Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 737: Eastern Wilderness Secrets, Ghostly Immortal Ring

Neither the spying of the Mermaid Emperor Liujun nor the brutal battle between the Nascent Souls had ever made Luo Chen lose his composure like this.

Even the sudden appearance of the great incarnation master Li Canghai was understandable because of the private relationship between Ji Hanzi and Li Canghai in their early years as people said.

However, Li Canghai's casual action of taking the Bingpo Lingshan with the small seal with a vague pattern of mountains and seas made Luo Chen feel uneasy until now.

Among the Nascent Soul cultivators, Luo Chen is far from being ranked when it comes to formations.

Even if he could set up some fourth-order formations now, he still needed a complete formation diagram, enough preparation time, and the right time and place to arrange them calmly.

However, Luo Chen's foundation in formations is extremely solid!
He believed that his foundation in formation was among the best among his peers.

Start learning the theoretical knowledge of formations in the foundation-building period, and officially start in the early stage of golden elixir.

Whether it was the seven basic prohibitions of the formation or the theory of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, he was familiar with them.

There is also personal teaching from Min Longyu, Han Zhan and others.

The most important thing is that the foundation is often made up of proficiency. With the support of the system, his solid foundation in formation becomes a matter of course.

Because of this foundation, when faced with some less complicated formations, one can often go from easy to difficult, simplifying the complex, and quickly understand and get started.

He once obtained a set of the method of connecting islands.

After studying it, I feel that this formation is quite innovative. Its protective power is secondary. The essence of it lies in connecting the energy of the heaven and earth and the earth's veins.

For this reason, he once had the idea of ​​returning to the Eastern Wasteland and searching for the Five Peaks Covering Valley technique in Qingdan Valley, as well as the mountain-moving technique of the Golden Dan Elder of the Medicine King Sect, and combining this set of formations to build a blessed place for cultivation for his own sect.

But at that moment, all his thoughts were overturned.

The move that Li Canghai used to take Bingpo Lingshan was definitely not some kind of incarnation method or some great magical power!
Other Yuanying Zhenren may be misled, but the most basic principles of formations will not deceive oneself.

That is the most basic formation!
The formation hidden behind the powerful means!
He saw it very clearly. At that moment, a large number of restrictions emerged from the Mountain and Sea Seal, echoing with the Bingpo Spirit Mountain. Among them, the mountain bans, water bans, and sky bans were the most intense.

It was precisely because of the response of the formation that the complete Ice Soul Spirit Mountain was pulled out without any damage, allowing it to be perfectly integrated into the Mountain and Sea Seal.

When he realized this moment, Luo Chen's whole body began to tremble.

There is fear and awe, but also inexplicable excitement and anticipation.

"The method of connecting islands to form a formation has been popular in the North Sea's immortal cultivation world for two hundred years. All the larger human territories have this formation arrangement."

"There are probably many people like me who think they are smart and have seen through the effects of the first level of defense. The most powerful one is the effect of the nurturing spirit land."

"After a long period of evolution, this formation has almost been integrated with the various spiritual places in the North Sea."

"If Li Canghai has evil intentions and incorporates every spiritual place into the Mountain and Sea Seal like he did just now..."

As he muttered to himself, Luo Chen's trembling gradually stopped.

Obviously, there is no if, Li Canghai has clearly already had evil intentions!

It can even be said that when this formation was passed down from his hands, it had already laid the seeds for today's events.

Otherwise, how could the formation of a great and powerful god be easily learned by the hostile force, the Moluo Liu?
In the Molan Court, the restrained method of connecting islands to form a formation could not deceive people.

You know, that is the lair of the Blood Nightmare Demon Luo, the nominal banner of the Demon Luo Clan!
There is a similar formation set up there too!

"Spreading the message across the North Sea, and incorporating all spiritual lands into the treasure seal, Li Canghai wants to integrate all the spiritual mountains and seas in the North Sea's immortal cultivation world into the magic weapon and cultivate a spiritual treasure."

In the end, Luo Chen came to this incredible conclusion.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the spiritual treasures in the Fallen Demon Land look worthless.

But that’s because the Land of Fallen Demons is the palace of Lord Liantian Demon, a master weapon refiner at the Lianxu realm.

In fact, before Luo Chen set foot in the Land of Fallen Demons, he had never heard of the name of any powerful spiritual treasure.

The closest thing to a magical treasure is the Yuantu Blood Sword in his hand.

What is Lingbao?

