Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 843: Danzong's Wisdom, Post-War Harvest, That Corpse

If Luo Chen had believed the rumor that a great spirit being could not take action when he was at a lower level, he would have believed it.

But after the battle at Cangwu Mountain, he no longer believed the rumor.

At that time, the Green Frost Demon Emperor was in charge of Cangwu Mountain, and even if the three great Yuanhou monks came in person, they could do nothing.

It was the powerful man from Mingyuan Sect who took action personally and forced Cangwu Mountain to disappear into the void.

This example alone is enough to illustrate that a powerful being in the state of transformation can take action.

There are actually quite a few examples like this!

How did the Beihai Yuanmo Sect fall?
Those two Yuanmo Sect ancestors are also great masters who have reached the state of transformation into gods. They are powerful men of extraordinary realms. Who can kill them?
Li Canghai, a great master of formations, once took possession of spiritual treasures refined at the Lingshan Mountain of the Bingji Sect in full view of everyone.

All these things prove that the rumors are wrong.

Of course, maybe it’s not wrong, but it’s not completely correct!
Ever since he mastered the true meaning of withering and flourishing, Luo Chen had vaguely felt that he had developed some inexplicable sense of connection with this world.

It's slight, but it's there!
Initially, Luo Chen thought it was the influence of the assimilation of the Nascent Soul by Heaven and Earth, as well as his unstable realm, so during that period of time he did not dare to practice too much and only focused on consolidating his realm.

Later, as his realm became completely stable, he discovered that that sense of harmony still existed.

Only then did Luo Chen realize that it was by no means the assimilation of heaven and earth, but that he vaguely possessed a certain authority, similar to heaven and earth, so he had that ambiguous feeling.

The true meaning of the law!

The reason lies in the true meaning of the law.

Luo Chen guessed that once a cultivator comprehended the true meaning of a certain law, it would be equivalent to mastering part of the world's power.

In this case, even if it is not assimilated by this world, it is almost the same as this world.

However, there are only a handful of Nascent Soul cultivators who can grasp the true meaning of the laws. Even in the Tianyuan Dao Sect, it takes five hundred years to produce two or three such people.

The ones who truly master this mystery appear among the cultivators at the level of Spirit Transformation!
They are like heaven and earth, and their magic power is limited. However, as long as they possess a primordial spirit and comprehend the true meaning of the law, they can draw on the vitality of heaven and earth to fight at any time, so their energy is endless.

The best way to describe them is to say people with great abilities and powers!

Once these beings start fighting each other recklessly, the destructive power they can cause is extremely terrifying!

They will never be like Nascent Soul cultivators, who are confined to a mountain or an area of ​​thousands of miles.

The biggest possibility is the horrific sight of continents sinking and mountains and seas overturning!
However, how could the heaven and earth be spiritual and just sit back and watch the parasites in their bodies destroy their bodies at will?

Therefore, there will inevitably be restrictions on the great power of transformation in certain aspects.

This is the source of the rumor that a god-transforming master cannot act easily.

This conclusion was a guess made by the knowledgeable Luo Chen based on his own specific circumstances.

Maybe some parts are incorrect, but they are enough to explain why during the racial war, powerful beings such as the ancient demon emperor Tian and the Mingyuan Mage, who possessed decisive military power, did not take direct action, but instead let the creatures under their command kill each other to indirectly determine the winner.

It’s not that they don’t want to fight directly, but there are restrictions in certain places that prevent them from taking action easily.

But if you really get angry, what's the harm in tearing those restrictions apart?
In the current situation, has the Donghuang demon clan angered the Mingyuan Sect?
Luo Chen judged in his mind and came to the conclusion that although it seemed not urgent, it was actually urgent.

What does it mean to appear not to be urgent?
The strength of the Mingyuan Sect itself was hardly affected at all and remained at the top.

They gave orders leisurely and didn't seem to be in a hurry.

but!

Previously, the eight great commanders acted simultaneously, commanding hundreds of millions of demons to invade the thirty-six regions, and even fought to the rear areas. In some places, the story could be described as devastating.

The intensity of this war has somewhat exceeded the expectations of the Mingyuan Sect.

If this continues, the entire Eastern Wasteland will be destroyed. If a few more places like the Jueling Realm appear, I am afraid that when the Mingyuan Sect unifies the Eastern Wasteland in the future, all it will get is a mess.

So, they also began to get restless.

