Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

[A complete formula for the Derivative Pill has been detected, level 5.]

[Do you want to enter?]

The bright entry quietly floated on the panel.

After confirming that the formula was true, Luo Chen's ecstatic mood gradually calmed down.

He began to calculate.

Before he came to the Land of Fallen Demons, he had accumulated a total of 334 achievement points over the years.

Without the Black Chess of Lan Ke, his own soul foundation was slightly insufficient. In order to prevent powerful beings like the Mermaid Emperor Liujun from attacking him with charming sounds or even phantom magic, he spent 34 achievement points and forcibly entered the fourth-level magic that Han Zhan had passed on to him - the Kaimao technique.

In the third level of the pill world, he wanted to use the super-fast pill refining speed to disturb the mind of his competitor Haijiao Tianmu, so he used another 30 achievement points to enter the three types of demon body refining pills. This was actually a bit of a waste. With his ability, he could have refined the third-level pills normally with a little time.

In the fourth level, there are three kinds of transformation pills. In addition to the human transformation pill, he used 20 achievement points to enter the magic transformation pill and the demon transformation pill. This is not a waste. With his own level, it would take several years to enter a pill formula for the fourth-level pill. For example, after getting the original version of the infant formation pill from Han Zhan, Luo Chen spent decades trying to figure it out, but he was still a little unsure.

So far, there are exactly 250 achievement points left on the panel.

What a fool!

Originally, Luo Chen was a little worried about whether the accumulated achievement points were enough.

But after entering the fifth level, he had sensed that this would be the last level of the inheritance assessment.

The question of the assessment was to refine a fifth-level derivative pill.

It was not uncommon for Luo Chen to refine pills across a large realm. He often did this.

In the Qi Refining Stage, he refined the second-level Emperor Flowing Slurry, in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he refined the third-level Nether Yuan Pill, and in the Golden Pill Stage, he refined the fourth-level Black Emperor Paste, Purple Qi Anti-Poison Pill, and even the Transformation Pill.

Only this time, it was more prominent.

Because, he was a fourth-level alchemist, but his own realm was the Golden Core Stage, and the derivative pill he wanted to refine was the fifth-level.

In this case, should it be considered as a leap across a major realm? Or across two major realms?

This made Luo Chen a little confused.

If it was a leap across a major realm, it would be easy to say. According to the plug-in rules explored in the early years, it generally consumes between ten and one hundred achievement points.

But if it was two major realms, it would be difficult.

One hundred to one thousand?

In this case, are two hundred and fifty achievement points enough?

Looking at the entries on the attribute panel, Luo Chen calculated for a long time, but he was still hesitant to make up his mind.

"Don't act rashly!"

In the end, Luo Chen suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

Although the pill recipe is good, it must be really refined.

The attribute panel is his biggest plug-in. When his own alchemy level is not as good as Haijiao Tianmu, he left her behind by riding a horse, relying on the achievement points to force entry, saving a lot of unnecessary trial and error time.

If the achievement points invested in it are not enough to get started, then the gain will be greater than the loss.

Therefore, Luo Chen does not plan to get started directly, but to study the recipe thoroughly first!

The rules of panel usage that he has figured out are not just those on the surface.

For some spells, if the prerequisites are met, forcibly skipping the level to get started can save a lot of achievement points. For example, the fourth-level spell Kaimao not long ago did not cost him a hundred achievement points.

Another example is high-level elixirs. The deeper the understanding of the recipe, the higher the level of one's own alchemy, and the more achievement points can be saved by forcibly skipping the level to get started. For specific examples, you can refer to the entry of Emperor Liujiang during the Qi Refining Period.

"Let's take it step by step first!"

Luo Chen stood up and left the dark little room.

...

"The so-called Qi control technique is the means of distinguishing, controlling, and attracting external spiritual energy."

"This technique is more like a spell than an alchemy technique, but it is more gentle in terms of alchemy."

In the alchemy world, on top of a peak.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, letting the strong wind hit his face, and his Taoist robe rustled.

His eyes were clear, and his fingertips kept pinching the seals.

Overall, it was a little sluggish.

Time, more than half a year has passed since he came to the fifth level.

During this half year, he devoted himself to studying the recipe of the Yanfa Pill, and even specially copied it out in two copies, one engraved on the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness, and the other written on the bamboo slip with pen and ink.

The former is for preservation, and the latter is convenient for viewing at any time.

However, the research progress of this pill recipe is extremely slow.

Under normal circumstances, the fifth-level pill can only be refined by a fifth-level alchemist, and some powerful fourth-level alchemists can also refine it across levels.

If the realm is used to correspond, it is the difference between the transformation of the spirit and the Nascent Soul stage.

In this way, the refining of this pill recipe has many seemingly simple, but insurmountable innate conditions for the Golden Core cultivator!

How to say it?

Just like the third-level elixir, it often requires the true fire of the cultivator to help at the critical moment, but the true fire can only be activated by the foundation-building stage and above. Can the cultivator of the Qi Refining stage do it? He can't do it!

The fifth-level elixir also has many similar restrictions.

Without knowing the details, Luo Chen had to split it up for research.

