Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 200: Ghosts and generals fighting, Xiti Xiaohei

 Silence.

 For a moment, everyone was silent.

yes!

　　Although it talks about helping each other, if we don't set up a leader, if we really encounter problems, there is no guarantee that someone will not shrink from moving forward.

 At this time, a leader is definitely needed to give orders.

 However, the leader has more or less the power to mobilize the monks from each family.

 At that time, if there is a battle, people can be deployed as vanguards.

 In this way, wouldn’t it be possible to preserve one’s own strength?

Li Yixian and Nangong Jin looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

They are a family of cultivators, with the smallest number of cultivators, and they also have many mortal descendants.

 Someone really wants them to die...

"Hahaha!"

 Hearty laughter suddenly sounded.

Facing the surprised looks of the three people, Luo Chen naturally raised his hands and said: "Gang leader Wang has the third level of foundation building cultivation. He is only one step away from the middle stage of foundation building. He is the strongest among us."

“The Dajiang Gang under my command is even more powerful in numbers, stretching across the north and south.”

“If we want to go far on this trip, we will definitely have to rely more on the transportation capabilities of the Dajiang Gang.”

 “In my opinion, let Gang Leader Wang be the leader!”

 After finishing speaking.

 He even ignored Nangong and Li's astonishment.

 “Two fellow Taoists, what do you say?”

Nangong Jin's heart was stirred up. He originally thought that Luo Chen would fight for this dominant position with all his strength.

  After all, among the four major forces, in terms of the number of foundation building masters, Luo Tianhui is definitely the one coming from behind.

 There is Luo Chen, Wang Yuan, and a second-level explosive ape.

 Unexpectedly, Luo Chen would give up the position of "leader" so easily.

Li Yixian looked at Luo Chen's calm and composed expression. After being astonished, she, being smart as ice and snow, began to think about the deeper meaning.

 She looked at Wang Haichao again with the corners of her mouth raised slightly, thinking deeply in her heart.

"This Luo Chen has a good grasp of Wang Haichao's mentality."

 After figuring out the key, she no longer hesitated.

  Echoing Luo Chen’s words.

“Dan Chenzi is right, we monks are respected for their strength. Gang leader Wang is indeed worthy of the position of leader.”

Nangong Jin frowned.

 Having no better choice, he could not refute the two of them at this moment.

He had no choice but to follow up and say: "One thing to say, one thing to say, it's true."

Luo Chen glanced at him in surprise, which made Nangong Jin puzzled.

 Are you blaming me for not supporting him?

 Actually, Luo Chen just felt that he missed adding the words "pure passerby".

 After all three people reach a consensus.

 His eyes all fell on Wang Haichao.

 He smiled and clasped his hands.

 “Thanks to everyone for looking up to me.”

“In that case, let Wang be the leader for the time being!”

"No, since it is an alliance, it should be called the leader."

 The three of them all nodded without hesitation.

 After deciding on this matter, the topic returned to the original matter.

 Where to go!

“Since I was the one who started it, let me share my thoughts!”

Luo Chen is not afraid of the stage, "I have discussed it with the monks in the guild before. The place suitable for me and others to station and practice is definitely not a deep mountain and swamp. In such a place, there is no golden elixir level cultivation, and it is impossible to sit down." "

A few people nodded in agreement.

All foundation-building forces, whether they are down-and-out sects or small cultivating families, mostly rely on large sects and large markets to survive.

 They can’t occupy this good place!

 It’s a bad place, they can’t keep their own people.

Only the Zongmenfang City, which is neither good nor bad, can allow them to obtain resources for survival and practice in the cracks.

 There can only be transactions if there are people.

Practice alone is just behind closed doors, which is far less effective than gathering in a group.

“So, where I’m going, there aren’t actually many options to choose from.”

“Xuelianfang, Taishanfang, Liuguangfang and...Tianlan Fairy City.”

 After finishing speaking, he shut up.

 Leaved the topic to the three of them.

