Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 744: Sudden Enlightenment and Inspiration

Two figures floated by in the breeze and white clouds.

From Fu Qinglan, Luo Chen became more and more familiar with the personnel composition of Tiandi Peak.

As a treasure land with a fifth-level spiritual vein, the spiritual energy on Tiandi Peak is extremely abundant.

But in order to prevent unnecessary waste, caves were only opened on the mountain for Yuanying Zhenren and Huashen Great Powers. Even if there were Jindan cultivators occasionally appearing, they were only used for service.

As for the foreign monks who joined Star Gate with their families, their disciples were arranged to stay in other places.

It can be said that as long as you practice on Tiandi Peak for a long time, you will really not need to build a foundation when you come and go, and everyone you talk and laugh with will be a real person!

The composition of the real people on the mountain is also quite complex. Although most of them are cultivators from other continents, the older generation of real people from other large families will also leave their families and join Tiandi Peak when they get older.

The representatives here were none other than the fourteen elders from Tiandi Peak sent by the twelve great families and thirty-six noble families.

After explaining all this, Fu Qinglan could not help but sigh: "This mountain alone encompasses half of the essence of Zhongzhou!"

Luo Chen did not refute. Perhaps to outsiders, this mountain seemed to be in a state of decline, but the people on the mountain were indeed capable people.

If you think about it carefully when you combine it with what Fu Chaosheng said at the time, it is even more terrifying.

Is it this sacred mountain that provides nourishment for those elderly Yuanying Zhenren, or are those Yuanying Zhenren giving back to the mountain when they reach the end of their lives?

He had no intention of continuing to ponder, and stopped in front of Cave No. 78.

He took out the guest jade token bestowed by the elder of Star Gate and activated it with magic power.

In an instant, the white clouds retreated, and a corner of a strange peak appeared in the depths of the fog.

"It's a nice, quiet, secluded place."

Luo Chen chuckled.

Fu Qinglan frowned slightly, "The concentration of spiritual energy here seems to be a little low?"

Luo Chen strode in with a smile on his face, seeming to be very satisfied.

He knew that the other party might think that he had never seen the world, and was willing to accept this ordinary fourth-level spirit vein.

But he knew better that he was just a passer-by in Zhongzhou, and even being a guest of Star Gate was just a gilded honor for him.

As long as it does not affect the essence, what difference does it make whether this layer of gold powder is a real guest official or a temporary guest official?

As for the concentration of spiritual energy?

One or two years won't have any impact.

……

Cave No. 78 has been uninhabited for many years, but that doesn't mean it's covered with dust and cobwebs.

The formation remains clean and refreshing as it operates all year round.

Luo Chen turned around and was quite satisfied.

There is just one shortcoming. Tian Xuanjing and the others were left in the Fu family's land. There was no one available around him, so he might have to do many things by himself.

Seeing that Luo Chen was not dissatisfied, Fu Qinglan did not say much. Instead, he waited for him to stop and took out several jade slips from the storage bag.

"This is?"

Luo Chen took the jade slip and asked casually while flipping through it.

"My grandfather finally came to Lanke Mountain and needed to visit his former fellow disciples. He said these things were what you needed, so he asked me to bring them along."

It is indeed what Luo Chen needs.

Five fire-attributed skills, two of the fourth level, and three of the third level.

The other jade slip contained the information about Eastern Wilderness that Luo Chen had specifically requested in private.

Finally, Fu Qinglan hesitated for a moment and took out a booklet from his arms.

"This is the information we have collected so far about the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators during the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven Competition, as well as information about their respective protectors. Although it is not complete yet, I think it will be of great help to us."

Luo Chen took a glance and casually put it into his storage bag.

Seeing this scene, Fu Qinglan pursed her rosy lips.

So careless?

Is it that the other party has the confidence to not care about those opponents, or is it that they don’t care about this matter at all?

