Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3073 - 1153:

Late summer and early autumn, north of the Abandoned Immortal.

A caravan carrying a multitude of goods slowly heads towards the north.

In a luxurious carriage, Xiao Feng nervously reports the general situation to Luo Chen.

”On this journey, we will pass through seven major cities including Xilong, Sanxiang, and Zisha, with the final destination being Mo Feng City. The pace might be somewhat slow, but after unloading goods in each city, it will get quicker. Moreover, we don’t need to personally visit three of these cities, which will save us some time. Based on past experience, the journey will take a maximum of three months to reach Mo Feng City. I hope you can bear with us a little, my Lord.”

Luo Chen responds with a hum, appearing indifferent.

To him, whether it takes three months or a year and a half is actually inconsequential.

As long as the destination offers the Divine Wind he seeks, this trip will prove worthwhile.

However, there’s one thing that piques Luo Chen’s curiosity.

”I’ve heard that the affairs of merchants were formerly handled by officials under the Abandoned Immortal City’s banner. Why do you have to personally manage it this time, and even bring along Tie Xiong?”

As he finishes speaking, Luo Chen’s gaze seems to penetrate the walls of the carriage, catching sight of the one-armed man sitting in front.

Xiao Feng hesitates for a moment, but ultimately speaks truthfully.

”There are some changes concerning the Seven Cities, hence I must undertake this journey personally.”

”Changes?”

”Yes, actually some powerful figures who went to Wuyou City twenty years ago have returned. They were once the rulers, and upon their return, the power structure of their respective cities will inevitably change. Correspondingly, this change will affect our cooperation with the Abandoned Immortal City. As the master of the Abandoned Immortal City and a junior, I should personally negotiate.”

Luo Chen raises an eyebrow, surprised by this new development.

But then, he looks at Xiao Feng with a faint smile.

”Your predecessor, the former City Lord of the Abandoned Immortal City, your father Xiao Lin, hasn’t returned?”

”I would hope so, alas...” Xiao Feng smiles bitterly and sighs as he explains: ”Such returns have occurred in the past, but those people usually return because they lack talent and fail to break through in Wuyou City. Gripped by old ailments, they often don’t live long once they return. As for my father, such a Martial Fool, neither his talent nor his will would lead him to such a fate. Hence, unless I break through to the Leakless Realm and personally visit the Abandoned Immortal City, I fear I won’t see him in my lifetime.”

Luo Chen listens and looks thoughtful.

Wuyou City!

The foremost of the Seventy-two Cities in the Great Destruction Realm, its City Lord being the so-called Master of Wuyou Realm.

It’s said that in Wuyou City, there’s a great opportunity for martial artists of the Leakless Realm to break through to the Fifth Order of Human Immortal Realm.

That’s why every century, a great number of powerful figures are attracted to Wuyou City either by choice or circumstances.

The matter of returnees, however, is something Luo Chen hears about for the first time.

Considering what Xiao Feng mentioned, these people lack sufficient talent, unable to break through in Wuyou City, and they return often with old ailments, leading to their quiet deaths soon after. If that’s the case, it’s natural there wouldn’t be corresponding records left?

After all, it’s ultimately a shameful matter.

Watching Luo Chen in thought, Xiao Feng cautiously probes: ”My Lord, with your abilities, you could conquer even Wuyou City. The only thing missing is the Leakless Realm. May I know your current cultivation level?”

Luo Chen glances at him, ”Want me gone?”

Xiao Feng hastily waves, ”You misunderstand, my Lord. I’m merely concerned about your cultivation. If you need anything in life, please don’t hesitate to ask! I’ll take my leave, if you need anything, just call upon me.”

Luo Chen snorts; he’s never been polite.

He reckons that after facing his excessive demands year after year, the other party feels pressured, hence the probing.

Yet those resources provided immense aid for Luo Chen’s cultivation.

After Xiao Feng departs, Luo Chen examines his current realm through the panel.

[Furnace Realm 52/100]

If divided into smaller realms, he’d be around the Middle Stage.

This progress during just ten years is remarkably fast, surpassing common folk by far!

Of course, as time goes on, cultivation speed slows, especially when it comes to refining Acupoints, and Luo Chen’s progress remains sluggish.

That’s why upon learning about the Divine Wind, he took initiative with this trip.

Only higher quality Gang Qi can more efficiently refine Acupoints!

The long journey proves quite dull and unsuitable for daily cultivation, so Luo Chen simply takes out a book he carries with him and reads diligently.

It’s the Forbidden Technique once displayed by Xiao San Niang in the Martial Arts Arena.

Luo Chen retains great interest in this technique.

Back then, Xiao San Niang used this Forbidden Technique to display power far beyond her own level, thereby defeating Flower Nun.

Although Xiao San Niang paid a steep price afterwards, her performance was genuinely impressive.

Currently, many of Luo Chen’s magic powers remain unusable; even with unprecedented physique, his mind feels unsettled.

Especially in this realm, there’s a high possibility of encountering strong figures of the Fifth Order or beyond, so naturally, he wants to master more lethal techniques for self-preservation.

This ”Heaven and Earth Reversal” technique shows promising strength, and it’s merely an incomplete method.

If Luo Chen can perfect it, he might even restore its peak power, or even surpass it.

On this point, Luo Chen feels highly confident!

He was once a Grandmaster-Level existence in techniques.
