Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Zhang Family Courtyard.

Luo Chen's return was sensed by Tianxuan early without deliberately concealing it.

Looking at the two female cultivators who came out to greet them, Zhang Jiadi was not seen.

He asked specifically.

The answer I got was that I accepted a mission to escort supplies and went to the front line.

"I remember that you just completed one mission not long ago, why did you take on a new one? The mission intervals of star demon hunters don't seem to be so fast!"

Zhang Jiadi and the others are just foundation-building monks, and their understanding of the Ten Thousand Immortals Society is limited by their realm.

But Luo Chen learned more from Xiao Buhuan, the golden elixir monk, on Quyang Island this time.

In the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, most of the mission intervals for Qi Refining and Foundation Building monks are half a year. As for the golden elixir monks, their growth rate is much longer, usually about once every three to five years.

In wartime situations, this frequency will be higher.

Or, for demon hunters who are interested in improving their star rating, they will take the initiative to take on some tasks to quickly increase their star rating.

Obviously, this is not war time, and Zhang Jiadi doesn't seem to be that keen on star upgrades.

Wenxiu sighed, rubbed her belly and said, "Lao Zhang is thinking about his children."

Luo Chen understood instantly.

Zhang Jiadi wanted to complete all the tasks for the next few years in one go, so that he could free up time to take care of Wenxiu's mother and son.

He is a man who values ​​love and justice.

Luo Chen nodded, waved to Tianxuan, and went back to the room.

After he entered, Tianxuan followed him into the house.

Luo Chenshi sat down and asked, "How are things going?"

Tianxuan cheered up and said, "It's all done. I didn't take a merchant ship to come and go. I flew at full speed, so I saved most of the time and ran back and forth. In recent days, rumors about Cold Light Island have begun to spread in the outer areas of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. I believe that the inside rumors will reach Longyuan City soon."

"Thanks a lot."

Luo Chen approved.

Later, while he was free, he checked Tianxuan's condition.

In terms of realm, it is much weaker than at its peak, but it has just entered the golden elixir level.

However, the basics are much more solid.

From this point of view, the injuries sustained during the last war were indeed a blessing in disguise.

Next, you only need to heal your hidden injuries. Not only will you be able to quickly recover, but your subsequent practice will also be even more powerful.

Luo Chen took back his consciousness with satisfaction.

"I probably won't be running around like before in the days to come."

"Tomorrow, I'm going to the Fulong Mountains to get some information. You can come with me."

Tianxuan blinked, as if she thought of something.

By acting like this, the master has obviously passed the assessment mission and obtained the status of a star-level demon hunter, so he will consider settling in the Fulong Mountains.

I will finally have a place to stay.

…

Early the next morning.

Luo Chen took Tianxuan out of the house in a hurry.

Coming out of the west gate of Longyuan Immortal City, two escaping lights flew slowly and slowly.

In the distance, the mountains are towering.

Underfoot, there is a vast swamp.

If the Fulong Mountain Range is named after the wild beast Stone Dragon, then the name of Longyuan Immortal City is related to the vast swamp stretching for thousands of miles below.

Facing the sea and backed by Longyuan Daze, it is named Longyuan.

Luo Chen's consciousness gently swept over some buildings in Daze, showing a thoughtful look.

Above, there live some people of low status, most of them are Qi refining and foundation building, and there are few golden elixir monks.

These people are serious casual cultivators!

He is the kind of casual cultivator who joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Association but did not pass the qualification as a demon hunter.

Because he was afraid of the harsh tasks of a star-level demon hunter and was unable to afford the rental fees for the huge caves in the Fulong Mountains, he chose the aura-poor Longyuan Daze as a place to practice.

These people are the main components of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association!

Their specific number cannot be estimated, but is at least tens of thousands, and is even increasing as the war between good and evil is in full swing.

"If the base number is large enough, the number of star-level demon hunters can gradually increase, and high-level monks can harvest more leeks."

Luo Chen murmured, and then without stopping at all, he led Tianxuan into the towering mountains.

…

On a hilltop.

Tianxuan stood aside, and Luo Chen sat cross-legged next to her, overlooking the mountains and ravines with eyes like lightning.

After a while, Luo Chen slowly withdrew his gaze and stood up.

"Change another place!"

