Longevity begins with alchemy master

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Even in the world of cultivating immortals, one cannot escape this truth.

Luo Chen was well aware that he had caused such a big fuss in the Zhaoying Sect that he would not be able to hide it from anyone.

Moreover, unlike the North Sea where information is blocked and the major sects in the East Wilderness mind their own business, news in the South Border spreads extremely quickly and widely because of the unique signal Gu.

Therefore, when Taoist Zheng Guan, the lord of Jiuai Fairy City, called out his name, he knew that the incident of Zhaoying Sect a year ago had happened.

If it were someone else, they might be terrified by this.

After all, a powerful force like the Zhaoying Sect, which has been rooted in southern Xinjiang for many years, involves many people.

Whether it is the friendly sects with whom they have deep connections, or the Lantern Master's own network of contacts, when gathered together they form a huge force.

Who wouldn't feel terrified under the oppression of such forces?
However, Luo Chen didn't care about it at all!

When he reached this level and possessed great power, he was not afraid of beating the young and the old. After he finished one nest, he would still have another nest.

If he is really provoked, he doesn't mind cutting down the mountain and killing the whole family.

Luo Chen was in front, walking like a dragon and a tiger, looking very majestic.

Zheng Guan was standing behind him, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

This cultivator named Qi truly deserves the title of a tyrant cultivator!

Such a demeanor is extremely rare in the Southern Border immortal cultivation world, which advocates keeping a low profile. It would be bad luck for the Zhaoying Sect to have offended this person.

He was a little curious and asked in a low voice: "Master Minglei Cave, is Fellow Daoist Qi from Fenglei Gorge?"

The Master of Minglei Cave nodded as a matter of course, "Yes, he is one of the thirty-six masters of Fenglei Gorge. Although he attained enlightenment later, his strength is still better than mine."

Taoist Zheng Guan glanced at him with a half-smile, "Really?"

An unnatural look flashed across Minglei Cave Master's face, but he quickly said firmly, "How can this be false? If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate Fenglei Gorge."

Taoist Zheng Guan waved his hand, saying that it was too rude.

Besides, there is no need!
After entering the main hall, Taoist Zheng Guan spoke subconsciously: "Daoyou Bei, let me introduce you..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped.

He looked puzzledly at the two people standing opposite each other inside, especially Qi Tian who had a suspicious look on his face.

"Do you know?"

Bei Puti shook his head. "I have only heard of Fellow Daoist Qi's name before, but I have never seen him. Fellow Daoist Qi's behavior seems to indicate that he knows me?"

Luo Chen had just arrived in Southern Xinjiang, so how could he possibly know the local cultivators?

He just vaguely felt a familiar aura from the other person.

"Maybe I recognized the wrong person!" Luo Chen explained.

This time, it was Bei Bodhi's turn to look surprised and doubtful.

Taoist Zheng Guan hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The world of immortal cultivation is vast, so it is not surprising to have one or two similar people. Let me introduce them to you!"

"Bei Bodhi, the left envoy of Luojiao."

"Qitian, the second cave master of Fenglei Gorge."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Bei Puti couldn't help but ask, "What kind of treasure land is Fenglei Gorge that has produced two powerful people, Fellow Daoist Qi and Fellow Daoist Minglei."

The Lord of Minglei Cave said dryly, "It is just a place where desperate cultivators retreat from the world. It is extremely bad to talk about the natural treasures. I achieved the Nascent Soul stage only by luck."

Bei Puti shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Qi, I guess this isn't just luck, right?"

Luo Chen said calmly: "After I made some achievements in my cultivation, I left Southern Border and traveled around the Mountain and Sea Realm. My footprints have spread across the four continents of the world, and I have even set foot on the Endless Monster Sea, which is rarely visited by people. It is natural that I have such strength, and it is not just relying on the geographical advantage of Fenglei Gorge!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.

It is normal for monks to travel.

However, due to the burden of family sects, they are often confined to one or two continents, especially when their realm is relatively low. The southern border cultivation world alone is enough for low-level cultivators to travel in for a lifetime.

This Qi Tian, ​​his footprints are all over the four continents of the world?

The Lord of Minglei Cave subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. With these words as a basis, it would be easier to explain where Luo Chen came from in the future.

