Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 782: Holy Land Sends a Message, Baili Qingchuan

Inside Lingtian Pass.

The old ghost Motian had a big quarrel with the real person Shenhuo, and finally parted on bad terms.

As the most beloved disciple of the Divine Fire Master, Ran Feng asked curiously, "Grandmaster, why don't you challenge Luo Chen?"

His realm has reached the Golden Core stage, and he had been dealing with the Luo Tian Sect for many years in his early years, so he knew a thing or two about many secrets.

He knew the inside story about the Supreme Emperor of the Divine Sect's coveting of Luo Chen.

In theory, this is a good opportunity.

With the power of the two great sects, they challenged Luo Chen and asked the Lord of Lingtian City to punish Luo Chen. Then they would take advantage of the opportunity...

"What's the point of launching a rebellion?" Zhenren Shenhuo looked at the direction where the old ghost Motian left, narrowed his eyes, and asked casually.

"Uh..." Ran Feng couldn't explain it clearly.

True Man of Divine Fire said again, "Regardless of whether City Lord Lingtian will punish Luo Chen, his current status as a Nascent Soul True Man means that the punishment will not be too severe. At most, he will be fined some spirit stones and have to do some hard work. This kind of punishment is useless to us. Moreover..."

He paused, and said grimly: "What the Grand Elder wants is a complete Luo Chen. Rather than alerting the enemy, it is better to tell the Grand Elder the news first, and he will handle it himself."

Ran Feng suddenly understood and revealed the wise look of his ancestor.

True Man Shenhuo forced a smile, but in his heart he was weighing the pros and cons.

Now that Yin Sixiang is dead, he will definitely be held accountable, but at this critical moment, the sect will not do anything to him with his Nascent Soul combat power.

Especially since he brought back the news about Luo Chen, the Supreme Elder might even reward him.

"The realm is about between the second and third levels of the Nascent Soul?"

True Man Shenhuo was a little uncertain. The realm displayed by Luo Chen during the battle was sometimes high and sometimes low, which made him unsure.

But no matter what, he is at best just a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.

The only thing that makes people afraid is probably the white flame in his hand.

In an instant, he refined the old ghost Motian's natal weapon, which was truly powerful and strange.

This information also needs to be reported.

"The Grand Master of Fenghua Palace might be his potential ally, as well as the Lord of Lingtian City..."

With his judgment of Luo Chen flowing in his mind and thinking of City Lord Lingtian's attitude towards Luo Chen, True Man Shenhuo hesitated.

That's really too friendly!

Although there have always been rumors that this person is keen on making friends, that is only among those who know his background better.

Luo Chen suddenly appeared, and his temperament, behavior style, and outstanding qualities are still unknown. Why does the Lord of Lingtian City favor him so much?

It was precisely because of City Lord Lingtian’s attitude that True Man Shenhuo, who was in the City Lord’s Mansion at the time, chose to remain silent.

"Isn't he curious about how Luo Chen escaped from Cangwu Mountain back then?"

……

Inside the city lord's palace.

There was a thick stack of bamboo slips in front of Ye Lingtian, and he buried his head in them.

These bamboo slips are not old at all. Instead, they still emit a faint fragrance of bamboo and ink, as if they were just made.

The content recorded above is also a bit messy.

"Luo Chen, 231 years old, comes from Dahefang in Yuding Territory of the Eastern Wasteland, and rose to prominence in Tianlan Fairy City in Yuding Territory..."

"He possesses five spiritual roots, but his aptitude is extremely poor, and he has no sect teachings or family to rely on."

"When he was in the Qi Refining Stage, he showed his talent in alchemy and was awarded the title of Dan Chenzi among the casual cultivators."

Seeing this, Lingtian City Lord paused slightly.

Did you have a Taoist name when you were in the Qi Refining Stage?

"interesting!"

He continued to flip through the bamboo slips, from Luo Chen's Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and then to the Golden Core Stage.

The location also changed from the unknown Dahefang to Tianlan Fairy City, step by step, until the Luoyun Sect started the war.

The battle of the Great Snow Mountain declared the failure of the war of development.

