Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

A civil war in Yuding lasted for twenty years.

One after another, there were countless battles and twists and turns, and finally they converged on the battlefield of Ji Lei Jiu Mountain.

Luo Chen knew a lot about this civil war.

Luo Tianhui's intelligence department was even specially assigned to collect various intelligence.

Whether it was true or hearsay, he never stopped knowing.

He also looked at the overall situation many times, sorted out the trends, and tried to deduce the end time of the war.

It can be said that Luo Chen thinks that his level of knowledge is far higher than that of most of the sect disciples, vassals, and casual cultivators, except for the high-level Jindan leaders of various sects and the two divine Yuanying masters who have never seen the beginning or end of the dragon.

The more he learned, the more confused Luo Chen became.

because!

This is not how war is fought!

In his understanding, if one side is strong and the other is weak, then it is a blitzkrieg and a war of annihilation.

A thunderous blow, a great achievement!

Just like Luo Tianhui targets the Fu family and the Duan family.

It’s definitely not dragging on for twenty years.

If it is a dual-power situation, there are two situations.

Either sit down and have a good talk, or it's a long tug-of-war.

The former is impossible. When it comes to the fourth-level spiritual land required for Yuanying Zhenren's cultivation, it is definitely impossible to negotiate.

Then, there is the last possibility - tug of war!

Judging from the current situation, it seems to be in line with ordinary people's cognition.

But, no!

A real tug-of-war should at least have corresponding important targets as the focus of attack.

The fourth-level mineral vein Ji Lei Jiu Shan seems to meet this requirement.

But this kind of competition for resource land can be carried out in a more "elegant" way.

Small-scale true sword fighting, a little more daring Master Fighting.

If it doesn't work, the two Nascent Soul Masters can solve the problem by simply exchanging ideas.

There is no need for such a big battle!

It can be said that Jilei Nine Mountains is completely insignificant to Daoist Yuanying!

If Luoyunzong really wanted the fourth-order spiritual land, they should focus on attacking the hinterland of Jade Cauldron Swordzong.

Even if it is to send allied forces to consume the vitality of Jianzong, it should be aimed at the hinterland of Jianzong, not an enclave thousands of miles away.

There is no point in fighting like this now!

Apart from killing Qingdan Valley, Ailao Mountain, Bingbao, Yanmeng and Jianzong's many vassals who have reached the first-class power level, it will not do anything.

Oh, the ones that consume the most here are countless casual cultivators.

And he is also an elite figure among casual cultivators.

question!

It comes from the word "except".

Looking at it now, perhaps the meaning of this long tug-of-war really lies in wiping out all the forces in the Jade Cauldron Territory except for the two great sects!

Qingdan Valley is the most powerful and has the largest number of monks, but its combat power is mediocre.

On the battlefield, facing the existence of the same level, except for Tao Wan and other arrogances, the rest of the sects are not opponents when they meet other sect disciples one-on-one.

There are too few vassals in the ice castle, and the disciples under the sect have started to go into battle shirtless after the cannon fodder is almost worn out.

The main force of Ailao Mountain was involved in the Blackwater Swamp battlefield, and now they have suffered a lot.

Even Master Jindan has lost one.

This is the side of the Four Sects Alliance.

And on the side of the Sword Sect Alliance, as far as Luo Chen knew, the first-class vassals of three Sword Sects had already been beaten to death.

Among them, there are many Tiandaomen who have gained fame in recent years. Except for the head, most of the foundations in the gate have been damaged.

On the Yanmeng side, the end was not good either.

The Blackwater Swamp delayed them for too much time, and they also lost a golden elixir master there.

Heavy troops were dispatched on the Jilei Jiu Mountain battlefield, but the vassals under their command suffered too many injuries, and now they are gradually getting to the point of going into battle themselves.

And what about the two great Nascent Soul Sects?

The Luoyun Sect monks mostly used puppets to fight their enemies.

