Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 731 Heaven and Earth Peak Star Gate, Tribulation of Thunder and Refining Soul (please vote for me)

As soon as he entered, Shen Wantou felt extremely uncomfortable.

A vast ocean of consciousness spread out unbridled, watching for him all the time.

He pursed his lips and made a seal with his left hand in his sleeve.

"Huh!"

A soft cry was heard, and Luo Chen, dressed in loose white clothes and with disheveled hair, walked out of the quiet room.

He smiled apologetically and said: "Sorry, I am practicing a technique, which caused my soul to be too active and unable to restrain it in a short period of time."

As he said this, he never stopped looking at Shen Wandou.

The other party's original state is undoubtedly revealed, he is around the third level of Nascent Soul, and his spiritual consciousness is about to break away from him.

But at that moment, it showed no less intensity than Luo Chen's spiritual consciousness.

Afterwards, he used unknown secret techniques to perfectly hide all the auras around his body, making it impossible to detect even the slightest bit in person.

Shen Wandou also had a look of surprise on his face, surprised by Luo Chen's overly youthful appearance.

In the world of immortality, there are some secret elixirs that can keep you young forever. Youthful appearance has never been the criterion for judging age.

There are even old monsters who look like children but actually live for hundreds of years.

But no matter what, there is always some "old-fashionedness" in these people that cannot be concealed. When he speaks and acts, he is often very old-fashioned and does not look like a teenager at all.

But what he felt on Luo Chen's fair complexion and cheeks was a strong sense of "vigor".

This means that the other party is really young, and the specific age of cultivation is definitely no more than four or five hundred years.

He exclaimed: "My fellow Taoist is so young and has such a powerful spiritual consciousness. It is really rare in the world!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Friend Daoist Shen is overrated. With your abilities, the strength of your spiritual consciousness is not inferior to mine. You are worthy of being the great elder of the Beihai Tianyuan Merchant Alliance!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this compliment, Shen Wantou smiled bitterly.

"The position of elder of the Merchant Alliance, which you seem to respect so much, is nothing more than a drudgery to us."

Luo Chen was surprised.

The elders of the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance, whether in Donghuang or Beihai, are extremely dignified figures wherever they go.

Driven by countless monks under his command, he has a wide network of external contacts, and has countless rare treasures and rare resources circulating in his hands.

This can be seen from the fact that Fu Chaosheng easily helped him collect a large amount of cultivation resources.

Arrange a mortal country, after all, he can be regarded as a frontier official who manages one side!

Is this considered a chore?

Seeing Luo Chen's surprised look, Shen Wandou shook his head and sighed: "Fellow Taoist, I don't know something. Our Tianyuan Dao Sect is rich in resources and has many talented people. The really powerful people are all cultivators in the sect, and I am the only one who can do it." Only those with mediocre qualifications, average family background, and no chance of advancement at their age will be assigned to the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance to deal with such lowly business affairs. Others who don't know the details can only respect me and others, but like me. Fellow Taoist will become a guest of my star gate sooner or later, but there is no need to do this. "

Luo Chen was even more surprised.

He knew that Tianyuan Dao Sect was very powerful and was located in the most elite place in the world, overlooking the mountains and seas of the four states.

But the Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t be able to use the word “distribution”, right?

and…

"How did fellow Daoist Shen know that I was going to become a guest of your sect? And what's going on with this star gate guest?"

Shen Wandou smiled and said, "This is normal. Our merchant alliance elders have the task of introducing some powerful people from the four states into the Tianyuan Dao Sect. And within the Dao Sect, the Star Gate is like you. Where to go. I think Elder Fu invited you here because he wanted to invite you to join our sect!"

"Stargate?"

Luo Chen read the name with a serious look on his face, "Please give me some advice from fellow Taoist, what kind of place is the Star Gate?"

Previously, Fu Chaosheng only said that he would recommend him to become the guest minister of Tianyuan Dao Sect after the matter was completed, but he did not mention the special place of Star Gate.

The lack of time at that time was one aspect, but the other party's reservations was another aspect.

At the moment, it seems hard to tell whether Shen Wandou and Fu Chaosheng are friends or foes, but if he can get some information from each other, he will be able to act better in the future.

Shen Wandou looked at Luo Chen carefully. He had a calm demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant. He was at the first level of Nascent Soul but had as much spiritual consciousness as him. He was really a rare person.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said:

"The Star Gate is a special place for our sect, and it is located at Tiandi Peak."

