Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1198: Chapter 462 Once the Golden Core is known to the World, transforming into a dragon at the encounter of storms and clouds_2

That is something that even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators covet!

So, who would ignore such a person?

It could be said that as long as Luo Chen didn’t actively seek death, then his future was entirely predictable.

He was on good terms with everyone, and had an extensive network of connections.

Lower Order Cultivators ingratiated themselves with him, Golden Cores from Great Sects ran errands for him, and Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects treated him with respect.

In the entire Eastern Wilderness Immortal World, Luo Chen could almost walk sideways.

”Fortunately, fortunately!”

When unnoticed, Fu Jiusheng wiped off a cold sweat.

It was good that he had made multiple efforts before to mend his relationship with Luo Chen.

Otherwise!

If the other party merely showed any displeasure with him, there would be plenty of people deliberately causing him trouble in order to make connections with Luo Chen.

Just thinking about that scenario made him shiver uncontrollably.

...

Under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Luo Chen straightened his clothes and took a step forward.

”Friend Hong Ling, Luo Someone here offers his greetings.”

”Friend Jin, coming from afar to celebrate with me, I am truly honored.”

Two greetings, one after the other.

The first to greet was, in fact, Ascendant Master Hong Ling, who had previously approached with a threatening momentum and a rather unfriendly demeanor.

This scene left people astonished.

Even Female Cultivator Hong Ling was somewhat surprised.

She frowned slightly, and even if she held resentment in her heart, it wasn’t quite appropriate for her to get angry at the moment.

One does not strike a smiling face, especially since today was Luo Chen’s home turf.

She could only hum in acknowledgment.

Seeing her lower her battle flag and suppress the anger that lurked beneath, Qu Xibai couldn’t help but regard Luo Chen even more highly.

Good lad!

With high Pill Refinement skills and strong Combat Fight capabilities, one would assume he was solely devoted to arduous cultivation.

But little did they expect his social skills to be so outstanding as well.

Despite Hong Ling’s attitude, he didn’t deliberately snub her; instead, he gave her plenty of face.

And his such behavior, upon careful thought, turned out to be the most correct one.

Because Hong Ling represented the Yu Ding Sword Sect, the ruler of the Yu Ding Realm!

If Luo Chen and his established Luo Tian Sect still wanted to survive in the Yu Ding Realm, they couldn’t afford to offend the Yu Ding Sword Sect.

Jin Buque was initially startled, but after noticing the change in Hong Ling’s demeanor, he immediately understood the situation.

He looked at Luo Chen with approval, then directly brought out his congratulatory gift.

Following Luo Chen’s lead, he said with a smile:

”It’s no long journey at all.”

”Moreover, with a genius like you achieving Core Formation, and a future so limitless, how could I not come to make your acquaintance.”

These words, however, put Luo Chen in an awkward position.

You, a Golden Core from an Ascendant Sect, even if you appreciate me, don’t need to be so humbling in your approach, do you?

What happened to the inherent arrogance that Sect Cultivators are supposed to have?

He managed a strained smile, accepting the gift.

”The Five Elements Divine Pill?”

”Indeed! Although this pill is of the Third Order, its medicinal power is no less than that of Fourth Order elixirs. Especially, it is not limited to Cultivators with a specific Spirit Root physique, and can perfectly match any of the Five Spirit Roots. I’ve heard that you possess Five Spirit Root Talent, so this pill is tailor-made for you!”

These words left Luo Chen taken aback.

In particular, the content described by the other party made him subconsciously grip the brocade box in his hand.

Unrestricted elixirs, these are extremely rare in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Like the various pills he had refined before, almost all of them had restrictions.

Jade Dew Pill limited to Female Cultivators, Dustfall Pill limited to those with robust Qi-Blood, and the Third Order Nether Origin Pill even required strong Spirit Power and a breakthrough moment to use.

If the Five Elements Divine Pill were truly as Jin Buque described, then it truly deserved the title ”Divine Pill.”

At least, in the range of Third Order elixirs, it is absolutely a divine-grade elixir!

Seeing Luo Chen’s regard for it, Jin Buque’s face also showed a smile.

Luo Chen calmed his emotions and gestured for everyone to take their seats.

He himself even floated up to the main seat.

Sima Huiniang and Gu Caiyi sat obediently on either side behind him, one dignified and majestic, the other delicate and gorgeous, not overshadowing him but instead providing excellent complementary embellishment.

As he took his seat.

It also signified the official start of today’s ceremony.

The Cultivators who had been scattered about, mingling with others, were now led by Luo Tian Sect Foundation Establishment True Cultivators to take their seats in sequence.

