Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 295: Chapter 152: Sometimes, Talisman Treasures Cannot Be Returned (Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader Yinhua Xiaomin!)_1

The scorching sun was overhead, and spirit power surged like a tide.

Endless sounds of slaughter echoed through the fort.

A brutal offensive and defensive battle had just begun.

Luo Chen stood in mid-air, with only Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang remaining by his side, guarding behind him.

From his perspective, the battle within the fortress had already grown one-sided.

The Fu family cultivators were not numerous to begin with.

Even counting those in the early stages of Qi Refinement, the total number did not exceed fifty.

For a Foundation Establishment force, this was indeed too few.

However, they had already lost many clan members moving from Tian Lan Immortal City, and having this number could already be attributed to Fu Zhang’s careful command.

Comparatively, the Luo Tian Creed cultivators numbered fewer, only about thirty.

But!

In high-end combat power, the Luo Tian Creed far surpassed them.

The Fu family had only four Ninth Level Qi Refinement practitioners, and with Fu Zhang, it was barely five.

On the Luo Tian Creed side, they had Duan Feng, Zeng Wen, Qin Liangchen, Sima Xian, Sima Wenjie and the rest to match them.

Moreover, Wang Yuan, the Chief of the Battle Hall, was among them in the field.

Every time he made a move, he took the life of a Fu family late-stage Qi Refinement expert.

Fu Zhang, a masterful combatant, was stopped by Duan Feng taking the initiative to challenge him.

Duan Feng was no weakling, having ranked among the top three in The Great River District’s Sky Pride List for a long time.

Even the current number one, Nangong Qin, lost to him once when he first arrived.

Although he was later defeated, it demonstrated Duan Feng’s strong capabilities.

Especially after the Battle of Crescent Valley, Duan Feng gained several Ascendant Grade magic tools, almost making up for all his weak points.

For a while, Fu Zhang was being suppressed by Duan Feng.

”This Fu family head is just that ordinary!”

Liu Qiang watched with great excitement, wishing he could rush down to join the fray.

In his words, he didn’t think much of Fu Zhang.

In response to this, Luo Chen said gravely: ”This is only because he has too many concerns after becoming head of the family and dares not act recklessly.”

Luo Chen remembered clearly the initial Battle of Crescent Valley.

The five Ninth Level Qi Refinement experts gathered by the Great Lake Gang, excluding Dan Xiu, had no weaklings.

In that battle, three people died, and even the extremely strong Min Longyu had to retreat in defeat.

Only Fu Zhang, who easily killed Sikong Shoujia, left unscathed.

From start to finish, he wasn’t injured at all.

This person was a powerful warrior, but for the sake of his clan, he did not dare to place himself in danger.

Now it seems that Duan Feng is suppressing him.

But if things become desperate, it can’t be guaranteed that he won’t pull out some secret weapon.

It should be known, the Fu family does have an inheritance talisman!

Moreover, Luo Chen’s focus was not just here.

His spirit vision swept across the area, occasionally pausing, but quickly moved on.

”One!”

”Two!”

”Four Foundation Establishment true cultivators have arrived!”

”I wonder if Miao Wen is among them?”

”Wang Yuan is currently fighting purely with his Ninth Level Qi Refinement and Foundation principles, and he cannot use the Path of Blood technique, otherwise it will be easily exposed.”

”Other Foundation Establishment true cultivators are still fine, but Miao Wen cannot be overlooked. This person is from the Yu Ding Sword Sect and must have used Tongming Liquid. He can easily pierce through Wang Yuan’s truth and falsehood.”

”But in this battle, Wang Yuan must make a move.”

”Not only to win decisively but also to win over the hearts of the Battle Hall.”

”However, dragging this on for too long wouldn’t be good.”

Thoughts kept turning in Luo Chen’s mind.

His lips moved slightly, causing Zhou Yuanli’s eyebrows to furrow before giving instructions to a junior by his side.

...

A mile away from the battlefield, four streams of spirit consciousness intersected continuously.

”Unexpected... In such a short time, the Luo Tian Creed had gathered such a powerful force.”

”What’s so unexpected about this? At its peak, the Broken Mountain Gang was almost indistinguishable from a small sect. Even if the Luo Tian Creed absorbed just one or two tenths of them, they could easily surpass most of the rogue cultivator groups.”

