Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 167: Supplementing the Tongyou Pill, refining Qi to strengthen the body and soul, a three-pronged approach!

 After returning to Luotianhui, Luo Chen once again entered into the rhythm of concentrating on alchemy and cultivation.

During this period, Wang Yuan came to see him once.

It was not because of the "Tianpeng Transformation" technique, but because of the breakthrough in the small methods Wang Yuan had previously studied to deal with ghosts.

 But Luo Chen already had a high-quality magical weapon, the Qingying Lantern, so that small means was of little use to him.

 “Then shall we send people to explore the city?”

Qin Liangchen asked with interest.

Now Qin Liangchen is affiliated with Dantang and serves as a dutiful elder.

Helping with some chores on a daily basis, but it’s not required.

 His role is mainly reflected in combat.

The last time he attacked the Fu family, he took action.

 One man could defeat Fu Jue, the third elder of the Fu family, and easily killed him.

I have to say that Luo Tianhong’s Golden Silkworm Interruption Technique is indeed extremely effective.

 After taking over the newbie, Qin Liangchen quickly adapted.

 Faster than the last adaptation time.

 Perhaps, you have experience!

Glancing at the excited Qin Liangchen, Luo Chen did not give a direct answer, but asked about the exploration results of the other forces.

“The exploration progress of each family is different. Currently, the Nangong family is making the fastest progress. Not only has it recovered the remains of the monks in its own shop, but it has also made a lot of gains.”

“The progress of the Dajiang Gang is the slowest, and the leader is Li Da who is on the ninth level of Qi Refining.”

 Hearing the name Li Da, Luo Chen's eyes flashed.

 He could remember that in order to hold him back, Gao Tingyuan talked about the past of exploring the Soul Refining Cave.

 One of them was that he and Li Da went in together.

This person is not of the highest caliber, and it was he who won the next match on behalf of the Dajiang Clan on the Taoist stage.

The monk from the Poshan Gang who was killed by him was Feng Linhu, the original owner of the mine.

 They are all old acquaintances.

 “Li Da takes the lead in exploring?”

“In addition to the Fengdu robes and Qingying lantern given by Gao Tingyuan, he must also have other things to rely on.”

“It seems that he also gained a lot in the Soul Refining Cave!”

Lianhun Sanren Gu Yue is a foundation-building true cultivator after all.

 The inheritance after death may not be as good as the foundation of the sect.

 But for two ninth-level Qi refining monks, it is undoubtedly very valuable.

After listening for a while, Luo Chen slowly shook his head.

 “Let’s not get involved in this muddy water.”

"Fine!"

Qin Liangchen is not in a good mood. He has also been bored recently and just wants to go back to his home in the inner city.

There are not many resources left there, but there are some commemorative gadgets that I want to get back.

Seeing him like this, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "It's so boring. Brother Qin, how is your cultivation going?"

 When mentioning this, Qin Liangchen's smile was a little forced.

Luo Chen frowned, "What's wrong? Is there a shortage of elixirs, or is there a bottleneck?"

 Qin Liangchen shook his head.

“I only had a few years of hard work left before I could achieve the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.”

 “There is no bottleneck or anything like that.”

“I’m not short of pills either. After all, there are many high-priced dust pills transferred from other places in the major black markets.”

Luo Chen was confused, "What happened?"

Qin Liangchen sighed and touched his right arm with his left hand.

“The newly attached arm is mainly made of lapis lazuli silk, supplemented by my own flesh and bones.”

 “But after all, it’s not my original arm!”

“Now my practice efficiency is not as good as before. The original few years of hard work will have to be postponed for at least ten or twenty years.”

 According to memory, Qin Liangchen should be over fifty now.

 Ten or twenty years later, he has already passed the age of sixty.

 At that time, even with the help of Foundation Establishment Pill, the probability of Foundation Establishment will be greatly reduced.

What’s more, he himself only has three spiritual roots.

Luo Chen couldn't help but understand, no wonder Qin Liangchen was so uninterested.

The road is dusty, and I'm afraid it would be the same if it were me.

The new arm is mainly constructed from the silk of the green golden silkworm. Even though Qin Liangchen's meridians and acupuncture points are simulated through flesh and blood, it is not the original after all.

