Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2309: Chapter 848: Mingyuan and Chong Xuan Yield Danluo

In terms of realm, even with the help of the top-grade Hong Yuan Pill, it is impossible to surpass the fifth level of the Nascent Soul in a short period.

Thus, Luo Chen focused on improving his weaknesses.

The Moon Step, which was previously stuck at the Perfection Level, was now, under his constant practice, climbing madly toward the Grandmaster Level.

If he could master a Grandmaster Level combat technique before the great decisive battle, it would definitely be a great help.

Moreover, he also took sporadic moments to study and perfect the Wind Leg with Wang Yuan, attempting to master another body technique.

…

On this day.

Cultivators of the Luo Tian Sect gathered on Danluo Mountain, waiting for the appearance of Luo Chen.

Soon, Luo Chen walked out.

“What’s going on? Weren’t you supposed to be assigned to patrol the West City of Lingtian Pass? Why have you all returned?”

Faced with Luo Chen’s inquiry, Zeng Yilong proactively stepped forward.

“It’s the Mingyuan Cultivators who brought us out.”

“Hmm?” Luo Chen was puzzled.

Zeng Yilong continued, “Our tasks have all been taken over by those female cultivators from the Divine Sound Mansion. They have strength in numbers and don’t need our effort.”

Not allowing Luo Tian Sect cultivators to work, what does this mean?

Beside him, Jueqing Fairy whispered, “Lingtian Pass is preparing for battle, and all shops have been ordered to cease operations. Pavilion Master Sima Huiniang and Elder Gu are also leading their disciples to Danluo Mountain.”

This is not surprising; those shops are built at strategic locations, and once a battle begins, if demons storm into the city, they serve well as defensive installations for ambush.

Even the Luotian Treasure Pavilion has been included in the drafting range.

But connecting all these matters, Luo Chen felt something was not quite right.

Suddenly!

He raised his eyebrows, walked out of the conference hall, and gazed distantly toward the sky.

The crowd was puzzled, but as a giant flying boat flew in from the direction of the City Lord Mansion, they realized something.

People from the City Lord Mansion had arrived!

Luo Chen signaled, and Zeng Yilong from his ranks took the initiative to fly up.

“Junior Sha Dragon Child, may I ask which senior is present?”

“I am Chong Xuan of Mingyuan, have your lord come up to speak!”

Zeng Yilong froze.

But after Luo Chen transmitted his voice, he immediately retreated obediently.

A figure leapt into the sky and walked into a palace at the center of the flying boat, under the curious gaze of many lower-order cultivators of the Mingyuan Sect.

Upon entering, several gazes instantly swept over.

There were six people, all in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Especially the one in the lead; his strong aura of the late stage of the Nascent Soul was undisguised.

True Master Chong Xuan!

Luo Chen recognized this person’s name, as he was from the Mingyuan reinforcements encountered by Jiuling Yuanjun’s group back then.

This Great Cultivator had once personally led five True Masters of the Mingyuan Sect to expel Bi Zheng and other Demon Emperors from the Void Emperor Domain.

True Master Chong Xuan had white hair, yet his face was naturally imposing, and he stared at Luo Chen with a cold voice, “Are you Luo Chen of the Alchemy Sect?”

Luo Chen’s expression was calm, “I am exactly from my sect.”

True Master Chong Xuan’s voice was quite loud, “I heard you took a strike from Junior Brother Zhang and were unscathed?”

Junior Brother Zhang?

Luo Chen instantly realized that the Zhang Junior Brother he spoke of was Lei Daozi.

His real name was Zhang Che, and although he was the most famous member of the Mingyuan Sect’s outside disciples, his actual cultivation time was not long.

Therefore, no matter how deep his realm, his seniority within the Mingyuan Sect was not actually high.

Such as the Lingtian City Lord and True Master Chong Xuan could be considered his senior brothers.

Luo Chen said in a deep voice, “Indeed it is true, why, does Friend Chong Xuan also want to have a try?”

With these words, the curious gazes of the other five Nascent Soul True Masters instantly turned sharp.

The atmosphere in the place, because of Luo Chen’s boldness, seemed quite tense and confrontational.

True Master Chong Xuan squinted his eyes slightly and stared at Luo Chen for a long while.

Suddenly!

He shook his head, “There may be opportunities for fellow discipleship in the future, but acting now would harm the harmony. I am here today just to inform you of one thing. Danluo Mountain must be ceded to us.”

“Hmm?”

Luo Chen let out a heavy sound of doubt.

True Master Chong Xuan explained, “Regarding the upcoming great battle, you must see it clearly; not only is Lingtian Pass within the attack range of the demon clan’s army, but also the surrounding Five Domains. Now there are many strong ones within the pass, and there is no shortage of one or two Nascent Soul True Masters, but the other Five Domains lack them. So, you can take the Luo Tian Sect cultivators back to Baili Qingchuan to set up defenses.”

“Is this the intention of the City Lord Mansion?”

“Yes! You shouldn’t have any thoughts about it. An insignificant Danluo Mountain is of no concern to me. On the contrary, the rear is relatively safe and can avoid the first wave of attack.”

