Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

"Is it still not enough?"

Luo Chen showed a rare impatience.

Fu Qinglan apologized, "I'm sorry, my little sister is dull, and two phantom cores can't make me go any further."

Dull talent?

Luo Chen shook his head. How could someone who could form an infant at the age of 300 be dull?

In the final analysis, the amount of spiritual energy contained in the phantom core was too small to allow the cultivator to persist to the point of comprehending the true meaning of the law.

What he was really dissatisfied with was "time!"

Stretching out his hand, Luo Chen said to Fu Qinglan in doubt: "Show me your phantom chess."

Fu Qinglan was puzzled, but did not resist, and handed over his phantom chess.

Luo Chen looked down and saw that the white phantom chess was stained with black light, about 200 to 300.

The power of the mirage dragon would erode the black chess of those who entered the cave heaven. The deeper the erosion, the shorter the time they stayed in the cave heaven.

And now!

"Two phantom cores, only eroded this much in a year. In other words, if I can't comprehend the true meaning of the law, won't I have to stay in this cave for decades or even hundreds of years?"

This is the main reason why Luo Chen really can't accept it!

It's impossible for him to spend nearly a hundred years of his time on someone else's practice trial.

Moreover, this is also very different from what Fu Chaosheng said before, that the Tianyuan competition would take at most one or two years.

What went wrong?

While he was doubtful, he saw the expression of hesitation on the face of the woman opposite.

Luo Chen asked tentatively: "After absorbing two phantom cores in succession, have you gained anything?"

Fu Qinglan hesitated for a moment, and slowly said: "I have gained something, but I'm not sure whether those things are true or false. If you want to listen, I can tell you."

...

It's still the plain surrounded by three mountains.

It's still the same formation and bait as before.

But this time, Luo Chen didn't let Fu Qinglan come with him, but let her recuperate in the cave, and came alone to wait for the rabbit.

Standing on a hilltop, Luo Chen's sight did not linger on the bait of Tianji Pill in the plain. Anyway, Tianji Pill was protected by the formation and his life magic weapon, so there would be no accidents.

He couldn't help looking around now, as if he was looking for something.

But no matter how he looked, he didn't notice any clues that were different from the outside world.

Fu Qinglan's words a few days ago were still impacting his mind until this moment.

"The phantom beasts are the products of the remaining consciousness of the mirage dragon. They instinctively try to revive and reproduce the spirit of the mirage dragon in their bodies. The opening of the mirage dragon cave once every five hundred years is not only an opportunity for us, but also used to clean up high-level phantom beasts to prevent the resurrection of the mirage dragon. When practicing with the help of the phantom core, we must eliminate the influence of the mirage dragon's soulless consciousness and use its inner spiritual machine..."

"From the phantom beast consciousness of the phantom core, I found that there is a big difference between this cave and the outside world. That is the difference in the speed of time flow, and the specific ratio is about..."

One hundred to one!

Yes, it was this number that made Luo Chen restless for several days in a row.

He never thought that he would enter such a secret realm that only existed in legends!

In the countless fairy myths, there are naturally descriptions of various people entering secret realms.

And these secret realms are also different, some have countless opportunities, some are extremely dangerous, and even worse, they have various restrictions.

Luo Chen has not encountered many secret realms in his life, and even fewer have entered them.

But he has also learned a lot about these secret realms.

For example, the secret realm after the death of the God of Transformation is not suitable for most Yuanying True Immortals to enter, because the true meaning of the laws left by the God of Transformation will affect the Dao of later generations, and only those with similar Dao can enter it.

This is a restriction on the Dao.

And the Land of Fallen Demons, at first glance, is full of dangers, but in fact, there are no overly strict entry conditions.

Not to mention Yuanying True Immortals, even Jindan cultivators can enter it.

Even some foundation-building cultivators, if they are brave enough, can definitely go and try.

If there is any restriction, it is probably that the great masters who have comprehended the laws are not allowed to enter it, otherwise they may die like the Blood Sea Ancestor.

