Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Strictly speaking, the first book on alchemy that Luo Chen came into contact with was given by Mi Shuhua.

Its name is "Detailed Explanation of Qing Yuanzi's Alchemy".

This book of alchemy records in detail the experience of refining low-level elixirs, and also comes with several basic alchemy techniques such as Huanxi Hand and Zheyu Hand.

When Luo Chen was at a low level, these alchemy techniques provided him with great convenience.

In addition, there is another technique called "Qingyuan Yangdan Technique"!

When Qing Yuanzi wrote this book on alchemy, his realm was only the foundation-building period, but he was able to refine a third-level elixir.

He didn't have a plug-in like Luo Chen's attribute panel, and the reason why he could refine elixirs that exceeded his own realm was because of the Yangdan Technique.

Qingyuan Yangdan Technique:

It requires alchemy tools, at least the top-grade magic tool level, the best is better, and the best is the magic weapon level!

And the elixir to be nurtured must also be of the best grade!

Not only that, during the nurturing process, at least ten portions of raw materials need to be provided.

In addition, it is also necessary to take advantage of the geographical location, preferably a spiritual vein, and at least a special environment that is beneficial to the elixir.

Finally, the alchemist needs to temper the quality of the elixir with the foundation-building true fire at all times.

And this nurturing time is at least half a year, up to a hundred years.

It can be said that the process is cumbersome and time-consuming!

Luo Chen has a deep memory of this method, mainly because the conditions for performing this alchemy are extremely harsh for Qi-refining foundation-building cultivators!

But from the current realm, these so-called harsh conditions are actually not that difficult to meet.

Moreover, Luo Chen, with the alchemy attainments of a fourth-level alchemist, reversed the Qingyuan Yangdan technique and found that there were many mistakes and omissions in it.

Even so, Luo Chen still thinks that this alchemy technique has certain merits.

In particular, he has naturally met certain conditions.

He has a fourth-level spiritual vein.

He has the spiritual withering true fire required.

And he has no shortage of time.

As for other conditions...

"The quality of the pill needs to be top-grade, but that is only for low-grade pills with insufficient medicinal power. My fourth-grade infant-forming pill, if placed below the fourth grade, is it not the best of the best?"

"About ten portions of raw materials, that is not a problem. Although there are not many scraps left, I have ten complete pills, the effect will only be better!"

"The only thing that limits me is the alchemy equipment."

Luo Chen already has the idea of ​​nourishing the infant-forming pill to improve its quality.

Just like what he said to Han Zhan, if you can ensure 100% success, why take a 70% or 80% chance to take risks?

Luo Chen has a headache about the alchemy equipment.

The Hunyuan Ding cannot be used.

Two of the three spare alchemy equipment were scrapped after the alchemy because they could not withstand the firepower of the withered and prosperous true fire.

The remaining alchemy furnace is now in danger.

In theory, Luo Chen has no backup.

But he actually had something in his hand!

Swish!

With a flash of inspiration, a yellow copper basin fell in front of him.

It was the Dragon-raising Basin!

This treasure has the effect of nourishing treasures and improving their grades.

In the past, Luo Chen used it to nourish the Hunyuan Ding, and nourished his life magic weapon very well. It was originally estimated that it would take two or three hundred years to completely remove impurities, but after using the Dragon-raising Basin, it took only a few decades for the Hunyuan Ding to show its edge.

At that time, he thought that this magic weapon could only be used to nourish weapons.

But later he slowly realized that this was a cliché and was affected by the operation of Qian Ting, the previous owner of the Dragon-raising Basin.

This magic weapon can actually be used not only to nourish weapons, but also to nourish elixirs, and even mineral materials and herbs.

Its effect is outstanding, and it is definitely not something that contemporary immortal cultivators can refine.

Luo Chen had no intention of delving into the origin of the dragon-raising basin, but it had become the best tool for nurturing the infant pill.

After thinking carefully for two days and making sure that nothing was missed, Luo Chen began the steps before nurturing the pill.

He placed the dragon-raising basin in the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the earth abyss.

A magic array was set up nearby, and then nine infant pills were placed in it.

Yes, only nine were placed.

In case of an accident, Luo Chen left one.

In this way, even if the pill failed to be nurtured, Luo Chen would not lack a spare.

Finally, it was the withering and flourishing true fire!

Luo Chen separated a wisp of the withering and flourishing true fire, which burned slowly and could last for a year.

After a year, it can be replenished.

Speaking of which, the trick of splitting the fire was also learned from the seclusion in these years.

