Longevity begins with alchemy master

Wow!

The turbid waves parted, and the white-robed Taoist descended from the sky, standing in the black water.

His hands glowed with light as he bent down and reached for the strange object that shone brightly in the huge pit after the Heavenly Peak was removed.

However, this attempt to scoop it up was like trying to catch the moon's reflection in water—it ended in vain.

"phantom?"

Luo Chen was surprised.

Given the strength of his divine sense, those who could deceive his illusions were extremely rare in this world.

Luo Chen vaguely guessed what was going on, and a look of extreme interest appeared on his face.

Without a second thought, two completely different forces, magical power and source power, poured into his eyes, and when he opened them, his crimson eyes and golden pupils reappeared!

What can be concealed from the divine sense may not be able to be concealed from his eyes.

These are spiritual eyes that can pierce through illusions, deceptions, and even the void itself; no demon or monster can hide before them.

as predicted!

After Luo Chen opened his crimson eyes and golden pupils, he finally noticed the location of the light spot.

It was something that resembled a pearl.

Silently buried beneath the peaks of heaven and earth.

The divine sense swept over it, giving the impression of a small world.

Layers of white mist shrouded it, and black water seeped out from time to time.

In an instant, a name popped into my head.

"Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven!"

No wonder this thing was able to deceive his divine sense.

The Mirage Dragon itself was a top-tier Great Wilderness, capable of transforming into the sun, moon, and stars, forming its own blessed land. After its death, its body was transformed into the Mirage Dragon Cave by the Tianyuan Dao Sect, but it still retained its illusory characteristics. Because of this characteristic, it became the most suitable secret realm for the disciples of the Tianyuan Dao Sect to train.

However, it seems that the rumors may be wrong now.

"It's not a corpse, but its inner core!"

Luo Chen took a deep breath, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Monsters also have inner cores, but these are mostly limited to low-level ones.

Once they reach the fourth stage of the Transformation Realm, they will shatter their core and form an infant like human cultivators, embarking on the path of demon cultivation.

However, wild beasts remain true to their original form and rarely take on human form.

Therefore, their inner core is the true essence of their entire being.

Luo Chen never expected that the so-called Mirage Dragon Cave was actually just the inner core of the Mirage Dragon.

"The creation of heaven and earth is truly too wondrous. To us, it is merely the inner core of a wild beast, but to the creature within, what difference is there between it and a planetary world?"

"According to the memories of the split soul back then, the Gu family, one of the twelve great families, used the difference in the flow of time in the cave to cultivate ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs inside."

"If I were to take control of this grotto-heaven, could I follow suit?"

Luo Chen had never considered using the difference in time flow in the Mirage Dragon Cave for cultivation, as this method was far too dangerous.

The Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven itself is not suitable for cultivators, as its spiritual veins are scattered and its spiritual caves are not fully formed. The reason why Ke Lianshan and the Dao Sect disciples were able to cultivate there last time was because the Rotten Chessboard absorbed spiritual energy and suppressed the cave heaven's spiritual veins.

Now that the Rotten Chessboard has been destroyed, the spiritual veins of the cave will inevitably be disrupted once again.

However, while an unformed spiritual vein is not suitable for cultivation, it does not have a significant impact on the growth of herbs and medicinal plants.

As long as the overall environment remains the same, the medicinal properties will gradually accumulate over time.

Moreover, he has reached a bottleneck in his body cultivation, and it is difficult to break through by relying solely on body cultivation techniques. Only the Demon-Demon Heart Tree may be able to help him.

This Mirage Dragon Cave might allow the Demon-Demon Union Tree to bear a fruit.

Of course, according to the research results left by Sang Jinghe before his death, cultivating the Demon Heart Tree also requires the essential condition of the heart essence of ancient demons or high-level Great Wilderness beings.

But for Luo Chen, it's not a difficult task, as long as he's willing!
"Let's take this treasure first!"

Without further hesitation, Luo Chen reached out once more and scooped up the pearl in the water.

This scooping action seemed to have scooped up an entire world.

As the large clumps of clouds dissipated, the dark, deep sea flowed gently, and finally, Luo Chen struggled to raise his hand.

The view is breathtaking.

A precious gem in one's palm, a mirage of a dragon's lair!
Luo Chen probed into it with his divine sense, and a vast scene came into view, but the area of ​​the cave seemed to be many times smaller than he remembered.

"Is it because of the impact of the last war?"

When Luo Chen came to his senses, his expression was somewhat uncertain.

"Not only has the area shrunk, but the flow of time also seems to have slowed down considerably... Could it be that this secret realm is dying out?"

The demise of secret realms may sound terrifying, but it is the most common occurrence in the world of cultivation.

Most of these secret realms are either left behind by predecessors or are formed by certain special spaces.

However, if the foundations of the secret realm, such as formations, treasures, or even spiritual veins and space, gradually collapse and decay, the entire secret realm will become unstable and will eventually either perish or merge with reality and become part of this world.

