Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Under the Heaven and Earth Peak, the Passing River surges and surges.

Just like how time flies, day and night pass quietly without stopping.

Unknowingly, half a year passed quietly.

In Cave No. 78, Fu Qinglan looked worriedly at the tall sycamore tree. Even if it was covered with snow, it could not hide its green color.

What really caught her eye was the man in white shirt sitting on top of the tree.

"Grandpa, is he really okay?"

Fu Chaosheng stood beside him, equally worried.

In the past, although he was quite old, he could take good care of himself, with a rosy complexion and no wrinkles.

But in just half a year, the whole person seemed to have aged decades, showing the decline of a mortal.

"This is a state of enlightenment. For monks, it is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. Often, if you encounter it once, you will try to extend the time of enlightenment as much as possible. But it happens to be at this time!"

This time is too sensitive!

The Alchemy Saint will ascend soon, and the Mirage Dragon Cave will open. If Luo Chen is still unable to wake up from his epiphany, he will miss something important.

Fu Qinglan was a little envious, "Epiphany? Is his talent really, as you said, grandpa, no less than the genius of the Holy Land?"

Fu Chaosheng smiled bitterly and nodded.

He had no doubt about Luo Chen's talent.

When you are in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, you can learn by yourself without a teacher and understand the method of forming a baby.

Later, he used the body of a casual cultivator to condense the Nascent Soul.

Especially at Beihai Molan Court, he saw with his own eyes that Luo Chen merged with heaven and earth and entered a brief state of enlightenment.

That time was extremely short-lived.

But this time, it lasted for half a year!

"The wandering in the early years made it difficult for him to settle down and cultivate. Now he finally found a place to cultivate, and he has accumulated a lot of wealth in a short time."

"But enlightenment can be divided into good and bad, so I'm afraid I might go astray!"

Fu Chaosheng's concerns are not unreasonable.

Because in the eyes of their grandfather and grandson, Luo Chen's current state is not rising at all, but falling endlessly!

The blending with heaven and earth is vague.

The mana is no longer full of fiery vitality, but has become dead and low.

Even his seemingly youthful face began to show wrinkles, changing towards an old man's state.

The long dark hair that was originally scattered behind her back was now gray.

"Am I too hasty?"

Fu Chaosheng asked himself, and actually felt a little guilty.

"If I don't want to make him more powerful, I'll give him the old version of Taihe Dan. If I don't give him all the fire skills I collected in one go, if I can give him the bottle of flame marrow after it's done... …”

Fu Chaosheng didn't know what went wrong.

But he knew that Luo Chen's changes at this moment must have something to do with him.

This made him doubt himself.

"Am I too courageous, or am I eager for quick success?"

"Or maybe I'm really old and can't tell the difference..."

Just when Fu Chaosheng was shaken in his heart and kept questioning himself, a low cry suddenly came from his ears.

"Grandpa, he seems to be waking up?"

Yes, wake up!

Suddenly, a large amount of spiritual energy around him surged towards Luo Chen.

The lifeless body on the sycamore tree was like a whirlpool, wildly devouring the spiritual energy, and for a moment a small spiritual energy storm formed.

In the storm, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

When his gaze swept over the two of them, his deep black eyes showed an inexplicable hint of vicissitudes of life.

"call……"

With a breath of turbid air, the spiritual energy storm stopped abruptly.

Luo Chen stood up and fell to the ground.

While her long gray hair was flying, the big green tree behind her was inexplicably rotten and turned into ashes.

Seeing this scene, Fu Chaosheng couldn't wait to speak: "Luo Chen, are you okay?"

"What can happen to me? It's just..." Luo Chen said with a smile, but when he spoke, his brows couldn't help but frown.

From the disbelieving looks on the faces of the two people opposite him, he also realized the hoarseness of his voice just now.

"Ahem!"

After coughing twice, Luo Chen spoke again.

"It's just a short break."

This time, his voice was as low and gentle as ever, yet firm and powerful.

It stands to reason that such a voice would give people a lot of confidence, but the father and grandson of the wealthy family were even more worried.

Changing the tone of voice is too simple for a monk.

Luo Chen's change seemed to be hiding something.

In particular, the fluctuation of his mana was almost non-existent, and he stood there like a monk in the Qi refining stage.

No!

