Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2549: Chapter 936:

Since someone is able to create such Gu insects, and they are still present in the world, it indicates that the body refining techniques of the South Border have not become extinct like those of the Eastern Wasteland.

A well-preserved cultivation system is the best goal for him!

A First Order Qi Power Gu is not sufficient, but what about a higher-order one?

”And the secret technique mentioned by Master Ming Lei!”

For a moment, Luo Chen recalled the straightforward conversation he had with Master Ming Lei earlier in the day, where he disclosed some information.

After achieving the Nascent Soul Realm, Master Ming Lei was naturally not content to remain secluded.

Thus, he frequently traveled in hopes of connecting with other Nascent Soul True Masters in the South Border to exchange cultivation experiences together.

During this process, he was noticed by the Supreme Elder of the nearby Feng Family.

Leaving aside their personal grievances, a Nascent Soul gathering that Master Ming Lei participated in earlier is worth mentioning.

At that gathering, Master Ming Lei, being a rogue cultivator, struggled without a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation method, so he spent a great cost to acquire some useful secret cultivation methods.

”Flash Thunder Technique” was one of the gains from that event.

As he said, during the gathering, someone also presented a high-level body refinement technique, but due to its extremely stringent cultivation conditions and inherent danger, no one ended up acquiring it.

If Luo Chen wishes to advance further in this path, Master Ming Lei believes that this body refinement technique might be beneficial to him.

At the very least, it can offer some reference.

As long as this time Luo Chen helps him resolve the crisis, he promises to introduce Luo Chen into that circle and assist him in obtaining that high-level body refinement technique.

”I want to enter that circle. I also want to get my hands on that high-level body refinement technique!”

Luo Chen pursed his lips, slowly closed his eyes, and continued his cultivation.

Even if the Spirit Qi density here is average and refining Spirit Qi is rather troublesome, cultivation is a gradual process that cannot be neglected.

...

In another room not far away, Master Ming Lei gently put down the box in his hand.

Cheng Bai was full of expectations, but upon seeing this, his heart sank.

”Lord, is the Faceless Gu not adequate?”

Master Ming Lei sighed, ”It’s not that it’s inadequate. If catalyzed with the secret technique, it can indeed help me cultivate the ’Flash Thunder Technique.’ But time is running out.”

Cheng Bai was startled and immediately considered the agreed time between the Feng Family and Master Ming Lei.

The time is indeed near!

At that point, if Master Ming Lei does not voluntarily yield Wind and Thunder Gorge, the other party will resort to force.

In such a short time, relying on the Faceless Gu catalyzed by secret techniques makes it hard to reach the beginner level of the ”Flash Thunder Technique,” let alone achieve completion.

Cheng Bai cautiously said, ”With the help of Qitian Senior whom I’ve introduced, he should be able to overcome this calamity, right?”

”I’m afraid it’s very difficult!” Master Ming Lei is not optimistic about this upcoming confrontation.

He has allies, while Feng Bu Yan, as a long-term Nascent Soul, likely has connections as well.

If Qitian did not boast that he can handle anything at the Divine Transformation stage, perhaps he would have more confidence.

But the other party’s bragging greatly reduces his credibility.

In cultivator spell battles, the realm is one aspect, various magic items and secret techniques are another, and combat experience cannot be overlooked.

Qitian is a body refiner, a lineage long since declined.

Presumably, he is lacking in terms of magic items.

And with such a reckless personality, it’s likely he could easily be tempted into traps during combat.

”Still, I should contact the few friends I met at the last gathering and see if they can spare some time to help me!”

Thinking this way, Master Ming Lei’s gaze fell upon Cheng Bai’s eager face.

He gave a slight smile, ”You’ve been with me since before I formed my Nascent Soul. It’s been nearly a hundred years now, hasn’t it!”

Cheng Bai nodded vigorously.

A hundred years is long, yet also short.

In the blink of an eye, it feels like just yesterday.

Master Ming Lei smiled and said, ”Over these hundred years, you’ve contributed greatly on my behalf, and now you seek out the Faceless Gu for me and introduce help. You are indeed devoted.”

Cheng Bai sincerely replied, ”It’s only what I should do. Without you, Lord, I wouldn’t have been able to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage either.”

Master Ming Lei accepted this gratitude as a matter of course.

However, he soon shifted the topic.

”If Wind and Thunder Gorge cannot be maintained, what will you choose to do then? Will you join the Feng Family or flee with me?”

Cheng Bai answered without hesitation, ”Naturally, I will follow you, Lord!”

”Think carefully about it. The current South Border is tumultuous. The Gate of Life and Death has closed its doors, ignoring worldly affairs. Within, the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance stirs trouble, while outside, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect is eager to act. I am a loner, drifting around; following me will be fraught with danger!”

Cheng Bai’s eyes flickered, showing a hint of wavering.

Master Ming Lei waved his hand, ”Forget it, go back and think it over. I must employ more tactics, as Wind and Thunder Gorge is, after all, the place where I achieved the Dao; how can I easily surrender it?”

After dismissing Cheng Bai, Master Ming Lei took out several letter poisons, but after releasing them, they were like stones sinking into the ocean without any response.

Ultimately, he is just a rogue cultivator lacking a firm foundation, who can help him anyway?

His aimless gaze landed on the lonely jade box on the table.

Inside, the juvenile Faceless Gu silently lay.

In that instant, a fierce look flashed in Master Ming Lei’s eyes.

”Cheng Bai, come back here for a moment!”
