Longevity begins with alchemy master

In the quiet cave.

Luo Chen stood in front of the desk, carefully studying the King of Poisons sealed in amber.

Because of the Lingxi Gu incident that year, Luo Chen was very cautious about Gu insects, fearing that he would encounter a tampered Gu insect again.

Just like refining the Qi Strength Gu and Faith Gu before, he was extremely cautious before choosing to refine them.

Compared to low-level poisonous insects such as the Strength Gu and the Faith Gu, the King of Poisons Gu is of a slightly higher grade, at the third grade, so it is very troublesome to check.

Fortunately, as Luo Chen's realm became more and more profound, he began to understand a truth more and more.

Refining the Tao is inseparable!
Whether it is refining elixirs, refining weapons, or refining poisons, there are actually some common principles.

It is not so easy to keep a backup plan for elixirs, magic weapons, or even poisonous insects.

You need to have sufficient understanding of the corresponding things and know how to restrain them so that you can have some backup plans.

At least, after checking it now, he found that the King of Poisons was pure and there was no hidden danger.

"That's right. It's just a third-level Gu worm. There's no need for a top Gu master in Southern Border to resort to such dirty tricks."

Luo Chen laughed at himself for being too cautious, then shook his head.

The other party actually used a third-level poison and the corresponding skills to make this famous "tyrant cultivator" take action once. He really made a lot of money!
Of course, Luo Chen was not too angry.

It is true that the Hundred Poison King Gu is only at the third level, but it is also true that it has great potential in the future.

Once this Gu is contaminated with various poisons, its grade will increase rapidly, and reaching the fourth grade is the ideal state.

Even according to Master Li Tianshi's fantasy, if the host can withstand it and there is enough powerful poison to support it, this Hundred Poison King Gu may be promoted to the fifth level one day.

It can also be seen from here that this is also an experimental route used by Master Li Tian to refine the fifth-level divine Gu.

It is not directly refined, but is cultivated through the cultivator's acquired efforts, and is developed step by step.

The reason why Li Tianshi later gave up the Hundred Poison King Gu is very simple.

There are very few people in this world who can meet those two conditions!
"Can I bear it?"

Luo Chen asked himself, then smiled knowingly.

If he can't bear it, how many people in this world are qualified?
Qing Shuang? Wang Yuan?
None of them would choose this kind of "evil path". Even if the King Gu and the skills were placed in front of them, they would probably just look down on them.

Only when I encounter a bottleneck in my body training would I choose to give it a try.

"Let me see what you are good for!"

As his mind moved, Luo Chen felt a slight tingling sensation at his fingertips.

A drop of blood essence emitting a powerful aura was squeezed out by him.

As they swayed, they heard a sound——

Tick ​​tock!

The essence and blood fell into the amber, and the amber that sealed the King of Poisons suddenly melted like snow.

Stimulated by this, the King of Poisons gradually began to wake up.

Before it could make any move, Luo Chen's essence and blood had already touched its body.

"hiss……"

There is a silent scream echoing in my heart.

In the sight, the white and tender Wang Gu began to roll violently, with blood flashing on its body and struggling continuously.

When the blood color gradually disappeared, Luo Chen knew that the first stage of the refining work was successful.

Then...

Luo Chen did not hesitate and drew a line with his fingers above his waist and abdomen.

A hideous wound appeared, and he grabbed the Hundred Poison King Gu and stuffed it directly in.

The hideous wound began to heal quickly under the powerful self-healing ability.

And in the perception, the white and tender poisonous insect, once entering the body, went straight to the internal organs and stomach.

"Fortunately, I have consumed a large amount of Five Temples Immortal Brew over the years, which has cultivated my five internal organs to a level of strength rarely seen in the world. Otherwise, I would not be able to provide a stable home for this Hundred Poison King Gu."

As he murmured, a light began to flow between the eyebrows of the little Nascent Soul figure in Luo Chen’s purple palace.

It was the Zhaoshen Gu that was refined earlier!

In order to prevent any changes that Luo Chen could not foresee, the Zhaoshen Gu had to be activated at all times to monitor the Hundred Poison King Gu.

So far, so good.

As soon as the King of Poisons Gu entered the stomach, the feeling of discomfort instantly disappeared after it encountered Luo Chen's terrifying gastric juice that seemed to be able to melt everything.

And a feeling of hunger was transmitted to Luo Chen's consciousness because of the connection between mind and body.

"Are you so impatient?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, then took out a black jar from his storage bag.

When the jar was opened, there was a small green snake swimming slowly with its tongue sticking out.

This is the Bilin Snake, a first-level demon beast that is extremely poisonous.

Any cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage who accidentally gets infected will suffer a cardiac arrest and die.

This is also one of the 100 most basic first-level poisons required to practice the "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique".

A hand was placed in front of the little green snake.

The Bilin snake bit without hesitation.

