Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 803 The Sleeping Ice Beauty
A long light blue satin dress, the gauze was as light as clouds, hanging down to the ground.

As the woman knelt down, the water began to flow like a stream.

The slender waist is gently bound by a belt of the same color, showing that the waist is slender and can be held in one hand.

The former arrogance and indifference disappeared, leaving only a slight feeling of humiliation.

Once upon a time, she was a high and mighty ruthless fairy, and the other party was just a small foundation-building cultivator who struggled out of the wilderness.

In the Binglan Palace, when they met for the first time, he didn't even have the courage to look up at her.

But now, things have changed and times have changed.

With her status reversed, she was no longer a heartless and unloving fairy, but a young golden elixir seeker who needed help from others.

But the other party was the unattainable and famous alchemy master even among the top powers!
Under normal circumstances, given her personality, she wouldn't want to establish such a relationship even if they never had anything to do with each other again.

Most of the things between her and Luo Chen were transactions, and there was no grudge or hatred between them.

If we really want to make a fuss about it, it was basically that she once ordered the monks of Luotian Sect to go to the Jilei Mountain battlefield, which once caused Luotian Sect to suffer heavy losses.

Considering Luo Chen's vengeful character and the way he led his men to attack the Yan League, she would most likely be humiliated on this trip.

But there are some things that she must do, even if there is only a glimmer of chance!
So, she mustered up the courage to come!
The surrounding environment was quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the rustling of the woman's clothes against the ground as her body trembled slightly.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

In that heavy and subtle atmosphere, an invisible force suddenly fell on the woman.

Before Fairy Jueqing could react, Luo Chen's voice was heard.

"You and I are old friends. It's not easy to meet each other. Why do you have to act like this?"

With the help of magic power, Fairy Jueqing stood up uncontrollably.

As the feeling of humiliation in my heart gradually faded away, I couldn't help but be shocked by the other party's strength.

Is this the power of a Yuanying Zhenren? He actually had no chance to resist.

She raised her head and met Luo Chen's smiling eyes.

As young as he was back then, but there was a hint of vicissitudes in his eyes.

Not daring to look the other person in the eye, the heartless fairy lowered her head slightly and opened her lips slightly.

"You are now the famous Dan Sect, busy with affairs of state, with little time to spare. It is a favor that you are willing to see me, how can I not understand the etiquette?"

These words are full of human wisdom.

But it was obvious that the other party was not good at saying such things.

Therefore, her speech was discontinuous and the emphasis was unclear, and those who were not aware might think she was being sarcastic.

Luo Chen chuckled, knowing the other person's character well and not finding fault with him.

He sat down casually on the chair next to him and asked:
"I heard from Xiaoliu that when the beast tide surged out of the Great Snow Mountain, the Ice Castle was severely damaged and almost wiped out. Only a few people survived?"

The heartless fairy trembled, and the scene from that year seemed to appear in her eyes.

She nodded painfully.

"Ice Castle wasn't that strong to begin with, but in order to help Senior Sister Canglong achieve Nascent Soul stage, he even used up most of his Golden Core strength."

"In order to start a war, our sect intends to help Yunhe Zhenren from Hehuan Sect, and has invested a lot of manpower and resources."

"When the beasts poured out from the Great Snow Mountain, the Ice Castle was destroyed in an instant."

"Even though I later gathered a lot of my fellow disciples, after a hundred years, there are only about ten people left around me."

After listening to her story, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh.

The former Ice Castle was considered a powerful faction within the Jindan Sect.

The nine great golden elixirs monopolize the northern border of Yuding.

He has tens of thousands of monks and many vassal states under his command.

Even his Luotian Sect was once a vassal of the Ice Castle.

But in the face of the general trend, it is still fragile, and has now fallen to the tragic scale of only a dozen big and small cats and dogs.

Rather than saying that the Jueqing Fairies still hold the name of Ice Castle, it is better to say that they are just a group of casual cultivators who huddle together for warmth.

And this is the consequence of a powerful force without a Nascent Soul Master in charge.

