Longevity begins with alchemy master

It is no secret to Luo Chen that there is inspiration contained in the Dan Sheng blessed land.

When the Alchemy Temple was opened, Luo Chen verified it personally when he was practicing the alchemy art of refining heavenly secrets in the blessed land.

Perhaps the number is far less than the vast world outside, but it is more than enough to be used to refine pills.

At this moment, when Luo Chen was practicing the Refining Heaven Technique, the Dan Sheng Blessed Land seemed to vibrate, and a ray of spiritual inspiration came faintly.

With Luo Chen's red golden pupils that were becoming brighter and brighter through practice, he could see it clearly.

"It is said that the cultivation of the Divine Transformation cultivators needs to be in a place full of spiritual energy, to seek inspiration, to comprehend the true meaning of the deeper laws, and even to construct the Dharma image and travel in the ocean of vitality. If they master the magical alchemy technique of refining the heavenly secrets, can they practice anytime and anywhere without being restricted to the fifth-level spiritual veins?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Luo Chen focused his attention on the ongoing alchemy work.

That ray of inspiration quietly sank into the Hunyuan Ding.

Due to the incorporation of this inspiration, the medicinal liquid that had been reacting violently before began to condense rapidly.

Luo Chen was doing two things at once, paying attention to the formation of the Dihu Pill while carefully observing the changes in the Hunyuan Ding itself.

The formation of the Dihu Pill went very smoothly, as if the medicinal liquid naturally matched the inspiration, and even the speed was increased a lot.

And the Hunyuan Ding... everything is normal!
Luo Chen frowned, and although he was puzzled, he did not relax his vigilance.

But even after three days had passed and the cauldron was filled with the rich fragrance of elixir, he still didn't notice anything.

However, the disciples watching below, after smelling the fragrance of the elixir, held their breath and looked expectant.

Luo Chen didn't let them wait any longer.

When he sensed the right time, he used his unique method of collecting the elixir to carry out the finishing work.

Rays of light flew out from the cauldron one after another.

One, two, three... By the fifth one, it was finally empty.

Qu Lingjun, who was holding a jade plate below, heard a ding-dong sound coming from the plate. He looked over and saw five yellow and golden pills quietly falling into it.

"Done?"

He was somewhat incredulous and murmured, "Just once, and it worked?"

This miracle instantly ignited the atmosphere at the scene.

Many people found it unbelievable. Even though they had contributed to the completion of the recipe for the Dihu Dan, they still couldn't believe that it was successful in one try.

They even thought that even if the Alchemy Saint Chu Yan were alive, it would not be possible for him to succeed so easily!
But the Supreme Elder was so calm and composed, and he refined five of them naturally.

Luo Chen used a cleaning spell to simply clean the Hunyuan Ding.

Facing the fanatical gazes, he shook his head and chuckled.

"It was a bit of luck that I succeeded on the first try."

"Although the pill is made, its medicinal power is still not stable. If you want it to be ready for consumption, it needs to be nurtured in a place with rich spiritual energy for a few years before its medicinal power can be contained."

Although he said this, he still couldn't shake the admiration of his disciples.

Luo Chen didn't care and began to prepare to refine the second batch of Dihu Dan.

With the foundation of Luotian Sect and Deng Taiyue's efforts over the years, the amount of medicinal materials collected for Dihudan was huge.

It would be a waste to keep it, so why not strike while the iron is hot and refine it all in one go!

Unfortunately, the subsequent refining processes failed one after another.

The second time, everything was normal before, but the medicine liquid could not take shape when containing the spiritual energy, and he could only watch as the medicine liquid turned into medicine residue under the burning of the true fire.

The same thing happened the third time, and the fourth time.

After three consecutive failures, and each time occurring in the same place, even though Luo Chen had a strong will, he couldn't help feeling depressed.

The disciples had no objection to this, as what they saw was the Supreme Elder's incredibly stable alchemy skills, with every step being perfect.

Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it's just because you lacked a little luck.

And refining elixirs requires a bit of luck in itself, let alone this famous lost Dihu elixir.

Luo Chen had no time to pay attention to their thoughts and was still immersed in each subsequent alchemy session.

Gradually, Luo Chen also discovered it.

The problem may not be the elixir formula or elixir liquid, but the alchemy technique called "Lian Tian Ji".

The process of attracting spiritual inspiration requires the operation of the true meaning of the law, allowing the mind to blend with the heaven and earth. Part of my attention was diverted to observing the Hunyuan Ding, so I often missed the best opportunity.

As for the first success, it was really a fluke!
Therefore, Luo Chen no longer observed the Hunyuan Ding, but began to refine the elixir wholeheartedly.

Although the fifth time failed, it succeeded twice in the next seven attempts!

When Qu Lingjun excitedly presented the jade plate, Luo Chen's eyes fell on the fifteen golden pills, and he actually felt a little dazed.

All the medicinal materials were used for a total of twelve refining processes.

And the number of successes was as many as three times!

This success rate has already far exceeded the entry-level proficiency.

In other words, he broke the normal rules of the proficiency panel.

This kind of situation has happened before, but it was only successful once at most.

But this time, there were three successes!
"Is it the qualitative change caused by my Grandmaster-level alchemy skills, or is it the blessing effect brought by the Hunyuan Ding?"

Luo Chen stroked a golden pill. He was unable to judge the grade at the moment, but these fifteen pills were at least at the fourth level.

He exhaled, "Let's take it to Shenxiu Peak to nourish it! Min Longyu has already set up the best spirit gathering array there, and he will personally look after this batch of Dihu Pills."

"Yes, Master!"

Qu Lingjun nodded respectfully, then led a group of tired disciples to retreat one after another.

Danshan, which has been bustling for more than a year, has finally returned to peace.

Luo Chen's face remained calm, but the doubts in his heart lingered for a long time. He stared at the Hunyuan Ding which had not yet been put away in silence.

"Brother Luo Chen has clearly succeeded in refining the elixir this time, why does he still look a little depressed?"

An elegant and gentle voice came from the side. Luo Chen did not turn around, but he had already discovered that it was Canglong.

He pursed his lips and reached out to take back the Hunyuan Ding which was still emitting residual warmth.

"It's just some doubts about practice, it can't be called depression."

Turning around, Luo Chen looked at Canglong and asked curiously, "Junior sister, what's the matter?"

This time, it was Canglong's turn to hesitate.

Luo Chen looked at her in confusion. The woman opened her beautiful mouth slightly, then closed it again. This happened again and again, but she still didn't speak.

This indecisive look is unlike the Fairy Canglong that Luo Chen knows.

He could only smile and say, "If you need any help, just tell me. If you don't tell me now, I don't know when you will see me again."

Canglong was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "You just came back, are you leaving again?"

Luo Chen brushed his sleeves, as if brushing off the smell of fireworks brought by days of alchemy.

He walked towards the Danchen Palace, saying as he walked, "I will leave, but not now. Next, I will go into deep seclusion for a period of time. All matters in the sect have been arranged."

After saying that, he blinked and asked, "Junior sister, are you really alright?"

Canglong pursed his pretty little lips.

Luo Chen smiled and said, "See you next time!"

After saying this, Luo Chen stepped into the deserted Danchen Palace.

With just a wave of his sleeves, the two thick doors slowly closed.

Canglong looked at the gradually disappearing figure, and somehow his shoulders drooped, and he seemed to be relieved.

……

After returning to Danchen Palace, Luo Chen did not go into seclusion to practice directly, but had a good sleep first.

This sleep lasted for three days and three nights.

When he woke up, he felt refreshed and full of energy.

The fatigue brought by the recent alchemy was completely swept away.

In the main hall.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the cushion, and a stream of magical power hit the center of the hall.

next moment!
hum...

