Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Fine, as long as I cultivate well, always staying ahead of them, they can’t do anything to me.”

”It’s fine not to show up, but if I do, I won’t be lenient.”

...

The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping.

A massive curtain of rain filled the skies and the earth, as if to wash away the bloodshed of the century-old righteous and demonic war.

Luo Chen, dressed in white, walked alongside True Master Langya on a bluestone path, step by step heading towards a side hall in Molan Court.

The afternoon’s real gathering would take place there, and True Master Langya had already introduced Luo Chen, granting him the qualification to attend.

At this moment, True Master Langya was introducing the background of the likely powerful attendees to Luo Chen.

”The number of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators participating from the Canghai Alliance in the Zhi Ge Conference isn’t small, a total of seven or eight. However, because the leader is Mu Lan Gaoxiong of the Middle Stage Nascent Soul, their realms aren’t too high, at most comparable to Mu Lan Gaoxiong.”

”Despite their realms not being high, they are all rulers of their domains, renowned figures in the North Sea Cultivation World.”

”Like Shang Sihai, known as Four Seas True Master, under his banner controls the Four Seas Commerce Guild, a truly formidable force. Within the guild, there are two early-stage Nascent Soul sacrificial officials. One can say, the Four Seas Commerce Guild is itself a mighty force within the Canghai Alliance. Shang Sihai is the one tying the strings for this gathering from the Canghai Alliance’s side.”

”You should have heard the name Nan Qi Old Ghost.”

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, his head slowly nodding: ”Is he the old monster who was once refined into the Soul-Refining Flag by a Yuan Mo Sect Cultivator, then counter-invaded the master, stealing his cultivation level?”

”Indeed! You are truly knowledgeable, unlike ordinary rogue cultivators.”

True Master Langya laughed, then his expression became stern, ”This person has a substantial likelihood of being from the South Border, proficient in the art of Gu Insects. After all, how could an ordinary cultivator, refined into a soul banner, possibly turn defeat into victory, not just unscathed, but with greatly advanced cultivation?”

Nan Qi Old Ghost, a Southern Border practitioner?

Luo Chen nodded slightly, memorized the description of this person’s appearance, and planned to avoid further contact in the future.

”Lady Mi comes from...”

”Mu Lan Gaoxiong probably won’t attend this gathering, his side...”

”The elder of the Tianyuan Business Alliance hasn’t shown himself recently, but it’s said he is keen on making connections with fellow cultivators, so he might show up this time.”

As he spoke, True Master Langya’s tone shifted, introducing the individuals likely to come from the Mo Luo Sect.

”The Minghuo Sect Master will certainly be present! He’s the master who was severely injured during Mu Lan Gaoxiong’s furious attack upon his men. He called for this real gathering, presumably to seek resources at the gathering to resolve his injuries.”

”His combat strength was originally formidable, at his peak on par with Mu Lan Gaoxiong. After that battle, not only did he suffer severe injuries, but his prestige within the Mo Luo Sect plummeted, and his personal influence shrank significantly.”

”There’s another woman named Du Feiyan whom rogue cultivators should be wary of. She is the only female among the Twelve Sect Masters of the Mo Luo Sect. Being able to stand among the group of demons, her capabilities should not be underestimated.”

”I don’t need to elaborate on the Lie Tian Sect Master, the most prominent figure in the hundred-year righteous and demonic war. Though his realm is only at the Nascent Soul Third Layer, his wind attribute cultivation technique is extremely sharp, moving without a trace, leaving without a shadow, and his spell battle abilities are no less than those at the Middle Stage Nascent Soul. To tackle him, the Canghai Alliance dispatched three Nascent Soul True Masters at once, yet they still couldn’t subdue him.

”Most importantly, he’s one of the few within the Mo Luo Sect who closely associates with Blood Nightmare Mo Luo. Now that Blood Nightmare Mo Luo has become a homeless dog, his life within the Mo Luo Sect isn’t going well. Logically, he should be lying low, yet it’s unclear why he would attend this gathering.”

Names renowned in the North Sea Cultivation World echoed in Luo Chen’s ears, instilling a deep sense of vigilance.

These individuals were once as distant as stars in the sky.

Now they were to appear right in front of him, causing a fleeting moment of excitement in his heart.

But soon, Luo Chen calmed down his emotions.

His participation in this gathering implied he was equally a part of it.

Henceforth, he would no longer observe these people with eyes of reverence.

Especially, Nascent Soul True Master?

He had faced them in battle, even killed them!

No need to be overly cautious!

In their whispered discussions and leisurely strolling, the bluestone path had already been traversed.

A spacious Red Jade Plaza instantly came into view.

Under the dim rain curtain, this Red Jade Plaza appeared quite oppressive.

At this moment, glints were approaching from all directions, passing over the Red Jade Plaza, flying into the palace.

Guiyuan Palace!

It’s said that previously, this palace was used by Blood Nightmare Mo Luo to harbor the remnants of Yuan Mo who sought refuge with him.

No one expected Blood Nightmare Mo Luo would refine these junior disciples into Blood God Children.

As though the plaza’s red hue was entirely dyed by the blood of those yuan demon sect disciples.

”Let’s go inside too, people should be arriving soon.”

True Master Langya said, preparing to move forward.

However, he noticed Luo Chen standing still, calmly observing the sky.

True Master Langya followed his gaze, looked in that direction.

Two figures stood in the rain above, watching this side.

”That’s... Lie Tian Sect Master!”

Immediately, True Master Langya’s expression changed slightly, ”How did he come to walk alongside Nan Qi Old Ghost?”

Just then.

Lie Tian Sect Master stepped forward, overlooking Mei Luo and the others from above, his gaze especially fixated on Luo Chen.

His eyes were disdainful, his mouth bore a slight sneer.

”Nowadays, every stray cat and dog emerges, even an unknown person dares to dream of sitting among us.”