However, after one bite, not even a white mark was left on Luo Chen's hand.

Luo Chen shook his head, "It's too troublesome."

He pinched and clamped the venom gland of the green snake with his fingers, and it was taken out.

In an instant, the Bilin Snake became extremely weak.

Luo Chen, faced with the deadly poison that countless Qi Refining cultivators tried to avoid, just chuckled and swallowed it.

The poison goes down the esophagus and into the stomach.

The King of Poisons was attracted and kept sucking the food.

The white and tender body gradually turned dark.

However, the transformation process was very short and it soon turned back into white jade.

Seeing this, Luo Chen began to practice the "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique".

As the skills flowed, the Hundred Poison King Gu, which was connected to the mind and spirit, also had a corresponding reaction.

A misty fog emanated from it, gradually corroding Luo Chen's flesh and blood.

A tingling and itchy feeling arises spontaneously.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows. He was still feeling the pain and itchiness all over his body, but he remained as still as a mountain!
Gradually, under the erosion of the poison, Luo Chen's flesh and blood seemed to become a little weak.

However, the body's powerful self-healing ability restored it in an instant.

The feeling of pain and itchiness disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

After consulting the memory of the Zhaoshen Gu once again, Luo Chen gradually became thoughtful.

"I see!"

It is no wonder that this Hundred Poison King Gu has become the core of this high-level body-refining technique. Even the "Hundred Poisons Body-refining Technique" was created specifically for it.

Its essence is extraordinary!

It is a first-class poison, but its toxicity is extremely restrained and will not cause any effect on cultivators.

But after absorbing other poisons, the toxicity will fluctuate.

At this moment, activating the "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique" to stimulate the King Gu will cause the poisons it has swallowed to be stimulated exponentially, thereby being used to temper the host's own body.

The King of Poisons can be seen as a middleman or a converter.

If I really want to give an example...

Luo Chen thought about it and thought of a technological product from his previous life - the transformer. Just like the transformer that can change the voltage, the Hundred Poison King Gu can also increase or decrease the toxicity of the poison fed to it.

After feeding back to the host, it can play the role of tempering the body.

The tempering here is different from the tempering in the normal sense.

It was a slow erosion, a continuous dissolution.

If the host's body is not strong enough, it will be hurt by this erosion and dissolution.

Only if the body is strong enough can it gradually become stronger in the process of constant erosion, melting, and recovery!

“No wonder Master Li Tian doesn’t think highly of this high-level body-refining technique. Its principle is so simple. Even if I don’t have the “Hundred Poisons Body-Refining Technique”, as long as I have this King Gu, I can create a matching Thousand Poisons and Ten Thousand Poisons Body-Refining Technique myself.”

After some examination, Luo Chen understood a lot.

If you want to improve this skill quickly, there are three conditions.

The first factor to look at is the host's physical strength, the second is the degree to which the technique stimulates the Hundred Poison King Gu, and the third is the supply of external poisons.

“These are not difficult!”

I pursed my lips and felt hungry again.

Luo Chen smiled lightly and took out a large number of low-level poisons from his storage bag. He extracted their toxins and fed them to the Hundred Poison King Gu.

At the same time, the "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique" that he had already mastered was also operating naturally under the control of the main soul.

A large amount of poisonous mist began to spread all over Luo Chen's body, with the stomach as the center.

……

After joining the Xiongyue Zombie Alliance, Luo Chen's life of wandering around suddenly settled down.

Every day he either practices the "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique" in his cave, or wanders up and down the Mijie Mountain, ignoring the eyes of others, studying the ubiquitous natural space restrictions.

During this period, some of the supporting poison resources promised by Master Li Tian were also delivered one after another.

Of course, these resources are not free and require Luo Chen to purchase them at a certain price.

Fortunately, before Luo Chen left the Eastern Wilderness, he gained a lot in the Five Elements Divine Sect and also gained some benefits from the Zhaoying Sect, so the reward for these low-level poisons was more than enough.

Due to the large supply of low-level poisons, and Luo Chen's terrifying self-healing ability, his proficiency in the "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique" increased rapidly, almost every day.

It only takes a few months from entry to mastery.

From proficiency to grandmaster level is just around the corner.

After the Hundred Poison King Gu swallowed a large amount of poisons, its own grade was gradually changing.

The only thing that made Luo Chen a little dissatisfied was that although the bottleneck of his body refining method had been loosened and he was moving towards the late fourth stage, the degree of improvement was quite limited.

If ordinary people learn this method, under the stimulation of this horrible poison, their body-building attainments will surely advance by leaps and bounds.

But his physical body is so strong that he can compete with big monsters and be comparable to wild beasts. These physical improvements after continuous destruction and reconstruction are just icing on the cake.

He understood that the quality of the Hundred Poison King Gu was too low after all.

Only by raising it to the fourth level can Luo Chen benefit from it.

