Chapter 827: The Five Temples' Immortal Brew, Master Shou Yang Mountain (Go BLG!)

After a lengthy conversation with Deng Taiyue, he seemed like a pretty decent person, at least on the surface.

Deng Taiyue, a master of Earth attribute Celestial Essence Root, was extremely proficient in Earth Escape Techniques. With his Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, there were few mountains and rivers in this world that could hinder his path.

During the war between humans and demons, he frequently ventured deep into the Million Mountains to sweep for various rare resources.

He could bring back exotic flowers, high-level mineral veins, and even Demon King pups from the Million Mountains.

Yaosheng had been keeping Deng Taiyue interested with the promise of the Elixir Pill, likely because of his exceptional escape techniques.

While Luo Chen wouldn't stoop to such lowly tactics, if he ever truly needed something, he wouldn't hesitate to ask.

As they left the side hall, the lively discussion in the main hall continued.

Many observant individuals noticed Luo Chen and Deng Taiyue, the latter with a joyful expression.

This scene made many realize that Luo Chen had likely agreed to refine the Elixir Pill for Deng Taiyue.

The Elixir Pill, a pseudo-fifth-rank divine pill from ancient times, was said to grant cultivators a profound realization, allowing them to comprehend the Essence of Law at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Unfortunately, after thousands of years, the pill formula was severely incomplete, and no one had managed to perfect it, let alone refine it.

Could the Alchemy Sect succeed?

Regardless of the outcome, more and more Primordial Spirit True Men were using this opportunity to get close to Luo Chen.

After all, what if? What if he truly refined it? Who wouldn't want to comprehend the Essence of Law ahead of time and have an extra layer of assurance for breaking through to the Divine Transformation Stage?

Luo Chen adeptly handled these people who were trying to get close to him.

When asked to refine pills, he politely declined, citing temporary busyness, but his words left room for future possibilities, stating that he would be willing to refine pills for fellow cultivators when he had the time.

This statement earned him quite a bit of goodwill.

As Luo Chen interacted with these individuals, he also listened to others discussing the current situation in the Eastern Wilderness.

"The three great commanders have been blocking the Ling Tian Pass for some time now. Fortunately, Ling Tian City established the Absolute Spirit Domain as a buffer zone; otherwise, Ling Tian Pass would be in constant battle, and we wouldn't have a moment's peace."

"But this isn't a long-term solution. According to the intelligence gathered by Listening Wind Subduer and his companions, apart from the Cang Wu Mountain route, the other four great commanders have already entered the territories once governed by humans and are getting closer and closer to Ling Tian Pass."

"If they lay siege to the city, can Ling Tian Pass truly withstand them?"

"Indeed, the nine great commanders are all at the Great Cultivator level! Not to mention the other Demon Kings, just the power of these nine demons..."

"Don't underestimate the power of our Ling Tian Pass formation! It's said that Tian Duzi has completely mastered the Xuanwu Four Directions Formation, and with this formation, he alone can stand against thousands of troops. Even against commander-level existences, he can hold off four or five of them!"

"Formations are indeed the crystallization of human wisdom!"

"The Demon Clan has suffered heavy losses from the Xuanwu Four Directions Formation and the Dou Tian Twelve Divine Sha Formation. I heard that in recent years, they've retreated to the rear and started setting up formations near their bases. Some fellow cultivators went to investigate and found something amusing. Apparently, the power of their formations can, at most, withstand the attacks of a few ordinary True Monarchs."

"Don't be too complacent. While Ling Tian Pass is indeed impregnable, in the face of the Demon Clan's vast army, it's nothing more than a stubborn reef. Without enough Great Cultivators to defend it, it will eventually be overwhelmed. When will the Supreme Elders of your sects be willing to come to Ling Tian Pass?"

"It's still early, no need to rush!"

...

Luo Chen observed with a smile, gradually understanding the internal situation of the human clans in the Eastern Wilderness.

Excluding the massive Abyss Sect, the Eastern Wilderness' Nascent Soul Stage sects were actually divided into three levels.

The first level consisted of sects with extremely close ties to the Abyss Sect, such as the Dongyang Sect. These sects were the most ancient, with numerous powerful cultivators within, often dominating a single region.

The second level included ordinary sects that had received their territories and established their legacies since ancient times. This level varied greatly in strength.

Among them were top-tier forces like the Tian Du Sect and the Xu Huang Jiao, which were no less impressive than the Dongyang Sect.

There were also declining sects like the Seven Peaks Mountain and the Taishan Sect, gradually losing their successors and fading into obscurity.

The leaders of these sects had different approaches.

Yaosheng, feeling that his age had dimmed his path, focused his efforts on nurturing the younger generation. Others, like Deng Taiyue, aimed to rely on their own advancement to the Divine Transformation Stage to reverse their sect's decline and restore its former glory.

With different choices came different styles of conduct.

The third level was a bit more complicated to explain.

