Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 173 Falling clouds create smoke. Time waits for us not.

"Um?"

 “Fellow Taoist Murong, do you have any other advice?”

Wang Yanchang stopped and looked at Luo Chen strangely.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "I don't want to take advice seriously, I just want to..."

He originally wanted to inquire about the origin of Zhenlong Black Market, but he felt it was out of the ordinary.

As soon as the words came to my lips, they naturally turned into another sentence.

“The current situation seems to be calm recently, but there is an undercurrent!”

Wang Yanchang twitched the corners of his lips and just stared, waiting for Luo Chen to reveal his true meaning.

Luo Chen did not delay, "So, just in case, I think next month, all the materials on the list can be doubled in supply."

 “Can you do it?”

 Double the medicinal materials?

Wang Yanchang frowned, then shook his head and said: "I can't make a decision on this matter. I need to ask Mr. Tianxingzi for instructions before I give you an answer."

 “It’s okay, I can wait.”

"Um."

Wang Yanchang nodded and went straight into the hall.

 Outside the black market, Luo Chen shook his head in an incomprehensible manner.

Tian Xingzi has a fairly good relationship with him, and he frequently expresses kindness.

 But this is by no means a reason to push oneself further.

 It may be the right thing to explore the other party’s purpose, but it is just to satisfy your own curiosity.

Even if you know it, what's the use?

Maybe it will anger the other party and destroy the good cooperative relationship between the two parties.

In contrast, behind the words "time waits for no one", what is revealed is that a greater chaos may be coming.

 In this case, what he should do is to accumulate grain widely!

 These raw materials are the "food" he needs most.

Without these things, his superb alchemy skills will be useless.

Soon, Wang Yanchang left and returned.

 He brought back the answer Luo Chen wanted.

 Double the material supply, yes!

 In this case, Luo Chen has no reason to continue to bother.

 After saying goodbye, he dived into the night.

With his current strength at the ninth level of Qi refining, plus the Dzogchen Breath Condensing Spiritual Art, he is still in the dark night of the outer city in a complex environment.

As long as he is willing, even if he is a true cultivator of Foundation Establishment, he may not be able to find him.

Of course, tracking methods such as fire coverage and magic weapons cleaning the ground are not included!

 …

 Sneak all the way.

 Arrived a hundred miles away from Luo Tianhui, Luo Chen did not enter directly.

 After experiencing the many tricks Mi Shuhua secretly used under his hands, he has become more cautious.

Every time he comes in or out, he will carefully check whether there is anything strange about him.

In his opinion, any monk's method cannot be truly silent as long as the realm is not too high.

The reason why Mi Shuhua was able to deceive him into ignorance was mainly because he was only in the middle stage of Qi Refining at that time.

 At the later stage of Qi refining, those methods had been coexisting with him for a long time without him realizing it.

Even if by luck, the spiritual power mark was found, the spiritual consciousness mark was still not found.

Even after Mi Shuhua’s death, the master’s spiritual mark remained with him for a long time.

If Luo Tianhong, the true successor of the Jade Cauldron, hadn't discovered it and Pang Renxiong, the master of the golden elixir, had not personally taken action, I don't know how long the soul seed would have been hidden.

If you suddenly cause trouble when you break through the foundation, it will be great fun.

Now Luo Chen's realm has reached a high level, his soul is far beyond the same level, and he can be vaguely compared to a foundation-building monk.

Coupled with the Dzogchen spiritual vision technique, after careful inspection, almost no problems can be found.

 But even so, he still felt that it was not safe.

 “Duh!”

 With a low drink in his mouth, he applied three cleaning techniques to his body.

To the outside world, Luo Chen brushed his hands at himself three times in a row.

 After checking it three times, I checked again and finally felt relieved.

At this time, he walked leisurely towards Luo Tianhui's residence.

“I have been at the master level of Cleansing Technique for a long time, and I am still more than two hundred proficiency levels away from Dzogchen.”

“You have to find time to fill it up, there may be unexpected effects.”

Luo Chen has high hopes for the perfection of every magic spell.

Although the Dzogchen's escape and traction techniques all disappointed him.

But the Fireball Technique, the Wind Control Technique, the Breath Condensing Spirit Technique, and even the Spiritual Eye Technique all gave him a big surprise during the Great Perfection.

 In comparison, Cleansing, a widely spread life spell, has shown great potential at the master level.

 Can cleanse many smells other than the original filth, such as alchemy, medicinal, spiritual, and even evil spirits.

