Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 98 Rooted in the spiritual eye, piercing through the earth's veins (subscription required)
"How to say, don't you know?"

"I entered Tianxiang Building on the fifth floor of Qi refining, where I danced every day and never fought with anyone. How would I know this?"

"Hehe, the weak!"

Luo Chen looked at Gu Caiyi with disdain, causing the other party to glare at him.

But slowly, Gu Caiyi also sighed.

"I really want to get proficient in fighting methods. The Poshan Gang is no better than Tianxianglou. They don't have a strong background. Maybe the same thing as before will happen again."

The previous thing was about the struggle between the two gangs.

That time, quite a few people died, even Xu Renke, who had a fragment of the magic weapon, died on the stage of the discussion.

And this kind of thing must not happen only once.

There have been many gangs in Dahefang in history.

The Poshan Gang and the Dajiang Gang only emerged in the last hundred years.

But... no background?

Luo Chen rubbed his chin, does the Poshan Gang really have no background?

I'm afraid it's not likely!

On the way out of the city, the two chatted about some things in the city.

"Speaking of which, Fu Xiuxiu has left, and the East Wing is still vacant. Do you want to move there?"

"Forget it, the refurbished inverted room has no shortcomings except for being cold."

"Winter is coming soon, I'm afraid it will be even colder!"

Is it almost winter?

It was only then that Luo Chen realized that some leaves on the streets of the outer city had begun to turn yellow.

The monks are physically strong, and unless it is an extreme climate, they seldom perceive the difference in temperature.

Before he knew it, he had gone from midsummer to autumn.

Behind him, two bodyguards followed.

They gradually realized that the route was wrong, Luo Chen didn't seem to be going in the direction of the Oblique Moon Valley.

Zhou Yuanli was puzzled, "Master, where are we going?"

Luo Chen said with a smile: "Go to the main altar and see if the leader is there. I need to find him."

Unfortunately, Mi Shuhua is not here.

In fact, Mi Shuhua doesn't spend every day in the Poshan Gang.

He also has his own social circle, and behind him is the Mi family, a small cultivating family.

Old man Mi was born as a casual cultivator, but after the establishment of the foundation, he spread his branches and established the Mi Family.

Today, the Mi family is near Dahefang, and it is considered a little famous, no worse than some Jianji families who migrated from other areas.

Even because they controlled the Broshan Gang, they were even stronger.

It is also true that many of the Jianji family who have moved here will take the initiative to visit Mi Shuhua.

Luo Chen felt a little pity that he didn't see each other.

But to verify his doubts, he has other methods.

When we arrived at the Inclined Moon Valley, we first practiced four furnaces of Zhongmiao Wan in the morning.

Then Luo Chen was not in a hurry to refine the chalcedony pill, but found an old monk in the pyrotechnics.

As I said before, most of the internal staff of Dantang are old and weak women and children.

And this old monk named Qu Hancheng is the one with the highest cultivation level among them, with a full six levels of Qi Refining.

The other party is also married in Dahefang, and has a son and a daughter.

It's a pity that neither of the two children has spiritual roots.

He only hoped that he would have another child, or that one of his grandsons would have spiritual roots, and continue his dream of cultivating in the Qu family.

"Master, do you have something to do with me?"

Qu Hancheng looked at Luo Chen suspiciously.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "It's a good thing! From today on, you will be the squad leader, in charge of all the fire-watching monks, responsible for scheduling and rotation. Oh, I will give you an extra salary of one spirit stone every month. But... "

Hearing such a good thing, the old man became excited.

Tired of watching the fire!

Keep an eye on the size of the fire all the time, increase or decrease the firewood, and when the firepower is not enough, you have to release the fireball technique yourself.

Once or twice was okay, after more than a month, he felt like he was going to burn.

If he becomes the squad leader, he can direct others instead of watching the fire himself.

Of course, he knew very well that there must be conditions for being the squad leader.

The condition is on the "but"!

Seeing Luo Chen staring at him like a rare treasure, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Although the hall master speaks bluntly, if it is useful to get me, I will definitely do my best."

