Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 155 New situation, new atmosphere, great perfection in spiritual vision!

 After a shower, the climate became much cooler.

Luo Chen walked along the mountain road and walked in Xianyue Valley.

Beside him was Gu Caiyi who hurried back.

“The cooperation with the Nangong family has been negotiated.”

“Every month from now on, we will be provided with milk from beasts worth a thousand spirit stones. They also specifically asked us if we need milk from another kind of monster, but I refused for the time being.”

Luo Chen praised, "It's right to refuse. For now, the two milk teas are enough for Mixue Bingcheng to gain a foothold in Dahefang. Unless new competitors appear, we will slowly launch other new products ”

 “Well, that’s what I thought too.”

Gu Caiyi nodded heavily, "In addition, the Dajiang Gang has re-established a jade supply relationship with us. In terms of price, the original rules of the Poshan Gang remain unchanged."

 This is also good news.

Luo Chen recently refined chalcedony pills, using Huan jade that was in stock at the pill hall during the Poshan Gang period.

 But after two months of frantic refining, the raw materials have basically bottomed out.

 The Dajiang Gang took the initiative to show their goodwill, which is good news.

"According to your request, in addition to the two shops in the inner city and the outer city, we have contacted five...four major families."

 The five major foundation-building families in Dahefang have now become the four major ones with the demise of the Fu family.

 Even the Chen family, which is not worthy of its name, is currently in an extremely worrying situation.

 There are several small forces composed of casual cultivators who are eyeing them and have great intentions of imitating Luo Tianhui's feats.

“We have provided several bottles of the best-quality chalcedony elixir for free to each house, and given a preferential purchase price for gold-plated VIPs.”

“They are still hesitant at the moment, but I feel that as long as they try it out, it will definitely work.”

 When he said this, Gu Caiyi was full of confidence.

 There is a difference between family monks and casual monks.

 Their model is more like some sects.

  High-level tribesmen are responsible for spiritual practice and various major decision-making.

 Those with a middle level, or those who are old, will be assigned to various chores.

　　Younger and lower-level tribesmen, on the contrary, received the best treatment.

 Do not participate in various chores and just concentrate on cultivation.

 For this group of tribesmen, major families often refer to the sect model and distribute a certain amount of spiritual stones and elixirs to them to assist them in their cultivation.

From time to time, the younger generation will be organized to have trials and battles with people from other families.

 Let him stop practicing and lose his fighting skills.

This is also the reason why casual cultivators without roots or roots are envious of family monks or sect monks.

 When you are at your weakest, you don’t have to worry about cultivation resources the least.

 It is this market that Luo Tianhui is now targeting.

Want to make Chalcedon Dan into various families and become a designated elixir.

 The reason why Luo Chen made this decision was because the price of elixirs in Lingyao Pavilion was too expensive.

 A bottle of Qi-nourishing pills, which can easily cost a hundred spiritual stones, is really not something that monks in the early or middle stages of Qi refining can enjoy casually.

 Even a family that cultivates immortality must consider the rationing of elixirs as appropriate.

However, taking elixirs to assist in cultivation is the biggest shortcut for monks on the road to cultivation.

 Compared to the Qi-Nourishing Pill, the Chalcedony Pill is cheap enough and can be supplied in quantity.

Luo Chen can capture this part of the sinking market as long as he lowers the price slightly.

 At that time, Luo Tianhui will not have to worry about opening up the market.

These few families alone, plus the casual cultivators from Dahefang, can consume the elixirs produced by Luo Tianhui.

 In fact, Mi Shuhua also had such a big strategy at the beginning.

 But in the end, he was still reluctant to give up his interests and did not go in the direction of these foundation-building families with fixed needs.

Of course, at that time, there was also the Xuan Yihui, composed of five major families, and the situation was vaguely tit-for-tat with the Poshan Gang.

Luo Chen would naturally not make this mistake.

Moreover, the relationship between Luo Tianhui and several major families is quite "harmonious" now.