Even if you lose, the worst thing you can do is abandon the puppet and save your life.

On the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect's side, there are even fewer true disciples sent out.

After two days of hunting with Chu Kui, they were lucky enough to kill a true successor of the Sword Sect in the late stage of foundation establishment.

It can be seen from this that the two great sects are consciously retaining their own strength.

"Today's situation is very much like another war in my experience, a war without smoke!"

While muttering, Luo Chen remembered the time when he took Luo Tianhui and moved the sect to Tianlan Immortal City.

In order to open up the elixir market.

Luo Tianhui and the Gunlongji Zheng family started a competition for the elixir business.

In that business competition, the two companies fought fiercely. The best result was a win-win situation, and both companies made a lot of money!

So who loses?

The Danyuan Sect lost, the Qinhuajiang Li family lost, the Tanshan Hu family lost...

The boss and the second child fought and the third child died.

Isn't the current situation a civil war between the two great sects, with the other people in the Jade Cauldron Territory losing the most?

Luo Chen vaguely remembered.

He was participating in the Dao Seed Competition. When he first arrived at Qingdan Valley, Tao Yisheng enthusiastically introduced to him how powerful Qingdan Valley was and how huge the number of monks was.

There are tens of thousands of Qi Refining monks, over a thousand Foundation Building monks, and fifteen Golden Pill masters!

This is just Qingdan Valley, so what about Ice Castle? What about Yanmeng? What about Ailao Mountain and Yanmeng?

Except for Baihua Palace, which has few disciples and only three golden elixirs, the number of monks from the other four sects is too many.

In addition, the Yuding Domain is close to the Million Mountains and is rich in resources.

As a result, among casual cultivators, foundation-building and true cultivators emerged one after another, and where the top ten immortal cities were located, countless third-rate and second-rate forces gathered.

Over the years, even with the first-class influence of Master Jindan, many have been born.

Can one domain support so many monks?

able!

But after supporting so many monks, they were completely unable to support the two Nascent Soul Sects!

It is even said that even if the original overlord Jade Cauldron Sword Sect wants to expand, it will feel that the resources are completely insufficient.

But if through this war, most of the forces are weakened, suppressed, and destroyed, wouldn't the space for development be broadened?

After thinking about all this, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a little numb.

"The Jade Cauldron Territory is so big that it cannot accommodate the seven major sects. However, it can accommodate two Nascent Soul Sects!"

"As long as most of the other five sects decline and the casual cultivator world exists in name only, the power of one area will be enough to support the two great sects!"

"In the final analysis, neither the Sword Sect nor the Luo Yun Sect are major sects that have been inherited for thousands of years. There is only one Yuanying in the sect. Their current needs are actually not as many as those of the sects in other large areas."

After some analysis.

Luo Chen gradually clarified everything from his perspective.

However, there are still many doubts about this.

The simplest thing is that he doesn't believe that all the other four sects are stupid.

As far as the high-level monks he has come into contact with since time travel, there are almost no fools.

The so-called advantage of the time traveler's vision is nothing at all in the long history of the mountains and seas that lasts for tens of thousands of years.

Within the four sects, there must be someone smarter than him!

The intelligence information held by the Four Sects is definitely far more comprehensive than what Luo Tianhui has collected!

Can't they see through this?

Or is it that you have seen through it all, but for some reason you are still forced to take this path?

Benefit? Hatred?

Or, just like Luo Tianhui was initially coerced by the ruthless fairy, they too were forced to participate in the war under the power of the real Yuanying?

This is one of the doubts.

There is another thing that puzzles Luo Chen.

That is, even after weakening or even destroying the strength of each sect according to the assumptions of the two great sects, there is still only one fourth-level spiritual land in the Jade Cauldron Territory!

Jade Emperor Mountain!

He didn't believe that Master Yuding was willing to share the fourth-level spiritual land with Ancestor Han Zhan.

