Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 267: Guests having fun, foundation building gifts

 Halfway up the mountain.

Luo Chen returned to the outside of his original cave platform. Chu Kui also became interested and came down with him.

 While waiting for Min Longyu to build his foundation and come out of seclusion, Chu Kui talked about the past.

“The months after the auction is often the period when Tianlan Peak is born and builds the most foundations.”

“After all, the Foundation Establishment Pill is precious. After a Qi Refining cultivator has taken it, he doesn’t dare to show it outside.”

 “Yes!”

“They will basically rent a cave on Tianlan Peak and wait until the foundation is completely established before they dare to leave.”

“It’s just that like today, it’s still relatively rare for two people to build a foundation at the same time.”

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

Chu Kui chuckled and rubbed his hands together.

“This subordinate of yours seems to be a descendant of the Min family?”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows. He had mentioned Min Longyu's name accidentally before, but he didn't expect that the other party would take it seriously.

 “So what?”

“After he successfully builds the foundation, can you recommend someone to him?” Chu Kui said.

Luo Chen became even more curious, "Even if he succeeds, he is still the first to build a foundation. Why is Fellow Daoist Chu so interested in him?"

“That’s the foundation of the Min family! He must be proficient in formations!”

Chu Kui's eyes gleamed, "The popularity of such beings among casual cultivators is no less than that of alchemists like you, and is even more popular!"

All right!

Luo Chen reluctantly agreed to the introduction.

The casual formation master is indeed more popular than a second-level alchemist like him.

 After all, a second-level alchemist is only really proficient in refining a few types of elixirs.

 Among his peers, his means of amassing money may be very strong, but his help to others is not as great as that of a third-level or fourth-level alchemist.

 But the formation mage is different!

 At a smaller level, it can be used to build foundations for casual cultivators and arrange defensive formations for cultivating immortal families.

Taken more broadly, when it comes to things like teaming up to explore and win treasures, formation mages are also indispensable!

Those ancient secret realms can be preserved to this day.

  Basically, they are protected by formations.

 Over time, the formations from hundreds or even thousands of years ago have been weakened a lot.

 A second-level formation mage like Min Longyu has a lot of room for maneuver.

Whether it is setting up, distinguishing, breaking or avoiding formations, no matter how powerful the ordinary monks are in combat, what they don't understand is that they don't understand, and they must have the help of formation masters.

 Is there any specialization in the arts?

 The reason why Chu Kui is so enthusiastic is also related to the things he usually does.

　　Take people's money to eliminate disasters for them.

 Walking alone, walking alone.

  But if you encounter a difficult enemy, you will still be in danger.

If Min Longyu, a master of formations, could help him set up an ambush in advance and break the formation, then he would really be able to come and go without a trace, and the dragon would disappear without a trace.

 In the conversation between two people.

 Time passes gradually.

The monks who noticed the movement of the two foundations at Tianlan Peak also subconsciously sent out their spiritual senses to take a look.

 Luo Chen didn’t know what the situation was like in the other place.

 But at least on his side, because Chu Kui was by his side, those foundation-building spiritual senses could be withdrawn at the touch of a button.

During the period, Nangong Jin came over.

He is still renting the nearby Dongfu instead of quitting it directly like Li Yixian did.

 After all, there are only two or three big cats and kittens left in the Nangong family.

The originally meager savings became richer after the death of a family member.

Luo Chen took the time to chat with him for a while.

After asking about his son Nangong Qin's condition, he learned that his lower body was paralyzed and it was difficult to repair. He might not be able to build a foundation in his lifetime.

Nangong Jin is now worried about him, wanting to find a match for him and pass on the bloodline.

At that time, the genius of Dahefang fell to this end.

 It’s really a pity.

Luo Chen even inquired about the Yun Business Alliance.

 At present, the Lianyun Merchant Alliance, together with the two new elders Li Yixian and Nangong Jin, has only seven foundation-building monks left.

