Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 770: Send troops to the North Sea, right now!
"Is he leaving?"

In a quiet secret room, Fu Qinglan slowly opened his eyes.

Fu Chaosheng, who had just come in, nodded.

Fu Qinglan pursed her lips and asked faintly, "Is he going to find his Taoist partner?"

Fu Chaosheng sighed, "That's true. Before, I just thought he was a casual cultivator from the North Sea, and the spirit pets and followers that followed him were all from the North Sea. But I didn't expect that he was actually from the East Desert. If he didn't take the initiative to say it, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark."

"Eastern Wasteland...Wilderness..."

Fu Qinglan muttered the Taoist name that Luo Chen had chosen for himself and couldn't help but chuckle.

It turns out that from the very beginning, Luo Chen had made it clear that he was following.

Thinking about the fact that the other party personally told his grandfather that he already had a Taoist partner, Fu Qinglan could only sigh that the decision he had made before was correct.

Not to mention whether Luo Chen was willing to marry into a wealthy family, the fact that the other party already had a wife and concubines meant that she was destined not to share a husband with others.

"When are you leaving?"

Fu Chaosheng said, "He has already reported to the Seven Lamps Elder of the Star Gate and has already left Tiandi Peak. But before leaving Zhongzhou, he has to go back to Wangwu Mountain Range. He will go there to bring his pets and followers, and at the same time hand over the large amount of cultivation resources I prepared for him earlier."

After hearing this, Fu Qinglan sighed, "He is still so thoughtful..."

Then, there was a long silence.

Fu Chaosheng didn't say much, but when he looked at his granddaughter from time to time, there was a sense of alienation and strangeness.

The other party has changed a lot since coming out of the Mirage Dragon Cave.

There are not only changes in the level of cultivation, but also changes in personality.

Become much more mature.

Especially after entering Zuowang Peak, the change became even greater.

Of course, Fu Chaosheng thought this change was a good thing. His life was coming to an end and it would be impossible for him to take care of his granddaughter for the rest of his life. If Qinglan could take on the responsibility early, that would be what he wanted.

Suddenly.

A yellowed animal leather booklet appeared in the woman's hand.

"Give him this book!"

Fu Chaosheng frowned, "Why give him another gift? Although he has paid with fifty years of his life, he has gained a lot from us. Especially last time, according to your wishes, I sent him the formation book and sword manual."

As he was talking, his eyes fell on the animal skin booklet and his expression was stunned.

"Tongyouji? Isn't this your favorite chess book?"

Fu Qinglan stroked the yellowed pages of the book. The pages tanned from the fur of an unknown monster were so soft, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

But when she thought of how clumsy Luo Chen was when he played chess with her, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

"It's just a set of chess manuals. You can buy them anywhere in Zhongzhou. It's nothing to me now. I'll give it to him as a farewell. I hope that when we meet again someday, his chess skills won't be so bad."

As she spoke, she waved her hand gently.

"Tongyou Ji" floated in front of Fu Chaosheng.

Fu Chaosheng didn't say anything this time. It was just an ordinary set of chess manuals. Zhongzhou was not short of this kind of books.

"Tongyou Ji" may be a little special in that it came from the upper realm, but that's all.

After all, it is still just a miscellaneous book that has nothing to do with the practice of the Tao.

"I will have someone take the teleportation array to bring the chess classics back to the family and give them to Luo Chen. As for you, have you, the sect master, and the ancestors made arrangements?"

Fu Qinglan smiled, "Grandpa, don't worry about me. Now that I have entered Zuowang Peak, Qinglan will have a bright future. We just need to wait for the remaining few people to come out of the cave, and the sect will give out rewards based on their rankings."

"That's pretty quick then."

Fu Chaosheng stroked his beard, looking forward to that day.

And that day arrived very quickly indeed.

About half a year later, two figures appeared at the same time in the main hall of Tiandi Peak.

A man and a woman, the man is Master Longyuan, and the woman is the true disciple Mingyan.

The results were somewhat surprising.

Master Long Yuan, who was favored by many people, did not succeed in comprehending the original power. Instead, Ming Yan, who came from the same master and disciple lineage, made great gains!
The saying at the time, in Mingyan's words, was that Master Longyuan was injured by Luo Chen's sword at Sanhong Waterfall, which made it difficult for him to gain enlightenment later.

But in the eyes of those sharp-eyed representatives of the aristocratic families, it was clear that Master Long Yuan had become a stepping stone for the master-disciple lineage.

Now the lineage of master and disciple has one more genius who has realized the original power, and there is hope for revival from now on.

However, the Liu family, a humble family from which True Man Long Yuan came, saw its rise come to an end.

Even if it is promoted to a noble family in the future, it will only be an ordinary noble family. It is hard to say whether it can remain intact after a thousand years.

After them, Gu Yuan also came out.

And the result was equally surprising.

Gu Yuan did not realize the original power!

