Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 710: The Last Light of Life, the Dragon Swallows the Dragon

There are a total of thirty-nine pill recipes kept in the Ming Zhaotian Dan Palace.

Except for the three sealed pill recipes, the remaining thirty-six recipes correspond to the three races of humans, demons and monsters, with twelve each.

The method Luo Chen used to treat the Black King was a fourth-level blood pill method from the demon clan's pill recipe.

Take the blood of all spirits, nourish the demon body, and even condense a brand new "demon pill" from nothing.

This method is very effective!

The Black King’s current state is that his physical body has collapsed and his demon pill has been shattered.

Over the years, Luo Chen checked on the Black King's condition from time to time, and everything was moving in a good direction.

But Luo Chen knew very well that these were just castles in the air.

Everything is done to nourish the Black King's soul.

If this step fails, all previous efforts will be wasted!

After coming out of the abyss and stepping out of the Bibotan, Luo Chen walked forward all the way, and Tianxuan followed closely behind him.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen paused slightly and looked towards a rare towering mountain on Longyuan Island.

There, an old man in a green robe sat alone on the cliff, watching the clouds roll and the tides rise and fall.

It’s Han Zhan!
"Has he been there recently?" Luo Chen asked.

Tian Xuan replied in a low voice, "Master Han has been in and out frequently in recent years. He said that he was adapting to his new body and needed to move around frequently. That Xiaqiu Mountain is where he often stays alone. Speaking of which, Master Han has a very good temperament and has given me some advice on cultivation several times."

"Is this so..."

Luo Chen muttered something and changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, I have been immersed in cultivation these years and have not paid much attention to your cultivation."

Tianxuan shook his head. "Master, you helped me transform early, created a technique for me, and gave me the opportunity to soak in the Holy Spring. You have already done a lot. How can I bother you with some daily practice?"

When it comes to soaking in the Holy Soul-Shaping Spring, Luo Chen becomes interested.

"After soaking in that spring water, have you experienced any changes in your body?"

Tian Xuan was refreshed and said excitedly, "There have been great changes. My daily practice speed has increased by more than double compared to before! Moreover, my talent in controlling the wind is fully revealed. In the words of Master Han, I seem to have fully tapped the potential of my spiritual roots, and combined with my demon body, I vaguely possess the characteristics of the so-called Xunfeng body."

"Xunfeng Body?"

"Yes, although it is incomplete, my power to control the wind attribute has indeed been greatly enhanced. I have now mastered the Huanyu Secret Book and have reached the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm!"

Luo Chen nodded slightly, "This is a good thing. I didn't waste that opportunity."

Ninety percent of the Holy Soul-Shaping Spring in the Dan Palace was absorbed by Luo Chen.

The remaining 10% may seem scarce, but for Tianxuan and Heiwang, it is definitely a great fortune.

Tianxuan’s realm growth was expected.

It's just that the Black King...

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at their destination.

Tianxuan's previous joy had long since dissipated.

Luo Chen's face also showed a bit of solemnity.

Blood pool...it's actually not appropriate to call it a blood pool anymore.

The originally deep red blood has now turned clear and bright.

The blood essence and power of countless monsters have been absorbed into the Black King's body!
If you count carefully, there are millions of low-level dragon earthworms in one pool on the entire Longyuan Island, plus some third-level demon kings that Tianxuan has hunted and captured over the years, and finally there is the drop of blood from the tip of his tongue that Luo Chen gave with great pain.

Such a huge force restored the Black King's body to its peak state.

In fact, it is still much stronger than in its heyday.

"That one drop of my blood essence is so powerful!"

Luo Chen murmured.

He could feel that the main reason for the huge change in the Black King was the drop of blood on the tip of his tongue.

It not only contains his source power, but also contains a lot of Tai Sui's terrifying vitality.

"Yes, I never thought that you could actually restore the Black King's body to its original state!"

At some point, Han Zhan had descended from Xiaqiu Mountain and arrived at the Longyuan Blood Pool.

Luo Chen was not surprised. Since he could find Han Zhan, the other party would naturally see him as well.