 In the late stage of foundation building, only the Great Elder is left among the monks.

  There will no longer be the grand occasion of the three major foundation-building stages and the more than a dozen foundation-building real cultivators.

 The businesses under his command have also been hit hard.

Now Li Yixian and Nangong Jin are helping to garrison in two nearby cities to ensure that the Lianyun Merchant Alliance can continue.

“What did the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect say?”

"There is no explanation. No one else took action in the beginning. It was just the vassal forces of Jianzong. It seems to be venting anger for Jianzong, but in fact it is because of the Lianyun Merchant Alliance's business."

 “Is there no follow-up?”

“The follow-up was that after the original second elder and third elder died, the great elder accused them of having an affair with the Luo Yun Sect. After they died, the vassals of the Sword Sect had no reason to launch an attack, and then the matter was settled.”

 After chatting for a while, Min Longyu's foundation-building aura became more and more solid, which meant that he had passed the two stages of Dantian turning into sea and spiritual energy turning into liquid.

 In other words, it has been successful.

Nangong Jin enviously said congratulations to Luo Chen, then said goodbye and left.

Boom!

As the Broken Dragon Stone slowly rose, a figure that had washed away all its beauty stepped out.

He clasped his hands into fists and said to Luo Chen, "President, Long Yu has lived up to his expectations!"

At this moment, Luo Chen was in a trance.

　　It is not the sentence "I hesitated", but becomes "live up to expectations!"

 As expected, the mind mirror simulation is just a simulation.

 He, Luo Chen, has the ability to change the future!

 Through this, Luo Chen also gained confidence in the future that would take three hundred and thirty years to build a foundation for perfection.

"very good!"

 Two "very good" sounds in a row showed the joy in Luo Chen's heart.

Chu Kui also took the opportunity to say, "Congratulations to fellow Taoist, congratulations to fellow Taoist!"

 “Who is this?” Min Longyu looked at him curiously.

 “This is Chu Kui!”

 There is no more detailed introduction, but as soon as the name "Chu Kui" came out, Min Longyu's face became solemn.

The other party's name is very prestigious in the entire Tianlan Immortal City.

Far from what a new foundation builder like him can compare to.

 “I’ve met fellow Daoist Chu!”

Seeing that Chu Kui wanted to get closer to Min Longyu, Luo Chen said helplessly:

 “Let’s talk somewhere else!”

“Let’s go to my cave. By the way, we can talk all night long and exchange our cultivation experiences.”

"Very good! Very good!" Chu Kui did not refuse.

 Min Longyu naturally would not object to Luo Chen's words.

 In the past, he would have at most abided by Luo Chen's words, and would not respect the other party from the bottom of his heart like he does now.

 But after breaking through and building the foundation, he finally fully understood what Luo Chen meant by "asking his heart" for him.

 In the process of that breakthrough.

 There is one step that is the most dangerous and the most important.

 Broken Dantian!

 This is not something ordinary people dare to do.

 Because the Dantian is broken, it means that there is no place to store the spiritual energy that is being absorbed and transformed.

As a result, the avenue no longer has a foundation to rely on, and it is naturally impossible to go further.

 But unfortunately, to break through the foundation building, you must go through this experience.

 Not broken! Not standing!

 First break, then establish!

 Only by enduring the pain, moving forward bravely, and breaking the Dantian can we carry out the process of transforming the Dantian into the sea on the original basis.

If it were the previous Min Longyu, under the impact of the huge aura of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would most likely hesitate at this stage.

 For life or for the road?

 Once you hesitate, it is easy to miss the opportunity.

It was Luo Chen who asked his heart in advance and helped him regain his original intention when he was young.

He can take the initiative to break through Dantian without thinking or hesitating, and even consolidate his spiritual power and rebuild his Qi sea.

This kind of kindness is no less than the kindness of childbirth and the kindness of preaching.

Luo Chen could feel Min Longyu's respect for him.

