Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The void was swaying, and the vision was distorted.

Unable to tell whether it was a change in the outside world or an illusion of his own perception, Luo Chen was teleported to a new land in the stone house.

The second level!

Before Luo Chen had time to stand, he subconsciously probed into the storage ring with his spiritual sense.

Those precious bamboo slips could not be taken away, but what about the surplus of spiritual root pills and other elixirs that he had refined by himself?

Under the perception of his spiritual sense, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, they are all here!"

These three kinds of elixirs are not of high grade, only first and second grades.

But the auxiliary materials needed for refining are extremely difficult to find in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Several of them were things that Luo Chen had never heard of before, and he only knew them through bamboo slips in the elixir world.

In other words.

Even if he left the Land of Fallen Demons, it would be difficult for him to replicate and refine this elixir in the outside world, unless he spent a lot of effort to improve this elixir formula.

While feeling fortunate, Luo Chen also felt more and more sorry.

"If this elixir can be spread to the Mountain and Sea Realm, I may change the pattern of this world!"

The Mountain and Sea Realm is dominated by immortal cultivators.

But the majority of them are countless mortals who are difficult to estimate.

These mortals, in the East Wilderness, are kept by the big sects to help collect basic materials and provide logistics for immortal cultivators. They are more efficient in the North Sea, but they are just consumables to assist the big and small forces to do some miscellaneous things.

But if these huge mortals can use the spiritual root pill to practice, even if they only practice to the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, it will bring earth-shaking changes to this immortal cultivation world.

By then, everyone can practice, everyone is like a dragon, such a prospect...

"I probably thought too much. Even if it can be done, there are not so many resources to provide them with practice."

Luo Chen sighed and focused his attention on the new territory that had just stabilized.

"Is this the second level?"

He walked forward slowly, his eyes fell on the exotic flowers and plants under him.

Like the first level, there are all kinds of medicinal materials.

The difference is that the spiritual energy contained in the medicinal materials below is much stronger than that of the first level.

According to his estimation, the overall age has been raised from 500 years and below to less than a thousand years, but the best ones are about 700 to 800 years.

The higher-grade medicinal materials mean that the elixir made with them will also be of higher grade.

This is within Luo Chen's expectations.

The second level is a little harder than the first level, isn't it normal?

In addition to his eyes, Luo Chen's consciousness is constantly spreading, as if trying to find someone.

Finally.

When he arrived at the stone house similar to the first level, his consciousness did not find the second person except him.

Facing this result, Luo Chen didn't know whether he was relieved or worried.

Fortunately, he naturally didn't encounter a competitor and avoided a possible battle.

Worry, it is obvious that the other party is likely to be ahead of him, not only passing the first level, but now even the second level.

Count the days.

It has been about four years since Luo Chen entered the Land of Fallen Demons.

It took him two years to refine the alchemy in Li Wangtian and Wuxingtian, and another two years to refine the alchemy in Ming Zhaotian's Danjie.

But in fact, the Land of Fallen Demons has been open for five years!

Luo Chen delayed for a year before setting foot here.

This also means that the time that the pioneer spent in the inheritance land was at least two years, and at most four or five years.

In such a short time, he passed two levels in a row, which shows that the other party's alchemy attainments are extraordinary!

In this way, Luo Chen had to consider one thing, that is, whether the other party would pass all the tests ahead of him and obtain the alchemy inheritance of the Demon Lord Liantian?

Facing this result, an invisible sense of urgency hung in his heart.

"Forget it, let's take a look at the test questions first!"

Buzz...

The red-robed Taoist pushed open the two stone doors, and the stone road and the three rooms of Danshu Yao came into view.

The same layout means that the subsequent tests are similar, and the only difference is the test questions.

...

[Humans are the spirits of all things, and monsters are the true essence of heaven and earth.

But humans and demons have different paths. The short lifespan has endowed humans with intelligence, while the long years have made demons dull. Under the same realm, demons are no match for humans.

In my opinion, the gap between them is not only in the use of external objects, but also in the difference in cultivation paths.

Our alchemists... refine the corresponding elixir to break the difference between humans and demons.

On the same mahogany desk, Luo Chen held the jade slip and slowly read the test questions left on it.

However, after reading it, his face was full of doubts.

In his opinion, the gap between humans and demons is indeed in the use of external objects!

The reason why Qi-refining cultivators can take advantage of first-level demon beasts, foundation-building cultivators can take advantage of second-level demon beasts, and even Jindan cultivators can take advantage of third-level demon kings is because of the external objects of magic tools, magic treasures, formations and talismans.

How can he refine specific elixirs to make up for the gap in this regard?

Shouldn't he teach the low-level demons to skillfully use external objects?

Confused, his face was full of confusion.

But at least there is one thing that Luo Chen vaguely grasped.

The first level, the Demon Lord Lian Tian wanted him to open the gap between immortals and mortals, targeting the human race.

