Chapter 1451: Chapter 1471: Getting on in Years, Acting like a Ghost Fire Youth_1

Being an alchemist is profitable. As long as you work diligently, you can earn Spirit Stones every time you fire up the furnace. However, to become a top-notch alchemist, the amount of Spirit Stones needed for investment is astronomical.

Most alchemists learn new pill prescriptions while using the ones they’ve mastered to refine pills for others to earn Spirit Stones. They then use these to learn even more pill prescriptions and buy medicinal herbs, repeating this cycle.

An industrious alchemist who is always striving to improve will usually remain in a state of poverty.

Refining low-grade medicinal pills might only cost one or two Spirit Stones, but high-grade pills can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of Spirit Stones. Just imagine how long it would take to earn the cost of one furnace of high-quality pills?

"Bang"

The furnace exploded!

All the hard work of an entire year reduced to ashes in an instant.

Endlessly refining pills, one failure could lead to bankruptcy!

Lin Chen doesn’t necessarily have to learn alchemy himself, but he believes that having diverse skills is never a disadvantage. There’s endless time in the Immortal Path, so, learning more could only be beneficial.

For incredibly precious and confidential pills like the Nine-Turn Da Luo Pill, it would be the safest to refine them himself. Moreover, being able to refine pills means that he can process any Immortal Medicine or natural treasures he obtains, making him self-reliant.

As the two were on their way, a flying shuttle suddenly approached from behind.

Lin Chen turned his head to look, it’s a middle-aged man. The man looked at them and had an expression of contempt on his face as his shuttle passed theirs.

Lin Chen turned his head to Zi Yun Fairy: "Did you see that, Fairy Zi Yun? Was he looking down on us?"

Zi Yun Fairy glanced at Lin Chen: "Does it make you uncomfortable?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Not at all, I just find it ridiculous. He’s no longer young, does he think he’s still the Ghost Fire Youth?"

Zi Yun Fairy curiously asked: "What does Ghost Fire Youth mean?"

Lin Chen explained with a laugh: "Some young men like to ride motorcycles, race, show off their driving skills, compete in speed, and take pride in it. But in reality, it is very annoying."

Zi Yun Fairy covered her mouth and giggled: "You have a good attitude."

Lin Chen shrugged: "With my strength, it’s necessary to stay low profile. If we chase after him and end up being beaten up ourselves, that would be embarrassing."

Zi Yun Fairy raised an eyebrow, interested, she put her hand on the control of the flying boat, infusing it with her spiritual Qi.

"Let’s go and teach him a lesson!"

The speed of the flying boat suddenly increased. It was at least twice as fast as before, it turned into a streak of light-shadow, quickly chasing forward.

Soon, Lin Chen saw the silhouette of the flying shuttle.

The distance quickly closed in, the middle-aged man glanced over his shoulder. His flying shuttle’s speed had also increased, but it was still slower than Lin Chen’s, and the gap was quickly closing in.

The man’s shuttle took an abrupt turn toward a mountain range, as if he acknowledged their strength and decided to avoid them.

Zi Yun Fairy chuckled: "Does he think he can escape now?"

As the flying boat gracefully rounded the curve, continuing the chase.

As their boat passed the side of the mountain, the man’s flying shuttle has already paused mid-air. He looked at them, with an expression of triumph in his eyes like a hunter stalking his prey.

"Something’s not right!"

Lin Chen frowned, whispering: "He seems to have lured us here intentionally...."

Zi Yun fairy’s voice was tranquil: "We sensed it, we didn’t get far from the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines when he started following us. It seems like being the back-up Qingliu Sect has arranged."

Lin Chen asked: "We may have walked into a trap, should we back off?"

"We can’t leave."

There was a glint in Zi Yun Fairy’s eyes as she looked around calmly: "We have walked into an Array Formation."

"You sharp-eyed!"

The middle-aged man shouted coldly: "Rise!"

Following his shout, Array Banners flashed between the surrounding mountain peaks, their Sword Qi rushing to the skies. White mist filled Heaven and Earth, Lin Chen’s view instantly filled with white, much like it was back in the Sea of Oblivion Mist Island. He could only see a very short distance in front of him.

Still, Lin Chen didn’t panic. After all, he was accompanied by a peak powerhouse.

Lin Chen asked: "Are you an accomplice of Lu Ze’an from Qingliu Sect?"

The middle-aged man smirked and spat out: "Green Lotus Fire Spring."

Lin Chen realized, and loudly continued: "You seem to be much stronger than Lu Ze’an. When Yan Xingwen was ambushed outside before and almost died, Lu Ze’an obviously couldn’t have done it, so it must have been you."

The middle-aged man sneered: "If it wasn’t for his decent life-saving magic treasure, he would have died in my hands already. Thanks to him, the subsequent incidents happened. I asked Lu Ze’an to help me retrieve the Green Lotus Fire Spring, but you guys had to interfere. So, it’s not my fault for being harsh on you."

Lin Chen nonchalantly asked: "It looks like our death is certain, how about telling us your name so that we can die knowing who killed us?"

The middle-aged man laughed: "Trying to probe my identity? You are already in my Immortal-Slaying Array, no escape for gods or spirits. It won’t cause harm telling you, I’m Zhu Binhui, the Supreme Elder of Haotian Sect..."

Lin Chen was stunned, so this guy was from the Haotian Sect!

The Haotian Sect had a lot of conflicts with the White Crane Immortal Sect. The previous Peak-True Immortal Wu Ying even wanted to kill him, but ended up being killed by him which resulted in a huge commotion.

Did he just run into the Haotian Sect again today?