Looking at the figure squatting like a hill in the blood pool, it looked like a dragon or a python, with a single horn flashing with faint light.

Luo Chen sighed, "Unfortunately, this is all I can do. Whether the Black King can survive depends on his own luck."

In his perception, the Black King's soul was indeed reviving.

That was a sign that the wild beast cliff snake's sleeping method had reached its limit!

After all, what the Black King devoured was just the corpse of a cliff snake that failed to advance to the fourth level. He was extremely lucky to have learned a method of dormancy from the other party's remains to preserve himself.

But fortunately, after holding on for ten years, it finally came to an end.

A faint spiritual fluctuation slowly emanated from the Black King's body.

"Master...Master..."

Luo Chen gathered all his strength to avoid endangering the Black King's soul, which was as weak as that of an infant.

He said in a deep voice: "I have restored your body. Even if your demon core is broken, I can temporarily replace it with a blood core. You just need to get through this period of time and let your soul grow stronger and stronger. Can you do it?"

The so-called essence nourishes the spiritual roots and qi nourishes the spirit!

All that Luo Chen did was to provide the Black King with a perfect environment for his soul to revive.

however……

"Sorry, I'm afraid Xiao Hei won't be able to survive... this time." The Black King's voice was intermittent, like a candle in the wind, shaky and about to fall.

His spiritual aura is constantly disappearing.

Han Zhan at the side sighed, "The power of the self-detonation of the Liantian Cauldron is not something that a Golden Core Demon King can withstand. The body of Moyun Cave Master was turned into dust on the spot, and his soul was even more shattered. The Black King is lucky to have held on until now."

Luo Chen was silent.

Although he had said with great confidence before that he had a way to save the Black King, it was obvious that he could only do this much.

I have done everything I can.

But it was still emotionally difficult to accept watching the Black King pass away in front of him.

The Black King himself is just an ordinary black-scaled python among countless monsters.

It was cultivated with secret methods by a foundation-building monk from the Feiyan Islands and became the weakest dragon.

It can be said that when the Black King achieved the third level, its life was over.

But fortunately, the Black King met himself.

A large amount of Emperor's fluid was poured into him, which opened up his bloodline inheritance and gave him the magic of devouring demons. Over the past few decades, he was given a lot of meat and blood, elixirs, and cliff snake corpses for him to digest.

Although his path was not as inclined towards the orthodox human race as Tianxuan's, he also had a solid foundation and gradually reached the level of a great demon king in the late third stage.

In particular, he also soaked in the Holy Soul-Shaping Spring!

If it weren't for the incident in Dan Palace, Black King would have had a bright future. It would not be impossible for him to ride on clouds and turn into a dragon one day.

Luo Chen regrets that the Black King cannot touch his future.

I also feel sorry for the loyalty shown by the other party who forcibly protected me without the suppression of the slave seal.

Now, he had to wait for the Black King's soul to dissipate bit by bit. Luo Chen felt heavy in his heart and unbearable.

Tianxuan could no longer hold back and started shouting.

"Old Black, you must hold on! Master, didn't you have a medicine that can strengthen the soul? Can you give it to Old Black?"

Luo Chen shook his head.

The quality of Tongyou Pill is too low, and it is just a drop in the bucket for the Black King now.

If he could refine the one that could strengthen the soul among the three fourth-grade human pill recipes left by Demon Lord Liantian, there might be a chance.

But only a little.

Luo Chen was in very short supply of the medicinal materials needed for that kind of elixir, unless he went to the outside world and spent a lot of effort to collect them.

But he has a powerful enemy like Yue Sanren by his side, and he is about to give birth to his infant, so how can he show off everywhere?

What's more, the medicinal properties of the fourth-level elixir are too strong, and the current Black King may not be able to withstand it.

"Tianxuan, don't feel sad for me. When I'm gone...you have to practice hard and serve your master."

Tianxuan's lips trembled and his voice was choked.

"I will."

In the pool of blood, the dragon's eyes were still closed.

But the Black King's voice was still coming out slowly.

"Master, do you remember a little favor I once asked of you?"

