Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2245: Chapter 824: Stars Gather Around, Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis (Part 2)

”Mr. Yao, have you made any headway on the Ti Hu Pill I mentioned last time?”

”Deng Taiyue, why are you so anxious? Although the Ti Hu Pill is only Fourth Order, it was known as a pseudo Fifth-Order Divine Pill in ancient times. How could it be that easy to refine? Moreover, the pill formula you provided is missing as much as forty percent, especially the most crucial main ingredient. How can I deduce a complete formula in a short time?”

”Mr. Yao, the Vitality Boosting Pill I require...”

”This pill is not difficult; I have already refined it. But over a hundred years, I can only supply you with ten bottles at most.”

”Ten bottles?”

Hearing this answer, the person inquiring showed some disappointment on his face.

The Vitality Boosting Pill is a Fourth Order cultivation pill that requires long-term consumption to be effective.

In a hundred years, ten bottles mean one bottle every ten years, only one pill per year. How could that be effective?

Someone nearby chuckled, ”The Alchemy Sect is visiting today. Daoist Zhang, why not ask him for help? I’ve heard the Alchemy Sect’s pill refinement technique is so advanced that they rarely fail. If you want a stable supply...”

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Yao, with a bushy white beard, snorted coldly from the side.

”Alchemy Sect’s Luo Chen is but a young fledgling, with less than three hundred years of cultivation. How can his pill refinement technique be considered profound?”

The person who made the suggestion awkwardly replied, ”But the peers at Lingtian Pass speak so convincingly of him. Besides, that Jiuling Yuanjun, though only at the sixth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, has a status comparable to a Great Cultivator, thanks also to the Alchemy Sect refining pills for him.”

Mr. Yao’s face turned somewhat grim, and he said solemnly, ”The Alchemy Sect may have some skill, but in my opinion, they are likely ones who cleverly seek shortcuts. The pills he refines for others are often one-off trades, rarely long-term collaborations. The Vitality Boosting Pill that Daoist Zhang requires is a cultivation pill; the most important thing is a stable supply. In my view, perhaps the Alchemy Sect can refine it, but to be stable...”

Before he finished speaking, Master Zhang hurriedly nodded.

He noticed that Mr. Yao was a little angry, and there was no need to provoke him further.

Ten bottles in a hundred years would be ten bottles. By planning the usage time well, it could save ten years of arduous cultivation!

Seeing his approval, Mr. Yao’s expression improved significantly.

But once the conversation started, it couldn’t stop.

He stroked his beard, speaking eloquently.

”There are many pill refiners in this world, but few are at the Fourth Order. In the past, only the Alchemy Emperor was my equal. Now that the Alchemy Emperor has fallen, Daoist Bian and Hun Yuanzi have long resided in the Dark Abyss Sect without leaving. I don’t even have the chance to exchange insights on the Dao of Alchemy with others.”

”I heard that a new master of the Dao of Alchemy emerged in the Eastern Wasteland recently. I traveled thousands of miles with great difficulty to exchange ideas with him.”

Everyone knew who the master of the Dao of Alchemy he spoke of was.

Wasn’t it the Alchemy Sect’s Luo Chen they discussed earlier?

”But after sending three visiting cards in succession, that person still avoided meeting me. I fear he might be famous in name only, afraid to be seen...”

Everyone suddenly realized why Mr. Yao was willing to leave the safe Seven Cave Mountain for the dangerous Lingtian Pass despite the looming threat of war.

It turned out he wished to seek advice from the Alchemy Sect!

But the other party kept avoiding him. Could it truly be as he said, that the man was a person of empty reputation?

Before Mr. Yao could finish his lament, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly paused.

A glint descended gracefully to the ground.

A tall figure was revealed, clad in a white robe with a high crown, his appearance handsome and bright.

”Another unfamiliar Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator has arrived,” Master Zhang murmured.

Mr. Yao nodded, not paying much heed.

Observing his realm, which was merely at the third layer of the Nascent Soul stage, although slightly stronger than his own, it was not very impressive.

Given his status as a Fourth Order Pill Refiner, not to mention the third layer of the Nascent Soul stage, he even treated Middle Stage and Late-Stage Great Cultivators as equals.

But soon enough, he noticed something amiss.

”Brother Luo, I heard you left seclusion; I didn’t expect it to be true. This trip of mine has not been in vain.”

Jiuling Yuanjun stepped out with a bright smile on his face.

The young man also smiled and asked with concern, ”How is the injury you sustained before?”

Jiuling Yuanjun patted his left arm, ”It’s well, thanks to the healing elixir you sent, which completely healed me by the second year.”

Another person approached, Elder Fu from the Shen Fu Sect.

The young man asked with a grin, ”I heard that Daoist Ye Lan has also left seclusion?”

Elder Fu replied with satisfaction, ”Indeed, though somewhat hurried, his realm has finally stabilized. The Shen Fu Sect has successors, and even if I were to leave this world now, I could do so without regrets.”

”You jest, sir. During the last Dead Spirit Battle, your commanding presence in driving the Golden Armored Giant to suppress and kill the Six-winged Golden Cicada Demon Emperor was impressive. Surely, you can live another five hundred spring and autumn years.”

The young man, chatting and laughing, responded to the greetings of others reaching out to him.

”Friend Xiao, it’s been five years, and you’ve become even more beautiful!”

”Master Li, let’s discuss that matter later.”

”Great Palace Master, what brings you here?”

...

The journey was lively.

It seemed as if everyone had a close relationship with him!

Even those he didn’t know, upon introducing themselves, were met with nothing but humility from the young man, who made it a point to get to know them.

After Jiuling Yuanjun and his circle finished greeting him, the host of the occasion, Elder Lu, appeared with a big smile.

”Friend Luo, it has been years, and your charm surpasses the past!”

”Elder Lu, those words sound ambiguous. Someone who doesn’t know might think you missed me a lot.”

”Haha, come, let me introduce you to some friends!”

”As I wish, dare I not come?”

”Master Hua, this is the Fourth Order Pill Refiner you’ve been yearning to meet, the Alchemy Sect’s Luo Chen!”

...

”So, he is the Alchemy Sect!”

Behind the crowd, Mr. Yao clutched his bushy beard tightly.

The image of an immortal sage was instantly shattered at this moment.
