Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 708: Building a blood pool, breaking through the ninth floor, the end of the ten thousand paths, the hidden body of the path ( words long chapter)
What is the current situation of the Black King?

Based on Luo Chen's careful inspection over the past few months, he has already gained some understanding.

The physical injuries were so severe that they were almost impossible to rebuild.

The demon pill was shattered, and the demon power that had been cultivated for hundreds of years was either dissipated or integrated into the broken bones.

The soul is dead, like a flickering light.

To anyone, such injuries were no different from being on the verge of death.

In fact, it is normal to have such trauma.

Even though the Dan Palace's formation had severely reduced the power of the explosion of that spiritual treasure, the Black King was still unable to contend with even the aftermath.

If it weren't for his good foundation and his soaking in the Holy Soul-Shaping Spring, and if it weren't for Luo Chen's protection after his physical nirvana, the Black King would have died on the spot in the Dan Palace.

After being seriously injured, the Black King instinctively fell into hibernation using the method of the cliff snake.

The soul that was about to be extinguished at any time was also preserved.

But, that's all.

If he wants to recover, he can't do it alone.

In this situation, all of Luo Chen's medical skills could only repair some of his physical injuries.

It can even be said that in the eyes of Tianxuan who was watching from the sidelines, even if Luo Chen rescued the Black King, the other party would be no different from a useless person.

Without him!

The demon pill has been shattered, and there is no possibility of continuing on the great path.

But how could Tian Xuan bear not to save them? The two monsters became Luo Chen's disciples one after the other. Although their relationship was not harmonious, they were still friends after all.

Luo Chen also has a lot to consider.

The Black King is a good helper to him, and he has invested a lot of resources in training the Black King.

It would be a pity to give it up now.

Especially the loyalty that the Black King showed at the last moment...

"Let's build a blood pool first!"

Luo Chen murmured as he had already made a decision.

If it were the old him, there would be no way to save the Black King because his injuries were too severe.

But after experiencing the inheritance of the Dan Palace, he searched through the classics for three months and actually found a way.

The Dan Palace inheritance, in addition to the Refining Heavenly Cauldron, also includes 72 volumes of Dan books, 36 Dan recipes, and the three sealed magical Dan recipes of Dingshen, Kanxu, and Hedao.

Among them, the seventy-two volumes of elixir books and elixir recipes do not have any restrictions.

After Luo Chen's quick tour, he had a vague idea of ​​the situation.

These elixir books and recipes cover the three major races of humans, demons and monsters!
There are inherent subdivisions among them, but the differences are more in terms of grades.

Take the twelve kinds of pill recipes related to the human race, for example, they are from the Qi Refining Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, and each stage is divided into three types. The recipe for the Spiritual Root Pill in the Dan Realm Assessment is also included, but it is more complete.

The three pill recipes for each realm have different uses.

There are realm-breaking elixirs, cultivation elixirs, and the remaining one with different functions, covering many aspects such as assistance, healing, prolonging life, breaking through obstacles, clearing the mind, calming the spirit, and even poisonous pills.

This is true for the human race, and also for the twelve elixir recipes of the demon race.

Among them, there is a fourth-level blood pill method, which has the effect of reshaping the body, healing wounds and changing blood.

However, if you want to refine this pill, the first thing you need to do is to build a blood pool!
As for how to build it, Luo Chen already had a general idea in his mind.

……

Three days later.

Sang Jinghe looked at the huge pit that was ten feet long and wide with a look of regret.

This is one of the few fourth-level spiritual soil areas on Longyuan Island!
He was planning to cut it up and plan it into spiritual fields to grow some rare medicinal herbs.

But now, it was actually refined by Demon Lord Qingyang with real fire, supplemented with other mineral materials, and built into a pool that looked like colored glaze.

What are you going to use this pool for?
Luo Chen looked quietly at the pond under his feet, and suddenly spoke:
"Jinghe, aren't you worried about those ubiquitous dragon earthworms that are affecting your ability to transplant ambergris?"

Sang Jinghe was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "That's great, I will help you solve this problem today!"

Sang Jinghe was surprised. Could it be that Senior Luo had already thought of setting up a shielding formation?

However, the next moment, the other party's actions made him feel cold.

But Luo Chen no longer suppressed his breath, and released it all out.

An aura like that of a prehistoric beast spread out in an instant, rushing in all directions.

But in the blink of an eye, it had covered half of the island.

Not only that, Luo Chen stomped his foot!
boom!
Enormous forces were transmitted layer by layer into the depths of the earth's veins.

As if there was an earthquake, Longyuan Island began to tremble.