You know, according to the true teachings that came out earlier, Gu Yuan did not encounter any obstacles from beginning to end, and his protector Gu Chen supported him all the way.

With everything going so smoothly, why is he not as good as Fu Qinglan, Gu Daosu and Mingyan?
What is even more surprising is that under such circumstances, the old patriarch of the Gu family, who has always been strict, did not blame Gu Yuan at all, but instead praised him for doing a good job.

This kind of incongruous thing left everyone confused.

But this doubt did not last long.

Because the Mirage Dragon Cave began to close.

At the foot of the Tiandi Peak, the clouds and mist in the Shijiang River began to be recovered and sank into the big mouth.

Everyone left the hall and looked at the entrance to the cave.

There is still one person who has not come out yet!

Just when the cave was about to be completely closed, a golden sun slowly emerged from the entrance.

It's Shi Ju!
Without mentioning the congratulations from everyone, Shi Ju looked around with his sharp eyes, but did not see the person he wanted to see.

"Hidden?"

At this moment.

A vicissitudes of life voice sounded slowly.

"The cave is closed, and the swords are broken!"

Without thinking, everyone set up their escape lights and left Tiandi Peak.

Tiandi Peak, which had been bustling for a year, suddenly became quiet.

And countless people's attention was focused on Qingyun Square in Lanke Mountains.

Thousands of brilliant lights and golden and jade steps.

The figures of the disciples who participated in this competition appeared on the jade steps one after another.

Everyone looked up until Sect Leader Mo Shouzhuo appeared.

He waved his hand, and the boy behind him took out a scroll and slowly unfolded it.

"Ge Ling, you ranked tenth in the Golden Elixir Competition. You are awarded 10,000 high-quality spirit stones, a mid-quality Taoist robe, five bottles of Qionghua Pills, and can study in the Sutra Library for fifteen days."

"Lizizhuang, ranked ninth in the Golden Elixir Competition, awarded 20,000 high-quality spirit stones, a mid-quality Taoist robe, 10 bottles of Qionghua Pills, and can study in the Sutra Library for 15 days."

"Liu Changfeng..."

As each name was called, each person and the family behind them were excited.

Especially Liu Changfeng, this young man from the poor Liu family, was able to rank among the top ten, which really brought honor to the family.

Those rewards are nothing, but the half month of studying in the Sutra Library is invaluable!
Because, after entering, you can not only find suitable skills, but also learn some powerful spells, and even these things can be passed down in the family!

The failure of Master Long Yuan had already cast a shadow on the future of the Liu family. With the addition of Liu Changfeng, the haze was finally dispelled.

Zhenren Longyuan, who was standing outside the jade steps, looked a little better.

Next, the ranking rewards for the Jindan disciples will be distributed one after another.

But starting from the sixth place, the ones ahead are basically all disciples from wealthy families.

Just when I was in second place, there was an accident.

The second one was surnamed Wang, from the Wang family of Bochuan, which was the Wang family of the true disciple who was forced out of Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven by Luo Chen's sword.

This person was quite extraordinary. He traveled around the periphery of the cave alone with a sword and hunted down a large number of third-level phantom beasts.

Their brilliance is in no way inferior to that of disciples from wealthy families!
But Master Long Yuan didn't pay attention to all these. His eyes were only on the top two rows of jade steps.

There were three people standing in the second row.

Among Gu Daosu, Shi Ju was on the right, and the back of the woman on the left made him look extremely complicated.

Had I spent a hundred years of hard work in the North Sea just to make her successful?

Mingyan seemed to be able to feel the burning gaze behind her, but she did not move.

Shi Ju on the right was quite agitated and kept looking left and right.

That person didn't show up!
At this grand ceremony, he still did not show up.

Representatives from other families, as well as the protectors of the Nascent Soul True Transmission, were all present, except Luo Chen, who was nowhere to be seen.

"Hidden?"

"You can't dodge it. You hurt my Thunder Clone and ruined my plan of cultivating both Thunder and Fire."

"I will definitely seek revenge from you!"

While muttering to himself, he finally fixed his murderous gaze on the graceful woman in front of him.

"Bitch!"

These two words were spoken in a low voice without any concealment.

Fu Qinglan seemed not to notice and just stood there, but his back was straighter.

She had faced the torch of time!
She had seen how miserable the other party was at the hands of Luo Chen!

The previous timidity has long since disappeared.

Moreover, now she is no longer the Fu Qinglan of the past, but the first in the competition and the first among her peers to enter Zuwang Peak to practice!

"Shi Ju, who realized the power of the origin, was given the Flame Cloud True Clothes and the Taihe Pill. He entered the Zuowang Peak and studied the "Shangxuandong Mingyanyan Sutra". In the Sutra Library, he was granted the magical power of Haoyi Chixiao Qi!"

The boy's voice is clear and distant.

As soon as it was said, everyone was shocked.