 He was looking forward to what changes the Dzogchen-level cleansing technique would have.

It would be wonderful if you were given a magical power that could clarify the universe and sweep away the world.

 Well, we’re at the doorstep.

 Fantasy time is over!

Luo Chen calmly started making preparations for practice.

 Boil the spirit-building liquid, replace the spirit stones in the small spirit-gathering array, and insert a complete soothing incense into the incense burner...

 After everything was ready, Luo Chen took the dust-transforming pill in his mouth and started today's practice.

 At dawn, Luo Chen leisurely ended yesterday’s practice.

“After taking Tongyou Pill and your soul growing, you didn’t expect there would be such benefits?”

Luo Chen only felt that after a night of practice, he was still energetic.

 This was unimaginable in the past.

 The reason why when a monk is at a low level, his cultivation speed is slow without taking elixirs.

 The reason is that the soul is not strong enough and the number of times it can be used every day is extremely limited.

 Once in the morning and once in the evening, it is considered to be the limit.

 For this situation, there are not many capable people in the world of immortality who are trying to solve it.

 The last method given is to use foreign objects.

 Such as soothing incense!

 However, this still cannot be regarded as fundamentally solving the problem.

 To solve this problem, only after the foundation is established, the soul is strong enough and can even release spiritual consciousness.

 At this time, you can run the natal skills many times.

 It is rumored that high-level monks often spend several menstrual years in retreat at a time.

 It is because this problem has been solved.

 As far as Luo Chen is concerned, he has actually been deeply troubled by it.

Even if he is lucky enough to survive a mental calamity, after his soul is doubled, he will still be stuck at the number of times the technique can be run twice.

 But now, he sees hope of solving this problem during the Qi refining period!

“Keep taking Tongyou Dan, maybe soon I will be able to perform Changchun Gong many times a day.”

While muttering to himself, Luo Chen tidied up the spiritual vein cave.

 Come to the alchemy hall and put the Ziyun copper furnace back to the original alchemy room.

 Then, he calmly took out a roll of jade slips from his storage bag.

 “Do I need to take a vow of greatness?”

Mossing the jade slip, Luo Chen took a deep breath and uttered jade sounds.

 “I am Luo Chen!”

 “I hereby swear an oath!”

“Whether you have learned it or not, you will never pass on this alchemy technique to a second person.”

“Whether it’s intentional or not, if any rumors are leaked, it will be counterattacked by the great truth, and you will not be able to advance even an inch throughout your life!”

 After the decisive voice ended, the hazy aura lingering on the jade slip slowly dissipated.

At the same time, Luo Chen faintly noticed a slight feeling of discomfort.

 It was as if something in the dark glanced at him at that moment.

“In this world of cultivating immortals, there really isn’t any way of heaven, right?”

Luo Chen muttered and carefully checked the jade slip in his hand.

 After confirming that there was no hidden plot, he carefully placed the jade slip on his forehead.

 A torrent of information poured into his mind instantly.

"snort…"

A muffled groan sounded, and Luo Chen's face turned pale.

 But he still persisted and did not put down the jade slip.

 After a long time, he slowly took off the jade slip.

 Rubbing his forehead, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“I didn’t expect this friend to come out of nowhere, and I almost got myself into a trap!”

Just now, the huge amount of information in the jade slip was like a torrent pouring into his mind.

That huge amount of information is simply impossible for ordinary Qi refining monks to resist.

 Under normal circumstances, the elders of the sect will set corresponding restrictions, and only the information corresponding to the realm can be seen.

This is why there are often exercises on the market that can be practiced to the middle stage of Qi refining, and exercises that can be practiced to the perfection of Qi refining.

　　Some people started doing this a long time ago.

If no hierarchical restrictions are set up, low-level monks will suddenly be impacted by the huge flow of information.

 At the slightest level, the soul is damaged and languid for several months.

 At worst, he is stupid and stupid, becoming an idiot.

 Because Luo Chen made a friend out of nowhere and made up an alchemist friend who was in the foundation building period.

So Tian Xingzi never thought about this situation at all. This amount of information is nothing to a foundation-building monk.

 Naturally, he will not set any hierarchical restrictions.

If it wasn't for Luo Chen's soul, he was afraid that he would be rushed into a fool by this set of huge information about this set of Danjia.

Even after I pushed it down, I still felt dizzy.

 “I was careless…”

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen went to the Spirit Vein Cave.

 Under the fragrance of moongrass, he became energetic.

  He glanced at the moonlight grass and shook his head.