 During Gu Caiyi's work report, the two of them walked slowly around the Xieyue Valley.

 Everywhere I passed, there were often voices saying "Hello, President" and "Good morning, President".

The way the monks looked at Luo Chen changed from the ordinary treatment at first to one with caution, respect, and a hint of awe.

In any case, it was Luo Chen who led Luo Tianhui to capture the Fu family!

Furthermore, as the president, he also defeated Fu Zhang, who possessed the talisman treasure, in the final battle in front of everyone.

 The means are convincing.

 The strength is awesome!

 “Ahem…”

"Luo Chen, are you okay?" Gu Caiyi looked at Luo Chen with concern.

Waving his hands, Luo Chen took a deep breath of fresh air.

"It doesn't matter. In a few days at most, my injury will be healed."

 He told the truth and was not trying to be brave.

 For a monk, the most serious trauma is the injury to the soul.

  Secondly, it is Dantian.

 Then, there are the meridians and acupoints.

Comparatively speaking, damage to the internal organs is also a relatively serious internal injury, second only to damage to the meridians and acupoints.

However, thanks to the strong physique of the monks, injuries to the internal organs will often heal on their own.

 Hence, there are very few people who refine healing elixirs for injuries to internal organs and organs.

 So, compared with targeted meridians repair elixirs, it is easier to cure external injuries.

 If the internal organs are damaged, they will heal more slowly.

Luo Chen is not in a hurry. While his lungs are injured, he can still brush up the healing technique to the master level, but there are still dozens of proficiency levels left.

He also wanted to know how effective the master-level healing technique would be, and how it would compare with part-time doctors like Granny Yuan and Luo Tianhong.

Luo Chen stopped when he reached a pool of water.

 “You go and do your work first, you don’t need to accompany me.”

“Well, you should take care of yourself. I’ll ask Granny Yuan to make you a bowl of pig lung soup later.”

After Gu Caiyi left, Luo Chen quietly walked to the water pool.

Then.

"Hey!"

"ah!"

The childish and sharp scream sounded, which startled Luo Chen.

 Qu Lingjun jumped down from the rockery stone, holding a book, and bowed respectfully to Luo Chen.

 “Hello, President!”

Luo Chen waved and took the book.

While flipping through the pages, he asked: "How is your memorization after such a long time?"

Qu Lingjun said anxiously: "It should be almost done."

 “It’s almost impossible!”

“It’s almost the same in normal times, but at critical moments, it may be much different.”

Luo Chen smiled slightly and closed the "Hundred Herbs Atlas".

Sit down on the bluestone that Qu Lingjun had previously used, lift up the hem of his gown, and place his right leg on his left knee.

 When the gown covered her thighs, she slowly said:

“Here, I’ll ask and you answer. If you’re satisfied, I’ll give you a reward.”

  Qu Lingjun’s eyes lit up.

 Immediately stood up straight in front of Luo Chen.

“Ginseng is the most common medicinal herb. It is often used whether in elixir refining or self-cultivation. Do you know what kinds of ginseng are there?”

Qu Lingjun replied without hesitation: "It is wild ginseng that lives in the wilderness and swamps, it is mountain ginseng that is planted in spiritual fields, there are also rock ginseng that grows in rock walls and mines, and blood ginseng that **** the blood of living creatures. There are many rumors." On top of the snow-capped mountains, there are also snow ginseng…”

 After answering, his little chest was raised high, waiting for Luo Chen to praise him.

Luo Chen chuckled and said, "Then how to identify the most common mountain ginseng? Age, potency, and appearance."

Qu Lingjun pursed his lips and replied calmly:

"It should be distinguished from five aspects. Beard, reed, skin, grain and body, these are the five shapes of ginseng."

 “What should be done?”

"Long beards, old and tough, sparse and long, if there are pearl spots, it is an annual... In addition, there are three methods of looking, smelling and tasting. The five shapes belong to the looking method, and smelling is used to distinguish the potency of the medicine. It’s said that thousand-year-old ginseng will have a light fragrance even if it lives in a dirty place.”