Even though it was expected, countless people still envied it when they actually heard about this reward.

However, Shi Ju himself had an extremely gloomy expression.

It shouldn't be like this!

Clearly according to the plan, he could choose to practice both thunder and fire magical powers together.

This is definitely the first time such treatment has been given within the Tianyuan Taoist Sect.

Everything was ruined by that man!

Above the Qingyun, Mo Shouzhuo glanced at Shi Ju, whose emotions were clearly visible, and couldn't help but sigh.

"To cultivate with thunder and fire, and try to comprehend the supreme law, even if it is a seedling cultivated from childhood, it still won't work! Especially, this mentality..."

These words are not spoken to oneself, but a conversation with others.

Soon, someone responded to him.

"In terms of character, it's true that we protected Shi Ju too well. But it was Fu Qinglan's protector who caused his failure!"

Another voice joined in.

"Luo Chen? That boy is pretty good. He is valued by Chu Yan and has realized the true meaning of the law. In the future, he may become a banner of Tiandi Peak."

Mo Shouzhe disagrees with this.

"You are wrong. Luo Chen has gone astray."

Have you gone astray?

Several fellow disciples did not refute Mo Shouzhuo. They could all see that the true meaning of the laws that Luo Chen had comprehended did not match his own path.

At least, Luo Chen cannot respond to the vital energy of heaven and earth!
Mo Shouzhuo said again: "Let's stop the experiment on Shi Ju here, unless he can comprehend the origin of thunder himself."

After saying this, he no longer participated in the discussion with his fellow disciples.

The boy beside him read out the reward for Fu Qinglan, the first Yuanying master.

"Fu Qinglan, who realized the power of the origin, was given the Sala True Robe and the Taihe Pill. He entered the Zuowang Peak and studied the Qingmu Zhiling Huasheng Sutra. In the Sutra Library, he was given the Divine Power Great Heavenly Creation Seal!"

"Also, you can become the disciple of Grandmaster Chun Yuan and practice for a hundred years!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
Although the previous rewards were already generous, they were not surprising considering the foundation laid by the previous three people.

But the personal instruction of the mighty God is too great a reward.

The Tianyuan Taoist Sect is different from the sacred sites of the gods in the other four continents of the Mountain and Sea Realm. It is not passed down from master to disciple, but mainly inherited through families.

Even if you join the Taoist sect, you still have to rely on yourself for most of the practice.

The sect’s teaching is mostly by high-level monks, who treat everyone equally.

And now, Fu Qinglan, a mere person who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, could actually receive personal instruction from a powerful being who had been in the Spirit Transformation stage for a hundred years!
Given time, he might be able to become the new generation of God-Transforming Ancestor!

For a moment, everyone stared at Fu Qinglan's back with envy, wishing they could replace him.

Under the gaze of everyone, the woman bowed slightly and spoke in a clear voice.

"Thank you, Sect Master. Thank you, Sect!"

The figure in white robe flashed through my mind. In fact, I should thank him more!
At this point, the competition is completely over.

Mo Shouzhuo waved his hand, and the boy closed the scroll and left.

The old man looked down at the densely packed monks at the foot of the mountain with a calm expression.

But what he said was earth-shattering.

"Our sect has been in this world for ten thousand years. Our ancestors worked hard to open up the territory and conquer the rich land of Zhongzhou from countless wild beasts and monsters for us to live and practice."

"After the ancient times, three thousand years have passed. With the help of the rich resources of Zhongzhou, our clan has stood on the top of the mountains and seas, and has looked down upon the four continents."

"But the vast Zhongzhou is no longer able to support our continued cultivation. The North Sea is experiencing a monster riot, and there is no leader. Someone needs to step up and turn the tide. Now is the best time for us to inherit the will of our predecessors and carry forward the sect."

"Therefore, we will send troops to the North Sea right now!"

The plan to march into the North Sea had already been agreed upon by all the major families in Zhongzhou long before the competition.

At this moment, coming from the sect leader's mouth, it was completely determined.

For a moment, after Mo Shouzhuo finished speaking, a thunderous response rang out from the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

"Send troops to the North Sea now!"

"Send troops to the North Sea now!"

"Send troops to the North Sea now!"

……

In Wangwu Mountain.

Different from the bustling Lankao Mountains, this place seems exceptionally quiet amid the sound of the abacus.

Luo Chen quietly watched Tian Xuan and the wealthy cultivator hand over more than a dozen storage bags of cultivation resources.

The number of spirit stones involved must be counted in billions.

After this incident, Luo Chen's savings were almost gone.

However, it's all worth it.

Even if Luo Chen leaves Zhongzhou next time, he will no longer have to worry about the resources needed for his practice.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door.

It’s Sang Jinghe.

He hurried in and when he saw Luo Chen, a look of joy appeared on his haggard face.

"Master, I found a way to cultivate the Demonic Heart Tree!"
