Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

As the leading golden elixir sect in the Jade Cauldron Domain, Qingdan Valley possesses a naturally high-grade third-level spiritual vein.

Overall, it is a large third-order high-grade spiritual vein.

It is mainly composed of five peaks, covering the Neidan Valley, and then gradually spreads to dozens of large and small peaks outside the valley.

Such geographical conditions are really the envy of many small sects.

But Qingdan Valley itself is also suffering!

There are too many monks. Even if the foundation-building monks suffer casualties from time to time, the number has always been maintained at around a thousand.

If only that was it.

It just so happens that there are a lot of golden elixir masters in Qingdan Valley!

In the past, it could only be divided into five major third-order high-grade caves and ten third-order low-grade caves.

As Danyangzi and Tao Wan continued to form elixirs, the number of caves became increasingly insufficient.

Usually, many times, several Jindan monks are sent to practice in the man-made third-level caves in those large fairy cities.

This is also the reason why Qingdan Valley is in good condition, but it has to participate in the opening war.

They also want to seize a third-level spiritual vein in the New Territory. No matter how big or small, it can at least be used as a branch of the sect.

but!

Even in this case, Qingdan Valley arranged a complete third-level low-grade cave for Luo Chen's arrival.

Even several bottles of third-level elixirs were provided to ensure his practice before refining the Yingying Dan.

From this we can see that it is imperative for Qingdanzi to refine the Yingying Dan.

A clean and brand-new third-level cave.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged and made a strange magic trick with his hands. The gestures on both sides were completely different.

As he practiced, spiritual energy surged in the cave, vaguely dominated by turquoise spiritual energy and fiery red spiritual energy.

"The true skill of burning wood", the third level skill of wood fire fellow practitioners.

At this moment, under the operation of Luo Chen, he was devouring the spiritual energy from the outside world unscrupulously.

Not only that, the divine consciousness, which is a higher level than the spiritual consciousness, is also constantly stirring up the surroundings, sucking in the dual attribute spiritual energy of wood and fire that is more suitable for him from the chaotic spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

During this practice, a full hour passed by in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, opened his mouth and spit out a wisp of green smoke.

"After forming the elixir, the practice becomes more complicated. Not only do you have to capture the free spiritual energy from the outside world, but you also have to purify it while contaminating the soul with spiritual power to form magic power."

"But there is also a benefit, that is, the efficiency of spiritual consciousness in transporting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has increased by nearly ten times!"

Although he said this, there was no happy expression on Luo Chen's face.

A thought came to my mind.

A transparent light curtain that only he could see slowly fell down like a waterfall and unfolded in front of him.

[Achievement Points: 66]

This is the first time he has fully expanded his attribute panel after forming the elixir.

Therefore, watch very carefully.

The first is longevity.

After a hundred years of elixir formation and ten years of seclusion to stabilize his state, he is now just one hundred and ten years old.

The achievements achieved at this age are considered outstanding in the entire world of immortality.

Perhaps only those Tianlinggen monks who have the so-called ten years to build a foundation, a hundred years to form a pill, and a two-hundred-year Nascent Soul can compete with one or two.

The upper limit of life span is four hundred years old.

One hundred years less than the regular golden elixir monks.

But Luo Chen didn't panic. He knew his situation after experiencing the changes in longevity during the Foundation Establishment Period.

With subsequent minor level improvements, the upper limit of lifespan should also increase.

I just don’t know if the increased amount is the same as during the foundation building period.

If it is the same, when the golden elixir period is complete, it will be almost the same as a normal golden elixir monk, which is also five hundred years old.

What if more?

That was an unexpected surprise.

Compared with Shouyuan, Luo Chen is more concerned about realm and skills.

Thanks to the previous Great Perfection of "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing", it was also helpful when I switched to the "Burning Wood True Skill" taught by fellow practitioners of Mu Huo.

Therefore, when I first transferred to another major, I gained fifty more proficiency levels.

After ten years of seclusion and continuous operation, "Burning Wood True Skill" has reached the proficiency level.

This is a good thing!

The only fly in the ointment is the speed of cultivation brought about by this set of exercises.

