Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 802: Ice Castle is ruthless, I have seen the real person

Luo Chen's arrival eased the tense atmosphere of preparation for war in Lingtian Pass.

At this time, all resources are in short supply, and resources like elixirs that can quickly improve the cultivation level of cultivators are even more sought after.

There used to be a Yaowang Sect in Donghuang, but it was destroyed.

High-level alchemists were either secretly absorbed by large sects or were unable to take care of themselves, and a vacuum appeared in the market for a while.

The appearance of Luo Chen did fill this vacuum.

This is also the main reason why he became famous in a short period of time.

Therefore, Lingtian Pass’s arrangements for Luo Chen were very favorable.

Among the five Yuanyings, Qin Baixiang of the Hundred Beasts Sect was placed at the front, facing the far east, which was also the position where the army of monsters was most likely to attack.

Xiao Shiniang and Xianhe Zhenren were on the left and right, thousands of miles apart, guarding the front direction.

Luo Chen's patrol area was arranged in the relatively rear western direction, and the pressure he would face was probably only from some idle demon teams.

Ling Fengzi is famous for his speed of escape and is a mobile force ready to be deployed at any time.

It is said that he was occasionally sent out to investigate the situation at the front line.

That’s the general arrangement.

That day, Luo Chen went to the cave that Lingtian City Lord had arranged for him.

“This is where I’m going to live for the next three years!”

Luo Chen walked out of the training room, feeling quite emotional.

It has been a while since he enjoyed the cultivation environment of a fourth-level spiritual vein.

There is no shortage of such caves in Lingtian Pass.

Rumor has it that when it was founded, a group of Nascent Soul powerhouses moved mountains and seas and migrated here from some lost domains.

If a fierce battle really breaks out in the future, the cave at Lingtian Pass can also support the needs of a group of Nascent Soul powerhouses for recuperation and restoration of their magic power.

"As long as you are satisfied, fellow Daoist, this cave is inside the city and is second only to the City Lord's Mansion." Ling Fengzi said.

Luo Chen blinked.

No wonder!
He just felt that the spiritual energy in the cave was extremely abundant, which was far inferior to the Longyuan Island where he lived before, and the Cave No. 78 where he stayed briefly in Tiandi Peak.

It seems that City Lord Lingtian really cares about his arrangements.

Seeing that Luo Chen was satisfied, Ling Fengzi couldn't help himself.

"I heard that Daoist Fellow Jiu Ling has already obtained the elixir he wanted. It seems that the rumors are true. Daoist Fellow's attainments in alchemy are truly extraordinary!"

Luo Chen smiled casually, "Thank you so much, it's already this time, there's no need to beat around the bush, what kind of elixir do you want to refine, why not tell me about it."

Ling Fengzi's expression lit up with joy, and he took out a pill recipe without hesitation.

Unlike Jiuling Yuanjun who did not hesitate, he handed it directly to Luo Chen.

"This pill involves a life-saving method of mine. If you can make it for me, I will be very grateful."

Luo Chen waved his hand and didn't say anything big. Instead, he looked down and examined it carefully.

Ling Fengzi didn't dare to disturb him and just waited quietly for the other party's response.

For Luo Chen, carefully looking at the pill recipe is just a common thing.

But after about an hour, I had an idea in my mind.

"I can refine this pill."

As soon as the words came out, Ling Fengzi's eyes lit up.

"However, you will need to provide the materials yourself."

Ling Fengzi nodded repeatedly, "This is reasonable. It is a kind act for you to be willing to make pills for me. How can I let you bear the cost?"

Luo Chen smiled and said, "As for the price?"

Just like before, Ling Fengzi was in trouble again.

He knew very well that it was very friendly for others to be willing to help in refining the elixir these days.

But it takes a lot of energy and a lot of time to refine the elixir, which is a luxury for these Nascent Soul cultivators who value every second.

Remuneration is a must!
But he is poor!

He remembered clearly the three conditions proposed by Luo Chen at the Infant Formation Ceremony.

But whether it was the Chi Xiao Qi or various pill recipes, he didn't collect much.

I do have some body-refining methods, but their quality is not very high, and I’m afraid the other party won’t take them seriously.

Gritting his teeth, Ling Fengzi said, "I can pay three hundred high-grade spirit stones."

