Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 830: Ghost and God Mirror, Great Five Elements Sword Formation

A turquoise-colored genuine sword ball and three flawless sword balls were floating in the air.

The patterns on it are intricate, like strands of silk wrapped into a ball.

Luo Chen swept over them one by one and injected his magic power into the flawless sword pill with fire attribute.

Instantly!

chi chi chi...

The sword ball spun around, moving freely in the hall like a flying star.

With a thought, the flying stars paused, as if a lotus was blooming, revealing strands of sword threads.

After trying to control it using the method of controlling the sword ball in the "Thousands of Swords in the Sky" Luo Chen was very satisfied.

It is indeed the flawless sword pill that has never been used by anyone!

This level is probably very rare in Yuding Sword Sect and Wanjian Pavilion. Only seeds with the hope of being promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage can be granted.

And he got three at once, and one of them was even a real weapon!

Playing with the four sword balls in his hands, Luo Chen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Sure enough, my feeling at the Shouyang Dao Conference was correct."

"In my opinion, the price I paid for refining pills in the past was already very high, but for a Yuanying Zhenren with a rich fortune, it is actually nothing at all."

"Especially since I have built up the reputation of the Dan Sect over the years, it is more than enough to support me to offer a higher price!"

The high price he asked for in today's bargaining was a testament to the value of Luo Chen's reputation.

The final result is satisfying!

As for why you don’t want anything else, but only focus on things like the sword pill?

Firstly, the two great sword sects would certainly have no shortage of this thing, so he was targeting it.

Secondly... Luo Chen's eyes fell on the blood-red sword on his right arm that looked like a tattoo.

The Yuantu Sword, after absorbing a massive amount of demon blood and the Nascent Soul of a fourth-level Demon King in the battle with Jueling, revealed its nature as a "demon sword"!
Beneath the unparalleled sharpness lies the uncontrollable bloodthirsty instinct!

Although the sword spirit's recognition of him became higher and higher, and he could control it more freely and at ease, the sword spirit's own autonomy was also greatly enhanced.

Thinking of how the Yuan Tu Sword stubbornly devoured the Demon King's Nascent Soul, and how the opponent had voluntarily emitted a hint of sharp energy when he was defeated by his sword energy, Luo Chen's joyful face darkened.

Not being completely controlled means not being controlled at all!
However, an uncontrolled magical weapon, no matter how powerful it is, is not the most satisfactory weapon for a cultivator.

It was with this in mind that Luo Chen decided to rebuild the sword formation.

According to the description, the improved Five Elements Sword Formation left by Han Zhan can be said to be extremely powerful.

The only requirement is five sword balls of genuine weapon level!

This is difficult to collect, but now Luo Chen already has two real sword pills, plus three flawless sword pills, so he might be able to try to barely set up the Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

"No hurry, no hurry!"

"First, use the methods in the Sword Scripture to refine these sword pills, and then consider the matter of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation."

"The next most urgent task is to refine the Heart-Searching Mirror. We can't delay Canglong any longer."

Luo Chen put away his sword, ordered people to repair the exposed dome of the hall, and then went to the top of the mountain alone.

……

The Red Dog Puppet, which possessed Luo Chen's soul, figured out the refining principle of the Ghost and God Mirror after studying and dismantling a large number of phantom core magic weapons.

Also, try to conceive new refining drawings.

The Seven Souls Jade is used as the base, the Magic Core is the main material, and the True Liquid is used as the intermediary substance to stimulate and regulate it. It is supplemented by a large number of precious materials and various magic arrays...

After system inspection, this drawing is ready for entry!

After years of preparation, Luo Chen finally reached the final step.

In front of the red-hot Hunyuan Ding, he carefully added the processed materials one by one into it, and his movements were extremely light and rare.

It's no wonder he's so cautious.

In fact, the materials used in refining the Mirror of Conscience this time exceeded those used in any of his previous refining operations.

The phantom core of a fourth-stage mid-stage phantom beast is incomparable to either the Xuanchen Armor or the Youmang Whip.

If he fails accidentally, he will have nowhere to cry.

"I don't ask for a high-grade treasure, but I ask for no failure."

Luo Chen muttered to himself and focused all his attention on the refining process.

The weapon-making skills he acquired were quite varied.

Duan Feng used the Duan family's weapon-making technique as his foundation, and the Duan family's weapon-making technique actually originated from Tianfan City.

Afterwards, he collected a large number of books on refining equipment and experimented while exploring.

Beihai Baizaoshan's weapon refining technique became his first breakthrough in weapon refining.

Later, after he inherited Fei Yunzi's legacy, the large number of Fei Yunjian weapon refining methods left in it gave Luo Chen a higher vision in weapon refining.

The Ghost Python Whip that was previously refined for Gu Caiyi was just an experiment.

The result of that experiment should have been better, but unfortunately because of distraction at the critical moment of refining, the experiment failed and the treasure obtained was only of mediocre quality.

Now, Luo Chen would never allow himself to be distracted in refining the Mirror of Self-Search.

The black ape puppet, holding the formation plate, has completely blocked off Danluo Mountain. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it will never allow outsiders to disturb Luo Chen.

