Longevity begins with alchemy master

The Azure Sky Forbidden Domain, which stretched across the heart of the Eastern Wilderness cultivation world, suddenly vanished today.

The omnipresent, biting autumn wind seemed to have never existed; the wispy clouds dispersed, revealing a clear, bright sky.

The gentle sunlight shone on the earth, and plants and trees visibly began to grow, full of vitality—a truly magnificent scene of all things flourishing.

This is the true Azure Sky Domain!

All these changes stemmed from the black-clad Taoist standing before Jin Hu.

Bo Hanjun was stunned when he heard Luo Chen come from behind the Dao family gate.

"You are the senior of the Pill Sect?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "You know me?"

Bo Hanjun nodded, but then shook his head violently.

"Your name is renowned, senior. Although I have never met you, how could Lord Bo Han not know you?"

Today, Luo Chen's name has spread throughout the world, and it can be said that "who in the world does not know him?"

Luo Chen chuckled and nodded, then patted the golden tiger in front of him. Di Tu's body suddenly shrank to about ten feet in size, and Luo Chen straddled it.

The golden tiger spewed out fierce qi, carrying Luo Chen into the sky.

As they got closer, Luo Chen took a special look at the white eyebrows on the other person's face.

Bo Hanjun had never met him, but he had seen this person before.

Just a few years ago, when I passed by Yan Hua Ancient Island, the Nascent Soul cultivator who was secretly cultivating in seclusion on the island was this person.

"Rogue cultivator?"

Bo Hanjun nodded, his gaze lingering on Jin Hu.

Is it this great demon emperor who caused the Azure Sky Forbidden Zone to remain for over a hundred years?

If such a powerful being would willingly become the mount of the Pill Sect, then just how powerful must the Pill Sect be?
Has he already become a deity?
Luo Chen sighed, "It is truly not easy for a rogue cultivator to achieve the Nascent Soul stage. Fellow Daoist's determination to cultivate is indeed unwavering."

Bo Hanjun's face also showed a look of emotion. What Luo Chen said was exactly what he was thinking.

He started from humble beginnings and gradually built a solid foundation through the trials and tribulations of the two-hundred-year war between humans and demons.

Furthermore, because the power of the Eastern Wilderness sects declined after the great war, some fourth-order spiritual veins that no one paid attention to emerged, which gave him the conditions to form his Nascent Soul.

Otherwise, no matter how talented he is, without strong external resources to support him, he would probably find it difficult to achieve the Nascent Soul stage.

"senior……"

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need for that. My sect has not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, and we are at the same level as you. Just addressing me as ‘fellow Daoist’ is sufficient.”

Bo Hanjun was stunned. He couldn't see through Luo Chen's realm. Considering that even a powerful demon emperor like Jin Hu was willing to serve under him, he thought that Luo Chen had already reached the Divine Transformation stage.

did not expect……

The white-browed man's throat bobbed; this made him seem even more terrifying!
Bo Hanjun exhaled a breath of turbid air and suddenly bowed deeply to Luo Chen in front of him.

"Master Luo's great kindness will never be forgotten by Bo Hanjun!"

"Oh?"

Luo Chen was surprised, but then seemed to remember something and looked the other person up and down for a moment.

"When you formed your Nascent Soul, did you consume the Nascent Soul Pill from our sect?"

Bo Hanjun nodded. "Yes, when True Master Taiyue held the super auction, the grand finale was True Master Luo's ten Nascent Soul Pills. I was lucky enough to win one, and later I was even more fortunate to achieve the Nascent Soul realm."

"To be able to bid for a Nascent Soul Pill with the body of a rogue cultivator at the Golden Core stage is already quite a feat. How can you say it was just luck?" Luo Chen chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "You paid real money for the pill, so there's no question of any favor."

That's what they say, but if anyone or any organization that obtained Luo Chen's pills actually thought that way, they would be a fool.

Pills like the Nascent Soul Pill, which are extremely rare and can greatly increase the chances of achieving Nascent Soul formation, are often priceless and unavailable.

