Longevity begins with alchemy master

Along the way, Luo Chen made countless enemies.

But as his strength increased, most of his enemies were killed by him, and the few who survived were simply those he had not encountered.

Among them are the two great demon kings Niu Gui and Bi Zheng!
At the beginning, they joined forces with Huang Man to deal with Luo Chen, and once forced him into danger. He was even invited back to Cangwu Mountain by Qingshuang and forced to hand over the recipe of Hedao Dan.

Luo Chen will always remember this grudge.

I didn’t expect that fate would play such a trick on them. Now they are under the management of Luo Chen?
"I wonder how they would react if they learned the news?"

Luo Chen chuckled, his eyes flashing dangerously.

But in a moment, Luo Chen became confused again.

It would be fine if they were just arrogant and arrogant, but these two monsters used to be under the command of the ancient demon Emperor Tian. With the death of Emperor Tian, ​​it is not surprising that they surrendered to Cangwu Mountain.

But Bi Zheng?
"Why do I remember that he was close to Ao Kuang, the co-leader of the Wolf Clan, but he also joined the Cangwu Mountain? Is it because his original body has some blood of the ancient vicious bird Bifang that he submits to the Feather Clan Holy Land?"

Luo Chen shook his head, too lazy to think about the changes in the internal forces of the demon clan.

His eyes quickly swept across the light curtain, and he memorized the names of some Nascent Soul demon cultivators, some familiar and some unfamiliar.

The Thunder Prison God Peng, He Qingzi, the Egret King, the Blood Eagle Taoist… the Night Star Pupil, the Hanshan Que, the White-browed Immortal Ape.

All in all, there are a total of twenty-five Nascent Soul demon cultivators!

A few of the familiar names were those who lived in Cangwu Mountain. Luo Chen had heard of the rest more or less during the human-demon war in the East Wilderness that lasted for nearly two hundred years.

They are the masters of one side and each has his own territory.

In the past, they were actually under the command of the ancient demon emperor Tian, ​​but with the death of Emperor Tian, ​​they all took refuge in the sacred land of Cangwu Mountain, just like the great demon kings Niu Gui and Jian Kuang.

However, Qixia Yuanjun probably looked down on these vassals, as can be seen from the fact that she dealt with the holy land alone twice.

Nowadays, all these Nascent Soul demon cultivators who used to shout for war and killing are under the control of Luo Chen!

Suddenly, I felt a bit absurd.

"Even I find this ridiculous. If they knew about it, who knows how much controversy it would cause."

Luo Chen suppressed the idea of ​​summoning these demon cultivators to announce their existence, and also put the list of demon cultivators deep into the storage ring.

The position of the Lord of Duzhen Palace was given to him by Qixia Yuanjun, and he had no choice but to accept it.

However, Luo Chen would not dare to display the power of the Lord of Duzhen Palace in front of others unless it was absolutely necessary.

Whether it is the demon clan or the human clan of Eastern Wilderness, he is in an extremely awkward position.

By the same token, his current prestige was not enough for the human race in the Eastern Wilderness to sign the [Armistice Treaty] on their behalf.

"Keep them all as chips for emergencies!"

Luo Chen sighed and put the scroll away carefully.

Finally, Luo Chen's attention fell on the glazed fire fan bestowed by Qixia Yuanjun.

"Blood Jade Three Flame Fan, pseudo spiritual treasure grade."

Muttering the name and stroking the warm glass fan handle, Luo Chen carefully exerted his magic power.

There was a brief resistance when the two merged, but the magic power was easily injected in in an instant.

Youquan did not lie to him.

During the refining process of this fan, a trace of the essence of fire was indeed incorporated.

Is it from Qixia Yuanjun?
Luo Chen stroked the fire fan with his eyelids drooped, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

a few days later.

Three figures walked out of the Duzhen Palace, stepped onto an ordinary magic flying boat, circled slightly, and then flew westward, disappearing into the sky in an instant.

Cangwu Mountain, on the peak where the Dayu Palace is located.

Two pairs of eyes looked at the flying boat's disappearing shadow, and the atmosphere was slightly depressing.

Finally, Youquan couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Qingshuang, are you really going to let him leave so easily?"

Qingshuang looked cold and said in a clear voice, "I can't keep him."

