Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 452: Lay the foundation, build nine floors, the ice castle is damaged in the battle, Chu Kui invites

 As for the pill formation, Luo Chen showed full confidence in front of Sima Huiniang.

However, is this really the case?

 The answer is, no!

 Although Luo Chen’s preparations before forming the elixir were good enough.

Whether it’s the traditional three treasures of spirit, energy, or spirit, or secret techniques, or elixirs, he’s already fully prepared.

However, as the real watershed realm that divides low-level and high-level monks in the world of immortality, the Golden Elixir Stage is not so easy to guess.

Those Yuanying Sects that have been passed down for thousands of years have given their disciples a complete set of systematic exercises from the beginning, and they can reach the Yuanying level by practicing Qi.

 During this process, there are also supporting secret techniques, elixirs, spiritual places, guidance from teachers and other supports.

 But even so, I haven’t seen the Jindan monks walking around in Shangzong!

 On the contrary, there are many losers.

Even some great Taoists have occasionally heard news of unfortunate elixir-forming failures over the past thousands of years.

  Does the Golden Elixir Sect not provide the best alchemy allocation resources for the most important Taoist disciple?

 Obviously impossible.

Hence, no one dares to say that it is 100% certain when it comes to pill formation.

Luo Chen acted so confidently and confidently just to please Sima Huiniang.

 If he doesn’t have faith, how can anyone else maintain faith in him?

 …

 After returning to Tianlan Peak Cave, the first thing Luo Chen did was not to practice, but to heal his injuries.

 The injuries sustained by Daxueshan and his party may seem minor on the surface, but they are actually quite serious.

 It was not an injury caused by being beaten, but a lack of vitality caused by his excessive use of various methods.

 This vitality can be reflected in various aspects such as depletion of spiritual energy, exhaustion of spirit and soul, and weakness of body.

 These things cannot be easily restored in the wilderness.

 So Luo Chen rushed home in a hurry.

 After returning home, the first thing Luo Chen did was take a long nap, which lasted for three days and three nights.

 When he woke up, feeling refreshed, he began to recover from his injuries.

After Sun Sifang passed away, the "Fanghua Sutra" left behind played a great role in this process.

There are several prescriptions for restoring vitality recorded on it, and the effect is far superior to the enhanced version of the Peiyuan Spiritual Liquid prepared by Luo Chen himself.

Luo Chen chose the "Thousand Gold Prescription" which was the most expensive but also had the best effect, to restore his body, which was more valuable than a thousand gold.

besides.

Sima Huiniang also began to send various monsters to Luo Chen regularly.

 Mostly first-order, and occasionally second-order.

The only, no, or the only requirement is that it needs to be big and live!

 The larger the monster, the stronger its vitality!

 Luo Chen used the withering fire to slightly cruelly refine these living monsters, thereby taking away the vitality in them.

Even if the bulk of it is absorbed by the Withering Fire, he himself can still get 23/10 of it.

 After receiving an increasingly strong injection of vitality.

 Luo Chen's physical recovery ability has also become stronger and stronger.

If Luo Chen's previous body had the third level of ancient times, it could be regarded as an indestructible steel plate.

 That represents his absolute toughness.

 But sometimes, being strong, hard, and rigid does not mean that it is the best.

 Once injured, recovery is quite troublesome.

The reason why Luo Chen slowly began to practice medicine in addition to alchemy was because his body recovered extremely slowly after being injured.

 But with the absorption of a large amount of vitality, his body has an inner "softness" in addition to its rigidity.

 Inside the cave.

Luo Chen slowly withdrew his hand as he watched a second-level monster bear, which was two feet tall, turn into ashes as it screamed in pain.

 His face showed a thoughtful look.

“It is rumored that there were a large number of wild beasts and ancient beasts in the ancient world of mountains and seas. Although these existences do not take the form of monsters, they still have powerful powers.”

“Chasing the stars and the moon, destroying mountains and seas are just one of them, there is also the mystery of reorganizing broken limbs and rebirth with a drop of blood.”

