Longevity begins with alchemy master
Chapter 984: Have you ever seen me in my prime?
call……
A strong wind blew, the sky was cloudless, and yellow sand rolled in for thousands of miles.
Seven figures appeared in Luo Chen's eyes.
There were five bald monks in robes, one of whom was Master Ci Hai who had stopped them before.
The other two were dressed in gorgeous Taoist robes. One was Zhou Mingxuan, and although the other's name was unknown, the faint fluctuations of magical power from his body showed that he was obviously not a weakling either.
They blocked the path of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
They say things like "God is merciful and kind" and "Amitabha", but what they actually do is killing people.
Luo Chen was helpless, "My fellow Taoists, we just happened to pass by the Western Desert. Isn't it a bit too much to pursue us so relentlessly?"
Ci Hai glared at him and shouted, "Who doesn't know what the evil woman Qing Shuang has done? If such a vicious bird had stayed in the small piece of land in Baiwan Mountain, it would have been fine. But now she has come to the Western Desert. Who knows if she has ulterior motives?"
Luo Chen frowned, "But she really didn't do anything. Even in the last conflict, she didn't kill anyone of you."
"Not doing it now does not mean not doing it in the future. We must nip it in the bud to prevent bloodshed in the Buddha's land."
"This master, isn't this a bit unreasonable? You are accusing me of something like this..."
Before Luo Chen could finish his words, another big monk with white eyebrows and beard interrupted him.
"Daoist Luo Chen, everyone in the world has heard that you are a kind and benevolent gentleman. Why are you traveling with such a big monster? I heard that you once slaughtered hundreds of Zhou family members with a sword formation at the border, and now you are trying so hard to protect the Qingshuang Monster King. Could it be that you have fallen into the devil's way?"
Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a dangerous smell.
"Dare you ask the master's name?"
The big monk with white eyebrows and beard bowed with one hand, "Amitabha, I am from Puji Temple in Mount Wutai, my Buddhist name is Ci'en."
"Ci'en?"
Luo Chen recited the word and glanced at the others.
"So, the other three masters also came from Mount Wutai?"
The three men seemed a little uncomfortable facing Luo Chen's gaze, but they did not show any fear due to their numerical advantage.
"Ci Ping from Lingying Temple of Mount Wutai, greetings to Daoist Brother Luo!"
"Ci Guang of Fo Guang Temple in Mount Wutai, greetings to Brother Luo!"
"Cishu from Shengshu Temple in Mount Wutai, greetings to Daoist Fellow Luo!"
The five mountains, five temples and five monks are not easy to deal with.
Luo Chen pursed his lips and looked at the other two people, especially the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.
"Where is this fellow Taoist?"
The middle-aged man closed the feather fan in his hand and said elegantly: "Wu Changge from the Wu family of Wenzhou!"
As for Zhou Mingxuan, there is no need to introduce him.
Looking at this scene, Luo Chen's heart sank.
I don't know, maybe he was just afraid.
But what Luo Chen was thinking in his heart was, the first time there were two Nascent Souls, and the second time there were seven, so if things got out of hand, what would happen next?
What kind of existence will be involved?
"Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, I hope you won't make the mistake of getting too deeply involved with this evil woman. The sea of suffering is boundless, it's time to turn back!" The white-bearded monk Ci'en advised.
"I……"
Luo Chen was about to speak, but Qingshuang beside him became impatient.
"Stop talking so much nonsense. We still have to fight after all. Get out of the way!"
A strong wind blew from the side, and Luo Chen subconsciously moved aside, and Qingshuang rushed out like an arrow.
The five big monks did not underestimate him. They immediately displayed their Buddhist magic weapons and rushed forward together.
Luo Chen frowned and took a step forward, but Wu Changge was already standing in front of him.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, we respect your name as the Eastern Wasteland Dan Sect. Even if we have some suspicions, we are willing to give you a chance. So you'd better not interfere in this battle."
The Western Desert is dominated by Buddhist forces, but that doesn't mean it's full of monks and nuns.
There will still be sects and families that inherit this kind of power.
But in order to gain a foothold in the Western Desert, these large sects and families are more or less close to Buddhism.
This is true for the Zhou family and the Wu family as well.
