Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

"The I Ching cleanses the marrow, refines the internal organs and unblocks the meridians, and opens all the acupoints all over the body, so that a transparent body can be achieved... So that's it! Tsk tsk, listening to you is really better than five years of reading!"

"Diaosou is being humble. Among our generation of Qi practitioners, these principles of cultivation are carried out unconsciously. I didn't know it before, but I just knew it and didn't know the reason. Now I understand the details, Diaosou In the follow-up body training, we will definitely make rapid progress and make thousands of miles every day!"

In the outer hall of Xingdou Hall, an old man and a young man were chatting happily.

Diaosou seemed to have received an enlightenment, and he completely understood the direction of his next practice.

As Luo Chen said, body refiners and qi refiners actually have something in common.

When a Qi Refiner is practicing, even if he does not train his body deliberately, he will temper his body unknowingly, making the monk's body less weak and able to withstand the huge impact of external spiritual energy.

However, this matter is simple to say, but the actual operation is obviously not that easy.

For example, the art of refining internal organs, the method of unblocking meridians, and even methods related to opening orifices are obviously secrets that are not passed down by various body refiners. Maybe they need to be combined with the corresponding secret medicine to achieve great success.

If you use the qi-refining methods of immortal cultivators to carry out those exercises, you will probably be like a tiger but not a dog.

Seeing Diaosou lost in thought, Luo Chen pondered for a moment and gave guidance: "Actually, these low-level body-refining methods are widely circulated in the world of immortality. Diaosou, as long as you are willing to spend some spiritual stones, you can naturally collect many. When the time comes, classify them Just experiment and find what works for you.”

Diaosou nodded first, "It's really not difficult. There are many related techniques in the Monster Hunting Department."

Then, he looked embarrassed again.

"But if you want to reach the third level of body refining, the furnace level, I'm afraid it won't be that simple."

The second realm, the Blood River Realm, and the first five minor realms are all in the stage of laying the foundation.

If you want to achieve something, you must understand the changes in qi and blood and refine the four powers of the light and dark elixir!

These four realms are not easy to cultivate. They require understanding, talent, resources, and a lot of time.

Diaosou suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Chen.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, it seems that the path you are taking is somewhat different from that of the ancient body refiners."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you see it?"

He didn't expect that the other party was so observant and noticed this.

Diaosou said hesitantly: "Actually, I have seen an orthodox body refiner before, a high-level body refiner who has reached the furnace level. Even if that person is just standing next to me, I can feel the domineering and incompetent spirit. The Gang Qi is extremely aggressive. The whole person is like an oven, almost smelting all things into itself."

"But you are different!"

"The feeling you give me is that of vigorous vitality and vitality, without any so-called domineering aura. You even feel like an ancient monster standing in front of me!"

Luo Chen still had a smile on his face, but it had become a little forced.

He didn't expect Diaosou's perception to be so sharp.

The path he took was indeed not the path of an orthodox body refiner.

Through the system and self-created techniques, he skipped the four stages of enlightenment and changes in Qi and blood, and instead took a different path of body training that only relied on resources.

It is no longer a light and dark elixir, but [blood exchange] and [bone shaping].

Over the years, relying on a large amount of blood food and constant use of Black Emperor Ointment, he had undergone blood transfusions several times. He only had the last three blood transfusions left after nine blood transfusions.

Now, the blood in his body is like lead and mercury, and the rush is like a torrent.

As for [Bone Shaping], the bones all over his body are now becoming harder and harder, and even if he occasionally chops with a magic weapon, he won't be hurt at all.

In fact, Luo Chen now has the confidence to dare to withstand the bombardment of the lower-grade magic weapon.

The reason why outside monks cannot see it is because the hidden form engraved on the body forcibly conceals this terrifying body that looks like a wild beast.

"What kind of secret technique has this Diaosou practiced? He can actually see through my reality... That's not right!"

Luo Chen suddenly had an idea in his mind.

The other party's previous demeanor was a bit hesitant, not like he was sure.

In other words, perhaps the other party does not perceive your state, but learns about it through other channels.

Battle on Lengguang Island!

Yes.

In the Mo family fishing ground, although he used a large formation to temporarily block the perception of the outside world, there were survivors in that battle.

The eldest of the Wu twin brothers escaped.

With the intelligence capabilities of the Monster Hunting Department, it is very likely that the relevant information was collected and eventually fell into the hands of Diaosou.

Facing Diaosou's thirst for knowledge, Luo Chen put away his smile and became slightly serious.

"I'm sorry, this is my exclusive secret technique and will never be passed on to others. I'm always letting you down."

Diaosou opened his mouth, showing obvious disappointment.