After a few people told each other their backgrounds and chatted for a while, the topic got on track.

Taoist Zheng Guan said solemnly, "You all must have come here to join our Xiongyue Zombie Alliance, right?"

Bei Puti nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right! It is said that the leader of Xiongyue Zombie Alliance, Songyang Zhenren, has teamed up with Li Tianshi to research a way to solve the problem of going astray and becoming possessed. Bei wants to make further progress in this life, so he is in urgent need of this method!"

"Then are you ready to become the enemy of the Gate of Life and Death?" Taoist Zheng Guan asked back.

Bei Bodhi hesitated.

The Gate of Life and Death is the only sacred place in Southern Xinjiang. Not to mention being its enemy, no one even dares to provoke it on a normal day.

Now, the cultivators from Xiongyue Zombie Alliance actually said it so carelessly?
Taoist Zheng Guan shook his head. "You only want the secret method but don't want to take the risk. Bei Zuoshi, is there such a good thing in the world?"

Bei Puti fell silent for a while before he whispered, "It took a long time for our Luo Sect to recover after the chaos in the inner sect. We don't want to get involved in any fights anymore. Besides, I am only one of the two envoys, and I cannot represent the Luo Sect."

"Then please ask your sect leader to agree, and then you can go to Songyang Alliance Leader to ask for the prescription!"

Taoist Zheng Guan seemed to be accustomed to this kind of situation, and even his responses were very familiar with it.

However, the master of Minglei Cave on the side looked bewildered.

What is obsession?
What is the enemy of the Holy Land?

Luo Chen gradually reacted.

If the problems he encountered while practicing in the Zhaoying Sect were not an isolated case, it would mean that similar situations had also occurred in other places in the Southern Xinjiang immortal cultivation world.

When a Nascent Soul cultivator is practicing, he is too close to the heaven and earth. Under the erosion of a large amount of vital energy, it is very easy for him to go astray, or even be assimilated by the heaven and earth!

And this period of time should have lasted for a long time.

The Xiongyue Zombie Alliance may have relied on the means to resolve this disaster, which led many "desperate" Nascent Soul True Immortals to join in voluntarily.

This time point should be about two to three hundred years.

But there is no similar situation in either the Eastern Wilderness or the North Sea of ​​Zhongzhou?

"Is it because of this reason that Tianshan Zhenren left his hometown and joined Zhongzhou Tianyuan Dao Sect?"

The Tianshan religion in southern Xinjiang had long since declined.

As the last leader of the sect, Tianshan Zhenren had no worries and could have just left.

But the situation is not so simple for these local factions in southern Xinjiang that were once quite prosperous.

"But why didn't the Lord of Minglei Cave reveal this hidden danger?"

"Is it his first Nascent Soul? Or is it Fenglei Gorge..."

Luo Chen suddenly realized that although the environment in Fenglei Gorge was extremely dangerous.

But it was precisely because of the conflict in the earth's energy and the strong wind and thunder that it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it resisted the erosion of the vital energy of heaven and earth.

As smart as Luo Chen was, he was able to infer a lot of things just from the few words they exchanged and combined with his own experience.

As for whether the inference is correct, that will be verified later.

On the other side, seeing that Luo Sect's Left Emissary Bei Puti was hesitant, Taoist Zheng Guan did not urge him. He turned around and looked at Luo Chen and Minglei Cave Master.

"The last time I met the cave master was in Taimao Immortal City. This time, fellow Taoist took the initiative to come to Jiuai Immortal City. Have you noticed the changes in your cultivation?"

Minglei Cave Lord opened his mouth, and then couldn't help but ask curiously: "What kind of changes have taken place? Please tell me frankly, Taoist friend!"

"what?"

"what?"

Two soft exclamations came from the mouths of Zheng Guan and Bei Puti respectively.

They looked at each other and all focused their attention on the Master of Minglei Cave.

How come he hasn't been affected yet?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became strange.

Until a light cough was heard, interrupting the two people's gaze. "Ahem!"

Luo Chen said calmly: "If you have something to say, please speak frankly. Ming Lei and I are in a remote place, and we don't know much about the information of the immortal cultivation world. There is no need to beat around the bush."