Three months have passed since I stepped into the first level of Jindan.

It took three full months, with the cooperation of the third-level spiritual land and a small amount of third-level practice pills, that he could increase his progress by one level.

[Golden elixir level 2/100]

"Double-system practitioners, incomplete skills, and five spiritual root aptitudes, after all, have a great impact on my cultivation speed!"

"If you want to cultivate to the second level of Jindan, it will take about thirty years."

"Although I don't know what the difference in spiritual power is between each level of the Golden Elixir stage, based on my past experience and my exchanges with Qu Xibai and Wu Qi, if I want to cultivate to the perfection of the Golden Elixir stage, I have to Under the current conditions, it will take about...two thousand years!"

It takes thirty years to reach a small realm, but it takes two thousand years to reach nine major realms.

Seems outrageous.

But that’s how cultivation is, it gets more difficult as you get to the later stages, especially when you break through to a big realm.

Luo Chen's family knew about his own affairs. The reason why he was able to practice so quickly during the foundation building period was because he improved his resources and environment time and time again.

Just like that, in the end, with all the preparations, I was lucky enough to enter the golden elixir stage.

In comparison, Luo Chen cared more about the familiar number of two thousand years.

When he entered the foundation building stage at the beginning of the year, this was how he judged the time required for pill formation.

This time, it was more or less the same.

The amount is also huge!

But Luo Chen is no longer as confused and hesitant as before.

He knows that there are many ways to improve the speed of his cultivation. As long as he has a direction and enough mobility, nothing will be difficult in the world!

It was even said that Luo Chen was quite happy.

Because comparing the cultivation speed of the Tianlinggen cultivator, the difference between his five spiritual roots is twenty times!

Then the time required to conceive a baby would be at least four thousand years, but this time he shortened it by twice out of thin air.

The reason...

"I think it has something to do with the solid foundation I laid during the foundation building period."

"Third-level physique, all the meridians are connected, the acupoints of the Zhoutian are opened, the ultimate method is to form elixirs... All these things have shortened the fundamental gap between me and the beloved son of heaven and earth."

"If I continue to consolidate my foundation when I am in the Golden Core stage, maybe after I reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future, I will have the spiritual roots of that day... Haha, I was wrong."

Luo Chen suddenly thought of a rumor in the world of immortality.

That day, the spiritual root monks had no advantage after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

In fact, there is not a big gap between the time required and other qualifications for monks who want to become gods.

In other words, if he relies on the Five Spiritual Root qualifications to form a baby, there will be no gap in qualifications after he reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

Judging from this guess.

Perhaps the real starting point for the five spirit root qualifications is in the Nascent Soul stage?

The sudden speculation interrupted Luo Chen's thoughts.

After a while, he shook his head.

"Thinking too far ahead."

"Don't talk about the Nascent Soul Stage. My so-called existing conditions are not yet met."

The condition for conceiving a baby in two thousand years is to have a piece of at least third-level low-grade spiritual land and a stable supply of third-level low-grade elixirs.

This is the most basic condition.

But on these two points, Luo Chen has not yet achieved it.

The third-level cave under his butt was temporarily provided to him by Qingdan Valley.

The third-level elixir he is currently using is the congratulatory gifts given by the guests during the elixir formation ceremony, as well as the Dragon Transformation elixir recently provided by Qingdan Valley.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go!

Sighed.

Luo Chen continued to browse the properties panel.

Thanks to the revised "Convergence of Ten Thousand Daos", he was able to refine his body with withering fire, and his ancient third-level physique, which had been shackled for many years, finally began to slowly improve.

At present, we have reached [Old Ancient Third Level 20/100] and have only improved by five steps.

It's slow, but that's all it can do for now.

It is really a painful process to use the withering fire to refine the body.

The whole body is being burned by the fourth-level strange fire all the time, and the pain is simply not something that ordinary people can bear.

If Luo Chen's willpower hadn't become extremely strong after being tempered again and again, he himself would not have been able to bear the pain.

Even so, because he was not very skilled, he made many mistakes and often suffered physical injuries.

If he hadn't practiced many medical skills, his current body would have been scarred and crumbling.