As time passed, the various materials began to gradually blend together, producing subtle reactions with each other.

One day, two days...

January, two months...

A year later, Luo Chen, with bloodshot eyes, growled.

"come out!"

A ball of white light slowly flew out from the Hunyuan Cauldron. Luo Chen's golden amber eyes looked carefully through the protective light.

“It has indeed taken shape!”

"It's time to engrave the formation."

He took a deep breath, took out the prepared ink array liquid, and his right hand suddenly turned red under the stimulation of magic power.

When it comes to engraving formations on magic weapon embryos, Luo Chen has his own unique system.

That is the iron smelter of Baizaoshan!

Using this ink to draw the array formation is more delicate than using common talisman pens and ink cones.

After all, those things are just external objects. How can they be as free and at ease as your own hands, and can you feel more deeply?

The only drawback of the Iron Hand is probably the extreme pain it causes when using it!

This is also the reason why few monks in Baizao Mountain practice this weapon refining technique.

Pain can distract people. Once they are distracted at the critical moment of refining, the consequences will be...

But for Luo Chen, this little bit of pain was not even necessary for him to frown or grit his teeth.

"First draw nine basic illusion arrays, then six second-order illusion arrays. For the third-order illusion array, I will use my best technique, Mirror Flower and Water Moon, which is also the most suitable array for the Mirror of the Heart!"

"For the fourth-level formation... let's use the Dream Bubble!"

When making this decision, Luo Chen had mixed emotions, including worry, anticipation, and a vague sense of luck.

This magic formation was not something he had before, but was a set recorded in the formation book "Stone Chamber Immortal Secret" given to him by Fu Chaosheng.

Although complete, it is not complete!

The reason for its incompleteness is that this set of illusion array should have been of a higher grade, and was most likely from the Western Desert Buddhist sect, but for some unknown reason most of it was destroyed.

But after the senior from Tianyuan Dao Sect got the incomplete formation, he completed it according to his own understanding.

In the end, although the grade dropped a lot to only the fourth level, the formation became complete.

Luo Chen constructed this formation on the Mirror of the Heart, and undoubtedly had high expectations for this magical weapon.

“Hope, don’t let me down!”

After the perfect final stroke was made, the dreamy colorful light wrapped around the formed oval stone mirror and slowly flew back into the Hunyuan Ding.

The magic power lid was covered again. The weak withering true fire surged again.

Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"The next step is up to you."

Luo Chen glanced at the Red Dog Puppet and left without much conversation.

For the split soul, the art of controlling fire is also something engraved in the soul. Even if it is controlled by a puppet, there will be no deviation.

In addition, the withered and flourishing true fire has now given birth to a fire spirit, which understands human nature and knows Luo Chen’s thoughts.

In this way, Luo Chen would not have to wait for three years like he did when he refined the Xuanchen Armor.

Back in the room, Luo Chen had a good sleep.

After waking up refreshed, he immediately removed the formation and called Gu Caiyi, Wang Yuan, Jueqing Fairy and others over.

……

Under normal circumstances, a year is nothing to a monk.

But the situation is different now and is changing rapidly. Who knows how the external situation will change in a year?
Therefore, Luo Chen really needs these monks who are active outside to report the situation to him.

"Due to the formation, outsiders know that the Dan Sect has no intention of seeing guests, so few people came to disturb us last year, except for two invitations from people from Shouyang Mountain." Fairy Jueqing said.

Luo Chen took the invitation, glanced at it briefly, and put it aside.

It was still an invitation to Shouyang to discuss Taoism, but the scale was limited to less than ten people.

Luo Chen sneered. Although the scale was small, it happened too frequently. Didn't it ruin the style of the Shouyang Taoist Conference?
If he were in charge, the wartime would be planned over several years, and the peacetime would be planned over ten years or a hundred years. Only in this way could a high standard be maintained.

The people of Shouyang Mountain are a little too eager for quick success!
With emotion in his heart, he also reported the situation on Gu Caiyi's side.

"Thanks to my husband's reputation, Luo Tianbao Pavilion has been developing well in recent years and has a large number of repeat customers."

"The sect can stably produce elixirs and talismans..."

"But these are only the smallest part of the profits. The bulk of the profits still come from the business of purchasing monster corpses in cooperation with the Tianyuan Business Alliance. After each large-scale transaction, we can collect a considerable commission from it."

"The problem now is that the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance is no longer satisfied with the single cooperation of monster resources. They want to expand the scope of cooperation and sell some special products of Zhongzhou through Luotianbao Pavilion. For this reason, Sect Master Li dare not make a decision and leave it to my husband to decide."

Zhongzhou specialty?

What special products there are are nothing more than various resources needed by cultivators.

Perhaps their quality is better, but these businesses are all done by the Sixteen Regions in the rear and the Mingyuan Sect. How dare Luo Chen get involved?
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Chen made a decision.

"The scope of cooperation can be expanded, but it should only be limited to the field of elixirs."

Gu Caiyi nodded and took note of the matter.

