Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 257 Sleeping

 Six days later!

 In Tianlan Fairy City.

Thousands of monks poured into the fully open Binglan Palace!

In the past, only a corner of Binglan Palace was open. Now that it is fully open, it is not too crowded to accommodate tens of thousands of monks.

The law enforcement team composed of Ice Castle monks patrols outside Binglan Palace day and night to prevent young people from disrupting order.

Everyone honestly verified their capital, obtained qualifications, submitted tickets, and stepped into Binglan Palace step by step.

In the sky, from time to time, the light of the Golden Core Stage monks would fly into it.

But, in a corner.

 There is a group of people who gather together, and the impetuous atmosphere continues to spread.

 “Is your president still in retreat?”

 Kang Xianqiong's face was full of anxiety, and his eyes continued to scan in all directions, hoping to see that figure in the crowd.

 However, she was disappointed.

Sima Huiniang said calmly: "Senior Kang, don't worry, I, the Hall Master of Luo Tianhui, have already gone to invite the president in person, and I won't delay you."

 “How can we not delay!”

 Seeing Kang Xianqiong being so anxious, Sima Huiniang frowned.

The other party is also a true practitioner of foundation building, but his Qi cultivation skills are too poor.

She said patiently: "As far as I know, the auction lasts for three days. In addition to the finale treasures every day, there are basically resources corresponding to the three realms of Qi refining, foundation building, and golden elixir."

“The Purple Sun Liquid you need is a third-level elixir, and the auction should start on the third day.”

 “There’s no need to be so anxious!”

 Kang Xianqiong sighed and suppressed the worries in his heart.

 There is not only one person who is as anxious as she is.

 There is also Min Longyu in the crowd!

It's just that others are speaking lightly, and at this moment, I can only be patient.

 Suddenly.

 A Flowing Cloud Beast Car parked in front of Binglan Palace.

Duan Feng hurriedly walked out, his face solemn and his steps a little heavy as he walked.

Sima Huiniang, whose instinct for observing words and emotions had long been immersed in her, felt something bad in her heart when she saw this.

 She stepped forward quickly.

 “Hall Master Duan, the President’s side...”

Duan Feng said coldly: "The president has said that the auction in the past two days will be dominated by President Sima Qi. Regarding foundation-building spiritual objects and foundation-building period resources, you should think carefully and then I will conduct the auction."

 He is also a true cultivator of foundation building now.

　　What you say at the auction has more weight than a group of ninth-level monks from the Luo Tian Society's Qi Refining Stage.

As he spoke, he quietly handed a storage bag to Sima Huiniang's hand.

More spiritual consciousness is transmitted into the ears.

“Here is one hundred thousand yuan, which is enough to buy what I, Luo Tianhui, need.”

Sima Huiniang's eyelids twitched, "Did the president give it to him? What's wrong with him now?"

Duan Feng glanced at the people in front of Luo Tianhui who were looking forward to it, and secretly sent a message: "The president is fine, he just has some problems in his practice and needs to recuperate. I have used the message to inform Elder Wang Yuan. , he will go there himself.”

 However, after hearing this, Sima Huiniang was not only uneasy.

 My heart is even heavier.

 At the beginning, he said it was okay, but later he got to the point where he wanted to invite Wang Yuan.

 It seems like something big has happened at the president's place!

 Taking a deep breath, she forced a smile and turned around.

 “Everyone, come with me!”

Some people were curious about Luo Chen's situation, but under Duan Feng's cold gaze, they suppressed their curiosity.

When entering the venue, Duan Feng stopped and patted Min Longyu on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry, the president has already obtained the quota for the Foundation Establishment Pill in advance.”

　　Min Longyu, who had looked ashen before, could not help but see the light of hope in his eyes.

 But, I still feel a little uneasy in my heart.

With Luo Chen not taking action, can Sima Huiniang alone take the precious Foundation Establishment Pill?

 …

 Time goes back to five days ago.

 After getting the bronze mirror, a day and a night passed by in an instant.

With a roar coming from the depths of his consciousness, Luo Chen slowly woke up from his long journey of more than two hundred years.

 “Master, are you okay?”

Bai Meiling looked at Luo Chen with great concern.

However, when Luo Chen's eyes that seemed to have experienced vicissitudes of life fell on her, she couldn't help but shudder.

 “I’m fine.”

"In the following days, guard the cave and refuse all outsiders. If Hui Niang or Duan Feng comes looking for her, give her this storage bag and the transmission talisman."

 Finished.

Luo Chen put down a storage bag filled with spiritual stones and staggered into the bedroom.

 Since moving into this second-level low-grade cave residence.

Luo Chen's figure usually only appears in the quiet room for cultivation, the alchemy room for alchemy, as well as the study room and the living room where guests receive guests.

The bedroom was reserved for people to rest, but he rarely used it.

Now he stepped into the bedroom again and fell down on the soft bed.

 "The ghosts and gods ask about the state of mind...what a journey of asking about the mind!"

 While murmuring, Luo Chen fell into a deep sleep.

 Although the outside world was turbulent, he fell asleep soundly, unaware of the years and months.

 This is a long sleep.