Luo Chen had some knowledge of the situation in the Western Desert before, so he was not surprised that they were traveling together as Buddhists and Taoists.
But at this moment...
Luo Chen pulled the corner of his mouth, "Wu Changge, do you think you can stop me by yourself?"
Wu Changge's expression froze, and he said cautiously, "If you were in your prime, I might have less than a 30% chance of winning. But the battle in the Sand Valley was so commotion--I think you must have been seriously injured, even if you didn't die. Of course, even with a seriously injured body, I'm not completely sure of defeating you, but if we can keep fighting for a while, I think it shouldn't be a problem."
He spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, but with full confidence.
It was only because the fluctuations of Luo Chen's external magical power were that of the sixth level of Nascent Soul.
Wu Changge himself is also in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
No matter how glorious and proud Luo Chen's achievements are spread by the outside world, in the final analysis, everything is based on the realm itself.
He has this confidence!
Luo Chen said nothing, but just squinted his eyes and looked at the increasingly fierce battle in front of him.
The five monks of Mount Wutai are indeed not weak.
The three monks who introduced themselves later had solid foundations, comparable to those in the early Nascent Soul stage.
Master Ci Hai, with whom he had fought before, was at the same level as a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. In particular, the purple gold Sumeru Bowl in his hand suppressed the space and faintly restrained Qing Shuang.
Finally, there is the leader, Master Ci'en.
His white beard and white eyebrows show his kindness.
But when he was about to attack, his monk's robe fluttered, his muscles became muscular, and the sounds of wind and thunder were endless.
This monk is apparently following the path of Vajra Body Training!
He was even more powerful than the angry Vajra that Luo Chen had seen in Zhongzhou that year. His mighty Qi was strong enough to withstand Qingshuang's head-on attack.
In addition, with the five of them forming a formation and waiting, Qingshuang was unable to defeat them in a short period of time. Instead, he was in danger and became increasingly stretched.
Unable to take it down for a long time, Qingshuang already seemed a little impatient.
If they were not seriously injured, if they were not restricted by the Jikonghua, how could they be his opponents under normal circumstances?
clang!
After raising his hand to block an attack from the crescent-shaped Zen stick, Qingshuang's face turned cold.
The world in his sleeves is useless, his magic of escaping into the air is restricted, and even his most proud strong body is restricted by Ci'en and the Five Directions Sea of Bitterness Formation.
But do you really think you can win her over with just these?
Qingshuang ignored the Sumeru bowl covering his head and started to make seals with his hands.
When the familiar seal and hand gesture appeared, Luo Chen's eyelids twitched.
He took a step forward.
Wu Changge focused all his attention on him. Seeing this step, he couldn't help but whispered, "Fellow Daoist Luo, don't make the mistake!"
Luo Chen glanced at him and said calmly, "You said that when our sect was at its peak, you had a 30% chance of winning. Have you ever seen me at my peak?"
Wu Changge was stunned when he met those eyes.
It is like seeing flowers in a mirror or the moon falling into water.
In a trance, Luo Chen had already passed him.
In the big formation.
A dark crack suddenly appeared and flew upwards.
The purple-gold Sumeru bowl that was originally suppressing everything suddenly split into two halves the moment it touched the pitch-black crack.
Qingshuang saw the opportunity and soared into the sky.
At this moment, a fist as bright as gold smashed down on his head, and the word "卍" could be vaguely seen emerging.
Suddenly!
"Snapped!"
One hand grasped the huge fist, and the golden light of the swastika continued to hit its owner along the arm, but the man still did not retreat.
Ci'en's hair and beard fluttered, and he mobilized the energy in his body to continuously wash away those who blocked his way.
His eyes widened as he scolded, "Luo Chen, are you really so obsessed?"
Wow!
His robes rustled as a red light shone from Luo Chen's body, continuously pushing back the golden light of the swastika.
He said calmly: "Master, you are obsessed!"
Then he raised one hand high and brought it down heavily.
"Roar!"
Above the nine heavens, a flaming dragon roared and rushed down.
Ci'en was the first to be hit and quickly retreated.
Luo Chen took advantage of this opportunity to grab Qingshuang. With his eyes flashing, he had already spotted the flaw in the formation and immediately flew out.
The moment they broke away, a huge roar suddenly sounded.
boom!
