Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 99: Top-quality elixir, greatly increased combat power (5,000-word chapter, please subscribe)

Back at the stone house, Luo Chen looked at the golden elixir held between his thumb and index finger.

 A tiny but obvious cloud pattern circled the elixir.

 Luo Chen’s initial understanding of elixirs came from his predecessor’s immortality, the legacy of an old monk.

 The old monk who died in the cave was not, strictly speaking, a disciple of the sect.

Comed from a casual cultivator in the Yaowang Domain. Because of his fairly good alchemy skills, he was reluctantly accepted into the outer sect of the Yaowang Sect.

 The situation is very similar to that of Fu Xiuxiu.

It's just that he didn't succeed in building the foundation, and he didn't obtain the Yimu Yaowang Sutra, the foundation building chapter of the Yaowang Sect's Immortality and Evergreen Sutra.

 When he got older, he became an outside disciple of Yaowang Sect, handling some sundries for the sect.

 Finally, he died in a large mountain cave in Yuanzhao Kingdom.

 The other party has quite a lot of experience in alchemy, so in addition to Changchun Gong Qi Refining Chapter, he also left two elixir prescriptions for the original body: Bigu San and Zhongmiao Wan.

As for why a good outer disciple of Yaowang Sect has a strange prescription for aphrodisiac, it is not something Luo Chen can know.

 Later, as Luo Chen traveled through time, he sold elixirs at the market of casual cultivators, and occasionally chatted with some casual cultivators, and gradually learned more about elixirs.

Hmm, those people don’t know how to make elixirs, but they are always picky when buying things.

 After going back and forth, I can always get something to say.

 What gained him the most was undoubtedly the book "Qing Yuan Dan Jie" given to him by Mi Shuhua.

That is a foundation-building monk, but he is an alchemy master who has refined third-level elixirs.

Up to now, Luo Chen is still studying "Qing Yuan Dan Jie" every day, and the more he reads, the more new it becomes.

He benefited a lot from the several alchemy techniques recorded above.

 Jade-folding hands is a technique I recently learned, and it has a miraculous effect on processing mineral materials.



Through this knowledge of alchemy, Luo Chen gradually understood the entire alchemy system.

 For example, the division of elixir levels.

This world is rich in spiritual energy and resources, and is manifested by the laws of the great road. If there are things that are born in response to the great road, they will often have corresponding patterns.

Such as monster animal bone patterns, inner alchemy pill patterns, ancient wood annual rings, strange mineral traces, etc.

 What’s surprising is that the elixirs refined by humans actually have corresponding Dao patterns.

The world calls it red pattern, and because the pattern is like misty clouds, it is also called cloud pattern.

The number of cloud patterns determines the grade of an elixir.

  If there are no cloud patterns, then the elixir is not in the first level.

 Why is Luo Chen’s Bigu Powder always said to be unpopular?

 The reason is that after the potency of the medicine is stabilized, there are no cloud patterns on the pills, and even the top-grade Bigu Powder is not popular.

 But this time, Luo Chen raised his Bigu Powder proficiency to the Great Perfection level.

 The refined elixir has a cloud pattern.

Although there is only one wisp, it also represents entering the rank.

“Let me try it. How is the medicine?”

Luo Chen swallowed it without hesitation.

 He is still sure of what he has refined.

 After swallowing, a feeling of fullness gradually develops.

The feeling is just like the feeling of laziness after eating just now.

 “What is the power of this medicine?”

Luo Chen hesitated a little, rubbed his stomach, and then became thoughtful.

“Compared with the lower-grade Bigu Powder, the medicinal power contained in it is increased by ten times. Compared with the upper-grade Bigu Powder, it is about three times more powerful.”

 The lower grade Bigu Powder can ensure that monks will not be hungry for three days.

High-grade Bigu Powder can support normal activities for about ten days.

Now this top-quality Bigu Powder can prevent Luo Chen from feeling hungry for a month.

“Before, it was Bigu Powder refined with Xuanyun Cauldron. With two raw materials, it was supposed to produce a hundred pills.”

“But in the end, I only got about fifty ointments and this high-grade pill.”

“In other words, it took a whole set of raw materials to obtain this top-quality Bigu Powder.”

 After getting this answer, Luo Chen was a little dissatisfied.

Whether it is in terms of external sales profits or internal energy conversion, it is a loss.

From this point of view, even if Bigu Powder reaches Dzogchen, it will not play a big role in earning resources for his practice.

Possibly, the only advantage is that with this elixir, you don’t need to take other bigu powder frequently during long-term retreat.

“The best Bigu Powder should be comparable to the orthodox low-grade Bigu Pill.”

 Sighed, Luo Chen was slightly restrained from the joy of reaching the Great Perfection level due to his proficiency in a certain elixir.

