Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 491 Could it be that he is the formation genius?

 Above the sky.

 The breeze was gentle and the smell of blood was strong.

Luo Chen flicked away the dirt and looked at the three of them with a smile.

 “Please use friendly measures!”

 Wu Qi shook his head, "Your methods are extremely mysterious."

Yu Jiaolong was a little doubtful at this moment, and finally she asked hesitantly: "Isn't what fellow Taoist cast just now the third-level water illusion spell Mirror Flowers and Water Moon?"

She in Mengquan Cave is the best at water magic!

 Naturally, I have also learned something about Jing Hua Shui Yue, one of the top third-level water spells.

 After some reminiscing and thinking, she was 70% to 80% confident that what Luo Chen had just used in the face of danger was Jing Hua Shui Yue.

 Sure enough!

 As Luo Chen nodded slightly, her doubts were answered.

Jiang Yu also looked shocked when he heard this.

 His major is also water-based exercises.

 The famous name of Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water has been famous for a long time.

 This technique is not difficult to find, and many Jindan monks have collected it. After all, it is a rare illusion among magic that is related to the soul.

  But the practice of this technique is extremely difficult.

 First of all, the threshold is extremely high!

 Must have a strong spiritual foundation.

  Secondly, one must also have extremely high attainments in the water spell, Water Mirror Technique, and the wood spell, Flower Fairy.

 Finally, after the three are integrated, it is very difficult to practice and the casting speed is very slow.

They are often used by senior members of the sect to sharpen the Taoist minds of low-level disciples.

Never imagined!

Luo Chen actually learned this technique and could even use it in combat situations.

 The profound attainments involved can be imagined!

When they were shocked, Luo Chen took the initiative to change the topic.

“Fellow Taoist Jade, where did this come from? This mid-level third-level demon wolf king...”

While speaking, Luo Chen conveniently put away the third-level Wolf King Demon Pill, and the three people who were the main force in the battle did not have any objections.

The noble alchemist took action, and he also paid a blow that determined the situation of the cauldron. It is also appropriate to give him some reward.

 Yes, the world of immortality treats alchemists so favorably!

Yu Jiaolong glanced at the Wolf King Demon Pill, and then said: "Coming from Qiwang Mountain, that is a third-order spiritual vein that Mengquan Cave mainly attacks. On this mountain, there are seven-headed third-order spirits that have been entrenched all year round. During this battle, the number of demon wolf kings increased to nine! And this mid-level third-level demon wolf king also escaped from there."

 Seven Kings Mountain?

 In the previous troop distribution map, it was a territory with a large third-level spiritual vein.

Luo Chen pursed his lips and said, "Have you beaten him down?"

Yu Jiaolong hesitated for a moment and replied: "Let's think we can defeat him!"

 To beat it down, it means to beat it down.

 There is no such thing as "calculation".

Luo Chen looked suspicious.

Fifth Qi, who was approaching, quietly transmitted a message: "It's not just the Mengquan Cave sect that is interested in that piece of land. We have been fighting fiercely for more than half a year, and even if we win, there will still be a lot of wrangling behind."

 When he said this, Luo Chen understood.

 The land has been won, but it does not yet belong to Mengquan Cave.

 So, we can only say “it’s finally defeated”.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and did not continue to delve into this topic.

“Fellow Taoist Jade has come all the way, why don’t you come to our sect as a guest?”

Yu Jiaolong raised his head, looked past the three of them, and looked at the sect's blessed land that had already begun to take shape.

 A strange color flashed in his eyes.

 But after thinking briefly, she still shook her head.

"For this battle, I, Mengquan Cave, suffered a lot of losses, and I still need to contribute to the sect. Therefore, I will thank you for your kindness for the time being."

 After saying that, he didn’t wait for Luo Chen and others to persuade him to stay.

She called out to the monks from Mengquan Cave who were chasing her, and then flew back in the direction from which she came.

Looking at their leaving figures.

Fifth Qi lamented: "Even the powerful Jindan sects like Mengquandong said they suffered heavy losses, which shows how fierce the battle on the front line is."

Jiang Yu also echoed: "Yes, fortunately we listened to Dan Chenzi's mountain-moving plan, otherwise, with our strength, we wouldn't even be able to make waves on the front line."

