Longevity begins with alchemy master

Suddenly, there were clouds and winds on the calm mountain top.

Thousands of ancient seal characters rose from the void, flew upwards, and weaved into a golden net in the clouds.

Rays of light landed on the square outside the hall on the top of the mountain.

Luo Chen is also among them.

After making eye contact with the Lord of Minglei Cave, he turned his attention to his surroundings.

At first glance, you already know what's going on.

"Including the newcomers like us, there are more than forty real masters!"

This is no small number. One should know that in the Eastern Wilderness, excluding the strong men from the holy lands, there were only seventy or eighty Nascent Soul masters at its peak.

Now, the Xiongyue Zombie Alliance occupies about half!
In comparison, the largest cultivator alliance Luo Chen had ever seen, the Canghai Zhengdao Alliance, was inferior to it.

"I wonder what means the leader of Songyang used to bring these people together?"

While Luo Chen was pondering in his mind, exclamations were heard from time to time in the field.

"Fellow Daoist Xie, why are you also in Mijie Mountain?"

"The owner of Hidden Sword Tower, the world only thought that he was cultivating his character and hiding his sword, but no one expected that he had joined the Xiongyue Zombie Alliance."

"Brother Guan, long time no see!"

The behemoth Xiongyue Zombie Alliance, even if only what has surfaced, is just the tip of the iceberg.

It was not until this moment that the newcomers realized how many powerful people in Southern Xinjiang had secretly joined the Zombie Alliance during the past two hundred years.

Luo Chen didn't know many people, so he wasn't deeply touched.

But if we compare it with the alliances we have seen in the past, we can clearly see the importance of this one.

"The Xiongyue Zombie Alliance has made up its mind to go against the Life and Death Sect!"

As he was expressing his emotion, Luo Chen suddenly felt someone's eyes were fixed on him.

Not one!
He swept past calmly without any avoidance.

Ning Yuzhuo was calm but resentful, Marquis Ziyi was eager to try, and Taoist Zheng Guan nodded with a smile.

On the contrary, Bei Puti, the left emissary of the Nara sect, nodded in a friendly manner when he met Luo Chen's gaze, with some belated realization of doubt.

He ignored it and his attention was instantly focused.

Because the door of the ancient palace on the top of the mountain was slowly opening.

Three figures gradually appeared in front of everyone.

There were two men and one woman, all of them had powerful auras.

The leader was dressed in a crimson purple Taoist robe, with an extremely majestic face. His sword-like eyebrows seemed to be able to cut through the morning mist, and everyone who looked into his eyes trembled in their hearts.

The other two men, one has white hair and a youthful face, a kind gaze, and snow-white eyebrows hanging on both sides. Just looking at him gives one a sense of high moral character and respect.

The other female cultivator, by contrast, was not as good at maintaining her beauty. Her hunched body, layers of wrinkles, and bright red robe made her look out of place.

"Master Songyang has come out!"

When the three people were seen, there was a slight commotion in the square.

The Lord of Minglei Cave approached Luo Chen and introduced him uncertainly, "According to rumors, the leader is Immortal Songyang. The old Taoist with white hair and a youthful face is the famous Li Tianshi, and the other female cultivator is Granny Hongye."

Luo Chen nodded and asked, "Didn't they say that there is another extremely powerful cultivator within the Zombie Alliance?"

"You mean the Zangsheng Old Man?" The Thunder Cave Master reacted and replied cautiously, "That person has a very strange personality and rarely shows up. If you join the Zombie Alliance, it's best to have less dealings with him."

"Why?" Luo Chen asked.

However, before the Lord of Minglei Cave could answer, the Immortal Songyang above had already spoken.

"My fellow masters, this is the first time that our Xiongyue Zombie Alliance has made a public appearance. I hope that everyone can gain something from this exchange meeting."

"Enough of the small talk, I'll just tell you three rules!"

"First, in the exchange meeting, any transaction is based on mutual consent. You are not allowed to use realm pressure, and you are not allowed to use force to buy or sell."

"Second, the exchange will last for ten days. After ten days, those who have not joined the Zombie Alliance will automatically leave and are not allowed to stay."

"at last……"

Songyang Zhenren swept his majestic gaze over the crowd and said in a cold voice:

"No use of force is allowed in Mijie Mountain. Violators will be killed without mercy!"

When the three words "Kill without mercy" were uttered, a powerful aura exploded with Taoist Songyang as the center.

The Nascent Soul Realm, which was as big as a mountain, suddenly pressed down on everyone's heads.

Those with weaker magical powers almost feel like they can't breathe.

Even Luo Chen felt that his body was somewhat slow.

His mind focused, and he saw the big picture from the details, and immediately had a clear judgment of the strength of Master Songyang.

