Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 814: Dan Zong is here, Ling Tian cannot enter!

The battle between humans and demons at Lingtian Pass started again after a silence of more than half a month.

Unlike the initial nervousness, fear and uneasiness, after the monks in the city really got used to this rhythm, they felt it was like a common occurrence.

It’s this rice that’s a bit hard to swallow.

If you're not careful you'll choke to death.

Luo Chen still stayed in the relatively safe Xicheng District, guarding his little piece of land.

From time to time, I would learn about the battle situation on the front line from my disciples.

For example, the number of troops deployed by the monsters is greater than before.

For example, a Yuanying Zhenren and the Demon King started fighting outside the city. The specific situation is unknown, but Ling Tianguan said that they could be easily repelled.

It was also heard that Commander Huang Man came personally to the outside of Lingtian Pass, observed for a long time, and then retreated in silence.

Especially the last piece of news, which made many people feel relieved.

They really could not do anything about Lingtian Pass's defense!

So much so that even the two commanders joined forces and did not dare to act rashly.

Luo Chen has always been paying attention to these things, but his main focus is still on his own practice.

He has gradually figured out the changes in the "Thousands of Swords".

Just as he thought, after his proficiency level increased to a certain level, the speed of refining the sky energy into sword energy became faster, saving a lot of time.

According to specific judgment, the degree of shortening has directly doubled!
In other words, it used to take half a year to refine one strand.

Now it only takes three months!

Luo Chen knew better than anyone what this meant.

Originally, it would take five hundred years to reach the realm of Great Accomplishment and Thousand Sky Parallel Flow, but now it only takes two hundred and fifty years.

In fact, if his proficiency continues to improve, he may be able to further shorten this time.

"This sword technique is tailor-made for me!"

After refining the eleventh strand of sword energy, Luo Chen said excitedly.

He saw the hope that this sutra would be accomplished during his lifetime.

Even with the improved efficiency, it can make up for the consumption of Chixiao sword energy.

However, another problem also came to Luo Chen.

That is a question of the amount of Sanxiao Qi required!

A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Having skills but not having enough quantity will be a problem!

However, materials like Xiaoqi cannot be produced artificially. They must be collected from Qingming, and only a Yuanying Zhenren can do it.

Therefore, there is basically no buying and selling of such resources on the market, and the only way to get them is through barter!

"It's too much trouble for me to search by myself."

"It seems that we can only spread the news and wait for the seller to come to us."

As for how to post the message, it couldn't be simpler.

Being in Lingtian Pass, the Nascent Soul cultivators frequently visit each other and various private gatherings are often held.

And these gatherings would often send Luo Chen an invitation.

The name of Danzong is still very important. If he can be present, the host of the party will also feel very honored.

At that time, he would just casually mention his need for the Three Sky Qi, and the news would naturally spread among the Nascent Soul cultivators.

……

For low-level cultivators, a large-scale war is like living a year in a day.

But for a high-level cultivator of Luo Chen's level, it was just a blink of an eye.

The final deadline of the patrol mission was approaching unknowingly while Luo Chen was practicing.

The one who came to replace him was the Second Palace Master of Fenghua Palace.

"Guarding the West City is a good job. This is the safest place with the fewest monsters."

While handing over the task, Luo Chen chatted with the Second Palace Master with a smile.

The other party was obviously very satisfied with the job.

"Thanks to Lord Lingtian for being compassionate and not arranging me to the other three places, otherwise it would be troublesome."

"Haha, probably because you are familiar with the situation here!"

Luo Chen smiled, and after the people below had completed the handover, he took Zeng Yilong, Yang Pingdu and others down the city wall.

After that, he won't have to keep an eye on this place every day.

As for the next arrangements, if it follows the usual practice, he can return to the sect to rest for a while.

But alas, these are not ordinary times.

Therefore, he had to stay in Lingtian Pass like the other Nascent Soul Realm masters who came to support Lingtian Pass and be on standby at all times.