"There are a total of nineteen elders in it. Of these nineteen elders, twelve are from the twelve wealthy families, two are appointed by the thirty-six aristocratic families in rotation, and the remaining five are recommended by foreign guests. The person is in charge.”

"But the overall composition of the Star Gate is actually made up of powerful foreigners like you. The minimum standard for recruitment is Nascent Soul cultivators. Once you enter, you will be divided into three levels, namely ordinary guest ministers, Tianyuan worshipers, and Tiandi Peak Elder."

"Do you know about Alchemy Saint Chu Yan?"

Luo Chen was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

This person's name was as loud as thunder, and he had heard of it during his Qi refining period.

The rumor itself is that he came from the Mingyuan Sect in the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land, but for some unknown reason, he left Zhongzhou and joined the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

According to rumors, he is also the only alchemy master in the world who can refine fifth-level elixirs in the Nascent Soul stage!

Could it be that the other party mentioned him at this time?

"He is one of the nineteen elders of the Tiandi Peak Star Sect, and has been the elder of Tiandi Peak for five hundred years!"

Luo Chen was shocked in his heart and asked doubtfully: "What are the benefits of the Tiandi Peak Star Gate that can attract so many powerful people from the mountains and seas to join?"

"Benefits?" Shen Wantou smiled casually, "That's too much."

Then, he spoke eloquently.

Immortal Nascent Soul from the outside world cannot directly join the Tianyuan Dao Sect. The taboos in this regard are similar to those of other sects, to prevent those who bring skill to the profession from causing trouble to the ancestral court.

Therefore, the Star Gate was specially set up as an institution to accommodate powerful foreigners.

Once you join it, ordinary guests can directly enjoy the fourth-level spiritual veins for free without spending any spiritual stones.

If you make any special contributions to Dao Sect after becoming a guest minister, or if your realm is promoted to the late Nascent Soul stage, you can even become a Tianyuan enshrinement.

At this time, some resources within Tianyuan Dao Sect will be opened for worship.

As for the five Tiandi Peak elders, they are even more qualified to participate in some major decisions of Tianyuan Dao Sect.

In addition, there are two other benefits that are difficult for outsiders to know.

One is that after joining the Star Gate for five hundred years, you can recommend your descendants and disciples to join the Tianyuan Dao Sect and officially become a member of the Dao Sect.

The other one involves the secret of ascension!

Shen Wandou did not elaborate on this last point, but even what he mentioned before was enough for Luo Chen to digest.

There are so many benefits to becoming a Star Gate elder. No wonder the powerful people in the world flock to him.

"Now the Beihai is in chaos, monsters are in full swing, and many powerful people from the North Sea have lost their foothold. This time, Shen also recommended a few real people from the North Sea to join the Star Gate. Desolate Man, if you are free, I can organize a Let’s get together to introduce you to each other, and also exchange cultivation experiences. Working behind closed doors is always of no use to us." Shen Wandou stroked his beard and smiled.

Luo Chen took a sip of tea and declined.

"Thank you, Daoyou Shen, for your kindness. You can see what's going on now. My secret skills are not yet complete, my spirit is active and scattered, and I'm not suitable for communicating with others. I'm sorry."

"Right!"

Shen Wandou looked at Luo Chen and felt the omnipresent consciousness, vaguely feeling like needles pricking his skin.

He knew that the other party did not mean it, but it did make fellow monks unhappy and not suitable for communication.

"That's it, that's all."

Then, he changed the topic, "No wonder you are so interested in puppetry. Such a powerful spiritual consciousness is indeed suitable for practicing puppetry. I happen to have such an ancient puppetry in my hand, which may be able to help."

Luo Chen hesitated, "I wonder how much it's worth?"

Shen Wandou laughed loudly, "Why talk about yellow and white things? You and I had a great chat today, so I will give it to my fellow Taoist as a gift!"

Seeing that Luo Chen was still hesitant, he said angrily: "It's just a rubbing, and it's of no use to me, so fellow Taoist, there's no need to refuse."

Luo Chen had no choice but to accept the jade slip with the puppet technique imprinted on it.

After another chat about the customs and customs of Zhongzhou, Luo Chen personally sent Shen Wandou out of the cave.

On Xiaoqiong Mountain, Luo Chen held the jade slip, his face still smiling, but his heart felt a little heavy.

He only wanted his trip to Zhongzhou to be an interlude, fulfilling his promise to Fu Chaosheng.

Now it seems that the place we are going to is a huge thing. Even if it is just the tip of the iceberg, it will be overwhelming.

