Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 377 Pursuit and counter-pursuit, who is the prey and who is the hunter!

 Whether the Four Sects are crazy or not, Luo Chen doesn’t know.

But Luo Chen knew that all the vassal forces under the four sects, and even the casual cultivators and foundation builders who were wandering around here, were all crazy.

 Each of the four sects has a secret elixir-forming technique, which is grand and generous.

For countless monks who have no way to form alchemy and are stuck in the late stage of foundation building, this is tantamount to opening a door to the sky!

Even if monks in the early or middle stages of foundation building seem to have no urgent needs, who wouldn’t want to make preparations in advance?

Luo Chen looked at the four copies of the Secret Pill Formation Technique above. The corresponding amount of merit points exchanged was also marked on the back of each copy.

 The highest one is none other than the secret technique of forming elixirs produced by the Luo Yun Sect - Bead Locking Curtain.

To redeem this technique, you need a full 10,000 merit points!

  The next thing is the secret technique of forming an elixir with three sects in parallel, which only requires 2,000 merit points.

The Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation of the Ice Castle is also among them.

Luo Chen himself possesses this technique, and even the two third-level elixirs required for this technique have already been prepared.

Juxtaposed with it, it can be seen that the other two are not much better.

But even so, for foundation-building monks who are not the true disciples of the great sect, even the secret technique of forming pills is very rare.

Now, the four sects have directly opened the door to generosity.

With the exchange channels nakedly placed in front of them, who wouldn’t be tempted?

 At least Luo Chen, who already possesses a secret skill, has his eyes fixed on the "Bead Lock Curtain".

 “President, we...”

Duan Feng’s voice came to my ears.

Luo Chen came back to his senses and looked at Duan Feng, whose eyes were filled with longing.

 He turned his face sideways and found that Xu Huanzhen was breathing extremely rapidly.

 The higher the realm, the more eager you are for the secret art of elixir formation!

He even said that not only them, but also the thousands of casual cultivators surrounding the huge stone monument were all very excited at this moment.

There are even people who don’t want to rest at all, but want to fight back to the battlefield of Jileijiu Mountain again.

“No wonder during the previous rotation, it felt like the number of monks was several percent more than before.”

“I think this is a newcomer who rushed to the battlefield excitedly after receiving the news.”

While Luo Chen was muttering, he accidentally caught a glimpse of several monks on the ninth floor of the foundation building, talking solemnly and leaving.

 He swallowed and forced himself to calm down.

 How great the benefits are, how great the risks are!

 Once the secret techniques of the four major elixir formations are revealed, all the vassal forces and casual cultivators in the four sect alliances will go crazy.

 This side is going crazy, and there is no way the Jianzong side will not react.

 This means that the intensity of the war will continue to increase.

Looking at the excited two people beside him, Luo Chen calmly shouted: "Go back and rest first!"

 Xu Huanzhen and Duan Feng looked at each other, but they did not dare to object to their words.

 Wait until you return to the station.

 The news has already spread, and even the monks in the Qi Refining Stage of Luo Tianhui are discussing the matter enthusiastically.

Luo Chen calmly pulled Xu Duan and Xu Duan into the room.

 “Don’t be carried away by the secret technique of elixir formation!”

Xu Huazhen swallowed, "But, there is also the secret technique of forming elixirs in it!"

Luo Chen frowned, "Then why don't you look at the corresponding merit points required?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Huanzhen froze instantly, and his excitement gradually dissipated.

He opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he sighed.

It is also!

 The points required are too many.

The rules for obtaining merit points formulated by the four sect alliances are very simple and crude.

 For ordinary garrison and defense tasks, the merit value is extremely low.

 Patrols, sentries, intelligence gathering, etc. are relatively high, but they are few and far between.

 There is only one way to get a large amount of merit points.

 Kill the enemy!

 You can get ten merit points by killing a person in the Qi refining stage.

 Killing one person in the early stage of foundation building will get you 100 merit points.

 You can get two hundred by killing one person in the middle stage of foundation building.

 Only those who kill those in the late stage of foundation building can directly receive 500 merit points!

In other words, if you want to redeem the secret techniques of the three sects, you have to kill two hundred Qi refining period, or twenty early foundation building, ten middle foundation building, or four late foundation building monks!