 That is the fact.

Some things in the world are not always satisfactory.

What’s more, he was also mentally prepared.

 After all, Bigu Powder itself is just a low-grade elixir.

 The system can upgrade it to the first level of low-grade, which is already extraordinary.

Moreover, doesn’t it also provide an achievement point?

Glancing at the attribute panel, I saw that the number of achievement points had reached 16 points due to the promotion of the Spiritual Eye Technique to the Grandmaster level, the Mountain-Opening and Tablet-Breaking Palm to the Proficient level, and the Bigu Powder to the Great Perfection level.

 The more achievement points, the more at ease Luo Chen feels.

 In order to learn other elixir recipes later, you still need a lot of achievement points.

Looking at the achievement point, Luo Chen suddenly thought of an idea.

“If I refine a large amount of low-level elixirs and learn some secular martial arts, can I rack up achievement points? And then directly give me a second-level elixir recipe like the Blood Demon Pill to get started?”

As soon as this idea came up, Luo Chen couldn't help but think about it.

 But after a while, he slapped himself.

 What are you thinking about?

 Do you have a lot of time?

Normally, I don’t have enough time to practice alchemy. The extra time is squeezed out to practice spells and study alchemy knowledge.

He also took care of more secular martial arts that were not important. He was really full.

 Furthermore, the benefits brought by those things are too little.

It's okay to practice one or two occasionally, but it's absolutely impossible to get addicted to it.

 “This kind of thing needs to be done within one’s ability.”

“And if your level is high, you won’t need to spend too many achievement points to get started with the elixir recipe of the corresponding level.”

After thinking through this section, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel relaxed, feeling much better both physically and mentally.

Luo Chen was thoughtful about this sudden sense of relief.

 Could it be that just now, I almost fell into a demonic obstacle again?

 Since ancient times, taking shortcuts often leads to bad outcomes.

 If you really get addicted to it, you may be in trouble.

 …

“Today I got pills, fifty-two Bigu Pills, the lower, middle and upper ratios are 721. Zhongmiao Pills are twenty, and the lower, middle and upper ratios are 451.”

 “The income from the alchemy room shall be recorded in a book.”

 Listening to Danshi Yang reporting the data to Gu Caiyi, Luo Chen nodded aside.

 His own methods of controlling the level of Chengdan have become more and more proficient.

Elixirs may fail or succeed, and their grades may be high or low. This will not arouse suspicion or cause the gang to lose confidence in him.

 He has a good handle on this degree so far!

Phew!

A strong wind blew, the light of the magical weapon converged, and the figure of Sikong Shoujia emerged.

 “Hall Master Luo, this is "The Art of Flame Making".

　　Taking the thin booklet, Luo Chen flipped through it and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Elder Sikong. Did you encounter any trouble?"

Sikong Shoujia laughed and said, "I didn't encounter any trouble. I thought I would have to argue with Mi Junping, but unexpectedly, she was much more generous this time. Maybe it's also because the "Flame Making Technique" is not a subtle spell. Bar!"

 The "Flame Enchanting Technique" is indeed not an exquisite spell. It has neither offensive power nor defensive capabilities.

 It just improves the monk's flame control skills.

 It can be listed as a first-level spell because it is very helpful to alchemists.

 But she didn't know that this technique was not that simple for Luo Chen.

“With this thing, it may be possible to improve some of the shortcomings of my Dzogchen Fireball Technique.”

Thinking of the Dzogchen Fireball Technique and the embarrassing situation of letting it go but not taking it back, Luo Chen now felt confident.

As long as you learn the Flame Control Technique, you may be able to take the power of the Dzogchen Fireball Technique to a higher level!

 …

 …

Life in Dantang, after getting over the initial novelty, became as ordinary as water.

 The monks inside, under the leadership of Gu Caiyi, are familiar with the Baicao Illustrated Book and the Flame Technique.

 Helping Luo Chen's alchemy work more and more.

 As a result, he had more time to do his own things.

 One month later, in the primeval forest ten miles behind Xianyue Valley.

　　簌簌.

 The grass was trembling, and a rabbit with red eyes was running away like a mad enemy, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

Behind it, the huge bush looked like it had been run over by a tank, and a gray wolf that was as tall as a man and about three meters long suddenly jumped out.

 The speed was so fast that he was already above the rabbit in almost the blink of an eye.

Falling down in the air, he grabbed the rabbit with one claw, and the gray wolf stuffed it directly into his mouth.

 The juices of flesh and blood flowed down from the gaps between the teeth as the ferocious teeth closed.

 The gray wolf seemed not satisfied after eating this rabbit, and continued to wander in the forest, looking for more prey.

 Suddenly, its footsteps stopped.

