Longevity begins with alchemy master

There is a busy scene on Danshan Mountain.

This mountain was once stained with a trace of Qixia Yuanjun's Nirvana Holy Fire, so it contains a strong fire energy, and even the spiritual vein attribute has completely turned to fire. For ordinary cultivators, it is not suitable for cultivation, but for alchemists, it is a natural treasure land.

Arrange the formation and build the alchemy room.

Pulling the earth's fire, he made the elixir.

This is the main theme of Danshan today.

The several jade slips that Luo Chen scattered that day contained several directions of his research on the Dihu Pill.

He handed it over to Qu Lingjun and four others, asking them to carry out corresponding experimental work according to the direction he had planned.

Picking herbs, sorting them, experimenting with proportions, controlling the heat...

Each task was carried out in an orderly manner with the concerted efforts of all the alchemists above the second level in Luotian Sect.

Luo Chen was not idle either.

He left a soul puppet stationed in Danchen Palace to control the overall situation. The original body left Danshan and brought Bai Meiling to a large lake inside Dansheng Blessed Land.

Looking at the vast lake, Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

As soon as the thought came to my mind, there was an immediate response.

"Moo..."

Along with a dull sound, ripples appeared in the calm lake and the huge body of the black turtle slowly emerged from the water.

When their eyes met, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

But under Luo Chen's gaze, the black turtle finally crawled down.

It tilted its head back and opened its mouth reluctantly.

The water from all around rushed in at once, and a strong red light appeared on its body.

Gradually, a crystal clear blood bead condensed in his mouth.

As the blood bead condensed, the aura of the black turtle continued to weaken.

When Bai Meiling saw this scene, she immediately realized what was happening.

The black tortoise actually forced out a large amount of essence and blood, condensing into such a blood bead.

As a result, the wild beast, the black tortoise, suffered a serious blow.

Bai Meiling couldn't help but wonder, her master was definitely not a bad guy, so why would he treat the loyal and honest black tortoise like this?
Luo Chen did not explain, he just stretched out his hand, and the bead containing a large amount of black tortoise blood fell into his hand.

Then Luo Chen raised his hand and sprinkled out a handful of pills, which entered the black turtle's mouth.

With the replenishment of these elixirs, the decline of the Black Turtle's momentum was finally stopped.

Luo Chen nodded, "I will remember your efforts. If I can achieve enlightenment one day, I will repay you with gratitude. Now, follow Xiaobai to collect souls!"

The black turtle responded softly, then carried Bai Meiling away from the Dansheng blessed land.

Looking at the beast and the ghost's departing backs, Luo Chen pursed his lips and said nothing.

The blood beads in my hand kept giving me a warm touch.

Considering the possible battles in the future, no matter how much preparation he makes, it can never be too much.

Of course, we cannot fall behind in our own defense either.

The Xuanchen Armor that he had spent so much effort to refine back then gradually lost its strength as his realm improved.

And during the trip to southern Xinjiang, it suffered great damage.

It can be said that if he had been protected by the Xuanchen Armor, his body would not have suffered such severe damage in the battle with Qingshuang.

Now that he is back to Luotian Sect, Luo Chen naturally has to get various materials to repair the Xuanchen Armor.

But just repairing it is not enough!
When the Xuanchen Armor was refined, the main material was a part of the remains of the Xuanyan Demon King, which was a top-grade item for Jindan cultivators. It was also pretty good for Yuanying cultivators.

But for me now, that would be too much of a stretch.

Therefore, Luo Chen took the essence and blood of the wild beast Black Turtle in order to increase the upper limit of the Black Chen Armor!

Even if this upper limit does not reach the spiritual treasure grade, it must be able to support his normal combat after he has transformed into a three-headed demon body.

……

In a side hall of Danshan.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged and cast a series of spells at a tattered black armor in mid-air.

The rare mineral materials that had been melted in the surrounding area were continuously immersed in it along with the guidance of these spells.

With a flash of spiritual light, the armor slowly extended and gradually returned to its original appearance.

