Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1738: Chapter 638: You Have No Choice, I Will Let You Die with Some Dignity Part 2

Luo Chen shook his head, ”The fault is not yours, nor mine. It’s just the command of the True Master, you had no choice.”

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master was momentarily stunned, feeling a sense of regret, but also realized something was amiss.

It’s one thing to say that the Blood Nightmare Mo Luo forced him.

But to say he was blameless felt a bit disingenuous.

After all, he personally joined in the encirclement of Luo Chen on Coldlight Island.

If it weren’t for that incident, the Blood Nightmare Mo Luo wouldn’t have targeted him.

The cause and effect eventually lay on his side.

But why would Luo Chen take the initiative to exonerate him?

His gaze involuntarily fell on the ring, his storage ring.

Immediately, the Hundred Craft Mountain Master let out a mocking laugh.

”You’re thinking about my inheritance, aren’t you!”

Luo Chen said calmly, ”We’re both Tool Casting Crafters; you must have sensed a bit of my prohibition attainment from the seals on this jade box. To break the prohibition on your storage ring, how much time do you think I’d need?”

”Seven to eight years? Three to five years?”

In any case, the other party didn’t need to beg for what was already in his grasp.

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master hesitated for a moment, then immediately asked, ”Then what do you want, my Tool Casting Technique?”

”I, Luo, am not interested in that.”

Not for the inheritance, nor for the Tool Casting Technique? So what did Demon King Qingyang really want?

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master was completely at a loss.

However, his confusion did not last long.

With a lower order prisoner, Luo Chen didn’t need to beat around the bush; their conversation earlier was simply to calm the other’s emotions.

Seeing that the conversation had turned amicable, he got straight to the point.

”What Array did you use when you ambushed me before?”

”Beidou Seven Peaks Formation.”

”Beidou Seven Peaks Formation?”

”Yes, this formation is something I improved from the Beidou Sealing Demon Formation. Demon Beasts are massive, and many are exceedingly agile. The Beidou Sealing Demon Formation is a Fourth-order Formation used specifically in the North Sea Cultivation World to suppress powerful Demon Beasts. And for those formidable Physical Cultivators, their body tempering can rival Demon Beasts. After I improved it, combined with my Natal Magic Item, it serves its purpose well.”

As he spoke, the Hundred Craft Mountain Master felt a sense of pride.

But this smugness quickly dissipated.

After all, despite having the advantage, he still lost to Luo Chen; what was there to be proud of?

He looked at Luo Chen in confusion, ”Why do you ask? Are you afraid of encountering a similar formation in the future and want to prepare a countermeasure in advance?”

Luo Chen shook his head, ”Not exactly. After all, there are few who, like you, would spend twenty years chasing me. I may not claim to be as clever as a demon, but I am not a fool. Being ambushed once is enough; I will not fall into others’ formations again in the future.”

In response to these words, the Hundred Craft Mountain Master was silent.

He did not doubt the other’s confidence, nor did he deny his own patience.

How many fools like him are there in this world?

After a prolonged silence, he spoke again.

”Then what do you want to know?”

Luo Chen replied bluntly, ”I want to know how you improved this formation and how you elevated its power to that level.”

So, he was interested in this aspect!

Upon realizing this, the Hundred Craft Mountain Master decided to bide his time.

”Why should I tell you?”

Luo Chen coldly said, ”You have no choice.”

”I can choose to die!”

”Your life and death are in my hands. Do you think you have a choice? Perhaps you don’t know, but I also know some techniques for human puppetry. Besides, I am acquainted with a Golden Core Cultivator from the Sky Demon Star Sect; it is said that they are particularly skilled at using Demon Beast Inner Pills and Cultivator’s Golden Cores to refine secret treasures. A Cultivator’s Golden Core with a complete soul should make a formidable item.”

”You!!!”

The Divine Consciousness trembled, the voice filled with anger.

But after the anger, the Hundred Craft Mountain Master quickly calmed down, ”Even if I tell you, what benefit is there? Will you let me go?”

”Let you go? Where would you go?” Luo Chen’s tone was calm, ”In this vast sea, seldom visited by anyone, even if you wish to perform a soul snatch, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice. Moreover, you and I have a life-and-death feud; I will not let you go.”

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master, infuriated, laughed, ”Then what do you want?”

”Tell me the answer, and I will let you die with dignity.” Luo Chen’s demeanor was calm, his words serene yet weighty, leaving others with no doubt about his sincerity.

