Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster - Chapter 517: 221: Qingdan Valley, Yuan Zhao's Past, Tao Family's Foundation Establishment_2

Chapter 517: Chapter 221: Qingdan Valley, Yuan Zhao’s Past, Tao Family’s Foundation Establishment_2

Is it that simple?

…

A cultivation insight exchange meeting had started in Zhai Xing Tower.

It lasted an entire day.

After the exchange, Tao Yisheng left satisfied.

The remaining three were also quite pleased.

At such an exchange meeting, it’s not possible to talk about cultivation experience all the time.

During the meeting, the three asked Tao Yisheng about many trivial matters.

It seemed complicated, but when consolidated, it already provided a general understanding of the present situation around here and even the state of Tian Lan Immortal City.

Overall, everything was stable.

The war between the two Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects started with probing and continued for six years, until it completely broke out.

Logically speaking, this duration should have been enough for the two great sects to fight out all their strengths and determine the winner.

However, for some unknown reason, the situation took a sudden turn a year ago.

Instead of confronting each other head-on, it turned into a stalemate.

During this stalemate, the two Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects began drawing in the other sects from the Yu Ding Realm.

Ailao Mountain was the first to lean toward the Luo Yun Sect, followed by Qingdan Valley.

The Yu Ding Sword Sect was also not idle and immediately chose to attach themselves to the Flame Alliance, with whom they had cooperated often.

Instigated by the Yu Ding Sword Sect, the Flame Alliance took a heavy hit on Qingdan Valley, resulting in a local war that was quite intense.

Moreover, the Sword Sect was also actively drawing in the Ice Castle, located in an extremely cold place, and the neutral Hundred Flowers Palace.

After this whole process,

Does it seem chaotic?

It’s indeed chaotic, but for the Tian Lan Immortal City, it’s a very stable situation.

Because this large Immortal City was built with the joint funds of the Seven Sects.

Even if they were at a stand-off, they still maintain a tacit agreement to try to avoid affecting the Immortal City as much as possible.

“In this case, it seems like us going to Tian Lan Immortal City is the best choice,” Nangong Jin said thoughtfully.

Li Yixian nodded, looking at Luo Chen with admiration.

“You have a great foresight, Luo Chen. You chose the right place from the beginning.”

Luo Chen remained silent.

He was not as optimistic as the other two.

This stability was merely a sign before the storm.

If the Ice Castle and the Hundred Flowers Palace were to get fully involved,

Then the Tian Lan Immortal City would probably also get dragged into it.

Moreover,

Below the seemingly stable surface, who knew what kind of undercurrent was lurking?

If they dive into it…..

Shaking his head, Luo Chen firmly said, “Rest for two days, then we’ll head straight to the Tian Lan Immortal City!”

No matter how the situation changes.

The Tian Lan Immortal City is definitely a must-go.

All the high-level spirit lands in the Yu Ding Realm are claimed.

Don’t you see, the small second-order Spirit Vein in Taishan District has already been divided among two clans.

Only in a big Immortal City, where rogue cultivators gather, can one find high-level Spirit Veins available for rent.

Once there, only then could he continue cultivating.

However…..

“Two days? Why so long?” Nangong Jin was somewhat discontented.

He now wanted to reach the Tian Lan Immortal City more than anybody else.

Unlike Luo Chen and Li Yixian, he was currently injured.

He urgently needed a piece of Spirit Vein Land to heal his injuries.

“Firstly, I need to make sure my external affairs are in order. I must visit home.”

This was very normal.

If he said he wouldn’t do it, it would raise suspicion instead.

Luo Chen turned his gaze to Li Yixian.

“Secondly, there are too many mortal people in the Li Family. It severely affects our actions. If something happens once we reach the Tian Lan Immortal City, those mortal people would become burdens.”

Li Yixian opened his mouth, but he couldn’t refute this.

“My suggestion is, in these two days, you discuss with Tao Yisheng and see if we can settle some of the mortals in the Yuanzhao Kingdom.”

“Friend Li, you don’t have to worry too much. This place is not far from the Tian Lan Immortal City.”

“Once they are settled, you can fully move your clan members later.”

Li Yixian hesitated.

Looking at Nangong Jin, he also agreed.

It seems those mortal people were indeed dragging everyone down.

She gritted her teeth, “Let’s do as Friend suggested then!”

…

Early the next morning,

A Glint shot out of the Yuanzhao Kingdom palace, heading southeast.

Return home?

On the white clouds, Luo Chen shook his head.

He had no home to return to!

Although the original soul could not be considered an orphan, he was indeed bereft of kin.

