Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Pengdao is quite large and has mountains on it.

Generally, when cultivators choose spiritual places, they give priority to mountainside peaks. This is because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has clear and turbid forms, and a large number of them gather together to form spiritual veins.

At this time, the turbid air sinks and the clean air floats up.

Although both can be absorbed and used, immortal cultivators definitely want the pure spirit energy more, so caves are often located on higher ground.

Luo Chen was different. He relied on the power of the formation to confine the high-quality spiritual energy circle in the Star Dou Hall, which also left the high mountain on Pengdao idle.

To say idle does not mean completely idle.

Occasionally Tianxuan would go up there and transform into a fighting gull and fly around for a period of time, so he built a lake-viewing pavilion on it.

At this moment, inside Guanhu Pavilion.

Three Taoists, taking advantage of the breeze, drank tea and discussed Taoism.

Looking from a distance, it does look a bit like the fairy tales in secular rumors.

However, Xiao Buhuan, one of them, is still in shock and has not recovered.

Looking at the vast and boundless swamp, fish are playing, birds are circling, and countless large and small islands are dotted like stars.

Such a resort was actually rented out by this fellow Taoist in front of me!

Before coming, he only thought that the Wanxian Society had relaxed its restrictions and allowed Pengdao Lingdi to be rented out. He never expected that Qingyangzi had such financial resources and rented it all in one go.

Just when he was in a trance, Qingyangzi's gentle voice came to his ears.

"Fellow Taoist? Fellow Taoist?"

Xiao Buhuan shook his head and came to his senses, "What's wrong?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said, "Nothing, I just want to understand the duties of guarding Quyang's defense line."

"Didn't you stay there for half a month?" Xiao Buhuan was confused.

Luo Chen replied: "What I want to know is not the customs, the war situation, but the specific details of the guard mission. For example, personnel arrangements, daily work, etc."

"oh."

Xiao Buhuan suddenly realized.

Afterwards, Luo Chen's treasures came one by one.

This matter is actually not complicated.

After all, he is Master Jindan!

Sitting in one place, you can't do everything yourself.

Quyang Island, as the centerpiece of Quyang's defense line, has thousands of monks stationed on it all year round.

Basically 80% of the monks here are casual cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, and they change their defenses every year.

Several troops were divided, all led by great monks in the late stage of foundation building.

Formation team, patrol team, law enforcement team, logistics team, etc.

These troops are the main force in handling all kinds of trivial matters.

What you need to do to guard the golden elixir is actually to ensure combat power. With the golden elixir stage cultivation, you can ensure that in the event of an emergency, you can withstand the first wave of impact and wait for reinforcements from the rear.

There will be a total of three Jindan monks performing guard duties on Quyang's defense line.

The mission time limits of these three are also very different. For example, Xiao Buhuan was previously on a long-term guard mission, while the other two were on short-term missions that rotated once a year.

The reason why I didn't see the other two people when I went to Quyang Island last time was because they happened to be transferred to the first line of defense, which was the Liuyang line of defense.

"Isn't it a mission in Quyang Sea? How come you were transferred to Liuyang Sea?"

Luo Chen was confused, the mission location would also change?

Xiao Buhuan said helplessly: "The rules in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association have not yet been fully formed, so sometimes the tasks are very flexible. Especially for short-term tasks such as rotational guarding, the Golden Core cultivator is just a brick, which can be moved wherever it is needed."

At this point, he paused.

"Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that those two fellow Taoists are just four-star demon hunters who want to hunt monsters on the front lines and increase their star level."

I see.

Luo Chen nodded secretly and wrote down all these details.

Xiao Buhuan suddenly reacted, "Qingyangzi, why do you ask this?"

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Get ready for the next mission!"

Xiao Buhuan and Duanli were startled at first, and then they realized that the other party had taken over the task of guarding the defense line for a short period of time!

Next, the three of them chatted for a while, and Xiao Buhuan left in advance, got up and left.

