Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 418 A visitor is coming, a friend is about to leave

 “Han Zheng Baishan?”

 In the Jiasan Cave Mansion, Luo Chen asked doubtfully.

Opposite him stood a rough-looking man—Xing Zonghan.

The former head of the Xing family, now the leader of the Luo Tianhui intelligence department.

He said respectfully: "The person who comes here calls himself Han Zheng, and his identity should be true. After all, no one dares to pretend to be the grandson of Zhenren Yuanying."

Luo Chen frowned, "Why is it so sudden? I didn't even send a greeting note in advance."

 For exchanges and visits between monks, appointments must be made in advance.

 Otherwise, if someone is in seclusion and visits rashly, he will either return without success or disturb the other person's cultivation, which is extremely impolite.

Like Han Zheng, visiting relatives and friends hurriedly is no different from visiting relatives and friends in the secular world.

 No wonder Luo Chen was so stunned.

However, after Xing Zonghan explained, he figured out the reason why the other party was so casual.

 “Qin Yuanjiang is here!”

 The arrival of Qin Yuanjiang can explain the reason why Han Zheng came to the door so casually.

 Because I really came back to visit my relatives!

Then Han Zheng must have been bored and stopped by for a visit.

 “Did you mention specifically that you wanted to see me?”

Luo Chenduo asked another question.

Whether the other party is visiting for a purpose depends on the answer to this sentence.

If you specifically wanted to see Luo Chen, then this visit would be worth pondering.

Xing Zonghan replied: "I mentioned that I wanted to see you, President, but after hearing that you were in seclusion, he didn't force it."

 Luo Chen frowned slightly.

 For a moment, he really couldn't tell what Han Zheng's intention was.

 Accompanying junior brother, take a look around?

 Still doubting that Luo Chen was the mysterious man who rescued him in the ruins of the Transformation God?

 Perhaps, do you have other needs?

“Oh, by the way, in fact, Han Zheng and Qin Yuanjiang are not the only ones who came to Tianlan Immortal City this time. There are also more than a dozen foundation-building disciples of Luoyun Sect, many of whom are true disciples.”

 After saying this, Xing Zonghan looked at Luo Chen.

“President, do you want to go out of seclusion to see Han Zheng?”

 Facing this problem.

Luo Chen walked to the gate of the cave, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, overlooking the entire Tianlan Fairy City.

After pondering for a long time, he nodded slowly and said:

 “A trip out of customs is a must.”

"But meeting Han Zheng is the second most important thing, and Qin Yuanjiang's side is the most important."

Xing Zonghan was puzzled.

Qin Yuanjiang is just an ordinary inner disciple of Luoyun Sect.

Compared to Han Zheng, who is the grandson of Yuanying Zhenren, his status is completely different.

 Does the president need to pay such attention?

Looking at Luo Chen's slightly lonely figure, he suddenly thought of some people and things that he was not familiar with.

Qin Yuanjiang is not just the son of Murong Qinglian, the master of the Hall of Merit.

 He is also the son of Qin Liangchen, the former elder of the outer sect.

These two people had a close relationship with the president before he became successful.

 And now, Qin Liangchen is dead!

“President, do you need me to make arrangements?”

 “No need, just go and do your own thing!”

Luo Chen waved his hand, feeling hesitant for a moment.

The last time this happened, Zeng Wen died and he went to face Xiu Gu.

 …

Danxia Peak.

 In a large spiritual field with flat terrain.

 A little girl squatted on the ground, curiously looking at something in front of her.

 “Big sweet potato, such a big sweet potato!”

“Dad, why don’t you eat these sweet potatoes?”

 “Why do you want to cut it off?”

Yuan Dongsheng looked at her lovingly and said in a magnetic voice: "This is a new type of spiritual potato developed by the Five Elements Sect. It has extremely high yield and can even replace spiritual rice. If you want to plant it on a large scale, it must be cut into small pieces. Piece by piece, bury it in the soil.”

“Wait until next year, it will grow up, and Xiao Xijun can dig sweet potatoes even bigger than this!”

The little girl opened her eyes wide and listened to these words in a dazed way.

 The previous one seems to be understood but not understood.

 But she could understand the rest of it very well.

For a moment, I happily carried a big purple sweet potato into the hole dug in the spiritual field and stumbled away.

