Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Over the Quyang Sea.

The two figures looked at each other and smiled.

There was a coughing sound coming from below, the waves rose and fell, Duanli flew out from the bottom of the sea with difficulty, and slowly came to the two of them.

His face was pale, and from time to time there were streaks of black air that were like earthworms, burrowing in and out of his face.

The aura was so weak that it was hard to believe that he was a golden elixir monk.

"Ahem... I... thank Qing Yangzi for the reminder. Otherwise, I would have fallen to this person's sneak attack." Duan Li said, his black and white face full of gratitude.

Luo Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, you and I will fight side by side. The reminder is as it should be, but it's a pity for fellow Taoist Hao Ye."

While speaking, he looked at Diaosou.

Diaosou raised his eyebrows and hooked his finger. A strand of silk flew out of his finger and fell into the depths of the sea.

After a while, a mangled corpse flew out.

It was Hao Ye's body.

His eyes were wide-eyed, full of unwillingness, and he would not die in peace!

Looking at Hao Ye's body, the three of them were a little silent.

After a while, Diaosou stuffed the body and the other's belongings into the storage bag.

"After all, we are traveling together. Even if you are a casual cultivator, you should have a burial place when you die. After I go back, I will order someone to bury him alive."

Luo Chen glanced at his movements. Hao Ye's storage bag, together with the previous spirit beast bag and flying sword, were all unceremoniously accepted by the other party.

Do you get so many benefits without doing anything?

However, Diaosou's greed was beyond his expectation.

The other party was flexing their fingers, and strands of silk threads were flying out in front of their faces.

Soon, the black wooden sword of the monk in white, its storage bag, and even the body were tied up.

"Qingyangzi?"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, loosened the chain of the Hunyuan Cauldron that tied the monk in white, and allowed Diaosou to pocket all the loot.

He didn't resist at all, but Duanli was a little angry when he saw this.

"Master Diaosou, we worked so hard to kill this person. Qingyangzi deserves the most credit, how could you..."

Diaosou laughed and ignored his anger.

"Forgive me, this is the rule of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. This is the first assessment mission. Later, when you take on other missions as demon hunters, you can still make your own decisions on the spoils of war."

When he said this, he patted the bulging storage bags around his waist.

"I am not greedy for these things. They will be handed over to the Monster Hunting Department later, and they will be donated after screening and exchanged by all the monster hunters."

"You are the parties involved, and you have the right to prioritize. I will notify you when the time comes."

Such words are so reasonable and well-founded that no one can find any flaws.

Luo Chen said nothing.

Duanli naturally doesn't want to talk too much.

However, after a brief silence, Duan Li also said tentatively: "I failed this assessment task, so why should I be counted as a share in the future?"

Diaosou stroked his gray beard and said, "Who said you failed?"

"But..." Duan Li glanced at Luo Chen, who remained unmoved.

Diaosou explained: "This assessment task was taken on by three people at the same time. As long as it succeeds, it will be the credit of the three of them. The specific evaluation will be reviewed by this supervisor."

"There is no doubt that Qingyangzi will be directly promoted to a four-star demon hunter."

"Fellow Daoist Duanli, although he did not take the main role, he still contributed a lot. After I get the mirage bead back later, the other elders of the Demon Hunting Department will watch it, and they will also give you a suitable demon hunter. Star rating. It’s hard to say how many stars it is, but it definitely has a reputation.”

As he spoke, he showed a round bead on his hand.

Mirage beads, a special magic weapon from the North Sea, can store images.

Its principle is derived from the magic weapon of water mirror, taking pictures on the wall, etc., but it is taken to a higher level.

Luo Chen looked at the mirage bead and frowned subconsciously.

As if he knew what he was thinking, Diaosou said with relief, "Don't worry, the Monster Hunting Department will not leak the images here, and our fighting methods will be kept secret as much as possible."

Luo Chen's brows relaxed by three points, but he was still dubious.

Diaosou couldn't give him any more guarantees. Since he had participated in the assessment mission, there were some invisible rules that he had to abide by.

On the contrary, Duan Li couldn't help but cough a few times.

"Do we have anything else to do? Why don't we go back first? My injury needs urgent care."