In the past, there was only one withering and flourishing true fire, and it was definitely impossible to split it.

But after the withering and flourishing fire absorbed many fire spirits and its foundation became more and more profound, Luo Chen learned this trick without a teacher.

He had specially separated three fire seeds for Tianxuan before, which was a flexible application of this method.

Looking at the medicinal power of the eight pills in the copper basin, slowly gathering towards the one in the middle under the guidance of the formation, Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Before he had more raw materials to refine pills, improve his proficiency in alchemy, and refine medium-grade or even high-grade infant-forming pills, this pill-raising technique could improve the grade of the finished pills, even if it was only a small level, it was definitely a pleasant surprise.

"I don't ask for it to be upgraded to the fifth level, but as long as it can be upgraded from the fourth-level lower grade to the middle-grade, or even the upper grade, it will be enough for me to form an infant."

Luo Chen muttered and returned to the hut.

Glancing at the attribute panel, on the upper realm column, the ninth level of the golden elixir has reached halfway.

It's only ten years away from the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage.

Maybe I need to hurry up.

...

It's not that nervous to say.

In the cultivation of the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage, after eliminating the process of trying to combine the three treasures, Luo Chen just increased his magic power and polished his magic power. What he did was very simple.

Therefore, he often went out when he had time to chat with Han Zhan and ask him about the many precautions in the process of forming a baby.

The place for chatting and discussing Taoism is usually on Xiaqiu Mountain, which is also the highest and most beautiful place in the entire Longyuan Island.

This day.

Luo Chen and Han Zhan still sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting.

"It has been seventeen years since I came to Longyuan Island. I see that your realm is only one step away from the perfection of the Golden Core, but I find that your three treasures of spirit, energy and spirit are still clearly separated. Luo Chen, have you gone astray?"

Han Zhan raised the doubts that he had suppressed for a long time.

Over the years, Luo Chen had re-carved the Hidden Formation, and the source power was always permeating his body, so he could not observe Luo Chen's specific situation.

He could only glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the other party through occasional communication.

But he could still see that the spirit, energy and spirit were not subordinate to each other and there was no sign of fusion.

In response, Luo Chen laughed dumbly.

"Since the senior knows this, how can he not know the principle of balance and order of the three treasures. How dare I force the fusion without absolute certainty?"

Han Zhan thought, "You have always been developing in all aspects, with almost no shortcomings, how could the three treasures be unbalanced? Is it because of the gap caused by too strong physique?"

Luo Chen smiled and nodded.

The other party did not doubt his lack of spiritual foundation.

This is natural.

Although Luo Chen has not deliberately practiced advanced spiritual cultivation techniques, his spiritual foundation has always been good.

When he was at the sixth level of Jindan, he could be compared to the eighth level of Jindan, infinitely close to the great cultivators at the ninth level of Jindan.

Now, he is one step away from the perfection of the golden elixir, and his soul foundation is also unknowingly approaching that of a Yuanying stage cultivator.

In the final analysis, the reason why Luo Chen cannot go further is that his physique is too strong and his mana is too weak.

However!

This problem is about to be solved.

As his fingertips circled, a ray of spiritual light flickered slightly.

Although the amount is small, the power contained in it is eye-catching.

Han Zhan looked at this scene in shock, somewhat unbelievable.

Is this the quality of mana that a golden elixir cultivator can have?

Its purity is completely comparable to the mana of a condensed cultivator's Yuanying body!

He shook his head and sighed: "I don't know how you polished it to such an extent. Now it seems that the loss of the second Yuandan is a blessing in disguise for you."

Luo Chen felt the same way.

In the past, when he practiced two golden elixirs at the same time, he pursued quantity too much and unknowingly neglected to polish his mana.

Although still more pure than his peers, he still lacks something and is far from the limit of what Luo Chen can do.

In the past ten years on Longyuan Island, Luo Chen, who has calmed down, has returned to the right path.

Every ray of mana that condenses the golden elixir has been continuously purified by him, and then continuously tempered with the withered and flourishing true fire, and finally a qualitative change has occurred.

Now, even if the level of mana is still not as good as the source power, with the cooperation of the power of the soul, he can barely achieve the fusion of the three treasures.

Luo Chen has made plans to carry out this process when his golden elixir is perfect.

Han Zhan, knowing that Luo Chen has reached this point, also explained the details to him.

When a cultivator reaches the ninth level of the golden elixir, he must coordinate the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit to achieve a certain balance.