 …

 “How to distinguish blue orange grass and Zhanxing grass?”

“The two have similar shapes and similar smells. But when blue citrus grass enters your mouth, there will be a sweet and sour taste.”

“But Zhanxingcao cannot be eaten. It is highly poisonous, so how can it be identified when it is eaten?”

“At this time, if you take Jie Guang Ye as a supplement, you won’t be afraid of Zhanxing’s poison. Even if you take it in large amounts, you can still improve your spiritual power.”

 …

 “What’s the explanation for Huanyou?”

 “How can I remove dianthus without damage?”

 One question after another was constantly thrown out by Luo Chen.

Qu Lingjun answered quickly and accurately at first, but then his thinking speed slowed down.

Especially when it comes to several similar herbs, even if Luo Chen takes it out from the storage bag and asks him to identify it, he will rack his brains and finally give the answer.

 In this way, time slowly passed into the afternoon.

 Finally, with Qu Lingjun sweating profusely, Luo Chen stood up and ended the teaching test.

“President, have I passed the test?”

“Well, it’s not bad. Although I’m not very proficient, I’ve basically memorized it all.”

  Qu Lingjun wiped his sweat, raised his head, and asked excitedly: "Then what is my reward?"

Luo Chen shook his head with a smile and took out a book from his storage bag.

 The young man lowered his head, "Or "Baicao Tupu"?"

 But after opening it, he opened his small mouth.

“Is this the Baicao atlas that you personally annotated, President?”

"right!"

Luo Chen said seriously: "Memorizing it is only the first step. But each herb has many uses, how to mix it, and weight taboos. These are not found in the book. So, next, you have to be familiar with each herb. A property of herbal medicine.”

Qu Lingjun twisted his body restlessly, "But, the people in the book are all dead!"

“I allow you to receive a certain share of medicinal herbs in the medicine pavilion and conduct experiments.”

 Qu Lingjun became excited when he heard that he could get started.

 This is great.

“In addition, I will give you another talisman to protect your life.”

“But I haven’t practiced yet, so I don’t have spiritual power?”

"It doesn't matter, I have my own means." Luo Chen smiled slightly and swiped his finger. It was only when Qu Lingjun felt pain that his finger was cut open.

 “Put blood on this talisman.”

The little boy gritted his teeth, pretending to be strong, and squeezed out a drop of blood, which fell on the light yellow talisman.

Luo Chen made a secret with his fingers and unleashed a stream of spiritual power.

 Then, in a flash of spiritual light, the drop of blood completely seeped into the talisman.

“Okay, if you encounter danger in the future, this talisman can save your life.”

 “Go and play, don’t endorse today.”

 Luo Chen waved his hand.

The young man bit his finger and ran away happily.

 Seeing this scene, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile tenderly.

At some point, Wang Yuan came to him.

 “You think highly of this child?”

"Okay!"

“But he only has four spiritual roots, and there is no hope for him.”

 “My qualifications are not worse than his?”

"Can…"

Luo Chen said lazily: "Poor qualifications are not useless. At least in the future, when you know that you are hopeless, you can calm down and put the time spent on cultivation on other things."

Wang Yuan was startled, and his eyes fell on the "Baicao Atlas" that the young man had memorized before in Luo Chen's hand, thinking deeply.

"looking for me?"

"It's nothing serious. Your injury is almost healed. I just want to return Luo Tianhui's affairs to you."

Wang Yuan smiled bitterly, "You don't know, in just these few days, a lot of things have accumulated in the meeting."

"Huh?" Luo Chen asked curiously: "If there is anything else, I have taken care of it at Jintang. Murong Qinglian is also responsible for the reward and aftermath matters."

“Among the resources of the Fu family, there are books related to making talismans. Recently, everyone has been discussing whether to establish a hall for making and selling talismans.”

