Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 564: Confusion in Taoist Heart, Demon in Transformation

"Teacher, do you think it is possible for me to form an elixir in the future?"

An anxious and confused voice came from the side. Luo Chen looked at the middle-aged man and frowned subconsciously.

Luo Chen didn't put much thought into cultivating this named disciple.

In other words, Luo Chen's own skills in teaching his disciples were not very good.

Whether it is his true successor Qu Lingjun or his junior Zeng Yilong, Luo Chen's guidance and instruction to them is more reflected in "putting it into practice".

This is also related to Luo Chen's experience.

Throughout Luo Chen's life, he had not done much systematic theoretical study. He basically relied on gaining proficiency step by step.

Whether it's alchemy, magic, or body training.

In his view, practice is greater than theory, and only practice can reveal one’s true abilities.

"You are only at the seventh level of qi refining, but you dream of the golden elixir avenue. Don't you know that it's important to aim too high?"

He seemed to have expected this answer?

Seeing that the other party handled the medicinal materials for him and had great achievements in hard work, plus he had a certain talent in alchemy, Luo Chen felt a little pity for his talent, so he accepted him as a registered disciple, taught some basic alchemy skills, and occasionally corrected some mistakes.

But in shock, he frowned and shook his head.

The latter one is still a restriction imposed by Luo Chen on the other party.

Since he knows everything, it means that his life in the past thirty years has not been in vain. Why do you ask such nonsense?

He didn't ask further questions, just looked at the other person quietly.

Luo Chen sneered, "Only when you have endured hardship can you become a master. If you don't experience pain, just dream about the future. Isn't it better to aim too high?"

At this moment, Luo Chen was really surprised when the other party suddenly asked this question.

Luo Chen said displeasedly: "Since you know, why don't you keep your feet on the ground and do it step by step? Refining Qi to build the foundation, golden elixir Yuanying, this is how monks of our generation have always worked hard, and finally transformed into gods and ascended to achieve the true path of immortality! Why? , do you still want to take the nine-turn golden elixir from myths and legends and become an immortal in one step?"

Xu Muxian lowered his head and looked at the grass under his feet that was moistened by spiritual energy and showing new buds. "Disciples also know this."

"But what if not?"

After finally learning one or two alchemy skills, his status did not change much. It was not until he met himself that he had the opportunity to change his life.

Xu Muchian's eyes wandered, with a hint of admiration, "That's because for you, my mentor, you regard meditating day and night and practicing painful secrets as nothing more than taking pleasure in suffering. Many people, including me, cannot persist to the end."

He has power, wealth, fine wines and delicacies, he drinks here and there, he shows off his power, and he doesn't even have to guard his beloved wife, but he can't do that kind of thing.

But why is this happening?

Luo Chen was puzzled. Xu Muxian was quite motivated when he was a teenager when he met him.

After hearing these words, Luo Chen was filled with disappointment and had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Xu Muchian trembled all over, but pursed his lips and said, "I know."

Luo Chen was puzzled.

Luo Chen snorted, "What does it mean to be meaningless, and what does it mean to waste one's time? The process of seeking the truth is itself a meaningful thing."

"Compared with five hundred years of vicissitudes of life, one hundred years is just a blink of an eye." Xu Muchian said in a low voice: "Without the efforts of seeing the results, the disciples only feel that they are there, suffering day and night."

"Teacher, I'm just thinking that if I have hope for the great road, I should learn from you and practice hard, and work hard every day."

He has discovered that he, a registered disciple, has talent but no firm determination to pursue the Tao. His future achievements can be seen at a glance.

Xu Muxian's status as a registered disciple has greater symbolic significance than the inheritance of Taoism.

"My mentor enjoys the process, but what I want to see is the result."

Because of these experiences, he taught his disciples and often asked them to do it.

When he set off for Xuanyan Island, Cheng Haixin mentioned that he wanted to marry the Xu family and betroth the daughter of the Cheng family to Xu Muxian, which could also be regarded as winning over this rising star of the Feiyan Islands with unlimited potential.

This tone is a bit serious.

