Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3260 - 1229: Demon Race Statue, Moyu Space

Crash!

A rainbow of Sword Qi slashed down vertically.

Instantly, The Great River split open, waves standing up like walls.

The power of one sword was truly terrifying.

Yet the Sword Light lingered above the ancient temple, without harming its body one bit.

Such exquisite control demonstrated the unfathomable strength of the one who wielded the sword.

Everyone couldn’t help but glance sideways.

Especially that Golden Core Female Cultivator traveling with Liu Muchan, who, upon seeing the Azure Gold Long Sword in Luo Chen’s hand, couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Luohong Sword!"

Luo Chen twirled the sword, smiling as he asked, "Does this Senior Sister recognize this sword?"

She waved her hand, "No need to call me Senior Sister, my realm is slightly lower than yours. Just call me Lu Zhenqiu."

Beside her, Liu Muchan took the opportunity to introduce, "Junior Sister Lu hails from Guzhu Peak, is a true disciple under Master You Huang, who is a friend of our master, and has also joined the Law Enforcement Institute. This mission, even though the number of people is small, is actually a cooperation between the Spirit Medicine Institute, the Law Enforcement Institute, and the Foreign Affairs Hall."

Luo Chen nodded understandingly.

An outlying estate of the sect had a reduced yield of medicinal herbs, and it has been ongoing for two hundred years. Although the amount doesn’t mean much to the Su Ling Sect itself,

the personnel problems involved are not something that can be judged by the size of the amount.

The Spirit Medicine Institute issues the task, the Foreign Affairs Hall recruits people to complete it, as expected.

The involvement of the Law Enforcement Institute is primarily to see if there’s any under-the-table operations or issues like embezzlement.

After introducing Lu Zhenqiu, Liu Muchan was also quite curious.

"This sword of Xuan Luo, it’s my first time seeing it too, how do you know it, Junior Sister Lu?"

Lu Zhenqiu looked enviously at the golden long sword in Luo Chen’s hand, "This sword was personally refined by the dean of the Hundred Skills Institute. Based on the benefits of the five metals and supplemented by hundreds of minerals, it also incorporates a trace of precious Refining Cloud Qi. As soon as it was formed into a sword embryo, it already had the potential of an Ascendant Grade Magic Item. Many people say that if this sword meets a worthy master, nurturing it into a True Device in the future would come as no surprise. Back then, many senior brothers and sisters in the Law Enforcement Institute desired this sword, but the dean of the Hundred Skills Institute was reluctant to part with it. Yet, I didn’t expect, this sword is now in your hands, Xuan Luo, and has been nurtured into your Natal Magic Item."

Luo Chen raised the longsword, his eyes sweeping over.

He didn’t expect this sword to have such a reputation.

Back during the Pill Tasting Conference, Dean He incited the heads of the Three Halls and Five Courtyards to reward him.

Some people gave rather "poor" rewards, such as the head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, who only gave some Spirit Stones.

Later, the head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall sent a large amount of manpower and resources to help him perfectly host his Golden Core Ceremony, which served as some compensation.

And at the time, some people also considered the reward given by the dean of the Hundred Skills Institute to be meager.

The dean only gave a Magic Item Embryo.

Yet, the sword embryo given by the dean had such a name within the sect.

If nurtured properly, achieving a True Device in the future is within reach.

Of course, Luo Chen was aware of the extraordinary nature of the sword, otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent some time nurturing and refining it.

What he valued most was the aforementioned trace of Refining Cloud Qi within the Luohong Sword.

Refining Cloud Qi, and the Chi Xiao Qi Luo Chen previously mainly practiced, both belong to the Nine Heavens Qi!

Though different in nature, they originate from the same source.

After refining this sword, using the "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture" became much more seamless.

The earlier Sword Qi Rainbow was clear evidence!

Luo Chen smiled and said, "This sword was given to me by the dean of the Hundred Skills Institute during my Foundation Establishment Stage, I didn’t expect it to be such a treasure."

Lu Zhenqiu looked enviously again, then curiously asked, "Speaking of which, I still don’t know how you, Xuan Luo, came to be here?"

Luo Chen cast his gaze towards the ancient temple below.

"I took on a task to find a certain Spirit Plant, but didn’t expect to run into you all, and it seems to be the same target."

The others realized it too.

No wonder they encountered each other tonight.

Liu Muchan waved her hand, taking the lead, "Let’s go down and have a look!"

A group of seven, leaving behind two Foundation Establishment Cultivators to monitor outside, while the rest quickly flew down without hesitation.

As their figures disappeared, the tides of The Great River, losing the Qi power support, crashed down, and the river surface smoothed out once again.

...

The temple was nameless, its gates tightly shut.

There were no Array shields around it, merely using the surging river as cover.

But after descending here, it felt extraordinary.

While Liu Muchan was observing the surrounding environment, she saw Luo Chen bend down, reaching out to collect some moss growing on the ground.

"Xuan Luo, is this your task goal?"

Luo Chen examined the moss in his hand, pitch black in color, with an eye-like pattern in the center.

It was precisely the Phoenix Eye Obsidian Moss that the Nascent Soul True Master from the Spirit Medicine Institute had specifically requested!

Looking around, a large patch had grown.

It seemed that the Rogue Cultivator named Huang Wei did not lie to him, this place indeed produces Phoenix Eye Obsidian Moss in abundance.

But upon closer inspection, Luo Chen inadvertently frowned.

This Spirit Plant, with an appearance identical to the one described in the texts, gave off a rather sinister feeling.

With a thought, he gently touched the moss with a finger.

It was the Falling Petal Hand from Basic Alchemy Art of the Mystic Realm!

It could instantly max out the potency and Spirit Qi of the medicinal material.

The next moment, a shocking scene occurred.

A wisp of black Qi emerged abruptly.

Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed, already recognizing what this black Qi was.

Liu Muchan, as if unaware, but Lu Zhenqiu hesitantly said, "Is this... Demonic Qi?"

Luo Chen glanced at her, "Lu Zhenqiu, you have a good eye."

Liu Muchan’s expression changed slightly, "Junior Sister Lu, is it really Demonic Qi?"

Lu Zhenqiu swallowed, "It should be correct, as a Law Enforcement Cultivator, we occasionally go out on missions and have encountered the descendants of the Demon Race, they emit exactly this type of power. But what’s odd is..."