Under the coordination of this breath and vibration, countless dragon earthworms hiding on Longyuan Island felt like the end of the world was coming. They could no longer hide in the soil and rock layers and crawled out of the ground one after another.

rustling...

rustling...

Everywhere you look, you see long gray worms wandering around in panic on the ground.

Such a scene makes people feel physically uncomfortable and almost nauseous!

However, Luo Chen remained extremely calm.

He just raised his hands!
A cyan-gold point of light slowly emerged from behind him, with flames flickering and branches stretching out.

In a flash, a green fire tree appeared and floated in the air.

It's like a dream and shining brightly.

This green fire tree has restrained power, without high temperature and without violent and frenzied flames.

However, when they appeared, countless dragon earthworms became restless and subconsciously fled towards the outside of Longyuan Island.

That is the instinctive fear of the soul!

However, it's too late.

Luo Chen's mind moved, and the fire tree flew high into the sky as if it had a spirit. Then its branches stretched out, and puffs of sparks flew out like catkins.

Countless dragon earthworms, anyone who was contaminated by them, stood there in a daze.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen smiled with satisfaction.

The withered and flourishing true fire had become so powerful without anyone noticing.

The strange fire takes shape and gives birth to a true spirit!
If Luo Chen hadn't deliberately suppressed it, the spirituality of this fire would instantly become like those sourceless fire spirits in the Burning Purgatory, full of independent will.

But at the moment, Luo Chen doesn't have that idea.

He himself has not advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. If his true fire had free will, it would be easy for the guest to bully the host.

All I can say is wait!
Wait until he breaks through the Nascent Soul stage!

By then, once he achieves the Nascent Soul stage, the ball of true fire in his hand will be free from some restrictions. Combined with its own terrifying background, it will surely become a killer move in Luo Chen's hands!
However, for now, the power of the Withering and Flourishing True Fire is enough to threaten the Nascent Soul Stage. These hundreds of thousands of low-level dragon earthworms were suppressed in an instant.

"Tianxuan, Jinghe, go and bring back all the dragon earthworms that were suppressed by my true fire."

"Follow the order!"

"Yes!"

The two flew out without thinking, wandered around Longyuan Island, and brought back living dragon earthworms.

They were just suppressed by the sparks of the True Fire of Withering and Flourishing, but they did not die.

From this, we can see that Luo Chen's fire control skills are so superb that he has reached the level of being able to control fire as if it were his will, and meticulous!
At first, they didn't understand Luo Chen's plan.

But after seeing Luo Chen killing dragon earthworms and pouring their turbid blood into the glass pool, he vaguely understood something.

Even if you leave hundreds of thousands of dragon earthworms for people to kill, they will be exhausted to death.

But with the combined efforts of the three, they were all destroyed in just a few days.

A pool of blood that smelled extremely foul appeared in front of the three people.

"It's such a waste. If these dragon earthworms are used well, they will be enough to prosper the sect." Sang Jinghe felt extremely regretful. He didn't expect that Luo Chen's solution to the dragon earthworm problem was not to use a formation, but to solve the problem itself.

Tianxuan didn't have any idea. "Longyuan Island is very big. There are tens of millions of low-level dragon earthworms hidden in it. There are only a few hundred thousand of them."

Luo Chen said nothing as he put various medicinal herbs into it.

Then, in front of the two of them, the sleeping Black King's body was thrown in.

The turbid blood bubbled up and completely submerged the Black King.

Tianxuan couldn't help but ask, "Master, can the Black King be cured if he just soaks like this?"

"not enough!"

Luo Chen shook his head.

"The Black King is too seriously injured. This little bit of stuff is still not enough to heal him. Next, in your free time, go catch more second-level dragon earthworms, draw their blood and put it in the blood pool. Also, after you recover from your injuries, sweep the surroundings and kill any third-level demon kings you encounter and bring them back."

Tianxuan did not refuse, but he was worried that he was not strong enough.

She is now in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. Relying on the top-grade magic weapon, the Nine Winds Banana Fan, she dares to fight with the Great Demon King. But it would be a bit difficult for her to kill him and bring back his corpse.

Luo Chen had expected this.

"Take this fire with you!"

Luo Chen pointed his finger, and three green flames fell off the fire tree and slowly sank into Tianxuan's eyebrows.

"When you encounter someone you cannot defeat, just ignite this fire."

"Okay, you guys go down first!"

After finishing speaking, Luo Chen dismissed his attendants.

After the two left, Luo Chen sat cross-legged in front of the glazed blood pool with a resolute expression.

He bit the tip of his tongue.

A drop of blood from the tip of the tongue slowly flew out.

