Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 684: Danjie Stone House, Treasure Land, Zhenjun's Questions, the Divide between Immortals and Mortals

"Dan Realm?"

Luo Chen murmured the two words on the gray-white stone tablet, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Could it be that the inheritance place pointed to by this starlight passage is the inheritance of alchemy?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Luo Chen was certain that it was correct.

When he was outside before, he vaguely felt that among the thirteen roads, there were two that exuded a strong attraction to him.

If you look at it from the other side, if Lord Liantian wants to choose the most suitable successor to inherit his Taoist tradition, it should naturally be someone who is extremely compatible with a certain inheritance.

Luo Chen, among all his arts, had the highest attainment in alchemy.

Even when he was in the initial stage of Golden Core, he had already reached the level of a fourth-rank alchemist!

Even in the world of mountains and seas, he is the most talented being, and there is no one better!

Enough to be called a master of his generation!
After realizing this, Luo Chen felt a little complicated.

As far as alchemy is concerned, his attainments are already high enough.

Whether it is the Jindan stage or even the future Yuanying stage, he feels that he is more than capable of it.

Even if he continues to make progress, it may not bring much improvement to his own practice.

This is why, after coming to the North Sea, he cultivated his body, refined his weapons, and studied the art, but he was not as focused on refining pills as he was in the Eastern Wasteland. He just kept refining the pills that he had already achieved success in the past.

It’s enough, why go further?
Now, with an opportunity to inherit the legacy before him, he wanted to be more…

"That's it!"

"Now that it's here, let's make peace with it!"

"I think with my attainments in alchemy, it should be more than enough to survive this test in the alchemy world."

Luo Chen put away his regrets and adjusted his mindset.

The place of inheritance is said to be extremely dangerous. Even though this alchemy world seems peaceful, who knows if there will be any danger?
Luo Chen first checked his own condition.

The mana is flowing smoothly and the magic weapon can be used at any time. However, the mana of the second Yuandan is slightly depleted and I need to find time to repair it.

The storage ring can also be opened, the spirit beast bag...

Just when Luo Chen wanted to open the spirit beast bag and summon Black King Tianxuan to explore the way for him, he suddenly discovered that the bag seemed to be imprisoned by some invisible force and could not be opened in this world at all.

Luo Chen frowned, "Don't you want outsiders to help you when you want to pass on your legacy?"

Shaking his head, Luo Chen immediately sat down cross-legged in front of the stone tablet.

Before exploring the Dan Realm, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with.

As soon as the mind moves, the magic power surges.

As the magic power surged, a strange force began to stir in Luo Chen.

quickly!

Then a vision appeared.

Looking at the mushroom-like thing growing on his shoulder, Luo Chen's face looked a little gloomy.

The power of Tai Sui!
This strange force will absorb a large amount of his magic power, thus generating foreign objects such as mushrooms and Ganoderma lucidum.

Luo Chen even had a feeling that after his magic power was exhausted, his flesh, blood, vitality and even soul might be absorbed and become nutrients for the mushrooms.

"Vicious means, strange power."

After muttering something, Luo Chen slowly closed his eyes, and his spiritual awareness spread to every corner of his body.

Afterwards, the true fire of withering and flourishing in his body slowly spread and enveloped Luo Chen's entire body.

During this slow burning process, the remaining traces of strange power of Tai Sui's clone were being continuously refined.

If it were an ordinary person, he would never dare to burn himself with real fire in this way.

But Luo Chen is different. His powerful physique, comparable to that of wild beasts, was tempered by fire day and night.

"Sure enough, my enhanced True Fire of Withering and Flourishing does have some restraining effect on Tai Sui's power."

“If I had continued to devour the Fire Spirit without caring about anything and reached the level of the Vermillion Bird Fire Spirit, even Tai Sui would not dare to provoke me easily.”

"It's just that..."

He curled his lips and refused to think too deeply about things that had not happened.

Luo Chen calmed down and persevered in refining the strange power in his body.

……

a few days later.

The red-robed Taoist priest strolled among the green mountains and clear waters, looking relaxed and carefree.

There was no flying, but just walking on the ground with both feet, neither fast nor slow.

This person was Luo Chen, who had released the power of Tai Sui.

The reason why he could move forward so leisurely was that this world was filled with exotic flowers and plants, as well as many magical medicines from immortals.

Although from his point of view, the quality of these medicinal herbs that can be found everywhere is not very high, only about level one to three, but there are many varieties, and many of them are rare and precious things rarely seen in the outside world.

Just like now.

Luo Chen squatted down on the ground, took out a medicine hoe from the storage ring, and dug carefully.

After a moment, a piece of beardless tree root, which looked like a human tongue, appeared before his eyes.

“It is indeed the root of heaven and earth!”

"I said, this place's spiritual vein is obviously not of high grade, but it attracts all kinds of complicated spiritual energy to gather here."

"Only the root of heaven and earth can have this effect."

Luo Chen dug out the tongue with a look of surprise on his face.