Diaosou looked around and said, "You can leave at any time, but you have to wait for Qingyangzi to stop."

Having said this, he put away his smile and looked at Luo Chen.

"Is that enough?"

Duan Li was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the ghosts fighting and killing each other on the sea.

Without the master's control, the monk in white's soul refining flag became an ownerless thing, but he had previously used all the ghosts in it to decorate the black domain.

At this moment, the black zone was broken, and the huge strange ghost king returned to its original state, trying to escape from this area.

However, it was frantically besieged by other ghost kings, and from time to time a piece of its soul was chewed off.

Obviously, those besieging ghost kings were created by Luo Chen!

Luo Chen hummed and made a gesture to recall his Ten Thousand Souls Flag.

After a great battle, not only was the Ten Thousand Souls Banner not damaged, but it was also filled with ghost energy.

In particular, the strange ghost king, who looked like a human but not a human, a beast but not an animal, was also captured alive by a group of demon crab ghost kings!

"Thank you, Mr. Diaosou."

Diaosou smiled and took back the broken Ten Thousand Souls Flag of the monk in white.

"It doesn't matter, the rules are dead, but people are alive. The main banner of this soul refining banner is still there, so I can take it back and give it to you. As for how many souls are left in it? A battle in which two golden elixir monks died, Some attrition is to be expected.”

"Let's go!"

He waved his hand casually, and a flying boat appeared at his feet.

He pursed his lips at Duanli.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then showed gratitude and jumped up on his own initiative.

Obviously, Diaosou was deliberately taking care of his injury, otherwise there would be no need for a flying boat to travel.

Luo Chen also boarded the flying boat.

Just before leaving, I looked back at this sea area that has experienced wars and the waves have not stopped yet.

A proud man of heaven in the Holy Land, a casual cultivator who had gone through all kinds of hardships and finally reached the golden elixir in the rough, fell like this.

Silent and silent, no one praises it.

As Diaosou placed the spiritual stones and injected mana, the flying boat turned into a stream of light, carrying the three people and flew towards the Wanxian Association's stronghold in Quyang Sea.

…

Quyang Island is the name of the stronghold.

Four people go, three people come back.

Xiao Buhuan personally went out to the island to greet him.

Although he was a little surprised by Hao Ye's death, he was not surprised.

At that moment, he ordered people to prepare to activate the teleportation array.

However, Diaosou stopped the opponent's movement.

"Fellow Daoist Duanli was seriously injured and is not suitable for forced teleportation. He needs to rest here for half a month and stabilize the injury before leaving."

Duan Li glanced at Diaosou gratefully, and then said to Xiao Buhuan, "It's troublesome."

Xiao Buhuan waved his hand, "It doesn't matter."

However, this made him even more curious about Luo Chen.

Three Jindan monks participated in the assessment mission. One died and the other was seriously injured. However, Qingyangzi escaped unscathed, which shows that the other party can do it.

The desire to make friends arises spontaneously.

"It's rare for Taoist friend Qingyangzi to go to sea once, and he may have to take over the guarding task here in the future. Why not let Xiao take him on a tour to familiarize himself with the environment first?"

The corner of Luo Chen's mouth raised slightly, "If that's the case, then I'm sorry."

…

In this way, Luo Chen and the others temporarily settled on Quyang Island.

Stay away to recuperate and stay behind closed doors.

Diaosou went out to sea from time to time. It was said that in addition to his supervisory duties, he also had other important matters. He only said that he would definitely come back in half a month.

Luo Chen rarely lived a leisurely life under Xiao Buhuan's hospitality.

"Each of the three ocean defense lines has its own special features. In the ocean waters, there are surging undercurrents, which are as strong as monsters and difficult to cross across the sea. It is easy to lose direction. They are natural barriers. Our Quyang defense line also has advantages. There are endless reefs all over the sea."

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Association invited the masters of formations from Shenyuan City to set up the Luotian Reef Formation here. When the formation was set up, countless reefs moved with the trend, bending their teeth and overturning the sky and sea. It was a first-rate killing Formation."

"And the ocean surrounding the ocean, as the third line of defense, is a purely defensive place. The subtlety..."

