Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2567 - 944: Born Noble—Famed Before Arrival (Part 2)

Now, through persistent tweaks to the finer points he once overlooked, he has successfully nurtured a trace of that famed "nobility."

While the cultivation technique itself lacks this so-called nobility, the Divine Bird Phoenix embodies it fully!

This unique cultivation method, crafted specifically for the Phoenix Clan, naturally infuses that divine sense of nobility.

Luo Chen, always prioritizing real-world benefits, had dismissed it earlier, yet with his perfected technique in place, he is now steadily fostering his personal brand of "nobility."

…

Nine Mist Immortal City!

In the Southern regions, its fame spreads far and wide, though cultivators from the other four continents in the Mountain Sea Realm remain largely unaware of it.

The reason lies in its shallow history, built merely a few centuries ago.

"This place serves as the entry point to Mi Realm Mountain, and True Master Songyang poured vast resources into founding this Immortal City right at the gateway after discovering the path inside."

"Ever since the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance rose to prominence, Nine Mist Immortal City has grown even more bustling."

"As for the name Nine Mist, Brother Qi, you'll grasp it instantly upon seeing!"

Stowing the Flying Boat away, the pair shifted into Glints, speeding ahead swiftly.

Soon enough, the grand silhouette of an enormous city emerged before Luo Chen's eyes.

One look was all it took for Luo Chen to etch the image of this Immortal City into his memory.

Perched high amid the Nine Heavens and shrouded in mists, it appears elusive and dreamlike.

It might lack the raw dominance of Lingtian Pass or the ancient solidity of Upper Nether Immortal City.

Still, its mystical, transcendent allure—like a sacred realm of immortals—leaves an indelible mark on every beholder.

"What an awe-inspiring Immortal City!" Luo Chen exclaimed.

Master Ming Lei chuckled, "I felt exactly that on my first glimpse of Nine Mist Immortal City. Few spots across the expansive Southern lands can rival its splendor. It's tough to picture that such a ghostly ethereal haven was built by True Master Songyang himself."

True Master Songyang!

A celebrated Great Cultivator in the Southern Border Cultivation World for countless years.

He founded the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance with his own hands.

The mere mention of the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance hints at the bold flair of this Great Cultivator.

One would expect a creation under such a mighty figure to echo the sturdy vibe of Lingtian Pass.

However, the current Nine Mist Immortal City strays far from the mold of his typical endeavors.

Of course, dwelling on such thoughts now serves no purpose, as the duo sliced through the clouds openly, charging toward Nine Mist Immortal City.

Their potent Glints radiated an intense presence.

Nine Mist Immortal City already floated at lofty heights, forcing Lower Order Cultivators to ascend from the base to gain entry.

As a result, Glints darted about outside like streams in a celestial domain.

Two mighty Glints soaring above drew immediate gazes from below.

"Nascent Soul True Masters!"

"Two more Nascent Soul Old Monsters have shown up!"

"Is the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance gearing up for a massive move, like striking the Holy Land?"

"With this broad call for elite talents from the Southern lands, who'd buy that there's no scheme at play?"

"I just hope my clan elder steers clear; that Holy Land is way beyond what we can challenge."

"Hah, the Gate of Life and Death has been cooped up like a frightened turtle for ages, not even barking about the halted tributes they once demanded. They must be crumbling from within already. Why fear them!"

…

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The two Glints touched down near the towering city gates.

Once grounded, Luo Chen and Master Ming Lei shared a glance, both wearing expressions of astonishment.

Their Divine Consciousness had picked up the murmurs and chatter from those Lower Order Cultivators below.

Only then did the weight of their journey's end and the brewing storm become clear to them.

"Is this for real?" Luo Chen inquired.

Master Ming Lei looked puzzled, "Wind and Thunder Gorge is so isolated; I'm clueless about these shifts in the Southern lands."

Luo Chen drew in a sharp breath, dropped the topic, and advanced toward the city.

Yet the place he approached felt less like an Immortal City and more like a swirling maelstrom.

Much like Lingtian Pass in those old days!

But Luo Chen pressed on without flinching; be it the image he carefully projected or his formidable power, both fueled his boldness to dive into any turmoil.

