Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The opening of the Dan Sheng Temple Trial did not seem to cause any commotion in Mingyuan Sect.

After all, there were few people watching the ceremony on Dan Sheng Mountain.

But this was just a surface phenomenon.

Because Chu Yan was not a person who was suitable to be mentioned publicly in Mingyuan Sect, how could everyone show their enthusiasm for the inheritance she left behind?

But in fact, there were countless people who were secretly paying attention to the movements here.

No matter who got the Dan Sheng inheritance, he would inherit the position of the Dan Sheng Temple Master in the future and lead all the Dan Dao affairs of Mingyuan Sect.

Even hundreds of years later, he would become a transcendent Dan Dao master like Chu Yan!

Who would dare to really ignore such a potential big man?

Lu Chun was eliminated a little quickly, but the overall result was not unexpected by everyone.

After all, he was not a direct descendant of the Alchemy Saint, and the alchemy classics he obtained were only two or three tenths from the Chu family. In addition, he was impetuous, so the so-called junior master was mostly forced to flatter him.

Whose master can only refine two or three fourth-level elixirs!

As for Xin Yisheng, it is well known that he has a shallow foundation. Being able to persist longer than Lu Chun is already an outstanding performance of alchemy talent.

The remaining three people are the ones with the highest hopes.

However, all this changed when Mr. Xuan Yan appeared and broke into the Alchemy Saint Temple without any obstruction.

"Didn't he say that he would never get involved in the inheritance of the Alchemy Saint again?"

"At such an old age, he can die at any time. It's okay if he doesn't get the inheritance. Getting the inheritance will only harm our Mingyuan Sect."

"We can't let him die with Chu Yan's inheritance!"

"The old ancestor is confused!"

"It's hard to say about this matter. Doesn't Mr. Xuan Yan have another direct disciple who went to Baiwan Mountain to collect herbs? It is rumored that although that person is not very conspicuous, he has indeed reached the level of a minor master. If he passes on the inheritance to his disciples, we will not be empty-handed."

"Uh... Then what is your relationship with the cultivators on Xuanyan Peak?"

"Relationship, we can make up for it later!"

The discussion of these people in secret, to a certain extent, actually represents the common thinking of the three old ancestors of Mingyuan Sect.

The inheritance of the Alchemy Saint is there, whoever takes it will take it, anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot.

The premise is to take it out!

If the young generation with a promising future takes it, it will naturally be good.

Even if Mr. Xuan Yan, who is about to die, gets it, as long as it can be passed down, it will not be a big deal.

…

The four people in the Alchemy Temple knew nothing about the outside world's discussions.

They were all immersed in the difficult trial of the second level.

"Boom!"

A dull sound suddenly exploded in the empty room.

Chu Yu opened the furnace cover with a heavy heart.

As expected, there was a dirty black mass inside, and there was no clear spirit at all.

She raised her hand and stared at her white jade-like hands in a daze.

"Is it still not working?"

The ancestors left a lot of things to the Chu family, including alchemy classics, alchemy recipes, alchemy tools, and even three of the sourceless fire that alchemists need most!

Most of those things were taken away by the sect, leaving only some alchemy experience for the Chu family to extract.

Chu Yu relied on these alchemy experience to figure it out bit by bit, and thus achieved the realm of a master at the age of less than 400.

But the biggest reward is not these!

After failing the last trial in the Alchemy Temple, she went back and read the alchemy experience left by her ancestors over and over again, and found a hidden alchemy technique from it.

It looks ordinary, but it is actually a compound alchemy technique composed of dozens of basic alchemy techniques!

After getting it for the first time, Chu Yan spent some time practicing it. After getting started, she suddenly found that this alchemy technique was not used to make pills at all, but to decompose materials.

She didn't understand what the meaning of this alchemy technique was.

However, after passing the first level this time, she understood the meaning of this alchemy technique.

There are countless natural treasures in the world, and for alchemists, they can all be used as medicine.

The saying "Refine the sky, refine the earth, and refine people" is by no means false!

However, there is only one sky, one earth, and one person.

Many of the natural treasures that truly contain magnificent and magical powers are unique in the world.

Once the alchemy fails, the alchemist often needs to wait for hundreds or thousands of years, or even his entire life, for the second qualified treasure to be born again.

It is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice, and he can only sigh in vain, missing the only chance.

In this case, the alchemy technique left by the ancestor Chu Yan is extremely important.

From the waste pills that failed to be refined, the required main materials can be decomposed through the reverse refining technique, so that there will be a second or even third chance.

Not only that, for some lost pill recipes, the raw materials can also be decomposed through the reverse refining of existing pills to determine its original material composition, so as to deduce the original pill recipe.

