Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 889: Chapter 364: Friend, Please Halt! Instant Kill!_2

…

“Boss Hu, are you sure?”

“What’s there to be unsure about? Nowadays, the process is the same for those in the war business. The Luo Tian Creed came by just last year, and that was a minor skirmish. This time, they must have brought a large amount of treasure with them. If we can seize it, you and I will split it in half. Wouldn’t that be quite the profit!”

A dozen miles away, in a small mountain valley.

Scattered throughout were over a dozen cultivators.

Leading them were surprisingly two Foundation Establishment Stage Rogue Cultivators!

...

At this moment, as Boss Hu prattled on, another young man with a pale face said helplessly, “That’s not what I’m asking.”

Boss Hu was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

“I know what you’re worried about, Kou Ji. You’re concerned about the strength of the Luo Tian Creed’s caravan, right?”

The pale-faced man nodded, a look of worry in his eyes.

Boss Hu clapped him on the shoulder, “You really don’t need to worry about that!”

“How so?” Kou Ji asked, curiosity showing on his face.

“I’ve already inquired about it. The Luo Tian Creed is just an ordinary second-rate power over at Tian Lan Immortal City, much like our Shadow Alliance in Daguang Immortal City – a group started by Rogue Cultivators.”

“They were doing quite well before but suffered a heavy blow not long ago.”

“This caravan should have been met by Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, but this time they’re completely unable to spare anyone.”

After hearing what Boss Hu had to say.

Kou Ji, half-believing and half-doubting, asked, “Couldn’t they dispatch Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from their headquarters to escort the caravan?”

“They could, but most of their Foundation Establishment is caught up in the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain battlefront. Only a few women are left back at their home base. Who else could they send?” said Boss Hu disdainfully.

Kou Ji shook his head, “Women are not to be trifled with.”

Boss Hu curled his lip, “Rest assured, I’m not so reckless. Let them charge ahead, and if we encounter any formidable Foundation Establishment opposition, we won’t engage in this venture!”

Kou Ji followed his gaze and looked towards the dozen or so Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators outside.

Each one was bubbling with excitement, fantasizing about striking it big under the leadership of two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!

Kou Ji nodded, feeling somewhat more at ease in his heart.

However, just in case, he still asked one more question.

“This Luo Tian Creed caravan, it’s providing resources to the Great Sect Ice Castle, right? By doing this, won’t we offend the Golden Core Great Sect?”

Boss Hu was left speechless with a laugh.

“Kou Ji, my younger brother, you’re too cautious and meticulous.”

“Never mind whether the Golden Core Great Sect will bother with the likes of us. Given that we’re from opposing factions, what does it matter even if they do blame us?”

“We seize the goods, earn resources, and also get a nice chunk of merits on the Sword Sect Merit List. You should know, disrupting the enemy’s supply line is also the best and safest way to accumulate merits!”

Kou Ji was startled, then suddenly realized the truth.

Looking at the self-satisfied Boss Hu, he sneered inwardly.

Calling me cautious and careful?

Your fluent responses show you’ve made thorough preparations beforehand, probably even more comprehensive than mine!

During the ambush, it would be wise for me to keep a few tricks up my sleeve.

“Alright, they’re about to pass by Heavenly Pillar Peak. The terrain there is high, and if the large Flying Boat doesn’t want to take a detour, it will have to ascend to a higher altitude, which is the perfect opportunity for us to launch a surprise attack!”

Boss Hu waved his hand mightily, issuing the command to move.

The group of Qi Refinement Stage Rogue Cultivators, excited beyond measure, rushed out.

…

“In this world today, Golden Core Ascendant Masters disregard their status to make moves, Foundation Establishment True Cultivators’ lives are as fragile as grass, and Rogue Cultivators switch identities at the drop of a hat to become Calamity Cultivators.”

“Truly, this is a loss of the original intent of our cultivation practice!”

On the deck of the flying boat, Luo Chen, who put on an old Red Cloud Robe, murmured thoughtfully.

Qin Liangchen looked at him curiously.

“President, why have you come out?”

“Nothing much, just came out for some fresh air,” Luo Chen said with a slight smile.

At that moment, he didn’t appear remarkable in the least.

His powerful spirit power fluctuation from being at the Sixth Level Foundation Establishment, nearly indistinguishable under the combined effect of the Spirit Gathering Technique Finalization and Turtle Breathing Technique.

Instead, only the perfectly ordinary Ninth Level Qi Refinement cultivation level was visible.

Watching the Flying Boat rise higher, sweeping away the fresh winds and white clouds.

Luo Chen suddenly asked, “What would you do if we encounter a small group of Qi Refinement Stage Calamity Cultivators along the way?”

Qi Refinement Stage?

Qin Liangchen laughed heartily, “Then it’s not a question of how I should respond, but rather, it’s their misfortune for not being sensible and running into me.”

He gestured towards the hundreds of cultivators on the flying boat and the patrolling Flying Hawk Knights accompanying the flight.

“These are Battle Hall Cultivators who command Flying Hawks in battle, each of them strong in their own right.”

“The cultivators I brought from the External Sect have all been chosen from the best at the Late Stage Qi Refinement.”

“Common small-scale bands of Calamity Cultivators are nothing but an egg against a rock when faced with us!”

“Moreover, though I, Ol Qin, failed Foundation Establishment, I’m still genuinely at Qi Refinement Stage Finalization, and I truly fear no weak opponents!”

His words carried a confidence that was unmistakable!

Luo Chen’s eyes brightened slightly, inwardly nodding.

Though Qin Liangchen failed Foundation Establishment, his nature had become as broad-minded as ever with his Dao Companion Cultivator Murong Qinglian’s successful Foundation Establishment.

Having controlled the External Sect for a while, he gained more and more confidence.

If one did not take into account his flawed physique, such a state of mind was indeed very suitable for Foundation Establishment.

Just as Qin Liangchen was about to add something else, his expression changed slightly.

The next moment, seeing a swarm of a dozen or so Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators charging towards them from afar, he looked at Luo Chen in astonishment.

“Did you know ahead of time?”

Luo Chen nodded with a smile.
