Longevity begins with alchemy master

"Take it out!"

Luo Chen was not surprised by the Black King's request for credit.

This guy loves doing this kind of thing.

The last time they were chasing the Demon King, they were all busy searching for traces of the big demon, except for the Black King who secretly ran into the Dieyun Sect and got him dozens of jars of good wine.

It happened again this time.

However, considering the ability of Zhenren Shenyuan, Black King did not dare to go too far at the time and only moved away some good things on Shenyuan Peak.

A ball of black light came out of the Black King's mouth, and Luo Chen's spiritual sense probed into it.

books!

There are a large number of books, hundreds or even thousands of them.

Among them, many are ancient books from a long time ago, but there are also many new classics.

Luo Chen picked up a book at random and took a look at it, and his mind was involuntarily immersed in it.

"Detailed Explanation of the Five Elements Magic"

After a while, he finally drew his attention away from it, and a look of admiration appeared on his face.

"I thought Shen Yuan had a high level of understanding of the Five Elements magic, but I didn't expect it to be this high. Each system of magic, each level, has its own theory. In actual combat, they work together to double their power."

"And looking at this book, it is obvious that this was only written when he was in the early stage of Yuanying. He is indeed a genius of his generation!"

While admiring, Luo Chen read ten lines at a glance, scanning the general names of the other classics.

Yangyi Dao Fa Supplement

《Empty Sword Classic》

"Seven True Alchemy Techniques"

Five Elements Magic Pill

……

There were so many classics that Luo Chen was almost dazzled.

Unlike most high-level cultivators who only collect high-level Taoist techniques, Zhenren Shenyuan's collection also includes a large number of mid- and low-level techniques.

Among them is the "Seven True Alchemy Techniques", which records seven top-grade secret techniques of forming the elixir.

Not only that, the "Dragon Slaying Technique" that Luo Chen learned in his early years is also on the list!

Luo Chen took a quick look through it and was surprised to find that the magical soul-slaying ability that appeared after he cultivated to perfection was actually in the direction predicted by Shen Yuan.

However, Shen Yuan experimented many times and found that it would not succeed. He just made a prediction and did not continue to improve this technique.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen confirmed his guess.

Luo Chen felt very happy when he looked at the dazzling collection of books.

If he could digest these classics, not only would his knowledge increase greatly, but he would also be able to reach a higher level in his magic!

Just think about it, Zhenren Shenyuan has not yet realized the true meaning of the law, but can cast powerful spells similar to supernatural powers, which shows his attainments in this area.

For ordinary people, these things may not be of much use.

But for Luo Chen, it was like a sleepy head hitting the pillow.

"Maybe I can use this to create another fire magic that suits me?"

Luo Chen murmured, hopeful.

Unlike the time when he comprehended the true meaning of withering and flourishing and then gained the magical power of withering and flourishing, this time after comprehending the origin of fire in the Dan Sheng blessed land, Luo Chen did not gain the corresponding magical power.

In fact, this is the norm!
Throughout the ages, many people have realized the true meaning of the law.

However, magical skills are often powerful means that are gradually summarized and improved by strong people after a lot of practice, and gradually stand out from ordinary spells.

Especially the true meaning of the most basic law such as the origin of the Five Elements, it is only to let the cultivators understand its basic principles. The corresponding magical powers can only be achieved by oneself, or with the advice of predecessors.

Like the group of Taoist geniuses who had realized the true meaning of the laws in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, they had not created any magical powers on their own.

It was only later, with the help of rewards from the sect, that he was able to learn some of the great magical powers left behind by his predecessors.

As for whether it is suitable or not, Luo Chen doesn't know.

However, creating one's own magical powers is a time-consuming process, so Luo Chen is not in a hurry.

He collected a large number of classics at once, and then patted the Black King's thick dragon back.

"anything else?"

The Black King was stunned, then chuckled.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from the master's eyes."

As he spoke, another ball of black light came out of his mouth.

However, this time, the dazzling five-colored light could not even suppress the Black King’s source power.

Luo Chen's eyes fixed, and he uttered softly: "Five-color Pagoda!"

It is the natal magic weapon of Zhenren Shenyuan!
In that battle, Shen Yuan used only two magic weapons.

One is a crystal flying sword, and the other is this pagoda.

The former was destroyed by the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, while the latter fought with Luo Chen's natal magic weapon Hunyuan Ding for a long time, and was finally able to break away and cooperate with Shenyuan to perform that extremely powerful combination spell.

