Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 675: Hundred Crows Forest, to Mutianyuan

By the river.

The Taoist has a precious tripod hanging on his head and sits cross-legged on a lotus platform.

There was a hint of hesitation on his face.

His sight fell on the pure white surface in the middle of the lotus pedestal. Five fist-sized lotus seeds were embedded in it, emitting pure five-element spiritual energy.

It is natural for the lotus pedestal to produce lotus seeds.

The lotus seeds condensed from this five-element lotus platform, which is only one step away from the fifth level, are of high quality.

If used as medicine, it can be the main ingredient for fourth-level elixirs.

If the one-time magic weapon made with the same technique is used, its lethality may not be any less than the Thunder Immortal Pearl that flowed out of the Baiye Cave in Jilei Mountain.

Luo Chen didn't have any corresponding method to use it.

After all, to refine the infant-forming elixir, all that is needed is the lotus platform itself.

At this moment, Luo Chen tentatively placed his hand on a red bead, which was the fire lotus seed.

According to Han Zhan, the Five Elements Lotus Platform is a treasure that can be used to assist in cultivation by Yuanying True Talents. It can use its ability to absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and automatically filter out impurities to accelerate cultivation.

Even in the Eastern Wilds, this thing is rarely circulated and is controlled by the Mingyuan Sect.

Occasionally, a small amount will circulate.

It is said that the reason why Shen Yuan Zhenren of the Five Elements Divine Sect was able to practice the five elements at the same time and reach the late Nascent Soul stage was because he had the help of a Five Elements Lotus Platform.

It is very likely that the lotus platform obtained by Zhenren Shenyuan is not as good as the one in front of Luo Chen.

The topic has gone too far.

Back to topic.

Although this item is only for Nascent Soul cultivators, it is not absolutely useless in the hands of Golden Core cultivators!

If the golden elixir is used instead of the lotus seed, and the technique of confusing the mind is used, the spirit of the lotus platform will regard the cultivator's golden elixir as the lotus seed that he has nurtured himself.

In this way, it can also play a role in assisting spiritual practice.

Moreover, in this process, Luo Chen can also "tame" the spirit of the lotus platform so that it no longer resists and struggles, and thus easily lead it away from the scorching purgatory.

"Let's give it a try!"

Luo Chen exerted a little force on his hands and forcibly dug out the fire lotus seed amid the angry struggle of the Five Elements Lotus Platform.

Then he opened his mouth and spit out a white pill.

It is not the natal golden elixir, but the second elixir with exhausted mana!
Although he believed in Han Zhan, Luo Chen still didn't dare to use his own golden elixir to experiment. What if something went wrong?

After all, Han Zhan himself had never practiced with the help of the Five Elements Lotus Platform, and the little tips given to him were also hearsay when communicating with fellow practitioners.

The second Yuandan will be fine.

If it really doesn't work, Luo Chen still has the spare strength to pull it out.

The Yuandan enters the lotus platform, just like the lotus seeds.

When Luo Chen practiced the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth rolled in from all directions, from the magma river under his feet, and from the blazing purgatory filled with rich fire spiritual energy.

Under normal circumstances, Luo Chen would have to carefully capture and refine such violent spiritual energy.

But at this moment, he omitted this step.

The next moment, the surging spiritual energy was directly injected into the Five Elements Lotus Platform.

After receiving this spiritual energy, the Five Elements Lotus Platform, which had been struggling, became slightly quieter.

It was as if someone was "feeding" it.

Luo Chen held his breath and concentrated, feeling the changes attentively.

After a moment, he let out a breath of relief.

"It really works. Han Zhancheng didn't lie to me!"

As he perceived, the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into the entire lotus platform. Impurities began to be filtered out, and the essence flowed through the meridians on the lotus platform and flowed to the five lotus seeds respectively.

And because this is the Burning Inferno, most of the spiritual energy is of fire attribute, so streams of fire spiritual energy rushed towards the original location of the fire lotus seed.

With this blessing, the Second Yuan Dan was like a starving beast, accepting everything and swallowing it madly with its big mouth open.

After completing one big cycle, when you look at the second Yuandan, you will find that the spiritual energy contained in it is already one hundredth or one twelfth of the original.

Good progress!

