Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 938: Chapter 383: The Golden Core Strikes, War Puppets

The time is ripe!

It’s not a groundless rumor.

As Luo Yun Sect’s magic item flying boats arrived, the entire Golden Sand Floating Island seemed to come to life.

One after another, the true disciples of the Luo Yun Sect with imposing auras, frequented Golden Sand Floating Island’s skies.

The elites of the other three sects also began to rigorously prepare for battle.

Subordinate forces under the Four Sects’ command, as well as numerous rogue cultivators were rubbing their hands together, ready to distinguish themselves in the upcoming war.

The free trading assemblies, usually held once a month, were now convened daily.

To prepare for the Four Sects Alliance’s counter-offensive, everyone was enriching and enhancing their combat means as much as possible.

And in such circumstances,

Luo Chen became even more reclusive.

Chu Kui was very curious about what he was up to but didn’t press for answers.

Since Luo Chen had said half a month, then it would be half a month.

After all, there were only four or five days left, that’s it.

…

Inside the stone house,

As Luo Chen once again performed the Blood Transforming Demon Finger and Cleaning Technique,

A drop of water so faint it was almost nonexistent, fell to the ground.

This wasn’t just a drop of water, but the last trace of the original source of the Flame Imprint.

Luo Chen, without any hesitation, summoned the Water Mirror Technique.

At a glance,

The handsome face in the mirror revealed a smile.

Between his eyebrows, there was no longer a lifelike Flame Imprint, only smoothness, as if it was the original state!

It was a success!

In the end, it was just a technique used by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, that’s it.

With the combined intelligence of Luo Chen and Wang Yuan, solving this wasn’t very difficult.

This moment marked the end of a lingering ailment.

Next, he could go into battle unencumbered.

With a slight twitch of his ears, Luo Chen casually dismissed the Water Mirror Technique.

Just at this moment, footsteps sounded at the door.

“President, a disciple from Luo Yun Sect has come to visit!”

Luo Chen was taken aback.

He thought it was a notification about the Luo Tian Creed preparing for a shift rotation, but to his surprise, it was someone from the Luo Yun Sect.

“Is it Tian Xingzi?”

“No.”

“Hmm?”

“The visitor claims to be Qin Yuanjiang!”

Luo Chen was startled as if he hadn’t heard correctly.

“Who?”

“He says his name is Qin Yuanjiang, he’s at the Foundation Establishment Stage and he has specifically come to visit you, President.”

Hearing this name, Luo Chen felt somewhat lost in thought.

Qin Yuanjiang?

…

Luo Chen scrutinized the young man before him.

He was about the same height, dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit that made his overall appearance very spirited.

Narrow eyes and thin lips, he was the spitting image of his mother, Murong Qinglian.

Such facial features should have seemed soft,

but he had a pronounced nose bridge that instantly changed his whole aura.

Handsome without losing ruggedness, lively and dynamic.

His eyes revealed curiosity about the world and a vibrant spirit.

Indeed, a young tiger!

No wonder Qin Liangchen had once given him the nickname Xiao Hu.

But this realm…

Luo Chen couldn’t help frowning slightly.

While he was assessing Qin Yuanjiang, Qin Yuanjiang was also sizing him up.

The first impression was—so young!

Is this the man highly mentioned in his mother’s letters, the leader of the Luo Tian Creed?

He seemed to be only a few years older than himself, capable of accomplishing so much, to the point that his parents both greatly admired and revered him?

Even when he suggested moving his parents to reside in the Thousand Leaves Immortal City, they declined, expressing their wish to follow this man!

What was his charm, and what were his capabilities?

From his cultivation level, he didn’t seem all that impressive!

On par with those ordinary senior brothers in his own sect, around the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.

Was it all because of his outstanding Pill Refinement Technique?

Could such a person really rise among rogue cultivators, become famous in Qingdan Valley, be favored by the Ice Castle, personally recruited by the Elder of Ailao Mountain, and even frequently mentioned within his own Luo Yun Sect?

While he was puzzled,

Luo Chen smiled and said, “Xiao Hu, you’ve actually reached Foundation Establishment. If this good news were to spread back home, your parents would surely be very happy. But I’m curious, what brings you to see me?”

The parents would definitely be happy, that was certain.

They had always been proud of him.

However, hearing his nickname from a man who seemed about his age felt somewhat awkward for Qin Yuanjiang.

“Ahem!”

He coughed and said, “Friend Luo, I’ve heard that my father arrived on the battlefield and even went looking for me at Luo Yun Sect, so I came to check.”

Friend Luo?

Luo Chen’s expression stiffened!

I call your dad my brother, and your mom my sister-in-law, and here you are calling me ‘Friend’?

If not “Uncle Luo,” you should at least address me as “Brother” or by my Daoist title to show respect!

But on the surface, Luo Chen, as an Elder, still maintained his composure well.

He smiled and said, “Your dad has already been sent back by me. Considering the time, he should have already arrived at Tian Lan Immortal City.”

Qin Yuanjiang nodded.

In his eyes, there was both disappointment and joy.

Disappointed at not seeing his father, happy that the other man was still alive and wouldn’t have to join the upcoming battle.

With that, his intentions had been made clear, and the matter was explained.

There seemed to be nothing more to say.

Normally, given their mutual background,

especially since Qin Yuanjiang’s parents worked under Luo Chen, it would be natural to have a longer conversation to inquire about one’s parents.

But the awkward situation was that Luo Chen met Qin Liangchen and his wife when Qin Yuanjiang had already entered the Luo Yun Sect.

The two men had no prior intersection.

To inquire would mean to do so in the manner of a junior, but in reality, their ages were not that different.

In the Foundation Establishment Realm, being teenagers or in their twenties hardly made a difference.
