Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The small one is called a clam, and the big one is called a mirage.

Swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, it stirs up wind and rain.

When it gathers, it is as high as a mountain, and when it disperses, it turns into an ocean current.

Between the invisible gathering and dispersion, it can hold the mustard seed of Mount Sumeru in its body, and form a world of its own.

This beast is called the mirage dragon!

It is rumored that in the ancient times, there were many wild beasts on the Zhongzhou continent, and the great wild mirage dragon was the most famous among them.

It has no form and no appearance, and it gathers and disperses unpredictably.

Sometimes it turns into walking beasts and flying birds to show up in the world, and sometimes it covers the Zhongzhou continent like clouds and fog.

Because of its existence, the Tianyuan Dao Sect suffered a lot when opening up Zhongzhou, and paid countless blood and lives.

And now, it has opened its mouth again after thousands of years of death.

Looking at the bank of the passing river, the deep and big mouth opened up, and the people who were originally immersed in the feat of the Dan Sheng's ascension were instantly diverted.

Noisy sounds suddenly sounded.

"So the entrance to the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven is right below our Tiandi Peak!"

"That's right, such a top-level wilderness, how can it be wiped out so easily. According to the characteristics of the Mirage Dragon, it is easy to die and revive if you are not careful. Only with a rare blessed land like Tiandi Peak in the world can it be suppressed for generations and never rise again!"

"In other words, the disciples of Tianyuan Dao Sect will go in to participate in the once-every-five-hundred-years competition?"

"That's right."

"In fact, I am very curious why it is necessary to make the qualifications of Yuanying cultivators to enter the cave heaven , limited to a hundred years of infant formation. If there are really good things in it, wouldn't it be better to let the older generation of Yuanying Zhenren who have practiced for a longer time and are more powerful to get it? "

"Who knows. Anyway, the Tianyuan Dao Sect said that it would give opportunities to the younger generation and give the sect more hope for the future. "

"It's a pity that all of us Xingmen Zhenren are old and weak, and we don't have the opportunity to see the true appearance of the cave. "

"Who said there is no chance? Wouldn't that person become the protector of the rich family?"

In his ears, the discussion of the nearby Xingmen guests kept coming.

Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.

In particular, he could feel that the eyes of those people looking at him always fell on the light ball in his hand.

Tianji Pill?

Luo Chen snorted and quietly put it in his pocket.

He raised his head and looked at the opposite family from a distance.

Fu Chaosheng nodded to him as if he had a telepathic connection.

But before nodding, Luo Chen clearly saw that the other party also had a flash of disappointment in his eyes.

"Is he also thinking about the Tianji Pill in my hand?"

Luo Chen remained calm and then stepped out of the crowd.

There were more than one person who did the same thing as him.

One figure after another emerged one by one under the expectation of the crowd.

The leaders, a total of thirteen people, were the most outstanding generation of Tianyuan Dao Sect in the past hundred years!

Behind the thirteen people, each stood a Yuanying Zhenren with different temperament and style. These were their protectors.

Luo Chen looked at them one by one.

Among the three sons of the rich family, behind Gu Yuan stood a man in golden clothes. His name was Gu Chen. He was a loyal servant specially trained for him by the Gu family and was given the surname Gu.

Gu Daosu, the younger brother of Mingren Daoyin, stood there silently. Next to him was a young woman. If I remember correctly, the young woman also had the surname Gu and was a member of Gu Daosu's clan. She got married in her early years, and returned to the Gu family after her husband passed away, but she didn't expect to become Gu Daosu's protector.

Shi Ju...

Luo Chen frowned, he remembered that this person didn't plan to bring a protector.

But at this moment, Qi Xiongcheng, who had met him once, was standing behind Shi Ju with a hunched back.

When he looked over, the other party was looking at him calmly.

Luo Chen pursed his lips and continued to look around.

Xiang Qi, the genius of the Xiang family, the head of the thirty-six families, the protector is the angry Vajra, from the Western Desert Buddhist Sect.

Yu Xu, the protector is a Yuanying Zhenren who is also shrouded in a black robe. His name is Tianshan Zhenren. It is said that he is the last leader of a declining sect in southern Xinjiang.

Lin Bufan, the protector is named Lin Jingtang.

...

Longyuan Zhenren Liu Yuan, the protector Mingyan.

When Mingyan walked out from behind the Tianyuan Sect Master and stood behind Liu Yuan, the people were complete.

Luo Chen retracted his gaze and compared these people one by one with the description in the intelligence, and gradually got a clear idea in his mind.

As for the other more than 300 foundation-building disciples, he didn't care much.

The two sides were not on the same track at all.

Everyone stood together quietly, as if waiting for something.

They didn't wait for long.