After all, he was a monk who had been around for many years. The three of them quickly gave various opinions.

“Xuelianfang is my hometown. The Nangong family moved from there.”

Nangong Jin shook his head, "But that place is not suitable for development."

“In the early years, there were frequent attacks by snow beasts. My Nangong family was close to the Snowy Mountains. I had no choice but to make the decision to move.”

“Although in the past few years, Xuelianfang has been strangely quiet for a while.”

“But in the past two years, I have heard that frost wolves have frequently attacked Fang City.”

“In addition, Xuelianfang is under the direct jurisdiction of Jindan Sect Ice Castle. In the past, we must have been controlled by others.”

 The first one excludes Xuelianfang, which is closest to Dahefang.

 This is to be expected.

 Having been accustomed to the normal four-season climate of Dahefang, a place like Xuelianfang is indeed not suitable for families to breed heirs.

 “Where is Liuguangfang?” Luo Chen asked curiously.

Nangong Jin shook his head, "I don't know much about this."

 “Let me speak in person!”

Li Yixian took over, "That place is really too barren. In the early years, it was a mining place for the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. After the mining ended, it was abandoned."

“In the early years, Liuguangfang’s foundry and ore business was in full swing. Because of these businesses, the Bai family of Liuguangfang even had a fight with our Dahefang Duan family.”

“But now, the Bai family is gradually declining, and it is very likely that they will move away.”

 Luo Chen was thoughtful.

 In this way, Liuguangfang has also been excluded from the selection.

Wang Haichao smiled casually, "Why don't we go to Taishanfang City!"

“What’s your opinion, leader?” Luo Chen asked with a smile.

Wang Haichao talked eloquently, "Taishanfang sits on the land of three mountains. Although the spiritual veins are scattered, it is suitable for us to live."

“In addition, I have some friendship with several foundation-building forces over there.”

 “Let’s talk about it then, maybe we can take root.”

Li Yixian said curiously: "I remember that the ancestor of the Huo family in Taishanfang was as high as the sixth level of foundation building, and he was narrow-minded. In the entire Taishanfang City, his personal strength was respected. If we go, we will suddenly become the four major foundation building. Can he accommodate us?"

The Chichanshan Huo family in Taishanfang is also a foundation-building family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

He also has a good relationship with Yanmeng, the Jindan sect, and monks from the family join Yanmeng all the year round.

  It can be said that he is very strong and has a very profound background.

Huo Quan, the patriarch of the family, entered the middle stage of foundation building a long time ago and is very protective of his shortcomings.

 Under his protection, the Huo family has been growing steadily in recent years, and has impacted the Kang family in Taishan, and is vaguely known as the number one immortal cultivating family in Taishanfang.

Facing Li Yixian’s curiosity, Wang Haichao’s expression froze.

 After a long while, he hesitated and said: "Our four major foundations have come forward, he should give us this face, right?"

 After working on it for a long time, he was not sure!

Luo Chen twitched his lips and said, "We'll see when the time comes. Taishanfang will be our first choice!"

Everyone nodded, and at least they had a direction.

 As for the Tianlan Fairy City proposed by Luo Chen, no one discussed it.

 The distance is really too far.

 If you are traveling alone, you may be able to get there quickly.

 But if you are bringing a family with you, it will take at least several months.

 How many months?

 It may seem like a short time, but the journey is long and dangerous.

 When the Fu family moved here, it was a difficult journey.

Had it not been for excessive losses on the road, Luo Tianhui would not have been easily destroyed by Luo Chen's leadership.

 Next, the four people discussed many things.

when are we leaving?

How to go?

 How to deal with some of the things left behind?

If you encounter danger on the road, how can each family help?

 When you arrive in a new place, under what name do you get together, etc.

This preliminary alliance meeting became extremely lengthy and even became trivial later on.

If you hadn’t known that the four of them were accomplished foundation-building cultivators.



It was not until late at night that Wang, Li and Nangong dispersed.

 After they left, Luo Chen sat in the temple, rubbing his forehead.

