Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 454: Provocation in Fenghua Palace, Rotten Ke Ding’s Troubles

Chu Kui is preparing to form elixirs, and Luo Chen is not idle either.

After being promoted to the ninth level of foundation building, he took a few days of rest.

He had a drinking party with Wang Yuan, talked about formation knowledge with Min Longyu, gave Qu Lingjun advice on his practice after establishing the foundation, and set a date for his marriage to Mi Li.

One after another, they summoned Luo Tianhui's new foundation-building monks in the cave one after another.They might give kind words of encouragement, or give treasures as congratulations for building a foundation, and sometimes they would also share their cultivation experiences.

Finally, he lived with Hui Niang and Cai Yi for three days to test their practice results respectively.

After the three-day exchange, Luo Chen ended his short rest.

Enter the previous cleaning state.

……

"Tao Wan went into seclusion 12 years ago to enter the Golden Elixir Stage. Three years later, she succeeded. The bell of the Qingdan Valley rang three times to celebrate. Then the woman continued to retreat to consolidate her realm. The day of release was not far away. The Qingdan Valley has already begun. Send out invitations in advance to invite comrades from all walks of life to attend Tao Wan’s elixir knotting ceremony.”

"Danyangzi successfully formed the elixir before her. He has officially left the seclusion and held the elixir-forming ceremony."

"Bingbao Tantaihao completed the foundation construction period five years ago, announced the retreat, and sprinted towards the golden elixir stage."

"Luoyun Sect held a Jiazi competition and invited fifteen sects to watch the ceremony. Thirteen true disciples stood out and were known as the Thirteenth Son of Luoyun. Among these 13 people, except Han Zheng, who was the lowest in realm and the youngest, the rest were all cultivators. He is a nine-level monk with a profound foundation and is expected to form an elixir within 50 years."

"The Jade Cauldron Sword Sect does not hesitate to give in. Ten years from now, there will be a sword fight in the Jade Emperor Mountain. The candidates for the sword fight are not limited to the monks of the sect, nor are they limited to their level. Anyone who takes part in the competition and wins the ranking will receive generous rewards from the Sword Sect. .”

"Ailaoshan Daozi returned from Xiaoyue Mountains, and it is said that he drew an extremely detailed map of Xiaoyue."

"The representative of the Hehuan Sect, Master Yunhe, entered the Jade Cauldron Domain and was the first to visit the Baihua Palace. Baihua Fairy, Peach Blossom Ancestor, and Shixiang Master, the three golden elixir masters of Baihua Palace, traveled hundreds of miles away to welcome him."

Pieces of external information flowed through Luo Chen's mind.

There are people I know who have achieved success in elixir formation, or who have gone into seclusion in order to achieve breakthroughs.

There is the Luoyun Jiazi Competition, and there is also the Jade Emperor Sword Fighting where monks from all over the world are invited to fight, all of which are actions that show off muscles.

The arrival of high-level monks from the Outer Domain Yuanying Sect added another layer of fire to the boiling cauldron.

Everything shows the fervor before the war.

And in this case.

The realm of foundation building is no longer on the table.

"Danyang, Tao Wan, Tantai, Chu Kui... they are all ahead of me, it's time for me to speed up my pace."

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

A sense of urgency began to linger over his head even though he had been practicing meditation all year round.

If it was before, maybe the feeling was not that deep.

However, Master Canglong failed to advance to the Nascent Soul, and the four golden elixir monks were lost in the Ice Castle battle, and his subordinates, such as Tantai Xun and others, went into seclusion one after another.

This shows the tension of Ice Castle.

And Ice Castle is Luo Chen's biggest supporter at present.

With his backers looking crumbling, how could he sit back and relax?

However, no matter how anxious he was, Luo Chen's practice plan was orderly in chaos.

He has basically stopped refining alchemy for the time being.

The main focus is on daily practice and studying several secret pill-forming techniques.

He has never stopped studying those secret techniques since he obtained them in the middle stage of foundation building.

Now, it can be considered as familiar with it, but it is still difficult to practice it.

Among them, the ones that attracted Luo Chen the most were undoubtedly "Suozhu Curtain" and "Ding Fengbo" that Miao Wen handwritten for him before his death.

The former is the secret technique of forming elixirs of the Luoyun Sect of Yuanying Sect.

The latter is also a simplified version of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect's secret technique. Even if the effect is not as magical as "Hui Sword Technique", it can be seen from Miao Wen's regret after waking up and Pang Renxiong's grudge soul turning into ghost cultivation so smoothly. The effect of source secrets.

