Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 360 Gu Caiyi built the foundation, and Chu Kui went to Jilei Mountain

The fire clouds stretched for thousands of miles, covering the sky.

The blazing high temperature is far away, but the cold hair is almost on fire.

 In a messy training ground.

Chu Kui looked at Luo Chen in admiration.

“Your method of controlling weapons is really mysterious. Did you learn it from Danyangzi during the dispute between Taoism and Taoism?”

 Luo Chen nodded.

“I was touched, and after I came back, I searched for the classics privately and figured it out.”

Chu Kui once again praised, "It's very good. Your power is not weaker than that of Danyangzi. It seems that your attainments in magic are indeed worthy of the name!"

Luo Chen frowned.

“That’s all? Didn’t it mean that your sparring also includes services such as pointing out shortcomings and looking for ways to improve?”

 “I don’t believe it, I just learned this skill for the first time and it was perfect.”

Chu Kui laughed.

 Then his face turned slightly serious.

Looking at Luo Chen, Chu Kui said seriously: "Your methods are very strong. I can see that you at least leave a lot of leeway. When you explode with all your strength, ordinary monks may not be your opponent."

Luo Chen didn’t hide it and nodded directly.

It's just a sparring exercise. How could he use up all his cards and give his best?

 In the previous training, he only used 30% of his strength at most.

"but!"

Chu Kui changed the subject and looked at Luo Chen with a slight frown, "I found a shortcoming in you!"

"Um?"

“In other words, it’s not a shortcoming, but that you didn’t use your strengths.”

 “Speak in detail!” Luo Chen listened attentively, without any anger at all.

Chu Kui pointed to the large piece of fire aura left on the training ground.

“You are too pursuing the powerful explosive power of fire spells. Although you are indeed the best at the same level, your own strengths are not above fire spells.”

“According to my observation, your spiritual power is actually dominated by the wood element.”

“For spells of the same level, if you use wooden spells to fight against the enemy, the burst of power should be several times higher than that of other systems!”

“Your path has gone astray since the Qi refining period.”

 After listening to these words.

Luo Chen, who had been a little disapproving before, felt his heart sink at this moment.

indeed!

Just as Chu Kui said, along the way, the exercises he majored in were all based on the wood element.

 《Changchun Gong》

 "Yimu Yao Wang Jing"

 《The Sutra of Immortality and Evergreen》

 Step by step, he was successfully promoted, creating a rich and pure wood spiritual power.

 But the various methods he uses in normal battles are actually based on the fire element.

  Fireball, Sun, Landslide.

 Even the main magic weapon used for sacrifice is the Mysterious Fire Sword!

His own path, in the eyes of outsiders, is very deformed.

Luo Chen occasionally doubts himself, but he feels that there is nothing wrong with his use of fire magic, and its power is also very powerful.

 So I have been ignoring this matter.

At this moment, Chu Kui pointed out this flaw very clearly. For a while, he seemed to be unable to find any good solution.

“Brother Chu, do you have any suggestions?” Luo Chen asked sincerely.

Chu Kui did not hide his secrets and said bluntly: "Either you can improve the wood element, or you can switch to the fire element or the wood and fire dual elements."

 After listening, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

 The former is actually not difficult.

 He also knows a lot of wood spells.

  Tangle, Heal, Spring Breeze and Rain Technique, and the flower fairy that I just learned recently.

 But these spells do not have great combat power.

 Most of them are mainly auxiliary.

Well, the auxiliary effect, blessed by the spiritual power of Jingchunmu, is outstanding!

 But if you want to complement the attack methods of the wood type...

 Wood type is not known for its attacks!

As for the latter, it is even more impossible.

It took a lot of effort to deduce the "Sutra of Immortality and Evergreen" to the master level, how can it be so easy to convert the natal skills?

If not, will this avenue still be repaired?

 For a while, it seemed that there was no solution to the current situation.

Chu Kui patted Luo Chen on the shoulder, "Of course, you don't have to think too much. At least with what you can do now, it is absolutely no problem to dominate at the same level. Sometimes, it is better to strengthen your strengths to make up for your shortcomings."

“As long as your fire spell is unrivaled, a little dissatisfaction is not a big deal.”

“Furthermore, foundation-building monks mostly use external objects to fight their enemies, and spells and the like are actually not that important.”

Luo Chen hummed.

 Thanks for his advice.

 If the road goes astray, it will go astray. Forcibly correcting it will only waste a lot of energy and time.

 Along the way, there were actually not many things for him to choose from.

 He can only do his best within his own capabilities.

Moreover, if you can practice the art of weapon control to the point of incomparable proficiency.

 At that time, use the magic weapon Xuanhuo Sword to cast fire spells.

Although he dare not say that he is invincible at the same level, he has the ability to protect himself in the face of any foundation-building cultivator!

 After all, his fire spell just doesn't have a corresponding increase in spiritual power.