The second level, the so-called different paths for humans and demons, focuses on the demon race.

According to what Tai Sui said... provided that he did not lie to himself, the origin of the Demon Lord Lian Tian was very strange, and it can be said that he was neither human nor demon nor devil, but it can also be said that he had all three.

Because the other party was a "hybrid" with the three bloodlines of humans, demons and monsters.

It may be a bit disrespectful to say so.

But that's the truth.

If so, the first two levels are dominated by humans and monsters respectively, then the third level is likely to be dominated by the demons.

In this way, the problem arises.

Luo Chen is very familiar with both the human race and the monster race.

But the monster race...

"Thinking too far ahead, let's focus on the present!"

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen picked up the jade slip again and pondered over and over again.

How to close the gap in combat power between humans and monsters at the same level?

Only by grasping the essence of the problem first can we prescribe the right medicine and refine the elixir in a targeted manner.

...

Time passed slowly, and after a few days, Luo Chen vaguely figured out something.

The so-called difference between humans and monsters is actually not in the body qualifications, but in the wisdom and soul.

Humans are born with a short lifespan.

In order to seek immortality, they have to rack their brains and study the great way.

The use of external objects is essentially a derivative of wisdom.

But the monster race is different. Most monsters are born with a long life, so they don't have such an urgent need for cultivation.

Therefore, the cultivation path of the demon race was not aimed at the soul from the beginning, but at the accumulation of power itself.

It is precisely because of the difference in starting points that the subsequent cultivation paths of the human and demon races have gradually drifted apart.

Although the human race cultivates qi, it pays more attention to the soul. When it reaches a high level, the physical body and magic power are not as important as the soul. For example, Han Zhan can still live in the world even if his body is destroyed.

But the demon race, relying on its huge body, will accumulate terrifying spiritual energy in its body, and can even condense the demon pill before humans at the second level.

You know, the human race can only condense the golden pill in the golden pill stage.

If strength is compared to work, the demon race is actually the first to use tools by instinct.

"My first intuitive feeling was wrong."

"Because of the innate physical advantages of the demon race, they instinctively rely on external objects (power) from the beginning, ignoring the refinement of the essence of the soul, which leads to a step slower, and then a step slower."

"And power needs the wisdom of the soul to control. If you have huge demon power but cannot control it freely, and cannot even rely on tools to output it in multiples, you will not be able to defeat the human race of the same level."

"If you want to change this problem, just strengthen the soul."

After sorting this out, Luo Chen gradually sorted out a thread from the chaotic lines.

And being able to "solve the problem" so quickly is due to Luo Chen's long-term dealings with the Black King and Tianxuan.

Especially Tianxuan, Luo Chen personally examined her body and tailored her cultivation method.

It can be said that among the current human cultivators, Luo Chen is definitely one of the top ones in terms of the degree of understanding of demon beasts.

Now that the problem has been solved, it will be easy to solve it.

He really knows how to refine the elixir that strengthens the soul, and he even has it on hand!

A flash of light flashed in his hand, and a second-grade top-grade Tongyou Pill appeared in his hand.

Luo Chen paid attention to the changes around him.

No changes.

"Hmm?"

"Does it mean that those who sense the test results must be in the alchemy room?"

Luo Chen hesitated and came to the alchemy room.

But even if he took out the Tongyou Pill, there was still no change.

The voice with undisguised weakness did not appear.

"What does this mean?" Luo Chen's expression darkened.

It's impossible that the answer he brought with him doesn't count, right?

Tongyou Pill is not only for cultivators, he has also tried it for Tianxuan, and it really works!

Feeling irritable, Luo Chen returned to the study again.

His eyes swept across the bookshelves, paused, and finally came to the jade slip on the desk.

His spiritual consciousness probed into it, and the test question echoed in his ears again.

"Could it be that I deviated from the topic?"

...

Luo Chen couldn't find the answer, and after another day of thinking hard, he chose to start from the beginning.

What does it mean to start from the beginning?

That is naturally to read the bamboo slips on the bookshelf in the study.

Compared with the first level, there are much fewer bamboo slips in this second level.

There are less than ten thousand volumes, only thousands of volumes.

And the content is no longer all the information about medicinal materials. What surprised Luo Chen was that he found several unique alchemy techniques on it.

Yes, alchemy techniques!

Such as Luo Chen's original alchemy techniques such as Su Xin Hand and Zhe Yu Hand.

They are different from alchemy techniques. Techniques are minor and focus more on the processing of medicinal materials.

Various alchemy techniques are aimed at various medicinal materials.

For example, Su Xin Hand is good at processing medicinal materials with wood attributes. For example, some medicinal materials that cannot touch the ground and be contaminated by dust must use this technique.

Zhe Yu Hand and Zhai Xing Hand are good at processing medicinal materials with earth attributes and minerals. Some elixirs made of jade must use them.

