Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 691: Controlling Qi like a Dragon, the Domain of Heaven and Earth

[A complete formula for the Yanfa Pill has been detected, fifth level.]

【Are you ready to start? 】

The bright entries float quietly on the panel.

After confirming that the pill recipe was genuine, Luo Chen's ecstasy gradually subsided.

He began to think.

Before coming to the Land of Fallen Demons, I had accumulated a total of 334 achievement points over the years.

Without the black chess piece of Lan Ke, his own spiritual foundation was a little insufficient. In order to prevent powerful beings like Jiao Huang Liu Jun from attacking him with enchanting sounds or even phantom magic, he spent 34 achievement points and forcibly learned a fourth-level spell passed down to him by Han Zhan - Kai Mao Shu.

In the third level of the alchemy world, he wanted to use his super fast alchemy speed to disturb the mind of his competitor, Haijiao Tianmu, so he used another thirty achievement points to learn three types of demon body-refining elixirs. This was actually a bit of a waste. With his ability, he could have refined the third-level elixir normally with a little time.

The fourth level, three kinds of transformation pills, in addition to the human transformation pill, he used up 20 achievement points to enter the magic transformation pill and the demon transformation pill. This is not a waste. With his own level, it would take him several years to enter a pill formula for the fourth-level pill. For example, after getting Han Zhan's original version, Luo Chen spent decades trying to figure it out, but he was still a little unsure.

At this point, there are exactly 250 achievement points left on the panel.

What an idiot!

Originally, Luo Chen was a little worried whether the achievement points he had accumulated would be enough.

But after entering the fifth level, he had already sensed that this would be the last level of the inheritance assessment.

The test topic is to refine a fifth-level derivative magic pill.

It was not uncommon for Luo Chen to refine elixirs across great realms; he often did so.

During the Qi Refining Stage, the second-level Emperor Fluid is refined; during the Foundation Establishment Stage, the third-level Nether Yuan Pill is refined; during the Golden Core Stage, the fourth-level Black Emperor Ointment, Purple Qi Anti-Poison Pill, and even Transformation Pill are refined.

Only this time, it is even more prominent.

This is because, he is a fourth-level alchemist, but his own realm is the Golden Core Stage, and the Yanfa Pill he wants to refine is of the fifth level.

In this case, should it be considered as crossing one major realm or crossing two major realms?
This made Luo Chen a little confused.

If it is to cross a major realm, then it is not difficult to say. According to the plug-in rules explored in the early years, the achievement points usually consumed are between ten and one hundred.

But if it spans two major realms, it will be difficult.

One hundred to one thousand?
In this case, are two hundred and fifty achievement points enough?

Looking at the entries on the attribute panel, Luo Chen pondered for a while but still couldn't make up his mind.

“Don’t act rashly!”

In the end, Luo Chen suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

Although the pill recipe is good, it still needs to be actually refined.

The attribute panel is his biggest plug-in. Even though his own alchemy level is not as good as Haijiao Tianmu's, he can still leave her far behind. He relies on achievement points to force his way in, saving a lot of unnecessary trial and error time.

If the achievement points you invest in it are still not enough to get started, then it would be a waste of time.

Therefore, Luo Chen did not plan to get started directly, but to study the pill recipe thoroughly first!

The rules for panel usage that he figured out were not just superficial.

For some spells, if the prerequisites are met, a large number of achievement points can be saved by forcibly skipping levels. For example, the Kaimao spell he used not long ago, a fourth-level spell, did not cost him a hundred achievement points.

Another example is high-level elixirs. The deeper the understanding of the elixir formula, the higher the level of one's own alchemy skills. Forcing a higher level to enter the level will also save a lot of achievement points. For a specific example, you can refer to the entry of Emperor Liujiang during the Qi Refining Stage.

"Let's take it one step at a time!"

Luo Chen stood up and left the dark little room.

……

"The so-called Qi control technique is a method of distinguishing, controlling, and attracting external spiritual energy."