Tick!
Drops of bright red blood fell into the pool of blood.

In an instant, there was a crackling sound in the quiet pool of blood, as if boiling oil was poured into water.

The Black King's body was looming in the explosion.

As the rejection reaction gradually subsided, the turbid color of the blood mixed with a large amount of dragon earthworms turned bright red.

"For a mere spiritual pet, you are willing to waste your energy."

At some point, a person was already standing quietly beside Luo Chen.

The man had a pale face, as if dead and alive, and resembled Han Zhan's original appearance.

"How did you come?"

Han Zhan chuckled, "You made such a big fuss before, I had to come!"

Luo Chen slowly stood up and looked at "Han Zhan".

"How are you adapting to this body?"

Han Zhan stretched his muscles and smacked his lips.

"It's still too early. Fei Yunzi and I are at different realms, and our spiritual roots are different. Especially after years of cultivation, the directions of our meridians and the number of acupoints are also very different. I am only a Nascent Soul occupying the Purple Palace now, and it is far from being a perfect possession. According to my estimation, it will take at least ten years to perfectly adapt to this body and exert my peak strength."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

"Let's not talk about me for now. You've made such a big move and built such a Four Spirits Blood Pool. Can you really save the Black King?"

Luo Chen whispered, "We'll take it one step at a time. We'll first take care of his physical injuries, and then we'll solve other problems. As for his soul, I may have to trouble you then."

"I don't mind." Han Zhan tried to stroke his non-existent beard, froze for a moment, and then put his hands behind his back. "As for you, you should prepare to break through the ninth level of the Golden Core and then strive for the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"exactly."

"In that case, you squeezed out the blood from your heart before, and now you've wasted your vital energy to squeeze out a drop of blood from the tip of your tongue. Aren't you afraid that your foundation will be shaken?"

In response, Luo Chen smiled slightly.

"Then please don't worry about it, Senior. Since I dare to do this, I must have the confidence to not delay my cultivation."

Luo Chen does have the confidence!
Human blood essence is a mixture of magic power and physical blood, and is also mixed with a strong vitality.

Most people don't dare to waste their essence and blood indiscriminately.

But Luo Chen didn't have this worry.

After he devoured the Tai Sui's body, its vitality was terrifying. Even after Luo Chen completed the nirvana of his body, he still hadn't digested it completely. Now wasting a few drops of blood, apart from a slight loss of mana, it really didn't affect him too much.

What's more, this Four Spirits Blood Pool indeed requires powerful blood as the main material.

Looking at all the resources in hand, only the essence and blood produced by Luo Chen's body, which is comparable to that of a wild beast, can be called powerful.

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on." Han Zhan shrugged somewhat unnaturally and walked down the mountain.

Looking at his back, Luo Chen frowned.

The other party first stopped touching his beard and then shrugged awkwardly, which showed that he was not in control of his body very well. However, is it so difficult to take over a physical body?
You know, Fei Yunzi's Nascent Soul had been crushed by him.

It’s just an empty body. With Han Zhan’s ability, he still can’t control nature after several months?
Luo Chen thought for a while, and finally activated the formation to cover the blood pool, and returned to the hut in the abyss alone.

Feeling the pure spiritual energy purified by the formation, Luo Chen smiled with satisfaction.

This is where the main vein of the fourth-level spiritual vein is located!
The spiritual energy there is extremely abundant.

At least from Luo Chen's perspective, it was an extremely standard fourth-order lower-grade spiritual vein.

Logically speaking, a Jindan cultivator wouldn't dare to practice in such a dense environment.

Just like people need water, a proper amount of water can quench people's thirst, and abundant water resources allow people to swim freely. But if you are under the strong pressure of the deep sea, let alone swimming freely, you can't even open your mouth.

But all these laws were broken in Luo Chen's case.

Comparable to the body of a wild beast!
After being reshaped, it becomes a fire spirit body that can accommodate a large amount of fire-attributed spiritual energy!

Plus the master-level "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra"!
With these three foundations, Luo Chen dared to practice for a long time in the fourth-level spiritual veins at the Jindan realm.

It can even be said that because of these many conditions, Luo Chen's cultivation speed has reached the fastest in history!
According to his estimation, it is at least three times the number before leaving Penghu!
Such earth-shaking changes are hard to imagine for outsiders.

But compared with what Luo Chen has done to achieve this speed of cultivation, it is only natural.

Whether it's the flesh and blood of a wild beast, the body of a fire spirit, or even the grandmaster-level "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", who in this world can achieve even one or two of them?