Three hundred high-quality spirit stones?

That is just three million low-grade spirit stones. Under the current situation, high-grade spirit stones have the attributes of strategic resources, which is still acceptable.

But, not enough!

Luo Chen looked unmoved.

Ling Fengzi continued, "I have a few ancient body-refining methods here, which are around the third level."

The third level of body refining method is too low.

Luo Chen still looked at the other person with a smile.

Ling Fengzi thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "I can also give you a fourth-level Nine Nether Charm Python tendon. This beast is extremely powerful. It took me and several fellow Taoists to kill it with great difficulty. Its tendons are excellent casting materials. If you can get them..."

Luo Chen sighed, "Ling Fengzi, you know very well that these things are of no use to me. On the contrary, if I have to spend a year or two refining pills for you, the loss to me would be incalculable. Do you think these conditions can buy a year of precious time for a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Ling Fengzi's expression froze.

If you really want to ask whether the things he took out can persuade a Nascent Soul cultivator, then in fact, it can.

But that only applies if the other party needs these things.

Moreover, the application period is one year long!
Seeing him in a dilemma, Luo Chen suddenly said, "But I have always been kind to others and I don't like seeing fellow Taoists in trouble. If you can agree to the next condition, then even if it takes me a year or two to refine the elixir for you, it's not impossible."

"What conditions?" Ling Fengzi blurted out.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "It's very simple. If you have a chance in the future, just help me once, or if you see my disciples in trouble, you can take the initiative to help them. Don't worry, the scope of my attack will not be a situation where you will die, and put you in a difficult situation."

Ling Fengzi's expression changed from initial embarrassment and hesitation to joy, all in the blink of an eye, just because of Luo Chen's words.

He clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"

He was truly grateful to Luo Chen.

It is not uncommon for a Yuanying Zhenren to help others.

Moreover, Luo Chen also specifically stated that it would not be a very dangerous thing, so for him, it would probably be the icing on the cake.

Danzong is really kind!

Jiuling Yuanjun was right, Luo Chen was indeed a gentleman.

After leaving the relevant raw materials and the trivial rewards mentioned earlier, Ling Fengzi left happily.

Luo Chen first put away the raw materials, and then counted the compensation given by the other party.

Three hundred high-quality spirit stones are really a bit shabby for a Nascent Soul True Person.

But now is an extraordinary time, and the uses of high-quality spirit stones are too numerous, so the consumption naturally increases greatly.

Maybe this is the last batch of spirit stones the other party has.

Luo Chen put it away carefully, he was also short of spirit stones now!
"Perhaps I can take a batch of low-level elixirs and sell them to earn some spirit stones? By the way, I can also increase the favorability of those low-level casual cultivators towards me?"

"But I have to study how to sell it. If it's an auction where the highest bidder wins, then others won't be grateful to me and will just think that they deserve it because they spent a lot of money."

Luo Chen thought about it carefully, and many ideas popped up in his mind.

His hands moved quickly, and he checked other things at the same time.

The tendons of the Nine Netherworld Python!
It has rich blood energy and tough texture, and is indeed a rare fourth-level material.

"Now we have the core material for Caiyi's life magic weapon!"

Then there were several third-level body-refining methods. Luo Chen took a quick look at them and became interested.

"All of them are about speed. No wonder Piao Miao Sect specially collected these things. Their sect is famous for its speed of escape."

"Although the grade is not high, it is complete without any omissions."

"Send someone to take these books back and give them to Wang Yuan for research. Maybe he can complete the last two moves of "Wind, Moon, Thunder and Cloud on the Immortal Path"."

After an inspection, Luo Chen was quite satisfied.

Although the overall value of these things is not too high, far less than the large amount of Red Sky Qi that Jiuling Yuanjun took out, and the pill formula and talisman skin given by Fu Lao, but they are all useful things to him.

Moreover, he got a promise from the other party.

Luo Chen didn't make a loss in this deal.

……

After a short rest, Luo Chen began his formal patrol mission the next day.

In fact, for a Yuanying Zhenren, there is no need to do many things personally.

The Luotian Sect monks he brought with him reunited with those monks who were forced to stay in the city, and with Luotian monk in the lead, they began to deploy defenses in the west.

Inspect the formations in the city, inspect the city walls, and form teams to patrol within a hundred miles of Lingtian Pass. That's basically it.

