Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 787: Holy Land Certification, Luotian Sect (Thanks to the Silver Alliance Flagship Crazy Store for the huge reward!)
At the bottom of Daqing Mountain, rock formations are crisscrossed.

Water vapor from the Black Water River seeped in, forming water droplets on the rock strata.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Sima Wenjie suddenly woke up from his dream, and everything he saw was still dark.

His magic power was locked, and even though he was physically strong, he still felt extremely cold in this dark underground and because of the depressed mood in his heart.

He tightened the thin blanket around him and listened carefully.

Then he subconsciously walked towards the prison fence.

laugh!
A glimmer of light appeared!
Sima Wenjie was forced to retreat, and at the same time a scornful voice was heard from outside.

"Stay still, you don't think you can escape the formation set up by Elder Min himself!"

Faced with the disdain and contempt in those words, Sima Wenjie felt a pang in his heart, but he recognized the other person's voice.

"Lou Ying? It's your turn to guard me today."

A ray of light appeared, and the hunched Lou Ying, holding the night-shining pearl, slowly walked to the prison entrance. A shadow almost covered Sima Wenjie.

"I didn't expect you still remember me."

Sima Wenjie looked at the face full of wrinkles and a trace of hideous claw marks and sighed, "How could I not recognize you? When you were in charge of the outer sect, you had the most disciples and the most things to do. In the Merit Hall that I was in charge of, you were the one I dealt with the most. Even if your face is completely ruined, I can still recognize you."

Lou Ying touched his face, which was full of the vicissitudes of life, and chuckled softly.

"Outer gate?"

After so many years of fleeing, the outer sect of Luotian Sect had long since disappeared. Even if there were any outer sect disciples still alive, they had basically been absorbed into the ranks of the elders.

As a rare outer sect elder in the foundation-building stage in Luotian Sect, he had some free time.

However, the more free people are, the more they like to think about the past.

Thinking about how so many outer disciples died in front of him, all for the sake of preserving Luo Tian Sect, while the man in front of him, who was in a high position, was instead thinking of handing over Luo Tian Sect to outsiders.

Lou Ying particularly looked down on Sima Wenjie.

Faced with the gaze that was as if he was looking at an animal, Sima Wenjie accepted it calmly.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong.

I don't want to argue with anyone.

In other words, I don't want to argue with ordinary people.

At this moment, he raised his head and looked far outside the dungeon.

"It seems, very lively?"

"Of course it's lively. Today is the day when the Grand Elder will hold the Infant Formation Ceremony. All the real people from the five regions have been invited. There is nothing more lively in our Luotian Sect than this!"

Lou Ying's voice got louder and he said with a proud look on his face.

Even his hunched back seemed to straighten a little.

This is what it means to be honored!
Sima Wenjie's face changed slightly. "He just came back from outside and has no influence in the East Desert. How could he possibly invite so many Yuanying Zhenren? I'm afraid you are exaggerating!"

Lou Ying glanced at him with disdain.

"You are a frog in a well, how can you know the majesty of the Grand Elder?"

"So that you know, yesterday evening, Xianhe Zhenren from Baihe Sect had already arrived in Baili Qingchuan in advance. This morning, before the ceremony started, the Grand Palace Master of Fenghua Palace arrived at Daqing Mountain. Just now, the leader of Baishou Sect and Zhenren Mu from Mu Mansion came hand in hand. This is only a part of it, and there will be more Yuanying Zhenren coming later, and even the Lord of Lingtian City will come to congratulate us!"

Sima Wenjie's eyes were dull as he listened to the names that were usually well-known to him.

How could that man have such a great influence!

He was clearly not in the Eastern Wilds, but as soon as he came back, so many fellow Taoists came up to him eagerly.

In a trance, the scenes of Luo Chen's foundation-building ceremony and the Golden Elixir ceremony in the past appeared before his eyes. Each time was more grand and spectacular than the last. Now, there must be as many Nascent Soul True Immortals as there are two hands to congratulate him.

Could these peasants from Dahefang dare to dream of such a feat?

"Could it be that Second Sister's insistence is right?"

For some reason, Sima Wenjie felt shaken.

……

"This is Master Mu, the Grand Master of the Mu Family, and also the Master of the Mu Mansion."

"Master Mu!" Luo Chen bowed and greeted him with a smile.

The man opposite, dressed elegantly and with a calm demeanor, looked at Luo Chen and couldn't help but admire him, "He is just as the rumors say, young and promising, with profound Taoism! With such grace and demeanor, the strong men in the Holy Land are probably no more than this!"

Indeed, although Luo Chen today is the same person as usual, his demeanor and bearing have changed greatly.

The plain white shirt was replaced with a Yunyang robe with gold edges and silver patterns, which was equally elegant yet noble.

The dark long hair that had been hanging down her back for a hundred years in Beihai, tied up only with a hairpin, was combed up by Gu Caiyi's deft hands today. The hair on both sides was combed back, and on top of her head was a tall red gold crown with a black jade hairpin inserted horizontally.