 But the power is not inferior to that of the fire monks, or even more powerful!

 After making an appointment with Chu Kui for the next training time, Luo Chen returned home.

Now that Gu Caiyi's injuries have healed, he has also initially mastered the incomplete magic weapon of the Ghost and God Consulting Mirror.

 For a time, apart from alchemy and cultivation, I had a lot of free time.

Luo Chen’s arrangement was to use all the extra time on strengthening fighting methods.

 Under multiple simulations.

 He has seen that the scope and extent of the Yuding Civil War will expand.

 He has to work hard to become stronger as much as possible for a future that may be even more chaotic.

 …

 Time keeps passing by.

 A few months later.

 Inside a second-level lower-grade cave.

Luo Chen took out many foundation-building elixirs in front of Gu Caiyi.

 High-grade Yang-returning water, high-quality glazed ointment, second-grade top-grade pulse-protecting elixir, soothing incense, and a portion of Emperor's liquid containing the mysterious yin energy!

Looking at the dazzling array of foundation building resources, Gu Caiyi couldn’t help but say:

“Even the disciples of the sect don’t have such good resources to support them when building the foundation!”

Luo Chen paused and couldn't help but laugh.

indeed!

 When he first built the foundation, how could he have such good resource treatment?

 Ordinary Huanyang Shui, ordinary soothing incense.

Even the second-level spiritual land was forcibly constructed by using the ice and fire springs of Xiaohuan Mountain in conjunction with formations and spiritual stones.

At that time, he relied solely on five foundation-building elixirs to build the foundation.

Gu Caiyi is different.

In addition to these resources, I also read through the foundation-building experiences written by all the foundation-building practitioners of the Luo Tianhui.

Not only that, he pushed the palace pulses for her and showed her the steps of foundation building many times.

 Even, she asked her to simulate a foundation building by herself using the mirror of ghosts and gods.

 So many kinds!

 Let alone the great sect’s true inheritance, it is estimated that even the core Qi-refining period disciples of the Yuanying Sect will definitely not have such conditions.

"If I can't build a foundation now, I'm afraid I'll have to find a piece of tofu and kill myself!" Gu Caiyi said playfully.

Luo Chen ruffled her hair and said, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Whether you succeed or not, I will support you."

 “Hmph, I don’t want you to raise me.”

Gu Caiyi raised her long neck. Even though she said so, she still took Luo Chen’s hand and said softly: “Thank you.”

"There is no need for it, as the old saying goes, if one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. Although I have not yet attained the golden elixir path, I can look after you once or twice, which is more than enough."

“Okay, stop thinking about things, adjust your state, put away your distracting thoughts, and prepare to build the foundation!”

 Luo Chen let go of his hand and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, a gentle touch came from behind.

Gu Caiyi hugged his broad and thick back and murmured: "Wait until I come out of seclusion!"

"Um!"

Hunted loudly, and the other party stopped hugging her tightly.

Luo Chen left the cave, looked at the woman inside, and waved.

 The Broken Dragon Stone rumbled down, and Luo Chen sighed.

 It’s not that I’m worried about Gu Caiyi’s foundation building failure.

 But every time he saw this scene, it always gave him a strange feeling.

 It seems like farewell, like leaving, and also like heaven and man being separated forever.

 Now it’s just about refining Qi and building foundation.

If in the future, after he attains the Golden Elixir Nascent Soul, he will be in deep retreat for decades at a time, how many relatives and friends will he still see after he comes out?

 This is also the reason why he was reluctant to be attracted to others in his early years.

 Those who can't keep up will slowly fall behind even if they don't take the initiative to abandon them.

Perhaps after a retreat, what you see when you come out is a handful of loess!

"hope everything is fine!"

 …

The top of Tianlan Peak.

Chu Kui and Luo Chen were sitting together, drinking wine.

 Occasionally, I will talk about some cultivation experiences.

 In the first few sparring sessions, Luo Chen treated him well.

 But later, he found that he had less and less to teach Luo Chen.

 He felt that he deserved the high fee for sparring.

 Hence, from time to time, I would share some of my experience in the later stages of foundation building with Luo Chen, which is considered compensation.

“Do you still remember what I told you before about how the soul’s foundation is very important when forming elixirs?”

 “I’m not fooling you, but it’s true.”

“According to rumors, there are three ways to form an elixir, and the upper method relies on the power of the soul to form an elixir!”

“For example, let’s take you alchemists as an example. When making a pill, you often need to use spiritual power to control the tempered pure medicinal power from a distance and knead it into pills.”

 “It’s probably the same with pill formation!”

“It’s just that the spiritual power is replaced by the power of the divine soul, and the medicinal power is replaced by spiritual power.”

Hearing these words, Luo Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

Is there still such a metaphor?

Chu Kui shrugged, "I heard it from hearsay, it's up to you to believe it or not."

