Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 841 Ling Tian was defeated, with heavy casualties

When they came, they chased us quickly and urgently.

On the way back, I walked at a leisurely pace.

When the Mingyuan Sect monks stood idly by and watched the war, Luo Chen had no idea what to do with it.

The ones who are truly capable of leading the direction of this war are not the countless monks in Lingtian Pass who are willing to sacrifice their lives, but the Mingyuan Sect, the sacred land of Huashen.

But even they had evil intentions. Just as Luo Chen had predicted in his early years, they watched helplessly as the major Nascent Soul forces were destroyed or ruined.

Even if this war is won in the end, what is the point?
After all, it's just to help Mingyuan Sect!

"You should cherish your life, cherish your own body, and cherish the lives of all those who follow me."

"At least, don't sacrifice your precious lives to such a war."

"not worth it!"

Sitting cross-legged on the black dragon's back, Luo Chen looked calm and his heart was as peaceful as still water.

……

A few days later, Luo Chen returned to Baili Qingchuan.

"Master, won't you take me with you?"

"No need."

"At the critical moment, Xiao Hei can still help you."

"Haha, as long as no great monk attacks me, I don't care about ordinary enemies. But if a great monk attacks me, you can't help me at all. You might as well help me look after the house."

The Black King let out an "oh" and drilled dejectedly into the depths of the earth.

Li Yingzhang stood aside, with Tianxuan and Min Longyu behind him.

Seeing Luo Chen return safely, they couldn't help but smile happily.

Luo Chen smiled gently and asked about the recent situation, but the answer caught him off guard.

"Lingtian Pass has been breached!"

Even though he had guessed that Lingtian Pass would be attacked, Luo Chen still did not expect that Lingtian Pass, which was well-preserved, had a fifth-order formation to protect it, would be breached in the short time they were away.

Li Yingzhang explained in awe: "On the third day after you, the Supreme Elders, left, the demon army launched a general attack on Lingtian Pass. After another three days of fierce fighting, the five great commanders appeared at the same time and attacked the Xuanwu Four-sided Formation. Tianduzi led the formation to resist, and it was originally a stalemate, but at the critical moment, the commander Huang Man summoned the ancient demon emperor's heavenly means to forcibly break it. Tianduzi was attacked by the formation and suffered severe injuries. Without the protection of the formation, thirty demon kings led tens of millions of demon beasts to drive straight into Lingtian Pass..."

Hearing that scene, Luo Chen's heart instantly rose up.

"What's next?"

"Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time. The teleportation array in Lingtian Pass seemed to have been prepared in advance. When the group of demon kings rushed in, Mingyuan Sect teleported over a dozen Yuanying Zhenren. Together with the strong men in the city, they managed to drive the demon kings out."

Luo Chen frowned, "How can we drive them out? With the five great commanders here, how can we rely on ordinary Yuanying Zhenren?"

Li Yingzhang shook his head. "Mingyuan Sect also sent two great monks to help. And the five great commanders did not linger in the battle. After breaking the formation, it seemed that something unexpected happened. After a long battle, they took the initiative to retreat."

Luo Chen's face showed surprise, and he calculated with his fingers. The time when the five commanders retreated was almost the same as the end of the battle in Tiandu Sect.

Did those commanders go to pick up Jinxiuxian and others who were being hunted?

“Although the demon kings retreated, the battle caused great casualties to the monks guarding Lingtian Pass, almost more than half! On my Luotian Sect’s side, a hundred people died in the battle. As for the Jindan elders, Fu Jiusheng and Chu Kui were unfortunately…”

Luo Chen listened to all of this in silence, with no emotion visible on his calm face.

After a long while, he asked quietly, "Where did you get this information?"

Li Yingzhang looked heavy-hearted, "Tianyuan Merchant Alliance, take the initiative to inform them."

Luo Chen snorted. With the help of Luo Tianbao Pavilion, Tianyuan Business Alliance finally infiltrated and even got the most core information.

