Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 677: Demonic Echoes, Thousands of Years

Mutianyuan.

Although it is called the Ridge Plateau, it is actually not flat.

There are undulating mountains, ravines and gullies, slowly flowing rivers and streams, and the snow on the mountains never melts all year round.

Such a complex and changeable geographical environment provides different living conditions for the spiritual herbs planted in it.

The previous plan stated that the three of them would cross Mutianyuan, but they would not fly directly over.

According to Tai Sui, Zhenjun Lianxu planted a large number of spiritual medicines on Mutianyuan. In order to prevent them from affecting each other's growth, various spiritual medicines were arranged in formations according to their corresponding growth habits.

A no-fly formation was set up above the entire Mutianyuan.

From this point on, you can fly low, but you can't rush over from high above.

For Luo Chen, the Five Elements Lotus Platform is already in his hands, and the attraction of the entire Fallen Demon Land to him has been greatly reduced.

Including the place of inheritance!
According to Tai Sui's statement and Han Zhan's inference, the place of inheritance was most likely prepared for Yuanying Zhenren. Even if he, a mere Jindan cultivator, went in, he would not get much benefit.

So, his current plan is very simple.

As promised before, help Tai Sui escape, then wait for the Soul Gathering Array in the Fallen Demon Land to close, and then find a teleportation array to leave directly.

During this process, if he encountered a fierce battle between Nascent Souls, he would not mind taking action to help Han Zhan seize the body of a human Nascent Soul.

However, now that he has arrived at the so-called Zhenjun Spiritual Medicine Garden, the alchemist Luo Chen naturally does not want to return empty-handed.

Why not pick a few magical herbs?

especially!

Tai Sui mentioned that this place grew several kinds of magical medicines suitable for body refining.

This made him extremely excited.

After reaching the fourth level of ancient body refining, Luo Chen vaguely sensed an invisible shackle.

It's like a bottleneck, but also like a shackle.

Such shackles restricted his further progress in physical training.

Luo Chen set out in a hurry and had no time to analyze where the shackles came from. He just had a brief reverie when he was in Penghu to stabilize his state of mind.

Either it is the limit of human nature and can only reach the fourth level of ancient times.

Or maybe it was a problem with the technique. After reaching the fourth level, the self-created "Ten Thousand Paths Convergence" could no longer be continued. However, this was doubtful. Because Luo Chen's original true fire had been greatly improved during his trip to the Blazing Purgatory, if it was used to assist in body refining, the effect would definitely be better.

As for the third point, Luo Chen attributed the cause of the problem to the essence of the Fiery Cloud Peng that he refined in his early years.

In the final analysis, his method of refining the body of wild beasts was based on the essence and blood of Fire Peng and evolved bit by bit on the basis of "Heavenly Peng Transformation".

Compared to a fourth-order wild beast, the potential of a mere second-order Fiery Cloud Peng has been basically exhausted.

Unless Luo Chen can change his source blood, and it has to be of the same lineage, so that it does not conflict with Liehuo Yunpeng.

Finally, if Luo Chen wanted to make further progress based on the initial stage of the fourth level of the ancient times, he would rely on external objects in the most conventional way.

What are external objects?

A top-level body-refining elixir like the Black Emperor Ointment will do!
Therefore, when he heard that there would be magical medicine suitable for body training in Mu Tianyuan, he was really tempted.

call……

The breeze blows.

Three figures landed on a piece of white rock.

Looking at the huge pit below, Tai Sui's face looked very unhappy.

"The monk from the North Sea is so rude!"

Moyun Cave Master was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Luo Chen bent down and grabbed a handful of loose soil on the rock.

"It's Qingnang soil."

Moyun Cave Master was puzzled. "The texture of Qingnang soil is soft and it doesn't condense into a shape. Isn't it a very bad spiritual soil?"

Luo Chen stood up and shook his head slightly.

"For weapon refiners, these characteristics of Qingnang soil are disadvantages, and it cannot be used to cast weapons. But for spiritual plant cultivators, Qingnang soil is an extremely excellent soil. It is soft and easy to take root, and it is condensed without lumps, which is convenient for fertilization. In addition, if it is combined with other special soils, it can be cultivated into a high-level spiritual soil called Qingxiansunang, which can allow some rare spiritual medicines to be wrapped in it and thrive."