"It's very simple, come, come with me!"

Without letting anyone follow, Luo Chen took Qu Hancheng out of the Oblique Moon Valley and came to the back of the valley.

As far as the eye can see, a huge primeval forest spreads quietly.

Qu Hancheng swallowed his saliva, "Master, if you go this way, you will reach the Xiaoyue Mountains. There are too many monster wolves over there, so let's not get too close."

"It's okay, just stay here!"

Luo Chen settled on a place with a smile, and then said, "Do you know the fireball technique?"

"meeting!"

"Okay, now you use all your strength to cast the fireball technique, and release as much as you can until the mana is exhausted."

"Every fireball must be injected with maximum spiritual power!"

It's that simple?
Qu Hancheng was stunned for a moment, and then performed the fireball technique as he said.

Luo Chen watched carefully from the side, and by the way, compared the difference between ordinary monks and his Dzogchen fireball technique.

Generally speaking, monks are the least diligent in spells.

The power of the spell is indeed great, but the release speed is slow, and it can only be formed by chanting spells and mobilizing spiritual power.

And many spells, even after forming, the attack speed is very slow.

Like fireball, it can be regarded as a low-level attack technique with the same reputation as golden spear and water archery.

But speed has always been its shortcoming.

In comparison, the Magical Artifact Talisman Seal is much better.

One only needs to be manipulated by spiritual power, and the other is instantly stimulated.

Moreover, the energy consumption of spells is high, which will affect monks to accumulate spiritual power and break through the realm.

Therefore, only those monks who had no hope of breaking through and did not have any hand tools would devote their attention to spells.

Qu Seoul is such an old monk who perfectly meets the conditions.

His fireball technique, in Luo Chen's view, is about at the level of his own proficiency level.

This is already excellent!
Skillful pinching tactics, fast forming, fast release, but can't control the direction of the fireball very well.

It is also impossible to do dozens of fireballs at every turn like Luo Chen, and he can control the degree of steering.

But Luo Chen's goal is not here.

"One, two... sixteen, seventeen. Go on?"

Qu Hancheng's face was pale, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It can't be done, the spiritual power in my body is only enough to release these seventeen fireballs."

Only seventeen?
Luo Chen frowned, his eyes fell on those dark potholes.

"How many spiritual roots are you? How long has it been since you advanced to the sixth level of Qi refining?"

"I am the root of the three spirits. When I was 75 years old, I refined the sixth level of Qi. It has been 18 years now."

93!
"It's hard work for you to come out to work at such an old age." Luo Chen said in a more polite tone.

Qu Hancheng took a breath, forced a smile and said: "It's not hard, I'd like to thank the hall master for his support, I will be able to relax a bit in the future."

Luo Chen hummed and fell into deep thought.

It's been 18 years since he advanced, even if he doesn't have any elixir supply, relying on the aptitude of the three spiritual roots, it's time to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining now.

No, considering that the monks in the junior and middle stages are too cash-strapped to live in a place with a first-level spirit vein in the inner city.

Therefore, it is slower to improve the realm.

This old man is about in the middle of the sixth floor of Qi Refining.

Even so, it is still much higher than his current progress.

But his total spiritual power doesn't even have half of his own?

Luo Chen frowned, realizing that his total spiritual power might be far beyond ordinary people.

Fireball, his best spell.

At the fifth level of Qi refining, he can release nearly a hundred fireballs.

It sounds like a lot, but if each one must guarantee the maximum power and contain the most spiritual power, then there are only about twenty.

This is also the reason why his usual Flying Firefly has been kept at around ten.

After breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, he can release about thirty of them with all his strength, ten more than the fifth level of Qi Refining.

And it is foreseeable that as he continues to practice, this number will continue to increase.

If he reaches Qu Hancheng's current cultivation progress, he can release about forty of them with all his strength.

Doesn't that mean that my spiritual power is more than double that of a monk of the same level, or more?

Getting this answer made Luo Chen startled.