With the other party's current status, it is true that he does not need to practice pure and hard work, but should enjoy a more relaxed and pleasant life.

In the dull atmosphere, Xu Muchian clenched his fists, as if to embolden himself, and raised his head.

He is just a sign erected by Luo Chen to protect the hearts of the families in Feiyan Islands.

At some point, Xu Muxian's body had stopped shaking.

"That doesn't mean that tens or hundreds of years will turn into a handful of loess in the end and be in vain."

What is the deep "master-disciple relationship" between the two?

That's nonsense.

As his thoughts flowed and he thought of this person's experience, Luo Chen felt a little enlightened.

Luo Chen was afraid that the other party would be obsessed with men and women, destroy Yuan Yang, and have no hope of building a foundation in the future, so he specifically mentioned it.

Born in a branch of the Xu family, he was not popular when he was young.

"That being the case, why can't I enjoy these years and do more happy and meaningful things. When I die, I won't feel regretful that my years were wasted."

Luo Chen disagreed, "If you don't go through the process, there will be no results. If you fantasize about the golden elixir road, you should go through the realm of foundation building, and you will have at least a hundred more years of life."

He stood quietly opposite Luo Chen. He was of average height and had low eyebrows, but he seemed to be calm.

The same is true for Xu Muxian.

The daughter of the Cheng family, Xu Muchian, obeyed Luo Chen's rules.

I had good intentions, but I didn't expect...

Yes, after many years of hard life, after achieving something, there is no want of indulgence. I also saw that Cheng Dou, who had completed the foundation building process, failed to attack the golden elixir stage, and his way was destroyed, so he felt cowardly in his heart.

Luo Chen had some vague understanding.

What about yourself back then?

All in all, after achieving something at each stage, there are actually some indulgent actions that soothe the mood.

Establishing power, seizing great power, and having thousands of people at his command, he can cut down mountains and wipe out families with just one word.

Hui Niang in colorful clothes, accompanied by two beauties, is favored by superiors and looked up to and respected by inferiors.

These experiences gave Luo Chen a sufficient sense of reward through his unremitting efforts, so he never tired of it.

People need to see positive feedback!

But many people don’t receive enough positive feedback.

Xu Muxian's current situation is actually the norm for all low-level immortal cultivators.

After realizing that the road is hopeless, choose to give up and do something comfortable instead.

Travel around the world and enjoy the scenery.

The branches and leaves are spread, and the blood is passed down.

If it weren't for the regulations of the Holy Land sect, many Qi refiners would have wandered into the ordinary world and enjoyed an extremely luxurious life all day long.

Wine pools and meat forests make you enchanted, nothing better than yes!

Thinking of this, Luo Chen reflected on himself.

If you don't have an attribute panel where you can see your proficiency improving all the time, what will happen in the end?

Is it to indulge in low-level pleasure, or...

Reflection came to an abrupt end.

Luo Chen laughed dumbly. Wasn't this hypothesis already demonstrated many years ago?

That was the first time he took Tongyou Dan.

Entering the secluded world and dreaming, increasing the spiritual soul.

In such a dream, he had no system, but because he wanted to improve his alchemy skills and change his own destiny, he joined the Poshan Gang again and again, mining to earn spiritual stones to make alchemy... until finally, he successfully made a pill that could change himself. All wonderful pills.

Although in the dream, he was old and frail, and his energy and blood were declining.

But with the alchemy technique at hand, even if the foundation building period cannot be achieved in the future, the cultivation environment can still be improved.

The heart towards the Tao is rooted deep in the soul!

Xu Muchian stood there quietly, looking at his mentor who looked younger than himself, and he felt much more relaxed.

Some words, if kept in your heart for too long, will make you sick.

He has been practicing meditation recently and has been unable to enter concentration.

Although he thought that his mentor might be furious, he was just unhappy. This situation already made him feel much better.

However, I may have disappointed my mentor!

Suddenly, a hand put on his shoulder and patted him twice.

The man with a calm face and gentle eyes spoke slowly.

"I can't say whether you can form an elixir, but I know that five hundred years will allow you to see more scenery and enjoy more fun. The Feiyan Islands are just a small place, and staying here is just a waste of time. The frog in the well.”