“If I absorb enough vitality and let my body’s recovery ability reach the level of an ancient wild beast, can I be reborn with a drop of blood?”

This idea seems a bit whimsical.

  But it is not without basis.

Take a monk as an example. The higher the realm, the stronger the life-saving ability.

If it reaches the Nascent Soul stage, the Nascent Soul will not be destroyed and the monk will not die.

 In a sense, it is similar to the rebirth of a monster with a drop of blood.

“However, if I want to reach the point where I can be reborn with blood, I’m afraid it will be a drop in the bucket just by relying on the little bit of vitality I have plundered now.”

 “What about the cut-off finger?”

 On Luo Chen's attribute panel, there is always a third-level spell "Intercepting Finger".

 This technique originated from Li Jinhuang.

It is infinitely magical and can intercept a ray of vitality from a monk and allow it to exist in the world for a period of time.

 From decline to prosperity, and then at the peak of prosperity, a short-lived flower appears and falls.

 This kind of intercepted vitality cannot be absorbed.

But if you use the original true fire, the withered glory fire, can it be absorbed into yourself to a greater extent, instead of being absorbed by the withered glory fire?

Fantasy is beautiful, but when it comes to practice, there are many obstacles.

Luo Chen failed after several experiments.

 He gradually gave up on this idea, and instead focused on using the Withering Fire to absorb the vitality of the monsters.

 Under this daily routine.

Luo Chen's vitality became stronger and stronger, and his injuries recovered faster and faster.

 Originally it was estimated that it would take two or three years to return to peak condition, but it only took half a year for Luo Chen to regain his peak appearance!

Even once, Gu Caiyi came to see him and was surprised to find that there were a few more black hairs on his gray hair.

 The good news is that this is not the only one.

 The "Eternal Youth Sutra" which he deduced after completing the "Yi Mu Yao Wang Sutra", finally reached the level of proficiency in Dzogchen after many years with great difficulty.

 After this technique is perfected, it can no longer be deduced.

 In the final analysis, "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" is just the foundation building method of the latter.

 Luo Chen is lucky enough to be able to use the system to complete it.

 Dzogchen's "Eternal Youth Sutra", in addition to its early spiritual power nourishing the body, spiritual consciousness capturing external spiritual energy, and opening up the meridians and cleansing the marrow, it has another effect.

 In other words, it’s not about adding more, but about strengthening!

During his Qi refining period, the automatic Qi recovery effect that came with the master level of "Changchun Gong" was suddenly enhanced!

 The effect of automatic air return is now ten times greater than before!

Now Luo Chen releases a powerful spell. As long as he is in a place full of spiritual energy, Luo Chen does not have to do anything, and the consumption can be replenished instantly.

 Even a land with barren aura can recover a lot automatically.

 In this way, the problem of Luo Chen’s battle endurance is solved.

 It’s a bit strange to say.

 The Withering Fire refines vitality, making Luo Chen's physical recovery ability stronger.

 The "Sutra of Immortality and Evergreen" was completed, which strengthened Luo Chen's spiritual energy recovery ability.

These two changes did not help much in his cultivation progress, but they allowed him to achieve a breakthrough in his fighting ability.

 If you want to go to the Snowy Mountains again.

 He believes he can do better!

 “It’s better not to come!”

 When Luo Chen sighed, he laughed at himself.

 He doesn’t want to get involved in too many battles now.

 At the moment, his most important thing is to practice.

 Let’s first cultivate the realm step by step to the ninth level of foundation building!

 Luo Chen made a plan.

 In the next few years, I will not care about anything or participate in any external affairs. I will only do two things.

 Cultivation, alchemy.

 Daily practice should not be neglected. The benefits in the short term will not be seen, and in the long term they will still be on top of swallowing pills.

 As for alchemy, Luo Chen planned to build the ninth level of the foundation.

He plans to refine all the Jade Dew Pills that Ice Castle will need in the future, as well as the top-quality Blood-increasing Pills, top-quality Dust-falling Pills, and Tongyou Pills that he will use for his future cultivation, all in one go.