 During daily practice, if it lasts for a little longer, you will feel a tingling sensation.

 Practice for a long time and even destroy your arms.

It’s no wonder that Qin Liangchen’s cultivation speed dropped drastically.

 Luo Chen had no choice but to comfort the other party.

 Fortunately, Qin Liangchen was also open-minded and did not let such emotions continue.

"Besides, the road is walked step by step. There will be a road before the car reaches the mountain!"

 He revealed the matter with a hearty smile.

Luo Chen sighed in his heart, but still had a smile on his face, and gave the other party something to do.

 “Receive a batch of medicinal materials?”

"Well, it should be delivered from Zhenlong Black Market in the next two days. I still need to trouble Brother Qin, please run a trip for me."

While speaking, Luo Chen handed over a set of high-grade magic weapons.

 This is one of the trophies from the original Battle of Xianyue Valley, and it has a hidden function.

Although the effect is not as good as the Dzogchen Qi Condensation Spirit Art, it is still quite mysterious.

 After Qin Liangchen took over, he should deal with this matter.

 After he left, Luo Chen shook his head.

 He has done enough, but when it comes to spiritual practice, there is nothing he can do.

 There are some things that you still have to rely on yourself.

 Taking out a piece of animal skin, Luo Chen studied it with concentration.

“Emperor’s Liquid Serum, based on its neutralizing properties and medicinal effects, is indeed an elixir that is beneficial to monsters.”

“But the three auxiliary ingredients can only be absorbed by the human race.”

“In other words, this medicine can actually be used by humans?”

  "There is nature but no life, replenish nature and return to nature. With nature and life, get rid of the cage and get close to heaven and earth."

“Can it be understood that plants and trees can get close to the main road by using Imperial Ooze?”

“Is it possible for people other than plants and trees to rely on this medicine to escape from the cage and get closer to heaven and earth?”

 “What’s the meaning of Fan Cong? What’s the meaning of Heaven and Earth?”

 While thinking deeply, Luo Chen had a vague guess.

 But that kind of speculation made him uncertain.

 After a long time, he put away the imperial liquid prescription and took out another prescription.

 Tongyou Dan!

 Main materials are phantom grass and demon fox blood.

 Twenty-seven kinds of auxiliary materials.

Taking it can increase the foundation of the monk’s soul and enhance his spiritual consciousness.

 This is an incomplete prescription, obtained from Mi Shuhua.

 At the beginning, Old Man Mi also gave two elixir prescriptions in addition to "Qing Yuan Dan Jie".

Chalcedony Pill is the top priority, but Tongyou Pill is just an added bonus.

 Although it is incomplete, it has been acquired for a long time.

Luo Chen has almost completed the study, and he has also added some auxiliary materials one after another to barely complete it.

 Turn on the system.

Luo Chen held the completed prescription for Tongyou elixir and felt something in his heart.

 【Tongyou Dan, a complete first-level elixir recipe, you can get started】

  【Whether you are getting started】

 Close the system panel and Luo Chen puts away the prescription with satisfaction.

This proves that the direction of completion is correct. The twenty-seven auxiliary materials can indeed be integrated with the two main materials marked on the original recipe.

 But he did not choose to get started directly.

 The main reason is that it depends on whether Tian Xingzi has collected the corresponding materials for him.

 He can also buy some auxiliary materials from the Lianyun Merchant Alliance.

 But one of the main ingredients, snow fox blood, is not so easy to work with.

 This is a specialty from Xuelianfang.

 Snow Fox, a first-level monster in the Snow Mountain, is good at stealth and illusion, and is extremely intelligent and very understanding of human nature.

This thing is difficult to catch and hunt.

Even with the strength of Zhenlong Black Market, it would be difficult to get it!

 …

 Facts have proved that Luo Chen still greatly underestimated the Zhenlong black market.

 That evening, Qin Liangchen brought back a storage bag.

 “It’s all in!”

"Except for Huangquan Yinsha and Beihai Jade Yaozhu, we have obtained a lot of the medicinal materials on the list. The three thousand spiritual stones you gave me cost a total of one thousand seven hundred and eighty. This is the remaining one. One thousand two hundred and two, 伱点点.”

so smart? Even the blood of the snow fox was obtained!

