Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster - Chapter 1548

Chapter 1548: Chapter 574: The Four Overlords of the North Sea_2

Tian Xuan had already been waiting outside.

Upon seeing Luo Chen appear, her eyes brightened at first sight.

Such an elegant and dust-free temperament was something she had never seen before.

In a faint realization, she bowed and congratulated: “Congratulations, master, your Dao cultivation has greatly progressed, one step closer to the realm of True Master!”

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head; attaining the realm of True Master was not so easily achieved.

Golden Core Transformation to Nascent Soul, Concentration of the Divine Soul, Yin Emptiness transforms to Yang Reality. Three Flowers Gathering at the Head, Five Qi Towards the Yuan, the internal and external as one, only then can one be called a True Master!

This was the main takeaway from his sudden enlightenment.

The cultivation factors involved were numerous.

Now this small step seemed ever so distant.

Of course, without accumulating small steps, one cannot travel a thousand miles. In order to reach the realm of True Master, what is needed is precisely this kind of accumulation.

A refreshed Luo Chen summoned a white cloud with a wave of his hand and stepped onto it.

Tian Xuan’s gaze became focused, the color of this cloud?

She remembered that her master mainly cultivated Fire Type Spirit Power, and when riding the clouds, it was often red.

But now?

“Master, is this Magic Cloud transformed from Water Element Spirit Power?”

Luo Chen nodded and casually said, “Just a little trick of Mana Conversion, nothing noteworthy.”

Despite saying this, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

This was also a small part of what he gained from his sudden enlightenment.

After understanding the essence of power, converting it became much easier than before.

After all, the essence of his Red Golden Core was indeed a Five-Colored Golden Core, belonging to the harmony of the Five Elements.

Previously, he needed to spend extra time in advance for the conversion, but now he could do it at will.

Although the Qi Power converted in this manner, whether controlling magic items or casting techniques, its potency was rather ordinary, it at least made up for some of the minor abilities he previously lacked.

This, too, counted as an unexpected joy.

“Come up!”

Tian Xuan boarded the Magic Cloud with a hint of admiration and asked, “Master, where do we go now?”

“Others have offered me peaches; though I cannot reciprocate with rare treasures, the proper courtesies must still be observed,” Luo Chen said calmly, straightening his crown and collar, “To Tianyuan Building, to visit True Master Fu.”

After a brief explanation, Luo Chen stirred the Qi Power, and the white cloud floated up, flying towards the Central Avenue in Feileng City.

…

Although Luo Chen claimed he couldn’t reciprocate with rare treasures, he didn’t skimp on the proper courtesies at all.

He had not only prepared some specialty products from the Flying Swallow Islands that were quite distinctive but also prepared two portions of Emperor Liquor, his forte, and even reluctantly took out a piece of the Thousand-Year Thunder Blossom from his treasured collection!

The value of such gifts was by no means inferior to that of the Returning Yang Elixir, even perhaps greater!

These days, due to participation in Feileng City’s auction, Fu Chaosheng, who had not been in Closed-Door Cultivation, was informed right away by his subordinates.

Seeing the gifts brought before him, he was both shocked and relieved.

“It appears that this young man not only knows the ways of the world but is evidently also reluctant to remain indebted to me from our previous dealings,” he mused.

Fiddling with the piece of Thousand-Year Thunder Blossom radiating a rich Power of Thunder, Fu Chaosheng’s eyes gleamed with amusement.

He had thought that after presenting a rare Returning Yang Elixir, the other party would not be able to repay, and if there was a future need for Luo Chen’s help, Luo Chen would not be able to refuse.

Now it seemed that this was a person who did not wish to owe others.

The steward of Tianyuan Building was a Late Golden Core Stage Great Cultivator, known as Dan Shubao, with the Daoist title of Upper Master Jun Bao.

This referred not only to his appropriate conduct, managing the Tianyuan Business Alliance of the southeast region extremely well, but also to his formidable strength, capable of commanding a region.

At the moment, he looked on enviously at the piece of Thousand-Year Thunder Blossom in Fu Chaosheng’s hands.

“Elder, do you wish to meet Luo Hai?”

Fu Chaosheng smiled slightly, “Meet him? Of course, I’ll meet him. I’m free today anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to see him.”

As he spoke, he slid the Thousand-Year Thunder Blossom into his pouch.

How could he not see Dan Shubao’s longing eyes?

But this was a valuable item, coveted even by Nascent Soul True Masters.

Dan Shubao made a gesture, “Then I’ll inform him to come up.”

Just as Dan Shubao was about to leave, Fu Chaosheng suddenly called out to him, his lips moving slightly.

Dan Shubao paused, then quickly understood and departed.

…

On meeting with Fu Chaosheng again, it was on the seventh floor of Tianyuan Building.

Luo Chen was respectful in demeanor, presenting his salutation formally.

Yet his bearing was neither servile nor overbearing.

After sizing him up, Fu Chaosheng nodded in satisfaction, “As expected, you’ve turned misfortune into a blessing; your Dao cultivation has advanced significantly, and you have gained even more than I imagined.”

“It was only with the True Master’s generous gift of the elixir that I was able to attain such gains,” Luo Chen sincerely replied.

Fu Chaosheng, however, shook his head, “That Returning Yang Elixir, although precious, is merely meant for those who have not yet undergone Nascent Soul Formation, and isn’t much to me. I had intended to keep it to reward the younger generation.”

Having said that, he casually asked, “Did you come to Feileng City for the auction?”

Luo Chen gave an affirmative sound, “Indeed so. The life of a Rogue Cultivator is tough, gathering resources quite difficult. I can only through such large auctions gather the necessary resources while broadening my horizons. For this reason, I’ve turned all the Demon Beast gains from the outer sea over the years into currency.”

“Knowing the hardships of being a Rogue Cultivator, why not consider joining a major power to rely on?”

Luo Chen’s gaze sharpened as he responded with a question, “What kind of power counts as a major force?”

Fu Chaosheng chuckled lightly and began listing, “Near us, there’s the domineering Mo Luo Sect, and farther away, there’s the emerging Penglai Immortal Sect, both with Post-Nascent Cultivators at the helm. If you feel they are not stable enough, there’s also the newly established Divine Transformation Holy Land Canghai Righteous Alliance, with the newly ascended Great Power Li Douliang. Even the strong of the Demon Clan fear his might and dare not rashly invade the North Sea Fairy Islands. Of course, if you have a carefree nature and do not wish to be constrained, there are groups like the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering for independent cultivators to join. As long as you have the strength, you can thrive within them.”