Luo Chen thought clearly that with the blessing of his alchemy sect, no one would question the source of the elixir, even if it was from Zhongzhou. Other forces would not bother with him, a master of alchemy who was at the peak of his career.

But if other resources were used, it would definitely cause big trouble.

Luo Chen doesn't want to cause trouble now!
Finally, it’s Wang Yuan’s place.

He is in charge of the war!
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Yuan slowly spoke.

"The war is getting more and more intense now. The four great commanders are eyeing Lingtian Pass covetously and harassing it every day."

Is there one more person?

Luo Chen frowned and asked, "Which four commanders?"

"Huang Man, Baizu, Niu Gui, Aoguao!" Wang Yuan spat out names one by one, which would scare ordinary people.

Even though he had expected it, Luo Chen couldn't help swallowing.

"Is Aoju coming so quickly?"

This great demon king is no unknown person.

He is the leader of the wolf clan in the Million Mountains. The once proud Demon King of the Howling Moon Mountains was just a junior of his.

It is rumored that this person has been promoted to the realm of Demon King for thousands of years, and his age is even comparable to that of some of the human race's newly promoted gods.

His fighting ability is also extremely terrifying.

He once vied for supremacy with the current leader of the demon clan, the Ancient Demon Emperor, and although he was defeated he managed to save his life.

The Qingshuang Demon King, who was the most feared by human cultivators, also fought with Ao Kuang. The two fought for hundreds of rounds, but neither could determine the winner.

Just based on these two achievements, people dare not underestimate him.

Now, the other party came so quickly?

Wang Yuan looked solemn. "It was precisely because of the arrival of this great demon king that the demons became more confident and began to frequently harass Lingtian Pass. They did not forcefully attack Lingtian Pass, but gradually eroded the outer buffer zone in an attempt to form a pincer attack. In the battles, a large number of casualties occurred. I heard that even the Yuanying Zhenren suffered casualties."

Luo Chen immediately asked: "Do you know which real people they are?"

Wang Yuan pondered and said, "Most of them are rumors, and I don't know whether they are true or not. But the fact that the old ghost Motian was forcibly cut off half of his body by a wolf demon king happened in front of everyone, so it can't be false!"

Skyscraper ghost?

Luo Chen was stunned at first, then he smiled happily.

Restricted by the rules of the human race, the Five Elements Divine Sect did not dare to take action against him, and he did not dare to take action against guys like Motian Old Ghost.

Now that he has used the demon clan's knife to severely injure the old ghost Motian, how can he not feel happy?

"I think it has something to do with the fact that I forcibly destroyed his real weapon, so he lacked powerful means and was severely injured."

Luo Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Wang Yuan reminded him, “Now that you have come out of seclusion, even if you have the title of Danzong, you can’t stay out of it. Perhaps the next battle between the Demon Emperor and the True Man will be your turn.”

Luo Chen's expression shifted and he nodded slightly.

"Don't worry about me. You should also be careful, especially Wang Yuan yourself."

Wang Yuan is in charge of all the wars on the Luotian Sect's side. Once the fighting starts, he is the one who charges into the enemy's ranks, and danger is always around him.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen's mind moved and he opened his mouth to speak.

A wisp of green and white tree flew out, and while the few people were puzzled, a green twig broke in the middle, causing the tree to sway, as if it was very dissatisfied.

Luo Chen raised his hand, and the green branch flew in front of Wang Yuan.

"This is my life's true fire. Green represents prosperity, while white represents withering. With this green twig, when you are in danger, it can greatly tap into your physical potential and unleash even greater power."

"But remember, this method cannot be used lightly. After using it, you must return to a safe place, otherwise once you become weak, you will be powerless."

He said it seriously, but everyone knew that this was a life-saving trump card.

Wang Yuan did not refuse. He carefully wrapped the green branch with his internal energy and swallowed it into his stomach.

After the three people left, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

In the current situation, he can no longer stay out of it, and it is inevitable that he will encounter a battle next.

He had already experienced the power of the Scarlet Sky Sword Qi from Lin Qingxuan.

In the minor success state, it is only at the golden elixir level.

Even with the blessing of the Yuantu Sword, which surpasses the power of the Golden Core, it cannot really threaten the Yuanying cultivator.

Especially since this sword energy is of a consumable nature. The more you use, the less it will be. It needs to be constantly refined and replenished. For this reason, it cannot be used in regular combat.

The Yuan Tu Sword itself can be activated, but the sword spirit has its own ideas...

Therefore, he needs relatively conventional means of fighting.

"It's time to practice the Great Five Elements Sword Formation!"

While muttering, Luo Chen waved his hand and four streams of light flew out.

Then, another ray of platinum light rose up.

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth are the five elements.

Two True and Three Flawless, although it still does not meet the basic threshold of arranging a sword formation, but with the system, maybe I can try to force my way in.

Luo Chen did not seek the powerful force that Han Zhan had imagined to use this sword formation to threaten the great monk. He only hoped that after the sword formation was set up, it would be able to briefly fight against ordinary Nascent Soul powerhouses.

"It shouldn't be too difficult."

Luo Chen muttered something, and his magic power immediately surged out, wrapping the five sword balls.
