Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

 Chapter 454: Provocation in Fenghua Palace, Rotten Ke Ding’s Troubles

Chu Kui is preparing to make elixirs, and Luo Chen is not idle either.

 After being promoted to the ninth level of foundation building, he took a few days of rest.

Have a drinking party with Wang Yuan, talked about formation knowledge with Min Longyu, gave Qu Lingjun advice on his practice after establishing the foundation, and set a date for his marriage to Mi Li.

Then one after another in the cave, they summoned Luo Tianhui's new foundation-building monks in recent years. They might give kind words of encouragement, or give treasures as congratulations for building a foundation, and sometimes they would also share their cultivation experiences.

 Finally, he lived with Hui Niang and Cai Yi for three days to test their practice results respectively.

 After the three-day exchange, Luo Chen ended his short rest.

 Enter the previous cleaning state.

 …

"Tao Wan went into seclusion twelve years ago to attack the Golden Elixir Stage. Three years later, she succeeded. The bell of Qingdan Valley rang three times to celebrate. Then the woman continued to retreat to consolidate her realm. The day of her release was not far away. The Qingdan Valley has already Start sending out invitations in advance to invite colleagues from all walks of life to attend Tao Wan’s elixir knotting ceremony.”

“Danyangzi successfully formed the elixir before her, and has officially left the country to hold the elixir-forming ceremony.”

“Bingbao Tantaihao completed the foundation building period five years ago, announced the retreat, and sprinted towards the golden elixir stage.”

"Luoyun Sect held a Jiazi Competition and invited fifteen sects to watch the ceremony. Thirteen true disciples stood out and were known as the Thirteen Sons of Luoyun. Among these thirteen people, except Han Zheng, who was the lowest in realm and the youngest, all the others were A ninth-level monk with profound cultivation is expected to form an elixir within fifty years."

"The Jade Cauldron Sword Sect does not hesitate to give in. Ten years from now, there will be a sword fight in the Jade Emperor Mountain. The candidates for the sword fight are not limited to the monks of the sect, nor are they limited to their level. Anyone who takes part in the competition and wins the ranking will receive generous rewards from the Sword Sect. ”

“Ailaoshan Daozi returned from Xiaoyue Mountains and was rumored to have drawn an extremely detailed map of Xiaoyue.”

“The representative of the Hehuan Sect, Master Yunhe, entered the Jade Cauldron Territory and was the first to visit the Baihua Palace. Baihua Fairy, Peach Blossom Ancestor, and Shi Xiangzhu, the three golden elixir masters of Baihua Palace, traveled hundreds of miles away to welcome him.”

Stats of external information flowed through Luo Chen's mind.

 There are people I know who have succeeded in forming elixirs, or they have closed the death barrier in order to achieve a breakthrough.

There are Luoyun Jiazi competitions, and there are also Jade Emperor sword fights where monks from all over the world are invited to fight, all of which are moves to show off muscles.

The arrival of high-level monks from the Yuan Ying Sect of the Outer Realm has added another raging fire to the boiling cauldron.

 Everything shows the fervor before the war.

 In this case.

 The realm of foundation building is no longer on the table.

“Danyang, Tao Wan, Tantai, Chu Kui... they have all come ahead of me, it’s time for me to speed up my pace.”

 Luo Chen murmured to himself.

A sense of urgency began to linger over his head even though he had been practicing meditation all year round.

 If it was before, maybe the feeling was not that deep.

However, Master Canglong failed to advance to the Nascent Soul, and the four golden elixir monks were lost in the Ice Castle battle, and his subordinates such as Tantai Xun and others went into retreat one after another.

 This shows the tension of Ice Castle.

And Ice Castle is Luo Chen’s biggest supporter at present.

 How could he sit back and relax when his backers were crumbling?

However, no matter how anxious he is, Luo Chen's practice plan is still orderly in chaos.

He has basically stopped refining alchemy for the time being.

 The main focus is on daily practice and studying several secret pill-forming techniques.

He has never stopped studying those secret techniques since he obtained them in the middle stage of foundation building.

　At this point, I am already familiar with it, but I just need to put it into practice.

Among them, the ones that attracted Luo Chen the most were undoubtedly "Suozhu Curtain" and "Ding Fengbo" that Miao Wen handwritten for him before his death.

 The former is the secret technique of forming elixirs of the Luoyun Sect of the Yuanying Sect.

The latter is also a simplified version of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect's secret technique. Even if the effect is not as magical as "Hui Sword Technique", it can be seen from Miao Wen's regret after waking up and Pang Renxiong's grudge soul turning into ghost cultivation so smoothly. The effect of source secret technique.

