Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 719 Huangquan disappears, Cangwu is still there (asking for monthly tickets)
"You and I are master and servant. It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm just in case."

"I have removed the blood restriction, which will affect your normal practice. But I must plant the slave mark to prevent you from being manipulated by others at a critical moment and turning against me."

"Soul blood, hand it over!"

On a chariot that was obscured by spiritual light, Luo Chen spoke slowly to the Black King who was curled up under his seat.

He didn't say this without any purpose.

Han Zhan’s previous experience is right in front of us.

The Black King's innate magic, in addition to its inherent ability to devour and digest, is similar to the power of his life-saving magic weapon, the Hunyuan Ding, to capture the Nascent Soul. If it is used unexpectedly from behind, even Luo Chen will suffer a loss.

Unfortunately, wild beasts, creatures that possess extraordinary power, have low intelligence and weak souls, and are extremely easy to be controlled by powerful soul masters.

The Black King is particularly disadvantaged in this regard.

Although he was quite intelligent, the time he had spent in cultivation was too short. Even though his realm had soared, he was unable to sharpen his spiritual foundation over the years.

Unlike Luo Chen, even though he has been practicing for a short time, his spiritual foundation has always been profound, and he has long made up for this shortcoming.

Luo Chen didn't mention this before because he was busy practicing hard at the time, and Black King had just made a breakthrough not long ago. Taking out his soul blood at that time would hinder his practice.

Now that he has left Longyuan Island and has to face the ups and downs of the world of immortal cultivation, Luo Chen still has to prepare for the future.

The betrayal of those around you must never happen again!

He looked at the hesitant Black King and did not urge him.

The other party's loyalty is beyond doubt, but the reason for his hesitation is obviously that after handing over his soul and blood, life and death will only depend on Luo Chen's thoughts, which is difficult for any living being to accept voluntarily.

In front, Sang Jinghe was riding the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his mouth, as if he was not paying any attention to this side. But if you look closely, you can see that his body under his robe is also tense.

Tianxuan stood by and looked at the Black King with anxiety and worry.

She wanted to speak, but in front of Luo Chen's calm aura, she couldn't open her mouth at all.

Beside the chariot, strong winds blew and white clouds drifted away.

After a while, the Black King said in a muffled voice: "I am willing to be the master's pet again!"

A drop of crimson blood slowly emerged from the top of his head, and vaguely, there was a lifelike black-scaled dragon in it, with long whiskers and four legs tumbling and jumping.

This is the soul and blood of the Black King.

Luo Chen collected it into his sea of ​​consciousness with satisfaction, and then cast his own unique spirit seal on the Black King.

From then on, the life and death of the Black King would be in his hands with just a thought.

Seeing the Black King lowering his head dejectedly, Luo Chen smiled and rubbed his cold head.

"Don't worry. If the Lord ascends to heaven one day, he will grant you freedom."

"In addition, I can also promise you a promise. When you are ready to break through to the fifth level, I will return your soul blood to you and grant you a complete soul body!"

After getting these two promises, Black King Yanbaba's mood recovered a little.

Because of Luo Chen's smile, the atmosphere in the chariot became a little more relaxed, and Tianxuan was finally able to speak.

She first glanced at the Black King, and then said to Luo Chen: "Master, what about me? My slave seal was also removed in the Ming Zhaotian Dan Palace, right..."

"Forget about you. With your current strength, you can't threaten me even if you are controlled by others. You should work hard on your cultivation and work hard for me!"

Luo Chen said with a smile.

Tianxuan said "oh" and felt a little regretful.

I don’t have the strength to even be the master’s pet!

On the other hand, Sang Jinghe was completely relieved after hearing that Luo Chen did not want Tianxuan soul blood.

In his heart, he was still mocking himself: "What are you thinking? With the tolerance of a real person, I, a small Jindan cultivator, can still be tolerated."

At this moment, an order came to my ear.

"Change direction!"

He asked doubtfully, "Master, aren't we heading north?"

"Let's go to the southeast first. I have something to do." Luo Chen said lightly.

Sang Jinghe nodded and steered the chariot away from its original direction.