There is actually only one mission for Yuanying Zhenren.

He would release his spiritual sense from time to time to explore in one direction to prevent the top monsters from forcibly breaking through Lingtian Pass.

As long as they notice it and inform the people in the city, once the Lingtian Pass formation is activated, even a late fourth-order transformed monster will not be able to get in.

Luo Chen also has a concern about this.

When he was in the City Lord's Mansion, he asked directly. "There is a demon king named Qingshuang, whose true form is the divine bird Qingluan, and who masters the laws of space. If she descends, can Lingtian Pass stop her?"

This question received an affirmative answer from City Lord Lingtian.

"I'm just afraid she won't come!"

Only then did Luo Chen’s worries subside.

The battle record of the Qingshuang Demon Emperor was really too terrifying. He defeated five Nascent Souls in an instant, fought against three great monks, and could even hold out for a while against a powerful God Transformation cultivator.

If there is no way to restrain such an existence, then Lingtian Pass, which is known as the eternal majestic city of East Wilderness, will be an extremely fragile piece of white paper.

Of course, he was also curious about what method could be used to restrain the Qingshuang Demon King.

Unfortunately, City Lord Lingtian kept it a secret and said that he would not use it easily until he met the real person. Luo Chen had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.

……

After scanning with his spiritual sense, Luo Chen calmed himself down.

After becoming familiar with the patrol mission, he realized the trouble inside.

You have to release your spiritual consciousness from time to time. For a Yuanying Zhenren, the consumption is not that big, but it is easy to be distracted.

Whether it is practicing or doing things, it is very inconvenient.

"But this matter is not a problem for me."

With a slight smile, Luo Chen took out two puppets from his storage ring.

It’s the Black Ape and the Red Dog!
The two souls sank into the two puppets.

Luo Chen gave the order, and the black ape flew out and headed towards the city wall of Lingtian Pass.

The consciousness of the split soul is slightly weaker, but it is also as strong as that of a normal cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage. Its efficiency in detecting day and night will be even higher.

Luo Chen did not leave the remaining Chigou puppet idle, and directly handed Ling Fengzi's pill recipe to Chigou.

Although this pill recipe is also of the fourth level, it is actually not difficult to refine.

It is far inferior to the Infant Forming Pill and the Jiuli Pill, and is even slightly inferior to the Transformation Pill.

In Luo Chen's opinion, the difficulty of refining it is probably slightly higher than that of the Fourth-Level Black Emperor Ointment, and similar to the Purple Qi Anti-Poison Pill.

Ling Fengzi hadn't been able to refine it before, probably because he was short of money and no one was willing to refine it for him!

With this level of difficulty, Luo Chen doesn't even need to consume system achievement points.

Let the split soul study it carefully first, and after it becomes familiar with it, the main body can start refining it directly.

In this way, I will have some free time.

But how can Luo Chen have free time?
A wisp of sword energy burst out from the fingertips.

"I have already refined seven strands of Scarlet Sky Sword Qi. Three years should be enough for me to refine three more strands."

"Once I reach ten strands, I will reach a minor success in the sword sutra. For my proficiency panel, it will also be a small breakthrough. Perhaps, I will be able to see additional changes."

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

At the same time, the tendon of the Nine Netherworld Python also appeared in his hand.

"Cai Yi wants a flying sleeve or a streamer or a long whip as her life-defining magic weapon. This material is very suitable and the properties are no problem."

"The only thing I lack is the blueprint for refining this kind of magic weapon."

"I have to go around and see if other people have the corresponding blueprints. If I can get them, it would be a good thing to take the time out in these three years to refine Caiyi's life magic weapon."

In just a short moment, Luo Chen had already planned his three years at Lingtian Pass.

It must be said that the "Soul-Splitting Technique" left by Han Zhan really helped him a lot.

If he hadn't had the split soul, how could he be facing so many problems now and still be able to handle them with ease.

It is estimated that he can only focus all his energy on a single practice like the ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

……

Just as countless cultivators at Lingtian Pass thought at the beginning, Dan Zong had disappeared like a dragon since he came into the city.

That trip into the city became the only chance to meet.

But this does not mean that Danzong has lost its presence!

There is a rumor that Sha Longzi, the leader of the younger generation of the Luotian Sect, has a large number of elixirs in his hands!