"come in!"

Sima Huiniang walked in softly after saying something casually.

“President, is everything settled?”

"Well. During this period, all major forces should be desperate to collect the resources they can take away. Send someone to control the Luo Tianhui monks and try not to conflict with them."

 “I know this.”

Sima Huiniang nodded, and then asked curiously: "Why, president, don't you compete for the position of alliance leader?"

 Luo Chen sneered.

 “Leader?”

 “It’s so easy to be a good person!”

 …

 Faced with Sima Huiniang’s doubts.

 Luo Chen was not stingy in answering her questions.

  She is the president of Luo Tianhui, and she personally executes decisions on all matters, large and small.

 Many things, seemingly small, actually have far-reaching impacts.

 But in the world of immortality, many decisions cannot only be based on the present, but must be made with a long-term perspective.

And monks are limited by their realm, and many things are really blinding them. I don’t know why.

 Luo Chen suffered a lot from his lack of knowledge when he was in the Qi refining stage.

 He did not want Sima Huiniang to suffer similar losses.

 Otherwise, it will not only harm Sima Huiniang’s interests, but also her own interests.

 With the help of her own eyesight, Sima Huiniang can see further!

 “The alliance leader is not that easy to be.”

Luo Chen's eyes were far away, as if across time and space, he saw the situation after the four major forces set off soon.

 “There will be wind and rain along the way, and there will be frequent twists and turns.”

“As the leader of the alliance, the alliance leader must work hard.”

“Wherever there are people, there will be entanglements of interests. With so many of us going to a strange place, how many people’s interests do you think will be harmed?”

“Don’t think that an alliance of four companies can be invincible.”

“People in a region have more entangled interests than we imagined.”

"Just like Mi Shuhua back then, he seemed to be building a foundation alone, but in fact, who knew that there was Miao Wen behind him? Who knew that he and Duan Qiankun were also friends for many years? Would we know that he Are there any other allies?"

"Why do you think the Dajiang Gang, the Lianyun Merchant Alliance, and the five major foundation-building families are attacking at the same time? Or are you afraid that if you beat the snake, you will not die, but will be harmed instead?"

I saw Sima Huiniang looking like she had some enlightenment.

Luo Chen’s eyes showed admiration and continued:

"in this case."

“The leader with the highest status will inevitably be the number one enemy of those whose local interests are harmed. The dangers he faces are a hundred times greater than those of us!”

　　"This is the principle of killing the leading bird with a gun and killing the local leader with a sword."

Sima Huiniang suddenly realized.

 But then, she asked in confusion: "If that's the case, why did Wang Haichao agree?"

 “Didn’t he think of it?”

Luo Chen chuckled, "How could such an old fox not think of such a simple truth?"

  “Why is that?”

"It's very simple, this is a conspiracy, he must agree. Even, he actively fought for the alliance leader status!"

 Faced with Sima Huiniang’s confusion.

Luo Chen chuckled and said, "Unlike the Li family and the Nangong family, he is connected by blood and can take everyone away."

“The cohesion of the Dajiang Gang is not as good as our Luo Tianhui.”

"Yes! Their Dajiang Gang has also experienced many ups and downs, but most of them have outside forces involved, and a lot of the benefits they have gained have been shared."

 “Many of the people under my command are dissatisfied.”

“And this person may seem elegant and easy-going, but in fact he is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate strong men under his command.”

"If we look at it from the back to the front, then Duandao Xu Renke must have taken refuge in him a long time ago. As a result, on the Taoist platform, Duandao also let Duandao destroy Gao Tingyuan's puppet, destroyed his Dantian, and made him unable to build a foundation for the rest of his life. ”

 “This kind of thing cannot be hidden from others.”

 Speaking of which.

 Luo Chen paused.

He looked at Sima Huiniang and sighed: "If I want to leave, you guys will follow me. Why?"

Sima Huiniang said without thinking: "Because President, you have never treated us badly. With you, everyone will have a bright future!"

