Longevity begins with alchemy master

Dansheng blessed land.

Where Danshan originally stood was covered by a large lake with a radius of one hundred miles.

The lake was calm, without a single ripple, and the water was pitch black, as if it could swallow everything.

Ming Lake!

This is the name of the lake.

Originally there was no Ming Lake in the blessed land. It was created nine years ago.

On that day, the entire Dan Sheng blessed land was shaking, and a huge gap appeared at the limit of the sky. A large amount of black water and golden flames poured in from the outside world, almost destroying the entire blessed land space.

At that time, Luotian Sect's leader Li Yingzhang urgently called on all his disciples, and they were all ready to escape from Dansheng Blessed Land.

But soon after, the strange phenomena in heaven and earth disappeared.

The gap in the sky naturally filled up, and all the terrifying golden flames disappeared. Only a huge amount of black water remained, forming such a daunting lake.

It is said.

The strange phenomena in heaven and earth nine years ago were caused by the practice of the Supreme Elder, and it was finally resolved by the Supreme Elder himself.

But because of this, the Supreme Elder suffered backlash, was seriously injured, and fell into a deep sleep.

Minghu is the resting place of the Grand Elder.

As for when he will wake up, the people of Luotian Sect have no way of knowing.

But the entire sect has already listed Ming Lake as a forbidden area, completely blocked it off, and sent strong men to patrol and guard it day and night.

This kind of guarding is not just superficial. The staffing arrangements show the importance the sect attaches to this matter.

There is a permanent Nascent Soul elder and five Golden Core cultivators stationed here. In addition, a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators roam around the outside world all day long, blocking anyone from approaching.

The patrol guards are tentatively replaced every ten years.

In this first round, Fairy Canglong from Tianshan Peak volunteered to take on this task.

In her words, she had just stabilized her realm not long ago, and the first level of Nascent Soul realm could not be improved much by cultivation alone, and she had not made much contribution to Luo Tian Sect, so she could only do her bit to protect Luo Chen this time.

under night.

Canglong stood quietly by the lake, looking at the lake with complicated eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

There were light footsteps behind him, and Canglong asked without turning his head: "Have you checked everything?"

Fairy Jueqing hummed: "There are no problems with the magic arrays, no one will break in. In fact, we are in a blessed land, with the protection of the entire Luotian Sect, who can break in?"

Canglong said calmly: "After all, we have to be prepared for any eventuality."

Fairy Jueqing walked up to her and looked at Canglong's gentle profile curiously, "Senior Sister, are you worried about him?"

"How can I not be worried? He is the founder of Luo Tian Sect and also its spiritual symbol. It is because of him that everything can be unified. If something happens to him, the current Luo Tian Sect will surely fall apart!"

"Hiss, so exaggerated?"

“Let’s not talk about other things. Just the Piao Miao Peak lineage has become much more arrogant since Ling Fengzi broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. It must be because of Luo Chen’s reputation that they are suppressed. Otherwise, do you think Ling Fengzi doesn’t want to leave Luo Tian Sect and rebuild Piao Miao Sect?”

Fairy Jueqing nodded thoughtfully, but then she quickly came to her senses, "Senior Sister, I'm not talking about his importance to Luo Tian Sect, I'm saying that you are worried about him as a person?"

As she said this, Fairy Jueqing stared at Canglong with burning eyes, unwilling to miss any details.

Canglong frowned, "What do you mean?"

Fairy Jueqing hesitated for a moment, but finally whispered, "A few years ago, before he returned, rumors were spreading in the sect about your relationship with him."

"What's the relationship?" Canglong asked subconsciously.

Fairy Jueqing said helplessly: "What else can it matter? The disciples below are saying that you will become his third Taoist partner."

"Well..." Canglong chuckled.

Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, Fairy Jueqing said angrily, "Sister, that's your reputation. How can you let people talk about it? It would have been fine if you didn't stop the rumors from spreading before, but now that he's back, how can you just sit back and watch the rumors spread?"

In response, Canglong did not answer.

She stood quietly by the dark lake, the moonlight shining against her snow-white, almost transparent skin, and she looked like a Tianshan snow lotus.

Fairy Jueqing has been waiting for an answer, but her senior sister has not responded yet.

Gradually, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

"Senior Sister, you wouldn't..."

"Junior sister, do you know what I was thinking nine years ago, the moment before Luo Chen's spirit disappeared?"

Before Fairy Jueqing could finish her words, she was interrupted by Canglong.

She suppressed her shock and asked curiously, "Are you worried that Luo Tian Sect will fall apart?"

It's not surprising to have such concerns.

