Longevity begins with alchemy master

"I heard from Marquis Zi Yi that it was you who asked to buy my "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique"?"

Luo Chen answered without hesitation:
"That's right. Qi is best at body training, but I will not miss any related techniques. I just don't know how much your technique is priced at, Master Tianshi."

In response, Master Li Tian waved his hand.

"The price is not important. You should take a look at it first before talking about the price."

As he spoke, he nodded to the Purple-Robed Marquis beside him.

The other party flipped his hand and a jade slip appeared in front of him.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, took it, injected his spiritual sense directly into it, and swept it through.

"The Body Refining Technique of Hundred Poisons" is exactly the high-level body refining technique that the Lord of Minglei Cave mentioned earlier.

However, unlike the previous time when the other party wanted to meet but was unable to, Luo Chen had the opportunity to read a brief read when he made the request for the first time.

From this we can see that the difference in their cultivation strength was also treated differently.

Luo Chen was delighted.

However, after browsing a small amount of the content that was not restricted, his heart gradually sank.

"This technique is really a bit..."

He didn't know where to start, and while hesitating, he saw Master Li Tian's smiling eyes.

With a thought, Luo Chen clenched the jade slip tightly.

"I want it!"

Li Tianshi was stunned, and even the Purple-Robed Marquis next to him was shocked.

Purple-Robed Marquis advised: "This body refining technique is not an easy one. It requires taking the King Gu into the body and refining hundreds of poisons. It corrodes the flesh, blood, tendons and bones day and night. The pain is self-evident. But our generation can achieve the Nascent Soul stage, so we can more or less endure the pain. The real danger is that at your current level of body refining, if the poison wants to work on your body, it must be a highly potent and strange poison. If you are not careful, you will be doomed..."

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to persuade me anymore!" Luo Chen waved his hand. "Although Qi has made great achievements in body refining, the deeper he practices, the more obstacles he encounters. Therefore, he needs relevant skills to learn from and break through the bottleneck. Since he already has such a wonderful skill, how can he retreat when he sees the difficulty?"

Marquis Zi Yi opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh with appreciation and stopped trying to dissuade him.

He had also read the entire "Body Refining Technique of a Hundred Poisons" and knew how powerful it would be when it was fully developed.

The saying "immune to all poisons, and not touched by water or fire" is an understatement.

If there were not so many taboos and if practicing was not too difficult, he would have chosen to practice this technique as well.

Now that the other party is eager to try, if you continue to dissuade him, you will become a bad person.

Luo Chen turned his attention to the real owner of this technique, "Master Li, please make an offer! Anything that I can afford can be traded."

Li Tianshi smiled and asked back: "In your opinion, how valuable is this skill?"

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

He recalled the small chapter he had read earlier and said hesitantly, "This technique is actually not that sophisticated. It is just to transport toxins to temper the flesh, blood, tendons and bones. The truly valuable thing is the accompanying Hundred Poison King Gu."

"Yes!"

Master Li Tian smiled and nodded.

"This technique is my own creation, and it is not that profound. Because I created this technique to match the Hundred Poison King Gu that I refined at the beginning. Rather than saying that you are buying the technique from me, it is better to say that you are buying the Hundred Poison King Gu. And this Gu worm is my masterpiece, its value..."

Master Li Tian looked Luo Chen up and down until he made Luo Chen feel uncomfortable, and then he suddenly made an offer.

"If you are willing to help me once, I will give you this Gu and its accompanying skills for free."

"Ok?"

Luo Chen looked puzzled.

Li Tianshi's status in Southern Border is so high that it is comparable to Luo Chen's level in Eastern Wilderness.

With just a call, countless strong people would be willing to work for him.

Just like when Luo Chen started a war of development in the name of Dan Zong in the world of immortal cultivation in the East Wilderness, many large and small forces and Nascent Soul powerhouses responded.

He actually needs my help?
Moreover, Master Tianshi himself is already a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, so his own strength is already quite impressive. Why would he need the help of a "stranger" like himself?
I’m afraid that this “free of charge” is the greatest contribution!
Luo Chen said coldly: "Please tell me frankly, what is the matter that requires Qi's intervention?"