Even if someone wants to buy it, it depends on whether someone is willing to put it up for sale.

Without the Nascent Soul Pill, major sects often have to rely on their own sect's secret techniques to forcibly form a Nascent Soul.

When Luo Chen took out ten Nascent Soul Pills in one go, it was undoubtedly a tremendous blessing for the Eastern Wilderness cultivation world, whose strength had been weakened after the war.

Especially for rogue cultivators like Bo Hanjun, there are no spiritual places to cultivate in, nor are there any auxiliary pills to aid their cultivation.

However, since Luo Chen had said so, he could only keep this kindness in his heart.

Are you going to Lingtian Pass?

"Yes, my purpose in coming here is to attend the Shouyang Daoist Conference hosted by Master Luo. However, I do not have an invitation, which is a bit awkward."

"Haha, then come with me!"

Luo Chen laughed loudly, sat on the back of the golden tiger, and headed towards Lingtian Pass.

He chatted with Bo Hanjun the whole way.

As a rogue cultivator, the other party was quite confused about the cultivation of the Nascent Soul realm after forming the Nascent Soul. Luo Chen, having nothing else to do, casually offered a few pointers.

Incidentally, Luo Chen also inquired about the whereabouts of that batch of Nascent Soul Pills.

Of the ten Nascent Soul Pills, seven fell into the hands of the Nascent Soul Sect under Deng Taiyue's control, while the other three were distributed among those below.

A Grandmaster of the Golden Core Sect, a Golden Core Family, and Bo Hanjun, a wealthy rogue cultivator.

Of the three who obtained the Nascent Soul Pill, apart from the cultivator from the Golden Core family who failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and died, Bo Hanjun and the other person both succeeded.

As for who the other person was and what sect they belonged to, Luo Chen had already roughly guessed.

Qingdan Valley, Tao Wan!

The seven Nascent Soul Pills, which were obtained by the Nine Spirits Sect, Heavenly Capital Sect, Fenghua Palace, White Crane Gate, Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, East Sun Sect, and White Deer Cave, were obtained by the seven Nascent Soul sects.

Relying on this Nascent Soul Pill, five Nascent Soul cultivators emerged, while the other two families failed.

The two that failed were Wanjian Pavilion and Dongyang Sect.

Upon hearing the news, Luo Chen was also quite moved.

Condensing a nascent soul has always had an extremely high failure rate; it's considered good if only a handful out of a hundred or so people succeed.

Even though this group consisted of the most outstanding talents carefully selected by various sects, and their cultivation had been honed to perfection through the war between humans and demons, two of them still failed despite the aid of the Nascent Soul Pill.

The difficulty of spiritual practice is evident.

While traveling with Luo Chen, Bo Hanjun not only asked Luo Chen for advice on cultivation, but also showed him his spirit pet.

It was a six-winged frost centipede containing the bloodline of a wild beast.

The potential should have been extremely high; Bo Hanjun had cultivated the extreme cold path to his current level by nurturing this spirit insect since childhood. However, the Six-Winged Frost Centipede itself was stuck at the fourth rank.

With Luo Chen's knowledge and experience, he naturally resolved the matter for him with ease.

Actually, it's quite simple. Many demon races in the Eastern Wilderness have similar situations to varying degrees. They possess a thin bloodline of the Great Wilderness, but they get stuck at the fourth level.

The solution is to choose the path of spiritual practice.

The choice is to refine the Great Wilderness bloodline and follow the path of demonic cultivation, or to purify the bloodline and continue cultivating towards the Great Wilderness.

The ring-headed turtle clan that Luo Chen encountered on Xuan Yan Island in the North Sea was just like that.

When those ring-headed turtles advance to the fourth rank, they either choose to cultivate towards human form or purify their bloodline and revert to their ancestral form as the desolate beast Xuan Turtle or the desolate beast Cliff Serpent.

It's hard to say which of the two options is better.

Luo Chen gave Bo Hanjun a brief analysis: the Transformation Path could accelerate the cultivation speed of his spirit pets, but he needed to be prepared to find suitable cultivation techniques for them. The Wild Beast Path, while slower, offered a higher cultivation ceiling in this realm, and advancing to the fifth rank would be relatively easier.