Of course, in that case, the special nature of the secret realm would also disappear.

"There should still be time. If I can extract the water that permeates the entire cave and supplement it with a restrictive formation, I might be able to slow down the process."

"This secret realm is still of great use to me at the moment!"

Luo Chen exhaled a breath of stale air and tucked the Mirage Dragon's inner core into his robes.

This object is a world unto itself, and therefore cannot be placed in a storage ring or the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Otherwise, since spaces are mutually exclusive, one side will eventually be burst or squeezed and collapsed.

After putting away the Mirage Dragon's inner core, Luo Chen looked around and pondered silently.

Because of this unexpected gain, his ascension plan has been temporarily changed, and there may not be enough time.

"We have to make a trip to the wilderness!"

……

Eastern Wilderness, the Blessed Land of the Saint of Elixir.

In the middle of a large black lake.

As the waves rolled, a colossal figure gradually emerged.

It silently looked towards the lakeside, where a woman with a voluptuous figure and a swan-like long neck was quietly waiting.

Upon seeing the giant tortoise emerge, the woman spoke.

"Xuanming, our master has ordered us to hurry to Cangwu Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, the giant tortoise Xuanming spat out a jet of water from its nostrils, nodded silently, and slowly crawled out of the Ming Lake with its four legs as thick as pillars of heaven.

Tianxuan smiled slightly, "You wait at the entrance of the blessed land while I inform the other two."

Tianxuan flew non-stop towards a canyon deep within the blessed land.

A short while later, after she came out, Black King followed her out, shaking his head and swaying.

"Tianxuan, what important matter is Master planning this time that requires us all to come together?"

"Just follow the master's orders; why ask any more questions?"

"Tch, you little wench, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. If you come all this way for nothing, I'll give you a good beating."

"With your ridiculously slow escape speed, let's see if you can catch up with me first!"

The two continued their banter as usual, but their footwork was surprisingly fast.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the blessed land, in addition to the giant tortoise Xuanming, the demonic monk Kongchan was already waiting.

There was another person, who surprised Tianxuan somewhat.

"Madam, what are you doing here?"

Dressed in a magnificent palace gown, Gu Caiyi calmly retorted, "Am I not allowed to come?"

Tianxuan quickly waved her hand, "That's not what I meant. It's just that this trip is dangerous, and the place we're going to is quite sensitive, so my master only called the four of us."

Gu Caiyi glanced around at the four people: the Black King Xuanming Wild Beast and the Kongchan Tianxuan Demon Beast. Clearly, the place they were going to was not suitable for human cultivators.

Moreover, the fact that even Tianxuan, who is at the Nascent Soul stage, said it was dangerous shows that this trip was by no means easy.

Gu Caiyi sighed, "I want to see him."

Tianxuan opened her mouth, and finally nodded.

"Then let's go together!"

As for what happens next, let the master worry about it; why should you concern yourself with it?

Four demons and one person, all from a blessed land.

After crossing the Netherworld Abyss, we arrived at the Luo Tian Sect's mountain gate, and then took the teleportation array.

When it reappeared, it had arrived at a place where birds sang and flowers bloomed.

Gu Caiyi emerged from the underground teleportation hall and gazed at the verdant Cangwu Mountain, where hundreds of birds circled overhead, her eyes filled with intense curiosity.

"Is this the place where my husband transformed into a god, the legendary sacred land of the Feather Clan, Mount Cangwu?"

"Exactly!"

Tianxuan nodded, her eyes filled with reverence.

News about Luo Chen's transformation into a god has gradually spread in recent years.

Whether it was the wolf clan of the Million Mountains suffering heavy losses, or Luo Chen's appearances in the North Sea and the Southern Frontier, both had a significant impact on the changing landscape of the major powers in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

As the sect founded by Luo Chen, Luo Tian Sect may have been a little behind in terms of information, but it was by no means lacking.

In particular, there were eyewitnesses such as Tianxuan and Kongchan.

In the distance, an ethereal voice rang out.

"Is this your teacher's wife?"

Gu Caiyi turned around and saw a woman with beautiful features and an elegant demeanor walking towards her with a smile.

"Who is this?" Gu Caiyi asked curiously.

Tianxuan quickly explained, "The current Palace Master of the Day Sky Palace, Fairy Huamei, is also the master's disciple."

Gu Caiyi raised an eyebrow. "A disciple? Like Xu Muxian?"

Hua Mei smiled slightly, "Master's wife is joking. Hua Mei is just Master's nominal disciple."

Xu Muxian was once just a nominal disciple.

Gu Caiyi thought to herself.

Looking around, one could vaguely see magnificent palaces atop two distant mountains.

The highest of these is Tongxuan Hall, which was once the residence of Qixia Yuanjun.

Opposite to the Day Sky Palace should be the Crossing Truth Palace, which is the place under the jurisdiction of my husband, Luo Chen.