On this day, Xiao Buhuan led Luo Chen to land on a sea surface.

While introducing him to the special features of Qu Yang's defense line, he used the formation disk in his hand from time to time to mobilize black rocks engraved with strange runes from under the sea.

The Luotian Reef Formation is formed by combining mountains, rivers and sea veins. It involves several third-level spiritual veins in this sea area. It is an out-and-out fourth-level offensive formation.

Only in this way can we stop those powerful monsters that break through the first line of defense.

It looks calm on weekdays.

But once it enters wartime, the intensity of the fighting here is even greater than that of the first line of defense.

As he spoke, Xiao Buhuan showed a wry smile on his face.

"This line of defense task seems to be leisurely, but in fact I am on tenterhooks every day."

"Why?" Luo Chen was curious.

Xiao Buhuan pointed towards the extreme north, "Who knows when the army of demonic beasts trapped in the Arctic Yemo Sky will escape in full force. By then, even if the fourth-order demon king does not appear, But a massive amount of low-level monsters will sweep across the human hinterland like a tsunami. I don’t think the Sanyo defense line can withstand it for long.”

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

He knew very well that the army of monster beasts that could enter the mountain gate of Yuan Mo Sect was definitely not comparable to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, let alone the monster crabs and turtles in the black rock sea.

Even after the demon slaying war is over, there are not that many monsters left.

But once they break out, the mere Sanyo defense line and even the Ten Thousand Immortals Association will be absolutely unable to withstand them.

That is a powerful enemy that can only be countered by integrating the entire Beihai Immortal Cultivation World.

But if this happens, his plan to stay quiet and deliberately avoid the vortex of the battle between good and evil will be in vain.

From one vortex center to another?

Luo Chen frowned, "Have the three major Sanren publicly expressed their opinions on this matter?"

"Are those three real people?" Xiao Buhuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Except for the occasional appearance of Yue Sanren, the other two people have never been seen. Even their whereabouts are so mysterious, how can they openly express their opinions? ."

Luo Chen was speechless.

Suddenly, he remembered what the white-clothed monk said when he was fighting before.

The mind of gossip suddenly arises.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you said that you have been a member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association for seventy years. You must know some of the deeds of the Three Great Sanren!"

"There is some understanding."

"Then what are their real names, do you know?"

"This..." Xiao Buhuan hesitated.

Luo Chen spit out three names, which were the three that the monk in white had revealed before.

Pang Bujue, Leng Xiaoyue, Fengling Jushi!

"I don't know about this. But before the crazy San people went completely crazy, they did have the Taoist title of Fengling layman."

Three names were verified by one, and Luo Chen became more and more sure of their authenticity.

Looking at Xiao Buhuan, Luo Chen smiled and said, "I heard that these three people all have a deep hatred against the Yuan Mo Sect. Do you know what the specific hatred is?"

When monks communicate privately, apart from their cultivation experiences, they also talk about other things.

To put it nicely, it is talking about the general trend of the world of immortality.

If you say it's not nice, it's just gossip.

Obviously, Xiao Buhuan's interest in talking was also aroused.

"I don't know about the Yue San people and the Crazy San people, but I do know a little bit about the hatred between the Xue San people and the Yuan Mo Sect."

He said eloquently: "It is said that back then, the Blood Sanren was not a loose cultivator, but he was relied on by the sect. He himself was also the proud man of heaven who had the highest hopes in the sect!"

"That sect is quite powerful. It has the Nascent Soul Ancestor sitting in it, so it can be considered a dominating force. Naturally, there will be other small forces that want to fawn over it. I heard that there is a Nascent Soul force of the same level that takes the initiative to marry into the sect where Xuesanren lives. A young female nun was betrothed to a Xue Sanren."

"But this female cultivator happened to be spotted by a Yuanmo Sect cultivator. The Xuesan people didn't know the true identity of the cultivator at that time, so they killed her in anger due to the conflict."

Hearing this, as a qualified listener, Luo Chen applauded appropriately.

"Is this how we formed a grudge?"

Xiao Buhuan shook his head, "If that's the case, what's the point of talking about deep hatred? Especially since the Holy Land disciples have never beaten the Shang Zong's true heritage, it would be embarrassing to tell them. The subsequent development of this matter is the main reason."