He had just come back and had not rested yet, so he was mentally tired.

Especially at Xiushan Cave Mansion, there were still some things waiting for him to deal with.

Sanxiuhua spends a lot of money to rent the Lingmai Cave, not just for practice.

The abundant aura environment can be used for many things. For example, Luo Chen let the Zhang Jiadi family carry out aquaculture.

The same goes for Xiao Buhuan, who hired some casual cultivators and planted a large number of spiritual plants on Yuxiu Mountain while he was out on missions. Even though he had learned about the corresponding profits over the years through letters, he still had to take stock of the real situation after he returned home.

After Xiao Buhuan left, the atmosphere in Guanhu Pavilion became gloomy.

Luo Chen didn't say anything, just drank the spiritual tea.

Duan Li looked at the heat wafting out of the cup on the stone table, looking a little hesitant.

After a long while, he finally spoke with difficulty:

"Fellow Taoist, can you do me a favor?"

Luo Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as expected!

Duanli was asking for help, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the risk and acted righteously.

However, I have a good impression of this person, and I won't be stingy if I can help him.

"But it doesn't matter. As long as it's something I can do my best, I will do my best to help."

Duan Li's expression relaxed slightly, and then he said solemnly: "In the battle during the assessment mission, the remnants of the Yuan Demon were vicious and sinister, and I accidentally hit him. I thought it would be enough to nurse my injuries back, But I didn't expect that there was a secret hidden in that battle. The longer it was delayed, the wounds would linger like maggots on the tarsal bones."

"Over the years, I have collected many healing methods, and finally chose one."

"For this method to be effective, I need a strong man at the Golden Core Stage whose soul is far superior to mine to help me."

"After much thought, among the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, you are the only one who can do this, fellow Taoist, and you made me believe it."

After saying that, Duanli looked at Luo Chen expectantly.

If he remembered correctly, in that assessment mission, the opponent was not timid at all when faced with the soul attack from the remnants of the Yuan Demon.

Yesterday, he faced Huangfu Song, who was at the seventh level of the Golden Core. There was an invisible contest between the two, which outsiders could not know. However, he was very close and was also attacked by Huangfu Song's Soul-Suppressing Emperor Sound. At that time, he couldn't control himself.

But Luo Chen was not affected, and instead used strange methods to make Huangfu Song lose his temper.

It can be seen from this that the person opposite is definitely far more accomplished in the soul than himself.

If he wanted to resolve his injuries, Duan Li could only choose Luo Chen within the vast Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

After Luo Chen listened, he said without hesitation: "Tell me the method first, and I will take a look at the specific situation."

"Um."

A jade slip was handed to him.

Luo Chen looked at it carefully.

After a long while, he withdrew his consciousness.

"It's not difficult. According to the above description, if you are well prepared, it will only take half a day to solve it if everything goes well."

"Then..." Duan Li looked at Luo Chen nervously to prevent the other party from worrying. He also added: "I have already made the relevant preparations. All you need to do is move to the Zangfeng Tunnel."

Under the nervous gaze of the other party, Luo Chen thought for a while and nodded slightly.

Duan Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and thanked him.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

…

It's the day.

Luo Chen followed Duan and left the Wind Cave.

This is also the second time he has come to the other party's cave.

When I came here before, there were no arrangements. In the past five years, there were not many changes. It was obvious that Duanli was trapped by his injuries and had no intention of decorating the cave.

After arriving at an attached cave with almost no spiritual energy, Duanli raised his hand and fired several spiritual techniques.

In an instant, spiritual lights appeared on the cave floor.

The lines of formations revealed their traces under the control of the opponent.

There is a place left in the middle, with a futon placed quietly on it.

Duan Li glanced at Luo Chen, jumped onto the futon, and was surrounded by the formation.

"Qingyangzi, I will trouble you next."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and held a small white flag in his hand, "Fellow Taoist, please relax!"

