Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen had already cupped his hands in salute. ”Xuan Luo thanks you, Martial Uncle!”

Master You Huang nodded, then fixed Yaoxi with a face full of doubt.

”What exactly happened? Weren’t you going in to save a Middle Stage Golden Core disciple? How did he come out at the Nascent Soul Stage, and even bring back the disciple who disappeared two hundred years ago?”

Yaoxi shook her head. ”It’s a long story; I’ll tell you on the way back.”

You Huang hummed in response. ”Very well. Clean things up, and have the sect disciples take up their posts again. Don’t let other Rogue Cultivators slip in.”

Before leaving, Master You Huang laid out arrangements once more.

To the disciples assigned to guard the place, she warned them repeatedly, not only forbidding outsiders from entering, but also forbidding Sect Disciples from going inside.

This Moyu Space, which was not particularly vast, would assuredly be handled properly by the Su Ling Sect afterward.

As for whether to uproot the Demon Moss, cleanse the Demonic Qi, or make use of it for some other purpose, that was another matter entirely.

Luo Chen and Jiang Huang boarded Yaoxi’s carriage and headed toward the Su Ling Sect, which they had been parted from for twenty years.

...

A massive Flying Boat cleaved through the long sky, leaving only a streak of air-trace hanging in the heavens.

On the Flying Boat, pavilions and towers were scattered everywhere, flying springs and waterfalls cascaded and roared.

From its specifications alone, one could see it was not something a common Nascent Soul True Master would possess.

In truth, this Flying Spring Treasure Boat was indeed not something an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could own; it was the carriage used by the Taisu Spirit Monarch in her Divine Transformation Stage back then.

Later, it was bestowed upon Yaoxi True Master.

At this moment, beneath a small hill, two figures moved with lotus-like steps, speaking in low voices.

”So it was Jiang Huang who acted, saved Xuan Luo, and even counter-killed the Demon Race expert who had once controlled her?”

”That should be correct. I examined that Demon Race corpse—it indeed died under my self-created Flying Waterfall Sword Technique. In the vast Su Ling Sect, only Jiang Huang and I have such mastery.”

”But wasn’t that Demon Race cultivator at the Late-stage Nascent Soul Realm?”

”Realm is secondary. The opponent was of the Poluo Clan, skilled only in Soul Fixing and Soul Capturing, not in slaughter, his actual combat strength extremely weak. While he was performing the top-imbuing on Xuan Luo, his mind was greatly divided, which gave Jiang Huang the chance to erupt and counter-kill. However, the consequences were extremely tragic. After the servant turned to devour the master, Jiang Huang suffered a severe backlash to her Divine Soul, thus ending up in her current state.”

”Ai, this female disciple of yours is truly beset by calamity!”

”To return alive is already the greatest fortune. Those disasters can be regarded as tempering along the path of Cultivation. Moreover, hasn’t it turned into a blessing in disguise? The two of them have both formed Nascent Souls.”

”But I feel their current condition is very unstable. Jiang Huang’s mind is unclear, Xuan Luo’s Realm fluctuates, especially that Nine Nether Demon Moss rooted in their bodies and even their Nascent Souls. This is absolutely not the proper path of Nascent Soul Formation for our kind. If it continues, let alone any hope of Divine Transformation in the future, I fear even their lives are in peril!”

”This matter...”

Yaoxi True Master was likewise deeply worried, but her expression gradually firmed.

”Two disciples lost and found again must never be cast aside. I will request the Divinity Transformation Elders within the sect, and even have the Sect Master personally act to save them!”

Master You Huang did not hold much confidence.

Cases of Demon Moss possession were recorded many times in the classics.

Whether Human Cultivators or powerful members of the Demon Clan, once tainted, it was exceedingly difficult to remove.

Moreover, the Nine Nether Demon Moss could root itself in the soil of the Mystic Realm, transforming a heaven and earth.

That was a top-tier method specially researched by Mahayana experts of the Demon Realm to invade the Mystic Realm.

As for how to remove it, at present only one or two methods had been found, and all with extremely harsh conditions.

Master You Huang pondered for a moment, then spoke softly: ”How about letting them participate in the Demon Suppression Trial as well, using the Demon Marrow Drill method to save themselves?”

Yaoxi True Master fell silent in thought, her heart somewhat hesitant.

”The Demon Suppression Trial is far too dangerous—that is a last resort. After we return, let the seniors of the Sect make the decision!”