Smell slightly with your nose, there seems to be something smell in the air.

 His eyes wandered, but he found nothing.

Right in front of him, on the branch of a giant tree, a man wearing moon-white robes was looking at it carefully. A first-order monster, gray leaf wolf.

The strongest among the low-level demon wolves, their strength is comparable to that of the human race in the late stage of Qi refining, and their recovery ability is extremely strong. It often requires many people to hunt them down before they can be killed.

“The strange thing is that gray leaf wolves usually hunt in groups, but this one actually hunts alone.”

This person is none other than Luo Chen.

During these days, when he has a little free time, he will go to the forest behind Xianyue Valley to practice his spells.

 Occasionally, he will encounter some low-level monsters, but with his various methods, he can basically kill them easily.

 Occasionally he would encounter some wolves, but he would just avoid them.

This forest can be regarded as the outer area of ​​Xiaoyue Mountain Range.

Although Xiaoyue Mountain Range is also adjacent to Dahefang, it is not the main hunting area of ​​the monks.

 The main reason is that demon wolves tend to be fast and have a keen sense of smell, so they are not suitable for hunting.

The few times Luo Chen encountered wolves, he basically relied on master-level breath-containing spiritual techniques and extremely fast body skills to avoid them.

 But this time, he was a little moved.

 “The lone gray leaf wolf is a very good opponent!”

 Bindly looking for weak monsters to practice with will not produce a good training effect.

  In comparison, the gray leaf wolf is very important.

With a thought in his mind, Luo Chen waved his hand.

 Seven green rays of light suddenly flew out.

Almost the moment he took action, the Breath Condensation Spirit Art lost its function of concealing the aura, and the active spiritual power fluctuations instantly fell into the eyes of the demon wolf.

 “Woo!”

With a whimper, the gray leaf wolf advanced instead of retreating!

 In this area, their demon wolf clan is undoubtedly the top of the food chain, and they have never been afraid of anyone.

 Especially the enemy in front of me does not look strong.

 As it jumped up, the surging demonic power immediately spread.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

 Seven green rays of light flew away feebly like hitting steel.

Luo Chen's eyes flashed, and he used his traction technique again, and the jade sword that had been swung away suddenly surrounded him.

The Jasper Sword Formation took shape in an instant!

“The master-level traction technique, coupled with my spiritual knowledge foundation that is twice as good as that of ordinary monks, has allowed me to control this set of medium-grade magical instruments to the point of perfection.”

"However, with this method, I'm afraid I can't help but defeat this demonic wolf."

As expected, the formed sword array only left a few blood marks on the Gray Leaf Wolf's body before it was swatted away with a claw.

One of the wooden knives was even more dim, and it must have been seriously damaged.

 “However, my methods are not limited to this!”

"rise!"

 Luo Chen’s eyes were sharp, and his tactics suddenly changed.

In the forest, which was overgrown with vegetation and shrubs, green vines suddenly flew out.

 It clawed at the demon wolf with its fangs and claws.

Facing this attack, the demon wolf beast showed disdain in its eyes and rushed towards Luo Chen's demon body without hesitation.

Every time the vines caught on it, it would be broken directly after just a slight delay.

Not only that, when it waved its wolf claws, it hit Luo Chen with yellow-green blades.

 It was an attack formed by the condensed demonic power.

Luo Chen was unhurried, his robes fluttered, and he even stepped back.

Xiaoyaoyou combined with the Wind Control Technique makes him extremely agile in mid-air.

Especially because there are many giant trees nearby, they can block most of his attacks.

While retreating, he shot out fireballs one after another, mixed with dozens of colorful beads using a special technique.

 The appearance of the fireball spell made Gray Leaf Wolf a little cautious.

 This is the method of human monks!

 But that’s all.

The speed is too slow to hit him.

Rather, the beads hit him one after another, and when they exploded, his skin and flesh were torn apart.

The gray leaf wolf is an earth-type monster. It is not fast among its kind, but its body is tough and its recovery ability is extremely strong.

 He is good at long-term combat, so he has strong combat power.

 These minor injuries only made him angrier.

That **** human being is too fast and doesn’t fight it head-on.

Like this, after dozens of breaths, the gray leaf wolf stopped.

 The instinct of a beast makes it dislike the rhythm of being led along by others in a battle.

 It is ready to slip away.

However, just when it was about to turn around, the beast's eyes widened and its tail was subconsciously curled up.

Wherever he looked, the fireballs that had not hit him before were faintly surrounding him.

 “It must be very uncomfortable to be kited by me all the time!”

At some point, Luo Chen had reached the top of a nearby giant tree.

 “Then I’ll give you a decent way to die!”

"combine!"

With a thought in his mind, his fingers flew intertwined like flowers.

