Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 256 Difficulty and bitterness, frosty temples, endless ambition and golden elixir

According to ancient legend, this world is called Shanhai.

The mountains are endless, the rivers and seas are boundless, and countless monsters and monsters live among them.

 The powerful can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and move mountains and seas.

 Weak people feel uncomfortable playing in the mountains and forests.

Although there are human cultivators, they are only a few and barely surviving.

 However, since ancient times.

The human race is flourishing, people with golden elixirs and Yuanyings are emerging one after another, and there are even god-transforming monks who have overcome tribulations and ascended.

 Under this general trend, the territory of the human race continues to expand.

 After thousands of years, the boundary between mountains and seas was finally established in Zhongzhou, laying the foundation for the great cause of the human race!

 With Zhongzhou as the center, it is divided into four major regions: southeast, southeast and northwest.

 Eastern Wasteland, Southern Xinjiang, Western Desert, and Beihai.

 The five realms were initially determined, and the human race in the realm of mountains and seas was able to change its name to the first year of the mountain and sea calendar. It was named after mountains and seas.

 Since the first year.

 Time passes by, and the years fly by.

 Three thousand years have passed by in a flash.

 During these three thousand years, the human race in the mountains and seas realm, adhering to the concept of almighty power, continuously launched wars to expand the human race's territory.

From this, there are thirty-five territories in the Eastern Wilderness, one hundred and eighty-seven ridges in the Southern Border, and the boundless North Sea, which reaches all the way to the North Pole and the night sky.

 Four hundred years ago.

In the Hehuan Territory of the East Wasteland, a golden elixir sect gave birth to the real Yuanying. They felt that they could not grow in the Hehuan Territory, so they applied for a development war.

 This sect is called the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

Under the auspices of the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land and with the support of the Hehuan Sect, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect quickly gained joint support from the Yaowang Sect, Shenfu Sect, Five Elements Sect, Tianfan City and other Nascent Soul sects.

 In this way, there are six great Nascent Soul Sects.

Not only that, there are also Jindan sects in the major sects who want to seek other development, and they have joined the Yuding Sword Sect's opening war.

Luoyun Sect, Haoran Sect, Minghuang Sword Sect, Ice Castle, Qingdan Valley... a total of ten golden elixir sects.

 With the addition of the six great sects, the mighty opening war four hundred years ago began.

 Target, Lianxia Mountains!

 This war was also called the Sixteen Sects' Conquest of Lianxia.

 The final result was naturally a success.

 The territory of the human race has changed from the thirty-five domains in the Eastern Wasteland to the thirty-six domains.

 The Jade Cauldron Territory, together with the other five territories, is known as the Six Far East Territories.

 However, success also comes at a price.

 Out of the ten major Jindan sects from various major regions, four major sects were almost completely wiped out.

 Ghost Valley is one of them.

If you really want to talk about it, Ghost Valley is among the top ten sects in terms of strength.

 The Supreme Elder is at the ninth level of the Golden Core, and is only one step away from condensing the powerful existence of the Nascent Soul.

The entire Valley of Ghosts and Gods is world-famous for its formations, and several of its clan-suppressing magic weapons are also famous.

 Monster Locking Tower, Lan Keqi, Wushuang Sword…

Among these magic weapons, there is also a magic weapon that is not well-known, but is envied by all the major Jindan sects.

 Ghosts and gods ask the mind mirror.

This treasure is not of high grade, only low grade.

It has no defensive ability and no offensive power. Even the formation that Guishen Valley is best at has no boosting effect at all.

 However, this treasure has a wonderful and extraordinary effect on the monks to condense the golden elixir.

 As to where the effect comes from, outsiders don’t know.

 Because with the destruction of Ghost Valley and the remaining members of the Immortal Cultivation Family attached themselves to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, this treasure seemed to have disappeared.

The sentence "Everyone recites the brilliant golden elixir without asking about the common people or ghosts and gods" has since become a swan song.

 But today.

There was a person who was trying to pick up the leaks. By some chance, he entered the state of mind where ghosts and gods asked questions.

 …

 Open your eyes.

 Luo Chen put down the bronze mirror in his hand with regret.

 “It’s a loss, it’s a loss this time!”

