Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2465: Chapter 905: White Robes Tread the Heavens, Red Robes Approach the Abyss

As Immortal Cultivators, everyone is willing to believe that it was due to the latter.

They also believe that when all the clouds and mist dissipate, the new Pill Saint Hall Master will be revealed!

This is indeed the case!

Under the gaze of the Lingtian City Lord, the tightly-closed main door of the Pill Saint Hall was slowly opened by someone.

A tall figure walked out calmly.

”Thank you all for waiting.” The white-clothed Daoist said with a smile.

”It’s Luo Chen!”

”It’s actually him who passed the Pill Saint Hall trial!”

”Where is Mr. Xuan Yan?”

”What exactly is the Pill Saint Inheritance?”

At some point, the square outside the Pill Saint Hall had already gathered countless cultivators.

Those who are present are at least Golden Core Cultivators.

Among them, there are no less than a dozen Nascent Soul experts, all of whom hold high positions within the Dark Abyss Sect.

Amidst the numerous discussions, a grand voice sounded from above the Nine Heavens.

”Here stands Luo Chen, born of humble origins, with exceptional talent, passing the trial by the ability of the Alchemy Sect.”

”From today onward, he shall assume the position of the Pill Saint Hall Master, awarded a Blessing Tripod!”

”Additionally, rewarded with the Ping Mountain Crown, Snow Frost Robe, Nine Luminous Jade Belt, and Cloud Stepping Shoes.”

”Luo Chen is to immediately proceed to Yanfu Mountain for an audience with the three Ancestors!”

The grand voice still echoed.

A silhouette had already appeared above the Pill Saint Hall.

Luo Chen glanced at the Lingtian City Lord.

Ye Lingtian hurriedly sent a sound transmission: ”This is Junior Brother Tan Cheng, one of the direct disciples of Yu Ming Ancestor.”

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow. Having arrived at the Dark Abyss Sect not long ago, he was not at all familiar with the people and affairs here.

Let alone the internal faction distinctions.

Like the three who went to Mount Sky Cliff to invite him initially, he judged them to represent the three Ancestors, but later found out it wasn’t exactly right.

Lei Daozi, for instance, wasn’t strictly a disciple of Yu Ming Ancestor.

He inherited the legacy of the fallen powerful Bai Ye of the Dark Abyss Sect, and strictly speaking, formed his own faction but was close to Yu Ming Ancestor’s lineage.

Composing himself, Luo Chen cupped his hands in greeting: ”Thank you Ancestor for the rewards!”

With a wave of his hand, Tan Cheng’s disciples came forward, carrying trays.

On each tray, there was an item.

With treasures sparkling, one glance revealed them to be extraordinary.

Among them, the crown on the tripod gave Luo Chen a somewhat familiar feeling.

”Put on this attire first before going to meet the Ancestors!” Tan Cheng cast a glance at Luo Chen with a slight frown, ”Don’t lose the decorum.”

Luo Chen laughed brightly, not caring about the other’s tone.

After all, it was a courtesy visit with gifts!

At this moment, due to the five-year trial, his demeanor was indeed a bit unkempt.

”Please wait a moment!”

Standing beside, Ye Lingtian transmitted a message to a hastily arriving young woman.

Then he said to Luo Chen: ”Let Ye Family’s little daughter help the Pill Saint Hall Master tidy up his appearance!”

Luo Chen nodded, then beckoned to the young boy next to the young woman.

”Come in with me!”

The boy looked out of place among the immortals.

Just because there was no Spirit Qi fluctuation from him, it was evident at a glance that he was an ordinary mortal.

But at this moment, besides Ye Ruoli who was about to help Luo Chen tidy up, he was the only one who could enter the Pill Saint Hall.

After the three figures disappeared, the cultivators outside the hall were still debating.

”Is the boy Luo Chen’s son?”

”No more Luo Chen; from now on, it’s Pill Saint Hall Master!”

”That indeed is the Pill Saint Hall Master’s son, but it’s unknown why despite Master Luo’s nearly transcendent powers in the Dao of Alchemy, he has a child who cannot cultivate.”

”It shouldn’t be like this!”

”Did you see that Small Tripod? It’s the Blessing Tripod that the Pill Saint used for a long time before forming a Nascent Soul!”

”The Blessing Tripod, what the Ancestor has bestowed upon Lord Luo, it seems their intent hasn’t changed.”

”I heard to prevent a repeat of the Pill Saint Hall closure, henceforth the Pill Saint Hall will have one principal and two vice hall masters. Now the principal hall master is ascertained, whom do you think the two vice hall masters will be?”

”Is there any doubt? Surely it’ll be chosen from among Chu Yu, Lu Chun, and the other four Alchemy Concoction Grandmasters!”