The battle at Cangwu Mountain kicked off a new round of all-out war between humans and demons in the Eastern Wilderness's world of immortal cultivation since ancient times.

At this point, information about Luo Chen was cut off.

City Lord Lingtian picked up another bamboo slip, which was also a relatively older one among the many new bamboo slips.

"This was written by Junior Brother Chongming himself after he came back from Zhongzhou!"

After recognizing the handwriting, City Lord Lingtian looked slightly serious.

Spreading out the bamboo slips, the contents recorded on them were still related to Luo Chen, but unlike the casual cultivator who was struggling in the quagmire before, Luo Chen at this time was no longer the same person.

A deserted person!
He gained enlightenment in Beihai and became famous in Zhongzhou.

In the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven Competition, he single-handedly turned the tide and pushed Fu Qinglan, who originally had no outstanding talents, to the top of the competition.

The situation of the cave battle is unknown, but one thing needs to be noted, Luo Chen is favored by the Alchemy Saint Chu Yan!
When the Alchemy Saint ascends to heaven, he will be given a Tianji Pill!
It was for this reason that Chongming noticed this person and took special care to have the Mingyuan Sect collect information related to him.

"Why does Senior Sister Chu favor him?"

City Lord Lingtian paused and fell into deep thought.

Some people may find it strange that he calls Chongming his junior brother, Chongming calls Dan Sheng Chu Yan his uncle, but he and Chu Yan call each other senior sister and junior brother.

This generation is a mess.

But in fact it is not chaotic. Chongming is the new generation of genius of Mingyuan School. He is not from the same era as Dan Sheng Chu Yan, Ye Lingtian and others.

Therefore, even after he achieved the Nascent Soul stage, and even when he was sent as an envoy by Tianyuan Dao Sect on behalf of Mingyuan, he still respectfully addressed Chu Yan as his uncle.

And he still continues to use the name he had when they were in the same faction.

Lingtian City Lord pondered for a while, "Could it be that it was because of Luo Chen's unique talent in alchemy that Senior Sister Chu Yan took a liking to him?"

"That's how it should be!"

"Luo Chen's talent is not good, but his cultivation has never stopped. His realm has improved by leaps and bounds. He condensed a golden elixir in just a hundred years, which is no less than that of a cultivator with a natural spiritual root. In the absence of any sect's guidance, the only explanation is that he took a shortcut in the path of alchemy."

"During his hundred-year journey in the North Sea, he leapt from the early stage of the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul True Person! Such progress may have been due to some miraculous encounters, but it was definitely inseparable from the help of the Dao of Alchemy."

as predicted!

When Ye Lingtian opened the last bamboo slip, his thoughts were confirmed.

"Xingmen guest Luo Chen can easily take out a fourth-level middle-grade cultivation elixir. I suspect he can refine a fourth-level upper-grade elixir."

"Suspected to be a great master of alchemy!"

Without having time to be happy about his guess, Ye Lingtian took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

"Pay attention to Luo Chen. This boy is related to the old events of Cangwu Mountain. But you must not use force, you must treat him with courtesy!"

These two simple sentences contain such great divine thoughts that make people subconsciously want to surrender.

It is obvious that the person who left this jade slip is a powerful being above the Nascent Soul stage!
It is precisely because of this jade slip that the Lord of Lingtian City is so enthusiastic towards Luo Chen.

And this jade slip was delivered to the hands of Lingtian City Lord before Luo Chen returned.

Stroking the smooth jade slip, City Lord Lingtian couldn't help but frown.

"Since the ancestor is so concerned about Luo Chen, why not just capture him and bring him back to Mingyuan Sect for interrogation?"

"You value his talent and are impressed by his attainments in alchemy. Do you want to train the next alchemy saint for Mingyuan Sect?"

"Shouldn't we move faster?"

"Is it because the ancestor is too busy to help, or is it because he is concerned about the identity of the Star Gate guest?"

After some thought, Lord Lingtian City was puzzled.

After arranging all the bamboo slips, he suddenly laughed out loud.

