Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 1024: Innate Spiritual Body, Mayfly World

The Shanhai calendar lasts for 3,681 years.

After moving to Bailuze, the Zhou family stopped all external conflicts and just wanted to recuperate and restore their strength.

It was rumored that the ancestor of the Zhou family, who was about to die, took out his life savings to support the high-level cultivators in the family to reach a higher level. At the same time, he also encouraged some low-level clan members with poor qualifications to have children to add to the family.

This is exactly the two-pronged approach, replenishing high-level combat power from the top and replenishing the basic population from the bottom.

Not only that, the ancestor of the Zhou family also personally met with the patriarchs of the Qingtong Lin family outside Bailuze and the Yin family in Hanjiang Valley, and reached a covenant with them to live in harmony and develop side by side.

The process was smooth.

The Qingtong Lin family and the Hanjianggu Yin family were just ordinary members of the countless poor families of the Tianyuan Dao Sect, and the so-called clan leaders were just Jindan cultivators. Faced with the humbleness of the Yuanying Zhenren like the Zhou family ancestor, they were naturally happy to accept it.

In this way, the Zhou family's uneasy situation facing the outside world seemed to have stabilized.

At least, before the Zhou family's ancestor passed away, the alliance formed by the one Yuanying family and the two Jindan families was temporarily stable in the Tiannan Continent. In terms of strength, with the Zhou family's ancestor at the sixth level of Yuanying sitting in the seat, and in terms of relationships, the Lin and Yin families were also considered Daoist forces, and no one would deliberately come to cause trouble.

As for when the Zhou family ancestor will die?

Although there are many speculations from the outside world about this issue, seeing that the ancestor of the Zhou family is so active, it is difficult to calculate the exact time.

After the three families reached an alliance, the ancestor of the Zhou family no longer went out, but he did not retreat to cultivate himself either. Instead, he frequently appeared in the clan, instructing the three Jindan cultivators and some foundation-building younger generations who were expected to break through the Jindan stage.

Not to mention, the ancestor of the Zhou family is indeed a Yuanying cultivator who has been in the Yuanying stage for many years. Under his personal guidance, the Zhou family had two more Jindan cultivators in just one year!
This progress in recovery has caused the surrounding forces to envy.

Knowing how to practice is one thing, but being able to teach others to practice is another.

But they are not very clear about the inside story.

This day.

A guest arrived in the depths of the Egret Swamp, which was filled with miasma, poisonous insects, snakes and ants.

He was wearing a plain white shirt with some coral branches painted on it, with wrinkles all over his face but a ruddy complexion. He was none other than Zhou Yunshen, the ancestor of the Zhou family.

As he gradually went deeper into the Bailuze, the surrounding miasma dispersed as if it had a spirit, making way for him, as if to welcome him.

Zhou Yunshen looked at this scene with a slightly complicated expression.

The person who lives deep in Bailuze, the strength he displays casually is so magical and powerful.

This naturally generated miasma has the special effect of polluting spiritual energy, and the monks dare not get even a little bit of it. He has the ability to deal with it, but he is old and can't spare the energy to deal with it.

But in that person's hands, these miasma turned into extremely docile pets, which could be driven freely at will.

Suddenly.

A clanging sound like metal came from inside.

"Old friend, you are here."

When the miasma dissipated, Zhou Yunshen exhaled and stepped into a water curtain cave.

Looking at the man sitting cross-legged like a sharp sword, he said with a complex feeling of gratitude and awe: "Thanks to your elixir and the book of experience in breaking through the Jindan stage, the Zhou family gained two new Jindan masters a few months ago."

The man in black closed his eyes and said calmly, "They were able to survive the collapse of Zhongzhou. Their current state is just a blessing after surviving a great disaster."

Zhou Yunshen shook his head, "I still have to thank you after all."

"If it's just to thank me, why did you make this trip today?" The black-clothed man held a blood-red sword across his knees, with strands of three-colored nine-sky energy lingering on it. As he inhaled and exhaled his magic power, the sky energy gradually sank into the sword. "Tell me, have I made any progress on my matter?"

Zhou Yunshen seemed to have made up his mind and said in a serious tone, "Found it!"

Luo Chen concentrated his fingertips, pressed them on the sword, and opened his eyes in a flash.

Zhou Yunshen shook his head and said slowly: "In the past year, when the Zhou family released all resource restrictions, a total of 37 women became pregnant. And with the help of the top-grade water lotus seeds you gave us, we tested that nine fetuses have a good affinity for water spirit energy. In other words, these nine children may have water spirit roots."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "Is the probability so high?"