Thanks to the continuous use of medical skills to treat himself, over the past ten years, he has gradually perfected the Five Elements Returning to Internal Organs and Bone Restoration techniques to great perfection.

This can be regarded as joy in suffering!

"Based on the realm of the ancient body refining method that I set myself, as long as I complete nine blood exchanges and reshape all my muscles and bones, I will be able to reach the fourth level."

"The second blood exchange is almost here!"

Luo Chen could feel how powerful the blood in his body was, like mercury slurry, rushing like a river.

This is just a blood exchange realm.

After browsing the realm skills, Luo Chen also had an accurate idea of ​​his current situation.

As for the subsequent spells, they are lackluster.

During those decades of seclusion, I spent most of my time practicing and creating my own techniques, and did not practice much magic.

He also dabbled in the Innate Qi Mahamudra technique from time to time.

Therefore, brushing its proficiency to a perfect level.

Relying on these achievements, he easily defeated Hong Ling during the elixir formation ceremony, which earned him admiration from Jin Buque, the Five Elements Divine Sect.

In addition, thanks to a successful elixir formation, he upgraded "Suo Zhu Curtain" and "Ding Feng Bo" to the level of Dzogchen.

As for his self-created "Miscellaneous Dust Yuan Technique", after successfully forming the elixir, his proficiency will start immediately.

During the subsequent ten years of retreat, when the natal skills were being used, the secret technique of forming pills was also being used at the same time, so the proficiency was passively improved.

Perhaps when the time comes for Dzogchen in the future, Luo Chen will have a new understanding of this self-created secret technique of forming the ultimate elixir?

Luo Chen thought about it for a while, chuckled, and lowered his eyes.

Finally, in the occupation column, there is a slight pause.

In addition to the third-level alchemist and second-level physician, there is a new profession - the formation mage.

Although he is at the first level, it shows that he has truly entered the first level of the formation.

"This should be related to my intensive study of restrictions and the extremely solid foundation of the formation."

"With my current formation foundation, as long as I am given the corresponding low-level formations and materials, I can arrange it."

"What is lacking may be proficiency and some details in controlling the operation of the formation."

Luo Chen has no plans to improve these shortcomings for the time being.

First of all, I don’t have the time, and secondly, I probably don’t have the talent.

at last!

The current formation can only help him more than refining his natal magic weapon.

The demand in this area is really not big.

"Sixty-six achievement points, a new high!"

Luo Chen muttered and put away the attribute panel.

This time I took stock of the property panel. Overall, it was a mixed bag!

There are gains, but the shortcomings exposed are obviously more.

He had a deeper understanding of the current situation and a clear understanding of what he wanted to do in the future.

Third-level spiritual veins, third-level cultivation elixirs, and natal magic weapons.

Just these three things!

Nothing more!

However, that is also something to be done in the future.

For the moment, he still had to fulfill his promise and refine the Yingying Dan for Qingdan Valley.

Just yesterday, he had already talked with Qing Danzi.

Regarding the prescription for the Yingying Dan, the other party was willing to give it to him, but not now.

Only when he reaches the advanced stage of Jin Dan will Qing Danzi give him a rubbing version.

In the words of Qing Danzi: "Everyone has no guilt in carrying a jade. If I give it to you now, it is a disaster rather than a blessing!"

Luo Chen could not refute these words.

After all, Qingdan Valley’s lessons learned from the past are all around us.

The Jade Cauldron Sword Sect came knocking on the door with just a few clues.

If the Jian Zong's goal was not to simply destroy the pattern of the Five Peaks Covering Valley, then the battle would have been like the Yan League, with a river of blood.

Qingdan Valley almost failed to save the elixir recipe. He, Luo Chen, was only at the early stage of the Golden elixir. If he let out any news, he would be killed.

Therefore, Luo Chen also agreed to this condition.

"However, I can't get the Yingying Dandan prescription, but I can accomplish another thing during this trip."

Luo Chen's eyes flashed and he had a plan in mind.

…

After dawn.

Luo Chen, who completed the practice of "Burning Wood True Skill" and "Convergence of Ten Thousand Daos" respectively, left the cave.