 This can be seen from the fact that the first thing the other person said after coming out of isolation was to tell him the good news.

 He doesn't care about this.

 There are bound by the Dao Dao Oath, and it was clear from the beginning that they would use each other.

Nowadays, whether a relationship is close or not is not that important.

 The three of them rode on the clouds and mist, flying towards the heights of Tianlan Peak.

While passing by a place halfway up the mountain, a ray of light flew out with a "whoosh".

"Huh?"

 The three of them paused.

Chu Kui frowned, "Is this another person who successfully built the foundation just now? The realm is not stable yet, why are you in such a hurry to go out?"

Looking at the escaping light, Luo Chen rubbed his chin, with a look of surprise in his eyes. It's him!

 That scar-faced monk.

 It was from his hands that I obtained three incomplete magic weapons.

 The other party also received a huge amount of spiritual stones for a monk in the Qi refining stage.

From Sima Huiniang’s mouth, Luo Chen learned that two casual cultivators took pictures of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

 Among them is Scarface.

Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded in building the foundation.

It’s just, why are you running out so late?

The three of them paused for a moment, then stopped paying attention and returned to Luo Chen's cave together.

 The melon and fruit snacks from before are still there.

Chu Kui generously took out Taibaijiu this time!

 It is better to be friends with Min Longyu than to be friends with Luo Chen in the first place!

 Talk all night long, and the host and guest enjoy themselves.

Chu Kui and Min Longyu left each other's contact information before leaving contentedly.

 After he leaves.

Luo Chen took out a broken compass in front of Min Longyu.

“President, what are you doing?”

Min Longyu was a little shocked when he looked at the damaged array disk pushed in front of him.

"Chu Kui and other people can bring good wine to congratulate you on establishing the foundation. How can I not express anything if you call me president."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "It's not a very good treasure, it's just a incomplete magic weapon. Congratulations on building the foundation of the great road."

 A foundation-building gift?

Min Longyu was about to say that there is no need. You have already helped a lot in building a foundation for yourself.

 But the moment his hand touched the compass, his eyes lit up.

“Is this a formation magic weapon?”

"Um."

With a hum, Luo Chen said with regret: "Unfortunately, this formation disk is very incomplete. It can only activate a hidden formation that is comparable to the best magic weapon. It is of little use to us and other foundation-building practitioners."

“I gave it to you because I thought it might be of use as a reference for you to study formations in the future.”

However!

Min Longyu waved his hands repeatedly.

 “No! No! No!”

“This formation plate just looks incomplete. Its formation center is extremely well preserved.”

As he spoke, he took out a few medium-grade spiritual stones and placed them in several grooves on the incomplete formation plate.

 Subsequently, restrictions were issued one after another.

After being banned into the compass, streaks of dim light emerged.

Each ray of light has the meaning of expanding outward.

 But when it comes to the follow-up, it is full of obstruction and difficult to continue.

 Only the dim light representing the concealment formation successfully spread.

 “Oh my God! There is such a wonderful array!”

“It accommodates hundreds of thousands of restraints, and the center of eighteen formations is integrated into one body, which changes and exists in one heart!”

“President! This is not a broken magic weapon!”

“If you find a master forger to make up for the missing parts, this treasure will still be able to exert at least 70% of its power in its heyday!”

 Listen to this.

Luo Chen was stunned for a while.

He only spent 10,000 spiritual stones on this thing.

 Equivalent to the price of a top-quality defensive weapon.

 From what Min Longyu said, this formation disk can be repaired.

And after repairing it, it can still exert most of its power during its heyday.

“Did I really miss something?”

 Strictly speaking, the practice of asking ghosts and gods to find out what is wrong is not considered as picking up mistakes.

 Thirty thousand spiritual stones is the normal price of a magic weapon.

 He did not enjoy the simulated elixir-forming effect that it was supposed to have.

 It can only be said that spending 30,000 spiritual stones has increased his spiritual foundation and given him a little more insight into the future. It is barely worth the money.

