Longevity begins with alchemy master

"Respectfully send off the ancestor to ascend to heaven!"

……

The sound of mountains and seas bidding farewell can still be vaguely heard, but it gradually dissipates with the lapping of waves under my feet.

Luo Chen looked at this unfamiliar sea area. There were no birds and it was full of fog. He felt vaguely familiar with it.

"Is this... Nanyang?" Luo Chen murmured hesitantly.

Suddenly!
"Um……"

With a muffled groan, Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.

It was not until this moment that the feeling of extreme weakness suddenly emerged.

His spiritual consciousness swept across his body, and he looked inward, and the poor condition of his body became clear instantly.

The Nascent Soul is weak and its magic power is depleted.

Severe pain was felt in all the limbs, internal organs, and even in the meridians and acupoints.

This is the injury caused by the previous battle in the Yin-Yang Ruins!
It's just that during the brief time he spent with Lord Youli, he was suppressed by the other party's great supernatural powers, so he didn't feel it.

Now that he had left the peak of the sea of ​​clouds and was no longer suppressed by others, he instantly began to attack Luo Chen.

The only good news was probably that the little remaining source power had been quietly increased a lot, so that Luo Chen still had some strength to protect himself.

Source power is different from mana. Mana is sought from the outside and then returned to oneself. However, source power is the physical strength extracted from the powerful flesh and blood. As long as the body is not destroyed, source power will be endless.

The word "source" in "source power" means the power comes from the origin of the physical body, and also means an endless supply.

Of course, there is no truly infinite power in the world.

The price of an endless supply is the constant exploitation of the flesh.

If the loss is excessive, the life span will be greatly reduced.

On the attribute panel, Luo Chen's lifespan of 1,500 years, which was originally the longest among his peers, was reduced because of the battle in Medicine King Domain and the battle in Yin Yang Ruins Realm.

After personally experiencing these two times, Luo Chen understood more and more why the art of body refining was gradually declining in the world of mountain and sea cultivation.

Every fierce battle will result in loss of lifespan. Who would be willing to practice this kind of method?
If I hadn't practiced Qi Refining at the same time and hadn't had the extra lifespan to supplement myself, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to withstand this kind of consumption.

After letting out a breath, Luo Chen also understood why Lord Youli sent him to the South China Sea.

At this moment, he was in a very depressed state.

If you were in the world of immortal cultivation in southern Xinjiang and encountered a powerful Nascent Soul master, accidents could happen.

Although the South China Sea waters are equally strange and dangerous, it is actually not that scary for Hunyuan Ding, his life-saving magic weapon that still retains the aura of a fifth-level divine Gu.

"That senior really thought it through!"

Luo Chen sighed with emotion.

Even though there are still many doubts in my heart, I admire what the other party has done.

Before ascending to heaven, he helped the Gate of Life and Death to defeat the invading enemy.

Now that Tianyuan has been defeated and Xiongyue Zombie Alliance has collapsed, the entire Southern Xinjiang cultivation world can be said to be severely damaged and empty.

Under such circumstances, the Life and Death Sect, whose strength has been preserved intact, can come out in full force and unify Southern Xinjiang!
What the Mingyuan Sect wanted to do but couldn't do before, Lord Youli accomplished almost half of it with just one attempt.

In particular, the hidden dangers of the Yin-Yang remnant world have been eliminated, and the Death Gate can return and merge with the Life Gate, so that the Life and Death Gate has a complete defensive barrier.

Even if the Southern Xinjiang cultivators counterattack the Gate of Life and Death in the future, they will be able to advance and retreat with confidence, and will not fall into the situation of being beaten into the mountain gate again.

"It's still a pity."

"Although the trip to Southern Xinjiang successfully achieved its goal, it came and went in a hurry, and there were too many people and scenes that I didn't get to appreciate."

With emotion, Luo Chen turned his attention to the sea area where a faint black mist was floating.

