Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 246: Chapter 137: No One in the Mi Family, the Broken Sword Reappears (Seeking Monthly Tickets for the Sixth Time)_3

Chen Haoran, who had previously acted swiftly with the demeanor of an expert, now showed an unnatural flush on his face.

”Something’s wrong, you all attack now!”

The expressions of Yang Rusheng and Xu Renke in the sky subtly changed.

Without waiting for them to take action, Wang Yuan, standing on the rooftop, stomped his foot.

Bang!

The mansion under his feet instantly turned into ruins.

Like an arrow released from the bowstring, he shot straight towards Chen Haoran.

His pair of black eyes, at this moment, were as ferocious and wild as a giant beast.

”Then...let the battle begin!”

...

”Are you alright now?”

”Cough, cough. I’m alright.”

Gu Caiyi coughed twice and smiled wryly, ”I lack combat experience. Even though I was warned by Elder Sikong and Sister Qinglian blocked most of the attacks, my reactions were still too slow.”

”If it weren’t for the Ascendant Grade Defense Magic Tool that Fei Bowen gave me, I probably wouldn’t have made it this time.”

Luo Chen had never had a direct conversation with Fei Bowen.

But the foreman was indeed generous; once he gave something away, he never thought about taking it back.

Although Luo Chen had a bad impression of him before, and although he is now dead...

At this moment, Luo Chen still had to say one word: a good man!

”Eat this!”

A pill was handed to Gu Caiyi.

Gu Caiyi took it and curiously asked, ”What kind of elixir is this?”

”It’s the Moon Laurel Pill, a specialty of Xuelian District. It can temporarily suppress a cultivator’s injuries.”

Gu Caiyi had heard of this pill before, and since Luo Chen gave it to her, she didn’t hesitate and took it immediately.

Luo Chen, seeing this, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ironically, this Moon Laurel Pill was left over from the storage bag of Lu Huaiben, who tried to kill him with Dan Xiu’s lead.

Pity, Lu Huaiben never had a chance to use this pill.

Because the person who captured him was Foundation Establishment Cultivator Mi Shuhua.

After Luo Chen inherited his possessions, he kept some of the pills and gradually found out what they were on his multiple visits to the Spirit Medicine Hall.

After giving one to Gu Caiyi, he still had two left, just in case.

”There might be a battle later. Taking this pill will give you a chance to protect yourself.”

A glow flickered on Gu Caiyi’s face, and when it disappeared, a touch of rosiness returned to her delicate cheeks.

She stood up and walked a few steps, feeling that her spirit power had been restored to its original state.

It was as if the serious injuries that had made her unconscious earlier had never happened.

However, hearing Luo Chen’s words scared her a bit.

”Perhaps, but those who are at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement outside are too strong for me to resist.”

”Luo Chen, you’re only at the Seventh Level Qi Refinement, be careful!”

At this point, Luo Chen was still maintaining the effect of the Qi Concealment Secret Technique.

The finalized Qi Concealment Secret Technique, which could now hide spirit power fluctuations and conceal his realm, had reached its pinnacle within the Qi Refinement Stage.

Even when he slightly activated the magical device or the Primordial Chaos Bead without exerting great force, his real level would not be exposed.

This was much stronger than before.

However, Luo Chen did not bother to explain about his progress.

He just gave Gu Caiyi a simple nod and reminded her to prioritize protecting herself.

Standing before the cliff platform, Elder Sikong Shoujia, Murong Qinglian, Granny Yuan, and Zhou Yuanli were discussing defensive matters.

Anxiety was clearly evident on their faces.

Seeing Luo Chen approaching, Sikong Shoujia hesitated and asked, ”Did you collect all the Jade Marrow Pills from the Pill Cultivation Room?”

”If I didn’t collect them, should I have left them to be destroyed during the fight?”

Luo Chen gave him a look and his words left Sikong Shoujia speechless.