"A genuine great monk!"

"From the surface, his power is no less than Yue Sanren, Tian Duzi and others."

“If his domain is fully opened, he would probably be one of the top figures among those in the late Nascent Soul stage.”

above.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest with white hair and youthful face smiled gently and said, "Fellow Taoist of Songyang, we are all fellow Taoists from Southern Xinjiang, why do you have to do this?"

Taoist Master Songyang pursed his lips, and when he saw that everyone below was shocked by him, he nodded slightly.

The huge Nascent Soul realm suddenly shrank.

He bowed and said, "Everyone, please come in!"

As he acted like this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more lively.

Figures filed into the hall one after another.

As soon as I entered.

They will be greeted by the corresponding waiters and arranged to their respective seats.

The same is true for Luo Chen.

The waiter was still whispering to him about the procedures for the next ten days.

"Every day, a high-level Zombie Alliance master will give a public sermon. If you have any ideas, you can also go up and share your cultivation experience."

"There are other rooms in the side hall. If you want to communicate with others in private, or trade certain resources, please let us know at any time and we will arrange the corresponding room."

"If you have any other needs, please tell me and I will do my best to meet them."

Luo Chen looked at the beautiful waitress, nodded slightly, and then sat down in a conspicuous seat in the center of the hall.

As soon as he sat down, he attracted a lot of attention.

Although it was an exchange meeting, it was obvious that the seating arrangements were based on each person's strength and status.

Luo Chen is just a powerful man who has just risen to fame, but he can be arranged to sit in such a prominent seat, which shows how much the Xiongyue Zombie Alliance values ​​him.

Even Bei Bodhi was merely on par with him.

You know, Bei Bodhi not only has strong personal strength, but also has the identity of the Left Envoy of Luo Sect.

Behind him is a great sect in southern Xinjiang that has been passed down for thousands of years. Luo Chen has achieved such a status solely through his personal strength.

Who dares to underestimate it?

As soon as he sat down, Bei Puti couldn't help but start a conversation with him. "Fellow Daoist Qi, you almost mistook me for someone you know. I was familiar with someone you know. Who is that person and where is he?"

Are you reacting now?

Or did he dare to come and inquire about the situation only after investigating me behind my back?

Luo Chen said calmly: "That person's real name is unknown. His fellow Daoists from Beihai only call him Nanqi Old Ghost. The aura of his magical power is indeed somewhat similar to that of Daoist Fellow Bei."

"Old Ghost Nanqi..." Bei Puti muttered the name in a low voice, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, "Did he escape to the North Sea?"

He wanted to ask again, but Luo Chen had already started talking to the Purple-Robed Marquis next to him.

Seeing this, he didn't want to disturb him, thinking that Marquis Zi Yi was being too rude.

The Purple-Robed Marquis was indeed not very polite.

As soon as he met Luo Chen, he asked eagerly: "Qitian, I heard that you focus on the way of body cultivation. It just so happens that I have also practiced some body cultivation methods. Can we find time to exchange some knowledge and verify each other's experience?"

Luo Chen curled his lips and said, "The leader of Songyang just said that no violence is allowed in Mijie Mountain. What? Do you want to disobey the leader's order?"

Purple-Robed Marquis waved his hand, "It's alright. Of course, a fight is not allowed. But if we just have a little sparring in my cave, who can say anything?"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, then agreed without hesitation.

"I also want to see the attainments of the Southern Border cultivators in the way of body refining!"

Marquis Zi Yi was delighted. "Then you have found the right person. The way of body training has long been in decline in Southern Xinjiang. If it were not for the sake of my physical strength, I would not have practiced this as well. But even if I practiced it as well, I am confident that I am no less capable than an orthodox body trainer."

In just a few words, the two exchanged the message.

Luo Chen's signal Gu is the most common Gu pigeon.

This was something I specifically asked the master of Minglei Cave for to refine before leaving Fenglei Gorge.

The monks in southern Xinjiang are not used to using Jade Sound Transmission to communicate with each other, and the use of flying swords to transmit letters is limited to a certain distance.

In comparison, various kinds of magical insects that possess a certain level of intelligence and can travel long distances have become popular.

The Gu pigeon is the most common and widely spread one.

In addition, there are some more special and unique poisons.

For example, what Zi Yi Hou exchanged with Luo Chen was actually a purple-blood mosquito, with mysterious spots flashing on it.

Marquis Zi Yi did not expect that Luo Chen had such a generous personality and he quickly agreed to the sparring match.

But soon, he found out why the other party was so generous.

"You want the high-level body-refining technique that I didn't trade last time?"

As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at the Master of Minglei Cave in a remote corner.

At the last private gathering, that guy seemed to be there, and he was introduced by the Lantern Master.

