Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 695: Nine Refining Flames, Nirvana Holy Fire
The abrupt voice and familiar accent instantly brought Luo Chen's ecstatic mood to a halt.

He originally thought that the sound in the fifth level of the Dan Realm was left by the person who set up the formation. But now, someone made this sound again, which undoubtedly showed that it was indeed a real person!

He looked around warily and blurted out, "Who?"

The hall was empty and silent.

In the end, Luo Chen's attention was focused on the black cauldron.

"It's you?"

"it's me."

The weak voice from the black cauldron came out again. He seemed to be gathering his remaining strength and said with difficulty: "Inheritor, tell me your name."

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally gave his real name sincerely.

"Luo Chen!"

When he said this, he already understood the other party's identity.

Obviously, this is the so-called spirit of the weapon!

According to legend, a true spirit can only be born from a spiritual treasure.

Such beings possess the power to destroy the heavens and the earth and overturn the rivers and seas, which are absolutely incomparable to those pseudo-spirits possessed by magical weapons.

It was only after figuring this out that Luo Chen became more certain that the black tripod in front of him was a real spiritual treasure!
After learning Luo Chen's name, the Black Cauldron Spirit was silent for a while, then slowly asked:
"Are you ready to truly accept the master's inheritance?"

Luo Chen was stunned. After passing the assessment, didn’t he already accept the other party’s inheritance?

There are seventy-two volumes of elixir books and thirty-six elixir recipes.

There are also three elixir recipes that can lead directly to the great way: calming the mind, understanding the void, and uniting the Dao.

Could it be that……

Luo Chen asked tentatively: "Are there any other inheritances?"

His eyes wandered on the black tripod.

as predicted.

The spirit of the black cauldron slowly said: "The treasure of inheritance is my Liantian Cauldron and the things inside the cauldron. If you are ready, I will use my remaining strength to help you accept the true inheritance."

Refining the Heavenly Cauldron?
What’s inside the tripod?

Suddenly, Luo Chen's heart became hot.

Without hesitation, he asked, "What does it mean to be ready?"

"Agree to two conditions."

"What conditions?"

"When he has achieved success in his cultivation, he will take care of the master's clansmen and fulfill a promise that the master owed before his death. He will personally refine pills for a certain being."

Take care of the clan?
Make a pill?

Luo Chen frowned tightly.

It is not surprising that they are looking after the clansmen of Lord Liantian Demon. After their death, there will always be someone who cares about them.

But the one who made elixirs for others was a little surprised.

With Lord Liantian's ability in alchemy, if he wanted to make pills for others, he could just do it himself. Why would he need the successor to do it for him?
the most important is……

"What does it mean to have achieved success in cultivation?"

"According to your heart."

Faced with this answer, Luo Chen was speechless.

Whether it is doing something knowing it is impossible, or doing it within one's ability, or having some strength left over, the realm of strength corresponding to these situations are completely different.

But the spirit of the black cauldron only used four words to throw the problem onto Luo Chen.

But follow your heart?

He took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Where are the Zhenjun people now? What's their situation? Are there any internal or external troubles?"

Faced with this series of questions, the Black Cauldron Spirit replied weakly: "I don't know."

Luo Chen frowned and asked again: "Is that promise mandatory? And who are you refining pills for? How can I contact the other party? In other words, how can the other party believe that I am the descendant of the True Lord Alchemy Dao?"

This time, the spirit of the black cauldron gave the answer.

"That promise was made by the master before he died. He originally intended to fulfill it after he was promoted to the Fusion Stage, but it was too late. The one who made the promise was Yao Chi Shangnu. When we meet one day, she will understand."

Yao Chi Merchant Girl... Luo Chen wrote down the name.

Then, Luo Chen asked again.

"If you don't agree to these two conditions, can you accept the real inherited spiritual treasure?"

The Black Cauldron Spirit: “No.”

Luo Chen frowned slightly, "Then what about the pill book and pill recipe I got before, and even the series of pills refined in the pill world?"

The spirit of the black cauldron: "You can take it away. It is a blessing for those who pass the test. It has always been there."

