Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 811: Fame spreads, and the final affairs are entrusted

The battle outside the city lasted less than a day.

The beast tide is coming with great force, but aren’t the death-defying troops in Lingtian Pass also on high alert?

In the absence of a powerful demon king-level commander, Qin Baixiang, stationed in East City, the battle between his monks and the demon beasts was a one-sided massacre.

If the six-winged golden cicada named Anming had not reappeared later and led the crowd away, I am afraid that the direct troops led by the Seven Rhinos would have been completely destroyed outside Lingtian Pass.

"Great victory! Great victory!"

"The beast tide has receded!"

Luo Chen walked on the wide streets in the city, and in his ears he could hear the excited cheers of the monks as they ran.

He watched the scene in silence, and his footsteps finally stopped between a group of buildings covered with green tiles and red glazed tiles.

I looked up at the plaque on the tall building in front of me.

【Luotianbao Pavilion】

"Guest, do you want to..."

The Luotian Sect monk standing at the door had been carefully trained and was quite enthusiastic. He immediately came over to greet them.

But after seeing Luo Chen's appearance, he reacted instantly.

"See the Supreme Elder!"

"Yeah." Luo Chen nodded, didn't ask anything, and walked straight in.

In his spiritual perception, Sima Huiniang was busy in the backyard.

As Luo Chen walked inside, he looked at the empty treasure pavilion.

It’s empty now, but it will probably become lively soon.

There were hurried footsteps coming. Sima Hui Niang got the news and quickly put down what she was doing. When she saw Luo Chen, her eyes lit up.

"Ruoqi, you go down first!"

The female cultivator who followed closely beside him bowed respectfully to Luo Chen and then retreated obediently.

Luo Chen looked at the back of the female cultivator. She was one of the younger generations of Luo Tian Sect that he was more familiar with.

He had already made his mark when the war began, leaving some impression on him.

After so many years, although he has not yet been promoted to the Golden Core Stage, he has reached a decent late Foundation Establishment stage.

He is considered a rare talent in Luo Tian Sect.

"You accepted Mei Ruoqi as your apprentice?"

"I have nothing to do, and you don't allow me to practice, so I thought of taking a few disciples to train them well." Hui Niang smiled gently and said, "Ruoqi is a very outstanding junior in the sect. I brought her to Luotianbao Pavilion to let her experience some skills and make more connections."

Having said that, Sima Huiniang suddenly sighed.

"If Caiyi's apprentice hadn't died, she would be the most suitable person to be the manager of Luotianbao Pavilion."

Gu Caiyi only accepted one apprentice in her life.

That’s Yuan Xiaoyue!

A young girl whom Luo Chen took special care of in Dahefang in his early years, and later she specially became Gu Caiyi's disciple.

At that time, Luotian Sect was not yet Luotian Sect, but Luotian Association. The one involved in foreign business dealings was the Golden Palace.

Yuan Xiaoyue started working in the Golden Palace very early on to share the pressure with Gu Caiyi.

As far as I can remember, she had successfully established her foundation.

But after Luo Chen returned to the Eastern Wilderness, all he saw was a trivial entry in the "Luo Tian Chronicle" - "died in the west of Lake Tai."

Lake Tai is a rare large water area among the thirty-six areas of the Eastern Wilderness.

When the demon beast army came out from the Million Mountains, this place was besieged by several water demon kings. There was no way to go up to the sky and no way to enter the earth. Countless cultivators desperately ran away, but only a few were able to escape successfully.

The Taihu Palace, the Yuanying Sect of the Taihu Region, was destroyed in that battle.

The tendon of the Nine Nether Charm Python, which Luo Chen had used to refine the magic weapon, was also one of the spoils of that battle.

It is conceivable how fierce the battle would be if even the Nascent Soul Demon King died.

Yuan Xiaoyue was originally sent there to work, but she failed to retreat in time and eventually died in Lake Tai.

Thinking of the old friend, Luo Chen's expression became somewhat gloomy.

Seeing this, Sima Hui Niang changed the subject and asked, "I heard before that the eight demon kings attacked the four gates of Lingtian Pass, and there were two people at each gate. Although there is only one person on your side, it is said that he is second only to the Seven Rhinoceros Commander. Even the Lord of Lingtian City activated the formation and did not stop him?"

"It is true." Luo Chen nodded, then frowned slightly, "Does this news spread so quickly?"