Regarding the secret technique of "Ding Feng Bo", Luo Chen often studied it after he came back, and finally confirmed that Miao Wen did not leave any behind-the-scenes tricks to harm him.

"Don't be in a hurry. "Bead Locking Curtain" can be slowed down for a while. You can wait for Chu Kui's elixir formation to decide how to practice."

"This "Ding Feng Bo" can be started directly."

The main reason why Luo Chen was so determined was that this secret technique was somewhat similar to "Mingshen Breaking Evil".

They all have the effect of tempering the will of the monks!
It's the will, not the soul!

There is an essential difference between the two.

The soul is strong but the will is weak, but it is just a weapon in the air that dare not wield it.

And for people with weak souls and weak spiritual power, if their will is strong enough, they can often go further than the same beings.

Here, it is roughly similar to the three elements of immortality that cultivators often talk about.

Should qualifications come first, opportunity come first, or character come first?
This will is almost the nature of the mind.

Of course, there must be differences in the specific discussions, but Luo Chen would not delve into it.

After research, he discovered that the technique "Ding Feng Bo" did indeed have the effect of tempering the will.

If we say "Ming Shen Breaks Evil" uses pain, external stimulation, and tempering of evil spirits to temper the will.

Then "Ding Fengbo" is obviously going to a higher level.

Put your mind on one thing and constantly focus on it, so that your ethereal will can be as strong as a physical treasure.

It is rumored that high-level sword cultivators will generate their own sword intent after reaching a certain level.

It is rumored that among high-level sword cultivators, there is a saying that when the sword is with the person, the person will die with the sword.

It is rumored that after Jade Cauldron Sword Cultivators advance to the Golden Core stage, they can often cultivate their own sword pills to the magic weapon level.

All these can prove that sword cultivators will practice some kind of method to strengthen their own will.

This "Ding Feng Bo" also has a similar effect.

The stronger the nourishment you choose and the closer the connection with yourself, the better the final effect will be!
Naturally, most Jade Cauldron sword cultivators choose sword pills that accompany life and death.

Luo Chen was in trouble.

If he wants to take foreign objects, he has many treasures in his hands.

But it is too much but not enough.

The Shangshu cauldron could have been the best thing, a low-grade magic weapon, and also an alchemy tool, closely related to his alchemy skills.

If this was used to practice "Ding Feng Bo", Luo Chen couldn't even imagine how good the effect would be.

but!

This thing is a damaged version!

Moreover, it was once the natal magic weapon of the alchemy master Shang Hu.

Yes, Luo Chen had already found out that the incomplete Shangshu cauldron given to him by Master Jueqing was the magic weapon of her former Taoist companion Shanghu.

Therefore, Shangshu cauldron is not an option.

Where's the Xuanhuo Sword?

This treasure has a good effect on Luo Chen's combat power, especially the weapon control technique, which is fully displayed on this magic weapon.

Moreover, "Ding Feng Bo" originated from "Hui Sword Art", so it has a natural fit for sword treasures.

but!

The quality of this thing is so poor.

It was a low-quality magic weapon produced by the Yan League back then, and it was even less reliable than the one from Tianfan City.

Luo Chen has been in many battles over the years, and this treasure has been damaged many times. From time to time, Duan Feng has to use the casting technique to repair it for him.

Luo Chen was really afraid that the Xuanhuo Sword would suddenly disintegrate in the next battle.

He didn't want to learn from those swordsmen who played the trick of killing people with the sword and killing them with the sword.

In addition to these two items, Luo Chen also had some fine magic weapons in his hands.

Even at the level of low-grade magic weapons, it can be considered excellent.

Xiao Sanren's soul-stealing jade flute, Song Taozi's flying sword, Zheng Xian's fire fan, Mi Shuhua's relics of the Tianyue Purple Gold Wheel, and even the eighteen thousand-year-old Lei Ying on his hand can all be used. As a "fixed object".

But after some research, Luo Chen finally gave up.

"These things are either incompatible with me, or they have not been carefully practiced, and they are not closely related. They are not the most suitable."

"Most suitable……"

Luo Chen murmured and pointed a finger between his eyebrows.

A black halo slowly emerged.

When the halo dissipated, a simple black chess piece was revealed.

"Actually, I already have the answer."

Looking at the black chess piece, Luo Chen's hesitation gradually dissipated.

Lanke Black Chess - one of the three magic weapons to suppress the clan in Guishen Valley (incomplete version).

Although it is incomplete, it is not completely incomplete.