”Mi Shuhua can be considered a hero of his generation. He built up the Broken Mountain Gang and his personal combat power was so extraordinary. It’s a pity...”

”The Chief of the Battle Hall (Wang Yuan) is very strong!”

”Pfft, just a physical cultivator’s technique. It seems to have the power of a Foundation Establishment strike, but do you think he can get within ten meters of us?”

”Friend Nangong is right. While I don’t know how this Wang Yuan forged this diamond-like body, it’s only one sword strike away from us.”

”Heh, Friend Duan seems to have time. Why not stay home and plan for your grandson’s Foundation Establishment instead of coming here?”

”Oh, right. The Duan Feng who’s suppressing Fu Zhang is also your grandson, isn’t he?”

”Tsk tsk, you Duan family are full of prodigies. One generation has produced a Duan Rui, who has reached the Finalization of Qi Refinement, and a Duan Feng, who is on the Sky Pride List.”

Although it sounded like praise, somehow it all seemed sarcastic.

Duan Qiankun silently sighed, not one to engage in verbal conflict.

Nangong Jin’s voice sounded again, ”Let them fight. After this battle, the Fu family will definitely be finished and the Luo Tian Creed will also suffer considerable losses.”

”This Luo Chen is a smart man, but unfortunately, he’s still too young and impulsive, only capable of participating in such emotional conflicts.”

”If they continue fighting, his Luo Tian Creed will... huh?”

”Hm?”

Surprised voices echoed continuously.

The situation had changed.

...

”Foundation Establishment families have long histories and they definitely possess numerous treasures.”

”Fellow cultivators, possessions are for the virtuous. I have a deep store of virtue, so I’ll go first!”

”Let’s join in, let’s join in!”

”The creation of blood talismans violates natural law. Today, I, as a cultivator, am here to act in the name of justice!”

It was clear that the Fu family was on the decline, and they were being pressed into a corner by the Luo Tian Creed. Everyone could see this clearly.

After this battle, the Fu family was destined to become a speck of dust in the history of The Great River District.

If that was the case, why not share the spoils?

With the ”instigation” of ”a certain rogue cultivator”.

Suddenly, countless rogue cultivators flew into the Fu family’s fort on their Glints.

The fort, which had seemed so spacious before, became crowded in an instant as it accommodated thousands of rogue cultivators.

One building after another collapsed due to the clamor of the cultivators.

The extinction of the Fu family was now an unalterable reality.

Watching this scene, Luo Chen sighed a breath of relief.

The junior dispatched by Zhou Yuanli had unknowingly retreated from the crowd.

Luo Chen looked at him admiringly, then ordered: ”Notify Wang Yuan and others to retreat all Battle Hall cultivators.”

”Also, give the signal for Duan Feng and the others to retreat immediately if they find the situation unfavorable.”

Zhou Yuanli promptly agreed.

Even during the notification process, despite Zhou Yuanli’s usual calm and composed nature, he couldn’t help but feel the excitement in his heart.

The newly founded Luo Tian Creed was honestly not appreciated by many.

Even within the group, there were those who harbored doubts.

Most of them believed that the Luo Tian Creed, distinct from the Broken Mountain Gang, not seizing territory, not contending for resources, merely served to assist their chief, Luo Chen, in Pill Refinement.

However, after this battle, everyone would realize.

The Luo Tian Creed was not weak!

They had the capital to fight with any minor force.

Even if they faced the Fu Family, an established Foundation Establishment Family, they could still compete!

Gradually, the cultivators of the Luo Tian Creed withdrew from the battlefield.

However, the fighting inside continued, becoming even more intense.

These were battles between Fu Family cultivators and rogue cultivators, and among rogue cultivators themselves.

”Count the number of casualties.”

”You don’t need to hand in the spoils. Whoever gets them, keeps them.”

”Organize the formation. When the situation stabilizes, we will strike again, striving to seize the essence of the Fu Family’s resources.”

Wang Yuan quietly approached Luo Chen.

Looking at the young man who was strategizing and continuously issuing orders, a touch of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He was very clear that this battle, from planning to execution, was almost entirely dominated by Luo Chen.

As for the final result, it had not yet been seen.

