Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 848 Mingyuan Chongxuan, let Danluo go

After Shouyang's discussion, the entire Lingtian Pass fell into a frenzy of atmosphere.

The decisive battle is coming!
Just for this reason, no one dares to slack off.

The strong men from the surviving sects in the rear led countless low-level cultivators and poured into Lingtian Pass continuously.

Not only the Yuanying sects, but also a large number of Jindan sects and even some Foundation Establishment forces that are not worth mentioning are included in the scope of conscription.

The number of cultivators in Lingtian Pass and even in the five regions of Lingtian had dropped sharply to less than ten million after the last battle to break the city.

But with tens of thousands of supplements every day, it expands wildly like an inflated ball.

Even in the Mingyuan Sect, the number of low-level cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage has unknowingly reached one hundred thousand!

So many cultivators were placed in Lingtian Pass and the five nearby areas, and began to build fortifications, construct formation fortresses, and quietly wait for the attack of the demon army.

The reason why we wait and defend instead of actively attacking is actually easy to understand.

In terms of numbers, the human race is at an absolute disadvantage. Once the battlefield expands too large, they will be in a situation of being outnumbered, which is too dangerous.

But after the Mingyuan faction joined the war, the number of high-end combat power, especially the Yuanying Zhenren, has begun to surpass that of the demon clan.

In addition, with the powerful weapon such as the formation in hand, waiting for the enemy to come to you on their own initiative is undoubtedly the best option.

……

"Crane King, you are too polite."

"It's okay. It's just a white feather that I shed when I transformed. It only contains a Nascent Soul attack. Compared to you helping me to successfully transform, it's nothing. If you don't accept it, you'll be looking down on me."

"Yes, Danzong, you should accept it! Even if you don't need it yourself, it would be good to give it to your disciples and younger generations who think highly of it. And this "Stepping on the Void Step", I heard that you have been collecting such body-refining methods. Although it is incomplete, it may be of some inspiration to you."

Facing the unanimous agreement between Xianhe Zhenren and Hehuang, Luo Chen smiled and generously accepted the white feather and the incomplete "Taxu Bu".

Speaking of which, the Crane King of the White Crane Sect has been saying that he wants to visit him ever since he successfully transformed.

But after so many years, the two of them never had the chance to meet.

On the contrary, it was only after the discussion in Shouyang that the other party took the initiative to come to the door and gave a very valuable gift.

From this point of view, it was undoubtedly stimulated by the huge increase in Luo Chen's prestige, which was different from the past.

"The war is imminent, and the City Lord's Mansion has decided to let us return to the White Crane Region, hoping that we can fully unleash the strength of the White Crane Region that has been under our control for thousands of years. I'm afraid that we won't be able to meet fellow Taoists in the next short period of time." Taoist Xianhe revealed a piece of news.

Luo Chen thought about it and said, "This is as it should be."

A large number of cultivators from the rear forces have been replenished into Lingtian Pass, and with many high-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in charge, Realm Xianhe and Hehuang seem less important.

Arranging them back to Baihe Territory is undoubtedly the most correct decision.

Then, he smiled and said, "Compared to Lingtian Pass, although Implicate Five Regions is also an attack target, it is much safer. This time you will feel more relaxed."

Xianhe Zhenren nodded slightly, stroked his beard and smiled, "That's true, it's just that fellow Daoist is very powerful, Lingtian Pass is reluctant to let you go, so we can't go to the rear."

Luo Chen shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "There is nowhere to go. Baili Qingchuan is a place for temporary residence. Where else can our sect retreat to?"

As he spoke, his helpless look gradually turned into a look of fighting spirit.

"I was not present at the last battle at Lingtian Pass, and could only hear with regret that fellow Taoists Xiao Shiniang, Mu Zhenren and others had died. This time, my clan member is here, and the demon clan will have to pay a high price if they want to enter the city!"

Xianhe Zhenren and Hehuang looked at each other, and there was recognition in their eyes.

Luo Chen's reputation as the demon-slayer is still very famous.

The fourth-level Demon King who died at his hands was the best of the same level. As long as he didn't encounter a Great Demon King at the commander-level... No, judging from the fact that Luo Chen from Shouyang Mountain took Lei Daozi's attack head-on, I'm afraid that even the Great Demon King would not be able to kill Luo Chen easily!
The three chatted for a while until Luo Chen personally sent the two of them out of Danluo Mountain, ending this private meeting.

Luo Chen stood in the mountains, watching his old friend gradually go away, with a look of emotion on his face.

Although the White Crane Territory is safe, it is only relatively safe.

After the decisive battle, whether we can see each other again depends on luck.

However, overall, Luo Chen is still optimistic about this decisive battle.

With the Mingyuan Sect taking the initiative to step forward and pull the strings, the strength of the East Wasteland was integrated together. Compared with the fragmented North Sea immortal cultivation world, it was much better.

There are dozens of Yuanying Zhenren, this point alone is incomparable to the current Beihai immortal cultivation world.

Although he was optimistic about this battle, after comparing it with Tianyuan Dao Sect, Luo Chen couldn't help but shook his head.