After his experiments, this incomplete bronze mirror magic weapon has no other use except for some psychedelic functions.

As for the psychedelic function, its power can only be used for monks in the lower Qi refining stage.

 Thirty thousand yuan!

 It just went to waste.

Luo Chen was heartbroken and decided not to pick up the leaks again.

 “While you have some time, refine a few more batches of elixirs and earn more spiritual stones!”

Although he usually refines elixirs for half a year, it is enough for Luo Tianhui to sell them for a year, and he earns enough spiritual stones.

 But who would dislike more spiritual stones?

Luo Chen immediately devoted himself to the great cause of alchemy.

 Six days later.

Luo Chen got away from his busy alchemy work and participated in the auction held in Tianlan Fairy City.

 This auction is extraordinary!

It is jointly organized by Qingdan Valley and Ice Castle, and the host is a golden elixir master from Ice Castle!

 Luo Chen’s actions are extraordinary!

 Takes pictures of the Foundation Building Pill, the middle-grade Heqi Pill, and the Elf Pill one after another.

He even helped Kang Xianqiong and took pictures of the third-level healing elixir she needed, thereby confirming the Kang family and Luo Tianhui's gold and jade liquid agency business.

 After the auction ends.

Luo Chen personally supervised Min Longyu’s foundation construction!

 Outside the cave.

 Luo Chen was full of expectations.

“If Min Longyu can succeed, then our Luo Tianhui will have another foundation-building cultivator, and a foundation-building cultivator who is proficient in formations!”

 However, the results disappointed him.

Min Longyu actually failed and collapsed in the cave with serious injuries.

 As to the reason for the failure, Min Longyu looked bitter.

 “I hesitated.”

Luo Chen opened his mouth, but could only sigh.

 There is no such thing as a sure thing when it comes to basic construction.

 Fu Xiuxiu failed, Duan Rui failed to take the Foundation Establishment Pill twice in succession, and Wang Yuan succeeded only the second time.

Even he himself barely succeeded after several failures.

 Min Longyu took too long after all!

 After sighing, he did not feel depressed.

 Just kidding, it’s not like he failed, Min Longyu didn’t have a close relationship with him, how could he be depressed?

On the contrary, because he still had a Wang Haichao Foundation Building Pill in his hand, he gave it to Sima Huiniang two years later.

The other party succeeded in one fell swoop!

 From then on, Luo Tianhui had a president in the foundation-building period!

 Under Sima Huiniang’s hard work, Luo Tianhui developed better and better.

Luo Chen worked day and night to refine the elixirs, which were sold to all directions in Tianlan Immortal City.

He began to sell Chalcedony Pill, Jade Dew Pill, and even Tongyou Pill.

 Because of the benefits of these elixirs, he accumulated an unimaginable amount of spiritual stones.

 He is not a stingy person.

 In addition to relying on his huge wealth to improve his own cultivation, he also has a lot of support for his former friends.

Gu Caiyi and Murong Qinglian were also lucky enough to build foundations.

Even for Zhou Yuanli, who was not very qualified, Luo Chen also bought three foundation-building pills for him one after another because he had been following him for many years, so that he could successfully build the foundation and extend his life.

Qin Liangchen, on the other hand, took the initiative to give up after two attempts to build the foundation failed and his energy and blood became increasingly depleted.

 If the attack continues, it’s hard to say whether it will be successful or not, but people will be dead.

 The current situation in the Jade Cauldron Territory is changing and changing day by day.

 The battle between the two Nascent Soul Sects finally broke out.

Luo Tianhui has accumulated more than two hands of foundation-building cultivators overt and covertly over the past few decades.

 However, in such a general trend, he was unable to control his own destiny, and he was still swept into it.

 After that, there was a war that lasted for decades.

 Luo Tianhui lost many monks in this process.

Even Wang Yuan, who was closest to Luo Chen, offended a golden elixir master because he was too ruthless, and was chased for thousands of miles and unfortunately died.

 Let alone other friends.

 Luo Chen is cautious by nature and has a sharp mind.

 Haunted on the edge of life and death many times, but survived in the end.

The war came to an end when Yuanying Zhenren of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect stormed into the mountain gate of Luoyun Sect and died together with Yuanying of Luoyun Sect.