And the sign of this balance is the condensation of the primordial fetus!

The essence, blood, soul and spirit are integrated into the golden elixir, and the so-called primordial fetus is achieved with the golden elixir as the carrier.

This is completely different from the early stage of the golden elixir, when the soul is contaminated with mana.

That kind of contamination is just a passing visitor, and it will be collected at the first touch.

But this kind of integration requires a long-term stay.

When a certain opportunity comes, the Yuantai will resonate with the heaven and earth, and there will be "fetal movement" that only the cultivator can feel.

At that time, it will be the day of forming an infant!

To summarize:

The three treasures are united, and the golden elixir turns into a fetus.

Fetal movement transcends the tribulation, and the elixir is broken into an infant!

Only then can you become a Yuanying Zhenren of the generation, and you can feel the real vastness of the world!

Luo Chen was fascinated by what he heard, and his mind kept reflecting on the classics he had read in the past.

It is said that in ancient times, the realm of Qi Refiners was not as strict as it is now, and there were many titles.

For example, the Qi Refining Stage is divided into Qi Induction and Spiritual Light, and the Foundation Building Stage has the sayings of opening the orifices, sensing, dividing the meridians, and turning into liquid.

Especially in the Jindan Stage, it is more complicated.

Entering the spirit, removing evil, seeking roots, fetal movement... There are several titles, between the Jindan and Yuanying stages.

But all methods return to the origin, and the way of refining qi is ultimately the same. When these mysterious titles are combined with his own practice, Luo Chen suddenly understands.

Han Zhan's words pointed out a clear path for him in the chaos.

A clear path that has been verified countless times by predecessors in the current world of immortal cultivation!

At dusk, this discussion came to an end.

After Luo Chen stood up, he bowed to Han Zhan with a respectful and sincere attitude.

"You..."

"Although you and I have supported each other along the way, it is the senior who has given more guidance and I have benefited more. This bow is from the bottom of my heart."

Han Zhan was a little caught off guard. Luo Chen had never respected him so much before!

In the past, I was a remnant of a Nascent Soul, lingering under Luo Chen's roof.

Even though there was a difference in realm, the situation was beyond my control.

Especially in order to seek this body to take over, he worked hard to help Luo Chen improve his strength and study fighting methods.

Now that the other party spoke from the heart, he was a little stunned.

Just looking at Luo Chen's sincere expression, his eyes gradually became complicated and he was speechless for a while.

At this moment, Luo Chen suddenly turned around!

Han Zhan was puzzled, but the next moment his expression moved slightly, and he looked up at the endless blue sea in the distance.

There was a strong momentum, which was constantly brewing in the deep sea.

In the sky, dark clouds suddenly gathered.

It came for no reason, and its momentum was very strong!

Crack!

There was a flash of white light, and thunder and lightning flashed through the air.

"This is a sign of tribulation!" Han Zhan blurted out.

Luo Chen looked doubtful and finally shook his head slowly.

"It's not a tribulation, but a natural outcome. The heaven and earth celebrate with thunder."

As expected.

The next moment, the dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated.

Just as they gathered for no reason, they also dissipated silently.

There was no thunder and lightning, cold wind and rain.

On the sea not far from Longyuan Island, countless spiritual energy gathered and formed a funnel shape, pouring back into the sea.

Han Zhan looked at this scene in astonishment, and vaguely felt a sense of déjà vu.

Suddenly!

He set his sights on Luo Chen.

Yes, the last time this strange celestial phenomenon appeared, it appeared on Luo Chen.

At that time, he was in Penghu, and his body had undergone a transformation, as if he had turned into an ancient wild beast!

"Black King, is this the path of wild beast evolution?" Han Zhan said.

Luo Chen nodded slowly, "That's right. His demon pill has been broken, and the blood pill I condensed for him is just a stopgap measure. And the Black King mentioned more than once in the early years that he didn't want to take the path of demon beast transformation, and instinctively wanted to take the path of wild beast. Now, it can be regarded as a final decision!"

The same promotion to the fourth level, the demon beast will have a qualitative change.

Not only can it transform into a human form, but it can also condense a Yuanying like a human, that is, it is called a demon king, also known as a demon cultivator.

At the same time, the perception of the world is faster than the original demon body.

But the wild beast, except for the birth of the source of power, has not changed much.

This is also the main reason why most demon beasts changed their sects and took the path of transformation after the ancient war.

It is not known whether the Black King's choice is right or wrong.

At this time, Han Zhan had a different feeling.