 This is really difficult.

Luo Tianhui had been stationed for two years before, but he could only collect 700 merit points.

Most of them were obtained by luck after Min Longyu killed five early-stage foundation-building monks with his formation.

 Now these merit points are only 100 due to the exchange of Foundation Establishment Pills.

 This shows that it is difficult to obtain merit points.

This is just the secret technique of forming elixirs.

If you want to exchange for the "Bead-locking Curtain" secret technique provided by Luoyun Sect, you have to increase it five times on this basis!

This is simply not something that can be achieved through foundation-building cultivation.

 One person can kill hundreds of people in the early stage of foundation building, or twenty people in the late stage of foundation building?

 The one who can do this must be Master Jindan!

 But here comes the problem.

They are all masters of the golden elixir, so who cares about the art of forming elixirs?

Furthermore, the exchange rules also restrict that only people with Jindan or below and other than four sect monks can participate in the exchange of such merits.

This alone blocked the way for the first-rate Jindan Master to obtain the secret technique of elixir formation through war.

 Looking at the two dejected people.

 Luo Chen shook his head.

 “I am not tempted, but people must be self-aware and learn to act within their capabilities.”

“You didn’t notice just now that even the late-stage foundation-building monks who are in urgent need of the secret of elixir formation all have solemn expressions.”

“One of you has built a three-level foundation, and the other has built a six-level foundation. It will take hundreds of years to form the core, so why are you in such a hurry?”

Housed by his words.

 Xu Duan and his wife came to their senses.

 The temptation of a higher realm just now really made them lose their temper.

Perhaps, only this kind of resources can make countless foundation-building cultivators lose their usual composure!

 In order to comfort the two of them, Luo Chen even released the news in advance that he had become the guest elder of Ice Castle.

 They were both surprised.

 Luo Chen spoke bluntly.

“Once the war is over, with the help of my status as a major guest, it will not be a problem at all to collect the secret technique of forming pills.”

“You all just need to practice well and improve your level of cultivation!”

In this way, the two of them completely gave up those thoughts that they shouldn't have.

 After seeing off the two of them.

Luo Chen couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

  Just as he said, he was not moved.

 But there are some things that you must be self-aware of!

Luo Chen has evaluated his current strength. It is not a problem to crush the foundation in the early stage, and the monks in the mid-term are no match for him.

Even if the great monk is in front of him, he is confident that he can defeat him one on one.

No matter how bad things get, there is always the ability to protect oneself.

 But if he were to slaughter more than ten or twenty late-stage foundation-builders on the battlefield, it would be a fantasy.

Even if he lets his hands and feet go hunting down early-stage and mid-stage monks, he will easily arouse the covetousness of stronger ones.

You must know that the evaluation of merit points is not just a reference to the realm.

For example, the several monks listed in each sect who are good at thunder magic must be treated as great monks even if they are only in the middle stage of foundation building.

Luo Chen didn’t want his head to become the target of others’ covetousness.

“The four sect alliances have used such resources to push their vassals and casual cultivators to fight for their lives!”

“It seems that the Luoyun Sect is bound to win this civil war.”

“Otherwise, we wouldn’t have convinced the other three sects to come up with the secret technique of forming pills. Even if it’s just the secret technique of forming pills that most of the sects don’t like.”

 But this way.

The foundation-building monks who could barely control their casualties before were afraid that they would easily end up in a desperate situation during the battle.

The weaker late-stage Qi Refining monks are more likely to become hunting targets in the eyes of Foundation Establishment monks.

 Ten thousand merit points are only the life of a thousand Qi refining period monks.

As long as the great monks in the later stage of foundation building can show shame and ruthlessly harvest, they can always get it together!

 Fortunately, Luo Chen is now the elder of Ice Castle Guest Minister.

He has Luo Tianhui under his command, and they probably won’t be needed in the war to come.

 After half a year, just leave directly.

 Otherwise, Luo Tianhui, a mere one hundred people, would not be able to bear the trouble.

 After some thinking.

 Luo Chen thoroughly weighed the pros and cons.

 Soon, there was a sudden movement in my heart.

“Next, everyone’s attention should be focused on the battlefield.”

“Can I take the opportunity to go to the Ninth Mountain to search for Wang Yuan’s whereabouts?”

