Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 689: Transformed into a demon, a monster, and also into a human

"The Viper clan: They are like snakes and horses, with scales on their bodies and four legs on their abdomens. They have twelve large tendons and ninety-six small tendons, which is the number of the small Zhoutian..."

"Horned Demons: They look like humans, but have horns on their heads. They have a single horn, and they can absorb the power of wind and thunder. They are unstoppable..."

"The Deformed Eye Clan: They have one eye on their eyebrows, and possess the three strange powers of petrification, prohibiting the sky, and soul-stealing. They are also called the Deformed Eye Clan. According to legend, they are the descendants of Zhulong, one of the three ancient demons in the demon world. They are born weak, and their one eye cannot be looked at directly. There are a total of 1,800 blocked acupoints in their bodies. When all the acupoints open, they become demons and open their demon eyes..."

"The Poro tribe..."

Just as Luo Chen expected, in addition to information about various medicinal materials, the bamboo slips in the study of the third level also recorded a large amount of information about the races in the demon world.

There are even pictures on some bamboo slips for comparison!

Although it is just a few strokes, the painting skills are almost mystical, and it makes people feel as if the devil is right in front of them at first glance.

In fact, it's not just the painting skills, the calligraphy on these bamboo slips is also extremely superb and contains special power. Even if Luo Chen doesn't recognize the characters, he can understand the true meaning with just one glance.

If these bamboo slips were all written by Lord Liantian Demon himself, then what he could do is truly astonishing.

Back to topic.

By reading the bamboo slips, over the course of half a year, Luo Chen gained a deeper understanding of the demon world that he had never seen before.

All kinds of strange races, incredible abilities, ugly or beautiful looks... and extremely complex body structures!
Thousands of races gather in one world. The physical differences between them make the elixirs used by each race different.

"When I first saw the third level test questions, I was so excited that I thought it was just a body-refining elixir, which I could easily obtain."

"Now that I understand the distribution of the demon races and the structure of most demon bodies, I realize that this simplicity contains complexity!"

The fact that this is so difficult for Luo Chen shows where the problem lies.

The third level of assessment is indeed to refine the simplest body-refining elixir, but it is also to refine an elixir with strong "universality".

Breaking the boundaries of the demon clan would allow most of the demon clan to use this type of elixir, enhance their physical refinement realm, and lay a solid foundation for pursuing the realm of true demon that countless demon clan members dream of.

This is not so simple.

The more ordinary the elixir, the more extreme it is.

"I was a little too proud of myself and underestimated the Dan World inheritance assessment."

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen put down the bamboo slips and paced slowly in the study.

He had many inspirations in his mind, but at this moment, it seemed that none of them were suitable.

Either it is too niche and only suitable for one or two races. Or it is very universal, but the medicinal effect is low and may not meet the requirements of this level of assessment. If you spend a lot of effort to refine it, but only get a poor evaluation result, it will not be worth it.

At this moment, Luo Chen sniffed lightly.

A faint smell of burning came from a distance.

He looked from afar and saw the door of the alchemy room open and a cloud of black smoke floating out.

Then, the dusty figure of Haijiao Tianmu appeared in the field of vision.

Failed again!
Luo Chen's mouth curled up slightly.

Is this the nth time the other party has failed in the past six months?
Seventy times? Eighty times? Or hundreds of times without me noticing?

How could Haijiao Tianmu not notice his gloating? Her face turned dark.

"Humph!"

Seeing that the other party was about to enter the alchemy room again, Luo Chen quickly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, one person's plan is short, but two people's plan is long. Why don't you take out the pill formula you deduced and discuss it with me?"

Haijiao Tianmu smiled wryly, "Then I have to thank you for your kindness, right?"

Luo Chen waved his hand at first. "You're not to thank me. We are like-minded people, so we should help each other!"

Then he pointed at himself with a smug look on his face, "With my attainments in alchemy that have passed two levels in a row, I think it shouldn't be a problem for me to teach you a thing or two."

Haijiao Tianmu's face darkened.

She said in a cold voice: "Hasn't anyone taught you to respect the old and love the young? Even if you don't know the etiquette, you should know the principle that the wisest should be the first! When you surpass me, you can stop me from giving orders!"

"Humph!"

After saying that, she snorted coldly and went back into the alchemy room again.

After she left, the smile on Luo Chen's face gradually faded.

pity.

I also want to see the other party’s research results so as to avoid those failure pitfalls.

However, under such verbal pressure, especially when the other party was defeated, I think it would leave a great psychological shadow in Haijiao Tianmu's heart!
Just a little impact is fine.

"Next, I should also simplify and research the most suitable basic elixir for most demons to refine their bodies."

Luo Chen waved his sleeves to brush away the pungent burnt smell in the air, then closed the door of the study.