 The war is over.

Luo Tianhui, who was still alive, returned to Tianlan Fairy City.

 The long period of recuperation begins again.

Luo Chen’s realm finally reached the eighth level of foundation building at the age of one hundred and seventy.

At this moment, he can be regarded as the number one big shot in Tianlan Immortal City.

Even if the rotating sect was replaced by the Yanmeng who was close to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, he had reached a vassal relationship with the other party through the elixir business.

It's just that the cultivation of the eighth level of foundation made Luo Chen almost feel desperate.

Rao is that he has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years and can obtain countless resources. However, due to limited qualifications, he had no resources and was unable to quickly improve his strength.

 And this is only the eighth floor of the foundation!

  There will be more difficult nine levels of foundation building in the follow-up, and even the most dangerous pill-forming level.

It can be said that his hope for the road is almost nonexistent.

Luo Chen is unwilling to give in!

 Participated in auctions frequently, even visited other fairy cities in the Jade Cauldron Domain, and even joined a large Jindan sect as an external worshiper to obtain higher-level and more efficient cultivation resources.

However, his realm is still slowly upgrading.

 At the age of two hundred years.

He was sitting on the top of Danxia Peak, looking at the spectacular sea of ​​clouds, but felt confused in his heart.

Behind him, footsteps sounded slowly.

 It is Gu Caiyi.

She was lucky enough to build the foundation and survive the battle of Shangzong. Two hundred years later, she is still looking good.

Even because of the changes over the years, it has a bit more plump charm.

 “Luo Chen, do you want to take a break?”

"The road is ahead, how can I rest!" Luo Chen said resolutely without looking back.

 It's just that there is a bit of despair in that determination.

Gu Caiyi walked up to him and looked at him with pity.

“I have known you since you were at the fourth level of Qi refining.”

“In the past two hundred years, you have either been refining elixirs or practicing cultivation.”

“Even if he is not cultivating, he is mostly involved in many big forces to open up a living space for Luo Tianhui.”

“For two hundred years, I have never stopped.”

"are not you tired?"

As the words "Aren't you tired?" came out, Luo Chen, who was sitting on the top of the mountain, felt dizzy.

 There was an extreme exhaustion rushing out from the depths of his soul.

 It starts out like water from a spring, then gushes into a stream, and finally surges and roars like a mighty river.

 He is really tired.

 Two hundred years of time, I have never been lecherous, not greedy for power, and have never stopped practicing!

 There has never been anyone as hard-working as him in the world.

 Relying on the master-level alchemy skills, the speed of acquiring wealth is far higher than that of the same level.

Even the Golden elixir monk is not half as rich as him.

 But even so, the realm of golden elixir is still far away.

 Despair under the decisiveness spreads boundlessly...

A gentle mountain breeze blew by, but his figure was teetering.

 The plump waist was close to him, supporting his gray face at the temples.

Gu Caiyi stroked his gray hair sympathetically and murmured: "Let's not fight anymore, okay?"

 Aren’t you going to argue?

 Three days later.

 Danxia Peak, a grand wedding begins!

Luo Chen, a great monk in the later stage of foundation building and a second-level alchemy master, formed a Taoist couple with Gu Caiyi, the elder of Luo Tianhui.

 At the wedding, there were many congratulators.

 There is no refining Qi when going back and forth, but there is building foundation when talking and laughing.

Even three Jindan monks appeared to celebrate Luo Chen.

This wedding came in a hurry, but had a far-reaching impact.

Even in the past twenty years, it is still widely circulated in the Jade Cauldron Domain.

 It is said that on that day, even the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect sent someone to send Luo Chen a congratulatory gift.

The Shenfu Sect, thousands of miles away, all sent foundation-building disciples to congratulate him. I heard that the names of those who came were Fu Xiuxiu and Chen Shuyi.

 Twenty years later.

It is still the top of Danxia Peak.

Luo Chen watched the dim sunset gradually disappear under the boundless sea of ​​clouds. In his arms was the silent and lifeless Gu Caiyi.

 Your life span is over.

 The beautiful woman's fragrance disappears and her jade dies.

 Luo Chenku sat for a long time.

