Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1438: Chapter 536: Han Zhan Bows His Head, The Confidence to Roam the Demon Sea_3

After those two words were voiced, the tense air seemed to relax somewhat.

But it was only seemingly so.

A moment later, a laughing curse came from the cauldron.

”Smart lad, being cautious to such an extent.”

Luo Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth, ”Please set your oath first, Senior, and I will release you immediately.”

”Agreed!”

”Cultivator Han Zhan hereby swears to wholeheartedly assist Friend Luo Chen... This oath, The Great Dao Path as the witness! Should I break it, may I face the Five Thunder Blast, the backlash of the Heart Demon, plunge into the endless abyss, and forever fall into reincarnation!”

Every word was pronounced as if making a contractual agreement.

Luo Chen listened attentively, ensuring there were no excessive wordplay loopholes.

Gradually... After the words ’The Great Dao Path as the witness’ were uttered, an almost imperceptible connection was established between Luo Chen and Han Zhan.

For Luo Chen, a breeze touched his face, almost imperceptible.

For Han Zhan, it was like chains crisscrossing, a wooden cangue around his neck.

With that, the oath was set.

Luo Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Spirit Light in his eyes faded, and the Green Flame in his hand was withdrawn.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, and nine fire dragons darted into his mouth.

Finally, with a sweep of his sleeve, a buzzing sound emanated from the cauldron, and a streak of black light soared out.

Before a polite word could be uttered, the black light wobbled and crashed onto the ground.

Crack, crack...

Luo Chen looked closely, the black wood that made up the Puppet Little Man was like charred wood, shattered in pieces, only a slightly transparent, illusory little figure bitterly smiling at Luo Chen.

”My young friend, it seems I must trouble you to find a place for me to stay.”

Luo Chen was speechless.

After all that effort, this was the reason why the other party had been cultivating in the cauldron for four years and had to awaken!

Seeing the state of the other party, an idea suddenly struck Luo Chen.

He gestured with his hand, and a long banner fell into his grip.

”Senior, please enter this banner!”

Han Zhan, upon seeing the banner, was both shocked and angry.

”We’ve just agreed on the terms, and now you want to make me into a Soul Banner Demon Head! Luo Chen, this is too much!”

No wonder he was so angry.

There are distinctions to be made in entering a demon banner.

The difference lies between the living soul and the dead soul!

Wronged spirits, whose resentment solidifies and doesn’t disperse after death, leaving the Divine Soul lingering in the world, are known as dead souls. Such beings, if refined, are genuine treasures of the Path of Demon, unpredictable and extremely versatile in combat.

But living souls, after achieving a certain realm as cultivators, can still retain their consciousness even if their bodies are destroyed, and may even borrow another body to cultivate anew.

Such beings, if placed into a demon banner filled with death Qi, Ghost Qi, resentment, or Yin Energy, even though they are living souls, would eventually turn into dead souls over time, never to return to the normal path of cultivation again.

Han Zhan’s current state is clearly that of a living soul who has achieved a realm but, unfortunately, had his physique destroyed.

Luo Chen chuckled at his anger.

”Senior, please do not be enraged. I have a method you might want to hear.”

As Han Zhan looked on with skepticism, Luo Chen recited a cultivation technique he had acquired early on, word for word to Han Zhan.

”Mysteries of Gods and Ghosts”

Although it was a method for Ghost Cultivators, it included paths for both the living and the dead souls.

Not only that, but it also incorporated an understanding of using Arrays to nurture Yin Souls in Ghost God Valley.

The reason Bai Meiling could ascend to be a Second Order Ghost General within just a few years was because she cultivated ”Mysteries of Gods and Ghosts” and had the assistance of a Soul Nurturing Banner.

Luo Chen didn’t have a Soul Nurturing Banner, but he had a Soul-Refining Flag!

With Han Zhan’s abilities in Spirit Refining, combined with a slight modification of ”Mysteries of Gods and Ghosts,” wouldn’t this banner become an excellent place to reside?

After hearing Luo Chen’s explanation, Han Zhan showed hesitance.

”There might be some merit to it, but I’ll need to study it first.”

As he spoke, he leaped up and dove into the long banner.

Seeing this, the corners of Luo Chen’s mouth uncontrollably curled upward.

This Ten Thousand Soul Banner, now hosting a soul fragment of the Nascent Soul Stage, if it replenished low-order souls completely, could not only replicate the might of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner but might even rival the legendary Hundred Thousand Souls Banner.

More importantly!

It required no distraction from Luo Chen to control.

Thus, in battle, Luo Chen effectively had an extra powerful ally.

With Han Zhan’s capability, even if he couldn’t unleash the full might of his Nascent Soul prime, he was definitely above the average Golden Core Cultivator.

”With this, I finally have a bit of confidence to roam the Demon Sea!”
