Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 203 The river is stained with blood, falling like rain (please vote for me)

“Only when the body is healed will the state of body refining be complete.”

“If you want to advance to the second level, you need to get the Diamond to White Jade.”

“According to Wang Yuan, all the bones and skin in the body are transformed, reaching the level of golden muscles and jade bones. At this time, the fine gold becomes the muscles and the spiritual jade becomes the bones. The physical body is pure and flawless, and it is directly reborn.”

“In this way, we can achieve the second level of body refining.”

 Three days after the fleet left Dahefang.

 Luo Chen lives in a quiet room.

 According to the usual practice, after practicing the "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" twice, he starts to study other things.

Contrary to what ordinary monks think, he is idle every day.

 Actually, he is busy.

 Practice "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" every day.

 Introduction of evil spirits into the body, tempering the foundation of the soul.

 Use your spiritual consciousness to kill Duan Qiankun’s spiritual consciousness restriction and try to open the storage bag as soon as possible.

 Only when you have free time, do you have time to read other books.

 Now, he is reading the "Wang's Secret Book" that Wang Yuan gave him.

It's a very cliché name, but the content inside really opened Luo Chen's eyes beyond the cultivation of immortality.

It turns out that there are so many ways to cultivate the body.

“It’s actually not difficult to break through the first level of body refining, just rely on pills.”

“Wang Yuan originally used gold and jade liquid to continuously temper his skin and bones.”

"This medicine does not enter the Dantian or the sea of ​​qi, so there is no need to worry about erysipelas being left behind."

 Luo Chen is not interested in body training.

He has already figured it out. He is not qualified and must focus on the way to refine Qi.

What he was interested in was the incomplete set of exercises that he and Wang Yuan had bought together—

 《Tianpeng Change》

 Wang Yuan did not like this method.

 He just intercepted the advantages and integrated them into his own physical cultivation path.

 But Luo Chen was very interested.

 When building your own foundation, use the Fire Cloud Peng to refine the Emperor's Ooze.

 The Peng bird essence and blood contained in it is not as simple as one drop or two.

If you want to use this to practice "Tianpeng Transformation", you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!

However, this exercise is a third-level body-training exercise, which is of extremely high grade.

If you want the system to help you get started across levels, you have to spend too many achievement points.

 Moreover, it is still a incomplete version.

Luo Chen asked himself that apart from the alchemy path, he had accumulated too little for body refining, and it was impossible to complete it.

 What he is doing now is to lay a good foundation.

If you have the opportunity to practice in the future, you won’t have to hold on to the Buddha’s feet until the last moment.

 The cultivation of "Tianpeng Transformation" has strict requirements.

 That means you must have a physique that is at least the second level of body refining.

Luo Chen has now reached the state of body refining.

 The distance between the two realms is just one step away.

 “Golden jade liquid?”

“This medicine is a specialty of Jinshi Pavilion in Taishanfang. If you go there, you can buy more.”

 Golden Stone Pavilion!

 Luo Chen is very familiar.

The master of the pavilion, Kang Dongyue, is a genuine foundation-building practitioner.

 When he first came to Dahefang to attend the opening ceremony of Lundaotai, he had a chance encounter with him.

Later, he asked Shopkeeper Liu to bring him a message, saying that he wanted to sell Zhongmiao Pills as an agent.

  Unfortunately, at that time, he was already the alchemist of the Poshan Gang and did not reach a cooperative relationship.

 This time I went to Taishanfang.

 In addition to purchasing gold jade liquid.

 Perhaps we can also sell a backlog of high-quality chalcedony pills through them.

 “Lack of money!”

Luo Chen sighed with emotion.

 When you go to other places, there will definitely be a lot of places where you can spend spiritual stones.

This can be seen from the fact that Wang Haichao has lost all face and still relies on boat tickets to make a fortune.

　　Not only the two of them, but also the Li family and the Nangong family may have started to use their savings.

