Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Deterrence spell, a gradeless spell.

The power depends on the strength of the caster's own soul.

If the caster has reached the level of foundation building, and the spiritual consciousness is released, the soul of the enemy can be absorbed in just one scroll.

If the realm is less than the foundation building, you can only use your binoculars as a medium to cast it on the enemy.

At this time, the ingestion effect of the deterrent spell is greatly reduced, and it can only deter and intimidate.

Of course, if the difference in the strength of the soul is too large, it is also possible to forcefully absorb the soul of others.

That's why Gu Yue, the soul-refining and scattered person, often beat the enemy to serious injuries, or when killing them, before the monk's soul dissipated, he forcibly ingested it and then merged it into his body.

Luo Chen is only at the entry level now.

The green light of the eyes was shining brightly, and the thumping pheasant on the opposite side instantly became quiet.

At the same time, Luo Chen also felt that his head became heavier.

It was as if something was hanging from his soul, pulling it out.

The two sides are like a "tug of war" at this moment.

But the pheasant is just an ordinary beast, its intelligence is not yet developed, and its soul is weak.

With just a thought, he gained the dominance of the tug-of-war.

"come out!"

He muttered silently in his heart, and the next moment he felt an illusory thing, which he extracted from the pheasant.

The moment I came out, the surrounding temperature was a little chilly.

But it was still in the middle of winter at this time, and it was already extremely cold, and the two nearby Zhou and Liu didn't notice it.

At most, it was regarded as a cold wind blowing past.

They couldn't see the extremely weak beast soul, but that didn't mean Luo Chen couldn't see it.

Dzogchen's spiritual eyesight is enough for him to see such invisible things.

"Is it so weak?"

"Even, out of shape."

In his line of sight, there was a small transparent light cluster in front of him.

It's so weak that it can't even give people the slightest sense of threat.

But that trembling, bewildered look was clearly the soul of the pheasant.

A slight pulling force came from the body of the pheasant lying on the ground.

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

He knew that if he loosened the deterrent spell, the soul could return to the pheasant in a short time.

In this way, maybe the pheasant will become stupid, but at least it can continue to live.

"Unfortunately, when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, there is a shortage of food, so I can only wrong you."

The corners of Luo Chen's mouth raised slightly, and with a thought, his eyes slowly fell into the small flower pot he took out.

While his gaze was shifting, the little light ball of the pheasant's soul also slowly fell into the flower pot.

In the flower pot, the soul-cultivating tree that only revealed three new buds seemed to sense something.

Instinctively, stretch out new shoots.

The light cluster instantly merged into one of the buds.

Soul-nourishing tree, a kind of Yin-type spiritual plant.

It usually grows in cold and cold places, and will naturally absorb and devour nearby ghosts.

This tree has many functions, such as making soul magic weapons, accumulating spirits, storing lonely ghosts and so on.

But to have these effects, at least the tree must be over a thousand years old.

So when Feng Xia gave him the soul-cultivating tree seed, he didn't take it seriously.

How many thousand years are there in a person's life?

Most of the time, none.

Therefore, he randomly gave the seeds to Qu Lingjun to play.

Unexpectedly, he actually planted it.

I don't know how to do it.

At this moment, Luo Chen can be regarded as waste.

The soul absorbed by the divine deterrence technique cannot be absorbed and melted unless he has practiced the true art of refining the soul.

It's better to put it into the soul-cultivating tree and help it grow one or two.

After the pheasant soul light group entered it, a bud of the soul-cultivating tree faintly flashed away.

It was only after confirming that the pheasant soul had been absorbed that Luo Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

Close your eyes and open them again.

He didn't have the feeling that his soul was being pulled.

Glancing at the attribute panel, it is still in the entry stage, and the proficiency has not improved at all.

"It seems that the mere pheasant soul can improve the proficiency very limited."

"However, the accumulation of less makes more, let's get familiar with the process step by step first."

Luo Chen was not discouraged, and nodded to Liu Qiang beside him.

Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.

Without thinking, he opened his pocket and took out another pheasant.

"Come again!"

Luo Chen didn't shy away from the two of them, his eyes glowed green again.

...

Two hours later.