“Although there is a large amount of wood spiritual energy drawn by the spirit gathering array, the time is too short.”

"It would be nice if it lasted longer." Rubbing his brows, Luo Chen closed his eyes and thought about the contents of the jade slip just now.

 After a long while, he opened his eyes thoughtfully.

 “The method of making smoke from falling clouds.”

“This set of water methods is extremely mysterious and relies on external objects. It can not only refine elixirs, but also increase the level of elixirs.”

 According to the records of this set of water laws.

 When refining the first-level spiritual liquid, you can choose a place where water vapor transpires to help form the elixir.

If it is a second-level spiritual liquid, not to mention the place where the water vapor transpires, it can also be supplemented by a spiritual spring, which will double the effect.

 At the third level of spiritual liquid, the auxiliary effects of water vapor land and spiritual spring are reduced.

At this time, it is best to choose a place with strong water spiritual energy, and use a secret recipe and additional techniques to refine the third-level spiritual liquid.

“It is indeed a first to third level alchemy water method, but it seems a bit reluctant to refine the third level spiritual liquid.”

“But the Emperor’s Liquid is only a second-level spiritual liquid, which is more than enough.”

“Not only that, this method also records two alchemy techniques, which is an unexpected surprise.”

 One is Huanxi Shou and the other is Huayun Shou.

 The former is the elixir that Luo Chen had been thinking about before that could deal with the water and yin attributes.

 After learning the Huanxi Hand, whether it is dealing with the Snow Fox Demon Blood of the Tongyou Pill, or the Monk Essence Blood of the Blood Evil Pill, or Huang Quan Yin Sha, you can get twice the result with half the effort!

  As for the latter, at first glance, it is not surprising.

 Even in the world of immortality, it is not that surprising.

But the cloud-turning hand is the essence of this method of falling clouds and creating smoke.

 Evolving water vapor and using spiritual springs as medicine require the use of this elixir.

 “Next, you’ll have to be busy!”

 Although he was complaining, the smile on Luo Chen's face was visible to the naked eye.

The longer you refine alchemy, the more complicated your mood becomes.

 Repeatedly refining a certain type of elixir will make him tired.

 But every time he came into contact with new knowledge about alchemy, he was extremely happy.

But, no matter what.

 He has grown to love this craft, not just as a means of making a living.

 …

In the following time, in addition to daily practice and studying the fireball technique, Luo Chen also spent an extra three points on alchemy.

 Through the process of refining alchemy with fire method, he would also use water method to process some medicinal materials from time to time.

 Any kind of alchemy cannot be successful if you start it hastily.

 Luo Chen chose to break it down and become familiar with it bit by bit.

 When you finally get started, it will definitely be easier.

 This is the so-called sharpening the sword before chopping firewood!

 …

 Ten days passed by in a blink of an eye.

Luo Chen woke up from his trance.

 Looking at the empty bottle in his hand, he shook his head.

“After eating the Tongyou Pill, I have to practice again.”

 After experiencing his first dream, he had gradually become familiar with the medicinal power of Tongyou Pill.

 This is the third time he has taken it, and his spiritual foundation has increased by one point again.

That feeling of fullness and expansion still lingers in my mind.

Luo Chen did not hesitate and came to a room filled with fishy smell.

 Cages one after another, covered with black cloth.

　　Cast a soundproofing spell at random, and then lift off the black cloth.

 “Woo!”

The howl of a wolf sounded, and a thin gray leaf wolf with bared teeth appeared in front of him.

 Luo Chen smiled slightly and immediately activated the magic of intimidation.

In his eyes, a faint green light emerged.

Gray Leaf Wolf subconsciously took a step back, but his body suddenly froze.

 A moment later, Luo Chen pulled out the gray leaf wolf soul with ease.

Compared to ordinary beasts, the soul of this gray leaf wolf, which has just entered the first-order monster beast level, is much more powerful.

But in front of Luo Chen's already proficient level of magic, he was still powerless to resist.

With a chuckle, Luo Chen drank lightly.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　!」

 After drinking it, cracks appeared in the transparent light group.

 This is a sign of damage to the soul.

At this point, Luo Chen showed a hint of difficulty, but everything was still under control.

　　After two more drinks, Gray Leaf Wolf's soul was completely shattered.

Soon, the soul fragments were absorbed and devoured by the soul-nurturing tree.

The three buds that originally looked green are now becoming more and more green.

 Faintly, there are branches about to emerge.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

With a long breath of turbid air, Luo Chen stopped practicing the magic of intimidation.