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, and kept thinking about what happened.

Thinking back on this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed that he didn't remember it for a moment.

However, the Black King did not ask him for help seriously many times, and Luo Chen finally remembered it.

"Refining treasure?"

He quickly responded, "You mean, to make a protective magic weapon for the little girl from the Zhang family?"

"Yeah." The Black King responded weakly.

That's true! The Black King took pity on the poor little girl from the Zhang family, so he gave the undigested cliff snake skin membrane to Luo Chen and asked him to refine a protective magic weapon for the little girl.

Luo Chen still remembers that the little girl's name was Zhang Jingqing.

This was a name Zhang Jidi specially chose in order to please Luo Chen.

Luo Chen said solemnly: "If I have the chance, I will definitely fulfill this promise and give the gift to Xiaoqing."

"Ha ha……"

The Black King's spirit and soul began to fluctuate with rare joy.

"Finally, Xiao Hei wishes the master a prosperous immortal path and a successful Nascent Soul!"

After saying this, the fluctuations in his soul began to disappear rapidly.

It seems that the moment of waking up is the moment of death.

Luo Chen tensed his face and shifted his gaze to the old man in green robe.

"senior!"

Han Zhan waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me. Although I am known to be proficient in the method of refining the spirit, I don't have such a heaven-defying ability..."

Hearing this, Luo Chen also felt regretful.

However, he found that Han Zhan's words became hesitant.

In an instant, Luo Chen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and stared at the other party with burning eyes.

Han Zhan frowned, sometimes looking at the Black King, sometimes looking at Luo Chen.

Finally, he whispered, "If you are willing, I do have a way to save the situation."

"Tell me about it!" Luo Chen cheered up!
Han Zhan stroked his chin, as if recalling the past.

"Back then, my good friend Canglong failed to survive the tribulation, and his soul was struck by the extremely strong and masculine force of thunder, causing him to suffer severe injuries."

"Later, her body was sealed in a mysterious ice coffin by the Ice Castle Sect, waiting for a way to rescue her."

"In my spare time, I have studied this condition. There is a cure, but I have never tried it."

"Come to think of it, Black King's current situation is somewhat similar to Cang Long's. That method may be useful to him."

Luo Chen suppressed his patience and listened carefully.

Han Zhan explained the story in detail and how the method worked.

If the soul is hurt, then heal it!
If the soul is deficient, the origin of the soul must be replenished!

But the injured person has lost the ability to strengthen himself and restore his soul, so he needs external strength to supplement himself.

"External force...pills?" Luo Chen frowned.

Han Zhan shook his head. "This kind of elixir is rare in the world. But you have something that is better than all the magic elixirs!"

"What is it?"

"The remnant soul of the stone dragon!"

In just a moment, Luo Chen's expression changed.

Han Zhan chuckled, "You and I have both seen the remnant soul of the stone dragon. It has no intelligence and is pure and spiritual, as if it was created naturally by heaven and earth. This remnant soul is definitely the purest source of soul power. I just thought about it. If I use stimulation to make the Black King regain his vitality and reach his peak state, and then let him use his innate magic to devour this remnant soul, do you think there is a chance to bring him back to life?"

Devouring other people's souls is an extremely dangerous thing.

But the Black King is different. His innate magic is open to all and might have miraculous effects.

But in this way, Luo Chen would lose a soul that had once reached the fifth level.

That was the foundation he wanted to use to cultivate his spiritual veins after forming his infant, in preparation for practicing at a higher level in the future!
No wonder Han Zhan said that it depends on whether you are willing to give it up?

Seeing Luo Chen's uncertain expression, Han Zhan said seriously, "I must remind you that I have never tried this method before, so it may not succeed. If it fails, not only will the Black King still die, but the remnant soul of the stone dragon that you snatched from the Quicksand Sea will also dissipate."

"You'd better think it over carefully!"

What else can you consider?

Even though Luo Chen admits that he is selfish, this selfishness is beyond his ability.

Now, he does have that power.

What's more, the Black King was loyal to him, and he had paid a lot of sunk costs on the Black King.

