Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1261: Chapter 481: Troop Distribution, Selecting a Site to Establish a Base_3

”In the next month, carefully consider your choices and report to the Luo Yun Sect the locations you wish to attack,” he said.

”One month from today, the entire army will strike!”

Having said this, Cheng Yan didn’t linger and immediately left the main hall.

Another Golden Core Cultivator from the Luo Yun Sect stepped forward to announce that the meeting would continue and assigned sect disciples to serve spirit wine and immortal fruits.

But,

in the face of such news, who had the appetite to eat and drink?

A group of Golden Core Ascendants, who appeared lofty and removed from the mundane world to outsiders, were now buzzing with discussion as noisy as a marketplace.

On Luo Chen’s side, on his left, Fei Ming was engrossed in a jade slip, while on his right, Jueqing Fairy remained unmoved.

They were different, as Ailao Mountain had got involved in the open war not to relocate their sect but merely to conduct some business.

They hadn’t brought many people.

It was the same with the Ice Castle, or rather, their focus was still at the Great Snow Mountain.

Luo Chen alone was completely engrossed in the jade slip, unable to pull himself away for a long time.

Xiao Yue Mountain Range, the explored spirit lands were numerous, both large and small.

The main one was a Fourth Order Spiritual Vein Land.

This was unquestionably the target of the Luo Yun Sect!

Next were the Third Order Spiritual Vein Lands, the main forces in this war, and what most Golden Core Sects were after.

”There are seventeen locations,” he noted,

”Only five are truly suitable for large sect settlements. The rest are small third-order spiritual veins suitable for two or three Golden Core Cultivators to practice together.”

”Excluding the Ice Castle, Ailao Mountain, Huanzhu House, and some other Golden Core Sects not interested in the spirit lands of Xiao Yue Mountain Range, that leaves thirteen great sects vying for these five spiritual veins.”

”Monks aplenty but porridge scarce!”

Luo Chen sighed.

He had anticipated this situation, just as in the Yu Ding Realm before, where only seven sects existed, with the territories occupied by Hundred Flowers Palace and Ailao Mountain also not very large in terms of spiritual vein scale.

In other words, only five.

Oh!

The Ice Castle’s wasn’t large either, with a maximum capacity to accommodate nine Golden Core Ascendants for cultivation, and most of the time, they still had to take turns.

One couldn’t afford a mansion per person.

But Luo Chen hadn’t anticipated that, although Xiao Yue Mountain Range was much larger than Yu Ding Realm, the large-scale spiritual lands there were only six.

After deducting the Fourth-Order spiritual land set for Luo Yun Sect, thirteen sects were competing for five...

Luo Chen felt a bit of a headache.

The strength of his Luotian Alliance wasn’t very formidable, with Di Wuqi being the highest in realm, a Third Layer Golden Core.

With such a lineup, how could they compete with others?

He looked up just in time to see Fei Ming staring toward Tian Fan City, where Master Hu Yan Zhuo had a gloomy expression, emitting an aura of unapproachability.

”What happened?” Luo Chen was puzzled.

Fei Ming quietly transmitted, ”What else could it be? If the open war ends too quickly, how could Tian Fan City continue to profit? Tsk, who knows what Luo Yun Sect was thinking, suddenly changing plans like this.”

Luo Chen frowned.

Unable to figure it out and unwilling to ponder further, he currently had his own troubles to deal with.

”A month’s time, I’ll first return and discuss with them, see how we should make our selections,” he declared.

It seems this meeting probably couldn’t proceed any further.

Luo Chen nodded to Fei Ming and Jueqing, got up, and headed straight out.

As he was leaving, he saw that Hu Yan Zhuo had been invited by another Golden Core Ascendant from Luo Yun Sect into a different side hall.

...

Once back at his Immortal Mansion, Luo Chen immediately issued a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Soon, Di Wuqi and others appeared in his mansion.

”Take a look!”

Luo Chen didn’t waste words and passed the jade slip to them.

At the same time, he also shared the decisions made at the earlier meeting by Luo Yun Sect with them.

After reading, they couldn’t help but look at each other.

”What should we do?”

”Should we contend with others?”

”How can we contend, with those sects that relocated their entire order either having a golden core late-stage great cultivator or seven or eight golden core ascendant masters, well-endowed with power? And us? We are merely five individuals.”

”We originally wanted to show our might, but it seems we’re still not strong enough!”

”How about we move to a smaller third-order spirit vein?”

”Didn’t you see the note on top? The largest of the small third-order spiritual veins can only support three golden core ascendant masters cultivating at the same time. There are five of us, how would we divide it?”

”Isn’t there also the Moon-Breaking Immortal Mansion?”

”That mansion, it only has a hundred years of usage rights.”

”In a hundred years, Friend Cen would be roughly...”

”No matter, I’m almost just about a hundred years old in lifespan anyway. However, we do need to consider the future, since we’re not alone, there are both clan and sect. Who knows, maybe in the next generation one or two golden core cultivators could emerge.”

”Indeed, we must plan for the long term!”

Amid the clamor and debate, in the end, they couldn’t reach a conclusion.

Luo Chen waved his hand in frustration.

”Let’s look at it again, there’s still a month’s time.”

Fu Jiusheng echoed, ”Indeed, we still have plenty of time to make a decision. And it’s not like all sects will survive, in previous open wars, there were many losses. Only those who survive to the end can laugh last, maybe we might even find an opportunity.”

When he said this, it made a lot of sense.

Yet not many took it to heart.

This open war mobilizing human cultivators was far beyond the scale of any previous one.

Simply put, the advantage is ours!

With such a great advantage, it’s almost a straightforward push; there wouldn’t be much loss.

Constructing the immortal city, assigning attack targets, dividing the spoils in advance, some even had their minds set on Great Snow Mountain and Ancient Plains Mountain Range already.

To everyone, the Xiao Yue Mountain Range was already a cooked duck.

Who wouldn’t want a piece of duck leg to eat?

Once each individual had imprinted a jade slip and departed, the immortal mansion quieted down.

Unknowingly, it was already deep into the night.

Luo Chen suppressed his restlessness, adjusted his state, and began his pill cultivation.

As for attacking the demon clan and choosing a place to expand, he planned to investigate more over the coming month, understanding the attitudes of other forces before proceeding.

Moreover, if Daoist Companion Yun He really was going to attack Great Snow Mountain.

It would possibly divert some forces there.

The situation wasn’t as bad as he had imagined!

...

The next day.

Before Luo Chen could go out to look for friends to understand the situation, someone came to him voluntarily.

”Friend Meng!”

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up.

Meng Changshou stood at the doorway with a jovial smile, ”It looks like you were about to go out—perhaps I’ve come at a bad time!”

Luo Chen laughed heartily, ”No, you’ve come at just the right time.”

Gathering information through other individuals could never match the speed and accuracy of leveraging Meng Changshou’s connections.

The other party was widely renowned, surrounded by well-wishers.

If he could improve their relationship a bit, he might just need to inquire casually to clearly understand others’ movements.

As for how to improve the relationship?

That was quite simple, cater to his preferences.

”Speaking of which, Luo someone has encountered some troubles in pill refinement lately, perhaps Friend Meng would like to enter the immortal mansion and give me some guidance?”

Meng Changshou laughed heartily, ”Guidance would be presumptuous; let’s just discuss and improve together.”

Following that, stroking his beard, Meng Changshou graciously entered the immortal mansion at Luo Chen’s invitation.