At this point, Luo Chen still did not stop, but injected the blood bead squeezed out by the black turtle into it.

Suddenly, the hall was filled with brilliance!
"not enough!"

Luo Chen shook his hand, and five lotus seeds appeared.

It was exactly the five elements lotus seeds that were taken out from the top-grade five elements lotus platform that year!

That five-element lotus platform was almost spiritual and entered the fifth level. The five-element lotus seeds condensed from it were the ultimate essence of the five elements.

Unfortunately, these treasures cannot be used as medicine, so Luo Chen has the treasures but no place to use them.

But now, it has a good use.

Luo Chen pinched his fingers and the heaviest earth lotus seeds flew slowly towards Xuan Chen Jia.

In this way, one out of the five is removed.

Luo Chen thought about it, gritted his teeth and stopped hesitating, and the remaining four flew towards Xuan Chen Jia one after another.

The golden lotus seeds, wood lotus seeds, and even the fire lotus seeds were successively integrated into the Xuanchen Armor.

Only at the last water lotus seed did Luo Chen stop.

He looked at the Hunyuan Ding under the Xuanchen Armor, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

"That should be enough. This black turtle has a water attribute, and so does the blood bead it condenses. With the four lotus seeds, it can complete the five-element cycle. There is no need for this water lotus seed."

"And I may be able to use this item when I take back my soul later, so I'll keep it for a while!"

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen carefully collected the water lotus seeds.

Then he spewed out true fire and slowly melted the Xuanchen Armor.

He wanted to refine all four lotus seeds and the black turtle's original blood beads into the Xuanchen Armor. In this way, not only would the Xuanchen Armor's defensive power be greatly increased, but its upper limit would also be increased again.

If Luo Chen hadn't died, this treasure might have had a chance to be promoted to the level of a spiritual treasure in the future.

The weapon refining in the side hall was proceeding slowly, and the research progress on the Daigodan on Dan Mountain was also rapidly increasing with the passage of time.

One day, two days... one month, two months...

During this period, Luo Chen himself did not participate at all, and it was the split soul puppet that was in charge of the situation.

It was not until a year later that Luo Chen appeared leisurely.

Seeing Luo Chen, Qu Lingjun's tired face showed excitement and he hurried over to report the details.

"Master, we have ruled out the three scenarios you gave us, but there are still seven left."

"During this period, your soul-splitting puppet also personally experimented with the seven pill recipes, but all of them failed."

At this point, Qu Lingjun showed a puzzled look on his face.

"In fact, it shouldn't be like that. We all think that those seven recipes are the most suitable seven routes, especially three of them are almost perfect. Even the complete recipe of Daigodan is probably no better than this. But the constant failures have greatly dampened the confidence of the disciples."

Luo Chen nodded and held out his hand, "I know everything, leave the rest to me!"

Qu Lingjun hurriedly took out seven jade slips from his storage bag, each of which recorded a method of refining a kind of Dihu Pill.

After receiving the jade slip, Luo Chen fell into silence.

Qu Lingjun was puzzled and could only wait on the side.

After about a cup of tea, Luo Chen spoke.

He grabbed a jade slip and unfolded it in front of Qu Lingjun. "Use this method to prepare a large amount of relevant medicinal materials. Also, ask Sect Master Li for ten ounces of Broken Star Sand and a Bodhi tree. Use the orthodox method to process it."

Qu Lingjun was stunned, and then realized that this might be the true method of refining the Dihu Pill recognized by his master.

But he was still puzzled.

"This method has failed before, and even the signs of a successful pill have not appeared."

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Failure is common. Just like if I give you a correct formula for the Infant Formation Pill, can you succeed in refining it in one go? Failure in refining does not mean that there is something wrong with the formula."

Qu Lingjun asked again, "Then why do we need to add Broken Star Sand and Bodhi Wood?" Luo Chen patiently explained: "The word 醍醐 comes from the Buddhist meaning of enlightenment. The 醍醐 Pill is a pill that helps people understand, and our spiritual consciousness is like the grains of sand in the Ganges River, which is difficult to condense. Therefore, we need to use unconventional medicinal materials such as Broken Star Sand and Bodhi Wood as auxiliary. In this way, the medicinal properties of the 醍醐 Pill will be better."

