Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 807 Luo Tian Bao Pavilion, Sword Scripture Minor Success

A place like Tianxiang Tower must be quite famous in Lingtian Pass.

But Ling Fengzi didn't have the leisure to "catch" Luo Chen, he was really just passing by.

The two met and had a normal chat.

However, seeing Ling Fengzi's slightly strange gaze, Luo Chen still felt guilty.

He made up for it a little.

"I have thoroughly studied your Fengqiao Pill. I should be able to refine it in three months at most."

When he heard that it would only take three months, Ling Fengzi's eyes lit up instantly.

"Okay, okay, three months is just right!"

The word "just right" made Luo Chen a little strange. The other party seemed to be in a hurry to use the Fengqiao Pill.

In response to his doubts, Ling Fengzi explained a few words in a low voice.

"The situation is becoming increasingly tense now."

"As the one who moves freely among the five Yuanying, I have to go out from time to time to inquire about the situation. Some time ago, I went to the Blue Sky Region, but it had been destroyed and occupied by monsters. Even the Blue Sky Mountain was destroyed. I didn't find the presence of Daoist Fellow Qingkong."

Just with this sentence, Luo Chen's expression became serious.

True Man Qingkong was the ancestor of Bikong Mountain. Now that he had lost all his breath, one could imagine what happened to him.

"The terrain of Fire Ridge is complex, and most of the monks are hiding underground. They should be able to hold out for a while."

"The battles in Ba Dao Domain never stop, and it really lives up to its reputation as a tyrant."

"But in my opinion, the fall of Azure Sky Mountain means that the collapse of the three regions has begun. Perhaps it won't be long before we see an army of monsters under the walls of Lingtian Pass."

"In this case, if I can obtain the Fengqiao Pill, I will be able to completely master a great skill of the Piaomiao Sect, and my chances of saving my life will be much better."

"So, thank you for troubling Brother Luo."

After some casual chatting, Ling Fengzi said goodbye and left in a hurry, obviously having other important matters to attend to.

Luo Chen's originally good mood became a little heavy because of this conversation.

Things that used to only exist in letters and intelligence are now so close to him.

He had experienced the battle between humans and demons.

During the war to open up the Howling Moon Mountains, he once led the charge.

But that level is actually quite common for Nascent Soul cultivators.

The battle that really terrified even Nascent Soul cultivators was the scale of the North Sea Demon Clan's attack on the Bingji Sect. The ancient sect that had been passed down since ancient times was destroyed overnight.

And this time, the scale is even bigger!

It is a head-on collision between the millions of mountains in the Eastern Wilderness and the thirty-six realms of the human race’s immortal cultivation world.

The degree of danger must be even greater!

It used to be said that Yuanying Zhenren was extremely difficult to kill. For decades or even hundreds of years, it was rare to hear of a Yuanying master being killed in battle.

In fact, this is true. No one who can cultivate to this level is easy to deal with.

Everyone has a trump card and everyone has means. At worst, you can abandon your physical body and teleport your Nascent Soul thousands of miles away.

Strong men of the same level rarely kill each other, most of them practice on their own, and when they occasionally come and go, they mostly share what they have and exchange their cultivation experiences. Just like Luo Chen's recent life, which seems busy but is actually leisurely.

Unless it is a closed space, such as the Land of Fallen Demons.

Or, there are methods specifically designed to teleport cultivators' Nascent Souls, such as the Qingshuang Demon Emperor's world in his sleeves, the absolute suppression of the Wild Beast Ghost Immortal Tower, and even the suppression and locking of Luo Chen's Hunyuan Ding.

After many battles in the Eastern Wilds, many Nascent Soul Realm warriors died one after another without the Demon King Qingshuang taking action personally. It was obvious that someone else on the demon side had mastered the means to restrain the Nascent Soul's teleportation.

This is the main reason why many Nascent Soul True Immortals in Lingtian Pass, including Luo Chen, do not want to go to the battlefield easily.

Everyone is very confident in themselves, but no one is completely sure of facing the strange talents and abilities of the monsters.

Luo Chen walked and unknowingly arrived at the city wall.

Under the cover of night, the black ape puppet stood quietly behind him, without making a sound.

Luo Chen silently looked at the darkness in the distance, as if there was a giant beast with its mouth wide open, waiting to swallow Lingtian Pass at any time.

