Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Exiting Su King Hall.

Despite the Nascent Soul cultivators feeling physically fatigued due to treasure refining, their spirits are high.

Originally, they were confident about the Demon Suppression Trial, and now with protective measures bestowed by the sect elders, their confidence has increased.

Luo Chen and Jiang Huang followed behind Yaoxi, chatting as they strolled.

Mostly Yaoxi spoke, while the other two listened.

”Jiang Huang, since your realm is the lowest and your strength lacking, Elder Tai Heng has given you a defensive treasure robe. When we enter the Demon Cave, do not act rashly. First, use the Lotus Brand to join us; focus on self-preservation. As for the needed Demon Marrow Drill, I will find it for you as your mentor.”

”I am a burden to the master.”

Yaoxi shook her head, not sharing this sentiment.

In the past, she hadn’t fulfilled her duties as a mentor, and this time is an opportunity to make amends.

Moreover, with the Lotus Brand on hand, the ten Nascent Souls of the Su Ling Sect can gather together, making the search for Demon Marrow Drill far easier than other sects’ Nascent Soul cultivators.

She then shifted the topic to Luo Chen.

”Did you learn anything from your outing with Elder Tian Ge?”

Luo Chen said excitedly, ”Learned many things. Elder Tian Ge shared everything with me, and I’ve now touched the threshold of Law Divine Powers.”

”Is that so? That’s good...” Yaoxi said softly, her tone unsure whether out of envy or comfort. She smiled slightly, ”With the speed of your cultivation under Xuan Luo, and your outstanding talent, you might advance beyond me someday.”

Luo Chen bowed slightly, ”Master flatters me, I wouldn’t dare.”

It’s not a matter of not daring, but rather not being unable!

Yaoxi was momentarily stunned, sensing the powerful confidence behind his humble words.

Originally, she was merely fulfilling a responsibility by overseeing a Spiritual Assembly, casually taking in three rogue cultivator apprentices.

Never did she expect that a true dragon would emerge from the mire!

If that day truly comes, where Luo Chen surpasses her, what a scene it would be...

Yaoxi True Master murmured, ”That would be a good thing!”

As the trio of mentor and disciples casually strolled and chatted, those ahead suddenly stopped.

Dean He turned and looked back, smiling: ”Yaoxi, I plan to hold a gathering in a couple of days. It would be convenient for fellows to foster relationships before the Demon Suppression Trial. Would you join?”

Yaoxi True Master gladly accepted the invitation.

Having prepared for the Demon Suppression Trial for so long, this month’s hard cultivation is no longer crucial.

Jiang Huang also accepted.

However, when it came to Luo Chen, he politely declined.

”After Elder Tian Ge’s guidance, I have a realization and wish to make the most of this upcoming month, so I’ll skip the gathering. With the Demon Suppression Trial still some days away, during the journey, I intend to visit various masters.”

Dean He understood and did not insist.

Watching Luo Chen bid farewell to Yaoxi and fly alone toward Dan Emperor Mountain, he stroked his mustache and smiled.

”Such talent and diligence at such a young age for Xuan Luozi to reach this realm!”

Beside him, Tie Ma True Master nodded in agreement.

Master Liting observed with great curiosity, still somewhat unable to associate Luo Chen with that rogue cultivator led by the Spiritual Assembly in the Taisu Immortal City.

A mere rogue cultivator, truly forming a Nascent Soul at a hundred years?

Yet among the Seven True Masters of Su Ling, the other three expressed indifference.

”Forming a Nascent Soul via demonic Qi infusion is mere luck with endless troubles ahead.”

”He took the slot that should have been Junior Brother Qian’s, didn’t he?”

”Just hope that upon entering the Demon Cave, this guy doesn’t drag us down.”

Yaoxi True Master’s expression darkened upon hearing their gossip.

”Hong Yan, Sheng Lin, Qian Xiu, what do you mean by this?”

Seeing the fellow disciples about to argue, Dean He heavily coughed.

With his prestige, he immediately quelled the argument.

In the silence, Dean He spoke sternly, ”Have you forgotten the Sect Master’s admonition? On this trip, we must unite and support each other, not quarrel among brethren. Xuan Luo is young; we ought to be more tolerant. Moreover, given his talent, in time, he will surely become a sect pillar. Isn’t such capacity to accommodate talent expected from you all?”

Those three who had previously questioned bowed and admitted their mistake.

”Thank you, Senior Brother, for the timely admonishment!”

...

As Luo Chen left Su King Hall, unaware of the controversy caused behind him due to his presence.

With Taisu Spirit Monarch present, he dared not unleash his Divine Perception, comparable to the Peak of Divinity Transformation.

Though at the peak of Divine Transformation, it was ultimately the God Transformation level.

A slight oversight would be detected by the Void Refining True Monarch.

Nevertheless, he was well aware that his unprecedented participation in the Demon Suppression Trial affects many.

Whether from taking someone’s slot leading to disputes or his perceived weak appearance causing worry, these are to be expected.

Such concerns cannot be resolved by attending a few fellow gatherings and cultivating feelings.

Hence, he declined without a second thought.

Besides, he indeed had matters to address within the coming month.

More pressing is not the aforementioned realization, but matters related to Pill Refinement.

Upon returning to the Mountain Sea Palace,

Luo Chen entered the Pill Room.

With a wave of his hand, a storage bag floated in midair, its contents of various herbs falling like rain.

All of these were collected during a decade by fellow Lü Su from Dan Court.

Upon inspection, Luo Chen nodded satisfactorily.

Though missing some auxiliary materials, the primary needed ones have mostly been gathered.

This collection is worthy of the rewards he provided.

As for the lacking supplementary materials, for him, they pose no issue; by merely contacting the Spirit Medicine Institute, he can easily gather them.