The fact that Mingyuan Sect sent out six great Yuanhou monks at once and nearly forty Yuanying Zhenren was a clear indication of this.

“So, as long as we kill the ancient demon emperor Tian, ​​the leader of the Eastern Wilderness demon clan, we can completely disintegrate the current demon clan army!”

Faced with Luo Chen's speculation, Fairy Fenghua did not dare to agree with it.

"How can a divine being be so easy to kill?"

Luo Chen smiled dumbly, "Even if we can't kill him, as long as we force the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian to take action first, won't Mingyuan Mighty have the upper hand in the situation? At that time, whether it is war or peace, the initiative is in their hands. Sometimes, the reputation of being righteous is very important!"

Fairy Fenghua frowned. A reputation for righteousness?

Luo Chen, with his hands behind his back, paced on the quiet path of Danluo Mountain and told his views on the war.

"After the ancient times, the human and demon races signed a truce agreement and were not allowed to launch large-scale ethnic wars. Only small-scale battles such as pioneering wars were allowed, and they were often limited to the scale of a single sect or faction."

"But in the war to open up the Howling Moon Mountains, the human race was the first to violate the agreement. Han Zhan invited four powerful men from other sects to surround and kill the Proud Howling Demon King."

"Not only that, the powerful Hehuan Sect also got involved and tried to open two domains together with Luoyun Sect."

"These are all betrayals of the original armistice agreement!"

"The most important point is that the great Mingyuan appeared in the Feather Clan's sacred place, Cangwu Mountain, and took action personally!"

"It is precisely because he occupied the righteous cause that the Ancient Demon Emperor had the reason to stir up the anger in the hearts of the demon clan's strong men, and took advantage of the situation to unify the demon clan of the Million Mountains. Under his call, countless strong men ran for him and were driven by him, including Wolf Lord Ao Kuang, an extremely strong man who had competed with the Ancient Demon Emperor, and could not disobey him."

"These are all the benefits brought by the reputation of being righteous!"

"And the result is obvious. Fifteen of the thirty-six regions were lost. Even the twenty-one regions in the rear suffered heavy losses. Fenghua Palace was destroyed, Qidong Mountain was destroyed, Dieyun Sect was reduced to dust, and even a strong sect like Tiandu Sect was visibly declining."

"We saw this with our own eyes. Other places would be even more tragic than this. Xuhuang Sect, Taishan Sect, Wanjian Pavilion, Baishou Sect, Mu Mansion..."

"If this war is compared to a game of chess..."

Speaking of this, Luo Chen inexplicably thought of Tianyuan Taoist Sect.

But it was only for a moment.

He shook his head and continued to talk fluently.

"All of us are chess pieces, and the incarnations of the humans and demons of the Eastern Wasteland are the chess players."

"The outcome of the game between chess pieces represents the outcome of the war."

"But if the chess player refuses to accept this and personally prepares to kill some chess pieces, that would be like overturning the chessboard, and the other party would naturally stop abiding by the rules."

"Do you think that Ancient Demon Emperor Tian can defeat the three ancestors of Mingyuan Sect alone?"

Fairy Fenghua frowned, "It is rumored that the Eastern Wilderness demon tribe also has three ancient demons. They may not be afraid of the three ancestors of Mingyuan."

Luo Chen chuckled.

He had heard of the names of the three ancient monsters in the Eastern Wasteland.

The most prominent one is undoubtedly Emperor Tian of Pingshan.

The other two are Qixia Yuanjun, the lord of Cangwu Mountain, and a mysterious being named Qinghexian.

It was precisely because of the support of these two major entities, as well as the right time and place, that Emperor Tian dared to start a war.

But as of now, the support of one of them seems to be somewhat unfulfilled.

Qixia Yuanjun!

Thinking of this powerful man whose name he had heard countless times, Luo Chen's smile seemed a little forced.

But the heaviness in his heart did not affect his judgment of the situation.

"Eight of the nine commanders have taken action."

"Only the Qingshuang Demon King, who represents the Cangwu Mountain lineage, has not taken any substantial actions except rescuing the Thunder Prison Divine Peng."

"Does she really fully support Ancient Demon Emperor Tian?"

Faced with this question, Fairy Fenghua hesitated.

"You mean to say that the demon race is not as united as it seems on the surface?"

Luo Chen continued to talk, "At least Qixia Yuanjun's support for this war is not enough. Otherwise, once the Qingshuang Demon King under her command joins the war, who can stop her? Is it the famous Lei Daozi, or Tianduzi who holds the Twelve Dutian Divine Evil Flags, or those hardworking people in Mingyuan Sect?"