Luo Chen thought about it and suddenly asked another question: "Do those who pass the assessment in other inheritance places also have to face these two conditions?"

The Black Cauldron Spirit: “I don’t know.”

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

It shouldn't be the case. At least in terms of refining pills for others, other inheritors don't meet the requirements.

What about the people of the Zhaofu Liantian tribe?

Why is this condition placed in the inheritance of Dandao? Is there something special about this inheritance?

While he was thinking, the spirit of the weapon did not urge him, but waited quietly for his consideration.

After a long time, Luo Chen raised his head and asked another question.

"What is inside the Liantian Cauldron?"

But this time, the spirit of the black cauldron was different from before and gave another answer.

"Only if you accept the inheritance, I will tell you what is inside."

It knows, but it doesn't say.

Is that so?
Luo Chen murmured something, and then his expression gradually became firm.

The things that could allow Lord Liantian to stay inside must be extremely precious.

Even without those things, just the Liantian Ding, a magical treasure that gave birth to a spirit, was enough to make him impulsive.

What's more!

After working hard to pass the five levels of the Dan Realm assessment, these things should belong to him!
Luo Chen no longer hesitated and immediately agreed to the two conditions in front of the black cauldron spirit.

At this point, the scene in the hall suddenly changed.

A golden light curtain slowly rose from the cauldron, with tadpole-like words swimming on it.

Luo Chen looked at the words that he didn't recognize at all, with a confused look on his face.

At the same time, the voice of the black cauldron spirit came from afar.

"In his lifetime, the master refined a total of thirteen spiritual treasures, each of which contained mighty powers that could reach the heavens and penetrate the earth."

"Of the thirteen spiritual treasures, one was given to Yao Chi Shang Nu, one fell into the hands of Tian Yuan Da Zun, and one remained in our clan. Of the remaining ten, five were destroyed by Qi Xia Yuan Jun, leaving only five in Ming Zhao Tian. They are Lian Tian Ding, Black Magic Pot, True Yang Crown, Divine Brush, and Ten Thousand Beasts Picture."

"Among these five spiritual treasures, only the Heaven Refining Cauldron, the Black Demon Pot, and the True Yang Crown are superior to the other spiritual treasures. They are the spiritual treasures that transcend the other spiritual treasures. They are also the essence of the master's lifelong practice."

"For low-level cultivators like you, if you want to use this kind of treasure as you wish, you must first practice the Tongbao Jue."

"Normally, you would need to spend dozens or even hundreds of years to fully master the Tongbao Jue. But this time, with the help of my spirit, the time can be greatly shortened. At least it won't be a problem for it to recognize its master."

"As for the rest, I can't do anything about it. It all depends on your luck..."

As he spoke, the golden tadpoles in the light curtain swam towards Luo Chen.

Tadpole-like fonts disappeared into Luo Chen's mind.

Even if you don't know the words, you can still be familiar with their meanings.

"Focus your mind and don't have any distracting thoughts!"

When helping Luo Chen practice the Tongbao Jue, the black cauldron spirit gave him a reminder, clearly sensing the shock in Luo Chen's mind at the moment.

It only thought that Luo Chen was shocked by the ability of Lord Liantian Demon and the high grade of his spiritual treasure, so it gave him a special warning and reminder.

Little did he know that at this moment Luo Chen's heart was filled with shocking waves.

Probably because a person's name was mentioned in those words.

Qixia Yuanjun!

If he remembered correctly, there were three temples standing in Cangwu Mountain, the holy land of the Feather Clan in the East Wilderness, namely Duzhen, Zhukong and Tongxuan!

Duzhen is without a master, and Youquan is temporarily the deputy master.

The daytime sky has a master, and that is the Green Frost Demon King.

And the master of Tongxuan Palace is also the most mysterious existence.

Even when the Mingyuan faction's powerful gods attacked Cangwu Mountain, he did not take any action.

Luo Chen didn't know the name of this person, but he knew his Taoist name, which was Qixia Yuanjun! Was it the same name or a coincidence, or were they the same person?
But Qixia Yuanjun of the Mountain and Sea Realm has only reached the highest realm of the Spirit Transformation Realm. How can he fight against Liantian Demon Lord?
You know, according to Tai Sui, Demon Lord Liantian is known as the best cultivator of the ages!
During the nearly twenty years in the Fallen Demon Land, Luo Chen also got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the power of the Demon Lord Liantian through countless details. It was unimaginably powerful.