Tianxuan was confused, "Can't it work here? I see that the empty cave is full of spiritual energy."

"Under the clusters of flowers, there are just rotten branches and leaves. The so-called spiritual energy is full of energy, but it is actually a castle in the air. I can't help but wait for two years to practice. It is not my first choice!"

Luo Chen explained lightly, and then flew towards another mountain top.

Tianxuan touched Luo Chen's words, seeming to understand.

Why can't I see these ways myself?

Little did she know that the methods of finding a dragon's acupoints and severing its spirit to cut off its veins were really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Luo Chen also had many years of practice in formation formation and a pair of eyes that could keenly sense vitality, so he could do this.

It can even be said that the God-Searching Compass he is holding in his hand and the third-order God-Searching Spirit Array that is always on are also a big help.

It was by relying on these methods that Luo Chen had the confidence to verify the third-level caves that Xiao Buhuan told him one by one.

But it's a pity.

After spending most of the day and groping carefully, I gained very little.

In other words, Xiao Buhuan, a five-star demon hunter, is not at a high level and has only been exposed to third-level low-level or even mid-level caves.

For him, it might be great.

But for Luo Chen, it didn't quite meet his needs.

In the next two days, Luo Chen visited several places that seemed to be good places to hide the wind and gather energy, and the Feng Shui trend was excellent, but in the end he was still disappointed.

Standing on a green mountain peak, Luo Chen ignored the casual cultivators looking at him with curious eyes from other directions and put away the God Compass.

"Let's go back!"

Tianxuan was puzzled, "Can't even do it? I just used the method you taught me, master, to detect it. The spiritual veins under this mountain peak are quite solid, at least at the third-level mid-level level."

Luo Chen shook his head.

Third level mid-level is still not his goal.

However, this trip was not in vain.

At least, he confirmed what Xiao Buhuan said!

The spiritual veins in the Fulong Mountains have indeed suffered man-made damage.

As a result, although there are several fourth-level spiritual veins, they are each respected and integrated.

Even the low-level spiritual veins under his command are different from what they appear to be, making it extremely difficult to judge the true level.

"It seems that the really good things are still controlled by the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. If I want a third-level high-grade spiritual vein, I have to start with Diaosou."

"Diaosou..."

Luo Chen muttered this name and left the Fulong Mountains leisurely under the gazes of the casual cultivators.

After he leaves.

The casual cultivators started discussing in low voices.

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Association, another golden elixir monk has arrived."

"There is actually a maid in the Golden Core stage accompanying him. I think he must have been very beautiful before he became a casual cultivator."

"So what about the scenery in the past? You can see that he stayed in the Fulong Mountains for many days, but he has not made up his mind to settle there. It can be seen that he is also a man who is short of money."

"Who isn't? The lease term here is coming soon, and the spirit stone is about to bottom out. But I can't afford the rent for the next year. I'm afraid I have to take on another mission."

"What kind of mission are you taking? Why not go to the first line of defense? It's faster to hunt monsters."

"Let's talk about this later, fellow Taoist, I've been listening to you scolding your cave before. The spiritual energy is intermittent, which affects your practice. Don't you plan to change to a better cave?"

"It's not so easy to change. The better caves have long been occupied by others."

"Hey, why don't you just grab one when it expires here? Anyway, the rent will be paid, so Wan Xianhui won't cause trouble for you."

"Isn't this... a little bad?"

"Haha, are you excited?"

The discussion among the casual cultivators gradually shifted from focusing on Luo Chen, an unknown Golden Elixir cultivator, to other topics.

But no one felt anything was wrong, and they had fun chatting.

However, when it comes to the quality of the spiritual veins of their own caves, most of them are secretive and say that it is worse than the worst.

This is because I’m afraid of being noticed!

…

In the Monster Hunting Division.

The three monks sat cross-legged and stared at the scene in mid-air.

While maintaining the mirage bead to review the battle scene, Diaosou introduced: "The identity of this monk in white has been found out, and he is indeed a remnant of the Yuan Mo Sect. His real name is Yan Zhixian, and he is not Qin Tianming at all."

"However, Yan Zhixian himself does have some talent. Before the incident in Yuan Mo Sect, he was still thinking about participating in the next True Inheritance Competition."