Tianyuan Sect Master Mo Shouzhuo slowly loosened his fingers that had been pressing on the chessboard.

He turned his wrist, and suddenly white stars appeared in the air. Looking closely, they were chess pieces condensed by pure magic power.

With a flick of his finger, all the chess pieces fell in front of everyone.

"This is a phantom chess piece formed by the combination of my magic power and the power of the mirage dragon, one for each person."

"It allows you to move normally in the mirage dragon cave."

"Even if you die in it, you can use this phantom chess piece to revive in the outside world."

"But remember, you only have one chance. Once resurrected, you will no longer be qualified to enter the cave. Moreover, although the phantom chess piece can protect you from death, after resurrection, you will fall into a very long state of weakness, and even damage your practice."

"If you really encounter something that you cannot defeat, it is recommended to actively activate the phantom chess piece and leave the cave to avoid falling into an irreversible situation."

The vicissitudes of the voice of the Tianyuan Sect Master sprinkled in everyone's ears like spring breeze and drizzle.

Luo Chen took the white chess piece.

The tentacles felt extremely soft and had no real feeling.

But he knows that this is what Fu Chaosheng said back then, which guarantees that this trip will not be life-threatening!

Something that combines the power of the God Transformation Power with the power of the Mirage Dragon?

I'm afraid it's more than that!

Luo Chen was on top, vaguely sensing more complex things.

For example, although there were only a few hints of inspiration that gathered from all directions before.

"The mirage has awakened. Go in and look for your own opportunity!"

After Tian Yuan Sect Master closed the chessboard and handed it into the hands of Chess Saint Ke Lianshan, he said the last words.

Luo Chen and the others did not hesitate any longer, transformed into the light, rushed down the mountain, and broke into the deep mouth with no hesitation.

After they left, everyone in Yunhai Square had different thoughts.

Some people look forward to it, while others are indifferent.

Some people were walking around, while others were still sitting there.

The opening of the Mirage Dragon Cave will take several months to more than a year. It is difficult to predict accurately. It depends on the specific stay time of the last monk inside.

Not everyone is willing to wait that long to see the results.

Especially the Star Sect disciples and the cultivators from other continents.

The young man from the Mingyuan faction was the first to say goodbye.

Tianyuan Sect Master did not try to persuade him to stay and let him go on his own.

The same was true for the mysterious black-robed monk in southern Xinjiang. But before leaving, he took a few more curious glances at the deep mouth that swallowed the clouds.

Several bald monks from the Western Desert, ignoring the strange looks from others, approached the Tianyuan Sect Master with bitter expressions on their faces.

"The Western Desert Monsters have joined forces and are ready to make a move, but the holy land of Xuankong Temple has closed its gates tightly and ignores worldly affairs. We lack the power to form gods, so we ask your sect to lend a helping hand!"

Mo Shouzhuo's calm and old face showed a smile because of these words.

"There's no rush. Let's wait until our sect's Centenary Competition is over before we discuss sending troops."

Tianyuan Daozong is the leader in the world!

Among the five holy places, it has always been the most powerful.

After more than three thousand years of recuperation and control of the best resources of a continent, its current strength is even more immeasurable.

This can be seen from the fact that no one in the world of mountains and seas has ascended for hundreds of years, but a mere outsider, Alchemy Sage, can practice to ascend.

Nowadays, all the outer continents are in turmoil and are in turmoil.

It was time for Tianyuan Daozong to take action.

Mo Shouzhuo nodded to the chess master behind him, who nodded slightly and injected mana into the chessboard.

An inexplicable space suddenly emerged.

The next moment, figures emerged one after another.

He comes from a humble family and is the patriarch of a wealthy family.

Among the nineteen elders of the Star Gate, the alternate elder Hui Yuanhong was also among them.

Not only that, but one of the top officials of Tianyuan Dao Sect appeared immediately.

Everyone looked up.

At the highest point of the space, five mysterious and noble figures were looming, with Mo Shouzhuo in the middle.

He spoke loudly and confidently, completely losing his old and vicissitudes of life.

"A thousand-year plan has come to an end. Are you ready?"

…

Feeling confused and confused.

Luo Chen woke up from the throbbing pain in his brain.

As far as the eye can see, there are birds chirping and flowers fragrant, mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there is nothing like the harsh mountains and rivers as imagined, the strong wind blowing to the bones, and the five turbidities everywhere.

"Is this the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven?"

"Brother Dao, you wake up!"

Luo Chen subconsciously looked to the side. Fu Qinglan was standing aside, looking at him with concern.

Seeing the other party's expression, Luo Chen couldn't help but frown.

It's not because of the other person's concern, but because of the other person's state.