Having said that, Luo Chen looked at Tai Sui.

"If I'm not mistaken, there was originally three acres of Qingxiansu soil here, which was specially used to cultivate some rare spiritual medicine, right?"

Tai Sui nodded gloomily.

"That's right. This used to be the garden where the True Lord cultivated ambergris. Not only did those foreign cultivators collect ambergris, they even dug up the soil. They are so cruel!"

Ambergris!

That's right.

This thing is at least level 4, and it has an excellent auxiliary effect on the cultivation of reptiles and other monsters. However, Ambergris has extremely high requirements for soil quality. If it leaves this piece of Qingxiansu Nang soil, it will wither in a short time.

If it were Luo Chen, if he couldn't immediately refine the ambergris into medicine, he would most likely dig three feet into the ground and pull out the soil and grass together.

The Lord of Moyun Cave was a little surprised, "Demon Lord, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in cultivating spiritual plants!"

Luo Chen smiled and said, "I just know a few friends who are good at this. I have gained some common sense, but I can't say I am proficient in it."

What he said is true.

Whether it was the family of Yuan Dongsheng and Grandma Yuan whom he met when he was young, or Sang Jiugong, whom he became friends with in the Wanxian Association later, they were all outstanding spiritual plant husbands.

Even Fu Jiusheng, a herbalist, is proficient in identifying the soil and growth habits of spiritual herbs.

After a long time of getting along, Luo Chen did learn some relevant knowledge.

Tai Sui was a little angry at this moment.

It felt like a guard dog discovering that things in the house had been stolen. No, the house had been moved away!
He walked around the huge pit a few times and muttered, "Even the Yuan Mo Sect monks know how to develop continuously and harvest spiritual medicines regularly. They are not like these barbaric monks who dry up the pond to catch fish and uproot the plants!"

"Damn it, it's really damned!"

From being rude at the beginning to being hateful later on, it was clear how angry Tai Sui was.

Luo Chen could actually understand this situation.

The Yuanmo Sect wants to conquer the Land of Fallen Demons and collect opportunities while treating this relic as a secret realm of the sect and exploring it regularly.

Maybe, it can be transformed into a trial place specifically for training disciples!

This is a sustainable business.

But after the fall of the Yuanmo Sect, the new group of people who came in, including Luo Chen, did not think about continued development, but just did a one-off deal!

Just go after you’ve scooped it up, and run after you’ve robbed it!
Who cares about the growth of spiritual medicines here, the changes in the ecological environment here, etc. thousands of years later.

But right now, there is a problem before them.

"Fellow Daoist Tai Sui, those places where the spiritual medicines you mentioned grow, haven't they all been taken by others?"

Tai Sui paused, his face looking gloomy and uncertain.

After a while, he shook his head.

"probably not."

"Spiritual medicines below the fourth level are all low-level items for a True Lord. Although they are planted in large quantities, they are dispensable. They are just for convenience."

"But spiritual medicines of the fourth rank and above are relatively rare. In most places where such medicines grow, the True Lords have specially arranged formations to prevent interference and influence from each other."

"Those formations separate the inside and outside, and it takes a very long time to crack them."

“Most of the cultivators who enter this place and are in the Nascent Soul stage are here for the inheritance. Even if they have a crush on some spiritual herbs, they will just pick them and leave after breaking the formation, and will not waste more time on other rare spiritual herbs.”

"As for those below the Nascent Soul stage..."

At this point, he sneered.

"If they want to break through those formations, it will take a lot of time and effort, and they might even lose their lives."

"Let's go!"

"They only came in a year or two earlier than us, they are not that far ahead."

After saying that, Tai Sui found a direction and flew away at a low altitude.

Luo Chen and the other two hurriedly followed.

……

A col.

Seven monks in white robes came running towards them.

The leader wore a wide robe with big sleeves and a tall crown on his head, looking quite otherworldly.

As soon as he landed on the ground, the transcendent male cultivator opened his feather fan, sweeping away the fog in the valley, and immediately the situation inside was revealed to the seven people.