"In order to truly teach the fighting skills, he went out to hunt for treasures, so he escaped the catastrophe."

At this point, he paused.

"This person is not important. Except for the resources related to the Demon Sect's training books, all his inheritance can be exchanged for demon hunters."

"Now, you should rate the two new star-level demon hunters!"

There were two people next to them, a man and a woman. The man was young and had a big head, like a big-headed boy. The woman has a graceful figure. Even though she looks older, she still has charm. Especially her slim figure wrapped in purple clothes, she is full of charm as a young woman.

The big-headed boy said lazily: "This one is called Duan Li. He has a solid realm, but his strength is sparse and his combat experience is not very good. He didn't take much credit for this mission. In my opinion, let him fail!"

The young woman in purple shook her head, "Although there are many monks in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association now, 90% of them are just a mob, which is exactly when they are short of manpower. You also said that Duanli Realm is solid and has great potential. The so-called combat experience will be more in the future. After several battles, you can hone it. My suggestion is, assuming he has passed the assessment, the star rating should be lower."

Finally, the young woman in purple looked at Diaosou.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you mean?"

Diaosou stroked his beard and said, "I think the same as you, just give him a three-star rating as a monster hunter!"

Two against one, the minority obeys the majority.

The big-headed boy curled his lips and didn't argue.

Next, it came to Luo Chen.

It is certain that the other party has obtained the qualification of a four-star demon hunter, so there is no need to talk more.

What they discussed was Luo Chen's methods revealed in this battle.

"This Qingyangzi's magic skills are exquisite, and the magic of the big hand seal is quite impressive even from the perspective of my ninth-level golden elixir. In particular, his domineering magic power is closely related to the soul-refining lineage of the Yuan Mo Sect. The magic power gained through cultivation is not inferior, or even worse. Among casual cultivators, people with such foundation are really rare." The young woman in purple praised repeatedly.

Diaosou also nodded with emotion. He personally watched the battle.

He also highly praised the several fire spells that Luo Chen cast, especially his overbearing magic power, which could not even be blocked by the Ten Directions Shadowless Array for a moment.

At least, when I was in the middle stage of Golden Core, my magic power could not reach this level.

The young woman in purple clothes continued to look at the image, but her brows furrowed just as she looked at it.

"This person is a little hidden! The giant hammer magic weapon is unfamiliar to control, and it is clearly not his natal magic weapon. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner does not seem to be something that he can cultivate both life and life. But this chain..."

Diaosou took over and said, "It's not a real thing, it's just a derivation of magic power. But when I look closely, it doesn't seem to be caused by magic. It may be a derivation of his natal magic weapon."

Is it just a means derived from the natal magic weapon, does it have such power?

The ghost that breaks the resentful soul is like a piece of paper. It can't even launch the flying sword to resist the sneak attack. It even fuses with the ghost at the last moment. It is comparable to the strange ghost king in the late stage of Jindan. It is locked and unable to move.

The young woman in purple clothes blinked, becoming more and more curious about what this natal magic weapon named Qingyangzi was.

She turned her head and said, "Bigan, why don't you speak?"

The big-headed boy frowned, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, when he heard his companion asking, he said hesitantly: "Qingyangzi... I seem to have heard this name somewhere before?"

Diaosou smiled and said, "With such a capable being, even if he is a casual cultivator, he is definitely not an unknown person. Maybe you have actually heard of his deeds on a certain day, month and year."

"It wasn't that long ago!" the big-headed boy said flatly.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly spoke out.

"I think about it. No wonder I feel that this person is familiar. A few days ago, I got together with people in Shenyuan City and listened to them talking about the Nascent Soul War on Lengguang Island. In one of the battles between Jindan monks, there was a A casual cultivator named Qingyang Demon Lord participated."

"Demon Lord Qingyang?"

"Who is this again?"

Diaosou and the young woman in purple both made a sound of surprise.

Immediately, the big-headed boy shared the rumors he had heard with the two.

After learning the details, especially the fact that the Qingyang Demon Lord used his signature method, the Qingyang Big Hand Seal, to kill several people of the same level, they were amazed again and again.

"It seems that this Qingyangzi and the Qingyang Demon Lord may really be the same person."

"However, even if they are the same person, they have little to do with us. Let's end this review. The follow-up matters... since they are supervised by you, Diaosou, they will be handled by you."