From the pharmacology of each medicinal material, to the specific alchemy method, the most complicated alchemy technique, etc., split it up bit by bit.

In the end, he suddenly discovered that the first three levels gave him a lot of help at this moment.

The main materials and auxiliary materials required for the Yanfa Pill are all recorded on the bamboo slips in the study of the first three levels, and it is not difficult for him to understand it now.

As for the alchemy technique, he also found that he had already learned it in the first three levels.

In addition to the most basic Su Xin Hand and Zhai Xing Hand, the most important thing to master now is the Qi Control Technique!

"If I were in the Nascent Soul stage, this technique would be easy for me."

"But unfortunately, I am only in the Golden Core stage."

After failing to control the Qi again, Luo Chen showed a bitter smile on his face.

The Qi Control Technique is not difficult, but it is only for the Nascent Soul True Person.

Because the Nascent Soul True Person can control the real Nascent Soul field and distinguish the attributes of the free heaven and earth aura in the natural space.

Even if they can only control the system they are best at, they can also calmly promote the aura of other attributes without fighting.

Han Zhan had told him about the specific operation before, which is nothing more than a trick to use force to fight force.

But the understanding of the Golden Core cultivators about the world is too shallow.

In a chaos, how can they distinguish the difference in attributes?

"Take it easy, as long as you get started, everything will be fine!"

Under the bitter smile, Luo Chen still had some confidence.

This is the function of the proficiency panel. It is not a problem that you cannot practice to a high level, but you are afraid of being blocked at the threshold.

And now, Luo Chen has vaguely found the key to entry.

The mana on his body is flowing, his eyes are clear, and his consciousness is radiating.

Not only that, the Senluo Fire Prison is expanding directly.

Faintly, the heaven and earth seem to have a hot spiritual energy echoing each other!

A few days later.

Luo Chen paused the spiritual formula in his hand, and a wisp of spiritual energy was collected from the void by him!

Luo Chen's eyes condensed, looking at the wisp of spiritual energy circling at his fingertips, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

The attribute panel unfolded.

In the column of alchemy, [Introduction to the Art of Controlling Qi 1/100] flashed a faint light.

"It's done!"

Luo Chen was relieved and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Next, practice madly every day to increase his proficiency.

According to his estimation, at least the perfect level is required to barely cope with the refining of the derivative pill. If it can reach the master level, it will be even better.

The Grandmaster level on the panel is equal to the standard of the outside world, which is the limit of an ordinary alchemist's life.

Luo Chen stood up, went down the peak, and headed towards the stone house of the fifth level.

After a while, he pushed open the door of the pharmacy.

All kinds of medicinal materials emitting powerful spiritual energy were placed on wooden shelves in different categories.

Some were covered by mana shields, or hidden in jade boxes and golden cauldrons.

This was the most refreshing one in the five levels of the alchemy world assessment.

Luo Chen did not need to spend energy to collect medicinal materials, as they had been prepared in advance!

In this regard, Luo Chen estimated that the previous levels had already tested the alchemist's ability to identify and process medicinal materials, and the fifth level directly skipped this step.

However, even so, Luo Chen did not take it lightly.

He waved his hand, the lid of the cauldron flew up, and a fist-sized red fruit slowly flew out.

Looking at the red fruit, Luo Chen's eyes were obsessed.

Fifth-level spiritual medicine, Yaochen Zhuguo!

This is a kind of spiritual medicine that he had never heard of before entering the Land of Fallen Demons.

He recognized its name on the bamboo slips of the Dan Realm.

It grows on the tip of the Yao Chi Zi Chen, invisible but with form. It will only condense into a solid body after being picked, and it needs to be paired with the corresponding alchemy technique when picking, otherwise it will only be a cloud of mist.

It can be taken raw to strengthen the soul!

And if it is used as medicine... its power is even more mysterious.

A specific example is the Yanfa Pill!

This is why Luo Chen is so obsessed with this fruit.

Because it is the only main ingredient of the Yanfa Pill!

According to the records on the bamboo slips, the Yao Chen Zhu Fruit is born in the fourth level, with a maturity period of three thousand years, one level per period, and a total of three periods.

When it reaches its peak, it is as high as the seventh level!

The Yao Chen Zhu Fruit in this golden cauldron is exactly the fifth level of the first maturity period.

Before the Demon Lord Lian Tian, ​​no one knew how to use the Yao Chen Zhu Fruit, and they all took it raw to strengthen the soul.

After the Refining Heavenly Demon Lord, there was a recipe for refining medicine and achieving the Yanfa Shendan.

The talent of a generation of True Lords can be seen just through a recipe!

"If I don't refine the elixir and eat it directly, I wonder if it can strengthen my soul?"

Inexplicably, Luo Chen had this thought.

But in the end, he gave up the idea.

Everything in the elixir world made Luo Chen feel like a dream.

The herbs all over the mountains and fields cannot be taken away.

The bamboo slips as vast as the sea of ​​smoke cannot be taken away.

Only the finished elixir can be put into the storage ring.

He didn't know whether the Yaochen Zhuguo would retain its effect after being taken raw and passed to the next stage.

