As a Fourth Order Pill Refiner like them, I've come here, yet despite receiving some flattery and praise, have never experienced such grandeur?

Those people didn't even genuinely seek me out; it was sheer flattery and currying favor, utterly lacking in the demeanor of a True Master!

Is the difference really that significant?

Just as jealousy flared in his eyes, the person beside him took a step that made him widen his eyes.

"Daoist Deng, you..."

Deng Taiyue turned back to look at him, awkwardly explaining: "I heard that the Alchemy Sect not only excels in Pill Refinement but also openly accepts incomplete Pill Formulas. Perhaps he can complete the formula for the Ti Hu Pill, so I'd like to get acquainted."

With that, he turned without hesitation and merged into the crowd, becoming the next person eager to meet Luo Chen.

Mr. Yao stood in place, his mouth agape, his body even trembling slightly.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the other people around him.

"Daoist Zhang, you're not thinking of going over, are you?"

Master Zhang needed something from him, so naturally, he wouldn't speak rashly at this moment.

"And what about the rest of you?"

The other few exchanged looks, then one naturally said: "All those present are peers; what's wrong with getting to know each other? Besides, Mr. Yao, didn't you want to discuss the Dao of Alchemy with him? Don't you want to get to know him?"

"Indeed, such a young Alchemy Concoction Grandmaster with this level of cultivation must have extraordinary qualities. I, too, am eager to get to know him."

At this moment, Mr. Yao's heart was as gray as ashes.

After all his years, he had only just advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, and his future on the Daoist path looked bleak.

So he pursued fame and even sought to revitalize the Seven Cave Mountain by his own efforts.

But compared to Luo Chen, the disparity was glaringly obvious.

The other built a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect from nothing, mastering the Pill Refinement Technique at a young age. Should nothing unexpected occur, perhaps he might even be recruited by the Dark Abyss Sect, meaning a Divine Transformation might be within reach!

One is a setting sun, the other, a rising Proud Sun.

No wonder the cultivators here were so opportunistic.

"But I am, after all, a predecessor in the Dao of Alchemy, becoming renowned before him. If he has any sense, he should come to pay respects proactively!"

Mr. Yao gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to lower himself and bow, even if just a person or two remained by his side.

He waited for Luo Chen to come see him actively.

Yet, until the gathering officially started, that young man never so much as glanced his way.

As if he had no idea Mr. Yao existed?

"Pretending to ignore me, infuriating this old man!"

...

"Since everyone is acquainted now, I, Elder Lu, will get straight to the point!"

Elder Lu sat at the head and smiled at everyone.

"We'll save sharing cultivation insights for last. First, let's get to what interests everyone the most, exchanging resources!"

Saying this, he extended his hand in invitation.

"Last few times, I nearly emptied my coffers; this time, which friend will go first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Chen, specially invited to sit above, spoke calmly.

"Since it's my first time attending the gathering as a newcomer, let me break the ice!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes filled with hope.

Known for his fame in the Alchemy Sect, what Luo Chen produced had to be some High-Order Elixir.

Such level of elixir is rare and sought after, who wouldn't want it?

Even if one couldn't use it personally, buying one or two would curry favor with the Alchemy Sect.

As expectations mounted among the crowd.

A stream of light flew forth and crashed into the center of the spacious hall.

A bloody scent erupted forth!

A potent remnant aura spread in all directions, causing many to shiver in their Divine Souls and quickly raise their Qi Power.

Looking closely.

A giant, slender creature, with its upper body resembling a bat and its lower body akin to a scorpion, appeared before them, stretching dozens of zhang long.

Upon it, fresh blood dripped, its fur skinned, truly terrifying!

A complete — Demon Emperor's Metamorphosis!

As the crowd reeled in fright and shock, Luo Chen smiled amiably, as if harmless to both humans and animals.

"A Fourth Order Lightless Beast Corpse, almost fully intact apart from the skin and fur."

"Interested? Exchange it for the Chi Xiao, Purple Cloud, and Jiang Xiao three kinds of Sky Qi!"
