Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 206: Chapter 124: Golden Core Ruins, Supreme Elder of Ghost God Valley (Massive updates, please subscribe)_2

A one-on-one duel?

Unfortunately, it is against six opponents today.

On the exterior, Luo Chen and Dong Fangliang, who are only at the Seventh Level Qi Refinement stage, didn’t even make a move.

Just Zhou Yuanli and three other bodyguards together blasted Feng Yijian into dust instantly, and his Ascendant Grade Flying Sword that he had just summoned had not even flown before Luo Chen.

Luo Chen rubbed his brow, the recent assassinations had become more frequent.

With the Dao Debate Platform closed, the many high-level Qi Refiners that were once gathered were suddenly without direction.

Those cultivators from clans could return to their respective clans, which was fine.

But those rogue cultivators from other places, or the local ones, suddenly lost their livelihoods.

Worse yet, they were accustomed to fighting.

With no place to vent their frustrations, and the steady supply of cultivation resources cut off - plus they were all armed - naturally led to a rise in killings.

The Outer City was almost in a state of constant chaos.

Some beginning to mid-stage rogue cultivators were struggling severely, running to join the Broken Mountain Gang, Great Lake Gang, and Xuan Yihui just to seek some protection.

As the number one Pill Refiner of the Broken Mountain Gang - the wealthy Dan Chenzi, Luo Chen naturally fell into the sights of many rogue cultivators who lived on fighting.

Those at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement might still hold back.

But those with shallow understanding and disproportionate courage and skill on the Seventh or Eighth Level Qi Refinement stage held nothing back.

There have been several occasions when they attacked when Luo Chen was commuting to and from work.

Whether they came in groups of three to five or alone to ambush.

If things continued this way, assurance couldn’t be given that someone on the Ninth Level Qi Refinement wouldn’t personally make a move.

”They really consider me as a fat lamb for slaughter!”

Cursing, Luo Chen ordered his men to clean up the battlefield.

The Medium Grade Robes were ruined, and the storage bag was also shattered in the battle. Only the Medium Grade Magic Tool in his hand and the Ascendant Grade Flying Sword Magic Tool that flew into mid-air were saved.

”Liu Qiang!”

Liu Qiang lifted his head.

Luo Chen waved his hand, and the flying sword circled in front of Liu Qiang.

”You protected me well last time and were seriously injured. This Ascendant Grade Flying Sword is your reward.”

It’s for me?

Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment, then joyfully accepted it.

An Ascendant Grade Flying Sword would have been worth more than two thousand spirit stones in the past.

Due to the recent chaotic situation, the price of magic tools has increased. Buying it from Wanbao Pavilion would cost at least three thousand!

”Hall Master is generous, Liu Qiang gives thanks.”

Luo Chen did not mind and rewarded another Medium Grade Magic Tool to Dong Fangliang, whose realm was the lowest.

He received another round of thanks.

The other three bodyguards were not dissatisfied. During the previous few ambushes, apart from taking the spirit stones and elixirs, Luo Chen had distributed most of the spoils of war among them.

Only this time, it was Liu Qiang and Dong Fangliang’s turn.

Luo Chen’s move was rather generous.

But he was forced to do so.

With increasing robbery and murder, his security was becoming more important.

Among his five bodyguards, besides Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang, the other three weren’t given much regard in the past.

They didn’t possess any good magic tools.

To strengthen their power, Luo Chen might as well be make grand contributions.

”But when will end such days?”

Luo Chen sighed, a bit of resentment towards the Golden Core Ascendant Master in his heart.

The root of everything should be blamed on that person.

Unfortunately, the fuss that Luo Chen expected to end would ultimately be unstoppable.

Because a greater chaos was coming.

”An ancient relic has been found in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, confirmed to be a relic of a Golden Core Ascendant Master.”

As soon as he arrived in Crescent Valley, he learned this news from people like Murong Qinglian.

...

...

”Is it confirmed?”

”How did they confirm it?”

Among the crowd, Luo Chen curiously asked.

The turn came to Sikong Shoujia to enlighten him in this instance.

”The array around that relic site is the famous Heavenly Craft Qi Snatching Array.”

”Only a Golden Core Ascendant Master of the legendary Ghost God Valley could set up this array, ordinary Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t be able to.”

Luo Chen was only more interested: ”Ghost God Valley? There’s no sect by that name in the Yu Ding Realm!”

Stroke his beard, Sikong Shoujia leisurely said: ”It’s normal for you youngsters to not know this name.”

The faces of Luo Chen and others stiffened. Who are you pretending to be an old geezer?

We’re all on the same level, but you’re just a few decades older and still only at the Qi Refinement stage.

Yes, our Immortal Cultivation World doesn’t have morals. It’s based on cultivation level as seniority!

”In the original 16 Sects that collectively initiated the Open War, led by the Yu Ding Sword Sect and assisted by the top five Ascendant Sects, their names should be familiar.”

”Among these 16 Sects, the remaining ten were also well-known. Like Luo Yun Sect, Ailao Mountain... among these, Ghost God Valley was an Array Great Sect.”

”During the Open War, Ghost God Valley contributed greatly, setting up arrays on the mountains, and combating demon beasts near the water.”

”Unfortunately, during a confrontation with a Fourth-Order Demon Beast King leading the tide of demon beasts, Ghost God Valley’s camp suffered a great shock. The True Master Yu Ding was unable to rescue them in time, leading to the near total destruction of Ghost God Valley.”

”Afterward, an old Golden Core from Ghost God Valley hurried over to gather the remnants, reluctantly withdrawing from the Open War.”

”Four hundred years have passed, and that old Golden Core ascendant master had long since passed away. Ghost God Valley had no successors and gradually declined, and now is only a branch, operating as an Immortal Cultivation Clan under the command of the Yu Ding Sword Sect.”

Listening to Sikong Shoujia’s narration, everyone couldn’t help but feel fascinated.

The Open War!

What a grand spectacle it was.

Sixteen Sects attacking Lianxia Mountain Range together, killing millions of demon beasts, and finally establishing the Yu Ding Realm, opening up a new Cultivation Land for the Human Clan.

In this vast war, there were figures like Ascendant Master Yun He distinguished themselves, but tragedies like the wipeout of the entire Ghost God Valley also happened.
