Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 717: Erzhen Relics, Sword Formation Reappears (asking for monthly tickets!)

The main ingredient of the Great Soul Pill is a rare resource, but not uncommon.

In fact, Luo Chen had obtained it before.

Its name is Soul Essence!

All living beings have three souls and seven souls.

It is invisible and intangible, without form and without breath.

Only when the realm is advanced and the soul is condensed into substance can it be revealed.

The so-called ghost generals and ghost kings appear to have solid bodies, but in fact most of them are filled with yin energy.

The monks of ancient and modern times are extremely intelligent. They use secret techniques to extract the essence from the vast amount of illusory souls, forming the so-called soul essence.

Rumor has it that this kind of soul essence is a rare and precious resource!
Taking it in conjunction with secret techniques can greatly increase the monk's spiritual foundation.

At the same time, if someone refines the soul essence and turns it into an attack method, its power will far exceed that of ordinary soul attack techniques.

The soul essence that Luo Chen obtained that time came from the assessment mission of the Monster Hunter of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. Duan Li was injured by a killing move of the remnants of the Yuanmo Sect's Soul Refining Lineage. After he cured Duan Li's injury, the soul essence was obtained by Luo Chen.

Later, Luo Chen also relied on those soul essences to figure out the effects of the Dragon Slaying Technique in slaying gods and breaking souls.

It was also that incident that laid the foundation for the battle in the sea of ​​consciousness ten years ago, in which he personally killed Han Zhan.

Now, after many twists and turns, in order to practice Han Zhan's "Soul-Splitting Technique", he has to collect a large amount of soul essence to refine the Great Soul Pill. It's a bit of fate.

Thinking of Duan Li, Luo Chen's expression darkened. He didn't know what the other party was doing in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, and whether he had been implicated.

He shook his head and looked at the recipe, thinking carefully.

As mentioned before, the thirty-six elixir recipes left behind by Demon Lord Liantian are not aimed at powerful medicinal properties, but universality.

Therefore, Luo Chen had heard of most of the medicinal herbs mentioned above.

There are a few that I don’t recognize, and some that I have a vague impression of. It’s probably because the medicinal materials have been renamed over a long period of time.

It's not difficult to collect them if you really take the time to do so.

Only this soul essence...

"Among the five continents in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the ones that produce the most soul essence are the North Sea Cultivation Realm and the Southern Border Cultivation Realm. In the North Sea, because of the relationship with the Yuan Mo Sect, cultivators are encouraged to hunt down countless monsters in the North Sea and use their flesh, blood and souls to practice the magic skills of the Demon Sect."

"Soul essence is what the soul refining lineage needs most."

"In the past, even if there were people in the North Sea Immortal Cultivation World who refined a large amount of soul essence, the trading channels were basically controlled by the Yuan Mo Sect. Now that the Mo Sect has been destroyed, I don't know where those soul essences have gone?"

After thinking for a while, Luo Chen carefully put away the recipe.

After returning to the human world of cultivation, I will have to spend some time to find out more.

Then he looked at the attribute panel again.

Unlike the previous mixed panel catalog, this time there are further subdivisions.

Soul magic was separated from spells and listed in a separate column.

Among them, the techniques of soul-shocking, soul-confusing, and even mirror flowers and water moons are all prominently listed.

Overall, the number is small and far outweighed by the dazzling array of spells and physical skills, which also shows Luo Chen's deficiency in the soul.

After a cultivator has formed his Nascent Soul, the physical body is actually no longer that important. In the eyes of some extreme people, the physical body is now just a bamboo raft for crossing the sea, blocking the erosion and fusion of the outside world for the weak Nascent Soul.

What is important is the law and soul!

The symbol of Dharma is the primordial infant, and the manifestation of soul is the spirit.

If the physical body is destroyed, a Nascent Soul cultivator can still survive.

If the Nascent Soul is destroyed, the remaining soul will be close to death.

If the soul is destroyed, then life will be complete.

At this moment, the importance of the soul is brought to the forefront!
Luo Chen's lack of attainments in the soul has become his shortcoming, which is why he forced himself to practice the Soul-Splitting Technique even though he knew it was incomplete.

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and do things one step at a time. It will take time to make up for the shortcomings in the soul. Moreover, most Yuanying cultivators have shortcomings in the soul, and there is nothing they can do about it. Before that, I must have enough power to protect myself!"

Luo Chen muttered to himself while also calculating his current approach.