Zhou Yunshen smiled bitterly and said, "I asked all the cultivators in the clan who were not capable of breaking through the Jindan stage to put aside all worldly affairs and work hard. In the process, I also used the special spirit gathering formation you provided, which led to such a result."

Among thousands of children born to ordinary people, it is difficult for only one to have spiritual roots.

But if both husband and wife are cultivators, after their bodies have undergone marrow cleansing and bone strengthening and have been immersed in spiritual energy for decades, it will be easy for them to conceive a child with spiritual roots.

This is also the reason why there are so many families in Zhongzhou and why there are so many people with spiritual roots and talents.

And if during the process of pregnancy, one is affected by Luo Chen's specially improved formation, then it is very likely that the baby will be pregnant with water spiritual roots.

However, before the fetus is born, or even before it grows to eleven or twelve years old, it is actually very difficult to detect the spiritual roots. But this is not difficult for Luo Chen, he has water lotus seeds from the fourth-level top-grade five-element lotus, and with the corresponding spells, he can vaguely sense whether the fetus's spiritual roots exist and their general attributes.

It can be said that Luo Chen had been taking great pains to plan to seize the soul from the very beginning.

In Zhou Yunshen's opinion, everything should be about right at this point. He didn't understand why Luo Chen specifically reminded him to notify him at this time.

Whoosh!
The blood sword flew up, circled, and finally disappeared into Luo Chen's right arm.

The man in black stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Take me to see those nine children!"

Zhou Yunshen was confused and didn't understand what Luo Chen's purpose was, but since he had accepted Luo Chen's benefits and future promises, he naturally would not object to such a small matter.

The two of them walked one after the other out of the depths of the Bailuze swamp and headed towards the Zhou family's settlement.

……

"Not nine, but ten."

In a quiet room, a gentle young woman was sleeping soundly.

The young man and the weathered old man stood in front of the bed, looking at the last pregnant woman and talking in low voices.

Zhou Yunshen subconsciously avoided Luo Chen's eyes that were shining with golden light, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that Jing Shu is pregnant with twins?"

Luo Chen nodded slightly, "Not only are they twins, but they are also boy and girl twins."

Zhou Yunshen stroked his beard and said, "I didn't notice that. But based on the test of Shui Lianzi, Jingshu and his children's affinity for water spirit energy can only be said to be above average, not as good as Xiaoqi's family."

However, Luo Chen shook his head and showed a strange smile.

"No, it's him!"

Zhou Yunshen was puzzled.

Luo Chen's mouth curled up slightly, "The fetuses in my belly are one boy and one girl, one yin and one yang, which complement each other perfectly. I have a technique that can be used with a decoction to complement one child's strengths and weaknesses, and transfer the innate energy of one child to the other. By then, the child who gets the supplement will be ahead of everyone else when he is born, and will have an unimaginable foundation."

"Is there such a secret technique in the world?" Zhou Yunshen was extremely surprised.

Luo Chen hummed and said, "This technique is called Fengsheng Technique, and the medicine required is not complicated."

Zhou Yunshen was amazed, "Such a secret technique is unheard of, worthy of being the Dan Sect!"

Luo Chen smiled. This technique was not created by him, but came from the records in the seventy-two volumes of the alchemy book by the Demon Lord Liantian.

It's a method used by the demons!
The reproductive capacity of the demon race is far inferior to that of humans. When multiple babies are born in one litter, the offspring will often be clearly differentiated in strength.

The demon race pursues an elite policy, so the weak offspring are mostly left to their own devices after they are born, and do not receive much training.

In view of this, some people simply adhere to the principle of not wasting, and gather the innate energy and even the root bone attributes of the weaker ones into one person while the twins are still in the mother's womb.

In this way, it is very likely that a peerless genius will be born.

Zhou Yunshen asked curiously, "What about the child whose innate energy was absorbed?"

Luo Chen said indifferently: "It will be difficult to practice cultivation for the rest of your life if you become a useless person or a mediocre person."

The old man was stunned and subconsciously grabbed his gray beard.

Luo Chen's move is not only to take advantage of one of the Zhou family's children, but also to sacrifice the future of another child!

"Why, are you soft-hearted?" Luo Chen turned around and looked at the old man.

Zhou Yunshen opened his mouth, his eyes full of heartache. In recent days, he gave up his own practice and focused on teaching and training his offspring. In the repeated contacts, the previously vague blood ties gradually became stronger.

Even though Lin Jingshu was a woman sent by the Qingtong Lin family for an alliance, the baby in her belly was still of the Zhou family's bloodline!

Luo Chen's increasingly indifferent voice came to my ears.

"My old friend, I gave you elixirs and cultivation tips, which cost me a lot of money to help you live longer. You should have known what you were paying for."

