Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1300: Chapter 494: Jiang Yu Falls, Luo Chen Emerges_2

”Hmph!”

Zeng Yilong was taken aback, ”Uncle Master, what’s wrong?”

Luo Chen shook his head, the features under his hood indistinct.

”It’s nothing, I will heal Mei Ruoki while you tell me about the battlefield situation.”

Zeng Yilong nodded promptly.

After organizing his thoughts, he recounted the most terrifying scene etched in his memory.

”The Nine Sects Sword Hall is just like you mentioned before; there’s usually nothing significant happening. The main tasks are enforcement and supervising battles, along with emergency rescues.”

”In a little over two years, we have carried out four missions.”

”One was to execute a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Calamity Cultivator, a greedy man who, in an attack on a Third Order Spirit Vein land, took the opportunity to ambush a Great Sect True Disciple. The Sword Hall was enraged and dispatched us to pursue and kill him over a thousand miles.”

”Another mission involved mediating between two nearly warring Golden Core Great Sects. They were disputing over a conquered Third Order Spirit Vein land, endlessly arguing and on the verge of fighting with real swords...”

”The last mission was in a top grade Third Order Spirit Vein land battle, thousands of miles away from the Ao Xiao Wolf Court.”

”At the time, five sects joined forces to attack this place, determined to succeed.”

”Nobody expected that, in addition to the powerful defensive forces, the Ao Xiao Wolf Court had sent a Demon King for reinforcement. Upon receiving the news, the Sword Hall mobilized its entire force, determined to intercept this support and ensure the battle was successful.”

”It was an interception battle that I will never forget in my life!”

...

Healing Mei Ruoki might have been difficult for Luo Chen in the past.

The Cleaning Technique at Finalization could at best eliminate Second Order Evil Qi.

But dealing with the demonic power of Third Order Demon Beasts, an energy comparable to a cultivator’s Golden Core Qi Power, was entirely inadequate.

Fortunately, Luo Chen had learned the ”Slaying Dragon Technique.”

This Fourth Order Technique was one that was easy to learn but hard to master.

He was naturally talented, so he had begun mastering it early, even reaching a proficiency level.

Furthermore, the demonic power in Mei Ruoki was merely an aftereffect from a Third Order Frostwolf King, and it wasn’t very difficult for him to remove.

The only thing troubling Luo Chen was probably the Concealing Array troubling him!

Having a Third Order Array Method engraved into his body, the array’s operation would interfere with the flow of Qi Power inside his body while he still hadn’t fully adapted to it.

That was also why he had kept a low profile, seldom showing himself recently.

At this time, he felt somewhat weakened.

The Slaying Dragon Technique was released over and over again.

The icy demonic power on Mei Ruoki’s body was continuously cut away.

During this process, Luo Chen occasionally cast those completion stage healing techniques to protect her heart meridian.

After three hours had passed and Mei Ruoki’s pallid complexion showed signs of becoming rosy again, Luo Chen also learned the cause and consequences of the situation from Zeng Yilong.

”It’s pretty much the same as the information Xing Zonghan sent back.”

”Now the Demon Beasts of Xiao Yue Mountain Range have changed from the traditionally entrenched and territorial Demon Clan that would not support each other.”

”Under the leadership of the unconventional Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao, the Wolf Race of Xiao Yue Mountain Range has been twisted into a single rope.”

”Perhaps at first, they were utterly no match for the army of human cultivators.”

”But the deeper into Wolf Court territory, the stronger the resistance became, even exhibiting human war strategies.”

”Using the top grade Third Order Spirit Vein Land as bait, they lured the enemy deep in before dealing a heavy blow to the united cultivators’ forces.”

”The Five Major Golden Core Sects suffered a crushing defeat.”

”In that battle, the Nine Sects Sword Hall lost three Golden Core True Masters on the field, with several other Golden Cores injured, and hundreds of Sect Foundation Establishment True Disciples either dead or wounded.”

”This battle was undoubtedly the greatest loss for Human Cultivators since the Open War!”

After clarifying all this information.

Luo Chen used his Qi Power to carry the deeply sleeping Mei Ruoki to Zeng Yilong.

”I’m aware of the situation now. Take her back, follow the Medicine Recipes I’ve given, and have her adhere to them for three months; she should be able to fully recover.”

Zeng Yilong nodded again and again, the worried look on his face completely vanishing.

Seeing him about to leave with the girl, Luo Chen shook his head.

”Come here!”

”Hm?”

Zeng Yilong didn’t understand but approached Luo Chen nonetheless.

He then saw Luo Chen extend a hand covered in black lines, brushing against his face.

A tingling sensation caused Zeng Yilong’s toes to curl within his shoes.

Luo Chen slowly retracted his hand, Qi Power rippling at his fingertips.

”How could a young genius of the next generation of Luo Tian Sect be left with such ugly scars?”

”Alright, you can go now!”

Zeng Yilong touched his face, a warm current surging through his heart.

He bowed in gratitude.

”Thank you, Uncle Master!”

Before he left, he suddenly remembered the strange black lines on Uncle Master Luo Chen’s hand. Could it be that his uncle was practicing some divine secret technique?

Once he had left.

Luo Chen remained seated in meditation in his Immortal Mansion for a while, eventually standing up slowly.

”They must be anxious waiting for me.”

”Well!”

”This body isn’t going to fully adapt to the Concealing Array in a short amount of time; I might as well take the time to see them!”

Cloaked in his black robe, Luo Chen moved quietly.

In no time, he arrived at the massive Manor atop Iron Blue Mountain.

Before entering, he heard a cacophony of loud wailing.

He spread his Divine Consciousness without any attempt at concealment.

Luo Chen saw Jiang He standing firm and resolute amidst a grieving crowd.

He was Jiang Yu’s son, at the Ninth Level Foundation Establishment Realm. Thanks to his father’s arrangement of a Weak 3rd Order Spiritual Land before his departure, his cultivation was now not far from reaching Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization.