Luo Chen couldn't help with the latter.

In the former case, Luo Chen casually gave him a Transformation Pill. Bo Hanjun was extremely grateful and couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the legendary reputation of the Pill Sect for benevolence and charity was truly well-deserved.

He had already spent all his wealth trying to buy the Nascent Soul Pill, and this Transformation Pill was obviously extremely valuable, far beyond his current means. Unexpectedly, the Pill Sect generously gave it to him.

Luo Chen, however, took it all in stride.

"Our sect also spent a long time as a rogue cultivator, and we know how difficult it is to be a rogue cultivator. Since we've encountered you, it's no big deal to lend a hand. However, if you want to advance further, our sect suggests that you either create your own sect or join a Nascent Soul sect. Otherwise, just collecting cultivation resources will consume most of your cultivation time, which is really not worth it."

Bo Hanjun deeply agreed, but for the time being he had no intention of creating or joining a sect. He simply felt a strong connection to what Luo Chen had said about the hardships faced by independent cultivators.

"Reaching the Nascent Soul realm is already incredibly difficult, I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to even touch the Deity Transformation realm in my lifetime?"

At this point, Bo Hanjun hesitated.

"Master Luo, there is something I am unsure whether I should ask."

"Normally, it's best not to ask about these kinds of things. But I'm in a good mood today, so ask me whatever you want!"

"I've heard that you'll be discussing the opportunity for Nascent Soul at your upcoming Daoist conference in Shouyang. May I hear a bit about it?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow. "Fellow Daoist, you certainly have lofty ambitions. You've only just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and you're already thinking about the Deity Transformation realm."

Bo Hanjun felt somewhat ashamed. "To be honest, I am ashamed to say that I first received the kindness of Master Luo in helping me form the Nascent Soul Pill, and then I received your guidance and instruction along the way, as well as the gift of the Transformation Pill. I shouldn't ask for anything more, but only after truly entering the Nascent Soul stage did I realize how vast the world is and how far the Great Dao is. The Divine Transformation Realm is something we all dream of!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, gave the other person a deep look, and then smiled nonchalantly.

"There is no need to feel ashamed. If you truly wish, our sect will grant your request."

Upon hearing this, Bo Hanjun was both surprised and delighted.

What pleased me was that Luo Chen was more generous than I had imagined, but what surprised me was that such a good thing would come so easily.

He wanted to ask if there were any conditions involved, but there was no time left.

Because we've arrived at Lingtian Pass!

The tiger paused, and the Taoist priest gazed into the distance.

The once majestic Lingtian Pass remains as it was before.

But it lacks the chilling killing intent forged in blood and fire, and has gained a touch of worldly prosperity and liveliness.

The original Lingtian Pass still exists, with the collapsible city wall serving as a dividing line, extending outwards and dotted with countless newly built buildings of all sizes.

This magnificent city of mountains and seas, unprecedented in history, has expanded to an extent that even with Luo Chen's crimson eyes and golden pupils, it seems to stretch endlessly before him.

Suddenly!
Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Inside the city, several streaks of light shot into the sky, flying towards his direction.

There were nine people in total, making for an incredibly large and impressive group.

Wherever it went, the whole city watched with awe.

Those are the nine Nascent Soul cultivators!

Just as they were about to arrive, the nine people stopped in unison and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Supreme Elder!"

They shouted in unison, their voices carrying for miles.

The entire Lingtian Pass was shaken!
One divine sense after another looked in this direction, but when they got close, they dared not linger for even a moment, for fear of angering the Taoist in black.

They only knew one thing: Luo Tian Tai Shang, Dan Zong Luo Chen, had arrived!
Luo Chen ignored the divine senses and focused his gaze solely on the nine people in front of him.

The leaders were Gu Caiyi and Canglong.

Following them are Wang Yuan, Ling Fengzi, Hao Ranzi, Yu Jiaolong, and Tian Xuan.