"But……"

"Forget it. I won't let her support my clone in vain. I will give her another way out. Although that way will be very difficult, it is still a way out."

Zhou Yunshen raised his head in surprise.

Luo Chen didn't promise anything, but since he said it, he was willing to believe it.

"Next, my old friend, please step out of the house for a while!"

Zhou Yunshen nodded, pursed his lips and walked out of the room, leaving Luo Chen alone, silently staring at the gentle young woman.

He lifted the young woman's clothes, revealing her round white belly.

He slowly raised his right hand, bit his fingertips, and squeezed out a drop of blood.

The essence and blood dripped onto the round belly and gradually seeped into it.

Luo Chen put his fingers together like swords, drawing in the air, outlining mysterious and intricate patterns.

The patterns gradually seeped into the woman's belly.

After doing all this, Luo Chen opened his mouth and spit out the Hunyuan Ding.

Looking at the Hunyuan Ding, Luo Chen hesitated a little, but finally calmed down.

To cultivate a Nascent Soul True Person from scratch within a hundred years is not as simple as just accumulating resources.

A breath of vigorous innate energy is not enough.

One water-type spiritual root is still not enough.

Even with the help of top-quality water lotus seeds, it was still too slow.

Only the innate spiritual body!

As for creating an innate spiritual body, the previous Luo Chen could not do it, but the current Luo Chen is somewhat confident about it.

The key lies in what's inside the tripod.

"Come out!"

Amid the murmurs, a pool of flowing spring slowly flowed out from the gray small tripod.

Mingshui spring!

It contains the essence of water and is a natural creation. As long as it is broken up and integrated into the fetus, a body with innate water spirit can be created in the process of continuous nourishment.

As for whether the fetus can bear it?

This is not very difficult as Luo Chen has already refined the Mingshui Spring and mastered the true meaning of the law of the origin of water.

Luo Chen pointed his finger, and the floating spring of azure water shattered in an instant.

A light rain was falling in the quiet house.

Outside the house, there was no wind or cloud in the sky, no thunder or lightning, but suddenly it started to rain heavily.

The entire Bailuze was shrouded in a vast curtain of pearly rain.

Zhou Yunshen stared at the scene blankly, and in a trance, his Nascent Soul seemed to be restless.

I don’t know how much time had passed before I heard the sound of a wooden door closing and a faint sound of fatigue.

"After the child is born, remember to give him the water lotus seed."

Zhou Yunshen suddenly woke up, with a feeling of loss on his face, as if he had just missed something.

Under the rain falling from the eaves, he looked at the man's tired face, wondering what he had done.

He just couldn't help but remind him: "You agreed to give the other child a way out."

"I won't forget to leave my things in the Egret Swamp before I leave."

After Luo Chen left these words, he stepped into the rain, and several flashing figures disappeared completely.

And half a year later.

There was a loud cry coming from this room.

On that day, heavy rain fell again over the vast Bailuze.

The heavy rain came without any reason and went away without a trace, as if the clouds and rain suddenly disappeared after the baby's crying stopped.

Zhou Bohan and Lin Jingshu, who were first-time parents, did not notice this unusual phenomenon at all. They were only immersed in the joy of having a son and a daughter.

But after the joy and excitement, doubts and regrets arose.

"My brother is so strong, but my sister is so thin. She looks like a feather in my arms."

"Husband, it's normal for a girl to be thin. Can't you let your brother protect her well in the future?"

"Haha, yes, you must protect your sister well in the future!"

Amidst laughter and joy, the Zhou family had another pair of children.

Three days later, the Zhou family ancestor, feeling the hard work of the clan members over the past two years, gave generous rewards. He also gave Zhou Bohan's family a water lotus seed.

He also personally named the twins, a boy and a girl.

The girl's name is Zhou Qingyu.

The boy's name is Zhou Feifei.

……

"Master, are you leaving?"

"It's time to go. We've been here for too long."

"Then where are we going?"

"Before leaving, let's travel around the Tiannan Continent!"

Inside the Bailuze swamp, the voices of a man and a woman talking to each other were heard.

Luo Chen looked at the scenery inside the Water Curtain Cave and took out various items from his storage ring one after another.

Pills, minerals, cultivation experience, and some tips on using magic.

That's all, nothing else.

Xiao Bai roughly guessed who Luo Chen left these things for, and couldn't help but be curious: "Is it that simple?"

Luo Chen shook his head. "That's enough. If I interfere too much, people will notice my presence. I believe that the soul that was split from my Nirvana Primordial Spirit will not live an ordinary life even without my memory and will."

"But what about the girl's?"

"It's in there too, don't worry."

Luo Chen sighed, stood up, and Xiaobai followed behind him, leaving the Water Curtain Cave step by step.