Qu Lingjun blinked, "Master, are you so sure?"

"Just do it."

Luo Chen did not get angry at the rare questioning from his disciples.

Just now when he came into contact with the seven jade slips, he had already used the attribute panel to confirm their authenticity.

After a year of hard work by the Soul-Splitting Puppet and all the outstanding alchemists of the Luotian Sect, the complete recipe for the Dihu Pill was finally deduced.

It also fulfilled the pursuit of alchemists from all generations in the East Desert.

The reason why it took another half a cup of tea was that Luo Chen, with the knowledge of a great master of alchemy, added some extra medicinal materials to ensure that the effect of the refined Dihu Pill would be better.

And it has also been recognized by the system.

Creating something from nothing may be difficult, but for Luo Chen now, adding icing on the cake is just a piece of cake.

Qu Lingjun no longer hesitated and left.

Next, he will lead all the disciples to help Luo Chen prepare a large amount of basic medicinal materials needed for refining the Di Hu Dan. The time saved is also precious to Luo Chen.

On the contrary, Luo Chen fell into deep thought again.

The spiritual consciousness permeates and looks inward at one’s own body.

In the Purple Palace, Nascent Soul was wearing pitch-black armor and holding a small gray tripod.

At this moment, all his attention was focused on the small gray tripod.

The Mingshui Spring is right inside the Hunyuan Ding!
A year ago, when he was using the Hunyuan Ding to collect the Mingshui spring on Mount Yamafu, an unusual change occurred.

After the Mingshui Spring was taken in, it still resisted violently, and it took Luo Chen a huge amount of mana to suppress it.

But strangely, such fierce resistance disappeared in just a moment.

Luo Chen didn't think that his Hunyuan Ding was so powerful that it could suppress the Mingshui Spring in an instant.

But that’s the truth!
Over the past year, Luo Chen has not taken the initiative to explore the silent spring, but has been constantly thinking.

Gradually, he found a similar situation in his past experiences.

When he extracted the Jie Gu from his son Luo Lingxi, the Hunyuan Ding easily suppressed it.

Regardless of whether it is the Jie Gu or the Mingshui Spring, they are far superior to ordinary treasures in the world of immortal cultivation.

They each contain the true meaning of the law and can be regarded as a fifth-level treasure.

Why is it that the Hunyuan Ding can suppress them even more easily than suppressing ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators?
In the end, Luo Chen turned his suspicion to the ray of gray light that he had collected in the Meteorite Land that year.

"What the hell is that thing?"

"It was hidden in the Liantian Cauldron with great solemnity by Liantian Demon Lord. It must not be an ordinary thing."

"It has not shown its power for so many years. Even my spiritual sense cannot detect the slightest trace of it."

“But after I merged into that gray light, I felt as if I had divine help when refining weapons or pills.”

"Could it be a treasure related to the Dao of Refining?"

While deep in thought, Luo Chen had an idea that was about to take action.

The Mingshui Spring not only contains the origin of water, but also comes with extremely powerful filthy power!
Because it itself is condensed from the purest abyss water.

Even the Ghost King, whose body was condensed from the essence of the Abyss Water, was contaminated by it and was assimilated instead of being refined.

Even after the Mingyuan Sect seized this item, no one refined it completely and it was simply kept in the Tianming Palace.

With Luo Chen's current strength, he doesn't dare to refine this treasure by force, let alone dream of controlling the Netherworld Abyss.

But if the gray light absorbed by the Hunyuan Ding really has this unique ability, then Luo Chen can try to forcibly refine the Mingshui Spring.

Once successful, it may provide unexpected help for your next plans.

"Let's try refining the Daigodan first!"

Luo Chen made up his mind that he must give his all and concentrate fully when refining the elixir this time.

Not only should you pay attention to refining the Dihu Pill, you should also pay attention to the reaction of the Hunyuan Ding.