Youquan frowned, "But you and he will live and die together. If you let him venture out, what will happen if he unfortunately dies? In my opinion, it is better to force him to stay in Cangwu Mountain to help him break through the spirit transformation, and then remove the life and death Gu. In this way, you will have nothing to worry about."

Qingshuang shook her head but did not explain the reason in detail.

It would be impossible for Luo Chen to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm if he stayed in Cangwu Mountain.

"Humph!"

Youquan snorted coldly, changed the subject and looked upwards at the towering palace hanging high in the sky.

"How is Lady Yuanjun's health?"

There was a hint of concern in his words.

Qing Shuang's expression darkened for a moment, then she cheered up and said, "Don't worry, with my sister's amazing ability, no one in the Mountain and Sea Realm can threaten her."

Is it true that no one can threaten Qixia Yuanjun?
Be it the soul-sealing formation of the Beihai Yuanmo Sect's Soul Refining Ancestor, or the heavenly calamity brought about by the Mingyuan Sect's Tianyuan Ancestor's sacrifice of everything before his death, all of them brought huge trouble to Qixia Yuanjun.

Especially in the battle with Tianyuan Dao Sect, gods from the upper realm descended like rain, and the Five Elders of Tianyuan awakened an ancient wild beast in the Lianxu period, almost causing Qixia Yuanjun to die in the Yellow Spring Sea.

After a series of fierce battles, Yuanjun's current condition might not be as good as imagined.

Youquan was extremely worried and couldn't even hide the expression on his face.

Qingshuang took a deep breath, "It's up to me now!"

Youquan was startled, vaguely realizing something, but still couldn't help asking:

"what are you up to?"

"This world is too oppressive for my sister. If she wants to be free from obstacles, she has to ascend to the upper realm. But my sister is not a native god, so she cannot lead the spirit to ascend. Therefore... I must become a god!"

"But, you have been practicing for too short a time, and your state of mind is not good enough, so how can you condense your soul?"

Qingshuang pursed her lips at this.

"It doesn't matter. As long as I refine the Jikong Flower, everything will fall into place."

Is it really possible?
Youquan was half-believing and half-doubting.

But seeing Qingshuang's determined expression, she didn't know how to persuade her any more. Perhaps Yuanjun had passed on some secret technique to her before he went into seclusion.

She just looked into the distance again.

For some reason, she was more optimistic about Luo Chen than Qingshuang.

That kid’s cultivation progress is really too fast!

……

High in the sky, a stream of light was flying slowly from east to west.

A figure stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the ambiguous scenery below with sharp eyes.

These sceneries were once familiar to Luo Chen.

However, under the influence of one war after another, rivers changed their courses, mountains collapsed and rose again, and with the passage of time, it gradually became unfamiliar.

This is what is called the great changes in the world.

Thinking of the information sent by Youquan and the miserable situation in Zhongzhou described above, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The destructive power of high-level cultivators on this world is simply too great!
The collapse of a city or a place is just normal.

When the battle becomes fierce, it is not surprising that a large area is broken.

Especially the great power who has reached the state of incarnation, who, without any control, can cause the continents to sink and the sky to crack. That is truly terrifying.

If wars of that magnitude occur a few more times, I am afraid that even if this world is rich in spiritual energy and has abundant spiritual power, it will not be able to withstand such waste and violence, and will eventually become unsuitable for cultivation!
Of course, sighing and lamenting are just sudden thoughts.

At least for now, it has no impact on Luo Chen.

His eyes fell on a piece of land and his mind moved.

"Wait for me for a moment. I will go down to meet an old friend."

"Palace Master, please do as you please!"

Two voices were heard from the boat, and then the flying boat stopped in mid-air. Two pairs of eyes with complex meanings watched Luo Chen land below.

……

Acacia domain!
The area where the Hehuan Sect, one of the six sects in the Far East, was located.

In the early years, it was badly destroyed due to the invasion of the Demon King.

But as two hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, even the biggest wounds gradually healed. Especially with the arrival of the Nine Spirit Sect, a Nascent Soul Sect, under the guidance and care of the Nine Spirit Sect monks, this area gradually regained some vitality.

Although it is not as prosperous as when the Hehuan Sect was stationed here, it does have a sense of vitality and is waiting to be rebuilt.

