Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 401: In the prosperous Luotianhui, someone is causing trouble.

 After some study, Luo Chen put down "Escape from the Cage" with some regret.

 The secret technique given by Ailaoshan is indeed unique.

　　　 Pay attention to the body as a cage and the Qi as a golden elixir.

If you use the golden elixir to escape from the prison, you will be able to open the road from now on.

　　It is exactly in line with the saying, "When a golden elixir is swallowed, my fate is determined by me and not by God."

but!

 The key point here is that it is somewhat similar to the secret technique of Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation in Ice Castle.

 They all require the external force of elixirs to form golden elixir seeds in the body.

 The pre-steps for forming an elixir are very simple, as long as you have a suitable elixir.

 But the success rate is not that high.

 After forming the golden elixir, it is only a rudimentary golden elixir seed, and it will take a certain period of time to absorb enough spiritual energy to reach the true golden elixir state.

 It is far from comparable to what Suozhulian described as "having the characteristics of the golden elixir first, and once the elixir is formed, he is a genuine golden elixir master".

“It is said that no matter what method is used to form an elixir, it only involves whether it is easy or not, not the strength of the elixir. But from the current point of view, although the upper method to form an elixir is difficult, it is indeed much stronger than the lower method.”

“I don’t know what it will be like to form an elixir in Chinese and French methods.”

Luo Chen shook his head, put down "Removing the Fan Cage", and turned to study Qingdan Valley's "Hunyuan Method".

  After experiencing the two secret methods of dragon and phoenix calamity and escape from the prison, Luo Chen did not have high expectations for the Hunyuan method, which was also a method of destruction.

However, it’s always good to know more.

 What if there is some useful knowledge in it?

 In addition to studying the secret techniques of elixir formation, there are other things to do in daily life.

 He takes supplements to refine his body, is familiar with the transformation of Tianpeng's true body, and occasionally refines a large number of elixirs himself.

 His spiritual power has already been restored and he has begun to practice in an orderly manner.

  Time passed little by little in Luo Chen’s latent cultivation.

 …

 In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

　　A hundred miles away from where the Geng family once lived, in a barren mountain with no spirit.

 For some reason, there has been heavy fog since early this morning.

 Initially, just treat it as ordinary morning fog.

 But as the morning sun rose, the thick fog still lingered, and the monks hiding in it knew something was wrong.

 They tried to rush out, but found themselves trapped in a maze.

 Beyond the barren mountains.

Three figures stood quietly, all of them were true cultivators of Foundation Establishment!

If anyone gets close, they will find that these three people are obviously high-ranking people in the Luotian Club.

 Elder Min Longyu, Elder Luo Wang Su Xiaolin, and the master of Chuan Gong Hall Wang Yuan.

"For more than a year, there have been many thieves spying on our Luo Tianhui!"

“Thanks to Palace Master Wang’s many actions, we can ensure that I, Luo Tianhui, will be safe.”

"The monk in the barren mountain today is quite powerful, with enough to build a nine-level foundation. If it hadn't been for Elder Min's intervention, he would have been able to escape."

Su Xiaolin felt deeply about the power of Min Longyu's formation.

At the level of the fourth level of foundation building, after setting up the formation, it was possible to temporarily trap the great monk on the ninth level of foundation building and two monks in the middle stage of foundation building.

 Duanduan is incredible.

Min Longyu smiled.

 His progress in cultivation is considered fast among the Luotian Society.

 In less than twenty years, we have entered the middle stage of foundation building!

Except for the two foreign monks Chu Kui and Xu Huanzhen, the current level is higher than that of Wang Yuan, Duan Feng and others.

 But this is also a matter of course.

 After all, he had established the foundation several years earlier and was proficient in formations.

 It is not difficult to arrange some auxiliary practice formations tailored for yourself.

He said casually: "It is not my fault alone. Elder Su collected intelligence and discovered this person in advance, which gave me the opportunity to set up a large formation first. You should be the first to do this!"

Su Xiaolin waved his hands to show modesty.

“I am where I am today thanks to the Foundation Establishment Pills you redeemed from the battlefield.”

 He successfully built the foundation last year, ahead of Zhou Yuanli, Feng Xia, Yuan Xiaoyue and others.

 After establishing the foundation, he became more and more comfortable in commanding the Dou Zhan Palace and the intelligence department.

 Now, it is a big help to President Sima Huiniang.