"When did this change happen?"

Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of the Grand Master Changchun Kung Fu.

"It can't be wrong, the master-level Changchun kungfu has opened up all my meridians, thus doubling the upper limit of my stored spiritual power."

"That's why I need to accumulate more spiritual power from monks of the same level in order to break through in every realm."

After thinking this through, Luo Chen's brows relaxed a lot.

This must be a good thing.

In terms of combat, and in terms of background, it is all strengthened.

But for Luo Chen, who had a short lifespan, it was a big bad thing.

It means that he needs to spend more time and resources to break through the realm like a monk of the same level.

"Maybe, the situation is even worse?"

Luo Chen thought of a common sense!
In the process of continuously transporting spiritual power, the monks will expand the dantian and the meridians will become wider, all in order to break through the foundation and accumulate enough spiritual power.

Then I now have twice as much foundation as the same level. Doesn't it mean that his dantian will be wider than ordinary people's cultivation in the future.

Need more spiritual power?

double?double!three times!
Luo Chen's head is getting bigger!
"Master, is there anything else?"

An old man's voice came from beside him, Luo Chen shook his head, motioning for the other party to go back first.

After he left, Luo Chen let out a long breath.

"Sure enough, everything has pros and cons."

"Grandmaster-level Changchun has brought me many benefits, such as the upper limit of the number of refining pills, automatic recovery of Qi, accelerated practice, etc."

"Now it seems that the meridians are all connected and the foundation is increased, which is also a benefit that has been hidden."

"But this benefit prevents me from breaking through quickly."

After thinking for a long time, Luo Chen suddenly smiled.

"Left and right just need more cultivation resources."

"What am I worrying about? There are alchemy methods, spirit stones and so on. Don't you want as many as you want?"

After figuring this out, Luo Chen leisurely returned to the Valley of the Oblique Moon.

"Just to let you know, we won't practice Zhongmiao Pills in the afternoon, we will use them all to refine Chalcedony Pills!"

……

……

In the afternoon, Dantang devoted all his energy to refining chalcedony pill.

The result is gratifying!

All fail!

Luo Chen likes to mention dozens of waste alchemy beads.

On the way home, he angrily threw out stone beads one by one, using the technique of the Hunyuan beads on the flowers scattered by the goddess, and kept hitting them.

Wherever he passed, flowers, plants, bugs, and moths all suffered disasters.

Seeing him like this, Gu Caiyi and the two bodyguards did not dare to touch his brows.

After returning home, Luo Chen boiled Yuanyuanlingye as he did yesterday.

The materials bought with 300 Yuan Lingshi are enough for him to boil thirty cups of Peiyuan Lingye.

When sitting in the Ziyun copper furnace, Luo Chen inexplicably thought of a question.

"In the future, monks who eat this alchemy furnace and refine wonderful pills may be contaminated with my breath."

"So when they did that, do I have a sense of participation?"

"Bah bah bah!"

Distracting thoughts disappear with Changchun Gong.

This situation, in fact, will not happen at all.

After soaking in the medicinal bath every day, he would clean the alchemy furnace vigorously.

And when refining alchemy, the temperature is so high, what breath can't be burned?

With the help of Anshenxiang, the Changchun Kungfu was run over and over again, and the nearby aura was also absorbed, and then slowly transformed into Luo Chen's own aura.

The huge flesh and blood essence of Peiyuan Lingye also seeped into Luo Chen's body after the medicinal materials were fused, transforming into streams of qi and blood.

Time just flowed by slowly.

Early the next morning.

The rooster sings all over the world!

"Huh? Where did the chicken crow?"

Luo Chen's gaze shifted, and he quickly landed on the East Wing.

Gu Caiyi also got up and looked over curiously.

The door opens.

A man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in white, walked out with a frosty face.

He glanced at Luo Chen and Gu Caiyi, turned around and walked out of the courtyard without saying a word.

Luo Chen opened his mouth wide and pointed at his back.

"How rude!"