"Why bother with all this? Such an interesting person is much better to deal with than these lifeless peers in Donghuang!"

……

Unlike the many homeless small forces in Lingtian Pass, although Luotian Sect is not considered a top Nascent Soul Sect, it also has a separate base.

That was Fenghua Palace, a place specially arranged for Luo Tianzong.

Not big, but not small either.

Within the hundred-li territory, there are mountains, rivers, and even exotic flowers and plants.

Of course, this arrangement is not free. In the spiritual land called "Bai Li Qingchuan", most of the plants are spiritual medicines. Luo Tianzong's mission here is to help Fenghua Palace take care of these spiritual medicines and hand them in regularly.

Luo Tianzong has this ability, after all, he started out by refining pills and growing medicines in his early years.

On the cloud chariot, Qu Lingjun knelt in front of Luo Chen, with his head on the ground, and remained silent for a long time.

After listening to his general account of the incident, Luo Chen also fell silent.

After a long while, he said quietly, "So, after I left, you abandoned your wife and children, betrayed the sect, and joined another sect?"

Every word seemed to pierce the heart, penetrating straight into the man's heart and lungs.

Qu Lingjun trembled all over and bowed his head heavily.

"It's all true. Lingjun is unfilial and has humiliated Luo Tian. Please, Master, let me die!" Gu Caiyi, who was standing next to him, said quickly, "Husband, no!"

Luo Chen looked over.

Gu Caiyi sighed, "It's not Lingjun's fault. When the Luotian Sect was on the run, people were in disarray. It happened that Fairy Fengyue from Fenghua Palace passed by with her people, and she offered to take Lingjun away. Although Lingjun insisted on following Fairy Fengyue and left at that time, we later found out that he just wanted to find a way out for us."

"Over the years, Lingjun has secretly funded Luotian Sect with a large number of cultivation resources, especially in terms of elixirs. The reason why our Luotian Sect has been able to produce so many talents after a hundred years of hardship is that Lingjun has made great contributions."

"Especially, he actually managed to secure this sacred land of Baili Qingchuan for us, so that we don't have to live under someone else's roof."

Although they were both under the control of the Yuanying Sect, it was different from the time in the Five Elements Domain. At least in the Fenghua Domain, the Luotian Sect was self-reliant and had a certain degree of independence.

Even if he flees again in the future, he will not be in a passive situation where he is held hostage by the Five Elements Divine Sect.

In response to Gu Caiyi's plea, Luo Chen looked at Qu Lingjun again.

"Is what your master's wife said true?"

Qu Lingjun choked up and said, "It is true. But Lingjun disturbed the hearts of the people in the sect, causing many people to privately criticize him, and even fled from Luotian Sect. It is also true. Master..."

"Let's talk about your business later!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, and Qu Lingjun was lifted up by a magical force.

Then, Luo Chen stood up and walked out.

"Baili Qingchuan, we're here."

……

The Luotian Sect does not have the same ultra-long-distance communication capabilities as the Mingyuan Sect, so Luo Chen's return is still unknown to those who remain at the mountain gate.

This day.

Above the Baili Qingchuan River, a magnificent cloud chariot came speeding from afar.

When they arrived at the sect's territory, their speed suddenly slowed down.

The low-level cultivators who were busy in the medicine field couldn't help but raise their heads and look curiously at the slowly flying cloud chariot.

Three elements and three flowers, with cloud patterns all over.

The three-color long sail of blue, black, and white is on one side, and the three-color long sail of purple, gold, and red contrasts with each other on the other side.

On the roof of the car, Ruyi beaded panels are scattered all over, flowing ribbons and flying sleeves hang down, and a noble five-color canopy stands high.

The surroundings of the large chariot are also paved with white jade, shining with golden light.

Even the six wheels below were quite extraordinary, with eighteen spokes running vertically and horizontally, all coated with gold powder.

Even when flying, the three phantoms of dragons rode the clouds and mist, showing their divine power.

"Whose big shot's car is this? It's so gorgeous?"

"The monks of Fenghua Palace like luxury. Could they be someone from the upper sect?"