However, Luo Chen’s objectives had almost all been accomplished.

He used the Fu Family to establish his prestige, establishing the position of the Luo Tian Creed in the Great River District.

From now on, this will create an excellent situation where one punch opens a way, avoiding a hundred punches.

”If I cultivate alone, my momentum will not last long.”

”Helping Luo Chen is helping myself.”

Wang Yuan understood clearly that lone warriors in the Immortal Cultivation World often ended badly.

But apart from being able to fight, he had no other merits.

Even though he had led the Jiao Hall in the Taishan District for so long, he had not truly entered the core circle of the Taishan District.

Therefore, he early on acknowledged his reality.

Compared with building his own force, it was better to join Luo Chen with his heart and soul.

At least, Luo Chen was a close friend, someone he could trust.

Also, judging from the Concealing Breath Mantra and the Blood Ignition Pill that Luo Chen refined for him, Luo Chen is not a person who would mistreat his brothers.

The only pity is that Luo Chen’s realm is too low.

If only he could reach the Foundation Establishment, that would be much better.

Join hands with him, they can completely seize more cultivation resources in the Great River District.

Just when his mind was whirling, a pitiful shout echoed out from the roaring sea of killing.

”The destruction of my Fu Family, is all because of Luo Chen!”

”Today, I, Fu Zhang, fail to make good to my ancestors, the only way is to apologize with my death.”

With the mournful and sad yell, an astonishing fluctuation erupted from the crowd of thousands cultivators.

It’s a huge golden gourd hammer!

Not a magic tool in Fu Zhang’s hand, but an illusion.

The illusion was huge, almost obscuring the sky.

Under that giant gourd hammer, Fu Zhang’s figure looked so insignificant.

His body was stained with blood, and numerous wounds could be seen.

However, his pair of bloody eyes were tightly staring at a man a few dozen miles away.

He was holding a golden talisman in his hand, which was sucking his spirit power like a madman.

Beyond that, the Spirit Qi floating in the heaven and earth was being wrapped into a whirlwind, being drawn into the hammer’s illusion.

Everyone was stunned.

Someone shouted ”Magic Item” unknowingly.

Then there was a hasty escape, not daring to delay in the Wu fort for a moment.

Fu Zhang didn’t even glance at them. He just stared at Luo Chen just as if he wanted to tear him apart and devour him alive.

”Even if I die, I will drag you down to hell!”

The next moment, his body shot out.

The huge golden hammer overhead fell like a mountain.

”Danger!”

”Chief, retreat quickly!”

”Luo Chen!”

In the midst of anxious cries, Luo Chen, contrary to expectations, advanced instead of retreating!

Sometimes, retreat is not an option.

Wang Yuan, who was standing behind Luo Chen, was shocked to his very soul. His reaching hand froze in mid-air.

A wisp of blood energy had already seeped out.

However, he let out a deep sigh. This was Luo Chen’s own choice.

”Come, I also want to see the power of the Heritage Talisman!”

Luo Chen’s face was calm, but there was a hint of madness in his eyes.

That came from the long-term threat from Gao Tingyuan, Mi Shuhua’s plot to control, and Miao Wen’s repeated disdain, the long accumulated anger.

This anger had given rise to his long suppressed madness.

This battle today can already be called a beautiful victory.

But, it’s not yet perfect!

This perfection must be filled in by him as the head of the Luo Tian Creed!

With his swift advance, a green banner suddenly unfolded.

”Roar!”

A dragon emerged in front of him.

”Go!”

”Go!”

”Again!”

Luo Chen uttered a low shout, grabbing the banner with both hands.

The next moment, six dragons roared out.

Luo Chen waved his banner, and six green dragons lunged at the giant golden hammer.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The enormous roar drowned out all other sounds.

In the intermingling of gold and green, a figure suddenly leapt into the air.

The next moment, like a sharp sword, he raced towards the remaining illusion of the giant hammer.

Fu Zhang looked in horror at the man charging at him: ”How dare he face the Heritage Talisman head on?”

A similarly dazzling golden light bloomed in front of him.

It was like the rising of a sun, completely engulfing him.

The illusion of the giant hammer disappeared.

In the sky, there was only that proud sun and that smaller sun.

And a figure emerging proudly, walking out as if a god or an immortal.
