Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 792: Splitting the Soul and Inhabiting the Body, Using One Mind for Three Purposes, Black Ape Learning to Use the Talisman, Red Dog Refining the Alchemy

"Junior Brother Qu, aren't you going to meet your father?"

Halfway up the Daqing Mountain, several figures stood together, looking into the distance at the courtyard where the sect master handled daily affairs.

Two figures walked in side by side.

Yuan Yijun looked at Qu Jiu in confusion. The other party was looking into the distance, his lips tightly pursed, and his facial muscles stretched into sharp contours.

Qu Jiu spat out two words in a cold voice.

"not see!"

Yuan Yijun was puzzled. After all, he was her father, so why did they have to be so estranged from each other?

She admires the role of "father" from the bottom of her heart.

Her mother died when she was a child, and it was her father Yuan Dongsheng who raised her and loved her very much.

Even though Yuan Dongsheng has passed away for many years, she often misses her father's broad shoulders.

Therefore, she didn't understand why Junior Brother Qu's father didn't take the initiative to meet him even though he had returned.

Could it be because of the woman who came back with Qu Lingjun?

……

When he got closer, Qu Lingjun paused, turned around and said to the woman, "Qin'er, wait for me a moment."

Meng Qin'er nodded and said encouragingly, "Relax. Since your master has taken the initiative to let you return to the sect, it means that the past is forgiven."

Qu Lingjun smiled, he thought so too.

Just as he was about to go in, a tall figure walked out of the house.

Qu Lingjun's eyes lit up, "Yilong!"

Zeng Yilong was stunned at first, then he smiled with surprise and grabbed Qu Lingjun's arm.

"Brother, you are finally back!"

Qu Lingjun laughed, "Yes, I'm back. If you need any medicine in the future, just come to the Alchemy Institute to find me."

Within the immortal sect, seniority titles are often based on realm, emphasizing that strength is the most important.

But there are occasional exceptions.

For example, Qu Lingjun, his realm is only foundation building, not as good as Zeng Yilong's third level of body refining. But because Qu Lingjun himself has a high status in Luotian Sect and is the only direct disciple of the supreme elder Luo Chen, even if there are people with better qualifications than him and whose realms are rising faster than him, they still keep the same name as before.

Hearing the word "Danyuan" at this moment, Zeng Yilong looked a little strange.

Qu Lingjun hadn't noticed and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Zeng Yilong coughed dryly and pointed to the middle of the mountain.

"The Sect Master has given me a mission. I am going to find the Supreme Elder of the Divine Talisman Sect to receive a batch of Talisman Skins. By the way, I will also take those youngsters to see the world."

"These young people in my sect have all come from fighting, and have seen the world..."

Qu Lingjun was speaking with a smile, but following the direction Zeng Yilong pointed, he vaguely saw a gloomy and cold face.

He is about 60% similar to her.

The remaining three points look very much like the face in my memory.

"It's a little wine!"

Even if you haven't spent a few days together, you will always feel like a stranger to your own son.

"Yilong, please take care of Qujiu."

Zeng Yilong patted his strong chest and said, "No need for you to remind me, this is my job. I'll go first and we'll talk when I come back!"

"Well, we'll talk when we get back!"

Qu Lingjun smiled slightly, but as Zeng Yilong walked to the middle of the mountain, Qu Jiu just glanced at him coldly, without any warmth at all.

Qu Lingjun's smile gradually disappeared, but he was not at all annoyed by the other party's coldness.

Qujiu is the son of him and Mili, and even its name comes from the process of making wine from koji rice.

But he abandoned his wife and children to join Fenghua Palace and did not fulfill his fatherly duties. It was natural that the other party would resent him.

"Husband, Sect Master Li is calling you."

A soft female voice sounded behind me.

Qu Lingjun sighed, lifted his robe and walked into the house.

"Lingjun is back..."

Li Yingzhang greeted him with a smile, without any sense of strangeness.

Qu Lingjun also forced a smile again.

