Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1716: Chapter 631: Withered Bloodvine, Deadwood Ridge, Mandatory Nascent Soul Quest_2

Luo Chen slowly expressed his concerns, ”The Fifth-order Dry Blood Vine, at the Divine Transformation stage, possessing the might of a Nascent Soul, is not something we can contend with. Fishing Elder, surely you wouldn’t attempt something as futile as smashing an egg against a rock?”

The Fishing Elder looked at Luo Chen in surprise, not expecting him to have considered all these things in such a short time.

He smiled again.

”Rest assured, I wouldn’t court death myself.”

”In this mission, aside from you and me, I have also gathered two seven-star Demonic Beast Hunters, as well as a Great Cultivator at the late Golden Core stage.”

Luo Chen’s heart trembled!

Seven-star Demonic Beast Hunters, undoubtedly all at the late Golden Core stage.

And that Great Cultivator, even if not a seven-star Demonic Beast Hunter, is firmly in the late-stage Golden Core realm.

With such a lineup, it can definitely be considered high-end combat power from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, excluding the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

What makes someone like him have the same weight in Fishing Elder’s eyes as these individuals?

”It’s the mastery in body refining!”

As if blessed with enlightenment, Luo Chen thought of this.

Fishing Elder had privately exchanged body refinement techniques with him multiple times in the early years, and although the former had made little progress, his understanding of Luo Chen increased with each passing day.

It was this body refinement technique, comparable to the combat power of a Great Cultivator, that made Fishing Elder regard him so highly.

Moreover, with the Demon King Qingyang’s reputation out there, how could Fishing Elder not use such a formidable asset?

”Qingyang Zi, you needn’t worry too much either.”

”Aside from five of us, Xue True Master has also provided other means specifically to deal with the Fifth-order Dry Blood Vine.”

”This trip is not dangerous for you all, merely a journey afar. Furthermore, upon completion of the mission, you can gain Merit Points to elevate your Demon Hunter Star Level. Their seven-star levels are too high to advance much, but since you’re only at four stars now, you could move up a big notch.”

The Fishing Elder spoke confidently, his words brimming with faith in the mission’s success.

Under his persuasion, Luo Chen’s internal resistance gradually diminished.

However, before that, he had other questions to ask.

”Where is the mission located? I have urgent matters myself; I can’t afford too much delay.”

”What’s so urgent?” The Fishing Elder casually inquired.

Luo Chen did not respond.

The Fishing Elder chuckled, taking out a jade slip from his bosom.

Seeing Luo Chen reach to take it, he paused, holding onto the jade slip.

”Let’s make a small oath, you and me, that the situation of this journey shall not be disclosed.”

Luo Chen frowned and had to make a confidentiality oath together with the Fishing Elder, guided by their divine consciousness.

Such oaths don’t have strong binding power.

But once leaked, the other party will have a sense of it.

Thus, the consequences of leakage are imaginable.

Taking the jade slip from the Fishing Elder, Luo Chen immersed his divine consciousness within and observed carefully.

”Departing from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, heading east... traversing seven mountains and five seas... until reaching Deadwood Ridge.”

”Finished reading? Return it to me!”

The Fishing Elder requested the jade slip back, also saying: ”I’ll inform you of the specific departure time three months later. Use these three months to prepare in advance and adjust your state. Although the mission is said to be not dangerous, if an accident really happens, you’ll have to rely on yourself. I’m not guaranteeing anything on my side.”

”By the way, the other three who are going along, you’ve been reclusive these years, probably don’t know them. They are... hahaha, I’m so busy I got confused, how could you not be familiar with Huangfu Song?”

Listening to the Fishing Elder reveal the names and stories of the three, Luo Chen’s expression turned somewhat peculiar.

The Fishing Elder assumed he was uncomfortable traveling with Huangfu Song and didn’t think much of it, giving a few more words of advice before leaving hastily.

Luo Chen left the Demon Hunter Bureau on his own accord.

Walking down the street, Luo Chen’s peculiar expression gradually faded.

”It happens to be on the way!”

If he wasn’t mistaken, the map on that jade slip was clearly in the same direction as where he needed to go to Purple Spirit Island.

Just that Deadwood Ridge comes first, then Purple Spirit Island follows.

In an instant, a spark of inspiration flashed in Luo Chen’s mind.

”Indeed, the Black King mentioned before that on his route to Purple Spirit Island, he had taken quite a detour merely to avoid a certain extremely dangerous ridge. Now it seems, it must be Deadwood Ridge, where the Fifth-order Dry Blood Vine resides.”

Understanding this, Luo Chen started to feel more lively inside.

As a Tool Casting Master, he had mostly been secluded in Penghu over the years without stepping out.

If he suddenly left, it would draw attention, not to mention he wouldn’t have a good explanation for the people at Wu Zhong Valley and the Zhou and Chen Families.

If someone observant noticed, and knew about the Purple Monkey Flower, there’s no guaranteeing someone knowledgeable wouldn’t guess Luo Chen’s intentions.

By then, it might rather attract calamity.

But if he were to be forcibly taken out in the name of a Blood Independent Cultivator’s mission, there wouldn’t be much controversy.

Even if someone were curious, they would only focus on the notorious Blood Independent Cultivator.

”Three months, huh?”

”I should have Lu Shanjun and them go ahead.”

Luo Chen muttered to himself internally.

...

After returning from the Demon Hunter Bureau, Luo Chen once again shut himself away.

A large batch of materials was gathered from the Zhang Family, then sent into the Pill and Tool Refining Hall through Tian Xuan’s hand.

Outside, indeed there were people constantly watching Luo Chen’s movements.

To Wu Zhong Valley and the Zhou Family, they only thought Luo Chen was crafting a defensive magic item for them.

To Ding Yi and the Moyun Cave Lord of Mount Moyun, they believed he was anxiously crafting the Xuan Turtle Treasure to cross the Oblivion Sea.

The Fishing Elder also understood Luo Chen’s situation through subordinates and only smiled. Seeing Luo Chen so busy, it seems he was truly committed to the task.

Three months passed in an instant.

This day, Ding Yi found some spare time and actively paid a visit to Luo Chen.
