Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 801: The Eternal Great Pass, the Plan of the Abyss

"Come on, come on!"

"Dan Zong is here, I saw his car!"

"How far is it?"

"It's only a dozen miles away, we'll be there in a flash!"

"We need to step forward and try to show our faces in front of the Dan Sect, so that we can have a familiar face when we ask for elixirs in the future."

"Haha, what a familiar face. Who would watch this kind of stuff?"

"Fellow Daoist, you don't quite understand this. I spent a lot of money to learn about Dan Zong's life experience. He is quite a gentleman and is not stingy in supporting the younger generation. It was rumored that he coveted a small family's medicinal materials business and embezzled it. But this is just a rumor. In fact, that family still exists under his care. Even the current leader of Luotian Sect is a cultivator from that family."

"Let an outsider be the leader?"

"Not only that, I heard that when he formed the elixir, he recorded his experience in a poem and recited it to all the cultivators in the city for free. Even now, there are still Jindan cultivators in Yuding Domain who are grateful for the kindness of Dan Sect."

"He is giving away his experience of forming a pill for free? Is he so generous?"

"Yes, otherwise how could he have made so many connections in such a short time, and have so many Nascent Soul masters endorse him? This time, the Dan Sect came to Lingtian in person to perform the three-year patrol mission. If he is in a good mood, a little bit of elixir will flow out from his fingernails, and we will benefit a lot from it."

"I see, let's go together!"

Outside Lingtian Pass, amidst the noisy discussions, many cultivators were crowding towards the only way into the city.

Those who have something in mind will move forward enthusiastically.

Those who have nothing to lose will not lag behind others.

There were also cultivators who came purely to watch the fun, wanting to see what the Dan Sect, which had been hyped up in the past two years, was like.

After all, although Luo Chen performed amazing actions on the fighting stage, he showed his face for too short a time, and not everyone knew what he looked like.

Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to see the true face of Yuanying Zhenren.

But now it’s different!

As a powerful city in wartime, Lingtian Pass has a group of Nascent Soul forces inside it that have set up a no-fly formation based on the formations passed down by the Mingyuan Sect.

Anyone who wanted to enter the city had to get off the flying boat and walk into the city.

As long as Dan Zong's Luo Chen doesn't deliberately cover his face, this will be a great opportunity to see her face in person.

The crowd was crowded, and two beautiful figures were caught in it.

One has an indifferent expression, the other is gentle and skilled.

But if you look closely, there is a hint of uneasiness in the eyes of the two girls.

"Master, will he meet us?"

"should be."

"It would be great if Senior Brother Luo is willing to meet us. With his current strength, he might be able to help us."

"Xiao Lan, he is no longer the foundation-building cultivator. If we meet again, I will call him a real person..."

When the word "real person" was said, the older female cultivator's eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

The young woman called Xiaolan nodded quickly.

She was just used to the previous way of being called, but she was by no means a fledgling who didn't know etiquette. She naturally knew how to treat a strong man correctly.

Suddenly!

Xiaolan's eyes lit up and she pointed into the distance.

"he came!"

The older female cultivator took a deep breath, released her magical power, and pushed forward.

Xiaolan followed closely behind.

In the sky, a cloud chariot was flying quickly. When it got close, its speed dropped sharply and it fell towards the ground.

One after another, the figures of monks flew down from above and stood on both sides of the crowd.

Swish!
A sturdy man, holding a halberd in his hand and with wings on his back, circled in the sky. His powerful blood and energy turned into a wave of air that slowly pushed towards the surroundings.

"Everyone, my great elder wants to enter the city. Please make way for him."

After saying that, he landed at the front of the team like an arrow.

It’s Sha Longzi!

At first glance, people recognized this famous rising star.

The strength of the third level of body refining is not inferior to that of the early stage of golden elixir.

But the focus of everyone's attention at this moment is obviously not him.

Everyone looked towards the cloud chariot.

A figure wearing a white robe with gold patterns walked out.

He has a handsome face and a high nose bridge.

A pair of thin lips, seemingly smiling but with a hint of sarcasm.

What is most eye-catching is the eyes under the tall crown, which are like a cold abyss.

When their eyes swept over, few people dared to look at him.

Even if someone is neither humble nor arrogant and forces to look you in the eye, you will still be confused and don't know why.

Is this Luo Chen from Dan Sect?

She is so young, yet her temperament is so unique. Even in a huge crowd, she stands out and stands out!

Although the crowd was pushed back by Sha Longzi, people couldn't help but squeeze forward when they saw Luo Chen's true appearance.

But just when they were about to make a move, a voice sounded behind them, accompanied by an overwhelming pressure that overwhelmed the entire audience.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, you are finally here, but you have kept me waiting for so long!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure appeared in front of Luo Chen like a ghost.

Luo Chen was stunned at first, then smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Ling Fengzi, you are so embarrassed to greet me like this."

The handsome and elegant middle-aged man laughed and stretched out his hand.

"please!"

Luo Chen nodded and walked into the city with him.

Behind him, Yang Ping put away the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot, and together with Chu Kui, he led the Luotian Sect monks into the city.