When he first entered the Nascent Soul stage, he accidentally entered this sea area and tried to use it to cross the Eastern Wilderness. Unfortunately, due to his lack of strength and cautious nature, he did not go deeper.

This time, we can give it a try.

But just in case, we still have to make some preparations.

Luo Chen's mind moved and his left shoulder shook.

The black light flickered, and the spirit pet reappeared.

Looking at the Black King lying in the water, languishing, Luo Chen asked calmly, "Can you still move?"

"I can't move!" Black King said weakly with his eyelids drooping, "I'm about to be completely torn apart by that big guy."

"Stop pretending. I need you to walk for me on this trip."

Having said this, Luo Chen actually felt quite sorry for the other person.

If it was an ordinary battle, the impact of the Black King being broken into pieces wouldn't be that big.

But the Netherworld Earth Dragon is, after all, a fifth-level wild beast, and it seems to belong to the earth element like the Black King.

The Black King would definitely not feel good after being severely injured by that thing.

With a flick of his wrist, rays of light suddenly came out of the storage ring, all of which were the healing pills treasured by Luo Chen.

Part of it was made by him personally, and part of it was deliberately collected before leaving.

At this moment, he didn't bother to identify them carefully and just stuffed them all into Black King's mouth.

The Black King closed his eyes and swallowed it all in one gulp.

Not only that, he also coughed a few times with pretending to be hard.

"Master, I'm a little choked!"

Luo Chen was helpless and understood what the other party was planning.

But considering the Black King's initiative to protect his master when he was in danger before, he was no longer stingy and the storage ring glowed again.

A wine jar appeared in front of him.

Faintly, there is a strong aroma of wine emerging.

The Black King opened his drooping eyelids, his eyes full of brilliance.

"This is the last jar of the thousand-year-old Five Temples Immortal Wine. I'll give it to you as a reward!"

"Thank you, Master. Thank you!"

The Black King simply raised his head, and a large amount of wine flowed out of the jar. He swallowed it in big gulps, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

This is indeed the last jar of the thousand-year-old Five Temples Immortal Wine.

Even though the Dieyun Sect had a large stock of this kind of spiritual wine, it couldn't withstand Luo Chen's consumption for thirty years!

There are only a few hundred jars in total, and there are only a few left.

Of course, the benefits brought to Luo Chen by drinking so much are unquestionable.

After making no progress in "The Confluence of Ten Thousand Paths", the reason why Luo Chen was still able to cultivate to the late fourth level of the ancient order was not just because of "The Body Refining Technique of a Hundred Poisons".

The accumulation of thirty years of Wumiao Xianjiu has created the miracle of great accumulation and development.

At this moment, the last jar of Five Temples Immortal Wine was given away. Luo Chen felt pain but he didn't feel too sad.

Firstly, the recipe of this wine has been roughly deduced by the monks of Luotian Sect, so it can be brewed in the future.

Secondly, he had the "Body Tempering Technique of a Hundred Poisons", so as long as the toxin training supplies could keep up, he would not lack the body tempering effect in this regard.

"I heard that Nanyang is the birthplace of the Nanjiang Gu worms. Over the past thousands of years, countless wonderful Gu worms have come from this sea area."

"You can be careful on the way. If you can pick up a few high-grade poisonous insects for free, they can also help you refine the Hundred Poison King insects."

Looking at the vast sea, Luo Chen seemed to be thinking about something, and then he sat cross-legged on the smooth scaly back of the Black King.

"Head northeast and try to return to the East Desert as soon as possible!"

After giving the order, Luo Chen took out a top-grade Hongyuan Pill and began to recover his magic power.

The Black King shouted, and immediately took Luo Chen through the black fog and swam towards the vast ocean.

……

A month later.

Above the vast ocean, a blue-green jinn bird was hovering in the sky, its sapphire-like eyes fixed on the slowly swimming black shadow below, like a patiently waiting hunter.

On the huge black shadow, a Taoist priest in a white robe was sitting cross-legged.