Just in case he was greedy, Luo Chen added: "Actually, my body refining technique takes a very long time and consumes not a small amount of resources. Your old state is now at the ninth level of the Golden Core, which is far from the Great Perfection. It's only one step away, and it's definitely too late to practice my method. As far as I know, what monks need to break through the Nascent Soul stage is the unity of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. It is said to be a unity, but it is not a fusion, but an adjustment. The internal state of the body must reach the most suitable level to resist the power of heaven. In this case, the monk's body does not have to reach the third level of body refining. As long as the foundation is solid, the meridians and acupoints can withstand the erosion of external spiritual energy. .”

Diaosou listened to Luo Chen's compliments with a slight sense of disappointment.

The truth is indeed like this. He is not young anymore, about 400 years old, and it is only a hundred years before the end.

It only takes a hundred years to reach the perfection of the golden elixir, and to take another path from scratch to the third realm. It is all wishful thinking.

But the words kept coming to his ears, and the more he listened, the brighter the light became in Diaosou's eyes.

Suddenly.

He stood up suddenly and looked at Luo Chen in surprise.

Faced with his rudeness, Luo Chen was puzzled at first, and then his heart thumped.

I, it seems, talk too much.

Diaosou's voice was dry and hoarse, "Fellow Taoist Luo Hai, are the theories about the birth of babies you just mentioned true?"

really!

Luo Chen knew the problem was here.

His theories about conceiving babies were derived from his epiphany that year, coupled with Han Zhan's occasional guidance, and finally summarized by himself.

This kind of truth is not profound.

But for casual cultivators, it is the most simple way, and what you want can only be expressed in a few words.

Even though he is an eight-star demon hunter and is in charge of the demon hunting department, Diaosou seems to have no relevant knowledge reserves.

Luo Chen pretended to be calm, "It must be true! These words were casually said by the elder of Tianyuan Tower, Master Fu, when I was on Lengguang Island. I think, with the respect of Master Yuanying, he should not tell lies to fool people. I."

The old man was walking in the hall with small steps.

Rich man?

He should be one of the four elders established by Tianyuan Dao Sect in the Beihai Tianyuan Merchant Alliance. His real name is Fu Chaosheng.

He still knows these common sense.

It is said that this person is very kind to the younger generation and often offers support.

With Qingyang Demon Lord Luo Hai's excellence, it might be possible for him to be appreciated by the other party and give him some advice.

He stopped and looked at Luo Chen with burning eyes.

"Is there more?"

Luo Chen smiled bitterly, "What is my identity? I'm just a casual cultivator. It's already a great blessing to be favored by a real person and give me a few words. I don't dare to ask for more."

"That's right. Even if I, Ten Thousand Immortals, have seven Nascent Soul Masters, I rarely get their guidance." Diaosou said.

However, the look he looked at Luo Chen was still dubious.

In his heart, he made up his mind.

In the days to come, we must exchange more experiences with this Qingyang Demon Lord.

Not only is it related to body training, but more importantly, it is the theory related to childbirth.

Maybe we can dig out more.

Seeing the tired look on Luo Chen's face, Diaosou calmed down.

“That’s it for today’s exchange!”

"I came here for other reasons."

Luo Chen nodded, "Please tell me."

"This is number one..."

Diaosou took out a volume of book, turned to the middle page, and presented it to Luo Chen.

"This is?" Luo Chen was confused and looked down at the words above.

Diaosou explained: "These are the relics of the white-clothed monk from the Yuan Mo Sect. Except for some that were taken away by Master Yuanying, the rest are all here. I said at the beginning that these things would enter the treasure house of the Demon Hunting Department. For casual cultivators to redeem, You and Duanli are the parties involved, and can be given priority in exchange, and your priority will be ahead of Duanli."

Imperial Soul Sword: A middle-grade magic weapon made of thousand-year-old peach wood. Its attack trajectory is extremely strange and its power is impressive. It also has the special effects of sealing souls and deterring resentful souls. It is recommended for use by Wood Spirit Root monks.

Thousand Soul Banner: There were originally tens of thousands of souls, but most of them were lost in the battle. However, this flag has good foundation. If the monk replenishes a large amount of souls, it may be able to restore its original power.

Experience of forming elixirs: The experience of forming elixirs of a genius golden elixir monk is relatively simple. It is obvious that this person formed elixirs very easily and did not encounter any difficulties.

Moonstone: a fourth-level mineral material, suitable for refining Yin attribute magic weapons.

…

The names of each resource, as well as related introductions, are listed on this page.

At the top of the page, a name is specially marked.

【Yan Zhixian】

Luo Chen was thoughtful, and it seemed that the monk in white was indeed not named Qin Tianming, but his real name was Yan Zhixian.

