Longevity begins with alchemy master

[My elder sister was originally a True Lord of the Mysterious Realm. Due to some reason, she descended to the mountains and seas. On the verge of death, she used the Nirvana Secret Technique to be reborn and cultivate again.]

Over the course of a thousand years, since her rebirth, Sister Qixia has cultivated step by step to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but due to the suppression of this realm, she has been unable to break through to the Void Refinement stage. Not only that, but there is always a force of the realm binding her, making it not only impossible for her to break through, but even ascension is extremely difficult. She even has a premonition that if she does not leave soon, she will be completely trapped and die in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

According to my sister's observations, the Mountain and Sea Realm is a newly established small world, rich in spiritual energy and countless spiritual opportunities, which greatly aids living beings in comprehending the true meaning of the laws. The five sects of the Xuan Realm discovered this world and used powerful means to forcibly descend and establish it, seizing resources and cultivating outstanding successors.

She took to emulate this, and over a thousand years, she nurtured me and Qinghe, helping her ascend to immortality.

Your foundation is far more profound than mine, so breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage should be just around the corner. However, you must be careful. After several great wars in ancient times and even now, the Heavenly Dao consciousness of this realm has gradually become aware of the danger posed by Nascent Soul cultivators. The more frequently you manipulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth, the easier it is to become deeply entrenched in this realm and indistinguishable from the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, after achieving the Nascent Soul stage, one must ascend swiftly to avoid hindering one's path to immortality!

【Green Frost】

Qing Shuang remained as taciturn as ever.

On the feather, only a few hundred words of information were left, briefly explaining the origin of Qixia Yuanjun and introducing the Mountain and Sea Realm.

But after reading the letter and combining it with his previous guesses, the fog in Luo Chen's mind finally dissipated.

This Qixia is indeed that Qixia!

The so-called reason for their arrival was that they were fighting with the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven and unfortunately ended up in this small world.

Nurturing Qinghexian and Qingshuang also helped her escape her predicament and leave.

The introduction to the Mountain and Sea Realm surprised Luo Chen somewhat.

The spiritual potential in this world is countless!

Is it possible that spiritual energy is scarce in other worlds, such as the famous Xuan Realm?

Without comparison, Luo Chen had no way of knowing.

However, based on the information Luo Chen knew, the number of Nascent Soul stage experts in the Mountain and Sea Realm was indeed quite large.

Once I reach the Nascent Soul stage, should I ascend immediately, or should I follow the example of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the five great holy lands and linger here for a long time?

Moreover, is ascension based on tradition, flying to the Immortal Realm, or is it like Qixia Qingshuang and the others, sneaking into the Mysterious Realm?

Lord Youli once gifted them a book called "Secret Records of the Mystic Realm," which contained some information about the Mystic Realm.

Local customs and traditions are one aspect, but descriptions of top-tier experts also occupy a portion.

As mentioned above, the Xuan Realm is a true Great Thousand World, where the most powerful cultivators can reach the Mahayana stage. Once they ascend, they become true immortals and are hailed as True Immortals!
Conversely, cultivators in ordinary small worlds can only cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage at most.

Although one could ascend to the Immortal Realm by relying on the power of the world's origin, upon arrival, one would still only be a Nascent Soul cultivator. At this point, one is far from being an immortal; one is merely a being at the very bottom of the hierarchy.

This principle is easy to understand.

The top student from a small town, once they get into a top university, will be lucky if they can even maintain their position at the bottom, let alone become the best.

But there are exceptions.

True geniuses are geniuses everywhere!
"Could I be that one-in-a-million cultivation prodigy?"

Luo Chen asked himself a question.

He then answered confidently.

"Yes!"

With a body possessing five spiritual roots, it takes a hundred years to form a core and two hundred years to reach the nascent soul stage. Now, with less than five hundred years remaining, it is only one step away from becoming a deity.

If he isn't a genius, then who is?

In particular, he had already comprehended the true meaning of three different types of laws at the Nascent Soul stage, and he would only shine even brighter if he went to the Immortal Realm.

On the contrary, if he were to go to the Xuan Realm, which lacks spiritual energy, it might affect his subsequent cultivation.