This shows how extraordinary this treasure is!
What attracted Luo Chen's attention the most was that this treasure, like his Hunyuan Ding, possessed all five elements.

"Shen Yuan and I are indeed similar. Not only do we both have the same five spiritual roots, but even our chosen life magic weapons are so similar."

With a sigh, Luo Chen took the five-colored pagoda and played with it carefully.

At this moment, the pagoda was severely damaged because of the death of its owner and the connection between mind and spirit.

A large number of formations collapsed, and spiritual energy leaked out from time to time.

This is also the main reason why Luo Chen discovered that the Black King had secretly hidden this thing.

During his research, Luo Chen slowly discovered some of the wonderful uses of this treasure.

Similar to Hunyuan Ding, it is mainly used for suppression!

From this aspect, it can also be seen that Shen Yuan and Luo Chen’s early practice directions are quite similar.

The cultivators with five spiritual roots have powerful magical powers, but during their practice, they can easily absorb mixed spiritual energy.

Therefore, in addition to the function of killing, the natal magic weapon must also have the effect of suppressing the restlessness of magic power and refining the impurities in magic power.

"If it was in its heyday, the value of this treasure would be no less than that of the Hunyuan Ding. It's a pity..."

Luo Chen shook his head and threw the five-colored pagoda out.

This thing was badly damaged and was of little use to him.

Maybe after it's repaired, the three-point shooting power can be restored, but that would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Luo Chen now has no shortage of such treasures.

When Black King saw this, his eyes lit up instantly.

However, before he could receive the pagoda, the thing slid around and fell back into Luo Chen's hands.

"Owner?"

Luo Chen ignored his surprise.

This was because at this moment Luo Chen's entire attention was focused on the Five-Colored Pagoda.

Not only did he scan with his spiritual consciousness and inject mana, but his fingertips also fired off a series of magical spells that landed on the pagoda.

As the magic formula took effect, those incomplete formations were attracted and started to operate.

Although it was not smooth, Luo Chen didn't care.

He cares about something else!

A wisp of withered fire emerged, landed on the pagoda, and began to burn slowly.

Because of the power of the fifth-order divine fire, the Black King dared not make any more noise and could only pull Luo Chen and fly quickly south.

After a long time, Luo Chen's voice of muttering to himself with a hint of surprise came from his back again.

“Almost missed it!”

"I never thought that Shen Yuan would be willing to spend so much money to add a small piece of Xirang into the refining of his life magic weapon!"

He was definitely not mistaken. After testing various casting techniques, he was able to detect the existence of Xirang from the five-colored pagoda.

Although it is very faint, it is estimated that the total amount is only the size of a fingernail.

But that is the Xirang in mythology and legend!
According to legend, only a small piece of Xirang is needed to prevent floods and fill the sea!
Of course, the small piece inside the Five Elements Pagoda cannot be compared with the small piece in mythology and legend.

But no matter what, the essence will not change.

It is Xirang after all!

It is the ancestor of many high-grade earth-property mineral materials such as Su Ni and Yan Tu.

Luo Chen had a deep understanding of how hard it was to find such "earth treasures".

The "heavenly soil" seen in the Land of Fallen Demons that year was a semi-finished product of the Demon Lord Liantian who collected a large amount of earth-attributed materials and tried to reverse-refine the Xirang in accordance with the true meaning of the original law of earth.

It can be seen from this that even a generation of demon king could not find this thing, and Zhenren Shenyuan was able to add this material to his own natal magic weapon, which shows how deep his blessings are.

"I don't know where he got it from."

A thought flashed through my mind, but it was only a fleeting thought.

Luo Chen was just excited right now and didn't want to go into it any further.

When Tian Yezi was refining the Hunyuan Ding for him, he once said that if he could add top-grade treasure like Xirang into the Hunyuan Ding, it would become even more perfect!
Luo Chen didn't know how perfect it could be, but he knew that at least it wouldn't be as tragic as the last time when cracks appeared on his life-saving magic weapon.

"That's a bargain for me, haha!"

Amidst the laughter, Luo Chen did not bother to restore his condition to its peak state. He used the magic power that he had just recovered and drove the withering and flourishing true fire to begin burning the five-colored pagoda.

He wanted to destroy all the formations on the pagoda, discard the useless materials, and extract the raw materials he needed.

Xirang is the most important goal!
However, the quality of other materials that can be integrated with Xirang must not be too low.