……

"Failed again!"

"How could it fail?"

"Obviously, demons and monsters have something in common when it comes to body training, so why does my recipe keep failing?"

Inside the alchemy room, Haijiao Tianmu kept asking herself questions, with a confused look on her face.

She didn't think it was a problem with her alchemy skills.

With her strength as a master of alchemy, facing the elixir recipe she researched herself, which was still a relatively low-level basic recipe, refining it successfully was just the simplest thing.

Therefore, the problem must be in the recipe itself!

"Could it be that the power of the Shenyuan herb is too overbearing?"

Twisting a ball of black ash between her fingers, Haijiao Tianmu fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to go back to the study and take another look at the bamboo slips.

The answer must be hidden in it!

Squeak...

The door of the study was pushed open, and Haijiao Tianmu, who was full of worries, took a glance and her pupils shrank slightly.

Unlike the previous six months, this time the human cultivator named Demon Lord Qingyang no longer wandered among the bookshelves, but sat down at the desk, writing furiously.

This scene made her feel suddenly heavy.

"So fast?"

"The knowledge recorded in the bamboo slips here is not as vast as the sea of ​​​​smoke, but it is no less than a mountain of books. He only took half a year to read it all. He even... has reached the stage of writing a pill formula!"

Thinking of the strong confidence revealed in the other party's previous words, as well as his record of crushing two levels with ease, the old woman clenched her fists imperceptibly.

"I can't tell what realm this person is in, but he was neither humble nor overbearing when facing me, so I think he is also a real person."

"But his attainments in alchemy must be very profound, especially in creating alchemy formulas... Could it be that he is the ancestor of the Yuanying Upper Sect, or even a direct descendant from the Holy Land of Transformation?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it."

The old woman walked among the bookshelves, her eyes occasionally falling on the man who was writing at the desk by the window.

My thoughts are in turmoil and all sorts of distracting thoughts are flying around.

When it comes to the art of alchemy, the human race is definitely superior to the demon race.

Although she, Haijiao Tianmu, came from the Haijiao clan which was good at identifying elixirs, she was still lacking when it came to the inheritance of alchemy.

In the early years, in order to improve his alchemy skills, he hunted down a large number of immortal cultivators and obtained alchemy books. He even risked his life to go deep into the heart of the human race, participate in alchemy events, and exchange ideas with those powerful alchemists.

It is with a little bit of hard work that she has achieved what she has today.

But if she really compares herself with those holy places of the upper sects that have been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, she is ultimately far behind in terms of foundation.

If by any chance, Demon Lord Qingyang really comes from behind and breaks through the third level ahead of time, then this trip will be in vain.

Thinking of this, the old woman's expression became even gloomier.

"It's all the fault of Jiao Huang Liujun. If he was willing to give me the alchemy books he got from Yuan Mo Sect, I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now."

"It would be fine if I could inherit the alchemy this time, but if I fail, then the friendship between my Cape tribe and the Mermaid tribe will be ruined..."

As she was thinking, Haijiao Tianmu was suddenly stunned. "What's wrong with me?"

Just at this moment, she looked towards the window and saw the handsome young man looking up and looking at her quietly.

The two looked at each other, and silently looked away from each other.

Haijiao Tianmu seemed to understand something and cursed in a low voice.

"Damn it!"

……

No matter how despicable the intentions are or how despicable the means are, it will not affect one's attainments in skills.

The so-called innocent heart and sincere path, in Luo Chen's view, simply refer to the degree of commitment to a certain path and have nothing to do with good or evil.

Countless attempts, countless successes, non-stop reading, over hundreds of years, even if he did not absorb the strengths of hundreds of schools, he had laid a solid foundation for the art of alchemy.

This foundation played a vital role in the assessment of self-created pill formulas in the third level of the alchemy world!

Luo Chen spent a year and a half writing dozens of recipes for the demon clan's body-refining elixirs.

Afterwards, he noticed the demons' body refining and the changes in human's qi and blood, and the monsters' spiritual energy body tempering, which were similar and closer to the wild beasts' flesh polishing.

However, in this process, some body-refining concepts of the human and demon races were also mixed in.

Focus on the body, supplemented by Qi, and take the extreme and domineering approach!
After realizing this, everything became clear to him.

If you want to refine pills for this kind of people, you should present the medicinal power of the pills with the force of a raging torrent without being restricted by mud and sand!

Simply put, the auxiliary ingredients must be strong, and the main ingredients must be even stronger. Only in this way can the refined pills have terrifying medicinal properties.

The physique of the demons is inherently stronger than that of humans and demons, so the power of medicine they can withstand is naturally stronger.

So, just go for it!

Following this idea, Luo Chen screened out most of the pill recipes and only left nine.