The main peak of the Hehuan Sect that had once collapsed was re-erected by the great efforts of Jiuling Yuanjun, who pulled the earth veins and dredged the spiritual energy. It has become one of the symbols of the Jiuling Sect today, and has been replaced by a new name, Jiuyuan Peak.

Jiuyuan Peak, which is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, seems a little different today.

Amid the ups and downs of the clouds, a figure slowly walked in.

When they were halfway there, a low, muffled shout was heard from the mountain.

"Who?"

Luo Chen, dressed in gorgeous feathered clothes, smiled slightly and released his aura.

"My friend, isn't it welcome to see an old friend return?"

In a cave inside the peak, Jiuling Yuanjun suddenly opened his eyes, a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

"Luo Chen?"

Luo Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "It's me!"

As he finished speaking, the sea of ​​clouds in front of him slowly drifted away, making way for a wide road as if by some spiritual being.

Luo Chen walked forward calmly, and soon he saw a figure standing in the wind on the top of the mountain, looking at him from afar.

It was the Jiuling Yuanjun who had not been seen for many years!
After climbing up the mountain, Luo Chen bowed and said, "Daoyou Jiuling, long time no see."

Jiuling Yuanjun had a look of amazement in his eyes and slowly said, "I thought you were dead."

Luo Chen laughed, "How can I be so short-lived?"

Jiuling Yuanjun shook his head. "That's right. You survived the siege by the three demon kings. There are very few people in the world who can rival you. But I heard that you fought a life-and-death battle with the demon king Qingshuang, and both of you disappeared in the Yellow Spring Sea. I thought you had died."

Having said that, Jiuling Yuanjun still couldn't stop looking Luo Chen up and down.

The three demon kings were strong, but they were not united. Besides, he was there to hold back the bull ghost, so the three demon kings could not work together to deal with Luo Chen.

But the Demon King Qingshuang is the real top powerful person in the Eastern Wilderness, known as the number one person under the God Transformation Realm.

Luo Chen fought with his opponent at the risk of his life and actually survived.

and……

Jiuling Yuanjun shook off the thoughts in his mind, the person in front of him was the living Luo Chen after all.

He extended his hand and invited, "Please come in!"

Luo Chen smiled as he followed the other party into the cave. The sea of ​​clouds behind him gradually dissipated, and no one knew that Luo Chen had come to Jiuyuan Peak.

……

When old friends meet, they can't help but reminisce about the past.

Talking about the past is one thing, and commenting on the present is the other.

"After you destroyed the Five Elements Divine Sect and left, the war between humans and demons broke out again. But compared to the previous one, this time the tragedy was much less severe."

"Although it's low, the losses of our major sects in the Eastern Wasteland are actually not small. Because the Tianyuan Dao Sect is almost using us as cannon fodder, and the demon tribe has strong people of Qingshuang's level. Almost no one can match her, so we are defeated step by step."

"Until news of the dramatic changes in Zhongzhou came!"

"At that time, the great Chun Yuan who was guarding the East Wasteland took action personally without hesitation, captured Qing Shuang alive, and forced the demon army to retreat."

"The war has been suspended and we have a chance to catch our breath."

"After that, all the Tianyuan Dao Sect cultivators stationed in the East Wasteland returned to Zhongzhou, and only a few Yuanying Zhenren stayed. They borrowed the power of the Dongyang Sect to control the East Wasteland from afar, and ordered us to hand over a lot of resources every year."

When talking about the losses suffered during the war between humans and demons, Jiuling Yuanjun was filled with grief.

When talking about paying resources and tribute to Dao Zong, he was even more angry.

Luo Chen asked curiously, "Since everyone has left, are you still willing to pay tribute?"

Jiuling Yuanjun said bitterly: "Who would be willing to do that? Everyone wants to recuperate and use all resources to restore the strength of the sect. But, that is the Tianyuan Dao Sect!"

Luo Chen frowned, "Since you know about the dramatic changes in Zhongzhou, don't you know that the Tianyuan Dao Sect is now divided into five, no, four? Moreover, there is only one Divine Transformation Master left. They can barely take care of themselves, so how can they have the energy to control the Eastern Wasteland?"

When Jiuling Yuanjun suddenly heard this information, he was stunned.