Just when Luo Chen was sighing.

 Suddenly he frowned.

 …

"ah!"

 “What kind of monster is this?”

“This is the first-level demon beast Silver Barracuda. ​​It is shaped like an arrow and specializes in breaking through spiritual power shields. It often appears in groups.”

 “Quick, start the formation!”

"A silver barracuda has flown in. Sima Xian and his people must deal with it quickly. Don't let that thing hurt anyone."

Luo Chen walked out of the quiet room and his eyes fell on Sima Huiniang who was giving orders.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, he nodded secretly.

Over the years, the other party has become more and more familiar with the role of president, and he has a methodical approach to handling matters big and small.

With her here, I really save a lot of effort.

 Subsequently, Luo Chen looked at the "enemies" around him.

 It is more like a fish than a human being.

 Fish each as big as a palm shot out from the surging river like arrows.

 The silvery scales sparkle under the sunlight.

Sharp fangs, just rush to the monk's side.

Even if the defensive shield is activated, it cannot withstand a few bites from one or two fish.

And now, there are more than one or two silver barracudas to face!

 As far as the eye can see.

Beside Luo Tianhui's big boat, there were thousands of small silver-white fish, flying and leaping constantly.

But these are not the climate.

 There were a large array of guards on the ship, plus a group of masters from the war hall who were constantly killing them.

　　Except for a few unlucky ones who were bitten at the beginning, the Luo Tianhui monks suffered almost no losses.

 However, other places are miserable.

Luo Chen looked far away, supplemented by spiritual observation.

 I saw only a dozen large ships, all shrouded in dense silvery white light.

 Especially the big ship at the front, it was already difficult to move at this moment.

 The monks' screams have begun to erupt frequently.

 And this is not the worst!

The large number of casual cultivators who were reluctant to buy ferry tickets had been flying on both sides, or following behind on homemade bamboo rafts.

At this moment, tens of thousands of silver barracudas attacked at the same time.

 The casual cultivators on both sides, those with a lower level, were broken through the defensive light barrier in just an instant and were dragged into the river.

 Some powerful casual cultivators took advantage of others being besieged and flew to both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

 After landing, he looked at this scene in horror.

 Monk, falling like rain.

 In the river, flowers of blood are churning.

Those who ride on homemade bamboo rafts and boats are even worse!

 At the first moment, I was surrounded by overwhelming silver barracudas, and I didn’t even have a chance to fly out.

 “Where did such a huge school of silver barracuda come from?”

 It’s Nangong Jin’s voice.

Luo Chen raised his brows and concentrated his spiritual consciousness on the big ship in the center.

 A dialogue between the foundation-building cultivators began.

“As far as I know, there aren’t such a large group of silver barracudas in the Lancang River, right?” It was still Nangong Jin.

　Faced with his anxious questioning.

Wang Haichao said calmly: "Normally, there is no such thing. But this time, there are tens of thousands of monks traveling with us."

“No monster can withstand so many blood foods, especially blood foods with spiritual energy.”

 When can human monks be measured by blood food with spiritual energy?

 Luo Chen was slightly silent.

Nangong Jin said anxiously: "The number of monks in our Nangong family is quite small. If this continues, we will not be able to protect those mortals. I am going to take action!"

“Fellow Taoist can take action, but absolutely do not use means that exceed the level of Qi Refining Realm.”

"Um?"

 The voice of doubt comes from Li Yixian.

Wang Haichao said coldly: "Such a huge group of silver barracudas must have a second-level silver barracuda king. This place is in the middle of the river. If it gets angry, it may not be able to fight us, but it will be more than enough to defeat these large magical ships. ”

"On the contrary, if the four of us don't take action in a big way, it will naturally be afraid of one or two."

 The truth is indeed such a truth.

However…

Looking around, the countless casual cultivators falling like rain into the Lancang River, even the foundation-building cultivators with a heart as strong as steel, felt quite unbearable.