Luo Chen held a jade slip recording the geography of the North Sea in his hand, and his spiritual consciousness fell on an archipelago shaped like a flying swallow.

It was small and remote, but it was where he stayed when he first arrived in Beihai.

There was a contradictory emotion in his eyes, a mixture of expectation and disbelief.

……

The chariot headed straight southeast, without passing through human territory.

But wherever he passed, he didn't see many powerful monsters blocking the way.

This was certainly due to the fact that Luo Chen cast a spell to conceal the aura of the chariot, but it was also a fact that the number of monsters in the Monster Sea decreased.

Faced with this abnormal situation, everyone felt a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come.

On this day, the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot stopped over a sea area.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew out from it and went straight below.

The huge body and the ambiguous aura, at that moment, aroused the fear in the hearts of many monsters.

Cries of panic were heard from the beaches of each island, but all the noise fell silent under the terrifying dragon's roar.

Soon, the shadow returned.

Pfft!
A third-level demon king who was forced to shrink in size knelt trembling on the chariot deck.

The salty sea water flowed out from his shell, and he looked extremely terrified.

"You answer whatever my master asks. Do you hear me?"

The red rock crab shuddered all over and subconsciously looked up at the man sitting on the couch.

Just one glance and he felt like he was in a dream.

"I remember that there were five royal families of demon crabs in the Xuanyan Sea. Why is it that when I explored with my spiritual sense, I only found your Red Rock Crab family? The number of other demon crabs is very small?"

The Red Rock Crab Monster King murmured, "A hundred years ago, in the battle of Xuanyan, the five royal crabs suffered heavy losses. Later, the Overlord Crab Clan tried to unify Xuanyan, but was counterattacked by Zhu Xiang, the patriarch of the Demon Spider Crab Clan, who colluded with the outer sea monsters. A civil war broke out and the Overlord Crab Clan was destroyed. The new patriarch, the Golden Armor Monster King, also died in that battle. However, the Golden Claw Monster King, who had one arm cut off, fought his way out and escaped into the vast Monster Sea."

"What about the remaining Green Emperor Crabs, Demon Spider Crabs, Nine-clawed Poison King Crabs, and your four tribes of Red Rock Crabs?"

The Red Rock Crab Monster King continued to answer: "They were recruited by the Monster King to join the North Sea Monster Alliance and are now attacking the human heartland. I am weak, so I was left behind..."

This red rock crab is indeed not very powerful, and looks like it has just advanced to the level of a demon king.

Luo Chen frowned, "Demon Alliance?"

"It is the coalition of the North Sea demon tribe, led by Great Sage Beili and Lord Sea Emperor Whale. It is said that there are dozens of large tribes and thousands of small tribes. They are extremely powerful, with 90% of the strength of the one who attacked the Yuan Demon Sect back then!"

Luo Chen took a deep breath, shock flashing in his eyes.

Of course he had heard of the Great Sage Beili and the Sea Emperor Whale.

These are the two famous ancient monsters in the God Transformation Stage in the North Sea!

Back then, it was also under their uprising that they led hundreds of millions of demon armies and marched into the Arctic Night Sky.

Logically speaking, they should be trapped in Yama Heaven, so why are they forming a demon alliance now?

He wanted to get more information.

For example, how did we break the seal and escape, and what is the current battle situation?
But this little demon king, living in a remote corner, has no idea of ​​the details.

In the end, Luo Chen had no choice but to wave his hand and throw the confused demon king back into the sea.

The Liuyu Flying Cloud Chariot continued to start up, and now it was Tianxuan who was controlling this flying magic weapon.

She and Sang Jinghe took turns along the way, which saved energy while maintaining their speed day and night.

From the chariot, the Black King's doubtful voice was heard.

"Master, shouldn't we kill them? They were chasing us relentlessly back then."

"We were the ones who hunted down the Human Family first, how dare you bite us back?"

"Uh... Anyway, I just don't like seeing these guys wielding pincers. Their shells are so hard that they make my stomach hurt."