Because that’s what Canglong said before.

However, Canglong shook his head and said softly: "That was all the analysis I made after I calmed down. At the time, all I could think of was one thing: regret!"

"Regret?" Fairy Jueqing was puzzled: "Regret what?"

Canglong said naturally: "I regret not repaying my gratitude. Luo Chen continued the Ice Castle inheritance, rescued me, and helped me break through the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop. If he died before I could do anything, I would regret it for the rest of my life."

Fairy Jueqing said anxiously: "But this is not worth giving yourself to me!"

Canglong asked back: "For him now, how do you think I can repay him for his kindness? My exquisite body with seven orifices may be of some benefit to him."

The Fairy Jueqing opened her mouth, but all the thoughts that came to her mouth became futile.

That was the Dan Zong who fought his way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the Demon Slayer who fought against the three Demon Kings without dying, and the Luo Tian Tai Shang who single-handedly suppressed dozens of Ghost Kings of the Netherworld!

In front of a strong man of this level, what can an ordinary Nascent Soul come up with to impress Luo Chen?
And Senior Sister's exquisite physique with seven orifices can have the miraculous effect of forcibly raising the realm of cultivators of the same level by one level. This is undoubtedly the most precious reward, better than any panacea.

Fairy Jueqing swallowed her saliva, "So this is why you ignored the rumors in the sect and did nothing to stop them? You want to let it go and make it happen naturally, or even half-heartedly?"

Canglang may have already figured out the key, so he is particularly calm at this moment.

"That's about it. As long as Luo Chen mentions it, I won't refuse." At this point, Canglong's hand stroking his hair clenched slightly, "But after he came back, he never mentioned this incident at all, as if he didn't care about helping me at all. I thought if he didn't care, he would just let it go. But looking at his actions in recent years, he is full of urgency. He has worked hard to improve his strength, and even in the end he was greedy for merit and caused such a natural disaster. It can be seen that he is under great pressure. So I wanted to take the initiative at the beginning, but unfortunately when I got in front of him, I couldn't say those words to offer myself to him."

A cultivator has no worries in his heart.

But girls are shy after all.

Canglong sighed, "When his spirit and aura dissipated, I felt extremely regretful. If I had been braver, he might have reached a higher level. When encountering natural disasters, he might have been able to deal with them more calmly, and maybe he wouldn't have died."

"Sister, why do you have to do this?" Fairy Jueqing shook her head, not approving of this behavior, "He has two Taoist partners who are married to him!"

When Luo Chen was promoted to the Golden Core Stage, a Golden Core Formation Ceremony was held.

That ceremony was also the Taoist couple ceremony for him, Sima Hui Niang and Gu Caiyi. Coincidentally, it was Fairy Jueqing who represented Ice Castle in the ceremony.

In her opinion, Luo Chen already has two Taoist companions, which is already quite beyond the realm of possibility for a cultivator who pursues a pure mind and few desires. How could he possibly add one or two beautiful wives and concubines?
Judging from what Luo Chen has done over the years, he indeed does not have such an idea.

If the senior sister came forward, she would only attract criticism.

Especially there are rumors that Gu Caiyi is jealous!

Canglong smiled and said, "Since there are already two, why can't there be a third Taoist partner? For a great man like him, it is natural for him to have many wives and concubines."

Fairy Jueqing was stunned when she heard this and almost didn't recognize her own senior sister.

How could Fairy Canglong, who once valued the Ice Castle and was always steady in her dealings with others, say such reckless words?
Did those years of freezing damage his sanity?

Or will you let yourself go after you are no longer burdened by the sect?
Or was it that during those years when Luo Chen was treating Senior Sister, he secretly used some method to bewitch her?
Fairy Jueqing had no idea, and Canglong had no intention of explaining. Instead, after saying these words, he seemed visibly more relaxed.

"Fortunately, Luo Chen is fine. His spiritual aura reappeared soon after it disappeared. When he wakes up, I will express my feelings directly!"

"Senior sister!"

"and many more!"

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end.

Canglong raised his hand to interrupt the Jueqing Fairy's hesitation to speak, and his beautiful eyes fell on the center of the lake in the distance.

There, a vortex was slowly forming.

"He seems to be awake!"

Canglong said in surprise, and then immediately ordered the Jueqing Fairy.

"Hurry and notify the rest of the sect!"

Then, he summoned an ice bridge, crossed the increasingly turbulent waters of Ming Lake, and flew towards the center of the whirlpool.

……

The bottom of the lake.

A huge tripod stands steadily in it.