He no longer hesitated, and after giving a few instructions, he turned around and flew towards Lingtian Pass.

Li Yingzhang behind him looked at his back, and after he disappeared, his calm face finally revealed a bit of powerlessness.

In this battle, the Luotian Sect, which already had little foundation, lost one third of its strength.

As the head of the family, he was the most heartbroken.

……

As the day dawned, the morning light gradually rose.

A figure landed outside the west city gate.

Looking at the cracked city wall and the ground stained red with blood, Luo Chen flew inside without saying a word.

Without the familiar suppressing power of the anti-air formation, this meant that the anti-air formation within Lingtian Pass was also destroyed in that battle.

In addition, now that the Xuanwu Four-sided Formation has been broken, Lingtian Pass will no longer have any restrictions on strong people at the level of Demon King!
He flew very slowly, letting the fishy smell of blood in the air drift into his nose, and the buzzing sounds of the city filled his ears.

A beam of light rushed up and stopped him.

But after seeing his true appearance, he immediately showed a look of respect.

"Senior Danzong!"

"Ah."

Luo Chen nodded and looked towards this unknown Jindan cultivator with a kind expression.

"Do you know where the monks of my Luotian Sect are now?"

The Jindan cultivator answered without hesitation: "It should be in Danluo Mountain."

"Thank you."

Luo Chen casually handed over a bottle of pills, and without paying attention to the other party's repeated thanks, he flew into the city.

Everywhere he passed was devastated.

Countless buildings collapsed, and the ruins were filled with corpses of monsters and immortal cultivators, which had obviously not been collected in time.

This is still the relatively safest Xicheng District.

It is hard to imagine what the other three places will be like, especially Dongcheng District, which has the greatest offensive and defensive pressure.
Luo Chen didn't dare to think too much and went straight to Danluo Mountain.

After a while, shadowy figures were seen on Mount Danluo.

He took the initiative to reveal his figure and spread out his magical power fluctuations.

Someone discovered it immediately and shouted:
"The Grand Elder is back!"

Suddenly, everyone in the mountain stopped what they were doing and flew towards him.

The moment they saw Luo Chen, the confusion in everyone's eyes disappeared, as if they had found their backbone.

Luo Chen glanced at everyone, and saw that some were listless, some were injured, and some had missing limbs. Even Yang Ping, who was at the Jindan stage, was in visibly bad condition.

There are only a few hundred people, these are the remaining forces of Luotian Sect.

"Everyone, go away, take a good rest, and don't leave any hidden dangers."

Luo Chen said something comforting without going through any formalities.

After the low-level disciples dispersed, Zeng Yilong, Jueqing Fairy and others followed Luo Chen into Danluo Mountain.

At the same time, he was told about the previous battle situations one by one.

"On the third day after you left, the demon army launched a general attack and surrounded the entire Lingtian Pass."

"As the Xuanwu Square Formation was broken, a large number of low-level monsters rushed in."

"The death army that was previously formed had no place to rely on, and was immediately dispersed like a pile of loose sand."

"Under the command of our master, we retreated to Mt. Danluo for defense..."

Luo Chen walked on Danluo Mountain with one deep step and one shallow step. His spiritual awareness spread out, and the situation of the formation on this mountain also appeared in his mind.

The formation's foundation had been shaken, and even the earth's energy was showing signs of being blocked.

Fortunately, the main vein has not been dispersed. As long as it is slightly repaired and guided, this mountain can still be a treasure land for cultivation.

"I have already contacted Luo Tianbao Pavilion. With the strong men from Tianyuan Business Alliance helping them, there should be no problem." Zeng Yilong said.

Luo Chen stopped outside a ruined hall, "Where is your master?"

Zeng Yilong’s master is naturally Wang Yuan.

When asked about this, Zeng Yilong's eyes showed respect.