"I hope that fellow Daoists from Ba Dao Territory and Huo Ling can hold out for two more years, at least to make it through my three-year patrol mission."

"As long as we don't run into the first wave of monster attacks, many things will be easier to deal with."

Luo Chen thought so.

It's a bit selfish, but that's how the world of immortals is. I would rather my fellow Taoist die than let myself die.

He stayed on the city wall for a while and then went back.

The black ape puppet silently entered a city tower, holding a big soul pill in its mouth, and slowly refined it.

……

Just as Luo Chen told Ling Fengzi, the recipe for the elixir called Fengqiao Dan had already been thoroughly studied by the Red Dog Puppet, who was familiar with it.

This is a somewhat special fourth-level elixir!

Its function is not to increase magic power or improve realm, but to open a new orifice in the human body.

Its name is Cangfengqiao!
That acupoint cannot be used to store magic power, but it is used to store wind, and it will draw the magic power of the whole body to rush through it again and again.

The Fengqiao Pill not only opens up the Zangfengqiao, but also stabilizes the Zangfengqiao with the pill as the core.

After studying it thoroughly, Luo Chen vaguely understood what method Ling Fengzi was going to practice.

Similar to refining the original true fire, the other party should want to borrow the wind-hiding acupoint to refine some kind of pure wind, which can be said to be the original true wind.

It’s just that fire has seeds, but wind is invisible. The Qi Hai Zi Fu can carry the fire seeds, but cannot lock the invisible wind, so a new orifice needs to be opened.

If the other party can really achieve this, then his abilities may see a qualitative improvement.

Just like when Luo Chen refined the Withering and Flourishing True Fire, he was able to reach a higher level in both refining pills and weapons, as well as fighting enemies.

Since it was about the other party's means of saving his life, Luo Chen did not delay any further this time.

After returning, he immediately started to refine the elixir.

Three months is the conservative time he gave.

In fact, two months later, Luo Chen succeeded in making one furnace and obtained nine Fengqiao Pills.

At this point, he can report back.

But Luo Chen felt excited, so he simply put the remaining two materials into the Hunyuan Ding for refining.

Unexpectedly, he succeeded in another furnace and obtained nine Fengqiao Pills.

Eighteen in total!

When Ling Fengzi came, Luo Chen gave him nine. The other party was overjoyed without knowing the truth.

He said that Luo Chen's alchemy skills were the best in ancient and modern times!
The ancestors of Piaomiao Sect also refined Fengqiao Pills before, but the best time they produced only five pills in one furnace.

This time, he only asked for one.

He never expected that Luo Chen actually gave him nine Fengqiao Pills.

Luo Chen smiled and said that he was lucky and the feeling was coming.

Ling Fengzi certainly didn't believe it, so after returning, he reported to City Lord Lingtian that he needed to go into seclusion for a period of time and would come out in half a year at the latest. He also hoped that no one would be sent to disturb him during this half year.

Lingtian City Lord agreed.

However, when the news of Ling Fengzi's brief retreat reached the ears of other Nascent Soul cultivators, it had a different meaning.

That meant that the elixir he had always dreamed of was refined by Luo Chen.

In this way, the name of Luo Chen Dan Zong became even more famous.

More and more visiting cards came to him, and the realms of those who came to see him were getting higher and higher.

Xu Xiaoliu, the temporary doorman, was happy at first, but later on he could not stand the momentum of those big shots, no matter how well they restrained themselves or how amiable they behaved.

After all, the realm gap is too big and the Foundation Establishment Realm cannot bear it.

In the end, Fairy Jueqing replaced Xu Xiaoliu and temporarily became Luo Chen's doorman, receiving visiting cards and visitors for him.

Unfortunately, to everyone's disappointment, Luo Chen did not agree to make pills for anyone next.

The news he released was that when he was refining pills for his fellow practitioners, he suddenly felt that he had made a new breakthrough in alchemy and wanted to meditate on it for a while.

In this way, it will be difficult for others to force you.

After all, the stronger Luo Chen’s alchemy skills are, the higher his success rate will be when he agrees to make pills for them in the future.

In fact, the truth is naturally not like this.

There is no doubt that Luo Chen's alchemy skills have improved. He used to be a genuine fourth-level alchemist, and he even refined a fifth-level derivative pill in the Fallen Demon Land!
But even though he had refined a fifth-grade elixir, he had not yet reached the level of a fifth-grade alchemist.

