Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 3020 - 1117: Four Kindred Fruits, Yan Fu Rises Again

Darkened sky, desolate land.

No longer does the land boast once lush mountains and waters; only ruined remnants remain.

A black ape, about the height of a normal person, viewed this scene with a neutral expression, yet let out a sigh.

"Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven can’t hold on much longer."

This black ape was a puppet controlled by Luo Chen’s divine perception, its power merely at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Currently, Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, having suffered the outburst from the Ming Water Spring Eye and Lan Ke Chessboard, could no longer withstand Luo Chen’s true body entering.

The abundant Qi power within him, no matter how concealed, would likely burst this small world if he were to enter.

Thus, Luo Chen had no choice but to use divine perception to control a puppet to enter the cave heaven.

Upon entering, the Black Ape Puppet determined the direction and headed towards a secluded area.

Approximately half a day later, it arrived at its destination.

This was the valley built by the Gu Family within Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, dedicated to cultivating spirit medicine.

However, unlike the past when spirit grass flourished and filled the air with fragrance, now this valley was bare, leaving only one thing.

A small tree!

The tree wasn’t large, standing only about ten feet high, with a width barely the size of a bowl.

But its branches were twisted and strong, giving an impression of unyielding resilience.

Especially the veins on its leaves, resembling human blood vessels, were crystalline and dazzling with an eerie color.

The Black Ape Puppet scrutinized the small tree, occasionally tapping the ground beneath.

The Demonheart Tree had been obtained over three hundred years ago, extracted from the Land of Fallen Demons within Wood Heaven Plain.

Once obtained, it never blossomed or bore fruit, akin to a chicken rib.

Nonetheless, research on this tree never ceased.

Until Sang Jinghe experienced a breakthrough failure, leaving behind all his lifelong research before his passing, presenting a feasible method.

This realm lacks ancient demons and ancient beasts are challenging to kill, making traditional cultivation with demon hearts extremely difficult. Thus, Sang Jinghe researched the use of wild beast hearts for cultivation.

With various secret techniques, perhaps one day, fruit might be produced.

"It is indeed feasible, but sadly Jinghe won’t see that day."

The Black Ape Puppet paused beneath the tree, gazing upward, where a few buds faintly appeared on several branches.

Counting carefully, there were four.

Matching perfectly with the four Fifth-order Desolate Beasts he had slain during his decade-long journey through the wilderness.

Cabinet Raccoon, Chaotic Sky Stone Monkey, Nine Extremes Sparrow, Green Pearl Phoenix.

After the demise of these four beasts, most of their materials were gifted by Luo Chen to Gu Caiyi and the Four Great Guardian Spirit Beasts, while their lifeforce nourished the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire, and their vital hearts were buried beneath the Demonheart Tree.

Now, the four hearts were about to bear four Unity Fruits!

Once matured, if Luo Chen consumes and refines the fruits, he might break his physical body limits and achieve a Fifth-tier Ancient True Body!

With the time difference in Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, that day should not be far off.

The Black Ape Puppet carefully inspected, then produced large amounts of high-grade spiritual soil and synthesized accelerating potion, meticulously nurturing this small tree.

...

"Is this the Luo Tian Sect?"

Outside Upper Nether City, Qi Ying glanced at the current mountain gate of Luo Tian Sect, his face remained impassive, yet inside, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

In his mind, given Elder Luo Chen’s strength, the sect he belonged to should certainly have the grandeur of a holy land.

But now, it seemed rather prosperous, yet only slightly better than a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect.

Far from being a sacred land in a continent!

Beside him, Gu Caiyi was beaming with pride.

"Indeed, this is where the Luo Tian Sect’s temporary mountain gate is located! My husband founded the Luo Tian Sect, and it hasn’t even been five hundred years since. From a mere Qi Refinement Stage force originally, growing gradually into what it is now, it has almost assumed the aura of a holy land. Such an unprecedented creation is unparalleled in the Mountain Sea Realm!"

Hearing this, surprise flickered through Qi Ying’s eyes.

He was a solitary individual, or rather, deeply focused by nature.

Other than his own interests, he seldom paid attention to the outer world.

This was also why Mr. Xuan Yan broke his rules to accept Qi Ying in his later years, despite never having a disciple his entire life.

He never imagined that once, Luo Tian Sect was a mere Qi Refinement Stage force five hundred years ago.

Reflecting on this, observing the mountain gate’s ambiance again, he felt a sense of exceptionality.

Vigorous and boundless, all-encompassing.

Every sect member’s face radiated the same heartfelt pride evident in Gu Caiyi.

The so-called cohesion of the sect had reached its peak, the only thing lacking was the accumulation of time to perpetuate this unifying force.

"Friend Qi Ying, my husband would like to enlist you, specifically preparing the position of Guest Elder of the Alchemy Institute for you. May I know your thoughts?" Gu Caiyi warmly invited.

Qi Ying hesitated, "I merely have a passion for the Dao of Alchemy, not interested in authority or position, and am inherently averse to trouble, sometimes heading out to search for medicine whenever I please. I’m afraid, this position as Guest Elder..."

Gu Caiyi waved her hand generously, "You need not worry. As our sect’s first Nascent Soul Stage Guest Elder, you won’t have any concerns, focus entirely on what you wish to do. Conversely, should you have any demands, you can freely send sect disciples to assist. Whatever resources you need, Luo Tian Sect will provide."

Gu Caiyi blinked as she spoke.

"Friend Qi, although rogue cultivators are numerous in today’s immortal cultivation world, you might somewhat experience the struggles rogue cultivators face!"

Qi Ying opened his mouth and showed a helpless smile.

Previously, under Mr. Xuan Yan’s care and having disciples from the Dark Abyss Sect to assist him, he hadn’t felt it deeply.