So when the two real people met, what conditions were reached to allow...

"wrong!"

Luo Chen's heart skipped a beat, and a mountain gate with endless green mountains and abundant spiritual energy gradually appeared in his mind.

"The Jade Cauldron Domain has more than just a fourth-level spiritual land, there is also a potential fourth-level spiritual land!"

"Qingdan Valley!"

In his sight, he seemed to see the five peaks covering the valley, the natural geographical pattern of condensation.

Tao Yisheng's proud words of hope seemed to ring in his ears.

"Four hundred years ago, when the war started, I, senior Qingdan Valley, conquered this place."

"Using secret methods to connect the mountains and rivers, move mountains and fill the sea, and create a pattern of five peaks and valleys."

"Now that several hundred years have passed, the Alchemy Valley has reached the second-level high-grade level. Given time, thousands of years later, this Alchemy Valley will definitely be able to achieve the fourth-level spiritual land!"

"At that time, if the real Yuanying is born in our Qingdan Valley, there will be no need to find another fourth-level spiritual place to practice."

With the power of the Jindan monks in Qingdan Valley, it will take thousands of years.

But what if we use the methods of Master Yuanying?

millennium?

Luo Chen slowly exhaled a breath, forcing himself to wake up from his endless thoughts.

These things are too far and too high for him to reach now.

What he can do is seize this opportunity, gain as many merit points as possible, and take a solid step towards achieving the Golden Core Stage.

"No matter what the two great sects plan, if I reach the golden elixir stage, with my alchemy skills, I can definitely become a guest of one of the two sects!"

While muttering, Luo Chen took out the middle grade spiritual stone again.

Close your eyes and absorb the pure spiritual energy.

…

This rest lasted for a full day and night.

When Luo Chen stepped out of the simple cave, what he saw when he raised his head was streaks of escaping light rushing towards the front line of the war.

Among them, there were many people who looked down at where they were, with expressions of envy, disdain, or ridicule...

"How far is the war going?"

Xu Huanzhen and Duan Feng have already gathered around.

The former immediately replied, "The Sword Sect Alliance refused to give in and gathered a large number of monks to station at the Eighth Mountain. It seems they are going to fight us to the death."

The latter is full of confidence, "The new puppet of the Luoyun Sect is extremely powerful. A few rounds of volleys can destroy a position. Now the three sects, under the leadership of the Luoyun Sect, are constantly reinforcing the Eighth Mountain. I I feel like we can capture it in less than three days!”

"Three days? I can't see." Chu Kui came from behind, filling his mouth with wine from a gourd.

The rich spiritual energy can be clearly felt even from a few steps away.

This was his preparation for this war, and it was also a spiritual wine from Taibaifang City that could quickly restore spiritual power.

Walking to his side, he said energetically: "If Master Jindan takes action himself, it will be easy to break the formation! Next, it is time for me and other foundation-building monks to show off their skills."

When he said this, Xu and Duan couldn't help but nodded secretly.

They have all seen Master Jindan take action.

In the special geographical environment of Ji Lei Jiu Mountain, ordinary third-level defense formations, even if they are fully powerful, cannot stop the full bombardment of several Jindan masters.

Just as the three of them were talking enthusiastically.

Gradually, they discovered that Luo Chen had never been involved.

Chu Kui looked at Luo Chen in confusion, "What are you thinking about?"

Luo Chen looked calm.

"Nothing, just thinking, it's time for us to set off. How is your recovery?"

Chu Kui patted his chest, "It's not a big problem, what about you?"

"Then let's go!"

When the two of them set off, Xu Huanzhen and Duan Feng hesitated to speak.

At best, they could only silently watch the two leave.

While rushing to the battlefield on the Eighth Mountain, Chu Kui said regretfully: "It would be great if Min Longyu was here."

Luo Chen hummed.