Luo Chen finished his practice of deterring magic, and led the two of them back in a leisurely manner.

Instead of flying, walk slowly like walking.

Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang followed closely behind, looking at him with faint awe.

Luo Chen didn't care about these.

Practicing the deterrent technique is full of dangers, whether it is internal or external.

Therefore, he needs someone to protect the law.

For now, there is no doubt about Zhou and Liu's loyalty to him.

In addition to character, the treatment he gave was not what other forces could give them.

Therefore, he is not worried that the two of them will talk about this kind of thing.

He looked down at the flower pot in his hand.

After absorbing the souls of several pheasants and a hyena, the green light of the soul-cultivating tree became more and more intense.

Even the young shoots were slightly fattened by three points.

If it weren't for the Dzogchen Spiritual Eye Technique, it would be difficult for Luo Chen to notice this kind of growth.

He nodded slightly, it seemed that the Soul Cultivation Tree could indeed absorb and devour ghosts.

Although it is estimated that this tree will be rarely used in this life, it is okay to keep it.

Flowers and plants, cultivate sentiment!

Now, he pays more attention to his own changes.

The proficiency of Deterrence Art has been improved very little. After six or seven times of casting and absorbing seven souls, it only increased one proficiency.

I don't know how long it will take to go from beginner to proficient level.

The change that surprised him was not the increase in the proficiency of the Deterrence Technique.

It's the improvement of his soul!

After taking the Tongyou Pill last night, his soul has skyrocketed a lot!

But that kind of skyrocketing made him feel dizzy and erratic for a while.

Even when practicing and alchemy, it is difficult to concentrate.

That kind of feeling is like a person who is too full after eating Hesai suddenly.

For a while, the body cannot adapt, and it is impossible to concentrate on doing anything, let alone exercise learning.

But after practicing the deterrent technique, Luo Chen keenly discovered that kind of skyrocketing soul.

Without the sense of vanity, it becomes more solid.

"Tongyou Pill increases the depth of the soul."

"The Deterrence Technique is polished and tempered, and the skyrocketing soul is polished to perfection."

"In this way, I can quickly eliminate the aftereffects of taking Tongyou Pill, and also make my soul more resilient."

After reaching this conclusion, Luo Chen couldn't help being ecstatic.

This means that the frequency that he originally estimated to swallow a Tongyou Pill in half a month can be reduced to once every ten days.

Increasing the frequency of taking elixir does not seem to be of much use, and it consumes a lot of elixir.

But in fact, the effect is too great.

Take Yangqi Pill and Huachen Pill as examples.

In the beginning, Luo Chen could only digest one a day.

At that time, he had no money, and this speed was even too fast.

But as his net worth became richer and richer, this speed actually hindered his practice.

It was only after Changchun Kung Fu reached the master level and opened up the meridians that he could digest two pills a day.

For now, Luo Chen even felt that it was too slow.

It would be great if it could be increased to three or four pills a day.

Generally speaking, Luo Chen's practice method belongs to "resources for time"!

For each practice, two Chenchen Pills are worth forty spirit stones, one Anshenxiang is worth twelve, and one piece of Peiyuan Spiritual Liquid is worth ten yuan. In addition, using the spirit-gathering array to draw wood-type aura will consume another five spirit stones. , That's sixty-seven spirit stones.

Not to mention that he used to swallow high-grade chalcedony pills from time to time, which counted as ten spirit stones.

If you add auxiliary cultivation resources such as Moonlight Grass and Lingmai Cave.

Luo Chen's daily consumption of resources, converted into spirit stones, was almost as high as eighty spirit stones.

After a month, more than 2,000, and 20,000 to 30,000 a year!

Even improve the soul, body, eyes, the elf pill used for the essence of aura, the repairing and moistening liquid used to repair the damage to the meridians caused by excessive practice, and so on!

He hasn't counted these pills yet.

If you really want to add more, he is just a monk in the qi refining period, and he consumes tens of thousands of resources in one year!

What is this concept?

This spirit stone is enough for a monk with normal aptitude to start from scratch and practice all the way to the Great Consummation of Qi Refining!

Looking at Luo Chen like being taken advantage of.

