Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1150: Chapter 450: Unite the Strength of the Entire Sect, Aid One in Pill Formation_3

But regarding the division of spoils after the war, that would be a significant problem.

The cake was only so big, so how could the Luo Yun Sect, as the leader, be content with a mere one-twenty-seventh share?

The Yu Ding Sword Sect had endured for so many years and could no longer bear it.

He didn’t believe that True Master Han Zhan from the Luo Yun Sect was such a short-sighted person.

If it were up to him, he’d rather suffer greater losses during the war in order to get a larger share afterwards.

One was only a short-term loss, but the other was a long-term benefit!

Suddenly!

Luo Chen remembered the scene at the White Bone Palace on Great Snow Mountain.

One Xiao Yue Mountain Range wasn’t enough to share, but if there were another Great Snow Mountain, it seemed it would be more than sufficient.

If Ascendant Master Cang Long successfully advanced to Nascent Soul and, with this momentum, simultaneously initiated the opening war of Ice Castle, then wouldn’t all these extra forces have their uses?

If this hypothesis were true.

Then it made sense for True Master Han Zhan to personally take action in protecting Ascendant Master Cang Long’s path.

Of course, whether the two had old ties, that was not a secret Luo Chen was privy to.

But if Ascendant Master Cang Long failed in advancing to Nascent Soul...

Luo Chen pursed his lips and asked, ”The business at Ice Castle is being handled by Gu Caiyi, correct?”

Xing Zonghan nodded, ”Yes, Hall Master Gu has always been in charge of that area.”

”Dispatch some of our Luo Tian Intelligence Net hands to the merchant group there, to regularly collect information about Ice Castle and report back to me.”

Xing Zonghan was puzzled, ”What kind of information?”

Luo Chen wanted to say information related to Nascent Soul True Masters.

But as the words reached his lips, he instead said, ”All information!”

In his view, if Ascendant Master Cang Long truly succeeded in breaking through, then the news would naturally be released, and there would be no need for deliberate collection.

If he failed...

”Moreover, the trade routes in Taishan District can also start to be cleared. I will explain this matter to Sima Huiniang. You go ahead and collect information from the Liuguang, Taishan, and Great River districts to prepare.”

”Yes!”

Xing Zonghan took his orders and left.

Luo Chen’s pondering gaze, however, did not cease.

The scene at The Great River District remained fresh in his memory.

In the past few days, reflecting occasionally, he vaguely discerned the truth behind the Yu Ding Sword Sect’s years of neglecting Pang Renxiong.

The opposition wasn’t ignoring the situation but rather letting it run its course, deliberately providing time for transitioning to the Path of Ghost.

Ghost Cultivation was also a form of Great Dao Path Cultivation.

As long as one did not harm the heaven’s will and senselessly slaughter, they would not be labeled as Demonic Cultivators.

But the things Pang Renxiong had done over the years were far from the orthodox methods of Ghost Cultivation.

That was why his progress was extremely fast, reaching the level of a Third-Order Ghost King in a short time, comparable to his former Golden Core Cultivation.

Previously, the Yu Ding Sword Sect didn’t intervene because it was difficult to do so.

If they did intervene, then he wouldn’t have been able to recklessly pursue his rapid cultivation method, given the Yu Ding Sword Sect also had the doctrine of exorcizing demons and defending the path.

By not intervening, when the time came, they could directly see the results.

Now, the Sword Sect had sent Foundation Establishment Cultivators to assist Pang Renxiong in his cultivation.

It seems they also had in mind to completely resolve this matter before the onset of the war for Open Territory in forty years.

After all, when that time came, with so many voices, the cultivators from other sects wouldn’t care about the Sword Sect’s intentions and would only call for strikes and kills.

As Luo Chen sorted out these affairs.

Other people gradually entered the grand hall.

Sima Huiniang and Duan Feng walked in.

”Chairman, you’re back? Did everything go smoothly on your trip?” Sima Huiniang asked with concern.

With their perception, they still couldn’t detect the condition Luo Chen was in now.

Luo Chen naturally chose to share only the good news, not the worries.

After a casual conversation, he brought up the matter of opening the trade route from the Luo Tian Creed to Taishan District.

”Once Open War begins, alongside Xiao Yue Mountain Range, the four districts, Liuguang, Taishan, The Great River, and Xuelian, will inevitably become the most critical Bridgehead Forts.”

”The interests involved are immeasurable!”

”Our Luo Tian Creed, being minor, definitely can’t occupy the lion’s share of the benefits. But if we take action first and gain some advantage, it would always be beneficial. Even merely sipping some broths, everyone would benefit endlessly!”

”So, this matter, which has long been proposed, must be acted upon.”

Listening to him, Sima Huiniang nodded emphatically.

”I’ve had the same thoughts. It was only because of the Enforcement Teams from Luo Yun and Yu Ding that I’ve been restraining this impulse.”

Luo Chen chuckled, ”We don’t need to worry about those rules, which only restrict the large powers above Golden Core. Moreover, this time we act not under the guise of clearing trade routes.”

Sima Huiniang paused.

”Then under what guise?”

Luo Chen looked towards Duan Feng beside him.

”The guise of vengeance!”

Duan Feng seemed to have already grasped the matter and nodded slightly, ”I have a vendetta with the Bo Family of Liuguang District. Now that my cultivation has progressed, it is time to avenge my father. No matter who comes, they won’t be able to say a word against it.”

Sima Huiniang instantly understood and revealed a bright smile.

”In that case, I’ll make arrangements right away!”

”No, we must be more cautious,” Luo Chen shook his head, bringing up his observations on the way back. ”There are not a few smart people with this intention. As far as I’ve seen, Liuguang District has already seen an influx of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, clearly the vanguard of other forces. So, it’s okay if we don’t engage, but if we do, it has to be decisive.”

In front of the two, Luo Chen took out a scroll from his Storage Bag.

Upon seeing the scroll for the first time, Duan Feng’s eyes immediately widened.
