Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 698 His Legacy
Mountains collapsed and rivers changed their course.

On the ground, there is a pile of ruins and a towering stone pillar standing abruptly. The intricate and exquisite patterns on it seem to be telling the past glory of this land.

Three figures flashed across the sky.

They were three monks wearing the same standard disciple uniform, and their realm was only the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But the black horses they rode had a strange aura and looked like they were not easy to mess with.

The three of them seemed to have long been accustomed to the scene below and did not stop at all.

After a while, the three of them rode on black horses and flew to the outside of a towering mountain.

Faintly, one can see tall and short buildings standing everywhere in the mountains, as well as the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth around them.

The leader of the three snorted coldly when he saw this scene.

"A small clan that moved from a remote area is actually worthy of owning such a high-quality spiritual vein in my Five Elements Domain. I wonder what the people above are thinking."

When the people around heard this, they all echoed it.

However, among those who agree, there are also different opinions.

"Although it is a small and declining sect, it also has its own unique features. The great elder of Luotian Sect, Zhan Mo Wangyuan, has an outstanding body refining technique!"

"Yes! I heard that there were 27 well-known large sects on the front line in the East Wilderness Monster War. When the monster war broke out, except for our Five Elements Divine Sect and other Yuanying upper sects, most of them were buried in the first wave of monsters. Only a few Jindan sects escaped. And this Luotian Sect is one of them. Zhan Mowangyuan was the first hero to save the sect! It is said that in that battle, the sky collapsed and the earth split, the rivers stopped flowing, and there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. I don’t know how many people with profound Taoism died in it..."

Hearing his fellow apprentices talking about the past, Ran Feng, who was in the late stage of foundation building, narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Demon King Yuan is indeed a top figure.

Even when spoken by elders in the sect, we must show respect.

But there is only this one person in Luoyun Sect.

The rest are nothing to be afraid of!

"Let's go into the mountains and pass on the instructions. We will have completed our mission."

As soon as he finished speaking, he drove the black horse straight into Luotian Sect.

The disciples on duty at Luotian Sect had already noticed the sudden arrival of the three people.

Seeing their movements, he hurried over to them.

"Please dismount and report..."

Before he finished speaking, Ran Feng raised his hand and threw out a token, without paying attention to the other party's reaction, and rushed into the mountains.

"They are from the Five Elements Divine Sect!"

“That’s the hissing wind beast. The one coming is the famous Ran Feng among the Five Elements Divine Sect’s foundation-building disciples!”

The Luo Tianzong disciples' expressions changed slightly, and they quickly chased after him.

Even if you are from the Nascent Soul Sect, you can't be so rude!
Seven or eight disciples hurried forward and finally stopped on a mountain path halfway up the mountain.

Because someone stopped Ran Feng and the other two.

He was a strong middle-aged man with metal wings on his back and a huge broadsword in his hand.

On the ground, there was a long gully running between the two sides, like a natural moat.

Boom!
The broadsword was propped on the ground, and the sturdy man had a murderous look on his face: "This is Luotian Sect! This is not a place for you to act wildly. Even if your noble sect master Linmu came in person, he would still be polite and courteous. You are too presumptuous."

Ran Feng put away his contemptuous look and looked at the other party with a slightly serious look.

"Who are you?"

The sturdy middle-aged man said in a cold voice: "I will not change my name, Zeng Yilong!"

When this name came out, Ran Feng frowned slightly, as he didn't remember anyone like this!
But the opponent had just forced back their three hissing wind beasts and intercepted them with unparalleled strength, so he definitely should not be an unknown person.

The junior fellow behind him had been traveling outside for many years and was familiar with the people in the world of immortal cultivation. He immediately explained to his senior brother who seldom went out, "His name is Sha Longzi, and he is the only disciple taught by Zhan Mo Wangyuan. He is extremely powerful and is also known as the best person under the Golden Core level of Luo Tian Sect."

When the three words "Sha Longzi" came out, Ran Feng raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, so you are the warmonger that Senior Sister Qi always talks about!"

"Friend Qi?" Zeng Yilong's expression relaxed slightly when he heard the familiar name. He nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, then it's me she's talking about."

"I heard that in the battle at the border town that year, you cooperated with Senior Sister Qi to kill the third-level Fire Eye Ferocious Bull King, which established Senior Sister Qi's status as one of the nine great Dao species in our sect. Now I see that you are indeed quite charming..."