"And the Qinghe Immortal has been practicing alone in the Million Mountains for thousands of years. He is not well-known, so it is not necessarily that he is so keen on fighting for territory."

"So, in my opinion, Di Tian has been playing with the name of righteousness from the beginning to the end, taking risks with the foundation accumulated by the Million Mountains for thousands of years. Once he can't sit still and takes action himself, this war will mean the beginning of the end."

When a chess player enters the game, he can either win by half a move or die on the board.

Luo Chen was not optimistic about Di Tian, ​​just like he was not optimistic about this battle between humans and demons from the beginning to the end.

The winner will not be their small sects, nor will it be those monster tribes, but only the Mingyuan Holy Land!

The only unexpected factor may be Qixia Yuanjun, the mastermind behind the destruction of Beihai Yuanmo.

After listening to Luo Chen's analysis, Fairy Fenghua stood there in a daze.

After a while, she looked at Luo Chen's profile with a complicated expression and a faint voice.

"I don't know what the future will be like, but Brother Luo, your profound remarks are definitely not something that an ordinary person can come up with."

"Fenghua has learned a lesson today!"

Your attitude toward a person can often be seen from the way you address him or her.

At first she called Luo Chen "Fellow Daoist Luo" out of courtesy.

Later he was called Danzong, which was a sign of respect for his ability in alchemy and also of flattery.

Now, he calls Luo Chen "Brother Luo" just like Jiuling Yuanjun and others. This is an active attempt to get close to him and to build a closer relationship.

This process of relationship transformation lasted for a long time, until today when Luo Chen's words truly convinced the other party.

Luo Chen smiled and felt very pleased.

In fact, it’s not that people like Fenghua Fairy are “stupid”, but that they have been in the game from the beginning and their thinking has been limited.

Luo Chen is also in the game now, but at the beginning, he was outside the game!
Especially his travels to the North Sea and Zhongzhou, which allowed him to have a comprehensive consideration of the largest war since ancient times in the East Wilderness, so he was able to come to so many conclusions.

But he was also very clear that he was not a powerful god and could not truly stand at that height to see the overall situation.

What you think may be wrong.

"Grand Palace Master, thank you for your praise!"

Fairy Fenghua smoothed her hair which was messy from running around for days, and spoke in a bleak tone.

"My junior sister is dead. I am the only Yuanying Zhenren in Fenghua Palace. There is no distinction between the Grand Palace Master and the Second Palace Master. Brother Luo, just call me Fenghua as you did just now."

Luo Chen opened his mouth. The other party's expression was so similar to his a few days ago.

He could only comfort Tian Duzi as he had comforted him before: "Fenghua Palace still has a solid foundation, and there are also outstanding people like Fengyue and Xia Lan. If they are trained well, it won't be difficult to produce one or two Yuanying Zhenren."

“As for them…” Fairy Fenghua shook her head and said subconsciously, “If they were really good, they wouldn’t have been stuck in the late Jindan stage for three or four hundred years, and the Nascent Soul stage would be even further away. To be honest, the one who has the hope of Nascent Soul among the younger generation is Meng Qin’er, who was abducted to Luotian Sect by your good disciple.”

As she spoke, she looked at Luo Chen with a half-smile, hinting at something.

Luo Chen coughed twice.

"Those two kids are in love with each other, so let's not separate them! We'll see in the future, we'll see in the future!"

He laughed it off and let the matter go.

But he already had feelings for Meng Qin'er in his heart.

This woman has excellent aptitude. She was promoted to the Golden Core Stage in less than a hundred years, and now she has reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage at a young age. Although she received the help of Qu Lingjun's elixir during the process, she can digest a large amount of elixir without being affected by the elixir poison, which is also a talent!
If she can stay in Luotian Sect forever, it will be a great help in the future!
After Fairy Fenghua left, Luo Chen muttered something.

"Speaking of which, I should go check on my useless disciple."

……

The reconstruction of Lingtian Pass is the top priority at the moment.

Mingyuan sent out material resources, and other sects were responsible for providing manpower, and the entire city was in a state of bustling activity.

Any monk with some talent was given important positions.

During one of his inspections, Luo Chen even accidentally met a Jindan cultivator from Ailao Mountain in Yuding Domain.

