Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2737 - 1010_3

Luo Chen had never anticipated achieving the Late Stage Nascent Soul so swiftly, even with his already rapid cultivation speed.

However, this time, during the condensation of his Primordial Spirit, by stirring the energies of heaven and earth, he consumed all the Spirit Qi accumulated by Elixir Mountain over many years in a single breath. Through the Spirit Gathering Array, he further absorbed more than half of the Spirit Qi within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

This immense influx of spiritual energy enabled him to solidify his progress and take such a significant leap forward.

It was foreseeable that, with steady cultivation over the next ten to twenty years, reaching the Late Stage Nascent Soul would be a natural progression.

Nevertheless, Luo Chen possessed a clear sense of priority.

Compared to advancing his cultivation realm, the refinement of the Ming Water Spring Eye, a task previously planned, held greater importance.

"With the Primordial Spirit formed, even if I can't reach Divine Transformation just yet, extinguishing the consciousness of the Spring Eye will be effortless," Luo Chen mused, a slight smile gracing his lips as his gaze settled upon the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

...Outside Elixir Mountain, several figures were gathered, maintaining a patient vigil.

After a considerable duration, a calm voice emanated from within the mountain's confines.

"I am well, there is no need for everyone to worry."

A collective sigh of relief rippled through the assembled group.

In attendance were Elder Ling Fengzi, the Four Nascent Soul cultivators, and four Golden Core stage cultivators. These included Sect Master Li Yingzhang, Luo Chen's disciple Qu Lingjun, and his two Dao Companions, Sima Huiniang and Gu Caiyi.

Elder Ling Fengzi, ever the most seasoned and prudent, offered words of comfort, "As I stated, Brother Luo Chen is blessed, and nothing untoward would happen. Yet, you insisted on coming."

Li Yingzhang gently shook his head, responding, "The Supreme Elder is the very pillar of the Luo Tian Sect; no concern is too trivial."

Qu Lingjun then addressed Elixir Mountain, announcing, "Master, the Ti Hu Pills are fully nurtured!"

As he spoke, he presented a large gourd.

Instantly, the attention of Ling Fengzi, Cang Long, and Yu Jiaolong focused on the gourd, their eyes alight with unmistakable desire, their breathing growing noticeably quicker.

This was the fabled Pseudo-Fifth Rank Divine Pill ancient alchemists had sought!

Its mystical properties were remarkably beneficial for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

From within the mountain, Luo Chen let out a soft chuckle.

"Thank you for your diligent efforts."

Following his words, a surge of Qi Power enveloped the large gourd, drawing it back towards Elixir Mountain.

"I shall continue with closed-door cultivation henceforth. Do not disturb me unless it concerns a matter of life and death."

After conveying this directive, all activity from Elixir Mountain ceased.

Elder Ling Fengzi watched the gourd depart with a flicker of regret, his fingers unconsciously stroking his beard more rapidly.

It was common knowledge throughout the Luo Tian Sect that Brother Luo Chen had successfully refined the Ti Hu Pill.

Moreover, he had produced a significant quantity, totaling fifteen pills!

Whispers suggested that each cultivator could only benefit from consuming one such pill in their entire lifetime.

Even Deng Taiyue, a prominent figure, would only request a single pill.

What then would become of the remainder? Surely, they would benefit the Luo Tian Sect?

While Wang Yuan, a Body Refiner, might not utilize them, they would surely be of value to himself and Cang Long!

However, Brother Luo Chen had shown no indication of sharing these precious pills with the cultivators of the Luo Tian Sect, a fact that caused Elder Ling Fengzi considerable unease.

"My husband has his own intentions, Elder Ling Fengzi; there is no need for such haste. What is destined to be yours will come, and what is not, cannot be forced," Gu Caiyi stated calmly, her demeanor neither arrogant nor subservient towards the Nascent Soul True Master.

Sima Huiniang added her perspective, "Since the Pill Formula has been deciphered, and with my husband's mastery of Pill Refinement, acquiring herbs later will allow him to refine as many as desired. Elder Ling Fengzi, indeed, there is no need to be impatient."

Faced with this dual approach, employing both subtle persuasion and direct reasoning, Elder Ling Fengzi found himself unable to effectively retort.

After all, they were Luo Chen's Dao Companions; what more could he say, especially when their words held a degree of truth?

Yu Jiaolong, situated at the First Layer of the Nascent Soul, was not yet in a hurry to reach Divine Transformation, and thus, her concern was relatively minor.

Conversely, Fairy Cang Long displayed a hint of thoughtful hesitation.

"Brother Luo Chen has only just achieved a breakthrough; he should be resting, yet he continues with closed-door cultivation?"

"His actions suggest a considerable urgency."

A moment of contemplation fell upon everyone present at these words.

It indeed appeared to be the case!

Since Luo Chen's return, although he had managed all affairs meticulously, these precise actions betrayed an underlying sense of suppressed haste.

Deng Taiyue had made a brief visit and departed.

Bai Meiling had been dispatched to sweep through the Nether Abyss.

It all felt like preparations for something significant.

Following his return, apart from healing Luo Lingxi and refining the Ti Hu Pill, Luo Chen had engaged minimally with others.

Even with his two Dao Companions, there had been no displays of basic intimacy.

Furthermore, he had offered limited guidance to his disciples.

All significant and minor matters concerning the Luo Tian Sect had been delegated to Li Yingzhang.

Luo Chen, contrary to popular belief, is not a cruel individual, so why is he acting with such a lack of concern for all else?

"A powerful opponent must be lurking, which explains his actions!"

Wang Yuan suddenly exclaimed, his certainty unwavering.

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

Given Luo Chen's demonstrated might, what truly formidable foe could compel him to act with such haste?

Wang Yuan declared with gravity, "I comprehend his motives. When confronted by a significant threat, he adopts this demeanor. The omission of our involvement likely stems from his belief that our assistance would be minimal, thus he carries the entire burden alone."

Sima Huiniang inquired, "Then, what course of action should we take?"

Taking a measured breath, Wang Yuan tilted his head upwards...
