Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 908: Chapter 372: Myriads of Glint, The Mayfly World

Half a month later.

Outside the Golden Sand Floating Island.

Luo Chen, gazing at the boundless yellow sands beyond the island, which even his Spirit Vision couldn’t fully encompass, couldn’t help but reveal a trace of melancholy in his eyes.

This seemingly tranquil desert wastes devours the lives of countless cultivators every day.

Tomorrow, it will be my turn to step onto the battlefield.

As he was reflecting, footsteps approached from behind.

...

“President, Yuan Xiaoyue and the others are ready,” came a voice.

Luo Chen turned around to see cultivators under the leadership of Yuan Xiaoyue and Qin Liangchen boarding the Langqi Flying Boat.

Li Yingzhang stood at his side. Three days ago, Luo Chen had completely eliminated all traces of Earth Fire Evil Qi from his body.

Although his foundation was slightly damaged, it posed no issue for his normal cultivation activities.

“Be very careful along the way, and make good use of the head of the Foundation Establishment Stage Calamity Cultivator,” Luo Chen advised.

“Yes, I understand,” Li Yingzhang acknowledged.

“When you return, follow the medicine recipes prescribed by the doctor from Qingdan Valley and take ten more batches of the medicine. Although you seem healed now, some damage caused by the infiltration of Evil Qi cannot be resolved by my techniques alone and has to rely on those medicine recipes,” Luo Chen continued.

“Thank you for your concern, President. I will keep it firmly in mind,” Li Yingzhang responded with gratitude.

“Regarding the issues with the Luo Tian Creed… just follow the President’s orders, I trust her with these matters!” Luo Chen said confidently.

Li Yingzhang nodded firmly.

He had etched every single word of Luo Chen deep in his heart.

Finally!

“If there’s a chance, I will certainly retrieve your Li Family’s Chi Dragon Sword,” Luo Chen smiled and said.

Li Yingzhang hurriedly shook his head, “President, your gifting me with the Jiuchuan Spirit King is already a grace as immense as the heavens, I dare not covet more. President, you need not take such risks on my account.”

Luo Chen smiled and said nothing more.

The Chi Dragon Sword was not like other Magic Items.

It was not just the Li Family’s hereditary Magic Item, but also the sword carried by his old friend Li Jinhuang during his life.

Without an opportunity, there was nothing to be done.

But if an opportunity arose, he would try to retrieve it no matter what.

“All right, get on the boat, they are all waiting for you,” Luo Chen prompted.

Li Yingzhang looked up to see the Langqi Flying Boat slowly starting, with a Spirit Qi Light Shield gradually spreading over the hull.

Due to carrying a massive amount of materials on the way here, the Flying Boat had been huge and flown extremely slowly.

On the return journey, however, it was now mostly empty.

It carried only some precious materials gathered by Yuan Xiaoyue from the Ice Castle, ready to be taken back and sold in Tian Lan Immortal City.

One couldn’t just run an empty boat on the way back, right?

Thus, the size of the Flying Boat shrank to ten zhang in length on the return trip, barely the size of an Ascendant Grade Flying Boat.

At this size, the speed of flight was optimal!

Should it encounter an unstoppable enemy, it could also flee faster.

Li Yingzhang leaped up and boarded the Flying Boat.

He turned to look back at Luo Chen, together with Qin Liangchen and Yuan Xiaoyue.

“President, see you next year!” Qin Liangchen shouted.

“President, you must stay safe!” Yuan Xiaoyue waved her hand, bidding farewell.

Luo Chen said nothing.

He simply nodded at them.

Under his watchful gaze, the Langqi Flying Boat slowly took off.

And then, it left the Ten Thousand Li of Yellow Sands region.

In his sight, the massive Flying Boat gradually shrank to a tiny black dot, until Luo Chen could no longer see it.

A sense of loss flooded his heart.

Luo Chen turned around and walked slowly back along the street.

When he reached the center of the floating island, he stopped.

There, in the circular plaza, stood a huge white monolith with lines of golden text emerging on its surface.

The Merit List!

The cultivators of the Four Sects were not included on it, as they had their own system for calculating merits.

This monolith mainly recorded the merits earned by the vassal forces under their command and some Rogue Cultivators on the battlefield.

Thus, the main entries were either the names of forces or individual Rogue Cultivators.

This merit wasn’t just for show or reputation; it had actual practical use!

One could use their merits to exchange for corresponding resources and precious items at the Luo Yun Sect, the leader of the Four Sects Alliance!

For instance, the First Order Spirit Pill urgently needed by Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators, or the precious Foundation Establishment Pill.

There were many other valuable Elixirs available for exchange as well.

At least Luo Chen had seen on the list a Medium Grade Bright Containing Pill suitable for his own cultivation. It was said to be a specialty Cultivation Pill of the Luo Yun Sect, with potency not inferior to Second Order Pills from the Medicine King Sect and Qingdan Valley, personally refined by Fairy Mu Yunyan, the chief Pill Master of the Luo Yun Sect.

Such a Medium Grade Second Order Cultivation Pill was extremely tempting for an ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!

But for the moment, Luo Chen had no interest in it.

The Ascendant Grade Rising Dragon Pill provided by Tao Wen from Qingdan Valley was still being supplied to him steadily.

Without developing a resistance to the pill, Luo Chen had no intention of changing his primary Elixir for cultivation.

Aside from Elixirs, the Four Sects Alliance offered many other resources.

Magical Weapons and Treasures, Talisman Spirit Medicines, Secret Cultivation Methods, and most coveted of all, Luo Yun Sect Puppets!

Even Third Order Puppets were available for exchange to those of corresponding rank!

If one could exchange for such treasures, they could indeed strut around confidently within the Foundation Establishment Stage.

It was precisely because of so many desirable items listed that the rankings on the Merit List could not be used to gauge who had earned the most merit.

Simply put, the vassals of each Sect were worried that the listed resources were limited.

Therefore, they often exchanged any merits earned as soon as possible, to avoid having merit points without access to the resources they desired.

The Luo Tian Creed was no exception!

In the past two years, all the merits they had earned were exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills!

A total of three were obtained!
