Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1070: Chapter 424: Tianshan Cang Long, Heavenly Fire Zhenlong (Double Monthly Tickets Please!)

The biting wind howls, the ice and snow glisten in blinding white.

Few cultivators knew that in the Yu Ding Realm during this golden autumn September, there still lay a region amidst ice and snow.

But such a place was far from uninhabited.

On the contrary!

Amidst the sweeping blizzards, glints would occasionally come and go, betraying signs of life.

As the glints returned, a region with architectural styles starkly different from the rest of the Yu Ding Realm gradually came into view.

Round at the base, tapering to a point, the Ice Castle stood tall.

From the outside in, towering castles built of cold ice grew increasingly lofty.

A few female cultivators descended from the sky, entered one of the ice castles, and turned in their task.

”Elder, this is the Second Order Snow Fox we joined forces to hunt down; it took considerable effort.”

”Yes, yes, Elder must add a bit more merit for us this time!”

”What do you mean? Isn’t the fur still intact? Why deduct thirty percent of the merits, Elder, you’re really stingy.”

In the midst of their grumbling, three early stage Foundation Establishment female cultivators walked out from the hall of miscellaneous goods, faces showing a mix of dispiritedness.

It had not been easy to jointly hunt down a Second Order Snow Fox, and yet they received so few merits for it.

How long would they have to accumulate before they could exchange for a Jade Dew Pill!

”Legend says that the Jade Dew Pill is extremely effective for us female cultivators; I really want to get one to try!”

”It’s no legend. Do you know about Senior Sister Shi Lan? She’s only been at Foundation Establishment for a few years, not even ten, right? Now she has already advanced past the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, all thanks to the help of a large number of Jade Dew Pills!”

”Hiss, does it really have such miraculous effects?”

”Of course, it’s not all due to the Jade Dew Pill’s power. Senior Sister Shi Lan is also favored by the Senior Sister Dantai and is cared for by her family elders; I heard she’s also quite adept at acquiring wealth on her own, which allowed her to progress to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment in such a short time.”

”With such conditions, it’s not just her; I suspect the main credit still goes to the Jade Dew Pill.”

”Unfortunately, now Jade Dew Pills are specially supplied to true disciples, and even then, it’s only the most favored batch under the great elders.”

”Here’s the question: Senior Sister Shi Lan wasn’t that outstanding at first, so how did she get to enjoy the supply of Jade Dew Pills ahead of others?”

”I happen to know this! It seems she has a very good relationship with the Guest Elder who refines the Jade Dew Pills. Even after her Foundation Establishment, he personally sent her a congratulatory gift.”

Speaking of the Guest Elder who refined the Jade Dew Pills.

A name arose in the minds of the three.

Dan Chenzi!

He’s the Pill Refinement Grandmaster who surpassed the new generation of Qingdan Seven Sons and whose fame spread throughout the Yu Ding Realm!

There were even rumors that he had terrifying spell battle capabilities, able to slay a Golden Core Ascendant Master during the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Just hearing his name, discussing his deeds, one couldn’t help but hold him in awe.

If he had come from a Great Sect, that would be one thing.

But instead, he was a Rogue Cultivator.

That made his reputation all the more admirable.

”I keep hearing he’s going to visit our Ice Castle, but there’s no sign of him yet. I really want to witness his elegance!”

”Do you want to witness his elegance, or are you hoping to cozy up to him for a few bottles of Jade Dew Pills!”

”You little brat, don’t you want the same? I bet when the time comes, you’ll stick to him faster than I would!”

”Hehe...”

A playful laughter washed away some of their earlier gloom.

Having completed their task, the three had a long period of rest; they decided to stroll around the sect.

When they reached the foot of Tianshan, they looked up.

Envy filled their faces.

Tianshan was the only Third Order Spirit Land within the Ice Castle.

The small peaks stretching beneath the imposing mountain were Second Order Spirit Lands, each with its corresponding Second Order Cave Mansion.

Even the Second Order Cave Mansions were not something ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples could enjoy.

Only by advancing to a True Disciple would one automatically possess a Cave Mansion.

Alternatively, one could enjoy the blessing of the Spirit Land for a time through the yearly rotation or exchange a large amount of merit for a set time of cultivation in the Spirit Land.

The Ice Castle’s resources indeed fell short compared to other Great Sects in the Yu Ding Realm!

Now, having pulled together nine Golden Cores, they had reached the limits of their resources and could progress no further.

Suddenly!

One female disciple looked up in astonishment at the young man standing with his hands behind his back atop a mountain peak.

”Who is that senior brother? I’ve never seen him before.”

”Strange, I haven’t seen him either. He’s young, and his realm isn’t high, but why is he cultivating at that Second Order Medium Grade Cave Mansion?”

”Eh, I think I know him. His surname is Xu, seems like he’s one of Elder Dan Chenzi’s subordinates?”

At this revelation, a flicker of intrigue passed through the eyes of the three.

”Should we go up and say hello?”

”Isn’t that a bit much?”

”What’s the big deal? He’s alone outside his mansion, clearly not in the mood for cultivation, so why not go up and have a chat, exchange some cultivation insights!”

”Let’s go, I also want to know what the Immortal Cultivation World outside the Ice Castle is like these days.”

And so, Xu Xiao Liu, who had been idly awaiting the Ice Castle’s response, found himself engaged in an enthusiastic conversation with three beautiful female cultivators.

...

Atop Tianshan.

Two figures glanced briefly at the scene below, unconcerned.

Their gazes lifted, peering into the distant, boundless snowstorm.

There, a dark line appeared faintly, with continuous mountains veiled within.

That was the Great Snow Mountain!

Within were countless mountains piled upon mountains, with an environment of extreme cold.

It was said there existed a Fourth Order Spirit Land.

”The promises of Luo Yun Sect are not trustworthy.”

In the mournful wind and heavy snow, an elegant voice emerged, like the light cry of sea demons and freaks, bewitchingly musical to the ear.
