Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1073: Chapter 425: Miscreants, How Dare You Make Trouble in My Flame Alliance! (Requesting Monthly Votes)

Tian Xingzi’s visit was unexpected.

But Luo Chen did not show any surprise.

It wasn’t that he had anticipated Tian Xingzi’s arrival; rather, even if it hadn’t been Tian Xingzi, it would have been another cultivator from the Luo Yun Sect at the Zhenlong Black Market here.

The confidence he had stemmed naturally from the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade he had put up for auction.

This rare material was fatally tempting to Golden Core Cultivators!

If one were to say he had not deeply understood this before,

but seeing Fei Ming of Ailao Mountain, disregarding his status, eager to befriend Luo Chen just to acquire more Hundred-Year Thunder Jade, it was quite revealing.

It wasn’t just the Golden Core Cultivators!

Even a Nascent Soul True Master, if they encountered it, would likely not pass up on such a treasure.

And the arrival of Tian Xingzi was clearly for this Hundred-Year Thunder Jade.

”Your sect wishes to buy it in advance?” asked Luo Chen.

Tian Xingzi spoke plainly, without any intention of beating around the bush.

”Apart from exchanging what we have for what we need and earning some Spirit Stones, our main purpose at the Zhenlong Black Market is to collect corresponding resources for the eminent ones in our sect.”

”The Hundred-Year Thunder Jade is very good indeed!”

”Name your price!”

However, Luo Chen shook his head with a smile.

”Sorry, I do intend to sell this Thunder Jade, but it must be sold through an auction.”

Tian Xingzi frowned.

They were confident about securing it at an auction as well,

but that would mean not only extra costs but also potential unforeseen complications.

That’s why he had come to visit Luo Chen in private, hoping to clinch the deal ahead of time.

But Luo Chen insisted that the Thunder Jade be auctioned.

This...

”Not only that, but it must also be noted that this Hundred-Year Thunder Jade comes from the Flame Alliance! And moreover, we should release news that there are more such Hundred-Year Thunder Jade pieces within the Flame Alliance.”

Tian Xingzi looked astonished.

With a puzzled look at Luo Chen, he abruptly asked, ”Are you trying to trouble the Flame Alliance?”

”Don’t you want to as well?” Luo Chen retorted. ”If you don’t kill a snake completely, you suffer its wrath. After you’ve done what you did to them, you don’t think the Flame Alliance will just let it go, do you?”

Tian Xingzi scoffed, ”The Flame Alliance is not a traditional sect but a coalition formed by rogue cultivators, lacking any unity. It’s already been wiped out; besides, we are the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, they wouldn’t dare speak of revenge, would they?”

”Heh,” Luo Chen chuckled softly. ”Times change, who can guarantee that a brilliant individual won’t emerge from the Flame Alliance, comparable to True Master Han of your Luo Yun? Isn’t it wise to nip such dangers in the bud?”

In the world of Immortal Cultivation, there was no lack of extraordinary stories about revenge and sect establishment.

Looking more recently, the rise of both the Yu Ding Sword Sect and the Luo Yun Sect was due to the emergence of talented individuals or a brilliant generation.

If viewed extremely, what Luo Chen was doing now was also a backlash against the initial failure of the Flame Alliance to decisively deal with the Luo Tian Creed.

Tian Xingzi hesitated.

He hesitantly said, ”Such matters are not for me to worry about. Moreover...”

He paused momentarily, then admitted, ”And ever since our sect suddenly acted, it has already made the other sects of the Yu Ding Realm jittery. Even if we wanted to target the Flame Alliance further, we could no longer resort to force.”

”If you can’t, I can!” Luo Chen suddenly said with an uplifted tone. ”Although I am only a humble junior, I have a great enmity with the Flame Alliance. Why not let me be your blade to eradicate the Flame Alliance?”

”You?” Tian Xingzi looked at Luo Chen skeptically.

Luo Chen nodded solemnly, ”Yes, I! I’ve even offered such valuable item as the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade to enhance my Natal Magic Items, which shows my determination for revenge.”

Tian Xingzi looked thoughtful as he regarded him.

He was quite familiar with Luo Chen’s enmity with the Flame Alliance.

That could be described as a deep-rooted enmity!

Luo Chen was just a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, yet the Flame Alliance had consecutively sent two Golden Core Ascendant Masters to try to kill him.

In the vast Yu Ding Realm, probably only Luo Chen received such treatment.

Yet they had failed to kill him.

Luo Chen surely harbored deep resentment.

For the Flame Alliance, Luo Chen was a source of immense humiliation.

Luo Chen now offering the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade as a bait to lure outside Golden Core Cultivators against the Flame Alliance was completely plausible.

Suddenly,

Tian Xingzi smiled to himself.

”You, my boy, your argument is persuasive; you almost had me convinced,” he said.

”I came here for the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade, not to discuss a grand scheme against the Flame Alliance with you.”

Amid his laughter, he inwardly grew cautious.

Luo Chen, this young man, was becoming ever more cunning.

Even he nearly fell for his ploy.

Perhaps, his coming here was expected by Luo Chen.

After all, it was he who had managed the handover of the Zhenlong Black Market token embroidered ball in the Great River District. Luo Chen purposefully used the embroidered ball as bait, clearly intending to lure the Luo Yun Sect Disciples.

As he grew inwardly vigilant, a silver-flecked Mountain Camellia blossomed in Luo Chen’s hand.

”What is this?” asked Tian Xingzi in surprise.

”You actually have another Hundred-Year Thunder Jade?”

Luo Chen smiled contentedly, ”I never said I only had one! After all, I was the first to enter the Divine Transformation Relics. Although I didn’t scavenge other items, I did get several Thunder Jades.”

Just as he said, he indeed had a significant quantity of Thunder Jade in his hand.

There were only eighteen pieces of Thousand Years Thunder Jade.

But the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade and ordinary Thunder Jade were indeed plentiful.

Of course, it’s best not to flaunt one’s wealth too openly.

Luo Chen still tried to correct the situation, ”I don’t have many Hundred-Year Thunder Jades left; I’ve given a few to Ice Castle and Ailao Mountain. These last two were intended for my Core Formation stage Natal Magic Items. But to deal with the Flame Alliance, I can no longer afford to hold back.”
