Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 832: Thunder Tribulation, the Immortal Mirror

The better the quality of the magic weapon, the longer it can be nurtured.

This is true for the Xuanchen Armor and the Youmang Whip.

Only the Hunyuan Ding, because it was injected with a drop of Demon Lord Liantian's blood, was born early and lacked the process of nurturing to perfection.

This is an advantage, but the disadvantages are also very obvious.

That is, Luo Chen later spent more than a hundred years in the North Sea to completely refine the impurities within it.

You have to develop all kinds of functions by yourself, bit by bit, which is quite troublesome.

The Mirror of Conscience is different. It needs to be used after it is practiced well, so one cannot rush for quick results. Therefore, after Luo Chen refined the embryo, he nurtured it for another two years.

At this point, everything is ready!
Sitting cross-legged in front of the Hunyuan Ding, Luo Chen rhythmically released magical powers, preparing to take the treasure.

The true fire of withering and flourishing gradually died out, and the precious light in the cauldron became more and more blazing.

After three years of using the Jade Emperor Clearing Eyes Liquid, Luo Chen's eyes have gradually become somewhat magical.

The evolution direction of the eyes was somewhat different from what he desired most, but the new eyes were not bad after all.

Based on the original ability to discern the reality and illusion, it has been continuously optimized and gradually acquired the attribute of "breaking illusions".

This is also why the Leopard Demon King, who is good at the art of splitting and transforming himself, is restricted in front of him and cannot bring out his greatest advantage at all.

See through the truth and don’t be confused by changes!
Just right for the current situation.

At this moment, the precious light in the cauldron burned brightly, producing all kinds of strange illusions.

There are white eagles soaring in the sky, hunting leisurely among large groups of fantastic beasts.

There are monks holding valuable treasures, who keep advancing and strangling us, and dangers are emerging one after another.

There was also a man standing on a tripod and holding a sword, making hand gestures and pinching his fingers to intimidate all living beings.

Finally, even in the vast clouds and mist, a huge and vague creature was seen swallowing up the wilderness and evolving the sun, moon and stars.

There are many strange phenomena, and if you fall into any of them, you may miss the best time to obtain the treasure.

But Luo Chen's eyes were burning and he was not moved at all.

Instead, a sudden realization arose in my mind.

"These illusions are the memories of the owner of this illusion core, Bai Diao, before his death. Isn't the man standing on the tripod and holding the sword exactly me?"

"As for that huge blurry creature...it must be the original form of the mirage dragon that evolved into a white eagle."

Even the memories of the Mirage Dragon's original body were traced back, and Luo Chen was even more surprised.

The quality of this mirror of conscience is definitely not low, it should be extremely high!

This is understandable. After all, Luo Chen's weapon refining skills are no longer the same as they were a hundred years ago, and the materials he uses are much more than Xuan Chen Jia.

"Top quality, it must be top quality!"

Just as Luo Chen was expecting and about to use the treasure-getting technique, something strange happened!

scoff!

Suddenly, dark clouds covered the Hunyuan Ding, and wisps of black electric arcs spread out from the thick clouds.

The cloud was not big, and it just covered the Mirror of Conscience that was shining with precious light.

Those dangerous black arcs of electricity kept striking the precious light, causing the Mirror of Conscience to shake.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen's face changed and he instantly thought of something.

The power of thunder!

When he was forming his infant, the last round of thunder he summoned was also the strongest round!
He remembered that the color of that round of thunder was no longer the usual white, but turned into black, and even turned into beastly color, which was extremely dangerous.

At that time, Luo Chen thought that even if he could hold on, he would be seriously injured, not to mention having to deal with Han Zhan's possession of his body later.

Fortunately, after the Hunyuan Ding was promoted to a real weapon, it protected itself spontaneously and forcibly swallowed the black thunder.

Over the years, Luo Chen has always used the power of thunder as a trump card for attacking.

Occasionally, he would have the sudden idea of ​​using it to temper his soul, but he would give up because it was too dangerous.

However, he did not expect that when he was refining the magic weapon at this moment, he would actually trigger the power of thunder.

"It must be that the treasure grade of the Heart-Searching Mirror is too high, and it attracted the power of the thunderbolt."

As soon as Luo Chen realized something, he was about to control the Hunyuan Ding to remove the black lightning.

He has the power!

The Hunyuan Ding was under his control, so the power of thunder and lightning that it absorbed was naturally also under his control.

But just when Luo Chen was about to withdraw the power of the thunder, he suddenly thought of something and hesitated.

How high must the grade of a magic weapon be to be able to attract the power of thunder?
Compared to immortal cultivators, a heavenly calamity will only befall them when they achieve the Nascent Soul stage!
And only when a magic weapon is being upgraded to a real weapon, it needs the help of the Heavenly Thunder Refining Array to evolve its own "meridians".

How similar is the scene at this moment to when Hunyuan Ding and Xuanchen Jia were promoted to real weapons?
In an instant, Luo Chen remembered the records about the refining of real weapons in Fei Yunzi's books.

It doesn't mean that every real weapon is promoted when a cultivator is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.

That would be a real test of the quality of the magic weapon.