Luo Chen often studied the secret technique "Ding Feng Bo" after he came back, and finally confirmed that Miao Wen did not leave any behind-the-scenes tricks to harm him.

“Don’t be in a hurry. You can wait for Chu Kui’s elixir formation to decide how to practice the "Suo Bead Curtain".

 “This “Ding Feng Bo” can be started directly.”

 The main reason why Luo Chen was so determined was because of this secret technique, which is somewhat similar to "Ming Shen Breaks Evil".

 They all have the effect of tempering the will of the monks!

 It is the will, not the soul!

 There is an essential difference between the two.

The soul is strong but the will is weak, but it is just a weapon in the air that dare not wield it.

 As for those with weak souls and weak spiritual power, if their will is strong enough, they can often go further than the same beings.

This is probably similar to the three elements of immortality that cultivators often talk about.

 Should qualifications come first, opportunity come first, or character come first?

 This will is almost the nature of the mind.

Of course, there must be differences in the specific discussions, but Luo Chen will not delve into it.

After research, he discovered that the technique of "Ding Feng Bo" does indeed have the effect of tempering the will.

If we say "Mingshen Breaks the Evil", it uses pain, external stimulation, and tempering of evil spirits to temper the will.

Then "Ding Feng Bo" is obviously going to a higher level.

Place your mind on an object and constantly focus on it, so that your ethereal will can be as strong as a physical treasure.

 It is rumored that high-level sword cultivators will generate their own sword intent after reaching a certain level.

 It is rumored that among high-level sword cultivators, there is a saying that when the sword is with the person, the person with the sword will die.

It is rumored that after Jade Cauldron Sword Cultivators advance to the Golden Elixir stage, they can often cultivate their own sword pills to the level of magic weapon.

All these can prove that sword cultivators will practice some kind of method to strengthen their own will.

 This "Ding Feng Bo" also has a similar effect.

The stronger the nourishment you choose and the closer the connection with yourself, the better the final effect will be!

Jade cauldron sword cultivators naturally choose sword pills that accompany life and death.

Luo Chen was in trouble.

 If he wants to take foreign things, he has many treasures in his hands.

 But it is too much but not too fine.

The Shang Shu Cau could have been the best object, a low-grade magic weapon, and an alchemy tool, closely related to his alchemy skills.

If you use this to practice "Ding Feng Bo", Luo Chen can't even imagine how good the effect will be.

but!

This thing is a damaged version!

And it was once the natal magic weapon of the alchemy master Shang Hu.

Yes, Luo Chen had already found out that the incomplete Shangshu cauldron given to him by Master Jueqing was the natal magic weapon of her Taoist companion Shanghu.

 So, Shangshu cauldron is not an option.

Where's the Xuanhuo Sword?

This treasure has a good effect on Luo Chen's combat power, especially the weapon control technique, which is fully displayed on this magic weapon.

 Furthermore, "Ding Feng Bo" is derived from "Hui Jian Shu", so it has a natural fit for sword treasures.

but!

 The quality of this thing is too poor.

This is a low-quality magic weapon produced by the Yan League back then, and it is even less reliable than the one from Tianfan City.

Luo Chen has been in many battles over the years, and this treasure has been damaged many times. From time to time, Duan Feng has to use the casting technique to repair it for him.

Luo Chen was really afraid that the Xuanhuo Sword would suddenly disintegrate in the next battle.

He doesn’t want to imitate those swordsmen who play the trick of killing people with swords.

 In addition to these two items, Luo Chen also has some fine magic weapons in his hands.

  Even at the level of low-grade magic weapons, it can be considered excellent.

Xiao Sanren's soul-stealing jade flute, Song Taozi's flying sword, Zheng Xian's fire fan, Mi Shuhua's relics of the Tianyue Purple Gold Wheel, and even the eighteen thousand-year-old Lei Ying on his hand can all be used. As a "fixed object".

 But after some research, Luo Chen finally gave up.

"These things are either incompatible with me, or they have not been carefully practiced, and they are not closely related, so they are not the most suitable."

"Most suitable…"

Luo Chen murmured and pointed a finger between his eyebrows.

 A black halo slowly emerged.

 When the halo dissipated, a simple black chess piece was revealed.

“Actually, I already have the answer.”

Looking at the black chess piece, Luo Chen's hesitation gradually dissipated.

Lanke Heiqi - one of the three magic weapons to suppress the clan in Guishen Valley (incomplete version).

 Although it is incomplete, it is not completely incomplete.