As a dull voice sounded, the slightly dark hall suddenly became bright. The lines of the formation flickered, and the nodes began to spew spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of the entire Danshan Mountain began to gather towards the Danchen Hall, and even several large spiritual veins nearby were supplying spiritual energy here.

This arrangement was made by Min Longyu himself over the past ten years since he left, just to provide Luo Chen with the best environment for cultivation.

After slightly sensing the concentration of spiritual energy, Luo Chen showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

Although it is far inferior to the fourth-grade top-grade cave in Cangwu Mountain, it is at least at a fourth-grade mid-grade level.

"But it's still not enough!"

Luo Chen's mind moved, he took out the Wanzhen Gu, and set up a powerful spirit gathering formation.

In this way, with the support of the two large formations, the speed and range of extracting spiritual energy are greatly increased.

With Danshan as the center, the spiritual veins within a radius of ten thousand miles seemed to be inspired and all supplied huge spiritual energy to this hall.

"Such a concentration is comparable to that of a fourth-grade upper-grade cave!"

After doing all this, Luo Chen took out the Hunyuan Ding.

clang!
His eyes fell on the gray cauldron, Luo Chen's face showed a thoughtful look.

"Do you want to refine the Mingshui Spring now?"

After hesitating, Luo Chen decided to give it a try first.

He mobilized his magic power, and a raging flame enveloped the Hunyuan Ding.

And in the space inside the cauldron, the quiet spring began to vibrate violently as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

To refine a spring does not mean to eliminate it into nothingness, but to eliminate the will of birth within it, and then replace it with one's own spiritual consciousness.

In this way, you can completely control the Mingshui spring.

The withering and flourishing divine fire is only an external threat, and the real focus of refining should be on the soul!
Luo Chen did not hesitate. The eight souls in his body cooperated with the main soul to exert power at the same time, expanded his spiritual consciousness, and rushed into the Hunyuan Cauldron.

In just a moment, Luo Chen's expression froze.

Time passes quickly.

After about an incense stick of time, a blush suddenly appeared on Luo Chen's stiff expression.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spit out, flames blazed, and Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Luo Chen's expression became slightly gloomy.

Failed!
This is reasonable, yet unexpected.

With the suppression of the Hunyuan Ding, the Mingshui Spring could not escape.

But once you try to wear down the opponent's will, you will face a huge counterattack, and that will may even try to pollute and assimilate your soul.

Luo Chen was unwilling to fail, so he used his vast spiritual power to fight against him, but he was always inferior.

"Is this the reason why the Ghost King failed?"

The soul is not strong enough, no matter how many there are, they cannot erase the will that seems to be created by heaven and earth.

Luo Chen fell into deep thought again.

After a long time, the originally gloomy look gradually faded away.

Luo Chen took a top-grade Great Soul Pill left in Luo Tian Sect, which restored his spiritual foundation, and his complexion gradually improved.

"Since the strength is not enough, let's make it stronger!"

"If the divine consciousness doesn't work, then use the divine thoughts. If the Nascent Soul can't be formed, then use the Nascent Soul!"

"Anyway, I have a plan to practice in this area!"

Luo Chen muttered to himself and began to recite Buddhist scriptures silently.

It was the "Moonlight Purifying Heart Mantra" taught to him by Master Xuan Du, the Lord of the Pure Land of Glaze. This mantra can help him cleanse his soul and forcibly condense his primordial spirit.

At this moment, as he chanted, the eight souls in the sea of ​​consciousness merged into the main soul, and in an instant, they formed an incomparably tall golden giant that seemed to have created the world.

This is Luo Chen’s complete main soul!

If the Nascent Soul and the divine soul are completely integrated, it will be able to form the Yuanshen that countless Nascent Soul True Immortals dream of, and it will be only one step away from the realm of transformation!
With a thought, the barrier of the Purple Mansion opened wide, and the Nascent Soul escaped and flew out from the top of his head.