"However, this kind of rumor is indeed somewhat credible. After all, it is said that the golden elixir monk's magic power is condensed into a golden elixir. If there is a foundation-building monk, the infinite spiritual liquid in the Qi Sea can be kneaded into a whole A great pill.”

 “Tell me, does this count as an elixir?”

 Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

 After a while, he released the liquefied spiritual energy in his body in front of Chu Kui.

 One drop, two drops, three drops…

 He tried to combine them all.

There is no difficulty in the beginning, but when the number reaches nine drops, it becomes unsustainable.

 There are faint signs of losing control.

 “Don’t try it!”

 Chu Kui shook his head, "I tried, but it doesn't work!"

“This is a rumor about the method of forming an elixir. How could it be so simple?”

“Instead, we need to formulate an elixir. We must first condense a smaller ordinary golden elixir, and then use the power of the same source to attract other spiritual powers in the sea of ​​​​qi, slowly fuse them, and finally achieve the golden elixir avenue!”

 The golden elixir is slipping, and the sea of ​​qi is floating?

 Speaking of this, he threw out a concept.

“This method of forming elixirs will create a unique realm, which is called the false elixir realm.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "Fake elixir realm?"

"right!"

Chu Kui pointed in the direction of Tianlan Peak, but he went beyond Tianlan Peak and talked about the monk on Peach Mountain.

“Taoshan Xuanyu, the following method failed to form the elixir before, and now it is stuck in the realm of fake elixir.”

“Of course, the fake elixir realm is still counted as the Great Perfection of the foundation building period, but it may be slightly stronger.”

“But the consequences are also serious. If he wants to try to form a pill in the future, it will be even more difficult!”

 Luo Chen took back the spiritual liquid that failed to condense into his body.

Muttering the terms Foundation Establishment Dzogchen, False Elixir Realm, and Golden Elixir.

 In my mind, I was thinking about the three methods of elixir formation mentioned in the Nanshan people’s experience of elixir formation.

 Different elixir-forming methods, there are only differences before and after elixir-formation.

Unexpectedly, using the method to form elixirs would create such an existence as a false elixir realm.

“Okay, let’s stop talking today. Don’t ask me to train with you again. I have nothing to teach you.”

Chu Kui stood up.

Luo Chen looked up at him and said with a smile: "How could that be? Brother Chu has extraordinary skills. In my opinion, he is still above Danyangzi. He has a lot to teach me."

Chu Kui curled his lips.

 He can still feel complacent about other compliments, but he knows his strength better than anyone else.

In his opinion, Danyangzi from Qingdan Valley is not that strong.

 But the prerequisite is not to use the Ziji Sky Fire thing.

　　Stretched, Chu Kui yawned and said, "It's not that I don't want to teach, it's that I have to go on a long trip recently and don't have time to be your training partner."

 Far away?

 “Where to go?” Luo Chen asked subconsciously.

 But then, he said: "I'm taking the liberty, I guess Brother Chu has taken on some big job again!"

Chu Kui sighed, "This time, I really didn't take on any job."

 “In fact, there is nothing that cannot be said to others.”

“I plan to go to the Jilei Mountain battlefield to hang out and see if I can get anything useful for forming pills.”

Luo Chen was surprised and said: "Ji Lei Mountain battlefield? Brother Chu, do you want to go through this muddy water? As a casual cultivator, there should be no one who can force you to do it!"

 The mountain wind carrying water vapor blew by.

　　Lifting up Chu Kui’s thick black hair that was spread behind her.

 The tall and strong man had a rare look of self-mockery on his face at this moment.

“Although casual cultivation is a happy life, under the happy scenery, it is a hardship that only one knows.”

“In the early years, I could still make ends meet from time to time.”

“But after building the ninth level of foundation, only the elixir-forming resources can tempt me. It’s time for me to take the initiative to do something for my own practice.”

　　This time we join the war.

 He doesn’t work for anyone, he only fights for himself!

How could Luo Chen not know the hardships of being a selfless cultivator? He also survived the period of being a selfless cultivator.

 He thought for a while and then asked: "Which side are you going to join?"

"Whoever gives you more and better things, I will help them kill people!" A stern look appeared on Chu Kui's face.

"If you have any spare energy, if you meet me, a monk from the Luo Tianhui, please give me a hand."

 “How many spiritual stones should I give?”

 Luo Chen was startled, then cursed loudly.

"roll!"

Chu Kui laughed and left.

 After he left, Luo Chen actually felt empty in his heart.

Although he and Chu Kui have a relationship of interest, after these years of getting along, they can be regarded as both teachers and friends.

Now, another friend wants to take the initiative to get involved in the quagmire of war.

“Just like what was simulated in My Mind Mirror, as long as this war does not end, sooner or later everyone in the Jade Cauldron Territory will be involved.”

 “I don’t know how long my Ansheng life will last?”