 There is a sense of schadenfreude in his words.

Luo Chen didn’t say anything.

　　But the smile on his face faded away unconsciously.

The fighting on the front line was fierce, and Jindan suffered heavy losses.

 This is not good news!

 When a fire breaks out at the city gate and the fish in the pond are affected, he cannot just watch and laugh.

If things continue like this, what the Heartless Fairy said when she left will most likely come true.

Those large sects that have suffered heavy losses will most likely not sit back and watch as the Luotian Alliance picks up the slack.

 When thoughts flow.

 Luo Chen’s eyes fell on the ground.

Infiltrated by the flesh and blood of the Demon Wolf King, the earth is full of fishy stench and the demonic aura is rising into the sky.

This geographical environment, if cultivated properly, will be very suitable for growing some medicinal materials in the future.

With a thought in his mind, he suddenly said: "There are many disciples in our family who are idle. Why not send them out to build fortifications thousands of miles away from the sect's blessed land!"

Jiang Yu was stunned, "Is this necessary? Even if we build fortifications, there is no need to extend the battle line so far!"

Fifth Qi originally wanted to object, but looking at Luo Chen's determined face, he took back his objections.

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly felt enlightened.

“Dan Chenzi, could it be that you want to delineate the scope so that you can use the current fortifications as boundary markers to delineate the territory of our alliance after the Ding Xiaoyue Mountain Range is set?”

 Luo Chen nodded.

 “Exactly!”

“Although it is not as small as the Qingdan Valley in Yuding Domain with a radius of 5,000 miles, it is not small for the three of us.”

 It’s indeed not too small!

Within this range, relocating small spiritual veins and opening channels to divert the water will be enough to make the sparrow small but with all its internal organs.

Luo Chen’s vision is very detailed and long-term.

 Wuqi and Jiang Yu had no objections this time and immediately agreed to the proposal.

 …

Luo Chen returned to Xuelangping, and his life seemed to have not changed much.

The monks in the alliance are not surprised by the invasion of monsters like this.

 In the past six months, monsters from the front lines have been coming here from time to time.

 Those with a lower level can be handled by the patrolling monks.

 For those who are stronger, Fifth Qi will take action to suppress them.

Just this time, a mid-level third-level creature came, and Luo Chen needed to take action personally to prevent it from getting into the Alliance Blessed Land and wreaking havoc.

 After coming back.

 It didn’t take long for the good news to come one after another.

 First of all, it was Zeng Yilong who returned from Poyue Fairy City and brought back Song Mi and Chen Xiuli's intention to cooperate.

 They both enthusiastically agreed to the elixir business with Luo Chen.

They are willing to spend 60,000 yuan of spiritual stones each year to buy twelve bottles of low-grade Fanxing Dan from Luo Chen.

He even offered to settle part of the payment with medium-grade spiritual stones.

 Thinking about it, they also knew that the Luotian Alliance needed a large amount of medium-grade spiritual stones to deploy the Dragon Trap Formation, so they decided to give it a try now.

Then!

 It’s Min Longyu’s side.

“This formation is called the Yinwei Formation. It is the third level for the first time and cannot be considered a top formation.”

“Dan Yin is a formation, and eighty percent of it is composed of Hui Jin, which can greatly conceal the fluctuations of spiritual energy.”

 “It can provide a very good covering effect when you cast spells.”

  Dongfuzhong.

Min Longyu introduced the small formation to Luo Chen in detail while holding it.

 Luo Chen listened very carefully.

 At the same time, keep asking questions.

“This formation can cover up the fluctuations of spiritual energy, but the level of mana is much higher than that of spiritual energy. Is the concealment effect enough?”

 “Is this formation difficult to learn? Is it easy to perform?”

"If I want to cast a spell, do I have to set up the formation in advance? Or should I carry the formation compass and activate the compass first? If so, will it affect my spell casting speed?"

 Faced with these questions, Min Longyu had the foresight to give explanations one by one.

 Get to the end.

 His eyes showed excitement.

“Actually, it doesn’t have to be that troublesome. Do you still remember when Palace Master Wang used the Blood Fiend Spirit Seizing Formation?”

