Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Buzz...

Within the ancient temple, spirit light flickers.

In the middle of the enormous demon statue’s head, its gaping mouth hangs low, a vortex rotates counterclockwise.

Suddenly!

Four figures emerged from it, looking disheveled.

Before steadying their footing, one of them instinctively tried to rush back inside.

Beside them, Lu Zhenqiu hurriedly grabbed the person’s arm, ”Senior Sister Liu, don’t be impulsive, don’t enter the tiger’s den again!”

Liu Muchan’s eyes were red, as if she could still hear Junior Brother Xuan Luo saying ”Take her away”.

”How can you tell me not to be impulsive, Junior Brother Xuan Luo is still trapped inside!”

”Mu Han, calm down, the teleportation formation cannot operate anymore, look closely!”

Under Lu Zhenqiu’s stern shout, Liu Muchan’s body stiffened, staring blankly at the demon statue.

The mouth that had hung low was gradually closing, returning to its initial slight open smile.

The teleportation formation within its mouth had completely lost its spirit light.

This state, as anyone with a bit of array knowledge knows, is a sign of teleportation formation failure.

Lu Zhenqiu sighed and said in a low voice, ”It seems Xuan Luo destroyed the teleportation formation to avoid pursuit by the enemy in Moyu Space.”

Liu Muchan’s body trembled uncontrollably, her eyes filled with anguish.

”It shouldn’t have been him, it should have been me. I entered the sect earlier, more experienced, especially since this spirit qi disappearance task had no relation to him, I should have stayed behind to cover the retreat.”

Lu Zhenqiu opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

For instance, Xuan Luo’s realm is higher, his strength greater, or that Xuan Luo’s obstinacy led everyone into such danger.

By reason or emotion, it was not Liu Muchan’s fault.

But with the image of Xuan Luo, sword in hand, standing alone, blocking the way for everyone to retreat in her mind, those words couldn’t come out.

She steadied herself, forcing herself to clear her mind.

Compared to Liu Muchan, with her extensive task execution background since Foundation Establishment, Lu Zhenqiu possessed a wealth of Law Enforcement Institute experience.

She also handled some stalled situations that law enforcement teams couldn’t resolve.

Quickly, she found clarity.

”This task’s reality is far more complex and dangerous than initially published; it needs to be reported to the Three Halls and Five Courtyards.”

”It involves unknown demonic qi, requiring the sect elders to be informed.”

”Especially with Xuan Luo trapped within, given his astonishing talent, many sect figures had great hopes for him, it can’t be overlooked. Nascent Soul True Masters must handle the matter, especially your Master Yaoxi True Master, and...”

Speaking the last part, Lu Zhenqiu recalled benefiting from Luo Chen’s sacrifice, allowing her to stand here safe and sound.

She pursed her lips, ”I will report to Master You Huang, asking her to intervene, ensuring Xuan Luo’s rescue, dead or alive!”

The final words were decisive and clear.

Liu Muchan seemed to find a pillar to rely on, nodding repeatedly.

”Yes, not only must we notify the sect but also ask Nascent Soul True Masters to step in. Also the Divinity Transformation Elders; I heard Elder Ancient Wood greatly favors Junior Brother Xuan Luo, he will surely help rescue him.”

Lu Zhenqiu gazed at her with worry, it was her first time seeing Liu Muchan so panicked.

Having been a rogue cultivator who entered Su Ling Sect via the Spiritual Assembly, her psychological quality far surpassed ordinary sect disciples.

Previously during task execution, she led the team.

Even if caught in sudden battles, Liu Muchan remained composed, preparing to cover the retreat and block the enemy, showing great responsibility.

This current loss of composure was more due to worry clouding judgment.

Yet, before leaving, looking at the demon statue, Lu Zhenqiu felt more regretful.

”I’m afraid he can’t be saved now.”

...

In Moyu Space.

A blood-red figure floated mid-air, with countless black hair streaming behind.

Like a god, like a demon!

All enemies rushing towards him couldn’t even approach, turning into blood mist under the pulse of the spreading blood-red gang qi, ultimately soaking into his blood-colored cloth clothes.

This transformation seemed to shock this place’s master.

In the next moment, two figures shot into the sky.

One donned armor, like a giant beast attacking a city, charging at Luo Chen.

Another wielded a sword, slicing the air, and a black waterfall from the Nine Heavens cascaded down, violently sweeping.

”Oh?”

Luo Chen originally intended to thunderously cleanse the demonic cultivator remnants.

But upon seeing the latter’s move, his expression shifted slightly.

With a casual wave, the armored demon crumbled like piled sand and stones, becoming nutrients for the blood-colored cloth.

As for the black waterfall of sword light rushing at him, Luo Chen merely pinched it lightly with two fingers.

Clang!

At this pinch, the black waterfall of sword light ceased.

And the distant person’s longsword lost control, silently halting.

Luo Chen beckoned with his two fingers, the person was drawn over with no resistance.

Luo Chen examined closely.

The opponent’s figure was graceful, clad in dark green armor.

Flowing black hair, exquisite features.

Only her eyes were filled with hostility, even under control, glaring at Luo Chen with murderous intent.

Recalling the previous sword strike, Luo Chen finally found a familiar source.

”Jade Spring Peak, Heavenly Waterfall Sword Technique!”

He was certain he wasn’t wrong, for that swordsmanship was rare, inspired by Yaoxi True Master’s creation from the rushing waterfall of Jade Spring Peak.

When performed, one could compress their Nascent Soul Domain into sword qi; even if one’s realm didn’t match the enemy, the concentration was sufficient to breach the opponent’s domain.

Moreover, Golden Core cultivators could practice it, yielding enormous power.

Back in the day, Jade Spring Peak had a true disciple who gained notable fame with this sword technique.