Witnessing his steadfast attitude, Master Ming Lei paused briefly before trailing after him.

Inside the city, Master Ming Lei reflexively spread out his Divine Consciousness.

In a flash, he inhaled sharply and yanked it back.

"Sss!"

"So many peers packed into this city?"

As he spoke, his eyes flicked toward Luo Chen involuntarily.

He noticed the other man merely arching a brow, staying utterly composed.

"Does he not sense those Nascent Soul True Masters?"

Physical Cultivators boast robust bodies but frail Divine Souls.

This could explain Luo Chen's steady demeanor.

Yet Luo Chen's following words shattered that notion.

"Seven!"

"Seven Nascent Soul True Masters dwell here, mostly in the Early Nascent Soul Stage, with just two reaching the Middle Stage."

With that, Luo Chen halted in place.

Master Ming Lei stood frozen, shocked not just that the man detected them, but that he pinpointed the exact count of Nascent Soul cultivators. Was his Divine Soul mightier than mine?

Impossible!

In his shock, a figure from the thronged street up ahead hurried over, spotting Luo Chen and Master Ming Lei right away without pause.

Whew...

Arriving like a gust, the youth stopped in front of Luo Chen and Master Ming Lei, bowing deeply.

"Junior Hu Jin, sent by my master Zheng Guan Daoist, to welcome you two seniors."

Hearing Zheng Guan Daoist's name, Master Ming Lei caught on at once.

He sent a transmission to Luo Chen, "He's the City Lord of Nine Mist Immortal City and hosted that past cultivator exchange gathering. His level sits at Middle Stage Nascent Soul, probably one of the two you sensed before."

Then, he nodded at the Golden Core Period Hu Jin, "Young friend, I'm Ming Lei. I've crossed paths with your honorable master once."

Hu Jin grinned, "My master speaks of you often, hailing you as a rare prodigy in the Southern lands who broke into Nascent Soul as a Rogue Cultivator. He cites your path to spur on us lesser juniors."

Master Ming Lei's gaze brightened, "Oh? That's intriguing. I'm flattered that Friend Zheng employs my story as an uplifting tale for his students."

After a bit of courteous talk, Hu Jin turned to Luo Chen.

"And this senior is..."

"Show us the way!"

Luo Chen stated curtly, showing no desire to reveal his identity to a junior.

This left Hu Jin's face stiffening, aware that his tie to a Nascent Soul master wouldn't impress much here.

This fellow's a tough nut!

Still, no bitterness stirred in him; he saw the attitude as innate to the man, not forced.

Such inherent nobility suits him perfectly!

"Kindly follow me, seniors!"

…

At the same time, within a grand palace.

An elderly white-bearded daoist clutching a horsetail whisk waited at the doorway to receive them.

Those who knew him puzzled over his unusual courtesy.

After all, this white-bearded daoist led a major local faction, and even after aligning with the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance, his standing remained elevated.

The vital Nine Mist Immortal City, key to Mi Realm Mountain, had been placed under his watch, proving his fame and prowess earned respect from the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance's top figures.

Especially the other Nascent Soul powerhouse visiting the palace then, who scowled at the sight.

When I came, Zheng Guan didn't greet me with such fervor!

He was eager to spot the newcomers!

Shortly, three shapes appeared at the palace steps.

Zheng Guan Daoist, spotting them from distance, swung his horsetail whisk and boomed with laughter, "Is that Ba Xiu Qi Tian in person?"

Master Ming Lei blinked in surprise; Qi Tian hadn't shared his name, so how did the man recognize him so quickly?

Luo Chen smirked and replied directly, "That's me!"

Zheng Guan clasped his hands in greeting, "Enter, please!"

Luo Chen gave a quick nod in return and strode into the hall without delay.

Master Ming Lei gaped, the unfolding scene far from what he'd anticipated.

It felt like no formal intros had even happened!

The escort Hu Jin seemed startled too, but then, as if a memory clicked.

Gazing at Luo Chen's retreating form, a trace of reverence crept into his eyes.

Within the hall, the earlier-arrived Nascent Soul expert creased his brow instantly.

"Ba Xiu Qi Tian—could he be that one?"