And Qixia Yuanjun actually fought with such a being?
It is even said that Qixia Yuanjun destroyed the five spiritual treasures of Liantian Demon Lord!
Luo Chen was unwilling to believe this speculation.

That meant the disillusionment of the powerful Demon Lord Liantian, and also meant the expansion of the shadow of the Yuan Lord Qixia in his heart.

Many distracting thoughts came one after another.

If it weren't for the black cauldron spirit's repeated scolding, Luo Chen almost wanted to find out the truth.

However, facing a critical moment, Luo Chen finally suppressed his emotions, forced himself to calm down, and silently memorized the so-called Tongbao Jue.

Later on, he even with the help of the black cauldron spirit, cast a series of spells at the Liantian Cauldron.

As the spells were sank into the black cauldron, Luo Chen's mind seemed to be drawn into it as well.

In a trance.

He saw the things left behind by the Demon Lord Liantian inside.

It was a gray light, floating in the depths of the cauldron. No one knew its power or ability. Inexplicably, Luo Chen's mind seemed to be devoured and refined by it.

In addition, there are two other objects occupying the center of the black tripod, standing opposite each other and competing with each other.

Those were two flames.

One is nine-color, the other is golden!
Under these two flames, Luo Chen's previously extremely proud withered and flourishing true fire trembled like an ant. It was not the difference in strength, but the suppression of the essential grade.

Especially the latter, which gave Luo Chen a sense of familiarity.

It seems like I've seen it somewhere before?
"Are these three the things that the True Lord left for me?"

People in the world call the owner of the weapon spirit "Liantian Demon Lord", which is his Taoist name.

However, Luo Chen and Tai Sui did not dare to call him by this "honorific title" directly, and often referred to him as Zhenjun.

Just as Jindan cultivators are revered as superiors and Yuanying cultivators are revered as true people, Lianxu cultivators are often revered as "True Lords" in ancient books.

The spirit of the weapon quickly gave an answer to his question.

"Yes, that's right. This is the true inheritance obtained after passing the Dan Dao test."

"The two flames are the original true fire left by the master, which is called the Nine Refining Beacon Fire. And the original true fire of Qixia Yuanjun, which is called the Nirvana Holy Fire."

"In that battle, the master intercepted a strand of Qixia Yuanjun's true fire, trapped it in my body, and consumed it with the Nine Refining Beacon Fire."

"After many years, as its master passed away, the Nine Refinements Beacon Fire no longer has any will, and the Nirvana Holy Fire is also ownerless. Both of them only have some instincts left."

"You should refine the Liantian Ding first. Once you have complete control over it, you can use it to try to subdue these two high-level flames, allowing you to go further on the path of alchemy."

Luo Chen pursed his lips.

No change in expression.

When he heard the name "Nirvana Holy Fire", his mind was a little disturbed, but he quickly suppressed it.

Maybe it was because I was too shocked before, but now I am used to it.

In other words, he has completely understood that Demon Lord Liantian and Qixia Yuanjun of Cangwu Mountain are indeed closely connected.

Because he had really seen the Holy Fire of Nirvana in Cangwu Mountain!
Although the power of the Nirvana Holy Fire that time was stronger than the one here, in terms of quality, there is a huge difference.

The ones here are even more pure and profound!

Suddenly, Luo Chen seemed to remember something and asked, "What about you? You always say later, later, you won't help me in the future?"

Once the Liantian Ding recognizes its master, the spirit of the weapon should also be controlled by Luo Chen.

Thinking of the extremely weak voice of the weapon spirit before, a bad premonition emerged in Luo Chen's mind.

Sure enough, bad news came.

The spirit of the weapon said sadly: "Your consciousness is wandering in the Liantian Cauldron. Can't you see those injuries?"

Luo Chen opened his mouth. He saw it, but subconsciously chose to ignore it.