These are not the ordinary means used in the past, but powerful means that can compete with or even threaten the existence of the same level.

The most outstanding thing is obviously his superiority in physical training.

The physique of a wild beast in the middle stage of the fourth order is enough to match some weaklings in the third stage of the Nascent Soul or even the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

These physical skills, combined with high-speed movement and source power support, are very threatening.

So, there is one hole card.

Then, it is the methods of refining Qi to become an immortal.

Looking at those spells, Luo Chen felt helpless.

The magic spells that I was most proud of in the past, now seemed to be a little stretched.

The Dragon-Slaying Technique is actually an auxiliary spell, and the soul-killing methods derived from it are only limited to the sea of ​​consciousness.

The Yuandan technique is more of a secret technique for cultivating the second Yuandan or even the second Yuanying than a magic spell. Without the second Yuandan, it cannot be used against the enemy at all.

Therefore, we can only optimize the old methods.

Now that my realm has reached a higher level, the principles of some of my previous low-level spells have become simpler, and it is not difficult to increase their power.

Like the Qingyang Handprint, Luo Chen had some ideas in his mind.

But those ideas, even if realized, can only be used as conventional means of fighting the enemy.

"Regular ones are good too, the more the better."

“But this Senluo Fire Prison seems to have become useless after I have a true Nascent Soul Realm, but it seems to have some merits?”

Luo Chen recalled the time when he was forming his Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul escaped from his physical body and for a moment in the void, heaven and earth merged.

At that moment, he seemed to be able to catch something, but missed it.

He now understood what he had missed.

It is an opportunity to comprehend the laws!

The soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator is too weak to be in harmony with the world for a long time. Therefore, even if such an opportunity exists, it is rare for it to be maintained long enough for them to fully comprehend the laws that suit them.

He had no regrets. After all, there were almost no people throughout history who could comprehend the laws in the early stage of Nascent Soul. The fact that he had such an opportunity showed his talent.

Instead, he was somewhat happy.

Because at that moment, he had a preliminary understanding of the world.

"If I erase the main effect of Senluo Fire Prison that restricts the enemy, and mainly extract the second form to bless myself, and then combine it with the Nascent Soul Realm, will it change my strength?"

The main effect of the Senluo Fire Prison is to cause the Jindan monks' magic power to become restless, so that they cannot fight as they wish.

This effect is totally inadequate in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

And the second form is the true fire form!
Luo Chen had learned it from the battle, and with the help of the True Fire of Withering and Flourishing, his body was blessed with the True Flame in his every move.

What Luo Chen is thinking about now is to integrate the Nascent Soul realm into it on the basis of the True Fire State.

"There is still some time before Longyuan Island is destroyed. Try to figure out this trick before leaving."

Luo Chen made this plan.

Then take stock of your other methods.

The true fire of withering and flourishing must not be ignored.

The reason why Luo Chen had such high expectations for the new trick was largely due to the Withering and Flourishing True Fire.

This fire is already spiritual, and releasing it alone can be considered a deadly move.

If you integrate it into yourself, you will definitely become stronger with every move you make!
Finally, it is the natal magic weapon Hunyuan Ding.

Ten years later, the Hunyuan Ding became silent again, as if it had completely digested the power of the thunder.

But Luo Chen can still activate and even actively stimulate the power of thunder.

This is definitely a killer move!
If one releases the power of thunder without hesitation, perhaps another heavenly thunder punishment may occur. How can a Nascent Soul cultivator resist it?

After some calculations, Luo Chen's confidence was greatly boosted.

Although he had no master, he had just achieved the Nascent Soul stage, so he was not that weak and still had some skills.

Moreover, he has other ways to supplement his means.

After closing the attribute panel, Luo Chen waved his hand and several rays of light fell in front of him.

Storage bag, white jade cloud pattern belt, Penglai octagonal pavilion, soul-calling banner.

As for the first two, he had gradually unlocked many restrictions during the ten years of consolidating his realm, and he was not far from completely unlocking it.

As the relics of the two great masters, there might be something in them that Luo Chen could use.

He had not been able to refine the last two items before, but now that his Nascent Soul had stabilized, he could try to refine and master them.

"take it easy!"

……

Time passes little by little.

Luo Chen's movements were getting faster and faster.

The first method to be completed is to optimize the Qingyang Great Handprint!
When he was in the Jindan stage, the powerful spells that made him famous had already been optimized to the point where they could not be made any stronger.