"It's time to come back. I'm so old and I'm not at peace outside. I can still contribute to the sect if I come back. I heard that the sect is short of financial resources. I have made great progress in alchemy, so I can lead the Alchemy Academy to open up a source of income for Luotian Sect."

Li Yingzhang waved his hand, "There's no rush."

He looked outside, "Fellow Daoist Meng, what's going on?"

When mentioning Meng Qin'er, Qu Lingjun showed a gentle look on his face.

"She didn't want to divorce me, so she asked the Grand Palace Master for mercy and returned to Luotian Sect with me. After I die in forty or fifty years, I will return to Fenghua Palace. I hope you will grant my permission for this."

Li Yingzhang suddenly understood and expressed his emotion about their deep love.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Meng Qin'er is considered to be a talented young person in Fenghua Palace. She has reached the Golden Core Stage at a young age. Now that she has come to Luotian Sect with Qu Lingjun, even if she only has 40 or 50 years, it is enough to enhance the reputation of Luotian Sect.

Sima Wenjie was deposed, and only eight of Luo Tian's nine golden elixirs remained.

Meng Qiner's arrival has made up for it.

Naturally, he would not refuse and immediately agreed to Qu Lingjun's request.

Qu Lingjun was relieved that his Taoist partner could stay, and then asked curiously, "Where is my master?"

Li Yingzhang replied: "The Grand Elder is preparing to refine the Infant Forming Pill. He is very busy recently and may not have time to see you."

Qu Lingjun's eyes lit up, "Master, are you going to make an elixir? I heard that the process of making the Infant Forming Pill is extremely complicated. Back then, Qingdan Valley mobilized the entire sect's power and specially invited my master to help, but unfortunately they all failed. I came back just in time to help Master."

These words were spoken quickly and urgently, yet with confidence and pride!
His current alchemy skills are already enough to make third-grade pills, which is in no way inferior to those of some of the elders in Qingdan Valley back then.

He was confident that he had the ability to help his master.

however.

"That's not necessary. Qi Yi has already gone to help the Grand Elder."

"I also……"

Qu Lingjun looked into Li Yingzhang's secretive eyes, and for some reason he stopped talking about going together.

He said tentatively: "Since Qi Yi has gone to help, there should be fewer people to look after the Alchemy Institute. I can go to the Alchemy Institute to help take care of it."

This time, he did not arrogantly treat the Danyuan as his own territory like he did when he met Zeng Yilong before.

Because he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

really!

Li Yingzhang coughed and shook his head: "You don't have to go to the Alchemy Academy. The sect has already arranged a cave for you to practice. Just go and practice in seclusion."

Qu Lingjun was a little bit unbelievable.

"Is it your intention or Master's intention?"

Li Yingzhang did not answer, but simply handed him a storage bag.

With his current status, there is no need for him to beat around the bush.

If you avoid answering like this, then the answer is...

Qu Lingjun's face gradually turned pale.

……

Baili Qingchuan is not big, but it has a very solid third-level spiritual vein.

Only relying on this excellent spiritual vein can the hundred-mile medicinal field be nurtured.

After Luo Tianzong arrived, he opened up five caves with third-level spiritual energy concentration for the daily practice of Jindan cultivators.

Eight or nine Jindan cultivators squeezed together and arranged their turns, and were able to get around.

After Luo Chen came back, he did not choose the third-level cave.

I just chose a beautiful place in Daqing Mountain as my temporary residence.

He is now in a state of consolidation, and his body contains a large amount of unrefined magic power. Those are the vitality infused by heaven and earth when he comprehended the true meaning of withering and flourishing.

Moreover, he had a large number of high-quality Hongyuan Pills that he had refined before, so he would not be short of spiritual energy for the time being.

At this time, two figures were busy in the cave.

"Xiao Qi, use the alchemy technique I taught you to refine the purple monkey flowers. The purple monkey flowers sent by the Divine Talisman Sect are too old, and the medicinal power is not condensed enough."