During this question and answer period, the atmosphere between the two sides eased slightly.

Zeng Yilong winked at the Luotian Sect disciples who had rushed over, and they immediately understood and bypassed both sides to go to the sect's important area.

The two parties were the only ones left talking in that weird atmosphere.

After a while, Zeng Yilong's expression changed slightly and he made way.

"Please, our sect leader is waiting for you!"

Ran Feng nodded and took a serious look at Zeng Yilong before leaving.

He knew there was a person named Sha Longzi, but he didn't know that he was from Luotian Sect.

Now it seems that the Luotian Sect is not completely useless!

After getting off the hissing wind beast, Ran Feng walked neither fast nor slow, and his original contemptuous attitude was put away.

His eyes would occasionally roam around the surroundings.

"This formation... has some merits. Although it is not as good as my Divine Sect's formation, if I had rushed in without caring, I would have died or been skinned alive."

"Is the back mountain the place where the Luotian Sect's masters go into seclusion?"

"With my spiritual sense, I actually feel a bit depressed, being so far away... No wonder my master told me not to underestimate the people of the world. These cultivators who fought their way out of the Eastern Wilderness Demon War are indeed not comparable to those brothers in the sect who can only talk big."

With his heart churning, Ran Feng felt a little more respect for Luo Tianzong, a small sect that had moved from a remote place, but there was more pity in his eyes.

After I pass on the order from above, it may not take long for the Luotian Sect to fall.

After a while, he saw the figure of a graceful woman standing in front of a brand new hall.

When the woman saw Ran Feng, she bowed gracefully.

"Luotian Sect's head Yao Mingyue respectfully welcomes the Divine Sect's envoy."

Compared with the powerful Sha Longzi, the attitude of the Luotian Sect's leader is much more humble.

After what happened before, Ran Feng did not take advantage of the situation.

Take the token that the other party had thrown out to prove his identity.

"My name is Ran Feng, and I am a disciple of Master Yan Yun from the Divine Fire Peak, and my master is Master Divine Fire!"

Divine Fire Peak?
Upon hearing the other party's background, Yao Mingyue's heart skipped a beat.

In the Five Elements Divine Sect, Mingjian Peak and Zhimu Peak were the most friendly to them, and it was Mingjian Peak that originally gave them this place to stay.

And the most unfriendly one is clearly the Divine Fire Peak.

Usually, it is the people from Mingjian Peak and Zhimu Peak who contact them.

This time, the people who came to deliver the letter were from Shenhuo Peak. Could something go wrong?

……

In a cave in the back mountain.

Yao Mingyue stood respectfully in front of a young woman in red who looked younger than her.

"Master, this is what the Five Elements Divine Sect means."

The young woman in red turned around with a serious expression.

"Let our Luotian Sect take the lead and unite with the seven major Jindan sects to take back the Santu River?"

Yao Mingyue bit her lip tightly. "There are a large number of second-level monsters lurking in the Santu River, and there are even more than a dozen third-level monster kings. The most important thing is that there are several fallen immortal cities nearby. Once the war starts, the monster kings stationed in those immortal cities will come out in droves, and we will be attacked from both sides, which is almost tantamount to sending ourselves to death!"

Yes!

Today, the world of immortal cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness is no longer in the situation of outward expansion as it was in the past.

Countless monsters emerged from the millions of mountains and continuously attacked the human territory.

Over the past few decades, more than a dozen major domains have fallen.

Even though the Holy Land Mingyuan sent out people to organize and recapture several large domains, they were greeted by the next, even more ferocious beast tide.

I heard that even battles between Yuanying stage cultivators broke out several times.

The young woman in red fell silent.

After a while, she asked softly, "Have you found out whether it was the Five Elements Divine Sect's intention or the Holy Land's will?"

Yao Mingyue hesitated, "The Holy Land's will has always been about the general direction, and the specific personnel deployment is done by the Five Elements Divine Sect and other Yuanying upper sects. This time, although Ran Feng still said that it was the Holy Land's arrangement, in the eyes of the disciples..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

But the meaning is already very clear.

The young woman in red sighed, "I guess the Divine Sect can no longer accommodate us in occupying this high-quality third-level spiritual vein."

Shaking her head, she asked about another matter.

"Has Lingjun sent any news from Fenghua Palace?"

Hearing that name, Yao Mingyue fell silent.