Luo Chen understood instantly.

 In the battle a few days ago, after he killed Fu Zhang, the casual cultivators of Dahefang were temporarily frightened.

Luo Tianhui took this opportunity and, under the leadership of Wang Yuan, went in and plundered a lot, and actually recovered a lot of resources.

  But, establish another talisman-making department?

Luo Chen flatly refused without much thought.

Wang Yuan did not object, nor was he optimistic about this matter.

“However, you can send me books related to making talismans.”

Wang Yuan said yes casually, but after the words came out, he frowned.

 “You don’t want to also practice talisman making, do you?”

"Isn't it possible?" Luo Chen said confidently: "Although I have no foundation in making talismans, I am quite confident in spells."

"Being able to cast spells does not mean that you can make talismans." Wang Yuan advised earnestly: "Besides, refining alchemy already takes up too much of your time. If you are distracted from making talismans, it will hinder your practice."

 “Don’t worry, I will weigh the pros and cons.”

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Wang Yuan said nothing more.

  Anyway, these resources should be distributed nominally.

Wang Yuan acted very quickly. After a while, he sent someone to deliver all the things to Luo Chen.

Alone, Luo Chen opened the storage bag.

　　 Huo!

It’s really a huge resource!

There are seven talisman pens, and the best one is of a first-class high-grade, named Jinzhu.

There are also ten jars of fine talisman ink and hundreds of fine talisman skins.

This is only part of it, most of the resources are left at the Xuantang.

Luo Chen ignored these things and looked at the books and bamboo slips.

 "Introduction to Talisman Making"

 "Complete Collection of First-Order Talisman and Seal Script"

 "Preliminary Interpretation of Fu Dao"

 "On the Essentials of Drawing the Fireball Technique"

  "How to streamline the production of talismans for large spells"

 After reading the names of these books, Luo Chen couldn't help but shook his head.

“If I want to make some success in making talismans, I’m afraid it will take me most of my life. Even if I have the system to help me, this time will still be calculated in years.”

 He is very self-aware and the system is not omnipotent.

 As far as alchemy is concerned, he first inherited the ten-year foundation of the original body, and then immersed himself in Bigu Dan for more than a year.

The following wonderful pills were mixed in and practiced for a year.

 Later, I learned the Chalcedony Pill and continued to refine it.

 With such a profound accumulation, the blood-burning elixir prescription was barely deduced.

It can be said that in terms of the overall refining of first-level elixirs, Luo Chen can barely be called a master of alchemy.

But even so, he still felt that the way of alchemy was as broad and profound as a high mountain.

 He has just stepped into the foot of the mountain.

If you spend more time on making talismans, you won't be able to seek immortality in this life.

The reason why I collected these things is to see if I can use the rocks from other mountains to attack jade on the magic path.

  After all, making talismans is drawing spells into the talisman skin.

 First of all, the Talisman Maker must be required to master a certain spell.

 During the drawing process, you also have to accurately control spiritual power, ensure the power of spells, etc.

These things can more or less allow Luo Chen to gain some experience when practicing spells.

In the battle with Fu Zhang, in addition to using the best magical weapons, he also used Xiaoyao Wind Control and Dzogchen Fireball.

In this way, he not only avoids the main attack of the magic hammer, but also poses a threat to the opponent.

The "Fire Sun Technique" in the eyes of outsiders is actually his Dzogchen Fireball Technique.

 Recalling the scene at that time, Luo Chen was very dissatisfied.

“Due to the rush of time, the number of fused fireballs was too small, and it could only cause a devastating blow to the ninth-level Qi Refining monks. It was not as powerful as a second-level spell.”

  Second-level spells are aimed at foundation building methods.

  In other words, it can threaten the foundation-building monks!

"Now that I have broken through the ninth level of Qi Refining, my strength has greatly improved. If I can improve one or two more fireball techniques, I may be able to threaten the monks in the foundation building stage."

 This is the real purpose of Luo Chen!