All it lacks is the white chess piece that can be used as a physical defense.

Without white's cooperation, black's chess would be reduced to a low-grade magic weapon.

But this thing did indeed once have a middle-grade level, and it has never been completely recognized and refined by the seniors of Guishen Valley.

As far as he knew, Lanke Reversi and Guishenwenxinjing were both controlled by the Supreme Elder and Chuan Gong Elder of Guishen Valley in turn.

It is used for the inheritance of the sect and for building the foundation and promoting the golden elixir.

"The potential of this thing is endless, and since I established the foundation, it has been nourished and refined day and night, and it has an extremely close relationship with me."

"And this kind of magic weapon is less likely to be exposed outside and fight with others, which also greatly reduces the risk of being damaged."

"Using this as a fixing object to practice calming the storm is the best!"

After making the decision, Luo Chen completely cut off any trace of hesitation.

With a thought, the black chess piece flew away and floated in mid-air above his head.

Luo Chen stared at it, then gradually closed his eyes.

At the same time, he kept making secrets with his fingers, and streams of spiritual power and spiritual consciousness surged out of him, flying towards Lanke Heiqi.

Tangle, sweep, wrap, and outline spiritual patterns.

During this practice, Luo Chen suddenly gained some clarity.

This Miao simplified secret technique of "Ding Feng Bo" may not be simplified at all.

With his ability and knowledge, how could he simplify the secret technique created by the predecessors of the Sword Sect?

What he did was addition!

In "Ding Feng Bo", the art of sacrificing and refining magic weapons is mixed, and some Buddhist principles of entering samadhi are mixed, but the core is actually the art of forming elixirs.

Spiritual power and spiritual consciousness are integrated and entangled with the help of fixed objects.

Isn't this just another form of "Bead Curtain"?

It's just that the spiritual beads formed by the "Bead Locking Curtain" are too dangerous and too easy to be imbalanced. Therefore, Miao Wen took advantage of it and chose a middleman to buffer the spiritual power and spiritual consciousness, and provide a place for negotiation and compromise.

What if it’s the original version of “Swordsmanship of Wisdom”?

Taking the sword pills that the sword cultivator has been practicing day and night as a fixed object, the monks' spiritual consciousness and spiritual power are intertwined in them, and every part of the sword threads that make up the sword pills is contaminated.

Doesn't that also mean that another "golden elixir" has been formed?
Therefore, if you are successful in sword cultivation and pill formation, you can often advance your sword pill to a higher level.

Similarly, if the sword pill is destroyed, the sword cultivator himself will suffer heavy losses, or even die as well.

In this way, it makes sense.

Jian Pill is originally the second golden elixir of Jian Xiu!After years of extensive reading and outstanding talent in spell cultivation, Luo Chen has accumulated profound knowledge without even realizing it.

When he first practiced "Ding Feng Bo", he saw its essence through the surface.

He even traced back to the original Jade Cauldron Secret Technique and got a glimpse of that corner of the truth.

He vaguely felt that there were still many areas for improvement in "Ding Feng Bo".

Even if you don't follow the original version of "Swordsmanship of Wisdom", you can still find another way and go another way.

but.

At this juncture, Luo Chen would not create any complications.

With the foundation of practicing "Ming Shen Sha Sha", he easily mastered "Ding Feng Bo".

In a daze, his whole body seemed to have become a black chess piece, gradually decaying after being washed away by the years.

But in the wash, his will is like a black reef, standing in the long river of time, as motionless as a mountain!
Be cautious and apprehensive, as if you are in a valley.

Trembling and trembling, walking on thin ice.

The long road to immortality is not limited to Gu Bing.

After thousands of years of decay, idealism remains unchanged.

……

three years later.

Tianlan Fairy City.

Central Street is packed with people, and the excitement is ten times or a hundred times greater than before!
In the past, it was said that refining Qi is like clouds, building foundation is like rain, and golden elixir appears from time to time. Now, it is truly worthy of the name!
From north to south, in the 36 domains, countless monks rush to the Jade Cauldron Domain.

Even if only a small number were diverted to Tianlan Immortal City, the number was staggering.

The shuttle buses in the fairy city run non-stop day and night.

Every shop has its doors wide open, and the monks are doing business happily.

Especially the Tao Discussion Forum of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. With the upcoming Jade Emperor Sword Discussion Forum, the Tao Discussion Forum is becoming more and more popular!

Because the rules of the Jade Emperor's Sword Discussing do not restrict anyone, any sect, and any realm can participate.