  Receiving such sincere praise, Luo Chen was not humble at all.

 He nodded and asked again: "Then the place has changed and Wang Haichao is about to leave, will you follow him wholeheartedly?"

"Well…"

 “When you hesitate, it means you already have the answer.”

Luo Chen smiled slightly and drank the cooled cup of spiritual tea in one gulp.

“His Wang Haichao has no blood to sustain him, no interests to impress people, and no prestige to convince the public.”

 “If you want to leave with enough people, why?”

"Just because of the name of a true cultivator of foundation building? Haha, this thing is really not that valuable. Casual cultivators think very simply. At worst, they can just leave and join another force to continue cultivating." Sima Huiniang was like an enlightenment. .

Through Luo Chen’s guidance, I instantly remembered the key points.

“So, he needs the title of Alliance Leader!”

Sima Huiniang affirmed: "Only the status of the leader of the four alliances can temporarily suppress the thoughts of many casual cultivators."

"Furthermore, this will also eliminate the possibility of those casual cultivators seeking refuge with us."

 “President, that’s it!”

 Luo Chen nodded in approval.

 That's what it's like for casual cultivators who don't have a sect to rely on.

 Even if you are a true cultivator of foundation building, your life will not be any easier.

Wang Haichao relies on the Dajiang Gang. Even if he cannot afford to buy good things such as magic weapons in a short period of time, at least he will not be short of resources for cultivation.

 If there is no Dajiang Gang, let him drive it.

 He has no skills, so where can he earn spiritual stones?



Do not make jokes.

 In the current world of immortal cultivation in the Eastern Wasteland, the general price for offerings during the foundation-building period is only two to three thousand spiritual stones per month.

 After deducting the monthly training requirements, how many spiritual stones are left?

You said that you should live frugally for a few years, stop practicing, and save money to buy magic weapons. Isn't this because you are choking and giving up food?

If the elixir is not formed and longevity is reached, the treasure in hand will not have the chance to become a relic for future generations to explore.

 Furthermore, there are not many families that can offer this price.

He, Luo Chen, is rich and powerful!

Moreover, it was because Wang Yuan was his brother that he was given such treatment generously.

Wang Haichao cannot do without the help of Dajiang Gang.

 Where is Ta Luochen?

 But it does not have to be Luo Tianhui.

 In another place, with the reputation of an alchemist, he could make a comeback.

 The reason why I decided to bring Luo Tianhui with me was that he had many friends here.

 Secondly, everyone trusts him.

Three, it’s the people from Dantang who are really good at using it.

 And if you want to go out.

 With a large number of manpower guards, safety can be adequately guaranteed.

“It would be best if we could take root in Taishanfang.”

“It’s far enough away from Dahefang that the Ghost King’s crisis won’t be a threat for the time being, and it’s not that unfamiliar there either.”

 “If it’s not possible…”

 Luo Chen's eyes were dark and he had already started to make backup plans.

 He has never been a person who puts all his eggs in one basket.

 Even though he was under Mi Shuhua's control, he was still ready to run away at any time.

 Just didn’t expect it.

 I wanted to run many times before, but failed due to various reasons.

 This time, he took the initiative to leave.

 “Go down and do your work!”

"The departure time is set in two months, and all the loose ends must be taken care of!"

Sima Huiniang bowed.

 “Follow the president’s order!”

 …

  One month later.

  Late at night.

In the green thatched house, Bai Meiling shivered and hid in the corner, not daring to take a step closer to Luo Chen.

 What she is afraid of is not Luo Chen.

It was the flag in Luo Chen's hand with the flag spread out.

 Soul Refining Flag!

 Luo Chen looked at the unfolded banners with a puzzled expression.

Just this evening, while refining the elixir, something happened to the soul refining flag.

 A chaotic atmosphere spread out from inside without concealment.

 Even almost caused him to fail in making alchemy.

He hurried back and opened it, only to find that the dozens of ghost soldiers he had captured inside the Soul Refining Banner had all disappeared.

