Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 681: Chapter 281: Foundation Establishment melee, Magic Item exchange blows, Danxia formation rises, Seven-color spear_3

It was an armor made of hard skin fused with unknown black and gray substances.

More importantly, overhead, a thick cloud of blood qi, resembling wolf smoke, abruptly rose into the air.

Blood River Realm!

He was also a cultivator at the Second Realm of Body Refinement!

At this moment, Wang Yuan’s eyes lit up.

“Your Body Refinement Method is interesting; I like it quite a lot!”

The next moment!

He reversed his thumb and firmly pressed it at his heart area.

The astonishing blood qi accumulated around his heart suddenly diffused, spreading throughout his body.

Similarly, another thick cloud of blood qi, resembling wolf smoke, began to ascend.

Moreover, his body started expanding continuously.

In the blink of an eye, he had grown to a height of five meters, transforming into a giant.

Now, he no longer had to look up at Lu Rong; instead, he was able to look at him eye-to-eye.

“It is rare to meet a fellow practitioner. We can have a clean fight now,”

“I will grant you the most honourable death!”

Facing the giant before him, Lu Rong, who had always taken pride in his Body Refinement, suddenly felt a tinge of unease.

However, with the enemy right before him,

and the gaze from Danxia Peak that made him uncomfortable looming over him, he felt as if he was under constant scrutiny and threat.

It was as if, whether he chose to advance or retreat, a massive attack from Danxia Peak would strike him down.

“I didn’t realize that earlier; how come there is still a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator at Danxia Peak?”

“Did Luo Chen go to the funeral without bringing a single Foundation Establishment subordinate with him?”

“Should I engage in combat or retreat now?”

While he was wrestling with the decision,

a fierce punch came flying his way.

Even more, a stern voice echoed in his ears.

“You’re wavering, unsure of what to do, what kind of body have you refined?”

“Die!”

…

Outside Danxia Peak.

The once dwindling Purple Bamboo Forest, after the Luo Tian Creed moved in, was back to its original size.

The dense Purple Lan Bamboo was growing well, spreading its branches and leaves freely.

One could imagine, by the end of the year, the Luo Tian Creed would reap a rich harvest when they collect these bamboo plants.

No rogue cultivator would dare to damage the Purple Lan Bamboo as they did before.

Doing so would mean provoking the Luo Tian Creed.

At this moment.

Three different battles taking place outside Danxia Peak were intense.

However, inside the Purple Bamboo Forest, two figures came walking arm in arm.

Both had concealed their Spirit Qi fluctuations, but if any nearby Rogue Cultivator were there, they would definitively recognize their identities.

The Geng siblings, two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!

“Big brother, shouldn’t we go help our friend Lu?”

“Help him for what? Shuzhen, remember this guy once hit on you.” Geng Lie took the lead, and he seemed to have zero interest in the distant battlefield.

His younger sister, Geng Shuzhen, timidly followed behind him.

“I only feel that since our two groups joined forces against the Luo Tian Creed, we should not abandon them.”

“Join forces?”

Geng Lie chuckled coldly, “They are just planning to make a hit and run, while our Geng Family has to develop this area in the long run. We can’t afford to get caught up in the past.”

“Our goal for today is to invade Danxia Peak and destroy the foundations of the Luo Tian Creed!”

Even though she was well aware of her brother’s resolve, Geng Shuzhen still found it hard to accept.

Over the years, she had been interacting with Sima Huiniang quite frequently.

The relationship between them had been excellent so far.

Had it not been for her, Sima Huiniang, still being at the Qi Refinement stage, they could have been considered sworn sisters.

The betrayal of the Geng family, at this point, was something she found too hard to accept.

“Big Brother, Didn’t we resolve our disputes with the Luo Tian Creed and agree to operate the Biyou Valley market jointly?”

Geng Lie halted suddenly.

Turning his head sideways, he stared at his sister.

“Who told you we’ve resolved our disputes?”

“This so-called cooperation is nothing more than charity from the Luo Tian Creed!”

“Besides, Biyou Valley has been abandoned for many years. It only started developing thanks to the hard work of the Geng Family, but then the Luo Tian Creed swooped in and claimed all the rewards!”

“Today, we’ve come to reclaim what rightfully belongs to us!”

Geng Shuzhen was lost for words.

However, thinking of the cryptic sayings that Sima Huiniang occasionally hinted at, she still remained very worried.

“Big Brother, the Luo Tian Creed is backed by the Ice Castle. If we destroy their foundation, we might face serious trouble!”

“The Ice Castle? The Immortal City is about to change hands soon. At that time, most of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the Ice Castle will return to their sects. Who would then care for the insignificant Luo Tian Creed?”

Geng Lie resumed walking, laughing scornfully.

“Moreover, doesn’t our Geng Family have connections with the Ailao Mountain? If necessary, we can spend some resources to have the cultivators of Ailao Mountain negotiate with the Ice Castle for us, asking them to let bygones be bygones.”

Upon hearing this, Geng Shuzhen felt relieved.

However, the high regard that Sima Huiniang had for the leader of the Luo Tian Creed was still fresh in her mind.

“That leader of the Luo Tian Creed, how would we deal with him at that time?”

“There is no need to deal with him!”

Geng Lie didn’t take Luo Chen seriously.

“The Luo Tian Creed will be destroyed by me today, and Luo Chen will die at the Qin Flower River. This is a promise I got from the Three Brothers of the Hu Family.”

“But the Hu Family has had conflicts with us before. Can we trust their words?”

“We can’t believe everything they say, but I have promised Dan Yuanzi that I will regularly purchase elixirs from his Dan Yuan Sect in the future. With these benefits at stake, Dan Yuanzi will certainly not let Luo Chen come back alive.”

Upon hearing that Dan Yuanzi would take action, Geng Shuzhen showed a shocked expression on her face.

He was a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment powerhouse!

If he takes action, no matter how highly Sima Huiniang spoke of Luo Chen, he most likely won’t be able to escape his doom!

No wonder her big brother was so confident and composed in his actions.

At this moment, she heard her elder brother Geng Lie questioning her.

“Shuzhen, is it because of Sima Huiniang that you are having sympathy for this Luo Tian Creed?”

Geng Shuzhen lowered her head, admitting to this train of thought.

Geng Lie sighed, his voice tinged with melancholy. “You are too kind, and you don’t fully understand Sima Huiniang’s cunning intentions.”