Let’s briefly summarize Luo Chen’s next role - Mobile Force!
This identity seems to be easy, but if something really happens, you have to do it no matter how reluctant you are.

After getting down from the city wall, Fairy Jueqing and Chu Kui also joined them.

Luo Chen and four others were walking leisurely on the streets of Lingtian Pass West City, a rare occasion.

The monks around them were coming and going in a hurry, which formed a sharp contrast with their leisure.

The usually dull and heartless fairy suddenly sighed quietly.

"For those of us who practice cultivation, we should not be indifferent and peaceful, and live far away from the bustling city. But at least we should eat the clouds and drink the dew, and travel between the clouds. How could we end up like ordinary people now, fighting every day?"

Yang Ping nodded in agreement, looking sympathetic.

In response to this, Chu Kui sneered, "You say that cultivation should be free of desires, but you didn't know that this longevity road is crowded with people, and everyone wants to go a few more steps forward. So how do you go? Walk on other people's corpses, rob others of their resources, territory, and even disciples, so that you can go further than others!"

"Uncle Chu is right!" Zeng Yilong agreed.

Luo Chen couldn't help but smile knowingly as he listened to the conversation between the people behind him.

It is normal for disciples to have disagreements. Jueqing and Yang Ping both came from the sect in their early years. Although they are not spoiled, even if they compete, it is mostly under an orderly process.

Now that the order has been broken, the high and mighty monks of the sects have to obey the orders of others and live in the bloody war.

Even if you adapt, you will still complain.

In comparison, Chu Kui, a casual cultivator who has been working hard for cultivation resources, is very accustomed to this kind of environment.

It’s just that the conflicts between people in the past have changed to conflicts between people and monsters.

However, Zeng Yilong agreed with Chu Kui's idea, which surprised Luo Chen.

But thinking back, I realized that it was probably Wang Yuan's teachings since childhood that influenced the other party.

What about yourself?

What kind of life do you want?
Holding great power, admired by hundreds of millions of people, as high and mighty as Mo Shouzhao, the leader of the Tianyuan Sect?
Travel all over the country, fight with different opponents, and enjoy the thrill of fighting between life and death?

Or, to eat clouds and drink dew, to be indifferent and peaceful, and to have no desires or demands among the green mountains and white clouds?
Do not!
All he wants is immortality. For him, any life is just a moment of scenery on the road to pursuing immortality.

For this goal, he can give up all desires.

Because immortality is the greatest desire in the world!

After some deep thought, Luo Chen's expression became neither happy nor sad, but extremely calm.

His footsteps stopped at the cave.

"You guys go down and rest. If you are called upon, you must protect yourself."

"Yes, Supreme Elder!"

The four of them responded and dispersed down the mountain.

Their discussions could be heard faintly in the wind.

"Have you noticed that Master Uncle is becoming more and more difficult to understand?"

"Haha, it seems as if you have seen through the Grand Elder before."

"Junior Brother Zeng is right. When the Grand Elder first returned to the Eastern Wasteland, he was extremely imposing and looked like someone who wanted no one to get close to him. He was very powerful at that time, but I only thought he was an ordinary Nascent Soul Real Person. But over the years, the Grand Elder has kept a low profile and his imposing aura has been restrained. Although he has become more approachable, I am more and more in awe of him. I dare not even guess what he is thinking."

"Fairy Jueqing, what do you think?"

"Me? I can't see through him. I could figure out some of his thoughts before, but now I can't guess at all, and I don't dare to guess."

……

After no longer having the patrol mission, Luo Chen suddenly had some free time.

After returning to the cave, Luo Chen put aside all worldly affairs and devoted himself to cultivation.

He was getting closer and closer to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and he had a rare cave with a fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual vein. Naturally, he had to make the best use of it before City Lord Lingtian took back the right to use the cave.

His body of fire spirit allowed him to have a cultivation speed comparable to that of a person with natural spiritual roots.

