Longevity begins with alchemy master

Black Armor was gloomy.

The jade belt shines brightly.

The crown is as high as a mountain.

The golden feathers are like sharp blades.

When taking steps, the steps are ethereal and unpredictable, yet the movements are like the walking of a dragon and the leap of a tiger, so majestic that it takes one's breath away.

When Luo Chen, who was hiding in an unknown desert mountain to refine magic weapons, appeared, Cheng Bai felt as if a demon king walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and came in front of him with an extremely strong smell of blood.

"Gudong..."

Cheng Bai swallowed his saliva involuntarily and knelt on the ground without hesitation.

"Junior Cheng Bai, nice to meet you, senior!"

Luo Chen looked down at the man under his feet and said in a rough voice: "Your name is not important. I want to know who the Lord of Minglei Cave is and from which force he is from?"

Cheng Bai lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "The Master of Minglei Cave has no sect or school. He is a casual cultivator who has attained enlightenment. He is also the only Nascent Soul True Person among the thirty-six cave masters in Fenglei Gorge."

"Rogue cultivator?"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows. Since when did it become so easy for a casual cultivator to achieve the Nascent Soul stage?
In the vast North Sea, there are only three Nascent Soul cultivators who can be named.

Now that I have just arrived in Southern Xinjiang, there is such a young and unruly person?
Cheng Bai nodded repeatedly and talked about the growth experience of the Master of Minglei Cave.

Fenglei Gorge is a dangerous and harsh place, and no big force is interested in it.

Just because of the existence of a large number of scattered spirit veins, it attracted many helpless cultivators to venture here to practice.

Over time, the saying of thirty-six cave masters came into being.

At that time, most of the thirty-six cave masters were in the foundation-building stage, and occasionally one or two golden elixir masters were the exceptions.

They gather together and keep to themselves, and when faced with external forces, they will band together for warmth and fight against the foreign enemies.

However, in the last two or three hundred years, things have gradually changed.

Many cave masters have inexplicably achieved success in their practice and their realm has greatly improved.

Especially the master of Minglei Cave, who went through many hardships and dangers and finally became a Yuanying Zhenren and dominated the thirty-six caves.

Luo Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly after hearing these words.

"Two or three hundred years..."

As he was muttering, Cheng Bai breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head cautiously.

Looking at the extremely young face, he asked the doubts in his heart.

"I would like to ask, could you be a Yuanying Zhenren as well?"

"Oh?" Luo Chen looked at him with a half-smile, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"

Cheng Bai forced a smile, "My cave master loves making friends..."

"Tell the truth!"

Cheng Bai's heart trembled, and he said quickly: "In recent years, Fenglei Gorge has produced many masters, and the realms of independent cultivators have greatly improved. The Feng family, the largest Nascent Soul family nearby, believes that Fenglei Gorge is a hidden and unique treasure land, and they are determined to fight for it. Although my cave master is strong, he has been in the Nascent Soul stage for too short a time, and his connections are not enough. Facing the covetousness of the Feng family, he has a headache. Especially recently, the Feng family has been active, inviting allies, trying to invade and occupy Fenglei Gorge, which has become a big worry for my cave master. He practiced the "Lightning Method" because the Feng family's great master has outstanding body skills and an incredibly fast escape speed. He wanted to make up for this shortcoming..."

"You're so long-winded!" Luo Chen snorted, "Just tell me you want my help."

Cheng Bai nodded repeatedly, "That's right. If you can help me, the thirty-six caves of Fenglei Gorge and the thousands of cultivators will all be grateful. I have recommended a strong man to you, which is a great achievement. Maybe I can get some reward."

The latter sentence is quite frank.

Luo Chen asked without hesitation: "Is there any benefit?"

Cheng Bai opened his mouth, as if he was unable to react to such a direct request for favors.

Seeing this, Luo Chen waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I will ask Minglei Cave Master for it when the time comes."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the cave.

"Wait outside!"

Cheng Bai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had gotten through this stage.

He was afraid that these old monsters would kill people without asking for reasons.

As for whether it would be a blessing or a curse to introduce a strong man to his own cave, that was a matter for the future and had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to get through the present moment.

The only question is whether this old monster is strong enough?

He hasn't said yet whether he is a Yuanying Zhenren.

Just when he was feeling uneasy, a voice like thunder exploded into his ears.

"Although I am not at the Nascent Soul stage, any ordinary True Person cannot withstand my bare fists!"

Cheng Bai opened his mouth slightly, and two words echoed in his mind.

"Physical training!"

……

In the rough cave, Luo Chen looked at the mess, as if it had been chopped by knives and axes, struck by lightning and burned by fire, and his heart sank.

With a thought, the Hunyuan Ding appeared in front of him.

At first glance, it is full of spiritual energy and restrained brilliance.

