Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 739: A thousand-year-old family, a million-year-old family (please vote for me!)

Luo Chen was indeed negligent.

Recently, I have been busy researching and developing the soul technique, Ghosts and Gods Piyi, and I am thinking about some things that are not there yet, so I forgot one thing.

That was Luo Chen and his party, not just five of them!

There are millions of dragon earthworms parasitizing the Black King's body!

During the Riyue Island visit, Yu Ziyou focused on Zhang Jingqing. Luo Chen boasted that he could protect Zhang Jingqing through the teleportation array with dual blessings of source power and magic power, so he didn't think about the hidden dangers of the Black King.

He didn’t even mention the Black King!

In short, when it was teleported, this scene appeared.

The Black King was overwhelmed and his source power was excessively depleted, but he still could not save the millions of dragon earthworms that were parasitic in his body.

Under the huge pressure, 99% of the dragon earthworms were crushed into powder. The Black King couldn't hold back and vomited out their flesh and blood.

At this moment, the underground palace smelled extremely fishy, ​​like a slaughterhouse.

After listening to Luo Chen's explanation, Fu Chaosheng couldn't help stroking his painful forehead.

He also forgot about this. Parasitic beasts often appear on powerful wild beasts.

It would be okay if the number was smaller, but no one expected that there would be such a terrifying number of parasites on the Black King.

When I heard that it was a dragon earth monster, I felt even more regretful.

One million dragon earthworms, even if they were all first- and second-level ones, would still be worth over a billion spiritual stones.

It was all destroyed at once, which was really heartbreaking.

The Winter Mountain people and Lu Qiuzhen looked at Luo Chen in shock. They never expected that the other party had such a hidden wealth.

One million dragon earthworms are enough to be called a complete group of monster beasts.

I don't know where the other party got it from. At such a young age, his wealth exceeds that of their old Nascent Souls.

But now it's all gone, and they seem to have a little more balance in their hearts while watching the excitement.

"That's all, it's just a small matter after all. As long as everyone arrives safely." Fu Chaosheng waved his hand and comforted Luo Chen, "After that, I will order the clansmen to clean up the underground palace of Xingchen Island, and then pay a sum of spiritual stones to the sect. Just fine.”

He said it lightly, but his expression of pain couldn't deceive anyone.

Luo Chen didn't quite understand.

But when he saw the Taoist disciples stationed on the island rushing over, he understood why Fu Chaosheng felt so painful.

Overload transmission requires a lot of spiritual energy!

Not only did he **** up several top-quality spiritual stones in the underground palace in one breath, but also the fourth-level spiritual veins on the island were drained of a large amount of spiritual energy, which was difficult to recover in a short period of time.

As a result, it affects the normal operation of the teleportation array on Star Island.

The spiritual stone that the rich family wants to compensate is obviously not a small amount of money.

…

On Star Island, the four Nascent Soul Masters were checking the conditions of their clan disciples to ensure that they had not been seriously injured.

Luo Chen withdrew his consciousness from Zhang Jingqing and showed a satisfied look on his face.

With his source of protection and mana covering his body, Zhang Jingqing was able to survive in the end.

At this moment, it's just that the internal organs are somewhat damaged.

This kind of injury was nothing to Luo Chen.

After changing his magic power and performing several medical techniques such as Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Technique and Five Internal Organs Returning Technique several times, Zhang Jingqing's pale face gradually turned rosy.

"Thank you, Master!"

After thanking him, her worried eyes fell on Luo Chen's shoulders.

There lay the sickly Black King.

Luo Chen waved his hand, "You can go to Tianxuan's side. There's nothing serious about the Black King."

After Zhang Jingqing left, the Black King said sadly: "Master, the Black King made a mistake."

Luo Chen shook his head, "You are overestimating your capabilities. I have spent a lot of effort protecting Xiaoqing, and you still want to protect millions of dragon earthworms on your own. You are lucky if you don't put yourself into it."

"I originally thought that they were hiding in my body. With my strong body to resist external pressure and the support of my source, they should be able to survive. But I didn't expect...that the owner would suffer heavy losses."

Facing the Black King's apology, Luo Chen looked calm.

This trip was indeed a heavy loss for him.

One million dragon earthworms are worth a lot of money!

Originally, he wanted to bring it back to Donghuang and use it to revitalize the Luo Tian Sect, but now it was all lost inside.

It cannot be said that all of them were lost. The Black King absorbed a large amount of dragon earthworm blood back then and was naturally close to these reptiles and regarded them as his heirs. In times of crisis, they still spent a lot of effort to save thousands of second-order dragon earthworms.

