Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

"This girl Tao Wan is very strong!"

"Generally speaking, after the monks have advanced to the late stage of foundation establishment, the gap between them is not that big when they don't use magic weapons."

"Everyone has a strong reserve of spiritual power, and the limit of the power that ordinary instruments can release is just that."

"Therefore, the criterion for judging the strength of a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment lies more in the degree of sacrifice to the magic weapon."

"The deeper the level of sacrifice, the greater the power of the magic weapon displayed, and the stronger the strength displayed."

Hear this explanation.

Luo Chen couldn't help asking: "So one-sided? In the battle of monks, there should be other things to consider, such as talismans, spells, secret techniques, formations, puppets, etc."

Chu Kui shrugged.

"So I said, under normal circumstances."

"Like what you said, high-level talismans can be encountered but not sought after, spells are easy to learn but difficult to master, secret techniques are rare, formations have to be prepared in advance..."

Luo Chen raised his hand, "Okay, I understand what you mean."

Chu Kui smiled, but he had forgotten that Luo Chen's first battle on the Qinhua River was due to his superb spells and his prestige.

Thinking about it carefully, in the world of cultivating immortals in the Eastern Desolation, there is indeed a Five Elements Sect known for its magic.

What I said was indeed too one-sided.

"Let's just talk about the influence of treasures on the strength of foundation-building monks!"

"Like those early-stage generations, if they can master 10 to 20 percent, they are considered to have little strength."

"A middle-stage monk like you, if you can sacrifice 30% to 40% of the sacrifice, you will rarely be able to stop enemies of the same level under a sudden blow."

Luo Chen nodded in agreement.

The power of the magic weapon is indeed far superior to that of ordinary magic weapons.

It is even said that it should not be a sharp weapon at the level of a foundation-building monk.

For example, when Wang Haichao forcibly activated the Xuanhuo Sword, he destroyed his top-grade magic weapon, the Qingmush Jujiao Banner.

If he hadn't had the Lan Ke black chess to temporarily defend, and he was also in the early stage of foundation establishment, he might also be seriously injured.

but!

Chu Kui underestimated him.

With his powerful spiritual background and the use of spiritual restraint methods to sacrifice, he has an extremely high degree of mastery of the Xuanhuo Sword.

Later, it went through the sacrificial training of the Yanlong Nine-Turn Formation.

He is now in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and he has refined the Xuanhuo sword sacrifice to about 60%.

In other words, he can use this magic weapon with 60% of its power!

That's why he was able to unleash his sword and instantly kill Fei Changqiu of Shengongmen in an instant.

According to Chu Kui's theory.

For a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment, as long as he refines the magic weapon sacrifice to 50% of its power, he can be considered a strong man of the same level.

Then Luo Chen, how should he judge his strength now?

"Tao Wan is strong, she is strong, she has a magic weapon left by the Nanshan ancestor since she was a child, Liuyun Feixiu!"

"In the world of cultivating immortals, there are countless magic weapons and magic weapons named after Liuyun Feixiu. But Tao Wan's one is quite powerful. It is rumored that it was forged by the Taishang of Tianfan City in the early years, and it is qualified to be the magic weapon of life. A good thing for sacrifice."

"Tao Wan has been familiar with this treasure since she was a child. After the foundation was built, she practiced it diligently. She can already use it to perfection!"

"From my point of view, she has refined it to about 70%, or even 80%!"

Chu Kui sighed again and again, with admiration in his eyes.

You know, for a magic weapon, a true foundation builder can only exert about 80% of its power at most.

No matter how high it is, limited to the boundary level, it is impossible.

"I fought against her once on the Dao Discussion Stage."

"Although it's just a simple exchange of ideas and doesn't involve a life-and-death struggle. But her magic weapon has a very obvious restraint effect on my fierce and domineering Heavenly Equaling Staff."

"Yes, she is ranked third and I am ranked seventh. I am very convinced."

Luo Chen was surprised and said: "It's rare to see you admire monks of the same rank so much! When you mentioned Tantai, you didn't even have much respect."

"What is there to respect about the women of Ice Castle? They are capricious and changeable."