Hidden at the very back were Black King and Little White.

"come out!"

Black King and Little White flew ahead, looking aggrieved.

"Master, we haven't notified the sect!"

This was Luo Chen's instruction to Black King Xiaobai when he left Cangwu Mountain: not to let the Luo Tian Sect cultivators get involved.

However, the seven people in front of them were all from the Luo Tian Sect, and it could even be said that they had brought out all of their top combat power.

If the entire army is wiped out, then the four hundred years of work done by Luo Tian Sect can be considered destroyed in an instant.

Canglong said gently, "Senior brother, why be so harsh on them? The news of Black King and Little White spreading the Dao discussion has spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness over the years. Who doesn't know it? Although my Luo Tian Sect is hidden in the Netherworld Abyss, we also have Shangyou Immortal City as our base outside, so naturally we know about this news."

Behind her, Haoranzi and Yujiaolong nodded at the same time.

When Luo Chen brought these two back to Luo Tian Sect, Hao Ranzi was left outside the Netherworld Abyss.

Later, Luo Chen left, but Sect Master Li Yingzhang did not recall Hao Ranzi. Instead, he sent some people to leave the Netherworld Abyss and join Hao Ranzi's side, establishing an external outpost for the Luo Tian Sect in Shangyou Immortal City.

It served both to gather information and to facilitate the recruitment of young disciples of the right age.

Black King and Little White didn't try to hide their actions, so the people in Shangyouxian City naturally got the news.

“But you’ve all come out, this…” Luo Chen shook his head, still feeling it was unwise.

Gu Caiyi stepped forward, looked at Luo Chen, and said stubbornly, "My husband is about to undertake a great undertaking, how can we sit idly by and watch?"

Luo Chen pursed his lips, looking at Gu Caiyi, whose demeanor and bearing were completely different from before, and then his gaze fell on the people behind her.

Ling Fengzi looked helpless, but he didn't force the issue.

Haoranzi smiled and gestured, Yu Jiaolong was eager to try, and Tianxuan lagged behind but her expression was firm.

Wang Yuan nodded to Luo Chen and said in a deep voice, "We can't always be under your protection and live a carefree life. Just like the old story of the Yan Alliance, we'll only live and die together!"

Luo Chen was stunned.

In the end, all I could do was sigh.

"That's it!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, dismounted from the tiger's back, and walked into the crowd.

The crowd parted to make way for Luo Chen as he headed toward Lingtian Pass.

Gu Caiyi walked alongside him, a genuine smile blooming on her face. Finally, this time, she could follow Luo Chen.

Canglong lagged slightly behind, her expression gentle yet resolute. This life was given to her by Luo Chen, and their relationship had progressed further. How could she not go through fire and water for him?

Behind the crowd, Black King landed next to Golden Tiger, seemingly about to make a sarcastic remark.

However, with a roll, Jin Hu revealed Di Tu Angzang's body. He merely glanced coldly at Hei Wang, forcing Hei Wang to swallow back his mocking words.

Black King, on the contrary, muttered to himself, "What kind of incredible luck did this guy have? How did he become so powerful?"

Bo Hanjun wisely refrained from following, instead simply watching the group from afar.

They were a group of powerful Nascent Soul cultivators, whose cultivation levels were even higher than his. Yet, at this moment, they were all wholeheartedly following Luo Chen, as if they would brave any danger, even a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire.

Bo Hanjun's eyes revealed a look of admiration.

"Is this the Pill Sect?"

The cultivators of Luo Tian Sect made no attempt to conceal themselves, openly passing through Ling Tian Pass and disappearing all the way to Shouyang Mountain.

Wherever he went, pairs of eyes followed, and divine senses were awe-inspiring.

The Dan Sect, which had disappeared for many years, has reappeared before the world!
Shortly after the Luo Tian Sect cultivators welcomed Luo Chen back, news spread from Shouyang Mountain.

[The Shouyang Dao Discussion Conference will be held in three days. All Nascent Soul cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness are welcome to attend!] (End of Chapter)