"It was said before that the wild beasts were the real darlings of the mountain and sea world. Even when they were promoted to the fourth level, this world would not bring down thunder tribulations."

"At that time, I just thought it was a rumor."

"But with the example of you and the Black King, I have to believe it now."

When it comes to thunder tribulations, Han Zhan asked curiously: "Have you ever thought about how to resist the power of heaven and survive the thunder tribulations of the Nascent Soul when you are promoted to the Nascent Soul?"

Luo Chen nodded, but did not say much. Instead, he jumped up and flew to the coast on the auspicious clouds.

Standing there quietly, Luo Chen sensed the transformation of the Black King.

This stop lasted for one night.

The next morning.

The waves parted, and a huge dark black dragon head slowly emerged from the water.

The face was like a camel, the horn was like an inverted cone, and there were spiral patterns spreading in circles.

Two strands of yellow beards hung down leisurely.

The slightly opened mouth revealed one white tooth after another, as if ready to bite anything that dared to challenge it at any time.

Huh...

When he exhaled, two streams of smoke spewed out from his huge nostrils, splashing countless waves.

And under the high bulge of his eyebrows, his golden eyes were wide open, standing straight up, containing a cold and chilling meaning.

Just one glance at each other, and you can tell the violence contained in it.

Luo Chen looked calm and slowly stretched out his right hand.

At this moment, the dragon head showed hesitation and struggle in his eyes.

But in the end, he slowly brought the dragon head closer to him intimately.

With his palm on the slippery dragon face, Luo Chen showed a satisfied smile.

He could feel that he and the Black King still had a vague connection.

It was not a slave seal.

That slave seal had already collapsed when his physical body was reborn. Not only the Black King, but even Tianxuan now did not have his slave seal.

This connection came from blood!

Now that he thought about it, the reason why the Black King finally decided to evolve into a wild beast was not only because of instinct, but also because of the drop of blood essence on his tongue tip.

He, Luo Chen, also practiced the method of refining the body of wild beasts!

"Master..."

A thick and heavy voice slowly sounded.

Dong!

Luo Chen patted his face and said with a smile: "Go back! It's not easy to advance. Consolidate your realm and don't wander around. Soon, I will try to break through the Nascent Soul stage. You will have to protect Longyuan Island to prevent the disturbance of scoundrels."

The Black King snorted, slowly retreated to the sea, and then rose up and plunged into the sea like a sharp arrow.

In the splashing water, Luo Chen vaguely saw the four legs under the belly of the Black King.

Although it is still a single horn, it has four legs in its belly after all, and has become a real dragon!

Instead of being weird as before.

Luo Chen turned around, facing the morning glow, with a smile on his face, showing that he was in a good mood.

Tianxuan had been waiting for a long time in the back.

Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but ask: "Master, has the Black King advanced?"

"Yes." Luo Chen patted her shoulder as he passed by her, and encouraged her with a smile: "Don't fall too far behind!"

He was in a very good mood.

He was not embarrassed at all because his pet had advanced to the next level before him.

To be honest, he had achieved the fourth-level wild beast body before the other party, so what was there to be embarrassed about?

He was only relieved that everything he had invested had finally borne fruit.

But he didn't know what the Black King could do now?

...

After returning to the Earth Abyss, Luo Chen stayed at home and didn't even visit Han Zhan.

Obviously, he had begun to truly close himself off.

Time passed slowly.

His mana began to increase at an unquestionable speed.

When the entire huge sea of ​​qi could no longer absorb a drop of spiritual energy, it meant that he had reached the peak of the golden elixir stage - the great perfection!

At this point, the mana could no longer make any progress, and it was impossible to continue to polish and purify it.

Only a red golden elixir that was compressed to the extreme and condensed was hanging high in the sea of ​​qi like a big sun.

Luo Chen tried to combine the three treasures into one, mobilizing the sea of ​​consciousness and soul to merge into the golden elixir. Not only that, drop after drop of blood essence emerged from every corner of his body and gathered towards the golden elixir.

His originally strong body seemed to become shriveled and withered.

But in the sea of ​​qi.

The liquid blood essence, the solid golden elixir, and the illusory soul began to entangle and merge into one.

An indescribable change continued to occur in him, constantly transformed, and continued to spread towards the peak.

Until three years later.

Boom!

A light sound, barely audible.

A circle of invisible ripples stirred up on the white-robed Taoist sitting in the thatched cottage, causing the ground to roar.

The Taoist slowly opened his eyes.

The fetus moved!
