Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1075: Chapter 426: Turmoil within the Flame Alliance, Luo Chen Approaches the Incense Burning Ceremony (Seeking Monthly Votes!!!)

That night.

Elder Qin Tairan of the Flame Alliance, openly tore through the rules of Immortal City, personally took action within the city, and destroyed a black market.

Some said it was a property of the Luo Yun Sect, a counterattack initiated by the Flame Alliance.

Others said Elder Qin Tairan was envious of an item auctioned in the black market and shamelessly used force to snatch it.

There were also rumors suggesting that the black market spread a lot of rumors detrimental to the Flame Alliance, which incited Elder Qin of the Flame Alliance to kill in anger.

In any case, that evening, several Golden Core Ascendant Masters from beyond the realm flew out from the black market, glaring at Qin Tairan with indignation.

If not for the home ground advantage of the other party, a great battle would have surely erupted.

Luo Chen, who did not attend the auction in person, only received accurate news the next morning from a disheveled Tian Xingzi.

”The information you wanted us to release has all been put out.”

”Here, these are the Spirit Stones after auctioning off the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade, a total of twenty-three Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones.”

Clutching the Storage Bag handed over by Tian Xingzi, Luo Chen appeared to smile but not smile as he looked at him.

He made the other party quite uncomfortable with his gaze.

Thunder Jade, Fourth Order material.

Ordinary Magic Items would not include this material, only the crafting of a Natal Magic Item would add a small amount of ten-year Thunder Jade.

When it comes to crafting a Natal Magic Item, the price is no longer similar to that of common Lower Grade Magic Items.

As one of the main materials, the usual price of Thunder Jade starts from one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

And Hundred-Year Thunder Jade is already considered top quality among Fourth Order mineral materials!

Twenty-three Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones, that is, two hundred and thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

That price, it’s not low, but it’s certainly not high either.

Facing Luo Chen’s mocking gaze, Tian Xingzi mentioned uneasily, ”According to your instructions, besides releasing the information, we used Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones for the payment. As for the identity of the customer who bought the Thunder Jade, it’s rather difficult for us to disclose that.”

Luo Chen smiled and did not press for more.

His main goal had been achieved, a slight loss mattered little in the grand scheme.

Whether the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade was embezzled by Zhenlong Black Market itself was none of his concern.

He clicked his tongue twice, ”It seems Elder Qin Tairan’s sudden act last night really caught you off guard!”

Tian Xingzi casually said, ”It was nothing more than a desperate leap of an anxious dog, an impotent fury.”

Luo Chen nodded in agreement.

Indeed!

The current Flame Alliance, neither daring to retaliate against the Luo Yun Sect nor to bare its teeth at the Sword Sect, could only lick its wounds at home.

With a swarm of flies buzzing around, ready to descend and suck blood at any moment.

How could the Flame Alliance not be annoyed, not be furious?

But to take action within its own Immortal City, breaking the rules and destroying the long-established commercial atmosphere—it was truly unforeseen.

”It looks like the people of the Flame Alliance are really panicking now,” murmured Luo Chen.

Tian Xingzi curiously looked at him.

”When do you plan to make your move?”

”Isn’t the time already set?”

Tian Xingzi was taken aback as he recalled the time point Luo Chen had mentioned before.

One month later!

He could not help but say, ”Releasing the exact time in advance, aren’t you afraid the Flame Alliance will prepare early?”

”Prepare early?” Luo Chen shook his head and scoffed, ”How much can they really prepare? Call for help? In the Yu Ding Realm, the Four Sects Alliance, led by the Luo Yun Sect, are their enemies, and the Hundred Flowers Palace remains neutral. In other words, the only place they can seek help from is the Yu Ding Sword Sect.”

”As for the Sword Sect, whether I spread the word or not, if they want to help the Flame Alliance, they will surely be able to do so. By then, not to mention the forces I’ve gathered, even if the other sects all come together, it might not be enough to take down the Flame Alliance.”

”And if the Sword Sect doesn’t help, then this one month will only lead the Flame Alliance Cultivators to greater despair!”

”I want to see them in despair!”

Towards the end, the man’s mouth was already unknowingly adorned with a hint of cruelty in his smile.

Watching this, Tian Xingzi felt a chill in his heart.

Luo Chen’s thoughts were deeper, his methods increasingly cruel and thorough.

He had considered everything, inside and out.

Even the mindset of the enemy was part of his calculations.

Was this really a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator?

Even a Sect Disciple from a Great Sect or a Golden Core Cultivator would find it difficult to take everything into account!

Feeling alarmed, he specially reminded Luo Chen, ”If you delay too long, the Flame Alliance will have ample time to summon all its scattered sect disciples back. By then, things might be even more troublesome.”

However!

Luo Chen was indifferent to this.

”So what!”

”It’s just giving me the chance to catch them all in one net!”

Tian Xingzi opened his mouth but could find no rebuttal.

Looking at the supremely confident Luo Chen, he could only say one thing in the end.

”Although the Luo Yun Sect can’t take action, they can still connect you with a few Golden Core Cultivators. But don’t count on these people; whether they are willing to take action depends on the situation of your frontal battlefield.”

Luo Chen’s eyebrows rose.

This was an unexpected pleasure!

And as for these fair-weather friends, the more the merrier!

...

While Luo Chen and Tian Xingzi were negotiating,

In the Flame Alliance, Burning Incense Valley.

The once grandeur of the Great Sect and the splendor of the Immortal’s realm were hard to come by again.

What remained was only ruins and devastation.

Large swaths of buildings had collapsed, and countless huge craters dotted the interior of Burning Incense Valley.

The Lower Order Cultivators walking amongst this mess all had panic on their faces.

Even the slightest disturbance prompted a flurry of inquiries.

A Glint streaked from outside into the valley.

It paused in midair, slowing down deliberately to reveal itself, engaging the attention of the Lower Order Disciples.