 “Bury it!”

 “Dig big sweet potatoes next year!”

But when we got to the small pit, the huge sweet potato couldn't fit in.

“Dad, Xiao Xijun can’t be buried, why?”

Yuan Dongsheng smiled softly and said, "Because it needs to be cut into pieces!"

“But won’t the big sweet potato hurt?” Yuan Xijun ignored the mud and hugged the big sweet potato tightly.

Yuan Dongsheng shook his head, "The big sweet potato won't hurt, and even if it hurts, the temporary separation is to grow bigger and bigger in the future. Xijun, growth will always be accompanied by separation and pain."

 When he said this, there was an irrepressible sadness in his vicissitudes of life.

The little girl said in confusion.

 Stumbled, he took the big sweet potato back and asked his father to use a special wooden knife to cut it into even pieces bit by bit.

 Above the spiritual field.

An extremely handsome young man, with eyes that seemed to contain stars, squatted on a field ridge in the distance, watching this scene with interest.

　　He didn't straighten up until there were clear footsteps behind him.

 “Dan Chenzi?”

 “Hello, fellow Daoist Han.” Luo Chen raised his hands and saluted.

Han Zheng straightened his clothes and bowed solemnly.

Luo Chen walked up to him and stood side by side with him, looking at the vast flat spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain.

 Some of these spiritual fields are extremely well cultivated and have already developed into second-level prototypes.

 It can be seen that Nongtang has done a lot of things under the leadership of Yuan Dongsheng in recent years.

“Fellow Taoist, you are very special. Others who come to Danxia Peak usually walk in the mountains and browse the beautiful scenery. You are the only one here, thank you for communicating with your colleagues, and come to wander in the mountains and fields.”

Han Zheng smiled freely and said, "Beautiful scenery can be seen everywhere in the world of immortality. But the interest of the fields has a different flavor."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said: "What you see is fun, but for low-level casual cultivators, it is hard work."

Han Zheng shrugged slightly.

“Since fellow Taoists are so considerate of their subordinates, why not let them reduce their workload and spend more time practicing?”

Luo Chen said calmly: "It is not easy for me to provide them with a livelihood. Reducing the workload will only affect their own income."

 What he said is true.

It is not easy for Luo Tianhui to achieve his current status in Tianlan, a three-thirds of an acre of land.

 To put it more seriously, it is a battle of blood and fire.

 Speaking at a smaller level, it is also inseparable from the struggle and efforts of the monks at the bottom.

For now, Luo Chen is not able to do what the big sects do and let some disciples get away from work and production, and focus only on cultivation.

Even he, Luo Chen, has to make elixirs himself from time to time to stabilize his relationship with Ice Castle.

Han Zheng has a different opinion.

"Our Luoyun Sect has recently developed a small puppet that can be used to replace the monks' work. Even if it cannot be done carefully, it can still be used for rough farming."

“One or two spiritual fields won’t have much effect, but if they are in large numbers, they can greatly reduce the burden on the lower-level monks.”

"If fellow Taoist is interested, I can help you and order a batch for you."

Luo Chen was startled.

He did not expect that this famous true successor of the Luoyun Sect, besides practicing and fighting, was also concerned about promoting his own puppet.

 He laughed dumbly and waved his hand.

“Forget it, I, Luo Tianhui, don’t have many spiritual fields, and we haven’t reached the point where we need the help of puppets.”

Han Zheng didn’t force anything, he just said it casually.

However, after this small talk.

 The two of them were no longer unfamiliar with each other when they first met.

 The next words will be easy to speak.

“I heard that Fellow Daoist Luo once rescued my three junior brothers from the Luo Yun Sect on the battlefield of Ji Lei Mountain?”

 “It’s just a matter of hands.”

“Although it was a little effort, he killed Zheng Tianfang, thus offending the Zheng family of Gunlongji and provoking a fierce war.”

“This is not the main reason why the Zheng family invaded, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Han Zheng frowned.

 His eyes kept looking at Luo Chen, trying to find a little familiar feeling.

Based on the information he collected, Luo Chen is the most likely person to save him in the Baiye Cave, the ruins of the Transformation of Gods.

However, there are some things that need to be confirmed.