"Is it a new neighbor?" Gu Caiyi frowned.

Yesterday the two of them also talked about the fact that after Fu Xiuxiu left, the East Wing was vacant.

Unknowingly today, a new person moved in.

And that product is not easy to match at first glance.

Not even the courtesy of saying hello to each other.

"It's a tenant brought over by Senior Sun. It is said that it comes from the Duan family of the Xiuxian family nearby. It's called Duan Feng."

The one who spoke was Qin Liangchen who had just left the house.

He stretched himself, looking tired.

Of the few people in the courtyard, he was the most relaxed.

With the name of an elder, you don't need to worry about anything, and you are paid a white salary every month.

Naturally, he knows these trivial matters better than anyone else.

Duan family?

Luo Chen asked curiously: "Doesn't the Duan family have an ice and fire spiritual spring? Although it is not as big as a spiritual vein, it is comparable to a first-order spiritual vein in a small area. Why did the members of their family come to live in the inner city?"

"The Xiuxian family is not in harmony. Duanfeng broke up with the patriarch's son, and he is the only one left in his line."

"So he moved to live in the inner city?" Luo Chen shook his head, "That's not reasonable either!"

Qin Liangchen shrugged, "What's the reason? He came here to discuss the Daotai. Now he is still listed on the Dahefang Tianjiao list, ranking nineteenth."

After saying this, Luo Chen instantly understood.

Now there are indeed such a group of monks in Dahefang.

They don't have any special skills, and they don't rely on the big rivers to practice like the Poshan Gang and the Dajiang Gang.

Their way of practice is to participate in the Dao Discussion Competition and get rewards.

If you can rank in the top three at the end of the month, you can also get huge rewards.

Duan Feng, the abandoned son of this family, obviously took this path.

"So, he can fight well?"

Qin Liangchen thought for a while, "It's considered able to fight, it's worse than when I was in my prime, and better than I am now."

After such a long time, Qin Liangchen gradually got used to the new arm.

His fighting strength has also gradually returned to the level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Luo Chen curled his lips, "What's the use of being able to fight? When you come out to play, you have to talk about power and background. Cut, you're just a rude little bastard!"

After speaking, he greeted Gu Caiyi and went out.

But when going out, the direction is towards the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion.

Maybe it was too early to go out. There were not many people around the Jiange or the Baishi Square opposite.

Hey, Xiaoyue came out to set up a stall so early!

Just as Luo Chen was about to say hello, he saw his new neighbor Duan Feng walking to the small stall.

Bought a bottle of [-]-year-old pineapple wine.

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, this is definitely not some bum, this is his dearest and most beloved client!

"Fellow Daoist, let's get acquainted. I am Luo Chen, the neighbor next to you. This beauty is Gu Caiyi from the main house."

The young man in white uttered two words indifferently.

"Duan Feng."

"What a good name! The sharp edge of the sword is sharpened, and the spirit of Daoist friend is in full swing, and today he will definitely defeat the opponent."

Duan Feng glanced at Luo Chen and shook his head slowly.

"Nangong Qin is not weak."

A vein twitched on Luo Chen's forehead.

Hey, what kind of eyes do you have!

It means that I am weak!

Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you are my client, ten or eight fireballs would kill you.

I thought so in my heart, but there was still a flower-like smile on my face.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, if you drink our wine, your combat power will definitely skyrocket."

After finishing speaking, he called out to Yuan Xiaoyue, who was well-behaved beside him.

"Xiaoyue, this is my neighbor. He will give you a discount when he buys things in the future. Buy ten bottles of pineapple wine and get a free fairy bean!"

"Well, I see, Brother Luo." Yuan Xiaoyue was obedient and clever, and took note of Duan Feng's appearance.

Only then did Duan Feng realize that this food stall belongs to Luo Chen.

He nodded to Luo Chen, "Thank you!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped straight into the passage to the Luofeng Mountain Discussion Platform.

The monk who sold the tickets yawned and didn't ask any questions.

It seems that he is very familiar with this person, knowing that the other party is not a spectator, but a contestant.