Originally, she wanted to have a good chat, but when the words came to her lips, Fu Qinglan subconsciously said, "I heard that Brother Luo Dao has only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but his magical power is extremely powerful. I want to see a little bit of it. Is that possible?"

Luo Chen raised his head and looked at her in surprise.

"Didn't you say that you must not start a war before entering the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven?"

Fu Qinglan insisted, "It won't have any impact if you learn a little."

Luo Chen smiled lightly, "If that's the case, then I can do it too."

As soon as the words fell, the wind and clouds shook.

An extremely domineering magical power spread out from him, connecting with the free spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the Nascent Soul realm took shape in an instant.

At this moment, it was like a volcano erupting!

Fu Qinglan’s face turned pale.

She wanted to release her Nascent Soul realm, but under the opponent's suppression, she even had difficulty connecting with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Is the gap so huge?"

In her heart, the woman couldn't believe it.

……

[In the 3505th year of the Shanhai calendar, a tide of beasts emerged from the Million Mountains and attacked the 36 regions of the human race in the Eastern Wasteland...]

[In the 3531st year of the Shanhai calendar, the Mingyuan Sect of the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land organized powerful men from various sects to counterattack the demon clan and recover a large area of ​​lost territory.]

[The ancient demon emperor Tian frequently appeared. Although he did not personally take action, he put great pressure on Yuanying Zhenren, causing the front line to lose the battle repeatedly. ]

[The tug of war went on for a hundred years, and 40% of the immortal cultivation areas in the Eastern Wasteland were reduced to scorched earth.]

【After 3566 years of Shanhai calendar, the three halls of Cangwu Mountain, the sacred place of the Feather Clan that disappeared for a long time, reappeared in the world. Demon King Qingshuang went into the heartland of the human race alone, wanting to avenge the past, destroy the Tianji Zen Sect, and destroy the Hehuan Mountain Gate. Because the two sects' great elders died in the Baiwan Mountains decades ago, no one could stop Demon King Qingshuang, and the two Yuanying sects were destroyed in an instant.】

[The Mingyuan Sect of the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land was furious and personally took action, sending a large number of Mingyuan disciples to kill monsters and beasts and counterattack the Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains! Zhang Che, the Thunder Daoist, led the way and showed his superb thunder cultivation. He is suspected to have inherited the great Bai Ye Dao lineage and is expected to become a god...]

In the cave, Luo Chen slowly withdrew his consciousness from the jade slip, with a complicated expression on his face.

In just a hundred years, the Eastern Wasteland had become a scorched earth.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked after seeing the exact information.

In that case, could the Luotian Sect really still be alive?
He didn't know, but he couldn't wait to return to his homeland.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen's excited mood calmed down a little as he circulated the "Micro Dust Element Technique" in his body.

At this moment, I carefully reviewed the contents of the intelligence and found something strange.

The return of the Feather Clan’s sacred land, Cangwu Mountain, took place about forty years ago.

At that time, he had just arrived at Longyuan Island in the Demon Sea and entered the ninth level of the Golden Core. In the outside world, the seal of the Arctic Yama Sky was broken, and a large number of demons escaped.

These things seem to be unrelated, but if you consider the repair time of the teleportation array in Xintian Sea that connects the East Wilderness and the North Sea, it is somewhat of a coincidence.

The reason why the Cangwu Mountain Holy Land dares to return to the world must be that it has something to rely on!

The Demon King Qingshuang dared to invade the human race's heartland, so he had his own reasons.

And the greatest reliance must be the great being who is also a deity - Qixia Yuanjun!
"If Qixia Yuanjun returned at this time, then where was she before this?"

"Could it be at the gate of the Yuanmo Sect, in the North Pole Yama Heaven?"

Luo Chen swallowed his saliva and suddenly had this strange idea.

"Forget it. These things are still too far away from me. Let me deal with the current affairs first!"

Luo Chen shook his head, not wanting to think about it, and not daring to think about those behemoths standing at the top of this world.

Instead, he focused on matters related to his own practice.