But in reality, it would take decades for normal monks to take this money to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

As for Luo Chen, it only took less than two years!

This is trading resources for time.

Only Luo Chen can do it, others don't even think about it, even sect disciples can hardly do it.

There is no other, because Luo Chen is a "noble alchemist".

He has this strength and wealth, allowing him to cross the dual spiritual roots with his inferior aptitude, even comparable to the cultivation speed of a monk with the heavenly root.

Just like this, Luo Chen still disliked that his resource utilization rate was not high enough.

It would be even better if the frequency of refining elixirs in a day can be increased again.

...

When Luo Chen returned to Luo Tianhui, he happened to meet a visitor.

It was Nangong Qin, the young master of the Nangong family.

Gu Caiyi was greeting him.

"Didn't you say yes, we will deliver the goods to your door, why bother fellow daoist to come here in person."

"Ahem..."

Nangong Qin looked a little pale, he shook his head and said:

"The Nangong family is under martial law recently, and the family may be closed for a period of time, so the number of chalcedony pills needed is a bit large, so I can only go there myself."

outside the hall.

Luo Chen frowned when he heard this.

Martial law at the Nangong family?

hall.

Gu Caiyi said in embarrassment: "Every one of your chalcedony pills has a predetermined share, and the sudden increase of three times will make it difficult for us to do it!"

"It's nothing difficult to do." Nangong Qin took out a bag, "We don't want to discount, just buy at the original price."

For several foundation building families, Luo Tianhui directly gave them the treatment of gilded VIPs.

Not only does it provide door-to-door delivery services, but it also gives a 20% discount on purchases.

In other words, a bottle of chalcedony pill sold for 50 spirit stones in the market, and several foundation-establishing families only needed to spend 40 spirit stones to buy it.

This move not only intends to occupy the pill market, but also shows goodwill to the major families.

Now that the Nangong family doesn't want that discount, the loss is not ten spirit stones.

Fifty bottles a month, and now they suddenly want 200 bottles, and the loss is a full 2,000 spirit stones!

Gu Caiyi was a little moved.

However, the demand for pills in the market is also very high.

The price of Yangqi Pills circulating on the black market is very high, which is a great opportunity for them to consolidate the market.

When she was hesitating, Luo Chen stepped into the living room.

He laughed heartily and said, "Since we are so sincere, why don't we be beautiful as adults?"

"Caiyi, send someone to fetch two hundred bottles of chalcedony pill."

It would be nice if someone made the decision.

Gu Caiyi nodded to Luo Chen, then hurriedly turned and left.

At this moment, only Luo Chen and Nan Gongqin were left in the hall.

Looking at each other, Luo Chen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Nangong, don't come here without any problems!"

Nangong Qin smiled wryly, and just about to speak, he couldn't help coughing violently.

cough cough cough...

After coughing violently, he said bitterly: "Let President Luo laugh at you."

Luo Chen shook his head, "Being able to lead people into the ghost city and escape from the ghost general's hand, I can only respect, not ridicule."

Then, he asked curiously, "What's going on in the ghost town?"

Now there is a need for someone, and the attitude of the other party is still so good.

Coupled with the scandal a while ago, it has spread throughout Dahefang.

Nangongqin had nothing to hide, sighed, and told the story of the ghost town.

The two chatted for a long time, and it was not until Gu Caiyi brought all the chalcedony pills that Nangong Qin left.

Luo Chen personally sent it to the gate.

Seeing the monks of the Nangong family, driving the escape light, they left in a hurry.

Luo Chen said softly: "The Nangong family is going to rest for a while."

"Recuperation?" Gu Caiyi was puzzled, "But didn't they just harvest a few pieces of land from the Poshan Gang?"

"No matter how many sites there are, someone needs to manage them!"

What the Nangong family lacks most now is people!

Luo Chen smiled and said no more.

The Nangong family were originally outsiders.

Back then at Xuelianfang, I didn't get along very well, and it happened that Dahefang opened a discussion platform, so I decided to move here.

In order to gain a foothold here, they spent a lot of effort.

Join Xuan Yihui and send the strongest junior in the family to make a name for themselves on the Dao Discussion Stage.