Wang Yuan?

 The Blood Fiend Spirit Seizing Formation?    Suddenly!

Luo Chen thought of the **** formations carved on Wang Yuan's back.

He asked tentatively: "Would you engrave this formation on my body?"

Snapped!

Min Longyu clapped his hands and sighed: "Yes!"

“The Yinwei Formation is composed of a large number of hidden forbidden objects. It is extremely obscure. If it is placed directly on the monk’s body and covered by normal mana fluctuations, it will be difficult to detect whether the formation is activated or not.”

“It is even said that with this formation, the Golden Core cultivator only needs a trace of mana in his body to be in a semi-stimulated state at any time. It can also conceal the Golden Core cultivator’s true strength!”

Hearing this, Luo Chen also showed emotion.

 The Breath Condensation Spirit Technique and the Turtle Spirit Armor he had learned before were both effective in hiding the realm.

 At that time, he could even hide it from Xiao Sanren, who had outstanding insight.

 But only before Jindan!

After acquiring the Golden Pill, even if Luo Chen had practiced these two techniques to the Great Perfection level, he could only hide them from some ordinary Golden Pill monks.

If you are truly strong in cultivation and take the initiative to use your spiritual consciousness to investigate, you can still see through the reality of Luo Chen.

 It’s not Luo Chen who can’t do it, but the natural limitations of the low-level skills of those two spells.

This hidden formation also has this kind of effect.

Even if it cannot cover the fluctuations of the spell, it is still enough for him to engrave.

 It’s better to act than to be tempted!

"In that case, then help me burn this formation!"

 Luo Chen has already had the consciousness to take off his clothes.

However, Min Longyu looked embarrassed.

 “Are there any questions?” Luo Chen asked.

Min Longyu said helplessly: "I do know how to use this formation, but if I use my spiritual power to engrave it, I'm afraid the effect will not be the same."

 The same formation has different powers in the hands of different people.

Luo Chen understood instantly.

“What about letting Fu Jiusheng take charge of the engraving?”

Min Longyu shook his head, "Since this formation is to assist you in casting spells and cover up mana fluctuations, it is naturally best for you to carve it yourself. In this way, the mana comes from the same source, and others will naturally not notice it."

 That makes sense.

“So, I have to learn this third-level formation by myself, and then operate it myself!”

"That's right!" Min Longyu nodded, and then said: "And the more familiar you are with this formation, the better the effect will be when it is running. Maybe you don't understand this meaning, you can refer to Palace Master Wang's performance in the past The case of the Blood Fiend Soul Seizing Formation. He was just not proficient in mastering it, so he regretfully failed when he tried to seize the foundation for the first time.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.

Thoughts returned to the Xiaohuan Mountain underground.

Wang Yuan’s original attempt to seize the elderly Duan Qiankun was a pity that he failed.

 Instead, he succeeded in capturing Huo Hu who was in his prime.

 The change in the middle was that with the help of Min Longyu and Duan Feng, he understood and mastered the Blood Fiend Soul Seizing Formation better.

Through this case, Luo Chen also recognized Min Longyu’s philosophy.

However, another problem cropped up.

“But now, I can only arrange some simple first-order formations. Wouldn’t it be too much of a leap to jump to the third-order formations at once?”



Min Longyu waved his hand confidently.

 “Don’t think of the formation too difficult.”

Luo Chen rolled his eyes, "It's really not difficult for a genius."

"All right!"

Min Longyu scratched his head, but still expressed his opinion.

"This formation is only a third-level small formation, and it is a relatively simple concealment formation. In addition, you are also proficient in concealment spells and have a foundation in concealment. I think it should not be difficult for you to master this formation."

“In addition, although the corresponding materials for setting up this array are expensive, they are actually easy to collect.”

“It can be said that there is no big threshold for you to learn to hide in the formation.”

 After such an explanation, Luo Chen's doubts were completely dispelled.

 He nodded, "In that case, let me give it a try! Maybe, I also have outstanding formation talent."

At this, Min Longyu almost burst into laughter.

 If you really have talent, you should have shown it long ago when you were learning the basics!

 “That’s all, he is the Supreme Elder, I still have to respect him.”