 At that time, there will be no need to consider refining elixirs.

 You only need to concentrate on things related to practice and breakthrough realms.

　　The days passed slowly in this water-like flow of time.

In the first year, Luo Chen refined all the Jade Dew Pills that Ice Castle would need for the next twenty years.

 In the second year, the third year, and two consecutive years, he refined all the top-quality blood-increasing pills and dust-reducing pills he needed for his practice.

As for his improved second-level Tongyou Dan, he also brushed his proficiency to the Great Perfection level during daily refining.

 Then in one breath, a large batch was made.

Such a large-scale alchemy project naturally consumes huge amounts of resources.

Luo Tianhui has spent seven or eighty-eight percent of the spiritual stones he earned in the past few years.

Not only that, even the blood essence and blood of the foundation-building monks left behind by the Blood Demon Xuanyu were all consumed by him.

 This is also the reason why he stopped refining the best blood-increasing pill.

 The raw materials are gone!

But even so, the top-quality blood-increasing pills he has on hand are enough for him to practice to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment in one go.

 After everything was ready, Luo Chen really entered into the arduous practice of purification.

 Don’t see outsiders and pay no attention to worldly affairs.

 …

 It is difficult to keep it for a year, but it is easy to be damaged in time.

 Ching Xiu always forgets the years.

Time flies, and ten years have passed leisurely since Luo Chen returned to Tianlan from the Snowy Mountains.

 This day.

In Cave No. 17 on Tianlan Peak.

 Suddenly there was a roaring sound.

Hearing this voice, Bai Meiling, who had already awakened from the soul-nurturing flag, immediately flew back to the cave.

 “Master, have you achieved a breakthrough?”

  In the living room.

Luo Chen, who had just finished washing and looked brand new, was wearing a loose gown and nodded to her with a smile. When Bai Meiling saw this, she couldn't help but feel happy, "Congratulations to the master for your diligent conduct and your golden elixir stage is just around the corner!"

Luo Chen accepted the compliment with a smile.

 Indeed, the golden elixir period is just around the corner!

 The eighth to ninth level of foundation building is the longest stage among all his realms.

 It took him more than twenty years!

 Such a long time has really brought him huge benefits.

 He finally laid a solid foundation for the previous emptiness.

Not only that, on the basis of the original, he sorted out his own state and made breakthroughs in the three treasures of spirit, energy and spirit.

Now, not only does he have a physique comparable to that of a third-level ancient monster, but his aura is also more powerful than those who have completed the Foundation Establishment.

As for the foundation of the soul, after experiencing two inner demons, one torture, one interrogation, many small realm breakthroughs, and continuous daily use of Tongyou Pill, it has reached an unimaginable level.

 At this moment, he is building the ninth floor of the foundation.

However, his spiritual soul foundation not only surpasses those who have perfected the Foundation Establishment, but even gives people the illusion that he is not far behind the Golden Core Stage monks.

You must know that this is the ninth level of foundation building!

Luo Chen is still in a small realm during the foundation building stage.

If he waits until he reaches the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Period, he will probably have a breakthrough.

“The current situation really gives me the confidence to calmly face the barrier of pill formation!”

Luo Chen was filled with emotion and hesitated for a moment.

He even feels that even if he does not wait for the completion of the Foundation Establishment Period and relies solely on his current accumulation to reverse the spiritual whirlpool formed by Qi Hai's "Qingyuan Miaodan Method", he has a chance of succeeding in forming the elixir!

But that would be too risky.

 I have made so many preparations to form the elixir, how could I act in such a hurry?

Haste makes waste, let’s be steady first!

Luo Chen looked at Bai Meiling, his sharp eyes seeming to see through her body.

 After examining it for a long while, he nodded slightly.

 “It looks like you are in good condition.”

