Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 269 The Nine Realms of the Blood River, Luo Chen was squeezed

 When I came, I was not alone.

On the way back to the city, there were even more people.

Wang Yuan, Qin Liangchen and his wife, and Gu Caiyi all took a ride on Luo Chen's boat.

Luo Chen was in a dull mood, but in order not to let Qin Liangchen and his wife see anything, he acted as if nothing had happened and chatted with Wang Yuan about body training.

""Gas Origin" is indeed a complete set of second-level body refining techniques, which was created when the body refining warriors declined."

Luo Chen was surprised and said: "Didn't it last for thousands of years? Is this kind of technique still applicable to the current world of immortality?"

“That is of course applicable.” Wang Yuan smiled slightly, “It only takes a few thousand years, which is a long time for us, but for truly powerful people, it only takes a blink of an eye.”

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

 In the world of cultivating immortals, there is no theory that people today are inferior to the ancients, nor is there any theory that the old method is inferior to the new method.

 Whether a set of exercises is powerful or not mainly depends on whether it is suitable for the individual.

And it seems that times have changed, and the world has changed dramatically.

 But for the powerful people who create the skills, it may only take a blink of an eye and a moment of retreat.

You can't just go into seclusion once. Hundreds of years have passed and you will be an old guy who can't keep up with the times after you come out!

“This set of exercises explains in detail the cultivation stages of the Blood River Realm, allowing people to practice step by step to the Baking Furnace Realm. For me, it is a great opportunity.” Wang Yuan said, with a sense of joy in his words.

 In the past, he mostly learned from the east and west.

 Rely on knowledge and instinct, learn from each other's strong points and make up for your shortcomings, and improve your own cultivation system little by little.

But with the orthodox body-building exercises, the way forward finally became clear.

 Speaking of which, it’s also thanks to Luo Chen who photographed this technique for him.

"Blood River Realm? Baking Furnace Realm?" Luo Chen was puzzled.

Wang Yuan smiled slightly and explained to Luo Chen the divisions of the realm of body refining.

 Before innate, everything was ordinary.

 The limit that ordinary people can reach is the Great Vajra state after the innate world.

 At this time, the body becomes more powerful and indestructible, which is the first stage of true body refining.

 According to the division of "Gas Origin", the second level focuses on cultivating qi and blood and developing the human body's treasure.

“Blood runs through the long river, Qi rushes into the sky, light and darkness turn into elixirs, and the four energies are integrated into one. In this way, the second stage is considered to be a great success.”

  "So the second realm is also called the blood river realm."

 “As for the oven realm…”

Wang Yuan shook his head, "The description in the book is only a few words. I have to wait until I reach that state before I can experience it myself."

Luo Chen asked curiously: "That means you are now very sure about how to practice the Blood River Realm?"

“It’s not a sure thing, but at least we know the direction.”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and casually talked about the staged training in the Blood River Realm.

Just like the nine levels in the foundation building stage, the blood river realm is also divided into nine small levels.

 【Refining the internal organs】【Yi Jin】【Cleaning the marrow】【Opening the meridians】【Opening the mind】【Ming Jin】【Dark Jin】【Hua Jin】【Dan Jin】

Luo Chen was stunned for a while after hearing this.

 Is body refining divided into so many details?

“Developing the treasure trove of the human body is an extremely dangerous matter, so it naturally needs to be divided more carefully.”

“Moreover, it seems detailed, but in fact many things are parallel.”

“Even if you are really cultivating the foundation, it is actually possible to practice some part of it without knowing it.”

Wang Yuan said in a clear tone.

 There was no personal secret against Luo Chen in his words, and he even gave some examples.

"I have already mastered the level of refining the internal organs before I even set foot in the world of immortality. It is the set of five internal organs health-preserving boxing, which can exercise the internal organs and nourish the five qi."

“Let’s talk about the two stages of tendon-changing and marrow-cleansing. Every time you monks break through a great realm, the aura of heaven and earth will automatically change tendons and cleanse marrow.”

"And this opening of the meridians is easier to understand. Opening up the large and small meridians of the whole body allows Qi and blood to flow unobstructed, and every move is filled with Qi and blood. When you Qi Refiners transfer spiritual power, you actually open up some of them. Meridians.”

“The big difference is mainly in the enlightenment and the cultivation of the four powers.”

Wang Yuan paused and mentioned Mingshen Posha.

This set of exercises also has some slight means of opening one's mind.

 It’s just that only thirty-six acupoints in the human body have been developed.