The next moment, Duanli closed his eyes, raised one palm to his chest, and slapped the other on the ground.

In an instant, the formation was blazing brightly.

The white flag in Luo Chen's hand also began to tremble violently.

At the same time, Duan Li in the center of the formation, his body began to change from calm to trembling, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

Looking at this scene, Luo Chen murmured to himself.

"The Soul Seizing Formation is a method to forcibly remove the hidden dangers attached to the body."

"What a good one to fight fire with fire, what a good separation!"

One can imagine how much of a threat this kind of method would pose to the monks.

Duan Li took this dangerous move and even put the initiative in Luo Chen's hands, which shows the determination of the other party.

But this is also treating a dead horse as a living horse.

Under normal circumstances, no monk is willing to trust a friend who is not very close to him, not even Luo Chen.

Duan Li is really desperate!

Faced with the trust of others, Luo Chen rarely disappoints people.

Taking a deep breath, he released the white flag in his hand, sat cross-legged on the ground, and pinched the spirit secret.

An invisible pulling force burst out from the formation, like a rope, tied to the hands of Luo Chen and Duan Li respectively.

Luo Chen pulled hard!

Suddenly, Duan Li in the center of the formation was shaken.

On his face, a wisp of black energy appeared like an earthworm, and it was pulled out by Luo Chen in an instant.

As soon as the black energy was drawn out, it couldn't wait to return to Duan Li. However, how could Luo Chen do what it wanted?

The white flag floating in the air rolled up, and the black energy was immediately absorbed.

The first step was successful!

This thought appeared in the minds of Luo Chen and Duan Li at the same time.

Then...

Luo Chen continued to act in accordance with the law and repeated the previous operations.

It's just that from the first moment it was pulled out, it became slower and slower later on.

Even half a day later!

"ah……"

A low roar like a beast came from Duanli's mouth.

Luo Chen struggled to mobilize his magic power.

It's not that he doesn't have enough spiritual soul, but that he must strictly control the intensity, otherwise, what will be drawn out will not be the black energy, but his own soul.

At the moment when he was about to succeed, Luo Chen suddenly thought of it.

"These black energy are almost exactly the same as the soul essence recorded in the classics. It is indeed extremely vicious to attack the enemy with this method."

"If I use Dacheng's dragon-slaying technique, will it be able to achieve the effect of this soul-stirring formation?"

A thought flashed past.

The next moment, Luo Chen suddenly stood up and shouted fiercely.

"If you don't come out now, when will you wait?"

Suddenly, Duanli trembled all over.

A black energy as thick as a finger suddenly came out from his Tianling Cap.

The white flag fluttered in the sky, absorbing all the black energy. Looking at it now, it was still a white flag, but it was clearly a black flag.

The light of the formation gradually disappeared.

As if being fished out of the water, Duanli collapsed on the futon dripping with sweat.

Although his expression was distorted due to pain, the corners of his mouth were tilted, clearly expressing the extreme joy of relief.

Luo Chen grabbed Black Flag.

"Fellow Taoist, please tidy up first. I'll wait for you outside."

Duan Li blinked and acquiesced.

Now he really can't open his mouth.

A long while.

After washing up, Duanli arrived at the cave.

As soon as he entered, he saw Luo Chen sizing up the black flag.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Chen pointed at the black flag, "If I read correctly, these black energy should be the soul essence in the rumors."

All living beings have three souls and seven souls.

Formless, soundless and breathless.

Only when the realm is advanced and the soul is condensed into substance can it be revealed.

The so-called ghost generals and ghost kings appear to have solid bodies, but in fact most of them are filled with yin energy.

The monks are extremely intelligent and use secret techniques to extract the essence from the vast amounts of souls, forming the so-called soul essence.

According to rumors, this soul essence is a rare holy medicine!

Taking it in conjunction with secret techniques can greatly increase the monk's spiritual foundation.