Among the nine kinds of elixir recipes, skin, flesh and bones are the main focus, with blood acupoints only accounting for one or two.

Afterwards, he went to the Dan Realm to collect elixirs and brought them back to grind them.

In the process of personally handling these medicinal materials, he eliminated six recipes, leaving only three with the roughest styles.

Then the integrity is confirmed through system authentication.

At this point, everything is ready, all we have to do is start refining!

During this process, Haijiao Tianmu has been watching coldly.

She could naturally see that the medicinal herbs collected by Luo Chen were all of extremely powerful types.

As a result, she was full of doubts, but also a little disdainful.

"He doesn't distinguish between the host and the guest, and he doesn't know how to match the strong and the weak. Could it be that I overestimated him?"

In doubt, Haijiao Tianmu did not stop her hands and feet.

It took her three years to break through the barrier between immortals and mortals in the first stage, and only one year to cleanse her demon soul in the second stage. Now it took her a full three years to forge the foundation of her demon body!
It's also time to test the results.

This time, she was very sure!
The alchemy room in the third level has always been used by her, and Demon Lord Qingyang has never set foot in it.

After countless failures in the past three years, success may be just around the corner.

The old woman started making the elixir again.

Three months later.

The old woman's eyes were red as she stared at the red-hot alchemy furnace. The feeling in her heart that was about to burst out became stronger and stronger.

This time, I will definitely succeed and I will definitely pass!

And the boy who lives in a hut outside and refines pills will be left behind by her again.

"He has only been refining pills for three months, and a lot of trial and error is just the beginning. For me, the gap is too big!"

"I fell for this kid's trick before, which confused me. This time I am walking in front of him, so he should be thrown into disarray."

Thinking of this, Haijiao Tianmu showed a happy smile on her face.

However, before this smile could fully bloom, a weak voice rumbled from the air.

[Stone Skin Pill, third-grade lower-grade pill, can help low-level demons temper their skin and flesh. ]

[Thunder Bone Pill, third-grade lower grade, can help low-level demons refine bone marrow fluid. ]

[Mercury Blood Pill, third-grade lower grade, can help low-level demons refine their blood. ]

[Assessment result: Excellent, passed! ]

boom!
Inside the alchemy room, the medicine furnace exploded.

The old woman didn't bother to give up halfway. She waved her sleeves, opened the door, and rushed out.

In the sight, a bright light enveloped the Taoist priest in red robe, and the space seemed to be distorted and collapsed.

The Taoist looked at the old woman with white hair and red eyes and nodded slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, I will go ahead first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the beam of light dissipated, and the Taoist's figure completely disappeared.

Looking at this dreamlike scene, the old woman trembled all over, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"how is this possible?"

"How could he have refined the correct elixir in such a short time?"

"Level 3! With such a high level of quality, the medicinal power must be extremely terrifying. How could a low-level demon foundation-building race be able to withstand it?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The old woman's mumbling gradually became louder, as if she was shouting.

However, this time, no one responded to her.

The look Luo Chen gave her when he left was calm and peaceful, as if he didn't consider her as a rival for the inheritance of alchemy at all.

Ignoring is the greatest contempt!

Haijiao Tianmu, my mentality is a little unbalanced.

……

The sun and the moon rotate, and a new day comes.

Luo Chen absorbed the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and felt the golden elixir in his body leaping.

Sure enough, after three levels, there is still a fourth level, as if it is endless.

But he understood that the assessment of the alchemy inheritance of the generation of Lianxu Zhenjun would not be that simple.

All he has to do is to move forward step by step no matter how many levels there are ahead.

Earlier in the third level, he had shown his advantage over Haijiao Tianmu, the master of alchemy!
Relying on his many years of experience in body refining, he was able to solve problems faster, and screen pill recipes faster with the help of the system. The specific pill refining process was also faster because he used achievement points to get started. It only took him three months to get started and refine the first batch of pills.

Such a thunderous force would probably give the old woman a great shock!
However, Luo Chen could sense that the opponent was getting closer and closer to success, and his little tricks would not be able to stop the opponent for long.

Next, you have to work harder.

With a slight smile, Luo Chen's eyes suddenly fixed.

A voice came into his mind, like the sound of a huge bell, echoing endlessly.

"Devils envy the versatility of monsters, monsters admire humans' intelligence, and humans covet the purity of demons. The spirits of heaven and earth each have their own strengths. I, the alchemist, use alchemy to enter the Dao, and I should break the limitations of the three races of demons, monsters, and humans."

"Please refine the three elixirs for transforming demons, monsters, and humans."

"The recipe is as follows..."

For a moment, Luo Chen stood still on the spot, lost in thought.

This level does not test the basic understanding of alchemy, but rather tests the specific techniques of alchemy?