He is still an old monk in the Qi refining stage!

"How could this happen?" Fu Chaosheng murmured.

Luo Chen didn't have much time to explain at the moment, "I need to rest, and I will summarize this in-depth practice, so I won't entertain you two. If you want to discuss matters with me, the best time is three to five days later."

This is the way to see off guests.

Fu Chaosheng turned around and left without any entanglement.

On the contrary, Fu Qinglan, when leaving, frequently looked at the man standing in the mountain abyss, letting the breeze blow his long gray hair.

"Grandpa, for some reason, Luo Chen, the deserter, makes me feel more dangerous now than before."

Fu Chaosheng, who was still immersed in self-blame, worry, and confusion, was startled when he heard this.

"really?"

Fu Qinglan nodded slightly, very lightly, but extremely cautiously!

…

The mountain breeze blew for a while, and Luo Chen's trance-like mind that had been in a state of enlightenment for half a year also sobered up a bit.

Return to the cave, take a bath, change clothes, burn incense and sit down.

The gray hair was tied behind his back with a wooden hairpin, and he didn't make any seals. His mind immediately sank into the Purple Palace.

The first scene that caught his eye was the wrinkled Yuanying sitting cross-legged next to a weak flame.

The Yuanying in the past had white skin and delicate muscles.

Unlike the Yuanying at this moment, it was so wrinkled, just like a real newborn baby!

If someone who didn't know the details saw it, they would think that Luo Chen had gone astray and his Taoism had declined greatly.

But when Luo Chen saw this scene, he laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"Although I don't know if this method of practice is suitable for others, it is the most suitable for me."

"I finally figured it out!"

Click on the attribute panel.

The entry of [Great Perfection Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra] in the original skill column has changed at this moment.

Replaced by [Introduction to the Withered and Flourishing Dao Sutra 50/100] renamed by Luo Chen.

Naming it after the Dao Sutra is a bit exaggerated, but it also carries Luo Chen's expectations, using this true scripture to seek the Great Dao!

In particular, Luo Chen did find the direction of the Great Dao in the half-year enlightenment.

This set of self-created exercises, based on the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", incorporates the essence of the "Yanhuang True Sutra" and the "Dongjia Lihuo Sutra" on the running routes of the meridians and acupoints, and draws on the characteristics of the "Purple Yang Divine Art" to accurately absorb the fire attribute aura between heaven and earth.

Not only that, Luo Chen also incorporated the "Micro Dust Yuanshu" he created that year into it to make up for the cultivation of the state of mind.

Even, Luo Chen also absorbed some experience in the cultivation of the soul from the "Soul Splitting Art".

Overall, the "Ku Rong Dao Sutra" is a bit mixed and quite rough, but it inherits the comprehensiveness of the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", from the inside to the outside, from the qi to the spirit, all aspects are taken into account.

In terms of the speed of cultivation, the entry level is equivalent to the previous one, and because there are too many things to consider, it is more troublesome and tiring to operate, and it seems to be a little slower.

But Luo Chen is confident that as his proficiency increases, these shortcomings will be improved one by one, and the speed of cultivation will exceed the original by a lot!

There is one more thing!

When Luo Chen created his own skills, he learned a spell by learning from the theory of the changes of the withered and prosperous true fire.

Its name is "Withered and prosperous divine prohibition"!

It is not quite accurate to say that the spell is a spell. This spell is more inclined to the obscure prohibition in the prohibition, and it also has the prototype of the formation.

To describe it, this spell is a bit like the innate magic of powerful monsters, or the legendary magic.

The focus of this spell is not on attack or defense.

Its function is to assist Luo Chen in cultivation!

With the help of the withered and prosperous true fire, the mana in the Nascent Soul is sealed, so that it cannot be leaked out at ordinary times.

Not only that, during the ban, the withered and prosperous true fire will continue to refine the mana impurities in the body of the Nascent Soul.

It can be said that the changes in Luo Chen's body are all caused by this technique.

Under normal circumstances, "The God of Withering and Flourishing" will seal most of his mana, so that even if he does not use the technique, he will be in a semi-cultivation state.

If he encounters a battle, he will not only return to his peak state and even gain stronger mana temporarily if he unlocks this technique.

In Luo Chen's estimation, the longer the "God of Withering and Flourishing" is sealed, the stronger the burst will be after it is unlocked.