When Luo Chen was resting, Han Zhan reminded him: "Remember to use your spiritual consciousness to refine the spiritual energy in this batch of Yuandan and completely transform it into your own magic power. After all, you are only in the Jindan stage, and you don't have a Yuanying to grasp the power of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Strictly speaking, the spiritual energy you absorbed has not yet left your mark."

"Ah."

Luo Chen nodded slightly.

Afterwards, after a brief breath adjustment, Luo Chen began to practice his skills again.

……

After a war, there must be rest.

Luo Chen practiced beside the magma river full of spiritual energy, and so did the Lord of Moyun Cave. He found a quiet place to retreat and heal his wounds.

Tai Sui is surprising.

He was originally in poor condition, but after a battle with the giant squid, not only did his body shape recover from a skinny bamboo pole to an inflatable fat man, his mental state also improved a lot.

Instead of practicing in seclusion, he wandered around in the Burning Inferno.

None of the three of them was urged to set off.

Time just passes slowly like this.

During this process, Luo Chen released Tian Xuan and asked her to try to collect some fire-attributed resources nearby.

Pick up those safe places to explore.

If it is dangerous, try not to provoke it.

When another day of training ended, Luo Chen felt a little tired.

This kind of practice of practicing one's innate skills day and night is usually only performed during deep retreat, and it puts a great deal of pressure on the cultivator's soul.

Even he had to stop and rest from time to time.

He took out a fasting pill from the storage ring and swallowed it. As his body felt slightly full, his attention was focused on the river of magma flowing beneath his feet.

There was a red fish swimming nearby.

Wow!
As Luo Chen looked at it, the red fish jumped out of the river lively, splashing layers of red waves.

It’s the fourth-level fire spirit.

Perhaps it was because Luo Chen saved the silver-white fire python, this red fish, which is also a fire spirit, has become much more friendly towards him. Recently, it has swam to his side from time to time, absorbing some of the pure fire spirit energy leaked from the Five Elements Lotus Platform.

Looking at the red fish, Luo Chen had an idea.

A wisp of green flame appeared at the fingertips.

He has been refining the True Fire of Withering and Flourishing for decades, even close to a hundred years.

It has absorbed a large amount of vitality from monsters and beasts, and can be said to have a profound foundation.

This time when it came to the Burning Inferno, it devoured seven low-level sourceless fires and a fourth-level sky-burning fire. Logically, its power should be even greater.

However, he swallowed it in a hurry and did not have a chance to fully control its power, resulting in his lackluster performance in the battle with the Mermaid Emperor Liujun.

"It shouldn't be like this."

Muttering something, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

He began to reflect on the battle with Jiaohuang Liujun.

When the opponent was injured and had no home-court advantage, he was still at a disadvantage in a head-on battle and even had to do the same thing as a gecko cutting off its tail.

He couldn't accept such a result.

Why?

……

half a month later.

Luo Chen still sat by the river.

In the lava river beneath his feet, a green fire tree was stretching out its branches, allowing the red fish fire spirit to roll up streams of lava and pour them on the branches.

The green fire tree did not dodge at all, but felt extremely comfortable instead.

From time to time, wisps of green flames would emerge to provoke the red fish, causing it to laugh inexplicably.

With such a close relationship, Luo Chen probably took the opportunity to devour and refine it without even realizing it!

Luo Chen would never do such a thing.

For now, the quantity and quality of the sourceless fire devoured by the withered and flourishing fire spirit has reached its limit, and any further increase will be beyond his control.

While controlling the Withered and Flourishing True Fire and playing with the red fish, Luo Chen was chatting with Han Zhan through telepathy.

The content of the conversation was obviously something that had been bothering Luo Chen for the past half month.

"The spells are still exquisite, and the magic weapons are used just right. When it comes to grasping the opportunity and using the battlefield, there is no one better..."

Han Zhan analyzed it carefully for Luo Chen.

Finally come to a conclusion.

"You didn't do anything wrong in that battle."

Seeing Luo Chen's worried look, Han Zhan said helplessly, "Why should you be so hard on yourself? You were able to defeat a Nascent Soul Master. If word gets out that you're the one who made the world of immortal cultivation shaken, how are those veteran Golden Core Masters going to react if you act like this?"

Luo Chen forced a smile and said in a low voice, "I just felt that I could have done better in that battle, but I don't know what went wrong."