Later, he participated in the action to carve up the Broken Mountain Gang.

If all goes well, relying on the family's young and powerful Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and the talented Qi Refining juniors will be enough to open up the situation in Dahefang.

However, this process has not been smooth.

First, he blocked Qin Liangchen's battle and lost a group of people.

Later, there was a conflict with the Li family, an old local cultivating family, and many people died.

Now the ghost city party, I don't know how much they have gained, but they have died in nine late stages of Qi refining.

It's already considered a serious injury!

In this case, the many sites that were previously fought for have become a trend that cannot be lost.

If those sites are forcibly managed, it will be easily dragged into the quagmire by other forces.

The Nangong family has far-reaching people.

Therefore, the decision to recuperate was made.

The large-scale purchase of chalcedony pills this time is a preparation for recuperation.

With this batch of elixirs, and giving them enough time, they can definitely train another batch of family monks in the mid-stage or even late stage of Qi refining.

At that time, they can stand up again.

It makes sense.

Luo Chen understood it as soon as he thought about it.

Perhaps, there is also the reason for the increase in spiritual background!

His attention was still on the information that Nangong Qin had said before he left.

"Ghost city, maybe more than one ghost general?"

Eyes narrowed slightly, Luo Chen felt a sense of urgency.

If the ghost is going to leave the city, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm.

There is no such thing as weighing the pros and cons of such vicious and vicious people, and the benefits are touching.

If we were to meet a ghost general, even if Luo Chen could refine a second-tier or third-tier elixir, the other party might not care.

After all, this kind of sudden ghost is not an orthodox ghost cultivator.

Can't reason with it.

"So, we still need to strengthen our strength!"

...

"Listen to you, this Luo Chen is really amazing!"

Once the land of the Mi family, now the headquarters of the Nangong family.

In the quiet room, Nangong Jin opened his eyes and looked at his ruddy son.

At this moment, Nangong Qin no longer looked like a sick and consumptive ghost. Although he was not very energetic, he didn't look like he was about to cough at every turn.

He nodded and said, "Luo Chen got a lot of information about the ghost city from me, but even in the end, he didn't reveal any idea of ​​wanting to enter the city."

"So, we, Meng Lang, were the ones back then."

Nangong Jin sighed.

The death of nine late Qi refining monks was also a huge blow to their Nangong family.

It is because the benefits of the ghost city are too great, and he got a lot of magic weapons against ghosts from the Zhenlong black market, so he started to explore the ghost city.

The result was unexpected...

On the contrary, this Luo Chen, who is in charge of a power with his cultivation base of qi refining, can still hold back his greed.

It really impressed him.

This time, he was willing to show favor to the Nangong family and give a large amount of pills, which shows his strength.

"Not only his knowledge and demeanor, but also the feeling he gave me is completely different from before."

"oh?"

Nangong Qin frowned deeply, and said with a hint of uncertainty:

"In front of him, I actually have a feeling of facing your father, and the pressure is quite high."

Nangong Jin frowned, "Is this true?"

"Hmm!" Nangong Qin seemed to be recalling the previous meeting scene, he said with an unnatural expression:

"In front of him, I seem to have a feeling that my whole body is seen through."

"Not only that, but in retrospect, the rhythm of the conversation has been dominated by him."

"It's as if... I'm facing a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!"

After hearing these words, Nangong Jin fell into deep thought.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It doesn't matter, the more outstanding Luo Chen is, the better it will be for us."

"The other companies have always been jealous of his alchemy."

"If he attracts attention in front, it will also help us share the pressure and overcome the difficulties in front of us."

Having said that, he looked at Nangong Qin with pity.

"Take a rest for a while!"

"Ghost City and his party, although they didn't hurt Yuanyuan, they still hurt you a lot."

"Taking advantage of this period of time, practice hard and reach the perfection of Qi refining as soon as possible. I will keep that Foundation Establishment Pill for you."

Nangong Qin was overjoyed and bowed in salute.

After he retreated, Nangong Jin thought about it silently before suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.

"No matter what, the family must not be cut off in my generation."

"Even if the misfortune is brought to the east... Luo Chen..."
