Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 381: Chapter 177: This is indeed a time of life and death, why not follow past precedents_2

”As for comprehensive cultivation, I will never neglect the fundamentals for the sake of lesser details.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen nodded in agreement.

Demon Beasts are strong, but not overwhelmingly so.

If a human of the same rank has a slightly diversified skill set, they can deal with Demon Beasts.

Transforming into a demon-like being indeed seems undesirable.

Moreover, the ”Sky Roc Transformation” cultivation technique is incomplete, they wouldn’t even know where to start if they wanted to cultivate it.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already returned to the outskirts of Crescent Valley during their casual chat.

...

”The President is back!”

”Look, what is that?”

”Hiss, a Demon Beast!”

”It looks alive!”

When Luo Chen and Wang Yuan returned, the Luo Tian Creed cultivators, who had finished their fight, all gathered around.

There were cheers and applause.

Especially after seeing the Explosive Monkey, exclamations of surprise erupted.

Even Sima Huiniang and others who approached couldn’t help but look shocked.

This was a Second Order Demon Beast!

Ordinary Qi Refinement Cultivators wouldn’t stand a chance against it.

Defeating it was as difficult as reaching the sky, let alone killing it.

Now, Luo Chen and Wang Yuan had actually captured it alive.

Doesn’t this mean that the combined strength of the two had exceeded that of a Second Order Demon Beast?

It was probably not too different from a Human Clan’s Foundation Establishment!

Duan Feng was looking at this scene with fiery eyes.

”This is what a man should do!”

Seeing many onlookers, Wang Yuan frowned.

He had expended a lot in this battle.

There was no need for him to linger here, Luo Chen was more capable of handling these affairs than him.

Without saying much, Wang Yuan flew directly into Crescent Valley.

Luo Chen stepped through the crowd, his eyes scanning the surroundings. As his sharp gaze swept over, everyone instinctively averted their eyes.

However, soon, all their enthusiastic gazes followed Luo Chen’s retreating figure.

Today’s battle once again cemented Luo Chen’s position in the Creed.

It wasn’t just because he had mastered a high level Pill Refinement Technique.

He also had formidable strength that everyone recognized and respected!

With his individual strength, he could move freely amidst the beast tide.

Even when faced with a Second Order Demon Beast, he could capture it alive.

Everyone was clear that Battle Hall’s Wang Yuan was strong, exceeding everyone’s understanding of strength.

But even Wang Yuan would find it difficult to capture a Second Order Demon Beast alive.

That is to say, Luo Chen contributed a lot in the battle back in the wilderness.

Arriving at the city gate, Luo Chen turned around.

He didn’t bother with pleasantries and directly issued orders.

”I need two Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators to drag this Explosive Monkey into the dungeon.”

”You don’t need to worry about it running wild. I have its Monster Pill and it has been poisoned. It won’t have the strength to resist for a while.”

Quickly, two Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators stepped forward and used the Attraction Technique to move the body of the Explosive Monkey into Crescent Valley.

When Crescent Valley was first built, they added a larger extension underneath.

There was a natural cavern inside that was quite large. With a little modification, it could be used.

Now it was more than enough to imprison the Second Order Demon Beast.

After dealing with the Explosive Monkey, Luo Chen continued to give orders.

”Hall Master Murong, tally the casualties and calculated merits. The awards and punishments will be given tomorrow.”

”Caiyi, you and Granny Yuan will take care of the injured brothers.”

”Duan Feng, you lead the team to repair the defensive works, fix the missing parts of the array, and make sure no opportunists can take advantage.”

Such a great battle was bound to attract attention. To say that nobody noticed would be impossible.

The Rogue Cultivators didn’t dare to act rashly as the situation wasn’t clear yet.

But when Luo Chen swept around with his eyes, he had already noticed some of them approaching.

He continued to issue orders one after another, just in case.

He even asked Sima Xian and Qin Liangchen to lead two teams on patrol nearby.

In the end, he muttered:

”President Sima Huiniang, Law Enforcement Elder Zhou Yuanli, come with me.”

...

Inside the Bright Moon Hall.

Luo Chen sat in the main seat, eyes slightly closed.

He had just taken a Dusting Pill and with the help of Longevity Technique’s natural healing ability, the spirit power within his body was gradually recovering.

Below him, Sima Huiniang and Zhou Yuanli stood respectfully on either side, not daring to even breathe heavily.

At this point, after the successive battles at Crescent Valley, the Fu family, and the most recent beast tide, Luo Chen’s Evil Qi had become stronger and denser.

Having been in a high position for a long time, his every move radiated the power of a leader.

Zhou Yuanli, who had been with him the longest, felt it most deeply.

The Luo Chen of the past often joked and acted playfully.

But now, he rarely saw such scenes.

It was either inappropriate, or perhaps, his position had adjusted his aura.

After a while, Luo Chen opened his eyes.

Looking at the two of them, his tone was casual, neither cordial nor stern.

”What caused the beast tide?”

The question hit the nail on the head.

Zhou Yuanli bowed and said, ”The Spirit Vein Confinement Array of the Inner City of The Great River District was broken and a large amount of Spirit Qi spread across thousands of miles, forming a Rich Spirit Land. Therefore, some lower-order Demon Beasts followed their instincts into the Outer City District.”

”The answer I want is not this,” Luo Chen shook his head slowly.

Sima Huiniang hesitated and said, ”According to the reports below, this beast tide was mainly composed of primate-type Demon Beasts. Among the nearest mountains, only Zhouyi Mountain of the Ancient Plains Mountain Range is infested with a large number of such beasts.”

”So, the beast tide must have come from Zhouyi Mountain.”

Luo Chen’s expression darkened as he looked at the two.

”Zhouyi Mountain is hundreds of miles away from Crescent Valley. Even if the demon beasts rush here, the demon beasts, which have a strong territorial instinct, why would they abandon nearby opportunities?”