Not to mention the fourth-level spiritual vein, it is definitely not something that a Jindan cultivator can enjoy exclusively.

In Han Zhan's opinion, since Luo Chen now has a favorable environment both internally and externally, he should make progress bravely and concentrate on practicing in an attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

But Luo Chen didn't think so!

"In the Land of Fallen Demons, I soaked in the...Spirit Shaping Holy Spring, and my realm soared from the sixth level of the Golden Core to the eighth level of the Golden Core in one breath. At first glance, my foundation is still solid, and there is no sense of emptiness. But in my heart, I feel like I am sitting on a castle in the air, with ups and downs and uneasy."

Luo Chen already knew the name of the magical spring from the alchemy book left by Demon Lord Liantian.

He was naturally amazed at its various miraculous effects.

If Lord Liantian had not left behind the recipe for refining this spiritual spring, Luo Chen would have even hoped to have the chance to reproduce this spring water in the future.

Far away.

Back to topic.

The sudden rise in his realm made Luo Chen feel uneasy.

This has nothing to do with the state of mind itself, but the gap in state of mind.

Therefore, even though Luo Chen had such a favorable training environment, he still suppressed his desire to make progress.

"Let's sharpen our skills some more!"

Luo Chen murmured something, then practiced his innate skills and entered a deep level of cultivation.

……

The tempering he mentioned is definitely not as simple as meditation and practice.

One of them is the refinement of the purity of magic power!
The second Yuandan was broken.

But Luo Chen had long been accustomed to living with double magic power.

Because of his five spiritual roots, his magic power is several times that of people at the same level. With the blessing of two golden elixirs, the difference is more than ten times!

This was also one of the reasons why Luo Chen dared to release large-scale destructive spells at will, kill enemies across levels, and even challenge Yuanying Zhenren.

But now, without the second Yuandan, Luo Chen felt at a loss.

But as human beings, you have to get used to what you lose.

Since we can’t think of a way to increase quantity, let’s work on quality!
In his early years, in order to cultivate both elixirs simultaneously, his magic power seemed purer than that of ordinary Jindan cultivators, but in fact it did not reach his own extreme.

Now, we will refine it bit by bit and purify it to the state that cannot be improved!
A red golden pill is suspended in the sea of ​​qi.

Below, the withered and flourishing fire tree stretched out its branches luxuriantly, slowly burning the golden elixir.

Occasionally some tiny "impurities" are discharged, which are the magic power of other attributes.

Under this burning, the golden elixir became more and more red, like a vermilion fruit!
It can even be said that the essence of the five-colored golden elixir is gradually disappearing.

……

half year later.

In the abyss, a powerful aura flashed by.

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

There was both surprise and helplessness in his eyes.

"The ninth level of the golden elixir..."

He originally wanted to work hard on his basics, but the favorable internal and external training environment allowed him to advance to the ninth level of the Golden Core without realizing it.

This was not what he wanted, but when the time came, he had no choice but to accept it.

You can't have a higher realm and still have a dead face!
Luo Chen sighed and summoned the attribute panel.

【Shouyuan: 186/900】

[Spiritual roots: metal, wood, water, fire and earth]

[Constitution: Fire Spirit Body (Five Spirits Dao Body Hidden)]

[Realm: Golden Core Ninth Level 1/100, Ancient Fourth Level 35/100]

[Kung Fu: Grandmaster Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra 650/1000, Great Perfection of the Confluence of Ten Thousand Paths, Grandmaster Ten Thousand Beasts Sutra 510/1000]

On the rippling attribute panel, entries appear and disappear.

Luo Chen didn't look at other attributes, but only focused on the first five major entries.

The sudden increase in life expectancy was expected.

Not only did he break through the three realms, his physical body also reached the middle level of the fourth stage of the ancient times after Nirvana.

It is normal to have an extra hundred years of life.

Luo Chen even had a feeling that if he completely absorbed the power of Tai Sui in his body, the upper limit of his lifespan would skyrocket!

After taking a look, Luo Chen didn't pay any more attention to it.

For now, he no longer had to worry about his lifespan. More than 900 years old was already a long lifespan. Some Nascent Soul True Immortals who had been seriously injured only had this much lifespan. Luo Chen was only at the Golden Core stage, so why should he be in such a hurry?

Luo Chen's attention was mainly focused on the new entry.

[Constitution: Fire Spirit Body (Five Spirits Dao Body Hidden)]

He could understand the body of a fire spirit. It was the physique transformed after Nirvana in order to adapt to the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra".

But what about that (Hidden Five Spirits Dao Body)?

"Could it be that my Five Spirits Dao Body has not disappeared? It is just covered by the Fire Spirit Body and cannot be revealed?"