Looking at Wang Yuan who remained motionless, Su Xiaolin asked: "Palace Master Wang, the enemy is quite strong. Do you need me to inform Palace Master Chu?"

Since the death of Sima Xian, Luo Chenzai has been holding the concurrent position of the head of Luo Tianhui Douzhan Hall.

But three years ago, Chu Kui joined Luo Tianhui.

 President Sima Huiniang made the decision "privately" after inspecting it for a period of time and appointed him as the master of the Dou Zhan Hall.

 This matter is subject to criticism below.

However, all the senior officials of Luotianhui unanimously approved it, and no one had any objections.

At any rate, he is a master of the ninth level of foundation building, and he is also a well-known leader of casual cultivators in Tianlan Immortal City. He has once fought against Master Jindan.

 It is more than enough to serve as the palace master of a second-rate force.

Facing his question, Wang Yuan shook his head.

Su Xiaolin was puzzled.

Wang Yuan shows no sign of taking action now, and he is not allowed to invite the master of Chu Kui in this palace.

 Is it just to trap the few casual cultivators inside and give them a warning?

 “Wait a moment!” Wang Yuan said calmly.

Su Xiaolin suppressed her curiosity and waited quietly.

 In fact, it didn’t take long.

In just a few minutes, a ray of cyan light arrived in the sky.

Wang Yuan raised his head, looked at the man and nodded slowly.

Subsequently, the escaping light broke straight into the formation shrouded in white clouds.

As he flew, the white mist continued to part, making way for a passage.

Su Xiaolin looked at this scene, and a thought vaguely appeared in his mind.

 “It turns out that the president has really come back!”

 “That person must be the president!”

“However, if he is the only one to take action, shall we just stand by and watch?”

 He did not ask this question.

Years of experience in the intelligence career have enabled him to develop the habit of asking less, talking less and doing more.

 He only needs to collect the information that the higher authorities want.

 As for what to do next, someone will naturally decide.

 However, he was still a little worried about letting the president face the enemy alone.

In such a mood, he could only focus on the barren mountains shrouded in white mist. As soon as he noticed something slightly wrong, he was ready to go in.

Even if you risk your life, you must protect the president!

 As he noticed, changes occurred in the mountain.

 The three enemies seemed to have noticed the change in formation, and they all charged outward.

At the same time, a huge thing suddenly appeared, looming in the white mist.

The moment this giant thing appeared, it waved out a large red light.

Wherever the red light passed, it actually contaminated all the white mist, turning it into layers of miasma, covering the two monks in the middle stage of foundation building.

In just a moment, there were screams.

 The other person was horrified when he saw this.

 His high level of strength allowed him to escape quickly.

 In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the maze with his sword.

As his figure appeared, Su Xiaolin's expression changed at the foot of the mountain.

 “No, let him escape!”

“Master Wang, should we take action to stop him?”

Wang Yuan did not answer his question.

 What answered him was a giant claw protruding from the depths of the white mist.

　　咻!

Facing that shocking claw, the great monk's complexion changed drastically, and he instantly activated the defensive measures he had prepared.

Brown-yellow light bloomed, and three mountain-like earth walls rose one after another.

 Three layers of soil defense talisman!

 This talisman’s defense is so strong that it cannot be broken except by the Golden Elixir monks!

 After unfolding this talisman, the great monks calmed down for a moment, and only then did they have enough energy to observe their attackers.

However, what he saw made him extremely surprised.

 “Monster?”

 “How could there be monster activities near Tianlan Fairy City?”

“No, it seems to be a third-level monster!”

Just when he was shocked, that shocking claw had already touched the three-layered earth garrison giant wall.

 Poof!

 Poof!

 Poof!

Like a knife cutting through tofu, in front of this claw, the so-called three-layer defense talisman was shattered in the blink of an eye.

 But the power of this claw has not been cut off yet.

　　It was directly grasped on the body of the great monk.

　　Boom!

With such violent force, it could be blasted several miles away with just one blow.

At this point, the giant claw slowly retracted.

Su Xiaolin opened his mouth and eyes wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.

Faintly, he seemed to see a third-level demon king from the depths of the Million Mountains in the Eastern Wasteland.

 When you are quiet, you swallow clouds and spit out mist. When moving, a thunderous strike.

 But how is this possible?

"That man is not dead. Go and arrest him. Bring him back to Luo Tian, ​​where he will be interrogated and squeeze out as much value as possible from him."

 Wang Yuan’s faint instructions came to my ears.

