Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The cohesion of the Great Lake Gang is nowhere near that of our Luo Tian Creed.”

Indeed! The Great Lake Gang has weathered many storms, but most of them involved interference from external forces, with many of the gains being shared out.”

“His subordinates are largely dissatisfied.”

“And this man, though seemingly gentle and casual, is actually narrow-minded and intolerant of strong subordinates.”

“If we move from the rear forward, Broken Blade Xu Renke would have submitted to him long ago. However, on the Dao Debate Platform, he allowed Broken Blade to ruin Gao Tingyuan’s substitute puppet, and destroy his Dantian, making him unable to establish a foundation in his lifetime.”

This kind of thing can’t be hidden from others.”

At this point.

Luo Chen paused.

Looking at Sima Huiniang, he remarked with a sigh, “Why would you all follow me if I were to leave?”

Without a second thought, Sima Huiniang said, “Because you, Mr. Chairman, have never mistreated us, and by following you, we all have a bright future!” ’ Accepting the sincere praise without any modesty, Luo Chen nodded and asked again, “Suppose roles were reversed, would you faithfully follow Wang Haichao if he were to leave?”

“Um…”

When you re hesitant, that means you already have your answer.”

Luo Chen gave a faint smile and downed the cooled Spirit Tea in one drink.

“Wang Haichao has no blood ties, no enticing benefits, and no commanding respect.”

“What can he rely on if he wants to take enough people away?”

“Just the name ‘Foundation Establishment True Cultivator’? Haha, that title is not worth that much. A rogue cultivator thinks simply, they’ll just up and leave, find another faction to continue their cultivation.”

This was a revelation for Sima Huiniang.

Through Luo Chen’s guidance, the whole point became clear to her at once.

“So, he needs the title of ‘Alliance Master’!”

With certainty, Sima Huiniang said, “Only with the position of the Alliance Master of the Four-Family Alliance can he temporarily suppress the intentions of the rogue cultivators.”

“Moreover, in doing so, he can also eliminate the possibility of these rogue cultivators joining us.”

“Chairman, is that the case?”

Luo Chen nodded, indicating his approval.

Rogue cultivators without the backing of a sect are like this.

Even as a True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, life wouldn’t be much easier.

Wang Haichao relies on the Great Lake Gang; even if he can’t afford good things like magic tools in a short time, at least the resources needed for cultivation will not be lacking.

If he didn’t have the Great Lake Gang to command,

he would be without any skills, where would he earn Spirit Stones?

Would he serve small sects and Immortal Cultivation Clans that are down on their luck?

Don’t kid yourself.

In the current Eastern Wilderness Immortal World, the going rate for a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator is only around two to three thousand Spirit Stones a month.

After deducting the monthly cultivation needs, how many Spirit Stones can be saved?

Are you saying to live frugally for a few years, stop cultivating, save money to buy a magic tool? Isn’t that throwing the baby out with the bathwater?

If you don’t reach the Core Formation stage and your lifespan ends, the treasures in your hand will eventually become relics of opportunity for future exploration.

Moreover, there aren’t many clans that can offer this rate.

Only Luo Chen, who is immensely wealthy!

Moreover, it was out of respect for Wang Yuan being his brother that he generously offered such a package.

Wang Haichao can’t do without the support of the Great Lake Gang.

What about Luo Chen himself?

He isn’t completely reliant on the Luo Tian Creed.

In another place, with the status of a Pill Refiner, he could absolutely make a comeback.

The reason he made up his mind to take the Luo Tian Creed with him was firstly, because it included many of his friends.

Secondly, everyone trusts him as well.

The third reason is that he really values the people in the Pill Hall, they are very handy to have around.

Furthermore, if they were to venture out,

having a large number of people to guard, would give the necessary assurance of safety.

“If we could settle down in the Taishan District, that would undoubtedly be the best.”

“It’s far enough from the Great River District that the crisis of the Ghost King won’t pose a threat, and the place isn’t too unfamiliar either.”

“If we can’t….”

Luo Chen’s gaze was deep, and he had already started thinking about a backup plan.

He was never the type of person to put all eggs in one basket.

Even when he was under the control of Mi Shuhua, he had always been ready to take off at any moment.

It just never happened.

He had wanted to leave many times before but for various reasons, it never happened.

This time, he had to leave by his own will.

“You can go back to your tasks now!”

We’ll set off two months from now. Make sure everything is taken care of!”

Sima Huiniang bowed in acknowledgment.

“I will follow the chairman’s orders!”

A month later.

Deep into the night.

In the Green Reed House, Bai Meiling was shivering in a corner, not daring to step any closer to Luo Chen.

What she feared was not Luo Chen.

But the flag spread out in Luo Chen’s hand.

The Soul-Refining Flag!

Luo Chen looked at the unrolled flag with a look of surprise and uncertainty. Just this evening, as he was refining pills, the Soul-Refining Flag started to change.

A gust of chaotic energy was spreading uncontrollably from within it.

It even almost caused his pill refinement to fail.

He rushed back hurriedly, opened the flag, and found that the dozens of ghost soldiers captured in the Soul-Refining Flag were all gone.

Inside the entire flag, only two figures remained.

One was Duan Qiankun, and the other was Luo Tianhong.

The residual souls of these two figures had devoured the dozens of ghost soldiers, their bodies becoming much more solid than before.

The commotion in the evening was caused by their fight.

“I only knew that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, but I didn’t expect that even a single magic tool can’t house two Ghost Generals.”

The remnant soul of Duan Qiankun was extracted by Luo Chen from Wang Yuan when he returned to the Xiao Huan Mountain.
