Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1132: Chapter 444: The Number One Person in Yu Ding Foundation Establishment!_2

”What about you?”

Rogue Cultivator Xiao, with a grin on his face, twirled his jade flute in his hand and stood firmly at the front.

”Sorry, I am still young, and one Nether Origin Pill is hardly enough. If you have any extras, feel free to give me another one. Once I get it, I’ll turn around and leave, and won’t interfere with the disputes between you and Lady You Sha.”

At his words, Lady You Sha’s face drastically changed.

With her ability alone, if she were to face the renowned Luo Chen, it would likely be a struggle of life and death.

But before she could even voice her concerns, Luo Chen flatly rejected the proposal.

”Sorry, if it’s five, then it’s five, there’s no room for more.”

Rogue Cultivator Xiao’s face darkened. He shook his head and said, ”If that’s the case, I’ll have to take it myself.”

While the two were conversing, He Lianyun appeared to have thought of a good excuse.

”For me, actually, one is already...”

”Friend Lianyun!!!”

Before he could finish, he was abruptly cut off by the sharp voice of Lady You Sha.

He Lianyun furrowed his brows and looked towards Lady You Sha.

She took a deep breath and spoke earnestly, ”Don’t you want to add another layer of assurance for your Core Formation?”

He Lianyun shook his head, ”Given my lifespan, one is quite enough. If I take two, I fear only when my end is near could I consume the second. By that time, if I fail, I am afraid I wouldn’t even be able to arrange my own affairs in advance.”

During the expedition to Myriad Snake Cave of Great Snow Mountain, among the five, Fu Jiusheng and He Lianyun were the oldest.

One had a lifespan of over two hundred and thirty years, and the other two hundred and two.

It seems there were still twenty to thirty years left until the maximum lifespan of two hundred and fifty years for a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

But for Core Formation, this time was extremely pressing.

If successful, all would be well, but if failed, there might even be insufficient time for healing.

Moreover, for an Herb Harvester like Fu Jiusheng, who often roamed through deep mountains and great marshes, it was common to be injured in battle, and his lifespan limit could be even shorter.

Under these circumstances,

It was better to retreat with composure than to risk a fight to the death with Luo Chen, whose combat fight abilities were incredibly strong.

Find a Third Order Spirit Land, cultivate in seclusion for a while, and then make a dash for the Golden Core Period.

This was what Fu Jiusheng was thinking.

He Lianyun probably weighed the pros and cons this way as well.

But!

Out of the blue, Lady You Sha said, ”As far as I know, Luo Chen has four Core Formation Secret Arts in his possession. The Tianshan Yang-Replenishing Water that Ice Castle gave him, we don’t know exactly how much he received. Considering his relationship with Ice Castle, it’s impossible that they only gave him one portion.”

”Friend Lianyun, if the three of us join forces and force him to hand over the extra Nether Origin Pills, Tianshan Yang-Replenishing Water, and Core Formation Secret Arts, wouldn’t your chances of successful Core Formation increase by several points?”

Increasing the chances of successful Core Formation by several points...

He Lianyun wavered.

There was no denying that what Lady You Sha had said struck a chord with him.

Having managed the Lianyun Business Union for years, his merchant mindset was deeply ingrained. Weighing costs and benefits, putting interests first—that was his code of conduct.

Now, with greater benefits before him, how could he not be tempted?

He gave a wry smile and looked towards Luo Chen.

”Friend Dan Chenzi, as you must have heard, how about we part ways amicably? You hand over your belongings, and I, on my reputation, will personally ensure your safe departure.”

Reputation?

Ha!

Luo Chen scoffed coldly; were they conveniently ignoring his renown as Fire Spirit Lord at such a time?

Seeing the cold smile on Luo Chen’s lips, the three knew that this matter couldn’t likely be settled with words.

Lady You Sha, who rarely managed to persuade the two to form an alliance, was feeling quite spirited at the moment.

She smiled gracefully, ”Friend Dan Chenzi, I am aware of your prowess, but we three are not nobodies either. Especially in this terrain, it is not suitable for the use of your super-fast Speed. So how about...”

”How about what?” Luo Chen interrupted, ”Surrender unconditionally, or wait for the slaughter?”

”You are too harsh, Friend!”

Luo Chen shook his head, ”It’s not that I am harsh, but rather that’s how things are.”

In the face of their stares, he let out a sneer.

”The gorge of desire is never filled.”

The three of them were unconvinced.

”You covet my Nether Origin Pills, Tianshan Yang-Replenishing Water, and Core Formation Secret Arts—do you not also covet the considerable fortune I am reputed to possess?”

The three of them were moved. They exchanged glances, this point had not slipped their minds.

”You fear my combat fight ability—do you not also fear my Luo Tian Creed? Not afraid of my relationship with Ice Castle? Oh, and I happen to be the family Sacrificial Official of the Qingdan Valley Taoist Son.”

Once these words were uttered, the three of them changed color simultaneously!

”So you see, why spout such reasons.”

”It’s nothing but a battle after all!”

No sooner had his words fallen than a great sword appeared in Luo Chen’s hand, a black hilt, and a flame-red blade—it was the Xuanhuo Sword!

At that moment, the three of them braced for battle.

However, before they could act,

an anomaly arose within the cave.

A dense Black Fog suddenly spread, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire underground cavern.

”Not good!”

”He’s deceiving us!”

”Dan Chenzi has reinforcements, be cautious!”

Amidst the Black Fog, Luo Chen looked at Bai Meiling as she floated by.

He nodded at her without saying much.

Clutching the Xuanhuo Sword, he charged out.

Bai Meiling, slightly nervous, stood in front of a massive Soul Banner, continuously forming hand seals, and streams of black fog churned violently.

It was not the Soul-Refining Flag, but the Soul Nurturing Banner from Ghost God Valley!

After years of cultivation, she had finally condensed the body of a Second Order Ghost General.

After years of refining, the Soul Nurturing Banner could be wielded just enough.

Though her fighting ability might not be very strong, within such confined spaces, she could still create a home-field advantage for Luo Chen.
