Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 733: Unimaginable cultivation speed, late bloomer (please vote for me!)

Sang Jinghe left and came back soon.

When he came back, he also brought back the current situation of Fu Chaosheng.

The day of return is approaching, but the specific time is not yet known. Fu Chaosheng's business in Beihai still has many loose ends that need to be resolved one by one.

Especially on the side of the good and the devil. He used to act as a middleman to mediate the war, which was not as simple as having a meal and being a guest. It also involved a lot of cooperation between the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance and the good and the devil.

In fact, it can be seen from this that the Tianyuan Dao Sect's merchant alliance in Beihai is nominally governed by the four elders, but the elder Shen Wandou obviously has a higher status.

Shen Wandou does not need to travel around and work outside, he only needs to stay in the base camp of Shenyuan City to manage the overall situation.

Unlike Fu Chaosheng and the other two, they seldom have leisure time and walk around all day long.

The reason for this situation is not only as simple as the realm, but also related to the "family background" behind it.

The wealthy family is in decline, and its facade is only supported by Fu Chaosheng and the new Yuanying Fu Qinglan.

Even if the Shen family is not at the forefront of the so-called Thirty-sixth Family, there are other clan members who have been promoted to Nascent Soul for many years and are very powerful.

Because of this gap, it is reflected in the external world of Shen and Fu, one is leisurely and the other is busy.

It’s not that the capable work hard, but the weak work hard.

Luo Chen didn't want to explore the real situation. After learning that it would take some time for Fu Chaosheng to return, he suppressed the urgency in his heart and focused all his energy on his own practice.

It is too dangerous to use the power of thunder to refine the soul. If one mistake is not made, it will easily lead to mental and physical exhaustion, so he needs to control the speed.

I still take the Great Soul Pill on a monthly basis and focus mainly on my current practice.

Based on the progress bar on the attribute panel, he roughly judged the current training speed.

The result he got was extremely surprising to him.

Even if the Dzogchen "Celestial Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" is only useful, as long as he has the support of normal fourth-level spiritual veins, he will be able to advance to the next level, which is the second level of Nascent Soul, within ten years!

If assisted by the powerful Hong Yuan Dan, taking one pill every half month and slowly refining it, the speed could be increased to seven years, six years, or even half!

Such a result completely subverted the common sense of those realms before Nascent Soul.

Shouldn’t it be more difficult to practice in the Nascent Soul realm?

Isn't the double life span limit that has skyrocketed out of thin air just to prepare for the long period of cultivation?

Luo Chen was extremely confused about this.

"Could it be caused by my constitution of the fire spirit body?"

"But those who can achieve Yuanying in the world are those who have outstanding qualifications and perseverance. They want to advance to a higher level, but it takes decades or hundreds of years to calculate."

"Especially for those who are older when they break through to the Nascent Soul, they will never be able to touch the threshold of the later Nascent Soul throughout their lives."

Regarding this problem, Luo Chen still couldn't figure it out after reading a lot of classics.

This made him understand that without the guidance of a famous teacher, no sect inheritance, and no communication with colleagues, even if he practices hard behind closed doors, he only knows what is happening but does not know why.

Therefore, Luo Chen had the idea of ​​communicating with fellow monks.

There are quite a lot of Yuanying Daoist people currently stranded in Shenyuan City, and many of them want to join the Tianyuan Dao Sect and take the opportunity to leave Beihai.

However, Luo Chen had no intention of getting close to these people, and he set his sights on Zhou Yunshen.

It's not that you bully people into being honest. For someone who can achieve the Nascent Soul Realm and create a big family, there is no such thing as "honest" at all.

Mainly because there is a "connection" between them.

Because of this complicated origin, Luo Chen took the initiative to ask for advice, which not only did not bore people, but also brought them closer to each other.

This is how people are, sometimes others really want you to ask them to do something.

After Zhou Yunshen simply settled the clan members, he also began to visit the Yuanying monks in Shenyuan City frequently. Faced with Luo Chen's invitation, he gladly went to the appointment.

"The daily practice of Yuanying monk?"

Facing the question raised by Luo Chen, Zhou Yunshen was quite surprised.

Luo Chen didn't shy away from it, and said calmly: "I know very little about these common-sense things as I am a casual cultivator and have no master's lineage. I didn't think so before, but the more I practice frequently, the more confused I feel. So, Please give me some pointers, fellow Taoist."

Zhou Yunshen hesitated for a moment, but looked at Luo Chen's thirsty eyes and smiled.

"Forget it, it's not really a core secret, it's just some experience."