There's nothing wrong with fishing for old men, it's just trivial matters anyway.

Nowadays, there are only three eight-star demon hunters in the Demon Hunting Department, and they usually take turns to deal with trivial matters.

Now that it's his turn, he can't refuse.

…

Three days are coming in a blink of an eye.

This morning, Luo Chen arrived at the gate of the Demon Hunting Department early.

Unexpectedly, Duanli arrived earlier than him.

Seeing the shrinking look of the other person wrapped in his coat, Luo Chen frowned, but didn't say much.

After a brief greeting, we went straight inside.

Duan Li followed behind, looking at Luo Chen's back, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"During that battle, Qingyangzi was not affected by the white-clothed monk's methods at all. Even the spirit of the strange ghost king was as frightening as the breeze blowing on his face."

"I guess he also has considerable attainments in soul refining."

"I just don't know if it can solve the legacy of poison in my body."

"But if I ask the other party to help heal my wounds, I will have no reservations. People are deeply separated from each other, and I have a big hatred, so I can't gamble!"

Duanli was filled with thoughts and hesitation.

When he woke up, he saw Diaosou chatting nicely with Luo Chen.

"This is an identity badge with golden stars on it. We, the demon hunters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Society, are divided into nine stars. One to three stars are white, four to six are gold, and seven to nine are purple. Different colors represent different treatments."

"In addition to the discounts you know about from the outside world, you can also rely on different star levels to enjoy the intelligence resources of the Monster Hunting Department."

"If you are interested, you can learn more about it later."

The Ten Thousand Immortals Association has many casual cultivators, which naturally means a wide range of sources of information.

This is an unexpected surprise.

Luo Chen received his identity badge and looked down. He saw a sea of ​​blood, a bright moon in the sky, and four golden stars surrounding it.

Duanli felt a little lonely.

There are only three white stars on his identity badge.

You know, many foundation-building monks can reach this star level.

Diaosou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. This is only temporary. If you want to improve your star rating, just take on more missions."

Duan Li smiled bitterly. His injuries hadn't been resolved yet, so he couldn't think about those things.

The old man waved his sleeves regardless of what he was thinking.

"Let's go!"

"It's rare that I'm free today, so I'll personally take you to the Fulong Mountains to choose a suitable cave."

Having said this, he looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

"The spirit stone should be ready!"

Luo Chen said calmly: "Master Diaosou, even if you are just leading the way, I can still bring out some spiritual stones."

This time, Duanli didn't show any timidity and followed the two of them.

…

Over the Fulong Mountains.

Three rays of escaping light follow each other like shadows, coming and going vertically and horizontally.

Diaosou held a map with flickering spiritual light in his hand. He led them to check out the cave and introduced relevant information.

But it was obvious that the information he introduced was hidden.

If you want to choose a suitable cave, you have to look at your own abilities.

"This high mountain is called Xiushan. It has extremely rich spiritual energy. Even among the third-level lower-grade caves, it is the best. Many Jindan monks have stayed there. You may consider it."

After listening to the introduction, Duan Li was quite moved.

He wanted it, but Luo Chen was ahead and planned to wait until the other party made the choice.

Luo Chen shook his head, "Fellow Taoist, just do what you want, don't wait for me."

After a pause, he suddenly said: "However, if this place was really that good, I think it wouldn't have changed so many owners."

Duanli was stunned.

It seems like this is the truth?

Diaosou frowned, Qingyangzi was quite a man, and he immediately saw the loopholes in his words.

"Since none of you want it, then change to another place! But I have something to say first. Although there are many ownerless caves left in the Fulong Mountains, most of them are first and second level, and there are not many third level caves."

"After passing through this village, there is no such shop."

Luo Chen twitched the corners of his mouth and said nothing more.

But he was laughing in his heart.

It stands to reason that this Diaosou also works for the three major individual people, so why is he so concerned about gains and losses?

Let them, these casual cultivators, take advantage and suffer less losses, so what!

It’s really hard to work part-time and put yourself into it.

While shaking his head secretly in his heart, Luo Chen's consciousness continued to spread out, sweeping away the bright spots on the map in Diaosou's hand one by one.

There should be a cave or two suitable for him in this place.