 He took out a piece of sound transmission jade and fell into deep thought.

 Before Wang Yuan set out, he himself gave him a piece of jade that could transmit messages to each other within a thousand miles.

The Ninth Mountain is not very big. As long as you spend some time and be careful, you should be able to contact the other party.

 …

JiLei Nine Mountains have stood on this land of thousands of miles of quicksand for thousands of years. The other eight mountains are still places that ordinary Qi Refining monks can set foot on.

 But Jiushan is completely different!

 There is too much thunder power accumulated inside, thunderstorms occur from time to time, and the internal environment is even more complicated.

Even ordinary foundation-building monks dare not go deep into it.

When picking Lei Ying every year, only Jianzong Jindan can go there in person to succeed.

When the war broke out, the remaining eight mountains became the center of attack and defense, but the ninth mountain was not at all among the goals of the two Yuanying Sects.

 This day.

 A shadowy figure flew from the yellow sand in the sky in the distance.

 At the foot of the mountains, the figure stopped.

Luo Chen looked back and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, as he expected, everyone's attention is now focused on war killings and hunting for merit points.

　　Not so many people pay attention to it except for the Ninth Mountain, which is the main battlefield.

“Next, enter this mountain and carefully look for Wang Yuan’s traces.”

"According to the intelligence gathered by all parties, Wang Yuan last appeared half a month ago between the Ninth Mountain and the Seventh Mountain. He is suspected of wanting to leave the mountain?"

“But in the end, for some unknown reason, he returned to the interior of the Ninth Mountain.”

While muttering to himself, Luo Chen took out a piece of jade.

Injecting a spiritual sound transmission into it, there was no response, like a mud cow entering the sea.

 “Isn’t it still within the scope?”

Luo Chen pursed his lips, gathered his breath and quietly escaped into the mountains.

 …

 The deeper you go into the mountain, the more the internal environment of the Ninth Mountain is significantly different from that of the other eight mountains.

Traces of vegetation appear, and second-level lightning-struck trees abound.

 Even in the shallow layers of the mountains, there are rare ores with thunder attributes appearing.

 And in a dense forest.

 Three figures looked at each other with gloomy expressions.

 There were many quarrels in their conversations.

"Kuchan, we have done our best to help you reach this point. Now, let's stop!"

 A monk in the middle stage of foundation building said slowly.

 Another man wearing a blue robe also had a look of fear on his face.

“What kind of grudge do you have against him? Brother Chu and I cannot provoke such a strong person.”

 The one he called Brother Chu was the mid-term monk who first proposed to give up.

He said bitterly: "It was obviously the five of us who chased him into the Ninth Mountain. Later, you also called in three comrades who were in the early stage of foundation building to help. But in just a few months, the situation reversed, and he started hunting instead. We. As of now, only the three of us with the highest cultivation level are left."

Hearing these words, the green-robed monk's face trembled, as if he remembered something terrible.

 The two of them looked at Kuchan subconsciously, waiting for him to make a decision.

The face of the Chinese character, thick eyebrows, and purple robe. The old man who should have been dignified and domineering, but became particularly infiltrated because of the pustule on his face.

This is Ku Chan, a late-stage foundation-building monk from the Yan League!

As long as he doesn't say anything, these two people have received benefits before and cannot leave.

Ku Chan looked at the two of them coldly, looking at them like a hawk.

 “You don’t want to do it anymore?”

 The two monks who were in the middle stage of foundation building nodded quickly.

 “It’s better to leave!”

“The war is raging outside, and that’s where we can show our strength. If we are tied here, we will only be eaten alive by Wang Yuan!”

The monk surnamed Chu said without thinking.

 He paused, as if he wanted to persuade the other party, and then added a few words.

“We have all underestimated Wang Yuan. Although his realm is only at the second level of foundation building, his abilities are not at the level of immortality at all.”

Ku Chan nodded, and the old voice said something that made the two of them feel like listening to the sounds of nature.

“Indeed, we underestimated him.”

“He is different from us. In this violent spiritual environment, relying on his strong body, he is like a fish in water.”

"Even if I am at the seventh level of foundation building, I have to be careful when fighting him."

  If the thunderstorms that occur from time to time are not considered in the Ninth Mountain, the natural environment is better than the outside world.