The Dao Sect that once dominated the Mountain and Sea Realm was divided into four?
Of the five Tianyuan elders who were once famous throughout the world, only one is left?
Seeing his reaction, Luo Chen knew that the cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness did not have very detailed information about Zhongzhou.

That’s right, my information comes from the Cangwu Mountain Holy Land.

As the enemy of Tianyuan Dao Sect, no one knows the specific changes in Zhongzhou better than Cangwu Mountain.

And with no leader, how could the major forces in the Eastern Wilderness cross the sea and promptly learn about changes on the other side in just a few years?

Luo Chen shook his head and sighed, "If it was the Tianyuan Dao Sect at its peak, there would be no need for you to take the initiative to pay tribute. They would have taken control of the Eastern Wasteland like before, instead of just using the hands of the running dog Dongyang Sect."

Looking back at the changes over the past few years, Jiuling Yuanjun found that this seemed to be true.

The Dongyang Sect is nothing but a fox taking advantage of the power of another.

The few Taoist masters who stayed in the Eastern Wilderness also seemed to be quite powerful on the outside but weak on the inside.

For a moment, Jiuling Yuanjun's face became gloomy.

Luo Chen did not disturb him from thinking, and just drank the fine wine collected by the Jiuling Sect.

He hadn't enjoyed these good things for some years. The Dieyun Sect's spiritual wine that he had treasured in the past was completely consumed during his trip to southern Xinjiang and his training on the Cliff of Broken Souls.

Such a taste is extremely refreshing.

After a while, Jiuling Yuanjun finally recovered.

"Thank you for letting me know the news."

Luo Chen smiled and asked, "So what are you going to do next?"

Jiuling Yuanjun curled his lips, "It's not important what I do, what's important is what other Taoist friends in Donghuang do, after all, it's still Tianyuan Dao Sect!"

Luo Chen shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's up to you! This time, in addition to reminiscing about the past, I also have something to ask of you."

"Oh?" Jiuling Yuanjun was extremely surprised, "As a great Dan Sect, you actually have something to ask of me?"

Luo Chen was helpless. He was not omnipotent and naturally had his shortcomings.

After straightening his face, Luo Chen stated his request.

"I would like to borrow your sect's heirloom weapon."

"Nine Heavens Urn?"

"Correct!"

"for you!"

Jiuling Yuanjun waved his hand, and a large black jar appeared on the side, hitting the ground with a clang.

This treasure was the one he relied on when he fought against Taoist Peng Xiang of Bai Lu Cave.

Luo Chen was a little surprised. The other party was so straightforward that he lent it to him without even asking what it was for.

He hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to explain, "I have a skill that requires a large amount of Sky Energy, as you know. But collecting Sky Energy from the market is too slow. I heard that your sect's inherited artifact is the best at collecting Nine Heavens Sky Energy, so I took the liberty to borrow it from you. I'm afraid it will take a long time, not just one or two years."

Jiuling Yuanjun laughed, "Luo Chen, you are too polite. Just because you came to Yaowang Territory to save me without hesitation and even got yourself into trouble when the three demon kings besieged you, what's the harm in lending you a dead object!"

Luo Chen was speechless, "In that case, I'll take it."

Jiuling Yuanjun nodded, took out a jade slip and immersed his spiritual consciousness into it.

While recording with his spiritual consciousness, he said: "There are some tricks to using this treasure. It's troublesome, so I'll record a copy of the treasure control method for you first!"

Luo Chen was grateful, "Then thank you for your help."

Jiuling Yuanjun suddenly paused.

"It's not a big deal, but I do have a request."

"Oh?" Luo Chen was curious.

Immediately, he saw the magical power fluctuations from the Jiuling Yuanjun opposite him rolling out like waves, and a huge momentum slowly pressed over.

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, "I haven't seen you for many years. I am glad to see your progress. Congratulations on finally breaking through to the realm of a great cultivator!"

Jiuling Yuanjun's sleeves moved without wind, and his face showed a look of eagerness to try.

"Since I achieved the state of a great cultivator, I have never fought with anyone. Daoist friend, you can fight against the Demon King Qingshuang, you must be the best in this world. I wonder how far behind you and I are?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and spread out his hands.

"I promise you!" (End of this chapter)