Only a magical weapon that has developed self-awareness, absorbs and exhales the vital energy of heaven and earth, and even contains the true meaning of the laws, is a spiritual treasure.

If we only look at the latter part of this description, doesn’t it look like a certain realm?
Yes, the great power of transformation!

The powerful spiritual treasure itself is an existence corresponding to the realm of transformation.

It is already extremely difficult for a cultivator to achieve the state of god transformation, so where would they get so much energy to cultivate another "god-transforming being"?

Therefore, in such a vast world of mountains and seas, there are very few famous spiritual treasures.

Even if there is, it will only exist within the five holy places.

Now, Li Canghai was going to do something extremely unethical and refine all the famous caves and blessed places in the North Sea's immortal cultivation world into one seal to achieve the power of a spiritual treasure.

If this really succeeded, Luo Chen didn't know how powerful the Mountain and Sea Seal would be, but the North Sea's immortal cultivation world would probably fall into decline, and there would no longer be a spiritual place suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators to practice.

"Ugh……"

A sigh was heard, and Luo Chen's excitement finally turned into a sigh of emotion.

Even if I could vaguely understand Li Canghai's purpose, what would be the use?

You can neither reveal it to others nor make any profit from it.

I can only keep this secret in my heart.

However, he inadvertently had a similar thought.

"If I achieve divine enlightenment one day, and the timing is right, will I be unable to resist imitating Li Canghai's actions?"

The answer is unknown.

……

The Sword continued to move forward.

This time, without the monster army following them, the journey was smooth and they were getting closer and closer to the Sun and Moon Island.

The cultivators on the ship who were at a lower level were unable to personally witness the battle with the Bingji Sect. They could only learn what had happened from the sword and halberd extras of the monster Chen Bing and the oral accounts of their elders.

A generation of top Nascent Soul sect, all disappeared.

High-level monks, however, are gathering more and more frequently.

On the second day, in the Bichao Palace where Fu Chaosheng was, there was a heated discussion about the battle with the Bingji Sect.

There are seven Yuanying True Immortals in total, the only one missing is Luo Chen.

But as the door opened, everyone looked over and saw the last missing real person enter the hall in person.

"The deserted man, Luo Chen!"

Fu Chaosheng gave a brief introduction.

Luo Chen nodded to everyone and sat down calmly.

Afterwards, he acted as an observer and enthusiastically discussed yesterday's battle.

"Even an old monster from ancient times like the demon monk Kong Chan has appeared. It seems that the monsters of the North Sea are determined to counterattack our human territory!"

"Now that the Wuyuan Demon Sect is suppressing the North Sea, and that Li Da Neng is not in charge of the affairs, the North Sea is in danger!"

"Don't you have any idea about this matter?"

The so-called noble sect is nothing more than the Tianyuan Taoist Sect.

In response, Fu Chaosheng smiled but said nothing.

The crowd couldn't tell anything from the smile that always appeared on his face, so they had no choice but to continue.

"I have never seen a Nascent Soul battle of that magnitude in my life. Five Nascent Soul True Immortals with names and surnames, and seven Nascent Soul Realm demon cultivators..."

Luo Chen glanced at Fu Chaosheng's smile and gradually understood what was going on.

It’s not that Tianyuan Dao Sect doesn’t have any ideas. It’s just that they have probably already made secret arrangements and have made corresponding backup plans.

The Tianyuan Business Alliance was the obvious arrangement, while the Penglai Immortal Sect was the backup that had been hidden for thousands of years, and only surfaced when the great battle between good and evil began.

However, it is unclear when Tianyuan Taoist Sect officially began to interfere in the North Sea's immortal cultivation world.

“I know that Ghost Immortal Tower is very powerful, but after all, it is only a fourth-level wild beast, which is equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage like us. Why is it that under his hands, the great cultivator Ji Hanzi is so vulnerable?”

"With just one roar, Ji Hanzi surrendered!"

"Yes, that scene almost shook my faith. Master Yuanhou is an unrivaled existence among my generation. How could he be defeated so easily?"

What everyone discussed the most was not the evil monk Kong Chan in front of Chen Bing, nor the powerful Li Canghai who appeared briefly.

It was an extreme battle that took place in a very short period of time!

The Wild Beast Ghost Immortal Tower fights against the Ice Pole Sect’s Grand Elder Ji Hanzi.

The latter was defeated too miserably!
In fact, the defeat was so severe that they couldn't even imagine it, for fear that it would shake their Nascent Soul path.

