Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 123 Chaos is growing, big handwriting (want to subscribe)

Wang Yuan finished the last sentence.

However, just four words shocked Luo Chen.

"In ancient times, since body refiners were as famous as Qi refiners, how could they not live forever?"

"I don't know the specific reason."

Wang Yuan sighed, "Perhaps the real body refining method has long since disappeared in the long river of history. Up to now, Qi refining and true cultivation have occupied the mainstream of the world of immortality. Even if there are some body refining practitioners, most of them are concurrent cultivation."

"Or, a body refiner who was extremely powerful for a while didn't have a method of longevity, otherwise how could he be annihilated in the long river of history."

Next, in Wang Yuan's explanation, Luo Chen finally knew why the current road of body training did not allow him to live forever.

Cultivators who focus on refining Qi will gradually strengthen their souls as they continue to break down.

In the end, the body is just a shell that carries the soul.

The body is perishable, but the soul is immortal, so it is natural to live forever for thousands of years.

But body training is a bit contrary.

Instead of refining the qi, he feeds himself back with a lot of aura, making his body stronger and stronger.

This path is actually very similar to that of a monster.

But the physique of the human race has inherent limitations, unlike some powerful monster races, who are born with a long lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years.

Therefore, even if a human body refiner cultivates his body to the point where it cannot be further strengthened, he will still be unable to escape the established lifespan limit.

Moreover, in the process of body training, all kinds of extreme methods have caused great damage to the original body.

There are not many longevity yuan, but it will become less and less.

When the time limit comes, the physique that is tyrannical to the peak may even collapse in an instant.

"Perhaps, a real body refiner has a way to increase his lifespan, but I haven't found any of the body refinement methods I have come into contact with so far."

Listening to Wang Yuan's words, Luo Chen couldn't help asking: "If that's the case, why don't you concentrate on refining Qi?"

"Because the progress is fast!"

Wang Yuan seemed to be very open about this matter, he said with a smile: "As long as the will is strong enough, you have the corresponding method, and the resources can keep up. The speed of cultivation of a body refiner is unimaginable."

indeed.

Wang Yuan's current practice speed has surpassed the cognition of ordinary people.

In a short period of time, he came into contact with the physical strength close to the foundation building level, and the speed was extremely fast.

For immortal cultivators like Luo Chen and the like, even with the correct skills and a lot of resources, cultivation is still a tedious effort.

"I'm in a hurry because time is tight."

"Besides, I'm not a pure body refiner, but I mainly focus on body refinement, supplemented by qi refinement. After all, my eighth level of qi refinement is here."

Luo Chen was thoughtful, and tentatively said: "You want to upgrade your physical strength to a level comparable to foundation-building combat power. Then, use this to seek to break through the realm of immortal cultivators, so as to obtain the longevity after breaking the realm. ?”

Wang Yuan nodded, "That's true. You and I have participated in the auction, so naturally we can see clearly the face of Da Zongmen. If there is no strength at or above Foundation Establishment, it is impossible to participate in the normal competition of Foundation Establishment Pill."

The auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill back then is still vivid in my memory.

There are five in total, but only one is offered for casual cultivators to bid.

Moreover, in general small auctions, there may not always be Jidan appearing.

There must be a large auction, but it happens once every ten years.

For a Qi Refining cultivator, how many decades can there be in a lifetime?

Luo Chen was very supportive of Wang Yuan's decision.

If I were myself, I would probably do the same thing if I had no choice.

After all, one bird in hand is worse than ten birds in the forest.

Of course, Luo Chen is not in such a predicament at present.

He still longs for the eternal life of immortals who travel to the North Sea at dusk and sit and watch the sun rise and the moon float.

The purpose of today's meeting is mainly the Burning Blood Pill.

Now that he already knew the general effect of Burning Blood Pill on monks, Luo Chen quickly adjusted his overall strategy for this first-order pill.

Advantages, strong explosiveness, can be used as a hole card method.

Disadvantages, high cost, obvious sequelae.

In this case, it is not suitable for large-scale refining, and it will be sold as a conventional elixir.

But no matter what, it took ten achievement points to get started with the first-tier elixir, so he was not reconciled to letting him give up like this.

Therefore, he planned to secretly refine some from time to time, and then find another channel to sell them.

Well, the channel he thought of was actually very simple.

Auction, black market!

In these two places, pills with unique effects can often be sold at sky-high prices.

This strategy cannot be said to be completely correct, and there must be many deficiencies in it.

However, Luo Chen still intends to do so.

The reason is simple, others do it too.

The Elf Pill of Medicine King Sect also belongs to the kind of medicine with unique effect and high cost.

Usually in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, there is no sale, and you can only meet them occasionally at auctions.