This is the meaning of the alchemy technique called "Return to the Old Face".

It's a pity that Chu Yu didn't fully understand its importance until this time.

"If I master this technique and come to participate in the trial again, this second time will be easy for me!"

"I only regret that Luo Chen came and started the trial in advance..."

This resentment was fleeting.

Because Chu Yu couldn't deceive herself, she hadn't taken that kind of alchemy seriously before.

Her alchemy realm is still in the stage of continuous upward climbing, so how could she be full of enthusiasm for the alchemy technique of returning to the essence.

Moreover, even if she really puts her energy into learning that alchemy technique, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass the first level.

"I don't know what the situation is with Luo Chen?"

"The Alchemy Temple is open for you in advance. If you stop at the second level, it will be funny."

Although I don't hate it, I always have resentment.

Chu Yu shook her head and waved to throw away the pile of medicine residue in the alchemy furnace.

She has failed and can't move forward.

The only way is to return.

In the temple, a gentle magic power surged, wrapped her and dragged her out.

She didn't resist, so there was no possibility of any injury.

But on the way to cross the first level of the trial, she was surprised to find that there was a lot of rich white light flying in the same direction.

The two crossed each other, and an old man with a ruddy face nodded to her in a friendly manner.

It's Mr. Xuan Yan!

Chu Yan was extremely surprised, but subconsciously congratulated him: "I wish you a prosperous alchemy!"

"Haha, the future is yours, I wish you a prosperous alchemy!"

Mr. Xuan Yan smiled and stepped into the second level.

At this time, only a few days had passed since he entered the hall.

...

"Being one step ahead is only a moment, and the one who reaches the end first is a hero."

"Luo Chen, you are too weak after all!"

In a hall full of scorching air, Chen Mozi's tired look was full of joy.

He came to the third level!

The first level took him a year.

The second level trapped him for two whole years!

But for him, this time was already unusually fast.

If it weren't for the failure of the last trial, which made him prepare in advance, I'm afraid it would be difficult to cross the second level by the end of the trial.

Scanning the hall, Chen Mozi was not surprised.

Because the layout of this hall is a common scene for alchemists.

Ground fire mouth, blower, humanoid puppet...

This is a single alchemy room that is essential for high-level alchemists of Mingyuan Sect.

It's just that the space is larger and can accommodate multiple alchemists to make pills together.

"What is the question of the third level?"

Chen Mozi was extremely curious, just because he had never been to this third level.

In the entire Mingyuan Sect, only Mr. Xuan Yan had been here.

Just when he was curious, the ground fire in the hall rose, and formed a pill formula that only he could see in the void.

"Refine a new pill?"

"Fourth level?"

"It's a bit troublesome, but it's okay, it's not difficult for me."

Chen Mozi was relieved, as if he had seen the scene of passing this level.

But just when he was about to start, he was suddenly stunned.

"The conditions are so harsh?"

...

Second level, in an empty room.

The Taoist in white robe sat cross-legged in it, with drug residues scattered around him.

The hair that was combed very well with the help of Hui Niang before was now scattered and messy.

A pair of golden pupils were shining, but the whites of the eyes were covered with bloodshot.

Those bloodshot were not formed by stimulating the source of power, but the manifestation of exhausting all efforts and excessive mental exhaustion.

At this moment, the Taoist in white robe stared blankly at the medicine residue in front of him, muttering something.

No mistakes, one sentence, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, take a look!

"Almost, almost, still almost."

"Where is the difference?"

Suddenly!

His nose moved slightly and sniffed the void.

In a mixed smell, he smelled a familiar smell.

Luo Chen was stunned and waved his hand.

Suddenly, a group of failed medicine residues fell in front of him.

Looking down, Luo Chen instantly understood.

This is a third-level elixir called Baizhi paste, which is specially used to remove cold air. It has an excellent therapeutic effect on those who are suffering from the extreme cold air.

The main ingredients of Baizhi paste are special water-attributed herbs such as Baizhi, Qilian, and Luanliu Ping.

He remembered that he failed in the reverse training.

But why can he still smell a hint of Qilian?

"Qilian itself has the characteristic of being untainted by mud, but it has already failed, how can there be a Qilian fragrance?"

Luo Chen fiddled with the dregs of the medicine with some doubts, and used his unformed alchemy to remove all the other impurities, and finally got a ball of burnt black liquid.

Looking at the liquid, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

After a while, Luo Chen suddenly woke up as if he had been enlightened.

On his face, there was already a look of ecstasy.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Before, I only cared about the form, not the meaning, and was too deliberate in pursuing the original appearance of the medicinal materials."