To put it bluntly, it was luck, and I relied on the power of the system.

However, as Luo Chen successively refined large quantities of Anti-Poison Pills, Hongyuan Pills, and Great Soul Pills, as well as successfully refined Infant-Forming Pills, Jiuli Pills, and Fengqiao Pills, a large number of fourth-level pills of different styles and varying difficulties, his level as a fourth-level alchemist was no longer inflated.

Even without relying on the entry-level system, as long as he is given enough time, he will be able to refine any kind of fourth-level elixir.

At this point, the name of Danzong is well-deserved!

A big reason why Luo Chen no longer accepted alchemy commissions was because he was influenced by Ling Fengzi's words.

He asked his men to collect a large amount of intelligence, all of which indicated that the situation was becoming increasingly deteriorating.

In this case, continuing to gain fame is good for the future, but it does not improve the present much. People, after all, have to rely on themselves.

So, he also began to retreat.

The Chixiao sword energy was refined into one strand every six months. Even though there was some delay due to some things, he had unknowingly refined eight strands.

He wanted to refine the two strands as quickly as possible in the remaining time and reach the minor success stage.

At the same time, the polishing of the realm is about to be perfected, just one step away.

All of this requires a relatively quiet environment that does not allow for any distractions.

……

During the time Luo Chen was in seclusion, everything in the world was still functioning.

With the promotion of Li Yingzhang, the cooperation with Tianyuan Business Alliance began to take the first step.

Inside Lingtian Pass, at the address originally selected by Tianyuan Business Alliance, a new high-rise building has sprung up, and even a sign has been hung up.

Its name is [Luo Tianbao Pavilion].

When outsiders saw it, they knew it was the property of Luo Tianzong, and they also knew it was the property of Luo Chen of Danzong. Moreover, because of the special address, many people speculated that it was related to Tianyuan Business Alliance.

However, the business of Luo Tianbao Pavilion did not make much noise at the beginning.

The various resources sold are only for low-level cultivators, and even the business of Jindan cultivators is rarely involved.

This decision came from Li Yingzhang.

He was more cautious than Luo Chen. He was worried about opposition from the City Lord's Mansion and suppression from other established sects, so he didn't want to take big steps.

Even among the many tasks entrusted by the Tianyuan Business Alliance, he only chose to purchase the corpses of monsters.

Many forces within Lingtian Pass are doing this kind of business, so Luotian Sect is not very conspicuous.

Gu Zuokai was a little dissatisfied, but he could also understand Luo Tianzong's caution, so he had to do it step by step.

They provided the funds and venue, Luo Tianzong provided the manpower, and slowly the framework was set up.

The low-level cultivators in the city were also very respectful. Perhaps because they admired the name of Luo Chen Dan Zong, or perhaps because they were grateful for the gentlemanly style that many powerful people talked about, they also began to trade some of the corpses of captured monsters to Luo Tian Zong.

Even if it is only a part of it, it is still a stable income for the currently small Luotian Sect.

……

Another year later.

There is only about half a year left before Luo Chen’s three-year term ends.

Outside Luo Chen's cave residence, the monks from the Luotian Sect who lived around him were gathered together, chatting about matters big and small.

The most discussed topic is who will return to the clan and who will stay after their term of office ends.

Due to the establishment of Luo Tianbao Pavilion, we are currently short of manpower.

The sect provided a part of the funds, and even the old sect leader Sima Hui Niang came to Luo Tianbao Pavilion in person to take charge of the situation, but it was obviously not enough.

Therefore, a part of the disciples who are performing patrol duties will be selected next.

Fairy Jueqing was also in this meeting. She was cold and spoke little, but she did not look out of place.

Her previous initiative to show goodwill has made many people accept her.

In the eyes of Zeng Yilong and others, Fairy Jueqing is just the same as Yang Ping before. As long as they enter the sect, everyone will be a family.

From now on, we will support each other and move forward together.

What's more, Fairy Jueqing is also a strong person. Her strength at the sixth level of Golden Core is a great supplement to the current Luotian Sect.

Just as everyone was chatting, Fairy Jueqing suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?" Zeng Yilong asked curiously.

Fairy Jueqing felt it carefully and sat back down.

He said it was nothing, but he was actually confused and uncertain.