Chu Kui pouted.

That is to say, he was far away from Tianlan Immortal City. Normally, he wouldn't speak ill of the ice castle nun behind his back like this.

Closer to home!

"From my point of view, the vast Qingdan Valley doesn't count those late-stage foundation-building monks of the older generation. Among her peers, only Danyangzi can hold Tao Wan at a head, and He Yuanqing and Fu Li are no more than siblings to her." .”

The evaluation is so high?

Luo Chen asked curiously, "What about Shangguan Yan?"

"Tch, a proud and conceited stupid woman, she can't even rank in the top three in Qingdan Valley's own fairy city, how can she compare with Tao Wan?"

Is Shangguan Yan's evaluation so low?

Thinking of the hasty side of the Foreign Affairs Hall, Luo Chen was thoughtful.

The opponent used the method of poaching the wall to weaken Tao Wan's competitiveness.

It can be seen that its own strength is indeed not too powerful.

"So, you are very optimistic about Tao Wan winning the Dao Seed position?" Luo Chen said.

Chu Kui smiled.

"This can't be said for sure."

"how do I say this?"

Chu Kui talked eloquently, "The competition between Dao species in Qingdan Valley depends not only on personal strength, but on comprehensive ability. Such as financial resources, alchemy, connections, etc."

"This point, you should analyze it from the ranking of the Great True Legend before the True Sword Fighting."

Luo Chen chewed these words.

In the end, I had to admit that it was indeed very similar to what Chu Kui said.

Whether it's the first round of the arena battle for the true biography, or the second round of the alchemy competition, it all involves their respective comprehensive strengths.

Otherwise, just relying on being able to fight, you may not be able to sit in the position of the Nine Great True Inheritance.

Only the last round of true sword fighting is the real test of personal strength.

Chu Kui looked at Luo Chen involuntarily, "Speaking of which, you were invited by her, so you won't have to go to the ring for a few rounds then, right?"

He still recognizes what Lord Huo Ling can do.

But if it comes to the battle between the late stage of foundation establishment, he is not too optimistic.

Luo Chen looked at him with a half-smile.

"Forgot my other dao name?"

Chu Kui was taken aback.

Then he laughed.

"I forgot, you were originally called Dan Chenzi."

...

"Dan Chenzi?"

"Interesting, interesting!"

"A mid-stage foundation-building cultivator can actually have a double-dao number. Is it so easy to mess around in the casual cultivator world now?"

On Yuxuan Mountain.

He Yuanqing couldn't help laughing when he saw the information about Luo Chen collected by the people below.

He already knew that Luo Chen was not the candidate for the ring battle, but an alchemist Tao Wan had no choice but to invite after Huang Hezi surrendered to the enemy.

What they did was probably the second round of alchemy competition.

He Yuanqing didn't care much about the alchemy master who came up from a casual cultivator group.

But I saw in the information that He Yun from his He family once had a relationship with Luo Chen.

He Yuanqing's eyes froze.

"Come on, please He Yun come to me."

"Young patriarch, Xuan Yunzi has recently devoted himself to studying alchemy, preparing for the alchemy competition."

He Yuanqing's eyes turned cold.

"When I don't know that the alchemy competition is based on accumulation?"

"Grinding the gun in front of the battle, how much improvement can it make?"

"Hurry up and invite me!"

The cultivator of the He family no longer refuted, and ran out in a hurry with his head down.

About Mozhan tea time.

Xuan Yunzi He Yun, one of the seven sons of Qingdan, came outside the door with an irritable expression on his face.

"Brother Yun, the young patriarch is waiting for you inside."

"Okay, you go down first!"

After waving his hands and retreating, Xuan Yunzi took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face.

Push the door and enter.

"Brother Yuanqing, what can I do for you?"

He Yuanqing stared at him with a pair of eyes, and after taking a closer look, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"He Yun, are you planning to imitate Huang Hezi and only care about alchemy and don't even care about cultivation?"

Xuan Yunzi said as a matter of course: "The way of alchemy is extensive and profound, and I have only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg now. If I don't devote all my energy to it, there is no way to become a generation of alchemy masters."