The surrounding area is filled with aquatic water, but it cannot corrode the body of the cauldron at all. Instead, a large amount of water vapor is immersed in it, as if the two are of the same origin.

Inside the cauldron, it was unexpectedly dry, and even felt scorching hot.

A figure was sitting cross-legged in the middle, with a thin layer of golden light covering his body.

If you look closely, you will find that the golden light is clearly a ball of golden flames that are burning continuously.

However, this flame was not burning anything real, but something illusory.

Suddenly!
The Taoist's eyelids, which had been silent for a long time, twitched for a moment, as if they would open their eyes at any time.

And in the sea of ​​consciousness, a huge soul has taken shape! At this moment, this soul is still illusory, but in terms of appearance and temperament, it is almost exactly the same as Luo Chenwai, and there is no difference.

What is quite different is that this soul is unusually strong and seems to be totally unafraid of thunder, fire, scorching sun and strong winds!

This is quite surprising.

You must know that the soul of a cultivator is extremely fragile. Only after cultivating the primordial spirit will he not be afraid of masculine things in the outside world.

That’s why there is a saying that “the ghost crosses to the world of the living and the primordial infant turns into a god.”

What Luo Chen didn't expect was that even if he didn't forcibly condense his primordial spirit, he could achieve such a level just by relying on his soul.

"Is this the transformation that comes with completing the last nirvana of the nine calamities and three nirvanas?"

"Directly possessing the signs of transformation into a god!"

The "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" records a method of transformation called Nine Tribulations and Three Nirrations.

The three nirvanas correspond to the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit, namely the nirvana of the body, the nirvana of magic power and the nirvana of the spirit.

Each transformation involves three different aspects.

The Nirvana of the Soul includes the Nirvana of the Soul, the Nirvana of the Spirit, and the Nirvana of the Mind. When Luo Chen first tried the Nirvana of the Soul on Cangwu Mountain, he failed for obvious reasons.

Not enough will!

At that time, he had no awareness of risking his life to survive, and he even made a lucky move of trying to use his split soul to achieve nirvana.

Failure is inevitable!

If he did not possess a Nirvana Fire Spirit, he would not have been able to learn the complete "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" at that time.

And this time, facing life and death, before the blessed land collapsed, and in front of the opportunity to achieve spiritual enlightenment in the future, he finally took this step without hesitation.

It was because of this that he managed to survive the last nirvana.

After passing this stage, Luo Chen realized how much benefit it would have brought to his practice if he had completed the Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvanas earlier.

You can directly possess suitable magic power, a terrifying physique for cultivation, and a soul with signs of transformation into a god in the Jindan stage.

I am only now in the late Nascent Soul stage and am about to take this step, which is really a bit slow.

"It's not too late!"

"Now that the soul itself is so stable, once it merges into the Nascent Soul to form the Primordial Spirit, it will definitely be more powerful than before."

“Maybe, I can use this to try to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage directly!”

Luo Chen had this feeling, as if it was there and not there.

With such a spiritual foundation, he could force his way to the Spiritual Transformation Stage without having to worry about the piece of his soul that was intercepted by Tianyuan Dao Sect.

This was not groundless expansion. After completing the Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvanas, he could clearly observe the state of his soul.

This is also one of its wonderful uses.

The three souls of heaven, earth and destiny are clearly visible.

The seven souls also exist in various parts of the body.

And that missing wisp of soul is extremely small.

Perhaps it was because it was so insignificant that Luo Chen did not notice it when Mo Shouzhuo secretly used the magic treasure to intercept it.

But for Luo Chen today, that wisp of soul is just a drop in the bucket of his huge spiritual foundation, and it may not really affect his breakthrough to the divine transformation.

"Want to bet?"

As soon as this thought came up, Luo Chen wiped it out in an instant.

After seeing the energy tornado that descended from the sky, he would rather fight with others than experience the mood of the thief heaven.

If I really fail to get promoted because of a small lack, I will have no place to cry.

"Let's just follow the previous plan step by step!"

After Luo Chen checked his soul, he turned his attention to his body.

It would have been fine if I hadn't looked at it, but when I did, I was shocked.

His entire body, meridians and acupoints are filled with vast amounts of magical power.

"These magical powers are too complicated!"

Luo Chen felt something was not right and immediately immersed his mind into the Purple Palace.

as predicted!

The Nascent Soul, which had previously grown to be exactly the same in appearance and size as him, had now become extremely bloated, like a balloon filled with water that could burst at any time.

A green fire tree was spreading its dense branches, surrounding it and continuously releasing a large amount of vitality to maintain the Nascent Soul state.

The moment Luo Chen's consciousness appeared, a feeling of fatigue instantly came from the green fire tree.