He said slightly excitedly: "The Yuan Mo Sect also wanted to save face. They did not send anyone to target the Xuesan people. Instead, the disciple's elders approached the Yuan Ying ancestor of the Xuesan people's sect and proposed a fight. No. It is quite elegant to bully the younger ones and settle their grudges with the parents of the other party. The Holy Land has an order, and the lower sect cannot resist. The fight begins. And the result is, no surprise, in that fight, the mentor of Xuesanren... Sorry to lose.”

"After this battle, Yuan Mo Sect has washed away its shame and regained its reputation."

"But the mentor of the Xuesan people died within ten years after the defeat. The sect felt that it was wrong to belong to the Xuesan people, either for profit, liquidation, or cutting. In short, the elders in the sect joined forces and drove the Xuesan people out of the door. . In addition, the female force that had previously been married to the Xuesan people was also afraid of the Yuan Mo Sect's accountability, so they took the initiative to send the married female cultivator into the Yuan Mo Sect. I heard that the female cultivator had a miserable end, and was used as a furnace and sucked alive. died."

"After all this, Xue San's temperament changed drastically and he gradually embarked on the path of evil. After he reached the realm of Yuanying, he first returned to the mountain gate to destroy his own power, and then set foot on the woman's family and turned it into a purgatory."

Big change in temperament?

The teacher passed away, was kicked out of the door, and the woman he loved died tragically...

Luo Chen's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard this. It was indeed unbearable for a proud man of the sect to bear these things, and it seemed natural to go to extremes.

Xiao Buhuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw that Luo Chen was entranced.

I seem to be a little too close to someone else.

"Fellow Taoist Qingyangzi, these are all what I heard from hearsay. Don't take them seriously. The details are not for us casual practitioners. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the parties involved to sort them out. Just listen to the excitement and don't publicize them to the outside world. ."

Luo Chen laughed, "I'm sorry, fellow Taoist Xiao, don't worry."

Xiao Buhuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

However, he immediately changed the topic and jumped away.

"After my fellow Taoist returns, it is certain that he will become a four-star demon hunter. He will also go to the Fulong Mountains to practice in the future. I wonder if you have already thought about which mountain top to choose as your permanent residence?"

Sure enough, this topic immediately aroused Luo Chen's interest.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I wonder if you can introduce me to him?"

Xiao Buhuan smiled proudly, "I have really studied this aspect!"

"Fellow Taoist, do you know where the word Fulong in Fulong Mountains comes from?"

"Want to hear good news!"

"Legend has it that in ancient times, wild beasts were rampant in the North Sea. There was such a wild beast, named Shilong, who was born from the spirit of ore and attained the Tao. After its incarnation, it fed back the heaven and earth and created a place in the North Sea. Fifth-level spiritual veins. After the ancient human-monster war, that area became the territory of our human race. The Yuan Mo Sect was based in Beihai, moved mountains and seas, moved many spiritual veins, and gathered them in the sky of Arctic Yemo to create a sacred place! During the migration When he was in Shilong's spiritual vein, he didn't expect that Shilong's remnant soul was still alive and caused a big mess. In the end, it was Yuan Mo Sect's new Blood Sea Ancestor who personally took action and subdued it. Not only did the fifth-level spirit The pulse has moved away, and even the remnant soul of the stone dragon has been collected."

Xiao Buhuan paused and said firmly: "The Fulong Mountains where the Ten Thousand Immortals Association is located is the old site!"

When Luo Chen heard this, he couldn't help being shocked.

"The fifth-level spiritual veins have been moved away. How can the Fulong Mountains still have a fourth-level foundation?"

"The exquisite methods of the Holy Land are beyond our imagination." Xiao Buhuan praised, and then continued: "But in fact, it is not without certain influence, at least the place where spiritual energy gathers in the Fulong Mountains, It’s very different from other fourth-level spiritual veins.”

"how do I say this?"

Next, during Xiao Buhuan's narration, Luo Chen learned about the special features of Fulong Mountain Range.

Ordinary fourth-level spiritual veins are formed by concentrated spiritual energy.