Immediately, he frowned and said, "That high-level body-refining technique is extremely difficult to practice and has great risks. I don't recommend you to try it."

"Oh?" Luo Chen smiled and said, "You've already sold them all, so why wouldn't you suggest it?"

Purple-Robed Marquis shrugged, "It's not mine. I'm just helping someone deal with it in exchange for some usable resources. If you really want it, we can talk about it in private later when we're free."

"it is good!"

Luo Chen agreed decisively.

And the sermon in the temple officially began.

The first speaker was not the leader of Xiongyue Zombie Alliance, but Li Tianshi of Baiyue Sect!
He is the most outstanding Gu maker in Southern Xinjiang in the past five hundred years.

Even when the Gate of Life and Death had not yet closed its mountain gate, they often invited him to exchange ideas on the art of Gu refining.

In the world of immortal cultivation in southern Xinjiang, he is a truly respected and virtuous person.

Countless powerful people are proud to own the poisonous insects he personally refined.

At this moment, he was preaching in person, and everyone put away their distracting thoughts and listened attentively.

Even Luo Chen listened carefully, thinking that one can learn from others' experience.

At the head of the main hall, Li Tianshi, a man with white hair and a youthful face and kind eyes, sits on a cushion. In front of him is the table filled with the scent of sandalwood, as if he is an immortal preaching.

The clear sounds that came out of his mouth had a subtle effect of refreshing the mind and giving people a feeling of enlightenment.

"Our cultivation is nothing more than refining Qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness."

“Although the great principles are of the same origin, each has its own unique path.”

"For example, in our Southern Border, we have taken a different approach, using Gu worms as a supplement, and have developed a Gu cultivation method that is different from the other four continents."

"You have been able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, so you must have studied Gu worms. But I have observed that you often only seek to know whether the Gu worms are powerful or not, but do not understand the essence of Gu worms. Therefore, you often know the results but not the reasons, and you cultivate without thinking. Although your realm improves quickly, you do not understand the truth."

"This is also one of the reasons why there are so few geniuses in my Southern Border who can understand the true meaning of the laws in the Nascent Soul stage!"

After these words were spoken, the monks in the hall, who were already extremely focused, became even more alert.

Even Luo Chen couldn't help but nod secretly.

In his opinion, although the monks in Southern Xinjiang are very mysterious, their methods are also rather strange.

But in terms of actual combat power, he may not be much stronger than the strong men of the same level in the other four continents.

In fact, throughout his journey, he had never seen anyone who had comprehended the true meaning of the law in advance.

From this point, we know that the method used by Southern Xinjiang monks to use poisonous insects as an aid in their cultivation is a shortcut, but it is difficult to lead to the path to enlightenment!
He didn't believe that there were no brilliant and talented people in Southern Xinjiang, but the result was so straightforward.

Even in the Life and Death Sect, there is only one great god-transforming master, which is far from being comparable to the grand occasion of the Beihai Yuanmo Sect with three ancestors and Li Canghai standing alone. Even the Mingyuan Sect has three ancestors who have transformed into gods. Not to mention the Tianyuan Dao Sect, which has six great god-transforming masters.

The only problem may be the use of poisonous insects to assist in cultivation.

And now, Li Tianshi, the most powerful Gu maker in Southern Xinjiang, has directly put this issue on the table.

So does he have a solution?

Under the expectation of everyone, Master Li Tian talked freely.

"The Gu worm is an auxiliary tool for us to cultivate and reach the Great Dao. But can the true Great Dao be comprehended by relying on tools?"

"After years of refining, raising and using Gu, I gradually discovered that even Gu worms are products of the creation of the Great Dao of Nature."

"Seeing it only as a tool is to ignore the truth."

"So, in my opinion, only by truly understanding the nature of your own Gu worm and cultivating it with your own life and soul, can you get close to the Great Dao and comprehend the true meaning of the legendary law."

"As for how to understand fusion and even how to achieve dual cultivation without distinction, I have some experience that I would like to share with you for your reference."

……

In a side hall.

Luo Chen waited quietly.

When half a stick of incense had burned, two footsteps were heard outside the hall.

He stood up and bowed to Marquis Zi Yi and Li Tianshi who pushed the door open.

"Qitian, meet Master Li Tian!"

The kind-looking Li Tianshi smiled slightly and said teasingly: "My name is Li Tian, ​​but you are Qi Tian, ​​isn't that going in the opposite direction?"

Luo Chen quickly said, "It's just a taboo, why is there a taboo?"

"Ha ha!"

Master Li Tian laughed loudly, then his expression became serious.

"I heard from Purple-Robed Marquis that it was you who asked to buy my "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique"?" (End of this chapter)