Moreover, the number of Yaochen Zhuguo in the golden cauldron is limited, and he must consider the consumables of the Yanfa Dan.

"Study it carefully!"

...

As Luo Chen studied the elixir recipe, practiced the elixir technique, and became familiar with the medicinal materials, time passed slowly.

A year passed in a flash!

On this day, Luo Chen, who stood on the top of the mountain, put his hands together and made a seal. A stream of huge air currents, like a dragon, roared and rushed towards him from all directions.

Suddenly.

He turned the seal, and the air currents began to disperse, gradually revealing various colors of spiritual light.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen's eyes were filled with surprise.

Controlling the air is like a dragon, each one is natural!

In one year, the air control technique has been perfected and reached the master level!

This was something he had never expected at the beginning.

It took him half a year to get started.

But after getting started, if you master one method, you will master all methods!

He used Senluo Fire Prison as a guide to control the fire-attributed spiritual energy between heaven and earth. This was the first stage.

In the second stage, he tried to transform the spiritual energy, using the five elements of the golden elixir to attract the five elements of spiritual energy.

Finally, he remembered his signature spell, the Qingyang Great Handprint, which reached the pinnacle!

This technique was not a fire-attributed spell at the beginning, but the innate one-qi great handprint of the five elements!

Therefore, Luo Chen returned to his original heart, reversed the Qingyang Great Handprint, and performed the innate one-qi great handprints of the other four systems, so as to cooperate with the control of qi to attract the other four attributes of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

After the three stages, Luo Chen's proficiency in the control of qi reached the perfect level.

Then, with uninterrupted practice, he accumulated proficiency step by step, and finally crossed the threshold of the Grandmaster level.

After reaching this stage, Luo Chen could even feel that when he activated this elixir technique, he could attract the spiritual energy of other attributes in addition to the five elements between heaven and earth.

Wind, thunder, ice, light, dark...

At this moment, Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the green rock on the top of the mountain, slowly closed his eyes, as if he had realized something.

Three days later, Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

First, he pointed a finger at his chest, and the golden elixir in his body trembled, and the Senluo Fire Prison instantly unfolded.

Then, he pinched his left hand and performed the air control technique.

In the void, a large amount of fire attribute spiritual energy surged and injected into the Senluo Fire Prison.

In an instant, Luo Chen almost felt that he was in control of the world and was the only one who was supreme!

But in just a moment, the Senluo Fire Prison collapsed.

"Hmph..."

Luo Chen snorted, his face looked a little pale.

The unrefined spiritual energy of heaven and earth, integrated into the Senluo Fire Prison, still seemed a little reluctant.

But!

He really caught that feeling.

That was the real Nascent Soul Realm!

Under the pale face, the eyes were shining.

"I never thought that practicing alchemy could achieve the effect of using other people's stones to polish jade, and make my pseudo-domain go further!"

"With this one gain, my trip to the Land of Fallen Demons is worth it!"

Luo Chen knew very well that if he kept practicing the feeling he had captured, he would have a great chance of mastering the real realm of heaven and earth.

In other words, he would master the so-called Nascent Soul realm in the Golden Core Stage.

Such an achievement is also shocking in this huge world of immortal cultivation.

However, now is not the time to study this technique in depth.

He has more important things to do.

The attribute panel was opened again.

The complete recipe of [Yanfa Pill] appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

He has done what he can to the extreme.

Even if some places can be improved, the progress is not that great.

He is not sure when the Land of Fallen Demons will be closed.

There is also Haijiao Tianmu chasing him from behind.

Therefore, whether he succeeds or not, he has to take that step forcefully.

[The complete recipe of Yanfa Pill is detected, fifth level. 】

[Do you want to enter the realm? ]

Luo Chen took a deep breath and silently said the word "entry".

The next moment, he saw the achievement points on the panel quickly disappear.

250, 240...180, 170...

There has never been a moment when achievement points are consumed so quickly.

There has never been a moment when Luo Chen's heart is so uneasy.

His mind was fixed on the panel, and when the number of achievement points dropped to [160], his breathing almost stopped.

The next moment.

[150]

Cardiac arrest!

After a breath, the heart beat again.

Luo Chen opened his mouth and finally laughed silently.

There was no further drop, and the number of achievement points remained at [150].

In other words, entering the realm of this pill recipe consumed exactly one hundred achievement points.

Logically, he should feel sorry.

One hundred achievement points means that the fifth-level pill corresponds to his fourth-level alchemist level, which is just one level higher and still within the range of one hundred achievement points. In other words, even if he didn't do those things before, he could get started directly.

Those things were all in vain.

But!

"It's good to get started."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and went down the mountain.

He returned to the stone house, sat in meditation for three days, bathed, changed clothes, and burned incense to calm his mind.

Three days later, Luo Chen left the stone house with a lot of medicinal materials.

He found a mountain top with abundant spiritual energy, which was at least four levels, opened his mouth and spit, and the Hunyuan Ding flew out.

Everything was ready, and success or failure depended on the next alchemy result.

Luo Chen, who was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, flicked his finger, and the withered and flourishing true fire fell under the Hunyuan Ding, and the flames suddenly surged!