Luo Chen just learned from them.

When leaving the main altar, Luo Chen suddenly thought of Deacon Miao whom he had just met for a short time.

"If there is no accident, the backstage of the Poshan Gang, or the partner of cooperation, is this Jade Cauldron Sword Cultivator."

……

Back in the inner city, Luo Chen visited his two small shops as usual.

In Baishi Square, Luo Chen frowned seeing the less-than-usual flow of people.

"How do you feel, much less than before?"

Yuan Xiaoyue stood beside her, "In recent days, there are indeed fewer people."

"What happened?"

"It's nothing, even because of the arrival of the master Jindan, the battle rewards provided by the Taoist platform are even better."

More rewards?
Shouldn't there be more people competing and a better atmosphere?

Luo Chen couldn't figure this out.

It wasn't until the next morning that the bodyguard, Dongfang Liang, mentioned that someone had been killed in a nearby courtyard, that he realized what had happened.

"Where's the law enforcement team?"

"They sent someone over to take a look, and then they didn't have anything to say." Dongfang Liang said.

Luo Chen wondered: "Is the law enforcement team not doing anything?"

The inner city is not absolutely safe, this is something Luo Chen has known for a long time.

But with the opening of the Dao Discussion Platform and the establishment of the Jiange Law Enforcement Team, such incidents of murder and robbery in the inner city have become less and less.

Even if it happens occasionally, the murderer will be found out quickly and the punishment will be brought to justice.

Dongfang Liang didn't give a specific answer, he was just a Qi-refining seven-level casual cultivator who didn't get much attention.

Even in Luo Chen's bodyguard team, he was the weakest one.

What he usually does is either checking the sentry at the back, or running errands for Luo Chen, transporting goods to two small shops.

Regarding Luo Chen's questioning, he could only smile wryly: "I don't know what's going on, but the law enforcement team is not idle. It seems to be very busy recently, but it's just that they don't care much about law and order."

Very busy, but don't care about law and order?
Luo Chen was thoughtful.

When he got to Dantang, what he heard from other people was that the situation was even more serious than that in the inner city.

"Now the outer city is becoming more and more chaotic. In the evening, there are robbers haunting the alleys."

"You still dare to go out at night, I always close the doors and windows, and I dare not sleep to death."

"When there were few people in the past, how could it be so serious. If I say it, I have to blame the casual cultivators from other places. A group of outsiders have spoiled the atmosphere."

"It's not only bad manners, but also grabbing jobs. My brother was working at the pier, and he was fired two days ago, saying that he hired a cheaper casual repair."

"Actually, the Yuding Jiange brought about the atmosphere. But before the law enforcement team suppressed it, Jiexiu didn't dare to do it blatantly. But recently, the law enforcement team has long ignored the outer city. Naturally, there are endless incidents of killing people and seizing treasures."

"Hmph, if this continues, sooner or later someone will go to a safer place."

When eating at noon, after Luo Chen introduced this topic, he heard many complaints.

Most of the monks in Dantang are ordinary casual cultivators who are not good and do not like to fight.

They are extremely sensitive to the things that kill and seize treasures around them, because those things will affect their survival.

But because of financial resources, he had to live in the outer city.

In fact, the outer city at the beginning is only dangerous at night.

Later, with the opening of Lun Daotai, Jade Cauldron Jiange set up various favorable policies for casual cultivators, coupled with a safe practice environment, in just half a year, it attracted tens of thousands of casual cultivators from other places.

With more people, there will naturally be more things to do.

But there is a law enforcement team to suppress it, and some lawbreakers can only hold back.

But recently, the law enforcement team doesn't care.

The hidden dangers brought about by the population explosion have begun to emerge a little bit.

"The current Dahefang feels like a powder keg, and it was only a short shot from detonating it."

Luo Chen felt more and more anxious.

However, it is absolutely impossible to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining after breaking through the eighth level of Qi Refining in a short period of time.

"I must have enough strength to protect myself!"

"If you can't improve your realm quickly, then you should pay more attention to the means of fighting."

Luo Chen looked at the transparent attribute panel, his eyes fell on several spells, and fell into deep thought.

……

……

In the dense forest, the air waves are billowing, and murderous intent is everywhere.

The two figures kept fighting, and the golden and green colors criss-crossed. Wherever they passed, big trees that were hundreds of years old rumbled down.

One is as immovable as a mountain, and the shot is thunderous.

One is like a ghost, even if the opponent's spiritual vision is used to the extreme, it is difficult to catch the tail of the opponent's trace.

Suddenly, the ghostly figure leaped into the sky and paused.

Seven blue streamers scattered around and merged into one place, turning into a storm of blades, under the hood.