 Ever since Luo Chen traveled through time and embarked on the path of spiritual practice, he has never had a sleepless night.

In this sleep, he had no dreams and had a very good rest.

 It wasn’t until a few days later that he slowly woke up.

Lying on the soft bed, covered with a light and soft silk quilt, Luo Chen opened his mouth, and finally sighed softly.

“Since time travel, it seems that I have never had such a good and long rest!”

If you don’t count the ten years of practice of his predecessor, it only took him eleven or twelve years to go from refining his Qi to building his foundation.

 This kind of cultivation speed is almost comparable to the rumored Tianlinggen talent in the world of immortality!

Although no one said it, Luo Chen could often see envy in the eyes of his friends and subordinates.

envious?

It’s just a matter of life!

 Working day and night to refine elixirs to earn spiritual stones, and never stop practicing.

 Relying on huge resources, we have persisted for ten years.

 He is the one who has achieved this level of cultivation!

 The reason why he is so desperate is not only the constantly changing external factors around him, but also the internal reason that he deeply feels that his qualifications are low and his longevity is insufficient.

Even after building the foundation, he was still trapped by this.

 That’s why I never stopped.

 But after experiencing the dreamlike experience a few days ago, he realized that he seemed to have gone too far.

 “Luo Chen, aren’t you tired?”

"hehe…"

 “How can I not be tired?”

 Chuckle lightly.

Luo Chen opened his eyes wide, and his thoughts seemed to go back to the long years in the Mirror of Ghosts and Gods.

Since waking up, he has learned a lot of information about the bronze mirror, which was left in it with spiritual consciousness by a master of the golden elixir.

 This magic weapon originated from the Ghost Valley, a powerful array sect hundreds of years ago.

Its wonderful use is that it allows monks to go on one, and only one, journey of "asking one's heart".

 In other words, it is not just "asking the mind", but even the main purpose is "simulation".

With the experience and knowledge of a monk, he uses this unique magic weapon to simulate one thing in a targeted manner.

 In the Valley of Ghosts and Gods.

 This treasure has been in the hands of Jinwu, the elder who passed down the power all year round.

 Mainly used for disciples of Ghost Valley who have cultivated to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

 Help them simulate the condensation process of golden elixir!

 Even if it happens only once, it is a precious experience.

 At the time when Ghost Valley had this thing, even though there was no superior elixir-forming secret technique, the number of golden elixir monks in the sect had been showing a steady upward trend. Later, the sect became more and more powerful, far surpassing the same Jindan sect, and was considered extremely powerful.

 But unfortunately, there is no Yuanying monk in Guishen Valley!

In order to avoid being feared by the Nascent Soul Sect within the domain, the Supreme Elder of Guishen Valley decided to move away from the original domain and join the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect’s opening war to seek a new place for Guishen Valley to survive.

It is a pity that Guishen Valley, which later served as the vanguard in the opening war, was completely wiped out by the fourth-order demon emperor's army.

 At this point, a large number of formation sects gradually declined.

 The reason for the decline was not just the loss of all the elite members of the sect in one fell swoop.

What’s more, with the disappearance of the Supreme Elder of Ghost Valley, a defensive magic weapon also disappeared without a trace.

Rotten Keqi!

 This set of magic weapons is of mid-grade level and consists of two chess pieces, black and white.

Logically speaking, it should not have the same reputation as a high-grade magic weapon such as the Demon Locking Tower in the world of immortality.

But in fact, within the Ghost Valley, the importance of Lan Keqi is no less important than that of the Demon Locking Tower.

 The reason is that this treasure can cooperate with ghosts and gods to inquire about the state of mind.

 Although both have defensive effects, they also have different emphases.

White chess protects the body, black chess protects the soul.

 At the beginning, Luo Tianhong was able to be the first to transform into a ghost general after his death, and it was because of Black Chess.

Luo Chen once bombarded him to pieces, and he was able to quickly repair himself with the help of black chess and ghost domain.

This shows how outstanding Black's defense effect is in protecting the soul.

Ghost Valley takes advantage of the soul-protecting effect of Lanke Black Chess to allow its foundation-building disciples to use the Mind-Questing Mirror!

But unfortunately, this treasure was lost in the Guyuan Mountains.

Since then, the Ghost Valley and the Golden Pill monks have gradually become unable to succeed.

 After the elder Jinwu who passed on the power gathered the remaining disciples, he supported it for a long time.

 But after he passed away, no new Jindan monks were born in Guishen Valley, and they could only rely on the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

 Among the younger generation of disciples, it is not that they have not tried to use the state of mind of ghosts and gods to simulate elixir formation.

 But without the soul protection of Lan Keheiqi, even if you successfully simulate it, you will often get lost in it.

 After many attempts.

 This magic weapon is gradually becoming overwhelmed.

 Finally, a corner of it shattered and became incomplete.

After several twists and turns, it fell into the hands of Luo Chen.



 This information is just Luo Chen's own speculation through the fragments of words left by the Golden Elixir Master on the Ghosts and Gods Inquiry Mirror.

However, based on subsequent history, he felt that his speculation should be correct in the general direction.

