Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1192: Chapter 461: Golden Core Ceremony!_2

Qin Yuanjiang respectfully received the black iron piece.

He knew that his mother actually had some lingering attachment to the Luo Tian Creed.

It was a power that she had personally gathered and nurtured from its inception.

Once a minor power barely known in The Great River District, it had now become a first-rate major power, boasting a Golden Core Ascendant Master; his mother was undoubtedly very proud.

”Besides the congratulatory gift, is there anything else Mother would like me to relay?”

Murong Qinglian thought for a moment, as if picturing something, and with a smile in her eyes, she said, ”There’s not much else to say, just wish the esteemed Supreme Luo Tian continued success so that one day he might advance to the Nascent Soul Realm and awe the Eastern Wasteland!”

Qin Yuanjiang was momentarily stunned, somewhat perplexed.

For a cultivator to achieve the Golden Core Realm was already no small feat.

Even in his Luo Yun Ascendant Sect, over the years, only Supreme Elder Han Zhan had achieved the status of a True Master.

Not to mention Luo Chen, who came from the background of a rogue cultivator.

But seeing the smile on his mother’s face, he carefully committed her words to memory.

”Mother certainly understands Uncle Luo better than I do, recognizing his lofty ambitions, and not content to stop at the Golden Core Period. From my few encounters with Uncle Luo, he is indeed a man of great talent and vision. These words of congratulations truly hit the mark, far more suitable than those congratulating mere Golden Core Success.”

With these thoughts flickering through his mind, Qin Yuanjiang bowed deeply.

”This son has noted it.”

...

That day, Qin Yuanjiang left the Luo Yun Sect and, together with his junior sister Ruan Huan ’Er from the sect leader, headed directly to Danxia Peak.

Along the way, Junior Sister Huan ’Er often wanted to stop to explore and play, but he refused her each time.

Despite her coaxing, getting angry, or being unreasonable, he paid no heed and kept his focus solely on reaching Danxia Peak and the Luo Tian Sect.

Amid her complaints, it didn’t take long for them to reach their destination.

However, upon arrival, he paused at the foot of Danxia Peak and did not advance, turning instead to head for Tian Lan Immortal City.

”Senior brother, why not present the gift and congratulatory message together and then enjoy ourselves for a while?”

Faced with Huan ’Er’s curiosity, Qin Yuanjiang seriously replied, ”It’s not yet the right time. When the Golden Core Ceremony comes, then we will offer our congratulations, which could augment the prestige of the Luo Tian Sect.”

”Oh!”

The girl nodded her head, though her tilted head still showed her curiosity.

”Then why not go up first to meet your uncle? I heard he’s become quite famous—even Brother Han Zheng can’t match half of his renown.”

Qin Yuanjiang replied, ”Uncle Luo has only recently emerged from seclusion and must be incredibly busy; I would not dare to delay him. The priority is to hand our sect’s gift to Senior Uncle Qu. You wanted to experience the flair of the Immortal Cultivation World, right? After we handle this, I’ll take you for a proper tour.”

”Mmm, Huan ’Er will follow senior brother’s lead.”

Ruan Huan ’Er did not question Qin Yuanjiang this time.

She used to like the Qin senior brother who, even during the Qi Refinement Stage, could take her up mountains and down rivers, playing everywhere.

But the current Qin senior brother, though somewhat foreign to her, brought her more of a sense of security.

Since the battles at Accumulation Thunder Mountain and the surprise attack on the Flame Alliance.

She noticed that Qin senior brother had become increasingly steady, and his considerations for things had also grown much more thorough.

This senior brother, perhaps less fun than before, was now more reliable.

Actually, her father had not thought highly of senior brother before, but after these events, he began to see him in a new light.

Subsequently.

They first went to Tian Lan Immortal City, where Senior Uncle Qu Xibai, amidst his busy schedule, met them briefly, then let them roam freely.

The only admonition was not to cause trouble.

The Open War had already commenced, and countless cultivators from the Foreign Realms were passing through Tian Lan Immortal City to head to the front lines.

If they accidentally provoked some arrogant cultivator, that person would not care about the backing of any great or ascendant sect behind them; to rob and then flee was a common occurrence.

Qin Yuanjiang duly took this to heart.

Thus, when taking Ruan Huan ’Er sightseeing, they mainly stayed close to Tian Lan Immortal City.

In this way, time quietly passed by.

The Luo Tian Sect’s Golden Core Ceremony, too, gradually commenced amidst the anticipation of many.

...

This day, the sun shone brightly, marking an auspicious time.

Early in the morning, Ruan Huan ’Er dragged Qin Yuanjiang to the huge temporary square at the base of Danxia Peak.

Qin Yuanjiang was somewhat helpless about this, as he could have acted alongside his senior uncle.

But his junior sister was adamant!

”What’s the point of attending together? It’s just Glints flying around; it’s better to get there first and see the grandeur from another perspective.”

Indeed!

That kind of participation wasn’t much fun.

Previously, the Luo Yun Sect also held a Golden Core Ceremony, and although guests kept coming, having seen it several times from the host’s perspective, it was no longer novel.

Qin Yuanjiang also wanted to see how it would be, watching Uncle Luo’s Golden Core Ceremony from another angle from start to finish.

The two arrived early.

But others had arrived even earlier.

Near Tian Lan Immortal City, many low-rank rogue cultivators had run to the mountain early in the morning to join in the excitement.

For these low-rank rogue cultivators, witnessing a Golden Core Cultivator’s ceremony was a once-in-a-lifetime event.

If they could personally witness it, it could be a story for life.

And if by some lucky chance they were noticed by a powerful individual and gained an opportunity, it would be an incredibly fortunate occurrence.

The two mixed in among the rogue cultivators, waiting for the Luo Tian Sect celebrations to begin.

As the sun gradually rose, aside from the clouds and mist slowly dispersing around Danxia Peak, there were no other phenomena.

The absence of any phenomenon, however, sparked discussions.
