Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 952: Chapter 388: It’s Really You, Luo Chen!_2

”This place is causing too much commotion, better to settle this quickly!”

With that thought, the Xuanhuo Sword suddenly appeared.

”How can you wield three Magic Tools at the same time?”

In the midst of the enemy’s horrified gaze, the Xuanhuo Sword flew out, then cleaved down upon his head.

Shh!

The body split in two.

”We’ve won!”

Turning his head, Luo Chen looked at Qin Yuanjiang and the other two with surprised eyes.

But three First Level Foundation Establishment cultivators, working together, had actually managed to kill a Fourth Level Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Is this the excellence of inner sect disciples from a Great Sect?

Under Luo Chen’s astonished gaze, the panting Qin Yuanjiang, who had a close brush with death, stood up.

His face showed some strain, but he eventually spoke, ”Luo... Uncle, thank you for saving us.”

Hearing that, Luo Chen’s lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

”Rest for now. More enemies might arrive very soon.”

Qin Yuanjiang hummed in agreement and immediately took an Elixir to recover his Spirit Power.

The other two disciples, however, were watching Luo Chen with complex expressions.

Luo Chen ignored them, walking around the battlefield to collect the spoils of war.

When he stood in front of a cultivator’s mutilated corpse, he suddenly said, ”Aren’t you going to collect your fellow disciple’s body?”

Qin Yuanjiang and his party were taken aback, but then they began to move.

Watching this scene, Luo Chen shook his head inwardly.

Still just three fledglings, huh!

Hopefully, they’ll have grown a bit after this battle!

After he had gathered the spoils of war, Chu Kui had already hurried back.

”Done!”

”That old fellow wasn’t of high realm, but he had quite a few tricks up his sleeve, giving me quite a bit of trouble.”

”Luo Chen, how did things go on your side?”

Luo Chen replied, ”Everything’s been taken care of. Let’s go!”

Seeing that he was about to leave,

Qin Yuanjiang and the others hesitated to speak.

Glancing at them, Luo Chen sighed.

”It’s not wise to linger here. Better leave as soon as possible. Also, try not to stray from the main force in the future. These affiliated rogue cultivators may not be of high realm, but they are deep and crafty. Next time, if you encounter terrain that obviously counters your puppets, don’t tread in so easily.”

After saying that, without waiting for a response, he and Chu Kui quickly flew off.

Watching their departing figures, Qin Yuanjiang silently bowed.

When he stood up, the restlessness in his eyes was gone, and he appeared to have become steadier.

”Senior Brother Qin, who was that senior?”

”You called him uncle, but isn’t his surname Luo?”

Qin Yuanjiang shook his head.

”I’ll tell you about that later. Let’s bring back our fellow brothers’ bodies and quickly find the Elders!”

The two nodded.

But curiosity still filled their eyes.

Luo Chen, Dan Chenzi?

Could it be the famous Pill Refinement Grandmaster from the Yu Ding Realm?

Why is his strength also so formidable?

The Technique he used earlier was earth-shaking and absolutely not something an Ordinary Foundation Building True Cultivator could perform.

...

Two days later.

Above the Ten Thousand Li of Flowing Sand Wasteland.

Two figures, dusty and travel-worn, made their way across.

”No good, there are fewer and fewer small enemy forces on the wasteland. Hunting like this won’t be enough to gather the remaining two thousand Merit Points!”

Chu Kui wore an irritated expression.

Luo Chen was silently calculating their current Merit Points.

After days of effort, he and Chu Kui had already amassed a whopping eight thousand Merit Points!

This achievement was astonishing.

It meant that at least dozens of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators had fallen at their hands.

Ambush, assassination, strong assault, snatching kills...

They had nearly exhausted all the methods they could use.

But it was still not enough.

”Before long, you will leave the front line and head to the rear.”

Chu Kui spoke anxiously, ”Based on your analysis, once the Four Sects Alliance conquers The Eighth Mountain, they are very likely to halt their offensive, returning to the initial tug-of-war stalemate with the Sword Sect.”

”If that happens, how long will we have to wait to gather the remaining Merit Points?”

”Luo Chen, say something!”

Suddenly!

Luo Chen stopped in his tracks.

Allowing the windswept sand to hit him, his face framed by disheveled whiskers, he looked towards the towering thunder mountain shrouded with gathering dark clouds and surging with Evil Qi.

Meeting his gaze, Chu Kui’s pupils shrank.

”You’re not thinking of going to the main battlefield, are you?”

Luo Chen remained silent, still pondering and weighing in his heart.

Chu Kui, anxious, said, ”You yourself have said that the current main battlefield is like a meat grinder. The two Ascendant Sects simply don’t regard their followers and rogue cultivators as human. If we go there...”

”Are you scared?” Luo Chen suddenly asked.

Chu Kui was taken aback, his face flushing red in an instant.

”Do you think I’d be scared?”

Before The Great Dao Path, Chu Kui would never back down!

If he had been afraid, he would never have sought out Luo Chen to begin with.

Luo Chen nodded, ”If that’s the case, then let’s seize this sole opportunity!”

Seeing him take a step, Chu Kui grabbed his arm.

”I’m not afraid, but you and I are different. You’re still young, with a reputation preceding you. Even without taking risks, with your connection to the Ice Castle, you still have a great chance of Core Formation.”

”If it really doesn’t work out, just give up for now. Leave me alone on the battlefield. With a few more years, I will surely gather the remaining two thousand Merit Points.”

Luo Chen looked at his arm.

Chu Kui understandingly let go.

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, the man in the red robe remained exceedingly calm.

”I have never been to the Ice Castle, and whether they would assist me wholeheartedly in Core Formation is still a matter with two possible outcomes. Even if they assist me fully, they will definitely want something in return, and at that time, my ties with them will only become deeper.”

Why wouldn’t it be good to become more deeply tied to a Golden Core Great Sect?

Chu Kui didn’t understand.

Luo Chen would not divulge his speculations about the actions of the two Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects one by one.
