Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1740: Chapter 639: Change in Beiji Yemo Tian! _2

Using high-order Purple Monkey Flowers to consume a large number of low-order Purple Monkey Flowers saves years, decades, or even centuries of effort!

”From now on, should a spiritual plant master specifically keep an eye on them?”

”That won’t be necessary. Purple Monkey Flowers are naturally nurtured and don’t require such meticulous care.”

Seeing Luo Chen’s concern, Sang Jiugong thought for a moment and then said, ”However, if you’re worried about accidents, I can arrange for a Foundation Establishment disciple to come to Purple Spirit Island and take a look every once in a while.”

”That sounds good. But a disciple?” Luo Chen asked, puzzled, looking at Sang Jiugong.

The other party smiled faintly, showing a sense of open-mindedness.

”I’m at this age now, and at most, I’ve got twenty or thirty good years left. I can’t make the journey to Purple Spirit Island to farm every year!”

Luo Chen was astonished.

He had heard from others before that Sang Jiugong was quite old, which is why he had established the sect to pass on his skills.

But he had not expected that the end was already near for the other party.

Twenty or thirty years... it’s just the time it takes for a Golden Core cultivator to undergo a deep closed-door cultivation.

His lips moved, but Luo Chen couldn’t speak for a while.

Sang Jiugong squatted by the edge of the Sky Pit and looked at the countless purple flowers crowded together in the dim light, his expression calm.

The restlessness of seeking fame and fortune was gone, replaced by a sense of tranquility and peacefulness.

”Don’t worry about comforting me. Everyone has this experience. Not everyone can keep walking on the road to Longevity. I’ve wandered, been in a sorry state, but have also had my moments of glory. When I think about it, tending these speechless flowers and plants gives me the most comfort. The satisfaction from fertilizing, repelling pests, and watching them grow healthily outweighs the joy of realm advancements...”

Listening to the old man mumbling on, Luo Chen stood there, pressing his lips tightly.

After a while, when the elder paused for breath, Luo Chen remarked, ”Unexpectedly, Elder Sang is so open-minded. It’s I who have been attached.”

Elder Sang stood up and stretched his old back.

”Ah, that’s just how it is now. Who knows when the true end comes, whether I’ll cry with regret over my lack of effort in early cultivation.”

Luo Chen was speechless.

Sang Jiugong looked at Luo Chen, hesitating before speaking: ”Qingyang Zi, there’s something, but I don’t know whether I should say it.”

Ordinarily, for such matters, Luo Chen would think if you don’t know, then don’t say it.

But at this moment, considering that a man’s words are kind when he is near death, he still let the other speak.

”As for my Tusang Gate, only a few disciples remain, and even the core inheritor is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, like a firefly in the vast Immortal Cultivation World. Perhaps a single wave could wash them away.”

”I know, our relationship isn’t deep.”

”But I hope that in the future, if Tusang Gate encounters difficulties, you can assist them within your abilities, even if just a little.”

In closing, he sincerely looked at Luo Chen.

”Consider this as Sang Jiugong truly owing you a favor. But I fear this favor can only be repaid in the next life.”

Facing the elder’s sincere and hopeful gaze, Luo Chen was silent for a while and eventually nodded slightly.

”Next life, then next life it is!”

Suddenly, Sang Jiugong laughed heartily.

The cheerful laughter echoed for over ten miles, causing the purple flowers in the Sky Pit to sway.

...

Three months later.

Two figures lingered in the Sky Pit for a long time, finally leaving satisfied.

The silhouette of the Black Flood Python rose and fell in the sea outside the island, and the elder leapt onto it first.

The Black Dragon seemed discontent but said nothing.

Their sight fell upon the figure in the sky.

Watching him cast spells, watching him arrange the formations.

When myriad lights rose from all directions and eventually faded into stillness, the place once covered in a toxic purple atmosphere suddenly vanished.

No, it didn’t vanish.

Purple Spirit Island is still there!

But seen through a cultivator’s Divine Consciousness, this area seemed empty.

Viewed with the naked eye, it appeared to be just an ordinary little island.

In the sky, Luo Chen looked at the array enveloping Purple Spirit Island with satisfaction.

All his years of array mastery had been fully showcased on this island.

Not only had he included concealment, confusion, and inducement functions, but he also used several lower-grade magic items as array eyes, setting up multiple killing arrays.

Even if lower-order demon beasts forced their way onto the island, they wouldn’t harm the growth base of the Purple Monkey Flowers—the Sky Pit.

If there’s truly anything lacking?