The deep purple palace barrier allowed him to ignore the danger of being assimilated by the heaven and earth and absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world. Each of the top-grade fourth-level Hongyuan Pills contained great medicinal power. Often, refining one pill could be used as an ordinary Nascent Soul to practice at full strength for more than a month.

Coupled with the fifth-level withering and flourishing true fire, it can help him refine the impurities in his magic power.

After Luo Chen consolidated his realm, he began to practice without restraint.

And his realm began to soar at a rapid pace.

A month later.

The vast spiritual energy in the cave was absorbed by Luo Chen, almost gathering into a misty sea of ​​clouds.

A large amount of spiritual energy was absorbed into his body.

Suddenly!
The smoke dissipated and Luo Chen let out a long breath.

He took a quick glance at the attribute panel, [Nascent Soul Level 90 100/].

"I am only one step away from the middle stage. Who is going to disturb me at this time?"

Luo Chen frowned and picked up the flashing badge in a bad mood.

Magic power was injected into it, and Tianduzi's calm and vicissitudes voice came out.

"West City is under attack. Don't let the fourth-level demon king destroy the formations in the city. Fellow Daoist Luo can go and help."

Luo Chen's brows furrowed even more tightly.

West City is a relatively safe area. Are the monsters now beginning to expand their attack range to this area?
It seems that they also realized that the human race in the Eastern Wilderness used Lingtian Pass as a barrier to resist the army of monsters. If they could not cut off the connection between Lingtian Pass and other forces, reinforcements would continue to arrive.

That's why they began to spread their military forces westward.

Luo Chen no longer hesitated and stood up.

As soon as I arrived outside the cave, I saw a sound transmission note with a whirlwind sound, which was spinning around in the cave maze like a headless fly.

He pointed casually, and the talisman began to burn.

The urgent voice of the Second Palace Master of Fenghua Palace was instantly heard from inside.

"There are enemies coming, there is more than one fourth-level demon king, please help me!"

Luo Chen pinched out the sound transmission note
"The situation seems a little grim!"

With a murmur, Luo Chen soared into the sky and turned into a beam of fire and went to the west of the city.

……

West of the city.

It has always been peaceful, and the occasional appearance of monsters is at most sporadic.

But at this moment, it has turned into a place filled with a foul stench and violent spiritual energy.

Looking around, countless monsters were pouring in from afar, like a sea of ​​monsters.

One after another, the figures of monks rose into the air and looked outside with nervous expressions.

His eyes fell on the city wall.

The disciples of Tiandu Sect were leading the crowd to activate the formation and launch attacks towards the outside of the city.

Meteorites fell from the sky, black winds and rains of fire, pillars of light swept across...

When the formation is operating at its limit, the disciples of Tiandu Sect will immediately replace the spirit stones and repair the gaps in the formation.

Often at this time, the monks in the city are needed to fill this gap and buy time for them.

The Second Palace Master of Fenghua Palace spread out his spiritual consciousness, and in the chaotic battlefield, he accurately passed every instruction to the Jindan monks who led the team. Then they commanded the monks of lower realms to resist the attacks of the monsters.

The Second Palace Master's gaze would occasionally look up at the sky ten miles away from Lingtian Pass.

There, dark clouds gathered and evil spirits rose to the sky!

As the wind blows, several shadowy figures appear.

There is more than one Demon King!
There are at least four!
The Second Palace Master smiled bitterly, "When will my West City be able to attract so many demon king-level beings! If other Taoist friends don't arrive yet, I will have to apply to Tianduzi to activate the city defense formation."

The Xuanwu Square Formation is very powerful!

But it cannot be started at will, and each start-up costs a huge cost.

When City Lord Lingtian activated this formation, he had no choice.

Just when the Second Palace Master was getting anxious, three streams of light suddenly landed on the city wall.

She looked around and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Ling, you are finally here."

The people who came were Jin Ling, Shen Huo, and the old ghost Motian.

