Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2709 - 999: Part 3

In a way, she embodies the will of the Supreme Elder as well.

Rumors even swirl that she might ascend to become the Supreme Elder’s third Dao Companion Cultivator!

With her voicing support for the Sect Master’s choice, the rest cast aside their doubts.

"I second this!"

"I second this!"

At last, Gu Caiyi nodded thoughtfully in approval of Li Yingzhang’s decision.

All eyes turned unanimously to the aged yet elegantly composed elder.

Ling Fengzi noticed and could only offer a bitter smile.

"Very well, then I have no objections."

Li Yingzhang let out a relieved breath. "Next, let’s talk about the support team’s makeup! I suggest two elders head it, bringing every disciple in the sect at Golden Core or above."

Yet Cang Long, who had backed Li Yingzhang strongly before, shook her head now.

"Golden Core cultivators are powerful, sure, but on Yanfu Mountain, they’re mere ants. In my view, only Late Golden Core battle power can truly tip the scales. Plus, Elder Min Longyu in Early Golden Core can join via his Array support to boost us fully. And if we lose, the Luo Tian Sect still has reserves left."

Having led a sect in the past, her strategic insight matched Li Yingzhang’s own.

Confronted by her idea, Li Yingzhang wavered. "This..."

Ling Fengzi agreed with a nod. "Elder Cang Long speaks true—you can’t grasp Nascent Soul might without reaching that realm. Regular Golden Core Cultivators mean nothing in a Nascent Soul clash. Even Late Golden Core barely makes a dent."

Since both Nascent Soul Elders had weighed in, no one else raised a fuss.

Li Yingzhang knew the sect’s roster inside out and promptly named the support members.

"Min Longyu, Elder Tianxuan, Jueqing Fairy, Ye Suifeng..."

Except for Min Longyu, the others listed were all peak Late Golden Core powerhouses presently in the Luo Tian Sect.

Ye Suifeng, that prodigy under Ling Fengzi, had been nurtured by Piaomiao Peak lately and was once a top true disciple of the Piaomiao Sect.

Still, as he finished listing, Li Yingzhang appeared reluctant.

But the person in question showed no such reluctance.

Beneath the crowd’s stares, Gu Caiyi rose with bold assurance.

"The sect’s kindness and my husband’s boons let me break into Late Golden Core three years back. It’s high time I repay the sect!"

"But..."

"No buts!"

Cang Long eyed the radiant and steady woman, inwardly admiring her; Luo Chen sure picked well!

This Dao Companion Cultivator, who rose from nothing alongside him, lacked top-tier talent and harbored some jealousy, but on big matters, she proved selfless.

Her bold stand inspired the rest, silencing any protests.

"Alright, assemble the team and set off at once!" Li Yingzhang sighed, issuing the ultimate command.

Still, he couldn’t quell the anxiety churning in his chest over this mission.

Aiding Wang Yuan and Bai Meiling came second; seizing the Ming Water Spring Eye was the real prize.

But the Luo Tian Sect’s rushed forces looked feeble against the Nether Abyss’s thousand-year hoard.

"They’ve left me way too little time!"

"If I’d nurtured a handful more Late Golden Core Great Cultivators, things wouldn’t feel this tight now."

While sighing, his eyes darted between Ling Fengzi and Cang Long until he resolved himself.

"Elder Cang Long, would you step aside with me briefly?"

Moments later.

In the rear hall, Cang Long Fairy gazed in astonishment at what Li Yingzhang revealed.

"This!"

"I’ve heard you share ties with the Luo Yun Sect—have you studied the Puppet Technique?"

Cang Long Fairy drew a sharp breath; she never imagined a Luo Tian Sect, founded under five centuries ago, hid such depths.

She reached out, accepting the hefty Storage Bag, and gave a resolute nod.

"I’ll put this to excellent use!"