And this time, the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven Secret Realm, unexpectedly, is actually a time-limited secret realm of the legendary "one day in the cave, one thousand years in the world".

It's just that the time flow is reversed.

One hundred years in the cave, only one year in the world!

The time flow rate ratio between the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven and the Mountain and Sea Realm is as high as one hundred to one.

Moreover, if the cultivator is in the cave, the life span will flow normally, and it will remain the same even after going out.

It will not happen that after entering at the age of 500, one year in the outside world, and one hundred years inside, the life span will still be 501 years. Instead, when the deadline comes, it will indeed be one hundred years less than the experience of the cultivators of the same realm in the cave heaven!

Luo Chen didn't know why this happened. It might be related to the laws and avenues mastered by wild beasts like the Mirage Dragon.

What Luo Chen finally knew was why the Tianyuan Dao Sect only gave this opportunity to the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators!

The life span of a Nascent Soul cultivator is only a thousand years in total.

Minus the hundreds of years of cultivation before the Nascent Soul, there are only a few hundred years left in total. Who would be willing to waste a hundred years for no reason?

Only the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators, who are particularly talented and have broken through to the Nascent Soul realm at a very young age, have sufficient life span to withstand the consumption of the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

This is the biggest conditional restriction of the five hundred years competition!

As for other factors such as the initial Nascent Soul state and the instinctive closeness to the world that Luo Chen speculated, these are only a small part of the consideration.

"No wonder in the legendary storybooks, when a large sect encounters an unknown secret realm, it often lets the disciples go to explore first. If you accidentally encounter such a secret realm with an uncertain time flow rate, it would be too terrifying for the high-level cultivators who have a short life span to die of old age in an instant after going out."

"But in this case, Fu Chaosheng is too much!"

In Luo Chen's heart, he was angry because Fu Chaosheng did not tell him the secret of the cave in advance.

Or, when Fu Qinglan said the discovery of the different time flow rate, he rarely lost his composure. The sudden outbreak of terrifying momentum made the other party silent for a while. This time, they did not hunt the fantasy beast together, and there was also a reason for lingering fear.

One hundred years!

How many hundred years can there be in life!

Luo Chen has only practiced for about 200 years in his life. If he knew that he would spend 100 years in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, no matter how good the conditions Fu Chaosheng offered, he would not agree to this cooperation.

"I don't know if other protectors know this information, or if they know there is a tiger in the mountain, but they go to the tiger mountain."

"But in my case, it seems that Fu Chaosheng has been giving me various benefits before, and he has actually secretly marked the price, which is this 100 years of life!"

"I was careless and suffered a huge loss!"

Luo Chen took a deep breath and found a stone to sit down.

First, he operated the "Micro Dust Yuanshu" to calm himself down.

Then he began to think carefully.

The first thing is the 100 years of life that may be lost. He is angry, but Luo Chen can still afford this price.

His lifespan is far beyond his peers. When he was promoted to the Nascent Soul, he reached 1,500 years in one breath!

Although it is no longer like the previous realms, the lifespan limit will increase with the advancement of the small realm, and it is stuck at 1,500 years.

But 1,500 years is far beyond the 1,000-year life span of an ordinary Nascent Soul.

He could afford a few hundred years.

Moreover, it was not necessarily that much loss. As long as he captured enough phantom cores and helped Fu Qinglan comprehend the law earlier, he could get out sooner...

Thinking about it, Luo Chen's calm mood turned violent again!

Fu Chaosheng did not tell him first, so why should he do his best for Fu Qinglan's affairs?

This anger was not only because of Fu Chaosheng's concealment, but also because of his own "arrogance".

Since embarking on the path of cultivation.

He was in awe of the sect monks at first, in awe of the forces behind them and their powerful strength.

But as his strength improved, he was no longer afraid of these things.

Instead, he began to disdain these sect monks who were cultivated in the greenhouse.

Especially the inferior character of the younger generation of Tianyuan Dao Sect, which contributed to his contempt.