”Hehe, there’s quite a story there. Among the four, does Chu Yu even qualify to be a vice hall master? Plus, two of them are outsiders...”

”Who said one must have mastery of the Pill Refinement Technique to be a vice hall master?”

The discussion subsided with a sudden question.

Meanwhile, inside the Pill Saint Hall.

Luo Chen stood in front of a large mirror, allowing Ye Ruoli to help him put on the Snow Frost Robe and tighten the Nine Luminous Jade Belt.

Wearing the Cloud Stepping Shoes with a hint of a woman’s fragrance, Luo Chen’s attention was on the young boy beside him.

”You’ve grown taller.”

Five years passed in the blink of an eye for an Immortal Cultivator.

But for Luo Lingxi, who cannot cultivate, it seemed unbearably long.

He looked at Luo Chen, who hadn’t changed at all in appearance from five years ago, with a voice slightly choked.

”Father.”

Luo Chen could see the affection and admiration in the young boy’s eyes.

With a wave, the young boy obediently walked over.

Luo Chen ruffled his head, ”Have you been diligently practicing the Guiding Technique I taught you these past years?”

Luo Lingxi nodded vigorously, ”I’ve never slacked off!”

Luo Chen smiled, naturally able to see the state of the other.

Although he still looked somewhat thin, he indeed looked much better than before.

The young boy hesitated to speak, but Luo Chen had already sat down on the chair.

Ye Ruoli hesitantly asked, ”Master, what kind of hairstyle would you like?”

Luo Chen casually let the Spirit Qi materialize in the air, revealing his previous appearance.

”Just follow this hairstyle, and pair it with that head crown, with slight adjustments.”

Ye Ruoli nodded, picking up the comb to style Luo Chen’s hair.

Luo Lingxi observed intently, recognizing the hairstyle as the one his mother, Sima Huiniang, often styled for his father.

During the silent sitting, Luo Chen was not idle, reaching for the head crown.

”Ping Mountain Crown?”

”Indeed!”

After a brief observation, Luo Chen knew why he felt familiar.

This head crown was clearly the one worn by the Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian, simply missing the Jade Bead Curtain.

Though lacking imperialness, it still retained majesty and the demeanor of a gentleman.

”The three ancestors are quite generous!”

Luo Chen murmured to himself, with his knowledge in the Path of Artifact Refining, recognizing the crown’s excellence.

It was clearly a powerful True Device!

Infusing it with Qi Power, promptly a protective barrier emerged, enveloping the entire person.

It could readily defend against physical attacks and Qi power strikes.

Just missing the Jade Bead Curtain!

Luo Chen judged that if the Jade Bead Curtain were present, it should be used to ward off Divine Soul attacks.

”But it’s enough, I have the Prison Soul Suppression Technique, not lacking in Divine Soul defense methodologies.”

Once the hair was styled, Luo Chen carefully placed the Ping Mountain Crown on his head, inserting a Jade Hairpin horizontally.

He stood and walked outside.

”Wait here for father’s return!”

”Regarding your cultivation, I’ve formulated an idea, do not fret.”

The previously gloomy Luo Lingxi’s eyes brightened instantly.

...

When Luo Chen appeared at the gate of the Alchemy Saint Hall, the bustling square abruptly quieted.

One by one, gazes swept across towards him.

His steps were light with Qingchen Step Cloud Shoes, his waist adorned with the Nine Luminous Jade Belt, and the Snow Frost Robe fit him perfectly while exuding an ethereal demeanor.

Especially the head crown, accentuating Luo Chen’s youthful visage, making him appear exceptionally handsome and extraordinary.

Like a Banished Immortal!

Ye Lingtian praised, ”Thus is the new Alchemy Saint Hall Master of our Dark Abyss Sect!”

At that moment, he stirred a chorus of responses.

”Greetings to the Alchemy Saint Hall Master!”

Among the hundreds present, apart from Ye Lingtian, Luo Chen found most unfamiliar.

Even Lu Chun, Chen Mozi, and others, were merely acquaintances from prior competition.

Yet, amidst the phenomenon, Luo Chen seemed delighted.

”Upon my return, let’s feast and drink, enjoy together!”

With those words, he ascended upon clouds, soaring into the Nine Heavens.

That Yanfu Mountain was up there!

...

In Upper Nether City, bustling with people and vehicles.

Through the crowded masses, a flash of red slipped by, out of the throngs, alone outside the city.

An abyss, dark and unfathomable, stood quietly like a slumbering giant beast.

The one in red walked close to the abyss, seemingly encountering a challenge.

Suddenly!

Delicate jade fingers pointed lightly into the abyss, and the giant beast opened its mouth, the abyss split open.

A pathway to the Eastern Desolate Divine Transformation Sacred Land Dark Abyss Sect unfolded!