"Ok!"

Qi Yi walked to the shelf containing the purple monkey flowers and took them out one by one.

After getting ready, he suddenly asked, "Grand Elder, why don't you let Qu Lingjun come to help you? I heard that his alchemy skills have reached a high level, no less than some third-level alchemists." Luo Chen, who was cutting the Five Elements Lotus Platform, asked back without raising his head, "Why, do you think you are not capable?"

Qi Yi quickly shook his head. To have the opportunity to help Luo Chen refine the elixir and observe the refining of the Infant-Forming Pill was something he had always dreamed of.

How can I miss this opportunity just because of lack of confidence?

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I just want to have one more person to help you share some of the work. This way, the chances of success in refining the Infant Formation Pill will be greater."

"Don't worry. Refining the Infant Forming Pill doesn't put any pressure on me. Don't think too much and just focus on the preparations! This experience will benefit you a lot."

"Oh."

Qi Yi didn't ask any more questions and focused on dealing with the purple monkey flower.

The small knife in Luo Chen's hand went back and forth on the Five Elements Lotus Platform, cutting off pieces of the lotus platform that were connected by holes.

In his heart, he already had the answer to Qi Yi's question just now.

"Lingjun is a child with poor aptitude. He has spent too much energy on alchemy for Fenghua Palace over the years, so even at his age, he has not yet reached the late stage of foundation building."

"Now that I'm back, I can't let him be distracted again."

"Choose a sacred place and cultivate for fifty years. Perhaps you will have a chance to try for a golden elixir before your life ends. If you succeed, your life span will double, and you will have unlimited possibilities."

"I hope he can understand my thoughts and not be blinded by other things."

Sighing in his heart, Luo Chen continued to cut the Five Elements Lotus Platform.

At that time, Master Fu gave him two Five Elements Lotus Platforms, both without lotus seeds. With his alchemy skills, he could use them to refine the Infant-Forming Pill twenty times.

But with the previous successful precedent, he could save a Five Elements Lotus Platform and use it for himself.

Han Zhan had told him about the wonderful uses of this thing in the Fallen Demon Land back then.

The Five Elements Lotus Platform is not actually used as medicine.

Lotus seeds embody the essence of the five elements and are too extreme, making them more suitable for refining equipment.

The lotus platform itself is extremely transparent and can filter out impurities in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is often used by Yuanying Zhenren as an auxiliary tool for daily meditation and practice.

Back then in the Blazing Purgatory, Luo Chen once briefly borrowed that top-grade lotus platform to practice for a period of time, which greatly improved his cultivation.

After experiencing that effect, he has been thinking about it all the time.

The two lotus pedestals given by Elder Fu are not of particularly good quality, but they are barely sufficient.

……

a few days later.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the confiscated lotus platform, closed his eyes and rested before refining the elixir.

But my heart is quite active.

"Everything is complicated now. Although it is not difficult, it is quite troublesome."

"Even if I could multitask, I couldn't do it all at once."

"But I have condensed two souls. If I can release them to do things, it may save me a lot of time and speed up the progress in all aspects."

Thinking of this, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

A divided soul cannot stay outside for long, it needs a body to rest in.

With Han Zhan’s precedent, he might be able to follow suit.

"I need two puppets!"

Puppet, he has it!

There is a white tiger puppet in the storage ring.

But that thing is of too high a grade and contains a spirit, which is beyond the control of his current soul.

After years of research, Luo Chen is somewhat confident that he can subdue it, but his own realm is not high enough. If he tries to control it by force, he may easily be backlashed, which is too risky.

"Let Yuan Jiang come over!"

With a thought, Luo Chen's spiritual consciousness transmitted the message.

After a while, Qin Yuanjiang arrived at Luo Chen's cave.

When Luo Chen said he wanted two puppets, Qin Yuanjiang took out a large pile of puppets from his storage bag without any hesitation.

