Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2175: Chapter 798: Greed in the Depths of the Soul, the Advent of Shenyuan (Part 2)

And now, though burdened by some people’s misunderstandings and sent to a remote place far from the Sect’s core, it indeed provided Qu Lingjun a peaceful environment to focus on cultivation, free from mundane affairs!

The efforts of her husband’s teacher are truly painstaking!

However!

With great dissatisfaction, Meng Qin’er looked around, ”Master is kind to you, but the spiritual energy concentration in this Cave Mansion is only Second Order Middle Grade. Your Spirit Root has four attributes, and it can’t help you quickly advance your realm. I’m afraid that when the deadline comes, it will be difficult to achieve Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization and break through to the Golden Core Realm.”

In response, Qu Lingjun could only sigh.

Luo Tian Sect now has only these conditions.

Not to mention him, even the Golden Core Cultivators in the Sect have to negotiate to use Third Order Cave Mansions.

He is currently only at the Fifth Level Foundation Establishment, and being able to get a Second Order Middle Grade Cave Mansion was already a special arrangement by Li Yingzhang on behalf of the master.

Moreover, the master didn’t just leave him alone and ignore him.

The storage bag that Li Yingzhang handed over to him contained many Second Order Upper Grade elixirs, all related to cultivation!

Not only that, it also included a ”Cleanse Origin Pill Formula” annotated with Luo Chen’s cultivation insights.

The intention behind this is self-evident!

It can only be said that within limited conditions, the master’s support for him was already the greatest.

”I don’t mind, but I’m worried about Qin’er, who has to endure these hard days with me.”

He reached out his hand, gently caressing the woman’s tender cheeks, full of emotion.

She refused to divorce him and even abandoned the luxurious environment of Fenghua Palace just to accompany him through the last decades of his life.

Added to this was her previous willingness to fight for Luo Tian Sect.

This sincere affection completely dissolved some of the barriers between him and Meng Qin’er.

Meng Qin’er rarely saw Qu Lingjun so gentle, and her cheeks couldn’t help but blush.

”You focus on your cultivation. I need to do my evening recitation as well.”

”Okay.”

Qu Lingjun smiled and entered the cultivation room.

But just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, he walked out with a face full of surprise.

”Qin’er, go inside and help me sense if I’m mistaken.”

”What’s the matter?”

Meng Qin’er perplexedly followed him into the cultivation room.

”Huh?”

In just a moment, Meng Qin’er noticed a difference from usual.

”Why is the spiritual energy concentration so much stronger?”

Qu Lingjun quickly nodded, ”Indeed, I didn’t sense it wrong. The concentration of spiritual energy here has indeed risen a small level compared to before. It even feels like it’s gradually increasing at a slight pace.”

Meng Qin’er firmly grasped his hand, ”With an environment of Second Order Upper Grade spiritual energy concentration, your hope of advancing to Late Stage Foundation Establishment is even greater!”

Qu Lingjun swallowed, instinctively looking in the direction where Luo Chen resides.

”Is it the master’s doing?”

...

Time slowly passed by.

The cultivators of Luo Tian Sect also started noticing the peculiar changes in Baili Qingchuan.

The concentration of spiritual energy became more abundant, and the growth rate of the numerous planted herbs accelerated significantly compared to before.

Some cultivators discovered new Second Order Spiritual Energy Spring Eyes forming in remote corners.

The Second Order Ascendant Grade Cave Mansions where several Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators resided suddenly emitted a massive amount of spiritual energy, pushing the concentration to the Third Order Stage, forcing them to leave their Cave Mansions to avoid affecting their physical bodies during cultivation.

All these anomalies were reported to Sect Master Li Yingzhang.

Li Yingzhang was also amazed and went to inquire of Luo Chen.

But the answer he received was to handle it appropriately and redistribute the Cave Mansions logically.

This calm answer undoubtedly declared that the anomaly was indeed the work of Luo Chen.

This deepened Li Yingzhang’s reverence and admiration for Luo Chen’s methods!

He immediately made appropriate arrangements and even, by analogy, specifically selected several high-quality Second Order Ascendant Grade Cave Mansions, setting up Gathering Spirit Arrays in an attempt to proactively guide the Cave Mansions’ advancement.

This change was unknown to the outer world.

Even Jiuling Yuanjun, upon receiving a notice from Luo Chen, did not perceive anything amiss when he re-entered Baili Qingchuan.

After all, it was merely a Third Order Spirit Vein!

Slightly stronger or weaker, it was insignificant to the Nascent Soul Realm.

At night, the radiant splendor was biting cold.

In the height of summer, some prematurely ripened First Order copper coin grasses were emitting a golden glow in the moonlight.