Bai Meiling smiled and said, "I have completely absorbed the original Yin Qi of the Ghost King. With the help of the Soul-nurturing Flag, now I can practice "Ghost Mystery Record" with twice the result with half the effort. If nothing happens, a hundred years later, I may be able to be promoted normally. The third level of Ghost King Realm.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

 “Are you so sure?”

Bai Meiling scratched her head, "I can't explain it, but I do feel this way. In that ghost king's original yin energy, there are fragments of consciousness crushed by you. After I absorbed it, I made a judgment based on my experience."

Luo Chen nodded thoughtfully.

 Indeed, the experience of beings like the Ghost King still has certain reference value.

Not to mention anything else, after Pang Renxiong's death, it took only three to five years for Pang Renxiong's remnant soul to advance to the third level of the Ghost King Realm, which is actually a clue.

What he relies on is not just the spiritual foundation of his Golden Core cultivator, nor is it just the so-called clear mind of the sword.

More importantly, his remnant soul has absorbed all the remaining yin energy of the three ghost kings in Dahefang!

It is also by relying on this kind of opportunity that he can restore his third level strength in a short period of time.

even!

Judging from Luo Chen's current knowledge, if Pang Renxiong refines the ghost monster, and the disciples of the Sword Sect feed him the souls of living monsters from time to time, he can not only regain his peak performance, but also go further. .

The battle at Dahefang was a catastrophe for Pang Renxiong. How could it not be an opportunity?

“Let me tell you what’s going on recently.”

Bai Meiling nodded her head and quickly told Luo Chen all the information sent by Luo Tianhui over the years.

 The first is the news about the ice castle that Luo Chen is most concerned about.

 Four golden elixir monks died mysteriously!

To this end, Ice Castle held a funeral, but strangely did not invite any outsiders to attend.

 Even close vassals such as Luo Tianhui were not invited.

Luo Chen frowned, four golden elixir masters died?

“Did he die under the siege of thousands of monsters in the Snowy Mountains?”

 He remembered clearly that Han Zhan was not the only one who helped Canglong overcome the calamity.

The high-end combat power of Ice Castle is also coming out in full force.

Except for Canglong, who needed to cope with the calamity, and the new Jindan master Bingpo Fairy who stayed in the ice castle, the other eight Jindan masters risked everything.

In the Yuehua Ice Castle, one person was sitting on the first floor.

With the help of high-grade magic weapons and the power of the fourth-level spiritual land, you can resist countless monsters summoned by the White Bone Black Snake in the Snowy Mountains.

The number of third-level monsters among them is unimaginable.

 I'm afraid the number will be in the hundreds!

 In this case, it is absolutely normal for three or five Jindan monks to die.

but…

 “Is there no news about Master Canglong’s success in advancing to the Nascent Soul?”

　　Bai Meiling shook her head, "I have specifically searched through countless information, but there is no relevant information. I am afraid that the senior has failed to overcome the tribulation."

 “Did it fail?”

Luo Chen murmured, with a look of sadness on his face.

 He hopes that Canglong will succeed.

 After all, I called her "senior sister".

 After sadness comes worry.

If Canglong fails to advance to the Nascent Soul, and if Ice Castle loses four Golden elixir masters in one breath, I'm afraid things will change in the future!

This "change" is not only limited to the power battle within the ice castle, but also depends on the external situation and the opening war that has just happened in a few years.

Will Ice Castle, which has lost its strength, still participate in the opening war normally?

 As a vassal, will Luo Tianhui be affected?

Thinking of starting a war, Bai Meiling also told the relevant information in a timely manner.

 In her description, the current Jade Cauldron Territory is really like a big cauldron about to boil.

Countless monks from outside the realm rushed to the Jade Cauldron Territory, gearing up for the opening war thirty years later.

 And this is just casual cultivation.

I'm afraid that in some time, the sect forces on the list of participating in the war will also arrive in the Jade Cauldron Territory one after another.

“Liuguangfang, we have captured it!”

This is a rare piece of positive news among many pieces of information.

“Brother Duan led the Luotianhui monks and invited the Kang family of Taishanfang and the neighboring Luo family of Rakshasafang to attack the Bai family of Liuguangfang.”

