Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2786 - 1031: Extremely Radical, Late Stage Nascent Soul (2)

From a distance, she quietly watched the young boy and girl inside, a look of curiosity on her face.

"The personality of the master’s clone seems to be completely different from the master’s?"

"He doesn’t appear reckless, yet he shows no concern for the consequences of his actions. And he’s quite extreme; I even sensed a hint of murderous intent from him during the day."

"He’s so young, why is his personality so extreme?"

"And didn’t the master say he’s already at the Qi Refinement Stage? Why can’t I detect any Spirit Power Fluctuation on him?"

Little White had just arrived today.

Traveling from the Western Continent to the Tian Nan Continent, essentially crossing over half of Zhongzhou, and with the sea separating them, it took her more than half a year.

However, the first time she saw Zhou Fuqiu, she couldn’t help but have many questions arise.

As she was deep in thought, there was a sudden soft sound beside her.

Drip drop!

"Is it raining?"

Little White looked at the sky in confusion, it didn’t seem like a rainy day!

As she bowed her head in bewilderment, a figure silently appeared beside her.

"Uninvited as you are, Friend, you come off rather rude."

Little White’s face changed drastically, staring intently at the figure emanating an air of aged decay.

"Who are you?"

"I should be the one asking you!"

The aged figure turned around, staring at Little White, a look of suspicion on his face.

"I am Zhou Yunshen, the Zhou Family Patriarch. You have the breath of an old acquaintance about you, are you one of Luo Chen’s people?"

Hearing him introduce himself, Little White finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She nodded and said, "Luo Chen is indeed my master, my name is Bai Meiling."

Zhou Yunshen verified his guess, then his gaze shifted to the two figures lit by the candlelight.

"Are you here on behalf of your master to see Fu Qiu?"

"Yes!"

"Didn’t he say not to interfere with Fu Qiu’s growth?"

Little White hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "That’s none of your business!"

"Don’t want to say, huh?" Zhou Yunshen chuckled softly, no longer pressing, just gazing at the courtyard’s night scene.

This quiet night scene was soon broken.

A dozen people, surrounding a richly dressed woman, barged into Zhou Fuqiu’s home, shouting, "Beat that little brat to death!"

However, before they could see Zhou Fuqiu and his sibling, a muscular man blocked their path in the courtyard.

"Go back!"

The crowd stood dumbstruck.

Someone recognized the identity of the muscular man.

"It’s the Family Head!"

Zhou Junxiao sternly said, "How could you adults be shameless enough to intervene in the children’s quarrels? Should I call over Zhou Xiaocheng?"

Zhou Xiaocheng, the grandfather of Zhou Yu Hao, was the deep power this group relied upon.

Embarrassed, they left the courtyard quietly.

Zhou Junxiao looked displeased and as he turned around, he caught sight of the boy standing under the eaves.

Zhou Junxiao forced a smile, "Don’t be afraid, this is the Zhou family. Your parents died fighting for the clan, no one dares to bully you. Tomorrow, come to the clan’s meeting hall, Second Grandpa has something to discuss with you."

The young boy gently nodded, the cold vigilance in his eyes somewhat diminished.

In the distance.

Little White curiously asked, "You guys are also interfering with Zhou Fuqiu’s growth, huh?"

Zhou Yunshen chuckled, "After all, his surname is Zhou!"

Then, Zhou Yunshen asked, "Friend Bai, I wonder if you are just passing through or plan to stay for long?"

Bai Meiling hesitated for a moment, and ultimately said, "I may stay for a while."

Zhou Yunshen gave an acknowledging murmur, then said, "In that case, I suggest you reside in Bailu Marsh, considering you are a Ghost Cultivator. Staying too long in the gathering area of my Zhou family members might affect the low-level clan members."

Bai Meiling’s heart skipped a beat, realizing her true nature was seen through by the other party at a glance.

Even though she hid so well before, how was she discovered?

The master had mentioned before that unless a Great Cultivator deliberately searched, an ordinary Nascent Soul couldn’t possibly discover her.

The master couldn’t possibly be wrong!

So the unexpected situation could only mean one thing, this near-death old man in front of her had undergone some unforeseen change.

Little White quietly cast a Divine Consciousness spell on the old man.

At that moment, even though his body stood before her, Zhou Yunshen seemed non-existent in the observation of Divine Consciousness, only the empty vastness of heaven and earth remained.

Merging with heaven and earth?

Little White suddenly woke up, staring at Zhou Yunshen with a look of terror in her eyes.

This situation was not unfamiliar to her, because she often saw it happen with her master before.

"You!"