On the surface, this technique has outstanding advantages and great disadvantages.

After all, no Yuanying Zhenren is willing to stay in a semi-weak state all the time. If he encounters an enemy in a hurry and has no time to unlock the seal, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But for Luo Chen, this disadvantage is almost equivalent to nothing.

Because in addition to his huge mana, he also has a higher level of body refining!

There is no counterattack that will come faster than the body's instinct.

After half a year of enlightenment, the benefits seem to be more than that!

"How can my realm be improved so fast?"

Luo Chen looked at the realm column, which was infinitely close to the second level of the Nascent Soul, and reached the progress bar of 90, and was secretly surprised.

He remembered that when he had an epiphany, he didn't practice hard at all?

Most of the time, he was thinking about how to create a more suitable method for himself.

"Could it be caused by that state?"

Luo Chen remembered that when he comprehended the method of forming an infant in the Jindan stage, he also attracted the infusion of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

It was also an epiphany, maybe...

"No, this time I didn't attract much spiritual energy from heaven and earth, although I always felt the continuous and gentle integration of external spiritual energy."

Luo Chen couldn't quite understand how external spiritual energy could actively integrate into his body without running the method.

After thinking carefully for a long time, he still didn't have an answer.

Luo Chen had to give up.

Or rather, he was used to it.

The path of cultivation is like this. In many things at the current realm, cultivators know the results but don't know the reasons.

Often, when you reach a higher realm, you will look back and suddenly realize that it was actually like this at that time.

At this time, the cultivator will be inspired and will write books from a higher perspective, creating a method for later generations to practice.

Later generations will practice step by step according to the method, even if they don’t understand, they will step by step reach the height of their predecessors.

In a broad sense, this is the so-called inheritance!

After accepting the current situation, Luo Chen quickly set a plan for the next practice.

That is not to practice!

The realm is improved too quickly, even if it seems that the foundation is very solid, but there is always a little uneasy in the heart.

In terms of the method, Luo Chen also feels that it can be adjusted.

Therefore, don’t rush to improve, and focus on stabilizing the realm first.

…

Without a rush to practice, Luo Chen's life became free.

After meeting the rich grandfather and grandson, he explained that his strength was not affected. At that time, they did not believe it, so Luo Chen showed off his skills.

The signature spell Qingyang Great Handprint was still extremely powerful, which made them feel relieved.

Luo Chen was not in a hurry to prove himself, anyway, he had a bottom line in his heart.

In addition to adjusting the skills, Luo Chen spent the extra time on alchemy.

Whether it was Hongyuan Pill or Dahun Pill, the proficiency was stuck at the perfect level before.

The reason for the stuck time had nothing to do with Luo Chen's alchemy skills, but purely because of the insufficient number of medicinal materials.

After Fu Chaosheng sent a large amount of resources last time, Luo Chen could open the furnace again to improve his proficiency.

He calculated the time very well.

When the proficiency is raised to the Grandmaster level, the realm will be almost stable at that time.

When he starts practicing again, he will have the top-grade Hongyuan Pill and the top-grade Dahun Pill as assistance, and the realm can soar rapidly again.

Everything is in order, leisurely and beautiful!

Perhaps because he was worried about Luo Chen's condition, Fu Qinglan came to Cave No. 78 more and more frequently when Luo Chen was refining the elixir behind closed doors.

The time he stayed was getting longer and longer.

The two of them got along better and better from being unfamiliar at the beginning.

Luo Chen did not resist this way of getting along. He knew that the 500-year competition of Tianyuan Dao Sect was not as simple as he imagined.

According to historical records, although there was no death of cultivators in the Shenlong Cave Heaven, trust between the contestants and the protectors was indispensable to obtain rich rewards.

Luo Chen was also taking this opportunity to cultivate a tacit understanding with the other party.

As for how to cultivate?

That is playing chess!

In the cave, on the small chessboard, the man was struggling, while the woman was calm.

"I push!"

"I push! No, you have to hold out here, how can you kill the general if you don't?"

"You are pressing too hard, surrounded by enemies, all ambushes."

"Then you cross the board, didn't I teach you the method of crossing the board? The "Chunshan Hall Chess Manual" also records in detail the seven solutions for this situation."

"I remember it clearly, but it is obvious that you have hidden a backhand here, right?"