Riding the escaping light, we arrived at Danyang Peak Taidanyuan.

As soon as he landed, an alchemist in the Foundation Establishment Stage came up to him.

"Senior Dan Chenzi, please come this way!"

"Well, you lead the way!"

Luo Chen nodded. He knew that his arrival could not be hidden from the local master.

Along the way, Luo Chen's eyes were cast on the busy monks in Taidan Academy from time to time.

Those who can enter the Taidan Academy are almost all alchemists who have accomplished foundation building!

And most of them are older.

For the profession of alchemist, being old is not a disadvantage, but an advantage. This means that they have reached a very high level of knowledge in alchemy.

From what he observed, there were at least fifty people in the Taidan Courtyard!

This means that Qingdan Valley has at least fifty experienced second-level alchemists!

This does not include the ordinary alchemists scattered inside and outside the sect.

"There are so many alchemists in Qingdan Valley alone. I wonder how rich the talent base of the Medicine King Sect, which dominates this area, will be?"

"In comparison, our Luo Tian Sect, including me, only has three second-level alchemists."

"Such a gap cannot be made up by resources. It will take at least thousands of years of inheritance to make up for it."

Luo Chen sighed secretly in his heart.

The more second-level alchemists there are, the more elixirs they can produce, and the more spiritual stones they will naturally earn.

Qingdan Valley also relied on this resource to cultivate nearly a thousand foundation-building cultivators.

If you look at it now.

This group of experienced second-level alchemists can assist Qingdanzi and the other six in processing a large number of low-level materials required for the Yingying Dan.

"They have been planning for a long time, and now I am here too."

"I guess I will be refining the Yingying Dan in the near future!"

Luo Chen thought to himself.

Suddenly he felt something in his heart and noticed a line of sight looking at him.

Turning his gaze, he saw a pair of eyes with complex meanings.

The man noticed Luo Chen's attention and immediately lowered his head.

"It's him?"

Luo Chen frowned.

The person who had secretly looked at him just now was clearly Xuan Yunzi He Yun, whom he had met.

During the foundation building period, Luo Chen noticed something was wrong with Xuanyunzi.

The soul aura on the opponent's body was unstable, and there was a faint feeling of life and death.

Now that he was in the golden elixir stage, Luo Chen's consciousness swept away and he was even more sure of his guess back then.

Xuanyunzi is a person who seizes the body!

And it is very likely that the old monk from the outer sect of the Medicine King Sect who died in Yuanzhao Kingdom was also the opportunity for Luo Chen's predecessor to embark on the path to immortality.

"I can detect it with my knowledge. There is no reason why there are so many golden elixir monks in Qingdan Valley who can't see it!"

"But they ignored him and recruited him into Taidan Academy. Why is this?"

Doubts arise spontaneously.

Luo Chen took a deep look at Xuan Yunzi, who was busy with his head down, and didn't pursue it too much.

It has nothing to do with people under the roof.

Soon, Luo Chen entered the depths of Taidan Courtyard.

In the main hall.

As far as the eye can see, five light green glazed cauldrons are placed among them.

Four of them already have owners.

The extra one was prepared for Luo Chen.

"Fellow Taoist is here!"

Qing Danzi walked out of the palace with his hands behind his back.

Although he has the body shape of a teenager, he has the air of an old man.

Combined with the other party's five hundred years of practice, it is natural to have such a temperament.

Luo Chen nodded and his eyes fell on the glazed cauldron.

"Start now?"

Qingdanzi hummed, and said with a little expectation: "Qingtian Glazed Cauldron, one minute and thirty-six. When the time comes to refine the Yingying Dan, I will be in charge of the cauldron, and you will control the five major Zidings, and there will be thirty alchemists." The second-level alchemists with superb skills control a small cauldron respectively. Using this to build a fourth-level blue elixir formation, you can cross the level to refine the fourth-level Yingying Dan."

This is Qing Danzi’s plan!

It’s not just whimsical.

In the history of Qingdan Valley, there has indeed been such a successful experience in refining fourth-level elixirs.

There are so many details involved that it cannot be completed by one person.