Each one looks like a kite or a strange herb with its tail cut in the middle of a divine bird, swaying slowly.

Seeing this scene, the transcendent male cultivator smiled slightly.

"Sure enough, Master Fei Leng didn't lie to us. There is a large area of ​​divine irises growing here!"

The monk next to him who had a happy look on his face came forward and observed carefully, and the joy on his face gradually disappeared.

"Brother Yugao, there are only seven or eight fourth-level Divine Irises here. Isn't that too few?"

"few?"

Yu Gao smiled and waved his feather fan. "It's already a lot. Junior Brother Zhengyi, you don't think that the Yuanmo Sect controls this place, and those high-level divine irises have not been picked!"

Junior Brother Zhengyi suddenly realized.

"In just three hundred years, there are already seven or eight fourth-order divine irises here. This shows how sophisticated the cultivation method is."

Changing the subject, Yu Gao inserted the feather fan behind his neck and slowly rolled up his sleeves.

It is quite indecent to behave like this.

But combined with his subsequent words, it seems natural.

"Besides, what we need to do is to move all of this piece of divine iris, including this valley, into Penglai Pavilion and take it back to supplement our sect's foundation. The number of high-grade divine irises is not important, the key is this sacred land!"

"Brothers, prepare to observe the surroundings and break the formation to move!"

At the command, the other six people took action.

There was no shortage of excited words during this time.

Everyone knows that the Divine Iris is the best auxiliary resource for Jindan cultivators to form a baby.

These immortal cultivators have relatively weak physiques. The Divine Iris is a famous solid elixir that can help the body withstand the huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth that is poured into the body when forming a fetus.

If they could harvest this batch of divine irises and even the entire spiritual land, there was no telling how many Nascent Soul True Immortals their Penglai Immortal Sect would produce in the future!

Digging up sacred land may be somewhat immoral.

But compared with the rise and fall of the sect, it is nothing.

However, when they were preparing to break the formation, they obviously encountered great trouble.

Yugao stood there, frowning slightly.

In addition to the original formation here, there is also another extremely lethal killing formation. The two formation styles are completely different.

"Is this the killing array that the Yuan Mo Sect monks set up after harvesting the Divine Iris?"

Sighing, Yu Gao took out a compass and began to walk around the col.

This time, it will take some more time.

His eyes fell on those fellow apprentices and he sighed again.

The battle between good and evil in the outside world is in full swing. The Penglai Immortal Sect joins forces with the Moluo Clan to fight against the Canghai Alliance.

The sect's elite troops were basically deployed on the battlefield.

Although he, the second senior brother of the current generation, led the team to the Land of Fallen Demons this time, the remaining six junior brothers were much weaker than them in terms of realm and ability.

As a result, time had to slow down in breaking the formation.

"Take your time. At least we can keep the cultivators of Canghai League out. Without the competition from the strongest force in the North Sea, at least the casualties won't be too great."

Thinking of this, Yu Gao forced himself to cheer up.

In the battle between good and evil, the ones fighting are cultivators, but what is being put to the test is their foundation.

What he is doing now is to add foundation to the Penglai Immortal Sect!

As long as they succeed, the Penglai Immortal Sect's strength will be greatly increased after they get out, and by nibbling away at it bit by bit, they will definitely be able to repel the scattered Canghai Alliance.

By then, his Penglai Immortal Sect will be able to replace the Yuanmo Sect and become the master of the North Sea!

As for the Moro flow?
He didn't take it into consideration at all. It was impossible for that force to achieve great things from the very beginning!
……

"here it is?"

After breaking through the outermost illusion array, Luo Chen stood in front of a cave in confusion.

Tai Sui in front turned around and said, "If I remember correctly, there is a demon-concentric tree planted here. The illusion array outside just now was intact, which shows that the Yuan Mo Sect monks have not discovered this secret place."

"Demon Heart Tree?" Luo Chen looked confused. "Why have I never heard of this kind of magical medicine?"

Tai Sui laughed, "Of course you have never heard of it, because this tree is a new variety cultivated by Zhenjun himself, and it is the only one in the world!"

New varieties?
Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "What's the grade?"

