Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1278: Chapter 487: The Foundation of All Ages, The Seven Great Prohibitions

It was as if on the plains of Snow Wolf Flat.

A colossal Dragon Boat was moored there, ablaze with lights and shimmering in radiant colors.

One after another, the Lower Order Disciples meandered about, serving up freshly prepared, delicious dishes, and distributing them to everyone’s table.

The main dish for today was wolf meat!

The meat of the Third Order Demon Wolf King, subdued by Fu Jiusheng and who had perished under Luo Chen’s Xuanhuo Sword!

A faint, almost imperceptible scent of blood lingered in the great hall of the Dragon Boat.

Chen Xiuli and the Jueqing Fairy, two Female Cultivators, fluttered their sleeves to cover their noses, somewhat displeased with the odor.

Sitting at a higher position, Luo Chen saw this and apologetically said, ”I’m sorry, I hadn’t expected the Spirit Chefs below to have failed to completely remove the smell of blood. If the two of you dislike it, I will instruct someone to take it away immediately.”

Before Jueqing and the others could speak, Jin Buque’s hearty laughter was heard.

”The flesh of a Demon King, immersed in Demon Qi day and night, is bound to carry a hint of blood. But the Snow Wolf King is different. It absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon and is purified by ice and snow. Consuming this meat is greatly nourishing for us Golden Core Cultivators! Give it a try, my friends, you might find the taste to your liking once you get used to it!”

Chen Xiuli hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of meat, and placed it in her mouth, chewing gently.

Soon enough, her eyes lit up.

”It’s indeed extraordinary, unlike any Demon Beast meat I’ve tasted before!”

The Jueqing Fairy decided to taste a piece; although still not fond of the bloodiness, the flavor was quite distinctive upon tasting.

Her furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

The other guests had already begun to eat.

Once a Cultivator achieved Foundation Establishment, they could fast for extended periods.

But that didn’t mean High Order Cultivators lost their desire for food.

Especially Spirit Meals of demon meat beneficial to cultivation, which were often much favored by High Order Cultivators.

This was why the profession of Spirit Chef was ubiquitous in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Meat from the Snow Wolf King like this was indeed a highly nourishing ingredient!

Fei Ming chuckled and said, ”We should also thank Dan Chenzi for his generosity. Where else could we taste the flesh and blood of a Demon King so readily?”

Luo Chen simply shook his head with a smile.

It was Song Mi from the Sky Blade Sect who, with a hearty spirit that belied the typical demeanor of a True Cultivator, devoured a large chunk of meat.

His booming laughter resounded, ”This thrilling life of waging Open War and consuming the flesh of the Wolf King is a rare and exhilarating experience amid our austere years of cultivation; it demands to be celebrated with a drink!”

Luo Chen’s mouth curved upwards as he raised his wine glass slowly.

”Friend Song speaks the truth, we should indeed drink to this occasion. Everyone, please!”

Everyone in the hall raised their glasses and drank together.

After one cup came another.

”This second cup,” Luo Chen said, ”represents the Luo Tian Alliance, on behalf of Di Wuqi and four other friends, as well as the thousands of disciples, to express our gratitude for your help in moving the mountain. I shall drink first as a gesture of my appreciation!”

In front of everyone, Luo Chen drained his cup.

Di Wuqi, Jiang Yu, and the others also followed suit and drank.

After the second cup,

Luo Chen stood up from his seat after a maid refilled his glass.

”The last cup, I would like to propose a toast to everyone. In the future, the Luo Tian Sect, Wind and Rain Villa, and the Cen Family will settle down in the land of Three Mountains. Whenever you have leisure time, feel free to visit as guests; you will always be friends of the Luo Tian Alliance!”

”Good, it is an honor for me, Song Mi, to befriend someone like Luo Chen. I’ll join you in that drink!” Song Mi declared magnanimously.

”If I ever come knocking, that’s when I’ll be earning Spirit Stones!” Fei Ming said with a good-natured laugh.

Holding his wine glass, Luo Chen also laughed, ”I’m only afraid that you won’t be inclined to visit. Now that this foundation lies in ruins and needs rebuilding, we could genuinely use the mighty assistance of Friend Ailao!”

Fei Ming laughed heartily.

If the Luo Tian Alliance aimed to establish Sect grounds and a place of fortune, it wouldn’t be a minor undertaking like that of Danxia Peak.

What a massive business deal he had inadvertently negotiated for Ailao Mountain!

Chen Xiuli looked enviously at the spirited Luo Chen, wishing she too could have such a land for cultivation. Unfortunately, the Tianyi District Chen Family, averse to conflict, dared not hastily attack mountains and rivers endowed with natural Spirit Veins.

The Jueqing Fairy sat below, her slender neck tilted back as she looked up at the impressive Luo Chen, her mind a touch entranced.

She recalled the first time she saw Luo Chen.

His face was waxen, his Divine Soul wounded.

His cultivation Realm was nothing much to speak of, and he had only a handful of Sect Disciples.

Even his Immortal Mansion was of a modest Second Order Lower Grade, and it had been only through her influence that he was assigned a Second Order Upper Grade Mansion in Tian Lan Immortal City.

Nearly a hundred years had swiftly passed.

He had now become a widely celebrated Pill Refinement Grandmaster, and his realm was no different from hers.

In terms of status, he had risen from nothing, founding a Sect and becoming a sort of founding ancestor.

Now, he had even secured a Third Order Spirit Land through sheer force of will!

Such change was indeed profound, beyond words and emotive.

Amidst the jest, Jueqing Fairy heard Luo Chen saying, ”Everyone, please drink up!” and she quietly consumed the Spirit Wine in her cup.

...

The banquet ended somewhat hastily, neither grand nor accompanied by celestial music and dancing.

But everyone was well-fed and flushed with pleasure.

Amid laughter and lively conversation, the guests finally departed as dawn broke.

On Snow Wolf Flat, Luo Chen cordially bid farewell to each departing friend.

Whether genuine friends or merely allies of convenience tied by interests, they were all good friends to him in these times when the Luo Tian Alliance had yet to establish a firm foothold!