Over the past three thousand years, numerous new Nascent Soul Stage sects had emerged.

These sects have a deep foundation, but their strength is not profound. They rely on generation after generation of new and powerful cultivators to forge ahead and gradually establish their own territories.

It is this spirit of advancement that has given rise to numerous top-tier cultivators within these new forces.

There are the Divine Essence True Monarch and the Elder of Hehuan.

There are also the Nine Spirit Lord, whose combat strength is exceptional, the Golden Feather True Monarch, the Tyrant Saber Sect Master, and the Pill Emperor of the Medicine King Sect, who is proficient in the Alchemy Way.

There are even younger cultivators like Luo Chen from the Alchemy Sect, Han Zhan from the Falling Cloud Sect, and Lin Qingxuan, the Lone Falcon of the Sword World, from the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

If everything goes as expected, these new forces may surpass the second tier in the future and challenge the oldest sects. It's not impossible that they might even produce a few Divine Transformation Powerhouses.

However, the unexpected invasion of the Demon Clan disrupted many of these aspirations.

The Elder of Hehuan suffered a tragic death, and the Divine Essence True Monarch was severely injured.

A large number of Primordial Spirit True Monarchs became homeless, and many lost their stable cultivation grounds.

Forget about catching up; even preserving themselves became a problem.

That's why the Nine Spirit Lord and his group were so eager to ask those established sects when their strongest members would participate in this great war.

But it's clear that these established sects are very protective of their strength. Unless it's a matter of life and death, they won't easily enter the fray.

Now, sending representatives to Ling Tian Guan is mostly for their own interests.

"The Holy Land stands above all."

"The established sects watch from the sidelines."

"Only we struggle bitterly, not knowing when this great war will end."

"Bitter, sad, and difficult!"

Luo Chen sighed, and his enthusiasm for dealing with others diminished.

Most Primordial Spirit True Monarchs are shrewd, and they naturally noticed Luo Chen's waning enthusiasm, so they didn't bother him for long.

Only Pavilion Master Li from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion chatted with him for a while about the refining of the Imperial Pupil Clear Pupil Liquid.

After the crowd dispersed, Luo Chen poured himself a cup of wine and drank.

The wine melted in his mouth, infused with spiritual energy, and flowed through his five viscera and six entrails, bringing a sense of comfort.

"Not bad, is it?"

The host of this place, Elder Luxiang, sat down in front of Luo Chen with a smile.

"This wine is called the Five Temples Immortal Brew. It's made by the Flowing Cloud True Monarch of the Dieyun Sect using the essence of the Five Elements. It's brewed with five types of spiritual objects and takes a hundred years to make. It's extremely beneficial for the five viscera of our True Monarchs. Every time a new batch is brewed, it's in high demand. The aged brews are designated for the Abyss Sect, and they only keep a small amount within their sect."

Luo Chen carefully examined the spirit wine in his hand and sensed the condition of his five viscera. He couldn't help but show surprise.

Indeed, after this spirit wine was refined, his five viscera did become more vigorous.

Even the bottleneck in his body cultivation, which had been difficult to improve for nearly a hundred years, showed signs of loosening.

This wine is greatly beneficial for body cultivation!

Suddenly, he remembered that the heart of the Lightless Beast was bought by a cultivator from the Dieyun Sect named the Misty Cloud True Monarch, who also said he wanted to use it for brewing.

This Misty Cloud True Monarch must also be from the Dieyun Sect, a fellow disciple of the Flowing Cloud True Monarch.

At that moment, Luo Chen deeply remembered the name of the Dieyun Sect, intending to send people to interact with them more in the future.

Seeing Luo Chen savoring the wine and showing surprise, Elder Luxiang smiled and said, "It seems that you quite like this fine brew. Later, I'll send you a bottle!"

Luo Chen rubbed his hands and said shyly, "I can't accept such a precious thing without offering something in return. It would be embarrassing!"

Elder Luxiang laughed, "It's not that precious, just a hundred-year-old brew. It's far inferior to the Dieyun Sect's thousand-year-old aged wines. Moreover, do you come empty-handed?"

He pointed to the bustling scene inside and transmitted his voice, "Today's grand gathering is largely due to the reputation of your Alchemy Sect."

Luo Chen blinked.

Elder Luxiang nodded, "Indeed, usually when I host a gathering, there are only a few or about ten people. Today, there are more than twenty. Can you guess why they came?"

"And from today's exchanges, it seems that Taiyue True Monarch has reached a cooperation with you?"

"I only hope that in the future, when I invite you, you will come more often, making this Shouyang Mountain's Discourse on the Dao even more prosperous!"

With such high praise and the offer of fine wine, as well as the benefits to himself, how could Luo Chen refuse?

He understood that Elder Luxiang was putting in a lot of effort to hold these exchanges on Shouyang Mountain to broaden his connections.

Luo Chen's reputation was like a good banner for Elder Luxiang, attracting more people to participate.

So, this was a win-win situation! Luo Chen agreed.

