Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1446: Chapter 539-3

However, upon reflecting, he realized that anyone capable of refining a Third-Order Top-Grade Elixir, even in the Eastern Wasteland, was considered a top-tier figure!

Both Qing Danzi and Meng Changshou, at their peak, could only refine Ascendant Grade pills of the third order, and even then, their success rates were not guaranteed.

Though they were capable of refining one or two Fourth Order Pills, those were as straightforward as the Transforming Pill.

Even so, Qing Danzi and Meng Changshou were renowned figures in the East Desolate Immortal World, no less significant than the ordinary Nascent Soul True Masters.

Having understood this, he felt more at ease.

Seeing his composure, Wu Qi took a deep breath.

Indeed!

No wonder that before, when he mentioned the backing of Blood Nightmare Mo Luo, the Demon King Qingyang was utterly indifferent.

A being capable of refining a Third-Order Top-Grade Elixir was undoubtedly someone any Nascent Soul Stage Great Power would vie to recruit.

While Blood Nightmare Mo Luo had significant influence, Demon King Qingyang was no lesser.

The other party also possessed an unparalleled Pill Refinement Technique, not inferior to the other’s Nascent Soul Realm.

Who was superior and who was inferior was clear at a glance—there was indeed no need for the latter to bow down.

Swallowing nervously, he suppressed the greed he had harbored before and earnestly said, ”Friend, do you have any interest in joining the Mo Luo Sect?”

”No interest!”

Without any hesitation!

Luo Chen immediately refused, not giving the other party any face.

Had it been anyone else who was so impolite, Wu Qi would have been enraged.

But before him was a Master-level Alchemist!

Being proud of his talents was only natural!

He didn’t take it personally and continued to warmly invite him.

He detailed how vast the Mo Luo Sect’s Force was, with each of the Twelve Sect Masters having imposing presence, and numerous vast resources under their command.

With hundreds of Golden Core Cultivators and tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, and Qi Refiners scattered like rainclouds.

Once joining the Mo Luo Sect, he would be the chief Pill Master, a position of honor unparalleled!

Noticing that Luo Chen seemed slightly moved,

He struck while the iron was hot, ”Master Qingyang, you killed Yan Nantian, that’s a fact. Although Yan Nantian was not very important, he had nominally joined the Canghai Righteous Alliance. That’s a Holy Land Level Force possessing Divine Transformation Great Powers—are you not worried about them troubling you?”

If appealing to interest didn’t work, then he highlighted the harm!

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen scoffed.

”With my abilities, comparing me with Yan Nantian is like comparing the bright moon to a firefly. The cultivators of the Canghai Alliance are not fools. Once I demonstrate my Alchemy Dao Accomplishment, won’t they still treat me as an honored guest? And as you said, that is a force with Divine Transformation Great Powers—wouldn’t it be better than the Mo Luo Sect?”

Wu Qi was stunned.

Unwilling to give up, he pondered carefully.

After a long pause, he unsurely added, ”Everyone knows that although the Canghai Righteous Alliance is a righteous force, it is very loosely organized. The Li surnamed Great Power is reclusive and never manages affairs; he might as well not exist. Those forces opposing the Canghai Alliance are mostly either backed by the Yuan Mo Sect like our Mo Luo Sect or involve overseas powers. I speculate that the Canghai Righteous Alliance will not last long—why would you, Friend, join a force that will inevitably be a thing of the past?”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, gaining a deeper understanding of the political currents in the North Sea Cultivation World.

No wonder these forces without Divine Transformation Great Powers dared to oppose the Canghai Righteous Alliance.

The remnant of Yuan Mo was the orthodox of North Sea!

And the overseas forces must belong to the Divine Transformation Holy Lands of the other Four Continents.

That explained why the Li surnamed Great Power who established the Canghai Righteous Alliance kept away from worldly affairs, leaving the trivial matters of the alliance to be handled by the Nascent Soul True Masters.

However, this made him even less inclined to join the Mo Luo Sect.

In such a massive power struggle, it’s easy for the innocent to get caught in the crossfire.

Seeing Luo Chen unmoved, Wu Qi felt a deep sense of frustration.

The other’s strength was no less than his, and he possessed an exceptional mastery of the Dao of Alchemy.

If one desires nothing, they truly embody the unyielding...

Wait!

Wu Qi carefully recalled, when he mentioned the vast resources and numerous followers of Mo Luo Sect, the other seemed slightly interested.

Master-level Alchemists often have many followers at their disposal.

While this highlights the prestige of a Master-level Alchemist, it also indirectly proves that such beings need others to run their errands.

Demon King Qingyang, although appearing desireless,

if he were truly a drifter like a lone cloud or wild crane, why would he boldly strike down Yan Nantian who bore him no grudge or grievance?

Wasn’t it for the manpower and resources of the Flying Swallow Islands?

Having realized this, Wu Qi relaxed.

A smile once again spread across his face.

”Daoist Qingyang, joining Mo Luo Sect comes with many benefits, which I need not enumerate.”

”But among the Twelve Sect Masters, all are Nascent Soul True Masters, and insights on Nascent Soul Formation can still be offered, aren’t you tempted?”

”Of course, you may fear the hassle. But whatever the trouble, it won’t fall upon an Alchemist. You don’t need to worry about that.”

”Here’s what we’ll do!”

Wu Qi didn’t bother with any pretense or ramble on.

From his Storage Bag, he took out a blood-red diamond-shaped token.

”This is the Blood Nightmare Order, a token bestowed by the Blood Nightmare Demon Lord to those who have achieved great deeds for him. If you wish to join Mo Luo Sect, you can find me with this in Feileng City after ten years.”

”Ten years?” Luo Chen asked, puzzled.

Wu Qi nodded, ”I’m not exactly sure, but around ten years or so. I’ll definitely be traveling from Wu Shen Island to Feileng City then. Of course, if you’re interested, you can come directly to Wu Shen Island.”

While speaking, he handed Luo Chen a map.

At this moment, he no longer showed any reluctance to leave.

After exchanging a few courtesies with Luo Chen, he left, floating away.

Standing on Yao Yue Island, watching the Glint of his departure, Luo Chen held the blood-colored token, his eyes filled with hesitation.

An old voice came from behind.

”Are you tempted?”

Without turning his head, Luo Chen replied, ”Somewhat, but I fear the hassle even more.”

”In cultivation, troubles are inevitable; it’s not always smooth sailing.”

Luo Chen shook his head, looked closely at the token in his hand for a moment, and then placed it inside his ring.

”We’ll see.”

”With my current abilities, and in your current state, I can’t quite handle those troubles yet.”

At this point, Han Zhan, hidden inside the Soul-Refining Banner, let out an awkward laugh.

”Actually, having you replenish the souls in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.”

No response came.

Luo Chen had already returned to his Cave Mansion, taking out the Top Grade True Flame Pill.