Su Xiaolin suppressed the excitement in her heart and hurriedly ran towards the direction where the great monk fell.

When he arrived, he saw an unconscious middle-aged man lying in a huge pit.

Looking at the horrifying sight of the dent between the opponent's chest and abdomen, Su Xiaolin couldn't help but swallowed.

“That is definitely not the third-level demon king!”

“In other words, is it some kind of powerful means by the president?”

“However, this is too strong. One blow caused the great monk on the ninth floor of the foundation to lose the ability to move!”

"That's right! The president is the one who killed the Golden Core Elder of the Flame Alliance head-on. He only built nine levels of foundation, how can he compete with the bright moon?"

 In a short period of time, he went from shocked and confused to completely convinced of Luo Chen's strength.

 This kind of psychological change is not unpleasant.

 Only Luo Chen's invincible experience over the years can support Su Xiaolin's confidence in him.

 …

 In the barren mountains, the clouds and mist are gradually closing.

Luo Chen stepped out and looked at the two people with a smile.

 “President!” Min Longyu put away the formation disk and bowed respectfully.

"Well, that's good! I've never seen you use this formation before." Luo Chen praised with a smile.

Min Longyu smiled slightly, "Actually, the formation I used was just a variation of the formation I used in the battle at Gaolingyuan."

“Oh, it feels a bit familiar.”

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

Although he was not involved in the battle at Gaolingyuan, he heard about it later.

That formation does indeed have a tracking function.

If Min Longyu hadn't secretly released the water, it would have been difficult for the monks of the Luo Tianhui to break out quickly.

“You are becoming more and more proficient with this Tianpeng avatar, and you can even hold back your strength to save that person’s life.” Wang Yuan said with emotion.

 It can be retracted and released freely, showing your accomplishments!

Luo Chen stopped and looked back at the barren mountains behind him.

But he said in his mouth: "This depends on your suggestions, otherwise I wouldn't be able to master these methods so quickly."

Wang Yuan shook his head.

 He just made some suggestions and gave some improvement methods.

 What really worked was Luo Chen’s own painstaking research.

Withdrawing his gaze, Luo Chen frowned: "It's been a year, why are there still so many casual cultivators who are interested in the secret technique of knotting pills?"

Min Longyu took over the conversation and said: "After all, it is something related to the road, and no one will be unmoved."

Luo Chen shook his head firmly, "It's definitely not that simple!"

Min Longyu was startled.

On the other hand, Wang Yuan, after pondering at the side, said calmly: "It's really not that simple. Chu Kui's secret technique of exchanging pills was already secret. On the way back to Tianlan, we all ran through the starry night, and our whereabouts were basically not exposed. No. There is the potential for massive leaks.”

“Perhaps someone inferred it based on the instantaneous disappearance of our merit points from the merit list?” Min Longyu made some amends.

However!

 At this, both Luo Chen and Wang Yuan shook their heads.

 At that time, the God Transformation Ruins were open, and everyone’s attention was focused on the God Transformation Ruins.

If Ling Yuzhi hadn't known Chu Kui, she wouldn't have found them so quickly.

 Furthermore, it was clear that the armistice was about to begin.

Many vassal forces are squandering the accumulated merit points to exchange for what they need.

Luo Tianhui's merit exchange, although a bit loud, is only slightly out of the ordinary among all the forces.

 There is currently no solution to this problem.

Luo Chen clapped his hands and said, "Let's go back to Danxia Peak. Next time you encounter a difficult enemy, please inform me early so that I can use these people to practice my skills and familiarize myself with the new fighting style."

 At this point, he smiled and said to Wang Yuan: "I'm kind of stealing your job."

Wang Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't take it seriously.

He is currently stuck at the bottleneck of understanding and transforming energy, and fighting alone is no longer effective.

Years of accumulation have allowed him to master the secret energy on the battlefield, and even get a glimpse of the level of Hua Jin.

 But now, the accumulation has been exhausted, and what is needed is to re-accumulate the foundation.

His current focus is on the "Convergence of Ten Thousand Daos" that Luo Chen gave him.

If you can learn the essence of it and apply it to your own body-refining methods, you might be able to transform your energy into a powerful one and achieve Danjin in one fell swoop!

As the three of them stepped forward, they soon passed the former Geng family land.

 Now, this spiritual land has been rented by Luo Tianhui and has become a spiritual beast breeding base.

 The main focus is on the breeding of silkworms and spiritual animals.