Li Tianshi did not shy away and spoke frankly about the whole story.

Ever since he embarked on the path of becoming a Gu Maker, his dream has been to refine a divine Gu that transcends the ordinary!

Fifth level divine Gu!

However, it is well known that in the history of Southern Xinjiang, there have only been three fifth-level divine Gu, and the fourth fifth-level divine Gu has never appeared.

Even the three fifth-rank divine Gu had already become incomplete as time passed.

The life and death together Gu was destroyed, and many low-level Gu worms such as Lingxi, Moxin, and Shiqi evolved.

The robbery Gu disappeared, and it was rumored that it attached itself to a top-notch strong man and left southern Xinjiang.

Only the lucky Gu is still preserved in the Gate of Life and Death.

After carefully studying various poisonous insects and collecting many clues, Master Li Tian gradually discovered a secret realm left over from ancient times.

There is a high possibility that the original recipe of the life and death Gu is preserved inside!

But that secret realm is extremely dangerous, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be walking on thin ice in it.

To be on the safe side, Master Li Tian plans to organize some people to go and investigate.

As for the composition of the personnel who explore the secret realm, he must ensure that there are no omissions.

Talents from all walks of life have been recruited.

The only thing he lacks is in the aspect of physical training.

Originally, I was counting on Purple Robe Marquis, but...

Marquis Zi Yi smiled casually, "Although I think my body refining attainments are not bad, I still don't trust Master Li Tian a little, so I took out the "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique" to try to lure out some hidden body refining masters in the Southern Border Immortal Cultivation World."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Then Qi is the big fish that was caught?"

Marquis Zi Yi looked at Master Li Tianshi, who was not shy about speaking.

"He was able to suppress the demon Buddha Ning Yuzhuo with his body-refining skills, and caused one death and one injury to the two Yuanying Zhenren of Zhaoying Sect. I'm afraid that there is no contemporary body-refining practitioner in Southern Xinjiang who can surpass his level of attainment."

"The source of Tianshi's information is really impressive!"

Luo Chen gave a half-hearted compliment and then fell silent.

He always stayed away from exploring secret places.

If it wasn't for the purpose of forming a baby, he wouldn't even go to the Land of Fallen Demons.

Now that the other party had invited him to explore some ancient secret realm together, how could he not be cautious?

Li Tianshi and Zi Yi Hou looked at each other, a little surprised.

It is said that this tyrannical cultivator Qi Tian has a bold and aggressive style of doing things, but at the moment he was acting a little cautious.

"That's right. If we weren't careful, we wouldn't have gotten to this point."

Li Tianshi thought secretly in his heart, and then tempted him with benefits.

"Then the practice of the Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique not only requires the Hundred Poison King Gu as the core, but also requires various powerful poisons as consumables."

"Although you have Fenglei Gorge as your support, most of the cultivators there are insignificant and independent, so it is difficult for them to collect poison resources for you."

"If you are willing to help, I can use the power of Xiongyue Zombie Alliance to buy a large amount of corresponding poisons for you. I can even find some rare poisons for you."

This is indeed not empty talk.

Just now, with just a quick glance, Luo Chen saw the various poisons recommended by the jade slip.

The grades of these poisons vary from high to low, ranging from entry-level first-level poisons to fourth-level poisons, with hundreds of them listed.

Maybe the price is not that expensive, but it would be difficult for him to collect all of them by himself.

Luo Chen asked in a low voice: "Master Li, can you mobilize the manpower and material resources of the Xiongyue Zombie Alliance?"

Li Tianshi smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Qi, don't underestimate my influence in the Zombie Alliance!"

"In that case..." Luo Chen made up his mind and said loudly, "Qi also wants to join the Xiongyue Zombie Alliance. I would like to ask you to introduce me to one or two people."

"It's a small thing."

"In addition, I would like to use the intelligence channel of the Zombie Alliance to investigate a powerful hidden person who has disappeared in the southern border for many years."

"No problem. Tell me your name. With the complicated structure of the forces within the Zombie Alliance, we can always find some clues for you."

"Devil Heart Gu Emperor!"