But now, with a high-level perspective, and with his Nascent Soul stage realm and knowledge, he has new ideas.

This day.

Above the boundless ocean, Luo Chen was suspended in the void.

Suddenly.

He pushed out with his right hand, which was behind his back.

A huge handprint fell on the sea, creating endless waves and leaving five deeply sunken fingerprints on the sea surface. The Black King in the distance saw this scene and did not take it seriously.

The master's move was a little more powerful than when he was at the Golden Core stage, but it was just that powerful. He felt that he could withstand it with his physical body.

Luo Chen stood quietly in the void, his expression neither sad nor happy, but his hands started moving again.

This time, it was not the right hand, but both hands that moved. The ten fingers flew like butterflies and the seals changed like rain.

At first glance, the Black King vaguely realized that these were two sets of spells.

One should be the innate seal of the original innate qi big seal of Qingyang big seal.

The other made him feel extremely uncomfortable both physically and spiritually, as if it was filled with the smell of slavery.

"It's the Spirit Seal!"

The Black King was shocked.

He was definitely not mistaken. This was the Soul-Subjugating Seal used by cultivators to enslave spirit beasts. If it was used continuously, it would gradually enslave the soul of the monster beast.

You must know that low-level monsters cannot give up their soul blood. If you want to enslave their souls, you can only rely on a combination of spells and elixirs to infect them over time.

And what the master's left hand is performing now is definitely the Soul-Serving Seal that he hates so much!
"Master, you are making two seals at the same time. What are you trying to do?"

While the Black King was confused, Luo Chen's power accumulation ended in an instant.

Put your hands together, turn your right wrist, raise your palm and slowly push out.

A transparent handprint the size of a palm slowly flew out, its power not evident.

But after the transparent handprint flew out, its speed became faster and faster, and its size became larger and larger.

The main reason for the expansion of its size was that countless free and ownerless spiritual energy between heaven and earth were converging towards the handprint.

One zhang, ten zhang, a hundred zhang, and even a thousand zhang, and he still didn't stop!
boom!
A huge handprint fell into the sea, rolling forward, spanning 800 miles!

Endless seawater evaporated, and a terrifying avenue to heaven emerged from the boundless sea. At the bottom of the passage, the seabed was bare, with hills and deep valleys. On both sides of the passage, the seawater was high in the sky, and huge waves were rolling, but they could not fall.

This scene is shocking.

The Black King swallowed his saliva, unable to imagine what would happen if this move hit him or the land.

Faintly, the Black King understood the principle behind Luo Chen's move.

Based on the Xiantian Seal, the Lingyin Seal enslaves the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, allowing the originally mediocre Qingyang Handprint to break through its upper limit.

Qingyang's big handprint, sweeping across eight hundred miles!
The slight arrogance brought about by breaking through the fourth level was completely wiped out in front of Luo Chen's palm.

Luo Chen still stood in the void, watching the remaining power of Qingyang's handprint lingering, and the boundless sea water rolling over the avenue to the sky, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

It is really a source of pride to be able to break through the upper limit of a spell that originally only had three levels, and not rely on the attribute panel.

Sure enough, his talent in magic was beyond doubt.

After taking a look at the Black King, Luo Chen waved his hand and went back to the Earth Abyss.

Three days later, good luck comes again.

He completely removed the restrictions on Han Zhan's storage bag.

This speed is somewhat unexpected, but not surprising.

Because the storage bag itself was not of high grade, Han Zhan did not spend much effort to leave a mark, and Luo Chen absorbed his soul fragments, so it went so smoothly.

Opening the storage bag, Luo Chen took out the things inside one after another.

A Ten Thousand Souls Banner and a set of Seven Evil Swords, this is not surprising, as they were originally Luo Chen's things.

He didn't take it seriously. These things had become useless to him now.

Next, it was the spirit stone.

Luo Chen held the diamond-shaped crystal in his hand and was stunned for a moment.

It’s colorful and golden!
what does this mean?
The best spiritual stone!

Still ten dollars!

Where did Han Zhan get ten pieces of top-grade gold-attributed spirit stones?

Then, he suddenly realized.

"It should be what he gained in the puppet world!"

"I saw a few grooves on the white tiger puppet before, which were obviously used to store spirit stones. Ordinary spirit stones cannot activate such a high-level puppet. Obviously, these top-grade spirit stones are the source of energy."