"What's more, my aptitude is low, and the foundation building has been cultivated by the family, so how dare I think about the Golden Core Dao."

"Brother Yuanqing is enough for the family to have the white jade pillar that holds up the sky. I just need to use my alchemy skills and contribute to the family!"

A few words, said slowly, slowly, eloquently.

Really listen to people, like spring breeze!

The smile on He Yuanqing's face was no longer concealed.

"It's great that you have such a heart!"

"If I win the position of Dao Seed and take charge of the Qingdan Valley in the future, I will definitely call you into the Taidan Academy!"

Hear the words "Taidanyuan".

Xuan Yunzi showed joy on his face.

"Little brother must do his best to help you win the alchemy competition!"

"I believe in your alchemy skills. Although you are a rising star, except for Danyangzi who can stabilize you, the other five masters are definitely no match for you!"

"Brother Yuan Qing praised me so much, I can only say that my younger brother will do his best!"

After some tugging, brother and friend.

He Yuanqing said suddenly: "Dan Chen son Luo Chen, do you know him?"

Hear Luo Chen's name.

Xuan Yunzi's face stiffened subconsciously, but soon, he nodded.

"I do know him, he is a very interesting friend."

"It's just interesting?" He Yuanqing asked back, looking at Xuan Yunzi who didn't know why, he said bluntly: "He also wants to participate in the alchemy competition and replace Tao Wan in the battle. Do you know anything about his alchemy attainments?"

It turned out to be for this matter!

Xuan Yunzi heaved a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he stroked his chin and said, "Luo Chen is able to obtain the name of Pill Chenzi, so he must be good at alchemy. As far as I know, he is very good at refining a first-level elixir, and he can easily become a top-grade one."

"It's easy to achieve the first-rank top grade!"

He Yuanqing lost his voice, with an unconcealable surprise on his face.

Alchemy, no matter whether it is the first level or the second level, it is not surprising.

But if you can achieve high-grade pills stably, it will be a bit scary.

This means more than talent.

There is also this practice that has been tempered and tempered.

Alchemy skills have been polished to a solid level!

Today's Qingdan Seven Sons, most of them find it difficult to achieve this level.

They extravagantly wanted to refine higher-level pills, but they didn't care much about repetitive and boring low-level pills.

Only those brothers who are over two hundred years old who study alchemy all day long in the Taidan Academy in Danyang Peak have such attainments!

Xuan Yunzi said casually: "The elixir is called Chalcedony Pill. I have tried it, and the potency of the top-grade Chalcedony Pellet is only comparable to Yaowangzong's low-grade Qi Yang Pill."

"call!"

"I see!"

"You should have said it earlier!"

He Yuanqing was obviously relieved.

This kind of elixir that has reached the top-grade level and is only comparable to the low-grade Yangqi Pill must be some low-quality goods that have been circulated outside.

In terms of refining, there is no difficulty at all.

As long as they use dim sum, many people in Qingdan Valley can reach that level.

In this way, Luo Chen has nothing to fear.

The so-called Dao name of Dan Chenzi is probably given to him as a compliment to an incompetent casual cultivator who knows how to make alchemy.

In this way, Tao Wan has nothing to worry about.

All the troubles in my heart go away.

He Yuanqing said with a smile: "I have great confidence in winning the first round, and I will unite with other people to consume Senior Brother Danyangzi as much as possible to create good conditions for you. When the time comes, don't let me down!"

Xuan Yunzi felt a sense of pressure, bowed and said, "Little brother must do his best!"

"Not trying my best, but trying my best!" He Yuanqing spoke almost word for word, "I want to enter the third round as the number one true biography!"

Xuan Yunzi's waist bent even deeper.

That almost paranoid gaze fell on him like a light on his back!

...

Back in the Mohe Garden, Luo Chen told the two Tao Family Qi Refining monks who were accompanying him to pay attention to the fact that there might be guests looking for him recently.

He made a large number of transactions on Gaoyanglou Trading Jade Bi.

The contact address left is the Xiaonanshan Tao family.