 What it lacks is the white chess piece that can be used as a physical defense.

Without white's cooperation, black's chess would be reduced to a low-grade magic weapon.

But this thing did indeed once have a middle-grade grade, and it has never been completely recognized and refined by the seniors of Guishen Valley.

As far as he knows, Lanke Othello and Guishenwenxinjing are both controlled by the Supreme Elder of Guishen Valley and the Elder Chuangong in turn.

 For the inheritance of the sect, to build the foundation and promote the golden elixir.

“This thing has endless potential, and since I established the foundation, it has been nourished and refined day and night, and it has an extremely close relationship with me.”

“And these magic weapons are less likely to be exposed to fights with others, which greatly reduces the risk of being damaged.”

“It is best to use this as a calming object to practice calming the wind and waves!”

After making the decision, Luo Chen completely cut off any trace of hesitation.

With a thought, the black chess piece flew away and floated in mid-air above his head.

Luo Chen stared at it, then gradually closed his eyes.

At the same time, his fingers kept squeezing, and streams of spiritual power and spiritual consciousness surged out of him, flying towards Lanke Heiqi.

  Tangle, sweep, wrap, outline spiritual patterns.

During this kind of practice, Luo Chen suddenly had a glimmer of enlightenment.

This Miao simplified secret technique of "Ding Feng Bo" may not be simplified at all.

With his ability and knowledge, how can he simplify the secret technique created by the predecessors of the Sword Sect?

 What he did was addition!

In "Ding Feng Bo", the technique of sacrificing and refining magic weapons is mixed, and some Buddhist principles of entering concentration are mixed, but the core is actually the technique of forming elixirs.

 Spiritual power and spiritual consciousness are integrated and entangled with the help of fixed objects.

 Isn't this another form of "Bead Curtain"?

It’s just that the spiritual beads formed by the "Bead Lock Curtain" are too dangerous and easy to lose balance. Therefore, we used Miao culture to take advantage of it and chose a middleman to buffer the spiritual power and spiritual consciousness and provide a place for negotiation and compromise.

 What if it’s the original version of “Swordsmanship of Wisdom”?

Using the sword pill that the sword cultivator has been practicing day and night as a fixed object, let the monk's spiritual consciousness and spiritual power intertwine in it, and let every part of the sword thread that makes up the sword pill be contaminated.

Doesn’t that also mean that another “golden elixir” has been formed?

 Hence, if you are successful in sword cultivation, you can often advance your sword pill to a higher level.

 Similarly, if Jianwan is destroyed, the swordsman himself will suffer heavy losses, or even die as well.

 In this case, it makes sense.

 Sword pill is originally the second golden elixir of sword cultivator! Years of extensive reading and outstanding talent in spell cultivation have allowed Luo Chen to accumulate profound knowledge without even realizing it.

 When he first practiced "Ding Feng Bo", he saw its essence through the surface.

 Even traced back to the original Jade Cauldron Secret Technique, and got a glimpse of that corner of truth.

 He vaguely felt that there were still many areas for improvement in "Ding Feng Bo".

Even if you don't follow the original version of "Swordsmanship of Wisdom", you can still find another way and go another way.

but.

 At this juncture, Luo Chen would not create any complications.

With the foundation of practicing "Ming Shen Sha Sha", he easily mastered "Ding Feng Bo".

In a daze, his whole body seemed to have become a black chess piece, gradually decaying after being washed away by the long river of time.

 But in the wash, his will is like a black reef, standing in the long river of time, as motionless as a mountain!

 Be anxious and cautious, as if you are in a valley.

　　　trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice.

The long journey to immortality is not limited to Gu Bing.

 After a thousand years, idealism remains unchanged.

 …

 Three years later.

Tianlan Fairy City.

 Zhongyang Street is packed with people, and the excitement is ten times or a hundred times greater than before!

In the past, it was said that refining qi is like clouds, building foundation is like rain, and golden elixir appears from time to time. But now, it is truly worthy of the name!

From the south to the north, in the thirty-six regions, countless monks rushed to the Jade Cauldron Region.

 Even if only a small number of them were diverted to Tianlan Immortal City, the number was staggering.

 The shuttle buses in the fairy city run non-stop day and night.

Each shop has its doors wide open, and the monks are doing business happily.

Especially the Tao Discussion Forum of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. With the upcoming Jade Emperor Sword Discussion Forum, the Tao Discussion Forum is becoming more and more popular!

 Because the rules of the Jade Emperor's Sword Discussing do not restrict anyone, any sect, and any realm can participate.