Sima Hui Niang looked at Luo Chen and replied, "News is circulated in the city, and major events are almost kept secret. My husband, are you okay?"

Luo Chen knew that Hui Niang was worried about him, so he said a few words to comfort her.

But something still felt wrong in my mind.

Yes, messages are transmitted between monks very quickly.

But when it comes to battles at the Nascent Soul stage, low-level cultivators may not be able to distinguish them so clearly.

It is not easy to describe the strength of Thunder Prison Divine Peng so clearly.

Who is secretly passing on these messages?
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Although I have a place to rely on now, I've also seen the brutality of monsters. My husband, you must be careful when you fight!"

"Ah."

Luo Chen shook his head and temporarily suppressed his doubts.

"I came here today to give you some advice."

"You said."

"After the war, there must be a lot of monster corpses. We accepted the commission from Tianyuan Merchant Alliance to purchase monster corpses for them. But there are many people doing this business in the city. Luotianbao Pavilion is too greedy and it is easy to offend those old forces in the East Wilderness. You should be careful and don't be greedy and take too much share."

"Yes, I understand."

"Also, take some of the high-quality flesh and blood from the corpses of the monsters you purchased and send them to Wang Yuan. He is just one step away from reaching the fourth level of physical refinement, the flawless golden body, and he really needs a lot of high-quality flesh and blood."

"I've made note of it. Please prepare a copy for Xiaolong as well!"

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, thinking that he should prepare one for Zeng Yilong as well.

After reaching the third level in body training, it becomes fundamentally different from the practice of Qi training by cultivators.

The third realm is called the Baking Furnace Realm.

This baking furnace evolved from the sea of ​​​​qi.

Not only can it store a large amount of qi, but it can also madly refine the energy in the flesh and blood and use it for itself.

The main reason why Wang Yuan reached the peak of the third level of body refining in just a hundred years, and was even able to briefly compete with the fourth-level Demon King and the real weapon of the Nascent Soul cultivator, was that he refined the flesh and blood of many monsters during these hundred years.

Zeng Yilong is currently in the early stage of the Furnace Stage and is in great need of high-quality blood food.

"You guys seem to be very fond of him!" Luo Chen teased.

Sima Hui Niang stroked her hair and said with a smile, "We, the older generation, have watched Xiaolong grow up since he was a child. He is almost the same as our own children. It is only natural to treat him better."

In the speech, the words "our own children" were emphasized.

Luo Chen's face froze, but he did not avoid the topic. Instead, he said softly, "Given the current situation, it is not the right time yet."

Just at this moment, the jade pendant hanging around the waist began to glow.

"The city lord has something to do. Please prepare a quiet room for me."

"Come to the backyard. My residence is the quietest and safest."

Sima Hui Niang took Luo Chen to a room in the backyard, and after Luo Chen went in, she personally closed the door for him.

But after Luo Chen entered, her face showed a hint of resentment.

She wants a baby!
……

inside the house.

Luo Chen's spiritual consciousness was invested in the jade token specially made for Yuanying Zhenren by Lingtianguan, and his whole body was instantly covered with a dark light.

In the dark light, figures emerged one after another.

The one in the middle is the Lord of Lingtian City.

Then there is Xiao Shiniang.

A cough was heard, and the soul projection of Master Xianhe also appeared.

Luo Chen looked closely and found that Master Xianhe's spirit seemed a little weak, obviously he was injured.

"Fellow Daoist Xianhe?"

Xianhe Zhenren laughed bitterly, "The two demon kings who joined forces to deal with me, one of them was a lightless beast, proficient in the art of killing ghosts with poison. One careless move led to a loss, but fortunately the city lord rescued him in time."

Hearing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

The lightless beast can turn day into night when its true form unfolds.

Being in it, the phantom is invisible and can hurt people's souls. It is one of the biggest enemies of cultivators.

Xianhe Zhenren's words were neither light nor heavy, but one can imagine how difficult the other party's situation was at that time.

Xiao Shiniang also sighed, "It's not easy for me either. If I hadn't activated my life tool in time, combined with my Nascent Soul Realm, and released my Smoky Mist Realm, I'm afraid that Qianlu Howling Bug would have been enough to kill me."

Having said that, she couldn't help but look at Luo Chen, marveling at him.