Luo Chen took the storage bag in surprise and didn't even bother to count the spirit stones.

“I still can’t trust you, Brother Qin.”

Qin Liangchen grinned, "The monk surnamed Wang who delivered the goods said that Huang Quan Yin Sha belongs to the second level evil spirit and they really can't find it. However, we have a way to find the Beihai Jade Yao Pillar. We are in contact and we will definitely supply it next month."

 This result is expected.

Luo Chen also asked Bai Meiling about the Blood Evil Pill before.

According to her, there is no Yin evil spirit in the Yaowang Sect.

Beihai Jade Yao Zhu will be available next month, which is undoubtedly excellent.

 In this way, the refining of Zhongmiao Pills can continue.

Nodding, Luo Chen put away the storage bag and asked with a smile:

“Are you still used to using Fu Zhang’s golden melon hammer?”

“It’s pretty good. Apart from being a little heavy, it’s extremely powerful. It’s also a metal magic weapon, so it’s just right for me.”

 After the battle with the Fu family, Qin Liangchen exchanged Fu Yu's trophies with Luo Chen for Fu Zhang's golden melon hammer.

His original big sword was destroyed in the battle, and he has been missing a satisfactory magic weapon.

 Luo Chen had no choice but to change it directly.

After chatting for a while, Qin Liangchen yawned and left the alchemy hall.

 Now, he and Murong Qinglian live in a courtyard built by Luo Tianhui.

 In fact, most of the Luotian monks now choose to build houses nearby.

 The inner city was destroyed, but the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins spread out.

 Living here is no worse than living in the inner city.

You don’t have to pay rent yet!

Thinking of rent, Luo Chen subconsciously thought of Sun Shou of Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion.

 It's a pity, that is also a very good senior.

 Originally I wanted to devote my life to the sect in this remote city.

 As a result, he died silently, but he did not end his life properly.

 The old friend has passed away, and thinking about it will only increase the sadness.

 After sighing with emotion, Luo Chen entered the alchemy hall.

 First take back the spiritual stones inside, and then place the various medicinal materials inside into the corresponding medicine cabinets.

 Many of these things require special processing.

 Afterwards, he took out all the two main materials and twenty-seven auxiliary materials needed to refine Tongyou Pill.

“The Phantom Grass needs to be dried. This is simple and can be done with the residual heat of the stove.”

 Put a large pile of green Huanyou grass evenly on the fire bed that is usually used to bake medicinal materials.

 The stove below is continuously emitting heat.

 As the two main materials, the processing of Phantom Grass is the simplest.

 But the blood of the snow fox demon is not that simple.

"The processing of snow fox blood is very complicated. It has to go through five processes... It's a pity that if I knew Huanxi, I could save three of them."

“Zhanxingcao is highly toxic, and it also has strong hallucinogenic properties. It needs to be demineralized to eliminate the poison, but the hallucinogenic properties must be retained.”

“These auxiliary materials are not so troublesome. They can be processed in my own pharmacy.”

 …

At midnight, Luo Chen decided on a plan to deal with the many raw materials on the Tongyou Danfang.

 Some have already started processing, while others will have to wait for some time.

　It’s just this moment and that moment!

There are many things that he does not need to do himself. He can just leave them to his pharmacists when the sun rises.

 Cultivation can never be left behind.

After finishing his practice again, Luo Chen took a look at the attribute panel.

 【Realm: Ninth Level of Qi Refining 8/100】

Nearly four months have passed since he broke through the ninth level of Qi Refining.

 This progress in practice made him very satisfied.

 In the first month, the progress slowly climbed from 1 to 2, like a turtle speed.

 But over the next two months, because of the Elf Pill, the efficiency doubled, and now it has reached 8 progresses.

“The specific practice speed should be about 1.5 per month.”

 “The Elf Pill is really a good thing!”

 “I hope Tian Xingzi can get more for me.”

Luo Chen estimated the inventory of Elf Pills in his body. More than two months have passed and one pill has been consumed in ten days. Now there are only thirty-three pills left.

 In other words, it can last for up to one year.

 “There’s no need to rush, there’s no need to rush!”