But the huge treasure of the human body contains more than thirty-six acupoints?

 As for the four strengths?

 That is to condense the scattered and vigorous qi and blood into qi as much as possible!

Light and Dark Hua Dan, four kinds of energy, one stronger than the other.

Wang Yuan was ignorant in his early years, but he also embarked on this path of cultivation.

His killer move, the Blood God Tribulation Finger, is a kind of bright energy that he cultivated by condensing his energy and blood.

 It can be said that Wang Yuan in the past was indeed unsystematic about body refining.

Practice a little here, practice a little there, all depends on your own exploration.

 Being able to figure out the Ming Jin Blood God Tribulation Finger at the early stage of the Blood River Realm is really a gift.

 But now, with systematic practice methods, we can improve ourselves in a targeted manner later.

 After hearing these words, Luo Chen suddenly sighed.

“No wonder the body refiners declined!”

 Others didn’t know why he sighed so, but Wang Yuan felt the same way.

yes!

 The process of developing the human body is so cumbersome.

Furthermore, without the skyrocketing longevity of a Qi Refiner after building a foundation, few people can completely complete the cultivation of the Blood River Realm.

 Shouyuan is only one aspect.

The reason for the decline of body refiners is that in the process of swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy, Qi refiners actually also practiced part of the body refinement.

Whether it is to relax tendons and cleanse marrow, or to unblock meridians, or even to develop human body acupoints after the golden elixir stage.

 Qi practitioners can passively strengthen their physique during cultivation, so why should they focus on physical training?

 The decline is in line with the trend of the times!

 As for the powerful methods mastered by body refiners?

 Ming Jin? An Jin?

They Qi Refiners also have spells, magic weapons, formations, and talismans instead, which are even more convenient and more powerful.

 No one would sacrifice the near for the far, and abandon simplicity for complexity.

 During the conversation, Feizhou quickly entered Tianlan Peak.

Before leaving, Wang Yuan gave Luo Chen a piece of animal skin as thin as cicada wings.

"I have thoroughly studied this set of "Tianpeng Transformation". You can take it and look at it at your leisure!"

 Putting away the animal skin, Luo Chen nodded.

After Wang Yuan left, Luo Chen took the remaining three people to the second-level low-grade cave before him.

　Now it belongs to Min Longyu.

But he has just consolidated his realm. During this time, he will spend time at Danxia Peak, discussing with Duan Feng how to refine the magic weapon embryo and complete his array.

 So, the cave became idle.

Just in time, Murong Qinglian has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and is trying to attack the foundation.

 Just let her use it.

 …

Arrived at the entrance of the cave, Luo Chen had the spiritual secret to open the formation and quickly opened it.

Murong Qinglian went in and took a look around, feeling quite satisfied.

 “What a great place!”

 “It’s a pity, it’s just too expensive.”

Even a second-level low-grade cave would cost a thousand spiritual stones a month.

 For an ordinary foundation-building monk, the normal income per month is only two to three thousand spiritual stones.

  In other words.

 At least one-third, or even half, of the monthly income must be thrown into the big hole of rent!

Perhaps some people will say, can’t we practice without a second-level spiritual land?

 But only those who truly feel the difference between the first level and the second level will insist on putting the spirit stones into this hole.

 The speed of cultivation between the two is as great as the difference between heaven and earth!

 If nothing else, let’s take Li Yixian as an example.

She has been building the foundation in Dahefang for 20 to 30 years. After building the foundation, she reached the second level of the foundation and found it difficult to continue.

 But when he came to Tianlan Immortal City, he only rented the cave for a year and was promoted to the third level of foundation building.

 Otherwise, she would not have been favored by the Lianyun Business Alliance and recruited as an elder.

 Such a rapid improvement in cultivation speed, is it an improvement in qualifications?

No!

  It's just that the external cultivation environment has changed.

Luo Chen said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, just be satisfied. After you build the foundation, Luo Tian will adjust your salary. You can also rent a cave like this in Tianlan Peak."

Murong Qinglian was just thinking about how to respond.

 But when his eyes fell on Qin Liangchen who was wandering around the room, his words changed when he spoke.

“Renting a cave is really a big expense.”

“But in fact, monks do not practice non-stop every day. In their free time, the spiritual energy of the cave is wasted.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, vaguely aware of what the other party wanted to say.

"you mean?"

Murong Qinglian smoothed his hair and said, "Luo Tianhui now has several foundation-building cultivators. Under your leadership, I'm afraid there will be more and more in the future."

