Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

To improve their treatment, cultivators either need to possess outstanding skills or undertake dangerous combat missions.

Folks like those in the Pill Hall, too old or sick to be of use, might not improve their situation even if they begged to.

But Luo Chen is a grand figure. He doesn’t just treat people with kindness, he also often seeks benefits for them.

He had already extended a few small courtesies to a couple of cultivators in the past.

This time, he even went so far as to claim that he’d improve the conditions for everyone.

The improvement may not be significant, just a spirit stone or two, and a few kilos of spirit rice per month.

But this little extra, when accumulated, amounts to something substantial. Following a hall master like this one ensures sweet days ahead!

Luo Chen didn’t care about these thoughts. After all, improving their conditions didn’t mean he had to spend his own spirit stones. The Broken Mountain Gang was footing the bill!

On the contrary, the old cultivators, the female cultivators, if treated better, could put more effort into pill refinement.

In this way, he could relax more as well.

He couldn’t continue to cultivate in the Pill Hall today, staying there too long would raise suspicions.

After all, the Inner City is the true cultivation ground.

Moreover, he had things to do when he returned to the city. He was running out of calming incense, he had to buy some more.

It was also time to settle monthly accounts with Yuan Xiaoyue. He had to provide her with next month’s supplies.

As he soared through the sky using the Wind Riding Technique with his two bodyguards, they chatted and laughed.

“Did you hear about the fight between cultivators in the Outer City five days ago? It set fire to a swath of houses.”

“Yeah, no one died, but several houses were burnt. It was a big deal.”

Liu Qiang loved gossip and enjoyed sharing these stories with Luo Chen.

According to him, murders and deaths were small matters, but arson was a serious offense, hitting the bottom line of the Yu Ding Sword Cultivator.

He took perverse pleasure in saying, “The Inner City Law Enforcement Team was summoned. After a day of search, two culprits were captured. Their punishment was severe: compensation for the losses and rebuilding the houses. But that’s not all, they were held at the Red Pillar for half a month.”

“In the end, they had to step onto the Dao Debate Platform. The two had to fight in front of a large crowd. The winner was set free, while the loser had to stay an additional half month!”

Luo Chen found it entertaining and clapped as the story reached its climax.

The culprits who engaged in such arson deserved to be caught and put through hard labor!

Besides reforming them, televise their fight would also entertain the public, contributing to society!

“What about that Xuan Yihui group? I heard they had another conflict with Luo Wudi’s forces?”

Liu Qiang curled his lips in contempt, “It’s a trivial matter. They ran into a First Order Demon Beast in the mountains, and wanted to snatch its kill from Luo Wudi.”

“So, what happened next?”

“Both sides sent three people out for a match. Xuan Yihui’s people won two games and earned the hunting rights. But after they killed the demon beast, Luo Wudi took it upon himself…”

Luo Chen’s eyes sparkled, “Did he wipe them out?”

“No. He bought the body of the demon beast from them, handed it over to the Medicine Hall and Beast Hall, and sold it at a high price later.”

“Teh!”

Everyone says Luo Wudi, the Downhill Tiger, is brave and fearsome.

Turns out he’s just crafty.

Luo Chen snorted, his brows suddenly frowning, his gaze fell on a slightly deep grove of trees below.

Liu Qiang and Zhou Yuanli were startled, their expressions changing drastically.

Without the slightest hesitation, both acted simultaneously.

A large light shield spread out wildly.

A ray of black light, abruptly pierced the sky.

In the small grove, a black-robed cultivator stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.

“An Ascendant Grade Defense Magic Tool, this might be a bit difficult to handle..”