These pills were personally refined by Luo Chen from the Dan Sect and given to Sha Longzi.

It contains third-grade elixirs from the Qi Refining to the Golden Core Stage, and has a wide range of uses, including cultivation elixirs, auxiliary elixirs, and even the rarest realm-breaking elixirs.

As long as Sha Longzi agrees, you can exchange the required elixirs from him at a relatively suitable price.

But if he doesn't agree, no matter how high the price is, you can't get one!
For a time, many monks, after resting, went to Xicheng District to meet Sha Longzi.

Some people who had no connections even started to make friends with other cultivators of Luotian Sect, trying to get introductions to contact Sha Longzi.

As a result, the dozens of cultivators of Luotian Sect gradually received different treatments in Lingtian Pass.

When traveling, call friends and drink together.

When patrolling, other teams of monks often keep in close contact to prevent them from falling into extremely dangerous areas.

Maybe that sounds a bit exaggerated.

But that's the fact. Even if no one is asking for elixirs, no one wants to offend the monks of Luotian Sect.

Everyone would try to make themselves familiar with others and establish good relationships.

This is the situation that Luo Chen wants to see.

He initially wanted to use a large number of low-level elixirs to enhance his reputation and status among the independent cultivators.

But after thinking about it carefully, he found that this kind of thing didn't really benefit him much.

Those low-level monks were of little help to him.

On the contrary, if he could rely on his own reputation and the benefits of elixirs to help his disciples build more connections, the benefits would be even greater.

In this situation, if we follow previous examples, it would probably be the same as the cultivators from Qingdan Valley and Yaowang Sect in the past, who would often be treated with courtesy whenever they went out.

Because they have the support of the sect and Luo Chen, they are respected and treated with courtesy by everyone.

After explaining this matter, Luo Chen didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, he handed the matter over to Zeng Yilong, and at the same time fulfilled Wang Yuan's intention of teaching, so that Zeng Yilong could learn to distinguish the good and bad in people's hearts through a large number of interpersonal interactions, so as not to be bewitched by a woman like he was on the fighting stage.

This day.

Luo Chen had just returned from the City Lord's Mansion with a relaxed look on his face.

City Lord Lingtian is indeed a good person!

When he "accidentally" mentioned that he had a Nine-Phantom Python tendon but had no corresponding method of using it, the other party very generously gave him a refining blueprint.

It records a method for refining a magic weapon called "Xuanming Whip".

The most important main materials needed are the tendons of dragon and python monsters, as well as the Ming water unique to the Mingyuan School.

Once you really master this treasure, not only will it be extremely powerful and able to corrode the enemy's magic weapons, you can even temporarily transform into Dajin's original appearance when he was alive. It is truly amazing.

For this purpose, City Lord Lingtian also gave Luo Chen three drops of Ming Water so that he could dilute it for use.

“No wonder City Lord Lingtian has such an excellent reputation. He is so generous!”

"Compared to him, I sometimes seem petty."

As Luo Chen sighed, he couldn't wait to study the drawings of the "Xuanming Whip".

But when he returned to the cave, he was surprised to find the white-haired Xu Xiaoliu standing outside the cave, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

"Grand Elder, someone wants to see you."

"For the elixir?"

Luo Chen asked habitually. Recently, many people wanted to ask him to make pills. Among them, some Nascent Soul forces sent their disciples to contact and test him.

However, most of them are looking for Chu Kui and Zeng Yilong.

It is very rare to find someone with the same relationship as Xu Xiaoliu.

If something is rare, it must be different.

really!

Xu Xiaoliu whispered, "It's not for the elixir, but I want you to save me."

save people?

Luo Chen paused.

After a while.

Luo Chen stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for someone to come.

There were footsteps heard outside the mansion.

There was a familiar face in his consciousness.

He was still as cold and distant as ever, but the arrogance he once had was long gone.

The footsteps gradually slowed down until Xu Xiaoliu respectfully opened the door for the visitor.

The figure hesitated at the door for a moment, then took a deep breath and strode in.

When the visitor saw Luo Chen's back, his pupils shrank.

Then, she gritted her teeth, lifted her skirt, and knelt on the ground.

"Ice Castle is heartless. I'm honored to meet Master Luo!"