Li Yixian said in a solemn voice: "Aren't you going to save those casual cultivators?"

 “Why save?” Wang Haichao asked immediately.

Without waiting for Li Yixian to answer, he sneered: "These casual cultivators are just used to feed the fish. Moreover, there are too many of them, and they are emitting spiritual energy fluctuations without concealment. Sooner or later, they will attract third-level monsters." ”

“At that time, Fellow Daoist Li, will you resist the power of the Beast King?”

Li Yixian was silent.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, Wang Haichao was so cruel.

The so-called four people did not take action to scare the second-order Silver Barracuda King is just an excuse.

 He mainly wants to lighten these burdens!

“I think none of you are that kind of person!”

 The sound of the sea tide gradually became fainter.

Li Yixian smiled bitterly and said no more.

Luo Chen blinked and withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

 He is naturally not a very kind person.

These casual cultivators went along without paying their boat tickets, so they naturally had to bear the corresponding risks.

For the safety of the subsequent journey, it is also necessary to reduce the risks caused by the fluctuations in spiritual power of casual cultivators.

Luo Chen was unable to protect those casual cultivators.

 It is enough to be able to protect the people on your own ship.

With the three major foundations not taking action, Nangong Jin could only protect his crew.

  The siege of the silver barracuda schools lasted for a long time.

 This section of the river was completely stained red with blood.

 Both sides of the shore.

 The surviving casual cultivators looked with horror in their eyes and were filled with fear.

 It was not until the fleet sailed out of this section of the river with difficulty that it came to an end.

Luo Chen looked back at the **** river and remained silent.

Thousands of fish are flying, and corpses are tumbling.

 Under the waves of flowers, this journey is dyed with a strong blood color.

“If I hadn’t succeeded in building the foundation, and had fled into the mountains and swamps during my initial Qi refining period, would I have ended up like this?”

 Ask yourself, Luo Chen is not sure. All the methods used during the Qi refining period seemed extremely ridiculous at the moment.

 Lancang River is a relatively safe river.

 There are monks there all year round.

As for the Xiaoyue Mountains, they are truly inaccessible.

In peripheral areas such as Changyin Mountain, second-level demon wolves can be found everywhere.

If he had run away with the idea of ​​crossing the mountains, he would have died even more miserably than these casual cultivators today.

　While Luo Chen was reflecting, he suddenly felt something in his heart.

 He turned around and saw the female cultivator Li Yixian on the big boat in front of him, facing the **** wind, looking at him silently.

Facing Luo Chen’s look back, she nodded.

 Luo Chen nodded slightly.

The two did not communicate, they just looked at each other and reached a certain tacit understanding.

Wang Haichao, it’s unbelievable!

 If he can sacrifice these casual cultivators today, he may not abandon his allies in the future.

 The so-called alliance of four companies is just lip service.

 They did not form an oath of alliance!

 Compared with the weak Nangong family, Luo Tianhui and the Li family, whose strength is intact, undoubtedly have the prerequisite to advance and retreat together.

Li Yixian believed that Luo Chen would give her this face.

 In the cabin.

 Li Ao respectfully welcomed Li Yixian in.

“Aunt, what did Senior Dan Chenzi say?”

Li Yixian used a sound insulation technique to surround the cabin.

She whispered: "He didn't say anything, but he understood what I meant."

Li Ao said anxiously: "It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing for him to be willing to advance and retreat with our Li family. Aunt, you..."

 “Xiao Ao, you can’t do this.”

"Well…"

Li Yixian looked at him with pity, "You are too impatient. How can you lead the Li family to prosperity?"

Li Ao didn't understand what he meant, and felt that all his thoughts were for his family.

 Is this considered impatient?

 Seeing him looking conceited, Li Yixian sighed.

Obviously he is not young anymore, but Li Ao's character is always unable to calm down.

