Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 373: Thousands of escaping lights, mayflies in the world

 half a month later.

 Beyond Jinsha Floating Island.

Luo Chen looked at the endless yellow sand outside the floating island, which he could not see with his spiritual eyes, and a trace of melancholy could not help but appear in his eyes.

Such a seemingly peaceful yellow sand wasteland devours the lives of countless monks every day.

 Tomorrow, I will also set foot on the battlefield!

While he was sighing, the sound of footsteps came from behind.

“President, Yuan Xiaoyue and the others are ready.”

Luo Chen turned around and watched the monks, led by Yuan Xiaoyue and Qin Liangchen, embark on the Langqi flying boat.

Li Yingzhang stood beside him. Three days ago, Luo Chen had completely removed all the earthly fire evil spirits from his body.

Now, although the opponent's foundation is slightly damaged, there is no problem with normal practice.

 “Be careful along the way, and make good use of the head of the Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivator.”

 “Yeah, I know.”

"After you go back, follow the prescription of the doctor in Qingdan Valley and take ten more medicines. You seem to be better now, but some injuries caused by the erosion of evil spirits cannot be solved by my magic, so you have to rely on medicine."

“Thank you very much, President, for your concern. Yingzhang will keep it in mind.”

“Over there at Luo Tianhui... just listen to the president. I can rest assured that she will do things well!”

Li Yingzhang nodded heavily.

 He had memorized Luo Chen's every word.

In the end!

Luo Chen smiled and said: "If there is a chance, I will definitely find the Chilong Sword of your Li family for you."

Li Yingzhang shook his head quickly: "The president gave me the Jiuqu Spiritual King, which is already a great gift from heaven. How can I ask for it? President, you don't need to take risks for this."

Luo Chen smiled and said nothing more.

  Chilong Sword is different from other magic weapons after all.

It was not only the family heirloom of the Li family, but also the sword that his old friend Li Jinhuang wore during his lifetime.

 It’s okay if there is no chance.

 If he encounters it, he will try to get it back no matter what.

“Okay, get in the boat, they are waiting for you.”

Li Yingzhang looked up and saw that the Langqi flying boat had slowly started to launch, and a layer of aura light shield was gradually covering the boat.

Comparatively, a large amount of material was reproduced, so that the airship was extremely large and flew extremely slowly.

 When I returned, it was mostly empty.

There are only some precious materials that Yuan Xiaoyue collected from the Ice Castle, and she is going to bring them back to Tianlan Fairy City to sell them.

 You can’t go back with an empty boat!

 Therefore, when we returned, the flying boat had shrunk to ten feet long, which was comparable to the length of a high-grade flying boat.

 It is so long and wide, and the flying speed is also the best!

 When encountering an irresistible enemy, you can escape faster.

Li Yingzhang jumped up and boarded the flying boat.

Together with Qin Liangchen and Yuan Xiaoyue, they turned around and looked at Luo Chen.

“President, see you next year!” Qin Liangchen shouted.

"President, you must be safe!" Yuan Xiaoyue waved her hand and said goodbye.

 Luo Chen didn’t say anything.

 Just nodded to them.

 Under his gaze, the Langqi flying boat slowly took off.

 Subsequently, he flew away from the yellow sand area of ​​thousands of miles.

 In his sight, the huge flying boat gradually turned into a small black dot, until Luo Chen could no longer see it.

 A feeling of sadness came to mind.

 Luo Chen turned around and walked slowly back along the street.

 When he reached the center of the floating island, his footsteps stopped.

In that circular square, there stood a huge white stone tablet, with lines of golden fonts emerging on it.

 Merit list!

 The monks of the four sects are not above it. They have their own internal way of calculating merit.

This stone tablet mainly records the achievements of the vassal forces under their respective command and some casual cultivators on the battlefield.

 Hence, the subject above is either the name of a force or the name of an individual cultivator.

This meritorious service is not just for good reputation, but has real effect!

 You can use your meritorious deeds to go to the Luoyun Sect, the leader of the four sect alliances, to exchange for corresponding resources and treasures!

For example, the first-level elf elixir that monks urgently need in the late stage of Qi refining, or the precious foundation-building elixir.

 Other precious elixirs can also be exchanged.

 At least Luo Chen saw a medium-grade light-containing elixir suitable for his cultivation.

It is said that this is a specialty cultivation elixir of the Luoyun Sect. It is not inferior to the second-level elixirs of Yaowang Sect and Qingdan Valley. It was refined by Fairy Mu Yunyan, the chief alchemist of the Luoyun Sect.

 Medium-grade second-level cultivation elixirs are extremely tempting to ordinary foundation-building practitioners!

But Luo Chen doesn't like it at the moment.

 The high-grade Shenglong Pill given to him by Tao Wan of Qingdan Valley is still being supplied steadily.

Luo Chen has no intention of changing his main medication before drug resistance develops.

In addition to elixirs, the four sect alliances also provide many resources.

 Magical weapons, magical elixirs, magical secrets, and the most coveted puppets of the Luoyun Sect!

