Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2728 - 1007: Daoist Sect’s Great Enemy, All-Out Preparations (Part 2)

Now serving as the master of Cangwu Mountain's Transmitting Truth Hall, he commands a vast array of elite Demon Clan powerhouses.

Should he secure aid from peak Eastern Wasteland Human Clan experts as well, they could even challenge the mighty Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

Deng Taiyue currently falls short of true top-tier status.

However, once the Ti Hu Pill is refined for him, leveraging his profound insight, he will undoubtedly break through Mid Nascent Soul to reach Late Stage Nascent Soul as a Great Cultivator.

No such formidable battle prowess can be overlooked!

Moments later, Deng Taiyue uttered a wry chuckle.

"Luo Chen, why must you be so forthright? I vowed to assist you ages ago—you could've claimed my help after the Ti Hu Pill. This bluntness leaves me awkward."

Luo Chen offered only a smile, staying silent.

True loyalty can't be coerced through demands.

Should reluctance arise later, it would spell peril for him.

Revealing the risks upfront lets the other weigh options and prepare thoroughly.

Gazing quietly at the hazy moon overhead, he wondered when he might stand openly on solid ground, beholding a radiant full moon.

A soft night breeze whispered by, and at last, Deng Taiyue reached his verdict.

"I shall act!"

"Should Friend provide the Ti Hu Pill, upon grasping the Law’s True Intent, I pledge my full might to aid you once. Breach this vow, and let Heavenly Thunder smite me, Heart Demons plague me, barring my path on the Great Dao!"

Conditions aside, a solemn Dao Oath now binds him.

This depth of commitment merits high praise!

Luo Chen exhaled a heavy breath, pivoted, and clasped the other's hands warmly:

"In that case, might you handle two small favors for me right away!"

Deng Taiyue froze briefly, then forced a bitter grin: "Luo Chen, you truly seize every chance, forever wanting more!"

Luo Chen roared with laughter, "Allies like us naturally support one another."

Deng Taiyue shook his head with a wry smile, but offered no refusal.

...

On the following day, after depositing every herb gathered across years, Deng Taiyue departed the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

As he exited, he claimed every Nascent Soul Formation Pill hoarded by Luo Tian Sect through the ages!

Ten pills in all—most crafted personally by Luo Chen in his nascent days, with a few scavenged by Luo Tian Sect from the nearby Dark Abyss Sect ruins.

Though potency might differ, each stands as a supreme aid for forging the Nascent Soul.

Soon, he'll leverage these Nascent Soul Formation Pills to host a grand auction across the Eastern Wasteland, while amassing the utmost Sky Qi possible for Luo Chen.

These mark the duo of missions Luo Chen entrusted to him.

Luo Chen himself remained busy; that same day, he convened Luo Tian Sect's cultivators sequentially atop Elixir Mountain.

The initial summon startled many—it was Sang Jinghe, the loyal follower who trailed Luo Chen from North Sea to Eastern Wasteland!

Luo Chen passed all Golden Dragon Lion Source Blood harvested from the Yin Yang Residual Realm into his care.

The intent: task Sang Jinghe with testing a longstanding theory—nurturing the Demonheart Tree using Wild Beast Source Blood.

Success in fruiting could propel Luo Chen's Body Refinement Stage to rapid, explosive heights.

Contingent on the ancient Tai Sui not having misled him then.

Next came Bai Meiling.

To her, Luo Chen delivered the vacant Soul-Refining Flag.

All prior souls had been relocated by Luo Chen to a separate Soul Nurturing Banner.

His directive to Bai Meiling: wield the Soul-Refining Flag, mount the Xuan Turtle, and scour the Nether Abyss clean.

Gather every ghost creature below Fourth Order Ghost Emperor in her path.

Quantity paramount—the more amassed, the better; a million would be perfection.

The Yuan Mo Sect's Soul-Refining Flag boasts a full evolution path.

Progressing from basic Ten Thousand Soul Banner, to Hundred Thousand Souls Banner, up to the Million Soul-Consuming Banner.

These align with Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transformation stages.

Legends whisper of higher tiers beyond Evil Soul Banner: Soul Banner and Honored Soul Banner for Refining Void's Integration Realm.

Yet in this Mountain Sea Realm, such levels remain unattainable.

Save if Luo Chen ensnares the Refining Void Stage Great Desolate atop Soulbreak Cliff.