Luo Tian Sect has him in charge now, but when the East Wilderness demon army arrives in the future, their strength will surely be a thousand times greater than the beast tide of the Great Snow Mountain.

How much better is Luotian Sect than Ice Castle?

Luo Chen didn't dare to think about it too much, as the mood of reuniting with old friends was almost dampened by the tragedy in the Ice Castle.

"Xiao Liu said you wanted me to save someone?"

Luo Chen took the initiative to mention the purpose of his visit, which made Fairy Jueqing happy.

She was afraid that the other party would beat around the bush and deliberately avoid talking about it.

Taking a deep breath, Fairy Jueqing solemnly took out a jade box from her storage bag.

There were several talismans tightly pasted on the box.

"I know that other real people would have to pay you a high price if they wanted to help you. So I made some inquiries and used my life savings to exchange for a ray of Xiao Qi. I hope you are satisfied."

Luo Chen took a quick look with his spiritual sense and shook his head.

The thing in the jade box was indeed a wisp of celestial energy, but it was not one of the three celestial energies that he wanted at all.

However, this situation is very normal. Fairy Jueqing is only a Jindan cultivator, and it is difficult for her to find out the communication between them, the Yuanying Zhenren.

Moreover, Xiaoqi is the spiritual essence of the Nine Heavens. Only Yuanying Zhenren can force his way to Qingming to collect it, and its value is incomparable.

It's not easy for the other party to spend so much effort to get a ray of light.

Therefore, he was very curious about who the other party wanted to save.
"You may not understand, but when I deal with my peers, I always consider the difficulty of the task first, and then discuss the reward."

"Besides, I may not be able to save the person you want to save."

"So let's first understand the specific situation!"

"Who are you trying to save?"

The previous words made Fairy Jueqing's already fair complexion even paler.

Fortunately, Luo Chen asked about the situation at the end, and she no longer hesitated and stretched out her hand.

A miniature castle appeared between her palms.

Luo Chen's eyes focused. It was the Ice Castle's inherited magic weapon - the Moonlight Ice Castle!
However, it was different from the quick glimpse I took at the Snow Mountain that year. At this moment, three of the nine layers of the Moonlight Ice Castle were gone, and the remaining six layers were full of spots.

There are cracks caused by the impact of water and fire, the combined power of metal and stone, and even traces of being struck by thunder and lightning.

A top-grade magic weapon of the generation has fallen to this state.

As the magic power flowed, the small castle gradually expanded.

When it was about two meters wide, a door slowly opened.

The Fairy Jueqing looked nervous and struggled to use her magic power to control the ice castle.

Her method was not very skillful, and it was obvious that she had not truly mastered this magic weapon, so it was so difficult.

But even so, something finally appeared in the portal.

An ice coffin filled with cold air!

Swish!
Luo Chen stood up and his eyes fell on the person in the ice coffin.

Lifelike, and as gentle as it was back then.

Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was in great pain.

This sleeping ice beauty is none other than the old friend whom Luo Chen has missed many times.

"Cang Long... Senior Sister."

Boom!
The Moonlight Ice Castle fell to the ground, but the ice coffin was still hanging in the air.

However, this time it was Luo Chen's magic power that supported the ice coffin and prevented it from falling.

Fairy Jueqing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Only the sect leader and the supreme elder of their sect had the ability to control the Moonlight Ice Castle, but Canglong was asleep, and the former sect leader Bingpo had already died.

Without the knowledge of the method, it was a great burden for her to control it by force. Seeing Luo Chen staring at the ice coffin in a daze, Fairy Jueqing explained: "Senior sister failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage by force, and her spirit, energy and soul were all damaged. Fortunately, she was helped by Han Zhan, the Grand Master of Luoyun Sect, who used secret techniques to gather the remaining soul and used our sect's treasure coffin to preserve her body, so she has been able to survive until now."