"Don't you want to jump out and see a wider world?"

After saying that, Luo Chen stopped his hand and left calmly.

In the end, he still didn't solve his disciple's doubts, he just gave the undecided opponent a future he could imagine.

Xu Muxian stood there, his expression still blank, but he murmured vaguely:

"A broader world..."

……

After returning to his residence, Luo Chen felt a little regretful.

If the Ghost Mirror is still there, that would be fine.

With the illusion of mirror, flowers, water and moon, you can easily choose a more suitable path for Xu Muxian.

I wonder if the other party will listen to me?

After hearing this, if you finally try hard but get nothing, will you resent your irresponsible teacher? For these problems, Luo Chen just thought about them and put them behind him.

In the final analysis, he is just a registered disciple.

……

As Xu Muxian said, a hundred years of time flies by in a blink of an eye.

The time Luo Chen stayed in Feiyan Islands also passed quickly in his poor life of practicing and refining alchemy day after day.

In a long time, three years passed by in a blink of an eye, as if it was just a trance.

In the past three years, Luo Chen's gains in storing pills have been huge.

Even though it was difficult to collect many medicinal materials due to the remote location of the Feiyan Islands and the different environments between the North Sea and the Eastern Wasteland, Luo Chen was able to refine many of the elixirs he had mastered through some improved methods.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a third-level alchemy master.

But on the system panel, he is already a genuine fourth-level alchemist. He is familiar with scriptures, proficient in pharmacology, and has all kinds of alchemy skills at his fingertips.

For first-level and second-level elixir prescriptions, even if there are no suitable medicinal materials, he can find replacements through repeated experiments.

Bigu Pill, Tongyou Pill, Jade Dew Pill, Emperor Liujing Pill, Fanxing Pill, True Flame Pill...

In three years, Luo Chen's pockets were full.

The price was that the major families in the Feiyan Islands were miserable and their resources were squeezed to the limit.

But everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

The power of the Demon King cannot tolerate provocation!

……

This day.

Cheng Haixin sent an invitation!

In the hall, Luo Chen looked at the gilded invitation with a look of surprise.

"No wonder there is this ten-year period."

On the invitation, there was clearly the time and place of a large-scale auction, as well as the names of some carefully marked precious materials.

This invitation was brought back from outside by the Feiyan Caravan, and was specially ordered to be delivered by Wu Qi from Wushen Island.

Cheng Haixin explained from the side: "Feileng City is located on Lengguang Island. Lengguang Island is the largest super island in the southeastern part of the North Sea. It has countless cities and various forces."

"Overall, this place is a neutral zone."

Luo Chen was puzzled, "Neutral? Shouldn't it be under the jurisdiction of the Canghai Alliance?"

Cheng Haixin shook his head, "That's not the case. As the largest city on Lengguang Island, Feileng City is the most powerful among the many forces. The city owner, Fairy Feileng, had an old relationship with a Yuan Ying Zhenren from the Yuan Mo Sect in his early years. Only with the real person of the Yuan Mo Sect can she monopolize Feileng City. Therefore, even if the Demon Sect is destroyed, in the eyes of outsiders, she still belongs to the remnants of the Demon Sect... the lineage of the Demon Sect's legacy. In the early years, the Canghai Alliance tried to accept each other, but was rejected by the other party.”

"Mo Luo Liu didn't recruit her?" Luo Chen asked.

"Rejected too."

Luo Chen was a little surprised.

In today's chaotic Beihai, isn't it a way to die if you don't stick together to keep warm, but turn away from the world and become independent?

Suddenly!

He came to his senses.

Feileng City, which has always been calm and undisputed, suddenly held a super auction under the current situation, bringing together all parties. Isn't it sending a signal?

A signal called "Choice"!

Through this auction, the Feileng City Lord is likely to fall to one side.

Maybe it's the Canghai Alliance, maybe it's the Mo Luo Liu, or it's maybe other top Nascent Soul forces.

But no matter which party it is, they are very keen to have an extra Nascent Soul Master in their family, and take control of Lengguang Island, the largest island in the southeast!