He is also the representative of two of the three Nascent Soul upper sects residing in Fenghua Domain.

As soon as he landed, Master Jin Ling looked into the distance with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Beside him, the expression of the Divine Fire Master changed slightly, "Four Demon Kings, why is there such a big battle?"

The old man looked around, but didn't see the person he wanted to see. He sneered:
"Where's little Luo Chen? Is he afraid because of the enemy?"

The Second Palace Master also had some complaints in his heart, but at least he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said hurriedly: "Those people have been watching for a long time, I'm afraid they can't hold back anymore. If they make a move later, please stop them. If necessary, I will also take action."

Without even turning his head, Jin Ling Zhenren said, "Leave the fourth-order mid-stage demon cultivator to me, and you can divide the rest among yourselves!"

After these words were spoken, the Second Palace Master felt relieved.

As long as Master Jin Ling takes action, this battle will be much safer.

But why hasn’t Luo Chen come yet? I clearly sent the sound transmission note.
……

In the distance, the four demons looked at the wall of Lingtian Pass, quietly watching their army of demon beasts attacking the city.

As the light of the formation kept flickering, he was looking for a flaw.

"Lingtian Pass is high and deep, and there are many cultivators. But what restricts our progress is actually these large and small formations."

"It is worthy of being the crystallization of human wisdom. It can burst out with power that is not weaker than that of the Golden Core Yuanying Stage by relying only on various materials and spirit stones as energy."

"We can't wait any longer. More and more of our men are being killed or wounded. We should try to break these formations. As long as we break these formations, especially the forbidden air formation, we can charge into the city in one fell swoop."

"Remember, I can't wait to force my way into the city in case the city defense formation is activated!"

After a brief conversation, the four demons attacked at the same time.

The majestic demonic power fills the sky.

Giant palm prints, blazing fireballs, black gale force winds, and even lightning bolts falling from the sky.

Four massive attacks came rushing towards us.

Swish!
A curtain of light rose from the city wall in response.

Forcefully block these four attacks.

But after a moment, the light curtain slowly weakened.

A Tiandu Sect disciple shouted anxiously: "Master, the energy of this fourth-level defense formation is temporarily exhausted and needs to be replenished with spirit stones. Don't let the Demon King's attack fall!"

Before the Second Palace Master could speak, he saw three figures flying out from the city wall, each facing an enemy.

"I should go too!"

The Second Palace Master took a deep breath, then opened his mouth and exhaled, and a small round fan fell into his hand.

Just as she was about to set off, she suddenly saw a red light passing over her head.

A voice came from inside.

"Fellow Daoist, it is better for you to stay here. I will take care of the remaining Demon King!"

It’s Luo Chen!
The Second Palace Master looked slightly relieved.

But when he saw the remaining Demon King, his expression changed slightly.

Jin Ling and his group selected three opponents, and the remaining one was at the third level of Nascent Soul.

"If Luo Chen doesn't come, then this monster will be left for me, right?"

She is only at the second level of Nascent Soul!
Among Nascent Soul cultivators, every small change in realm represents an improvement.

Similarly, the gap in each small realm also represents an absolute gap in magic power.

If there is no powerful means to suppress it, even a small realm can crush people to death!
What was the purpose of Jin Ling and the others leaving it to me?
The Second Palace Master had no time to think about it and his eyes followed Luo Chen closely.

It is rumored that Luo Chen of Dan Sect once fought against Jin Ling, who was in the middle stage of Yuanying, during the Jindan Ceremony. He also had the heroic feat of facing a thunder-type Dapeng alone during the battle to guard the pass.

Can he stop this monster?

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, a ten-mile area can be reached in a blink of an eye.

Swish!
The escaping light suddenly stopped, and the Taoist in a white robe and a tall hat bowed to the hook-nosed Demon King.

"The Dan Sect is here, but Lingtian Pass cannot be entered."

"This fellow Taoist, please!"
