Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 688: Puppet City, the easiest level

"I am Haijiao Tianmu, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman suddenly made a move and flicked her finger towards Luo Chen.

A faint light suddenly appeared.

She was so straightforward that she just wanted to get rid of her competitors.

At this moment, the dim light disappeared for no reason when it was within ten feet of Luo Chen.

It disappeared silently and without any movement.

"this!"

The old woman cried out in surprise, as if she had never expected this to happen.

Luo Chen also cried out in surprise.

"what……"

Within the Dan Realm, that weak voice reappeared.

"In the alchemy world, only the alchemy path will last forever. Do not create disputes or murderous intentions. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed!"

The rumbling sound echoed among the mountains and white clouds. Even though it was weak and low, it did not change the murderous intent in it.

Hearing this voice, Haijiao Tianmu's face turned ugly.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, started laughing.

When he saw the other party just now, he was full of alert and ready for a fight.

Especially the strange attack launched by the opponent. Its speed was so fast and its restrained power was so great that it was obvious at a glance that it was not something that a Jindan cultivator could perform.

If he really had to fight, he would definitely be in for a tough fight.

But I didn't expect that this world would have such restrictions.

That’s right, the alchemy world is a heritage of alchemy, and all competition is based on alchemy assessments. How can we engage in reckless fighting and killing?
He smiled slightly, "Haijiao Tianmu? Before meeting, she left bamboo slips to mislead people, but when she first met, she attacked without restraint. Tsk tsk, is this the temperament of a demon king?"

Haijiao Tianmu looked at Luo Chen without any sadness or joy, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

next moment.

There was a loud bang, and Luo Chen suddenly appeared beside her, stirring up a violent storm and speaking in sarcastic words.

"An animal is an animal. Even if it transforms into a human form, it still eats raw meat and drinks blood, and is wild, rebellious and reckless."

"you!"

Luo Chen shook his head, strode past him, and headed straight for the center of this world.

Behind him, Haijiao Tianmu was holding a medicine basket, her expression neither sad nor happy now turned ashen.

She, Haijiao Tianmu, is one of the most powerful beings in the North Sea demon clan. Even though her realm is not the top one, any fourth-level demon king has to respect her.

It is even said that some Yuanying Zhenren of the human race maintain a good relationship with her in private.

All this is because she is good at making pills.

He is undoubtedly the master of alchemy in Beihai.

I don't know how many years it has been since someone would be so disrespectful to her and say such outrageous things.

If it were in the outside world, she wouldn't even have to do it herself. With just a command, there would be plenty of people willing to take care of this youngster for her.

Unfortunately, there is a stronger force suppressing us in this Dan world...

A stronger force...

The old woman suddenly sneered.

"You are so rude, little human. Do you really think the rules of this place can protect you forever?"

Luo Chen paused.

He never looked back, but his tone was extremely confident.

"It only took me three years to catch up with your progress of several years. I think even if there are other levels in the future, I will be able to crack them faster than you. This place's inheritance is mine!"

"As for who will win after we leave this place, it is still unknown."

"Haijiao Tianmu, right? You should first think about whether you can pass the test and leave the place of inheritance!"

After saying this, he left leisurely without stopping.

That strong self-confidence seems to still linger here.

The old woman's sneer had disappeared. She looked at Luo Chen's back with doubt and uncertainty, and her expression kept changing.

……

Not long after, in a dense black soil forest, Luo Chen was walking slowly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"The Seaside Tianmu is actually this monster!"

He knew this name because he had accidentally seen it in the intelligence database of the Wanxian Society.

This monster is extremely famous in the immortal cultivation world of the North Sea!
He is a master-level alchemist. Even though he is only at the early Nascent Soul stage, he has a high status among the demon race.

Not only that.

She is also one of the few demons who has indirect relations with the major human forces.

It is said that she once personally participated in a human alchemy event, and even though her identity was discovered later, she left calmly.

The influence is so great that it transcends the difference between humans and demons.

If Luo Chen encountered such a being under normal circumstances, he would definitely have to deal with it with caution.