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master once again fell into silence.

Luo Chen didn’t say much, nor did he take any further actions of guarantee like making a vow, avoiding unnecessary embellishments.

At this moment, he was the one in control.

The Divine Consciousness of the Hundred Craft Mountain Master was fixed on him. After a long while, a faint voice from within the cave mansion could be heard.

”I can tell you.”

”Good, then!”

...

On a small island fifty miles away from Purple Spirit Island.

The Black King lay there, gazing at a dirt pit, a look of reluctant longing in its eyes.

”Master, it’s such a waste! This is a Golden Core of the eighth layer, even though there isn’t much Qi Power left, if I eat it, I might directly step into the Third-Order Late Phase realm.”

Luo Chen couldn’t be bothered to glance at it. After digging the pit, he retrieved a piece of quality stone from the Accumulated Thunder Treasured Ring and was about to inscribe on it.

However, just as he was about to write, a voice came forth.

”No need, old man has let down the Hundred Craft Mountain, let down friends, and failed himself. What face does he have to erect a tombstone and inscribe words.”

Luo Chen responded indifferently, and put the stone back.

”It’s just as well, lest a tombstone draws people to dig up the grave later, thinking it’s a predecessor’s chance.”

”Haha, friend, you really have a sense of humor.” The Hundred Craft Mountain Master chuckled, but the laughter was a bit bittersweet.

Gazing at the pit, the Golden Core seemed to tremble.

After four hundred years of diligent cultivation, having once been glorious, is this the end?

The sea breeze blew over, salty, damp, and hot.

As if guessing what the Hundred Craft Mountain Master was thinking, Luo Chen lightly comforted: ”There is a saying in the world about reincarnation, maybe in a thousand years you can tread the path of cultivation again.”

”Reincarnation?” the Hundred Craft Mountain Master murmured, ”Is it in that Bieluo Yellow Springs place, or the Netherworld realm, or the Returning Ruins of all things?”

Luo Chen remained silent; he hadn’t reached that realm, how could he know the truth of the legends.

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master sighed, ”Take out my storage ring!”

Luo Chen was slightly surprised and took out the dark green ring he had in his arms.

The dim Golden Core trembled for a moment, depositing the remaining Qi Power onto the ring, flashing brightly before fading into silence.

Now looking again, it had entirely lost its Divine Consciousness prohibition, Qi Power imprint, even the fused Blood Essence had been forced out.

At this moment, this ring was a masterless item!

”Master, what are you doing?”

”Consider it as the extra reward for your kept promise! But it was originally your spoils, after all, this just saves you several years of effort.” The Hundred Craft Mountain Master smiled, then directed the Qi Power to take out a set of clean bright-yellow Daoist robe, an Ascendant Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword, and a jade seal inscribed with ’Liang’s Hundred Craft’.

Under the watchful eyes of Luo Chen and the Black King, the Daoist robe, Flying Sword, and jade seal all fell into the pit.

”The rest of the items, they will be yours in the future, friend.”

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master sighed faintly, the Golden Core fell into the pit.

Then, with the reversal of Qi Power, the Golden Core disintegrated layer by layer, a wisp of soul fragment appeared in the world.

Under the gentle sunshine, the soul fragment gradually dissipated.

Luo Chen quietly watched everything until, through Divine Consciousness, there was no longer any breath of the Hundred Craft Mountain Master, he swept his sleeve and covered the pit with earth entirely.

Turning away.

No one would ever guess that this newly covered patch of yellow earth was the burial of a Sect Master, a Great Cultivator of the eighth layer Golden Core.

The Black King, wandering on its massive form, closely followed behind.

”Master, that old fellow ambushed you, how come you let him self-dissolve and have the chance to reincarnate?”

Luo Chen did not answer, only his footsteps grew faster and faster.

Before long, he returned to Purple Spirit Island.

Back in the cave mansion, he took out the Beidou Seven Peaks Formation analysis jade slip that the Hundred Craft Mountain Master had left him before he died.

Looking at the writings there, Luo Chen fell into contemplation.

”Powerful Natal Magic Items can amplify Qi Power, formidable arrays can amplify oneself and restrict others.”

”Combining the two, if coupled with a decent energy source, can it possibly perfect my initial concept of the Nascent Soul Domain?”

He opened his mouth and exhaled, three streaks of liuguang swiftly emerged.

Upon closer inspection, they were clearly two pills and a tripod.

Golden Core, Origin Core, Primordial Chaos Tripod!