Following her gaze, Fairy Huamei explained softly, "Master has now stepped down from the position of Master of the Crossing Truth Hall and passed it on to He Qingzi. The Day Sky Hall has been handed over to me. As for Master, he is temporarily residing in the Tongxuan Hall."

Gu Caiyi was slightly bewildered, not expecting that Luo Chen had already arranged things for Cangwu Mountain.

She felt only relief.

Fortunately, she came along this time. Otherwise, given my husband's style, after arranging everything properly, he would probably start working on his ascension after returning to the Luo Tian Sect.

Then the time I can spend with him will be very, very short.

"Everyone, please follow me. Master has been waiting for you in the Tongxuan Hall for a long time."

Without hesitation, everyone followed Fairy Huamei and flew towards the Tongxuan Palace.

At the gate, a burly man stood guard, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, seemingly bored.

Upon seeing the crowd, he simply nodded casually and let them pass.

Gu Caiyi glanced at it and her heart skipped a beat.

A powerful demon emperor in the late Nascent Soul stage!

Her husband's status in the demon race was even higher than she had imagined; he was actually a Great Demon Emperor guarding the gate.

Inside the palace.

He Qingzi was reporting to Luo Chen about the current situation of the demon race in the Million Mountains.

"On the Tiger Clan's side, Jinxiu Xian is supporting Emperor Tian's daughter in an attempt to rebuild the Demon Court. However, due to Emperor Tu's influence, the various tribes are unable to cause any major trouble."

"The wolf clan, however, fell apart after Ao Kuang's death and is now fighting amongst themselves."

"The Feather Clan now holds the highest position in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. With the re-establishment of the Three Palace Masters by you, the power structure is crystal clear, and there is no dissent within the Feather Clan. Although Lei Yu is unwilling to assume the position of Palace Master of the Profound Hall, the title of Grand Commander of the Feather Clan that you have bestowed upon him is more than enough for him to suppress the villains."

Today, the three temples of Cangwu Mountain have been rebuilt.

Crane Qingzi is in charge of the Crossing Truth Hall, Flower Eyebrow Fairy is in charge of the Daytime Sky Hall, and the position of Hall Master of the Profound Mystery Hall remains vacant.

No one dares to take the place that Qixia Yuanjun once held.

Luo Chen originally intended to marry the Thunder Prison Divine Roc, but the other party dared not offend him, so he gave him another title—the Great Commander of the Feather Clan.

In this way, the power structure of Cangwu Mountain, the sacred land of the Feather Clan, was no longer chaotic, but became crystal clear.

It can be said that Luo Chen has handled all his post-ascension affairs in an orderly manner within his capabilities.

In addition, he also recorded Xu Muxian's name in the Duzhen Hall.

They can freely enter and exit Cangwu Mountain, and are not subject to the jurisdiction of Duzhen Hall.

The purpose of this arrangement is, of course, only one: to make it convenient for Xu Muxian to return to Beihai from time to time to take care of the Feiyan Islands.

He Qingzi, who was giving a report, suddenly fell silent because Luo Chen above him was looking out of the hall.

Several figures walked in one after another.

He Qingzi looked around and saw familiar faces as well as strangers.

The stranger, however, drew her attention the most.

As Luo Chen beckoned, the other person naturally walked up and sat down next to Luo Chen.

"Why are you here?"

"I've heard that my husband is about to embark on a journey to the wilderness. I've been cultivating diligently in this blessed land for a long time, and I also wish to go out and see the world. Will I be a burden to my husband?"

"Haha, aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to? But since you're here, there's no reason for you to go back. Don't worry, with my abilities, I'm more than capable of protecting you."

Gu Caiyi was delighted. She knew that Luo Chen wouldn't mind if she acted coquettishly occasionally.

Especially now that Luo Chen has the ability to take care of everything!
After exchanging a few words, Luo Chen turned his attention to the Xuan Turtle, which had shrunk in size and entered the hall with him.

"Xuanming, I have a task for you."

Xuanming stepped forward.

Before its eyes appeared an inner core that looked like a pearl.

"Go inside and use your innate talent to purify the waters within and create a clean space."

Xuanming, without any prior knowledge, entered the inner core of the Mirage Dragon under Luo Chen's spell.

The Mirage Cave is now incomplete, and it is not difficult to open it.

In particular, Luo Chen also possessed the "Refining Heavenly Secrets" alchemy technique, which could intercept spiritual energy. Being in the Cangwu Mountains, he naturally had plenty of spiritual energy to open the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

Then came Tianxuan.

"Did you bring the Demon-Demon Union Tree?"

Tianxuan replied, "I brought it; it's currently planted inside the Octagonal Pavilion in Penglai."

"very good!"

Luo Chen slowly stood up, his eyes filled with confidence.

"Let's set off then, our destination—the Wilderness!"

He Qingzi and the Flower Eyebrow Fairy bowed respectfully, "May you have a safe journey, Master!"