"What an unexpected surprise! What an unexpected surprise!"

Luo Chen put away the ten golden-attribute top-grade spirit stones with a smile on his face.

Then, he took out the last item from the storage bag.

It was a wooden sign.

A wooden plaque made from the soul-nourishing tree.

Holding the wooden sign, Luo Chen shook his head. There were no remaining souls around him, so the wooden sign was of no use.

Keep it for now, it might be useful in the future.

Just when Luo Chen was about to put it away, his consciousness suddenly paused.

I scanned it carefully, and some of the information engraved on the wooden sign flowed into my mind.

After finishing reading, Luo Chen's face showed a look of surprise and joy.

Inside, there was a record of a sword formation!
Its name, Great Five Elements Sword Formation!

Han Zhan originally obtained Luo Chen's Seven Evil Swords. In order to explore the Land of Fallen Demons, he deduced a sword formation that could control the Seven Evil Swords without the original Seven Evil Sword Formation.

This was something Luo Chen had known for a long time. Even the Soul Heaven Sword Box was made by Han Zhan at his request.

But what he didn't know was the process.

Han Zhan knew a set of Liang Yi and Wu Xing sword formation in his early years, and he used this as a blueprint to derive the Qi Sha sword formation.

After deducing the Seven Evils Sword Formation, he was inspired and began to improve the early Liang Yi Five Elements Sword Formation, and finally came up with this brand new Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

As mentioned above, if this sword formation can be formed, its power will be infinite and no less powerful than the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Sword Formation.

Luo Chen has always been jealous of the sword formation.

The flying sword has always been the most commonly used magic weapon by cultivators. It is convenient, fast, and powerful.

Formation is a synonym for powerful.

When the two are combined into one, they can be activated at any time, making people feel unmatched.

Why did Han Zhan dare to challenge the long-established Jade Ding Zhenren with the strength of just entering the Nascent Soul stage in his early years, and why did he dare to initiate a war to fight against the Proud Demon Emperor? Wasn't it because of the sword formation created for him by the whole sect?
In the Land of Fallen Demons, Luo Chen also had a tough battle with Fei Yunzi's sword formation.

If he had not relied on his own body to enter the formation and lure Fei Yunzi closer, he would have been seriously injured if not killed under the platinum sword formation.

It can be said that any sword formation with a name is what countless weak cultivators dream of.

Luo Chen is not weak, but he doesn't mind having one more killing move.

In particular, he lacks the means now.

But after carefully studying the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, Luo Chen's expression calmed down.

Without him!

This sword formation was optimized by Han Zhan. It is more powerful than before and has higher requirements.

To form this sword formation, the five sword puppets were discarded, but instead, five sword balls of real weapon level were needed, and they had to be of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

In this way, sending and receiving can be done more freely, and the power can be more concentrated, especially without the weakness of puppet swordsmanship.

"This should be a self-protection measure he took for the future when he has a physical body."

"But where can I find a Five Elements Sword Pill of the real weapon level?"

Luo Chen could only smile bitterly.

Jianwan!

Real artifact level!
Still divided into five elements!

I'm afraid that even the Yuding Sword Sect at its peak couldn't produce so many sword pills!

With a wry smile, Luo Chen had no choice but to put away the soul-nourishing wooden sign.

He began to concentrate on refining the Penglai Octagonal Pavilion and Fei Yunzi's belt.

……

Three years later.

Luo Chen looked at the dazzling light that burst out on the ground, holding a jade slip in one hand and a golden pill in the other, with a dazed expression.

On the jade slip, a faint light appeared, and its name was "Feiyun Weapon Refining Record".

It records the life-long experience of Fei Yunzi, a master weapon refiner.

But none of this matters.

What’s important is that at the end of this weapon refining book, the method of refining sword pills of the true weapon level is recorded!
In addition to being a weapon refiner, Fei Yunzi is also a powerful orthodox swordsman.

And if you look closely at the golden pill, you can see golden threads wriggling inside it under the complicated restrictions.

This is an unrefined golden sword ball!
Its grade has actually reached the level of a real weapon!

If he had only harvested these, Luo Chen would not have lost his composure like this.

But if we combine it with the Great Five Elements Sword Formation that we obtained three years ago, there are such coincidences in the world...

"Can this be considered a blessing in disguise?"

While muttering to himself, Luo Chen looked down at the two objects in his hands, with indescribable complex emotions in his eyes.