Since he had left Southern Xinjiang, Luo Chen simply restored his original appearance.

The Xuanchen Armor that he had been wearing was also put into the Purple Palace, and the Nascent Soul emitted magic power to continue to refine and nourish it.

After the battle with the Netherworld Dragon, the Xuanchen Armor was severely damaged. Before suitable materials can be used to repair it, it can only be slowly restored by relying on magic power.

However, the Pingshan crown is still worn on his head.

This magic weapon not only looks great, but also has outstanding protective capabilities. After all, it is used daily by the ancient demon Pingshan Jun Ditian.

The reason why he did not show his prowess in the previous battle was that Luo Chen was not familiar enough with it.

If you get familiar with it, its defensive power should be higher than the Xuanchen Armor. At this moment, Luo Chen had just finished his meditation and was concentrating on looking at the treasure in his hand.

That is a beating heart!

Away from the heart of the Heavenly Master!

Even though it has been away from its owner for many days, the heart is still rosy in color and keeps beating in a cycle of five breaths.

And when it beats, it emits a large amount of qi and blood, filling the blood vessels in the heart.

It's so weird, it's really surprising.

Luo Chen even compared it with his own heart and came to the conclusion that it was no less effective than his own heart.

"Fortunately, there was a sudden attack at that time and Master Li Tian's heart was dug out. Otherwise, with his help, Master Li Tian's strength would be three points higher under the suppression of Fengbo Pavilion." Luo Chen muttered, with praise in his words.

But this praise was not for Master Li Tian's attainments in body refining, but for the evil heart Gu in his heart that had fallen into a deep sleep on its own!

After Luo Chen personally erased the mark of spiritual consciousness on the Demon Heart Gu, this strange insect fell into a deep sleep.

But the powerful qi and blood that naturally flow out in a sleeping state is still amazing.

It is hard to imagine what level this poisonous insect has reached after being nurtured by the Heavenly Master for hundreds of years.

I'm afraid it's only one step away from the fifth level.

“Perhaps the reason why Li Tianshi longed for the Life and Death Together Gu and didn’t even care that it was only at the fourth level was because of this Demon Heart Gu!”

"They are originally from the same origin. If I refine this Demon Heart Gu into the fourth-level Life and Death Gu, will there be a chance for it to break through to the fifth level?"

Luo Chen didn't know the answer. After all, he didn't have much attainment in refining poison.

But with Master Li Tian's means, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve that.

"Never mind. It doesn't need to be of a high grade. As long as it can remove the restrictions on Lingxi, it will be fine."

Luo Chen cast a series of prohibitions to temporarily seal the heart.

Then we started counting the other spoils!

Yes, although the trip to the Yin-Yang Ruins ended inexplicably hasty, he did gain a lot of things.

Not to mention the source blood of the golden dragon lion, just some of the "junk" that Lord Youli fished out were of great use to him.

A long sword that is sparkling and clear, like crystal.

This is the real weapon left behind by Meng Shentong, and its name is Duankong Blade.

When attacking, there is no form or shape, no stability or uncertainty.

It can change its shape at will, travel through space, and exert tremendous power.

The only drawback is that it probably needs to be used in conjunction with the Vacuum Gu to double its power.

A piece of tortoise shell with ancient patterns and countless prohibitions.

This is exactly what Granny Hongye desires.

When the opponent was affected by Luo Chen's withering and flourishing divine fire, most of the treasures disappeared along with the collapse of the storage magic weapon, and only this piece of tortoise shell was preserved.

Later, Lord Youli used his magical power to catch the moon in the world, and after a large amount of things were swallowed, he gave this thing to Luo Chen.

At this moment, with Luo Chen's knowledge, he couldn't tell for a moment whether this thing was a magic weapon or a poisonous insect.

It has the scent of poisonous insects and the means of formation, all carried on a piece of tortoise shell.

He only knew that this thing was like a living being. After the cultivator refined it, he could use the seven basic prohibitions of the formation to quickly set up most of the formations in the world.