”Hall Master!”

”Hmm?”

Luo Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhou Yuanli hesitating.

”What’s wrong?”

”The reinforcements have been sent out.”

”Isn’t that good news?”

Luo Chen was puzzled. Having reinforcements should be a cause for elation, he didn’t understand Zhou Yuanli’s reaction.

Zhou Yuanli gritted his teeth and said, ”It’s not the top experts from the three Battle Halls, nor Elder Wang Yuan. It’s the cultivators from the Mi Family, led by Sikong Yuanhong. And more, there is no Ninth Level Qi Refinement Expert among them.”

Elder Sikong Shoujia was startled the moment he heard his son was leading the team personally.

The damned boy, why did he come here!

Can’t he stay peacefully at the Mi Family!

”Additionally, the Gang Leader has also sent someone to invite Elder Qin Liangchen. He should arrive soon.”

This was to be expected.

Luo Chen glanced at Murong Qinglian, who visibly relaxed.

In her eyes, her own man was certainly the most reliable.

Suddenly, Luo Chen’s face darkened.

”You said there are no experts from the three Battle Halls, and the Headquarters is not offering any support either. Even Wang Yuan from the Jiao Hall is not coming?”

Zhou Yuanli gave a bitter smile.

”Yes!”

Upon hearing Luo Chen’s emphasis, Sikong Shoujia, Murong Qinglian, and the nearby Gu Caiyi, who were originally worried, immediately realized something.

”Indeed, this encirclement was premeditated!”

Luo Chen’s face grew somber as he said, ”I suppose the other branches are now under heavy attack!”

It was a simple reasoning.

If Luo Chen and the Broken Mountain Gang could think of it, so could the Great Lake Gang who initiated the attack.

With the advantage of striking first, they could make ample preparations.

”Moreover, the crucial point is not even this,” Luo Chen scanned everyone and said unhurriedly, ”the Great Lake Gang alone can’t possibly besiege the Broken Mountain Gang on all fronts.”

Sikong Shoujia spat out and cursed, ”Is the Lianyun Business Union colluding with the Great Lake Gang again?”

”Perhaps, it’s not just them.”

”Huh?” Sikong Shoujia paused.

Luo Chen withdrew his gaze from the distance, looked at the old man, and inquired, ”Among the five Foundation Establishment Families of The Great River District, apart from the Duan Family, Li Family, and Nangong Family, there are the Chen Family and the Fu Family, right?”

Sikong Shoujia’s mouth dropped open and his face instantly turned white.

”You’ve met a lot of people and are familiar with many faces. Let me ask you, a man with a huge golden hammer, a full forehead, a pancake-like face, and a pair of noticeable ears. Which family does this man belong to?”

”The Fu Family, the current Family Head Fu Zhang!”

Sikong Shoujia blurted out without thinking.

Luo Chen nodded, ”It seems that among the Five Great Families, the Fu Family has also joined the battle.”

At these words, Sikong Shoujia was stunned on the spot.

Although the Fu Family lacks a Foundation Establishment Stage Ancestor and is the bottom rung among the five major families, its strength is not to be underestimated.

The entire family earns a living by manufacturing talismans.

Upon coming to The Great River District, they flourished splendidly.

If the Shen Fu Pavilion didn’t exist, they would have presumably monopolized the entire talisman market by now.

If the Fu family has now joined the fray, the remaining four perhaps might have as well?

If this is the case, the Broken Mountain Gang, already severely weakened by the heritage dispute, wouldn’t be able to resist such a vast force, would they?

As he was lost in thought, a calm and unhurried voice reached his ears.

”Caiyi, make some tea.”

Gu Caiyi was startled. Seeing Luo Chen sitting at the stone table, she took out the teaware and charcoal stove, preparing to make tea for Luo Chen.

Sikong Shoujia swallowed hard, staring intently at Luo Chen.

”Why aren’t you worried at all?”