 But this array is really missing something!

Regrettably.

 This treasure has been given away.

 Just now, all the words came out of my mouth.

Luo Chen would naturally not be able to ask for it back.

He opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't laugh or cry.

　　“But I am blind!”

“Forget it, you can take it and study it carefully, or you can ask Duan Feng to help you try to repair it. If it doesn’t work, there are three masters of casting in Tianlan Immortal City.”

Min Longyu held the array disk as if he had found a treasure, and nodded repeatedly to Luo Chen's words.

The two chatted for a few more words before Min Longyu reluctantly returned to the cave that Luo Chen had rented before.

 There are still a few days until expiration.

Min Longyu planned to spend a sum of spiritual stones to rent it.

 Now, he has been living there for a long time.

 Studying the array is a trivial matter.

 Consolidating one’s realm is the most important thing.

 Unlike Duan Feng, he can strengthen his realm by casting tools.

You must meditate quietly to purify the many spiritual energies in your body into spiritual liquid. Only by completely completing the process of converting spiritual energy into liquid can your realm be considered stable.

 This time can range from a few months to a few years.

 But with the help of the second-level cave and the Taibai wine that Chu Kui brought out just now, it shouldn’t take long.

 At present, Duan Feng is always in charge of Luo Tianhui, so there is no need for his help for the time being.

On the contrary, when his realm is stable, he will really start to shine for Luo Tianhui.

 Using the foundation building period, plus the methods of a formation master.

 It can bring great help to Luo Tianhui.

Whether it's assisting Duan Feng's forging tools, or completing the Danxia Peak defense formation.

 Even in the hundreds of spiritual fields controlled by the medicine hall, he can deliberately arrange some small formations to assist the growth of spiritual plants.

 After he leaves.

 Luo Chen went to a quiet room to practice for two hours.

When the time came up, I stopped practicing.

 After reaching the second stage of body refining, the entire body is faintly filled with qi and blood, undergoing transformation.

This transformation is very slow, and no significant changes can be seen in a short period of time, but there must be benefits!

 At least, Luo Chen discovered that its upper limit of lifespan had increased by another ten years.

  Coming to 190!

This change made Luo Chen very excited.

 Outsiders may not know why he was so excited.

 Only he can understand what it means.

For ordinary monks, after building a foundation, their longevity will skyrocket out of thin air!

Even at the early stage of foundation building, one can live to be over two hundred years old.

 This is completely different from the upper limit of life span of 150 years when Luo Chen first entered the foundation building.

 He naturally has a much shorter lifespan than others.

 This is a bad thing!

 But again, this is a good thing!

 Because, he found that as his realm increased, the upper limit of his lifespan also changed.

 From 150 on the first floor of foundation building to 160 on the second floor of foundation building.

Not only that, after the "Qingyuan Miaodan Method" was completed, it also provided him with an upper limit of life span of five years.

 "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" After reaching the master level, the spiritual power of the changing wood attribute washed over the whole body and increased his life span by five years.

 After breaking through the third level of foundation building, his upper limit of lifespan has reached 180 years!

 Now, the strength level has reached the second level of body refining, and it has increased by 10 years, reaching 190!

 Such a variety of things.

 means that his starting point is low, but his upper limit is much higher than others!

It's unclear whether it's a systemic reason, or the specialness of being a time traveler, or whether the exercises he practices can indeed extend his life.

  Anyway, Luo Chen is optimistic about the future.

Looking at the upper limit of longevity on the attribute panel, Luo Chen subconsciously took a look at the progress of the realm.

 【Foundation Building 3rd Floor 12/100】

 In half a month, the progress has increased by two points.

 Super fast training speed!

Just when Luo Chen was about to turn off the panel, his eyes suddenly stopped.

In the realm column, an entry is slowly being born.

 【Realm: 12/100 at the third level of foundation building, second level of body refining...】
