Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2051: Chapter 753: The Mirage Dragon’s Realm

With the previous blessing of Yuan Qi gifted during the Alchemy Saint’s ascension, he felt he was very close to breaking through to the Nascent Soul Second Layer.

...

Another two months passed.

On this day, the sound of clear footsteps came from within the Cave Mansion.

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at the visitor.

Fu Qinglan pursed her lips, looking disappointed.

”Failed?”

”Yes, I’m sorry to have disappointed Brother Dao.”

”It’s fine, just find another Fourth-order Illusion Core!”

Luo Chen said indifferently, then rose to his full height, his white robe fluttering lightly.

Fu Qinglan opened her mouth but finally could only nod with reluctance.

”It’s troubling Brother Dao. It’s just that Fourth-order magical beasts are hard to find, we may have to slowly search for the beast.”

Who would have expected!

Luo Chen simply smiled lightly, as if it was no big deal.

”Come with me!”

Fu Qinglan, puzzled, rose into the air to follow Luo Chen.

However, in the moment of maneuvering the Outer World Heaven and Earth Qi, she staggered slightly.

Luo Chen stopped, frowning as he looked at her.

Fu Qinglan quickly explained: ”Having my Nascent Soul outside for a long time, now returning, the communication with the outer world’s spirit Qi is a bit unsmooth, it’s no big deal.”

Luo Chen nodded, accepting her explanation.

The Nascent Soul itself naturally manipulates Heaven and Earth Qi effortlessly, but having been outside for a long time, suddenly re-entering the body becomes unfamiliar, that’s perfectly normal.

Thinking of this, he also understood why this time’s Centennial Competition was completely different from other ordinary Centennial Competitions, needing Protector involvement.

At this moment, people like Fu Qinglan are most vulnerable, focusing solely on seeking Dao, unable to safeguard themselves.

However, this made him curious, on what basis did Shi Ju dare to enter Cave Heaven alone without bringing a Protector initially. Although later, when participating in the competition, he brought Qi Xiongcheng. But the initial decision showed that Shi Ju indeed had the confidence to protect himself.

What was he relying on?

...

miles outside Fu Qinglan’s cultivation Cave Mansion.

There is a vast plain, broad in range, ten miles in length and width, roughly equivalent to a small town.

But this plain doesn’t seem that broad from the perspective.

Merely because three large mountains around form an encircling posture, wrapping it tightly, leaving only one exit.

Luo Fu and Fu Qinglan’s footsteps stopped here.

Fu Qinglan looked around confusedly, ”Is there a Fourth-order magical beast here? Hidden so deeply, I didn’t even notice when I got close?”

Luo Chen appeared calm, bending down, placing his hand on the grass-covered ground.

”There’s none now, but soon, there will be.”

A Jade Box laid with soft silk was placed on the ground by him.

Fu Qinglan’s eyes sharpened, her expression slightly changed.

Inside the Jade Box, a white Elixir Pill emanated a rich light.

If she hadn’t seen wrongly, that should be one of the five elixirs personally refined by the Alchemy Saint before his ascension.

Why was Luo Chen taking out such a thing now?

Such a precious item, shouldn’t it be preserved well?

While she was puzzled and bewildered, she happened to see Luo Chen who stood up looking back at her, his eyes were intriguing.

Fu Qinglan was taken aback, then shook her head.

”Brother Luo Chen, don’t worry, it’s your property, I have no intention of coveting it.”

Luo Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth, saying nothing.

He then leaped into the air.

His ten fingers flew, casting prohibitions one after another that shot into the three surrounding mountains.

Moreover, several small triangular flags were shot into the ground like sharp arrows.

Fu Qinglan blinked, Luo Chen was even proficient in the art of setting arrays?

And observing his so casual demeanor, it was evident he already had a full understanding of the terrain and earth veins of this place.

But still, can these Mana Prohibitions and the array set by the Array Flags restrict the ethereal Fourth-order magical beast?

The next moment, Fu Qinglan’s pupils contracted.

In the void, a Gray miniature Cauldron flew out, spinning around.

The mouth of the Cauldron inverted, like a lid, covering this stretch of void.

The white-robed Daoist pointed a finger at the Gray miniature Cauldron, and the Small Tripod vanished into the void, no longer revealing any traces.

”Next, we just Wait For the Enemy.”

In the sky, Luo Chen said so.

Fu Qinglan’s gaze constantly shifted between him and the glowing ball of light that was the open Jade Box on the ground, her expression skeptical.

...

One day.

Two days.

As time drifted by, the suspicion on Fu Qinglan’s face grew more intense.

Finally, unable to resist, she sought out Luo Chen who was quietly cultivating on a mountain peak.

”Brother Dao, can this really work?”

Luo Chen opened his eyes, calmly staring at her.

He said nothing, just stared until she felt unnerved.

After a moment, Luo Chen suddenly sighed.

”With nothing else to do, how about telling me about cultivation at the Tianyuan Daoist Sect? I’ve been a carefree wanderer since childhood, quite curious about this sect cultivation.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a table and a cushion appeared before him.

On the table, there was wine, dried meat, and some fragrant beans.

Fu Qinglan hesitated a moment, then sat down.

Luo Chen filled her wine, and she began telling some stories about cultivation in the Sect, both fulfilling Luo Chen’s curiosity and killing time.

”I was twelve years old when I was detected with Water Wood Dual Spirit Roots, passed the Daoist Sect test, and began cultivating in the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range. It’s been over two hundred years since, almost three hundred years now!”

”Cultivation within the Sect is actually very dull and tedious.”

”Every day there are morning lessons, evening classes, reading the classics, and Drawing Qi through Meridian Opening...”

”There are seventy-two famous peaks in the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range, mostly occupied by Nascent Soul True Masters for cultivation. And these Nascent Soul True Masters mostly come from Noble Families and Great Clans. Our primary focus isn’t on master-disciple inheritance, ordinary cultivation, apart from listening to the Daoist Sect Elders’ classes, is mostly self-directed.”