After all, not every Jindan Great Perfection cultivator can possess a life-saving magic weapon that has been refined to the ultimate quality.

Some newly promoted Nascent Souls may not have access to real tools for a short period of time.

In fact, most of the time, the real weapon of a Nascent Soul cultivator is to nurture and refine his natal magic weapon little by little after his realm is improved, and then raise it to the perfect level, and then ask the weapon refiner to attract heavenly thunder, so that it can be baptized by heavenly thunder and make the final step of transformation.

The situation is slightly different for the demon clan, where the demon kings will often instinctively choose the best part of their bodies when they reach the third level, and focus on tempering it with their magic power. Then, with the help of the transformation thunder tribulation, they will obtain their own real weapon.

However, these demon-refined weapons are often of similar quality, but their power is not pure enough.

The scorpion tail needle of the lightless beast is such a product. It has the level of a real weapon, but apart from being sharp, it has no additional means.

The poison was added by the stomach sac.

Pulling away, back to the topic.

At this moment, thunder appeared and surrounded the Mirror of Self-Searching. It was almost exactly the same as the method of refining a real weapon recorded in Fei Yunzi's classics.

"So, if I survive this, I might get a real weapon?"

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Chen's heart started pounding.

Licking his dry lips, Luo Chen's eyes shone brightly, staring at the Hunyuan Ding with golden eyes.

"How about a bet?"

"At worst, I can remove the power of the thunderbolt at the critical moment. Even if I fail, I can still get a defective mirror of the heart, which is enough to heal Canglong."

Once this thought came up, I could no longer suppress it.

Especially since Luo Chen could feel that he could withdraw the power of thunder at any time, he had nothing to worry about.

The last spell of the treasure-obtaining technique was not performed for a long time, leaving the cauldron with lightning and thunder and the trembling precious light.

Time passes little by little.

Even though Luo Chen was not in it, cold sweat was oozing out of his forehead.

This was even more terrifying than trying to overcome the tribulation himself.

As the precious light became fainter and fainter, the tattered body of the Mirror of Heart was revealed, and Luo Chen even felt a belated regret in his heart.

Suddenly!

The thunder suddenly disappeared, and a mottled gray-white stone mirror stumbled out from the mouth of the cauldron.

At the same time, a large amount of spiritual energy in the cave began to automatically flow towards the gray-white stone mirror.

Luo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. His meridians were alive and he could breathe in and out. These were the signs of a real weapon.

Looking at the spiritual energy around him, Luo Chen cast a spell, and the formation in the training room was loosened. Suddenly, more trapped rich spiritual energy surged out and was madly absorbed by the stone mirror.

The cracked stone mirror remained mottled as it continued to absorb spiritual energy, but the cracks eventually disappeared.

One day later.

Luo Chen stretched out his hand, and the gray-white stone mirror with residual warmth fell into his hand.

Stroking the mottled mirror, Luo Chen began to feel a sense of fear.

"If the refining materials were not good enough, we would have almost failed."

"I thought that if I succeeded this time, I would use the black lightning in the Primordial Cauldron to refine other magic weapons in my body. Now it seems that I am so bold!" "Even when I was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, I didn't dare to withstand the black lightning, so how can an ordinary magic weapon dare to put itself in danger?"

Luo Chen has already realized that the reason why the Mirror of the Heart was able to succeed is that the main material is the phantom core of a fourth-order mid-stage phantom beast, which is comparable to the mid-stage Nascent Soul level.

Ordinary magic weapons don’t have this kind of background at all!

The fear gradually faded away, and what followed was ecstasy.

He has refined a real weapon!

Even though he relied on top-grade raw materials and the power of thunder collected by chance, he actually created a genuine weapon in his hands.

Such an experience is something that many high-level weapon refiners can only dream of.

Without even having the chance to experience the function of this gray-white stone mirror, Luo Chen quickly opened the attribute panel and took a look.

as predicted!

The entry of [Third-level Equipment Refiner] kept flickering, appearing and disappearing, and gradually changed to [Fourth-level Equipment Refiner].

Luo Chen couldn't help but grin and laugh out loud.

……

In the ice and snow, the peach blossoms were stained with blood, and a fox spirit fell under the sword.

Tossing and turning, hearing the roar of monsters, not knowing where to go?
There is no escape in the bloody storm, and the only way is to use your body as a blade and fight your way out of the chaos.

As the sandalwood incense slowly rose, Luo Chen held the stone mirror in his hand and injected his magic power into it, and a series of illusions were stimulated.

It is so lifelike that it is almost impossible to tell the real thing from the fake.

Opposite him, several people were sitting cross-legged.

There is the Jueqing Fairy, Gu Caiyi, and even Wang Yuan.

But at this moment, except for Wang Yuan who looked like he was struggling, the others were deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Luo Chen even felt that if he increased his magic power and integrated his own spiritual consciousness into it and guided it, even Wang Yuan, whose will was extremely strong and not affected by external things, would not be able to resist this mirror.

"I really was not disappointed!"

After muttering something, Luo Chen slowly withdrew his magic power.

Several Luotian Sect monks who were invited to test the treasures also opened their eyes one by one.