Gu Caiyi stood beside her with a smile, "You who have always been stingy, why are you so generous today?"

"Hehe, I've always been generous to my neighbors!"

Luo Chen replied.

He wouldn't say anything about cultivating user habits.

When that kid gets used to drinking immortal beans in the future, he will naturally give out extra spirit stones to buy immortal beans.

Earning spirit stones requires skill!

He didn't bother to talk about these things.

"Go, go to the Moon Valley, there is no way you can fail today!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Luo Chen left in high spirits.

……

With the failure of the three furnaces yesterday and the bottom, today's luck is very good.

In the afternoon, Luo Chen succeeded once.

It was successful on his own Ziyun copper stove that he was familiar with.

It may also be the reason why he is familiar with this alchemy furnace. Anyway, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief seeing twenty chalcedony pills collected in the alchemy room.

The proficiency at the entry stage, the failure rate is really too high.

It takes ten times to succeed once.

The loss of raw materials is too great.

But as long as the proficiency is up, everything will be easy to handle.

Although the profits of Zhongmiao Pills are high, the market is too small to support his future practice.

Chalcedony Dan does have that market potential!
"I don't know that old man Mi Shuhua, how is the channel going?"

When thinking like this, Luo Chen's eyes suddenly hurt.

A trace of blood flowed strangely along the eye sockets on both sides.

"Luo Chen, what's wrong with you?"

With his eyes closed, Gu Caiyi's worried voice came from his ears.

He raised his hand and waved.

"It's okay, you guys are busy first, I'll go in and have a rest. Maybe it's because there's been too much alchemy recently, and the spirit eyes have been used all the time, so my eyes can't stand it."

Gu Caiyi watched worriedly as he stumbled into the house.

Immediately, a blue light curtain rose.

It was Luo Chen who activated the first-order formation in the stone house.

In the room, Luo Chen had already opened his eyes.

After wiping off the bloodstains, it seemed to be the same as before.

However, the whole world has changed!

In his eyes, the world suddenly became vivid.

The house exudes a meager aura, which comes from the depths of the ground.

The Oblique Moon Valley is the mine where the Jade Tripod Jiange mined the Star Silver Mine, and there is indeed a branch of the first-order spiritual vein of Luofeng Mountain underneath.

That's why Mi Shuhua purposely rented the right to use this place to process the collected herbs.

Besides, Luo Chen also saw many things.

The azure light curtain originated from a few array flags, and the energy source of the array flags was a few low-grade spirit stones.

Outside the light curtain, there are monks gathered in Dantang.

Those people also exude light clusters, colorful, corresponding to the spiritual power of the five elements.

Gazing at this brand new world with both eyes, Luo Chen was in a trance.

The spiritual eye technique has been upgraded to the master level!

This spell he acquired later was used very frequently because of his frequent alchemy.

Finally upgraded now.

But the performance of leveling up is completely different from other fireball techniques, free and unfettered games, and Yufeng Jue.

The grand master fireball technique can now release ten fireballs at the same time.

Yufeng Jue is on the reduction of spiritual power consumption.

There is no bonus to getaway, it is purely more proficient.

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that the escape itself is not a spell, but just a mundane light work.

However, the spiritual eye technique seemed to have performed an operation on his eyes.

After the operation, Luo Chen realized that he no longer had to take the initiative to make a formula every time to draw spiritual energy into his eyes.

Now this spell has been rooted in his eyes.

As long as he wanted to, he could activate the spiritual eyes without others noticing.

Even if he has been maintaining spiritual vision, monks of the same level cannot detect it, and perhaps a higher level of foundation-building stage monks can hardly detect it.

Not only that, but also more than ten times more sensitive to the perception of spiritual energy fluctuations.

The eyes wander, up and down, left and right, far and near.

Suddenly, Luo Chen's eyes stopped on the ground.

He seemed to have seen through countless thick rock walls and reached the depths of the earth veins.

"Such a rich spiritual energy accumulation?"