As for the onlookers, they were completely silent in front of the two great masters, without any more noise.

When the two figures completely entered Lingtian Pass, there was a sudden commotion outside the city.

"Is that Senior Danzong? I thought he was an old man with white hair. I didn't expect him to be so young!"

"You don't know this. Dan Zong has achieved the realm of a real person. It is said that he is only about 200 years old. He is truly a first-class genius in the world."

"Two hundred years old? Wow, I was still trying to break through the Golden Core Stage at this time!"

"With such a fast cultivation speed and peerless alchemy skills, even the disciples of the Holy Land cannot match him!"

"No wonder the Grand Master of Piao Miao Sect is so serious and personally went out of the city to welcome me. If it were me, I would definitely pay great attention to Senior Danzong."

"Before, Jiuling Yuanjun stood in Daqing Mountain for a long time and paid homage to him. Now, Lingfengzi has personally come out of the city ten miles away to welcome him. Now, in the Eastern Wilderness, the most famous person is Danzong Senior!"

Among the group of monks, the two female monks seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

Under the suppression of Ling Fengzi's Nascent Soul field, no one dared to speak for fear of disturbing the real person.

But now that the person they wanted to see has entered the city, what should they do with what they wanted?

Even a Nascent Soul expert like Ling Fengzi had to come in person to greet him in order to gain the upper hand.

It can be imagined that by then Luo Chen's cave residence in Lingtian Pass will be crowded with people, and unknown people like them will not be able to see Luo Chen at all.

The older female cultivator, whose originally indifferent face revealed a rare look of confusion.

Instead, the young woman said in a low voice in doubt and surprise: "Master, I think I saw Sixth Brother."

"Sixth brother?"

"Yes, he was just in the Luo Tian Sect's ranks. It's hard to meet Master Luo, but if I go find Sixth Brother, maybe I can go through the back door."

As soon as these words came out, the older female cultivator's eyes suddenly lit up. ...

"As the most powerful city in the Eastern Wasteland today, and even the strongest pass in the Eastern Wasteland throughout the ages, Lingtian Pass took a lot of thought to build."

"It was built by cutting off the borders of five regions, combining the financial resources of sixteen regions, and with the huge manpower of refugees from the twelve lost regions ahead. It covers an area of ​​eight thousand miles!"

"The number of cultivators there has exceeded 10 million, and there are more than 100,000 of them who are in the foundation-building stage!"

"According to the statistics from the City Lord's Mansion, there are about 3,000 Jindan cultivators in the open. This is an extremely powerful force. Apart from the Kaihua Holy Land, there is almost no other force that can possess such a large number of Jindan cultivators at the same time."

Luo Chen listened to Ling Fengzi introducing the situation of Lingtian Pass to him. Those cold numbers gave him a concrete impression of this majestic city.

However, even though he had expected this, he still couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he heard the number of three thousand golden elixirs.

"How can there be so many?"

Ling Fengzi replied as a matter of course: "When a catastrophe strikes, those who are most likely to survive are those with great strength. Low-level cultivators die one after another, but Jindan cultivators will not die so easily."

"Moreover, as more people die, more resources will be freed up. Under external pressure, the strong foundation builders with sufficient resources will naturally fight to the death."

"Fellow Daoist has also experienced the condensation of the golden elixir, so he naturally understands that the most important thing to break through the golden elixir stage is the determination to move forward!"

Luo Chen nodded.

When a cultivator refines his Qi, the emphasis will be different when he breaks through each realm.

Refining Qi to build the foundation requires pure spiritual power to construct the foundation of the Tao.

To upgrade from Golden Elixir to Nascent Soul, one must pursue profound foundation and the unity of the Three Treasures. In addition, one must have great means to deal with the thunder of heavenly tribulation.

Breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage is also different. There are many different methods of forming the Golden Core, and there are countless paths leading to this realm.

There is only one thing that is necessary!
That is the determination to move forward courageously and die if not successful!

If it fails, his old friend Tan Tai Jin would die at the critical juncture, or Chu Kui would be seriously injured and almost die.

If it succeeds, then I can just shout out, "I swallowed a golden pill, and my life is in my own hands!"
Under extreme external pressure, if there are sufficient resources, a large number of Jindan monks will indeed emerge.

Like his Luotian Sect, the reason why nine golden elixirs emerged within a hundred years was also due to this reason.

but!

Although this kind of Jindan cultivator has reached a certain level, he is actually not up to standard in many aspects.

For example, the magic power is not polished enough, the skills are not changed in time, or forced breakthroughs leave hidden injuries.

Even for the magic weapon that is one's life, there is probably no room for careful selection.

Three thousand golden pills?

Perhaps less than half of them are truly elite.

"As for Nascent Soul cultivators, there are five Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in Lingtian Pass all year round, and they are replaced every three years."

"Can you switch?"

Ling Fengzi smiled slightly, "Of course they can be exchanged. There are currently twenty Yuanying fellows in the five Lingtian regions. Once the war gets intense, the five Yuanying can instantly increase to ten or twenty! Even the sixteen regions in the rear will send Yuanying masters to rush to the rescue to ensure that Lingtian Pass is not lost."

so much?
Luo Chen was slightly surprised.