"Are you ready to choose?" Diaosou asked.

Luo Chen raised his head and asked tentatively, "Why is there no secret technique for that person to arrange the black domain above?"

During the battle at Qu Yang's defense line, among Yan Zhixian's many methods, the one that left the deepest impression on him was the black domain he created with the help of the Ten Thousand Soul Flags.

It looks like a ghost, but also like a trapped and locked formation.

But the closest thing is the Nascent Soul realm that was released by Wolf Emperor Aoxiao and Han Zhan when they faced off on the Tianguyuan battlefield!

In that black realm, the enemy's mana was greatly suppressed, and even the soul's thinking became a little slow.

Otherwise, Yan Zhixian, a mere early-stage Golden Elixir monk, would not be able to face two Golden Elixir masters, Luo Chen and Duan Li, at the same time.

If you can master these methods, you won't take much advantage against enemies of the same level!

Regarding this, Diaosou said with regret: "Such secret techniques must belong to the true inheritance of Yuan Mo Sect. How can I carry the copy with me?"

Luo Chen didn't believe it.

But Diaosou looked calm and didn't seem to be pretending.

After thinking for a while, Luo Chen pointed at a line.

"I will choose this soul-melting secret art!"

Diaosou smiled slightly and said, "I guessed that you would want this secret technique just as I did. After all, you also have a Ten Thousand Soul Banner of good quality."

Luo Chen smiled knowingly.

His Ten Thousand Souls Banner was obtained from Yan Nantian and was not very powerful at first.

But in the black rock sea, Han Zhan secretly collected the souls of many demon kings to make them powerful.

Also during the battle on Lengguang Island, Han Zhan used the Sea Sealing Bagua Formation to annex the soul of Qian Ting, the head of the Qian family, a great monk in the late Jindan period.

Luo Chen also relied on the soul flag to avoid being affected by the black field control during the battle with Yan Zhixian.

Especially, after the battle, Diaosou allowed Luo Chen to devour many ghost kings in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner left by Yan Zhixian.

Over the past five years, earth-shaking changes have already taken place.

It is even said that Qian Ting, the ghost king formed by the resentful soul, swallowed up most of the strange ghost king in Yan Zhi's soul-revealing flag, which looked like a human but not a human, and looked like a beast but not an animal. Now it has become more powerful.

If you get this soul-melting secret technique.

Na Luo Chen may also be able to integrate many scattered ghost kings in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner like Yan Zhixian, and explode with great power.

In this way, Luo Chen will have one more trump card!

"This technique is a technique that all disciples of Yuan Mo Sect's soul refining lineage will learn. Although it is not spread to outsiders, Beihai monks have also explored some similar techniques in recent years."

"Therefore, the exchange price for this soul-melting secret technique is not very expensive. Because of Yuan Mo Sect's reputation, the price was set at 200,000 spirit stones."

"You are now a four-star demon hunter. After the discount, you only need to pay 120,000 spirit stones to redeem it."

Diaosou said with a smile.

Two hundred thousand spirit stones are really not expensive, especially after the discount.

Luo Chen also said with emotion: "The star discount for this monster hunter is really good! It would be great if I had a nine-star star rating, no, even seven or eight stars. The annual rent of this Penghu spiritual land is very important to me. It’s also a huge burden.”

Beihai has many spiritual veins, so it seems worthless.

But the higher-grade ones are still very expensive.

Eight hundred miles from Penghu, three million a year, even if it is discounted by 40, it still costs 1.8 million a year, and nine million in five years!

If Luo Chen's demon hunter star level is higher, then the rent may become 7 million, 6 million, or even lower.

An eight-star demon hunter like Diaosou can rent a third-level high-grade cave for only three million every five years, which is as cheap as cabbage! Maybe the Monster Hunting Department has other preferential treatment and does not charge this fee.

Listening to Luo Chen's emotion, Diaosou shrugged.

"This is not easy. With your ability, if you take on more missions, you will be able to raise your star level in no time. Even if you are not able to reach the level of eight stars like me, seven-star demon hunters still have a chance. "

In the Demon Hunting Division of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, those with one to three stars are mostly foundation-building practitioners. Those with four to six stars are basically golden elixir masters. Occasionally there are one or two four-star demon hunters in the foundation-building stage who have made great achievements.

But the number of Seven Star Demon Hunters is very rare.

Those with this star rating are not lower than those in the late Jindan stage!

No, it should be said that in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, all seven-star demon hunters and above are late-stage Golden Core monks, but not all late-stage Golden Core monks can become seven-star monster hunters.

For example, Huangfu Song has the seventh level of Golden elixir, and his demon hunter star rating is only six stars.

Diaosou's words were undoubtedly the greatest recognition of Luo Chen's strength.