“It is rumored that Fellow Daoist Luo opened the ruins of the Transformation God with his own hands and was the first to enter it…”

Luo Chen nodded calmly, "It is true, but I was seriously injured at the time and did not explore the ruins. I just wanted to recover from my injuries."

 This statement is something he is going to bite to death.

 Otherwise, someone will ask again in the future.

Moreover, he really didn’t explore the ruins of the Transformation God much.

That is simply not an opportunity that is within his reach. Han Zheng didn't care either, but asked pointedly: "When will fellow Taoist leave the cave?"

 “Probably half a year after the ruins were opened!”

 Half a year?

Han Zheng frowned, the time is not right!

He asked without giving up, "Did you participate in any battles on the way out?"

"That's not true. I always keep a low profile and don't like to fight or kill people."

　　Another negative.

Han Zheng felt a little confused.

but!

 After a brief period of confusion, he discovered that Luo Chen seemed to be consciously putting aside his relationship with the Luoyun Sect?

Or, instead of putting aside the relationship with the Luoyun Sect, the relationship is with yourself?

If he really saved himself in the first place, he would definitely be responsible for killing Momoyama Xuanyu.

 Behind Xuan Yu is the Peach Blossom Patriarch of Baihua Palace...

Gradually, Han Zheng roughly understood Luo Chen’s thoughts.

He stopped asking questions and said with a smile: "No matter what, I still want to thank my fellow Taoist for rescuing my Luoyun Sect members."

 This is a very ambiguous statement!

 Should we save Qin Yuanjiang and the others, or should he save Han Zheng?

 They are all members of the Luoyun Sect!

Luo Chen took a deep look at the other party and said nothing more.

 He knows that some of his methods cannot be hidden from others.

The battle with Xuanyu in the ruins of the Transformation God, although rushed, also exposed the three characteristics of super high escape speed, extremely strong physique, and Lieyunyi.

 In the Battle of Luotian outside Danxia Peak, these three points were also exposed.

 Otherwise, the outside world would not have widely spread his brilliant record of instantly killing several great monks.

If Han Zheng was intentional, he would know with just a little inference that he had saved him in the first place.

 But there are some things that everyone just needs to know each other well.

 If Luo Chen wanted to admit it personally, he would never say anything.

“It’s rare for Daoist Han to come to Tianlan once, so why not stay a few more days and let me help you catch the wind and wash away the dust.”

 “That’s not necessary.”

Facing Luo Chen’s invitation, Han Zheng seemed to have already planned to refuse.

“There are still some sect tasks waiting for me to do, but I won’t stay in Tianlan for too long.”

 Zong mission?

Luo Chen frowned and looked around.

 “Where is Qin Yuanjiang?”

Han Zheng sighed, "Junior brother, I'm afraid he's still in the back mountain now! I don't want to see others sad, so I came here to wait for him."

 Houshan…cemetery.

 Luo Chen nodded.

 “Sorry, I have to excuse myself.”

Han Zheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just go with us."

Luo Chen glanced at him in surprise. Didn't he just say that he didn't want to see others sad?

 …

 Handled by green hills, the incense is endless.

 In a cemetery, a young man kneels on the ground.

 The face was dull and there were no tears.

 But the sadness in his eyes cannot be suppressed.

 “Father, the child is late.”

“You worked hard to raise me and sent me to the fairy gate all the way, but I didn’t even see you for the last time..."

 “It’s Yuan Jiang who is unfilial!”

 Leaved home at the age of twelve and did not return until he was thirty-eight.

 The former young man has become a true cultivator of foundation building.

 But the once happy family relationship has been separated forever.

How much pride and pride I have, how much I have learned about cultivating immortals, no one tells me, only a touch of regret remains in my heart.

 A gentle voice came from behind.

 “Little tiger.”

"Mother." Qin Yuanjiang lowered her head, not daring to face her mother's earnest gaze for a moment, "Did you leave any last words before you left?"

Murong Qinglian stood behind, tears streaming down her face.

 “No, I left in a hurry and didn’t explain anything.”

 Qin Yuanjiang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

 At one time he thought he still had a lot of time to honor his two elders.

 He was secretly happy for a time that his parents did not go to the Jilei Mountain battlefield and their lives were not in danger.