“If everyone rents a cave, a large sum of spiritual stones will be wasted.”

“As far as I know, Tianlan Peak only prohibits subletting in Dongfu, but does not prohibit family and friends from sharing the property.”

 At this point, Luo Chen finally understood what she meant.

 “Shared house?”

Murong Qinglian nodded and said: "Yes! Instead of wasting it, it is better to make good use of every time period. Anyway, the refining is only absorbing the earth vein spiritual energy of Tianlan Immortal City, and we don't need to feel bad."

“And there is one more thing, President, I must mention it to you!”

 From the previous Ronaldinho, he seamlessly switched back to the president.

 This means that what she wants to talk about next is business.

Luo Chen’s face was slightly solemn, waiting for the next words.

“Luo Tianhui is in the ascendant and has a bright future. But for now, it’s just the beginning.”

"The profits from Lingtian have not been seen yet. The magical weapon business of Qitang is also the loot saved before consumption. The commission from Biyougufang Market needs more time to increase."  "For now, supporting Luo Tian Yes, it will always be the elixir you refined."

"In this case, four, five, or even more foundation-building practitioners must be supported at the same time. The financial pressure will be extremely huge!"

“As far as I know, any force that can support more than five foundation-building cultivators must have at least several thousand Qi-refining period cultivators under its command!”

“We, the two hundred people of Luotian Club, cannot support us at all. What we are squeezing is your own value, President!”

Murong Qinglian said slowly.

　　　When the words came to the end, they became even more heavy.

Luo Chen’s expression changed again and again as he listened.

He recalled that during the Dahefang period, Mi Shuhua also used the huge Poshan Gang to support thousands of Qi Refining monks.

The same is true for Wang Haichao.

 Having mastered alchemy myself, the pressure is much less than theirs.

But no matter how small it is, it will not be able to support the consumption of so much foundation-building cultivation in the future!

 At that time, it will no longer be them providing support for Luo Chen, but Luo Chen himself will support them!

 In the final analysis, Luo Tianhui has developed too fast!

 In particular, it also attracted a group of elite monks from Dahefang who were in the Qi refining period.

Coupled with the fact that he was too generous, when he came to a place with abundant resources such as Tianlan Fairy City, he instantly formed a spurt of foundation building one after another.

Think of the future situation described by Murong Qinglian.

Luo Chen felt heavy in his heart.

That is definitely putting the cart before the horse!

Seeing Luo Chen thinking deeply, he really listened to his words.

Murong Qinglian sighed and said: "I have been in the position of the Hall Master for a long time, and I realized that there is something wrong with it."

“But how to solve this problem must be decided by you, the president, and President Sima through discussion.”

Luo Chen forced out a forced smile and said, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law. I was still worrying about these things before establishing the foundation."

 “It’s just a matter of duty, no need to say thank you.”

“Well, I’ll leave first. If you need anything, just ask Brother Qin to find me in the Yiqi Cave Mansion above.”

Luo Chen left the cave and took a flying boat to go up.

 On the flying boat, there was still a person standing quietly.

Looking at Luo Chen's frown, Gu Caiyi bit her red lips with her teeth and her eyes flickered.

 …

 In a short while.

 The two of them entered the cave.

Bai Meiling floated out of the small bedroom where the ghost mill was placed and greeted Gu Caiyi.

He was a bit unfamiliar and indifferent, but Gu Caiyi didn't mind it either.

She knew that Bai Meiling had become a ghost cultivator and her personality had changed drastically from before. It wasn't that she didn't like her.

"Caiyi, come with me. Here are all the chalcedony pills that the master has refined in the past six months."

Bai Meiling floated ahead and entered a huge alchemy raising room.

The reason why Gu Caiyi came here is also to "pick up the goods."

Luo Chen basically can’t go out of the main gate now, and the elixirs are refined in the cave.

 After refining, have someone come to pick it up regularly.

As the master of the Jin Hall, and also in charge of the Danxia Hall in the city, Gu Caiyi is the perfect candidate to take the elixir.

 Before entering the elixir room, she subconsciously glanced at Luo Chen in the living room.

The other party took small steps, the sadness in his brows never dissipated.

 In the elixir raising room.

 Densely packed elixirs were packed in several storage bags.

Gu Caiyi counted carefully.

 She needs to have a record of the quantity of the elixir, and then she will divide it into bottles and sell it, and every profit must be recorded.

Bai Meiling squatted on the ground, drawing circles with a branch boringly.

 “Xiao Ling.”

"Um?"