When Jiuling Yuanjun met Luo Chen, he was usually composed but seemed a little eager.

”Is it done?”

Luo Chen first returned the copper man engraved with the pill formula to him, then confidently nodded.

”If it wasn’t, would I have called you here, Friend?”

Jiuling Yuanjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is already the last batch of Nine Li Pill ingredients he has collected with all the power of the Jiuling Sect.

Earlier, he had sought several Fourth Order Pill Refiners, but all failed.

If this time is unsuccessful, he absolutely cannot gather the corresponding materials again in the short term.

Looking at the relieved expression of the opposite party, Luo Chen suddenly asked:

”Before handing over the elixir, I must ask, do you know the taboos of consuming this pill?”

Jiuling Yuanjun was taken aback, not understanding the implications.

Luo Chen explained: ”The Nine Li Pill is different from any pill I, Luo, have refined before. Its medicinal power is extremely aggressive; even during formation, it almost harmed the Medicine Child assisting me in Pill Refinement. Such a domineering elixir, to be applied above Nascent Soul, the consequences...”

He’s actually thinking on my behalf!

Jiuling Yuanjun chuckled, ”Our sect’s classics have a few experiences about pill consumption, left by the first ancestor. It’s said that upon taking the pill, the spiritual fetus will grow wildly in a short period. Using this opportunity, I shall separate it and achieve a spirit baby independently.”

Confidence was clear in his words.

Luo Chen casually asked: ”Is that tumor the spiritual fetus? Such a miraculous thing, I wonder how you congealed it?”

Jiuling Yuanjun’s smile vanished, coldly staring at Luo Chen: ”Friend, you are overstepping.”

The atmosphere suddenly became icy.

Luo Chen chuckled, ”Why be so sensitive? I was only thinking on behalf of a friend... it’s I, Luo, who spoke too much.”

Luo Chen sighed inwardly; Jiuling Yuanjun is indeed hard to fool!

He still wants to pry some superficial experiences.

Before this, he had researched the Nine Li Pill and that Copper Man for over a month but learned nothing.

Now with Jiuling Yuanjun being so cautious, perhaps he indeed has no fate with this!

Luo Chen also does not want to ruin the reputation he built bit by bit, so he took out nine jade vials from the storage ring.

Each vial individually contains one Nine Li Pill to prevent mutual influence.

Seeing the nine jade vials, Jiuling Yuanjun’s eyes lit up immediately.

But just as he was about to reach out to take them, Luo Chen suddenly withdrew his hand.

”Friend, you!”

”You brought someone here?”

Luo Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed, stepping out in one stride.

In the blink of an eye, he was atop Daqing Mountain.

With keen eyes, he looked down.

By the Black Water River, at some unknown time, stood a person quietly shrouded in a black robe.

That person was extremely emaciated; their weak shoulders almost couldn’t hold up the loose robe. Occasionally, when the night wind blew by the riverbank, a dry arm like a chicken paw would be revealed.

Yet this emaciated, unimposing existence seemed to gaze at Luo Chen condescendingly while quietly looking up at him.

Clearly, Luo Chen was high above, yet at this moment, he felt an immense insignificance.

Their eyes met instantly.

At that moment, Luo Chen distinctly noticed a hint of greed.

It was a greed not inferior to his own for the Second Nascent Soul, even deeper, as if emanating from the depths of the soul.

Just as if looking at prey.

A hoarse voice emerged from a throat as if burned by red-hot charcoal.

”Are you Dan Chenzi?”

Luo Chen suppressed the discomfort in his heart, swiftly searching for this person’s identity.

In the vast Eastern Wasteland, those who can exert such pressure on him, with such a realm’s existence...

Almost instantaneously, a name emerged.

”Five Elements Divine Essence!”

”You recognize me?”

The shadow remained cloaked in the black robe, but emitted a sound of surprise.

Luo Chen’s expression was calm, ”True Master Shenyuan’s fame, who doesn’t know it in the Eastern Wasteland? But at such late night, coming uninvited, is not a guest!”

True Master Shenyuan lowered his head, seemingly contemplating something.

Suddenly, he slightly raised his head.

”Inviting me up, doesn’t that make me a guest?”

Luo Chen’s heart tightened.

Under the current circumstances, could the Shenyuan Old Thief be so daring, intending to forcibly act against him?

In Daqing Mountain, initially stable Spirit Qi began to stir.

An oppressively fierce Evil Qi started to stir from the Earth Vein.

But not only that!

Another even more majestic aura rose skyward, alarming hundreds of cultivators of Luo Tian.

With these two auras, Luo Chen’s heart was slightly calmed.

He slowly unfolded the Nascent Soul Domain, coldly staring at True Master Shenyuan, softly uttering.

”Please!”