Luo Tian Sect's chief alchemist Qu Lingjun has not been heard from since he entered Fenghua Palace.

What about the promise to gain a foothold in Fenghua Palace with the help of alchemy, and then seek a piece of land for Luotian Sect to recuperate behind the Eastern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world?
After a while, she couldn't help but speak: "Master, I'm afraid Qu Lingjun has forgotten..."

"Shut up!"

The young woman in red looked stern!
"He is your senior brother! He is the disciple of the Supreme Elder! How can you talk nonsense!" Yao Mingyue lowered her head, but there was still some resentment in her eyes.

Over the past few decades, Luotian Sect has been in turmoil, and it was only thanks to everyone's concerted efforts that it was able to escape death and maintain the sect's gate.

Needless to say, it is common for those guest officials and temporarily recruited independent cultivators to abandon their posts and escape at critical moments.

But Qu Lingjun's departure was the biggest blow to the disciples who did not know the truth.

He gave up practicing Buddhism and devoted all his energy to dealing with mundane affairs and interpersonal relationships. This way, Luo Tian Sect would not be excluded by the local forces of the Five Elements Divine Sect.

Who can understand the hard work involved?
Why should she respect Qu Lingjun who has not believed in her for twenty years!
"Ah... Mingyue, you go down first! I will discuss the battle of Sanzu River with the elders. When the time comes, I will rely on you to control the overall situation in the rear."

Yao Mingyue hummed.

Before leaving, she carefully raised her head and looked at the young woman in red expectantly.

"Master, when can you form a pill?"

The young woman in red was full of confidence. "At most thirty years, you don't have to worry. Now my sect has five great Jindan elders. Your uncle Gu has already reached the great perfection of foundation building and is very close to forming a golden core. When she and I build foundations one after another, by then Luotian Sect will have seven great Jindan cultivators. With this strength, we will eventually have a place in the Eastern Wasteland."

After getting the guarantee, Yao Mingyue finally felt a little relieved.

The footsteps of departure also seemed less heavy.

But she didn't see the drooping eyelids of the young woman in red.

"Energy formation..."

A faint sigh sounded from the cave.

Along with it, there was another sarcastic voice.

"Mother Sima Hui, how could I not know that you were so confident in forming the elixir? You are only at the ninth level of the foundation building now!"

A young woman in a white palace dress walked in carefree.

Seeing the person coming, Sima Hui Niang's face darkened.

“Gu Caiyi, you have finally reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Why are you running around here and there instead of retreating to form the Core? The Core Formation resources that the sect has squeezed out for you cannot be wasted like this.”

"Humph!"

Gu Caiyi snorted coldly, "If I don't come out, will you die on the battlefield of Sanzu River and I won't even know it?"

Sima Hui Niang pursed her lips and shook her head gently: "It's hard to say about this matter. It depends on how Wang Yuan and Chu Kui decide."

The battles of Luotian Sect have always been decided by Wang Yuan and Chu Kui.

The former charged into battle, while the latter commanded from the center on the battlefield.

As for the other three Jindan elders, they were guest officials recruited over the years.

The Luotian Alliance of that time had already become a mere name during the days of the demonic rebellion.

Gu Caiyi whispered, "In the battle of Shifang Immortal City three years ago, Wang Yuan was seriously injured. This time, I'm afraid we..."

"What do you want to say?" Sima Hui Niang looked over with a frown.

"What I mean is that the Five Elements Divine Realm is not a place to stay for long, and the Five Elements Divine Sect has an ambiguous attitude towards us. I'm afraid they are not so kind to take us in, and now they are even asking us to die. So, do you want to consider your brother Sima Wenjie's plan?"

"You mean to merge with Motian Cliff?" Sima Hui Niang told the plan, and then resolutely refused, "Impossible! Luotian Sect is his foundation. Even if I die, I will not agree to merge with him."

The Motian Cliff they both mentioned is another well-known Nascent Soul Sect in the Eastern Wilderness.

Back then, he also participated in the war to open up the Howling Moon Mountains.

In that battle, several Nascent Soul upper sects joined forces.

But the final result was that the Luoyun Sect was destroyed, the Yuding Sword Sect was destroyed by monsters, and even the Yaowang Sect, which was not far away, was forced to relocate and leave its original domain.

Only the Five Elements Divine Sect, Fenghua Palace, and Motian Cliff, which were far away from each other, managed to preserve their strength.

Oh!
And Fang Tianfan City, a major participant in that pioneering war, is now in name only.