Luo Chen pursed his lips. What he said was exactly the same as what Han Zhan had talked to him about back then. There was no difference at all.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this treasured coffin stored in the forbidden area of ​​​​the Ice Castle can keep Senior Sister Canglong alive for hundreds of years. We only need to wait for a Yuanying Zhenren to emerge from our sect, and perhaps we can rescue her."

"But the ice castle was destroyed, and the treasured coffin no longer has the ten thousand years of profound ice to nourish it. The effectiveness of protecting Senior Sister's body has been greatly reduced."

"According to my estimation, the treasured coffin will become ineffective in a few decades at most. By then, if Senior Sister reappears under the sky, I'm afraid she will die in an instant."

Luo Chen held his hand above the ice coffin, and he already had an idea in his mind.

This ice coffin is not some magic weapon or real artifact, but a piece of extremely fine black ice that has existed for thousands of years. Assisted by an array formation, it has the effect of preserving the body from decay and isolating it from the erosion of external spiritual energy.

Without the assistance of the icy environment, this coffin will not last long.

"Have you ever asked anyone for treatment?" Luo Chen asked.

The Fairy Jueqing shook her head, "No."

"Why?"

"Don't dare!"

While Luo Chen was puzzled, Fairy Jueqing whispered, "In today's situation, people's hearts are full of evil, and no one can be trusted. Moreover, Senior Sister has a different physique. If she falls into the hands of villains, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Is there a difference in physique?" Luo Chen frowned.

Fairy Jueqing hesitated for a moment, then said with a stiff upper lip: "I didn't know about this at first. Later, the Hehuan Sect was destroyed by a powerful demon king, and I happened to meet a Jindan cultivator from the Hehuan Sect who escaped. When I was fighting with him, I learned that the reason why Master Yunhe chose Bingbao as his partner to open up the Great Snow Mountain was actually because he was concerned about my physique. However, Master Han was protecting me at that time, so the other party couldn't attack me openly."

Luo Chen frowned even more tightly. Are there so many inside stories?

I haven't heard Han Zhan mention it either!
Looking at the woman with slightly frowned brows in the ice coffin, Luo Chen became a little impatient.

"What kind of constitution is it?"

At this point, Fairy Jueqing seemed to have given up.

She stopped being shy and said directly, "Senior Sister Canglong has a body with seven orifices. In addition to the sea of ​​qi, there is another heart orifice that can store huge magic power. Even after she failed to break through the Nascent Soul, her realm has never fallen, and her magic power is still not inferior to those who have reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core! So Master Han Zhan strengthened her soul, and our sect used an ice coffin to protect her body, but we are not worried about her magic power."

"This exquisite body with seven orifices not only makes the cultivator naturally intelligent and powerful, but also has another special feature, which is that when practicing with others, it can forcibly improve the other person's realm!"

"Master Yunhe saw this point, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the war in the Great Snow Mountain to annex my Ice Castle and then try to attack my sister."

"Senior sister never married. Even when she was facing an outstanding man like Han Zhan, she remained chaste. She was afraid of sinking into depravity and becoming someone else's cauldron."

Luo Chen was dumbfounded.

I never expected that there would be such a complicated inside story.

I used to think that Senior Sister Canglong and Han Zhan had a different relationship. The former helped him practice the "Soul-Splitting Technique" in advance when he was building his foundation, and the latter was not afraid of the threat of the White Bone Mystic Snake and helped Canglong to forcibly overcome the tribulation, but the two of them just didn't get together.

Han Zhan explained that Bingbao focused on training Canglong and did not allow her to marry outside the family, and he himself was proud of his talent, so he did not force fate.

But if you think about it carefully, Ice Castle has never had any regulations in this regard.

Fairy Jueqing had a Taoist partner before.

Didn’t his disciple Shi Lan also have a daughter with Xu Xiaoliu of Luo Tian Sect?

Now it seems that it was Senior Sister Canglong who rejected Han Zhan.

Of course, Luo Chen didn't want to delve into the real situation.

He looked at the ice coffin with a thoughtful expression.

"According to what you said, Senior Sister has a special physique that can forcibly improve a person's realm."