If it is suitable, Luo Chen will keep it. At that time, he will use the casting technique to integrate it into the Hunyuan Ding to enhance the foundation of his own life magic weapon.

The Black King could feel the movement on his back and naturally understood his master's thoughts.

He couldn't help feeling sad.

Those were the treasures it had picked up secretly while cleaning up the battlefield.

The slight scent of the earth contained in it has a natural attraction to him who has merged with the residual soul of the wild beast stone dragon.

"Forget it, it's just rags after all, let the owner be happy, I still have treasures here!"

The Black King thought happily as he flew farther and farther with Luo Chen, and Southern Xinjiang seemed to be right in front of them.

……

The name of Shanhaijie has a long history.

Because this world has countless mountains and numerous rivers and seas, it is named Mountain and Sea Realm.

The world is divided into five continents: east, west, north, south and center.

But this is actually not the whole of the Mountain and Sea Realm. It is only because a large number of humans live on these five continents that the landforms are divided into a world with these as the center.

Outside the five continents, there are millions of mountains, endless seas of monsters, and wild and remote lands that are seldom visited by humans.

For example, why is this area of ​​Southern Xinjiang so mysterious in the eyes of cultivators from other continents?

It's not just because the cultivators on this continent have strange temperaments and are difficult to contact, but also because the terrain of southern Xinjiang has several natural barriers to the outside world, blocking the active exploration of low-level cultivators from the outside world.

For example, the South Sea contains countless poisonous insects that block the connection between the south and the north.

And in the bordering areas of the southeast and southwest, there is a dangerous area known as the "Misty Wilderness", which is difficult to cross.

Southern Xinjiang is mountainous, humid, and filled with miasma, which gathers between the mountains and forests and forms a large amount of fog.

These fogs seem to only block vision, but in fact they contain a large amount of toxins, making it difficult to guard against.

Low-level cultivators simply didn't dare to go deep into it, let alone cross it.

But to the native monks of Southern Xinjiang, the Misty Wilderness that monks from other continents consider to be full of dangers is actually a place of natural treasures!

Things that are difficult for living beings to approach contain many natural treasures!

And because no one disturbs them, the treasures inside become more valuable as they accumulate over the years.

Therefore, over time, a profession was born in the world of immortal cultivation in southern Xinjiang - mountain seeker!

As the name suggests, it means someone who searches for treasure in the mountains.

They have similarities with the herbalists in the East Wilderness and the fishermen in the North Sea.

They all go deep into the untouched places to search for treasures.

But unlike those who go into the mountains to collect herbs or go into the sea to fish, mountain seekers have higher requirements.

Not only does one need powerful military force, but one also needs outstanding insight, so as to avoid taking the trouble to enter the foggy wilderness and miss out on unknown treasures.

Cheng Bai is such a mountain seeker.

His realm is not high, only around the middle stage of foundation building, but his background is quite powerful. He is a subordinate of one of the thirty-six cave masters in Fenglei Gorge, the strongest master of Minglei Cave.

In the outside world, no one dares to provoke him.

But at this moment, he was extremely cautious.

When in the foggy wilderness, one must not only guard against the ubiquitous poisonous miasma and the elusive poisonous monsters, but also be especially wary of other mountain seekers.

Once your whereabouts are exposed and your flaws are revealed, others will not care who you are and will kill people and steal their treasures.

With an anti-poison pill in his mouth and wearing a stealth suit, Cheng Bai was moving quickly towards his destination.

"According to the map of the mountain hunter we robbed and killed last time, there is a seven-foot-long broken-tailed alligator dragon lurking in the poisonous dragon pond not far ahead."

"Crocodile dragons are very common, but broken-tailed alligators are rare."

"Generally, when a crocodile with a broken tail appears, it is usually because it is parasitized by the larvae of the Wuxiang Gu, which causes the crocodile to itch unbearably, so it will voluntarily break its tail."

When thinking of the Wuxiang Gu, Cheng Bai's calm mood couldn't help but become a little more heated.

Wuxiang Gu, one of the high-level Gu insects.

It is a well-known combat poisonous insect that can make a cultivator's body invisible and disappear without a trace. It plays an excellent auxiliary role whether in fighting or escaping.

If he could capture one, even if it was just a juvenile, and sell it, he would not have to worry about the resources to cultivate to the Golden Core stage in the future.

As for the sales channels, he had already inquired about them before he even came.

The Lord of Minglei Cave is practicing a magic spell called "Lightning Magic" and urgently needs the assistance of the Wuxiang Gu.

