Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster - Chapter 2468 - 906:
Chapter 2468: Chapter 906:
The host, Luo Chen, looked slightly pale and realized something.
This Heize Ancestor has already comprehended the Law’s True Intent of the Water Attribute!
Water and fire counteract each other; one might say water naturally restrains fire.
Unless someone cultivating Fire Attribute Techniques is inherently much stronger than Water Type cultivators, only then can they form a counter-suppression.
But obviously, at this moment, Luo Chen was far inferior to Heize Ancestor.
He discreetly glanced at the Black Pond, then stood respectfully to the side, and said with a hint of grievance:
“Actually, I’m already accustomed to such matters.”
“In my youth, as a Rogue Cultivator, I only slightly displayed a talent in the Dao of Alchemy, and was noticed by Foundation Establishment powerhouses who forcibly took me into their ranks.”
He paused as he said this, then continued:
“Later, after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was also due to my Pill Refinement Technique that I was able to make good relationships with a Sect and gain a foothold.”
“But I didn’t expect, after finally achieving the Nascent Soul True Master’s rank, I still couldn’t escape this fate.”
“I can only say there are always people better than others, and heavens beyond heavens, I still have many shortcomings and cannot control my own destiny!”
These words were spoken with grievance and resignation.
Even the three ancestors felt somewhat unnatural.
They, the Dark Abyss Sect, recruited Luo Chen just like those Foundation Establishment Cultivators forcibly recruited him; it was similar in conduct.
But they knew Luo Chen was telling the truth.
Information about Luo Chen was not a secret.
If anyone cared to collect it, the Dark Abyss Sect wasn’t the only one; even other ordinary Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects could clearly investigate Luo Chen’s rise to prominence.
Ancestor Tianyuan comforted, “A tree standing out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, a person without guilt but carrying treasures incurs suspicion. You possess Pill Refinement Techniques beyond the common knowledge, naturally attracting others’ covetousness. Now that you are in our Dark Abyss Sect, there is no need to worry in the future.”
Luo Chen’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
Ancestor Tianyuan laughed heartily, “What would be false about it? In the future, you can totally research the Dao of Alchemy freely like Chen Mozi and Xinyi Sheng. You can even leave your legacy like Chu Yan and Mr. Xuan Yan, and if you wish to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, we will definitely assist you!”
Luo Chen said joyfully, “Then I thank the ancestor!”
Heize Ancestor suddenly spoke, “Before that, first hand over the key to the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.”
“Is it that space?” Luo Chen asked.
Ancestor Tianyuan nodded, “Yes, that space is the origin left behind after Yanfu Mountain ascended into the sky in the past. It has a Fifth Order foundation itself. Originally, we intended to give it to Chu Yan for cultivation use and hoped she would slowly nurture it to the Fifth-Order Level to provide our Dark Abyss Sect with an additional Fifth Order Spirit Vein. Unfortunately, she locked the door before leaving, and we cannot forcibly open it, cutting off the Blessed Land’s connection with the Outer World. Now you’ve reclaimed the Blessed Land, henceforth it’s also yours to use, becoming your cultivation venue. But the key…”
Luo Chen didn’t wait for the other to finish and took out the Elixir Saint Token proactively.
The Divine Consciousness left on it had long since been exhausted.
Whether it was the Pill Technique “Refining Heaven Machine” or Chu Yan’s insights into the Dao of Alchemy, all these illusions dissipated into nothingness.
Seeing Luo Chen’s understanding and discernment, the three ancestors said no more.
Moreover, this expressed Luo Chen’s attitude.
Handing someone the key to your future cultivation venue openly, what greater honesty is there?
The token first fell into Yu Ming Ancestor’s hands.
He played with it for a while, then nodded.
Due to this token, they naturally could feel the existence of the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land through Yanfu Mountain.
As for the herbs inside, they would have someone go over and tally them later.
As of now, they’d already inspected Luo Chen’s side.
“You may leave now!”
Luo Chen sighed in relief and respectfully took his leave.