Qin Liangchen looked awe-inspiring, and the golden giant sword hovering above his head suddenly slashed upwards.

boom!
The blade storm collapsed instantly after only resisting two breaths.

But the trend of collapse does not mean that the momentum of the attack has collapsed.

The seven flying knives were sent flying, and under the control of the ghostly figure, they attacked Qin Liangchen from different angles.Not only that, but the figure is blurred, leaving behind shadows wherever it passes, and it is not known who is real and who is fake.

Seeing this scene, Qin Liangchen's eyelids jumped wildly.

"Don't fight, don't fight!"

"The manipulation method of this magic weapon is too outrageous. I have never seen in my life that I can use a middle-grade magic weapon as well as a high-grade magic weapon."

In the sky, the ghostly figure that was about to start moving suddenly stopped.

Several phantoms gradually dissipated, leaving only the farthest real body.

Luo Chen put away his serious expression and smiled.

"Then Brother Qin, you are merciful!"

Qin Liangchen curled his lips and flew out of the dense forest.

He swears that he really didn't show mercy before.

Even if there is no life-and-death struggle, the means of displaying it are still at a normal level.

After all, he also needs to be familiar with the high-grade flying sword he just got.

In fact, Luo Chen's manipulation of the magic weapon has reached an unimaginable level.

Qin Liangchen had never seen such a genius in his life.

Facing Qin Liangchen's strange gaze, Luo Chen smiled without saying a word.

After practicing hard for half a month, he finally raised his proficiency in the traction technique to the Dzogchen level.

It was also because of this that he dared to fight Qin Liangchen with the mid-grade Jade Sword.

The Dzogchen-level traction technique has no special effect, it just makes monks more comfortable controlling the magic weapon.

This kind of handiness may not be so obvious on a single magic weapon.

But such a complete set of magic tools like the jasper knife, the effect is extremely prominent.

It can be said that the Dzogchen-level traction technique is completely capable of producing a set of medium-grade magic tools, which is not inferior to the power of top-grade ones.

And in the past half month, his gains are not limited to this.

Yufeng Jue is about to complete.

The proficiency of Entanglement has also improved a lot, not far from Dzogchen.

He didn't let go of other techniques such as spiritual vision, healing, and cleansing.

The price he paid for this was that most of the high-grade chalcedony pills he usually embezzled were used to supplement the depletion of spiritual power.

"I said, why are you so keen on fighting recently, kid?"

Qin Liangchen said gloomily, this was the tenth time Luo Chen had fought against him in half a month.

"It's not what I thought! The current Dahefang is getting more and more chaotic. I must have some means of self-protection!"

Luo Chen sighed.

Without refuting his words, Qin Liangchen also sighed tacitly.

As an elder, he was actually the one with the most leisure time.

It's not like Wang Yuan and Luo Wudi are in charge of the hall alone, and it's not like Sikong Shoujia is busy with the alchemy hall.

He has been concentrating on meditation all along, and most of the family affairs are left to Murong Qinglian to take care of.

But recently, he has gradually become busy.

The three battle halls have often encountered troubles recently, and he must help out one or two.

"Xuan Yihui has gone too far. Before, it was just a pretense of going into the mountains to fight monsters and sharpen himself."

"But now, their manpower is expanding rapidly, and it seems that they also intend to get involved in the business in the mountains."

Luo Chen frowned, "What happened again?"

"No!" Qin Liangchen shook his head, "They are much more aggressive than the Dajiang Gang back then, after all, they have already made their own way before."

"There won't be a real fight in the future, will it?"

"This kind of thing is impossible to say."

Xuan Yihui was much more aggressive than the Dajiang Gang.

Behind them are five cultivating families. Among them, the foundation-building cultivators on the surface include the ancestors of the Duan family, Nan Gongjin of the Nangong family, and the ancestors of the Li family.

Although these three are only in the early stage of foundation establishment, they are not as good as Mi Shuhua in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

But there are so many people!

The other two cultivating families couldn't guarantee that they didn't have the foundation building methods left by their ancestors.

If there was a real fight, the Broshan Gang would be in danger.

For this kind of battle involving foundation establishment, neither Luo Chen nor Qin Liangchen was powerless.

All they can do is protect themselves as much as possible.

It really doesn't work, when the time comes, you either surrender or run away!

The world is so big that it can always accommodate these Qi refining period monks.

"By the way, Mi Shuhua is very concerned about the output of chalcedony pills recently. You drag me to fight every day, so don't make him angry."

"Fire?"

Luo Chen chuckled, Mi Shuhua naturally wouldn't get angry with him.

In the recent period of time, he has not relaxed about alchemy.

In other words, he revealed a little more of his alchemy attainments.