The moment these four words appeared, Luo Chen stared at the two people in front of him.

Li Tianshi's face darkened and he looked a little angry, while Zi Yi Hou's expression changed slightly and he looked quite disgusted.

Luo Chen asked tentatively, "Do you two know anything about the Demon Heart Gu Emperor?" The Purple-Robed Marquis snorted coldly, "He's the kind of person who gets something for nothing."

The anger on Master Li Tianshi's face gradually faded, leaving only a sigh.

"It's such a waste to use such a good Demon Heart Gu as a tool to plunder one's cultivation. Since you want to find this person, I don't mind asking a few more questions for you. But you have to be prepared. This person's whereabouts are extremely secretive and he hasn't shown up for many years. I'm afraid that nothing will come of it!"

"Just agree." Luo Chen did not force it. He had only been in the Southern Border cultivation world for a short time and there was no need to rush.

Li Tianshi nodded, "What about what I said?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Qi has agreed. You only need to let me know and we can set off at any time."

"Don't worry, don't worry. We still have enough time to prepare before the Xiongyue Zombie Alliance attacks the Gate of Life and Death." Li Tianshi breathed a sigh of relief, then waved his hand and cast several spells. The many restrictions on the jade slip in Luo Chen's hand were instantly unlocked, and now he could read the full text. "The corresponding Hundred Poison King Gu, I will have someone send it to you as soon as possible, and some basic poisons can also be given free of charge."

Luo Chen was a little surprised this time.

"I haven't done anything yet, but I've been paid?"

Master Li Tian laughed loudly, showing his confidence.

"In this southern border, no one can take advantage of me for nothing, so why not give you a reward first?"

Luo Chen thought for a moment and said, "Thank you very much!"

This scene was exactly the same as when he was refining medicine for Ling Fengzi.

I'm not afraid at all that the other party will get the pill and run away.

As for the result, didn’t Ling Fengzi finally become a disciple of Luo Tian Sect?
"Marquis Zi Yi, I still have some trivial matters to attend to, so I'd like to trouble you to entertain Fellow Daoist Qi on my behalf."

"Master, please go and do your work. I am enough for you, Fellow Daoist Qi."

After Li Tianshi left in a hurry, Marquis Ziyi blinked at Luo Chen, looking eager to try.

Luo Chen was helpless, "There is no rush for the exchange. Qi wants to watch the ten-day exchange meeting again."

"Haha, that's right." Marquis Ziyi laughed heartily and brought Luo Chen back to the hall again.

……

This exchange meeting, which involved most of the Yuanying Zhenren in southern Xinjiang, seemed quite turbulent from the beginning to the end.

The strong preaching is just a formality.

Except for the very beginning when Li Tianshi took out some real stuff, the rest was basically the same old stuff.

This is also normal. We are not close friends, so how can we be willing to share our useful cultivation experiences with others for free?
The focus of the exchange meeting is on two points.

Exchange resources and join the Xiongyue Zombie Alliance!
Especially the latter. In the next few days, ten more Nascent Soul cultivators joined the Xiongyue Zombie Alliance one after another.

Only Luojiao's Left Emissary Bei Puti, Fenglei Gorge's Minglei Cave Master and others were hesitant and did not express their opinions.

Late that night.

Luo Chen was counting the resources he had traded during the day in the fourth-level cave that Xiongyue Zombie Alliance had arranged for him.

"Gold-eating vines, immortal-corrupting miasma, dark dew..."

Bottles and jars were placed in front of him, all covered with seals and restrictions, which made him look daunting.

They all contain highly poisonous substances!

For example, the Corrupting Immortal Miasma is a highly poisonous miasma extracted from the Misty Wilderness. If it spreads a little bit, any cultivator below the Golden Core stage will die if they come into contact with it.

Another example is the Dew, which is said to be extracted from the deep earth veins, from the dirty land with suffocating spiritual energy. Just one drop of it will cause the Jindan cultivator's mana to stagnate, and he will become a livestock on the chopping board, to be slaughtered at will.

These are relatively rare items, and even though they are not of high quality, they are rarely seen on the market.

