Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 996: Chapter 403: The Imminent Destruction of Luo Tian, Taking the Third Order Dragon Transformation Pill_3

Luo Chen frowned as he thought about the situations that might arise at that time, feeling somewhat indecisive for a moment.

Having a Golden Core Ascendant Master at the helm versus not having one was completely different.

This somewhat disrupted the rhythm he had when he was confidently waiting to see how things would unfold.

While he was contemplating these matters, Sima Huiniang suddenly mentioned something.

”The Ascendant Grade Dragon Rise Pill supplied by Budding Cultivator Tao for you has arrived today.”

”Hmm, just give it to me,” Luo Chen said offhand, as he did indeed have some shortage of elixirs.

His ability to assimilate was too good, and the elixirs that he once thought were just enough were now in much greater demand.

Moreover, he felt a vague sense that the Dragon Rise Pill was becoming less effective for him.

Recently, he had started to consume Qi Unifying Pills and other Second Order Lower Grade Pills in large quantities.

If quality wasn’t enough, he’d make it up with quantity!

Suddenly, Luo Chen looked up at Sima Huiniang.

The other party nodded lightly, ”This time, the person delivering the pill is none other than Tao Wen herself!”

”She actually came to Tian Lan Immortal City?” Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Immediately, he grasped the implication of Huiniang’s words.

”Where is Tao Wen now?”

”She’s inside the store of Qingdan Valley, claiming to inspect the operation of the various stores in the big Immortal Cities. However, I suspect her true purpose is also for the Immortal City rotation power,” said Hui Niang.

Luo Chen’s eyes flashed as he silently made a decision in his heart.

...

That very day!

Luo Chen disguised himself and quietly descended the mountain, heading straight for Qingdan Hall.

After he exhibited his Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation level and requested to purchase a large quantity of First Order Meridian Protection Pills at Qingdan Hall, the cultivator there welcomed him into the VIP room.

Once inside, he took out the guest badge from the Tao Family and infused it with Spirit Power before closing his eyes to rest.

A while later, when he opened his eyes, Tao Wen happened to push the door and enter.

Their four eyes met, and they shared a knowing smile.

”Indeed, I knew Friend was not one to be trifled with, you wouldn’t perish in the Divine Transformation Relics.”

Tao Wen, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, now appeared even more impressive than before.

Her attire was not only more luxurious and grand, her demeanor already had the air of a future Sect Leader of a Great Sect.

Especially her realm!

She had advanced rapidly and seemed not far from reaching the stage of Foundation Establishment Finalization!

Luo Chen stood up and bowing with his fists, performed a cultivator’s courtesy.

”These past years, Friend has not cut off my supply of Dragon Rise Pills, for which I must express my thanks.”

Tao Wen smiled, extended her hand to invite him to sit.

Once both were seated, she leisurely spoke, ”You came for the Immortal City rotation issue, I assume!”

”Partly correct, and partly incorrect,” Luo Chen responded.

Tao Wen pursed her lips, speaking indifferently, ”It seems the incorrect part has to do with that Ascendant Master of the Flame Alliance?”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”Your intelligence is sharp; indeed, you cannot be deceived.”

The woman shook her head, sighing.

”I don’t know much about the inside story of this matter, and this time, I’m merely a bystander supporting from the sidelines. The crux lies in the negotiations between the Ascendant Masters from Ailao Mountain and the Flame Alliance.”

Luo Chen frowned, ”Haven’t the two Ascendant Sects sent anyone?”

”I’m not too sure about that,” Tao Wen also showed a puzzled expression, ”The actions of the two Ascendant Sects are quite baffling to us from the Golden Core Great Sects. Despite jointly developing Divine Transformation Relics, they have yet to declare a ceasefire and appear on the verge of restarting the war at any sign of conflict. Even the operation of the Immortal City, which involves capturing huge profits, seems to be ignored, left to us to discuss amongst ourselves.”

In fact, not only was Tao Wen puzzled.

Even Luo Chen had been increasingly unable to comprehend the intentions of the two Ascendant Sects over the years.

If it was to weaken the power of the five Great Sects to clear space for the development of Luo Yun Sect,

it made no sense for the plan to stop midway.

”Could it be because I activated the Divine Transformation Relics, which caused some oversight?” Luo Chen wondered silently.

Looking at the equally puzzled Tao Wen, Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to share his original speculation with her.

”You’re suggesting that the inner conflict of Yu Ding was to exhaust the strength of us Golden Core Great Sects?”

Tao Wen appeared thoughtful and then shook her head, ”This has been speculated by the Elders in our sect too, but seeing that the disciples of the two Ascendant Sects also suffered casualties, it doesn’t quite make sense.”

Who stages a play only to become a casualty in it!

Luo Chen reminded, ”What if it’s about your Qingdan Valley’s highly promising Pill Valley that might elevate to a Fourth Order Spirit Land?”

”This!”

Tao Wen’s expression slightly shifted.

She really hadn’t thought in that direction.

Or to put it another way, even the higher-ups within Qingdan Valley hadn’t considered it either.

It was not for lack of intelligence, but rather because being in the middle of it all, they were unable to see the whole picture.

After all, that Spirit Land was currently only Second Order.

That a Nascent Soul True Cultivator would covet a Second Order Spirit Land—nobody would believe it if you told them.

But in the series of conjectures made by Luo Chen, there was indeed a possibility!

”Thank you for informing me, Friend. I will report this matter to the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder in our sect as soon as possible,” Tao Wen sincerely thanked him.

Luo Chen waved his hand, ”There is no need, for it may just be an overreaction on my part.”

”Since it pertains to my sect’s rise and fall, even an overreaction must be met with preparation,” Tao Wen said gravely, bowing to Luo Chen once more, ”Thank you for the reminder, Brother Luo.”

Luo Chen shook his head; after all, he was nominally supported by the Tao Family of Qingdan Valley.

He had reaped quite a few benefits from elixirs on regular occasions.

The Luo Tian Creed had successively produced five or six new Foundation Establishment True Cultivators over the past few years, with the Meridian Protection Pill from Qingdan Valley playing no small part.

He still understood the meaning of reciprocation.