...

The peaceful night passed, and dawn approached.

Breathing the cool morning air, streams of light, like fireflies, flew out from Shouyang Mountain, heading towards various places within Ling Tian Guan.

This gathering didn't last long, only a little over two days.

It was far from Elder Luxiang's expectations.

If circumstances permitted, this Shouyang Summit would require more than just two days, from the invitations and arrival to the summit itself, to fully realize its potential influence.

It's too rushed!

At the very least, it would take a month to maximize the impact of such a high-level gathering.

Unfortunately, the current situation is not conducive to his vision.

However, Elder Lu was also satisfied with the recent event, as many powerful cultivators attended, including experts from the Alchemy Sect, Yaosheng, Master Fu, and Qin Bai Xiang, all of whom were proficient in various cultivation arts.

The foundation has been laid, and it can be gradually expanded in the future.

As the organizer, he will have access to a vast network of connections, which he can leverage to his advantage. If utilized properly, it would benefit not only him but also the entire Dongyang Sect.

After leaving Shouyang Mountain, Luo Chen did not return directly to his cave abode in the Western City but first went to the Luo Tianbao Pavilion.

It was just after opening hours, and Hui Nang and Cai Yi were busy.

Seeing Luo Chen, Hui Nang asked with a smile, "Have you just returned from the Shouyang Mountain gathering?"

Shouyang Mountain?

Luo Chen was taken aback, but he quickly realized that this might be an honorific title for Elder Lu.

But why is it named after 'Shouyang'? The next moment, he suddenly understood!

This title is likely due to the summit being held at Shouyang Mountain. The other party has only been in Ling Tian Guan for a few years, without any significant battles or sacrifices, yet they have easily established a reputation.

In comparison, the reputation of the Alchemy Sect has been built step by step, starting from the Foundation Establishment stage.

"I've been too narrow-minded, focusing on personal reputation to expand my network, which is too slow and not very effective. How can it compare to Elder Lu's platform-building approach, which is much faster?"

"This individual approach is no match for platform building!"

Luo Chen sighed inwardly and chatted with Hui Nang for a while.

Then, he took Cai Yi to a secret room for a private conversation.

Hui Nang was curious about this, but she didn't pry, as she was always generous and didn't think Luo Chen would have any ulterior motives.

However, Cai Yi, upon entering the room, was a bit jealous when she heard Luo Chen's first question.

"Has Tian Shan Zhenren replied from Zhongzhou?"

What could Tian Shan Zhenren's reply be about? It must be about the spiritual gu on Sima Hui Nang's body! Cai Yi shook her head, "The cultivator from Tian Yuan Merchant Alliance told me that Tian Shan Zhenren has been assigned to work in the South Border and is currently out of contact."

So he's been sent out on a mission!

Luo Chen nodded, but he soon sensed something amiss.

"The South Border, isn't that the North Sea?"

Cai Yi was perplexed, "I don't know either, the cultivator from Tian Yuan Merchant Alliance explained it this way."

Luo Chen frowned deeply, wondering how soon after entering the Star Gate Tian Shan Zhenren was assigned a mission?

Moreover, it's the South Border, not the North Sea, which is currently in turmoil!

Could it be that Tian Yuan Dao Zong's intentions extend beyond the North Sea, and they also have their eyes on the South Border? Cai Yi couldn't answer his questions.

So he temporarily set aside this topic and directly stated his purpose.

"Are the items I requested from the Tian Yuan Merchant Alliance ready?"

Cai Yi nodded and took out two storage bags.

She explained, "This bag contains the Genuine Essence Pill, and it's of high quality, extracted from the best sources. It was obtained through Master Gu's connections at a hefty price."

"This other bag contains the ingredients for the Imperial Pupil Liquid, especially the eyes of the Ink Ink Demon and the Thousand-Eyed Squid, which took a lot of effort to meet your required quantity."

Luo Chen took the two bags and carefully inspected them, finally showing satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Cai Yi shook her head, "It's not hard work for you, it's what I should do."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Let's go out first, we don't want to keep Hui Nang waiting too long."

"Mhm."

That day, Luo Chen spent a long time at the Luo Tianbao Pavilion.

He occasionally appeared in front of customers to maintain his presence.

He also placed some low-level pills he had refined in his free time on the shelves.

At sunset, he finally returned to his cave abode with the two women.

The next morning, after a warm breakfast, the two women gradually left.

With a clear mind, Luo Chen headed to the alchemy chamber.

"Pavilion Master Li must have been waiting for a long time, so let's start refining the Imperial Pupil Liquid!"

He spoke without a trace of worry, instead appearing relaxed.

It was evident that refining the Imperial Pupil Liquid was not as difficult as he had initially claimed.

He spat out a stream of light, which spun in the air for a moment before falling onto the specially prepared Earth Fire pit.

At some point, the Crimson Dog Puppet had silently appeared beside Luo Chen.

"Let's begin!"