If Luo Chen hadn't taken out a large number of medicinal herbs collected from Dan Sheng Fudi and Five Elements Divine Sect, it would have been difficult to trade for them.

But even so, Luo Chen did not start practicing "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique" directly.

Because this body-building technique progresses step by step from low to high.

He still lacked some of the most basic poisons as consumables for cultivation.

It's funny to say that at his level, the circles he comes into contact with are too high-end, and it is difficult for him to quickly collect the most basic resources.

"It seems that we can only rely on Master Li Tian."

After an inventory, Luo Chen sorted these things into categories according to their grade and toxicity.

There was a noise outside the cave.

Luo Chen's mind moved, and he released the cave formation.

The master of Minglei Cave walked in.

After looking around for a while, he exclaimed in admiration: "Others who want to join Xiongyue Zombie Alliance have to pass the assessment of Songyang Alliance Leader. Brother Qi, your treatment is different. Not only can you enter directly, but you are also arranged such a good cave."

"Is it good?" Luo Chen asked casually.

"At least it's better than my Fenglei Gorge." said the Lord of Minglei Cave.

Luo Chen said indifferently: "As far as the current cultivation environment in Southern Xinjiang is concerned, the better the cave, the greater the harm to us, right?"

The master of Minglei Cave was stunned, as if this was the truth.

He waved his hand and got down to business.

"I will leave Mijie Mountain soon."

Luo Chen asked curiously, "Tomorrow is the last day of the exchange meeting. From what Li Tianshi said, there will be important people appearing. Why don't you take a look?"

"No matter how important it is, what does it have to do with me?" The Thunder Cave Master asked back, and then whispered: "It's better to leave early, so as not to be troubled by Ning Yuzhuo."

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

"Then I wish you a safe journey!"

The master of Minglei Cave smiled slightly, thinking that the trip was worthwhile.

Not only did he get to know more top experts in Southern Xinjiang, but he also exchanged a lot of useful resources.

After returning, he will reorganize Fenglei Gorge and establish his own power, and he can be regarded as the leader of a region in the future.

But before leaving, he still gave Luo Chen some advice.

"Be careful of the old man who buried him!"

"Hmm?" Luo Chen looked puzzled.

The Lord of Minglei Cave transmitted the message: "This person's whereabouts are secretive and his style is cruel. It is very likely that he is the Demon Heart Gu Emperor you are looking for. It would be fine if you don't contact him, but if you do, be extremely careful."

Luo Chen pursed his lips slightly, and the information about the Zangsheng Old Man emerged in his mind one by one.

The other party came from the Burial Valley and called himself the master of the valley.

But unlike normal forces, the Burial Valley does not have many disciples.

If he is really the Demon Heart Gu Emperor, his behavior is indeed somewhat consistent with the rumors.

"This is all I can find out. There may be mistakes in it. Brother Qi, you should read it dialectically and don't just listen to me. That's all I have to say. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Lord Minglei of the Minglei Cave no longer lingered and left Mijie Mountain.

In the darkness of the night, Luo Chen watched the other person's leaving back, muttering the name of the Old Man Zangsheng in his heart.

"Is he the person I'm looking for?"

Day two.

In the main hall at the top of Mijie Mountain, Luo Chen met the old man Zangsheng who had not been seen for a long time.

Four great monks sat together at the top, ready for battle.

When Luo Chen entered the hall, Taoist Master Songyang glanced at him with an expression neither sad nor happy.

Master Li Tian smiled and indicated that everything was self-explanatory.

As for the old man who was buried, he had an ordinary appearance and there was nothing special about him.

Facing Luo Chen's gaze, he simply glanced back without making any statement.

Luo Chen sat down next to Marquis Zi Yi, feeling quite curious.

Even the Lord of Minglei Cave could link the Demon Heart Gu Emperor to Old Man Zangsheng, so why didn't Marquis Ziyi and Master Li Tian tell him about this possibility?

Besides, with all this going on today, who are we welcoming?

The important person revealed in Master Li Tian’s previous words?
Right now!

At the gate, a majestic and powerful aura rushed in without any concealment.

"Tianyuan Dao Sect's Zhan Bingtao has come to pay respect to the mountain!" (End of this chapter)