Until departing Tianming Palace, Luo Chen realized his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
This was quite inconceivable for someone accomplished in Body Refinement.
Which showed how immense the pressure was facing those three Great Powers.
He walked down the steps slowly, thinking back on his responses earlier, assuring himself there were no issues.
Previously, he was most concerned about the matter of pill refinement for the Demon Clan, which he had said frankly, and the others had not minded at all.
This was the influence brought by his status as a Grandmaster of Alchemy Dao.
Others wouldn’t care about what you did before, only what you can do for them in the future.
If he were still at the ordinary Golden Core Realm, at that somewhat average master’s level, the Dark Abyss Sect wouldn’t care, and life and death would just be a matter of a sentence.
Such existences are simply too many in the Divine Transformation Holy Land.
Halfway down, Luo Chen was surprised to see Tan Cheng hurrying up.
The two passed by each other and had no chance to say anything, as Tan Cheng merely nodded slightly and continued upwards.
…
Inside Tianming Palace.
After Luo Chen departed, there was a moment of silence.
Ancestor Tianyuan broke the silence and asked, “Why didn’t we unlock Heavenly Birth Water for Luo Chen?”
Heize Ancestor retorted, “Didn’t you guys also refrain from giving him Li Yuan Pill’s Pill Formula?”
Li Yuan Pill was the main elixir they three used for cultivation. Since Chu Yan departed years ago, no one in the Dark Abyss Sect could refine it.
Mr. Xuan Yan occasionally succeeded once or twice, but it was just accidental; he couldn’t stabilize the pill formation and would instead consume a lot of precious herbs.
After several hundred years, the Li Yuan Pills left by Chu Yan had long since been exhausted.
Originally, they relied on Luo Chen, but during the first meeting, they hadn’t mentioned this matter.
“It’s about life and death; how could we dare be rash!” Ancestor Tianyuan sighed, looking at their current Dark Abyss Sect Master, Brother Yu Ming. “What does Brother think?”
Yu Ming Ancestor took out the token again and squinted his eyes, “He didn’t tell lies, but the truth might not be fully disclosed.”
Heize Ancestor snorted lightly, “Though he disguised it well, for a dignified Nascent Soul True Master to behave so pathetically—his acting was too clumsy.”
Sometimes, acting too convincingly becomes unreal.
Yu Ming Ancestor nodded, “No matter; the person is here, the Blessed Land is open, and leaving everything under our watchful eyes, the truth will reveal itself over time. Brother, here’s the key; isn’t there something of yours inside?”
Heize Ancestor received the token, indeed having some herbs grown inside.
It was entrusted to Chu Yan for cultivation years ago, and now, after several hundred years, the time for maturity was due.
Afterwards, Yu Ming Ancestor turned his attention to the pond before them.
Earlier, when Luo Chen unleashed the Prosperity and Decline True Fire, for some reason, this pond became agitated.
Did it feel the outburst of powerful external forces wishing to break through?
The remaining two also refocused their attention.
“Just two or three years until success; no mistakes must occur during this period.”
“I realized something was wrong just now, and immediately had Luo Chen retract the Fifth-Order Divine Fire. At this point, there’s no room for error; otherwise, not only would previous efforts be wasted, but Qinghe Immortal breaking free would cause major backlash to us three.”
During their conversation, Tan Cheng requested an audience.
…
Descending the long stairs, Luo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Things afterward would be much simpler.
He actually has a very tolerant personality; as long as he can survive and is provided certain respect, many details can be overlooked.
At least, initially, the three ancestors gave him enough respect in front of others.
Giving him status and rewards.
Even if they would later ask him to refine some elixirs, he wouldn’t mind.
Now it’s better to return to the Alchemy Saint Hall; it’s more comfortable there.
Though in the back of his mind, thoughts of the previously agitated Black Pond due to him kept resurfacing.
“What exactly is inside?”
Just as Luo Chen was about to leave Yanfu Mountain, a voice transmission suddenly came forth…