"Master is recuperating in the hall. At that time, Danluo Mountain attracted a fourth-level demon king. Master personally took action and fought a fierce battle with it, which was enough to delay the arrival of reinforcements from Mingyuan Sect."

This sounds easy to say, but in reality it is extremely dangerous.

From the moment Luo Chen saw Wang Yuan, he knew everything. "Have you used the fire I gave you?"

Wang Yuan nodded. "Under that situation, only with your fire seed could I fight the Demon King with all my strength. I felt a little exhausted afterwards, but after a few days of rest, I have gradually recovered my strength."

"Let me treat you!"

Wang Yuan smiled and did not reject Luo Chen's kindness.

As medical spells were cast one after another and various elixirs were used, Wang Yuan's complexion returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Obviously, his situation was not as good as he said.

During this period, the monks of Luotianbao Pavilion also hurried to Danluo Mountain under the leadership of Sima Huiniang and Gu Caiyi.

While Luo Chen was treating Wang Yuan, he also gave the two girls the various medicines he had stored over the years and asked them to use them to treat the sect's disciples.

It seemed that everything was slowly recovering.

But Luo Chen knew that Lingtian Pass had been breached once, and the demon clan had tasted the sweetness, so they would never come again.

Now that the Mingyuan faction has taken action, it means that it will officially join the war, and the subsequent battles will be even more intense.

He was indifferent to this.

Three days later, Luo Chen stopped.

Looking at Wang Yuan who slowly opened his eyes, Luo Chen warned:
"You have a strong physique, so you can just barely withstand the power of my fire, but only that time. I can't give you a second fire, or else once it's ignited, you'll die."

Wang Yuan didn't seem to care much, "It doesn't matter. It's impossible to always rely on external things. In the end, I have to rely on myself."

Luo Chen nodded, thought about it, and took out a miniature mountain from the storage ring.

"What is this?" Wang Yuan was curious.

Luo Chen explained, "This treasure is called Baizao Mountain. It is a treasure inherited from a major overseas Jindan sect. Although it is a magic weapon, it is extremely heavy. I see that your weapon has been destroyed in the last battle, so I will give you this mountain."

Speaking of this, he felt quite regretful.

"In fact, after I refined the Motian Cliff, I collected the remaining materials of the real weapon. I originally planned to integrate it into the Baizao Mountain and give it to you, but there has been no suitable opportunity in these years, and I have not yet mastered the relevant integration method."

Wang Yuan didn't mind much. He took the Bai Zaoshan, weighed it, and showed a look of satisfaction.

The strength of physical cultivators comes from the internal energy which is completely different from the magic power of cultivators.

Therefore, the weapons needed must also be compatible with the Gang Qi.

Luo Chen had very few physical training weapons on hand, only a Wanjun Halberd, but he had already given it to Zeng Yilong.

When he first returned to Donghuang, he did plan to integrate the materials of Motian Cliff into Baizao Mountain and then give it to Wang Yuan, but he had no idea how to transform it to be suitable for the activation of Gangqi.

Now, we can only give Baizao Mountain to Wang Yuan for use first.

At least this thing is heavy enough!
suddenly.

"What are your plans next?"

Facing Wang Yuan's question, Luo Chen raised his eyelids and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Wang Yuan said naturally: "Lingtian Pass has been breached this time. Even if the formation is repaired later, it is no longer foolproof. Mingyuan Sect has also begun to join this war. Low-level cultivators from Mingyuan Sect have been arriving one after another these days. It is obvious that they are preparing to launch a counterattack. In this situation, if you don't have any plans, then Luotian Sect will inevitably be defeated without a single soldier left. Don't tell me that you will ignore what happened?"

Luo Chen fell silent.

After a long while, he finally smiled bitterly.

"You also talked about the general trend. Under such a mighty trend, if you can't become a god, you will only be a pawn. What I can do is too insignificant."

"Become a god..."