After smiling, his expression turned solemn.

"Before that, please release the Nascent Soul Realm and try to contact me."

Luo Chen nodded, and with a thought, the eyes of the Nascent Soul within his body opened slightly, and his breath came out of Zifu, pulling in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He did not add the method of destroying the void, but simply activated the Nascent Soul Realm with all his strength.

Suddenly, a large amount of fire-attribute spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered together, forming a red cloud over Xiaoqiong Mountain, like a burning cloud.

At the same time, another two streams of blue and green spiritual energy rushed in, forming another Nascent Soul realm.

The two collided, and Huo Shaoyun was pushed backwards in just a moment.

From here, we can also see the huge gap between the two.

The two major realms were about to collapse. Luo Chen praised: "My Taoist friends are profound, and Luo is far from my opponent!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yunshen was even more shocked.

In that direct collision, he could feel how solid the opponent's domain was and how huge the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was pulling.

Even if it is not as good as himself, it is far from what ordinary Yuanying first-level monks can achieve.

Of course, on the surface he didn't show much expression.

After taking back the Nascent Soul Domain, he asked: "Have you noticed anything special about it?"

Luo Chen was startled. What's the difference? Isn't it just a simple collision of fields?

But soon, he seemed to realize something.

In the direct collision just now, in addition to the free spiritual energy attracted between heaven and earth, there was also the own magic power of both monks.

But in his perception, although Zhou Yunshen's magic power was strong, there was no difference between him and him.

The reason why his own domain was defeated was actually the result of the combination of the monk's mana and the aura of heaven and earth.

Luo Chen hesitated and said: "Between you and me, a simple comparison of magic power doesn't seem that big?"

Zhou Yun smiled deeply, "As expected of a San cultivator, he is still able to break through the Nascent Soul stage. He has a high level of understanding and knows the smallest things."

"Fellow Taoist, please speak clearly!"

Zhou Yunshen put away his smile and said seriously: "In terms of pure mana comparison among our monks, unless they are great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage, there is not much difference between them. The reason why during a battle, the difference in realm will form a significant difference The difference is simply because the process of using mana to leverage the external spiritual energy has doubled the gap in mana."

"The battle between Nascent Soul monks is no longer a simple exchange of magic weapons, fists and kicks, but focuses on leveraging the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"Whether it is the Nascent Soul realm or a real weapon that can communicate with the spiritual energy of the outside world, they are all manifestations of this method."

Luo Chen frowned and thought carefully about what the other party said.

If he understood it with his usual quantitative thinking, it should be roughly one, two, three, four, five, six, to deal with the amount of mana at each level of Nascent Soul.

There is indeed not much difference between one and two, even if it is one and five, or one and six, they are all within the normal range.

But when it comes to combat, simple addition and subtraction cannot be used to compare.

The mana level of one, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that can be leveraged, are basically only one.

Ke Er's mana level, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that can be leveraged, are at least two, or even three or four, or even more.

In this comprehensive situation, one times one will be formed, which is less than two times two and two times three.

If the realm span is increased even further, it will form one times one, which is far smaller than five times five, five times six, seven eight, and so on.

This is also the reason why, when he didn't use the method of melting the void just now, the domain collision was not Zhou Yunshen's opponent at all.

Based on this, when he encountered the Blood Nightmare Demon Luo and even the Sky-Splitting Stream Lord, he was actually at a disadvantage in his field. He relied entirely on the self-realized secret technique of Melting the Void to even out the gap.

Following this train of thought, Luo Chen asked a few more questions.

"There is no absolute mana gap before the late stage of Nascent Soul. The real gap is reflected in leveraging the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

"Yes."

"Is there any way to reduce this gap?"

"Of course there are, high-level spells, innate magical powers, even secret arts, physical fitness, and real weapons that we commonly use. As for the specific situation, it varies from person to person."

"I would like to ask, was that your full strength just now?"

"Haha, I'm getting old, so if I use my full strength, my muscles and bones will be strained. Besides, don't you have some reservations as a Sanren?"

The extended topic ends here.

Luo Chen returned to the original topic, but became even more confused.

"The most basic thing for our monks to improve their realm is to increase their mana. Since there is not much difference in mana between each realm, why do Nascent Soul monks' training time always count in hundreds of years per small realm?"

Zhou Yunshen pointed to the sky and said matter-of-factly: "The higher the realm, the stronger the magic power, and the more spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be leveraged. But the more spiritual energy is leveraged, the greater the backlash, and the easier it is for the monk Nascent Soul to lose himself and be assimilated by heaven and earth. . Therefore, the more brave and diligent our monks are, the more cautious we must be, and we must always sort out our magic power and not tolerate any negligence."