Most importantly, Luo Chen did not have a method to smuggle himself into the Xuan Realm.

Therefore, after some thought, Luo Chen made up his mind.

Once he reaches the Divine Realm, he will choose the most natural ascension, still guided by the mysterious power of Heaven to the Immortal Realm.

However, there's no rush right now.

His injuries have not fully healed, so the matter of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage can be postponed for the time being.

Moreover, he was quite interested in the other two things that Qing Shuang had left inside the feather.

One is a teleportation array, the super teleportation array that covers the underground of Cangwu Mountain!

Qing Shuang left behind a corresponding array diagram, which was extremely complex and contained countless spatial restrictions.

If Luo Chen can master this array diagram and combine it with the corresponding materials, he may be able to replicate a similar large-scale teleportation array.

The other is a supernatural power.

[The universe in one’s sleeves]

How did she know I was so envious of this supernatural ability?

Luo Chen was quite pleasantly surprised as he flipped through the cultivation method in the "Sleeve Universe".

However, after some research, Luo Chen was quite helpless.

This supernatural ability can only be cultivated after one comprehends the laws of space.

Despite his frustration, Luo Chen did not lose heart. He believed that with his original supernatural abilities, even if he could only borrow them, he could create his own [Sleeve Universe] that suited him.

Stroking the feathers, Luo Chen sat on the soft couch, looking out at the empty hall.

This is the perspective of the former Lady Qixia, and also the foundation of her legacy.

Now, they're all mine.

"But in the end, it's not the foundation I built myself!"

Luo Chen sighed softly, stood up, and left the Tongxuan Hall.

After the main gate slammed shut, two people were already waiting outside the hall.

Or perhaps it's a human and a demon.

Yue Sanren and He Qingzi.

"Hall Master!"

Luo Chen nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them, ignoring He Qingzi's eager look, his eyes lingering on Yue Sanren.

Faced with this scrutiny, Yue Sanren was extremely nervous, and even his body trembled.

A dignified late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, who had even survived the slave path inheritance of the Heavenly Demon Lord, yet his performance was so pathetic.

It's unknown how much of a shadow the former Qixia Yuanjun cast on her.

But there was a reason for her behavior at this time.

She has a grudge against Luo Chen!

And it's big!

Luo Chen's friend Duan Li in Beihai died at her hands.

Luo Chen's businesses in Penghu, along with the Zhang family, which were her vassal states, were also destroyed by her.

There was also the incident where he pursued Luo Chen for thousands of miles back then, almost driving him into the Yellow Springs Sea.

Now that Qixia is gone, and Luo Chen's strength has long surpassed hers, if Luo Chen wants to do something violent, no one can stop him!
The terror of having one's life and death in the hands of others is something no one could portray better than Yue Sanren.

half an hour.

Amidst Yue Sanren's tense state, a voice as beautiful as heavenly music reached her ears.

"Yuenü, you guard the Tongxuan Palace and do not let outsiders disturb us."

"Yes!"

"He Qingzi, I'd like to trouble you to take care of things at the Zhoukong Palace."

"Palace Master, aren't we going to select a new Palace Master for the Day Sky Palace?"

"Not for now. Yuanjun is gone, Qingshuang is no longer here, and who in the world can take over the positions of the two palace masters? Let them remain vacant! Now, He Qingzi, take me to the Cangwu Treasury to take stock of the materials in the treasury. I have a great use for them."

He Qingzi nodded and followed Luo Chen toward the Cangwu Treasure Vault.

Behind them, Yue Sanren breathed a sigh of relief, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

really!

With Yuanjun just departed, Luo Chen couldn't make a move yet, but his gamble paid off.

……

The treasure trove of Cangwu.

Luo Chen used to be a regular here.

During the three years he was imprisoned in Cangwu Mountain, he often came here to select medicinal herbs and refine the Transformation Pill.

Therefore, I am quite familiar with this place.

At this moment, with He Qingzi personally leading the way, many more previously unnoticed good materials came into Luo Chen's view.

Thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood, Nine-Leaf Glowing Grass, Supreme Five Elements Lotus Platform...

It must be said that Lady Qixia was exceptionally generous, leaving behind all these good things when she left. Whether she didn't value them or not, they've all benefited Luo Chen now. He held a bone that still retained a powerful aura in his hand.