 But in fact, there are also settings.

 That is, you must obtain the top ten rankings in the Taoist Forum of the corresponding realm among the top ten immortal cities in the Jade Cauldron Domain!

 Only this generation can be invited to participate in the Jade Emperor's Sword Discussion.

 Hence, the martial arts of the ten major immortal cities in the Jade Cauldron Region are becoming more and more prosperous day by day.

On the Road? Swing the road!

Even if you don’t want to participate in the Jade Emperor’s sword discussion, you are still willing to go to the Tao discussion stage to see the gap between your own strength and others.

 The audience watching the games is full every day and every game.

Under such circumstances, the shops in Tianlan Fairy City can be said to have made a lot of money.

 Luo Tianhui also benefited from this process.

Not to mention other businesses, the shop on Central Street alone is making a lot of money every day.

 In fact, with Luo Tianhui’s strength, it is simply not qualified to own a shop on Central Street.

However, the Lianyun Merchant Alliance could not withstand the decline in strength, and the Lianyun Great Elder disappeared for many years and did not return.

Luo Chen knew that Helian Yun had died by his hands a long time ago.

 So after returning, he asked Sima Huiniang to contact Ailao Mountain, the rotating sect of Immortal City at that time.

When the Lianyun Business Alliance was unable to pay the rent, Luo Tianhui was the first to take over the Lianyun Building.

　Today!

Lianyun Tower has been renamed Danxia Palace.

 The businesses they operate are similar to those of the previous Lianyun Merchant Alliance, except that there are two more types of main businesses.

 That is the elixir and snack business.

The elixir business has become more stable and calm after Qu Lingjun advanced to the foundation building stage, and Qu Lingjun has even mastered the second-level elixir.

And because he is Luo Chen's direct disciple, many low-level monks in Tianlan specially gave him the Taoist title of "Ling Junzi" in order to compliment him.

These Taoist titles seem perfunctory, just adding the honorific "Zi" after the name.

 But it also implies the meaning of flattering Luo Chen.

 After all, Luo Chen has two titles, one of which is Huo Lingjun, and has a nominal connection with Qu Lingjun, the "Lingjunzi".

As a result, Danxia Palace, where two second-level alchemists Dan Chenzi and Ling Junzi were stationed, naturally became a place where countless low-level monks flocked to.

 After all, Luo Tianhui’s elixirs are sold cheaply.

 The snack business is a Luotianhui tradition.

Monks have a theory of fasting, but only after building the foundation.

And it’s not that the monks who have established the foundation will eat nothing. If the snacks taste good and contain spiritual energy, no one will mind spending a few spiritual stones to buy them and taste them.

This is exactly the case.

Among the high-end shops on Central Street, Danxia Temple, which mainly caters to low-level monks, has become the shop with the largest flow of people and the liveliest atmosphere.

Even Gu Caiyi, the master of the Luotianhui Golden Palace, spends nine out of ten days in the Danxia Palace.

 This day.

 She and Yuan Xiaoyue, who had already established a foundation, were welcoming a golden elixir master.

 The other party is said to be a senior from Fenghua Palace.

 After entering the Danxia Palace, she kept wandering around.

 Especially the floor where the elixirs are sold, I can’t stop there.

 After a long time, the senior suddenly asked: "Aren't there any Jade Dew Pills for sale?"

Gu Caiyi looked stern and said cautiously: "Senior Fengyue, I don't know where you heard the news. Our Danxia Palace does not sell Jade Dew Pills."

Fairy Feng Yue raised her lips slightly, "Master Dan Chenzi is good at refining Jade Dew Pill. Isn't this a well-known thing?"

 Yade Dew Pill!

 Specialty of Fenghua District!

 There are several masters in Fenghua Palace who are good at refining this elixir.

 Fairy Fengyue is also one of the best.

Although he is not a major in alchemy, he can still refine high-grade Jade Dew Pills stably.

 Gu Caiyi sweated on his forehead and said softly: "Our president can indeed refine the Jade Dew Pill, but it is currently only supplied to Ice Castle, so it will not be sold to outsiders."

 Fairy Fengyue raised her eyebrows.

 She actually knew this news.

but!

Qiong sniffed lightly, with a half-smile on her face.

“Junior, you said you only supply it to Ice Castle, but why do I also smell the fragrance of Jade Dew Pill that you have been taking for a long time on your body?”

Gu Caiyi was startled.

She and Sima Huiniang have indeed been taking Jade Dew Pills for a long time, and most of them are top-grade or top-quality pills.

But Danxiang?

