Chapter 2148: Chapter 789: Alchemy Concoction Grandmaster, Expanding Connections
After the earlier little episode, the atmosphere in the hall eased up.
Today’s Nascent Soul Formation ceremony is different from ordinary ones right from the start.
Luo Chen formed his Nascent Soul decades ago, and it wasn’t even in the Eastern Wasteland, so there’s no talk of fellow practitioners coming to congratulate.
The event today isn’t grand either, not something the whole sect would celebrate.
The True Masters who came didn’t bring any young disciples to listen to Luo Chen’s teachings.
Clearly, everyone understood the purpose behind Luo Chen’s deliberate hosting of this Nascent Soul Formation ceremony.
He wanted to network!
Due to the phrase on the invitation, "[able to refine a hundred pills, proficient in all aspects]", allies from the Five Domains were willing to give him this courtesy.
But this courtesy was granted by others.
After that incident with Jin Ling, not only was Luo Chen’s momentum not suppressed, it actually rose further.
At this moment, he no longer needed anyone to give him face; with his own strength alone, he could fully establish himself in the Eastern Wasteland!
Of course, Luo Chen never liked fighting, he’s not a belligerent person.
"You all might think that what I said on the invitation was somewhat exaggerated."
"I am not angry, after all, those words do indeed sound arrogant."
"But excessive humility is also arrogance. I do have some pride and confidence in the Dao of Alchemy."
"Everyone, please witness it!"
When Luo Chen took the initiative to mention matters of the Dao of Alchemy, everyone’s attention converged onto him.
After a bit of self-boasting, Luo Chen directly presented evidence to prove his level in the Dao of Alchemy.
One after another, Hong Yuan Pills of Ascendant Grade fell in front of everyone as his mind commanded.
In an instant, everyone held the elixir pills, their expressions showing shock.
"This pill fragrance is so dense, and the potency contained within is so immense!"
"Fourth Order, Ascendant Grade!"
"True Master Luo, did you refine this?"
"Was it a fortunate opportunity, or..."
Facing each question, Luo Chen answered with a smile.
And when asked if he could steadily refine Fourth Order Ascendant Grade Pills, he didn’t entirely admit it, but he did express a strong confidence in his pill completion rate and quality.
Lingtian, the City Lord from Dark Abyss Sect, held the Hong Yuan Pill with an incredulous expression.
Fourth Order Elixir, Ascendant Grade?
Even back then, the Alchemy Saint was only just so!
He remembered clearly that Chu Yan initially couldn’t steadily produce Fourth Order Ascendant Grade Pills, only with good luck could she occasionally refine Ascendant Grade ones.
Until later, she fortuitously refined a furnace of Fifth Order Divine Pill, earning the title of Alchemy Saint, and only then could she steadily produce Fourth Order Ascendant Grade Pills with an elevated state and level.
In other words, Luo Chen’s current pill refining level is almost equivalent to Chu Yan’s final Alchemy Saint stage in the Eastern Wasteland?
Even if he hasn’t yet refined a Fifth Order Divine Pill, and cannot be called an Alchemy Saint in such extreme terms, a title of Grandmaster of Alchemy Dao is absolutely not false!
How could such existence be made a pawn of Tianyuan, Guest Elder of Star Gate!
Lingtian City Lord couldn’t help but look up at Luo Chen.
Facing the astonished, reverent, and incredulous gazes, Luo Chen accepted them calmly.
Conceal talent?
No need!
In front of colossal entities like Divine Transformation Holy Land, there’s even less need to conceal talent!
If they act unreasonably and crush you directly, wouldn’t that be quite humorous.
Only by demonstrating sufficient value can the superior pay attention, peers flatter and compliment, and inferiors look up and admire.
And this value is what benefits others.
In the midst of turmoil, Fourth Order Elixirs that can steadily enhance the strength of Nascent Soul True Masters are undoubtedly the most beneficial and valuable.
"These pills are not suitable for you, they’re just elixirs for my own personal cultivation."
"But my Dao of Alchemy has already reached the Completion Stage, as long as there’s a complete Pill Formula, sufficient raw materials, and enough time given, refining them is no difficult task."
Luo Chen spoke lightly, as if talking about something trivial.
Yet the content of his words stirred a huge wave in everyone’s hearts.
Immediately, someone eagerly asked.
"Can Fourth Order be refined?"
Luo Chen glanced at the questioner with a gourd bun atop their head, wearing a Flowing Wind Robe, exuding an ethereal aura—Supreme Ling Fengzi of Piaomiao Sect.
Luo Chen nodded lightly, "Yes!"
Ling Fengzi rejoiced!
Then someone else asked again.
"Can a Breakthrough Elixir be refined?"
This time, it was Elder Fu who inquired.
His eyes showed keen urgency.
Shen Fu Sect once rivaled the Medicine King Sect in wealth within the Six Realms of the Far East.
But later, Medicine King Sect sped ahead, leaving Shen Fu Sect behind, even Tian Fan City surpassed Shen Fu Sect.
The reason for all this was Shen Fu Sect’s shortage of talented individuals.
Elder Fu was already nine hundred years old!
The formation of his Nascent Soul happened five hundred years ago!
For a full five hundred years, Shen Fu Sect hadn’t seen a second Nascent Soul True Master.
This not only hindered Shen Fu Sect’s development but also caused it to gradually decline.
If not for Elder Fu’s wisdom and caution in retreating, they might have been destroyed in sect rivalries and demon beast ravages, leaving the sect in ruin.
The intention behind his question was obvious.
Facing that eager gaze, the corners of Luo Chen’s mouth slightly lifted.
"Also possible!"
Thud!
A sudden sound of a knock on the table was heard.
Luo Chen glanced sideways; Lingtian City Lord’s slightly disoriented right hand rested on the table, his expression a bit complex.
Everyone saw this scene, but no one paid attention to this scene.
They cared more about the truth of Luo Chen’s words.
Jiuling Yuanjun suddenly stood up, "Friend Luo, for an incomplete Fourth Order Pill Formula, can you refine it into a pill?"
Luo Chen laughed freely, "If I haven’t seen it, I dare not boast. But if I manage to refine it, then that’s another price, Yuan Jun might want to consider it thoroughly."