Even if I don't try to please him, I won't offend him too much. How could I mock him as much as I did just now?

The reason why he did this was actually very simple.

Inheritance comes first, you and I are enemies.

Since there are restrictions on the rules of this world and we cannot resort to force, we can use verbal attacks to confuse their minds.

As for the effect?
“It should be effective, right?”

Luo Chen murmured, still unsure.

When it comes to the stage of transformation into a Demon King, he is no longer those shallow-minded, unintelligent birds and beasts, and is almost the same as a human Yuanying Zhenren.

It can be said that even if one's mind is not as deep as the sea, it cannot be provoked by a few words.

But in Luo Chen's opinion, no matter how good his temper is or how scheming he is, he will never be able to remain calm if he is hit in the skill he is best at.

As for the people Luo Chen had met in the past, whether it was Huang Hezi from Qingdan Valley or Meng Changshou from Yaowang Sect, if you said that their realm was not high, they would just laugh and not care at all, but if you said that their alchemy skills were not good, then they would really get angry.

Another example is the recently familiar Lord Moyun. He is fine at other times, but as long as it comes to things like refining equipment and casting treasures, he will have completely different emotional expressions.

That Haijiao Tianmu is very old, but her realm is not very high. It can be seen that she has put most of her energy into alchemy.

Luo Chen used this to attack the other party, and it was impossible for the other party not to be affected.

Especially, part of what I said was true!
It really took Luo Chen only two years to catch up with his opponent and reach the third level!
If we continue like this, it is only a matter of time before we surpass Haijiao Tianmu.

Luo Chen didn't believe that the other party could remain as calm as a rock in the face of such a straightforward truth.

"It would be best if I could confuse his mind. Even if it's only for a moment, it can buy me some time."

Luo Chen murmured, his eyes fixed on the black forest filled with demonic energy.

He had never heard of or seen the fruits of the sacred trees here.

And that evil and sinister demonic aura undoubtedly confirmed his previous guess.

The assessment of the third level is most likely related to the demons.

This time, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than the previous two levels.

……

In a world of steel and giant trees, the sound of mechanical gears "clicking" echoed everywhere.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see many dead creatures, looming in the steel city.

This is the puppet city!
suddenly.

A giant bird soared into the sky from the capital, stirring up countless winds and clouds.

When it reaches a very high altitude, its wings are spread out and its body gradually slows down.

His bright eyes were filled with joy.

"Haha, this inheritance is actually puppetry, it suits me perfectly!"

In just two years, Han Zhan broke through nine barriers and conquered the third puppet city.

At this moment, the puppet controlled by his Nascent Soul had reached the early Nascent Soul stage!

This is the strongest puppet he can create while his physical body is still intact.

"I don't know what's going on with Luo Chen?"

The strange giant bird with a mechanical feel was circling above the puppet city. Below it, wooden birds of different sizes, of the same model as the bird, flew up and began to circle around it.

Han Zhan muttered a few words to Luo Chen, then controlled the giant bird and led the flock of birds to fly farther away.

A few days later.

An even more majestic steel city comes into view.

Han Zhan rode the giant bird and looked down at the city.

Unlike the previous capital city filled with countless puppets, this time, there were no shadowy figures in the steel city. There was only a towering figure crawling in the center of the city.

The whole body is silvery white, and the hair is as sharp as a knife.

On the forehead, there is a big "王" character, rushing straight into the heart.

The moment he saw this thing, Han Zhan's heart trembled.

“Could it be that this time, you want me to refine a white tiger puppet that can defeat this late Nascent Soul stage?”

"How is this possible?"

……

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, sticks, lances, whips, maces, hammers, claws...

This is the world of weapons.

In other words, this place is more like a graveyard of all kinds of weapons.

When the breeze blows, there are sounds of killing and fighting, resounding.

If there were a high-level cultivator here, he would definitely be extremely excited.

It’s because those weapons stuck in the ground and scattered everywhere are all fine products rarely seen in the outside world.