Among the younger generation, not to mention Luo Chen, who is now on equal footing with him, he can't even compare to Nangong Qin.

 The latter has experienced both good and bad times in recent years.

 After experiencing many setbacks, he has gradually gained the bearing of a head of the family.

 She saw it clearly just now.

Nangong Jin said he was anxious, but in fact the Nangong family was not panicked.

 Under the leadership of his son Nangong Qin, he dealt with the silver barracuda in an orderly manner.

On the contrary, the powerful Li family suffered many losses under the leadership of Li Ao.

 He was so excited that he almost wanted to go out on a boat to hunt down the silver barracuda.

If he hadn't stopped him in time, the Li family monks would probably have lost a few more.

I don’t know how Nangong Jin taught Nangong Qin?

Li Yixian shook his head and said softly: "Luo Chen is not a person with a cold nature, otherwise he wouldn't have gathered such a group of masters around him."

“He and I have no grudges in the past and have no grudges recently, and we have a very good basis for cooperation.”

“When he was building the foundation, I gave him the Yimu Medicine King Sutra that he longed for most, and I personally explained to him some of the misunderstandings about cultivation in it.”

“In this way, we don’t talk about reciprocating favors, but at least we can advance and retreat together, which is still possible.”

 “Xiao Ao, when dealing with others, you should not just deal with interests, but also put people first.”

  “Do you understand?”

Li Ao suddenly realized.

But he frowned and said, "But Luo Chen has secretly formed an alliance with us, so why not protect the interests of Luo Tianhui?"

Li Yixian was stunned and didn't know how to refute.

　　Can only wave the gauze sleeves.

 “Go down and appease the tribe, there is still a long way to go.”

"oh."

After Li Ao left, Li Yixian couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.

 She is a woman who only knows how to cultivate before she leaves the imperial court. How can she know how to raise children and teach others?

 All these years, I have just copied the cat and painted the tiger, giving Li Ao a few words of advice.

  But, he has developed an arrogant and conceited character.

“Sister, I really don’t know how to teach your son!”

“Training him to the foundation-building stage is the last thing I can do.”

 …

 Luo Tianhui was on board the ship.

Sima Huiniang, who was discussing with Murong Qinglian and Granny Yuan on how to deal with the wounded, suddenly changed her expression.

 “Sorry, the president is looking for me.”

Murong Qinglian glanced at the cabin above and nodded. "You go ahead and I'll take care of it."

Grandma Yuan coughed and said tremblingly: "Just leave those wounded to me."

Sima Huiniang thanked her, lifted up her skirt, and ran quickly into the upper cabin.

 Different from the crowded and messy lower cabin below, the cabin where Luo Chen lived was quite large and well-lit.

The scent of sandalwood lingers.

“President, what do you want from me?”

 On top of the collapse.

Luo Chen opened his eyes and looked at the delicate and capable female cultivator in a black gauze skirt.

 Under his gaze, Sima Huiniang was neither humble nor overbearing, patiently waiting for his orders.

“It’s nothing serious, it’s just that the rest of the journey will allow Duan Feng to get closer to the Li family’s ship when he’s driving it.”

Sima Huiniang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do we have any cooperation?"

clever!

　One point will reveal it!

Luo Chen smiled faintly and said, "There is such an intention, but neither party has revealed it."

Sima Huiniang nodded, indicating that she understood and would do what she was told.

However, she was curious for a moment: "Why not cooperate with the Nangong family who have a better relationship with us?"

“Nangong Jin is this person…”

Luo Chen said the name softly.

After a moment, he said slowly: "This person attaches too much importance to interests. He cannot be trusted without making an oath of alliance!"

Sima Huiniang was startled, then nodded sharply.

"indeed so!"

 She is not one of those little monks below who knows nothing.

 Luo Tianhui involves major events related to the foundation building period, and Luo Chen has consciously let her know about them.