With the strength of the two of them, with advance planning, they can indeed avoid the top experts and calmly hunt down ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

But if you encounter someone with an eighth or ninth level of foundation building, or someone with a slightly larger scale, you still have to stay away.

It's not that I'm invincible, I just don't want to waste too much time.

But if there is an array master like Min Longyu, with the three of them joining forces, no one would dare to touch it.

"How much merit do we have now?" Chu Kui asked.

"Six thousand one." Luo Chen replied.

Hearing this number, Chu Kui cheered up again.

A distance of 10,000 is not far away!

If you are lucky these days and catch a few lonely late-stage foundation-building monks, you might be able to save enough soon.

Compared to his optimism, Luo Chen was not so optimistic.

The two of them relied on each other, and although their cooperation became more and more tacit, it was a fact that each other's status continued to decline.

On the first day, he dared to break the camp and destroy the entire family, intercepting and killing the nine major foundations.

On the second day, he could only wander around the thousands of miles of yellow sand, hunting the relatively weak ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

As of today, both sides are in less than 80% of their peak form.

You have to be more careful when choosing your opponents later.

When they reach the front line.

The battle between the two sides has completely started.

Just like last time, it was Master Jindan who personally took action to break the formation.

The only difference from before is that the original seven golden elixirs became the top ten golden elixirs!

On the eighth mountain, there were also six or seven golden elixir masters who took action to resist.

Among them are many swords with majestic energy, one against three!

That was a sword cultivator at the Golden Core stage, and he must have come from the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect!

However, the sword cultivators were strong in offense and weak in defense. After many interceptions, the defensive formation of the Eighth Mountain was still broken.

Even on the Luoyun Sect's side, someone deliberately caused a thunderstorm, completely destroying the foundation of the formation, and ending the Jian Sect's idea of ​​repairing the defensive formation in the future.

After the formation is destroyed, the remaining process is the same as before.

The puppet army of the Luoyun Sect mobilized collectively.

Prepare to clear the ground with artillery fire!

It is conceivable that after several rounds of artillery fire, the defensive formation of the Eighth Mountain will inevitably be disrupted, and then it will be the same situation as before.

However!

When the Luoyun Sect's puppet army emerged, "stars" suddenly rose up on the Eighth Mountain.

To be precise, that is not a star!

But sword pills!

When hundreds of sword pills merged together, a specious formation was outlined in the void.

The moment he saw the formation diagram, the face of Elder Linghu from Luoyun Sect changed greatly.

"The Picture of Ten Thousand Swords!"

When he was frightened, he shot out a palm suddenly, trying to prevent the sword formation from taking shape.

However, before the palm print came, there was a sword light rising into the sky.

laugh!

The huge palm print disintegrated instantly.

A clear and handsome young Taoist flew out from the Eighth Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Linghu, let them fight among the juniors. If you take action, it will be unsightly."

Seeing this person, Linghu Jie's face darkened.

"Kaiyang!"

Master Kaiyang smiled slightly and said, "Now, should you and I have a fight, or should we just wait and see what happens?"

Linghu Jie fell silent.

While the two were talking, the attacks from both sides were already taking shape.

The Luoyun Sect's puppet army released fierce artillery fire and bombarded the crowd gathering place on the Eighth Mountain indiscriminately.

At the same time, the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram constructed by the Sword Sect also erupted with fierce light, emitting thousands of sword energy and falling like rain.

The armies of the four sect alliances that were supposed to take advantage of the situation suffered heavy losses in an instant.

By this time, both sides were riding a tiger with difficulty.

But unexpectedly, thunderclouds gathered in the nine heavens, and the wind howled fiercely.

Boundless silver snakes flicker.

Seeing this scene, Linghu Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

With the thunder from the sky gathering, the Ten Thousand Swords Map will inevitably not last long.

Sure enough, after a moment, the many sword pills flew back.

Under the bombardment of thunder from the sky, sword pills and other soul-sacrificial objects cannot withstand any damage.