At a glance, I felt that the man in front of me had strong features and deep contours.

Noble yet domineering!
It's so sharp that people dare not look directly at it!

This is what is meant by "clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse."

In the past, Luo Chen didn't care about his manners and didn't pay much attention to the pomp and circumstance when traveling, but everything has to change today.

Adhering to Ling Tianguan's domineering style, Luo Chen wants people to know that his style of doing things will remain the same in the future, and will always be the same!
After talking with Master Mu for a few words, Luo Chen, under the guidance of Master Xianhe, met another Nascent Soul expert.

His sleeves were wide open, his chest was covered with hair, and his eyes were as sharp as a tiger or leopard.

"This is the Grand Elder of the Hundred Beast Sect, Qin Baiming!"

When introducing this person, Master Xianhe looked unhappy.

Qin Baiming seemed not to see it, but stared at Luo Chen with a smile.

"Yes, it is indeed quite impressive, but I wonder if what is said on the invitation is true?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, please wait and see!"

He did not communicate with them much, but under the guidance of Master Xianhe, he got to know new friends who were completely strangers but whose names he had heard many times when he was young.

Master Mu from the Mu Mansion and Qin Baiming from the Hundred Beasts Sect.

Master Li of Wanjian Pavilion.

If Xianhe and Fenghua were included, he basically knew all the indigenous real people in the five frontline areas.

The remaining Yuanying Zhenren are even more interesting.

The Master Fu from the Shenfu Sect whom I knew before.

Lin Qingxuan of Yuding Sword Sect.

The divine fire and golden feathers of the Five Elements Divine Sect.

These were the survivors of the six regions of the Far East, no, seven regions. Tianfan was destroyed, Luoyun was wiped out, Yaowang Sect disappeared, and Hehuan Sect was attacked by someone. These three were the only ones left to survive.

Then there was Xiao Shiniang, the lord of the Fireworks Ancient Island, who was relatively unfamiliar to Luo Chen.

The supreme elder of Jiuling Sect, Jiuling Yuanjun.

Piao Miao Sect’s Grand Elder Ling Fengzi.

The origins of these three people, or these three families, are roughly the same as those of the magic talisman and jade tripod, and can all be summarized as "dogs that have lost their homes."

Now, before the five domains, twelve domains have been lost and three domains are in a state of war.

The Fireworks Ancient Island, Nine Spirits, and Piaomiao were all the former overlords of the Twelve Lost Domains. Now, these three families were arranged to live in the other three of the Five Domains, and became dependents.

However, when Luo Chen met them, his attitude remained the same as before, without any change.

To be honest, isn't he also a lost dog?
Everyone felt sympathy and empathy for each other.

Xiao Shiniang was a person who could not restrain her temper. After getting to know each other, she asked directly about the things on the invitation.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, you said that you can refine hundreds of pills and master everything. Is that true?"

There was indeed such a sentence on the invitation.

In other words, it was precisely because of this sentence that so many Yuanying powerhouses who had never met him before came from far away to participate in his Yuanying ceremony.

As soon as this question was asked, all eyes in Luotian Palace in Daqing Mountain were cast towards Luo Chen.

Most of them were skeptical.

Only Zhenren Xianhe stood behind Luo Chen, smiling without saying a word.

Although the Grand Palace Master of Fenghua Palace knew about Luo Chen's ability in alchemy, he was still skeptical at this moment.

Refining hundreds of pills, mastering everything!

This tone is a bit too much!
The Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation involve every detail of the immortal cultivator's pursuit of the great way.

Among the hundreds of arts, alchemy is the most important.

This is an old saying, and it is also the truth passed down from mouth to mouth by the largest number of low-level cultivators.

But in fact, as one's personal realm rises, the auxiliary effect of elixirs becomes less obvious.

Especially when they have reached the Nascent Soul stage, the efficiency of taking pills is much lower than that of meditating on the spiritual veins for a long time.

Moreover, there are very few high-level elixirs suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators, and even fewer alchemists capable of refining them.

Due to various factors, the dilemma has been created where the higher the realm, the lower the status of alchemy!
but!

This situation only applies to mediocre people. If there is someone who can refine a fourth-level elixir or even a fifth-level elixir, he will still be a noble and prominent person no matter where he goes.

Just like the Alchemy Saint Chu Yan!
And, there is another point.

In this case, it depends on the period.

With the monsters causing chaos and no one being able to survive, a group of stray dogs don't even have a place to live, so how can they have high-level spiritual veins with rich spiritual energy? If they are constantly fighting, it is impossible for them to practice meditation.

Low-level cultivators can still use the terrifying resources that erupt during the demonic chaos to reach higher realms.

But for someone as strong as Nascent Soul, those resources are no match for the stable and abundant high-level spiritual veins.

During the hundred years of demonic chaos in the Eastern Wilderness, few of those present here have ever enjoyed a quiet day of retreat and cultivation.

Many people were forced to stagnate in their realm.

Therefore, during this period and under this situation, without relying on spiritual places, one can take the elixir of practice at any time, and one's status will be elevated again.