He was no stranger to the root of heaven and earth.

When he was still in the Qi Refining Stage, he had seen it being auctioned at the Zhenlong black market in Dahefang.

It is said that it came from the Jindan ruins in the Guyuan Mountains.

This elixir has extremely special effects. It can ignore attribute restrictions and absorb all kinds of spiritual energy into the body.

The longer the years, the better the effect.

It has unimaginable effects on cultivators’ breakthroughs.

At the beginning, Duan Feng successfully broke through the foundation-building stage by relying on a section of the 800-year-old root of heaven and earth.

According to records in ancient books, the magical use of the Root of Heaven and Earth is not just for building the foundation. As long as it is long enough, it can also play an auxiliary role even in forming the elixir or condensing the infant.

After the simple surprise, there is regret.

The spiritual energy concentration of this piece of Root of Heaven and Earth in his hand is average, about five hundred years old, which is just enough for a Qi-refining cultivator to break through to the foundation-building stage.

In fact, the effect of the medicine is still weak.

"Yes, there are many cultivators in this world, and thousand-year-old elixirs are hard to find, and ten-thousand-year-old elixirs are even rarer. How can there be so many of them..."

As he was expressing his emotion, Luo Chen subconsciously looked towards the green hills.

A sense of disharmony arises in my heart.

"Let's not even talk about how Lord Lian Tianmo arranged this Dan Realm when he was alive. Just since his death, it has been a thousand years since the Fallen Demon Land came to be. But why are the spiritual medicines here basically less than 500 years old?"

"It shouldn't be!"

Confused, Luo Chen quickened his pace, and his spiritual sense and spiritual eyes kept scanning this area.

The snow has cleared and the grass has grown for three hundred and fifty years.

Red bead flower, one hundred years.

Unknown spiritual herbs, about two hundred...

As Luo Chen walked further and further away, the doubts in his heart grew stronger.

After he crossed over three mountains and five lakes and saw thousands of kinds of spiritual medicines, the sense of disharmony reached its extreme.

The elixirs here seem to be stuck within a lifespan of 500 years.

Just at this moment, before he had time to look for the answer, a corner of the eaves came into view among the green mountains.

Luo Chen was invigorated and hurriedly flew over there. After a while, a stone palace covering an area of ​​about five acres appeared in front of him.

The familiar architectural style of the stone house where the soul-gathering formation was set up made Luo Chen feel at ease.

"Is this the place where we receive inheritance?"

He approached the stone hall cautiously, stretched out his hands and pushed open the door.

There was no smoke or dust caused by years of disrepair as imagined, only the faint scent of books and herbs filled the nose.

The door of the stone hall opened, and three stone-paved paths appeared in front of Luo Chen.

Every trail has a sign.

【study】

【pharmacy】

【Alchemy Room】

It is indeed the standard configuration for alchemists. Luo Chen also arranged it like this when he was in Luotian Sect.

He stopped in front of three stone roads, hesitated for a while, and then walked towards the alchemy room.

“Maybe there is a miraculous elixir left behind by Lord Lian Tian Demon?”

With this thought in mind, Luo Chen pushed open the door of the alchemy room.

Everything you see is ordinary, with a not-so-remarkable magical instrument, the alchemy cauldron, sitting at the exit of the underground fire.

Magical alchemy cauldron?

Surprised, Luo Chen scanned the cauldron with his spiritual sense and found no remaining elixirs.

After turning around, Luo Chen had to give up his fantasy.

It only paused for a moment at the crater.

The black and burnt marks showed that someone had used the fire here not long ago.

"Has anyone been here before me?"

Luo Chen was shocked.

Before entering the place of inheritance, he thought that he might meet people there, and he was prepared to fight with them.

But when they arrived at the fourteen star entrances of Ming Zhaotian, this idea dissipated a lot.

There is no other reason, there are fourteen in total... No! There are thirteen paths in total, each corresponding to a Demon Lord inheritance.

Those who can reach Mingzhaotian are either Yuanying Zhenren or Jindan cultivators who are blessed by Zhenren.

There are many people who meet these conditions.

But with the elimination from Liwangtian and Wuxingtian, the number of people who can reach Mingzhaotian has become very small.

In this situation, there is still a choice among thirteen roads, and Luo Chen doesn't think he will meet someone who makes the same choice as him.

However, he did not expect that the traces here clearly showed that someone had entered the alchemy world before him and accepted the alchemy inheritance from the Demon Lord.

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Who is the one?"

Looking around, most of the traces had been erased by humans, leaving only a little bit of charred and burnt traces at the exit of the underground fire.

After some contemplation, Luo Chen couldn't think of anyone among the people who entered the Meteorite Land this time who was good at alchemy.

In other words, all high-level cultivators will dabble in alchemy, the only difference is whether they only dabble in it or achieve some success.

Unable to figure out who it was, Luo Chen temporarily left the alchemy room.

Even if there is no elixir in the alchemy room, there must be some in the pharmacy!