Luo Chen learned a lot of basic alchemy techniques in his early years, but the more he learned, the fewer basic alchemy techniques he learned.

The last time he learned a new alchemy technique was the Crane Burning Hand that was taught to him by Mu Yunyan from Luoyun Sect.

This time, the several alchemy techniques that Luo Chen learned surprised him.

The Qi Control Technique is specially used to process various "spiritual" medicinal materials.

What are spiritual medicinal materials?

Some elixirs do not rely solely on the medicinal materials themselves. Before the refining is completed, a large amount of special spiritual energy must be introduced into them.

But the spiritual energy in the world is mixed, and there are few places as simple and pure as the Five Elements Heaven.

Unless it is something like the top-grade spiritual stone that contains a large amount of single spiritual energy.

Obviously, no alchemist is willing to use the top-grade spiritual stone to make elixirs.

In this case, one can only guide spiritual energy from the outside in, rely on formation filtering and shielding, and introduce a certain spiritual energy alone.

But no matter how good the formation is, there will be some omissions.

Just like a cultivator practicing immortality, even a single heavenly spiritual root will passively absorb spiritual energy of other attributes into the body during cultivation. This situation has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that those with a single spiritual root can cast spells with other attributes, but the disadvantage is that it affects the speed of cultivation.

Returning to the topic, Qi Control is clearly a skill that can accurately distinguish the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and select elixirs for use in medicine.

If one can master this technique proficiently, it will be a qualitative leap for Luo Chen's alchemy technique.

It even has considerable benefits for cultivation.

In addition to the Qi Control Technique, there are also Alchemy Techniques such as Light Absorbing Technique and Wuxiang Hand which Luo Chen found to be unfathomable at first glance.

According to the records on the bamboo slips, the method of absorbing light can capture various kinds of light in nature and use it as medicine, which is mysterious and mysterious.

The Wuxiang Hand is also known as Wuxiang Controls the Void, and can refine some illusory and incorporeal existences into medicine. As for what is an illusory and incorporeal existence?

There are several types briefly listed on the bamboo slips, including seven emotions and six desires, resentment, hatred, separation, etc.

These descriptions really made Luo Chen enjoy it and even opened his eyes.

Can even emotions be used as medicinal materials to refine elixirs?

Of course, such incredible alchemy techniques require extremely high training requirements. Luo Chen cannot learn them in a short time, so he can only memorize them.

In the process of reading a group of books like this, Luo Chen gradually gained a new understanding of the test question left by Demon Lord Liantian.

This day.

Luo Chen sat quietly in front of the desk for a long time, and finally slowly picked up his pen.

Write down the name of each medicine.

"I made a misunderstanding before. I just want to solve the difference between humans and monsters and strengthen the soul."

"In fact, due to the long life span and the accumulation of years, the soul of the monster beast is no less than that of a strong human being of the same level."

"The reason why we are weak is not quantity, but quality!"

"That huge soul has become turbid due to the vicissitudes of time. Even though it is huge, it is not as refined as the human soul."

"So, to solve this problem, the focus is not on strengthening the soul, but on purifying it."

"According to the records on the bamboo slips in the study, the soul-draining grass has the effect of cleansing the soul and clearing the mind. Using it as the main material may be used to refine the corresponding soul-cleansing elixir. As for the auxiliary materials, the red rosy flowers and rotten flowers should be used. Ghost Vine... If this elixir can be successful, I may also be able to benefit from it."

"Just wandering the soul is not advisable. The method of demon cultivating has always been rough. The reason why they have a huge soul but are fragile is also because of the mixed mana. Therefore, the demon cultivator's mana must be refined. In this regard, I have immortal cultivators. Using the commonly used elf pills as a basis, you can create your own pure demon power elixir specifically for the demon tribe.”

…

"Cleaning Qi and Draining Soul, these two pills are the answers I gave in this assessment!"

one year later.

In the alchemy room, Luo Chen held two pills, one black and one white, and read loudly.

This time, the weak voice reappeared.

"The Qi Cleansing Pill is a third-level low-grade pill that can help demons cultivate pure mana."

"Soul-Draining Pill, a third-level low-grade pill, can help demons cultivate their minds and clear their minds, and cleanse their souls."

"The assessment results are excellent and passed!"

The confident Luo Chen smiled slightly and clenched the two pills in his fists.

The scene in front of him began to twist and collapse.

Between the uncertainty of reality and reality, his figure gradually appeared on a mountaintop.

At the foot of the mountain, an old woman was holding a medicine bag and diligently picking spiritual fruits.

In an instant, the two eyes collided.

Luo Chen cupped his hands and said condescendingly, "Demon Lord Qingyang, I have met fellow Taoist!"

The old woman straightened up slowly and said, "I am Haijiao Tianmu, and I have met fellow Taoist priests!"