Tianyuan Dao Sect has ruled Zhongzhou for three thousand years and managed it like an iron plate. One continent can produce more than two hundred Yuanying Zhenren, which overwhelms the other four continents!

Now they have sent out their elite troops to conquer the North Sea in full swing.

Unlike the Mingyuan Sect, they are forced to defend.

"Forget it. Instead of thinking so much, it's better to be yourself."

"Recently, many people have come to visit me on their own initiative, which has gradually increased my prestige. This is a good thing. In the future, I will be more confident when facing the recruitment of Mingyuan Sect. However, this will take up some of my time for cultivation."

There is gain and loss, and Luo Chen couldn't complain for the time being.

He could only take advantage of his free time to improve his strength as much as possible.

In terms of realm, even with the help of top-grade Hongyuan Dan, he cannot reach the fifth level of Nascent Soul in a short period of time.

Therefore, Luo Chen focused on improving his shortcomings.

The Moon Step that was previously stuck at the perfect level is rapidly climbing towards the Grandmaster level due to his recent continuous practice.

If you can master a grandmaster-level combat technique before the decisive battle, it will definitely be of great help.

Not only that, he also took out his spare time to study with Wang Yuan how to complete the Wind Leg, trying to master another physical skill.

This "Treading on the Void Step" comes at just the right time.

……

This day.

The Luotian monks gathered on Danluo Mountain, waiting for Luo Chen to appear.

After a while, Luo Chen came out.

"What's going on? Aren't you supposed to be assigned to patrol the west city of Lingtian Pass? Why are you all back?"

In response to Luo Chen's question, Zeng Yilong took the initiative to step forward.

"It was Monk Mingyuan who pulled us out."

"Huh?" Luo Chen was puzzled.

Zeng Yilong continued, "Our work has been taken over by the group of female cultivators from Shenyin Mansion. They are so numerous and powerful that they don't need us to contribute."

What does it mean to not allow the monks of Luotian Sect to do anything?
The Jueqing Fairy beside him whispered, "Lingtian Pass is preparing for war, and all shops have been ordered to close. Pavilion Master Sima Hui Niang and Elder Gu are also bringing their disciples to Danluo Mountain."

This is not surprising. Those shops are built on the main road. Once the war starts and monsters rush into the city, they will be suitable for defensive fortifications to block them.

Luo Tianbao Pavilion was also included in the conscription scope.

But when putting all these things together, Luo Chen felt something was wrong.

Suddenly!
He raised his eyebrows, walked out of the parliament hall, and looked up at the sky.

Everyone was puzzled, but when a huge flying boat flew over from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, they realized something.

Someone is coming from the City Lord’s Mansion!

Luo Chen signaled, and his subordinate Zeng Yilong took the initiative to fly up.

"Junior Sha Longzi, may I ask which senior is here in person?"

"I am Mingyuan Chongxuan, and I will ask your master to come up and talk!"

Zeng Yilong was stunned.

But after Luo Chen sent a message, he immediately retreated obediently. A figure leaped into the sky, and under the curious gazes of the low-level cultivators of Mingyuan Sect, he walked towards a palace in the center of the flying boat.

As soon as I entered, several gazes were cast towards me.

There are six of them in total, all of them are at the Nascent Soul stage.

Especially the one at the top, his powerful aura of a late Nascent Soul stage was not concealed at all.

Master Chongxuan!

Luo Chen knew this man's name. He was the Mingyuan reinforcements that Jiuling Yuanjun encountered along the way.

This great monk led five real people from the Mingyuan Sect and personally expelled Bi Zheng and other demon kings from the Xuhuang Realm.

Chong Xuan Zhenren had white hair, but his face was intimidating without anger. He stared at Luo Chen and said coldly: "Are you Luo Chen from Dan Sect?"

Luo Chen looked calm, "It is our sect."

Master Chong Xuan said in a loud voice: "I heard that you took the blow from Junior Brother Zhang and were unharmed?"

Junior Brother Zhang?
Luo Chen reacted instantly and realized that the Junior Brother Zhang the other party was referring to was Lei Daozi.

His real name is Zhang Che. Although he is the most famous disciple of Mingyuan Sect, he has not been practicing Taoism for a long time.

Therefore, even though his realm is high, his seniority in Mingyuan Sect is not very high.

People like Lingtian City Lord and Chongxuan Zhenren can be considered his senior brothers.

Luo Chen said in a deep voice: "It is true. How about it, Brother Chongxuan, do you want to give it a try?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the curious looks of the other five Yuanying True Immortals instantly became sharp.

The atmosphere in the field was quite tense due to Luo Chen's boldness.

Master Chongxuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Luo Chen for a long while.

Suddenly!
He shook his head. "We may have a chance to fight in the future. Fighting now would hurt the relationship. I came here today just to tell you one thing. Mt. Danluo must be given to us."

"Ok?"

Luo Chen made a doubtful sound.

