Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 1135 Peak of Dan Jin
Perhaps because they relied on the prestige of the city lord's mansion, this caravan had no experience of being attacked for many years, and was still somewhat at a loss after the battle.

Fortunately, there were some capable people in the caravan. After calming down, under the command of Manager Yan, they managed to clean up the mess and continue their journey.

After giving all the instructions, Steward Yan couldn't wait to head to Luo Chen's carriage.

When the curtain was lifted, a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but weren't were met.

Manager Yan felt a chill run down his spine. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the man lying on the floor. The man's face was deathly pale with terror, and he was panting heavily, as if he had been subjected to some kind of torture.

Manager Yan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, senior. Otherwise, if the goods had been robbed today, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow. "I heard you say that your master is kind and gentle. Even if the goods are stolen, you should not suffer any punishment that could endanger your lives, right?"

Manager Yan gave a wry smile. "Our lives are a small matter, but this batch of goods, especially the Mi Xian cigarettes inside, is to be delivered to other cities in fixed quantities every year. If our share is missing, the impact will be enormous. At that time, the young city lord will inevitably take his anger out on our families..."

Luo Chen listened to the other party's explanation and finally nodded.

"Take them away!"

Manager Yan looked at the trembling man, who no longer possessed the imposing and valiant air of the eight-foot-tall giant he had displayed earlier. He cautiously asked, "Senior, don't you want to know more?"

Luo Chen said with a half-smile, "He has already said everything I wanted to know."

Manager Yan was stunned.

In the time it took to clean up the mess, Luo Chen had already interrogated everyone he wanted to know.

Was this strong man weak-willed, or was Luo Chen's method too clever?
With a sense of apprehension, Steward Yan lifted the eight-foot-tall strong man out of the carriage. On the man's exposed skin, one could vaguely see streaks of blood, like earthworms, crawling under his skin. He couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss, what a ruthless tactic!"

……

"The Meteor Bandits, led by Tong Huaijin, hail from Xilong City. He was originally a general under the city lord of Xilong City. Seven years ago, he came to Yixian City and founded the Meteor Bandits, a band of horse bandits. He has five peak-level experts under his command, and his bandits number in the hundreds. That eight-foot-tall strongman is one of the five peak-level experts, and his background is with the Red Armor Army of Mofeng City. This operation is a simultaneous attack at the end of the year, targeting five merchant caravans belonging to the city lord's mansions..."

The information he had just received from the eight-foot-tall strong man flowed through Luo Chen's mind.

Gradually, the young man's lips curled into a smile.

This band of horsemen, who are entrenched around the City of Lost Immortals, are no ordinary people!

The bandit leader was actually a master of the Furnace Realm, with a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people and extraordinary strength. He would be a heavyweight figure anywhere, yet he willingly became an outlaw.

Moreover, many of the experts under his command belong to different factions.

The target of this operation was too unified; it was timed perfectly to target the young city lord, Xiao Feng.

All of these factors combined make the conspiracy all too obvious.

With Luo Chen's knowledge and the information he obtained from Steward Yan, he was able to quickly piece together the information and get a general idea of ​​the situation.

The lord of Yixian City has two sons and three daughters. Ten years ago, the lord left Yixian City, and his two sons began to compete for the position of lord.

The eldest brother, Xiao Feng, was powerful and, with the help of the City Lord's Mansion's staff, had long held the de facto position of Young City Lord.

The second brother, Xiao Yun, was not content with being alone, so he sought external help and built his own team. Not only that, but external forces also seemed to covet the City of Lost Immortals, and due to certain superficial rules, they secretly provided Xiao Yun with a great deal of assistance.

Like this Meteor Thief, it's a knife that's very suitable for getting things done.

For example, this time, they plundered Xiao Feng's caravan at a crucial moment. If Xiao Feng cannot produce the goods when it comes time to trade, his reputation will be damaged, and he may even lose his position as the young city lord.

In this way, Xiao Yun, the second brother, had an excuse to launch an attack and plot to seize the real position of city lord.

"Tsk tsk, brothers fighting each other so fiercely."

