Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2741 - 1012: Part 2

Shortly thereafter, the woman arrived at the Cave Mansion.

Jiuling Yuanjun opened his eyes. "Sister Chang Xi, what urgent matter brings you here?"

Chang Xi presented the item she held.

"An invitation?" Jiuling Yuanjun examined it, murmuring, "It's from that fellow Deng Taiyue again."

Chang Xi gave a slight nod and elaborated, "Master Taiyue is orchestrating an auction at Lingtian Pass, an event he's been planning for many years. This auction will feature all the remaining Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects in the Eastern Wasteland, alongside hundreds of formidable Golden Core forces."

On hearing this, Jiuling Yuanjun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"The scale is quite grand; what gives him the confidence to host such an event?"

"You'll understand by simply looking at the invitation!"

Jiuling Yuanjun unfurled the invitation and quickly skimmed its contents.

While the resources mentioned at the forefront, though precious and rare, didn't hold significant value for him, his gaze halted upon seeing the latter part.

"Ten Nascent Soul Formation Pills!"

"Where did he procure so many Nascent Soul Formation Pills? And why would he be willing to part with them? What is the purpose of using them as the centerpiece for this auction?"

The answers to numerous questions began to dawn upon Jiuling Yuanjun.

"Alchemy Sect's Luo Chen!"

Chang Xi appeared startled. "Brother, are you suggesting that this auction orchestrated by Master Taiyue is actually being directed from the shadows by True Master Luo?"

Jiuling Yuanjun nodded. "That seems to be the case. From what I understand, within the Eastern Wasteland currently, only Luo Chen possesses the ability to refine Nascent Soul Formation Pills. He previously concocted such elixirs for the Shen Fu Sect years ago. Furthermore, Luo Chen maintains a cordial relationship with Deng Taiyue; the latter has assisted him in gathering medicinal ingredients for an extended period. Even having the audacity to present ten Nascent Soul Formation Pills simultaneously, only Luo Chen in the entire Eastern Wasteland could achieve this."

Chang Xi inquired with curiosity, "Then, what is True Master Luo's objective?"

"Indeed, what is his true purpose?" Jiuling Yuanjun's eyes narrowed slightly.

After a brief pause, he carefully put the invitation away.

"I believe a visit is in order. Not only to acquire a Nascent Soul Formation Pill for our sect but also to show due respect to Luo Chen."

Presently, all the major Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects face financial strain.

This 'financial strain' doesn't refer to Spirit Stone reserves, but rather the peak combat strength represented by Nascent Soul True Masters.

During the two-century-long Human and Demon War, an excessive number of Nascent Soul True Masters perished.

Even though secret techniques have been employed over the years to expedite the cultivation of some individuals, it remains a mere drop in the vast ocean.

Moreover, the Nascent Soul Formation Pills meticulously refined by Luo Chen are genuine breakthrough elixirs, eliminating concerns about diverse cultivation methodologies.

If another Nascent Soul True Master can be cultivated for the sect, it would represent a significant achievement.

...

Meanwhile, within the confines of the Taishan Sect.

Deng Taiyue addressed the disciple who approached him. "Seven years have elapsed; have the invitations been dispatched?"

The seasoned disciple inclined his head respectfully. "All invitations have been sent, including those to the distant Jiuling Sect and East Sun Sect."

Upon receiving this confirmation, Deng Taiyue visibly relaxed.

The two critical tasks assigned by Luo Chen were to aid in the collection of Nine Heavens Qi and to facilitate the sale of the Nascent Soul Formation Pills.

He felt that both objectives could be fully realized through a grand auction.

The disciple, unable to contain his curiosity, ventured, "Master, why are so many Nascent Soul Formation Pills being sold? Our Taishan Sect currently has only you and Elder Gong as Nascent Soul True Masters; why not reserve them for personal use?"

Deng Taiyue offered no explanation, simply gesturing for the disciple to depart.

The disciple exited, a sense of bewilderment lingering, leaving Deng Taiyue alone within the Cave Mansion.

He let out a soft sigh, having already grasped the general intention behind Luo Chen's plan.

Once this significant quantity of Nascent Soul Formation Pills is distributed, only the most exceptionally talented disciples from each sect will be deemed worthy of consuming them.

The majority of these chosen disciples have already weathered the trials of the two-hundred-year Human and Demon War, considered elites among elites.

It can be said that their inherent prospects of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage were already high, and with the invaluable assistance of Luo Chen's Nascent Soul Formation Pills, their breakthrough becomes virtually assured.

Consequently, the Eastern Wasteland's Immortal Cultivation World, which has been considerably weakened, will receive a substantial revitalization.

Everyone is not oblivious; they will undoubtedly deduce that this batch of Nascent Soul Formation Pills originates from Luo Chen's meticulous crafting.

"Selflessly distributing the invaluable Nascent Soul Formation Pills to all, disseminating benevolence and upholding the honor of the Alchemy Sect. He has made complete preparations for the potential war!"

It was only expected that when Luo Chen issued a call, some level of response would come from others.

Yet, Deng Taiyue remained far from optimistic.

After all, their adversary was the former supreme power of the Mountain Sea Realm, with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect bolstered by a Divine Transformation Great Power.

Just as Deng Taiyue was immersing himself in a sigh, the disciple who had departed moments before suddenly reappeared.

Deng Taiyue cast a look of annoyance at the returning figure.

"Is there something else?"

The disciple appeared taken aback, "Master, there is news from the West Desert concerning your friend, True Master Luo."

"Oh?"

Deng Taiyue's interest was piqued.

...

While the Outer World teemed with chaos, the Blessed Land remained in profound tranquility.

Ever since Luo Chen's primordial spirit exerted its influence over Elixir Mountain, three more years have quietly passed for the Luo Tian Sect.

During this triennium, under the diligent guidance of Li Yingzhang, the sect has witnessed the emergence of a new generation of exceptional talents.

The count of Golden Core cultivators alone has now exceeded twenty.

Furthermore, he has successfully established a base of operations in the Outer World, acting as its principal decision-maker.

That strategic location is none other than the Upper Nether Ruined City!

Hao Ranzi did not return, choosing instead to remain in the Upper Nether Ruined City.

He perceived that after the severe damage to his vitality at Cangwu Mountain, compounded by his advancing age, his chances for achieving Divine Transformation in this lifetime were nonexistent. Therefore, he resolved to leave behind a lasting legacy.

Following discussions with Li Yingzhang, he proposed emulating Ling Fengzi's precedent and establishing a distinct Hao Ranzi lineage within the Luo Tian Sect.