 He has had enough of the oppression of foundation-building monks like Mi Shuhua and Miao Wen.

I really don’t want to be coveted by other foundation-building monks in the future.

 Hence, he must master the means to threaten the foundation-building monks.

 Spells are his breakthrough direction.

 “Don’t be in a hurry, you have to take your time, haste makes waste.”

Luo Chen picked out the book "On the Essentials of Drawing the Fireball Technique" and put the other books into the storage bag.

 Just start researching from the most familiar place.

He would like to see how the fireball talisman, the most common low-level talisman, is made.

 …

 At midnight, in Changyin Mountain.

 There was a faint howl of demonic wolves, and there were also bursts of insect chirping.

Luo Chen used the Spiritual Eye Technique and looked at the three-foot-long crater made by the Fireball Technique in the distance.

 This is the result of him casting a small fireball alone.

 The power has improved a lot compared to the past.

As long as he did not meet the ninth-level Qi-refining monks, he was confident that he could face dozens of mid- to late-level Qi-refining monks alone.

“My fighting methods are extremely rich, and my group lethality against low-level monks is also among the best at my level.”

Luo Chen is very clear about his positioning of strength.

 What he wants to do now is to dismantle the secret of the operation of the fireball spell, not to make a talisman, but to integrate the effect of the blazing sun spell.

"go!"

With a thought in his mind, Luo Chen made another secret.

 In fact, he was already able to cast the fireball spell "instantly", but this time, he still chose to cast the spell in a precise manner.

With spiritual light blooming in his eyes, Luo Chen stared at the output, gathering and shaping of spiritual power.

 Then the fireball flies out of the trajectory and explodes.

　　Boom!

 Another pit appeared, and Luo Chen rubbed his tired eyes.

“Spells use handprints and mantras as the introduction, spiritual power as the source of energy, and finally take shape.”

“The blessing of the system has allowed me to save the steps of hand seals and spells as I continue to become more proficient, and I have reached the state of instant casting.”

 “Actually, this is also the most correct direction.”

“If the spiritual consciousness can be released, with a thought, it can replace the mudra spells and cast relatively low-level spells.”

“The direction is correct, but I only knew it before, but I didn’t know why.”

“Under the premise that spiritual consciousness cannot be released externally, mudras and mantras actually represent the path of gathering spiritual power, forming structures, detonating structures, etc.”

“If I use the last burst of spiritual power without releasing it, does that mean that the fireball spell can still delay the explosion?”

“If this spiritual power is injected in advance, will the molding time be saved?”

While thinking again and again, Luo Chen used the fireball technique again and again.

 The spiritual eye technique is constantly operating, paying attention to the changes.

He did not start directly with the fusion of fireballs to form the Fierce Sun Technique, but instead dissected and analyzed it from the original Fireball Technique.

 Because Luo Chen believes that any high-level spell cannot ignore the most basic things.

This inspiration actually comes from the second-level spell "Landslide".

 The power described by this technique is extremely powerful.

 It is not inferior to the powerful second-level spells such as Wan Jian Shu, Ice Soul Divine Needle, and Thunder Shock Sub, and is even better than the fire-based Fierce Sun Technique.

 But for this technique, you need to learn three prerequisite spells first.

Isn’t this a sign of paying attention to the basics?

 At dawn, Luo Chen stopped practicing.

Although the shortcomings of the slow fusion speed of the Fierce Sun Technique have not been completely solved, he has gained a lot this night.

This is reflected in the fact that the ordinary fireball technique and the small killing move of Flying Fire and Flowing Firefly are more powerful than before.

 “It’s strange, why my eyes hurt so much!”

Luo Chen subconsciously rubbed his eyes again.

“Is it because of the excessive use of spiritual vision last night?”

 “Spiritual Eyes…”

Luo Chen was startled and closed his eyes tightly.

 In the darkness, there are colorful colors hidden.

 The art of spiritual vision is finally complete!