 There were only two figures left in the entire banner.

 One is Duan Qiankun and the other is Luo Tianhong.

 The two figures swallowed up the dozens of ghost soldiers, and their bodies became much more solid than before.

 The commotion in the evening was caused by the battle between the two.

“I only knew that there was no room for two tigers in one mountain, but I didn’t expect that even a mere magical weapon could not contain two ghost generals.”

Duan Qiankun's remnant soul was extracted from Wang Yuan's body by Luo Chen when he returned to Xiaohuan Mountain.

At that time, I put it inside the Soul Refining Banner and didn't care much about it.

 I didn’t expect that it would develop to such an extent in the past two months.

 Looking at the ghostly ghosts, the two ghosts were constantly fighting.

Luo Chen sighed, and by this time, he had already reacted.

“After all, the level of this Soul Refining Flag is too low. It can accommodate a second-level ghost, which is already the limit.”

 “The two ends will devour each other instead.”

 This is the flaw of the Soul Refining Banner.

 At the magic weapon level, it can accommodate up to a hundred souls, and only one second-level ghost can exist.

Only those that reach the magic weapon level can accommodate thousands of souls, ten thousand souls, or even millions and millions of souls.

In that case, let alone second-order ghosts, even third-order ghost kings can accommodate several of them.

By then, the inner space of the Soul Refining Banner will become a ghost world in itself!

 “Forget it, let you fight!”

 “Come out separately so that I won’t be distracted by the control.”

 Under Luo Chen’s gaze.

 The battle inside the Soul Refining Banner is becoming more and more intense.

Luo Tianhong lost the Lanke chess piece and was severely injured by Luo Chen, and his strength plummeted.

  But because he was born from ghosts, he has a profound foundation and can withstand hardships.

Duan Qiankun's soul has aged and has long since lost its vitality. His soul was stolen by Wang Yuan, leaving him with nothing but resentment.

 It can be used as a restraining method, even if it is only a soul attribute, it can also be used instinctively.

 The two are fighting each other, but they are evenly matched.

 But, there will be an end eventually!

 Luo Tianhong won!

 This is the natural outcome.

Duan Qiankun was already at the end of his life, and his soul was old and decayed.

 The remnant soul he has become only hates those who destroyed his Duan family.

 But Luo Tianhong died on the road when he was young and strong.

 Adhering to an obsession, he was born among the ghosts.

 He is a ghost of obsession. He may not be as vicious as a fierce ghost, but his survival instinct is much higher than that of an ordinary ghost general.

 After such a long battle, Duan Qiankun could only be defeated.

In that banner, the victorious Luo Tianhong followed his instinct and crazily devoured the remaining souls of the loser.

 In a short while, it will all be swallowed up.

 And his originally illusory body became more solid.

Moreover, the Yin Qi armor slowly attached itself to his side, wrapping the ghost body.

Luo Chen had a thought in his mind.

 This ghost general appeared in the hut.

It subconsciously left the fire spring and moved closer to the ice spring.

Standing in front of Luo Chen, it roared in a low voice and tried to get closer, but was subconsciously afraid and held back.

Such a contradictory scene made Bai Meiling, who was shivering in the corner, laugh out loud.

Luo Chen shook his head and immediately fired a soul-destroying technique.

The powerful divine soul foundation, coupled with the identity of the master of the soul refining flag, made him kneel down beside him.

“It’s not appropriate to call you Luo Tianhong anymore. Even if I disrespect you during your lifetime, it’s easy to get into trouble.”

 “From now on, I’ll call you...Xiao Hei!”

Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, and then he lay down on the ground more respectfully.

  The soul-destroying technique is not so easy to bear against ghosts without a body to cover them.

 After giving a name.

Luo Chen checked Xiao Hei's status.

After devouring more than a dozen ghost soldiers one after another, plus the remaining soul of Duan Qiankun, a foundation-building cultivator.

 Its condition has been restored to its peak.

 Even, a little more intelligent.

 In terms of combat power, it is already a genuine second-level combat power.