With this batch of elite seeds, we can more or less rebuild the size of the ethnic group in the future.

Most importantly, nothing serious happened to the Black King himself.

"You should rest first, I'll go talk to Fuchaosheng."

Hei Wang hummed and got into Luo Chen's sleeve robe.

Luo Chen summoned Fu Hongzhang, asked Fu Chaosheng's location, and rushed over.

When he got there, he saw Fu Chaosheng conversing with several monks wearing black and white robes. He would not go up to disturb them and just waited quietly beside them.

After a while, Fu Chaosheng came back dejectedly.

Seeing Luo Chen waiting, he opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Luo Chen was considerate and asked directly: "Do you want to pay a lot of spiritual stones?"

The skylight has been opened, so speak openly.

Fu Chaosheng sighed, "It's more than I thought. I originally thought it would be fine with eighteen million spirit stones. Unexpectedly, they asked me to give out thirty million spirit stones, otherwise this would be the end of it." Report the matter to the sect.”

Just 30 million?

Luo Chen was stunned and thought it was such a sky-high price.

But soon, he realized that this was indeed not a small amount of money.

Even though he has a net worth of hundreds of millions at a young age, those spiritual stones were not acquired by his own efforts.

It all depends on killing people and grabbing treasures!

In the past, when Luo Chen worked hard to run his business, his most savings did not exceed 30 million.

Although he is now extremely wealthy, some of the best spiritual stones and high-grade spiritual stones in them are also strategic resources and will not be easily traded as currency.

In comparison, Fuchaosheng looks like a rich man, but he has such a big family and needs to spend resources to support his granddaughter who is in the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Taking out 30 million at once was considered too much for him.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Chen said straightforwardly: "This matter happened because of me, and I should be responsible for it. I will pay for this spiritual stone."

Fu Chaosheng was shocked. Even though he knew that Luo Chen was quite wealthy, he never expected that the other party would be so upright.

"This is not good, after all, you were invited by me..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. You and I are in a cooperative relationship. Apart from the content of the cooperation, I don't want to trouble you too much."

Fu Chaosheng nodded subconsciously.

But soon, he came to his senses.

I don’t want to trouble myself too much. In other words, I don’t want to trouble him too much outside of the cooperation content.

"Let's do this, you can give half of the spirit stones, and I will take care of the rest. No need to refuse, I am also responsible for reminding you of this matter. Moreover, when my rich family members come to clean up the underground palace, those dragon earthworms accumulated Blood can also be recycled and used as a supplement.”

Luo Chen glanced at Fu Chaosheng unexpectedly, but didn't insist any more.

It is very important to grasp the degree of getting along well, half and half, not hurting the harmony, and not too deeply involved.

But when leaving Star Island, Fu Chaosheng subconsciously looked back at the location of the underground palace.

"Just after returning to Zhongzhou, there was a **** disaster. This sign is not good."

…

When he took his first step on Zhongzhou, Luo Chen vaguely noticed the difference between this place and Donghuang and Beihai.

First of all, it is the omnipresent spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

There's a level of sufficiency, even if it's just a wilderness trail.

But where the mortal race gathers, there is a second level.

Luo Chen couldn't get the third-level spiritual veins that he had been asking for, and even participated in the opening war to obtain them. In just half a day's journey, he saw no less than a dozen places with his own eyes!

It is conceivable that in such a spiritual environment, fourth-level spiritual veins are probably not uncommon.

This discovery shocked Luo Chen, and even the two Nascent Soul Masters Lingdong Shanren and Lu Qiuzhen who came from Beihai.

As a land of five continents, is the gap between Zhongzhou and the other four continents so huge?

In addition to this, there was another special feature that also amazed Luo Chen.

Wherever his spiritual consciousness swept, he saw many foundation-building and golden elixir monks.

Unlike monks from other continents who were wary of each other, these people were relatively harmonious even though they were obviously not from the same family.

For such a spectacle, Luo Chen could only blame it on the fact that there was only one sect in Zhongzhou, the Tianyuan Dao Sect. There are some remaining differences, such as similar dressing styles, simple architectural styles based on black and white, etc. Compared with the first two, these are not worth mentioning.

On the rich flying boat, Fu Chaosheng and Luo Chen briefly introduced some basic conditions of Zhongzhou.

"It's different from the sects in Donghuang who share the rule of the Immortal Territory and the Immortal Island in Beihai where there are many casual cultivators. The situation here in Zhongzhou is very simple."