“By chance, I happened to have Lankehei in my hand, but it allowed me to protect my soul during the long simulation process, all the way to the end of the simulation.”

 With emotion.

Luo Chen's thoughts spread uncontrollably again.

The three hundred years of experience in the mirror were extremely tortuous.

 The earlier the simulation, the clearer the simulated events.

 In the middle and late stages, he can only rely on his experience and insights to make directional derivation.

 Just like the war between the two Yuan Ying Shang Zong, Luo Tian would be trapped.

Wang Yuan killed a lot of people in order to practice cultivation and offended Master Jindan.

Even later he took a desperate risk and besieged the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect without Yuanying.

These are things that he, or the people around him, can do.

As for the end, Luo Tian will be destroyed, and it seems very possible that he will fall into the evil path of casual cultivators when he is desperate.

 Because from the very beginning, he, Luo Chen, was just an unknown casual cultivator in Dahefang.

He has done things like killing people and seizing treasures before.

 Although it is forced.

 As for the final attack on the Golden Core stage, the result was naturally a failure.

 With his current experience, knowledge, and accumulation, it is simply impossible to simulate successfully.

 Furthermore, this state of mind asking ghosts and gods does not take the proficiency system into consideration.

“During the simulation, in order to cultivate, I fell into the devil’s path, and ended up as a human being and a ghost, so that I could achieve the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.”

“The time it took even exceeded the life limit of a three-hundred-year-old foundation-building monk.”

 Three hundred and thirty years old is the simulated end of life.

 Normally speaking, the upper limit of lifespan for a foundation-building practitioner is two hundred and fifty years.

 With the help of unique exercises, you can prolong your life by more than ten or twenty years.

If there is another life-extending elixir, the limit will be 300 years.

He was able to live to the age of three hundred and thirty because of the blood path body training method that Wang Yuan finally developed.

　　It took such a long time to carry out the act of killing people and gathering nourishment.

 But in the end, he was wanted by the entire Jade Cauldron Territory.

 He himself is more like a human than a human, a ghost but not a ghost.

The first time he attacked the golden elixir, he went crazy and declared failure.

 Failure is not terrible!

Even the genius of Guishen Valley back then would fail.

 For him, the most dangerous place is actually at the eighth level of foundation building, when he is desperate for cultivation.

At that stage, his fighting spirit was exhausted, and he even became a Taoist couple with Gu.

 Ask your heart!

That is a test of his Dao heart.

If he hadn't been ambitious and wanted to compete on the road again, even if he had the help of Lan Keheiqi, his spirit would have been frustrated and his Taoist heart would have been severely hit.

 After waking up, I am afraid that I will be confused and unable to control myself.

“No wonder this thing is only used by the disciples of the Great Perfection in the Valley of Ghosts and Gods!”

“People of this generation have abandoned all distracting thoughts and only have the matter of forming pills in their minds, so naturally they won’t think about too many other things.”

 Sighing, Luo Chen noticed something was wrong.

 He found that his thoughts seemed to spread easily.

“Is it the sequelae left after the ghosts and gods asked to simulate the state of mind?”

Luo Chen frowned.

Suddenly, a feeling of extreme hunger came from the stomach and sea of ​​consciousness again.

 His expression changed slightly and he sat up.

 “Xiao Ling, prepare ten days of spiritual meals for me!”

Bai Meiling, who was lying down outside to study the Soul Gathering Flag, responded sweetly.

Luo Chen felt the state of his body, and as soon as he released his spiritual consciousness, he felt dizzy.

“Not only the body, but also the soul seems to be overused!”

“That’s right, the Dzogchen monks in Guishen Valley only need to invest all their energy in simulating elixir formation.”

“And I only have three levels of foundation building, but I have to simulate it step by step. This process relies on my own foundation to complete the whole process.”

“If it weren’t for the foundation of my soul, I would be so close to the late stage of foundation building that I probably wouldn’t be able to reach the stage of simulating pill formation.”

 In simulation.

 His failure in forming elixirs was not just due to lack of experience and insight.

 There is also a reason why the soul cannot support it!

 Under the feeling, Luo Chen only felt that his brain was dizzy.

“Fortunately, I still have spare Tongyou Pill. Even if it can’t grow, it should still be enough to add one or two.”

Without thinking, Luo Chen took out a Tongyou Pill and swallowed it.

 Outside, spiritual food feasts full of rich spiritual energy were served on the stone table one after another under the control of Bai Meiling.

 Half an hour later.

 Luo Chen, who felt slightly better, walked out of the bedroom.

 When he came to the stone table, he couldn't wait to enjoy a feast of spiritual food that ordinary monks could not afford.

While eating, Luo Chen asked:

 “How many days did I sleep?”

Bai Meiling was lying on the table, holding her face with her hands.

She picked up her fingers and counted in detail: "After you came back, you stayed in front of the mirror for a day and a night. Then, you slept for another seven days. Someone came to see you in the middle, it was Duan Feng. Oh, Wang Yuan also came yesterday , I went back when I saw you sleeping."

 Listening to these nagging words, Luo Chen's eating movements gradually slowed down.

 “Is there only the last day left for the auction?”

 “Fortunately, it’s not too late!”