“Sure enough, using the souls of monster beasts to cultivate is much faster than using beasts.”

“In just a few dozen times, my proficiency in the magic of deceiving gods has been promoted to the proficiency level.”

Every tug-of-war, wrestling, or even tearing the soul of a monster to pieces is the practice of divine magic.

The stronger the enemy's soul, the more proficiency will be promoted.

In order to digest the three Tongyou Pills, Luo Chen used the God-Awe Technique almost every day.

The number of beasts that have died under his hands recently has reached dozens.

 Later, Luo Chen even ordered Liu Qiang to capture or buy live low-level monsters and keep them in captivity in Luo Tianhui.

Using these monster beasts to practice his skills, his proficiency in the magic of divine frightening increased dramatically in a short period of time.

Not only that, the skyrocketing souls have become more solidified and truly become a part of his heritage.

Such mutual assistance and mutual benefit has the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

The God-Destroying Technique tempers the skyrocketing soul, and the stronger soul will in turn affect the power of the God-Destroying Technique.

  Even said that there are additional gains.

Nowadays, the number of times Luo Chen performs the Changchun Gong every day has increased from four times to five times in the past.

 One more time may not seem like much.

 The impact on cultivation is nothing more than absorbing more spiritual energy.

 However, if a small amount adds up to a large amount, it will be an extremely terrifying improvement!

In addition, Luo Chen also discovered that his soul had become stronger, which was also beneficial to alchemy.

 The day before, I spent the morning and afternoon refining the Chalcedony Pill, and could barely refine sixteen raw materials.

Now it’s easy to do it.

Even occasionally there is still enough energy left to squeeze out time to refine the blood-burning pills Tianxingzi needs.

 Leaving the animal room, Luo Chen nodded to Liu Qiang who was guarding outside.

The other party understood the meaning and immediately went to deal with the corpse of the monster himself.

Walking in Luo Tianhui, Luo Chen estimated the stock of pills.

“The Burning Blood Pill has been refined eight times recently, all using the Four Elephant Cauldron, with four raw materials at a time. According to my proficiency, I have accumulated about forty pills.”

“If you add the ten I’ve been saving, you can make up to fifty.”

“But there are still a few days left, so there is no rush to deliver the goods.”

 “The chalcedony pill can be taken slowly, let’s refine two more furnaces of blood-burning pills!”

“We can’t stop taking the Tongyou Pill. We have to refine a bottle in the next few days.”

After making this decision, Luo Chen sighed quietly.

 Unconsciously, he found that he was running out of time.

Chalcedony pills are the main business. Only by refining enough can one earn enough spiritual stones to purchase various cultivation resources.

 The Burning Blood Pill involves his cooperation with Tian Xingzi, which affects many things and cannot be stopped.

 As for Tongyou Dan, although it is for personal use.

 But this matter involves the foundation of the soul and is closely related to foundation building, so it’s best not to stop.

 These are only related to alchemy.

 He still needs to practice, this is the most important thing and he must not stop!

Those spells, the research on fireball, represent his current biggest trump card in combat.

 The magic of intimidation is used to temper the soul and target the ghosts and ghosts in the ghost city.

There are also cleansing spells, two prerequisite spells for landslide, and healing spells that are close to the master level.

Oh, there are several alchemy techniques related to alchemy, and I just got the method of falling clouds and creating smoke.

 Research on the prescriptions of Emperor Liuxing Danfang and Xuesha Danfang.

 “There’s not enough time!”

“Iron men can’t stand being built like this!”

"I finally understand why Wang Yuan is unwilling to take care of the trivial matters of Luo Tianhui. These things also take up a lot of time."

“No, we can’t stop doing this with a hammer here and a hammer here.”

Facing the cold mountain wind, Luo Chen walked towards the Alchemy Hall with a somewhat heavy pace.

 He felt that he had to make some trade-offs.

 In the past, I had no choice, but now as the leader of a group, I can choose what I want to do in a targeted manner.

 As for how to get there, we need to think carefully about it.

“Let’s refine today’s Blood Burning Pill first, so that we can leave plenty of time to do other things.”

Luo Chen sighed.

 He discovered another problem, the reason why Burning Blood Pill and Tongyou Pill wasted so much of his time.

The main reason is that I am not proficient enough to ask the medicine apprentice and pyrotechnics to help.

 It takes time to improve proficiency.

 “Time waits for us!”

 “Huh? Why did I say this?”

Luo Chen, who had just entered the alchemy room and was preparing to make alchemy, was inexplicably stunned for a moment.
