Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1259: Chapter 481: Troop Deployment, Choosing a Site to Establish a Base

”Thank you!”

”Hmm?”

Luo Chen was taken aback, not understanding the other party’s intention.

But the other party didn’t make him guess for long.

Lin Qingxuan calmly said, ”Thank you for waking up my Uncle Master Pang.”

Luo Chen hesitated, ”Elder Pang Renxiong?”

”Yes.”

Lin Qingxuan nodded and began to recount the past.

It turned out that after Pang Renxiong was killed, by virtue of the mental state of Sword Heart Bright, he devoured the residual essence of three great Ghost Kings and switched to cultivating the Path of Ghost.

In just a few short years, he broke through to the Third Order Ghost King Realm.

But such rapid progress had its disadvantages.

After ascending to the Ghost King Realm, due to the resentment from before his death and the remaining consciousness of the three great Ghost Kings, his mind became muddled and confused.

If left unchecked, he would have eventually become a chaotic and bewildered ghost creature.

It was Luo Chen!

In the Big River Ghost City, he produced an item belonging to the other party when he was alive, and even called out ”Master.”

So, at the critical moment, he managed to awaken the deep memories of the other’s soul.

In the many years that followed, the reason why the Ghost Realm of the Great River didn’t continue to spread but was only confined to the area of The Great River District,

was because Pang Renxiong regained his sanity and deliberately restrained the diffusion of the Ghost Realm.

”If it weren’t for your reminder, my Uncle Master Pang would have surely sunk into the evil path of Yin Ghosts and spirits, never to step onto the righteous path again,” Lin Qingxuan said with a sigh, a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

”Uncle Master Pang, though straightforward in character, was very kind to us juniors and was a great benefactor to me.”

”Since you have been kind to him, I must personally thank you.”

Luo Chen suddenly understood.

Pang Renxiong’s fondness for mentoring the younger generation was not just flattery, it was his genuine nature.

Back then, he generously awarded the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel and the Lan Ke Black and White Chess to Miao Wen, Luo Tianhong, and others just like that.

Upon learning about Luo Chen’s talent for Pill Refinement,

he had no hesitation in recruiting him, taking him in as a disciple, and was even planning to take him back to the Yu Ding Sword Sect.

Luo Chen had also prepared himself to bid farewell to his friends and to go with him.

If it hadn’t been for that great war later on... Luo Chen might now already be listed as a disciple of a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect.

Given Pang Renxiong’s protective nature and Luo Chen’s efforts, he would at least have been a Foundation Establishment True Disciple!

Of course.

Luo Chen never regretted not going to the Yu Ding Sword Sect; at that time the future was unclear, who knew if he could have continued cultivating safely after going to the Sword Sect.

Moreover, he’s not doing too badly now!

Suddenly.

Luo Chen came to his senses and asked, ”How did you learn of these secret matters, friend?”

Lin Qingxuan smiled faintly, revealing his white teeth.

”Naturally, Uncle Master Pang told us himself after he returned to the sect. He mentioned you, and after we told him about your situation, Uncle Master Pang himself also felt quite sentimental.”

Pang Renxiong has returned to the sect?

Luo Chen nodded slightly, looking around.

”He didn’t come for this Open War?”

”No, he needs to remain in closed-door cultivation for a while longer to stabilize his realm. Also... heh, how could he possibly come to the Open War of the Luo Yun Sect?” Lin Qingxuan scoffed.

Luo Chen quickly thought of the enmity between the two.

Despite now joining forces,

the underlying conflicts and grudges were merely suppressed for the moment.

And more!

Luo Chen grew interested and curiously asked, ”Speaking of which, during that battle at The Great River District, that... mysterious person in a black robe executed a move called ’Sword Sect’s Unique Skill.’ I wonder...”

Lin Qingxuan’s expression turned cold.

But he didn’t get angry.

Instead, he said very calmly, ”That technique is my Sword Sect’s unique skill. In the entire sect, only the old ancestor and the previous generation’s budding cultivator knew it.”

The previous generation’s budding cultivator of the Yu Ding Sword Sect?

A name surfaced in Luo Chen’s mind.

Ren Pingsheng!

Once known as the number one Golden Core individual in the Yu Ding Realm.

Unlike the budding cultivators of most Golden Core Great Sects, who are only at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment,

the Sword Sect’s budding cultivator selection encompasses those in the Golden Core Stage.

Ren Pingsheng, with such a prominent reputation, had already reached the Late Golden Core Stage, and as a sword cultivator,

in the Yu Ding Realm’s own territory, he indeed qualified as the top Golden Core.

”But why...”

”You’re asking why Linghu Jie of the Luo Yun Sect could execute the Sword Sect’s Unique Skill?”

”Yes.”

Luo Chen just nodded, but he immediately realized that Lin Qingxuan already knew that the mysterious person in a black robe targeting Pang Renxiong at The Great River District was Linghu Jie.

Lin Qingxuan sighed and said mournfully, ”True Master Ren Pingsheng has died. His body was crafted into a puppet by Han Zhan of the Luo Yun Sect... by that one. At that time, Linghu Jie merely borrowed that puppet to strike at Uncle Master Pang. Hence, you witnessed that scene where someone used a Sword Sect technique to kill a Sword Sect Golden Core.”

As he said this, Lin Qingxuan’s face rarely showed anger.

”True Master Ren was the most likely talent from our sect to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage, but he fell at the hands of Han Zhan. This enmity, our sect will not forget.”

Luo Chen listened silently, not interjecting.

He had a decent relationship with the Luo Yun Sect and wasn’t about to speak ill of them behind their backs.

Besides.

They say there is a great grievance, yet the two Nascent Soul Sects are still joining hands now.

In the face of the huge benefits of the Open War, such minor grudges hardly amount to anything.

If I were to fan the flames in this situation, that would be truly playing with fire.

As his thoughts wandered, Luo Chen involuntarily thought of more.

At the time on Great Snow Mountain, he saw True Master Han Zhan summon five Golden Core stage puppets and deploy a Sword Array.

The power was extraordinary; even when fighting against the White Bone Mysterious Snake, it held its own.
