Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

“Relying on the countless stone pillars of Gaoling Plains to set up the array is

quite a cunning move.”

“However, it also yielded new gains. If back then, I had…

just as he was engrossed, a voice transmission suddenly entered his ears.

His body shuddered, and he closed the book.

He rose.

Straightening his robe and his tall hat, he issued a Cleaning Technique.

After taking a deep breath, he walked out of the room.

He proceeded steadily, occasionally encountering cultivators of the Luo Tian

Creed.

Facing the odd gazes that held a hint of disdain, he appeared to be unaffected.

Everything, is all for The Great Dao Path, that s it!

Eventually, under the watchful eyes of dozens of queer gazes, he arrived at the room situated in the center of the flying boat.

With his hands hanging down, he bowed slightly.

“Junior Min Longyu has come to see Senior Dan Chenzi!”

After saying this, he showed utmost respect.

Not until the voice saying “Come in” emerged, did he push the door and enter.

The instant he entered, he couldn’t help but shudder.

A pair of profound eyes, as if looking down from Nine Heavens, inspected him clearly from inside out.

Even his Divine Soul was trembling uncontrollably.

He wanted to bow down and pay respects to the person in front of him.

He clenched his teeth, barely raised his head, and squeezed out a smile.

“Hm?”

Luo Chen let out a slight sound of surprise.

For this meeting, he had made a little preparation.

Not to mention putting in a lot of effort, using his Spirit Vision Technique

Finalization and his Mastery Level Divine Intimidation Technique, he could scare Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators into submission, making them fearful and timid.

If one was slightly faint-hearted, they might even collapse on the ground.

Unexpectedly!

Min Longyu managed to withstand his Divine Soul intimidation.

Although, it looked like he barely managed.

“This youngster has a solid Divine Soul foundation, I reckon it’s only slightly inferior to mine when I achieved Qi Refinement Stage Finalization.”

After expressing his thoughts, Luo Chen retracted his Foundation Establishment pressure.

“Huff…”

It seemed like after a wild storm, a rare period of clarity had arrived.

Min Longyu only felt that the suffocating pressure was gone.

He could finally breathe.

This Luo Chen had such a strong aura, even more so than Wang Haichao and

Zhou Qing.

He must be dealt with cautiously, there was no room for wishful thinking!

After swallowing his saliva, he respectfully closed the door, then stood beneath Luo Chen.

Silence.

Pervaded the room.

No words from above, no words dared to be spoken from below.

In the end, a leisurely voice carried over.

“From whence do you come, where are you headed?

Min Longyu took a deep breath, “From Tianlan, heading towards The Great Dao

Path.”

Luo Chen savored the words, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting.

His intention must lie in the latter half of the statement.

Once the topic was initiated, the following conversation would be a lot smoother.

Luo Chen asked the question he wanted to know the most.

“Why did you betray the Great Lake Gang and help the Luo Tian Creed instead?”

Min Longyu responded, “I am not one of the Great Lake Gang, there is no question of betrayal. And it’s not the Luo Tian Creed I’m helping, but you!” Before Luo Chen could accuse him of sophistry.

He honestly admitted, “I am not a person without roots. I was born into a needy Immortal Cultivation Clan in Tianlan Immortal City, the Min Family. By the time it was passed down to my generation, apart from numerous commoners, there was only I, a Qi Refinement Cultivator.”

“Feeling incapable of reviving the clan, but unwilling to give up the pursuit of the longevity in The Great Dao Path, with a few remaining old relationships, I followed Elder Zhou Qing of the Lianyun Business Union.”

“Due to some business matters, Elder Zhou brought me to The Great River District. To repay him, I have offered my help on the Dao Debate Platform.”

Hearing this, Luo Chen nodded.

Min Longyu’s first appearance was the battle on the Dao Debate Platform against Han Dang from the Broken Mountain Gang.

As the highest-level lower order cultivator at that time for the Broken Mountain Gang.

Han Dang, Heart Eating Tiger had a Qi Refinement Stage Finalization realm. However, he was cruelly strangled to death by Min Longyu using a strange array.

The scene was still as clear as ever in Luo Chen’s mind even after several years had passed.

“Later, two Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects had a falling out and the Lianyun Business Union got caught up in the middle. Elder Zhou urgently needed to return to Tianlan Immortal City, and he sought my opinion before leaving, but I chose to stay in The Great River District.”

That was reasonable.

For an ordinary Qi Refinement Stage Rogue Cultivator, struggling hopelessly in the competitive Tianlan Immortal City.

It would be better to seek a future in The Great River District, where resources were abundant.

Luo Chen curiously asked, “Why did you decide to rely on Wang Haichao?” “Because…he promised to find me a Foundation Establishment Pill!

Bringing up this matter, Min Longyu was still furious.

“It was more like a collaboration, than relying on him. I provided him with array techniques for his aid and in return, he searched for a Foundation Establishment Pill for me.”

“However, he only made grandiose promises while opportunities slipped through his fingers, as he didn’t take full efforts in obtaining it for me.”

Luo Chen was suspicious.

“But I recall in the battle of Gaoling Plains, he publicly stated in front of everyone. If you wholeheartedly murdered cultivators of Luo Tian Creed, he guaranteed that Huo Hu would reward you with a Foundation Establishment Pill?”

Min Longyu laughed bitterly.

“That was merely another rosy promise!”

“Huo Hu indeed has the means to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill from within the Flame Alliance.”

“But now, he holds no position in the Flame Alliance, and he also has no merits, if he wanted to exchange a Foundation Establishment Pill, it would take at least a decade.”

“And I, already in my fifties, may not be able to wait for that long.

Luo Chen nodded.

The best age for cultivators to establish their foundation is before sixty. After turning sixty, due to the weakening of life energy, the Divine Soul gradually loses its vivacity for ascension.

Establishing a foundation at this time would have slim chances of success. Even if they narrowly succeeded by a fluke, the remaining time would be insufficient to sustain the step to a higher realm.

After Min Longyu¹ s bitter laugh, there was a trace of bitterness.

“Besides, the Huo Family is not an elite Immortal Cultivation Clan, and there is no lack of cultivators within the clan who need a Foundation Establishment

Pill.”

“If that day really comes, Huo Hu, who is narrow-minded and forgets his morals at the sight of profit,”

“It wouldn’t be my turn!”

The promise, was given by Wang Haichao.

What did it have to do with Huo Hu?

Everyone understood the underlying truth, they weren’t fools and knew exactly what was going on.

Min Longyu was no fool either, he would no longer be deceived.

“So, you decided to switch allegiance to me?

Luo Chen looked at him, all smiles.

“How did you make sure that I wouldn’t turn against you, mercilessly killing you to vent my anger after things are settled?”