"This technique is more like magic than alchemy, but it is gentler when it comes to alchemy."

In the Dan world, on top of a peak.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, letting the strong wind hit his face and his Taoist robe rustle.

His eyes were clear and his fingertips were constantly making hand seals.

Overall, it seems a bit sluggish.

Time, more than half a year has passed since he reached the fifth level.

During the past six months, he devoted himself to studying the recipe of Yanfa Pill and even made two copies, one engraved on a jade slip with his spiritual consciousness, and the other written on a bamboo slip with pen and ink.

The former is for saving, and the latter is for convenient viewing at any time.

However, the research progress on this recipe is extremely slow.

Under normal circumstances, fifth-level elixirs can only be refined by fifth-level alchemists, but some powerful fourth-level alchemists can also refine them.

If we use the realm to correspond, then it is the difference between the Spirit Transformation Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage.

As a result, the refining of this pill recipe involves many more innate conditions that appear simple but are actually insurmountable for Jindan cultivators!
how to say?

Just like the third-level elixir, it often requires the cultivator's true fire to help at the critical moment, but the true fire can only be activated by the foundation-building stage and above. Can a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage do it? He can't do it!
The fifth-level elixir also has many similar restrictions.

Without knowing the details, Luo Chen had to separate them for research.

From the pharmacology of each medicinal ingredient, to the specific alchemy methods, the most complicated alchemy techniques, etc., it is broken down bit by bit.

Finally, he suddenly discovered that the first three levels had given him great help at this moment.

The main and auxiliary materials needed for the Yanfa Pill were all recorded on the bamboo slips in the study in the previous three levels. It was not difficult for him to understand them now.

As for the art of alchemy, he also discovered that he had already learned it in the first three levels.

In addition to the most basic Su Xin Hand and Zhai Xing Hand, the most important thing to master right now is the Qi Control Technique!
"If I were at the Nascent Soul stage, this technique would be a piece of cake for me."

"But unfortunately, I am only at the Jindan stage."

After failing to control his Qi again, Luo Chen showed a bitter smile on his face.

The art of controlling Qi is not difficult, but it is only for Yuanying Zhenren.

Because a Yuanying Zhenren can control the true Yuanying realm and distinguish the properties of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that is free in the natural space.

Even though they can only control the system they are best at, they can also calmly activate the spiritual energy of other attributes without fighting.

Han Zhan had told him about the specific operation before. It was nothing more than a trick to use the opponent's force to counter him.

But the Jindan cultivator's understanding of heaven and earth is too superficial.

In such a chaos, how can one distinguish the difference between the attributes?
"Just take it easy. Once you get started, everything will be fine!"

Despite his bitter smile, Luo Chen still had some confidence.

This is the function of the proficiency panel. You are not afraid of not being able to reach a high level of cultivation, but you are afraid of being blocked outside the threshold.

And now, Luo Chen has vaguely found the key to getting started.

Magical power is flowing in his body, his eyes are clear, and his spiritual consciousness is emanating.

Not only that, the Senluo Hell of Fire expanded directly.

Faintly, there seemed to be a warm spiritual energy echoing between heaven and earth!
a few days later.

Luo Chen paused with the spiritual spell in his hand, and a wisp of spiritual energy was drawn from the void!

Luo Chen's eyes fixed on the wisp of spiritual energy circling around his fingertips, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

The properties panel expands.

In the alchemy column, [Introduction to Qi Control 1/100] was flashing faintly.

"It's done!"

Luo Chen felt relieved and let out a breath.

Next, practice like crazy every day to improve your proficiency.

According to his estimation, one must at least be at the perfect level to barely cope with the refining of the Yanfa Pill. It would be even better if one could reach the grandmaster level.

The Grandmaster level on the panel is equal to the great success standard in the outside world, and is the limit for an ordinary alchemist in his lifetime.

Luo Chen stood up, went down from the top of the mountain, and headed towards the stone house at the fifth level.

