Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

On Jade Spring Peak.

Two figures walked together.

The man was handsome and elegant, the woman graceful and attractive.

The jade belt hung high, with the secluded stream beside them, and the sound of the waterfall didn’t affect their laughter at all.

Liu Muchan pointed to the array near the distant medicine garden and explained, ”The arrays around are all complete. If you find the waterfall noise disturbing, you can activate the array to block it. Although this medicine garden has some herbs planted, most are common. If you want to plant some herbs, you can remove them at any time and plant new ones.”

Luo Chen nodded, his gaze withdrawing from the medicine garden to the misty light emanating from the cave entrance under the sunlight.

This would be his cave mansion on Jade Spring Peak in the future.

Senior Brother Wan Jiu Zhang had prepared it for him before going into closed-door cultivation.

Now it was being handed over and roughly introduced by Liu Muchan, who had a good relationship with him.

”The spiritual energy here is dense, and the scenery is beautiful. Such a fine cave mansion is rare even in the Sect. Why has it not been used before?” Luo Chen asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Liu Muchan showed a sorrowful expression.

”Actually, it wasn’t uninhabited. The previous resident disappeared during a Sect mission outside decades ago. Due to the special identity of the person, this cave mansion has remained vacant.”

Luo Chen became a bit interested, ”Oh?”

Liu Muchan sighed and recounted the past slowly.

The previous resident of this cave mansion was a female immortal cultivator, highly regarded on Jade Spring Peak, and was the Senior Sister.

Although her realm was slightly lower than Wan Jiu Zhang’s, her conduct was very assertive and her combat prowess was very strong!

Often, she worked alone when accepting missions.

Back then, the second generation disciples of Jade Spring Peak always had Wan Jiu Zhang managing internal affairs, while the Senior Sister managed external ones.

But sixty years ago, which was ten years before Luo Chen joined, she accepted a mission issued by the Law Enforcement Institute to the Foreign Affairs Hall, and after leaving the Sect, she vanished without a trace.

For this, Yaoxi True Master personally set out and used various secret techniques, yet did not find any trace of her.

And as the Spiritual Assembly was approaching, the matter was left unsettled.

It can be said that Senior Brother Wan Jiu Zhang’s urgency to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage during this closed-door cultivation is somewhat related to the disappearance of the Senior Sister.

Jade Spring Peak lost a strong Senior Sister for external affairs, and with Wan Jiu Zhang’s mild-mannered personality, it was hard to establish the prestige of Jade Spring Peak within the Sect.

Yaoxi True Master did not involve himself in these matters, so Wan Jiu Zhang had to focus on his cultivation realm.

If he could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, the status of Jade Spring Peak would certainly rise to a higher level.

Fortunately, Luo Chen’s sudden emergence put Senior Brother in good spirits; he wore a smile even before going into seclusion, and had prepared the cave mansion and cultivation resources for Luo Chen in advance.

”In Senior Brother’s words, even if his breakthrough fails, it doesn’t matter. The disciples of Jade Spring Peak of this generation shall be led by Xuan Luozi, who will undoubtedly bring glory to Su Ling!”

Liu Muchan said so, with a hint of hope in her eyes.

Everyone could understand what it meant to form the Golden Core at Shell age.

As long as there are no accidents, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage is certain!

Luo Chen was helpless, ”Senior Brother, even if I haven’t seen you, you’ve given me a lot of pressure.”

Liu Muchan joked with a smile, ”Xuan Luo, could it be that you are afraid?”

”Afraid?” Luo Chen laughed heartily, his cheerful laughter startling the flying birds away from the forest and making fish leap from the streams.

Without saying any more encouraging words, the powerful confidence contained in the laughter was felt even by Liu Muchan.

It seemed that the Nascent Soul Realm was of no concern to him, as if it were within easy reach.

”Senior Sister Liu...”

”Though I joined earlier than you and am older, your Golden Core Second Layer realm is now above mine. Calling me Senior Sister and you Junior Brother seems too distant, just call me Muchan.”

Luo Chen wasn’t overly reserved and said straightforwardly, ”Muchan, you’re more familiar with the Sect than I am. Please help me with something!”

Liu Muchan didn’t even ask what it was and directly nodded, ”Sure!”

Luo Chen was a bit surprised by the woman’s straightforwardness, but he didn’t assign any troublesome tasks.

”It’s not difficult; it’s merely sending out some invitations. I’ve met too few fellow disciples here in Su Ling Sect, only some from Jade Spring Peak and the Alchemy Institute. Taking advantage of my emergence from the Golden Core formation, I might as well hold a small gathering to invite some fellows over for tea and to discuss Dao.”

Liu Muchan blinked, having forgotten about this.

For a cultivator, forming the Golden Core is a major event, but for a strong sect like Su Ling Sect, it is just a small matter.

It’s impossible to hold a grand Golden Core Ceremony like those small clans or small sects.

It usually involves the cultivator gathering some brothers and familiar friends within their own sect for a small celebration.

She was no different.

But this convention didn’t apply to Xuan Luo.

Forming a Golden Core at Shell age, and being a talent in the Dao of Alchemy, either title was enough to invite guests of significance.

This is probably why Senior Brother arranged all the trivial matters for Luo Chen before going into seclusion!

Not only this cave mansion,

but also the Golden Core Robe, Magic Boat for travel, and other items that could signify status were all prepared.

After realizing it, Liu Muchan smiled and said, ”With your reputation, the number of those who would attend is likely not small, and the amount of food and drink involved will be substantial. If you trust me, leave everything to me!”

Luo Chen thought for a moment and entrusted the entire Golden Core gathering to Liu Muchan.

He also offered to bear the corresponding Spirit Stones cost, but Liu Muchan refused it.