Star Gate, Heaven and Earth Peak…

At the foot of Xiaoqiong Mountain, Shen Wandou still had the same smile, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"This trip is right."

"This deserter has great potential. He has achieved such a level at such a young age. After joining Tiandi Peak in the future, he will definitely grow faster."

"But that is the future. For now, the Nascent Soul has just formed, and even his spiritual consciousness cannot be freely retracted, which shows that his combat power is average. In the five-hundred-year competition in the Mirage Dragon Cave, he poses no threat to Liu Yuan. "

"I just paid a copy of the Puppetry Technique that is useless to me. It can distract him from the Puppetry Technique and make him unable to increase his strength in a short period of time. At the same time, I can make him grateful to me. When he achieves some success in the future, I can also help him." I, the Shen family, are here to help.”

"Speaking of which, that fellow Fu Chaosheng has a good eye for discovering such a genius!"

…

The matter of Shen Wandou's visit to Luo Chen cannot be kept secret.

Soon, all the high-level monks in Shenyuan City knew that a casual cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage had arrived in the city.

They wanted to visit, but they were basically turned away.

No one complained, because the explanation given by Xiaoqiong Mountain was, "Desolate people have given birth not long ago and need time to retreat to consolidate their realm."

The senior monks understood very well, after all, the other party was a casual cultivator.

It is not easy to break through the Nascent Soul stage. Now that we have temporarily obtained a fourth-level spiritual vein place, it is natural to seize the time to consolidate the realm.

But the real situation is completely different! In the cave, Luo Chen takes one big soul pill a month.

Just three months later, his uncontrollable consciousness became completely controllable.

For him, this represents great progress in his practice of "Soul-Splitting Technique".

[Proficiency in Soul Splitting Skill 1/100]

Luo Chen looked at the new entry on the attribute panel and felt relieved.

At this moment, within his sea of ​​consciousness, two soul shadows appeared, one at a time, each silent.

In terms of size, although the split soul is far inferior to the main soul, its own background is no less than the main soul of an ordinary Yuanying first-level monk.

"In just three months, I have grown so much. This Great Soul Pill is really amazing!"

As calm as Luo Chen, he could not help but feel ups and downs at this moment, quite excited.

Even though he didn't have the complete "Soul Splitting Technique" or the method to speed up the practice of splitting souls, he finally made up for this shortcoming with alchemy.

As for the Great Soul Pill, there are twelve pills in one batch, and as long as it is successful once, it can be used for a year.

A bottle of soul essence for tens of millions of people is enough to make elixirs a thousand times.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

The only thing that made Luo Chen doubtful was probably the new soul. It was strong but a little weak.

It sounds contradictory, but it actually has internal logic.

Strong in "quantity", weak in "quality".

This split soul is not as good as his main soul, which has been baptized by the years and has not been tempered by the improvement of realm, let alone the stage after passing through the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, when the Yin Soul transforms into the Yang God.

Therefore, the split soul seems to have the level of Nascent Soul, but if it is really used to attack the enemy, it is too weak.

"From this point of view, it is understandable that Han Zhan lost to me back then."

Luo Chen said to himself.

Obviously, even Han Zhan, who had completed the "Soul Splitting Technique", could not solve this problem.

Therefore, he seemed to have nine souls, but in fact he was bloated and his quality varied, which led to him being defeated one by one by Luo Chen using the Dragon Slaying Technique.

And this problem also appeared on Luo Chen now.

If you only pursue quantity, that is definitely not what Luo Chen wants.

However, Luo Chen already had preliminary ideas for solving this problem.

That is the magic weapon of destiny!

A small gray cauldron floated above Luo Chen's head.

Wisps of silver-white arcs are activating on it from time to time.

There was a hint of fear in Luo Chen's eyes, but also a hint of expectation.

"If I use the power of the Tribulation Thunder to temper the soul, can I eliminate the waste and retain the essence and strengthen the essence of the soul?"

"It's even said that not only the split soul, but also the main soul, if possible, can be tempered in this way?"

The Yin soul is most afraid of masculine power.

And the Tribulation Thunder is undoubtedly the most powerful and yang thing in the world!

If the split soul could withstand the power of the thunderstorm, its strength would be unimaginable.

Luo Chen carefully released the split soul, and at the same time distractedly let the Hunyuan Cauldron release a silver-white arc.

Crack!

When the two came into contact, Luo Chen felt like he was struck by lightning. Even because of the connection between the split soul and the main soul, his eyes subconsciously turned white and he fell asleep directly.

