Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Hua La La!

A breeze blew, rolling the branches and leaves of the forest, and from a distance it looked like layers of waves.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the protruding bluestone in the mountains, overlooking the waves of trees under his feet, and then looked at the cave behind him, with some hesitation in his eyes.

"Is it the wind blowing, or is she moving?"

It has been three or four months since Fu Qinglan absorbed the phantom core to practice.

During this period, the other party did not leave the house, and Luo Chen did not leave at all, always guarding outside the cave.

At first it was ordinary, but gradually Luo Chen felt something unusual.

In the cave, Fu Qinglan's practice seemed to be completely defenseless?

The Nascent Soul escaped directly from the Purple Mansion, and swallowed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with the original body of the Nascent Soul.

Such behavior, under normal circumstances, is basically courting death!

Without the protection of the Purple Mansion, exposing the Nascent Soul like this, and entering a deep level of practice, is simply waiting for this world to assimilate her.

But unfortunately, the other party has no scruples!

At that time, Luo Chen remembered some of the things Fu Chaosheng said back then.

The top-level Great Wilderness Mirage Dragon swallows clouds and spits out mist, transforms into the sun, moon and stars, and forms a cave heaven in its body. This world is almost the same as the outside world, but because of the isolation of the Mirage Dragon's own body, a special barrier is formed.

If a cultivator practices in it, he can avoid being assimilated by the world to the greatest extent.

Even if the God merges with the world, it is the same!

Therefore, Luo Chen understood why Fu Qinglan was so unscrupulous at this moment.

But the problem comes again!

Although this world is full of spiritual energy, it is not condensed and concentrated. Just to take advantage of the advantage of not being assimilated by the world, deliberately enter the cave heaven to practice, and it has to be once every five hundred years. Is this necessary?

Some subsequent changes of Fu Qinglan gradually explained to Luo Chen.

The other party was not practicing Qi at all, but through the Nascent Soul as an intermediate carrier, the soul and the world constantly interacted, trying to comprehend something.

Luo Chen knew that that thing was the so-called true meaning of the law.

However, this kind of practice mode is usually only carried out between great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage. Fu Qinglan might have done nothing if she had started this step so early.

But everything became different after she had the special resource of the fourth-order phantom core.

Fu Qinglan persisted in practicing for several months. It seemed that she really came into contact with the true meaning of some laws?

Now.

Luo Chen paid attention to the changes in the outside world while staring at Fu Qinglan's practice.

After several months, he had understood some clues.

"No wonder the opportunity of the five hundred years competition was not given to those old-generation cultivators who were only one step away from the God Transformation Realm, but was reserved for Fu Qinglan and other new Nascent Souls."

"No wonder they were ordered by the elders of the sect not to practice excessively before entering the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, except for consolidating their realm."

"Everything is just to maintain the state of the first Nascent Soul!"

When the cultivators first entered the Nascent Soul, they subconsciously got close to the world and there was not much separation between them.

On the contrary, in the subsequent practice, the purple palace barrier will be continuously strengthened to prevent being assimilated by the heaven and earth.

In this way, the realm will continue to improve, and safety will be guaranteed.

But at the same time, it will gradually become unfamiliar with the heaven and earth, thus losing some of the instincts of the primordial infant.

This may be a bit awkward and difficult to understand.

For example, a human baby!

Before the baby is born, it has been living in amniotic fluid. At this time, humans can swim naturally.

But in the process of growing up after birth, in order to prevent being drowned by water, the instinct of swimming will be constantly suppressed, and the resistance to water will become more and more, and gradually they will become unable to swim.

In order to regain the innate skill of swimming, it is even necessary to learn and train acquired later.

Comparing the primordial infant to a baby, the heaven and earth to water, and the understanding of the true meaning of the law to swimming, it is easy to understand.

This is the intention of the predecessors of the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

In the stage when the Nascent Soul has not yet resisted the world and still retains the instinct to get close to the world, let the new generation of Nascent Soul Tianjiao master the ability to "swim freely" between the world.

Even, in one fell swoop, they can truly master the true meaning of the law that suits them!

In this process, the hint of inspiration inside the fourth-level phantom core has the same effect as the catheter that provides oxygen to the baby in the womb.

"The sage of Tianyuan, you really have good intentions and far-sighted thoughts!"

Luo Chen was very moved.