Although it is not outstanding, anyone who sees it knows that it is definitely a rare treasure in the world.

There was naturally no problem with the Hunyuan Ding, and it was in very good condition, having already surpassed its former peak state.

Especially after smelting the Xirang and most of the five elements materials in the five-colored pagoda, its thickness is beyond words. Even the magical treasures such as Motian Cliff and Baizao Mountain, which were used for heavy suppression in their heyday, are difficult to compare with it.

The problem lies in the smelting process.

At that time, an inexplicable "heavenly calamity" came about!
The gathering of dark clouds, lightning and thunder that Cheng Bai had seen before were the strange phenomena caused by Luo Chen smelting his natal magic weapon.

Although it was not a true heavenly calamity, it merely attracted some of the free thunder power between heaven and earth.

But the Hunyuan Ding is just a real artifact, far from reaching the level of a spiritual treasure!

"How could it attract a weak thunder disaster?"

Luo Chen naturally didn't think it was a problem with Xirang. No matter how powerful Xirang was, the quantity was too small, and it was just a piece of material.

If there were such side effects, how could Shen Yuan dare to use it to fight the enemy over the years.

Immediately, he realized the two anomalies in his own life magic weapon.

One is the gray light from the Fallen Demon Land. Until now, he has not figured out what it is. He only knows that after integrating it, his success rate in refining magic weapons and elixirs will be extremely high, and it can even help refine the power of thunder.

If it was attracted by the gray light, that's possible.

The other one was the fifth-order divine Gu—the Jie Gu—taken out from his son Luo Lingxi’s body!
When he thought of the latter, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

The hidden dangers of Gu robbery are much greater than people imagine.

He couldn't even suppress the Immortal Valley, so he could only lock himself in the Immortal Valley.

Even so, the Fengxian Valley was plagued by constant natural disasters, making it difficult for people to live in peace.

"Could it be that after my life-saving magic weapon absorbed the robbery Gu, it also had the effect of attracting disasters?"

"This is not a good thing. If I use the Primordial Cauldron during the battle and attract a heavenly calamity, I will suffer."

With his expression constantly changing, Luo Chen began to make a series of moves in an uncertain manner.

He sent out a series of prohibitions towards the Hunyuan Ding to seal it temporarily.

This was the best solution he could think of at the moment.

Seal your natal magic weapon to prevent it from causing any unexpected trouble during your daily practice or when a sudden battle breaks out.

Fortunately, what Luo Chen has the most at hand now is various weapons.

Perhaps in terms of comprehensiveness, those treasures are not as good as the Hunyuan Ding, but in terms of single power, they are almost the same. Especially the Yuantu Sword, which is infinitely close to a spiritual treasure and a real killing weapon. If it is not used, it will definitely draw blood, which is even better than the killing power of the Hunyuan Ding.

"But I also have to consider the possibility that my reputation might spread to Southern Xinjiang. If my usual methods are discovered by others, it will be disadvantageous for me to travel in Southern Xinjiang."

While thinking, Luo Chen shook his hands and several treasures suddenly appeared.

There were thin needles shining with golden light, five dark and dull awls, a sword ball spinning endlessly, and a thick gray-white stone stick.

Especially the latter, there was a prominent sword mark on the stone stick, which was caused by Yuan Tu's sword back then.

Luo Chen thought about it and swallowed the sword pill into his purple palace.

Although the Great Five Elements Sword Formation is good, it is obviously an immortal method and is not very suitable for the "physical cultivator" identity he has currently positioned himself as.

Moreover, during the battle at Lingtian Pass, he also used the immature Great Five Elements Sword Formation many times, and some people knew about this method.

So, that leaves three more.

The Soul-Weaving Needle and the Law-Suppressing Five-Element Cone were made by the Great Demon King Baizu. One can attack the soul, and the other can seal magic power.

The stone stick, named the Hun Tian Stick, originated from the great demon king Huang Man. It did not go through any refining, but purely due to its special material, it became a powerful weapon comparable to the real thing.

"Using these three as the main means of attack, combined with the Black Dust Armor, the Nine-Shining Jade Belt, the Pingshan Crown, the two Deadly Golden Feathers, and the Buyun Shoes, it should be enough."

Luo Chen muttered and moved frequently.

Insert the gold needle into the base of the tongue.

Black cones are embedded between the belts.

The thick stone stick kept getting smaller in his hand. Finally, Luo Chen seemed to have thought of something and, in a playful mood, he actually stuffed it into his ear.

Patting his ears, Luo Chen grinned.

"That's it!"

Afterwards, he boldly left the cave where he had temporarily stayed.

If outsiders knew that Luo Chen prepared eight real artifacts to travel in Southern Xinjiang, they would probably be shocked.

With such a fabulous fortune, where in the world can't he go?

He is really too cautious!
……

"what is this?"