"Isn't there still a Zifu barrier?"

"Haha, fellow Taoist, don't you know that the Purple Mansion barrier originates from the evolution of spiritual roots?" Luo Chen was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

Human beings need to have spiritual roots to cultivate immortality, but spiritual roots are just a general term and have three parts in themselves.

One is on the tip of the tongue, one is in the Dantian, and the other is in the Jingfang palace.

The former affects the sensitivity of sensing external spiritual energy, as well as the absorption efficiency, etc. There are people in the world who are lame and have broken legs and limbs, but there are very few high-level monks who have severed their tongues.

The latter is not so critical, as long as the Yuanyang/Yuanyin before foundation building is not lost.

The most important thing is the Dantian.

As the realm gets higher and higher, the Dantian will continue to change, from the initial development of the Dantian, to the Dantian turning into the sea, and finally the Zifu.

Therefore, after serious calculation, Zifu is indeed a product of spiritual roots!

Zhou Yunshen talked about the most basic things, and his reasoning was simple and simple.

"The fewer spiritual roots, the easier it is to accurately perceive the corresponding spiritual energy attributes, the easier it is to absorb, and the faster the cultivation speed will naturally be."

"So, a monk with a single spiritual root called Tianlinggen is called the darling of heaven and earth."

"But that's only before the Nascent Soul realm!"

"After the Nascent Soul, the spiritual roots evolved into the Zifu. The rarer the number, the smaller the Zifu, and the thinner the barriers. It seems to be closer to the world, but how can we dare to completely integrate into the world?"

Zhou Yunshen looked at Luo Chen with a smile and asked, "You should have heard of the most widely circulated rumor in the world of immortal cultivation, the speed of cultivation of Tianlinggen monks."

Without thinking, Luo Chen said, "Ten years to build a foundation, a hundred years to form a pill, two hundred years to form a baby, five hundred years to... transform into a god."

After talking about it, his tone gradually became hesitant, but there was a feeling of enlightenment in his brain.

Combined with the simple exchanges with Master Langya during the past few days, the problems that had puzzled me for many days were instantly solved.

Zhou Yunshen didn't know that Luo Chen had realized it yet, and was still giving a simple explanation.

"Those with a single spiritual root have a huge advantage in the early stage. Even if their cultivation path is slightly bumpy, they will be full of life expectancy when they conceive a baby."

"You are so young and have a thousand years to live, so you have plenty of time."

"However, it takes a full five hundred years to go from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Divine Transformation Stage!"

"The obstacle lies in the fact that the barrier of Zi Mansion derived from the Tianlinggen monks is too thin, and I don't dare to do that brave and diligent thing at all!"

"Even at this level, they don't even dare to take too much cultivation elixirs. Because the elixirs will destroy the walls of the Zifu, causing the already weak thatched house to leak wind everywhere, leaving the Nascent Soul with no shelter."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yunshen couldn't help but feel emotional.

Heaven and earth are fair, and the road treats everyone equally.

How much convenience it gives you in the early stage will be how many obstacles it will give you later.

And if there are many difficulties in practicing at the beginning, then when the realm reaches a high level, you will be able to keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight, and the journey will be smooth.

His personal qualifications are not bad. In terms of spiritual roots, he can be regarded as having two spiritual roots, so he can have a baby at the age of four hundred.

But for the next four hundred years, it was like walking on thin ice. The Yuanying once sank, lost itself, and was trapped in the fourth level of the Yuanying for many years.

This is one of the reasons why the outside world thinks that he is only at the fourth level of Nascent Soul.

Later, even if the barrier was broken, it only improved two small realms.

Now that he has a lifespan of eight hundred, he wants to rely on the remaining two or three hundred years to break through the late Nascent Soul stage and attack the gods...

Zhou Yunshen looked at Luo Chen with a wry smile. He could feel the other person's youth, and also knew that the other person was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core when he was in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

Being so young and advancing to the Nascent Soul stage so quickly, it must be that he has a single spiritual root with the fire attribute.

In the past, he would have been considered a genius of the sect and the mainstay of the family.

But now, I can only feel a little sad for the other party.

After passing the most difficult level, I found that there were still mountains ahead, and I was afraid of being extremely confused and despairing.

Today I took the initiative to find him to solve my doubts, maybe this is the reason!

Feeling Zhou Yunshen's pity look, Luo Chen blinked and did not explain anything, but exchanged other questions.