Luo Chen sighed with emotion. The current speed of cultivation is extremely unparalleled.

 A monk with two spiritual roots, nothing more than that.

 With the blessing of the Elf Pill, I am afraid that he is not much different from the Tianlinggen monk.

However, the speed of practice cannot be increased, and one can also improve one's strength in other ways.

Facing the cold morning wind, Luo Chen took out a small medicine bottle from the storage bag.

 Under the guidance of spiritual power, two drops of crystal liquid flew out and slowly fell into the wide-open eyes.

As soon as the medicine went in, Luo Chen felt a burning pain, and he quickly closed his eyes.

 It's like chili pepper smearing your eyes, and it's like a needle pricking you with a sword.

 Tears fall unconsciously.

 After a while, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

 Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Luo Chen let out a long breath.

“Fortunately, I have practiced Ming Shen Sha Sha, and the pain is still within the tolerance range.”

 Blinking his eyes, he felt that after staying up late to practice, his tired eyes became clearer.

A pair of eyes, dark and deep.

The light penetrated in, as bright as the stars in the endless starry sky.

“The clear liquid is really ten times more effective than the moistening pearl liquid!”

“After only two months of dripping, the distance I can see has exceeded a hundred miles.”

 Shaking the empty bottle, Luo Chen felt quite regretful.

“No, I need to get more of this stuff!”

 The benefits of a pair of spiritual eyes are very clear to Luo Chen.

 Because of these eyes, he enjoyed too many conveniences.

Battle of Xieyue Valley, see through the disguise of the spy.

In the two battles of Lancang River and Dahe Inner City, he saw battle scenes that ordinary people could not see from a safe distance.

Especially in the Zhenlong black market, these eyes allowed him to see through the disguise of the animal skin of "Tianpeng Transformation" and obtain the second-level elixir "Emperor's Liquid".

This is the first time since he time traveled that he has felt the pleasure of "picking up leaks".

 Hence, continuing to strengthen your eyes is an established decision.

Even if there is no clear liquid, you should insist on using the moisturizing pearl liquid.

 As time passes, little things add up, and one day we will be able to take a further step forward in the Dzogchen spiritual vision technique!

 Except for the clear liquid, the practice is not over yet.

 Luo Chen took out another bottle.

 Golden jade liquid!

  This body-refining elixir is more suitable for monks in the Qi-refining stage!

The reason why Wang Yuan was able to reach the second stage of body refining in a short period of time was mainly due to his accumulation of martial arts during his mortal period.

 Since he took over Jiaotang, he has spent almost all his resources on Taishanfang to buy gold and jade liquid from Jinshi Pavilion.

　　After he reached the first level of body refining, he had a lot of gold and jade liquid, so he gave a bottle to Luo Chen.

It was also at that time that Luo Chen enjoyed this thing for the first time.

I have to say that the effect is indeed unique.

 Its efficacy is evident from its name.

Gold jade liquid, gold corresponds to the external body, long-term use, step by step towards the realm of physical healing.

Yu Ye is the benchmark for the inner muscles and bones.

When it is completed, it will be the sign of Wang Yuan's current ice muscle and jade bone.

As for how to practice in the second stage of body refining, Wang Yuan briefly mentioned it, but did not go into too much detail.

To put it into detail, since Luo Chen has not personally been involved in body refining, he cannot understand what those leaders are talking about.

He only knows that his physical condition must not fall behind.

Golden jade liquid is to strengthen the body, and Tongyou Pill is to strengthen the soul.

Even if you can't reach the level of excellence, you can't hold back when breaking through the foundation.

Without thinking, Luo Chen took a sip of the gold jade liquid.

The feeling is like drinking lava.

But Luo Chen, who had already gotten used to it, felt like drinking boiling soy milk, just smacking his lips.

“Unfortunately, you can’t drink too much in one day, otherwise it will easily burn your internal organs.”

Luo Chen could feel that after the golden jade liquid entered his body, he felt a numb and itchy feeling all over his body.

 This is a sign that the body is constantly improving.

 “In this case, only the Tongyou Pill is left.”

 Refining Qi, strengthening body, and strengthening soul.

 Luo Chen needs a three-pronged approach!

 Everything is just to break through the foundation!
