Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 489: Banning Fusion Techniques and Improving Strength

Min Longyu is naturally not a person who has gained fame in vain.

 Under Fu Jiusheng's explanation, Luo Chen gradually understood.

Min Longyu has profound attainments in the seven basic restraints and has a very solid foundation, so he can move quickly and steadily along the formation.

The reason why Luo Chen was not mentioned basic knowledge on such big concepts before was mainly because Luo Chen had no foundation in formations at all at that time.

 The understanding of the prohibition is only a little bit of fumbling when deciphering the owner's mark on the storage bag.

Therefore, Min Longyu did not mention the seven basic prohibitions in terms of broad concepts, but asked him to get started by copying and describing.

“Min Longyu is best at mountain ban, so you can see that most of the formations he arranges rely on the power of mountains and rivers.” Fu Jiusheng said eloquently.

Luo Chen listened with great interest.

Looking back carefully, Fu Jiusheng was indeed right.

Throughout Min Longyu's journey, whether he was attacking Xieyue Valley, the Stone Formation in Gaolingyuan, or the Colorful Danxia Formation, it was basically related to the mountain ban.

“Does the Colorful Danxia Formation also take into account Yunjin?” Luo Chen asked curiously after listening to the other party’s introduction.

Fu Jiusheng stroked his beard and smiled, "That's true. The mountain protection formation at Danxia Peak is mainly based on the mountain ban and the cloud ban, supplemented by the magic weapon flying sword that was added later to form the clear ban, so it is so powerful."

“In addition, the spiritual consciousness mark and divine consciousness mark you mentioned before are all forbidden.”

 Under Fu Jiusheng's introduction, Luo Chen gradually gained a systematic understanding of the so-called seven basic restrictions.

 Shanjin, thick and simple, imitates the mountains and rivers of the earth, forming a spiritual restraint.

Water prohibition, the best is like water, walking the path of harmony, gentleness and gentleness.

 Wind ban and cloud ban mean that the wind and clouds are moving, and the weather is myriad, either hard or soft, and elusive.

As long as those who are proficient in one of them can join the formation, their power will be increased several times.

 The remaining three taboos of darkness, light and emptiness are more special.

Himun is invisible and has no quality, or it can be achieved by spiritual consciousness, ghost, or the movement of Qi, or even the fate of cause and effect can be involved. Most ordinary monks know one or two hands, but only one or two hands. When it comes to mastery, not many people dare to boast.

 Mingban, as the name suggests, means to be exposed, and most use utensils to carry the ban. This basic ban covers an extremely wide area, and it would be difficult to finish it in just a few days and nights.

As for the final air restriction, in Fu Jiusheng’s words, it is a spatial restriction.

Mastering this air restraint and integrating it into magical powers can either shrink the earth to an inch or hide everything in one's sleeves. The most common product of the air restraint is the storage bag.

If it is integrated into the formation, it will be easy to move in the void, teleport thousands of miles, across a continent, or even the four seas.

There is also a rumor that the heavenly deity in the immortal world has a vast inner space that is trapped in the body and creates the world inside the body.

“These seven basic prohibitions are so numerous and vast that almost no one in the world of immortality can master them all.”

“From these seven basic restrictions, many schools such as array masters, seal masters, spell masters, and enchantment masters have been derived.”

“And because the formation is the most consistent with heaven and earth, has the strongest performance, and is also the most practical. Therefore, ordinary cultivators like us, by default, link the restriction with the formation. In fact, there are still some slight differences between the two."

Fu Jiusheng talked eloquently and with great enthusiasm.

Luo Chen also listened very enthusiastically.

He only thought that the relationship between restriction and formation was mother and son, but he did not expect that restriction would involve so many aspects.

Now that I think about it, some of the spells he cast to activate the magic arts, mobilize mana, and form special mana output methods are actually an alternative manifestation of prohibition.

 “Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading!” Luo Chen said with emotion.

Fu Jiusheng burst into laughter, "I just know a lot about common sense, but actually my talent in formations is very average, far inferior to the formation geniuses like Min Longyu."

 “It’s also very impressive!” Luo Chen sighed sincerely.

Fu Jiusheng smiled and shook his head, "As soon as we chatted, time passed by unknowingly. Don't delay the construction of the Dragon Trap Array!"