But in fact, there are settings.

That is, one must obtain the top ten rankings in the Dao Discussion Platform corresponding to the corresponding realm among the ten major immortal cities in the Jade Cauldron Domain!

Only this generation can be invited to participate in the Jade Emperor's Sword Discussion.

Therefore, the martial arts in the top ten immortal cities in the Jade Cauldron Region are becoming increasingly popular.

On the Road?Swing the road!
Even if you don't want to participate in the Jade Emperor's sword discussion, you are still willing to go to the Tao discussion stage to see the gap between your own strength and others.

The audience watching the games is full every day and every game.

Under this situation, the shops in Tianlan Fairy City can be said to be making a lot of money.

Luo Tianhui also benefited from this process.

Not to mention other businesses, the shop on Central Street alone is making a lot of money every day.

In fact, with Luo Tianhui's strength, he is simply not qualified to own a shop on Central Street.

However, unable to withstand the decline in strength of the Lianyun Merchant Alliance, the Great Elder Lianyun disappeared for many years and did not return.

Luo Chen knew that He Lianyun had died at his hands long ago.

Therefore, after returning, he asked Sima Huiniang to contact Ailao Mountain, the rotating sect of Immortal City at that time.

When the Lianyun Business Alliance was unable to pay the rent, Luo Tianhui was the first to take over the Lianyun Building.

now!

Lianyun Tower has been renamed Danxia Palace.

The business they run is similar to that of the previous Lianyun Merchant Alliance, except that there are two more types of main businesses.

That is the elixir and snack business.

The elixir business has become more stable and calm after Qu Lingjun advanced to the foundation building stage, and Qu Lingjun has even mastered the second-level elixir.

And because he was Luo Chen's direct disciple, many low-level monks in Tianlan specially gave him the Taoist title of "Ling Junzi" in order to compliment him.

This kind of Taoist title seems perfunctory, just adding the honorific "Zi" after the name.

But it also implies the intention of flattering Luo Chen.

After all, Luo Chen held dual titles, and one of them, Huo Lingjun, had a nominal connection with Qu Lingjun, the "Lingjunzi".

As a result, the Danxia Palace, where two second-level alchemists, Dan Chenzi and Ling Junzi, were stationed, naturally became a place that countless low-level monks flocked to.

After all, Luo Tianhui's elixirs were sold cheaply.

The snack business is a Luo Tianhui tradition.

Monks have a theory of fasting, but only after building the foundation.

And it is not that the monks who have established the foundation will not eat anything. If the snacks taste good and contain spiritual energy, no one will mind spending a few spiritual stones to buy them and taste them.

This is also true.

Among the high-end shops on Central Street, Danxia Temple, which specializes in low-level monks, has become the shop with the largest flow of people and the liveliest atmosphere.

Even Gu Caiyi, the master of the Luotianhui Golden Palace, spends nine out of ten times in the Danxia Palace.

this day.

She and Yuan Xiaoyue, who had already established a foundation, were welcoming a golden elixir master.

The other party is said to be a senior from Fenghua Palace.

After she entered Danxia Palace, she kept wandering around.

Especially the floor where the elixirs are sold, I can't stop there.

After a long time, the senior suddenly asked: "Aren't there any Jade Dew Pills for sale?"

Gu Caiyi looked serious and said cautiously: "Senior Fengyue, I don't know where you heard the news. Our Danxia Palace does not sell Jade Dew Pills."

Fairy Feng Yue raised her lips slightly, "Master Dan Chenzi is good at refining Jade Dew Pill. Isn't this a well-known thing?"

Yuludan!
Fenghuayu specialty!
In Fenghua Palace, there are several masters who are good at refining this elixir.

And Fairy Fengyue is also the best among them.

Although he is not a major in alchemy, he can still refine high-grade Jade Dew Pills stably.

Gu Caiyi sweated on his forehead and said softly: "Our president can indeed refine the Jade Dew Pill, but it is currently only supplied to Ice Castle, so it will not be sold to outsiders."

Fairy Fengyue raised her eyebrows.

She actually knew this news.

but!

Qiong nose sniffed lightly, with a half-smile expression on her face.

"Junior, you said you only supply it to Ice Castle, but why do I also smell the fragrance of Jade Dew Pill that you have been taking for a long time on your body?"

Gu Caiyi was startled.

She and Sima Huiniang have indeed been taking Jade Dew Pills for a long time, and most of them are top-grade or top-grade pills.

But Danxiang?