Taoist Zheng Guan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said frankly:
"This piece of sky, this piece of land."

As he spoke, he pointed to the sky and then to the ground.

"This land of southern Xinjiang has been undergoing subtle changes."

Luo Chen didn't take it seriously, "Things in the world change over time, nothing stays the same."

"It's different." Taoist Zheng Guan shook his head and said solemnly, "That kind of change is from top to bottom and cannot be changed. A top expert discovered that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is constantly growing."

The Thunder Cave Master was puzzled, "Isn't the increase of spiritual energy a good thing?"

Taoist Zheng Guan laughed: "Of course it's a good thing for casual cultivators, so you have the opportunity to achieve the Nascent Soul stage. However, the spiritual energy in the world is getting less and less due to the cultivation of cultivators like us. Especially after the great masters ascend to heaven, they will take away a lot of spiritual energy. Where does this increased spiritual energy come from?"

For those who practice Taoism, all great power belongs to themselves!

But where does this great power come from?

Rely on practice?

No, it is by plundering and seizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

It is conceivable that with this constant plundering and grabbing, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will become less and less, until it is gradually exhausted and eventually enters the Dharma Ending Age.

Therefore, there is a distinction between ancient times, pre-modern times, and even modern times.

In ancient times, the wilderness was rampant, absorbing and exhaling the vitality of heaven and earth, and chasing the stars and the moon.

In ancient times, monsters and beasts appeared in large numbers and wreaked havoc on the earth.

Up to now, the human race is the protagonist, monopolizing the essence of the five continents.

People who don’t understand what’s going on see that the times are changing, with one person taking the stage and the other taking the stage.

People who are truly knowledgeable see the most essential things.

That is, from wild beasts to demon beasts and even humans, their bodies are getting smaller and smaller, and their consumption of spiritual energy is gradually decreasing. Especially for humans, with the help of various exquisite skills, their consumption is reduced, but the utilization rate is greatly improved.

But no matter how skillfully it is used, it still cannot change the huge number of immortal cultivators who have seized countless spiritual energy and trapped it in their bodies.

In particular, as their realm improves, their lifespan becomes longer and longer. The longer they live, the more spiritual energy is trapped in their bodies.

On the other hand, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is gradually decreasing.

But now, the spiritual energy in southern Xinjiang is becoming more and more abundant!
This is so abnormal, there must be something wrong!

The master of Minglei Cave didn't understand what he meant and frowned.

Although Luo Chen, who was extremely knowledgeable, vaguely understood what the other party meant, he still didn't grasp the key point.

Taoist Zheng Guan did not beat around the bush and said bluntly: "The balance between heaven and earth is out of balance, and the spiritual energy is intensifying. This is a sign that the spiritual energy tide is coming! If it continues to develop like this, the ocean of vitality that only the Divine Transformation cultivators can explore will overturn the southern border, causing a violent spiritual energy tide and destroying everything!"

Thunder eclipses everything.

Luo Chen laughed.

"Fellow Daoist, this is too alarmist!"

Taoist Zheng Guan shrugged his shoulders. "Whether it is true or not, you can judge for yourself. But I only want to say two things. The high-level cultivators in Southern Xinjiang often go astray during their daily practice. This is one of the manifestations of the sinking of the Yuan Qi Ocean, which is extremely close to Southern Xinjiang. And the second point... the source of this disaster must be within the Gate of Life and Death!"

Is this the reason why Xiongyue Zombie Alliance wants to attack the Gate of Life and Death?
Luo Chen was thoughtful.

After that, there is nothing much to talk about.

Luo Chen and the others revealed their original intention of coming here, which was to participate in the Nascent Soul Exchange Conference in Mijie Mountain and purchase some resources.

Taoist Zheng Guan did not refuse, but said that they had to wait for a few days, and then arranged accommodation for them first.

……

"The spiritual energy in this cave is so abundant, let's give it to Fellow Daoist Qi!"

Bei Puti rejected a fourth-grade intermediate cave that was specially arranged for him because he arrived first, and chose another ordinary cave in Jiuai Fairy City.

The Master of Minglei Cave stood aside and said with a smile: "It seems that they all know your reputation. There is no need for me to introduce you at all!"

Luo Chen waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.