In this way, both sides are back on the same starting line.

"kill!"

"Everyone, kill!"

Following the orders from the two golden elixir masters, the two torrents of monks collided with each other.

corner.

Luo Chen and Chu Kui raised their heads and looked at the slowly dispersing sword formation with awe.

Hundreds of people form a formation, killing without equal.

Even Master Jindan had to stay away.

Fortunately, the right time and place were on their side.

Seeing the battle that broke out instantly, Chu Kui's heart trembled.

"Fortunately, I joined the Luo Tianhui and can move freely with you. Otherwise, in a battle of this scale, the so-called Tian Kuizi's name would be just a joke."

Luo Chen forced out a smile with a stiff face.

The Shang Sect’s background was beyond their imagination.

I originally thought that the puppet army was invincible.

Unexpectedly, there is also the method of forming a sword formation.

However, in the special geographical environment of Ji Lei Jiu Mountain, the Ten Thousand Swords Map could not be maintained for too long, and now it has returned to the battle scene they are most familiar with.

After the initial battle, the monk flood began to divide the battle group.

After a while, there were tens of thousands of scattered small battle groups.

In this way, it became the favorite situation for the Tianlan duo to fish in troubled waters.

"At the beginning of the battle, the spiritual energy fluctuations were too violent and I was unable to condense the water mirror technique."

Chu Kui was also very aware of the current environment, "So, follow the original plan?"

"Well, go to the edge of the battlefield and wait for the opportunity!"

After reaching an agreement, the two gathered their bodies and flew quietly to the outskirts of the Eighth Mountain.

According to their experience, the battle group continues to divide and the battlefield scope continues to expand.

In relatively peripheral areas, if you wait and wait, prey will inevitably enter the net.

…

Three hours later.

"What number is this?" Luo Chen asked in a low voice.

Chu Kui looked solemn and raised three fingers.

"The third one is in the early stage of foundation building. He seems to be an inner disciple of the Flame Alliance."

Luo Chen frowned, "Their clique is becoming more and more serious, and our chances seem to be getting less and less."

It’s not just Jianzong’s side that is holding a group.

The same is true for the Four Sects Alliance.

Chu Kui was helpless, "There is no way. In order to obtain merit points, many people are taking risks and doing the same things as us. Whether it is the Sword Sect or the Four Sects. As far as I know, the Netherworld Ersha and Lian All the four elders in Cang are doing this."

The Two Evils of Netherworld and the Four Elders of Liancang are all leaders in the casual cultivators just like Chu Kui.

They are very famous among the three-acre land in the fairy city where they have lived for a long time.

During the Qingdan Valley Dao Seed dispute, Luo Chen had met the two evil spirits of Netherworld, a man and a woman.

They were invited by Shangguan Yan, and even if they played alone, they still achieved a good result for Shangguan Yan in third place in the first round.

You know, even the second place He Yuanqing, who sent Chu Kui and the masters of the clan, was only worthy of second place.

As for the four elders of Liancang, they were big shots a hundred years ago.

The four brothers joined forces and became extremely powerful a hundred years ago.

Now the four of them have all advanced to the late stage of foundation building, and together they are even rumored to be able to compete with Master Jindan.

These beings, like Luo Chen and others, do this kind of hunting, and their efficiency is definitely not low.

"What about us now?" Chu Kui asked hesitantly.

Without the guidance of Luo Chen's Water Mirror Technique, their range of activities was confused.

"Change somewhere!"

"Um."

A familiar scene appeared again. The two of them left the battlefield slightly and looked for a new ambush location along the edge.

When passing by a canyon, Luo Chen froze.

Chu Kui looked down at the battle scene below, "Do you want to bite this hard bone?"

It is indeed a tough one. There are more than ten foundation-building cultivators involved below.

According to their plan, it was best not to get involved in a battle of this scale.