This is the benefit of having a master's inheritance.

Even the methods of how to practice in the future, how to take shortcuts, and how to master powerful forces in advance have been handed over to the younger generations one by one.

He can only envy, but he can't have any covetous heart.

It's very simple, those methods must have many tricks.

For example, how to use the power of the mirage dragon, how to unlock the phantom core to absorb that trace of heavenly secrets, and related methods of using this trace of heavenly secrets to comprehend the law, etc.

The most important thing is that the phantom cores of the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven are all disciples of the Tianyuan Dao Sect!

These guardians can only watch, not use!

If they really want to rob, they will have to bear the consequences after they leave.

Let alone those great masters of the Transformation of Gods, the Tianyuan Dao Sect alone has hundreds of Yuanying Zhenren, which Luo Chen dare not underestimate.

What he can do now is to eat a few Hongyuan Pills prepared in advance to improve his cultivation while helping to guard.

From this point of view, Luo Chen is not idle.

In the cave, the spiritual energy is scattered, which is not suitable for Yuanying Zhenren to practice, and the effect is also half the result with twice the effort.

But with the help of high-grade Hongyuan Dan, it will not hinder Luo Chen's practice.

Coupled with the vitality that was gifted to him when the Alchemy Saint ascended, he felt that he was very close to breaking through the second level of Nascent Soul.

…

Another two months have passed.

On this day, crisp footsteps came from the cave.

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person.

Fu Qinglan pursed her lips, looking disappointed.

"Failed?"

"Well, I let Brother Tao down."

"It doesn't matter, just find another fourth-order phantom core!"

Luo Chen said lightly, and then stood up, his white robe fluttering lightly.

Fu Qinglan opened her mouth, but in the end she could only nod reluctantly.

"Excuse me, Brother Dao. It's just that the fourth-order phantom beast is hard to find. We're afraid we have to go out and slowly look for the phantom beast."

Unexpectedly!

Luo Chen just smiled lightly, as if he didn't care about the problem.

"Come with me!"

Fu Qinglan was puzzled, so she stood up and followed Luo Chen.

However, when he was controlling the spiritual energy of the outside world, he staggered for a moment.

Luo Chen stopped and looked at her with a frown.

Fu Qinglan quickly explained: "Nascent Soul has been away for a long time. Now that he has returned, there is some difficulty in communicating with the spiritual energy of the outside world. It is not a serious problem."

Luo Chen nodded and agreed with her explanation.

The Nascent Soul can naturally control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with ease, but if he is away for a long time and suddenly returns, he will become unfamiliar after being separated from the existence of the physical body. This is normal.

Thinking of this, he also understood why this centenary competition was completely different from other ordinary centenary competitions and required the intervention of guardians.

At this moment, the rich and young people are the most vulnerable. They are bent on seeking the path, unable to protect themselves and need the protection of others.

But in this case, he was very curious as to why Ju dared to enter the cave alone without a guardian. Although, when the opponent later participated in the competition, he brought Qi Xiongcheng with him. But the initial decision shows that Shi Ju is indeed that confident and can protect himself.

What does he rely on?

…

It is eighty miles away from Fu Qinglan's practice cave.

There is a vast plain, very wide, ten miles long and wide, about the size of a small town.

But this plain, from the perspective of perspective, is not very wide.

Just because there are three mountains surrounding it, encircling it, leaving only one exit.

The footsteps of Luo and Fu stopped here.

Fu Qinglan looked around in confusion, "Is there a fourth-order phantom beast here? It's hidden so deeply that I didn't even notice it when I got there?"

Luo Chen looked calm, lowered his back, and placed his hands on the grassy ground.

"Not now, but soon, there will be."

A jade box covered with soft satin was placed on the ground.

Fu Qinglan's eyes narrowed and his expression changed slightly.

In the jade box, there is a white pill, exuding a rich light.

If she read it correctly, it should be one of the five elixirs that the Alchemy Saint personally refined before his ascension.

Why would Luo Chen take this thing out now?

Shouldn't such a precious thing be well preserved?

When she was puzzled, she happened to see Luo Chen straightening up and looking back at her with intriguing eyes.

Fu Qinglan was startled, then shook her head.

"Brother Luo Chen, don't worry, this is your thing, and my little sister has no intention of coveting it."

Luo Chen twitched the corners of his mouth but said nothing.