Put it directly against those powerful late-stage golden elixir great monks!

In this regard, Luo Chen was very humble.

He waved his hand and said, "Most of these missions are dangerous. Even the most common monster hunting mission requires fighting in battle. It is of no use to my generation's cultivation. I don't want to take it."

Diaosou was speechless.

The Qingyang Demon Lord, who is so powerful as a demon, is still tired of fighting and just wants to clean up his cultivation?

It's a bit funny.

But then I thought about it, Luo Chen handled the farce before very well, and he really didn't want to get into trouble.

I thought it was wrong.

but……

Diaosou sighed, "It's a pity that the second thing I want to say will ruin your purity and elegance."

Without waiting for Luo Chen to ask questions, he directly explained the situation.

It turns out that demon hunters in the Golden Core stage have corresponding mandatory tasks every five years. This is something everyone must understand before joining the Demon Hunting Division.

Luo Chen has been practicing in Penghu for five years, but he has not accepted a single mandatory mission.

Even if there are fishermen to deal with it, it can't be delayed now.

"But you don't have to worry too much. This kind of mission is generally not too dangerous, it just takes a long time."

"Time-consuming?" Luo Chen frowned.

Diaosou waved his hand, "I know what you are worried about. Isn't it just that it will take too long and affect your cultivation."

Luo Chen hummed, he was indeed worried about this.

The longer he practiced in Penghu, the better he became in practice, and he really didn't want to waste time on trivial tasks.

If he didn't have to go out, he wished he could stay at home every day and cultivate to the late stage of Jindan, until he reached the state of Dzogchen.

"I have selected several tasks for you, and they are all the least time-consuming. Why don't I tell you about them." Diaosou said with a smile. He is an old man in the Monster Hunting Department. Which tasks are dangerous and which are easy? , he knows better than anyone what tasks will take and how long they will take.

Obviously, in order to make good friends with Luo Chen and learn more about cultivation from him, he had begun to use the power he controlled.

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "I'd like to hear the details!"

…

the next day.

Fulong Mountains, hidden in the wind cave.

A pale male cultivator locked the cave, activated the formation, and walked out.

As soon as he came out, he saw a ray of light flying from a distance, flying towards a mountain not far away.

After flying halfway, it suddenly turned back and landed next to him.

"Is it Fellow Taoist Duanli?"

Duan Li glanced at it and replied hesitantly: "Fellow Daoist Xiao?"

The person who came was none other than Xiao Buhuan.

The five-star demon hunter stationed on Quyang Island.

Xiao Buhuan laughed and said, "It's just me. I didn't expect that my Taoist friend would still remember me after we met just a few times."

Duan Li forced a smile, "Don't Fellow Daoist Xiao still remember me?"

Xiao Buhuan smiled, and then looked at the cave behind him with some confusion.

"This wind tunnel?"

Duan Li nodded, "I am renting the apartment now, and we are neighbors to each other."

Xiao Buhuan was stunned.

He had introduced Qingyangzi many times, originally wanting him to be his neighbor, but he didn't expect Duanli to be given the advantage.

Judging from his pale face, he was afraid that the sequelae of that battle had not been resolved yet.

Duanli was a little curious, "Fellow Taoist has not shown up in these years. I thought you were cultivating quietly. But now it seems that you have returned from a long journey. Could it be that you just came back from Quyang Island?"

Xiao Buhuan replied: "That's true."

Duan Li was surprised, "Don't guarding duties come once a year? How could fellow Taoists be stationed there for so long?"

"I'm different." Xiao Buhuan shook his head, "I took on a long-term mission, lasting ten years. During these ten years, the cave here in Xiushan will still be reserved for me. At the same time, this kind of long-term guarding mission can be Slowly increase the monster hunter’s star level.”

Duanli suddenly realized.

Indeed, such a long-term mission, which can take up to ten years, is also very time-consuming for a Golden Core cultivator.

Especially if you are on the front line against monsters, a battle is very likely to break out.

This kind of mission is completely different from the ordinary five-year mandatory mission.

Xiao Buhuan asked curiously: "Where is fellow Taoist Qingyangzi, do you still have contact?"

"Don't you know about him?" Duan Li asked subconsciously, and then he laughed at himself: "I forgot, you just came back."

"What's wrong with him?" Xiao Buhuan was even more curious.

Duan Li smiled and said, "I am going to Penghu to visit Qingyangzi. Can Fellow Daoist Xiao go to see me?"

"Penghu!"

Xiao Buhuan's eyes lit up.

That Qingyangzi actually practiced in Penghu, eight hundred miles away!

When will the Lingmai Cave there be available for individual rent?

Then, he nodded without hesitation.

"Go together, go together!"
