Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 643: Chapter 267: Turtle Spirit Armor, Lies_3

Busy laying the foundation, busy expanding, busy growing the Luo Yun Sect.

In the process, each person makes their own gains.

Sima Huiniang was the busiest, but her cultivation didn’t stagnate. It was estimated that it would take her only one or two years to reach Qi Refinement Finalization.

She held in her hand a Foundation Establishment Pill given by Luo Chen.

With her qualifications, temperament, daily preparations, and constant guidance from Luo Chen, coupled with the simulated results in the Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror,

Her chances of establishing her foundation are perhaps the greatest.

Luo Chen was not particularly worried about her.

What worries him now were the other two.

...

After Min Longyu’s Foundation Establishment ceremony ended, everyone scattered.

Duan Feng sought out Min Longyu to have a spirited conversation about the magic item.

But Luo Chen, he pulled aside two others.

”Chairman.”

”Please don’t, sister-in-law! We are alone here, there’s no need for formalities.”

Luo Chen descended the stairs and stood before the two.

”Can you tell me what is going on with you two?”

Under his Spirit Vision examination,

The two in front of him were both at the Qi Refinement Stage Finalization.

The progress didn’t differ much from Luo Chen’s judgment a few years ago.

The only deviation was that Qin Liangchen had reached Qi Refinement Finalization as fast as Murong Qinglian.

The discrepancy was due to the precious First Order Spirit Pill they had bought at a high price at the auction half a year ago.

This allowed Qin Liangchen to bridge the gap and finally reach Qi Refinement Finalization.

Normally, at this stage, they should attempt to establish their foundation.

As for the Foundation Establishment Pill required for the breakthrough?

They also had one of them.

If they feared that one pill was not enough for both, one of them could establish their foundation first!

But now, they were both stuck here.

Murong Qinglian looked at the silent Qin Liangchen by her side, then moved her gaze back to Luo Chen, revealing a bitter smile.

”Xiao Luo, please convince your Big Brother Qin!”

”If he does not break through, he will truly miss the best opportunity to establish his foundation.”

Qin Liangchen’s lips moved as he shook his head.

”No need to convince me. It would be best if the Foundation Establishment Pill is used by you.”

Murong Qinglian pleaded almost in desperation: ”But you are already 61 years old, if you don’t establish your foundation now, it will only get harder.”

”You’re not much younger than me; it’s you who needs to hurry.”

”What about you!”

”Me? This arm has been broken twice. Even after healing, it’s not as good as before. What else can I do even if I establish my foundation? Can I aspire to the Golden Core Stage?”

”If you don’t establish your foundation, and I go to establish my foundation. If I succeed, my lifespan will increase dramatically. Do you want me to wait a hundred years after you pass away, leaving me alone and helpless?”

”Where are you alone and helpless? Don’t we still have Xiao Hu! We have already established contact, he is now valued by the Luo Yun Sect and has hopes of establishing his foundation in the future.”

”You know that’s not what I mean.”

The couple’s quarrel suddenly erupted.

This scene caught Luo Chen somewhat off guard.

Over the years, he had never seen Qin Liangchen and his wife fight.

Looking at the familiarity of their argument, one could expect that this wasn’t the first time they had argued during this period.

What does marriage bring to men and women after all?

He shuddered and quickly raised his hand.

”Stop, I said stop!”

Looking at the quiet couple, Luo Chen said helplessly, ”Establishing a foundation is not that simple, it’s not a guaranteed success. Instead of you two pushing each other like this, why don’t you let one person try first? Regardless of whether it is successful or not, you can make arrangements after.”

Qin Liangchen nodded, ”Indeed, so I plan to let my wife try first.”

Hearing this, Murong Qinglian was both frustrated and amused, even wanting to cry.

”You are obviously the one who needs to establish your foundation the most!”

”But Luo Chen also said that establishing a foundation is not easy, with the state that I am in, their chances of failing are undoubtedly greater. Why waste that Foundation Establishment Pill on me, it would be better for you...”

Seeing that they were on the brink of another quarrel,

Luo Chen was somewhat speechless.

Is this what they mean when they say it’s difficult for an honest official to settle a dispute?

Even as a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, he couldn’t convince the two Dao Companion Cultivators at the Qi Refinement stage.

This can’t continue!

No matter if it was for Murong Qinglian or for Qin Liangchen,

The longer they delayed, the greater the loss.

Luo Chen himself had established his foundation at the age of 32, and now felt that time was insufficient.

This couple was in their fifties and sixties, they could not afford to delay.

After a moment of thought, Luo Chen made a decision.

”Sister-in-law, you go out first, let me have a private talk with Brother Qin!”

The root of the problem clearly laid with Qin Liangchen.

Murong Qinglian gazed eagerly at him, then after Qin Liangchen urged her, she left for the main hall outside.

...

Once she left, Qin Liangchen let out a sigh.

With that sigh, he seemed to age several decades. He had none of the vigor that a cultivator at Qi Refinement Stage Finalization should have.

Was his usual strength and indifference all a man’s faux front?

Luo Chen couldn’t help but ask, ”Big Brother Qin, you...”

”Xiao Luo, I’m not going to call you chairman or Luo Chen, let’s go back to using the names from when we were equals back in the Dahefang period.”

Qin Liangchen interrupted him, his words seeming to take them back to the past.

Luo Chen closed his mouth, allowing him to continue.

”Xiao Luo, tell me honestly, with my current state, can I establish a foundation?”

Facing those eyes that were no longer sharp as they used to be, Luo Chen tried to say something like ”maybe” or ”perhaps” or ”you never know”, but in the end, he fell silent.