Luo Chen was quite puzzled.

He tried to practice the Yi Mu Yao Wang Sutra that he had practiced in his early years, but after only completing a small cycle, he felt his magic power stagnate and his meridians were slightly painful.

Obviously, this is not how the Five Spirits Dao Body should behave.

According to the records in ancient books, the Five Spirits Dao Body can practice all methods simultaneously, so how could there be such a feeling of stagnation?

But it does appear like this on the panel.

After thinking hard for a while and experimenting for a long time, I still couldn't come up with any results.

Luo Chen was unwilling to give in, but finally gave up.

His eyes moved downwards, sweeping over the changes in his realm, and Luo Chen began to pay attention to the changes in his skills.

First is the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra"!
From the initial entry into the Grandmaster level of Blazing Purgatory to the current progress bar of 650, the proficiency has increased by a full points!
Changes in the meantime...

"It must have come from that physical nirvana!"

A transformation brings not only changes to the body itself, but also changes in the practice methods.

Luo Chen could feel that his efficiency in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by practicing his innate skills was much greater than before.

Not only that, the output of mana and the casting of spells are also a point or two faster than before.

Don't underestimate this little bit of progress.

You know, most of Luo Chen's magic spells have been practiced to perfection.

What's more, on the basis of great perfection, Luo Chen has been constantly optimizing and researching, and it has reached a point where it cannot be improved.

On this basis, it was possible to make further progress. How could Luo Chen not be surprised?

"It seems that this fire spirit body is more suitable for practicing the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", and the subsequent proficiency improvement should also be greatly accelerated."

“Perhaps, I have a chance to cultivate it to the Great Perfection level before the Nascent Soul stage!”

Obviously, this is another good news that lifespan has increased dramatically, realm has been elevated, and even the Five Spiritual Dao Body is still to come.

Luo Chen smiled, then sighed inexplicably.

"Ugh……"

His gaze rested on "Ten Thousand Paths Converging".

This self-created martial art, which once absorbed the strengths of many schools, has finally reached its limit.

He had felt this way a long time ago.

The progress of body refining was getting slower and slower, so he kept seeking external methods and exchanged many ancient body refining techniques from the Demon Hunting Department of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

By patching up these things, he finally cultivated to the fourth level of the ancient times.

But, that’s where it stops.

After Penghu was promoted to the fourth level of ancient times, he clearly felt that his body had been refined to its limit!
This limit comes from "The Confluence of Ten Thousand Paths" and also from himself!

If we get to the bottom of it, it turns out that it stems from the body-refining technique called "Tian Peng Transformation"!
In the early years, Luo Chen and Wang Yuan bought "Tian Peng Change" from the black market in Dahefang.

It was a piece of animal skin, and also contained an unexpected surprise: the recipe for the "Emperor Liujiang" elixir.

But at that time, "Tian Peng Transformation" itself was an incomplete third-level skill. In order to practice it, one needed to absorb the essence and blood of the Peng bird monster into the body.

Wang Yuan did not take any, but only absorbed some advantages to improve himself.

Based on this, Luo Chen created "The Confluence of Ten Thousand Paths" in the cave of Bai Ye, a powerful incarnation, with the help of the system, when he was in danger.

Over the years, the knowledgeable Luo Chen gradually pushed this body-refining technique to the fourth level.

Then, it reached its limit.

The foundation of "Tian Peng Transformation" is too weak and it is incomplete.

The Peng bird's blood essence that Luo Chen absorbed into his body was only a second-level Fiery Cloud Peng.

The combination of the two phases helped him cultivate to the fourth level of the ancient times, which was extremely fortunate.

Without the real body of Tai Sui and the help of that wisp of Nirvana Holy Fire, Luo Chen would never have the ability to reach the middle stage of the fourth level of the ancient times.

Sighing, Luo Chen gradually calmed down.

"That's it for now!"

"The path of body training is unclear and has many branches. It can be used to ensure military strength, but it is difficult to achieve longevity."

"Giving up is impossible, but you have to seek higher-level skills in the future, or transfer or learn from them, or create your own skills."

"But right now, the most urgent task is to practice Qi Refining."

Since you have reached the ninth level of the golden elixir, you should not consider forming a baby.

But before that, Luo Chen had another small thing to do.

That is the inventory of the gains from the trip to the Land of Fallen Demons.

You can't go through life and death without knowing what you gained and lost!

With a thought, he raised his hand.

Rays of light floated in the air above the wooden house.

Looking at those treasures, Luo Chen smiled knowingly.

"This trip was not in vain."
