Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Three months later.

On a hill near the Gray Triangle, a Flying Steed Treasure Carriage drawn by a Junqi Spirit Beast broke through the air and arrived.

Inside the treasure carriage, a Sound Transmission Talisman was emitted, then suspended quietly in the air.

After a while, there was some movement in the hill.

A figure flew up.

At the same time, a figure emerged from the treasure carriage.

In blue clothes with a white face, hair tied up with a High Crown, it was Luo Chen!

Upon seeing him, the leading individual cupped his hands and asked, ”Is it Xuan Luozi in person?”

Luo Chen smiled and nodded, ”Senior Brother Fan Wen?”

Fan Wen smiled, extended his hand and said, ”That’s right, this way please!”

Luo Chen put away the Flying Steed Treasure Carriage and followed Fan Wen into Cuiyan Mountain.

Along the way, Fan Wen began to introduce the situation there to him.

Cuiyan Mountain is named after a type of herb called Cuiyan Flower, which emits waves of green smoke when in bloom.

It is not only planted in this location but also in several places near the Gray Triangle.

For the Su Ling Sect, it is also quite a valuable asset.

But due to the distance and the nearby three Divinity Transformation Sects, it is difficult to station cultivators of too high a realm, and normally it’s only guarded by a Golden Core Cultivator.

The three Divinity Transformation Sects are the Golden Bell Sect, Purple Flame Mountain, and Great Soul Sect respectively.

”Although the sect forces here don’t seem strong, the situation is quite complex; also, due to the many Rogue Cultivators in the Gray Triangle, incidents of robbery and murder are common throughout the year.”

”Two or three hundred years ago, the sect was quite active here, but in recent years they haven’t paid much attention.”

”Perhaps it has to do with the sect having figured out how to transplant and cultivate Cuiyan Flower!”

Fan Wen said this with a somewhat bitter expression.

Obviously, being dispatched here, far from the sect core, is considered a form of exile for a Golden Core Cultivator.

He immediately perked up, ”But this year, a group of fellow disciples has come here to carry out missions.”

Luo Chen curiously asked, ”More fellow disciples?”

”Yes, a total of six people — two Golden Core and four Foundation Establishment — all here on assignments from the Spirit Medicine Institute.” As he said this, Fan Wen seemed to remember something. Looking at Luo Chen, he said, ”One of the female cultivators seems to be like you, from Jade Spring Peak.”

”Oh? What’s her name?” Luo Chen asked casually.

”Her name is Liu Muchan; she performed outstandingly during the sect’s grand competition. This time, she’s probably come out like you, to execute missions and travel a bit.”

Luo Chen nodded, as if the face of that girl appeared in his mind.

He didn’t ask what task they were undertaking, nor did he propose meeting them; instead, he immediately inquired about matters related to Phoenix Eye Obsidian Moss.

Fan Wen answered everything in detail.

The person who discovered the Phoenix Eye Obsidian Moss was the previous Golden Core Cultivator stationed here.

It was during a Rogue Cultivator trade gathering that he found out, and after returning to the sect, he learned that a Nascent Soul True Master needed it; only then did he report the news.

Though the Foreign Affairs Hall instructed the Golden Core stationed at Cuiyan Mountain to pay attention to this matter, there were never any results.

This led to Luo Chen personally coming over.

”So to get specific information, I have to go to the Gray Triangle myself, preferably participate in the relevant Rogue Cultivator trade gathering, right?”

”That’s about right, but you better not hold too much hope. After all, the Rogue Cultivators here tend to be elusive and it’s hard to track down related information.”

”That’s alright, it would be great to find out, but if not, the task fails and no one will hold me accountable.”

Luo Chen said lightly, with no burden.

Fan Wen didn’t doubt these words; the name of Xuan Luozi had already resonated through the Su Ling Sect, and he had heard about it.

With the other’s status in the sect, not completing a task that’s not important wouldn’t affect anything.

Then, Luo Chen pursued some more detailed particulars.

For instance, the location, time, and participation eligibility of the trade gathering that year, and the specific situation of the parties involved in the Phoenix Eye Obsidian Moss transaction, as well as the power distribution in the Gray Triangle.

In the evening, Fan Wen accompanied him, personally setting up a banquet to warmly entertain Luo Chen.

Early the next morning, Luo Chen stepped into the Gray Triangle himself.