"There are countless families in Zhongzhou, but there is only one sect, and that is my Tianyuan Dao Sect!"

"The Tianyuan Dao Sect is not only the only sect in Zhongzhou, but also the co-owner of all the families in Zhongzhou. Looking at the world, it is also the most powerful force!"

"If you can join the Star Gate, it will be our sect's generosity and your honor!"

Different from his usual smile, Fuchaosheng showed a rare hint of arrogance at this time.

That is the pride of being a descendant of the greatest holy land in the world.

This pride gave him the confidence to be calm and unhurried whether he was facing the good and demons of Beihai, the demon monk Kong Chan in the later stage of Nascent Soul, or the three Luo Chen in front of him.

Usually, because he has to go out to do business, he is kind and gentle to everyone.

But now, he is no longer that businessman, but a successor of the Taoist sect, so he doesn't have to be careful to make money by being kind.

"The Star Gate is located in the center of Zhongzhou and is established on the Heaven and Earth Peak."

"People of Winter Winter Mountain, please hold Elder Shen's recommendation order. Fellow Daoist Lu, please hold my recommendation order. You can bring your clan disciples along with you, and you can pass through unimpeded. At that time, the elders of the Star Sect will send people to review."

"Fellow Daoist Luo, come with me back to the rich family. I will make my own arrangements for what happens next."

Fu Chaosheng made arrangements for the next trip.

Luo Chen is incompetent.

The other two people looked at each other, and when they parted, they also expressed their gratitude to Fu Chaosheng for taking them on this trip.

After the two left, the arrogant look on Fu Chaosheng's face suddenly faded away, and he returned to his previous appearance.

"Sorry for making you laugh."

Luo Chen shook his head, "It doesn't matter, after all, they are not on the same road as us."

Indeed, we are not fellow travelers.

Those two people were quite old and did not meet the conditions to enter the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven. They took the first step, but they could only stop at the Heaven and Earth Peak.

Luo Chen was different. He was qualified to be the protector of Dao Sect disciples and entered the Mirage Dragon Cave.

And according to what Fu Chaosheng said, even if such a person joins Tiandi Peak, the chance of becoming a worshipper or even an elder of Tiandi Peak is much greater.

Luo Chen was more curious about the things he had observed before, so he simply asked.

Fu Chaosheng did not hide his secrets and directly solved his doubts.

"Zhongzhou is the place with the most spiritual energy in this world. It is unusual for it to have abundant spiritual energy."

"In addition, because this state is under the sole control of our Dao Sect, there is also a complete plan for cultivating spiritual veins. There will be no over-exploitation of spiritual stone veins by casual cultivators or monks from other continents."

"Finally, the star gate of Tiandi Peak is wide open, recruiting Nascent Soul cultivators from all over the world. This generation exists and will be used by our sect while alive. After it is transformed, a huge amount of mana will be fed back into the world of Zhongzhou. This is also the growing spiritual energy of Zhongzhou. The reason why it becomes stronger.”

Luo Chen nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and the doubts in his heart were easily solved.

A monk achieves personal greatness through accumulated practice over time, but once he dies, the terrifying magic power accumulated throughout his life will not disappear for no reason, but will return to the world of heaven and earth.

Fu Chaosheng went to Beihai for two hundred years and brought back seven Nascent Soul Masters during his one trip.

Even if it is a relatively large number of times, under normal circumstances, there will always be two or three people who defect to Tianyuan Dao Sect.

This is a number of two hundred years. The Tianyuan Merchant Alliance has been established since ancient times, and it has been three thousand years ago!

How many Beihai Yuanying monks were attracted among them?

Donghuang, Southern Xinjiang, and Western Desert, what about these three continents of immortality?

If you add in the Yuanying Zhenren cultivated by Daozong itself, the number...

Just the slightest thought is enough to inspire awe!

Luo Chen has heard rumors since he was a child that Dansheng Donghuang left Zhongzhou to join the Tianyuan Dao Sect. Now it seems that he has followed the example of his predecessors.

Not only that Alchemy Sage, Luo Chen had also heard of strong men leaving Southern Xinjiang, joining Zhongzhou Tianyuan Dao Sect, becoming gods, and even ascending to the upper world.

All this shows that Tianyuan Daozong has been implementing plans to attract talents from other continents for many years.

Among so many people, those who ascended are in the minority after all.

Most of the immortal Yuanying people can only turn into a pile of loess after the end of their life span, and contribute to the prosperity of Zhongzhou.