The bones were charred black and still retained a scorching heat, likely remnants of a powerful fire.

On the straight bone, there are holes, like a long flute.

"The bone of a fifth-tier wild beast?"

He Qingzi, who was on the other side, heard Luo Chen talking to himself and looked up to explain: "Those bones should be the bones of the Whistling Beast. When it roars, it sounds like the sound of a flute, which is mesmerizing. It was left by a fifth-order wild beast that Yuanjun personally killed in the wilderness many years ago."

The wilderness is a place distinct from the five continents of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

They are remnants of ancient times, utter losers in the ancient war, driven to the desolate lands to eke out a living.

Although it is a barren land, its wilderness area is quite large, no less than any continent in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Countless years have passed, and it is unknown how many top-tier wild beasts still remain within.

Luo Chen's heart stirred slightly, and he asked, "Do you have a map?"

"It seems there is such a painting, which Yuanjun casually drew in her early years, but I don't know where it is. I'll look for it for you later, Your Highness!"

"Yes, you continue searching for what I'm looking for."

Soon.

He Qingzi exclaimed in surprise and picked up a small stone from among a pile of boxes.

"Lord of the Palace, we have found what you were looking for, and a lot of it!"

It was something as clear as crystal.

Its name is Konglingqiao!
It is a very precious space material with excellent ductility.

Whether it's creating a magical storage device or a large teleportation array, this item is essential.

Luo Chen strode over, his gaze falling on the box, a look of joy spreading across his face.

really!

As he expected, since Cangwu Mountain was able to set up such a large-scale teleportation array, it must have a large number of empty prisms.

Surprisingly, there are still so many left.

That's enough to set up several large teleportation arrays in the Eastern Wilderness.

He Qingzi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Luo Chen, and suddenly asked curiously, "Palace Master, that Yue Nu must have some grudge against you, right?"

While inspecting the quality of the hollow aperture, Luo Chen gave a noncommittal reply.

He Qingzi became even more curious, "If that's the case, why doesn't the Palace Master punish the other party?"

"It's not the right time yet," Luo Chen said calmly.

He Qingzi pondered, "Could it be because the Primordial Sovereign has only recently ascended to heaven, so the Palace Master cannot take action against the people she left behind?"

"That's part of the reason!" Luo Chen agreed with this statement.

He Qingzi smiled slightly, realizing that she had indeed guessed correctly, but she was also puzzled. Apart from this factor, were there any other reasons?
Luo Chen waved his hand and made a series of moves, storing the entire box of empty prisms into his storage ring.

He turned around and looked elsewhere, but his gaze was not focused and seemed somewhat unfocused.

"Tell me, how many demon cultivators on Mount Cangwu truly submit to me now?"

He Qingzi was taken aback. She instinctively wanted to say everything, but when she recalled the previous situation, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

She forced herself to say, "You are the Lord of the Crossing Truth Palace, and you have the right to command all demons. How dare they disobey?"

Luo Chen shook his head. "This power originated from Qixia Yuanjun. Now that Yuanjun has departed, the title of Duzhen Palace Master alone is not enough to convince the people! Moreover, the vast Baiwanshan region is not just limited to Cangwu Mountain!"

"Palace Master, do you mean... to lure the snake out of its hole?" He Qingzi vaguely guessed Luo Chen's plan.

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, "That woman is never one to stay put. We'll have to settle things with her sooner or later anyway, so let's use her to get rid of some of these thorns in our side!"

He Qingzi suddenly realized and revealed a bright smile.

"The master of the palace is wise!"

As she spoke, she secretly leaned closer to Luo Chen, her alluring body almost pressed against him.

However, an invisible force gently pushed her away.

He Qingzi's face stiffened.

"If you work for me, I will not treat you unfairly. Next, take inventory of all the remaining medicinal herbs in the treasury; I have other uses for them."

He Qingzi breathed a sigh of relief, and her stiff expression instantly returned to normal.

Since Luo Chen had no intention of pursuing her, she didn't need to force him, lest she offend him.