However, this time, Luo Chen sacrificed the magic weapon without hesitation.

"Do it, that kid is down there, I can't just die without saving him."

"Huh?" Chu Kui was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on an embarrassed young man, and he suddenly understood.

"Forget it, that kid's mother is a high-ranking member of the Luo Tianhui. Now I am considered a member of the Luo Tianhui, so I can help him."

While muttering in a low voice, the Qitian Stick fell into his hand.

Within the canyon.

A big melee is going on.

Judging from the badge on his clothes, he is clearly a vassal of the Yan League and a disciple of the Luoyun Sect.

"Killing this group of Yun Sect disciples is a great achievement!"

"Don't hold back!"

"kill!"

Among the crowd, there was an old man with gray beard and gray hair, his eyes were violent and he was giving orders.

The spirit secret in his hand was constantly pinching, and under his control, a flying sword flew back and forth among the crowd, and from time to time, wailing sounds could be heard.

He is in the late stage of foundation building!

Although he has only been promoted recently, he is still considered a master among the vassal forces.

Coupled with the close relationship with Yanmeng, these people will obey his orders.

And on the opposite side.

The young inner disciples of the Luo Yun Sect all looked in horror.

The senior brother who led the team was killed in a sneak attack.

The puppetry technique they are good at is not easy to use in a narrow environment such as the canyon.

With his hands tied, he was suppressed and beaten by a group of vassal forces who were not the elite of the sect.

Someone is under pressure, crazy!

"Let's all die together!"

The disciple on the third level of foundation building desperately urged the puppet.

A beam of bright light shot out.

Seeing this, the enemy fled away one after another.

But in the melee, there are still people who can't escape.

An enemy in the middle stage of foundation building was brushed aside and most of his body was evaporated.

Seeing this scene, the disciple was overjoyed.

But behind him, there was a shrill sound.

"Senior Brother Li, why did you kill Brother Wu?"

Senior Brother Li was stunned for a moment as he watched a puppet falling to the ground without any control. His master was in the center of the beam of light.

Did I accidentally kill a fellow disciple?

Just when he was stunned, a flying sword passed through his chest like lightning.

"You can't tell the difference between the enemy and yourself, and your combat experience is weak. During the battle, you even dare to lose your mind. Is this kind of mentality worthy of building a foundation?"

Zheng Tianfang, who had gray beard and hair, sneered.

Regardless of that person, his eyes fell on the three remaining Luoyun Sect disciples.

Facing this cruel look, Qin Yuanjiang, one of the three, trembled all over.

The brothers are all dead!

Among the three people left here, he was the one who had just established the foundation, but he actually became the leader.

"Senior Brother Qin, what should we do?"

"Our puppets are all damaged and are dying now."

Listening to the flustered words of the two juniors, Qin Yuanjiang forced herself to calm down.

"What are you afraid of? Take out your magic weapon and fight against the enemy!"

"We Luoyun Sect disciples have no tradition of waiting to die."

"The flying sword technique that the elders let you learn can also kill the enemy!"

While speaking, he suddenly took out a golden long sword.

The sword's edge was cold, as if it had never been sharpened.

Face this scene.

Zheng Tianfang smirked, "It's all about resisting in the corner, just obediently wait for death!"

The rest of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators couldn't help laughing when they saw that the overall situation was settled.

Just when they were about to end the battle in one fell swoop, Zheng Tianfang's face suddenly changed drastically.

He looked up sharply.

A red-robed Taoist is high in the sky, holding his hands empty, as if he is pulling something.

next moment!

He growled.

"Landslide!"

boom! boom!

Two loud noises were heard, and the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon collapsed.

The huge mountain wall exploded, and the aura surged for a while, and the rocks pierced through the air.

The saved manuscripts are completely exhausted. This chapter is published while writing. There are many typos and omissions in it, and it is being revised in real time.

If you see any mistakes, please forgive me.