"You are also worried that her body will fall into the hands of scoundrels. That means even in her deep sleep, her body is still..."

"Luo Chen!"

Before she finished her words, the Fairy Jueqing made a sharp sound.

He even called Luo Chen by his name.

Luo Chen looked over coldly.

The heartless fairy stretched her neck and looked at him, but gradually she could no longer bear the pressure and drops of cold sweat oozed out of her fair face.

She opened her mouth and said with difficulty: "I am looking for you because we have a connection, and my sister treated you very well back then. Now your Dan Sect is well-known, just like the reputation of Huo Lingjun back then, so I believe in you."

"If you are not satisfied with the reward of the Heavenly Qi, if you still resent me for forcing the Luo Tian Sect to go to the battlefield, I... I... I am willing to..."

When she spoke the last part, the woman could hardly speak, and her thin lips seemed to be bitten through.

"No need to say more, I saved her!"

Luo Chen stretched out his hand and waved, and the ice castle that had fallen on the ground suddenly flew up.

The various remaining traces of spiritual consciousness inside were reduced to ashes in an instant.

The Moonlight Ice Castle fell into his hands, and Luo Chen immediately learned the manipulation skills of this treasure with his rich experience in refining equipment.

Like the Hunyuan Ding, this treasure contains the ability to store space, so it can accommodate Canglong's body.

Fairy Jueqing seemed a little dazed, because of Luo Chen's words and because she was interrupted.

She stared at Luo Chen blankly, as if waiting for him to finish his words.

However, Luo Chen just smiled.

"Senior Sister Canglong was very kind to me back then. Saving her is my duty. Why should I ask for any reward?"

"Just let her stay with me. I will find a way to cure her."

The words are sincere and the smile is warm.

Those deep eyes were now open and honest, without the slightest pretense.

The woman was a little caught off guard, but the answer seemed expected.

She took a deep breath and bowed to Luo Chen.

"Gu Xiaorou thanks the real person!"

……

The heartless fairy left.

But it's only temporary.

After Luo Chen learned about the current situation of the remaining monks in Ice Castle, he asked Xu Xiaoliu to find Yang Pingdu and ask Yang Pingdu to recruit the female disciples of Ice Castle in the name of Luo Chen so that it would be easier to take care of them.

After she left, Luo Chen curled his lips.

Although the Fairy Jueqing looks weak today, she is actually still as powerful as she was before!

In their words, they were using the "flaw" of Luo Chen's love of fame to provoke him.

It can be imagined that if Luo Chen did not save Canglong, or had any intentions towards Canglong's physical body, Fairy Jueqing might go all out to ruin his reputation.

This is not a good thing for Luo Chen.

His current reputation can help him make more connections and fight against the old man of the Five Elements Divine Sect in the future. It can also make him more important in the eyes of the Mingyuan Sect. Even if he wants to investigate the old things of Cangwu Mountain in the future, he must take Luo Chen's alchemy ability into consideration.

So, you can’t have a bad reputation!
and!

Luo Chen's gaze fell on the ice coffin in front of him that he had re-cast the formation on, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

Senior Sister Canglong was really nice to him back then.

He used the forbidden land of Ice Castle to help him refine the True Fire of Withering and Flourishing, told him the experience of forming the elixir, and made him understand the strengths and weaknesses of his own qualifications.

It can be said that Senior Sister Canglong has made a great contribution to Luo Chen’s current level of cultivation.

The most important thing is that Senior Sister Canglong is one of the few people who truly helps him but does not have any big intentions!
Along the way, Luo Chen met many "noble people".

But whether it was Mi Shuhua, the Jueqing Fairy, or Han Zhan and Fu Chaosheng, they all seemed friendly to him, but in fact they all had ulterior motives.

Either they are greedy for his ability of alchemy, or they covet his physical body, or they want to make him lose fifty years of his lifespan.

Only Canglong just wanted to establish a good relationship with him.

As his palm stroked the cold coffin lid, Luo Chen showed a sincere smile on his face.

"I'll wake up!"