Reputation is a stepping stone, but where this stone comes from is also a science.

Without the Lord of Minglei Cave, he would not have been so successful.

The Lord of Minglei Cave couldn't help himself when he saw Luo Chen examining the cave.

"Brother Qi, what Zheng Guan said earlier, do you think it's true or false?"

Luo Chen stood at the door of the training room and said without turning his head, "Whether it is true or not, it is not important. But I just met them for the first time, and they are so intimate with me. They even said such big words that the world will be overturned. It can't be said that they are alarmist."

The Lord of Minglei Cave nodded in approval. He had never noticed any changes in the world while in Fenglei Gorge.

After a thorough inspection, Luo Chen confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the place.

I was also looking forward to Mount Mijie.

The spiritual veins of Jiuai Fairy City are of such high quality that they almost surpass the mountain gates of many ordinary Nascent Soul sects.

And this is just the gateway to Mount Mijie.

It can be imagined that the spiritual veins in Mijie Mountain will only get better!

Ordinary people might not dare to practice freely because they are afraid of the assimilation of heaven and earth, but he, Luo Chen, has no such concerns.

The deep purple palace barrier, plus the help of the Chenyuan Immortal Mirror which combined the power of three souls, was enough to allow him to practice freely.

I just wonder what method the leader of Songyang uses to solve other people's problems in this regard?

"By the way, let me ask you something." Luo Chen seemed to have remembered something and asked the Thunder Cave Master. "Do you know about Bei Bodhi?"

The Thunder Cave Master was startled at first, then said frankly: "I haven't had much contact with him, so I don't know him very well. But I still know a little about his background."

As he told his story, Luo Chen's impression of Bei Bodhi became more three-dimensional.

Luo Sect is a great sect in Southern Xinjiang!
He has tens of thousands of followers, and the number of inner disciples is as high as hundreds of thousands!
There are six Nascent Soul True Immortals among them.

The leader in the late Nascent Soul stage, the two left and right envoys in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and the three Dharma Kings who protect the religion.

But that year, an unexpected incident occurred within the inner sect of the Luo Cult.

Nan Yiqi, the right-hand man of the Luo sect who was on par with Bei Puti, secretly killed outstanding disciples within the sect, practiced evil skills, and even set his sights on the three Dharma Kings who protected the sect.

At that time, people thought that he had refined the insect inside the Demon Heart Gu, so his character changed drastically.

Later, when the leader personally took action to suppress him, it was discovered that he had actually practiced the North Sea Demonic Way and wanted to use all the members of the Luo Sect to refine a million evil souls banner that could threaten the great gods!

In a great battle within the inner sect, the Right Emissary Nan Yiqi disappeared without a trace, and the Luo Sect was also severely damaged.

After saying this, the Lord of Minglei Cave couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"I have also heard about the North Sea Soul Banners. They are divided into different levels by the number of souls. There is a saying that ordinary Ten Thousand Soul Banners are comparable to magic weapons, 100,000 Evil Soul Banners are comparable to real weapons, and 1 million Evil Soul Banners are comparable to spiritual treasures. But Nan Yiqi's idea is too simple. Even if he really let millions of followers of the Huo Jinluo Sect refine the Evil Soul Banners, it is estimated that they will be too complicated. How can they threaten the great power of the God of Transformation?"

Luo Chen nodded in agreement.

The refining of soul flags is not as simple as just looking at the number of souls inside, but also the quality.

The Million Evil Soul Banner, which is comparable to the spiritual treasure level, must contain at least a hundred Yuanying-level souls, and also a main soul of the Deity Transformation level.

Nan Yiqi took a wrong turn.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen finally realized that Bei Bodhi would give him a little sense of familiarity.

"Nan Yiqi, Bei Bodhi... Hehe, the old ghost Nan Qi, who I met once in the North Sea Demon Luo School, exudes the same aura as Bei Bodhi, right?"

After thinking it through, Luo Chen bid farewell to the Lord of Minglei Cave and closed the cave.

The changes in southern Xinjiang are dangerous to others.

But for me, it is nothing short of a blessing.

As long as you lock up the Purple Palace and have the help of the Chenyuan Immortal Mirror, you can practice as much as you want! (End of this chapter)