Although it is of the grade of a genuine weapon, its practicality is probably no less than that of a spiritual treasure.

Luo Chen happily left his spiritual mark on the tortoise shell.

It will be much more convenient to set up the formation in the future.

When Luo Chen was counting the spoils, the Black King under him finally couldn't hold it back anymore.

"Master, that blue-eyed ghost bird has been following us for three days. Let's kill it!"

Luo Chen replied without even looking up: "There are many dangers in the South Sea. We should avoid taking action if we can, unless it takes the initiative to come and provoke us."

The Black King said depressedly, "But don't you need a treasure that contains a deadly poison? The Blue-Eyed Ghost Poison is a deadly poisonous monster. It appeared in the South Seas. Maybe it has a parasitic poison on it. Aren't you tempted?"

Luo Chen frowned and subconsciously looked at the big blue bird circling in the sky.

Just as the Black King said, this monster was indeed a highly poisonous monster, and was also a good consumable for him to practice the "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique".

But this is Nanyang...

"Forget it. I still have a lot of poisonous millet in stock, enough for me to practice for a while. It's better not to make things complicated."

The big blue bird seemed to sense something and detected the danger. It flapped its wings and flew forward, away from the two.

"He is quite perceptive."

Luo Chen smiled and looked away.

Then I estimated the time.

It has been a month since we entered Southeast Asia.

Because both he and the Black King were injured, they did not move forward too fast to avoid running into some powerful guys in the South Seas.

But now, except for the fact that the Xuanchen Armor lacked materials and could not be restored, other aspects were basically the same as their peak state.

It's much the same on Black King's side.

Then, we can go on our journey with all our strength.

The sooner he returns to Luotian Sect, the sooner his son Luo Lingxi can resume his cultivation.

We can speed up now!
Thinking of this, Luo Chen immediately issued an order.

The Black King cheered immediately and sped up.

The South Seas were not friendly to him. Whether in the black fog in the air or in the turbulent sea water, poisonous insects would appear from time to time.

Especially the deeper you go, the more poisonous insects there are.

Even though Luo Chen was constantly emitting the remaining aura of the evil poison from the Hunyuan Cauldron, he could not avoid some low-level poisonous insects without intelligence from bumping into them.

The Black King would love to leave early.

The huge body twisted, pushing away the waves and moving forward quickly.

Wherever it passed, there were huge waves, like a tsunami.

During this period, some powerful guys would be alarmed from time to time, but under the evil aura emitted by Luo Chen, none of them dared to approach.

This feeling of freedom and exhilaration made the Black King let out long dragon roars from time to time.

This day.

Luo Chen felt bored on the journey, so he took out the "Secret Records of the Mysterious Realm" given to him by Lord Youli and began to read.

He also wanted to learn more about the origins of the five sacred places in the Mountain and Sea Realm and what the scenery was like.

However, before he could read, the Black King's voice came again.

"Master, that blue-haired beast is haunting us and has reappeared."

Luo Chen frowned and looked up.

Sure enough, several miles away in the sky, the blue-eyed ghost bird was flapping its wings and circling.

"Evil beast, do you really want to die..."

As he spoke, Luo Chen's expression gradually changed.

That was not the waiting during hunting, but the cowering in fear!

"No! Back off quickly!"

The Black King was a little slow to react. He asked in confusion, "Why has the sea water turned yellow?"

Then, I felt a strong force coming suddenly from my back.

It was Luo Chen who grabbed the huge body out of thin air and threw it backwards.

The Black King was in mid-air, full of shock, and looked back.

"Owner?"

There was tremendous magical power rising into the sky, but it dissipated in an instant.

A golden flame spread out, but was hit by a wave of the turbid yellow sea water and completely extinguished.

As the waves rose and fell, bluish-white flames rose and fell, and gradually disappeared.

Looking at this scene, the Black King opened his mouth wide, and his whole body was completely filled with fear.

"Master!" (End of this chapter)