Chong Xuan Zhenren explained: "I believe you have seen clearly the upcoming war. Not only Lingtian Pass, but also the five nearby regions are within the attack range of the demon army. There are many strong people in the pass now, and there is no shortage of one or two Yuanying Zhenren. On the contrary, the other five regions are lacking. Therefore, you can take the Luotian Sect cultivators back to Baili Qingchuan to set up defenses."

"Is this what the City Lord's Mansion meant?"

"Right! Don't have any ideas. I, a mere Dan Luoshan, don't take you seriously. On the contrary, the rear is relatively safe and can avoid the first wave of impact."

Luo Chen fell silent. Not long ago, he was telling people that he would guard Lingtian Pass and make those demon kings pay the price.

Seeing that Luo Chen didn't say anything, Master Chongxuan softened his tone and tried to persuade him step by step.

"Dan Zong, you may be very capable, but what about your disciples? If you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider them! This arrangement is good enough for your Luo Tian Zong."

Someone nearby echoed, "Yes, Danzong, I heard that your Luotian Sect has lost many people. I'm afraid you can't stand too much trouble. It's undoubtedly a good thing to retreat to the rear."

Faced with this chorus, Luo Chen suddenly laughed.

"Since it is Mingyuan Sect's intention, I have been able to stay in Danluo Mountain for a long time thanks to the many years of favor from City Lord Lingtian. So let's give it up!"

"Please wait a moment!"

After saying that, Luo Chen waved his sleeves and left.

After he left, Master Chong Xuan frowned.

He didn't say it was the Mingyuan Sect's intention. He said it was the City Lord's Mansion's intention.

But it doesn’t matter!

……

A cloud chariot that looked gorgeous but not very majestic slowly rose from Mount Danluo.

Flying high into the sky, it passed by the huge ship in the abyss.

Luo Chen stood on the deck of the Yunnian with a smile on his face, and nodded to Master Chongxuan who was out of the boat overlooking Mount Danluo.

From then on, except for the name, this Danluo Mountain had little to do with him, Luo Chen.

After the Yunnian flying boat passed by, the smile on Luo Chen's face gradually disappeared.

"Uncle Master, are we going directly back to Baili Qingchuan next?" Zeng Yilong asked.

"Go pick up your two aunts first." Luo Chen said calmly.

Zeng Yilong nodded and immediately went down to tell the monks to turn around.

Wang Yuan walked to Luo Chen's side and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"

Luo Chen asked back: "What could happen? If they retreat to the back, wouldn't that be a good thing for us?"

Wang Yuan shook his head. "It's a good thing for Luo Tianzong, but it's probably not so good for you."

Luo Chen opened his mouth but did not object.

If a war breaks out, with his ability, as long as his luck is not too bad, he will be able to slay the demon and become famous again.

With the prestige accumulated before, it is entirely possible to reach a higher level.

Especially now that except for the Mingyuan Sect, all other forces in the Eastern Wilderness have declined a lot, he can take advantage of the situation and have a higher reputation and status.

By then, even if the Mingyuan faction wanted to recruit him by force, they would have to pay a sufficient price.

But now, in the name of preparing for the decisive battle, he was transferred away from the front line of the battle. In this way, how could he accumulate military merits and even become more famous?
He didn't know whether this was a deliberate arrangement by the Mingyuan Sect or an accident?

Or was it intentional carelessness?
But he couldn't object.

Wang Yuan sighed, "We are the ones who are holding you back!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, "Don't say these words. Without you, there would be no me now."

Wang Yuan looked gloomy: "But now, we have indeed become a burden to you."

When Luo Chen was at his weakest, he grew up under the protection of the Luo Tian Sect by relying on the warmth of the group.

But as Luo Chen's realm advanced by leaps and bounds, he has indeed become a burden now.

Why was Tianduzi able to represent various sects in negotiations with the Lord of Lingtian City and even get Mingyuan to help the various sects?

Not only does he have the strength of a great cultivator, but he also has the powerful Tiandu Sect behind him!
On what basis did Shouyang Shanren initiate the Shouyang Forum and even lift the commercial restrictions on Lingtian Pass, thus gaining great prestige?

Isn’t it also relying on the Dongyang Sect behind it!
But for Luo Chen, when he wanted to go further, the weak Luo Tian Sect held him back.

Seeing Wang Yuan, who was always strong and never gave up, showing such a depressed look, Luo Chen pursed his lips.

"No!"

"It is true that Luo Tian Zong is weak, but it is also true that I am not strong enough!"

"If I were strong enough, I alone would be able to surpass all the other cultivators!"

Wang Yuan stared at Luo Chen in a daze. At this moment, he did not see the complacency of the previous days on the young man's face. Instead, he only saw the dissatisfaction that he had when he was at a low level back then.

"Let's go. After we go back, we will complete the Wind Kick together. I have a new understanding of the 'Stepping on the Void Step'. Combining it with the 'Three Styles of the Wind God' of the Piao Miao Sect, maybe we can deduce a new Wind Kick!"

Luo Chen spoke loudly, his voice showing no sign of being depressed after being transferred away from Lingtian Pass. Instead, he was full of ambition and seemed ready to do something big.

Haha, it’s just to complete a skill.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Then let's go together!"
