Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2035: Chapter 747: Heaven and Earth Peak Opens, Cultivators Gather. The Alchemy Saint Ascends, Mountain Sea Celebrates!

True Master Qideng shook his head, ”Expel them.”

”Expel them?” Luo Chen was stunned.

True Master Qideng pursed his lips, ”Didn’t you see that Lin Family brat when you returned?”

”You mean Lin Bufan?”

”Yes, that kid lingered on the Heaven and Earth Peak for half a year, which is against the rules, so I had to expel him.”

”Oh.”

Luo Chen nodded. Although he didn’t understand why Lin Bufan was lingering on Heaven and Earth Peak, it at least explained how he ended up leaving the peak at this time.

Since they met, some small talk was inevitable.

Luo Chen simply stopped to chat with True Master Qideng.

Unexpectedly, this idle conversation revealed some insider information to him.

The time was approximately half a year later.

The place was Heaven and Earth Peak, right at the square beneath Luo Chen’s feet now.

The person was Alchemy Saint Chu Yan!

”At that time, the Twelve Great Houses of Zhongzhou, the Thirty-Six Noble Clans, will all be present to spectate, with countless Han Gate representatives arriving to pay their respects. There will also be strong figures from the Four Continents attending to see off the Alchemy Saint.”

”Our many experts on Heaven and Earth Peak will make an appearance except for those who are away.”

”I’ve heard that you’ll be acting as the Protector to enter Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, so it’s best for you to be on site at that time.”

Luo Chen was shocked at how fast time flew and was also curious why it was better for him to be on-site?

To this, Elder Qideng only gave a slight smile.

”I’ve only been on Heaven and Earth Peak for three hundred years, and I haven’t witnessed the last opening of Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven. But that’s how the ancient books record it; I think the Fu Family Master will notify you in due course.”

Luo Chen returned to Cave Mansion Number Seventy-Eight with a sense of puzzlement.

He was very curious about the connection between the Alchemy Saint’s Ascension Ceremony and the opening of Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, but as an External Affairs Guest Elder, he didn’t even have the authority to consult related ancient books, so he had to give up.

In the upcoming days, Luo Chen did not plan to go out anymore.

Not only because he was not interested in the bustle, but also to avoid getting involved in unnecessary disputes.

He went out only today and attracted a probe from Qi Xiongcheng, which was definitely not a rash move in anger over him seizing the Protector identity!

To him, it was more likely a secret gesture from Shi Ju.

Similar situations would likely arise, especially as the competition approached, with other family disciples having the same idea.

After all, the information about their opponents remained in writing, and if there’s a chance to probe in person, no one would want to miss it.

In this context, maintaining a certain level of mystery about oneself is more advantageous for future actions.

Luo Chen’s plan was to proceed step-by-step as before.

In the absence of regular cultivation, he would increase his proficiency in Hong Yuan Pill and Great Soul Pill to the Grandmaster level.

The latter goal had already been achieved.

Then he could take the Ascendant Grade Great Soul Pill to promote the elevation of his soul-splitting.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen was also keeping a constant watch on the changes of his Original Source True Fire. The Prosperity and Decline True Fire was moving toward withering and decline, according to the timeline, it should be completing the step of prosperity leading to decay soon.

...

As Luo Chen predicted, as the competition time approached, the investigation of intelligence on the contestants became more intense.

Particularly for intelligence on the protectors of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s competing disciples!

Among these protectors, Luo Chen was the most inconspicuous, yet also the most striking!

Inconspicuous, because he had the least information available, his rise was too recent, and the major families hadn’t had time to collect intelligence on him.

Striking, because of his status as a Rogue Cultivator.

Other protectors were either deeply-rooted large family servants or renowned strong figures invited externally by major forces, but Luo Chen alone had no solid background as a Rogue Cultivator.