Just at that moment, she had a vague feeling of fear, as if something very dangerous had appeared.

But it was gone in a blink of an eye.

"Is it from his side?"

Dongfuzhong.

Luo Chen looked at the Yuan Tu sword lying across his knees with great interest.

As soon as he thought of it, a stream of red sword energy emanated from the sword.

Although it is just one strand, in fact, it is a fusion of ten strands of Chixiao sword energy, and he can separate it as long as he wants.

"With the blessing of Yuan Tu, this ray of sword energy will kill anyone who touches the golden elixir."

"If a whole force is sent out, a Nascent Soul expert will be caught off guard and will be injured."

It doesn't sound very good.

Compared with the Qingyang Great Handprint, Fire Phoenix Blazing the Prairie, and even the Withering and Flourishing Dao Index, they are far inferior.

But which of those methods mentioned above was not a spell that Luo Chen had practiced for decades or even hundreds of years?

The withering and flourishing Dao Index is even more mysterious. It originates from the withering and flourishing true fire and involves the true meaning of the laws. They cannot be compared.

But it only took Luo Chen five years to create these ten strands of sword energy.

Moreover, this is only the minor success stage of the "Thousands of Swords". In theory, it is only effective for those who have reached the Golden Core stage.

The reason why Luo Chen predicted that the sword could injure Nascent Soul cultivators was also because of the blessing of the Yuan Tu Sword.

If he could cultivate to the intermediate stage later and refine hundreds of strands of Scarlet Sky Sword Qi, he would surely be able to threaten or even kill a Nascent Soul cultivator!
The most important thing is that this method does not require charging in advance, nor does it require drawing on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It can be released suddenly, making it impossible to defend against!

Luo Chen was very satisfied with the power.

But he is obviously more concerned about more than just this.

With a thought, the property panel suddenly expanded.

In the column of skills, the proficiency of "Thousands of Sword Qi" was promoted from the entry level to the proficient level.

Not only that, Luo Chen could feel that the speed at which he would refine the Red Sky Qi next time would also increase greatly. It would no longer be one strand every half a year as before, but would be even faster.

As for how much faster it can be, he hasn't had time to experiment.

"It's just as I expected!"

Luo Chen was quite excited.

The original sword manual recorded that it would take at least fifty years to reach the intermediate stage of one hundred strands, and at least five hundred years to reach the advanced stage of one thousand strands.

But with the help of the proficiency panel, he can greatly shorten this time.

Perhaps it won’t be long before he can master an additional powerful skill!

Apparently, there was more than one surprise.

Luo Chen looked up.

There was a slight change in that realm column.

[Nascent Soul Level 80 100/]

His realm was finally stabilized!
The vital energy of heaven and earth absorbed when comprehending the true meaning of the law was completely refined by it, and its impetuousness was quenched.

It shouldn't have been so fast, but when constantly tempering the Chixiao sword energy, Luo Chen discovered that it had a significant auxiliary effect on the pure magic power.

Coupled with the withering and flourishing true fire that burned day and night, it only took him five years to completely stabilize his realm.

"Let me give it a try!"

Luo Chen quietly left the cave.

The black ape puppet, which was in tune with his mind, was already prepared and opened the door for him. Without anyone knowing, Luo Chen left Lingtian Pass.

The area within hundreds of miles of Lingtian Pass has been cleared.

Luo Chen found a secluded place and began to perform his spells.

Just as he thought, after his realm was stabilized, not only was the power of these spells enhanced when he cast them again, but most importantly, he could achieve the same perfect control as before.

The fluctuations of mana that leaked out from time to time in his early years can also be perfectly restrained.

His temperament was no longer sharp, but gradually faded away, becoming profound and majestic, which was more in line with his demeanor as an alchemist.

Standing in front of a huge pit.

Luo Chen was filled with joy. He stretched his spiritual sense to the maximum while thinking about the next arrangements.

"In this way, the cultivation that was stopped before can be resumed, and we can strive to break through the middle stage of Yuanying as soon as possible."

"The large amount of high-quality Hongyuan Pills I saved finally found a use for them."

"There is still more than half a year left in Lingtian Pass's fourth-level middle-grade cave. We can't waste it and must make use of it!"

After some planning, Luo Chen prepared to go home.

At this moment, Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.

Without thinking, he tested the limit distance of his spiritual sense and began to frantically retract it.