The Nascent Soul floated above Luo Chen's head, its big eyes looking at the world curiously.

Countless golden lights emanated from Luo Chen's sea of ​​consciousness and began to wrap around his Nascent Soul, attempting to merge with it.

But with the forced fusion, the Nascent Soul became more and more painful.

"pain?"

"Is it that the Nascent Soul is not strong enough to carry the soul? Or is it that the soul has too many distracting thoughts and cannot achieve absolute fusion?"

Luo Chen's mind flashed, and then he made a decision.

With a wave of his hand, a stream of light flew out and floated above the Nascent Soul.

It was the Chenyuan Immortal Mirror that he had painstakingly refined back then!

When Luo Chen refined this item, in addition to saving Canglong, he also intended to use it to temper his soul.

However, he later had the help of the Great Soul Pill and the large amount of soul stones he obtained from the adventure at the Cliff of Broken Souls. He no longer needed the tempering effect of the Chenyuan Immortal Mirror.

But at this moment, the Chenyuan Immortal Mirror just happened to come in handy!
Rays of light poured down, and the little Nascent Soul felt as if it was in a dream. Even the pain of the fusion of spirit and soul seemed to be alleviated a lot.

Amidst the golden light, the fusion of the two was getting faster and faster.

However, a few days later, Luo Chen groaned and had to forcibly interrupt the fusion process.

With a wave of his hand, the magic mirror fell into his hand, and Luo Chen shook his head.

"The illusion brought by the magic weapon is just an illusion after all. If you want to integrate it, you still have to rely on the Moonlight Purifying Heart Mantra."

Yes, I have only been practicing the "Moonlight Purifying Heart Mantra" for a short time and my attainments are not enough, so I am unable to integrate the primordial spirit.

"In that case..."

Luo Chen's eyes showed a thoughtful gleam, and a stern look emerged.

If he wants to face the God of Transformation in the future, he must make sure that he does not have any shortcomings.

Whether it is supernatural powers, magic weapons, or the physical body and soul.

He must master the "Yuehua Qingxin Mantra" to the point where he can condense his primordial spirit within a short period of time.

So, we have to take a shortcut!
And Luo Chen has already arranged this shortcut for himself.

The Nascent Soul enters the palace and the spirit and soul return to their place.

A precious mirror hangs on the building, and the Buddhist mantras are spoken from the mouth.

A huge flag, with Luo Chen as the center, was unfurled.

In an instant, gusts of cold wind and countless cries of ghosts and howling of wolves attacked Danchen Palace, and even penetrated through the hall and affected the entire Danshan Mountain.

Luo Chen looked at the ghostly cries coming towards him in the gloomy wind, his face full of determination.

This soul-nourishing banner stores all the ghosts transferred from the soul-refining banner.

There are dozens of Ghost King-level beings inside!

Although they were suppressed by the Soul Banner and could not escape or use various means, their normal instinctive soul attacks were not affected.

Now that I am in the Soul-Nourishing Banner, the resentment that is imprisoned in them now has a target to vent.

If it were someone with a weaker spirit, he would probably be shattered by the first impact.

But Luo Chen stood still like a mountain.

The eight souls reappeared, the Prison Soul Technique protected the sea of ​​consciousness, and the Chenyuan Immortal Mirror unfolded layers of illusion arrays to conceal his true body.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and made a bold statement.

"Please help me practice!"

After hearing these wild words, all the ghosts became extremely angry and launched even stronger spiritual attacks.

This kind of confrontation is no longer a contest of spells and magic weapons, but the purest and most dangerous confrontation of souls.

Overwhelming pressure rolled in, but Luo Chen remained as still as a mountain, but the spell he chanted became faster and faster.

Calm your mind, restrain your thoughts, and finally reach a state of no thoughts under the moonlight and clarity of heart.

On the attribute panel, the proficiency of the Moonlight Purifying Heart Mantra began to soar at a speed visible to the naked eye. (End of this chapter)