 Puppets of the same level, and even third-level puppets will be exchanged!

If you can exchange for such a good thing, then it is not an exaggeration to say that you can go sideways during the foundation building period.

 It is precisely because there are so many good things on it.

 So much so that the ranking on the merit list cannot be used to determine who has made more contributions.

 It's very simple. Each vassal is worried that the resources above are limited.

 Therefore, when you earn a little merit, you try to exchange it as much as possible, so as not to end up with empty merit but without the resources you want.

 The same goes for Luo Tianhui!

In the past two years, all the merit earned has been exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills!

 Redeemed three in total!

 Currently, there are only a hundred merit points left on it.

 As a result, Luotianhui's ranking is only in the middle and lower levels, just a little higher than some scattered foundations.

“After I get back, I want to ask Xu Huanzhen carefully how this meritorious service is calculated.”

Luo Chen’s eyes fell on the stone tablet, and he became as familiar as possible with each of the vassals of the four alliances.

There are also several forces he is familiar with above.

 For example, Lianyun Business Alliance ranked 19th.

 Luojia in Luochafang City, Chenjia in Tianyifang City, Bailianshan, Changliuxia Changjia, and Weijia in Xuchenshan.

These are all second-rate forces in Tianlan Immortal City, or near Tianlan.

In the past half month, several foundation-building cultivators have taken the initiative to visit him.

 Either exchanging cultivation experiences, or worrying about the development of future wars, etc.

 Some of them have not been seen yet. They are either in seclusion to recuperate, or they have not come down from the Nine Mountains of Ji Lei.

 But so many familiar people and forces gathered here still made Luo Chen feel dazed.

It's as if he is still in Tianlan Fairy City!

 But the cruel fact told him that this is the Golden Sands Floating Island!

 It is the base camp of the four sect alliances on the thousands of miles of yellow sand!

 After the war is over, it is unknown how many of these familiar forces will be able to return alive.

 It is impossible to say that all the few foundation-building cultivators of a certain force died on the battlefield.

 The land in their hometown will be occupied by others.

“Perhaps with more dead points, each group will be happier and be able to collect rent again!”

 Luo Chen has never been afraid to speculate on these golden elixirs with the greatest malice.

 In their eyes.

 A vassal force is nothing at all.

As long as your sect survives, your vassals will be like weeds. If they are gone today, others will take the initiative to attach themselves to you in a while.

Just like Luo Tianhui, Luo Chen took the initiative to climb the ice castle!

 Because Luo Chen had been standing under the merit list for a long time.

 Slowly, someone noticed him.

 His appearance and deeds are no stranger to Jinsha Floating Island these days.

Most people know his face, or have heard of his name Dan Chenzi!

Luochen’s spiritual consciousness is powerful, even if he doesn’t eavesdrop on it deliberately. However, among the lower-level monks nearby, the messages they transmitted to each other could not escape Luo Chen's ears.

“That senior is Dan Chenzi, right?”

“Yes, just standing there, I look like a great master. I am worthy of being a leader among casual cultivators!”

"We are also casual cultivators, and we don't know if we can reach his level in this life. Not only can we become famous in the Jade Cauldron Domain, but we can also create a force like Luo Tianhui, and we can do whatever we want."

"Haha, I'm afraid you are overthinking this. Although the Luo Tianhui is just an ordinary second-rate force, the strong ones in the group are not weak to the true disciples of the great sects. For example, the thunderous formation used the power of the initial stage of foundation building to kill the five major sects of the same level. Do you think you can conquer such talented people? It’s difficult even for you!”

 “Well... life is already very difficult, Brother Dao, please stop being so mean.”

"Ha ha!"

There was a rustling sound in his ears, and the corners of Luo Chen's mouth couldn't help but raise.

 It was only in this half month that he realized that Min Longyu had actually given a Taoist name.

 In other words, Min Longyu may not even know that he has the nickname "Leizhenzi"!

This honorific title gradually spread after a long time after he left.

  Lay five thunders to blast the top of the formation, killing five monks of the same level with one person's power.

With such impressive achievements and the fact that he is an array mage, it is natural that some people will brag about him.

 Actually!

Luo Chen finally understood why when he came here, he found that the Luo Tianhui monks who had suffered a defeat showed no sign of decline.

 It can even be said that the mental state is far better than other forces.

 The whole reason stems from the night attack launched by the Flame Alliance on the Seventh Mountain.

In that night attack, the Four Sects Alliance suffered heavy losses.

 Many vassal forces suffered an astonishing 70% damage.

Comparatively speaking, less than half of Luo Tianhui's people died. Although some of the three major foundations in the club were seriously injured and some were missing, there were no casualties in the end.

Instead, he achieved the result of killing dozens of Qi-refining monks and killing five Foundation-building monks on the spot.

 According to subsequent rumors, among the people who chased Wang Yuan, two monks who were in the middle stage of foundation establishment also died.

With such glorious results, how can the Luo Tianhui monks not be proud and high-spirited?