The moment he entered the Mirage Dragon Cave, he fell into a brief coma, and his soul was even shocked. The other party's cultivation level was not as good as his own, so how could it look like nothing happened?

Perhaps seeing his doubts, Fu Qinglan quickly explained: "Every monk who enters the Mirage Dragon Cave will be washed away by the remaining consciousness of the Mirage. If it is not resisted by the fantasy chess, he will sink into the boundless illusion. I am different. , I have experienced the baptism of mirage dragon energy in advance in the sect, so I am well prepared.”

Luo Chen stood up from the bluestone and said displeasedly:

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

He had indeed encountered many hallucinations before, which made him confused.

If I hadn't experienced a lot of this kind of thing during my previous practice, I would probably have been in a coma for a longer time.

Fu Qinglan smiled slightly, "It's not easy to say this kind of thing early. Once you are wary, you will subconsciously fight against those illusions, but you will sink in them for a longer time. On the contrary, with the help of the illusion chess made by the sect master, you will wake up again." Faster."

Luo Chen subconsciously raised his hand, and the soft white chess piece came into view.

really!

What the other party said was true. Although he was a little unable to control himself in the illusion before, the chess piece had been emitting a soft light and protected him all the way.

That scene was even somewhat similar to his experience in Li Wangtian in the Land of the Fallen Demon.

However, the bad black chess piece he refined at that time shattered silently, and was not as effective as the white chess piece this time.

"Huh?"

Luo Chen let out a sigh and found a black spot on the chess piece.

Fu Qinglan couldn't help but be startled when he saw this.

"Inside the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, there are countless fantasy beasts, all of which are extraordinary and powerful. If we are infected too deeply, the fantasy chess that protects us will slowly turn black. When it turns completely from white to black, it means that the time we can stay in the cave heaven has reached its limit. At that time, we must activate this chess and transmit it to the outside world. Otherwise, it is easy to be assimilated into a fantasy beast and be trapped in the cave heaven for life."

"Brother Dao, you have been eroded!"

Luo Chen silently looked at the white chess in his hand, and the black spot only accounted for about one hundredth or two hundredths.

It's not a problem.

He is now "free", and his mind is filled with many doubts about the outside world before.

Why did the Alchemy Saint Chu Yan give him one of the five pills before leaving?

Is it just because they are both alchemists?

Not necessarily, in the huge Tianyuan Dao Sect, there are definitely many powerful alchemists!

Also, the Tianji Pill, the method of refining it, the alchemy technique used, even if it was just a casual act by the Alchemy Saint, made him feel quite familiar.

"It's the fifth-level Yanfa Pill!"

Luo Chen remembered it completely.

When he was in the Alchemy Realm of the Meteorite Land, he refined the fifth-level Yanfa Pill, and his method was very similar to that used by the Alchemy Saint.

Combined with the name of the pill, Tianji... Yanfa...

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

But this thoughtfulness did not last too long, because there were more doubts.

He saw very clearly that the Alchemy Saint was not ascending normally!

The place where the star gate above the nine heavens led to was definitely not the legendary fairyland!

Where did she go?

Why did she give up the huge spiritual energy of this world and let the Tianyuan Sect Master intercept it?

Where did those intercepted spiritual energy go?

One by one, doubts filled Luo Chen's mind, like countless mists, making him confused.

Seeing that Luo Chen had been silent, Fu Qinglan thought he was worried about being eroded by the mirage dragon's energy.

"Brother, don't worry. I will absorb all the phantom cores you get from hunting phantom beasts. You just need to pay attention and you won't be eroded any more."

"In short, our Tianyuan disciples will generally reach their limit before your protectors."

"Then we will go out together."

Luo Chen glanced at her and nodded.

Hunting phantom beasts is the content of the competition.

Unique and monotonous.

Below the Nascent Soul, among the low-level disciples, the more phantom cores they get from hunting phantom beasts, the higher their ranking will be, and the more sect rewards they will get after going out.

But in the Nascent Soul True Transmission, the number of phantom cores is not used to determine the winner.

It can even be said that there is no such thing as a ranking of winners and losers.

The real winner depends on who can go one step further in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven!

Fu Qinglan and other Nascent Soul True Transmissions will refine and absorb the phantom cores hunted by their protectors, and use the power of the Mirage Dragon to comprehend the true meaning of the law.

Once there is something to gain, it will become the so-called God Transformation Seed.

This is where the real winner lies!

What Luo Chen and other guardians have to do is, first, help hunt the fantasy beasts, and second, protect them while they are refining and absorbing the Nascent Soul True Transmission, so as to prevent the fantasy beasts and other competitors from disturbing them.

That's all!

"Let's go, I also want to see what the fantasy beast is." Luo Chen said calmly.
