Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

“Then don’t blame me if I divert trouble towards you.”

“But there’s one thing, Young Master Huo, you need to pay attention to.”

“Hm?” Huo Hu looked puzzled.

Wang Haichao spoke with assurance, “The three of them will definitely stick together at the beginning of the battle. Therefore…”

“Don’t worry about that, our side will only have more Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, not less.” Huo Hu was overflowing with confidence, a gleam of wisdom shining in his eyes, “I’m not of the foolish kind. What we are planning is not exactly honorable, so naturally we will choose to outnumber them.”

“Also, there is another person in the Luo Tian Creed, named Wang Yuan. He follows the path of Body Refinement, and his combat power is impressive. He can go toe-to-toe with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and not fall behind, at least for a short while.”

Wang Yuan?

Body Refinement?

He asked curiously, “Second Realm of Body Refinement?”

“Yes!”

“Has he reached the Foundation Establishment stage?”

“No. He also attended the auction. As far as you could see, he was only at the stage of Qi Refinement Stage Finalization.”

“Huh… Qi Refinement.”

Huo Quan snorted with ridicule, then waved his hand dismissively.

“Don’t worry, leave this one to me!”

Um…

Wang Haichao hesitated for a moment.

You really are a wise individual!

You aren’t choosing to confront Nangong Jin, who has a Defense Magic Item, nor the deeply-rooted Li Family. Even Luo Chen, who has just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, you don’t want to have anything to do with.

You singled out Wang Yuan.

The case of choosing the easy over the difficult.

And yet, you speak in such a grand manner, as if bearing a heavy responsibility on your shoulders.

He said helplessly, “But according to this, the other side has four Foundation Establishment powerhouses. Where are we going to get so many from… Unless you intend to invite Elder Huo Quan?”

“What are you thinking about?” Huo Quan gave him a sideways glance, “My Grandfather has gone into Closed-Door Cultivation to attempt the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, he even left the auction to me. How could I ask him to get involved?”

“Moreover, this matter isn’t exactly honorable, so we must not let him know.”

So, you are aware it’s not exactly honorable!

Wang Haichao took a deep breath and asked, “Who are our allies here, so that I can prepare a battle plan?”

“You, me, and Friend Tu Shan.”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands.

A person appeared from outside the hall.

His body was thin, his face was waxy yellow, he didn’t look like a typical Foundation Establishment True Cultivator at all.

Instead, he bore the resemblance of a sickly ghost.

“I want the Cleanse Origin Pill Formula from Dan Chenzi!”

As soon as he entered the hall, he decided on his war loot.

Wang Haichao raised an eyebrow at Huo Hu, who nodded in agreement.

A grand secret technique such as the Cleanse Origin Pill Formula cannot be duplicated carelessly to prevent a massive leak.

Each jade slip needs to be carefully inspected with Spirit Consciousness.

Unless it is completely mastered, even if one tried to copy from memory, crucial parts will likely be left out.

Otherwise, high-level Cultivation Techniques would have flooded this world.

The auction organizer would be able to sell multiple copies of the same technique.

The cultivators who purchased them would be at a significant disadvantage.

Therefore, most secret techniques of the Second Order and above are typically stored in jade slips.

Without expending considerable effort and time, it would be very hard to produce a duplicate.

Tu Shan couldn’t buy a copy from the Huo Family, so he had no choice but to target Dan Chenzi’s original “Cleanse Origin Pill Formula.”

Huo Hu had managed to win him over precisely with this promise.

Since Huo Hu had already agreed, Wang Haichao didn’t object.

However, he still candidly said, “The detoxification secret technique can be given to you, but the rest of the items on Dan Chenzi must all belong to me!”

Tu Shan frowned, slightly unwilling.

Dan Chenzi was a Second Order Pill Refiner, his wealth was undoubtedly substantial.

This was evident from his extravagant spending at the auction.

Although his goal was the detoxification secret technique, he hadn’t planned on ignoring the other items.

Wang Haichao’s face grew serious, “To remain in the Taishan District, I’ve paid a heavy price, and need those items to make it up.”

Tu Shan was still not satisfied and looked at Huo Hu.

Huo Hu chuckled, “Aren’t there two more fat prey, the Li Family and the Nangong Family? You guys are really shortsighted.”

Wang Haichao and Tu Shan were both stunned.

Then it dawned on them. Although Dan Chenzi was a Second Order Pill Refiner, his cultivation years were short after all.

When it came to wealth, how could he compare with the deeply-rooted Immortal Cultivation Clans?

“I’ve made arrangements for the two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from these two families too.”

“When the time comes, we will undoubtedly take them all down!”

Tu Shan nodded heavily. In this case, there would be five Foundation Establishment powerhouses.

Against three Foundation Establishment and an insignificant Physical Cultivator, victory was assured.

Wang Haichao was also full of confidence.

He alone was at a higher realm than the three from Luo Chen’s side.

Huo Hu was a sect Foundation Establishment cultivator, possessing an Offense Magic Item, and his methods were exceptional.

Just based on the two of them, with the support of the Great Lake Gang, their chance of victory was already substantial.

If they added three Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, he didn’t know how they could ever lose.

The only thing that made him uncomfortable was probably Huo Hu’s last statement – “undoubtedly take them all down.”

He couldn’t help but feel that he had uttered the same sentence not too long ago.