Looking at the dazzling array of puppets lined up in a row, Luo Chen was a little surprised.

"so much?"

Qin Yuanjiang smiled slightly, "They are all crudely made, ready to be detonated directly when fighting the enemy."

Luo Chen suddenly realized that these puppets were indeed not high-quality ones, and there were not even any in human form.

In that case, there is no need to be polite.

He picked up a red dog puppet and a black ape puppet at random.

After he finished his selection, Qin Yuanjiang put away the other puppets and looked at Luo Chen curiously.

"Elder, are you also proficient in puppetry?"

"I can't say I'm proficient in it, I just dabble in it. Also, my method of controlling puppets..."

As Luo Chen was talking, he closed his eyes in front of Qin Yuanjiang.

The next moment, two faint lights flashed out from above his head and directly penetrated into the bodies of the red dog and the black ape.

Kaka!

Kaka!

The red dog opened his eyes, and the black ape opened his eyes.

Qin Yuanjiang's heart trembled. This horrifying scene was clearly the soul-splitting technique recorded in the Luoyun Sect.

With his original status, he could not access this kind of method.

But not long ago, the "Soul-Splitting Technique" was recorded in the three volumes of classics that Luo Chen gave him, which allowed him to understand the tip of the iceberg of this method.

On the lotus platform, Luo Chen's real body slowly opened his eyes.

"Yuan Jiang, do you understand my puppet technique now?"

Qin Yuanjiang took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

Obviously, the Grand Elder had obtained certain skills from the Luoyun Sect and cultivated them to an extremely high level, so he was able to separate two souls.

And the fact that he showed it so blatantly to me showed his trust in me even more.

"I am a close friend of your parents, and I will take care of you."

"Now that you have entered the Luotian Sect, you don't have to worry about your future path. I can teach you what the Luoyun Sect can teach you."

"Don't worry and practice those puppetry techniques. Maybe in the future you can pass down the puppetry lineage in Luotian Sect."

Luo Chen said this, his eyes full of earnest encouragement.

Luo Chen does not have the complete three skills and two techniques of Luoyun Sect.

But he has the "Micro Dust Art" which is a combination of the "Locking Pearl Curtain", the "Kai Mao Technique" taught by Han Zhan, and the "Soul-Splitting Technique". These three techniques combined together form a way to cultivate the soul.

There may be some imperfections, but if combined with Luo Chen's Tongyou Pill and Dahun Pill, it will basically be flawless.

If Qin Yuanjiang practices this set of techniques completely and then studies the methods of puppet making and control in depth, he may be able to reproduce the power of Luoyun Sect's puppets.

Facing Luo Chen's eager gaze, Qin Yuanjiang bowed respectfully.

"Yuan Jiang will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and let him go back.

After Qin Yuanjiang left, Luo Chen's eyes fell on the two puppets.

It contains his two souls. The weakest one has reached the Nascent Soul level after taking a large amount of Big Soul Pills.

And because they share the same main soul, their minds are connected. Luo Chen knows everything they do and what they have learned.

The only drawback is probably the lack of "energy"!

"After all, it is not a true incarnation, without a Nascent Soul, and without any magical power."

Luo Chen inexplicably recalled the quick glimpse of the Thunder Dao clone of Time Torch in the Mirage Dragon Cave.

It is an incarnation with flesh and blood, containing the second Yuanying, possessing great magical powers and great abilities!
It is a thousand times better than the puppet incarnation he hastily created.

He shook his head. He couldn't envy such a thing.

Luo Chen raised his hand and shot out two bursts of spiritual light. Dozens of high-quality spirit stones sank into the puppet's body, acting as energy for movement.

Not only that, he opened his mouth and a wisp of true fire flew out.

The red dog puppet opened its mouth at the same time and absorbed it.

"Black Ape, you can study the art of talismans, understand the theory, and become familiar with the drawing method."

"Chigou, follow me to make the elixir!"

Without further ado, the two puppets took action as they communicated with each other's minds.