Although the sect still exists, the person in charge is already a powerful person from the Mingyuan Sect.

After that battle, the Yuanying Sect was affected, but the ones that were most affected were actually the Jindan Sects like the Luotian Sect.

The once famous Jindan sects in Yuding Domain, such as Qingdan Valley, Ice Castle, etc., have long since disappeared.

Even if the sect's elites survive, they will either become independent cultivators or be absorbed by the Nascent Soul Sect.

Among these forces, there are very few like the Luotian Sect that have traveled thousands of miles and still maintained the framework of a sect.

This shows how essential the power retained by the Luotian Sect is.

Therefore, a Nascent Soul sect like Motianya had the idea of ​​absorbing the Luotian Sect, and repeatedly sent people to contact it secretly.

Seeing Sima Huiniang so determined, Gu Caiyi's eyes turned red.

"Do you think I don't care about his inheritance?"

"But if the people are killed, what's the use of the bare name of Luo Tianzong?"

"There is no news from Lingjun, and the Five Elements Divine Sect is treating us with ambiguity. If this continues, with one battle after another, how many of us in the Luotian Sect will survive?"

"Most importantly, is he really still alive?"

Sima Huiniang suddenly took a step forward and stared at Gu Caiyi.

"He's alive!"

Gu Caiyi gritted her teeth and said, "But all the Jindan cultivators who went to the Great Snow Mountain died! This is the information disclosed by all the sects later. How can you be sure that he is still alive?"

Sima Hui Niang pointed a finger at her chest and said, "He is really still alive!"

"Is he still alive in your heart?" Gu Caiyi looked at Sima Huiniang with pity. "I would like to believe that he is still alive, but the fact is that sixty years have passed and there is no news!"

Sima Huiniang's tone slowed down slightly and she shook her head.

"I once told you that during my foundation-building ceremony, Chu Kui gave me a pair of Lingxi Gu. One male and one female, they were implanted in me and him, and nourished with our heart blood. The fact that my one is still alive means that he is still alive, and even alive and well."

"Don't mention that Lingxi Gu anymore!"

Unexpectedly, when this thing was mentioned, Gu Caiyi rarely lost her composure.

His face flushed and his tone was almost a roar.

Sima Hui Niang shook her head and did not argue.

She knew that the other party was jealous.

I've been jealous for so many years!
She was jealous that she became Luo Chen's woman before her.

Jealous that I believed more than anyone else that Luo Chen was still alive.

He was jealous that he and Luo Chen had the so-called "telepathic" connection.

However, Gu Caiyi, after persevering year after year, gradually began to doubt whether Luo Chen was still alive.

To the extent that the love gradually became blurred.

Whenever I think of my own hesitation, I am tortured by endless guilt.

The so-called love cannot stand the test of time and distance.

"That's it!"

"You should go back and practice in seclusion, so that you can form a golden elixir as soon as possible!"

"Luo Tianzong is still too weak to withstand the ups and downs of the immortal cultivation world. As for me..."

Sima Huiniang felt a little depressed.

Even though she had handed over the sect's mundane affairs to her disciple Yao Mingyue and concentrated on her cultivation, the gap in qualifications and lack of resources made her increasingly anxious about forming a pill.

especially!

She won't live long.

She was older than Luo Chen, Gu Caiyi and others, and she had just completed her foundation building before she turned sixty.

Now, there are only a few decades left before the 250-year deadline for foundation building.

The time required to go from entering the ninth level of foundation building to the great perfection of foundation building, and even to take the last step to form the golden elixir, is simply not something she can afford.

The thirty years I just mentioned to Yao Mingyue, haha...

She laughed at herself and had already given up.

Perhaps, this battle at Sanzu River would be the last time she would contribute her strength to Luotian Sect.

Gu Caiyi stood up and walked out of the cave.

The back figure looks a little distraught.

Right now!

Suddenly, a creepy breath came from behind.

Gu Caiyi turned around suddenly!
In the sight, Sima Hui Niang's clothes were disheveled and her hair was hanging down.

A pair of hands tightly covered his chest, his face was extremely pale, and there was disbelief in his eyes.

It was as if the sky had fallen.

Sima Hui Niang had never behaved in such a way, even when she knew that all the monks in the Great Snow Mountain had fallen into the hands of the Demon King.

Is it...

Gu Caiyi felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Hui Niang, what happened to him?"