After half a day, Luo Chen woke up faintly, his pale face full of fear.

In the world, those who dare to use thunder to refine their bodies are rare.

There is no one like him who has ever used the power of thunder to refine his soul.

It's enough to be said to be willful and audacious!

But at this moment, Luo Chenhou's frightened face showed a bit of ecstasy.

"feasible!"

"It's totally doable!"

"It's just that the power of the tribulation thunder before was too great. If it were half smaller, my split soul would be able to bear it."

The Hunyuan Cauldron is his natal magic weapon. He already has some ideas on how to control the power of the Tribulation Thunder to output more or less.

Next, just a little experimentation and good control are enough.

Even if the split soul was destroyed due to improper operation, Luo Chen would not regret it.

After learning the "Soul Splitting Technique" and mastering the method of refining the Great Soul Pill, as long as the main soul is still there, the worst case scenario is that we have to start all over again.

And if he could figure out such a soul-refining method, he might surpass Han Zhan's attainments in the soul-refining path, and completely turn his shortcomings in the soul-refining path into strengths.

When the soul becomes strong, you can also study and learn the corresponding soul attack and defense methods!

"The future is bright!"

Luo Chen smiled and took the Hunyuan Cauldron into Zi Mansion.

You have to eat food one bite at a time, and you have to do things step by step. If your soul is injured, you have to take the Great Soul Pill to replenish it.

…

On this day, Luo Chen lived alone in the cave.

In front of him was still the chessboard made from the demon king's leg bones, but it was obvious that his attention was not on the pale white endgame of Go, but on the jade slip in his hand.

He has been studying the puppet technique given to him by Shen Wandou for some time.

Compared with today's puppetry, the difference between ancient puppetry is not big. After all, it is a niche genre in itself and has not changed much.

Thanks to Han Zhan's occasional reminders over the past hundred years, Luo Chen already had the corresponding foundation in puppetry.

Therefore, he got started quickly.

He is not very interested in making puppets, and in his opinion, making puppets has the same origin as weapon refining. The only difference is that weapons and magic weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds have been changed into more complex puppets.

What interests him is the aspect of "manipulating puppets."

After a while, Luo Chen put down the jade slip with a thoughtful look on his face.

If you want to perform well in puppetry, the most basic condition is that your soul is strong, and it is best to be able to multi-task.

This is a commonplace topic.

But the reason why I say this does make some sense, just because to control a puppet, you must have strong spiritual consciousness.

This is especially true for some powerful puppets that contain soul themselves.

Puppet control is divided into four levels.

The ability to control puppets with hanging threads is not popular, but the ability to draw spiritual power is just entry-level. The ability to control the thread of spiritual consciousness is easy to control, and the deep soul seal is unpredictable!

"The "Cangli Puppet Technique" records the complete puppet control method, even the method of making soul seals is not omitted."

"Shen Wandou did give me a big gift!"

After sighing, Luo Chen fell into deep thought again.

By planting soul seals, is it possible to control the white tiger puppet that is comparable to the late Nascent Soul?

Can this method really touch the sword spirit in the **** sword, refine it and identify its master?

He has too little experience in this area.

Especially the White Tiger Puppet and the Blood Sword, which are big killers, are not like the Hunyuan Cauldron, his natal magic weapon, that he can command like an arm, so he must be careful and not tolerate any mistakes.

Otherwise, if those two things get out of control, he will have to walk around without being able to eat.

Just as Luo Chen was thinking hard, his expression moved slightly.

"Tianxuan, come in!"

Outside the cave, Tianxuan entered in response.

As soon as he came in, his sleeves and robes fluttered.

"Master, the Black King is back."

A coiled dragon fell to the ground, its skin and flesh torn apart, and weak blue flames burning on it.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "Black King, why are you in such a mess?"

The Black King said bitterly, "We have met an enemy. These injuries are nothing but minor matters. It's just this fire. I need to ask Master to help deal with it."

Looking at the blue flames, Luo Chen vaguely felt a sense of familiarity.

Adding the word "enemy" mentioned by the Black King, Luo Chen instantly recalled a person.

The next moment, his eyes were like lightning, looking through the cave.

"Black King, you brought someone back!"

The Black King was stunned, "Master, how did you know that I brought... No, that old man is also here!"

He turned back suddenly, hissing with his dragon's tongue and a fierce look in his eyes.

Luo Chen waved his hand and stood up.

"When an old friend comes to visit, why should he be so vicious? You just stay here while I go to see my old friend."