He firmly believed that as long as he was strong enough, many seemingly troublesome things would be easily solved.

The concentration of spiritual energy in Cave No. 78 is average, far less than that of Wangwu Mountain in Fujia and Diyuan in Longyuan Island, and only comparable to Xiaoqiong Mountain in Shenyuan City.

In this case, there is no need to rush into seclusion and practice hard.

Now Fu Qinglan sent him five fire-attributed skills, which gave him more skills.

This is a great opportunity to study the techniques and create one that suits your Nascent Soul stage! Luo Chen no longer hesitated and took out the first jade slip.

Dongjia Lihuo Jing

……

The practice of cultivation is nothing more than refining qi and breathing.

Due to the structure of the human body and natural changes, it is subdivided into Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Twelve Heavenly Stems, Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams, etc.

This is very detailed and most cultivators do not understand it, but for Luo Chen, who also practices formation, it is not difficult to understand.

In his opinion, this "Dongjia Lihuo Jing" is obviously a more sophisticated fourth-level martial arts method.

The spiritual energy it absorbs is not as comprehensive as other ordinary fire-attributed skills. Instead, it generalizes and focuses on absorbing the more essential parts of the fire-attributed spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This is a bit useless to Luo Chen.

The "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" is the ancestor of fire magic. It follows the grand and upright concept of domineering control of all fire in the world. There is no need to generalize.

However, some details about meridian adjustment in this exercise are worth learning from.

After Luo Chen possessed the body of a fire spirit, he did not do much to develop this physique.

At this moment, with the help of the "Dongjia Lihuo Jing", I have some alternative ideas.

Afterwards, Luo Chen began to comprehend another fourth-level fire-attributed technique, "Purple Yang Divine Art".

This is a martial art that has strict requirements on the time and place of practice.

Unlike Luo Chen's habit of practicing late at night, to practice the "Purple Yang Divine Art", it is best to do so when the sun is rising and the sky is bright, absorbing the first ray of true solar fire between heaven and earth.

The aura of the sun's true fire at this moment is the purest, yet the weakest, and is suitable for refining by a Nascent Soul True Person.

If this technique is mastered, it can greatly enhance the power of the Nascent Soul True Fire and have a natural restraining effect on filthy and evil things.

This day.

Luo Chen sat upright on the ancient paulownia tree, with a dark abyss beneath him and a faint wind blowing.

His eyes were bright, staring straight into the dark night.

As night fell and a hint of paleness gradually appeared in the sky, the magic power in his body began to flow naturally.

Between breaths, the rhythmic beats rise and fall, as if echoing with the heaven and earth.

suddenly.

Swish!
A round ball that looks like an egg yolk appears in the eyes.

The sun is rising in the sky.

Luo Chen's breathing rhythm also reached synchronization at this moment.

As the sun continued to rise, a large amount of weak yet pure fire-attributed spiritual energy began to gather towards him.

"I see……"

When Luo Chen finished practicing the "Purple Yang Divine Art", he felt a greater enlightenment in his heart.

If the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" focuses on increasing the amount of mana, then the "Dongjia Lihuo Sutra" is more inclined to internal adjustments to make the flow of mana smoother, and this "Purple Yang Divine Art" focuses on the quality of mana.

After long-term practice, his magic power has become extremely pure, and even his Nascent Soul True Fire has some of the characteristics of the Sun's True Fire.

As for the "Yanhuang Sutra" that was studied before, it has a different approach on the acupoints of the purple palace.

"If I take Tianhuang as my foundation and learn from the advantages of these three sets of skills, can I continue to practice fire skills in a comprehensive way?"

Luo Chen's eyes gleamed with brilliance, and his heart was filled with greed.

He has the confidence.

The body of a fire spirit gave him the foundation to practice various fire-attributed techniques.

The proficiency panel allows him to study the integration and even creation of techniques to increase his upper limit.

As long as you find the right balance...

Just at this moment, Luo Chen's heart suddenly moved.