Ten days later, the purple air came from the east, and a scorching sun jumped out of the sea of ​​clouds.

Under the illumination of the newborn sun, the silent heart of the old Luo Chen began to beat again.

 “I’ve had enough rest.”

After Gu Caiyi was buried, Luo Chen embarked on the path of cultivation again.

This time, he no longer sought stability, but became more crazy than ever.

 With his realm upgrading slowly, he longed for more efficient cultivation resources.

 But the big sects would not give it to him.

 Even if he becomes a nominal worshiper in the other sect, it will not work.

“If you don’t give it to me, I’ll take it myself!”

Luo Chen started frantically refining the imperial slurry that he pressed at the bottom of the box, desperately trying to improve the strength of Luo Tianhui.

 The number of foundation-building cultivators, counted on both hands, continues to increase.

Later, many casual cultivators who had no hope of building a foundation also joined in after hearing the news.

 Ten, twenty, thirty, fifty…

 In the process, he even spent a lot of resources and recruited several golden elixir monks!

These Jindan monks are not unknown people.

 Most of them are strong men after the sect was destroyed during the Nascent Soul War.

Because the sect was destroyed, even if you were lucky enough to survive, you would just be living alone and alone.

 “Join Luo Tianzong!”

“When we attack the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, there must be an opportunity to condense the Nascent Soul!”

“Don’t worry about the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect’s background. In the battle a hundred years ago, their losses were not small at all.”

“I have been planning this battle for a long time. In addition to Luo Tianzong, we also have Yanmeng, Qingdan Valley, and Baihua Palace to act together!”

No one knows how much effort Luo Chen put into forming an army of four sects together.

 He is doing it for the purpose of forming elixirs!

 Others are out for revenge!

Golden elixir monks are trying to condense the Nascent Soul!

 A great war broke out suddenly after a hundred years of rest and recuperation in the Jade Cauldron Territory without a leader!

This war is fierce.

 But it ended very hastily.

 Because, an outsider Nascent Soul True Cultivator intervened.

 In a large domain, there was a Jindan sect that gave birth to the real Yuanying, and he came to the Jade Cauldron domain in order to seek development.

 The war between the five golden elixir sects is really ridiculous in front of Master Yuanying.

 It was easily suppressed with just a flip of his hand.

 After the war ended, the aftermath was still spreading.

 As the mastermind behind the organized war, Luo Chen was included in the must-kill list.

 Luo Tianzong, who went to meet Jianzong, suffered a devastating blow almost immediately.

Those friends who were good friends with Luo Chen, his disciples, his descendants, and the descendants of his friends all did not escape and were all destroyed!

 Only Luo Chen survived.

 He wanders around the world of immortality like a lost dog.

 At this time, he was already old.

 Shouyuan even exceeded the limit of foundation building and reached the age of 280.

 It is Wang Yuan’s legacy that made him successful.

During the battle between Jian Zong and Luoyun Sect, Wang Yuan perfected the technique from the second level of body refining to the third level.

 It contains the Immortal Path and the Strength Path as one, and the Blood Path is the main one.

Luo Chen relied on his own innate understanding to integrate the Soul Dao on the basis of this Dao.

 After that, he relied on devouring the monks’ essence, blood, and soul to survive.

 Occasionally, the elder monks who were killed by him took action, but they were also defeated by him.

Even those who are masters of the Golden Elixir often return without success.

 The name Blood Demon gradually spread among the six regions in the Far East.

 At the age of three hundred and thirty.

Luo Chen returned to Tianlan Fairy City.

 Relying on the highly accomplished and improved Breath Condensation Spirit Art, plus a huge amount of resources, he temporarily acquired a third-level low-grade cave on Tianlan Peak.

 At this time, he has already completed the foundation building!

Not only that, he also masters several secret techniques of elixir formation.

 Sprint into the golden elixir stage today!

 A huge whirlpool, spinning crazily from the sea of ​​his energy.

 A massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth rolled towards him.

Snow-white long hair, flying automatically without wind, flying behind her.

 Under the vicissitudes of his eyes, there is lingering perseverance.

 “Difficulty and bitterness hate the frost on the temples, ambition is endless and the golden elixir is formed.”

 “How can I stop here in my life!”

　　Boom!