But after careful calculation, there is not much difference.

Just at his Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony two years ago, twelve Nascent Soul cultivators came.

If we include those who stay in the sect, guard Lingtian Pass, and those who are in seclusion, the number of twenty is natural.

Such a number made Luo Chen compare himself with the overlord-level forces during the North Sea period.

I’m afraid the Canghai Alliance is no more than this!

If the three parties of the Moluo Clan, the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, and the Penglai Immortal Sect were added in, the number of Nascent Soul powerhouses would be comparable to the sixteen domains behind the Eastern Wasteland.

The destroyed Yuanmo Sect and the existing Mingyuan Sect roughly offset each other.

From this perspective, the number of high-level cultivators in East Wilderness and North Sea is actually similar.

Oh!
I underestimated a little. The North Sea archipelago is scattered, and there are many forces like the Bingji Sect that have not been involved in the war between the three overlords for hegemony over the North Sea.

Therefore, in the past, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the North Sea was actually more than that in the Eastern Wilderness.

The North Sea is worthy of its reputation for being rich in resources.

This is how Luo Chen compares the two continents.

But subconsciously, he did not include Zhongzhou in the comparison.

Because there is really no comparison.

Zhongzhou, a place of clan!
Without consumption, even he didn't know how many Nascent Soul masters there were in Zhongzhou.

Definitely more than a hundred!
Two hundred is just the apparent amount.

Three hundred, or even four hundred, I'm afraid it's possible.

If the fierce tiger of Zhongzhou escapes from the cage, I am afraid that the other four continents in the Mountain and Sea Realm will only be able to match it!

"This is the advantage of dominating a continent. You can develop as much as you want."

"If the Mingyuan Sect controls the thirty-six regions and even clears out millions of mountains in the wilderness, I'm afraid its strength will be able to catch up..."

Thinking of this, Luo Chen's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

Even Jiuling Yuanjun can see that the current situation is precarious, but the Mingyuan Sect still has not sent out a large number of cultivators.

Only the City Lord Lingtian was left to guard the front line.

Can't they see that the Eastern Wilderness Demon Clan is gaining momentum?

With the destruction of the Beihai Yuanmo Sect in the past, aren’t they afraid of repeating the same mistakes?

With so many cultivators gathered together to form the so-called "Suicide Army", who will be the ones to survive in the end - these forces, big or small, or the Mingyuan Sect?
"They can't be thinking of letting us fight the demons, and then stepping out to clean up the mess. They can imitate the Tianyuan Dao Sect and bring the vast East Wasteland under one sect, right?"

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Chen couldn't help but clench his fists quietly.

He glanced inconspicuously at Ling Fengzi who was talking beside him.

Do they know?
Or, have they ever thought about this possibility?

Or maybe he had thought about it, but under the pressure of the holy land, he still had to do it, trying to survive and fight for a chance of survival for his own inheritance?
There was no answer and Luo Chen didn't dare to ask.

After some goodwill gestures, Ling Fengzi finally stopped beating around the bush and stated his request.

Please ask Luo Chen to personally refine a fourth-level elixir for him!
This was expected. The other party asked to see Luo Chen twice when Luo Chen was in seclusion refining the Jiuli Pill for Jiuling Yuanjun.

Luo Chen naturally knew what the other party was thinking.

Especially today, the other party took the initiative to go out of the city to greet him, imitating the Nine Spirits Yuanjun who gave him enough face and helped to enhance his reputation.

But if Luo Chen wants to make the elixir, the price has to be considered.

As for the specific price, Luo Chen had mentioned it back then. With the examples of Fu Lao and Jiuling Yuanjun, as long as one is willing to inquire about it, there is no need for Luo Chen to tell it proactively.

However, Ling Fengzi looked embarrassed.

Luo Chen immediately understood that he was just a poor guy!

But there was no disdain on his face and he was still smiling.

"No hurry, wait until I meet my fellow Taoists in the city first, and then we can discuss it in detail in private."

Ling Fengzi breathed a sigh of relief. The other party's words were very respectful. It seemed that this matter could be accomplished. He couldn't help but feel grateful.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

This is Luo Chen's second time here.

But unlike the previous time, Luo Chen was more relaxed this time.

The few rays of spiritual awareness emanating from it were no longer sharp, but extremely friendly.

As soon as I entered the hall, four figures instantly came into view.

Needless to say, the City Lord Lingtian who is at the top.

The other three are Xiao Shiniang, the lord of the Ancient Fireworks Island, whom she had met once before, Qin Baixiang, the leader of the Hundred Beasts Sect, and Luo Chen's "good friend" Xianhe Zhenren.

This arrangement was very appropriate. Including Ling Fengzi, among the four Nascent Souls who were on patrol duty, either they had a good relationship with him or had something to ask of him. The other two were just casual acquaintances and had no ill will towards him.

Luo Chen's mind turned, he pinched the Ziwu seal with his left hand, held it upright in front of his chest, and lowered his head slightly.

"My fellow Taoists, I am late!"
