Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 1136 The Body of Moonstone, the City of Lost Immortals

The idea of ​​the furnace between heaven and earth was not a sudden whim of Luo Chen.

It is a hypothetical concept proposed by Wang Yuan after he reached a high level in the book "Shen Gang Dou Qi".

Looking back on his past, Wang Yuan discovered that he still had shortcomings in each of his previous major realms, so he made various perfect assumptions for each realm.

For example, the Furnace Realm of the third stage of Body Refinement!
In his quest for a longer lifespan, Wang Yuan explored and broke through to a new level without any precedent to follow.

Afterwards, however, it was discovered that his furnace-making process had many shortcomings.

Therefore, Wang Yuan devised an even more perfect method for breakthrough, awaiting a talented descendant disciple.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen is now testing his ideas.

This perfect breakthrough method requires three extreme conditions!

That is the willpower to endure all pain, the incomparably strong Vajra physique, plus a massive amount of vital energy.

With immense willpower, one suppresses the elixir energy transformed from a massive amount of blood and qi, then gathers the elixir into a powerful aura, which explodes in an instant, forming a "Heaven and Earth Furnace." This process requires a Vajra physique to withstand that instantaneous burst of power.

Luo Chen does indeed meet these three conditions.

In fact, his physique was even stronger than that of the Great Vajra, making him a genuine fifth-order wild beast.

It is sufficient to withstand the instantaneous burst of all the body's Qi and blood.

"This can also be considered a form of training for the internal strength of the physical body!"

During his leisure time, Luo Chen thought to himself.

His ancient body-refining method used to be based on external physical training.

Now, the orthodox body-refining method has been changed to the internal path of qi and blood.

One internal and one external, perfectly making up for the current lack of magical power and divine sense.

……

Having experienced the last bandit attack, the caravan became more cautious and traveled at an even faster pace.

The number of times that Manager Yan came to see Luo Chen had obviously decreased.

Luo Chen was happy with this arrangement and focused all his attention on his cultivation.

Although cultivation may seem like a very boring thing to outsiders, it is a very interesting thing to Luo Chen.

After all, he was not good at things before, but now he could do them with ease and had a bright future. How could he not be full of fighting spirit?

As for Jing Lan, she became increasingly taciturn as she traveled further and further away from the small mountain village, and occasionally she would reveal some inexplicable emotions.

This day.

Luo Chen estimated that they were almost at their destination, so he temporarily suspended his cultivation.

After hesitating for many days, Jing Lan finally approached Luo Chen.

"You want to practice?"

Looking at the woman with a determined gaze and a longing expression, Luo Chen asked her this question.

Jing Lan nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with longing. "I can endure hardship, and I want to cultivate. I don't want to be a burden. Brother Luo, you're no ordinary person; you should be able to guide me!"

However, Luo Chen decisively refused this request.

"You're getting old."

This caught Jing Lan off guard.

Before making this request, she had asked Steward Yan privately.

Although starting at an older age makes cultivation more difficult and may be more challenging, it is not impossible.

Given Luo Chen's willingness to take her away from the small mountain village, how could he refuse for such a reason?
However, Luo Chen did indeed use this reason to reject her.

This left Jing Lan completely stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

Luo Chen didn't explain much. He was a grateful person; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Jing Lan out and planned to give her a lifetime of wealth and honor.

Can it be cultivated?
Jinglan is definitely not good enough.

With Luo Chen's knowledge and the long time he had spent with Jing Lan, he had already discovered that Jing Lan's body was different from that of ordinary people.

Simply put, Jing Lan possesses the "Moonstone Body".

This type of physique has naturally solidified meridians and blocked acupoints. For body cultivation methods that highly value meridians and acupoints, the Moonstone Body is the least suitable.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Jinglan was abandoned when she was young.

If Jing Lan is still young, before her meridians and acupoints are completely solidified and blocked, with the help of appropriate cultivation methods and Luo Chen's alchemy skills, she might be able to embark on the path of body refinement.

But now, she really is "old".

Moreover, it would be difficult for Luo Chen to reproduce his peak alchemy skills in a short period of time.

Therefore, Luo Chen refused very decisively, even without showing any mercy.

Looking at the heartbroken woman, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that the other party wasn't born in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but in this Great Destruction Realm where there is no spiritual energy."

The Moonstone Body is useless for body refining, but it is an extremely rare and excellent physique for the Qi refining system.

The flow of spiritual energy through divine sense is unimpeded. Solidified meridians and acupoints can also be slowly nourished and strengthened by the power of moonlight. One can even absorb the essence of the moon, like plant spirits, and master special magical abilities.

Inside the carriage, a silent stillness fell over the room, broken only by the rumble of the carriage and the neighing of the horses outside.

Until Yan, the steward, spoke with a slightly agitated voice from outside.

"Senior Luo, we've arrived!"

As if waking from a dream, Jing Lan got up and went outside, lifting the curtain as she did so.

Then she looked into the distance and was stunned at first glance.

It was as if a giant beast had rushed into her eyes.

A city wall, entirely white, stretches for dozens of miles without beginning or end, resembling a giant python biting its own tail.

The wall, hundreds of feet high, was so tall that even looking up, one could hardly see its top.

Banners fluttered on the wall, and figures moved about.

At the city gate, pedestrians thronged and carriages and horses flowed in droves, creating a lively and bustling scene.

The afterglow of the setting sun poured down, casting its light on the snow-white city walls, creating a dreamlike scene.

Compared to this, Qingshan Town is far too insignificant.

This was a huge shock to the women who had always lived in the mountain village.

If one can live a good life in such a prosperous city, then it seems that this life has not been lived in vain.
A soft praise came from behind.

"Not bad at all."

Luo Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, showing no surprise, only a hint of appreciation.

This surprised Master Yan, who had come to inform them in advance.

The magnificent city of Yixian ranks among the top three of the seventy-two cities. Anyone who sees it for the first time will be captivated, even the most powerful experts in the Furnace Realm!
But this senior Luo only gave a perfunctory "not bad" evaluation.

Judging from this reaction, either the other party is used to it and unfazed, or they have extremely strong mental fortitude and can remain calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain.

Or perhaps, both are true.

After all, Steward Yan had already guessed that the other party was a powerful cultivator from the outside world. In the legends, those immortal cities were even more unique and magnificent, making Yixian City seem rather ordinary in comparison.

At this moment, Luo Chen had only one thought in his mind.

"In this territory, what kind of enemy are these towering city walls used to defend against?"

The caravan stopped temporarily to reorganize its people, horses, and goods in preparation for entering the city.

In the distance, fast horses galloped from the city.

Upon approaching, the armored knight immediately dismounted.

Steward Yan took the initiative to greet him, "General Chu!"

The armored knight, referred to as General Chu, glanced around and then his gaze fell on the black-robed man in the carriage.

"Are you Luo Chen?"

Luo Chen glanced at Steward Yan, then nodded slightly.

The man in black robes bowed with both hands, "Young City Lord has prepared a banquet, please!"