 He thought that his parents would be very happy with the news that he was promoted to True Successor ahead of schedule based on his achievements in Ji Lei Mountain.

 But everything has changed.

 The emotions that should have surged and the tears that should have burst out of his eyes were, for some reason, suppressed by him.

 He forced himself to stand up and face his mother.

“Mother, come back to Luoyun Sect with me!”

“This time I don’t have to settle in Qianye Immortal City. I am already a true disciple and can take my family to live in Luoyun Sect for a long time.”

Murong Qinglian's sad mood stagnated.

Stretched out her hand and stroked the face of her son who was a head taller than her.

 “Old Qin, did you hear that?”

“Not only has your son established the foundation, he is now also a true disciple of Yuanying Sect, and his future is limitless.”

 “If there is knowledge under the spring, you should also be very happy!”

Qin Yuanjiang listened quietly to her mother's babble.

 I felt bored when I was a child.

At this moment, I feel that it is not troublesome to listen to it.

　Perhaps, only by losing can we learn to cherish.

After a long time, he said seriously again: "Follow me back to Luoyun Sect!"

"But, Luo Tianhui still..." Murong Qinglian hesitated.

Qin Yuanjiang said eagerly: "After I go back, I can ask the elders in the sect to personally treat your broken hand."

The woman lowered her head and murmured: "Elder Sun and the president are also collecting materials for me to treat my hand."

"That's different!" Qin Yuanjiang said confidently: "In our Luoyun Sect, we have the famous Yansheng Technique. In treating broken limbs, the effect is even better than that of the Six Jade Cauldron Sects. Once cured, there will be no It will affect your subsequent practice. Mom, you are not old now and your level is not bad. It is possible that you will reach the golden elixir stage in the future."

Murong Qinglian was still a little hesitant.

Qin Yuanjiang thought for a while and suddenly said: "Actually, there is a junior sister in the sect who is attracted to me. Mother, don't you want to meet that junior sister?"

This time, Murong Qinglian was moved.

However, she still said: "I have to ask the president for permission on this matter."

 Qin Yuanjiang frowned, "Uncle Luo?"

 In the past, he would not have cared about a person walking out of a pile of casual cultivators.

 However, Luo Chen saved his life!

 He must respect Luo Chen’s ideas.

 While the mother and son were talking about the future in front of the grave of their deceased relative.

Two figures in the distance watched this scene quietly.

“Fellow Daoist Luo, are you willing to let go of such a right-hand man?”

Luo Chen calmly replied: "There is no such thing as reluctance. My sister-in-law has paid too much for Luo Tianhui over the years. If she wants to rest and enjoy family happiness, I will make it happen."

“Fellow Taoist is very reasonable!” Han Zheng said with great admiration.

Luo Chen shook his head, "The Qin family has already sacrificed one person's life for Luo Tianhui, how can I force him to stay?"

 Speaking of which.

 An angry look flashed across his face.

Han Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and he noticed the fleeting expression.

"Actually, you have already avenged the Qin family. I heard that the Zheng family of Gunlongji died miserably. Not even a single Qi Refining monk survived."

 Luo Chen said nothing.

 He knows very well that the real enemies are not the Zheng family, Tie Jian Tang and other bastards.

Han Zheng said leisurely: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry too much. To Luo Tianhui, Yanmeng is a huge monster, and you won't be able to provoke it for a while."

Luo Chen looked at him in surprise, but he was very thoughtful and could see clearly.

but!

Luo Chen said confidently: "If it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. One day, I will return Luo Tianhui's humiliation of being blocked in the door and beaten ten times and a hundred times to Yanmeng!"

“Taoist friends have great ambitions!” Han Zheng praised, and then said: “It’s just that sometimes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment!”

Luo Chen frowned.

  Is this looking down on him?

Even though I have seen the arrogance of the Shangzong disciples many times, it still makes people unhappy every time. Even though Han Zheng acted elegant and easy-going, he was still like this.

 He didn't argue aloud.

 The words he just said were already rare gaffes on his part.

 To say more is just a dispute of words.

Han Zheng didn't say much, just chatted for a few words, reiterated that he would remember Luo Chen's kindness in rescuing the Luoyun Sect members, and left Danxia Peak.

 Luo Chen did not stay.

 Because there is someone more important than him who is leaving.