If he captures him, he can just hand him over.

With the well-known generous character of the Lord of Minglei Cave, at the very least he would be rewarded with a large amount of money, at the very least he would be accepted as a disciple, and there would be hope for him to achieve the Golden Core Stage in the future.

"It must succeed!"

Cheng Bai raised the fork in his hand. This was a low-grade magic weapon he used specifically to capture the broken-tailed alligator dragon. He borrowed it from a trusted friend.

However, as he carefully groped his way to the Poison Dragon Pond, he did not see any trace of the Broken-Tailed Alligator Dragon.

"Fell asleep?"

"It shouldn't be!"

"It is spring now, and this is the season when they are most active, whether they are going out hunting or mating and breeding."

Cheng Bai checked patiently and finally found some traces of crushed grass and trees.

Sure enough, he hasn’t moved yet!

He must have gone out hunting.

Cheng Bai licked his lips and began to set up a crude siege formation around the Poison Dragon Pond.

Prepare to wait for the Broken-Tailed Alligator Dragon to come back and capture it in one fell swoop.

However, after waiting for a day and a night, there was no trace of him.

He has patience, but if the prey dies while he goes out hunting, then his trip will be in vain.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Bai first checked the arranged formation, and then followed the traces and began to chase the direction of the broken-tailed alligator dragon.

Ten miles, fifty miles, a hundred miles...

When they exceeded the normal range of activities of the crocodile, Cheng Bai couldn't help but feel nervous.

What kind of prey would make a Broken-Tailed Alligator Dragon leave its territory and chase it so far?
Suddenly!
His pupils shrank and his body trembled slightly.

In the sight, there were a large number of low-level monsters crawling on the ground in front, trembling and unable to move, as if they were suppressed by something.

One of the crocodiles, a tailless one, is quite eye-catching.

That is his goal of going deep into the misty wilderness this time!
However, this is not the point. The point is the reason why so many monsters gathered together.

A nameless barren mountain stands among a group of monsters.

Above the barren mountain, dark clouds gathered, lightning and thunder roared.

This astronomical phenomenon does not seem to be man-made, it seems to be naturally generated.

"Could it be that a rare treasure has been born?"

According to rumors, when top-notch natural treasures come into the world, they often cause celestial phenomena.

Especially when some high-level spirits communicate with spirits, natural changes will occur, similar to a great demon transforming or a strong man transcending a tribulation.

Moreover, unlike the intelligent big monsters, these monsters grow up in ignorance and their ability to deal with disasters is extremely average.

Often after successfully communicating with the spirits, one will fall into extreme weakness.

If we can capture it while it is weak, the benefits will far exceed that of a broken-tailed alligator or a formless poison larva!

In an instant, Cheng Bai felt extremely hot inside!

However, the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

A small tripod flew out uncontrollably from the barren mountain, spun around in the dark clouds, and then its light faded and sank into the belly of the mountain.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Bai's heart instantly turned cold.

"wrong!"

“It’s not that a rare treasure has appeared, but that a powerful person is refining a top-notch magic weapon here!”

He didn't dare to covet it, so he controlled his breath and retreated cautiously.

However, a rough voice came from the barren mountains, shaking his blood and making his soul tremble.

"My friend, now that you are here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

The sound was like thunder. Wherever it passed, the low-level monsters were torn to pieces and turned into puffs of blood mist.

Even the Broken-Tailed Alligator, which had extremely strong defensive capabilities, could not escape this fate.

Cheng Bai was horrified and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"I am a mountain seeker under the Minglei Cave Master. I have no intention of disturbing you in your meditation. Please spare my life!"

"Oh?"

There was a hint of doubt in the rough voice.

"I haven't appeared in the world for a long time, but I don't know when the Minglei Cave Master appeared in Southern Xinjiang?"

As he was speaking, a huge force erupted for no apparent reason and pulled Cheng Bai down the mountain from a long distance.

Cheng Bai looked horrified, but he felt a little relieved in his heart.

Although I don’t know where this old monster came from, it’s good to have something to talk about!
The rocks shook, and a big door slowly opened.

A figure walked out from it, wearing a tall crown with feathers on his head, a dazzling jade belt around his waist, a black armor covering his body, and cloud shoes on his feet. He was clearly on flat ground but seemed to be in the clouds.

Especially that extremely young and handsome face, which made Cheng Bai's eyes jump.

Where did such a young old monster come from? (End of this chapter)
