Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1139: Chapter 447: Cang Long’s Tribulation, Arrival of the White Bones

The continuous mountain group, peaks crowding around like a gathering.

The vast expanse of ten thousand li, covered in white snow as far as the eye can see.

An unremarkable and low hill, barren of spirit veins and vegetation, a rare sight of barrenness inside the Great Snow Mountain.

Such a place doesn’t even merit a glance from demon beasts.

Therefore, for humans, it’s actually a safe haven.

In fact, this route is indeed the secure path the group of five rogue cultivators took to enter the Great Snow Mountain to harvest and refine pills.

Within a man-made cave inside the belly of the mountain.

An ancient figure sat cross-legged within, eyes tightly shut, spirit consciousness extending out as far as possible.

Suddenly!

His eyelids trembled, and he opened those time-worn eyes.

”They’re out!”

Murmuring to himself, his hands swiftly formed seals and his spirit power surged within.

And in the center of the immortal mansion, a huge compass was clicking as its needle spun.

Around the compass were at least medium-grade level spirit stones and, astonishingly, three Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones embedded on the compass itself.

At that moment, as the old man manipulated the spiritual secrets and a great amount of spirit power converged from the spirit stones.

The compass needle finally stopped in one direction.

And that direction was exactly where Myriad Snake Cave lay.

”It’s coming, it’s almost here...”

The elder suppressed the restlessness in his heart and focused intently, manipulating the array at his feet.

Suddenly!

He raised a single palm straight at his chest, his left hand supporting the right.

”Array, activate!”

The next instant!

Beams of light shot up from the ground, emanating a vast and formidable power that spread out from him at the center.

As for him, as the central light pillar shot upward, it propelled him out of the small hill to hang midair.

”Friend, please stay... hmm?”

Fu Jiusheng’s words came to an abrupt halt.

In his sight, a colossal creature with a body three zhang tall and feathered wings spread nearly ten zhang wide observed him coldly.

The white scales that resembled feathers on it were tattered and worn, and its formidable body bore holes as though impaled by sharp objects.

Blood that seemed about to drip was being drawn back by a force filled with vigorous vitality.

If that were all, it would have been fine.

Unfortunately, the man was enveloped in fiery red glints with traces of blue flames twisting among them.

These flames, even from a great distance, made one feel as if their body might burn up and turn to ashes.

A pair of cold eyes, deep as bottomless pools, stared intently at him.

”Friend Fu, what do you intend by blocking my path in such a manner?”

Fu Jiusheng’s face showed a cunning expression, but seeing Luo Chen’s fluctuating aura, he felt a certain eagerness.

Luo Chen looked at him coldly with a sneer, ”Could it be that you’re in cahoots with that Seven-Ring Snow Python, intending to bury Luo Someone here in the Snow Mountain?”

”Seven-Ring Snow Python!”

Fu Jiusheng blurted out.

Then, he clearly felt the massive demon qi from the direction of Myriad Snake Cave, rapidly approaching like a storm.

If it were only Luo Chen, in his current state, if he were to combine his efforts with an array...

No!

Luo Chen’s escape speed was too fast; capturing him would not be a matter of a short time.

And if the Seven-Ring Snow Python arrived, by then, even he might end up in a predicament.

Fu Jiusheng’s expression changed continuously.

Especially when he noticed Luo Chen’s aura suddenly becoming more focused and starting to rise, he finally steadied his mind.

”You misunderstand, friend!”

”I set up this big formation merely to assist you all.”

”You have helped me with pill refinement in the past, how could I do such things that would hurt the ones close to me and please the foes?”

Luo Chen’s expression eased slightly, not showing whether he truly believed or was simply feigning belief.

He turned to glance behind him, flapped his feathered wings, and flew toward Fu Jiusheng.

As they passed by each other, Luo Chen suddenly halted.

”Is there something else?”

Grinding his teeth, Fu Jiusheng threw a roll of beast skin.

”There has been a change in the Snow Mountain, the way back is no longer safe, this is a map of the Great Snow Mountain I’ve compiled, I hope it proves somewhat useful to you,” he said.

After speaking, he looked at Luo Chen cautiously.

Luo Chen peered at him intently, grabbed the map, and then headed straight away.

After he had left.

Fu Jiusheng couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

If you strike at a serpent and fail to kill it, you suffer its vengeance.

Hopefully, Luo Chen truly embodies the attributes of the Fire Spirit Lord, and seeing that he neither acted against him nor failed to compensate, he won’t pursue the matter.

”Being the yellow bird is truly not an easy task!” he muttered with a bitter smile, as the light pillars that spread in all directions suddenly converged, encasing Fu Jiusheng in a compass-shaped light formation.

Then the light sphere plummeted to the ground, and after reaching the earth’s depths, it instantly vanished without a trace.

It was the Earth Escape Technique from the Five Elements Escape Technique, the most practical of them all!

Not long after the two of them disappeared.

A massive python traversed the mountains and lands to arrive.

It did not chase Luo Chen by controlling demon clouds, but by crawling with its demonic power combined with physical movement, which actually made it faster.

Upon arriving, it seemed momentarily at a loss.

But as it flicked its long forked tongue and retracted it, a vicious light erupted in its eyes.

”Human, you are on a path to your own demise!”

...

In the sky.

A fiery red glint cut through the air.

Its speed was so fast, it demanded attention.

But among these beast-infested wild Snow Mountains, it was too domineering and reckless.

If not for its appearance resembling a Third Order demon beast of the peng species, many beasts lurking in the Snow Mountain would have already struck.

Still, its path stirred up waves of disturbance.

As Luo Chen flew, he unfolded the scroll of beast skin.

It was indeed a map!

”That Fu Jiusheng really played a clever move!”