After finishing the order, Luo Chen entered the courtyard and closed the gate.

This familiar scene made the two accompanying Tao family gas refiners feel extremely moved.

Other outside monks, after being invited to Qingdan Valley, are always keen to go around and make friends and visit the real masters in the valley.

Open up contacts, collect resources, exchange cultivation experience and so on.

Only this guest invited by their Tao family.

After coming, if there is nothing wrong, I will not go out of the gate without going out.

Like a penance!

Perhaps, this is also the reason why others can build a foundation with a casual cultivator, and they can also have a good alchemy technique!

Actually.

Luo Chen is indeed an ascetic monk, but it's not that he doesn't manage personal connections.

The reason why he came to Qingdan Valley was that he was quiet and didn't move around.

the reason is simple.

The Tao family is already the limit of the contacts he can make so far.

Before he showed more outstanding value, since he entered Qingdan Valley, he had already been marked with the Xiaonanshan Tao family logo.

Under such circumstances, what new contacts can he manage?

Nodding acquaintance? Wine and meat friends?

No!

Going out frequently will easily arouse Tao Wan's suspicion.

After all, the other party had only experienced Huang Hezi's rebellion before.

As for other people's thoughts, as long as the state is not too far behind, Luo Chen can still guess clearly.

Like now, studying alchemy honestly and practicing behind closed doors every day is what Tao Wan wants to see the most!

Back in the practice room, Luo Chen took out the Resurrection Pill and looked at it carefully.

From time to time, some alchemy is also used to separate some fine powders to judge the approximate potency of the medicine.

Things that ordinary foundation building true cultivators can't do.

In front of him, a master-level alchemist, it was actually not that difficult.

After some testing, Luo Chen put away the Resurrection Pill in satisfaction.

Liao Liang exaggerated a bit, but he didn't lie.

Although this Resurrection Pill did not have more than half of its potency left as it was advertised, it did indeed have 30% of its potency remaining.

Although it doesn't have much effect on the realm of Jindan Master.

But for Foundation Establishment True Cultivation, it is enough.

Isn't he now a monk in the Foundation Establishment Period?

"There's one more life-saving hole card!"

With a chuckle, Luo Chen adjusted his mood and began to meditate.

Although Xiaonanshan is a second-order spiritual land, its spiritual energy concentration is relatively average.

Tao Wan has already arranged the best training area for him, but the concentration of spiritual energy is only at the level of Tianlan Peak's middle-grade cave.

As a result, his cultivation speed has slowed down by half.

However, this is all temporary.

True Sword Fighting and Dao Seed Contest are coming soon, but it will only be delayed for one or two months.

It has been a month since he came to Tao's house in Qingdan Valley.

Without suspending the practice every day, the cultivation base is slowly increasing.

Nothing to say all night.

On the second day, Luo Chen woke up.

Check out the system panel.

[Boundary: Foundation Establishment 5th Floor 2/100]

It took a full month to increase by one progress.

To reach the sixth floor of Foundation Establishment at such a speed, it would take ten years!

"I have to end the things here as soon as possible, and then go back to Tianlan Immortal City, and practice with the help of the upper-grade cave."

After the establishment of the foundation, the importance of the spiritual land to monks has jumped to the first place!

Luo Chen had already begun to miss the rich aura of the Shangpin Dongfu.

Out of the practice room.

Luo Chen was about to eat the sumptuous breakfast that Tao's family had prepared for him, when his gaze fell on the woman squatting in front of the pond, playing with lotus leaves in front of the courtyard.

Because it is squatting.

It is curvy and exquisite, with protruding waist and hips.

The soft silk satin clings to the jade back, and three thousand black silk sticks to it, exuding a deep luster under the reflection of the rising sun.

A little hair, hanging down to the water.

In the clear water, there are some expectant and apprehensive faces reflected.

It seems to have noticed that others are watching.

Tao Wan raised her head and looked at Luo Chen who was standing by the window, looking radiant.

She stood up gracefully, brushing the hair from her cheeks behind her ears.

"Fellow Daoist, the Dao Seed War has begun!"