Wang Yuan sighed, that was too far away.

"Let's take one step at a time and see what happens!"

Luo Chen said a comforting word, then stood up and walked straight out of the cave.

As if it was an appointment.

A messenger arrived, it was the cultivator from Mingyuan.

"Senior Danzong, the City Lord's Mansion invites you!"

Luo Chen was not surprised at all. He had not concealed his whereabouts since he came back these days, and the strong people in the city must know the news.

Then let’s go for a walk!

He also wanted to know the specific situation of the previous battlefields, and what the Mingyuan Holy Land’s plan was next!
……

The familiar City Lord's Mansion is still majestic and grand.

The cleaned White Jade Square is as bright and clean as new, as if nothing had happened.

But Luo Chen, who arrived first, knew how brutal the previous battle was after meeting those who came later one after another.

"Xiao Shiniang is dead! The fireworks and ancient islands have vanished into thin air."

"Master Mu died in the battle, and even his body was torn into pieces by the two demon kings. I heard that the Mu Mansion where his Mu family lived was destroyed by the sudden attack of the demon king's troops before him, so he was distracted during the battle of Lingtian Pass, which led to his tragic end."

“Haha, come to think of it, if it weren’t for the fact that all my Piao Miao Sect disciples had been killed long ago, I would be all alone and only need to protect myself. I’m afraid that Dan Sect wouldn’t see me today.”

Ling Fengzi's tone was smiling, but his expression was bleak, and he didn't look happy at all.

Luo Chen asked: "Where are the others?"

Ling Fengzi told Luo Chen everything he had found out.

"Fellow Daoist Xianhe is fine. The True Man He from his sect has come out of retreat and is fighting together with him. They are extremely powerful."

"Master Fu is not in good condition. He was seriously injured in the battle at Lingtian Pass. Two days ago, Master Ye Lan rushed to Lingtian Pass and took over the disciples of the Divine Fu Sect... Well, isn't that it?"

As they were talking, a Yuanying Zhenren entered the hall at the door.

After looking around for a while, his eyes stopped at Luo Chen, and then the middle-aged man with a steady temperament walked towards Luo Chen and the others.

"My name is Ye Lan, nice to meet you, Dan Zong, and Ling Fengzi."

Luo Chen responded with a friendly voice, and then asked about Mr. Fu’s situation.

Ye Lan showed grief on his face, "The old man is in a very bad condition, and his foundation is injured. I'm afraid..."

Luo Chen sighed, "After today's business is over, I'll find time to go see Master Fu!"

The number of people in the hall gradually increased.

After seeing Luo Chen, some people came forward to talk to him.

Even Mr. Yao, who had been at odds with him before, gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

But after knowing that Qidong Mountain was destroyed, just as Fairy Fenghua said, his face became dejected and his whole spirit seemed to have dissipated.

At this moment, Luo Chen deeply realized how great a blow this battle would be to the major forces in the Eastern Wilderness.

The rear was attacked and the front was broken.

One before and one after, the losses were heavy!

And this is obviously not the limit.

Another familiar face appeared in the hall.

Jiuling Yuanjun, Deng Taiyue and others showed up one after another, but there were still some missing familiar faces.

"Where is Master Hua?"

"We will perish together with the Xuhuang Sect!"

"Where is Pavilion Master Li?"

"He died at the hands of the Great Demon King Bi Zheng! Not only that, Taoist Tieguan was also seriously injured and returned to Bailu Cave to recuperate."

Speaking of that battle, Jiuling Yuanjun showed a lingering fear.

He looked at Luo Chen and asked about the general situation.

The answer he got also shocked him greatly.

"Jin Ling is not a weakling, but he also fell?"

The appearance of the name Jin Ling was like a chain reaction, instantly attracting a cold gaze.

An old man in a black robe stepped into the hall, and his powerful aura instantly pressed down on Luo Chen.

"Luo Chen!"