Unfortunately, they were not acquaintances, so he did not even say hello to the other party. He just secretly watched as the man was excitedly picked up by a Nascent Soul Real Person from the Mingyuan Sect.

Luo Chen felt quite sad about this.

In his eyes, the six great Jindan sects of Yuding Domain were so unattainable.

But times have changed. The Yan League was destroyed, the Luoyun Sect was torn apart, the Ice Castle existed in name only, and the Baihua Palace was long gone. Now it seems that only two or three cats and kittens are left in the Ailao Mountain, which is famous for its spiritual buildings.

"What about Qingdan Valley?"

Luo Chen inadvertently thought of the small sect with which he had a close relationship.

It seems that the last patriarch was Tao Wan, who was promoted to the position with great effort by him!
I don’t know whether there are any disciples of Qingdan Valley alive, and whether there is anyone to inherit the sect’s heritage.

With all these random thoughts in mind, Luo Chen went to the City Lord's Mansion and asked for leave from City Lord Lingtian.

"It's okay. We suffered heavy losses in the last battle at Lingtian Pass, and the demon tribe was also in trouble. There won't be any more disputes in the short term. If you have any personal matters, go and deal with them first!"

The City Lord Lingtian is as tolerant and kind as ever.

He also asked about Luo Chen's injuries.

Luo Chen didn't have any injuries at all, it was just an excuse to decline other people's invitations.

When he had some free time, he left Lingtian Pass and quietly returned to Luotian Sect.

……

"Is the foundation building level eight?"

Luo Chen stood in a quiet courtyard, gazing at a mountain wall with his eyes dimly, as if he could see through the thick mountain wall a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Meng Qin'er, dressed as a young woman, stood respectfully behind him.

Hearing the murmurs, she boldly defended her husband, "Lingjun has worked very hard. In just over ten years, he has crossed two realms."

Indeed, when Luo Chen first returned to the Eastern Wilderness, Qu Lingjun's realm was roughly at the latter part of the sixth level of foundation building.

Now, for more than ten years, he has ignored all worldly affairs, let go of all worries, and concentrated on practicing. He has finally entered the late stage of foundation building and has barely broken through to the eighth level of foundation building.

Hearing the worry in the woman's words, Luo Chen smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't worry. I'm not blaming him, but I'm relieved. He understands my painstaking efforts and concentrates on cultivation, which shows that his Tao heart has not been completely tarnished."

Meng Qin'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but soon held her breath again.

"pity……"

Luo Chen sighed, "It's still too slow after all!"

Qu Lingjun has not experienced many battles in his life and has no serious injuries, so he should be able to reach the theoretical limit of his lifespan.

But no matter how long a foundation-building cultivator can live, he can only be two hundred and fifty or two hundred and sixty years old!

The other party only has 20 or 30 years left.

With the talent of four spiritual roots, it is imaginable how difficult it is to practice from the eighth level of foundation building to the ninth level, or even to the state of great perfection, to impact the Golden Core stage within twenty to thirty years.

You have to know that it took Luo Chen thirty years to take the last step!

He has five spiritual roots, and Qu Lingjun has four spiritual roots, and both of them have the qualifications of a disabled person.

Meng Qin'er gnashed her teeth and said, "No matter how slow it is, we have to give it a try! My husband said that he doesn't seek the state of great perfection. Even if he is only at the ninth level of foundation building by then, he will try to break through to the golden elixir stage before his life ends!"

"Your heart is commendable!" Luo Chen praised, and then said proudly: "However, how can my disciple be so shabby."

Then, to Meng Qin'er's surprise, he handed over a storage bag.

"Inside are the auxiliary resources I prepared for Lingjun!"

"There are third-level Miaoshen leaves from the Piaomiao Sect. Burning them in the furnace and absorbing them can keep your mind clear and your heart relaxed."

"There is an ice silkworm cushion with an ice castle, which is at the level of a magic weapon. Sitting on it, the spiritual energy from the outside world can be refined by ice, and it will no longer be so violent, and it will be more suitable for absorption."

"That ointment is a specialty of the Taishan Sect. Remember to apply it all over your body when practicing. It has miraculous effects..."

"The Tongyou Pill should be useless to him, but I have refined the third-level spiritual medicine Anhun Powder from the Medicine King Sect, which is even more effective than the Tongyou Pill."

"Finally, inside these jade bottles are the Starry Pills I refined! They contain the spiritual energy of the five elements and are suitable for cultivators of any attributes. They are a great tonic for Lingjun. Considering the difference in realm, I have specially adjusted the potency of the medicine. Take one pill every half a month, put it in your mouth to refine it, and absorb it slowly!"