This signal should have been released a long time ago.

Mo Luo Liu had also been preparing for this for a long time. Only then did Wu Qi set a ten-year deadline, and the Blood Nightmare Mo Luo came to Feiyan to find Luo Chen.

"In other words, if I go there, I will most likely encounter people like Blood Nightmare Demon Luo?"

Luo Chen murmured in his heart.

He was not that afraid of dealing with the real Yuanying.

As the saying goes, an excellent alchemist will always be popular wherever he goes, unless he meets someone who is jealous of his talent.

Moreover, since he is now in the Golden Core stage, he will not be forcibly recruited by Mi Shuhua and used as a tool when he was in the Qi Refining stage.

When his eyes fell on the invitation, Luo Chen was a little moved by the densely packed names of materials.

From above, he saw more than a dozen auxiliary materials needed for the Ying Ying Dan!

You know, Feiyan Caravan has also been collecting medicinal materials for Jieying Dan for him over the years, but the harvest has been very little.

Not to mention scarcity, some common ones are also expensive and cannot be afforded by Monk Feiyan's family.

It is even said that for some materials, not only spiritual stones but also "qualifications" are required.

If you don't have the realm, you are not qualified to come into contact with it, let alone buy it.

"Master, are you going?"

Cheng Haixin asked cautiously, but he already had the answer in his heart.

Over the years, Demon Lord Qingyang has been refining elixirs extensively, and many of them are not what he needs. After all, they are just preparations for his long journey.

In other words, the other party has decided to leave.

As expected, Luo Chen nodded slightly.

Cheng Hai understood, but another issue was more important.

"Master, if you go, will you come back?"

Luo Chen's eyes fell on her and asked, "Do you want to go with me?"

"I..." The woman hesitated.

"Go down first, I have something else to do."

Cheng Haixin showed hesitation, but finally he bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

After she left, Luo Chen sighed.

If the other party really wants to go with him, that's fine, he doesn't mind it being a burden.

Instead, because Cheng Haixin has taken care of trivial matters for him over the years, she already knows some of his habits. After being taken away, she can continue to help him with trivial matters.

But it's obvious that the other party has family problems, so he won't be able to walk away easily.

Luo Chen didn't take it seriously. Without Cheng Haixin, with his methods, it would not be difficult to have a second Cheng Haixin.

At the moment, there is another important matter that needs to be dealt with.

With a flip of his wrist, a dazzling, gold-plated pill appeared in his hand.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear the faint sound of a baby crying.

It's the Transformation Pill!

After three years in Cangwu Mountain, Luo Chen finally refined a batch of Transformation Pills, five in total.

Four were given to Youquan, the master of Duzhen Palace, and the last one was kept by him in the name of research.

This kind of elixir is something you can come across but cannot ask for.

Even if Luo Chen had already mastered it and had the means to refine it in batches, he still couldn't reproduce it.

Without him!

The main material is the biggest limitation!

The main material of the Transformation Pill is the original essence and blood of Zhenren Yuanying!

He, Luo Chen, has no ability to collect the most precious essence and blood of Master Yuanying.

After getting the Transformation Pill, Luo Chen thought and sent out a message.

After a while, a strong wind swept outside the hall, and at the same time, there was a lazy voice that sounded like someone had not woken up.

"Tianxuan, can you please be gentle and destroy the master's flowers and plants? Be careful of being scolded."

"I want you to take care of it. You're a big fat snake. You sleep all day long, but you still have the nerve to talk to me."

"Haha, little girl."

"Are you looking for a fight?"

"Come on, let's try it with your Black King. I, the Black King, am not afraid of you now."

"I'm afraid that if you don't succeed, I'll take the time to go to the sea and see if I don't beat you to pieces."

Following the noise, a gull and a dragon shrank in size and stepped into the hall.

Before he could speak, the second demon's eyes subconsciously fell on the golden elixir.

Gudong!

Gudong!

The clearly audible sound of swallowing saliva came from the throats of the two demon kings.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, held up his hand, and the Transformation Pill slowly flew in front of the two of them.
