Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2727 - 1007: The Daoist Sect’s Great Enemy, All-Out Preparations for War
Previously on Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster...
Ti Hu Pill!
Developed by ancient Qi Refiners, this Fourth Order Pill boasts miraculous effects, allowing Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators to sense heavenly secrets and grasp the true essence of laws in advance.
It earns fame as a pseudo Fifth-Order Divine Pill!
For Luo Chen, a current Grandmaster of the Alchemy Dao, crafting such a Fourth Order Pill poses no real challenge.
All these years without success stem not from deliberate postponement, but from the pill formula's severe incompleteness.
Despite Deng Taiyue's tireless efforts in gathering scattered incomplete formulas, the highest completion rate achieved remains merely sixty to seventy percent.
Attempting to refine it in that condition guarantees total failure!
Luo Chen's entry into the Dark Abyss Sect marked a pivotal shift.
Once the Eastern Wasteland's only Divine Transformation Holy Land, the sect naturally paid close attention to this legendary pseudo Fifth-Order Divine Pill of antiquity.
Both Alchemy Saint Chu Yan and Mr. Xuan Yan devoted themselves to studying the Ti Hu Pill through amassed incomplete formulas.
Though they failed to produce it in the end, their deductions elevated the pill formula's completeness to roughly seventy to eighty percent.
This hard-earned research outcome ultimately landed in Luo Chen's possession!
It occurred during the Alchemy Saint Hall trial, when Mr. Xuan Yan passed it to Luo Chen prior to his death.
With Deng Taiyue now seeking his aid, Luo Chen found the perfect moment to address this.
Yet prior to proceeding, Luo Chen needed to clearly express one crucial point to Deng Taiyue.
"Brother Deng, I now possess strong confidence in refining the Ti Hu Pill."
Deng Taiyue's face lit up at these words.
"But!"
Upon hearing "but," Deng Taiyue's expression froze, "Brother Luo, speak freely. Whatever I can manage, I'll do without hesitation!"
Luo Chen spoke gravely, "A formidable foe awaits me ahead, linked directly to my Dao of God Transformation and Luotian's survival. Thus, every instant before then must fuel my cultivation and battle preparations. Concocting this pill for you would demand substantial time, and any minor lapse might spell disaster later. Do you grasp my predicament?"
Deng Taiyue stood stunned; he had seen Luo Chen's prowess firsthand.
His might stood unrivaled beneath the heavens!
Given that power, what rival could Luo Chen deem a "great enemy"?
He ventured, "Demon Emperor Qing Shuang?"
Luo Chen shook his head, "Folks claim Qing Shuang and I clash like water and fire, yet it's merely a passing rift."
Deng Taiyue probed further, "Eastern Wasteland Demon Clan?"
Luo Chen dismissed it with a wave, "The Demon Clan proves fickle, yet I've devised a solution; now I await the opportune moment."
"Then who..." Deng Taiyue puzzled over it. These were the sole threats that came to mind.
Luo Chen withheld nothing more and disclosed the looming foe outright.
"Tianyuan Daoist Sect!"
Deng Taiyue gaped in shock.
Not fully comprehending yet, he echoed instinctively, "Tianyuan Daoist Sect?"
"Yes!"
Luo Chen pivoted, striding leisurely across the vivid crimson Elixir Mountain.
Array formations channeled moonlight onto him, casting a dreamlike, ethereal glow.
"Personal grudges aside, confrontation with Tianyuan Daoist Sect looms inevitable. A massive clash will erupt then. Hence, I must bolster my strength and rally steadfast comrades. When that day arrives, will you stand with me?"
Deng Taiyue faltered, "But it's the Mountain Sea Realm's overlord, Tianyuan Daoist Sect!"
Luo Chen drew on Youquan's intel and spoke measuredly, "Tianyuan Daoist Sect ruled once, but Zhongzhou's fall has shattered it. Its lingering might falls short of your fears."
Deng Taiyue gulped, eyes brimming with dread, "And the Divine Transformation Great Power?"
Luo Chen replied pointedly, "How do you rate my power?"
"Below Divine Transformation, no one rivals you!" Deng Taiyue blurted out, then gazed wondrously at Luo Chen's silhouette, "You'll confront the Divine Transformation Great Power yourself? But..."
Luo Chen let out a chuckle laced with a sigh, "At present, I'm still no match for that Great Power. But grant me a hundred or two hundred years, and I'll have a one or two percent chance. On the Path of Longevity, even such a slim shot is worth battling for."
Deng Taiyue's lips parted, yet no words escaped him.
He couldn't grasp how Nascent Soul power could possibly rival the tremendous Great Divine Power of a Divine Transformation Cultivator.
Turning back with a serene smile, Luo Chen said, "Naturally, if events unfold smoothly, I might avoid clashing with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect's sole surviving Divine Transformation Great Power. I'm simply bracing for the worst scenario. If that fateful day arrives, would Brother Deng stand with me?"
Deng Taiyue wavered.
Right then, it was clear Luo Chen was "seeking a pledge," wielding the yet-to-be-perfected Ti Hu Pill to extract a vow of support.
Furthermore, the adversary loomed as an immense behemoth.
Any Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would reject outright without a second thought.
But Deng Taiyue genuinely wavered.
Faced with the Ti Hu Pill—attainable after centuries of grueling cultivation—and the irresistible lure of grasping laws' true essence, he plunged into a hesitation unlike any in his lifetime.
Luo Chen refrained from pressing, quietly awaiting his reply.
This was the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land, where arrival and departure hinged solely on his choice.
Should Deng Taiyue refuse, Luo Chen might spare his life, yet he wouldn't permit exit until all was settled.
Though soliciting such a favor felt somewhat cunning, for the sake of his impending Dao of God Transformation, Luo Chen had to amass every scrap of allied strength.