"Although there is only one enemy on your side, that big peng bird seems to have the bloodline of the ancient wild beast Thunder Peng, and its realm is very high. I didn't expect that fellow Luo Daoist was completely unscathed. It really is true that the real person does not show his true colors!" Luo Chen said calmly, "It's not my ability, it's just that the opponent didn't use his full strength."

Even though he said so, Xiao Shiniang looked unconvinced.

It is said that when Dan Zong first returned to Donghuang, he destroyed the old ghost Motian’s natal weapon with one blow.

Although it was rumored that the old ghost Motian lent the real weapon privately to a young Jindan, so that it could not be controlled in time and was taken advantage of by Luo Chen.

But considering yesterday's battle situation, Luo Chen's ability may have been greatly underestimated.

Or maybe it was not that his ability was underestimated, but that his attainments in alchemy were too high, overshadowing his extraordinary skills!

Luo Chen didn't want to continue this topic and looked at City Lord Lingtian.

"Call us together, what's the urgent matter, City Lord?"

The Lingtian Jade Plate can make use of the large formation in Lingtian Pass to connect to the spiritual consciousness of the Yuanying Zhenren in the city, and even derive projections, making it convenient for everyone to quickly transmit information.

However, when activating this jade token, the cultivator needs to inject his spiritual consciousness into it, and his own protective ability is greatly reduced.

Unless there is something urgent, the function of this jade token will generally not be used.

Lingtian City Lord said calmly: "Everyone is not here yet, please wait a moment."

Luo Chen stopped asking questions and fell silent.

Time passed slowly, and after dozens of breaths, a phantom twisted and formed, turning into a projection of Qin Baixiang.

"Sorry, it took some time to clean up the battlefield. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It doesn't matter. We have to wait for one more person."

Lingtian City Lord said lightly.

Everyone looked at each other, but soon knew who they were waiting for.

As everyone waited, a projection suddenly emerged from the center.

It’s Ling Fengzi!
As soon as he appeared, he said anxiously: "To make a long story short, I have already found out the situation nearby. In addition to the Seven Rhinos, the Huang Man army has already appeared, and it is only half a day away from the front line. In addition, the severely damaged Seven Rhinos have added two more demon kings, who are suspected to be two of the ten demon kings under his command. They came alone, but it can be imagined that the demon beast army they led must not be far away."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed color.

The strength of the Seven Rhinos was fully demonstrated yesterday.

If it weren't for the city defense formation, he alone would pose a huge threat to Lingtian Pass.

Now, Huang Man, another one of the nine commanders in the legend, has also come with his troops.

Lingtian City is in danger!

City Lord Lingtian naturally felt the changes in everyone's emotions.

He smiled softly, "Don't worry, with me here, the two commander-level demon kings will not pose any threat to Lingtian Pass. Moreover, I have sent a message to the rear that the Grand Elder of Tiandu Sect will come to Lingtian Pass in person. At that time, he will personally preside over the Xuanwu Four Square Formation!"

Lingtian Pass was arranged with many formations, including nine large formations and twenty-seven small formations. The city defense formation covering the entire city was none other than the Xuanwu Square Formation passed down by the Mingyuan Sect.

This formation is ranked fifth!
It has unparalleled defense and killing power. Even the Lord of Lingtian City cannot display one tenth of its power.

But the Tiandu Sect’s Grand Elder is different.

The Tiandu Sect itself is a well-known formation sect in the Eastern Wilderness. It is extremely fond of studying formations and has a huge influence.

Even Tianfan City, which was one of the six regions in the Far East, originally originated from Tiandu Region and learned some essence of formations. Later, it opened up a region in the Far East and became a famous weapon casting company.

It is rumored that the Grand Elder of Tiandu Sect has already reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and his ability in formation is unmatched in the Eastern Wilderness.

When he visited Mingyuan Sect, all the formation masters of Mingyuan Sect praised him highly.

If he were to personally preside over the Xuanwu Square Formation, Lingtian Pass would be completely stable!

Not to mention two commanders, even if there were two more, there would be no worries!

Everyone looked relieved.

And there is more than one piece of good news.

The Lord of Lingtian City continued, "The letters for help that were sent out earlier have all received responses. The Nascent Soul cultivators from the five Lingtian regions are leading their people to rush to the aid. It won't be long before they reach Lingtian Pass."