As he moved, threads of spiritual power pulled the fireballs flying in all directions, criss-crossing along specific trajectories, and pounced on the demonic wolf.

 “Ouch!!”

The demon wolf roared loudly, and all its demonic power exploded.

 A streak of earthy yellow light enveloped the whole body.

 However, even with this defense, under the continuous attacks of the more than twenty fireballs, there was no way to save the situation.

 After five breaths.

 Luo Chen fell from the sky.

 Looking at the blazing pit, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh.

“It’s a pity that this body of fur is so good. If it were complete, it would be worth ten spiritual stones.”

"This piece of monster meat must weigh one or two thousand kilograms, and dozens of spiritual stones."

“And these bones, alas, why are my hands so cheap!”

Luo Chen was very upset, the crystal clear spirit stone was gone!

"It's better to run away first. The roar it made before it died may be calling for the same kind of people. Don't stay here for a long time!"

Luo Chen did not hesitate, jumped up, and disappeared like a big bird outside the primeval forest lined with giant trees.

On the way back, Luo Chen thought about the battle just now and looked for his own shortcomings.

 Looked around but couldn’t find it!

 “I am indeed a fighting genius!”

 In this battle, he only used conventional means.

Jasper Sword, Winding Technique, Fire Ball Technique, Hunyuan Chalcedony Bead, Xiaoyaoyou and Wind Control Technique.

 He has no use for the other Soul-Breaking Nails and Fireball Fusion Technique at the bottom of the box.

 But even with conventional methods, under this kiting style, it is very easy to deal with the gray leaf wolf that is comparable to the late stage of Qi Refining.

 From beginning to end, the rhythm of the battle was always under Luo Chen’s control.

Especially the last move of the fireball encirclement, which made Luo Chen extremely satisfied.

"The Flame Technique really has a blessing effect on the fireball technique. The original flying fire and flowing fireflies have now become more agile and even unexpected."

“If it were Brother Qin, I’m afraid he would be hit hard due to carelessness!”

"There is also the hidden weapon technique of Tiannu Scattering Flowers. I used the Hunyuan Pearl technique to play out the waste chalcedony elixir and detonated it as a disposable consumable. Under a large number of attacks, it is not weaker than a normal magic weapon at all. The subtlety of it is, What’s more, it doesn’t require long-term spiritual control.”

“If you fight against a monk, the effect will be even better!”

Chalcedony waste elixir has no effect at all. It is just because it contains the material of first-level spiritual material Huan jade, so it is quite hard.

 After detonating it, a single bead is not very powerful.

But if you use the Hunyuan Pearl technique to detonate dozens or hundreds of them instantly, the power will be extremely impressive.

Luo Chen thought about these things and felt that he had gained a lot in this month!

 The entanglement technique that I first learned finally reached the master level. Although the offensive and defensive effects are not good, it is very good at blocking and trapping enemies.

The Breath Condensation Spirit Art has also been practiced to the proficiency level, which is far beyond Chen Xiuping's initial level. With the demon wolf's keen sense of smell, he was not discovered at the first time.

As for the proficiency level of other healing techniques and the proficiency level of Mountain Breaking Tablet Palm, he swept them all away.

 And because his proficiency in these spells continued to increase, his achievement points also jumped to 19 points.

With these master-level and perfect-level spells, combined with his ever-improving kite-flying fighting style, Luo Chen is confident that he is capable of facing the vast majority of late-stage Qi-refining monks.

If he waits until he reaches the seventh level of Qi Refining, he will have nothing to fear from some ninth-level Qi Refining monks who don’t have good magic weapons.

“Perhaps only those few masters with top-quality magic weapons on the forum could pose a threat to me!”

Luo Chen thought of the scene of the eighteen monks fighting to the death, the strange formation flags, fragments of magic weapons, sword pills, blood methods, Qin Liangchen's self-destruction style, Wang Yuan's tyrannical physique, etc.

 He could only shake his head and sigh.

Those are simply not something that ordinary ninth-level Qi Refiners can possess.

I can only say that it was basically a competition between two big gangs and two foundation-building monks!

How can ordinary Qi refining monks get the best defensive robes and the best flying swords?

Thinking about all this, Luo Chen had already flown into Xianyue Valley.

As soon as he entered the alchemy hall, Sikong Shoujia came up to him.

“Hall Master Luo, the main altar has announced that a gang meeting has begun. Do you think it’s time for us to go there?”

 “Starting a gang?”

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up and he waved his hand!

 “Walk!”

The first-order results won’t be released until tomorrow, but today they have already exceeded 1,000, which is relatively good!

And the editor took advantage of me and gave me a new book recommendation, which will be published next week.

Haha, heaven and earth are united in times, thank you brothers for your strong support.