"Forget it. Since there is no need for resources, why bother killing so much? Speaking of which, you are all demons. Why are you so murderous towards your own kind?"

"Who are we from the same clan as them? Monster is just a name given by cultivators to all non-human beasts. In fact, we are not from the same clan at all. But what clan should I be considered as, Old Black? Master, do you know?"

"Haha, this is difficult for me."

……

Luo Chen really couldn't judge what race the Black King belonged to now.

His original footsteps were a giant black-scaled python rolling in the mud.

Later, someone used a secret method to force him to grow into a black-scaled dragon. But at that time, the Black King was not a dragon at all, but a python at best.

Even after it devoured the remains of the cliff snake, it did not undergo a complete transformation.

Afterwards, he absorbed the blood of millions of dragon earthworms, the blood of Luo Chen, and the residual soul of the wild beast stone dragon. During this process, the Emperor's Flowing Juice, a sacred medicine for the demon race that can help demon beasts tap into their deep blood, also continued to play a role.

Until now, if we really want to talk about the Black King's race, no matter its bloodline or soul, it cannot be concealed. Only from the appearance, can we see some of the appearance of Yinglong recorded in ancient books.

But unfortunately, he has no wings!
Let’s just call it a dragon!

Luo Chen was too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters and hurriedly passed through the Xuanyan Sea.

He once had high hopes for this place and almost considered it as an alternative place to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. But looking at it now, it is very poor in spiritual energy.

Especially the Xuanyan Island, which was not well managed. After a hundred years, its grade has not recovered to the fourth level and is still at the third level.

I’m afraid that there won’t be a Demon King in this sea for another thousand and eight hundred years.

……

The chariot continued to move forward, and Luo Chen's spiritual sense quietly swept through wherever it passed.

I found that it was basically the same as I remembered, but some islands were missing.

For example, there is a large island where humans gather, and there used to be a Jindan sect on it. Now both the people and the island have disappeared.

This is strange.

Even if it was destroyed in battle, the old site should have been left.

What's more, Luo Chen remembered that the fairy island was arranged with the method of connecting islands and forming a formation passed down by the Canghai Alliance, so ordinary monsters could not kill it.

However, this strange thing seems insignificant in the context of another matter.

That is the disappearance of the Cliff of Broken Souls!
Traveling eastward from Longyuan Island, Luo Chen covered thousands of miles and carefully approached the Yellow Springs Sea where the Soul-Severing Cliff in his memory was located.

But, there is nothing!

Yes, the sky there is clear and the sea is blue. There is no turbid and terrifying scene of the underworld with broken souls at all.

Even when flying along the periphery of the Demon Sea, we did not find any signs of the Cliff of Broken Souls or the Yellow Springs Sea.

"Did you run away?"

"Is that sea a living thing?"

This speculation once came to my mind.

Luo Chen remembered that he used the magic technique taught by Han Zhan to split the puppet in which the soul resided. Before it disappeared, it vaguely sent back a scene.

Endless Yellow Springs, washing away the void.

The sea was surging and the chewing sound entered my head.

If we want to explain the mysterious disappearance of the Yellow Springs Sea, perhaps the only answer is that the sea is a living thing.

……

A month later.

Albatrosses are circling, and salas are swaying.

Luo Chen quietly got off the chariot.

"You guys go to Feiyan Islands and wait for me. If nothing unexpected happens, I will come later."

Tianxuan was a little confused. Was this the sea area where the albatrosses were hovering?
I still remember that when she came back from the Xuanyan Sea, her master seemed to have stayed here and asked her to go to the Feiyan Islands first to find out the truth.

At that time, her role as the master was to prevent ambushes in the Feiyan Islands.

But now, the master has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, why should he stay here?

However, since the master has given the order, there is naturally no room for questioning.

"Yes, Master!"

Watching the magnificent chariot go away, Luo Chen took a deep breath and cast his gaze on the few islands in the Xintian Sea.

He did not emit his spiritual sense, but searched for the target only based on his memory.

Soon, he saw a familiar hill.

"Back then, I passed this mountain without entering, but this time, I will finally face it."

Luo Chen waved his sleeves and flew over slowly.