"Your soul body can freely move in the Nether Abyss. With the Xuan Turtle’s assistance, you can come and go freely. Leave with Deng Taiyue, and when returning, bring back the two Friends I’ve left outside."

Bai Meiling showed no resistance and swiftly complied, departing alongside Deng Taiyue.

Next came the moment for the third individual Luo Chen had summoned—Li Yingzhang.

Luo Chen’s sole demand for him was:

Expend all resources without restraint to boost the power of Luo Tian Sect cultivators.

Any elixir requirements should be voiced promptly, as he would craft them all prior to starting closed-door cultivation.

Li Yingzhang wasn’t naive and sensed that amid this critical tension, a huge event loomed.

Yet with Luo Chen silent on details, he held back his questions.

Right before departing, Li Yingzhang inquired curiously, "Where is Black King? With his help in enhancing the Spirit Qi of the Spirit Land, it could be twice as effective with half the effort!"

Luo Chen merely flicked his hand in reply, stating that Black King wouldn’t return anytime soon.

Once Li Yingzhang departed, Dan Dust Hall atop Elixir Mountain plunged into momentary quiet.

"Black King?"

Luo Chen drummed his fingers on the chair’s armrest, confusion etching his features.

To his senses, Black King lived on.

However, the beast lay incredibly far away, lacking even a clear bearing.

"Where the heck has that idiot wandered off to?"

Aware Black King survived, Luo Chen skipped searching for him. The pressing task was full-scale war preparations.

Retrieving his shattered Life Soul was a scheme Luo Chen had outlined back at Cangwu Mountain.

Should all proceed flawlessly, conflict with Tianyuan Daoist Sect might be avoided.

But failure could force a showdown with the once-dominant overlord of the Mountain Sea Realm!

He prayed it wouldn’t reach that point.

Still, if unavoidable, Luo Chen welcomed the clash against Liancheng Ancestor, survivor of the Soulbreak Cliff battle!

Footsteps echoed beyond the hall, thick and plentiful, exceeding a hundred!

Familiar figures soon entered Luo Chen’s view.

"Disciple Qu Lingjun leads all Third Order and Second Order Pill Refiners of Tai Dan Court to pay respects to Master!"

Qu Lingjun dropped to his knees at once, brimming with deepest reverence.

Over a hundred cultivators behind him knelt too, their faces radiating not just respect but blazing fervor.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"

Beholding Luo Tian Sect’s Tai Dan Court Pill Refiners, a pleased grin spread across Luo Chen’s countenance.

Dean Qu Lingjun, Third Order Pill Refiner!

Vice Dean Qi Yi, plus three Tai Dan Court elders, all Golden Core cultivators and Third Order Pill Refiners.

The remaining disciples, over a hundred strong, stood at Foundation Establishment, yet wielded Second Order Pill Refinement prowess.

This formed Luo Tian Sect’s core strength!

It marked the finest academy among Luo Tian Sect’s many factions.

They carried forward Luo Chen’s signature Pill Refinement Daoist Lineage.

Qu Lingjun and Qi Yi had received his direct guidance.

Though short one Third Order Pill Refiner versus Qingdan Valley’s past lineup, these five Third Order masters’ skills dwarfed that valley’s elders.

Plus, Second Order Pill Refiners outnumbered Qingdan Valley’s mere thirty-plus by far.

Aided by these Pill Refiners, deducing the Ti Hu Pill would surge in speed.

The Ti Hu Pill’s partial formula neared perfection already.

Drawing from Alchemy Saint Chu Yan and Mr. Xuan Yan’s examples,

Luo Chen dimly sensed a core link between the Tianji Pill from Chu Yan and the Ti Hu Pill.

Now, Tai Dan Court’s Pill Refiners would test medicinal traits, ratios, and fire intensities; elimination would yield ideal Ti Hu Pill mixes.

Verification via the Attribute Panel for refinability would seal success.

Gazing down at the assembly, Luo Chen declared steadily, "You all know why I called you here, right?"

The full hall, briefed by Qu Lingjun on the basics, responded without pause.

"Disciples are willing to assist the Supreme Elder in Pill Refinement!"

Luo Chen boomed with laughter, "Good, then let’s begin!"

The Feather Robe Daoist stood up, sweeping his hand as beams of light shot toward the group.
