly ruins the mood.”

Luo Chen gave her an approving look.

The others also caught on—this Luo Chen was a real harbinger of slaughter.

Ordinary challenges, even if they’re not just sparring, to kill at the slightest move is indeed too ruthless.

With an existence like this, once you’ve provoked him, you’re likely stuck in a fight to the death that won’t end.

Especially when the other party also holds Pulse Supplement Pills that everyone covets; if you can avoid offending him, you’d better avoid it. What if he’s in a good mood and casually hands one out like before?

Once they figured this out, the previously suppressed atmosphere immediately grew lively.

”That Old Monster Qu really didn’t know what was good for him, daring to offend Brother Luo.”

”Indeed, that sort who kicks others when they’re down, we naturally despise him and certainly won’t imitate his actions.”

”Brother Luo can just cultivate in peace, no need to worry about anything else.”

Amid the laughter, Luo Chen pressed his hand down in midair, and the mood quieted again.

Sweeping his gaze around at everyone, he spoke gently:

”I know you all want Pulse Supplement Pills. Trades are very simple: as long as you can bring out Void Bud Crystals, I can give you one pill. In fact, not just Pulse Supplement Pills...”

As soon as these words fell, everyone’s eyes lit up.

”Alright, that’s enough for today!”

He waved his hand, and the people began to disperse in pairs and groups.

As for what they would say about Luo Chen after leaving, that was not something Luo Chen cared about.

The Purple Mist City Lord, however, still remained where she was.

”What, can’t bear to part with this Cultivation Stone of yours?” Luo Chen asked with a half-smile.

The Purple Mist City Lord quickly shook her head. ”We’ve already exchanged it earlier; how could I dare sit back and reap easy profit. I stayed only to inform Brother Luo about some particulars of this Cultivation Stone.”

”Oh?” Luo Chen was a little curious.

The Purple Mist City Lord didn’t bother with suspense; she directly floated down onto the stone, then sent out a strand of Gang Qi.

In the next instant, the layer of Stone Membrane covering the meteorite suddenly billowed up, enveloping a span of over three feet in radius.

”If Brother Luo becomes weary from cultivation, you can drive this Stone Membrane to resist the erosion of Chaotic Energy and take a brief rest.”

Luo Chen looked at the Stone Membrane above his head, not particularly interested at first.

This protective cover, quite useful for ordinary Martial Artists, was practically worthless to him; he even felt the concentration of Chaotic Energy here wasn’t high enough.

But with a turn of thought, he lightly nodded.

”Many thanks.”

The Purple Mist City Lord had wanted to say a few more friendly words, but seeing Luo Chen’s expression of keeping others at arm’s length, she didn’t stay any longer.

After a brief farewell, she drifted away.

Judging by the direction, she was probably heading for that Cultivation Stone Old Monster Qu had left behind.

After she left.

Luo Chen gazed at the Stone Membrane overhead; Blood Refining Divine Gang flowed out from his body, replacing the Gang Qi the Purple Mist City Lord had left behind.

Under his control, the Stone Membrane rapidly shrank, finally condensing into an area three feet across.

Then Luo Chen took out the Vacuum Gu from his body, along with that finger-joint-sized Void Bud Crystal he’d acquired at the trade fair.

He placed all of these items within the Stone Membrane.

”Last year when I was cultivating, Chaotic Energy was constantly shrouding the surroundings, which greatly affected the Vacuum Gu that couldn’t be stored in the Storage ring. Because of that, I actually suspended feeding for a time.”

”With this Stone Membrane as shielding and protection, I can resume feeding it.”

”Quite convenient, actually.”

Smiling, Luo Chen began to inspect the remnants Old Monster Qu had left behind.

A Cultivation Technique titled Five Dragons Sheng Shen, apparently his Master Cultivation Technique. Its Order wasn’t high, but the parts involving techniques were rather exquisite.

However, Old Monster Qu’s cultivation of it wasn’t very thorough; his Gang Qi Transformation could only manage the level of five great pythons, far from the five-dragon might of the Completion Stage.

Luo Chen put it away to study in his spare time; at the very least it could serve as a supplementary basic offensive method.

There were also large quantities of aged medicinal herbs, as well as Gold Beads.

Luo Chen didn’t think much of these things.

On the contrary, he felt a slight twinge of regret.

The Nine-layered Immortal Tower sits below the Gate of Annihilation, pulling in the Chaotic Energy drifting out from the Gate of Annihilation to supply Martial Artists in their cultivation.

During this process, special resources from other worlds are often swept into the mix by Chaotic Energy.

For example, Immortal Essence Stones, and likewise Void Bud Crystals.

Martial Artists who cultivate long-term in the Annihilation Nine Rings sometimes stumble upon drifting Exotic Treasures.

Even if they don’t recognize them, they’ll still keep them as collectibles.

But unfortunately, the hundred-year term had just ended, and many Martial Artists had gone out to exchange those Exotic Treasures for cultivation resources they needed.

This time killing the enemy, my haul of spoils wasn’t great at all!

Luo Chen’s hand moved slightly; the Storage ring on his index finger approached the miscellaneous items and collected all of them.

If this scene fell into the eyes of an Immortal Cultivator at the Great Destruction Realm, they would surely cry out in astonishment.

A Storage ring requires Qi Power and even Divine Consciousness to activate.

Yet just now, Luo Chen clearly hadn’t used any Qi Power, much less Divine Consciousness.

In fact, the Storage ring Luo Chen currently used had long since had its logic for taking in items modified by him.

As an Array Master and at the same time a Master of Casting, when Luo Chen’s Divine Perception revived, he had proactively dissolved all Divine Consciousness Prohibitions and Mana Prohibitions on the Storage ring, then refashioned the ring’s underlying logic using the Immortal Cultivation World’s simplest ”Blood Drop Recognition.”

Thus he can now use Qi Blood Power to drive the Storage ring.
