Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2092: Chapter 768: Daoist Body Awakens, Law Transforms

While everyone was still envious of the future prospects of the Fu family’s grandfather and grandson, True Master Qideng was genuinely envious of Luo Chen.

In fact, he didn’t even bother with the usual superficial courtesy and directly voiced his request!

”I wonder if Friend Luo can part with the Tianji Pill?”

On the mountain path, Luo Chen stopped walking.

So it was for this!

No wonder he had been puzzled as to why True Master Qideng would stand up for him against the pressure from so many clans. It turned out he had his eyes on that Tianji Pill.

And the timing was just right, neither early nor late.

It was as if he had been waiting for Luo Chen to appear, showing that Qideng had been planning for a long time.

True Master Qideng took two more steps, and upon noticing Luo Chen had stopped, he too halted.

Turning around, he candidly said, ”You might not know, the Tianji Pill is crucial for us late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to advance to the Divine Transformation stage. For your current realm, it isn’t of much use, at most it would increase your Qi power and raise one or two minor realms.”

”Treasures like this are coveted by post-Nascent cultivators, including powerful figures from major clans. They were previously preoccupied with the Cave Heaven Competition, and there were too many people around, making it hard to speak out. Once they regain focus, someone is bound to come to you.”

”At that time, you’ll face pressure from various clans, and it’s possible that even those great powers from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect will take interest.”

”You won’t be able to keep it!”

Luo Chen’s lips curved slightly upward, and he retorted, ”What about you, Elder? Can you keep it safe?”

Confidently, Elder Qideng nodded.

”Naturally, I can keep it safe! With my late-stage Nascent Soul realm, my status as one of the five elders of Star Gate, and the fact that the pill was crafted by the former Star Gate Elder, the Alchemy Saint!”

Luo Chen nodded in understanding.

With his early Nascent Soul stage and the identity of a newly appointed External Affairs Guest Elder, it was indeed difficult to safeguard the Tianji Pill.

But regardless of strength or status, or even the connection to the Alchemy Saint, no one in Zhongzhou would dare to forcibly take it from him.

Seeing Luo Chen nod, Elder Qideng’s heart was filled with joy.

”You agree?”

Luo Chen suddenly asked, ”Since this pill is so invaluable, even crucial for us Nascent Soul cultivators to ascend to Divine Transformation, what do you offer in exchange?”

Elder Qideng hesitated for a moment, initially intending to offer the favor he had previously shown by speaking on his behalf as compensation, but it was evident that this rogue cultivator was not foolish.

Even without him speaking up earlier, so long as the Head of the Tianyuan Sect appeared, no one would dare violate the rules.

Thus, that favor was expendable.

Yet clearly, he had come well-prepared!

”I have cultivated for over nine hundred years, traveled across the Three Continents, and collected countless precious items.”

”You have recently entered the Nascent Soul stage and hail from a rogue cultivator background, so you likely lack handy magic items. I have more than a dozen magic items for you to choose from, including a Killing True Device.”

”Additionally, I have three Fourth Order cultivation techniques and one incomplete Fifth Order cultivation technique, enough to meet your cultivation needs during the Nascent Soul stage.”

”Are you in need of elixirs...?”

Truly worthy of a long-term Nascent Soul cultivator, Elder Qideng indeed has considerable wealth, offering a dazzling array of conditions right at the start.

In the end.

”You presently hold the position of an External Affairs Guest Elder, making cultivation at Heaven and Earth Peak rather inconvenient. If you agree, I will persuade the other elders to make you a true Guest Elder of Star Gate, and even promote you to Sacrificial Official status in two hundred years!”

Faced with such tempting conditions, Luo Chen remained somewhat silent.

Due to this silence, Elder Qideng became increasingly pleased, as it indicated that the other party was tempted.

However, the result...

”Sorry, I’ve already taken the elixir.”

Elder Qideng was stunned momentarily, then showed disbelief.

”During your fifty years in the Cave Heaven, you had to protect...”

A surge of formidable aura slowly emerged, cutting the elder’s words short.

Nascent Soul Third Layer!

He didn’t perceive wrongly; the other party had reached the third level of Nascent Soul.

Although the Qi power fluctuation seemed somewhat irritable, precisely due to this restlessness, the sharply elevated realm appeared more credible.

Everyone knew, before entering the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, Luo Chen’s realm was at the first layer of Nascent Soul.

But now, in just one year outside and fifty years in Cave Heaven, his realm soared by two minor levels, which certainly couldn’t be achieved through mere diligent cultivation but only by consuming a wondrous spirit pill like the Tianji Pill for such rapid advancement.

No wonder he was able to slaughter all around in Cave Heaven, with no one being his match.

The third level of Nascent Soul indeed possessed the power to dominate among peers who had just broken through for less than a century!

But in this case, wouldn’t his previous behavior seem laughable in the eyes of the other party?

Just when True Master Qideng felt dissatisfied, his expression suddenly changed, subconsciously stepping back several paces away from Luo Chen.

”Something’s wrong?”

”There’s more!”

Beside Luo Chen, a strange force was gradually spreading.

He touched it slightly, only to feel his body, already feeble from old age with declining Qi-blood, possessed a feeling of withering.

As if an old tree shivering with fear with the arrival of autumn and winter.

True Master Qideng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, ”Have you comprehended?”

Luo Chen smiled subtly, formed a Dao Law Method, and the outward Qi power fluctuation along with the True Intent of Withering and Flourishing was forcibly suppressed within his body.

”Sorry, though quite tempted by the conditions you offered, there’s nothing I can do.”

Elder Qideng opened his mouth, then sighed heavily.

Despite closely paying attention to the Cave Heaven Competition and coming to trade with Luo Chen before others, he was still a step behind.

Indeed, it’s not meant to be, and cannot be forced!

Shaking his head, the dissatisfaction in his heart vanished completely.

Whether it was due to not obtaining the Tianji Pill that caused his change in attitude, or because Luo Chen showed the potential of comprehending the true intent of law ahead of time, it was unknown.