From low-level magical instruments to high-level magical treasures, and even real instruments, they can be seen everywhere.

How can this not be dazzling?

A towering iron mountain.

An elegant middle-aged man, now wearing a sweatshirt, was swinging the hammer in front of him vigorously.

In front of him, an iron sword took shape.

"I will refine this sword using the ancient method, and maybe I can complete the assessment and climb another mountain!"

As he was tempering the sword, the middle-aged man's thoughts were slightly churning.

"I wonder how Shaoshang and Xiaolian are doing?"

"What Li Da Neng said is not entirely true. He only said that there is a Holy Spirit-Shaping Spring in the inheritance land, but he did not say that there are more than a dozen different inheritances."

"Are the two paths chosen by Shaoshang and Xiaolian dangerous..."

Just when he was full of thoughts, his heart suddenly moved.

He stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction he came from.

Someone is climbing up the mountain!
"It's that little Mo Yun!"

Relying on the means he had learned before, the middle-aged man instantly knew who was chasing him.

Thinking of the other person, the man's expression darkened.

"This person's name contains the character 'Yun', which conflicts with me, Gu Feiyun. Now we are competing for the same inheritance, which makes us even more confrontational."

"Judging from the mountain he climbed, I'm afraid he has refined the lower-grade magic weapon required in the test. I can't delay any longer."

"only……"

He looked toward the Iron Mountain behind him, and seemed to be passing through the mountains, looking far away at the tall and mighty Soldier Mountains further behind.

"This is only the third level and it involves a top-grade magic weapon. If I want to obtain the true inheritance, do I have to refine a real weapon or even a spiritual treasure?"

Thinking of the bumpy road ahead, Gu Feiyun became more and more uneasy.

……

"There are 3,200 demon tribes, and seven or eight of them practice body cultivation. What these people seek is the body of an ancient demon."

"The ancient demons stood tall and proud, with their feet on the mountains and rivers... The foundation of everything started from the smallest things..."

In the study, Luo Chen closed his eyes and studied the test questions skillfully.

After only the first time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this level might be the easiest one among the three levels for him.

The elixir that needed to be refined was actually an elixir to assist in body refining!
And the grade is not high, it’s just more complicated.

It extends from three directions: skin, bones, and blood.

Although there is no specific recipe for the elixir like the previous two levels, Luo Chen has been tempering his body day after day for hundreds of years and is extremely proficient in this area.

His current fourth-level ancient physique was enough for him to gain a bird's-eye view and reversely deduce the low-level body-refining elixirs.

The only thing to consider is that these pills need to be suitable for the bodies of the demons.

Luo Chen didn't understand the demons, and had never seen what the demons' bodies looked like.

But he believed that the answers must be hidden in the bamboo slips in this study!

Next, you just need to read all the bamboo slips here, collect medicinal materials, deduce the elixir formula, and refine it into pills.

"This time, I finally encountered an easy one!"

Luo Chen murmured.

But immediately, he put away his smile.

He remembered clearly that when he first arrived here, Haijiao Tianmu was collecting medicinal herbs.

This means that the other party is very likely to have already walked ahead of him.

"But there is no time to delay."

Without hesitation, Luo Chen stepped into the bookshelves and immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.

Shortly after.

The old woman in green and colorful clothes returned to the study. Looking at the young man holding the bamboo slips and eagerly absorbing the knowledge of alchemy, a look of resentment appeared on her face.

"You little brat are so arrogant. Do you really think the test questions set by the ancient monks are so simple that you can pass them easily?"

"I don't know how you managed to pass the first two levels, but this third level will definitely leave you stuck and at a loss."

With complicated thoughts in her mind, she snorted coldly, turned around and walked out.

She has deduced a new pill formula and has already collected the medicinal materials. It will definitely succeed this time!
By then, I will definitely be one step ahead of the other party and pass this level!

Not only does she want to secure the inheritance, but after she gets out, she will also have to capture this guy called Demon Lord Qingyang and make him wish he were dead, in order to make up for the crime of offending her before!