"The Second Palace Master of Fenghua Palace, Master Mu of Mu Mansion, Master Li of Wanjian Pavilion, and two Masters of Jinling Divine Fire of Five Elements Divine Sect..."

One by one, familiar names were spoken from the mouth of Lingtian City Lord.

Every time one of them was said, the five people present felt more at ease.

When I got to the back and counted carefully, there were as many as ten people.

If the six Nascent Souls stationed at Lingtian Pass are added, the overall number of top powerhouses will be no weaker than that of the Huang Man and Seven Rhinos outside.

And obviously, this is not the limit of Lingtian's five realms.

Strong men like the Crane Emperor of the White Crane Sect, the Grand Palace Master of the Fenghua Palace, and the Grand Elder of the Five Elements Divine Sect have not yet set out.

Even if it is really not enough, the old sects in the sixteen regions in the rear will come to help according to the agreement made when Lingtian Pass was built.

Seeing that everyone was relieved, City Lord Lingtian changed the subject.

"Of course, you must not slack off before the reinforcements arrive."

"I heard that Huang Man is a member of the ancient demon Emperor Tian's clan and has an extremely violent temper. If he can't hold back and attacks Lingtian Pass directly, it will definitely lead to a war. Everyone, be careful!"

Everyone was startled and responded in unison.

"Let's stop here today!"

City Lord Lingtian was about to disband this small meeting.

Ling Fengzi suddenly said, "City Lord, can I come back now?"

Lingtian City Lord glanced at him and said, "It's not the right time yet. Try to find out more information about the monster clan. But, be careful to protect yourself and don't get hurt."

The sound is still in my ears, but its projection has gradually disappeared.

Ling Fengzi smiled bitterly and said, "My fellow Taoists, I am not feeling well here, so I will take my leave now."

Before leaving, he hesitated and bowed deeply to everyone.

As Luo Chen and the others were surprised, he whispered, "If I can't come back, I'll have to trouble the four Taoist friends to take care of my Piao Miao Sect members. Ling Fengzi, I'm very grateful!"

After saying this, the projection suddenly disappeared.

The remaining few people looked at each other, but did not talk much and quickly withdrew their spiritual consciousness.

……

Inside the room, the jade token floating in the air fell down with a click.

Luo Chen caught it, his expression slightly heavy.

What City Lord Lingtian said was quite nice and gave everyone hope.

However, before the arrival of reinforcements from all sides, there were only a few Nascent Soul True Immortals in Lingtian Pass.

The darkness before dawn is the most unbearable!
"hope……"

Luo Chen shook his head and gave up those vague thoughts.

He had hoped that during the three-year patrol period he would not encounter an attack by the demon army.

But in the end, they encountered the leader of the Seven Rhinos leading the Demon Kings to attack Lingtian Pass.

After all, instead of relying on prayers, it is better to rely on yourself!
He stood up and left the room.

Sima Hui Niang was guarding in the yard. When she saw Luo Chen coming out, she hurried over.

"Husband!"

"Ask someone to send these two items to Nancheng Xianhe Zhenren, and tell them that they are a token of my appreciation."

There were two jade bottles, one containing the fourth-level Purple Qi Anti-Poison Pill refined by Luo Chen himself, and the other containing the fourth-level Yuzhen Pill that he had previously given to Jiuling Yuanjun.

Perhaps these two pills cannot specifically cure the poison of the lightless beast, but they can be of some help.

Sima Hui Niang nodded, then took out a storage bag and handed it to Luo Chen.

"What is this?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

"It was sent by Elder Gu of the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance. He said it contains what you need."

Luo Chen swept his spiritual sense and understood instantly.

It was the magic weapon with phantom core that he had wanted before.

After putting away the storage bag, Luo Chen walked out.

Sima Huiniang followed behind him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

When they were about to leave the backyard, Luo Chen suddenly turned around, and Sima Hui Niang was caught off guard and fell into his arms.

The hot masculine scent rushed into her nostrils, and the sound of a man's exhalation was heard beside her earlobe.

"I don't want our children to be born to face natural disasters and demonic calamities, and I don't want to be forced to do so and end up in a situation like Lingjun and Qujiu where father and son turn against each other."

"But my husband promised that once we settle down, we will have children."

"more than one!"

After saying that, he gently kissed the woman's forehead and left.

The woman stood in the yard, petals falling around her and a blush on her cheeks.
