Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1825: Chapter 675: Ghost Vine, Old Tree, Dusk Crow, and the Third Person_2

Speaking of this, he looked at Han Zhan with a hopeful expression.

”Apart from soul defense magic items and resisting illusion attacks with strong divine soul endowment, are there any other methods to defend against these strange attacks?”

Han Zhan replied, ”If your divine soul endowment is insufficient, you will inevitably be naturally suppressed and unable to defend against them.”

Not possible?

Luo Chen felt a bit disappointed.

He thought that Han Zhan, who was versed in the way of spirit refining, would, aside from cultivating to strengthen the divine soul and attacking others’ souls, also be skilled in defending against divine soul attacks. Yet he didn’t expect the other party had no methods either.

While Luo Chen felt dejected, Han Zhan suddenly spoke.

”Though it’s indefensible, I do have at least three methods to forcefully exit the illusion realm after falling victim to it.”

Three methods!

Luo Chen’s eyes brightened.

He licked his dry lips and said, ”Please, senior, teach me!”

Han Zhan chuckled lightly, ”Why should I teach you for nothing?”

Luo Chen was stunned.

Didn’t you mention it because you intended to teach me?

In an instant, Luo Chen realized.

Although he had a good relationship with Han Zhan, when it came to related secret cultivation methods, they were never given for free.

They always involved an exchange of interests!

For instance, the Black Emperor Ointment Dan prescription was exchanged for Han Zhan’s ”rental” of the Primordial Chaos Tripod and Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Like the Art of Origin Core and the complete Nascent Soul Formation Pill Recipe, which were exchanged for Luo Chen purchasing Soul Nourishing Wood for him.

Especially the latter, where Luo Chen asked for an exorbitant price, getting a great deal.

One could say the reason Luo Chen could roam freely during the Golden Core Period, defeating those of the same rank with a flick of his fingers, was largely due to the vast Qi power provided by the Second Prime Elixir.

There are no free lunches in this world.

Understanding this, Luo Chen calmly asked, ”Is there something you want, senior?”

”You’re quite smart, figuring it out so quickly,” Han Zhan replied with a smile.

Luo Chen asked, ”What is it?”

Han Zhan responded with a counter-question, ”Do you remember why I agreed to accompany you into the Land of Fallen Demons?”

Why did Han Zhan want to enter the Land of Fallen Demons?

This question, Luo Chen had asked in the past.

And he had already received an answer from the other party.

”To resurrect through possession?” Luo Chen gasped.

Han Zhan’s smile disappeared, and his tone turned somewhat grim.

”It’s good you remember. As just a remnant body, I didn’t take the risk just to protect your path. This ancient cultivation site is filled with countless opportunities, attracting many Nascent Soul experts.”

”There will definitely be a great battle then!”

”I want you to assist me at a critical moment, helping me seize the body of a Nascent Soul True Master of the Human Clan so that I can perform a soul snatch!”

Luo Chen’s tone was bitter, ”Senior Han Zhan, are you joking with me?”

”What do you think?” Han Zhan asked in return.

Luo Chen fell into silence.

This time, Han Zhan took on the role of patient guide.

”Have you not been preparing to battle Nascent Soul experts all along? All your cultivation has been done with Nascent Soul beings as your imaginary enemies. Now that the time has come, are you afraid?”

”Besides, even if I don’t teach you these methods, shouldn’t you repay kindness and do something for me?”

”Think about all the way from Cangwu Mountain, to Mysterious Rock Island, then Feileng City, and now to the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, and even into the Land of Fallen Demons. How many times has this old man helped you?”

”Yes, some help was given in equal exchange, in mutual willingness. But help in cultivation questions, technique creation, guidance on the Nascent Soul formation path, and even helping you repel a generation of Demon Emperors, have I ever asked for repayment for these?”

”Luo Chen, I believe in your character!”

”Though even if I didn’t take this opportunity to raise this matter, when the critical moment comes, you would choose to help me. But I prefer to make things clear, so that when the time comes, we can cooperate sincerely, and you won’t blame me for your lack of preparation afterwards.”

Imposing gratitude to seek repayment?

No!

It’s about trusting a gentleman with integrity!

Luo Chen is a person with principles and standards. As long as it doesn’t involve threats to his own life, he is very willing to be a gentleman.

Over the years, Han Zhan silently contributed, all for this moment.

”Sigh...”

A soft sigh echoed mysteriously.

”I will pass to you a solution most suited for dispelling illusions, named... the Kai Mao Technique. Since you have cultivated the Art of Origin Core and Bead Curtain Lock among Luo Yun Sect’s Three Skills and Two Techniques, cultivating this technique will naturally be seamless. Listen carefully...”

The words by his ear flowed like a gentle stream.

Luo Chen’s expression was unpredictable as if changing clouds.

But ultimately, he did not interrupt Han Zhan’s teachings, quietly listening to the so-called ”Kai Mao Technique.”

...

Ah...

The hoarse crowing spread melodiously within the ancient forest.

Ferocious black vines slowly wrapped around a fat man.

”You have returned.”

”Yes, I have returned.”

”Since you escaped, you should not have returned.”

”Could a mere remnant thought be considered escaping? My true body, after all, is trapped in that Falling Demon Abyss, never to see daylight!”

”No one is to blame for that. True Monarch said back then that we should not touch the Heritage Land, you were too greedy.”

”Greedy? Is it being honest to guard this Hundred Crows Ghost Forest forever?”

”I don’t know. All I know is back then, True Monarch awakened our spirit intelligence, and we no longer lived in muddled ignorance.”

”Old Ghost, True Monarch has already fallen!”

”No, I don’t believe it. True Monarch’s might was unrivaled across ancient times! Tianyuan couldn’t suppress him, Qi Xia couldn’t kill him. He only took the wrong path and started over with the help of others.”

”Hmm? Old Ghost, it seems like you know more?”

Among the woods, it was quiet and tranquil.

Tai Sui’s expression was uncertain. After a while, he said firmly, ”I do not know if True Monarch can return to the world, but I’ve had enough of this Land of Fallen Demons. Last time, you took the Soul Nourishing Wood and helped my remnant thought escape. This time, I’m not asking for help, just that you do not stop me!”