The first person to open his eyes was Wang Yuan. His whole body was filled with energy and his thick brows were furrowed.

"Everything just now was an illusion?"

"Ah."

"You saw it all, then?"

Luo Chen nodded slightly, without lying.

Wang Yuan fell silent.

The second person to wake up was the Jueqing Fairy. Tears started falling from her eyes without her knowing.

Just now, she returned to the softest and most painful scene in her heart. If she had not been awakened by Luo Chen, she would have been trapped in that heart-wrenching coldness forever.

Luo Chen's voice came softly to my ear.

"With my guidance, there will be no doubt between illusion and reality. With this mirror, I can revive Canglong's consciousness without awakening his physical body."

Fairy Jueqing nodded gently, "Thank you for taking the trouble to save my senior sister."

The last person to wake up was Gu Caiyi. Her tense face instantly relaxed when she saw Luo Chen.

She even ignored the looks of others and threw herself into Luo Chen's arms.

"Can you please not leave in the future?"

Luo Chen gently stroked the woman's hair, "It's your husband's fault. I shouldn't let you go through these things again."

Then, he took out four jade bottles like taking candies and stuffed two of them into Gu Caiyi's hands.

"This is the Soul-Treating Powder, a third-level soul-nourishing holy medicine from the Medicine King Sect. It is most suitable for use when you are tired."

"You guys can take it too!"

The remaining two bottles were given to Wang Yuan and Fairy Jueqing one by one.

Although it is biased, no one questions it.

Fairy Jueqing, whose mood was fluctuating greatly, actually felt a little envious of Luo Chen's open preference for her.

She calmed herself down and asked, "Is this treasure famous?"

"Of course, its name is ghosts and gods..." When the words came to his lips, Luo Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

In the past, he could say that he did not ask the common people but asked the ghosts and gods, but this mirror was refined by him and he also controls it.

So, why ask ghosts and gods, but just ask about the past!
"bonds of this world!"

"Thank Chenyuan, and return to the Immortal Court."

"After all the joy and pain, you should leave the world and return to the celestial palace. I am glad to wake up from the dream tonight, and teach you to choose the way to go. Don't get lost, don't get lost, return to the main road as soon as possible!"

Luo Chen held a mirror in one hand and stroked the woman's hair with the other, chanting and singing.

Gu Caiyi tilted her head, looked at Luo Chen obsessively, and murmured.

"The Chenyuan Immortal Mirror?"

……

Now that the Chenyuan Immortal Mirror has been refined, the matter of saving Canglong has been put on the agenda.

Wang Yuan and the others did not bother him much. After taking the Soul-Calming Powder in Luo Chen's cave that day, they said goodbye and left.

However, before leaving, Wang Yuan once again reminded everyone of the recent changes in the situation.

The monster army attacked more and more fiercely, and even the four commanders were trying to take action to test the weak points of some formations in Lingtian Pass.

The casualties of the monks in the city could no longer be controlled under the crazy attack of massive monsters.

Not to mention the others, among the people Luo Chen knew, Fu Lao almost died at the hands of a fourth-order intermediate demon king. If he hadn't activated a death-substitute talisman that he had spent a lot of money to refine, he might not even have been able to escape back to Lingtian Pass.

Ling Fengzi's fighting power was slightly weaker, but he had a strong ability to survive. However, his disciples of the Piao Miao Sect suffered heavy casualties. It was said that only one out of ten of them survived, and the number of people in the sect had dropped sharply to less than a thousand, which was almost the same as the later rising Yuanying forces such as the Luo Tian Sect. Even in terms of fighting power, they were far inferior to the mainstays like Wang Yuan.

Even Jiuling Yuanjun is having a hard time now, because the commander-in-chief is targeting him!

"You need to resolve your personal affairs as soon as possible and focus all your energy on the battle, otherwise you will make mistakes and regret it!"

Wang Yuan gave this advice before leaving.

Luo Chen listened to it and decided that saving Canglong would be his last personal matter.

……

According to outsiders, Luo Chen is a gentleman who is eager to help others and support the younger generation.

In the eyes of those close to him, Luo Chen is kind and benevolent, like a towering tree that protects against wind and rain.

Only Luo Chen himself knows clearly that for the sake of immortality, everything can be abandoned.

Deep down, he is an extremely selfish person.

But before crossing the bottom line, he is able to distinguish between gratitude and resentment and keep his promises.

Standing in the ice room, Luo Chen moved away the ice castle that had been repaired over the years, revealing the ice coffin containing Sleeping Beauty.

Looking at the woman's frowning brows, Luo Chen sighed softly.

This woman has done him a favor, and it is only right that she should repay him.

The Chenyuan Immortal Mirror flew out and covered the ice coffin.

Ten fingers flew and magical spells were frequently used.

"The soul awakens before the dream ends, as if it is in the illusion but also in the mind."

"Senior Sister Canglong, please come into my dream!"

White mist emanated from the mottled stone mirror and seeped into the ice coffin.

The woman's furrowed brows relaxed a little, and her eyes moved under her crystal clear eyelids, as if she was dreaming about something.