It might only be puppets!

If some of the powerful Third Order Puppets of the Luo Yun Sect were stationed on the island, the island’s security could have reached a higher level.

Unfortunately, Luo Chen has been overwhelmed with too many matters over the years and also needs to focus on cultivation. Otherwise, how could he not take advantage of having a master of the Puppet Dao like Han Zhan around to get some benefits?

Shaking his head, Luo Chen withdrew and gracefully descended onto Black King’s back.

”The matters here are temporarily settled.”

”Let’s go, return to the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering!”

Black King responded and then plunged into the sea, with two Great Cultivators standing on his back, Spirit Light blossoming around them, seeming unaware of the pressure from the seawater.

...

It took quite an effort to get here.

But returning, it was much faster.

Firstly, because Black King had already traveled this route several times and was familiar with it.

Secondly, having two powerhouses like Luo Chen and Sang Jiugong aboard. Even if they encountered Third-Order Demon Kings with strong territorial consciousness on the way, they would obediently give way upon sensing their aura.

The only thing that delayed their journey was probably the prolonged righteous vs demon war that lasted twenty to thirty years!

On the way back to the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, they had to pass through several territories of the Canghai Alliance.

The massive form of Black King naturally couldn’t hide from powerful figures when on the move.

Luckily, Luo Chen and Sang Jiugong both had Star-Rated Monster Hunter identities. After showing their waist tags and explaining their origins, the people from the Canghai Alliance chose to let them pass.

During this time, Luo Chen also took the initiative to inquire about the current state of the righteous vs demon war.

The news he heard was somewhat unexpected.

The collaboration between Mo Luo Sect and Penglai Immortal Sect was gaining momentum and even pushing back the numerically superior Canghai Alliance.

This should not be the case.

The Canghai Alliance not only had numbers on their side but also a Divine Transformation Great Power backing them!

If it were initially because the demon side had the advantage of surprise, it would make sense.

But in a prolonged war, how could the Canghai Righteous Alliance keep retreating?

After pondering over this, Luo Chen ultimately attributed the reason to the forces behind the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Zhongzhou, Tianyuan Daoist Sect!

One of the five most powerful forces in the entire Mountain Sea Realm, not inferior even when compared to Yuan Mo Sect.

They have countless top-level powerhouses, and their Great Powers are the best across the Five Continents!

Perhaps, it is because of Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s covert support that the great power from the Canghai Alliance with the surname Li hesitates to act, allowing his subordinates to act recklessly.

”However, these matters have nothing to do with me. I, Luo Chen, am just a rogue cultivator now, why care about such widespread chaos!”

After resolving the matters on Purple Spirit Island, Luo Chen was in a pretty good mood.

Unfortunately, this good mood quickly dissipated after returning to Penghu.

...

”In the past year, indeed many people have come looking for Master. But after Fishing Elder and the others returned and announced the completion of the Deadwood Ridge task, those people stopped pestering. After all, they all know that the task from Blood Independent Cultivator is the most important.”

Luo Chen held a stack of visiting cards, listening to Tian Xuan’s report on the situation during his absence.

When he learned that the Fishing Elder was heavily rewarded by the Blood Independent Cultivator after completing the task, with a Nascent Soul Insight bestowed, his expression became slightly serious.

He also had benefits here.

That was, his Four-Star Demonic Beast Hunter star level was elevated to Five-Star.

He just needed to visit the Demon Hunter Bureau once for reporting, and he would officially become a Five-Star Demonic Beast Hunter.

The promotion in star level had its benefits; firstly, the task cycle would be longer and less frequent, and secondly, he could receive a 50% discount on various resource exchanges at the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.

Including the rent of the Penghu Spiritual Land!

”Over at the Zhou Family, a talented Golden Core cultivator came seeking treasures; Master had previously promised them, so I couldn’t refuse.” Tian Xuan handed over a visiting card, ”Master, when would you like to meet him?”

Luo Chen thought for a moment, ”Let’s schedule it for tomorrow!”

Tian Xuan nodded and brought up the last matter.

”Ding Yi wants to see me?”

Luo Chen furrowed his brows, recalling previous concerns in his mind.

He was somewhat reluctant to go to Oblivion Sea.

However, since Ding Yi wants to see him, he naturally does not fear.

Without waiting to rest, he personally went to Moyun Cave that day and received an audience with Ding Yi and the Moyun Cave Lord.

However, before he could state his purpose, Ding Yi directly disclosed some bad news.

”There’s a change in Beiji Yemo Tian!”