"Maybe there is no problem at all?" Han Zhan objected, and said seriously: "That Liu Jun is not a weakling, but a survivor of the great war between demons and monsters. Even if my physical body is still alive, it is still unknown who will win against him. If it is on the sea, then I will definitely lose!"

This was a comforting statement, but it was also true. Liu Jun was a great mermaid king, and his best skill was controlling water vapor.

When Xue Sanren, a real person who was said to be comparable to a great cultivator in the late Yuanying stage, was chasing him in the Sinking Sea, he let Liu Jun escape.

From this, we can see what the other party is capable of.

Luo Chen curled the corner of his mouth and just said, "Senior, you are too modest," and then did not respond.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen looked up and saw a beam of light flying towards him.

It's Tianxuan.

Behind Tianxuan was a black-robed monk with a powerful aura.

Swish!
The wind was howling and Tianxuan fell to the ground.

"Owner……"

Luo Chen raised his hand, interrupted Tian Xuan's words, and then looked at the visitor coldly.

The black-robed monk sensed Luo Chen's presence and stopped, then his eyes fell on the five-colored lotus platform under Luo Chen's seat.

He opened his mouth and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Top-grade Five Elements Lotus Platform!"

"This treasure, I want it!"

After saying that, he kicked the flying sword under his feet and rushed towards Luo Chen with murderous intent.

There is almost no nonsense, and it is so simple and direct for the monks to seize the treasure.

Luo Chen had thought about meeting other people in the Land of Falling Demons, but he didn't expect that both the Red Corpse Master and his group, and this black-clothed cultivator at the eighth level of the Golden Core, were so pure.

When robbing others of their belongings, they are reluctant to even say a hypocritical “this treasure is destined to be mine”.

It can only be said that the Demonic Land, which is isolated from the inside and the outside, brings out the baseness of human nature to the maximum, and no matter whether it is human or demon, they are too lazy to disguise themselves.

Including Luo Chen himself!

Facing the whistling flying sword, Luo Chen remained expressionless and simply stretched out his left hand.

Seeing the behavior of a sixth-level Jindan cultivator, the black-robed cultivator sneered.

"You're looking for death. My Taixuan Juemai Sword is made from Juetian evil spirit and a large amount of Gengjin. It is extremely sharp and cannot be resisted by ordinary defensive magic weapons. How dare you, a young man, take it with your bare hands... take it with your bare hands."

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

It was because that left hand, as white as jade, grasped the tip of the sword so lightly and skillfully.

No matter how the black-robed monk used his magic power, the so-called Taixuan Juemai Sword remained motionless under the terrifying force.

"How can this be!"

He roared inwardly, his face full of disbelief.

Afterwards, the red-robed Taoist was seen making hand gestures with his right hand, and finally spreading his fingers into a palm and pushing out horizontally.

A huge green palm print came rumbling forward.

The black-robed monk no longer bothered to recall his life-saving magic weapon and hurriedly performed defensive techniques. However, under the green palm print, all defenses were equivalent to nothing.

Even though he finally took out a low-grade defensive magic weapon, a wisp of green flame attached to it, and under the watchful eyes of the black-robed monk, the defensive magic weapon dimmed, as if it had lost its vitality.

boom!
One palm pushes across eight hundred feet.

The black-robed monk was flying in the air like a rag bag under the violent magic power.

Tianxuan took the opportunity to leap up and fanned the banana fan in his hand wildly. Several gusts of strong wind were scattered, killing it directly.

When the storm gradually subsided, Tianxuan returned to Luo Chen's seat carrying a storage bag.

"Master, this person coveted a piece of fourth-level amber lava that I dug up, and he chased me along the way..."

Tianxuan reported what happened, but when he got to the latter part, he found that Luo Chen was a little absent-minded.

clang!
The Taixuan Juemai sword fell to the ground.

Luo Chen stared at his left and right hands with a thoughtful look.

"Yes, my magic is exquisite, and my control over magic weapons is unmatched, but this is the method of a Qi Refiner."

"But now, my strongest point is obviously body training."

"In the past, I used body refining as my trump card, and I usually used magic spells and magic weapons to fight against the enemy. Even when fighting against Jiaohuang Liujun, I followed this habit."

"Obviously, this habit has its flaws now."

He slowly lowered his right hand, leaving only his left hand to support his life.