Jade Dew Pill is ice-cold and tasteless, but hidden under their rouge and body fragrance, it actually still smells?

 Luo Chen has never mentioned this matter!

 But it was this confusion that made Fairy Fengyue confirm her thoughts.

"It seems that you have indeed used Jade Dew Pill. Do you have any with you? Give me two pills!"

Gu Caiyi’s face changed, she had been deceived!

 Luo Chen is always thoughtful in doing things and rarely leaves anything behind.

If Yulu Dan has an obvious fragrance, it will definitely be mentioned.

Now if I am not careful and I am deceived by others, I am afraid I will get into trouble.

 While her expression was changing.

Fairy Fengyue chuckled in her heart. Although it was verbal deception, it was something that had been determined for a long time.

As two women rumored to have a close relationship with Luo Chen, Sima Huiniang and Gu Caiyi have long fallen into the eyes of countless people.

Especially Gu Caiyi, who travels all year round!

Obviously your qualifications are average, but your cultivation is progressing rapidly!

 At a young age, he has already reached the middle stage of foundation building, which is comparable to the speed of true cultivation of large sects.

If it weren't for the help of Dan Chenzi's Jade Dew Pill, there would be no such progress.

As Gu Caiyi's expression changed, she gritted her teeth and said, "Senior, this is Tianlan Immortal City. Forced buying and selling are not allowed..."

"It's not a forced purchase or sale. You even said that I won't buy your Jade Dew Pill." Fairy Fengyue waved her sleeves and pointed at the dazzling array of various pills on the shelf. "I just spent 50,000 yuan." Shi, I bought a batch of first-level elixirs from you for disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, and you felt my generosity and specially gave me two Jade Dew Pills as a supplement."

“How do you feel about this?”

Whose elder buys elixirs for Qi-refining disciples? They cost 55,000 yuan!

In particular, Fenghua Palace has trained some sect alchemists of its own, and there is no shortage of low-level elixirs that ordinary cultivators like Luo Tianhui need.

 At this time, it was Gu Caiyi who was in trouble.

The opponent's realm is advanced, but he doesn't completely overwhelm others with his power. Instead, he gives her a step down.

In this case, Luo Chen does not violate the cooperation contract with Ice Castle.

But…

Gu Caiyi tightened her face and insisted: "Senior, this junior cannot make the decision on this matter. You must ask the president of my family for instructions. You..."

Hearing her words, the smile on Fairy Fengyue's face gradually faded away.

 “He is very tolerant and persistent.”

"It's a pity that if you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink wine as a penalty. Are you really in the fairy city? I can't do anything to you?"

 While speaking, a wave of spiritual pressure emerged vaguely.

Gu Caiyi’s beautiful face turned pale.

At this moment, an elegant middle-aged man walked in from outside the building.

“Xiao Gu, have you replenished the supply of your fried silkworm chrysalises that go with wine?”

As the voice came, the spiritual pressure emitted by Fairy Fengyue suddenly disappeared and turned into a warm and majestic breath.

Fairy Feng Yue's face changed slightly, and she stared at the elegant middle-aged man who came up from downstairs.

“Haoran Zhengqi? Isn’t the Haoran Sect gone?”

The elegant man smiled slightly and said, "I, Haoranzi, am a member of the Haoran sect. After all, I was also a part of the Fenghua domain back then. Fairy Fengyue, when the sixteen sects defeated Lianxia together, I remember that you just won that Fenghua domain. The first place in the Palace Qi Refining Competition!"

Fairy Fengyue was shocked and confused. She didn't expect that the other party knew her so well.

 But she didn’t know anything about Haoranzi.

Just when she was about to explore the other party's details, she suddenly saw the other party suddenly raise his head, a pair of bright eyes that seemed to penetrate the attic wooden boards, and the formation was restricted, and he looked up.

Fairy Fengyue was startled, but then she came to her senses.

 “Someone is trying to form an elixir!”

Haoranzi looked in the direction of Tianlan Peak and nodded immediately.

“Dragon and tiger gather together, and the spiritual energy pours in. This is a sign of the success of the elixir!”

Fairy Feng Yue frowned, the war was about to open up. The Jade Cauldron Territory had been accumulated for many years, and had experienced a civil war that lasted for decades. Those strong men of the younger generation who survived began to break out one after another.

 She had seen such a scene not long ago.

 Suddenly!

Haoranzi turned his head and smiled at her.

"As far as I know, the fellow Taoist who is preparing to form elixirs in that cave is none other than monk Luo Tianhui. Fellow Taoist Fengyue, why don't we go and visit together later?"