"I won't stay for a long time. The so-called joining Tianyuan Dao Sect is just to obtain the status of Star Sect guest minister so that I can return to Zhongzhou."

Luo Chen smiled in his heart and had no intention of dedicating his life to Zhongzhou.

As for how to go back then, Fuchaosheng will do it for him.

Later, Luo Chen asked about the strange situation of the monks living in harmony here.

"Everyone worships Dao Sect as their master, so they won't fight for life or death."

Fuchaosheng explained.

But soon, he shook his head again.

"On the surface, it looks harmonious. In fact, the major families compete fiercely with each other."

"You should have understood the hierarchy of the Zhongzhou family, right?"

Luo Chen nodded, "I have heard a little bit, and it seems that the strength of a family is determined by wealthy families and aristocratic families."

"It's a bit crude. I'll explain it to you in detail!"

Fu Chaosheng waved his hand and chanted softly: "There are twelve wealthy families and thirty-six noble families. Countless families have formed the Tianyuan Sect."

"This is the structure of the Zhongzhou family. The twelve wealthy families are at the top, the thousand-year-old families are glorious for a while, and the down and out families are all rising."

A simple poem that aptly explains the situation of Tianyuan Dao Sect.

During his introduction, Luo Chen also learned more and more about Tianyuan Dao Sect.

This sacred place of transformation, which looms large in Zhongzhou and watches over the world, is different from the traditional sect passed down from master to apprentice. It is mainly based on family inheritance.

Although there are also a small number of masters and apprentices, the mainstream is the major families distributed in Zhongzhou.

The so-called wealthy families are the top families that have produced powerful gods.

The so-called aristocratic family refers to a large family that has produced Yuanying Zhenren.

The so-called poor family is based on the number of Jindan monks.

As for being from a poor family?

It is no longer included in the Taoist dharma, but it cannot be summarized as a casual cultivator. Such small families can often only be attached to the big families. After they have achieved success, they will see whether to establish another family.

Luo Chen was extremely shocked when he heard this, and once asked in silence: "Twelve giants, are there twelve powerful gods in Zhongzhou today?"

Fu Chaosheng was speechless and could only remind him: "It happened before, not now."

Luo Chen smiled, he was rarely so gloomy.

It's really a bit scary that the twelve major powers can coexist.

You must know that on the Beihai side, Yuan Mo Sect only has three powerful gods, and even if you include Beili Great Sage and Sea King Whale on the Monster Clan side, there are only five.

As for Donghuang, I heard that the Mingyuan sect also had three powerful gods. As far as he knew from the demon tribe, there was an ancient demon named Ditian. Even if Qixia Yuanjun was added, there were only five.

Perhaps there are powerful beings of this realm lurking in the two continents, but the number is definitely not large.

It would be really scary if Zhongzhou pulled out twelve of them at once.

Suddenly.

Fu Chaosheng whispered: "If our sect wants it, it is not impossible to have as many powerful hands as there are at the same time, or even more."

Luo Chen's eyes suddenly widened.

However, the other party had no intention of continuing to explain, and instead changed the subject.

"A wealthy family that has lasted for thousands of years will never be immortal, and a thousand-year-old family will also perish. Within our sect, there will also be regular assessments of big families."

"Leave aside the rich family for now, the aristocratic family is evaluated every five hundred years, and the poor family is evaluated every three hundred years."

"If the real person dies and his descendants are unworthy, and there is no second real Yuanying person within five hundred years, the name of the family will be automatically cancelled, and it will fall into the category of a poor family. The family will be judged and so on."

"In order to ensure the inheritance of the family, there are people from generation to generation. Therefore, the competition between families for cultivation resources is extremely fierce!"

"And the scope of this competition for resources is not only between family territories, but also among the clan members who have joined the Dao Sect."

"The sect competition every hundred years is the first real competition with real swords."

"And the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven Competition, which takes place once every five hundred years, is the most intense one!"

"My rich family is very lucky. When I was old and frail, Qinglan stepped in. But will her luck continue after that? I don't know and I don't dare to bet. So, I must seize this opportunity. Ensure that Qinglan can harvest more resources and gain a higher status within the Dao Sect!”

"So, I hope fellow Taoist disciples will do their best to help Qinglan succeed!"

At the end of the sentence, Fu Chaosheng, whose rosy face could not hide the wrinkles, stared at Luo Chen with burning eyes.

Not only that, with a wave of his hand, the light flashed, and four jade bottles were placed in front of Luo Chen.