Luo Chen could only comfort her with a voice of: "Thank you for your hard work."

Afterwards, the withered and flourishing fire spirit slowly retracted its branches, and Luo Chen's soul immediately took over the Nascent Soul and began to quickly sort out the chaotic and huge magic power in his body.

When the origins of the two major laws of water and fire collided with each other, it brought about the initiation of the ocean of vital energy.

The number was simply too much, far exceeding the amount of a single law origin, and also exceeding the endurance limit of Luo Chen's Nascent Soul.

The consequences are what we have now.

The magic power became extremely complex, the Nascent Soul became bloated, and even the meridians and acupoints began to deform.

If it weren't for his success in body training and his flesh body not being blown up alive, and if it weren't for the withered and flourishing fire spirit automatically protecting its master once again when his soul was reborn into nirvana, I'm afraid Luo Chen would not have survived these nine years.

But as of now, there are still endless troubles.

Luo Chen knew very early on that the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth was a collection of various spiritual energies. Compared with spiritual energy of a single attribute, it was superior in quantity and omnipresence.

Although the gods claim to be able to harness the energy of heaven and earth to fight, that is just fighting. When they practice, they will still carefully choose the energy attributes that suit them.

At this moment, Luo Chen's body was filled with a huge amount of unrefined heaven and earth energy, which directly caused his realm to soar from the previous level close to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul.

But Luo Chen didn't want this.

Power that cannot be perfectly mastered is nothing but castles in the air no matter how high the realm is.

He must find a way to strip away the impure vital energy of heaven and earth.

Even if this was the gift from heaven and earth to him after he comprehended the great laws!

Luo Chen began to try to peel, clear, refine and purify, but the experiment was more troublesome than he had imagined.

There are simply too many!
If we really want to refine it bit by bit, I don’t know how long it will take.

Moreover, a large part of it tends to be water-attributed, which is brought about by understanding the origin of water.

However, he comprehended the origin of water by taking shortcuts, observing and learning from the springs of dark water, rather than by himself. His innate skills were of fire attribute, so when he refined and purified it, it was just like picking up sand with a needle.

From time to time, it would even cause a conflict of magical powers, damaging the meridians and acupoints that are already in a precarious situation.

"I had previously wanted to transplant the Mingshui Spring into the Purple Mansion and turn it into a being like the Withered and Flourishing Fire Spirit. Now that I think about it, I am simply courting death!"

After a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although the purple mansion he achieved with the five spiritual roots was extremely vast, it was large enough to accommodate the withered and flourishing fire spirits and the nirvana fire spirits… Hey, how did this nirvana fire spirit become so majestic and huge?

Surprises came one after another. Luo Chen was shocked to find that the Nirvana Fire Spirit, which was just like a small bird before, was now extremely majestic. Its hair was clearly visible, and its crest was like the scorching sun. It danced near the already tired Withered Fire Spirit, looking even more majestic!
"Is it because I have completely completed the Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvanas?"

"In that case, can my Nirvana Holy Fire burn the souls of the monks?"

Every time the Nine Tribulations and Three Nirrations are completed, the Holy Fire of Nirvana will undergo some miraculous changes.

From burning the physical body, to the mana that is the source of energy, and finally even being able to burn the soul!
This is also the reason why Qixia Yuanjun was able to suppress countless ghost cultivators in the Netherworld Abyss with the help of the Nirvana Holy Fire.

Luo Chen had no time to experiment with the changes in the Nirvana Holy Fire, just as he had no time to experiment with the duration of his current soul.

I had just woken up, and there were so many things to think about that I didn't know where to start.

Right now!

An ice bridge extends from the outside world.

Then an elegant figure stepped onto the ice bridge and walked into the Hunyuan Ding that shielded the filthy abyss water.

"Senior Brother Luo Chen, you are awake!" Canglong asked in surprise.

Luo Chen had naturally opened his eyes, looked at the person who came, and nodded slightly, "I'm sorry for causing you all trouble over the years."

Canglong smiled with relief, "I'm glad you're okay."

"fine?"

Luo Chen muttered to himself, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

How could he be okay with all this complicated magical power that was so bloated that it almost made him unable to move?

Seeing his rare helpless look, Fairy Canglong couldn't help but be curious, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Is there anything I can help you with?"

help?

Luo Chen suddenly thought of something, and looked up and down at the elegant and mature woman in front of him with his burning eyes.

"Junior sister, did you really mean what you said outside by the lake?"

Swish!
In just a moment, the woman who had been calm before had her slender neck flushed. (End of this chapter)