Looking inward with his spiritual consciousness, he saw the Withering and Flourishing True Fire in his Purple Mansion slowly withering. As he practiced for many days, it seemed that the withering speed was getting faster and faster?
After absorbing the withered fire marrow, the withered true fire was almost extinguished. This was not Luo Chen exaggerating to Fu Chaosheng, but a fact.

This shouldn't have happened.

But Luo Chen figured out the reason for this situation.

The true fire of withering and flourishing does not only have a side of vitality and prosperity, it also has another side of death and withering!
However, over the years, stimulated by Luo Chen, it has been slowly improving and growing stronger and stronger.

This kind of growth actually has its limits.

Even if it was fused with a wisp of the origin of the Holy Fire of Nirvana, it still could not conceal its limits.

But in the Molan Court, after absorbing the seemingly ordinary fourth-level Nether Fire, the Kuruo True Fire found its direction.

And with the guidance of the withered fire marrow, its limited intelligence made up its mind to go in that direction.

That is "prosperity and decline, and prosperity and decline in cycles"!
Undoubtedly, this is the essence of the true fire of withering and flourishing.

In Luo Chen's prediction, as long as he went through the complete process of rise and fall, withering and flourishing, the withering and flourishing true fire would have the possibility of completely transforming.

From nothing to something, up to the fourth stage, then withering and dying, returning to nothingness again.

When it ignites again...

"It's this time. It's much faster than I expected. How could it be so?"

Luo Chen was a little confused.

He expected that this process would last at least several years, or even more than ten years.

But it’s only been less than a year now, right?

"Could it be that I'm practicing other fire-attributed techniques?"

Luo Chen always prided himself on being knowledgeable, but at this moment he was completely unsure.

However, he vaguely got some inspiration from the accelerated withering of the Withering and Flourishing True Fire.

"The cycle of withering and flourishing has the meaning of nirvana. If I also integrate this kind of change into the practice method, wouldn't it perfectly fit the concept of the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra?"

When he thought of this, Luo Chen couldn't help but become restless.

He once had the experience of using fire to refine his body.

Now, it seems that it is not impossible to use fire to refine Qi?

For a moment, Luo Chen fell into a long contemplation. The mana in his body began to flow spontaneously, and the spiritual energy from the outside world kept pouring into him and being spit out.

Surrounded by gentle breeze and white clouds, with wind, rain, thunder and lightning, he seemed unaware of even the visit from the wealthy grandfather and grandson.

If this situation is explained in terms of spiritual practice, it would be called sudden enlightenment!

In a quiet cave in Tiandi Peak.

A frail woman opened her eyes in confusion.

She was distracted and instantly found the source of the incident.

Looking at the young man sitting cross-legged on the top of the tree, whose temperament was constantly changing, his eyes showed surprise.

After examining it carefully for a while, she came back to her senses.

"Dongfang Bai's worries are not without reason."

"If such a genius enters the Star Gate, it will harm the interests of Zhongzhou's geniuses. Isn't that what is happening now?"

"My soul communicated with the heaven and earth, and attracted a huge amount of spiritual energy. A part of it helped me ascend, and a part of it was absorbed by the land of Zhongzhou. This was something that Tianyuan Dao Sect was happy to see happen. Unexpectedly, now a little bit of it has been shared by an outsider."

"In that case, I will lend you a helping hand!"

As she muttered to herself, her spirit emanated, controlling the spiritual energy that was supposed to be integrated into the land of Zhongzhou. She extracted a part of it and gathered it towards the young man.

Not only that, some weak magic power was stimulated from her fingertips, floating towards there and covering the surroundings.

In the vast Tiandi Peak, apart from her, no other monks on the mountain discovered the strange phenomenon of the young man.

After doing all this, the woman's face showed a complicated expression.

"As a fellow alchemist, I hope you will be free from the shackles and be free on the path to immortality."

Everything happened in secret, no one knew, no one discovered, even Luo Chen, the person involved, was unaware.