"To seize the spirit and send the general, to enslave the soul?"

"I really know a thing or two about this."

"Master Yu Ling from the Endless Valley is my good friend. His name is Yu Ling, which explains everything."

"He told me some tips before. After I explored them, I integrated them into the blood coral formation in the Coral Sea. The effect is extraordinary."

"I can tell you a thing or two, but these tips vary from person to person. If you want to use them, you need to think carefully."

Luo Chen didn't expect that when he asked casually, the other party actually gave him a little surprise.

Recently, he was studying puppetry and how to control the powerful soul in the puppet, which left him a little confused.

The tips Zhou Yunshen shared about Yuling Master inspired him a lot.

After the exchange, Luo Chen saw off the other party personally.

The two of them walked along Xiaoqiong Mountain.

Before leaving, Luo Chen suddenly asked: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, where do you want to go in the future?"

"future?"

There was a hint of confusion on Zhou Yunshen's old face, and then he said firmly: "We must find a way out for the heirs of the Zhou family. I plan to go to Zhongzhou and worship at the Daozong Tiandi Peak. You should also have the same plan. When the time comes, I will We can support each other a little bit. After all, Zhongzhou seems to be a place that attracts strong people from all over the world, but it is also very exclusive. If we don’t stay together, we may become useless.”

Luo Chen smiled, no wonder the other party knew everything before.

Repaying the Black King for rescuing him was one, and the experience he conveyed was shallow was the other. The real intention was to befriend him so that we could work together in the future.

Although I have no plans to stay in Zhongzhou for a long time, I think it will be safer if I have people who know the details to cooperate with me.

In this case, he should reciprocate the favor.

Luo Chen flicked his wrist and handed out a storage bag.

"This is?"

Zhou Yun was puzzled and did not take the storage bag.

Luo Chen smiled and said: "There are three low-grade defensive magic weapons inside. Some of them were made by me personally, and some were obtained by accident. I heard that the heroes of the Zhou family suffered a lot in the battle on the Coral Sea, so I will treat these things as gifts to the juniors. , for self-defense.”

Zhou Yunshen hesitated, "No reward for no merit, this gift from fellow Taoist is somewhat..."

"How can I say it's useless? The previous exchange was enough to save me a lot of detours. There are only three low-grade magic weapons that are useless to me. I feel a little shabby. What's more..."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Back then, your Zhou family sent me a batch of medicinal materials to help me refine elixirs. At that time, I promised to tailor-make a defensive magic weapon for your Zhou family's new golden elixir. Unfortunately, I later escaped from the Demon Sea, and this promise was never fulfilled. Fulfillment. Now, it’s just a small amount of compensation. I hope you don’t dislike it.”

When the words came to this point, Zhou Yunshen no longer hesitated.

There are only three magic weapons, which are really not that valuable.

But the magic weapon with defensive attributes is indeed something that the descendants of his Zhou family currently lack.

There are really not many people left. If it is still damaged, then he will not be able to bear it at his age.

"In that case, I would be disrespectful."

Zhou Yunshen smiled and took the storage bag, then handed it over and left.

After he left, Luo Chen kept the smile on his face and walked slowly along the mountain road without using any magic power.

His confusion was very simple. The answer had actually been given by Master Langya a long time ago, but it was too general, which blinded him.

With Zhou Yunshen, a Nascent Soul who has been here for a long time, to sort it out, it was instantly solved.

"My purple mansion barrier seems to be formed by a single fire spiritual root, but in fact it is formed by the five elements spiritual roots."

"No!"

"My spiritual roots have also been improved by the Spirit-shaping Holy Spring in the Mingzhao Tiandan Palace, and they are of the highest quality."

"The Zifu derived from this is unparalleled in the world."

"With the blessing of the Purple Mansion, I don't have to worry about the influence of heaven and earth on me when I practice. At the same time, the fire spirit body ensures that I can perfectly absorb the fire attribute spiritual energy, so I can practice at such a fast speed."

"When my proficiency in Hong Yuan Dan increases and I can refine middle-grade or even high-grade Hong Yuan Dan, my cultivation speed can skyrocket again!"

"Haha, I have been stuck with low qualifications all my life and have spent countless resources. But I didn't expect that after I became the Nascent Soul, I would suddenly achieve the so-called genius qualifications. It's really strange."

Luo Chen was in a very good mood.

Even after returning to the mountain, the progress of studying puppetry has also been greatly improved.

A month later, Luo Chen, whose condition reached its peak, took out the Hunyuan Cauldron.

With a thought, his consciousness locked onto the object in the cauldron!