Luo Chen fell silent. Not long ago, he was telling people that he would stand firm at Lingtian Pass and make those Demon Emperors pay the price.

Seeing Luo Chen not speaking, True Master Chong Xuan’s tone softened, gently persuading.

“Alchemy Sect, perhaps you have Heaven-Reaching capabilities, but what about your sect disciples? If not for yourself, you must consider for them. This arrangement is generous enough for your Luotian Sect.”

Someone beside added, “Yes, Alchemy Sect, I’ve heard your Luotian Sect disciples have dwindled, afraid they cannot withstand too much turmoil. Retreating to the rear is undoubtedly a good thing.”

Faced with such an echo, Luo Chen suddenly laughed.

“Since it is the intention of the Mingyuan Sect, and this Danluo Mountain has also been supported by the Lingtian City Lord’s kindness for many years, I might as well let it be!”

“Please wait for a while!”

After saying this, Luo Chen waved his sleeve and left.

After he left, True Master Chong Xuan frowned.

He never said it was the intention of the Mingyuan Sect; previously, he mentioned it was the City Lord Mansion’s idea.

But it doesn’t matter!

…

A cloud chariot, looking magnificent but not particularly grand, slowly ascended from Danluo Mountain.

Flying high in the sky, it passed by a great Mingyuan Sect flying boat.

Luo Chen stood on the deck of the cloud chariot, smiling as he nodded in acknowledgment to True Master Chong Xuan, who was overlooking Danluo Mountain from his boat.

From now on, other than the name, this Danluo Mountain had little to do with Luo Chen.

As the cloud chariot and flying boat passed each other, the smile on Luo Chen’s face gradually faded.

“Uncle Master, are we heading directly to Baili Qingchuan next?” Zeng Yilong asked.

“First, go pick up your two aunts,” Luo Chen instructed plainly.

Zeng Yilong nodded and immediately went down to instruct the cultivators to change course.

Wang Yuan walked to Luo Chen’s side and asked in a low voice, “Are you alright?”

Luo Chen replied, “What’s there to be wrong about? Retreating to the rear is not a bad thing for us.”

Wang Yuan shook his head, “It’s a good thing for Luotian Sect, but for you, perhaps not so much.”

Luo Chen opened his mouth but did not object.

If a great battle breaks out, with his capabilities, as long as luck is not too bad, he could certainly slay demons again and make a name for himself.

Adding to the prestige he has accumulated before, he could easily ascend to a higher level.

Especially now, except for the Mingyuan Sect, all other large and small powers in the Eastern Wasteland have significantly declined, allowing him to rise with the momentum and gain higher prestige and status.

At that time, even if the Mingyuan Sect wants to forcibly recruit him, they would have to pay a sufficient price.

But now, under the pretext of responding to a great decisive battle, he was transferred away from the front lines, leaving him unable to accumulate battle merits and thus enhance his reputation?

He doesn’t know if this was a deliberate or accidental arrangement by the Mingyuan Sect, or was it deliberately accidental?

But he cannot oppose it.

Wang Yuan sighed, “It’s us who have dragged you down!”

Luo Chen waved his hand, “Don’t say things like that. Without you all, there wouldn’t be the me that is here today.”

Wang Yuan looked downcast, “But now, we indeed have become your burden.”

Back when Luo Chen was at his weakest, relying on unity to survive, Luotian Sect protected him and nurtured him all the way.

But now that Luo Chen’s realm has advanced rapidly, it has indeed become a burden.

Why can Tian Douzi represent various sects and deal with the Lingtian City Lord, even getting the Mingyuan Sect to assist each sect?

Not only because he has the strength of a Great Cultivator but also because he has the backing of a powerful Tiandu Sect!

Why could Shouyang Mountain Man initiate the Shouyang Discourse and even lift Lingtian Pass’s commercial restrictions, gaining immense prestige?

Isn’t it also because of the backing of the East Sun Sect!

But with Luo Chen, when he wants to progress further, the weak Luotian Sect pulls him back.

Seeing the always resilient and never self-pitying Wang Yuan showing such a dejected expression, Luo Chen pursed his lips tightly.

“No!”

“It’s true that Luotian Sect is weak, but it’s also true that I’m not strong enough yet!”

“If I were strong enough, I alone could stand above all cultivators!”

Wang Yuan stared blankly at Luo Chen. At this moment, he didn’t see the pride and satisfaction of the past few days on the young man’s face, only the ever-unsatisfied expression reminiscent of when his realm was low.

“Let’s go, after we return, we’ll complete the Wind Leg technique together. I have gained new insights into the ’Stepping Void Step.’ By combining it with the Piaomiao Sect’s ’Wind God Three Forms,’ perhaps we can deduce a new Wind Leg!”

Luo Chen said loudly, showing no sign of disappointment from being transferred from Lingtian Pass, but rather ambitious, with a stance eager to accomplish great things.

Haha, it’s just about completing one cultivation technique after all.

Wang Yuan smiled, “Then let’s do it together!”
