Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1260: Chapter 481: Troop Distribution, Selecting a Site to Establish a Base_2

Reflecting on it now, one of the puppets indeed bore a great resemblance to Pang Renxiong when he was alive.

So, that being said, could one of the remaining four puppets be Ren Pingsheng?

If that’s the case, then the grudge between the two parties isn’t minor at all—it’s immense!

A genius from a sect turned into a puppet and yet they are willing to join forces?

”In this war, although my Yu Ding Sword Sect is involved, in reality, only I am participating!”

”I intend to use this battle to reclaim the reputation of my sect and, after establishing a stronghold in the Xiao Yue Mountain Range, to retrieve the remains of four of our forebears from that person.”

Lin Qingxuan declared with an oath.

A sharp aura enveloped him, captivating all who were present.

This was like using war as a whetstone for one’s sword!

Luo Chen grasped the other’s intention.

There were many such individuals, mainly within the major Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects.

Conducting business was their main focus, but they would also send out disciples with good talent to gain experience, to avoid becoming insular and having a limited perspective.

”Apologies, I’ve digressed,” Lin Qingxuan retracted his aura, becoming mild again and smiled apologetically at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen showed a smile, ”No matter, after all, I was the one who asked.”

Lin Qingxuan nodded, ”Actually, I wanted to ask about something else.”

”Speak,” Luo Chen calmly awaited further details.

”Are you interested in joining my Yu Ding Sword Sect?”

It was a question often brought up in conversation.

Luo Chen did not hesitate much and refused.

Starting one’s own venture might be more difficult, but it came with independence.

Once joined, many things were out of one’s control.

Even strong figures like Ren Pingsheng and Pang Renxiong could fall victim to schemes.

Moreover, given his current realm and status, as long as he didn’t make major mistakes or offend those who should not be offended, he could always work his way up!

The most important thing was!

He had already signed a pact with Di Wuqi and others, so he couldn’t just leave halfway.

Luo Chen’s refusal did not seem to surprise Lin Qingxuan, who showed little change in expression.

He shook his head, ”I was not asking you to switch your allegiance to our sect, but to join us as a Guest Elder.”

”A Guest Elder?” Luo Chen was intrigued.

Lin Qingxuan hummed affirmatively and continued, ”Just like your cooperation with Ice Castle, or like your arrangement with Qingdan Valley. Our sect will not form any so-called vassal relationship with you; you are free to do whatever you wish.”

Luo Chen puzzled, ”Then what do you seek from me?”

Lin Qingxuan smiled faintly, ”Naturally, we value your Pill Refinement Technique.”

Once things were made clear, there was no need for beating around the bush.

Yu Ding Sword Sect simply valued Luo Chen’s Pill Refinement Technique and had high expectations of him.

They planned to enter into a long-term collaboration with him after the war had ended.

They even said that they would provide the corresponding Pill Formulas for Luo Chen to study and refine.

The reason the terms were so generous was also related to the scarcity of Pill Refiners in the Sword Sect.

The entire Sect had only one notable Third Order Pill Refiner.

If Luo Chen joined, the Sword Sect would no longer depend on the Medicine King Sect for the cultivation resources of their Golden Core Cultivators.

”I need to think it over,” Luo Chen said.

”There’s no rush, we have plenty of time,” Lin Qingxuan said with a smile, adding, ”If you decide to proceed, just bring the token my Uncle Pang gave you and head straight to Jade Emperor Mountain.”

”Understood.”

By this point, there were no more topics to continue their conversation.

The two returned to the main hall.

By then, the atmosphere had completely changed.

Luo Chen returned to sit with Fei Ming and Jueqing, looking up to the main seat of the hall.

”Who is that?”

”The Second Elder of Luo Yun Sect, Cheng Yan!” Fei Ming replied.

With that answer, the information about Cheng Yan surged in Luo Chen’s memory.

Cheng Yan was a famous Golden Core Ascendant Master of the Luo Yun Sect.

With his Ninth Layer of Golden Core realm, he had stood firm in the Immortal Cultivation World for five hundred years!

He was older than Luo Yun Sect’s True Master Han Zhan, even considered to be Han Zhan’s senior brother.

However, the other had advanced and formed his Nascent Soul earlier.

For years, this Second Elder, who no longer had the chance to form his own Nascent Soul due to his age, dealt with the majority of the Sect’s affairs, including the war.

At this moment.

Everyone stopped their conversations and looked towards Cheng Yan.

The elder showed no signs of alarm, waving his hand nonchalantly.

In the next moment, twenty-six jade slips flew to every table in front of the attendees.

Luo Chen, with a thought, took hold of the jade slip and plunged his Divine Consciousness into it.

”A map?”

”No, a troop deployment map!”

He abruptly looked up, focusing on the senior elder.

Just like him, others also reacted similarly.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Cheng Yan slowly began, ”As you can see, this is the troop deployment map of the Xiao Yue Wolf Tribe. Although it’s not absolutely accurate, most of it can be assured.”

”During the construction of Moon-Breaking Immortal City, the Luo Yun Sect hasn’t been idle.”

”Using the Puppet Technique, our disciples have made great sacrifices to gradually ascertain the arrangement of the Demon Clan throughout eighty percent of the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.”

”As for the upcoming battle!”

”The Luo Yun Sect does not wish to drag this on. We plan to strike with the force of thunder, to sweep through Xiao Yue and carve out a foundation for our Human Clan.”

Upon his words, the crowd was both shocked and excited.

They had all thought that Luo Yun Sect was building the Moon-Breaking Immortal City intending to proceed gradually.

Now it seems that the Sect was breaking from convention, aiming for a swift victory.

This indeed went beyond many people’s expectations.

Including those of Tian Fan City!

”Gentlemen, the maps have been given to you. They not only show the Demon Clan’s troop distribution but also the explanations of the Spirit Land Grades.”