Over the years, under the auspices of Sima Huiniang and Xu Huanzhen, the breeding of some first-order monster beasts with high meat production has been expanded.

 At present, the Spirit Beast Hall has become one of the important sources of income for the Luo Tianhui.

Luo Chen spread his spiritual consciousness and felt it a little, and couldn't help but show satisfaction.

 After passing the spirit beast breeding base, Min Longyu spoke curiously when he saw Luo Chen still walking with them.

“President, are you going back to Danxia Peak today?”

"Well, please don't make any noise later. I'll just go in quietly." Luo Chen paused and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I'll pick someone up from get off work by the way."

Min Longyu's expression froze, and he faintly smelled a little sour smell.

 …

"How did you come?"

 “Take you home.”

Sima Huiniang was startled, and then asked: "You want to go to my place tonight?"

"It's not impossible." Luo Chen sat lazily on a chair and brought a bamboo slip over with a casual move.

"It's like I'm forcing you." Sima Huiniang snorted, lowered her head and looked at the information on the desk, and said softly: "Wait a moment, I can go back after reading the information submitted by Su Xiaolin. ”

 “Well, it’s up to you.”

Luo Chen nodded and his eyes fell on the contents of the bamboo slips.

The things written above happen to be areas that Luo Chen is familiar with.

 Elixir business!

 After reading for a while, Luo Chen frowned.

“Isn’t Zheng Tianfang from the Rolling Dragon’s Backbone Zheng family dead? Currently, the Zheng family only has two foundation-building cultivators. Why haven’t we captured their market share after several years?”

Sima Huiniang raised her head and smoothed the hair hanging at the corner of her mouth.

“It’s not that simple. Something is very wrong with the Zheng family recently!”

"Um?"

Sima Huiniang's face looked a little solemn, "According to my previous plan, I planned to take advantage of the heavy losses of the vassal forces of various sects to annex some small forces and expand our business scope."

“The initial process went quite smoothly, especially with the intelligence support of you and Chu Kui. Even the mining business that Tiejiantang was responsible for was swallowed up by us and Rakshafang City.”

Tie Jian Tang leader Zuo Song died at the hands of Luo Chen!

This information is locked in the ruins of the God Transformation, and many people don’t know it.

Luo Tianhui, led by Sima Huiniang, quietly launched the annexation, catching the opponent by surprise.

With no leader, the Luo family from Rakshafang City cooperated, and the annexation process went very smoothly.

 But the Zheng family, which seems to be weaker, is stuck!

“According to Luowang’s intelligence, there are many outside foundation-building cultivators within the Zheng family, and the total number is no less than five. Unless I, Luo Tian, ​​will launch a massive attack, it will be difficult to deal with them quietly.”

 It is impossible to go to war!

 At present, the two Nascent Soul Sects only have a secret truce, but the real truce covenant has not yet been reached.

In this case, no vassal force dared to attack the vassal forces under each sect with great fanfare.

 Too sensitive!

 To do this kind of thing, you have to do it quietly.

 Furthermore, it is best not to work alone, but to work together with allies to share the pressure.

Luo Chen was surprised, "There is an extra group of foundation-building cultivators? Strange!"

The Zheng family’s elixir business is pretty good, but it’s just good.

Just like Luo Tianhui did at the beginning, it can only support the consumption of two or three foundation building cultivation at most.

It is simply impossible to support more foundation-building cultivation, and the so-called hiring of worshipers is naturally impossible.

 It’s a bit strange to see so many people there now.

Just as he was thinking, there were rapid footsteps outside the hall.

Sima Huiniang glanced at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen nodded, indicating that there was no need to avoid suspicion.

After a while, people outside were notified and stepped in.

“President, I learned from the monk I just captured... President?”

Su Xiaolin looked at Luo Chen in surprise and bowed quickly.

The other party's appearance here is both unexpected and reasonable.

Luo Chen nodded, "What information did you get? Can you tell me?"

Su Xiaolin looked solemn, "It's about the secret technique of forming pills! According to the outsider cultivator, the news that we, Luo Tianhui, can redeem the four secret techniques in one fell swoop has been widely publicized!"

Sima Huiniang's face changed slightly and she slapped her hand on the desk.

"who is it?"

Luo Chen also looked slightly gloomy, staring at Su Xiaolin.

 Under the gaze of the two men, Su Xiaolin felt a huge pressure.

 He spoke out two words with difficulty.

 “Yanmeng!”