It is still unknown whether the remaining soul of the stone dragon can cultivate a fifth-level spiritual vein in the future.

At this moment, there is no need to hesitate any longer.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and took out the white soul-calling flag.

"Senior, please!"

Han Zhan looked at Luo Chen approvingly, then took the soul flag.

With a wave of his hand, the restrictions set by Luo Chen were shattered one after another.

"out!"

In an instant, a huge dragon head, half illusory and half solid, emerged from it.

Han Zhan looked serious, and kept making hand seals with his hands. Strands of faint light flew out from between his eyebrows, and finally condensed into a seal with ancient patterns.

He lightly tapped his fingertips, and the seal fell into the center of the Black King's eyebrows.

The dim light gradually sank, and the Black King's extremely weak spiritual fluctuations began to expand wildly at this moment.

Resurgence?

No, it's a last hurrah!
"You come out too!"

Han Zhan let out a low cry and reached out to pull.

An illusory black shadow flew out from the Black King's head.

It was the soul of a dragon python that was only half a meter in size.

At this time, the Black King still looked extremely confused.

Han Zhan's lips trembled slightly, and the sound of his soul came out.

The next moment, the Black King seemed to have received an order, and his spiritual light shone brightly, and he roared at the huge dragon head.

One is a python and the other is a stone dragon.

Two illusory souls roared wildly as the dragon python opened its mouth, and a terrifying devouring force spread.

On Longyuan Island, winds and clouds gathered, and all living things were frightened.

Even though the stone dragon's remnant soul had lost its intelligence, it was still trying to break free from the devouring power driven by instinct.

But Han Zhan held the soul-summoning flag and used a spiritual spell from time to time to suppress it and help the Black King devour it.

It was visible to the naked eye that strands of tiny bits of power on its body were being devoured by the Black King.

Tianxuan looked at the scene in astonishment.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, memorized the seals performed by Han Zhan bit by bit, and responded to Tian Xuan at the same time.

"This is your last chance. Whether you can survive depends on Black King's own ability."

……

This battle of the dragon swallowing the python lasted for half a month.

Above Longyuan Island, the two shadows had reversed their roles, and the Black King's spirit had become a hundred feet long.

The remaining soul of the stone dragon became smaller instead.

Half a month later, Han Zhan's face was pale, but his eyes were bright.

"It's done, today!"

As if he heard Han Zhan's shout, the Black King roared, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the last bit of the stone dragon's soul into his mouth.

Then, he shook it in the air and drilled into the body.

"Black King!" Tianxuan shouted.

Han Zhan smiled slightly and said, "There is still some finishing work to do. Wait a moment."

He made hand gestures frequently, and rays of faint light flew out from the Black King and gathered towards Han Zhan.

One, two, three... seven in total.

After the seven dim lights flew back, two vertical eyes like lanterns slowly opened.

His eyes were cold, filled with calmness and even strangeness.

Luo Chen took a step forward, frowning slightly.

Before he could open his mouth, the Black King roared in a low voice, and his body suddenly grew larger, breaking through the suppression of the formation, and continued to expand from his previous ten-foot body.

In the blink of an eye, a huge black one-horned dragon, a hundred feet long, appeared and hovered in the void.

He looked at Luo Chen deeply, then nodded his dragon head towards Han Zhan as if to thank him, then shook his head and tail and flew into the sea.

"This..." Luo Chen was a little slow to react.

Han Zhan let out a long sigh, stood up, and said with a smile: "It should be considered a success. However, the power of the stone dragon's residual soul is too huge, and the Black King's intelligence has been greatly impacted. It will take a long time to gather his intelligence. Now, he only remembers us, and more memories are still being recovered."

Is that so?
Tianxuan showed an ecstatic smile, "The Black King is rescued!"

Luo Chen nodded and smiled, "All the separations we had before were in vain. But as long as we are alive, it's good to be alive."

As he murmured, Luo Chen felt relieved.

Then, I can prepare everything needed to form a baby without any worries.

And the first thing is to refine the Infant-forming Pill!