Luo Chen looked down at White Jade Square, at the many who came to celebrate. Even though they each had their own thoughts and purposes, at this moment, Luo Chen’s heart was full of pride and satisfaction.

After years of arduous cultivation, he had finally emerged on top!

The three great Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects, the three great Golden Core Great Sects, and the ancestral figures from first-rate forces or large-scale Immortal Cultivation Clans came one after another to congratulate him.

This was not a gathering of Sect Elders who relied on their Sect’s influence to invite guests.

These were positions he had attained all on his own.

”For a man like me, there are probably very few in the world!”

Just as he was feeling emotional and preparing his opening remarks,

beyond the mountains, two magnificent glints streaked across the sky.

”Eh?”

”Is that Elder Ye?”

Those who were knowledgeable and experienced immediately recognized one of the glints’ owners.

All eyes suddenly turned towards Luo Chen in curiosity.

Luo Chen was also somewhat taken aback. How could there be more guests?

The next moment,

”Shen Fu Sect Elder Ye Xiang, passing by this esteemed place, specifically came to ask for a cup of water wine. You wouldn’t mind, would you, friend?”

Luo Chen immediately stood up, suppressing the confusion in his heart.

”How could I mind? I’m overjoyed. Attendees, arrange a seat of honor for our friend!”

The glint converged.

An old man accompanied by one male and two female Foundation Establishment True Cultivators instantly came into view.

However, the first thing that caught Luo Chen’s attention wasn’t the old man.

It was the two women.

By his side, Gu Caiyi let out a soft exclamation.

”It’s Sister Xiu Xiu!”

Luo Chen naturally recognized the demure female cultivator immediately—

it was none other than Fu Xiuxiu, his neighbor from The Great River District’s quadrangle dwellings back then!

Not only that!

Beside her, another charming young woman was winking at Luo Chen.

Her playful and quirky demeanor sparked a strong sense of familiarity in him.

The way she behaved indicated she clearly knew Luo Chen as well.

But for a moment, Luo Chen couldn’t recall the identity of the other party.

”Could it be Xiao Shuyi?”

Suddenly,

Luo Chen remembered Elder Chen, who indeed had a granddaughter named Chen Shuyi. She had returned to the Shen Fu Realm with the Shen Fu Pavilion’s trade caravan back then.

If she had successfully completed Foundation Establishment on time, her appearance would have changed to roughly this contour.

However, now wasn’t the time to reminisce.

He turned his attention to the owner of the other glint.

”Friend Fengyue, long time no see.”

The person who arrived was none other than the master of Fenghua Palace’s Pill Tripod Court, Fengyue Fairy!

Fengyue Fairy nodded at Luo Chen.

”I apologize for the intrusion today. I brought a modest gift to congratulate you on your Core Formation success!”

After she presented the gift, Luo Tian Sect cultivators arranged for her to take a seat of honor.

Throughout this process, the surrounding cultivators were mostly in a state of shocked silence.

No one would have guessed that, following the attendance of the three Great Nascent Soul Sects, two more guests from Ascendant Sects would appear.

The scale of this celebration,

had nearly surpassed the imagination of ordinary cultivators!

Even Tao Wen, the sect leader of such a Great Sect, was feeling rather uneasy.

When she held her Golden Core Ceremony, there were only three Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects that came to celebrate.

The magnitude of Luo Chen’s celebration was something normally reserved only for Ascendant Sect Budding Cultivators’ Core Formation.

No!

In fact, even Ascendant Sect Budding Cultivators would struggle to achieve this extent.

They relied solely on the prestige of their sects.

Luo Chen attracted all these powerful beings all by himself!

If the news of today’s ceremony were to spread, Luo Chen’s fame and status across the surrounding realms would be incredibly dazzling—simply unimaginable!

Luo Chen was of course aware of the odd atmosphere inside the venue.

He himself had not expected the arrival of guests from the Five Elements Divine Sect, Shen Fu Sect, and Fenghua Palace.

This indeed took him by surprise.

But,

having seen life-and-death situations on multiple occasions, and especially on his big day today, he couldn’t show any weakness.

Years of cultivating ”Ming God’s Divine Cleanse” and ”Wind-Calming Wave” had given him an extremely strong ability to adjust his mindset.

In just an instant, he revealed a bright smile.

”Today, with the presence of such distinguished guests in Danxia, you truly honor me.”

”Let us toast with this cup of water wine, to express the sentiments of my heart.”

As he raised his cup,

the guests below all lifted their own cups.

Then, they drank it all in one gulp!