 The defeat of Luotianhui was not a crime of war.

It was the decline of the general trend that caused them to retreat together.

 On the local battlefield, Luo Tianhui was actually victorious.

Of course, these details are only for the vassal forces like them to worry about, and the Four True Traditions naturally disdain them.

Luo Chen looked at the merit list for a while, showing little interest.

Except for the puppets, Hanguang Pills, and Foundation Establishment Pills provided by Luoyun Sect, he was not interested in other resources.

Perhaps other ordinary foundation-building monks will follow suit.

 But in front of his wealth, he is really not attractive.

"Since there is nothing particularly worthy of my interest, and there is nothing that will be of great benefit to Luo Tian. Then there is no need to use force on the battlefield to gain merit."

“When you see that the situation is not right, retreat immediately. This is the wise way to protect yourself!”

 This is the purpose of Luo Chen's study of the merit list.

Since he didn't come up with anything to tempt him, the combat strategy needs to be changed.

 It must be different from other forces.

 Because of his own reasons, the Ice Castle side will definitely treat him leniently, and no one will blame him for fishing.

 …

 The moon rises and the sun rises, and time passes.

 Soon, the next day came.

Woke up early in the morning, Luo Chen felt the state of his body and couldn't help but feel refreshed.

 Half a month passed, and he opened twenty ordinary acupoints one after another.

 In addition to the thirty-six large holes that were opened during the Qi refining period.

 In this way, fifty-six orifices were opened.

Although there have been no earth-shaking changes yet, he does feel a little different.

 That is spiritual power reserve and conversion efficiency!

 Dantian Qi Hai can actually be regarded as an acupoint in the human body, but due to its special location and the result of the practice, its volume is much larger than other acupoints.

And it is still being developed and expanded.

 Now that you have developed the ordinary acupoints, you can regard them as miniature versions of the Dantian.

These acupoints can store a large amount of ordinary spiritual power that has not been purified.

 In this way, the spiritual power reserve is increased!

 At the same time, because of these spare spiritual powers, the refining efficiency will be greatly improved during the operation of the technique.

"If I can open seven hundred and twenty acupoints, it will be almost equivalent to opening a second sea of ​​qi in the body!"

"My own spiritual power is seven or eight times more powerful than that of the same level. With the sixth level of the foundation building, I am not inferior to the later great monks. If all the seven hundred and twenty orifices are opened and the double sea of ​​​​qi is added, I am afraid that as soon as I enter the building With the seventh level of foundation, your spiritual power can surpass those of those with eight or nine levels of foundation building!”

“It’s even better to be comparable to the Dzogchen monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

Luo Chen couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about the future.

 This kind of improvement is no longer limited to the speed of cultivation.

  It will also intuitively affect his fighting methods.

 Sure enough, my previous decision was correct.

 Cultivation is a grind, and it takes time to endure.

 But at every step, he was able to draw parallels and learn from each other's strong points. He could not only move faster than others, but also be more solid than others!

 While he was daydreaming about the future.

The monks of Luo Tianhui have been dispatched one by one. Under the command of Duan Feng, they are inspecting magic weapons, talismans, seals and other preparations for battle.

 Even said that it is not just Luo Tianhui.

 The nearby Ice Castle Camp and the entire Golden Sand Floating Island seemed to have come to life.

 A series of noisy sounds came from all directions.

There are even more escaping lights, led by powerful foundation-building cultivators, flying out of the Golden Sand Floating Island and entering the range of thousands of miles of yellow sand.

 Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

 Suddenly!

 A squad of a hundred people flew towards Luo Tianhui.

Luo Chen saw this and stepped forward to greet him.

 “Are you all ready?”

Tantai Hao asked while looking at the one hundred monks from Luo Tianhui.

Although they are the monks from Douzhan Hall who were added later, they are all full of energy and have a fierce look on their faces.

 It can be seen that this is also a team that has experienced many battles.

"There is no problem." Luo Chen smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I have to rely on fellow Taoist Tantai to take care of me during this trip."

 “Well, let’s go then!”

Tantai Xun nodded and waved his hand.

Soon, the two teams merged into one team, but they were also clearly differentiated, male and female.

 It’s not just their side.

 At the Ice Castle Camp, four more teams quickly gathered together.

Compared to the total of only 200 people in Tantaixi, the other four teams all have as many as 300 or 400 people.

There are more than them here!

From this, it can also be seen that what Master Yin Yue said to Luo Chen was not false, and the Jueqing lineage was indeed weak.

"Set off!"

 A loud voice sounded.

Then thousands of monks, either riding magical weapons or riding clouds and fog, flew into the deserted land of thousands of miles of yellow sand, flying towards the nine high mountains in the center that are always shrouded in thunderclouds.

With the blessing of colorful spiritual powers, this large team of monks quickly merged with the large armies of monks from the other three sects.

Thousands of escaping lights merge together, the wind howls, and the clouds roll in.

　　If viewed from a distance.

Like mayflies emitting shimmering light, they are rushing towards the unknown world of life and death, where there is great terror!