"Although there were some twists and turns in that battle, there were no major casualties. It was just in the battle for the third-order cypress that Sister Feng Xia was seriously injured in order to save the spiritual plant. However, under the control of the Luo Tianhui monks After all-out treatment, he has recovered and can practice normally."

Feng Xia had already established the foundation many years ago, and even succeeded Bian Zhen in taking charge of the Luo Tianhui Spiritual Medicine Hall.

 A third-order Jucypress in good condition is of great value.

As the master of the Spiritual Medicine Hall, she must protect it at all costs.

Luo Chen took the file and looked at the situation of the battle carefully.

 In addition to the casualties and gains, it also mentioned the rise of some of the younger monks of Luo Tianhui.

 Zeng Yilong is successful in body refining, Bai Lian is a rising star in the Forging Hall, Qu Lingjun is successful in foundation building...

“Wait a minute, why did Lingjun go to the battlefield?”

Luo Chen frowned.

  Qu Lingjun successfully built the foundation, which was within his expectation.

  After all, the supply of various elixir resources has been enjoying special treatment in recent years, and it is even more abundant than during Luo Chen's Qi refining period.

In terms of Kung Fu and daily practice, Luo Tianhui also provides guidance on foundation building and true cultivation.

There is also the secret technique of "Three Yuans Returning to One" tailor-made for him by Li Yingzhang.

Therefore, when he was sixty-two years old, he took two Foundation Building Pills in succession and successfully established the Foundation.

But Luo Tianhui has no precedent of letting alchemists go to the battlefield.

With the exception of the Danxia Defense War and Luo Chen himself.

　　Bai Meiling shrugged, "It is said that he applied on his own initiative. He said that he had been cultivating all the way and had a smooth journey and rarely participated in frontal battles. That's why he took the initiative to apply and participate in this battle, intending to temper himself."

"He himself is the master of the Alchemy Palace and also your disciple. It is difficult for others to refuse."

“After careful consideration, the president’s sister allowed him to participate in that battle.”

 After hearing this explanation, Luo Chen was still a little dissatisfied.

 But after hearing Sima Huiniang’s final decision, he suppressed his dissatisfaction.

“Perhaps blind protection is too much of a greenhouse culture.”

“When an alchemist masters huge wealth, it is the right way to have the strength to match it.”

Luo Chen found a reason for himself to stop being so attached to this matter.

 Speaking of which, there is a sharp contrast in the alchemist's fighting ability.

 There are extremely powerful people, such as Luo Chen and Danyangzi of Qingdangu.

There are also extremely weak people, such as Dan Yuanzi in the Battle of Qinhua River.

The other party was clearly in the middle stage of foundation building, but was brutally killed by Li Jinhuang using the means left behind after his death.

It can be seen that Dan Yuanzi's fighting ability is weak.

 My own training of Qu Lingjun was too gentle, which almost led him to follow the path of Dan Yuanzi.

 It is right to participate in battle appropriately and temper oneself.

Sima Huiniang’s considerations were very thorough.

Luo Tianhui has been planning for the battle of Liuguangfang for a long time, and with the help of two major reinforcements from the Kang family and the Luo family, it is a very sure battle.

In this case, Sima Huiniang made the decision to let the younger generation of Luo Tianhui go to the battlefield to train, which was actually a very wise decision.

 “It’s true that I’m not very good at training disciples.”

Luo Chen laughed at himself and asked for other information.

 Bai Meiling has a great memory!

 She not only read all the information over the years, she also sorted it out and memorized it all in her mind.

The narration of everything at this moment also gave Luo Chen, who had been in seclusion for many years, a sufficient understanding of the situation in the outside world.

 The end!

 Bai Meiling mentioned something.

“Master Chu Kui, I have been asking to see you since last month.”

Luo Chen was startled for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face.

“Wait for me at home, I’ll go to his cave!”

After saying these words, Luo Chen ignored the darkness outside and hurried out of the cave gate with a strong wind.