The sudden question almost made Cheng Bai's hands tremble, and he crushed the illusory bug.

When I turned around, it was the senior from before.

He took a deep breath and respectfully handed over the insect in his hand.

"This is the larva of the Wu Xiang Gu. It likes to parasitize the bodies of reptile monsters. Once it grows up, it will devour the monster's essence and blood."

Luo Chen frowned, took the larva and looked at it carefully. It looked like an earthworm.

"What does it do?"

Cheng Bai was a little surprised. Doesn’t this senior know much about poisonous insects?

The fame of the Wuxiang Gu is known to everyone in Southern Xinjiang!

Luo Chen may have seen through his confusion, and said calmly: "The path I take is different from that of ordinary Gu cultivators. I am a physical cultivator, and I have been wandering in the wilderness for many years, so I don't know much about these little things."

It turned out to be the case.

Cheng Bai nodded, and then couldn't help but say: "This is not a small thing! Once it reaches adulthood, after the cultivator refines it, he can transform into a formless being and become extremely agile."

"The Feng family's supreme wind escape technique is extremely exquisite. It is difficult for ordinary people to touch the edge of the clothes. My cave master is very distressed about this. He finally found a "Lightning Lightning Technique", but because of the lack of the Wuxiang Gu, he has been unable to master it."

"Senior, the Wu Xiang Gu in your hand is still a larva, but if you use the secret method to catalyze it, there may be a chance to make it mature early, which will help our cave master learn the true method."

Luo Chen was surprised. Using poisonous insects to assist in practicing magic?

He knew that there was such a practice in southern Xinjiang.

Various poisonous insects are used to assist in cultivation, from the initial stage of Qi refining to the establishment of the foundation and the formation of the elixir. The shadow of the poisonous insects runs through the bodies of the cultivators in southern Xinjiang.

But I didn't expect that it could also be used to assist in practicing magic.

For some reason, he thought of the brief encounter he had with Tianshan Zhenren.

The opponent once used sword skills. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that the sword skills were also performed using the poisonous insects.

Sword Gu?

And there is this body-moving poisonous insect?
So are there any suitable poisonous insects to assist in body training?

When he thought of this, Luo Chen's heart began to pound.

His body refining realm has progressed extremely slowly since he reached the middle stage of the fourth stage.

The self-created work "Ten Thousand Paths Converging" had little effect.

Later, he relied on the batch of thousand-year-old Five Temples Immortal Brew that the Black King got him, which enabled him to improve his body refinement from the internal organs little by little. Now he has barely reached [Ancient Fourth Stage 61/100]

Measured by the realm of immortals, it is around the sixth level of Nascent Soul.

It seems to be equivalent to his current Qi Refining realm, but you have to know that Luo Chen's body refining progress once far surpassed Qi Refining. When he achieved the fourth level, he was still in the middle stage of Golden Core.

After many years, he was actually caught up.

It can be seen how slow the progress is.

Moreover, the stock of the thousand-year-old Five Temples Immortal Wine is limited. With each jar consumed, one jar is left. After so many years, there are only five jars left.

Luo Chen was reluctant to continue drinking it, so he kept it for safekeeping.

If we can find a method in southern Xinjiang that can increase our progress in body refining again, then this trip will be worthwhile regardless of whether we can find the Demon Heart Gu Emperor or not.

Of course, Luo Chen suppressed this impulse and did not ask Cheng Bai any more questions.

As a senior master, you should have the demeanor and bearing of a senior master.

An old monster who has not appeared in the world for a long time cannot behave like a naive newcomer.

In particular, the character positioning he gave himself now was completely different from the former Danzong Luo Chen.

Under Cheng Bai's eager gaze, Luo Chen threw the Wuxiang Gu larva back.

Then!

Turn around!

Press the void!
boom!
In Cheng Bai's wide-open eyes, the nameless barren mountain that had previously attracted countless monsters to worship was crushed into powder by a huge force.

Dust rises from the earth and waves explode in the sky.

A surge of air rolled in.

Luo Chen waved his hands and said calmly, "Let's go!"

Cheng Bai swallowed his saliva, was swept away by a gust of wind, and followed Luo Chen up into the clouds.

Without any magic flying weapon or great magical power, it flew in the air so quickly.

He pointed in a direction and Luo Chen moved quickly towards that direction.

After a long silence, Cheng Bai finally asked cautiously with great awe: "May I ask how I should address you, Senior?"

Amid the whistling wind, Luo Chen's voice penetrated him like steel.

"I am Qi Tian. Before my enemies died, they said that I acted in a domineering way. That's why I got a Taoist name called Tyrant Cultivator."

The tyrant cultivator of heaven!

Cheng Bai kept this name, which was so arrogant and comparable to the heaven, firmly in his mind. (End of this chapter)