Meng Qin'er's hands trembled as she listened to Luo Chen's introduction.

This complete set of resources to assist in cultivation is extremely valuable even for Jindan cultivators!
But Luo Chen gave it out generously, and it even seemed as if he had prepared it in advance.

For a moment, she couldn't stop thinking about the words her husband had said to her.

"Master has always treated him well!"

It is true!

It’s just strange that, since Luo Chen cared so much about Qu Lingjun, why didn’t he give these things earlier?

She didn't dare ask this question.

He just bowed to Luo Chen and said, "On behalf of Lingjun, I, the disciple, would like to thank Master for his great kindness!"

Luo Chen smiled and raised his hands.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Then, he suddenly took out a storage bag.

"You have been guarding Lingjun all these years, and it's hard work. Here are some resources left over from my Jindan period. If you don't mind, take them!"

Meng Qin'er was stunned.

Who is Luo Chen?

Yuanying Zhenren, a great master of alchemy!
The resources he used when he was in the Jindan stage are what any Jindan cultivator would dream of.

How could I dislike it?

Sure enough, after Luo Chen left, she carefully took out a jade bottle.

Just one glance and his eyes lit up.

Third-grade superior elixir!

Holding the jade bottle, the young woman murmured:

"Is the master loving the whole family?"

……

After leaving Qu Lingjun's training place, Luo Chen did not go directly back to the palace on the top of the mountain, but went to Xiaoshiping first.

This was originally Sima Huiniang's place of practice. After she went to Lingtian Pass, she gave this place full of spiritual energy to her disciple Yao Mingyue.

After all, he is the second generation leader of Luotian Sect in history. Luo Chen will not be ignored when he returns.

After some investigation with his spiritual sense, Luo Chen showed a satisfied look.

Yao Mingyue has good talent, but he was burdened by mundane affairs in his early years.

After these years of leisure, his realm has steadily improved and he is now one step away from reaching perfection in the foundation-building stage.

To condense the golden elixir, all that is needed is a little hard work and the mastery of the Luo Tian Sect's secret method of condensing the golden elixir, the "Micro Dust Yuan Shu".

“Hope everything goes well for her!”

Luo Chen merely gave a blessing and did not leave many cultivation resources like he did to Qu Lingjun.

The sect had already given Yao Mingyue what she deserved.

Including the third-level liquid-condensing pill required for pill formation.

After all, he is a meritorious official, and the sect will not treat him unfairly.

The reason why Qu Lingjun was treated differently was actually intentional.

As the only disciple, he has never been keen on practicing due to his limited qualifications. After years of hardship, his determination to seek the truth has become even less firm.

Luo Chen's previous deliberate indifference was also intended to temper the other party's temper.

Now that Qu Lingjun has come to his senses, he will naturally not be stingy with his rewards.

With the full support of a Nascent Soul True Person, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator seeking to achieve Dan will most likely succeed as long as his luck is not too bad.

"The passing of the two elders, Fu Jiusheng and Chu Kui, is a big blow to Luo Tian Sect."

“If Lingjun and Mingyue can fill in, it can also boost the morale of one or two sects.”

Luo Chen sighed for a while, then leisurely went up the mountain.

Arriving at the long-deserted palace on the top of the mountain, Luo Chen used a cleaning spell on the residence, which was cleaned every day, making it look brand new.

Then, he patted the armrest of the seat.

"come out!"

As if sensing something, the earth shook slightly.

This caused many cultivators of Luotian Sect to lower their heads and look at the ground, but they did not show much surprise.

After the previous battle with the Demon King's invasion, they all knew that their own sect also had guardian beasts.

Moreover, unlike other sects, their own mountain guardian beast is extremely powerful. According to the sect master, its strength is no less than that of a Nascent Soul True Person!

This weak earthquake was most likely caused by the "Black King" turning over in his sleep.

Used to it!

But unlike what they thought, this time it was not the Black King who turned over, but who woke up.

A figure emerged from the ground and saluted Luo Chen respectfully.

"Master, what do you want Xiao Hei to do?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Spit out what you swallowed earlier!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Black King's abdomen bulged and kept moving upward, and then in the splashing mucus, things were softly spit out one by one.

As far as the eye can see, the hall is filled with neatly arranged old jars filled with various thousand-year-old fine wines.

And a lifeless corpse!