Why was Qu Lingjun chosen by Fenghua Palace?
Why does the old ghost Motian covet Luotian Sect?
How could the Medicine King Sect, which was once extremely wealthy and proudly stood in the six regions of the Far East, and was even famous in the thirty-six regions of the Eastern Wasteland, be destroyed by the attack of monsters?
All these things are because the elixir is so attractive!
Therefore, when Luo Chen wrote the words "mastery of refining hundreds of elixirs" on the invitations to various families, even the Nascent Soul Masters who had never known him were tempted.

Just a simple sentence, but it reveals great confidence!

Anyone who can have such accomplishments is definitely not an ordinary alchemist, but a master of alchemy... no, a great master of alchemy, or even a saint of alchemy!
Especially, he wrote that sentence on the invitation. Doesn't the hidden meaning mean that he is willing to help people make a panacea?
The attainments of the great master of alchemy are something that people yearn to curry favor with.

And the willingness to make elixirs for others is the main factor that makes the invited guests come without hesitation!
Facing everyone's eager gazes, Luo Chen smiled slightly and was about to say something when he suddenly raised his eyebrows.

A thin man in a golden robe in the hall suddenly said, "A distinguished guest has arrived!"

Luo Chen glanced at the man, waved his sleeves, and went out of the hall to greet him.

Behind him, the thin man in the golden robe looked at Luo Chen's back and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Divine Fire, Luo Chen's alchemy ability, is it true or false?"

The divine consciousness of True Man Shenhuo reached his ears quickly.

"I think it's true. When he was young, he was famous in Yuding Territory for his alchemy. He even had a Taoist name called Danchenzi. Jin Ling, didn't we talk about this topic before we came here? Why are you asking again?"

Master Jin Ling had a calm expression, but there was a hint of gloom in the corners of his eyes.

"You and I have both underestimated the influence of the Grand Master of Alchemy on those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage!"

Shenhuo was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Just now, everyone's enthusiastic response to Luo Chen and their flattering words were really not what one should have when meeting a stranger.

If Luo Chen is not bragging, but really has the level of a grand master of alchemy, as long as he is willing to show kindness to this world, then this world will surely give him unimaginable rewards!

The low-level monks were madly following him and his name was widely known.

Yuanying cultivators would flatter and curry favor with others, and would never intentionally offend them. If there were someone who had received Luo Chen's favor, once Luo Chen ran into trouble, how many Yuanying True Immortals would run around and work hard for him at his command?
It can even be said that the sacred places of the gods that hang over the heads of the thousands of sects in the Mountain and Sea Realm do not mind casting a condescending gaze upon Luo Chen and inviting him to be their guest of honor.

Just like the former Eastern Wasteland Alchemy Saint!

And Luo Chen is clearly doing this now!

Publicize your own abilities, show your willingness to make elixirs for others, and enhance your own momentum.

Once this trend becomes a reality, what will the Five Elements Divine Sect use to deal with Luo Chen?
Just the group of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Luotian Palace and the forces behind them combined would be enough to give the Five Elements Divine Sect a hard time.

If Luo Chen's reputation really spreads, how many powerful people in the Eastern Wasteland will come here to serve him? His Five Elements Divine Sect is afraid...

"Whether it's true or not, we have to stop his momentum first."

Jin Ling narrowed his eyes and said so.

Outside the hall, there was already loud singing of rituals.

This first sentence surprised everyone.

"The Mingyuan Sect gave the Luotian Sect the method of making spirit stones!"

It is neither a gift nor an offer, but a reward from a superior position.

It stands to reason that it is not suitable for today's atmosphere, but it depends on who the prefix is?

Mingyuan Sect of the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land!
Everyone present knew exactly what the method of making spirit stones meant.

This is not a method that can be obtained by achieving the Nascent Soul realm. Instead, it is a method that can only be obtained with the permission of the Holy Land, allowing one to wage a war of opening up and establish the power of the Nascent Soul sect.

Many of them have experienced or understood this scene, and understand its meaning.

Today, this small Luotian Sect huddled in Baili Qingchuan has become a Nascent Soul Sect on par with them in terms of standards!

They no longer care about what gifts will be given in the future.

The only things in sight were the two people who walked into the hall at the same time and were talking happily to each other.

Ye Lingtian, the lord of Lingtian City.

Luo Tian Tai Shang Luo Chen.

"Master Luo, congratulations!"

"Although your clan is in a difficult situation for the time being, all of your disciples are of noble character and outstanding demeanor. Given time, they will surely flourish and show the glory of your clan."

"Although the monsters are powerful now, they are not as powerful as our human race. We can counterattack and start a new journey to gain one or two blessed lands for Luo Tian Sect. Isn't that wonderful!"

Amidst the congratulations, Luo Chen smiled and bowed to express his gratitude.

Then, after exchanging polite words with the Lord of Lingtian City, he sat in the main seat at the top.

Glancing at everyone in the hall, Luo Chen's face was filled with smiles.

"Everyone is almost here, let's start the banquet!"