After a while, he pushed open the door of the pharmacy.

Everywhere you look, you can see various medicinal herbs emitting powerful spiritual energy, arranged on wooden shelves in different categories.

Some are covered by a magic shield, while others are hidden in a jade box or a golden cauldron.

This is the most satisfying test among the five levels in the Dan Realm Assessment.

Luo Chen doesn't need to spend energy collecting medicinal herbs, as they have already been prepared in advance!

In this regard, Luo Chen estimated that the previous few levels had already tested the alchemist's ability to identify and process medicinal materials, and this step was directly skipped in the fifth level.

However, even so, Luo Chen did not take it lightly.

He waved his hand, the lid of the cauldron flew up, and a fist-sized red fruit slowly flew out.

Looking at the red fruit, Luo Chen's eyes were filled with fascination.

The fifth-level elixir, Yaochen Zhuguo!
This was a kind of spiritual medicine that he had never heard of before entering the Land of Fallen Demons. It was only when he read the bamboo slips in the Dan Realm that he recognized its name.

It grows at the end of the Purple Palace of the Jade Pool. It has an invisible form but has a visible form. It will only condense into a solid form after being picked. And when picking it, it needs to be combined with the corresponding alchemy technique, otherwise all you get is a ball of mist.

It can be taken raw to strengthen the soul!
And if it is used as medicine... its power is even more mysterious.

A specific example is the Yanfa Pill!
This is also the reason why Luo Chen is so obsessed with this fruit.

Because it is the only main ingredient of Yanfa Pill!

According to the records on the bamboo slips, the Yaochen Red Fruit grows in four stages, with a maturity period of three thousand years, one stage for each stage, for a total of three stages.

When it reaches its peak, it is as high as the seventh level!
The Yaochen Zhu fruit in this golden cauldron is exactly the fifth level of the first maturity stage.

Before Demon Lord Liantian, no one knew how to use the Yaochen Zhu Fruit, and they all took it raw to strengthen their souls.

It was only after the refining of Demon Lord Tian that the recipe for refining the medicine and creating the Yanfa Divine Pill was created.

The talent of a true master can be seen just through a pill recipe!
"If I don't make the elixir and just eat it, I wonder if it can strengthen my soul?"

For some reason, Luo Chen had this thought.

But in the end, he gave up the idea.

Everything in the Dan world gave Luo Chen the illusion that it was a dream.

The medicinal herbs all over the mountains cannot be taken away.

The vast sea of ​​bamboo slips cannot be taken away.

Only finished elixirs can be put into the storage ring.

He didn't know whether the effect of the Yaochen Zhu Fruit would remain after he took it raw and passed the next stage.

Moreover, the number of Yaochen Zhuguo in the golden cauldron is limited, and he must take into account the consumables of the Yanfa Pill.

"Study it carefully!"

……

Time passed slowly as Luo Chen studied elixir recipes, practiced alchemy, and familiarized himself with medicinal materials.

A year has passed in a flash!

On this day, Luo Chen, standing on the top of the mountain, clasped his hands together and made hand seals. Huge streams of air like dragons roared towards him from all directions.

Suddenly.

He turned his seal, and many air currents began to disperse, gradually revealing various colors of spiritual light.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen's eyes showed surprise.

Control the energy like a dragon, everything is natural!
In one year, the art of controlling Qi has been perfected and reached the grandmaster level!
This was something he had not expected at the beginning.

It took half a year to get started.

But after getting started, if you understand one method, you will understand all methods!
He used the Senluo Fire Prison as a guide to control the fire-attributed spiritual energy between heaven and earth. This was the first stage.

In the second stage, he tried to transform the spiritual energy, using the essence of the five elements golden elixir to attract the five elements spiritual energy.

Finally, he remembered his signature spell, the ultimate Qingyang Handprint!

This technique was not originally a fire-attributed spell, but a handprint of the innate energy of the five elements!