With the fourth level as the center, it spreads outward, thus achieving a fourth-level, third-level, second-level, and even first-level pyramid structure.

However, the main line of the Fulong Mountain Range was moved away by the Yuan Mo Sect in ancient times, leaving the branches with no support.

After three thousand years of evolution, several branches have become respected, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and each has become a mountain.

Therefore, in the Fulong Mountains, there are many hills, and the spiritual veins of all levels are like stars all over the sky, leaving no trace to be found.

Some spiritual veins may appear to be of the third highest grade, but in fact they are filled with spiritual energy that is no more than a castle in the air. After a few months of cultivating the spiritual energy, the grade will fall.

And some seemingly ordinary second-level spiritual veins, as long as the monks cultivate them well, they may even have a chance to reach the middle-grade, or even high-grade, weaker third-order levels.

Golden elixir monks who have just joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Association want to choose a suitable third-level spiritual vein among them. Even if there are monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals Association who mark the grade, choosing an excellent cave is still like luck.

…

After listening to the introduction, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel emotional.

"It's really not easy to practice casual cultivation! It's hard to find a large spiritual vein to inhabit, but it's still very difficult. If you're not careful, you may lose dozens or millions of spiritual stones."

This also cheered up Luo Chen. When choosing a spiritual place in the future, he must keep his eyes peeled and not be put in the wrong position.

Through Diaosou's collection of trophies, he had understood that the Ten Thousand Immortals Association seemed to be a holy land for casual cultivators, but in fact it was still just a means for high-level monks to make money.

The late-stage Jindan monks are greedy for the trophies of the early and middle-stage Jindan monks.

The Nascent Soul cultivator would even covet their years of savings.

Although Master Yuanying looked down upon the wealth of one or two Golden Core cultivators, the gains would be extremely huge over time and over time.

This is not dead wealth, but a steady stream of living water. In order to survive, the Jindan monks under his command will continue to create more wealth.

I can't really think that the leek has been cut.

Even if you want to be a leek, you must at least get what you pay for.

"Thank you Daoist Fellow Xiao for reminding me. Qingyang will keep this favor in mind." Luo Chen cupped his hands and thanked him.

Xiao Buhuan waved his hand, but the smile in his eyes was not concealed.

"I have a few vacant caves to recommend here. Fellow Taoist, you can carefully screen them after you go back. Maybe you and I can become neighbors."

"Oh, Qingyang couldn't ask for more."

Luo Chen was overjoyed and quickly wrote down the hills mentioned by Xiao Buhuan.

And time quickly came to half a month later.

Diaosou came back, dusty and dusty, and he looked like he had gone to a very far away place.

After returning, he summoned Luo Chen and Duan Li.

Even though Duan Li was still in poor condition, he no longer delayed and forcibly activated the teleportation array.

…

In Longyuan Immortal City.

In a palace, the formation shines brightly.

When he paused, the old man staggered for a moment, but Duanli couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Luo Chen watched this scene calmly and walked out of the high platform where the teleportation array was located.

Diaosou couldn't help but glance at Luo Chen again, and then said: "You guys go back and rest for a day or two. Come here in three days to collect relevant things and decide whether to rent the cave in Fulong Mountains."

Three days?

Luo Chen pursed his lips. This was good. It gave him enough buffer time to verify what Xiao Buhuan said.

Duan Li was distracted, with a hint of worry on his face.

Luo Chen glanced at him.

Duan Li is in this state, even if he rents a third-level cave, he may not be able to keep it.

But the injuries on the opponent's body would not be able to heal quickly without the help of the third-level spiritual veins.

Thinking about it, the other party must be in a difficult position!

However, these have little to do with him. If the other party wants to heal his injuries, he can provide one or two help, and at least he has fought side by side.

Luo Chen said goodbye and strode out of the palace.

After coming out, looking at the dazzling sunshine in the sky, Luo Chen couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment.

He has now passed the assessment task and is only three days away from obtaining the status of a four-star demon hunter from the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

Have you found an organization?

"organize?"

"They are just a group of rabble with a slightly higher realm. Others cannot trust them at all, so they can only rely on themselves!"

Luo Chen smiled hoarsely and quickened his steps.