The Five-Directions Sea of Bitterness Formation, which had caused Qingshuang to groan in pain and slow down her movement, was instantly shattered.
Five figures rushed out angrily and chased after Luo Chen and the others.
Facing their relentless pursuit, Luo Chen sighed, clasped his hands together, and a spell took shape in an instant.
Qingshuang next to him had already recovered and was also making hand seals.
next moment!
Boo!
A unique sound of birdsong echoed everywhere.
The red light spreads across the prairie, and the green light fills the sky.
Luo Chen looked at the two spells released together with a bit of astonishment.
A fire phoenix, and his most proficient technique of fire phoenix setting the prairie on fire.
A blue phoenix, released by Qingshuang.
At this moment, the two seemed to have reached the same frequency and rhythm, intertwined together tacitly, crossed the space, and rushed towards five... no, including Wu Changge, a total of six people.
Amid the harmonious singing of the lovebirds, Master Ci Hai's body exploded.
Ci'en was not much better off. His flawless golden body at the Vajra realm actually shrank for a moment.
The other three were not affected by the first wave of attacks, but were also blown back hundreds of feet.
Wu Changge was luckier, as he wiped out the last bit of power with a wave of his feather fan.
When the smoke and dust cleared, he looked at the empty space ahead with a look of fear on his face.
"Danzong Luo Chen is so terrifying!"
……
"I didn't expect you could cast spells?"
"Nonsense, I am on the path of pure Qi training, otherwise how can I understand the true meaning of the law of space?"
"Then why didn't I see you using magic to fight the enemy before?"
"Magic spells are too slow, and you have to form seals, which is more troublesome than fists and feet. Moreover, the Qingluan Exterminating Sky Technique consumes a lot of mana, so it is not necessary at ordinary times."
Through the questions and answers, Luo Chen learned the name of the spell that Qingshuang had just cast.
Qingluan destroys the sky!
Although it is not a magical power, it is extremely powerful and has a wide range of impact, comparable to his great perfection of the Fire Phoenix that Sets the Prairie Ablaze.
And the strange thing was that, at that moment, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding and cast magic together.
The cooperation between the Fire Phoenix and the Blue Luan is like the harmony of a phoenix and a crane; when their combined moves are released, their power is no less than that of magical powers!
With just one move, Ci'en severely damaged the physical body of Vajra, destroyed Ci Hai's physical body, and also seriously injured the rest of the people.
Moreover, this was done when both of them were seriously injured and had insufficient magic power.
If they were in their peak state and used their fullest magic to perform this move, its power would be so great...
"Is that your innate magic?" Luo Chen asked.
Qingshuang did not answer. Her already fair skin looked a little pale after fighting in several battles.
She just stared at Luo Chen and asked in a low voice: "Why did you save me?"
Luo Chen replied naturally: "I have your restrictions on me, what if you drag me down with you before you die?"
Qingshuang shook her head. "With your ability to see through my Void Escape Technique, those restrictions cannot take your life."
Luo Chen smiled casually, "But the Life and Death Together Gu won't care about these things!"
Hearing the name "Life and Death Together Gu", Qingshuang fell silent.
In the Xiansha Valley Cave, the two not only placed restrictions on each other and made vows to each other, but also planted the fourth-level life and death poison.
In this way, the two of them really shared weal and woe and became grasshoppers on the same rope.
So, he was forced to take action because he had no other choice?
Seeing that she was silent, Luo Chen stopped trying to find a topic and instead thought of another thing.
How did Ci'en, Ci'hai and others find them so accurately?
The answer came to me instantly after I actually set foot on the oasis Buddha land.
The demonic aura emanating from Qingshuang was truly overwhelming.
The evil spirit and hostility on Luo Chen's body, as well as the bloody aura left over from the battles in Southern Xinjiang, the battle at the Cliff of Broken Souls, and the killing of a hundred thousand monsters with one sword, were all too strong.
And above the Buddhist land of the Western Desert, there is the fragrance of Zen and the scent of Buddha.
The two of them walking in the air were just like the stars and the moon in the night sky, so out of place and so dazzling.
The solution to this problem is very simple.
Luo Chen used the Dragon-Slaying Technique repeatedly to completely remove the bloody aura from his body.