The Jade Dew Pill is icy and tasteless, but under their rouge and body fragrance, it actually still smells?
Luo Chen has never mentioned this!
But it was this confusion that made Fairy Fengyue confirm her thoughts.

"It seems that you have indeed used Jade Dew Pills. Do you have any with you? Give me two!"

Gu Caiyi's expression changed, she had been deceived!

Luo Chen was always thoughtful in his work and rarely left anything behind.

If Jade Dew Pill has an obvious fragrance, it will definitely be mentioned.

Now that I was accidentally tricked out by someone, I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble.

As her expression changed.

Fairy Fengyue chuckled in her heart. Although it was verbal deception, it was something that had been determined for a long time.

As two women rumored to have a close relationship with Luo Chen, Sima Huiniang and Gu Caiyi have long fallen into the eyes of countless people.

Especially Gu Caiyi, who travels outside all year round!
Although his qualifications are ordinary, his cultivation is progressing rapidly!
At a young age, he has already reached the middle stage of foundation building, which is comparable to the true cultivation speed of large sects.

If it weren't for the help of Dan Chenzi's Jade Dew Pill, there would be no such progress.

As Gu Caiyi's expression changed, she gritted her teeth and said, "Senior, this is Tianlan Immortal City. Forced buying and selling are not allowed..."

"It's not a forced purchase or sale, or even saying that I won't buy your Jade Dew Pill." Fairy Fengyue waved her sleeves and pointed at the dazzling array of various pills on the shelf, "I just spent 5 Yuanling. Shi, I bought a batch of first-level elixirs from you that are needed by Qi Refining Stage disciples. And you felt my generosity, so you specially gave me two Jade Dew Pills as a supplement."

"Do you think this is okay?"

Whose elder buys elixirs for disciples in the Qi refining stage? It costs 5 to [-] yuan!
In particular, Fenghua Palace has trained some sect alchemists of its own, and there is no shortage of low-level elixirs that ordinary cultivators like Luo Tianhui need.

At this time, it was Gu Caiyi who was in trouble.

The opponent's realm was advanced, but he didn't completely overwhelm others with his power. Instead, he gave her a step down.

In this case, Luo Chen did not violate the cooperation contract with Ice Castle.

but……

Gu Caiyi tensed her face and insisted: "Senior, this junior cannot make the decision on this matter. I must ask the president of my family for instructions. You..."

Listening to her words, the smile on Fairy Fengyue's face gradually faded away.

"He's very kind and persistent."

"It's a pity that if you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink wine as a penalty. Are you really in the fairy city, and I can't do anything to you?"

As he spoke, a wave of spiritual pressure emerged vaguely.

Gu Caiyi's beauty turned pale.

At this moment, an elegant middle-aged man walked in from outside the building.

"Xiao Gu, have you restocked your fried silkworm chrysalises that go with wine?"

As the voice came, the spiritual pressure emitted by Fairy Fengyue suddenly disappeared and turned into a warm and majestic aura.

Fairy Fengyue's expression changed slightly, and she stared at the elegant middle-aged man who came up from downstairs.

"Haoran is righteous? Isn't the Haoran sect gone?"

The elegant man smiled slightly, "I, Haoranzi, am a member of the Haoran sect. After all, I was also a part of the Fenghua domain back then. Fairy Fengyue, when the sixteen sects defeated Lianxia together, I remember that you just won that Fenghua domain. Be the first in the Palace Qi Refining Competition!"

Fairy Fengyue was shocked and confused. She didn't expect that the other party knew her so well.

But she didn't understand Haoranzi at all.

Just when she was about to explore the other party's details, she suddenly saw the other party suddenly raise his head, a pair of bright eyes that seemed to penetrate the attic wooden boards, and the formation was restricted, looking towards the heights.

Fairy Feng Yue was startled, but then she came to her senses.

"Someone is trying to form a pill!"

Haoranzi looked in the direction of Tianlan Peak and nodded immediately.

"The dragons and tigers gather together, and the spiritual energy pours in. This is a sign of the success of the elixir!"

Fairy Feng Yue frowned, the war was about to open up. The Jade Cauldron Territory had been accumulated for many years and had experienced a civil war that lasted for decades. Those strong men of the younger generation who survived began to break out one after another.

She had seen such a scene not long ago.

Suddenly!
Haoranzi turned his head and smiled slightly at her.

"As far as I know, the fellow Taoist who is preparing to form elixirs in that cave is none other than monk Luo Tianhui. Fellow Taoist Fengyue, why don't we go and visit together later?"