Once you reach the foot of the mountain, hike up the mountain.

Wherever it passed, the lush vines seemed to have consciousness and automatically moved around it.

Soon, Luo Chen stood nervously in front of a cave that was densely covered by natural vegetation.

"go in!"

Luo Chen lifted the vines and entered the darkness.

……

In front of an ancient magic circle, Luo Chen pursed his lips.

His hand brushed across a corner of the array pattern, and he could faintly see it trembling.

Fixed!

This formation has been repaired!

He remembered very clearly that he had come to the North Sea through the Cangwu Mountain teleportation array. After waking up, he cut off a corner of the array to prevent himself from being hunted down by the demon cultivators of Cangwu Mountain.

At this moment, the ancient formation and its patterns are so new that there is not even a trace of dust on it.

Obviously, it will take a short time to repair this formation, at most twenty or thirty years.

who is it?

The Demon King Qingshuang, or the Deputy Palace Master of Duzhen Palace Youquan?
Or maybe it was that person...

A certain name kept swirling in my mind, but it was like a taboo.

The reason that prompted Luo Chen to come here was not only the homesickness for his hometown in Donghuang, but also the grudge between the Demon Lord Liantian and the Yuan Lord Qixia in the Land of Fallen Demons.

And he, not only mastered the Qixia technique, but also inherited the Liantian heritage.

Therefore, he wanted to see the situation of this formation leading directly to Cangwu Mountain. If Cangwu Mountain was destroyed by the attack of the great masters of the Mingyuan Sect, there would naturally be no spare energy to repair this teleportation formation. Then he would have fewer hidden dangers when returning to the East Desert. If it was repaired, he would have to face the risk that the fact that he had refined pills for the demon tribe might be revealed by them.

The moment he saw it being repaired, the conflicting emotions in Luo Chen's heart completely dissipated.

As if accepting his fate.

The formation has been repaired, which means that Cangwu Mountain is still there, and it even has enough energy to travel thousands of miles to the North Sea to repair this teleportation formation.

They were even too lazy to move the teleportation array and were not afraid of this insider at all.

"Some things are useless to avoid blindly, and you have to face them eventually."

Luo Chen's eyes flickered, and the agitated emotions in his heart gradually calmed down.

"Han Zhan is dead. Except for those Cangwu Mountain monsters, no one knows what I did in Cangwu Mountain. All the powerful human beings died in the Nirvana Holy Fire."

"Now that I have formed a fetus, as long as I insist that I have never done those things, no one should question it except the Holy Land of Transformation."

"If Mingyuan Sect pursues the matter, I have the alchemy skills to refine fifth-level divine pills, so I can try to bargain with them."

"Donghuang, I must go back!"

"However, this teleportation array cannot be used."

Luo Chen shook his head, turned and left.

He didn't take this teleportation array because, firstly, he didn't dare to take it, and secondly, without the Qingluan Feather to protect his body, he couldn't actively activate this array.

At this moment, Luo Chen's heart suddenly moved.

He subconsciously touched his lower abdomen.

In the Purple Palace, the withered and flourishing fire spirits were eager to try.

Luo Chen was surprised, "Can you activate this formation?"

He immediately realized the key.

The Withered and Flourishing True Fire once devoured a bit of the Nirvana Holy Fire. Even if it was just a bit, it gave him a rudimentary form of the Holy Fire.

The Demon Queen Qingshuang might be able to rely on the laws of space to construct a super-large teleportation array, but she definitely does not have the financial resources or the need for it. Her main purpose in setting up this array should be for Qixia Yuanjun to use.

Qixia Yuanjun, who possesses the Holy Fire of Nirvana, may also be one of the keys to activate this teleportation array.

Therefore, his own withering and flourishing fire spirit had that sense of resonance.

"Forget it, there is no need for this formation. I can find another way to return to the East Desert."

Luo Chen shook his head and walked out of the cave.

Without causing any more damage, Luo Chen left the Xintian Sea as usual.

There is no need to repeat the way you came here.

Now that he has achieved Nascent Soul, he has the confidence to find a way to the sky!