This time, Fu Chaosheng sighed quietly.

"Ji Hanzi is already quite good, he did his best."

Immediately, he shook his head and said, "Do you know which kind of existence is the strongest in the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Everyone subconsciously wanted to answer the great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, but when they thought of the previous results, everyone's mouth seemed to be blocked.

Fu Chaosheng stroked his beard and said, "Yes, he is not the great cultivator we usually think of, but a being who has comprehended the true meaning of the law!"

Zhou Yunshen couldn't help but ask, "Can one really comprehend the true meaning of the laws at the Nascent Soul stage without getting lost in the world?" Fu Chaosheng asked in return, "If one doesn't comprehend, how can one achieve the state of incarnation?"

Zhou Yunshen's expression froze.

There have always been different opinions on the essentials of such practice.

Some people say that one must first achieve the primordial spirit, and with a strong primordial spirit, abide by one's original heart, before one can comprehend the laws of heaven and earth without hindrance. In other words, one must first become a spirit, and then realize the truth.

Some people also say that one must first comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and cross this threshold before one can become a true spiritual master. This means first comprehending the Dao and then breaking through the realm.

The difference between the two vaguely divides them into two paths of cultivation.

The answer Luo Chen got from the six Yuanying True People in the North Sea was the former.

However, the answer obtained from Fu Chaosheng, a disciple of the Holy Land, was the latter.

The former is a smooth road for those with average understanding and excellent qualifications, with relatively fewer risks.

The latter is a great test of one's comprehension, but it is the path most highly recommended by the disciples of the Holy Land.

"The reason why I said Ji Hanzi has done his best is because there is precedent to follow."

"You may not know that a similar battle took place in the Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World not long ago."

"There is a peerless demon king, whose true form is the divine bird Qingluan. She is only at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm, but she can defeat the five Nascent Souls in an instant and kill her way into the heartland of the human race as if she were in an empty space. Even the Mingyuan Sect's genius, Daoist Zhang Che, who is at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, dares not act rashly in front of her and can only watch her kill people."

"And for all this, what the Demon King relied on was the true meaning of the law of space that he had comprehended in advance!"

"In comparison, Ji Hanzi used a finger in the air to explode the head of Gui Xian Lou, and finally managed to escape from the Nascent Soul state by force, retaining a glimmer of hope. How can this be considered unbearable?"

Everyone looked extremely excited when they heard this.

As a group of people standing at the top of the mountain and sea world, their intelligence channels are not bad.

But compared with the Tianyuan Business Alliance in the four states of trade, there is a world of difference.

They knew something about the war in the Eastern Wilderness, but they only now understood a little bit of the inside story.

Therefore, everyone asked about the real situation at that time.

Luo Chen was also extremely curious.

At that time, he was only in the early stage of Jindan, and had long been a prisoner, so he had no idea about the situation in the outside world.

Now, hearing what Fu Chaosheng said, we can truly look at that battle from a higher perspective.

"That divine bird, Qingluan, is named Qingshuang."

"Qing Shuang's strength is beyond your imagination!"

"Instantly defeating five Yuanyings and shocking Zhang Che are just a few of his many achievements."

"In order to deal with her, the Mingyuan Sect of the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land assembled three great cultivators and charged into the Hundred Thousand Mountains. However, at the foot of Cangwu Mountain, the three were still no match for the Green Frost Demon Queen."

"None of the three great monks are weak. Their abilities are only comparable to Ji Hanzi's. The only thing they lack is the geographical advantage."

"If even they are defeated, you will know what a monster a Nascent Soul cultivator who has comprehended the true meaning of the law in advance is."

"Later, it even forced the Mingyuan Sect to personally dispatch its powerful gods."

Having said that, he stopped abruptly.

Everyone present felt as if their hearts were being scratched by a cat and couldn't help but ask again and again.

What happened next?

Fu Chaosheng shook his head. "More detailed inside information is beyond my authority. I only know that in that battle, Demon King Qingshuang survived, but the Feather Clan's sacred place Cangwu Mountain mysteriously disappeared."

Everyone was somewhat uninterested.

Luo Chen had the same expression, but his heart was as cold as ice.

In the final battle at Cangwu Mountain, Demon King Qingshuang had indeed shown his abilities to the fullest, and even against the powerful Mingyuan, he managed to hold out for several rounds.

Later, he even activated Qixia Yuanjun's method, the Holy Fire of Nirvana, to force back the powerful Mingyuan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but compare the Demon King Qingshuang with the Wild Beast Guixianlou.