He didn't mind whether it was ready-made elixirs or collected medicinal herbs... Well, it was still empty.

There are no medicinal herbs or panaceas.

There are just a variety of tools and instruments for processing medicinal materials.

Guillotine, pestle, mortar, golden jar, grinding boat...there is even a "juicer"!
Luo Chen felt very familiar and yet very unfamiliar with these instruments.

Familiar because he knows them all.

As for unfamiliarity, he rarely used it, because most of the time he didn't need to process the medicinal materials needed for alchemy himself. Instead, he asked his subordinates to process them in advance, or went to the store to buy finished products.

Even when he arrived in the immortal cultivation world of Beihai, he still had immortal cultivation families like Cheng Haixin, Tianxuan and even Zhang Jidi to help him process medicinal materials.

Therefore, he is indeed the most familiar stranger with these instruments for processing medicinal materials.

After staying in the pharmacy for a while, Luo Chen finally stepped into the study.

When the door opens, the fragrance of books fills the air.

As far as the eye can see, there are ten rows of tall bookshelves, with exquisite bamboo slips piled up like small mountains.

A light red desk made of unknown material stands by the window.

Luo Chen walked slowly across the bookshelf and reached out to take down a bamboo slip.

【Snow Grass: It breaks out of the ground when the rain and snow stop and the sky clears up. It likes dampness and coldness and hates dryness and heat. Body shape: The main root is thick and extends straight downward, with many fibrous roots. The stem is upright, about two inches long, and the petals are hexagonal like snowflakes... Cultivation: Wild Snow Grass should be accompanied by snow firefly moths, and the grass seeds are collected and spread all over the fields. For artificial cultivation, the rhizomes should be taken... Note: It is best to stimulate it with light snow showers and light cloud and rain showers at intervals. Medicinal effect: It tastes sweet, is mild in nature and non-toxic, can clear away heat, detoxify, relieve cough and asthma, and is most suitable for use as a detoxification pill. Because of its neutral and peaceful medicinal properties, it is also suitable as the main material for pills that dredge the meridians. Processing method: Grind the petals into powder, and use clear spring water to dissolve it when refining. Similar species: It looks like white snow grass. It has the same nature as Yinyue flower...】

Luo Chen read ten lines at a glance, quickly scanning the contents on the bamboo slips.

At first glance, I don't take it seriously.

He was familiar with this kind of herb. It was produced in large quantities in the Ice Castle in the past.

But as he looked more closely, his expression gradually changed.

The details of the description are rare in the world.

Even the cultivators in the Ice Castle who specialize in cultivating this spiritual herb probably cannot explain so many aspects of it.

From growth habits to physical characteristics, as well as cultivation and planting, how to use drugs, and even similar things, everything is included.

At the end, several natural enemies that are harmful to snow grass are specifically mentioned.

“So meticulous?”

Luo Chen put down the bamboo slip in surprise and took out another one.

It clearly recorded another kind of medicinal material that Luo Chen did not recognize, called Scorpio Leaf. The content recorded on it was equally dense, even complicated!
Although he was not familiar with the Scorpio Leaf, after Luo Chen read it through, he already had an extremely clear image of this medicinal herb in his mind.

From growth habits to the final appropriate treatment and medication, everything is clear.

Luo Chen put down the bamboo slips and quietly looked at the study room which had ten wooden bookshelves, his heart filled with emotions.

If the bamboo slips here all record medicinal materials, and each one is so detailed, then this study is simply a treasure trove that alchemists, spiritual plant growers, pharmacists and even herbalists dream of.

The value of this place is far greater than any "Detailed Explanation of Herbs" or "Illustrated Catalog of Miraculous Medicines".

Anyway, none of the medical books Luo Chen had seen before were as detailed as this.

If you can read through the bamboo slips here, even if you can't make elixirs or medicines, you can at least become a senior appraiser in a shop or auction house.

As his heart was surging, Luo Chen used the "Micro Dust Element Technique" to suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind and walked towards the desk by the window.

On top of it, there is a jade slip.

If these bamboo slips recording the detailed contents of the medicinal materials are one of the inheritances left by the Demon Lord Liantian.

Perhaps it can be considered precious, but it is definitely not worthy of the style of a generation of Lianxu Zhenjun.

So, this jade slip...

Luo Chen probed his spiritual sense into it with great anticipation.

[Why can immortals travel the universe, but mortals can only be frogs in a well?
In essence, it is nothing more than the word "spiritual root".

We alchemists understand pharmacology and the human body, and can refine various elixirs according to the individual's needs.

Whether it is flesh and bones or the living dead, it can also help you avoid poison and resolve doubts, clear your mind and calm your soul, and improve your cultivation level.

If this is the case, why can't we refine the corresponding spiritual root elixir to break the gap between immortals and mortals? 】

pat!

The jade slip fell on the desk, and only Luo Chen's astonished face flickered in the light of the setting sun shining through the window.