 But it’s only so good.

This place is rich in spiritual energy, but extremely violent.

 Ordinary foundation-building cultivators cannot rely on running skills to restore spiritual energy here, and can only rely on pills.

 But after a few months, there were not many pills left in their hands.

 But Wang Yuan was completely different. His abilities were superior to his body.

Logically speaking, physical training is not suitable for long-term combat.

 However, this person's Qi and blood are extremely powerful and terrifying. As the months go by, instead of showing signs of weakness, he becomes stronger and stronger.

 Under constant hunting, Dry Toad and his party continued to reduce in number.

 To chase, to be chased.

 The so-called eight versus one, the advantage was theirs. Now it has become three versus one, but no one is confident that they still have the advantage.

The monk surnamed Chu said in surprise: "So..."

The corner of Kuchan's mouth twitched, "If you want to leave, that's fine, I won't stop you."

The monks surnamed Chu and the green-robed monks looked at each other with joy.

Just as he was about to leave, he hesitated and stopped.

 “Aren’t you going to come with us?”

Kuchan shook his head, "No, I must kill him and take revenge!"

 Speaking of this, he looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

“Could it be that you don’t dare to leave on your own?”

The monk surnamed Chu swallowed his saliva, with a look of fear in his eyes.

If the three of them left together, Wang Yuan would definitely have nothing to do with them.

But if you leave alone, wouldn't this create a situation where you have to defeat them one by one?

The monk in green robe next to him gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to accompany you anyway! Brother Chu, you and I are traveling together. No matter how strong he is, he won't dare to come to us head-on!"

The monk surnamed Chu thought for a while and decided not to delay any longer.

After saying sorry to Kuchan, the two of them carefully controlled the magic weapon and flew quickly out of the mountain close to the ground.

Behind them, Dry Toad's eyes were cold and he uttered two words imperceptibly.

 “Idiot!”

 After finishing speaking, there was a sudden movement in my heart, and I looked in a direction a hundred miles away.

“Sure enough, I’m here. I won’t let you go, and you won’t let me go.”

 “Then let’s fight to the death!”

With a movement of his body, the withered toad retreated instead of advancing, flying towards the depths of the ninth mountain.

 At the moment he left.

 A shrill scream came from outside.

"Brother Chu, how could you..."

“Fellow Taoist, I’m going to take the first step. Today you are severing your family for me, and I will definitely take care of your descendants!”

 In a dense forest.

The green-robed monk had transparent holes all over his body that were the size of fingers. Looking from the front, you could even see the light from behind.

 A figure, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with black hair hanging behind him without any wind.

 A pair of black eyes, fierce and domineering.

 He looked at the monk surnamed Chu who had escaped a hundred feet away, and pointed his finger like a sword.

Infinite energy and blood intertwined, forming an indescribable energy.

next moment!

 Just point it out!

The monk surnamed Chu, who was running away like crazy, seemed to have taken precautions. He immediately drew a talisman and his top-grade defensive robes were bulging to the extreme.

 Poof!

That **** energy penetrated the talisman mask, penetrated the defensive robes, and gently touched the back of the monk surnamed Chu.

 The feeling of numbness passed by in a flash.

 It's like being bitten by a mosquito.

The monk surnamed Chu was overjoyed!

 Sure enough, beyond a certain distance, physical training methods are not that useful.

 The man's blood and energy were invincible, and no defensive weapon could stop him.

　　When it hits a person, it explodes instantly. It is not something that a monk in the late stage of foundation building can resist.

 But now, he is blocking it.

 “I’m sorry, Brother Lin.”

 “I’m a dead Taoist friend, I’m not a dead Taoist, but Chu is taking the first step!”

The escaping light accelerated again, and after a few flickers, it disappeared from the eyes of the monk in linen clothes.

Wang Yuan retracted his hand and glanced at him coldly, as if he didn't care about his life or death at all.

Handily took off the green-robed monk's storage bag, turned around, and looked in one direction following an inexplicable feeling.

 That old dog runs very fast!

 But if I don’t kill you, I, the king, will have trouble sleeping and eating!

With a sharp look in his eyes, he took a step forward and was five feet away.

With continuous steps, his figure disappeared deep into the ninth mountain in an instant.