Therefore, Luo Chen returned to his original heart, went against the flow of Qingyang Great Handprint, and performed the other four series of Innate Qi Great Handprints, in order to cooperate with the Qi Control Technique to attract the other four attributes of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

After three stages, Luo Chen's proficiency in Qi Control reached a perfect level.

Then, through continuous practice, he accumulated proficiency step by step and finally crossed the threshold of the grandmaster level.

After reaching this stage, Luo Chen could even feel that when he activated this alchemy technique, he could attract spiritual energy of other attributes between heaven and earth besides the five elements.

Wind, thunder, ice, light, dark...

At this moment, Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the green rock at the top of the mountain, slowly closed his eyes, and seemed to have realized something.

Three days later, Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

He first pointed a finger at his chest, and the golden elixir in his body trembled, and the Senluo Hell of Fire instantly unfolded.

Then, he made a seal with his left hand and performed the Qi Control Technique.

In the void, a large amount of fire-attributed spiritual energy surged and was injected into the Senluo Hell of Fire.

In an instant, Luo Chen felt as if he was in control of the world and he was the only one in power!
But in just a moment, the Senluo Hell of Fire collapsed.

"Humph……"

Luo Chen groaned and his face looked a little pale.

The unrefined spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed a bit forced to be integrated into the Senluo Inferno Prison.

but!

He really captured that feeling.

That is the genuine Nascent Soul realm!
Under the pale face, there was a gleam in the eyes.

"I never thought that practicing alchemy could actually achieve the effect of using other people's wisdom to improve my pseudo-domain!"

"Just this one gain is worth my trip to the Land of Fallen Demons!"

Luo Chen knew very well that if he persisted in practicing the feeling he had grasped, he would have a great chance of mastering the true realm of heaven and earth.

In other words, it means to master the so-called Nascent Soul realm in the Golden Core stage.

Such an achievement is truly astonishing in this vast world of immortal cultivation.

However, now is not the time to study this technique in depth.

He has more important things to do.

Properties panel, expand it again.

The complete recipe of [Yanfa Pill] appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

He has done the best he can.

Even if there is room for improvement in some areas, the progress is unlikely to be that great.

He wasn't sure when the Land of Fallen Demons would be closed.

From behind, Haijiao Tianmu was chasing hard.

Therefore, regardless of success or failure, he had to force himself to take that step.

[A complete formula for the Yanfa Pill has been detected, fifth level.]

【Are you ready to start? 】

Luo Chen took a deep breath and silently recited the word "entry".

The next moment, the achievement points on the panel were seen disappearing rapidly.

250, 240...180, 170...

There has never been a moment when achievement points are consumed so quickly.

There has never been a moment when Luo Chen's heart felt so uneasy.

His mind was fixed on the panel, and when the number of achievement points dropped to [160], his breathing almost stopped.

next moment.

【150】

Cardiac arrest!

After a breath, the heart started beating again.

Luo Chen opened his mouth wide and finally let out a silent laugh.

There was no further decline, and the number of achievement points remained at [150].

In other words, it takes exactly one hundred achievement points to learn this recipe.

Logically, he should feel sorry.

One hundred achievement points meant that the fifth-level elixir corresponded to his fourth-level alchemist level, just one level higher, and still within the range of one hundred achievement points. In other words, even if he didn't do those things to study the elixir formula and practice the alchemy technique before, he could get started directly.

All those things were in vain.

but!
“It’s good to get started.”

Luo Chen smiled slightly and walked down the mountain leisurely.

He returned to the stone house and sat in meditation for three days, bathing, changing clothes, and burning incense to calm his mind.

Three days later, Luo Chen left the stone house with a large pile of medicinal herbs.

He found a mountain top that was rich in spiritual energy and at least four levels high. He opened his mouth and spit out the Hunyuan Ding.

Everything is ready. Success or failure depends on the result of the next alchemy.

Luo Chen, dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, snapped his fingers and the withered and flourishing true fire fell under the Hunyuan Ding, and the flames suddenly surged!