But now, reality has given him a heavy punch.

The younger generation may not be very scheming, but the older generation of sect monks are all very shrewd. How can I take advantage of them?

"I will think twice before dealing with these old guys in the future and weigh the pros and cons."

After calming down, Luo Chen analyzed what he had paid and what Fu Chaosheng had paid, and found that the other party had indeed calculated to the extreme.

If he worked hard enough to help Fu Qinglan comprehend the law and leave the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven earlier, he would lose a few decades of life at most.

And the large amount of soul essence, withered fire marrow, elixir, guest status of Tiandi Peak for foreign affairs provided by the other party, and the use of manpower and material resources of Tianyuan Merchant Alliance to collect massive resources for him... These benefits are roughly enough to hire a Yuanying Zhenren to run around for decades.

Even if Luo Chen himself did those things and collected those resources, it would take almost that much time, and even have to spend extra energy and encounter extra troubles.

"Forget it, go out and talk to that old thing!"

Luo Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air and continued his previous thinking.

Since it's here, make the best of it!

He couldn't let decades of his best years go by in vain.

This world has scattered spiritual energy, which is not suitable for practicing Qi refining.

And because he had to protect Fu Qinglan, he couldn't release his Nascent Soul like the other party, and try to comprehend the law without any precautions.

Thinking of protecting that stupid and clear woman, Luo Chen felt disgusted again, as if he had eaten a fly but had to swallow it.

He shook his head violently, forcibly suppressing the disgust in his heart.

"It's difficult to improve the realm significantly, but subtle adjustments are no problem. The second level of Nascent Soul is just around the corner."

"For the rest of the time, I have to spend more time on myself."

"The proficiency of the two fourth-level spells, Fire Phoenix and Flame Dragon, can be improved."

The area of ​​Mirage Dragon Cave is extremely vast, and it is extremely convenient to practice here.

Not only spells!

There is also the transformation of the withered and flourishing true fire. After having the Tianji Pill, Luo Chen can take the last step at any time, as long as he wants.

In addition, the refining of the white tiger puppet and the prohibition of the Penglai Octagonal Pavilion...

Finally, Luo Chen put his mind on the "Soul Splitting Technique"!

His main soul has reached the limit of the current realm, and it is completely possible to split another soul.

Han Zhan began to practice the "Soul Splitting Technique" in the foundation-building stage, strengthened his soul in the golden elixir stage, and after forming the Nascent Soul, he had nine souls in just a hundred years.

He Luo Chen has the help of the miraculous elixir such as the Great Soul Pill, so it is not impossible to reach that step!

"Let's take it step by step!"

In desperation, Luo Chen made the next action plan.

Life is like this, you will always suffer some losses inadvertently, but you still have to live.

Not only must you live, but you must live better and better, so that those who have suffered losses from him will look at you with new eyes, regret it, and even pay the price!

...

"Here, this is the third phantom core."

A fourth-level phantom core was thrown in front of him, and Fu Qinglan took it hurriedly.

He wanted to say something, but the other party looked like a stranger was not allowed to enter, and raised a protective formation.

Being blocked outside the formation, Fu Qinglan opened his mouth and smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, after he said the biggest secret of the different speed of time, he should have foreseen this result.

But what can she do?

The Fu family has been in decline for a long time, and it is impossible to cultivate loyal servants of the right realm. The Yuanying Zhenren hired from outside, regardless of whether the conditions are suitable or not, is completely inferior to Luo Chen in terms of strength.

Grandpa had no choice but to conceal the other party and trick him in.

Now, the other party is willing to hunt for phantom cores for her, which is an extremely upright gentleman's act.

I can only say that Grandpa did not make a mistake in choosing him.

The only thing is that the relationship between him and the other party has become unfamiliar again after getting familiar with each other.

"Forget it, I can only understand the true meaning of the law as soon as possible and let him leave this cage as soon as possible."

Fu Qinglan smiled bitterly, holding the phantom core tightly, and entered the simple cave.