"It could also be from the Five Elements Divine Sect!"

"The fourth day of the Ten Finals is almost over. Someone is coming now. Could it be to announce the result?"

When the last guess came out, everyone's heart was lifted.

Some with more violent tempers took out their magical weapons and prepared for battle.

At this moment, a man flew out from the cloud chariot and rushed towards the only green mountain in the Baili Qingchuan like an arrow.

Someone passed him by.

"Yilong, what happened?"

Zeng Yilong did not slow down at all, and just replied: "Uncle Li, the Grand Elder is back!"

The middle-aged monk was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

But soon, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he rushed towards the cloud chariot without caring about the lack of his magic power.

When he got in front of it, he seemed a little hesitant.

Fu Jiusheng, who was standing on the outside, smiled at him and was about to say something when he heard a gentle laugh.

"Is it Yingzhang?"

Familiar voice!
Li Yingzhang swallowed subconsciously, then straightened his clothes and got on the cloud chariot.

"Li Yingzhang, welcome back the Grand Elder!"

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sky is bright and clear, and the bells are ringing.

Outside a cave in Daqing Mountain.

The woman, with a flushed face, patted the cave door excitedly.

"Master, he's back!"

Inside the cave, a woman wearing a veil suddenly opened her eyes.

The whole person rushed to the gate like a meteor.

But just as she was about to open the cave, her steps stopped involuntarily.

"really?"

"It must be true. Zeng Yilong told me personally. He even rang the bell. Now all the disciples have been summoned to prepare to welcome him. Master, you..."

"Mingyue, you go first! I won't go."

"Uh... Master, you are his Taoist partner, how can you not go?"

The woman raised her hand, covered her arm with a black veil, then subconsciously touched her cheek covered by the veil, and shook her head.

"It's not convenient for me, you go first. You are the current leader of Luotian Sect, you must be there, don't be late."

Yao Mingyue was puzzled, but listening to the increasingly urgent bell sounds, she finally left.

After she left, the woman sighed and murmured:
"It'll be good if you come back, it'll be good if you come back."

At the sound of the bell, human figures gathered like a river, converging from all directions of Baili Qingchuan.

Yao Mingyue put on her most formal clothes and stood in front of the crowd.

Amid the puzzled looks of the three hundred disciples, he bowed to greet them.

"Yao Mingyue, welcome back the Grand Elder!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

At this moment, a tremendous pressure slowly spread out.

It is majestic but not sharp, and its atmosphere is extremely gentle.

It's like the power of heaven, and more like a spring breeze.

It was as if there was a kind old man watching them.

Everyone realized something and stretched their necks, widened their eyes, and stared at the cloud chariot that was emitting brilliant light.

One by one, the monks walked out, lined up in two rows, and greeted each other politely.

Among those people, there was the highly respected Fu Jiusheng, Min Longyu whose hair had turned white for the sect, and Chu Kui, the Tiankuizi who had made many achievements in battle.

The rising star Yang Ping is among them.

Li Yingzhang, who has become very famous recently, got on the cloud chariot at some point and stood respectfully aside.

Then, a man with a tall and straight figure, like a sword drawn from its sheath, slowly walked out.

No one noticed Gu Caiyi and Qu Lingjun standing on both sides of him. Everyone's attention was focused on those eyes that were like the rotation of the sun, moon and stars.

The portrait of Luo Chen has been enshrined in the ancestral hall.

Everyone who enters the sect remembers that face.

Even though a hundred years have passed, it is still engraved in my heart.

It's him!

It’s indeed him!

Yao Mingyue spoke again.

"All Luotian cultivators, welcome the return of the Grand Elder!"

This time, everyone responded in unison. Even the voices of a hundred people sounded like thunder.

Luo Chen looked at this scene and nodded slightly.

With just one sentence “I’m back”, all the shouts stopped.

In his heart, he felt quite emotional. The Luotian Sect, which once had thousands of disciples at its peak, now only had these three hundred disciples left.

It's really not the right time for me to leave!

Suddenly.

His eyes narrowed.

"Where is Hui Niang?"