"But in fact, when we make pills, we often do it for a single special substance in some medicinal materials. That is the essence of selecting medicinal materials. No matter what it becomes, it still exists."

"Just like our practice, we absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and achieve great magic power. But once we fall, the Yuanying will be scattered, and the huge magic power will still return to its essence and become the free spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth."

"When dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, the ultimate prosperity is just a handful of fine sand."

"What I want is not the pearls that make up the crown, but just the purest fine sand!"

"So, this technique should not be like this, it should be..."

In ecstasy, Luo Chen's seal suddenly changed, and he gently wiped the charred liquid.

This touch was like a groom opening the lid to see his wife, or like the wind blowing away the clouds to reveal the bright moon. Luo Chen finally saw the essence of the smell.

A bit of white, looming.

There was a faint fragrance of Qi Lian floating in the air!

The mana was injected into it, and even a lotus slowly floated.

At this moment, a wisp of entry slowly emerged on the attribute panel that had been motionless for a long time.

[Introduction to Unknown Alchemy 1/100]

Luo Chen seemed to have lost all his strength, and sat on the ground, looking at the white lotus and grinning.

"Let's call it the Return to Dust Technique!"

Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, and by performing this technique, you can see the essence buried under the glory.

From now on, most of the elixirs in the world will no longer be mysterious in front of him, even if they have never been seen before!

Then what's next...

Luo Chen's eyes swept over the remaining twenty or so elixirs, his eyes full of expectations.

The lowest grade of these elixirs is the third grade, and most of them are even the fourth grade elixirs.

If he remembered correctly, many medicinal materials were used in the refining of these pills, enough to cover the pills that failed before.

This Dan Sheng Temple trial can still continue!

...

Half a year later, in the brightly lit hall, clouds and smoke suddenly came.

Sitting on the ground with a sad face, Chen Mozi looked up and saw the figure of a man in a white robe.

His black hair was casually scattered behind his back. Although his face was tired, his eyes were bright.

At this moment, the other party was looking at the hall curiously.

In his eyes with a faint golden light, it seemed that there were no secrets in the world.

It was Luo Chen!

Chen Mozi opened his mouth, full of bitterness.

I didn't expect that the other party actually passed the second level!

I had underestimated the other party before, thinking that in terms of Luo Chen's background, passing the first level was already a genius performance.

But now it seems that he can pass two levels calmly in the first Dan Sheng Temple trial. He is more than a genius!

"It's worthy of the name of Danzong!" he whispered.

Luo Chen heard the voice, cast his eyes over, and nodded slightly.

"Daoyou, you are ahead of me."

Chen Mozi shook his head, unwilling to explain how much preparation he had made for the second level.

Luo Chen asked curiously: "What is the third level?"

Chen Mozi didn't hide it this time, and answered casually: "Alchemy!"

Luo Chen was stunned, and then laughed.

Alchemy!

For him, it couldn't be simpler.

As long as there are materials...

There is a rising fire, forming a font.

Luo Chen looked up and raised his eyebrows, but the more he looked, the more solemn his face became.

When the fire curtain dissipated, Luo Chen looked at Chen Mozi again.

No wonder the other party arrived at this alchemy hall in advance, but he didn't move, hesitating and not daring to start.

I didn't expect the third level trial to be so harsh!

"Take the raw materials that were previously reversed and refine a fourth-level pill."

"It doesn't matter what pill it is, but there is only one chance!"

Everyone knows that the success rate of pills is difficult to control.

Those who can refine a successful pill are considered to be in the mainstream.

Those who can control the success rate of pills to about 20% to 30% are not exaggerating to be called alchemy masters.

Masters like Chen Mozi and Chu Yu can only stabilize the success rate of pills at about 50%, and this is for pills of relatively low grade that they are relatively good at.

How difficult is it to succeed in one go?

Even Luo Chen!

He claims to be good at refining hundreds of pills, but he never dares to say that he can refine a fourth-level pill in one go.

When refining pills for others, they often require enough raw materials.

And this time, he even made up the pill formula himself!

"With such a trial, even if I force my way in with the attribute panel, there is still a nine-tenths failure rate!"

Luo Chen was in a dilemma.

The first is to formulate the recipe, and the second is to succeed at once. Who in the world can solve these two problems?

In his life, he has only succeeded at once when faced with unfamiliar recipes.

This third level of the test seems to be an open-book test, which is extremely simple. It is also a link that every alchemy master is very familiar with, but no one can guarantee success.

Just as the two were thinking hard, an old and hearty laugh came in.

"Two Taoist friends, why are you hesitating? Do you have so little confidence in yourself?"
