Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1143: Chapter 448: Nascent Soul Conflict, Withering and Flourishing Mystery, Revisiting Old Places, Meeting Old Friends Again_2

”Senior Sister Cang Long, I apologize,”

”Given my limited strength and influence, I can no longer protect your path.”

”I hope you will achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Head, the Five Qi Towards the Yuan, and successfully cultivate to the Nascent Soul Path!”

Clasping his hands together in salute, Luo Chen spread his wings and flew off, skimming the ground as he made his escape.

The further he flew, the more demon beasts he encountered.

It was no longer limited to Third-rank Demon Kings; even Second Order and First Order demon beasts seemed to have received a call, heading towards the direction of the White Bone Palace.

Luo Chen flew close to the ground, his body ablaze with azure flames.

Wherever he passed, he left a trail of life carved from blood and fire.

...

Half a month later!

A huge mass of azure demonic clouds suddenly flew across the sky.

As they moved, they let out furious screeches.

The wind howled, bending the dense forest trees askew, creating utter chaos.

After a long period,

From within the undergrowth below, a shadow emerged from an aged tree root, his presence completely concealed, almost as if he were a piece of rotting wood.

Looking up towards the direction where the azure demonic clouds had disappeared, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

”It was difficult enough escaping from Great Snow Mountain, and yet as soon as I entered the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, I attracted the attention of a Third Order Varshni Eagle.”

”Fortunately, such demon beasts aren’t that sensitive to aura.”

”Otherwise, I, Luo Chen, would not have been able to shake off this demon so easily.”

This person was none other than Luo Chen, who had recently caused quite a stir in Great Snow Mountain.

After eluding the pursuit of the Seven-Ring Snow Python, he had stealthily made his way into the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.

However, he did not expect that the transformation of his Sky Roc True Body would draw the notice of the Varshni Eagle, another flying demon beast.

Luckily!

Although this demon beast was fast and strong, its tracking ability was not very acute.

He relied on his Finalization level Concealing Breath Mantra and Turtle Spirit Armor to quickly dive into the dense forest and by continuously altering his breath, he evaded the tracking of the Varshni Eagle.

But even so,

His current state had also reached an extreme low.

His Spirit Power was nearly depleted, and the robust vitality within him was almost gone.

Under such conditions, his once formidable body could no longer force the transformation of the Sky Roc True Body.

”This place is still not very safe; I should find somewhere to recuperate first,”

Looking around tiredly, Luo Chen chose the direction with the weakest Spirit Qi fluctuation and leapt towards it.

He didn’t use any technique, but simply the most basic Qing Gong Carefree Wandering.

A figure hopped and darted through the forest and soon disappeared from sight.

...

”Eh, it’s actually a cute little rabbit.”

”It’s a pity it’s in the wild; otherwise, it could be made into hand-pulled rabbit that Master likes to eat,” Bai Meiling muttered to herself.

She casually emitted a stream of Ghost Qi, knocking the small rabbit, which had just ascended to a First Order demon beast, unconscious.

Then, after surveying the surroundings, she quietly returned to her cave in the mountainside.

As soon as she entered, a gaze as tangible as reality fell upon her.

”Master, you’re awake!”

Far from being startled, Bai Meiling approached cheerfully.

Sitting on a meditation mat in the cave, Luo Chen slowly nodded.

”How long has it been?”

After calculating on her fingers, Bai Meiling said, ”You’ve been healing for a month.”

Another month has passed?

Luo Chen murmured to himself.

Sweeping his Spirit Consciousness over himself, he couldn’t help but sigh.

His condition was a bit better than before, but the improvement was limited; he had only recovered about one-tenth or one-twelfth of his strength.

At this point, he might struggle to deal with even a Second Order Late Period demon beast, much less a Third-rank Demon King. Killing one would be one thing, but attracting the attention of other demon beasts...

The problem is that there are simply too few healing-related materials in the storage ring.

Over the past month, Luo Chen had consumed all the ordinary Qi Unifying Pills and Top Grade Blood Increase Pills he carried with him.

He did not use the Dustfall Pills.

He urgently needed Blood Pills to recover his vital energy.

Otherwise, relying solely on Spirit Power, he wouldn’t be able to activate the Third Order Flying Technique Nine Thousand Miles.

Speaking of Nine Thousand Miles,

A look of regret crossed Luo Chen’s face; the Fiery Cloud Wings he had asked the cultivators of Bai Lian Mountains to forge had completely broken down under the strain and were now useless.

As a result, his flying speed while in human form would probably be reduced by half.

It would be only slightly faster than that of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

If only there hadn’t been that subsequent escape!

Luo Chen shook his head, no longer dwelling on these matters.

Actually, the signs had been there long before. Ever since he entered the Great Snow Mountain, Fu Jiusheng had mentioned more than once the changes in the safe route.

Too many lower-order demon beasts had migrated from their original habitats.

Looking at it now, it’s likely these low-rank demon beasts, naturally perceptive to danger, sensed some kind of disaster.

And that source of danger was evidently the Thunder Tribulation brought on by Ascendant Master Cang Long’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul.

”She not only requested True Master Han Zhan as her protector but also made use of the Moonlight Ice Castle, an Ascendant Grade magic item of the sect.”

”Moreover, Jueqing Fairy, Ascendant Master Yin Yue, Bo Shuang...”

Luo Chen voiced the names of the Golden Core Stage Cultivators from the Ice Castle, one by one.

If he had not misjudged, each of the eight levels of the Moonlight Ice Castle was presided over by a Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

For her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, Senior Sister Cang Long had deployed all the resources of the sect!

”I wonder if she succeeded?”

Luo Chen hoped she did.

Not only because he would gain a mighty ally if Cang Long successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage,

But also because she was indeed a good person.

Of the many High Order Cultivators he had met, she was one of only two who had treated him with kindness.