At the same time, if someone refines the soul essence and turns it into an attack method, its power will far exceed that of ordinary soul attack techniques.

Duan Li was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"No wonder I haven't been able to remove these things after using so many methods. If it is really soul essence, even if the master has died, he still has spirituality and will continue to attack my soul."

"After being defeated by this move, Duan is not unjust."

Luo Chen became interested and asked directly, "Give me these soul essences!"

Duan Li hesitated, but thinking of the pain he had endured over the years, he finally nodded.

"Fellow Taoist has helped me a lot this time. It's just a little bit of soul essence. Just take it."

At the same time, he also said with emotion: "The maggots on the tarsal bones are gone. I feel relieved and refreshed. I haven't felt so relaxed in five years."

Although his face was still pale, it was no longer as pale as before.

A touch of rosy color shows the results.

Facing Luo Chen, Duanli bowed down.

"This time, I really trouble fellow Taoist, Duan owes you a favor!"

Luo Chen avoided the situation and said, "It's just a little effort. Why be so polite? Huangfu Song provoked me before, so why didn't you also draw your sword to help?"

Duanli straightened up and shook his head.

"Different."

It is indeed different. Human feelings are more important than others.

Duanli and Luo Chen are just the icing on the cake, but Luo Chen and Duanli are a timely help.

"In the future, if fellow Taoist has any need, Duanli is willing to do his best for you and will never break his promise!"

Seeing Duan Li's solemn expression, Luo Chen swallowed back his original polite words.

If there is a golden elixir monk to help at a critical moment, it can be considered a big help.

Duan Li is not weak.

Facing the remnants of the Yuan Mo Sect who are in the same realm, they are all capable of forcibly breaking through the black domain, which is evident!

You must know that it is the true biography of the Holy Land, not comparable to the true biography of ordinary sects.

After asking the other party to take a good rest, Luo Chen left Zangfeng Cave and returned to Penghu.

After returning.

He first summoned Zhang Jiadi and praised the enemy's performance of staying calm in times of crisis. He also asked about the breeding situation of the golden dragon carp.

Later, he met Tianxuan again and asked him some trivial matters.

Finally, after meeting Han Zhan, he took the Black King with him, piloted the flying boat, and flew towards the Quyang Sea.

The teleportation array in Longyuan Immortal City, apart from assessment tasks and wartime recruitment, usually requires a lot of spiritual stones to be used, and Luo Chen was reluctant to spend that kind of money.

Anyway, the Quyang sea area is not far from the Fulong Mountains. If you take a sea ship, it may be much slower, but if you can control a flying boat, it will be much faster.

Controlling the normal consumption of mana, the flying boat headed north.

Wherever he passed, a white streak appeared in the sky.

…

Five days later.

In the waters of Quyang, a group of monks who were patrolling stopped.

Looking at the sky, a group of spiritual light came through the sky.

When we got closer, we saw the appearance of the flying boat.

Those who dare to fly across the North Sea in a flying boat are either taking a short trip to a safe area, or they are conceited of their ability.

Obviously, this Quyang sea area, where monsters have been fighting monsters all year round, is definitely not a safe area.

The only possibility is the latter one.

The patrol leader took the initiative to greet him.

"Senior, this place is the second line of defense of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. Please inform us of your origins and intentions."

On the flying boat, the red-robed Taoist threw something casually.

"The four-star demon hunter Qingyangzi is here to perform guard duty."

The patrol captain was stunned, looked at the identity token in his hand, and understood everything instantly.

A humble, flattering smile appeared on his face.

"Senior, please come here. Another master has arrived a few days ago. You are the second one. I want to introduce you to him."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows. He would naturally know which one arrived first.

It was the demon hunter who succeeded Xiao Buhuan, and he was also on a long-term mission of ten years. If correct, he was a casual cultivator with the Taoist name Lushan Jun.

What surprised him was that another person who was on a short-term guarding mission like him hadn't arrived yet.

"Take me there first!"