"When it sprouts, it will be at the fourth level, and when it grows up, it will be at the fifth level!"

Luo Chen was stunned, then his expression changed slightly.

"A fifth-level spiritual tree should have intelligence, right?"

Tai Sui waved his hand, "No, this tree is not formed naturally by heaven and earth. It was formed by the True Lord by taking the hearts of a fifth-level ancient demon and a fifth-level ancient demon, and hybridizing them with the True Scale Tree. Because it is against the harmony of heaven, it is extremely difficult to communicate with spirits. According to the True Lord's estimation, unless it has experienced thirty-nine thunder tribulations and survived the wrath of heaven and earth, it can communicate with spirits."

At this point, Tai Sui blinked.

"Demon Lord Qingyang, you don't think that any high-grade wood or stone person can be spiritual!"

Luo Chen's expression froze.

At least, that's what the classics he read said.

The higher the grade, the closer one is to a cultivator, and the more likely one is to develop spiritual intelligence.

Tai Sui said leisurely, "It's different. The Mountain and Sea Realm is different from other places. This world is full of spiritual energy, so there are many people who can communicate with spirits. But for real spirits, the deeper the foundation and the higher the grade, the harder it is to communicate with spirits. This is the way to balance heaven and earth."

Luo Chen was confused and didn't understand what he meant.

Now is not the time to ask further questions, so I can only focus on the spiritual tree inside.

"Does this Demonic Heart Tree really have the function of assisting in body training?"

"I think... there is." Tai Sui hesitated.

Luo Chen frowned, "What do you mean by want to come?"

Tai Sui shrugged, "Among the many major clans, the demon clan and the demon clan are naturally strong. Do you think the spiritual tree forged with their blood and sweat will have an auxiliary effect on body refining?"

Ok!

The principle seems to be roughly the same.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and said, "Then let's start breaking the formation!"

Tai Sui nodded and joined the team to break the formation.

During this process, he would pay attention to Luo Chen's methods of breaking the formation from time to time.

At the beginning, it seemed a bit rough and not as good as that of Moyun Cave Master.

But later on, he seemed to be familiar with Zhenjun's style of setting up formations, and gradually surpassed Moyun Cave Master.

Such progress made Tai Sui quite happy.

As far as third-rank formation masters are concerned, Luo Chen and Mo Yun Cave Master are already among the best, and should be able to provide some help when his main body escapes from trouble later.

This is an experiment!
A month later.

Looking at the ten-foot-tall tree deep in the cave and the hazy green light, Luo Chen and Cave Master Mo Yun looked at each other, feeling powerless all over.

"I don't know where to start with this big formation."

"It's the same for me. I can't find any flaws at all!"

These words were spoken from the heart by both of them.

Luo Chen, in particular, although he has a strong foundation in formations, he also has a pair of spiritual eyes that can see through the flaws in formations, making it like a god's help in breaking the formation.

However, his knowledge of high-level formations is relatively weak.

The green light formation before him was completely beyond his understanding.

Tai Sui seemed to have anticipated this.

"It's okay, leave it to me from now on!"

He pursed his lips and cut off a piece of fat from his body in front of the two of them.

It was refined with magic power and transformed into a burst of blood light that fell on the green light formation.

Subsequently.

Something strange happened.

The green light curtain gradually melted, revealing a portal that one person could pass through.

"This..." The Lord of Moyun Cave opened his mouth wide, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Such a wonderful formation was cracked so easily?

Tai Sui turned around, his face slightly pale, and explained softly: "When the True Lord cultivated this tree, he borrowed the huge vitality of my body, so this formation cannot defend against me."

It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.

As he spoke, Tai Sui stepped into the portal.

Luo Chen also followed him in.

But just as he entered, his body suddenly stiffened, and he felt a silent roar rising in his heart!

In just a moment, an illusion of a demon seemed to suddenly emerge in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Tai Sui withdrew and stood in front of the door, preventing Lord Mo Yun from entering.

He stared quietly at Luo Chen's back in front of him, with a sinister look on his face.

"The demons have been echoing for a thousand years, and only the soul of the Nascent Soul can stop them."

"I want to see what the third person that old ghost mentioned is."

"Show me your true colors!"