 “Xiao Hong ran away, and Xiao Hei came again.”

"Hey…"

 Luo Chen chuckled and put Xiao Hei into the soul refining flag.

 He turned around and looked at Bai Meiling seriously.

“How are you doing with your soul-refining skills?”

 “Getting started?”

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "This is a good thing, come with me!"

Bai Meiling got into the ghost mill ignorantly, and was taken away from Xiaohuan Mountain by Luo Chen directly at night.

At the end of the moon, Luo Chen's footsteps fell outside the gate of the inner city.

 He glanced cautiously in the direction of Luofeng Mountain, and then stepped forward.

As soon as I entered the door.

Then he noticed three ghosts wandering nearby.

As soon as Luo Chen's spiritual consciousness moved, he activated the Soul Deterrence Technique and immediately activated the ingestion effect.

 The three ghosts were brought to him as if they were being caught.

　　咚!

 The ghost mill fell.

 Three ghosts were thrown directly onto the millstone.

Looking at the dumbfounded Bai Meiling, Luo Chen pursed his lips.

 “Push!”

Bai Meiling was stunned and subconsciously pushed Guimo.

 Under its impetus, the three weak ghosts were quickly crushed into pure ghost power with whimpering sounds.

 Looking at these extremely pure ghost powers.

 Luo Chen’s soul was emitting waves of desire, and it seemed that he couldn’t help but want to devour it.

 Swallowing, Luo Chen forced himself to hold back this feeling.

 After being crushed by the ghost mill, the power of the ghost above has already carried Bai Meiling's will.

 Because, this is Bai Meiling’s companion magic weapon.

 “Use the soul-refining power to devour it all!”

Bai Meiling babbling for a while, then she opened her mouth and sucked in the pure power of the ghost into her body.

 Under the operation of the true soul refining skill, it was completely integrated with her body.

 Looking at this scene, Luo Chen's hunger from his soul completely dissipated.

"Sucking like this is much better than Xiao Hei's brutal devouring. At least you can stay sane."

 After Xiao Hei devoured the remaining soul, he became even more vicious.

 Bai Meiling is different.

 The expressions on his face became lively.

 Just do this a few more times.

 Sooner or later she will be able to regain her memories of her life.

 At that time, Luo Chen will also let her meet Feng Xia and others.

 Forget it now!

 When both sides meet, it will only increase the sorrow.

 “That’s it for today.”

Look at Bai Meiling patting her belly and looking full.

Luo Chen shook his head and chuckled.

 Leaving the ghost town, I wandered through the increasingly bleak streets of the outer city.

 Luo Chen began to think about how to continue to increase his spiritual foundation.

At present, he does not dare to take Tongyou Pill anymore.

 It's not that the first-level Tongyou Pill has no effect on him at all.

 But he is afraid!

He was afraid that when he broke through the foundation, the erysipelas barrier would appear on his soul.

“After the golden elixir, spiritual consciousness evolved into divine consciousness. At that time, Qi Refiners began to gradually turn to refining God and Qi in parallel.”

“I heard that the Nascent Soul is transformed into an infant, giving it a second life.”

 “The soul is so important, there must be no mistake!”

 As long as the erysipelas has not been cured, Tongyou Dan cannot be taken for the time being.

In this case, you have to think of other ways to increase your spiritual foundation.

 Luo Chen is well aware of the benefits of a strong soul.

His ability to attack the foundation building stage five times in a row depends not only on his strong body, but also on his soul that can freely control the spiritual power in his body!

 Be it someone else?

 Already when he failed for the first time, he was bruised and bruised by the out-of-control spiritual power.

 When the golden elixir is broken through in the future, whether the soul is strong or not will only become more important!

“The Ming Shen is still in the perfect stage of destroying the evil spirit. Maybe we can consider using the evil spirit to practice?”

 “Evil spirit…”

Looking at the mountains of Xiaohuan Mountain, Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

It’s the 31st. Do you still have tickets? Xiaoyu wants it.