He didn’t intend to distress himself by searching for relatives through blood ties.

His target was a barren mountain located outside Bai Xiu District, the place where his original body had found an opportunity years ago.

“An external sect disciple of the Medicine King Sect mysteriously died in the Yu Ding Realm, in an obscure mountain wilderness.”

“At first, it seemed quite natural, but now, the more I think about it, the stranger it seems.”

“Moreover, Tao Yisheng mentioned last night that the Qingdan Valley cultivators who are stationed here are not absolutely safe either. They were attacked by rogue cultivators twenty years ago.”

Twenty years ago…

Luo Chen savoured this time frame thoughtfully.

His figure paused.

He stopped in a large barren mountain.

Looking around with spirit vision, he released his spirit consciousness.

Following the remaining memories, Luo Chen very quickly found his destination.

With a leap, he arrived midway up the mountain.

Pulling aside the dense wild vines growing in profusion, he step into a cave.

A mound of earth came strikingly into view.

Looking at this mound, Luo Chen seemed to see his original body, at seventeen years old, bury the body of the old cultivator here.

“Sorry about this!”

With a wave of his hand, he opened the mound.

He looked carefully, but found nothing, no skeletal remains could be seen.

Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

“Interesting, very interesting!”

Luo Chen smiled faintly, restored the mound, turned around and left.

…

Zhai Xing Tower.

Three flying boats radiated spirit light and slowly hovered up into the air.

Tao Yisheng laughed heartily as he saw off the three of them one by one.

“Friend Nangong, thank you for your frank advice, you’ve saved me from going around in circles!”

Nangong Jin coughed lightly, shaking his head and saying, “It’s nothing compared to your golden words of wisdom. As the head of a great sect, you resolved my doubts in a few words. Once I’ve recovered from my injuries, I expect I will break through to the third level of Foundation Establishment.”

“You flatter me! These are merely words passed down from previous generations!”

Li Yixian reluctantly looked at the three ordinary people before her, each of them was robust and healthy.

If they were to learn a little bit of worldly martial arts, they could certainly earn the title of innate masters.

Gritting her teeth, she turned around and paid her respects to Tao Yisheng.

“Friend Tao, I’m entrusting these clansmen to you.”

“Not a problem! Not a problem!

Tao Yisheng returned the courtesy, “Their expertise in raising dragon horses will certainly be welcomed by the Royal Family of Yuanzhao Kingdom.”

After he had finished speaking,

Tao Yisheng approached Luo Chen,

“Friend, your attainment in the Dao of alchemy is unparalleled among your peers. Even when compared with the elders within our sect, it is not far behind. I regret that I don’t have the opportunity to discuss alchemy with you day and night.”

Luo Chen smiled faintly.

After getting to know Tao Yisheng, he found him quite enthusiastic.

He was even becoming more skilled at making small talk.

He modestly replied, “These are just a few minor skills of mine, nothing compared to the great sect of the golden core that produces alchemy masters one after another.”

“Oh, you’re too modest, Friend!”

Tao Yisheng’s eyes were bright. He treated Luo Chen much more warmly than the other two.

“In a few years, when my mission here comes to an end, I will definitely come to Tian Lan Immortal City to find you.”

“I will welcome you with open arms, ready with good wine!”

“Take care on your journey.”

“Until we meet again!”

“Until we meet again!”

“Until we meet again!”

Tao Yisheng stood on the Zhai Xing Tower, watching the three flying boats gradually disappear into the horizon under the rolling clouds.

Behind him,

A disciple from Qingdan Valley came up to his side.

“Uncle, why are you being so polite to the three rogue cultivators?”

“Rogue cultivators?” Tao Yisheng shook his head, “They are not ordinary rogue cultivators.”

The disciple paused.

In front of the great Golden Core sect, what difference was there between rogue cultivator gangs, foundation establishment cultivator clans, and rogue cultivators?

Tao Yisheng snorted, his spirit high, “You don’t understand!”

“Now that our Qingdan Valley has become involved in the conflict of the ascendant sects, the slightest mistake could lead to death. I made friends with these three, hoping to gain some outside support.”

“Also, my sister is currently vying for the position of seed cultivator. Who knows, Dan Chenzi and the others might be able to help her a little!”

Thinking of Tao Yisheng’s sister,

The disciple suddenly had an epiphany.

He said with exclamation, “The unity between you two siblings will surely enable you to restore the glory of the Tao Family within Qingdan Valley!”

Tao Yisheng smiled complacently,

“Whatever I have achieved today is all thanks to my sister’s support, naturally, I have to do my part for her!”