Which one is strong and which one is weak?

Demon King Qingshuang, who mastered the laws of space and was elusive, had achieved a body-refining accomplishment that was shocking even to Luo Chen, who was now at the fourth level of the Ancient Realm.

The Desolate Beast Ghost Immortal Tower seemed to be physically strong, but judging from the fact that Ji Hanzi pierced his head with one finger, he did not seem to be good at this.

What's really great about it is a little unexpected.

It’s a way of refining the soul!
Whether it was the ghostly phantoms that could disrupt the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators, or the soul attack that shook the Nascent Soul's soul under that roar, all explained it.

If the two really confront each other, I'm afraid the latter will be stronger... No, Qingshuang has a record of battles, she can hold out for several rounds against the powerful Mingyuan, but Guixianlou's roar at Li Canghai was just a breeze on his face.

Subconsciously, Luo Chen listed Qingshuang, who was at a relatively low level, as one of the more powerful ones.

Perhaps it was because of his battle record, perhaps it was the experience of being captured alive, or perhaps it was his awe for Cangwu Mountain, Luo Chen really didn't want to face those women in Cangwu Mountain.

But if I really go back to Eastern Wilderness, can I avoid those people by myself?

If I really confront him, how can I have the confidence to avoid repeating the shame of being a prisoner?

Luo Chen tensed his fair and handsome face and said goodbye to everyone.

This was a bit unexpected. He came but didn't say a word. Now he's leaving?

However, considering his previous aloof style of behavior, no one spoke out to persuade him.

Fu Chaosheng just consoled her with one sentence, "We will be at Sun Moon Island soon. We will then take the teleportation array back to Zhongzhou. The situation in the North Sea will no longer have anything to do with you. Don't think too much."

Luo Chen smiled and nodded, and his tense expression seemed to relax.

……

As soon as he returned to the secret room of Kunxiao Palace, Luo Chen couldn't wait to start practicing.

Through frequent alchemy practice, he has improved his proficiency in making Hong Yuan Dan to the mastery level and can now make mid-grade Hong Yuan Dan.

With the assistance of practice, the original practice speed is greatly improved.

According to his deduction, if the top-grade Hongyuan Pill was used to assist in cultivation, the time required to advance to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, which originally took seven or eight years, would definitely be reduced to four or five years.

With such a speed, no one would believe it if I told them.

But this is the true speed of cultivation under the combination of terrifying talent and terrifying alchemy skills, which is as fast as a dream.

However, when Luo Chen finished his practice late at night, there was no joy or relief on his face.

"Not enough, still not enough!"

"These alone are far from enough for me to catch up with those women!"

The quantified speed of cultivation makes people feel at ease, but it also makes Luo Chen realize very clearly how huge the gap is between himself and those top strong people.

That cannot be eliminated in just a few years or decades.

"I need more powerful means!"

"Sword, tripod, and armor, three treasures to rely on, there is no need to ask for anything else."

"Although the formation is powerful, it is complex and slow, and it is even more difficult to react in battle."

"The White Tiger Puppet can be used as a trump card, but even a true Grand Master Yuan Hou could not stand a single blow in front of Demon Emperor Qing Shuang, so I'm afraid the White Tiger will not be able to do the same."

"It can't be all external things, I need to master the real killer move."

"Skill!"

Luo Chen's restless heart seemed to have found support and immediately calmed down.

Only the spells that accompanied him throughout the battle and could be cast at any time gave him enough confidence to face anyone.

Even Han Zhan, who had fought his way into his sea of ​​consciousness, was defeated by his dragon-slaying technique.

Yes, the art of the soul!

Luo Chen seemed to have found the direction and also seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.

Emotionally, he felt that Qingshuang was stronger, but rationally, he felt that Guixianlou could fight against Qingshuang.

The confidence in the Ghost Immortal Tower lies in the soul attack.

"If I can master similar powerful spells, can I catch the enemy by surprise and win the battle?"

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his mind kept recalling the battle with the Bingji Sect and all the actions of the Ghost Immortal Tower.

Under the long and narrow eyelashes, the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water move spontaneously, and there are layers of ghost shadows circling around, and the illusion of immortals flying.

In the end, as the magic power surged, evil spirit lingered.

Even the source of his strength lurking deep within his body began to operate spontaneously.

The illusion in the eyes slowly spread from the inside to the outside.

In a trance, Luo Chen muttered to himself.

"Is that right?"