……

Qu Lingjun moved very quickly.

In other words, the alchemists of Luo Tian Sect really admired Luo Chen and put all their efforts into completing the tasks he assigned them.

Therefore, within a month or so, all the necessary preparations were completed.

Everything that happens afterwards is completely left to Luo Chen.

This time, Luo Chen did not dismiss others, but chose an open area on Dan Mountain and allowed all his disciples to watch him make the elixir.

"This time, the alchemy will definitely yield some results. How much you can learn from watching depends entirely on your luck!"

Luo Chen spoke slowly on the temporary platform.

The Hunyuan Ding has been summoned out and placed in place, with various medicinal herbs arranged in different categories nearby.

After hearing this, the hundreds of disciples around immediately took action.

One by one, they took out the jade bottle and dripped it into their eyes.

It's a transparent liquid!
Back then, the Jade Emperor Qingtong Liquid was researched by the Yuding Sword Sect and a substitute for the Runming Pearl Liquid was derived from it.

Due to Luo Chen's influence, all alchemists in Luo Tian Sect also developed the habit of using this medicine to enhance their eyesight.

At this moment, everyone was trying their best to watch the Grand Elder making the elixir.

Not only does it enhance eyesight, some people also burn incense to calm their minds and take medicine to strengthen their bodies, just to ensure that they don't miss any details.

Luo Chen smiled, and began to refine the Dihu Pill quietly and subtly.

His movements were neither fast nor slow. He mastered various alchemy techniques at will and tried his best to demonstrate the complete formulas. In particular, he explained the handling of the many medicinal materials during the refining process from time to time.

Perhaps this is the last time he makes the elixir in public, so let the younger generations see it clearly!
As for how much they can understand, it depends on themselves.

Time passed little by little, and the refining progress of the Dihu Pill was proceeding at a moderate pace, without any mistakes or omissions.

The alchemy skills displayed by Luo Chen amazed all the disciples.

Steady, natural, as if made by nature.

He uses various basic alchemy techniques to perfection.

The processing of medicinal materials, even the simplest techniques, are done to perfection.

And his control over the temperature was far beyond everyone's understanding.

During this period, people came from other places from time to time. They all came to watch because they heard that the Supreme Elder was personally making elixirs in public.

Even if you are not an alchemist, you still want to take a look at the charm of the Donghuang Alchemy Sect.

However, as the refining progress became more and more advanced, in the end, not to mention the other cultivators, even the second- and third-level alchemists could hardly understand Luo Chen's methods.

Qu Lingjun and Qi Yi could be said to be the best among them, but even they showed confusion on their faces when Luo Chen performed an unfamiliar alchemy technique.

"What kind of alchemy is that?"

"Why did the medicine liquid begin to change drastically when it clearly did not affect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor did it have any effect on the alchemy furnace or even the true fire?"

At this moment, Luo Chen had no time to explain.

Although the formula of Dihudan derived now is complete and has been approved by the system, it is not necessarily the original formula.

This is the result of his combination of the supplements of alchemy masters of all ages and his own understanding.

Especially in the most core part, he integrated the concept of refining the fifth-level magic pill Yanfa Pill back then.

Yanfa Pill, Tianji Pill, and Dihu Pill can be said to be of the same origin. They all assist cultivators to enter the state of enlightenment and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

In Luo Chen's opinion, if one wants to reach that mysterious realm, the participation of one thing is absolutely indispensable.

Inspiration!

Therefore, he used the profound alchemy technique he learned from the Alchemy Saint - Refining the Heavenly Secret!

Pry open the vitality of heaven and earth, capture the inspiration, and integrate it into the elixir!

As Luo Chen exerted his full strength, wind and thunder howled in the sky, and there was a faint and inexplicable aura emanating from the Dan Sheng Blessed Land.

Luo Chen's eyes shone with golden light and his face looked slightly happy.

"Sure enough, when the three great ancestors of Mingyuan Sect opened the Dansheng Blessed Land, they attracted some spiritual energy, which is just right for me to use now!" (End of this chapter)
