Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1255: Chapter 480: The 27 Sects’ Golden Core Exchange Meeting, Are You Dan Chenzi? (Ten thousand updates for monthly pass)_3

Some cultivators who were not proficient in the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation but had mastery over spell battles anonymously joined Huanzhu House. They could both earn resources by accepting missions and hone their skills.

It truly was a win-win situation!

This also explained why an assassin organization that was merely at the level of a Golden Core Great Sect could survive in the Immortal Cultivation World.

”Two people came from Dream Spring Cave, the Sect Master Si Nan and Elder Yu Jiaolong. The latter was probably brought to gain some exposure, as she actually reached Core Formation not many years before you,” said Fei Ming.

Luo Chen’s gaze paused for a moment on that delicate and elegant Female Cultivator.

Perhaps sensing someone’s attention, Yu Jiaolong instinctively looked over.

Upon seeing Luo Chen, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

”What sharp senses!”

Luo Chen inwardly sighed, then he too sensed a gaze that was quietly watching him.

Turning his head, he saw that it was none other than the deputy master of Huanzhu House, Luo Chen had just been introduced to.

”Why is Xiao Xiangzi staring at me?”

”What sharp senses!”

From a corner, Xiao Xiangzi’s eyelids drooped, surprised by Luo Chen’s keen spiritual perception.

He himself was extremely skilled in concealing his energy and moving stealthily, given his background in assassination.

Normally, when he observed someone, other people would not notice.

Luo Chen seemed to have reacted instantly!

Such perception could either be honed by life-and-death experiences, or his Divine Soul Endowment was far superior to his, or maybe his foundational talent was outstanding to the extreme, similar to the existence of Yu Jiaolong with her Heavenly Spirit Root.

Xiao Xiangzi could not determine the exact reason, but his regard for Luo Chen significantly increased internally.

”He should not be considered a mere newcomer to the Golden Core stage!”

On Luo Chen’s side, sensing that Xiao Xiangzi was no longer staring at him, he also refrained from looking back.

There were too many Golden Core Cultivators present, and aside from testing newcomers, everyone maintained politeness and did not excessively use their Divine Consciousness.

Hence, most interactions consisted of spoken words and exchanged glances.

Fei Ming continued to introduce the many representatives present today.

”That woman with a red mole between her eyebrows is Chu Baihong, the founding ancestor of the White Rainbow Sect. She looks very young, but she’s almost five hundred years old. Her realm is a bit higher than mine, at the Fifth Level of Golden Core, and her ability to wield Qi through the white rainbow is extremely formidable; she has even received recognition from a powerhouse of the Five Elements Divine Sect,” said Fei Ming.

”Five feet to your right, the old man in the dirty clothes is unknown by name, but everyone calls him the Sloppy Daoist. It is said that he begged for a living in the secular world when he was young, and fortunately embarked on the path of Immortality, leading to unstoppable success. He is now at the Eighth Layer of Golden Core and a formidable existence in this alliance of the eighteen major Golden Core sects. His leadership of the Fish Dragon Gang represents a robust force.”

”...”

Under Fei Ming’s introductions, Luo Chen gradually recognized the representative figures from the eighteen Golden Core Major Sects.

Combining this with the information previously collected by the Luo Tian Sect, he had a preliminary understanding.

”Qingdan Valley has already declared withdrawal from this Open War. However, with the participation of your Luotian Alliance, there are still eighteen forces at the Golden Core Great Sect level,” Fei Ming explained.

”Oh, your old friend has arrived!” Fei Ming suddenly stopped speaking.

Luo Chen looked up and saw a woman with a frosty demeanor stepping into the hall.

Jueqing Fairy!

She paused at the door, then walked directly towards them.

Midway in her approach,

Fei Ming patted Luo Chen’s shoulder, ”Speaking of which, do you know Jueqing Fairy’s real name?”

Luo Chen was curious, ”What is it?”

”You’d never guess; such a coldly beautiful woman and ruthless in action, known as Jueqing. In actual fact, her real name is Gu Xiaorou. Back then...”

”Fei Ming!”

A cold voice resonated.

Fei Ming chuckled, bowed his hands in a Daoist salute, ”Friend Jueqing, long time no see. I still vividly remember the days when you and I joined forces to hunt down the dog thief Qin Tairan.”

Jueqing Fairy snorted.

Her gaze fell on Luo Chen.

”You’ve come.”

”Gu...”

”Hmm?”

”Friend Jueqing, are you well?” Luo Chen gave a sheepish smile, still shocked by Jueqing Fairy’s real name which sounded so delicate and gentle, and almost blurted it out.

Jueqing Fairy tugged at the corner of her mouth, ”I’m doing very well, no need for you, the favored son of heaven, to worry about me.”

Faced with this sarcasm,

Luo Chen was a bit slow to react.

But considering his actions after leaving Closed-Door Cultivation, as well as the situation at Ice Castle, he came to understand.

The current Ice Castle, although not in turmoil, could certainly be described as greatly diminished in vitality.

However, Luo Chen had not visited Ice Castle first after leaving seclusion; instead, he went to Qingdan Valley.

It was inevitable that the Ice Castle Cultivators harbored some resentment.

Add to that, although he still maintained the Jade Dew Pill business with Ice Castle, the orders he took for crafting Ascendant Grade Jade Dew Pills were only occasional, with most being Lower Grade Jade Dew Pills crafted by his disciple, Qu Lingjun.

All these reasons led to the dissatisfaction evident in the woman’s words.

But times had changed!

The Luo Tian Sect was no longer a vassal of Ice Castle, and Luo Chen had formed his own alliance with five Golden Core members.

This made their relationship one of equals.

About this dissatisfaction...

Luo Chen did not get angry. Instead, he spoke politely, ”After the Open War concludes, Luo someone hopes to enjoy a drink with you on Tianshan.”

A drink on Tianshan?

Jueqing frowned.

Visiting someone’s sect stronghold alone signified extreme trust in the other party.

By making such a statement, Luo Chen was affirming his stance.

It also served as a wish for himself to survive the upcoming, uncertain Open War.

The woman’s expression gradually softened.