Zhou Yunshen smiled slightly, "Thanks to your master’s blessing, I’ve gained some insights. Friend Bai, go to Bailu Marsh, you need not worry about Zhou Fuqiu here."

Little White took a deep look at the elder and left the Green Water Pavilion.

...

Deep within Bailu Marsh.

Settling down, Little White hesitated for a long moment and then cautiously activated the Jade Pendant given to her by Luo Chen.

Soon, a voice like metal clashing came from the Jade Pendant.

"Little White?"

"Master, it’s me!"

"What’s the matter?"

"Your avatar encountered some unexpected situations, with both parents dead and not doing well in the clan, leading to a rather extreme personality. In my view, if not properly guided, such an extreme nature will not be beneficial to cultivation and might lead to an untimely death later."

"Hmm, I understand."

"Also, you said he reached the Qi Refinement Stage, but I haven’t observed any Spirit Power Fluctuations from him, which is quite odd."

"I understand."

"Lastly, the Ancestor of the Zhou Family, Zhou Yunshen, said that thanks to your blessing, he has had some revelation. From my observation, he seems to have grasped the Law’s True Intent and quietly entered the Late Stage Nascent Soul Realm."

"Oh? Is there any other news?"

"No more."

"Cherish the remaining two opportunities; this Jade Pendant has only three chances for sound transmission."

"Okay!"

After the brief exchange, Bai Meiling looked at the Jade Pendant, dimmed by a third, and exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi.

Although somewhat unexpected, everything was still under control.

Meanwhile.

In the Azure Darkness, tens of millions of miles away from the Tian Nan Continent, Luo Chen looked at the Jade Pendant in his hand with surprise.

The Jade Pendant he gave Bai Meiling was not an ordinary Sound Transmission Jade Pendant; it was crafted with special techniques, even leaving behind three pieces of his Divine Consciousness split out, allowing for transcontinental long-distance dialogue.

And this Divine Consciousness would decrease with each use.

He had specially reminded Little White to use the Jade Pendant only in unexpected situations.

Now that one chance was wasted so quickly, is there a special circumstance unfolding?

With a thought, the corresponding Divine Consciousness returned to the Sea of Consciousness.

In an instant, he knew the intelligence sent by Little White.

"Both parents dead, an extremely radical nature?"

"No Spirit Power Fluctuation observed?"

"Zhou Yunshen comprehends Law’s True Intent, entering Late Stage Nascent Soul Realm?"

Luo Chen muttered these three messages, showing interest on his face.

The avatar, clearly on the path of Cultivation, without Spirit Power Fluctuation, contemplating for a moment, Luo Chen came to the answer.

It must be the result of the Ming Water Spring Eye!

Before Zhou Fuqiu was not yet born, he had scattered and integrated the Ming Water Spring Eye into the other’s body.

With this Exotic Treasure in place, as long as the avatar wishes, it becomes the best Concealment Technique in the world, except for God Transformation Great Power, no one else can see through his true Realm.

As for Zhou Yunshen’s comprehension of the Law’s True Intent...

Luo Chen thought about it and, too, pinned it on the Ming Water Spring Eye.

He chiefly practiced the Fire Type, and back then, he could comprehend the Water Origin from the Ming Water Spring Eye. Naturally, with Zhou Yunshen mainly practicing Water Method, in "close proximity," there was some chance to gain insight into the Water Origin.

His judgment was correct. Since the birth of the avatar Zhou Fuqiu, it had rained incessantly in Bailu Marsh year-round, precisely the effect of the Ming Water Spring Eye.

As long as Zhou Fuqiu’s Realm grew higher in the future, this external influence would come under control to some extent.

Zhou Yunshen’s insight into the Water Origin was also due to the influence of the avatar, or in other words, it was indeed thanks to "Luo Chen’s blessing."

However, this matter in itself did not have a significant impact, given Zhou Yunshen’s old age, even if back then Luo Chen helped extend his life for a few years, it wasn’t enough for him to charge into the God Transformation Realm.

Instead, it could be of certain benefit to the growth of the avatar.

What truly concerned Luo Chen was the personality of the avatar Zhou Fuqiu.

"Extreme? Radical?"

"Is it caused by the sudden change of losing both parents, or is it inherent in his nature?"

"Will this extreme nature affect my future retrieval of the Life Soul?"

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen fell into contemplation.

Just in case, he should now use some means to subtly influence his avatar to facilitate the retrieval of the Life Soul.

But measures applied postnatally could easily be detected by others.

Ultimately, Luo Chen decided to stay put.

"I can suppress and refine even ghosts and deities, let alone an avatar!"
