Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 917: Chapter 375: Guest Elder, Have the Four Sects Gone Mad?

With the power of lightning, the research for Orifice Unblocking was incessantly conducted by Luo Chen.

After all, the front-line battle had nothing to do with them.

The intent of the Four Sects Alliance to defend the Sixth Mountain was so clear that unless there was a real shortage of people, it was estimated that the Luo Tian Creed would have to be pushed to the forefront.

Several days later.

Sitting cross-legged in the Thunder Strike Wood Forest, Luo Chen was enveloped by threads of fine lightning attracted by the Guided Thunder Net onto his body.

An ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivator might feel uncomfortable or even terrified of this.

But Luo Chen’s physique was strong and because of long-term cultivation of the ”Evergreen Sutra,” his body had an extremely strong recovery ability.

This small amount of lightning was not enough to scare him at all.

Instead, using the modified method of controlling Evil Qi, he controlled these feeble lightning bolts to strike the Spirit Qi Membrane on his acupoints.

Luo Chen closed his eyes tightly, his Spirit Consciousness constantly monitoring the changes within his body.

Under his control, a thread of lightning, like a needle, pierced towards the Spirit Qi Membrane.

Suddenly!

”Hmm!”

Luo Chen hummed softly and opened his eyes.

In his eyes, there was nothing but joy.

”It’s feasible!”

”It’s indeed feasible!”

”Although I cannot control the Power of Thunder for cultivation, I can definitely use it to open acupoints.”

”Ultimately, Evil Qi and lightning are just forms of energy. Since I can control Evil Qi, of course I can also control lightning for a short period.”

”But I still have to get the measure right. If a large amount of lightning enters the body, it could wreak devastating damage to my physique. That would not be good at all.”

Muttering to himself.

Luo Chen stopped today’s cultivation.

Just as he walked out of the Thunder Strike Wood Forest, Xu Huanzhen hurried up to meet him.

”Guild leader, Ascendant Master Jueqing has requested your presence!”

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, ”What does she want with me?”

No wonder Luo Chen was surprised.

Since the hasty encounter at the Golden Sand Floating Island, the Jueqing Fairy had returned to the Sixth Mountain and had not seen him since.

He could foresee the awkwardness between them.

It was nothing more than dissatisfaction with Luo Chen for using Ascendant Master Yin Yue to pressure her.

Luo Chen had no regrets.

Without that incident, the Luo Tian Creed would now be the ones on the front line.

How would they enjoy such a peaceful ’battlefield tour’!

The days for the Luo Tian Creed were even more comfortable than some of the inner disciples in the Ice Castle.

”Well, if she wants to see me, then I’ll make the trip!”

Luo Chen smiled and left the residence directly.

...

Inside a tent.

The woman coldly assessed Luo Chen and after a long while finally spoke in a low voice:

”You seem to be living quite comfortably these days.”

Luo Chen expressed his respect with a bow.

”It’s all thanks to the Ascendant Master’s care!”

Jueqing Fairy’s lips twitched, but she didn’t say anything.

In her view, it was best for Luo Chen not to come to the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain battlefield and not to muddy the waters.

As for the Luo Tian Creed Cultivators?

In her eyes, they were but cannon fodder, unworthy of the effort to take care of.

”I heard you need a large amount of Second Order Earth Fire Evil Qi?” Jueqing Fairy suddenly said.

Luo Chen’s heart stirred, and he nodded subconsciously.

”I have quite a collection here, about five hundred units. Do you want them?”

Luo Chen showed a delighted expression.

Want them? How could he not!

Although he could use the Power of Thunder to unblock his acupoints, he still could not control it as desired and had to occasionally use his healing technique to repair the damage caused by the Power of Thunder.

But with the Earth Fire Evil Qi, he could control it with ease.

There was no reason to forsake the easy for the difficult!

”Then I thank the Ascendant Master. What about the Spirit Stones?”

”Just use the normal price from the Golden Sand Floating Island. Also, the gourd for storing Evil Qi is an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool, so you’ll need to add five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.” she said.

”Mmm-hmm.”

Luo Chen nodded repeatedly, took out thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag, and handed them to her.

This was a normal transaction, not considered a favor.

However, Jueqing Fairy’s willingness to consider Luo Chen’s needs and actively make a deal with him was a gesture of goodwill that Luo Chen still appreciated.

Watching Luo Chen happily store the gourd full of Earth Fire Evil Qi.

Jueqing Fairy inexplicably sighed.

She wanted to say something, but when it reached her lips, she swallowed the words back down.

Luo Chen noticed her hesitation and could not help but ask with doubt, ”Ascendant Master, did you ask for me because there’s something else?”

Jueqing Fairy pondered for a long while before finally speaking:

”In half a year, you all can go back!”

Luo Chen was stunned.

He was about to say that he couldn’t abandon the Luo Tian Creed Cultivators, but then he realised the implication.

”You all”?

He tentatively asked, ”Does the Ascendant Master mean all of us from the Luo Tian Creed?”

”Yes. But not to just sit around doing nothing. You’ll be pulled back to the rear to be in charge of logistics transportation and to guard against the dependencies of the Sword Sect from encroaching on our territory,” Jueqing Fairy said indifferently.

Upon hearing this.

Joy erupted on Luo Chen’s face, not that he needed to, or could, conceal it any longer.

The very thing he had schemed for but couldn’t accomplish before.

Now, after braving the danger himself, the other party had finally yielded.

However, he still pretended to be concerned as he asked, ”If we leave, what about your lineage, Ascendant Master?”

”You don’t need to worry about that. The Ice Castle will send a team to replace Dan Taijun and the others. Someone still needs to oversee the operations in Immortal City,” Jueqing Fairy replied.

Luo Chen’s concern was only for show.

But her words sparked a new confusion within him.

All of the offerings he had made before were enough for Jueqing Fairy to gain so much?

Not only allowing the Luo Tian Creed to withdraw to a safer rear position but also enabling Jueqing’s Clan to withdraw completely from the mire of war?

It seemed that Jueqing Fairy noticed Luo Chen’s confusion.

At that moment, she no longer hid her motives.