Even though he said this, he still couldn't hide the slight smile on his lips.

 Luo Chen didn’t care much either.

 At this time, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. The other party is now his formation teacher. So what if he just smiles?

 Luo Chen still respects teachers very much!

 …

 It was beyond Min Longyu’s expectation!

 Luo Chen’s next step in learning the Hidden Formation is almost as fast as a thousand miles!

  Three months later.

 Looking at the mana array left by Luo Chen on the ground, Min Longyu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"How can this be!"

“In three months, I learned a set of third-order formations!”

“Could it be that he is the genius and I am just a false formation genius?”

Luo Chen didn’t explain much about Min Longyu’s shock.

 In fact, he doesn’t really have much talent for formations.

 From daily study, he already knows it well.

 The reason why he was able to learn this method within three months is the same as the reasons Min Longyu mentioned before. He has the foundation.

 In the process of success, the biggest contributor must be attributed to the system!

 Inside the cave.

“Now it seems that formation is more suitable for me to learn than alchemy, provided that I have the guidance of a truly powerful formation master.”

“It’s different from alchemy. If you know the formation, you know it, and if you don’t, you don’t know it.”

“All I have to do is master the basic restraints, and then copy the ready-made formations left by the formation masters, copying them again and again. As long as one copying is successful, then I will be considered in the system settings.”

“In this way, I can start my old skill of brushing up my proficiency level, and then I’ll be done with it.”

Luo Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart.

 It may be a bit complicated to think about.

  But really speaking, formation is like calligraphy.

 Those without talent cannot become great calligraphers.

 But ordinary people can also write seemingly identical words by copying the handwriting of master calligraphers.

 The formation is the same!

It is even said that with the help of the proficiency system, Luo Chen can completely fake the real thing, or even surpass the level of calligraphy masters.

 The level of Dzogchen is transcendence!

Luo Chen got started in three months by copying the on-site formations left by Min Longyu.

 The genius is not him, but Min Longyu himself!

Of course, there are drawbacks to this.

Limited to his talent, even though he can lay out the same formation more quickly, he cannot do many flexible things like a talented and powerful formation mage who can adapt to local conditions, set up formations according to the time, change formations according to the enemy, and so on.

 “But this is enough for what I need.”

“Next, I just need to brush up the proficiency of the Hidden Formation Formation, and then engrave it on my body, that’s it.”

“In this process, the proficiency of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon must also be improved. The current level of perfection is still not enough.”

 In a short period of time, Luo Chen planned his next daily plan.

 Practice, refine alchemy, learn formations, and practice techniques!

“Oh, I almost forgot. I have to take these two magic weapons, the Tianyue Purple Gold Wheel and the Xuanhuo Sword, to Poyue Immortal City and pay Master Hu Yanzhuo to help repair them.”

 The Xuanhuo Sword has been used for many years and has become dilapidated.

Especially after forming the elixir, the magic power is so strong that every time I activate this elixir, I always feel overwhelmed.

  After all, it is just an ordinary low-grade flying sword.

Luo Chen was afraid that this thing would suddenly disintegrate the next time he used it.

The same is true for the Tianyue Purple Gold Wheel. Although it is powerful, its accessories are too easy to damage.

 The last time I killed the mid-level third-level Snow Wolf King, there was damage.

Especially after being contaminated by the corrosive raindrops summoned by Jiang Yu, even if the opponent gives the antidote later, he still cannot recover as before.

These are all part of Luo Chen's powerful combat power.

 There can be no mistake!

 After thinking about these things, Luo Chen turned his attention to the subdued second-level demon wolf in the cave.

 “The mirror flowers and the moon in the water are blooming!”

 It's very rare, Luo Chen got it twice.

 After practicing the magic arts for a long time, he opened his eyes in a ceremonial manner.

 The second-level demon wolf in front of him, who had gained some intelligence, suddenly fell into many illusions.

 In a daze, it returned to the time when the sun set over the mountains and ran over the mountains. That was its lost youth!

　　　Stay up late to code and update, and watch the LOL World Championship finals in the afternoon. After all, this is also part of my youth.

If WBG wins, there will be an update tomorrow!

If WBG loses...it still has to update obediently.

Dear gentlemen, good morning!