Nangong Jin has always attached great importance to interests.

At first, he was afraid of offending Miao Wen and refused to cooperate with Luo Cheng. Later, he learned that Luo Chen had certain strength and immediately cooperated with him.

For a magic weapon, he dared to abandon his former allies and deal with Duan Qiankun himself.

　　When Luo Chen is in seclusion.

When Luo Tianhui couldn't supply chalcedony pills, he almost broke his skin and went up the mountain to disturb Luo Chen's foundation-building period.

It can be said that to cooperate with this person, there must be enough interests to involve him.

 Otherwise, he is too capricious.

 It’s the Li family’s side…

“Li Yixian’s mind is relatively simple, he just wants to preserve the Li family and protect himself.”

 “As long as her bottom line is not touched, she will be a good friend.”

 Listening to Luo Chen's words, Sima Huiniang was thoughtful.

Recalling some of the foundation-building experience that Li Yixian deliberately shared at the foundation building ceremony, it was clearly a favor in addition to cooperation with Luo Chen.

 This woman is indeed a generous mistress.

　　"President, this is just looking at others and serving dishes!"

With this thought flashing through her mind, Sima Huiniang no longer had any doubts.

"I understand, I will give instructions on this matter. Only the masters of the seven halls know about it."

 “Well, go ahead!”

Sima Huiniang bowed and left the cabin neatly.

 Looking at her back, Luo Chen was very satisfied.

The last sentence "only known by the seven hall masters" was not his order.

 But Sima Huiniang was able to react quickly.

This woman has indeed grown up a lot in these years, and she has the air of a general.

 There is less of the narrow-mindedness of being a single gang, and more of a way of looking at things from the perspective of the entire gang.

“If she were at a higher level, she would be able to help me in more ways.”

“Looking at the fluctuations of his spiritual power, it doesn’t take long to reach the perfection of Qi Refining.”

“Perhaps, I can prepare something or two for it in advance.”

 For this girl Sima Huiniang.

 Luo Chen’s attitude is very clear.

 Different from early friends such as Murong Qinglian, Gu Caiyi and Duan Feng.

  He very clearly positioned Sima Huiniang in the role of "subordinate".

 It does not involve any friendship, love, or subjective emotions.

 What he values ​​​​is this woman's ability.

 As long as the other party continues to work hard to create value for himself, Luo Chen is happy to give her generous rewards.

 Build the foundation!

 It is undoubtedly what the other party desires most.

 For Luo Chen now, it is actually not too difficult to help a qualified person build a foundation.

In other words, it is not difficult for most foundation-building monks to help a qualified person build a foundation.

Mi Shuhua was able to get the Foundation Establishment Pill at the beginning.

 The same is true for Wang Haichao and others.

Duan Qiankun was a bit more awesome and prepared two foundation-building pills for Duan Rui, plus an eight-hundred-year-old root of heaven and earth.

 The reason why they did not cultivate foundation-building monks was due to various reasons.

Mi Shuhua and Wang Haichao, one is hypocritical and the other is intolerable.

 Duan Qiankun felt a little sad.

 It’s not that he can’t do it, it’s that Duan Rui can’t do it.

 “I hope she won’t disappoint me when the time comes!”

Luo Chen sighed and turned his attention back to himself.

 In the absence of a method to eliminate poison, daily practice is extremely important.

  Thanks to the foundation building, the soul has skyrocketed, and the body has reached a state of perfection not long ago.

 The number of times he practices the Yimu Medicine King Sutra every day has also increased significantly.

 One hour at a time.

 You can practice five times a day.

 The efficiency is a bit low, even with the assistance of the small spirit gathering array.

 There is no place for spiritual veins on the ship.

"If I can settle down, I must find a place with spiritual veins. The first-level ones are not good. My qualifications are too poor, so I must have a second-level spiritual place."

 “Otherwise, we really have to practice for a thousand or two thousand years.”