Instead, they jumped together and jumped into the sky.

With his fingers flying, a series of restrictions came out of his hands and sank into the three surrounding mountains.

Not only that, there were also small triangular flags that were shot into the ground like sharp arrows.

Fu Qinglan blinked. Is Luo Chen still proficient in formation formation?

And looking at the calmness of his actions, it shows that the other party already has a sufficient understanding of the direction of the mountains and rivers here.

However, can the gathering and dispersion of invisible fourth-order phantom beasts be restricted only by relying on these mana restrictions and the formations laid out by the formation flags?

The next moment, Fu Qinglan's pupils shrank.

In the void, there was a small gray cauldron flying out.

The mouth of the tripod was turned upside down, like a lid, covering the void.

The white-robed Taoist pointed at the small gray cauldron, and the cauldron immediately disappeared into the void and disappeared from sight.

"Next, we just wait and see."

In the sky, Luo Chen said this.

Fu Qinglan's eyes kept flowing between him and the open jade box of light on the ground, with a dubious expression on his face.

…

one day.

Two days.

As time gradually passed, the suspicion on Fu Qinglan's face became more and more intense.

Finally, she couldn't help but find Luo Chen who was meditating on a mountain top.

"Brother Dao, is this really feasible?"

Luo Chen opened his eyes and stared at her calmly.

He didn't say anything, he just stared like this, making the other person feel scared.

After a moment, Luo Chen suddenly sighed.

"If you have nothing to do, would you like to tell me about the practice in the Tianyuan Dao Sect? Luo has been quite curious about the practice of this sect since he was a child."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a table and a futon appeared in front of him.

On the table, there is wine, dried meat, and some fragrant beans.

Fu Qinglan hesitated for a moment, then sat on it.

Luo Chen filled her glass with wine, and she told some anecdotes about the sect's practice, just to satisfy Luo Chen's curiosity and kill the boring time at the same time.

"When I was twelve years old, I passed the Dao Sect test and entered the Lan Ke Mountains to practice. It has been more than two hundred years, almost three hundred years!"

"Practicing in the sect is actually very boring."

"Every day there are morning and evening classes, reciting classics, opening meridians and drawing in qi..."

"There are seventy-two famous peaks in the Lan Ke Mountains, and basically all of them are occupied by Yuanying Zhenren for practice. And most of these Yuanying Zhenren are from aristocratic families. We don't focus on master-disciple inheritance. In addition to listening to the lectures of Dao Sect elders, ordinary practice is carried out by ourselves."

"If there is really something interesting, it is probably the ten-year small competition within each family, and then the once-a-hundred-year competition for the whole sect. At that time, the outstanding descendants of each family and each realm will gather together to compete. Haha, this kind of thing is a top priority in our eyes, but in the eyes of Dao Brother, I think it's just a child's play!"

"This bean is really delicious... bitter hazelnuts? ? It was handled so well, no less than some of the exquisite food in our sect. "

"It's not that everything went smoothly all the way. The sect will issue some tasks regularly. There are no monsters in Zhongzhou, but there are still monsters in some places near Zhongzhou. The sect will issue such tasks regularly for us to do. In addition, there are other large and small tasks, and the farther ones even have to go to other continents..."

"Because the Tianyuan Dao Sect is mainly composed of immortal cultivation families, the infighting within the sect is not so serious, but the fighting between families has never stopped. The reason why my grandfather went to Beihai to serve as the elder of the Merchant Alliance was to use the identity of the elder of the Merchant Alliance to avoid family competition, so as to buy time for me to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage."

"From this point of view, grandpa really protected me too well. If my little sister usually has some childish behavior, please forgive me. "

...

While drinking, Luo Chen listened to Fu Qinglan talking about the sect's cultivation.

The other party was quite enthusiastic, but Luo Chen was a little bored when he heard half of it.

Quiet and indifferent, with few storms.

Occasionally there was competition, but it was mostly within the scope of the rules.

Even Fu Qinglan felt bored after practicing for a long time, and gradually looked for something to pass the time, such as Go.

But later, Luo Chen's attention was focused again.

He couldn't help but wonder, in this situation without large-scale death battles, how many cultivators of various realms have been accumulated by Tianyuan Dao Sect after thousands of years of recuperation?

Although Zhongzhou is large, can it really accommodate so many cultivators to divide these resources?