When fighting with top experts, life and death hang on a thin line, and the path of balance is absolutely useless.

No matter how sophisticated his magic is, he still cannot overcome the gap between Golden Core and Nascent Soul.

The only way to break the impasse is with this powerful physique that is comparable to that of a wild beast!

"Next, if I encounter an enemy at the Nascent Soul level again, perhaps I should change my fighting style."

He slowly clenched his left palm into a fist as big as a sandbag, with his muscles tense and his knuckles grim.

……

On a mountain top.

The pale-faced Mo Yun Cave Master looked at this scene and his heart trembled.

"He's getting stronger again!"

A great Jindan monk who looked difficult to mess with couldn't even survive a single move from him. How capable is this?
Tai Sui beside him smiled happily, "Be stronger! Be stronger!"

Facing the surprise of Moyun Cave Master, he explained in a slightly unnatural way: "I mean, the Land of Falling Demons is full of dangers. The stronger he is, the safer we are, right?"

Master Moyun accepted this statement.

Indeed, as it stands now, the Land of Fallen Demons is very dangerous.

It's not just the foreign monks fighting with each other, there are also some powerful creatures generated naturally in the local area.

Those fourth-order exotic beasts, fire spirits, and even the overlords of an area are definitely not something that these Jindan cultivators can contend with.

If you want to gain something, you must have the powerful combat power of Demon Lord Qingyang, who is comparable to that of the Nascent Soul stage, to lead the way.

Tai Sui looked up at the sky and said, "How are you now? Are you ready to set off?"

Cave Master Moyun coughed twice and nodded slowly.

"That's great. I'll go ask Demon Lord Qingyang to set a time to leave the Blazing Purgatory!"

Tai Sui went down the mountain leisurely.

He didn't want to stay in this scorching hell for even a single day.

……

A month later.

In an ancient primeval forest emitting rich vitality, three figures are looming.

The fat monk walked in front, followed by an old man and a young man.

The three people's pace was neither fast nor slow, they just walked with one deep step and one shallow step.

suddenly.

There was an ancient tree several dozen feet tall in front of us, with thick branches slapping across.

"Humph!"

The fat monk snorted coldly, and the branch stopped in front of the three people.

Cave Master Moyun looked at the scene in amazement, and finally his gaze fell on the huge face that was transformed from the ancient tree trunk.

"Wood spirit?"

The spirit of the ancient tree looked at the three people in confusion, its branches and leaves rustling, and finally it leaned slightly towards the fat monk, as if saluting.

"It seems that you still remember me!"

Tai Sui smiled slightly and waved his hand casually.

All of a sudden, the ancient trees in front trembled together, and the branches and vines spread out, as if making way for a path.

Tai Sui turned around and said, "This Hundred Crows Forest contains countless wood spirits and Dusk Crows. It is definitely the most dangerous place in the Five Elements Heaven. There is even a Wood Man King and a Dusk Crow Ancestor living there, both of which are at the fifth level. Their danger is no less than that of the Iron Devouring Beast in Qianren Mountain, the Heaven and Earth in the Flowing Sand Sea, and the Vermillion Bird Fire Spirit in the Blazing Purgatory."

"With them here, even a Nascent Soul expert wouldn't dare to cross the Hundred Crows Forest easily."

Moyun Cave Master was horrified, "There are actually two powerful beings comparable to the fifth level here?"

"Of course, after all, the existence of the Hundred Crows Ghost Forest is to protect Mutianyuan!" Tai Sui pointed with his right hand, and across the distance, a towering plain came into view. "That is Mutianyuan, and it was also the spiritual medicine garden of the former Demon Lord Liantian."

Having said this, he paused and looked proud.

"Also, you made a mistake. There are not two statues, but three."

He pointed to himself.

"I was once one of the three great masters of the Crow Forest!"

"This time, you are blessed to have me leading the way."

After saying this, Tai Sui laughed loudly, and his laughter spread throughout the ancient forest, causing the trees to tremble and the crows to fly up.

He strode forward, and wherever he passed, all the withered vines and ancient trees gave way.

The three of them moved forward as if the road were smooth.

Luo Chen watched the scene calmly, and finally looked towards the towering plain surrounded by the endless ghost forest.

There is the legendary Mu Tianyuan!

It is also the place where countless North Sea monks come one after another after entering the Sunken Sea!