Obviously, first- and second-level poisons cannot improve the grade of the Hundred Poison King Gu.

Third-level poisons might be effective, but poisons of this level are already considered high-level resources and their quantities are relatively limited.

If you want to see immediate results, perhaps only those fourth-level poisons that can threaten Yuanying Zhenren can cause the Hundred Poison King Gu to undergo a qualitative change!
But there are very few poisons of this level in the world.

Luo Chen couldn't be impatient and could only persevere.

Adding icing on the cake is still an improvement after all. At least he has found the direction to move forward.

During this process, Luo Chen's understanding of the restrictions of natural space became more and more profound.

He even used the materials on hand to privately make some space treasures to verify his learning results.

In a misty mountain stream, Luo Chen looked at the storage bag in his hand.

This is the space treasure that he had refined himself. The materials are not expensive, but the method is exquisite.

“No wonder the price of storage bags remains high.”

"The expensive thing is never the raw materials, but the craftsmanship of refining storage bags!"

Luo Chen sighed, then suddenly took action!
A pinch!
Pong!
The storage bag in his hand, which contained scattered spiritual stones and worthless magical instruments, suddenly shattered.

Luo Chen opened his eyes wide and stared at the place where the storage bag was broken.

The storage bag is a space of its own, filled with restrictions. Once broken, it will be connected to the outside space.

Luo Chen had seen this situation many times in the past.

After all, in battle, there are always situations where the enemy's storage bag is accidentally destroyed.

At that time, I didn't pay attention to the specific situation, but occasionally found that there were always some missing items when checking the spoils after the war.

Now, looking closely, I find some strange situations.

In the process of internal space shattering and impacting external space, a large number of space restrictions were like ripples, constantly breaking and regenerating in the void.

Various items hidden in the inner space, some were cut into pieces by the terrifying space restrictions, some were luckily preserved, and some mysteriously disappeared into the void, and their whereabouts are unknown.

"Where did they go?"

Muttering, Luo Chen swept the surrounding empty mountain streams with his powerful spiritual sense, but found nothing.

In the storage bag just now, in addition to the worthless magic weapons, he also deliberately left some valuable things.

A green lamp!
It was obtained from the Zhaoying Sect, which was secretly looted for him by the Black King.

In terms of grade, there should be levels of magic weapons.

Luo Chen was too lazy to study its efficacy, but he left his own spiritual mark on it, specifically to test the results.

But at this moment, no matter how powerful Luo Chen's spiritual sense was, he could not find the "broken green lamp".

Frowning, Luo Chen shifted his focus to the changes in the previous spatial restrictions.

"The Yuanying's ability to shrink the earth into an inch and escape thousands of miles away is actually an instinctive use of spatial restrictions. It's just a natural act of obeying the changes in space."

"That Qingshuang went against common sense and crossed the void with his physical body, appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Obviously, this was a means of defying the changes in space..."

"Break it, reorganize it, and in the brief process of restoring the spatial restriction, find a gap and you can enter and exit freely."

"This world is like a large, airtight net. The Nascent Soul is like a small shrimp that can freely shuttle through the mesh. The reason why my Hunyuan Ding can suppress the Nascent Soul is because it has its own space and blocks many of the meshes. However, Qingshuang, the big fish, destroyed the nodes of the net and crossed it with his flesh body, thus achieving the level of being able to survive even if the net is broken."

"Is that right?"

Luo Chen looked dazed and muttered to himself.

No one gave him an answer, so he could only rely on further research to verify it himself.

From time to time, he felt pain and itchiness on his body, but Luo Chen suppressed it with his main soul so it would not affect his concentration.

After finishing today's research, Luo Chen returned to the cave with a heart full of doubts.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Marquis Zi Yi and others waiting outside the cave.

Luo Chen was startled for a moment, then he calmed down and took the initiative to greet him.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Purple-Robed Marquis waved his hand carelessly, "It's okay. You know that those of us who have been given the seal of the fierce mountain have a much lower efficiency in cultivation than before. Instead of doing such trivial and futile work, why not go out for a walk."

Luo Chen smiled. This was probably the pain of most Nascent Soul cultivators in Southern Xinjiang right now!
Although the spiritual energy of the outside world has increased, one dares not practice recklessly.

In order to remove this restriction, we must find the source and restore the free days we once had.

After laughing, he asked, "What's the important matter today?"

"Nothing important." Marquis Ziyi shook his head and took out a jade scroll. "Here, this is the information you want."

Luo Chen's face lit up with joy, "Is it from the Demon Heart Gu Emperor?"

"There is a part, but not all. There are also some changes in the current major events in the Mountain and Sea Realm that the Xiongyue Zombie Alliance has collected from various channels."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and took the jade slip.

The first time he opened it, his mind was focused.

"The fight has finally started in the East Desert!" (End of this chapter)