Combined with the events of Penglai Xianzong in the North Sea and Ghost Valley in the East Desert, Luo Chen had to think of the worst. The tiger in Zhongzhou might have been unable to resist escaping from the cage and getting involved in other continents in the Mountain and Sea Realm!

Suddenly.

Luo Chen waved his hand, and the wine and snacks placed between the two disappeared.

"Here it comes!"

He stood up gracefully, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth began to gather towards him.

Fu Qinglan followed his gaze and looked into the distance.

Between the mountains and ridges, there was a white light, rushing like lightning.

Without any confusion, he ran straight to the ten-mile plain!

She looked at Luo Chen with amazement.

The formation set up by the other party magnified the medicinal power of the Tianji Pill and spread it to the area of ​​a thousand miles, but it was controlled at an extremely appropriate level, which could only be detected by high-level fantasy beasts.

Now it seems that he really waited for the rabbit.

And Luo Chen's chuckle further verified her thoughts.

"It's really a rabbit!"

The white light was extremely fast, and it jumped and jumped while running, easily crossing several miles of land.

Looking carefully, between the gathering and dispersing of clouds, its ears were pointed and its eyebrows were smart, just like an ordinary rabbit.

This rabbit came very quickly, and regardless of everything, it broke into the plain surrounded by three mountains and went straight to the jade box quietly placed on the ground.

At this moment, the jade box suddenly disappeared.

The rabbit was stunned and looked up at the sky.

A huge fire phoenix spread its wings and swooped towards it with a scream.

The rabbit was anxious.

A large amount of clouds gathered, and the size began to expand wildly.

Five feet, ten feet, fifty feet, a hundred feet...

A huge rabbit that was more than a hundred feet long pounced on the fire phoenix angrily.

In Fu Qinglan's eyes, it seemed that he had already seen its end.

"It's just seeking death!"

Boom!

The giant rabbit and the fire phoenix collided with each other.

The huge spiritual energy fluctuations rushed in all directions like a wave.

The fire phoenix gradually dissipated.

The giant rabbit was beaten into a cloud of mist.

A condensed white light was looming in it.

Luo Chen was high in the void, watching this scene, and nodded secretly.

As he thought, the strength of the fourth-level fantasy beast was at most the same as that of an early Yuanying cultivator who had not mastered any powerful means. The only difficult point was probably the characteristics of gathering and dispersing invisibly and being difficult to die.

And the fire phoenix he used was enough to match the full-strength attack of an ordinary early Yuanying cultivator.

With advance preparation, it was not difficult to break up its body.

The real difficulty should be behind.

Fu Qinglan said anxiously: "It wants to run!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, "It can't run."

Luo Chen clenched the air!

The next moment, a giant tripod came down from the void with a rumble, completely covering the sky.

Not only that, the three surrounding mountains also emitted patches of light, completely surrounding the ten-mile plain.

Inside, a white light rushed left and right, and the clouds and mist dispersed and gathered, gathered and dispersed.

After a stalemate for an incense stick of time, it was finally powerless.

"Collect!"

The mouth of the cauldron opened wide, dragging the phantom core into it, and then the Hunyuan cauldron shrank rapidly and finally fell into Luo Chen's hands.

Fu Qinglan looked at this scene and couldn't help but admire: "Brother, this magic weapon has a strong ability to suppress and seal. Even among the real weapons, I think it is among the best!"

"You are too kind. Compared with your sect's Lan Ke chessboard, it is just the light of a firefly."

Luo Chen said so, and grabbed the white rabbit phantom core.

If Lin Jingtang was here, he would be shocked to see Luo Chen hunt a fourth-level phantom beast so easily.

He took great efforts to defeat the dead tree phantom beast, and let the opponent's phantom core run away.

Luo Chen did it effortlessly.

"Take it!"

Luo Chen threw the phantom core into Fu Qinglan's hands.

"With this one, I think it will be easier for you to comprehend the true meaning of the law."

Fu Qinglan held the phantom core tightly in her small hand and nodded heavily.

"I will never disappoint you, brother!"

The two of them went back home, as if nothing had happened.

Half a year later.

In the cave on the mountainside, Fu Qinglan came out again, as if nothing had happened.

She looked dejected.

Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but frowned deeply, like a Sichuan character.

"Is it still not enough?"