Luo Chen smacked his lips, but clearly didn't care.

Jing Lan, standing to the side, looked somewhat frightened, clearly startled by Luo Chen's casual interrogation of the enemy earlier. After all, the silent, agonizing struggle of that eight-foot-tall man was truly terrifying. Hearing Luo Chen's inexplicable sigh, she finally couldn't help but speak.

"Brother Luo, what exactly happened?"

Luo Chen said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you, don't worry."

After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes.

Jing Lan opened her mouth, but dared not ask any more questions; a sense of powerlessness spread throughout her body.

Luo Chen didn't care about Jing Lan's thoughts and immersed himself in his own world.

He continued to transform the source blood into surging qi and blood power, then twisted it into streams of pure energy, and finally condensed these energy into tiny, egg-sized entities.

This is precisely the Dan Jin (energy) at the peak of the Blood River Realm!
Contrary to what Steward Yan had expected, Luo Chen's body refinement realm had not broken through to the third realm, the Furnace Realm; he remained at the Blood River Realm.

But his Blood River Realm is completely different from that of ordinary body cultivators!

Ordinary body cultivators, after experiencing the "physical foundation building" of the Blood River Realm and understanding the four types of force derived from the changes in qi and blood, should try to "embrace the elixir to form a powerful force and transform the body into a furnace".

This step requires gathering the body's vital energy and blood, generating boundless strength, and integrating will and strength into one to form an unstoppable and powerful aura!

That is energy at the same level as the magical power of a Golden Core cultivator.

Luo Chen's foundation is truly terrifying.

Even though the incident with Qixia Yuanjun caused him to burn his only drop of fifth-order true spirit blood, there was still a large amount of ordinary source blood in his body.

Each drop of this source blood contains a massive amount of vital energy, which Luo Chen has accumulated over hundreds of years of cultivation by digesting a vast amount of resources.

Since Luo Chen intends to combine the orthodox body-refining method with the cultivation of the orthodox method, he needs to transform these ordinary source bloodstains one by one.

Perhaps this method is rather cumbersome, and breaking through to a higher level will be relatively slow.

If successful, Luo Chen will become the most powerful third-stage body refiner in history!

How much blood and qi would be generated from the source blood of a fifth-order wild beast? And how terrifying would the force and qi condensed from it be?
Of course, some people may feel sorry for the source blood that has been accumulated bit by bit, and even feel that it is not worth it, since the source power converted from the source blood is not weak.

However, whether something is strong or weak also depends on the environment.

Within this Great Cataclysm Realm, devoid of spiritual energy, Luo Chen could barely maintain his fifth-order Ancient Body. However, the Ancient Body Refining Method originating from the Mountain and Sea Realm was no longer viable. Furthermore, the use of Origin Blood and Origin Power was too crude and wasteful; in fact, it had previously only been an auxiliary product within Luo Chen's Qi Refining Cultivation System.

If he wants to leave this world in the future, he must find another path and climb to new heights!

As things stand, orthodox body-refining methods are the mainstream cultivation system in this Great Cataclysm Realm, so Luo Chen resolutely decided to switch to this method.

He also believed that with his knowledge and experience, unparalleled foundation, and the proficiency panel that he could use normally, it was not a foolish thing to quickly cultivate to the "Human Immortal Realm" that could break through the void.

now.

As Luo Chen continued his transformation, his originally fair and jade-like face instantly turned crimson, and wisps of heat rose from the top of his head.

The pure source blood is transformed into a massive amount of qi and blood, then into strength, and finally condenses into seeds of dan qi.

Such an operation is astonishing.

The so-called four major forces are simply different changes in Qi and blood.

Dan Jin is an instantaneous combination of energy, which must be released in the next moment.

But Luo Chen's inner strength, which he was holding back at this moment, was more than just a wisp.
If a wisp of internal energy is a bomb that ignites a fuse, then Luo Chen has planted countless bombs inside his body at this moment.

Once one reaches the stage of Core Formation and Qi Condensation, the breakthrough to the Furnace Realm will no longer be an ordinary physical furnace, but a furnace of heaven and earth comparable to a world!