"You can see it."

The woman smiled slightly, and a piece fell, and it suddenly became a dragon-slaying momentum.

Luo Chen had no choice but to throw away the chess piece in his hand and declared his defeat generously.

He found that this woman might not have the temperament of a Yuanying Zhenren in dealing with people, but that was just a lack of experience.

But in the way of Go, she was quite confident, and had a killing demeanor that could decide the life and death of others.

If this demeanor could be transformed into a style of action, it would not be just talk on paper.

Fu Qinglan counted the chess pieces while asking casually, "Do you have any research on the twelve opponents?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said confidently, "I have read the intelligence and analyzed it."

"Lin Bufan's protector Lin Jingtang was a servant of the Lin family. He did not join the Tianyuan Dao Sect and traveled in other continents all year round. He formed a fetus at the age of 478. He has average qualifications but outstanding fighting skills. He has a real weapon, the Jinghuang Bell..."

"Yu Xu's protector is the leader of the Tianshan Sect, a declining sect in southern Xinjiang. He is named after the sect and is called Tianshan Zhenren. He formed a fetus not long ago, so he should not be feared. But he must have something unique to be able to practice to the Nascent Soul stage in a place like southern Xinjiang. I will be careful of the poisonous insects."

"Gu Yuan, a descendant of a wealthy family..."

When Luo Chen mentioned this name, he paused, as if he remembered a familiar place in his memory.

Fu Qinglan was looking forward to the following.

Luo Chen smiled and told the story.

"His protector is Mou Jianxiong from the Mou family, one of the thirty-six aristocratic families. This person should not be underestimated. Although he is from an aristocratic family, he has been taught by the ancient family since he was a child. However, this person is good at water magic. I am confident that I can suppress him by using the water and fire counteraction method."

"The information about the protector of the Shi family's participating disciples is a little unclear..."

Luo Chen spoke in an orderly manner, with extraordinary confidence in his words.

Fu Qinglan relaxed as she listened.

The other party was not as careless as he seemed on the surface. In fact, he had remembered all the opponents as much as possible.

At last.

Luo Chen said: "Of course, these are just information on paper. The specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail. If I can see these people with my own eyes, or have a record of their actions, I will be more confident."

Fu Qinglan nodded in agreement.

"That's right. After all, the information may be deliberately spread by them to mislead others."

Suddenly, she changed the subject.

"Right now, there is an opportunity for you to meet these people."

"Oh?" Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, and became interested.

Since he came to Zhongzhou, he has not really dealt with the Yuanying Zhenren here.

Even the foreign cultivators on Tiandi Peak, except for the elder in the late Yuanying stage, he has not had much contact with others.

If he has the opportunity to meet one or two now, he doesn't mind.

"Tomorrow Taoyuan will open, and the famous Daoyin will challenge the chess saint Ke Lianshan. At that time, there will be clouds everywhere and heroes will gather. Brother Dao may as well go with me and take the opportunity to take a peek at the details of those opponents."

Taoyuan, the place where the chess saint Ke Lianshan practiced.

Compared to those opponents, Luo Chen is more interested in this rumored chess saint.

The existence that can be described as a saint must be the one who has reached the pinnacle in a certain way, just like the Dan Saint Chu Yan.

Especially, the chess master is a great cultivator in the late Yuanying stage!

To be honest, after coming to Zhongzhou, Luo Chen was still a little uncomfortable.

In the past, Yuanying Zhenren, which were rarely seen in the East Wilderness and the North Sea, seemed to be everywhere in Zhongzhou.

When he went out, he might see Yuanying Zhenren when he looked up and down.

This made him feel proud that he had finally achieved this realm.

Of course, he also knew that this was not normal.

Zhongzhou was originally the place where the essence of the mountain and sea world gathered.

After ancient times, it was also the only peaceful place that was not threatened by monsters.

It was normal to have such a foundation after thousands of years of accumulation.

"I have been here for a long time, so let's go!"

Luo Chen stood up and stretched, saying so.

"Okay, I will make arrangements today and ask for an invitation for Brother Dao!"

Fu Qinglan happily left Luo Chen's cave.

Seeing her cheerful look, Luo Chen couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't know whether she was happy that he cared about her affairs, or was happy to witness such a grand event in the chess world?