Inventorying the Cangwu Treasure Vault was a considerable undertaking, as it represented a thousand years of accumulation from Cangwu Mountain. It took Luo Chen three full days to even get a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Some unimportant things were left behind on Cangwu Mountain.

But he took a liking to all those rare treasures, filling ten storage magic treasures and more than twenty other storage bags.

With these substantial gains, Luo Chen temporarily left Cangwu Mountain.

After he left, under the instigation of certain individuals, undermining the undercurrents in Cangwu Mountain.

Luo Chen didn't care.

This is all to be expected, and it would be the same anywhere.

Even though those demon cultivators had faced Luo Chen's might directly and had heard of his feat of defeating a powerful being, Luo Chen was ultimately just a human.

Moreover, when Liancheng fell, the outside world believed that Qing Shuang had also intervened, which diminished the deterrent effect of this feat of defeating a powerful figure.

Add to that the coveted Cangwu Mountain...

Let them make a fuss for a while!

Faced with absolute power, the so-called turbulent undercurrents are nothing more than a trickle of water, which can be extinguished with a flick of the wrist.

……

Go to Youcheng.

This is the current temporary location of the Luotian Sect's mountain gate.

The crowds were immense, the lights were faint, and the place was incredibly prosperous, a sign of the flourishing of the great sects.

It just lacked the air of a hermit's serene cultivation.

Luo Chen's return did not attract much attention.

For the cultivators of Luo Tian Sect, the frequent appearances of the Supreme Elder were something from two hundred years ago. Now they are used to the Supreme Elder's reclusive lifestyle, where he either doesn't make a move or the world is in an uproar!
The Luotian Grand Hall stands majestically.

The young Luo Lingxi stood guard outside the hall, her face revealing a hint of excitement.

Inside the hall, Li Yingzhang was listening to Luo Chen's words.

He had no objection to building a teleportation array in Shangyou City that would connect directly to Cangwu Mountain; he would leave everything to the Supreme Elder.

But after Luo Chen finished giving his instructions, he took the initiative to bring something up.

"You want to step down as sect leader?"

Luo Chen was somewhat surprised, not expecting this turn of events.

Li Yingzhang said frankly and generously, "Yes, I took the position of sect leader two hundred years ago, back in Baili Qingchuan, and now it is time for me to take the position again."

Luo Chen said regretfully, "You have done a great job. In recent years, Luo Tian Sect has produced several Nascent Soul cultivators, and the number of Golden Core cultivators has increased to more than thirty. While my pills certainly played a part, they cannot overshadow your management skills."

Li Yingzhang smiled and said, "Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. That is all within my duty. However, I also have my own selfish desires; I also wish to be one of those few Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Luo Chen suddenly realized that he had forgotten about this.

If you think about it carefully, Li Yingzhang is already quite old, and he doesn't have many years left before the five-hundred-year limit for Golden Core cultivators.

His cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Golden Core stage long ago, and it was time for him to prepare to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before his time was up.

"Are you confident?" Luo Chen asked with concern.

Li Yingzhang said nonchalantly, "If I, the sect leader of Luo Tian Sect, don't have confidence, then who would dare to have confidence?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, realizing he had been overthinking things.

Whether it's pills and formations, cultivation techniques, or even spiritual vein secrets, Nascent Soul formation experience, etc., Li Yingzhang's preparations are now even more thorough than Luo Chen's back then!

“It’s a pity about Min Longyu.” Li Yingzhang suddenly sighed, his face slightly gloomy. “If he hadn’t suffered a serious injury in his early years, which damaged his foundation, he probably would have succeeded in forming his Nascent Soul before me. In the end, he failed to break through and died.”

Min Longyu's demise occurred during the twenty years that Luo Chen was recuperating.

He was already older than Luo Chen and the others, so his time was coming sooner.

Spurred by the heroic feat of the Nascent Soul cultivators of Luo Tian Sect following Luo Chen in attacking Tian Yuan Dao Sect, he attempted to forcefully break through to the Nascent Soul stage before his lifespan ended, despite being at the late Golden Core stage.

The final result was regrettable.

The atmosphere inside the hall was somewhat somber.

Luo Chen sighed, "Don't overthink it, don't let it affect you. But before you step down, have you decided on a successor?" (End of Chapter)