Then he used the Wanzhen Gu to set up a formation to conceal the aura, completely covering up the demonic aura on Qingshuang.
If that's the case, that's it.
Luo Chen still felt unsafe, so he took Qingshuang into a Buddhist temple, intercepted two strands of Buddhist energy from the young monk, and planted them on himself and Qingshuang.
"It should be foolproof!"
"What a waste of effort!" Qingshuang said, but Luo Chen still did it.
Luo Chen shrugged, "You are not afraid, but I really don't want to fight anymore. If I continue like this, I will damage my foundation. How can I break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm in the future?"
Qing Shuang asked back, "Without a soul, no matter how strong your foundation is and how powerful your background is, how can you condense your primordial spirit and enter the realm of transformation?"
This time, it was Luo Chen's turn to be silent.
Inside the Buddhist temple.
The golden bodies of gods and Buddhas in the niches are brilliant, and the Zen chanting in the ancient temples is solemn.
There were many believers gathered around, with incense burning brightly. Luo Chen stood among them silently, troubled by his worries.
Looking at his expression, Qingshuang knew that her unintentional question had touched upon a question that Luo Chen had never and dared not to delve into.
She sighed and said quietly, "From what happened on the Soul-Breaking Cliff that day, Tian Yuan Lord Mo Shouzhuo did not carry your soul with him. Therefore, your soul is most likely hidden in Zhongzhou Dao Sect. The fact that you can't sense it now is good news. There will always be a chance to take it back in the future."
Luo Chen pursed his lips, his cheeks sunken.
"Let's go!"
Luo Chen turned around, turned his back to the golden Buddha, and left the temple.
Qingshuang didn't say much and followed immediately.
……
The rest of the journey was not so bumpy.
Perhaps they wanted to wipe out the remaining demon troops in the Buddhist land, or perhaps it was because Luo Chen's hiding method was too sophisticated. In short, the Western Desert Buddhist strongmen did not find Luo Chen and his team. They arrived at their destination safely and peacefully half a year later.
Buddha Mother Temple!
Although she is the mother of Buddha, this ancient temple dedicated to the Peacock King does not have many worshippers.
There were only a few monks who did the cleaning and ringing of bells.
A man and a woman walked in quietly.
At this time, Luo Chen had recovered from the depressed state half a year ago, and was even interested in discussing with Qingshuang the application of space restrictions on the teleportation array.
"It's not difficult. The difficult part is the materials. For example, your life-saving magic weapon, the Hunyuan Ding, is made of good materials, so it was able to bear my space restriction."
"If that's the case, then the teleportation array bases set up by Qixia Yuanjun in various parts of the Mountain and Sea Realm consumed a lot of precious materials!"
"You also know how precious it is. You cut off a corner of the one in the North Sea, right? It took me a lot of effort to repair that teleportation array."
"Haha."
Luo Chen laughed, ignored Qingshuang's rolling eyes, and released his spiritual sense.
A trace of green frost fixed the star plate and covered the ground.
"No need to check, it's right under the golden statue of Mingwang in the Buddha Mother Temple."
Having said that, she was about to step in.
However, the steps taken were suspended in the air and did not fall for a long time.
Qingshuang looked at Luo Chen in confusion as he stretched out his hand to stop her.
Luo Chen shook his head vigilantly and slowly stepped back.
Behind the golden and mottled statue of the Peacock King, an ordinary little monk walked out.
When he saw the two of them, instead of panicking, he bowed to them.
"Amitabha, I am Xuan Du, a humble monk, nice to meet you two donors."
When the name Xuan Du came out, Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.
Just as mentioned before, in the five continents of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the names of the top Nascent Soul cultivators often spread far and wide.
Except for the more mysterious southern Xinjiang, there are no other masters with great reputation.
Similar things exist in other continents.
The Crazy Wanderer among the three great wanderers in Beihai, the chess master Ke Lianshan in Zhongzhou, the Dan Sect Luo Chen and Tianduzi in Donghuang and so on.
And in the Western Desert, there is only one most famous monk!
"Xuan Du?"
Luo Chen pursed his lips and told the other party's origins.
"Could it be the master of the Glazed Pure Land, the one who claims to be one person, one temple - Master Xuandu?" (End of this chapter)