"For thousands of years, the Nine Refinements Beacon Fire and the Nirvana Holy Fire have been fighting endlessly in my body. Their power has been madly wasted, and my body is also full of holes. In particular, most of my power has been used to seal that gray light, and I am even more powerless to stop all this."

"After you have completed the Tongbao Jue, I will disperse my spirituality and use the part of the Dao refining principles I have comprehended to perfect the seal that the master has left on the gray light."

"From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself."

"Don't worry about the Liantian Ding. Its rank is still there. Although it is riddled with holes, it can be nurtured for thousands of years. There is also a chance that it will give birth to a spirit again and return to being a Tongtian Lingbao."

When it said this, there was an undisguised sadness in its tone.

Thousands of years later, is the spirit of the Liantian Ding still the same one that was reborn?
I’m afraid that things have changed.

"What is that gray light?" Luo Chen asked in a deep voice. He just took a quick glance and didn't dare to look at it any longer.

"Don't ask, and don't think about it. When you reach the realm of refining emptiness, you will understand everything."

The spirit of the weapon left these words.

Then the voice gradually became weaker.

It seems that it has reached its end.

The black tripod standing quietly in the hall was shaking slightly, as if expressing some kind of reluctance.

Luo Chen pursed his lips, realizing that the other party had already sacrificed himself and was throwing himself into the gray light.

He pinched his spiritual fingers and continuously used the Tongbao Jue on the Liantian Ding.

With the experience of the weapon spirit taking him to travel around the Liantian Cauldron before, this first step of refining and recognizing the master went extremely smoothly.

If nothing unexpected happens, it won’t take long before he obtains this so-called Tongtian magic treasure that transcends ordinary magic treasures!

Even if it is a crippled body, it will definitely be the most precious treasure in the world of mountains and seas!
Time passes slowly.

Unconsciously, more than a month has passed.

Luo Chen practiced the Tongbao Jue on the Liantian Ding at least a hundred times, and he seemed to be able to completely control it.

This day.

Luo Chen stopped and began to meditate and practice Qigong to restore his magic power.

Suddenly, his eyebrows moved and he subconsciously looked at the black cauldron.

A ray of golden light peeked out from the cauldron.

"Nirvana Holy Fire?"

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, his face changed drastically!
The golden flame was actually rushing straight towards him!
How dare Luo Chen let himself be contaminated by this thing?

The horror in my memory has never been forgotten.

Subconsciously raise the magic shield, and then perform other actions.

But the golden flame was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it flew in front of him at lightning speed, even ignoring the magic shield on Luo Chen's body and directly penetrated into his body.

Luo Chen was stunned.

Why do I feel like a wanderer returning home?
Subconsciously, he thought of his previous actions.

In order to maintain sufficient mana, he started to practice his innate skills... "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" and the Nirvana Holy Fire?

Before this thought could fully emerge, a sharp scream suddenly erupted in the hall.

Along with the scream, a ball of nine-colored flames rose from the broken Liantian Cauldron.

It set its sights on Luo Chen.

In other words, he was eyeing the Holy Fire of Nirvana in Luo Chen's body!

Then, nine-colored flames broke out of the cauldron.

"Again!"

Luo Chen was horrified.

Even though he retreated frantically, he had no time to avoid it and could only watch as the nine-colored flames penetrated into his body.

A thought emerged in Luo Chen's mind.

"The battle between Jiulian and Nirvana has not yet ended?"

Just as he thought, the moment the Nine Refining Beacon Fire entered Luo Chen's body, it was noticed by the Holy Fire of Nirvana, which directly mobilized Luo Chen's magic power to strengthen itself. Even the True Fire of Withering and Flourishing was integrated into the Holy Fire of Nirvana in the silent wailing, making its power even more intense.

A battle that goes straight to the white-hot stage from the initial contact.

The battlefield continues to expand.

Blood, flesh, bones, five internal organs, meridians, acupoints, and even the qi sea!

In an instant, two violent forces exploded inside Luo Chen's body.

Flames burst out from his pores, turning him into a man of fire.

An extreme aura of destruction emerged from Luo Chen.

Pain, distortion, anger...all kinds of expressions appeared on Luo Chen's face.

"They are using my body as a battlefield!"