 “Is he usually like this?”

"He? Oh, you mean the master!" Bai Meiling stuck out her long tongue, which was a little penetrating. "The master is not usually like this. He is always practicing and reading. He rarely looks so idle."

That's not doing nothing, but thinking about the future of Luo Tianhui.

Gu Caiyi shook her head. She realized that she couldn't get anything from Bai Meiling.

soon!

Before dark, Gu Caiyi counted the specific number of chalcedony pills.

 In half a year, there were a total of 20,000 pills!

If you sell it, regardless of the many costs, you can earn 170,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

 This is a huge gain.

 But compared with Luo Chen's peak period, it was a bit lower.

This is related to the fact that he spent half of his time practicing and refining other elixirs.

 And there is no assistance from the logistics monks of the Alchemy Hall.

 So the output dropped.

 Actually, it has actually improved a bit.

 Because the soul has been promoted to the later stage of foundation building, coupled with the second-level earth fire, and the Ice Emperor Cauldron has increased the yield of the elixir.

 Luo Chen only spent half the time, but improved by 10% on the original basis.

Gu Caiyi didn't know the latter, but she was not the female cultivator from Tianxiang Tower who never touched Yang Chunyu.

Having been in a high position for a long time, she has an incomparable understanding of the salaries of monks at all levels of the Luo Tianhui.

 Just by calculating the batch of pills, and after deducting various costs, she roughly came up with Luo Chen's income.

“About thirty to sixty thousand spiritual stones!”

 This income is a huge amount of money that is unattainable for any monk in the Qi Refining Stage.

Even for a true foundation-building cultivator, this is an income that is difficult to obtain from ordinary foundation-building.

But Gu Caiyi knew that Luo Chen's demand for resources was also extremely huge.

 Don’t say anything else!

 This second-level high-grade cave alone requires 48,000 spiritual stones a year.

"No wonder Sister Qinglian said that Luo Tianhui will turn around and squeeze Luo Chen."

 After thinking about it, I hid these storage bags close to my body.

Gu Caiyi left the elixir raising room.

“President, there is something I don’t know whether to say or not.”

Luo Chen raised his head and said speechlessly: "Then tell me, you can't ask me to grant you innocence first!"

 Poof!

Gu Caiyi, who was still full of sorrow, couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

However, after this incident, the atmosphere was not so solemn.

 “I think the treatment you give everyone is too good.”

Luo Chen tilted his head and thought about it seriously.

 It does seem to be better.

Gu Caiyi sat down opposite him, with her hands on her knees and skirt, her manner dignified and generous.

 “You are known to be good to everyone.”

 “But, some are too good.”

"As far as I know, the treatment of Luo Tianhui monks is unique among the small forces near Tianlan Immortal City. It is even comparable to those of medium-sized forces that have been operating for hundreds of years."

“But in fact, sometimes, the more you give, the better. Sheng Mi En, you should also understand the principle of fighting rice enmity.”

“Besides, now you make the elixir yourself and we sell it for you. The labor costs for some of the intermediate steps have actually been eliminated long ago.”

“In my opinion, the treatment of some people should be readjusted.”

 After hearing these words, Luo Chen lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

 After a long while, he raised his head.

Looking at the charming Gu Caiyi, he suddenly said: "Do you know that if your words are known to others, other low-level monks will stab you in the back?"

Gu Caiyi opened her mouth slightly, a little unresponsive.

 “I, I just...”

"I know you are thinking about me." Luo Chen smiled, "However, you should be careful what you say in the future. Some responsibilities are not yours to bear, nor can you bear them."

Gu Caiyi nodded, but still couldn't help but ask: "You should also think about yourself. In fact, even if you make a little more, the people below won't say anything."

yes!

 What can they say?

 The level is not as good as it is, and the confidence is insufficient.

What's more, Luo Chen came all the way and brought them from the backcountry to Tianlan Fairy City.

 Having settled in a new home, she has a powerful organization that she can rely on.

 But some things cannot be said openly!

 “Okay, I understand your good intentions, don’t worry about these things in the future.”

 Attitude suddenly became a little cold.

 Gu Caiyi didn’t know why.

 But I have already received the Chalcedony Pill, and there is no reason to stay any longer.

“Then I’ll go back to Danxia Palace first.”

 Get up and walk towards the outside of the cave.

"etc!"

 Suddenly, Luo Chen stopped her.

Looking at the confused woman who turned around, Luo Chen sighed inexplicably.

“Use up all the Jade Dew Pills I gave you last year!”