As for the control of the main tripod and the five sub-pods, the requirements are extremely high.

You must be a third-level alchemist, and you also need to master an original true fire!

Luo Chen precisely meets this condition.

"I have released the restrictions on the Ziding. Dan Chenzi, you can refine the Ziding first and establish contact with it."

"After that, I will give you the few medicinal materials you will be responsible for at that time, and handle them skillfully a few times first, just in case."

Luo Chen hummed.

He immediately sat down in front of the tripod that belonged to him.

The spiritual consciousness emanates and is constantly contaminated along the formation.

The mana surged and completely enveloped the Ziding, which had reached the level of a low-grade magic weapon.

This is the method of conventional ritual refining of magic weapons.

It's just that because the main cauldron is at Qingdanzi's place, it can't be put into the Qi Sea for worship, and can only be slowly practiced outside.

Qing Danzi observed from the side, his brows gradually furrowed.

Suddenly.

He interrupted Luo Chen's refining.

"What's wrong?" Luo Chen stopped and looked at him puzzled.

Qing Danzi shook his head and said, "It's too slow. Your sacrifice is too slow."

Luo Chen was stunned.

Isn’t that what conventional sacrificial magic weapons are like?

Qing Danzi smacked his lips, his lips moved, and words of good advice entered Luo Chen's mind.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.

Is there such a secret technique?

What Qing Danzi just passed on to him was a secret technique that uses the original true fire to accelerate the refining of magic weapons!

With the help of this technique, the speed of monks refining magic weapons can be doubled!

"Try it!" Qing Danzi said.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, and a vigorous green flame came out of his mouth, slowly wrapping the cauldron.

Gradually, this Ziding established a faint connection with him, and it became deeper and deeper.

"Huh!"

"Qingdanzizheng will not deceive me, and he will get twice the result with half the effort!"

"If I have a natal magic weapon in the future, can I also rely on this technique to use my natal true fire to nourish my natal magic weapon?"

"If it is really feasible, then I don't know how much training time it will save!"

Seeing Luo Chen's thoughtful look, Qing Danzi shook his head and said nothing.

If you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf.

The deadline was approaching and he couldn't wait any longer.

Taking advantage of the opening of the war, everyone's attention was not on the Qingdan Valley to refine the Yingying Dan.

When the time comes, he will take the birthing pill and look for a fourth-level spirit to have a birth.

As long as he achieves Nascent Soul, his current longevity problem and Qingdan Valley's dilemma can be solved!

It can even expand the opening war and take advantage of the situation to conquer a new territory for Qingdan Valley.

Right or wrong, success or failure, all depends on this.

It's just a magic weapon sacrificial refining technique, so it doesn't matter if Luo Chen is cheap.

…

After several days of sacrifice, Luo Chen looked exhausted and stopped moving.

It has reached a level of 1/200 of the sacrifice, and it will be almost the same if it is done a dozen or so times.

The one who acted like him was Qing Yunzi, who was at the third level of the Golden Core.

The two looked at each other, and Qingyunzi clearly showed surprise on his face.

Although he is only at the third level of the Golden Core, he has practiced the art of the Divine Soul in a rough way. His current Divine Soul foundation is at least in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Luo Chen actually persisted for the same amount of time as him.

Doesn't this mean that Luo Chen's spiritual foundation is not weaker than his?

You know, Luo Chen himself is only at the first level of Jindan.

He was surprised, but he didn't know that Danyangzi, who had already finished his attack on the opposite side, was even more shocked.

All in all, Danyangzi formed elixirs decades earlier than Luo Chen, but he did not persist as long as Luo Chen.

This means that he is not as good as this peer in terms of soul foundation and mana strength.

Qing Danzi, the supreme elder who has been paying attention to the situation in the main hall, does not care much about this matter.

The stronger Luo Chen is, the more help he will have in refining the Yingying Dan.

"Let's go back and rest for a few days!"

"We'll continue later."

Luo Chen nodded and stood up, but did not leave directly.

Instead, he stopped Danyangzi.

"Fellow Taoist, let's talk?"

It’s the beginning of the month, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket for November, thank you all