The alchemy rate is much higher than before, and the output of middle-grade chalcedony pills has increased by [-]% compared to before.

In this case, it's too late for Mi Shuhua to be happy.

The two returned to the Moon Valley, called Gu Caiyi and Murong Qinglian, and returned to the city together.

Zhou Yuanli and other bodyguards also followed far behind.

The more tense the atmosphere, the harder it is to do bodyguard work, and they have been working hard recently.

In private, Luo Chen also subsidized some middle-grade chalcedony pills for them.

As for whether this kind of thing will reach Mi Shuhua, he is not worried.

Corruption is such a small act that you will not be discovered if you do it occasionally.

But for such a long time, Mi Shuhua must know everything he should know.

The left and right are just some middle-grade chalcedony pills, which are beneficial to the early and middle stages of Qi refining. As long as it does not affect the overall situation, Mi Shuhua will not be entangled.

On the way back to the city, the four of them talked and laughed.

Suddenly, Luo Chen stopped.

Seeing this, the other three also stopped.

On the ground in front of them, two figures were chasing frantically, and from time to time they triggered the talisman magic weapon to bombard each other.

One of them was obviously lost, and after a few rounds of hard resistance, he flew towards Luo Chen and the others.

"Fellow Daoist, save me!"

"roll!"

Qin Liangchen let out a low growl, took a step forward, and stood in front of Luo Chen and the others.

The golden giant sword shot out horizontally!

Before the figure approached, it was photographed flying in another direction.

The enemy chasing behind was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the four people in front of him, three at the ninth level of qi refining, and one at the seventh level of qi refining, were not something he could offend at all.

"excuse me!"

Arching his hands, he hurriedly chased after his prey.

"Master, are you alright?"

Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang hurriedly chased after them, and asked with concern.

Luo Chen shook his head, looking down at the front with distant eyes.

The outer city of Dahefang, which covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles, has lost the peaceful atmosphere of the past and has become more restless.

Now the murders and treasures have happened before his eyes.

"The chaos is coming!"

Luo Chen felt emotional in his heart.

For the rest of the journey, the topics everyone talked about also fell on the current chaos in the outer city.

The arrival of Master Jindan not only did not bring people a sense of security, but also exacerbated the chaos.

It gives people a feeling that he took the initiative to provoke it.

Of course, it is very dangerous to make unreasonable comments on the Golden Core Master, and everyone just mentioned it in a simple and cryptic manner.

After returning to the courtyard, the more Luo Chen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"No matter what happens next, it can't affect my practice!"

And practice is inseparable from pills!

Early the next morning, Luo Chen hurried out the door.

Inside the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, Luo Chen saw an old acquaintance after a long absence.

"Senior Liu, long time no see."

The old man smiled slightly, "I still like it when you call me Shopkeeper Liu."

Liu Hecai, former shopkeeper of Baicao Hall, is now the shopkeeper of Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

He was also very happy to see Luo Chen.

"Unexpectedly, I still underestimated you before, but you actually have such superb alchemy attainments."

Luo Chen smiled awkwardly, "Shopkeeper Liu praised you."

"It's not flattery!" Liu Hecai said earnestly, "I have acquired the pills you refined later, whether it is the top-grade Zhongmiao Pill or the middle-grade Chalcedony Pill, they all have their own unique features. Especially the top-grade Zhongmiao Pill!"

Having said that, he paused.

"Do you still remember the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator I introduced you to?"

Luo Chen hesitated: "You mean Senior Kang?"

Kang Dongyue, the owner of the Jinshi Pavilion in Taishanfang, is also the ancestor of a cultivating immortal family.

"Yes, he asked me some time ago, and asked if you are interested in supplying a batch of high-grade Zhongmiao Pills for him to sell in the Golden Stone Pavilion?"

The elixir such as Zhongmiao Wan cannot be listed in the hall of elegance.

Although Liu Hecai admired it, the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion he was in charge of definitely looked down on this kind of pill.

But the family business like Jinshi Pavilion is very attractive.

If it was before, Luo Chen would be very happy.

But now, he can only shake his head and smile wryly: "The elixir refined by the junior can only be sold by the Poshan Gang, which has failed the kindness of that senior."

Hearing what he said, Liu Hecai didn't insist.

Although he is a member of the Yaowang Sect, this place is the Jade Cauldron Domain, under the jurisdiction of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

Thousands of miles to come here, he only has one fellow of Baicao Hall to rely on each other.

It is really unwise to offend a local monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

"Come here so early, what do you want to buy?"

Luo Chen took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Twenty bottles of Huachen Dan, ten boxes of tranquilizing incense!"

"Huh, what a big handwriting!"

Liu Hecai blurted out, and looked at Luo Chen with admiration.