Luo Chen hummed, "I will listen to your command. If you need me anywhere, just tell me!"

 Fu Jiusheng pondered for a while.

After a long while, he said: "I originally wanted you to use mana to engrave restrictions on the materials and break them into the formation base. Now that I know that you have lifted the restrictions on the entry of a large number of storage bag imprints, it means that you have a little knowledge of the obscurity and prohibitions. There is a basis. In this case..."

“The task of drawing the earth’s energy and sorting out the aura of heaven and earth will be left to you!”

  If we say that before, Luo Chen relied on the system and could confidently say, "I learn things very quickly."

  But after understanding the profoundness of the ban.

 At this moment, a sense of awe has arisen.

 He pursed his dry lips, "Can I do it?"

Fu Jiusheng smiled casually, "In fact, it's not that difficult, especially for you who have a strong soul. Just listen carefully..."

 …

Danxia Peak.

The mountain gate of Luotian Sect is located.

The remaining foundation-building cultivators gathered together and looked at Sima Huiniang, who was at the top, with joy.

Under the eager gaze of everyone, Sima Huiniang put down the jade slip of information sent back by Xing Zonghan.

 She smiled.

 “Succeeded!”

“The Supreme Elder led his people to capture a piece of spiritual land with third-level spiritual veins in the Xiaoyue Mountains.”

As soon as these words came out, cheers erupted in Huixin Hall.

No one expected that it would actually be defeated.

How long it has been!

It turned out to be so smooth!

 That’s not all!

Sima Huiniang continued: "The captured spiritual land is far away from the front line of the battlefield and very close to Poyue Immortal City. From a safety perspective, it is also an extremely good piece of land."

 Another burst of cheers!

 After cheering, everyone looked at Sima Huiniang eagerly.

“Master, when will we move there?”

“Yes, we must be in great need of manpower when the spiritual land is being set up. When will we go there to help?”

“Qian is willing to contribute a small amount!”

Facing this enthusiastic atmosphere, Sima Huiniang couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

 She roughly understood what these people were thinking.

 Since the sect has a third-level spiritual vein, it is natural that a second-level cave for the foundation-building monks to practice is indispensable.

 If you go there early, you can enjoy it earlier.

Luo Tianzong's number of foundation-building cultivators over the years once reached twenty-five.

Such a huge number can no longer be satisfied just by renting the second-level cave in Tianlan Immortal City.

Every year, most of the wealth of the Luo Tian Sect’s foundation building and true cultivation is spent on the rent of the cave.

Especially after Luo Chen formed the elixir, most of the sect's income had to be used to support Luo Chen, leaving very little income for the following backbones.

With free second-level caves, everyone can save money on rent and have money instantly.

but!

 Understanding them is one thing.

 But it’s one thing to move the whole family!

 First of all, Danxia Peak has been in business for a long time. All Luo Tianzong's business basically radiates from Danxia Peak.

 It is absolutely impossible to abandon it directly.

 So, people must stay here.

Secondly, Luo Chen mentioned that there are still many potential threats after the spiritual land is initially determined. In this case, it would not be suitable to send all the power of Luo Tianzong.

 Otherwise, if one is not careful, the whole army may be wiped out.

　That is more gain than loss.

at last!

Sima Huiniang turned her attention to Min Longyu, who was equally excited.

“Has the Danxia Spirit Seizing Formation been set up?”

Min Longyu nodded quickly, "I combined the Heavenly Works Spirit Seizing Array and the Incense Spirit Seizing Array to build this Danxia Spirit Seizing Array according to local conditions. In less than ten years, I can cultivate the spiritual veins of this place to the second level."

"In that case, go ahead first, we need you over there."

 Min Longyu is indispensable.

 Others are a little confused.

 But after Sima Huiniang explained, she had no choice but to suppress the urgency in her heart.

 The day ahead is long, so don’t rush for the moment.

The cave at Xuelangping has not been planned yet, so if we go there now, we will be waiting in vain.

Let’s stay here honestly and do our part well first.

 What's more, the headmaster also said that there is a shortage of materials over there and they need to raise them from the rear.

"Master, when should I leave?" Min Longyu asked impatiently.

Sima Huiniang already had a case, and she said calmly and elegantly: "First pick five sect foundations that are not important and go with you. In addition, if you leave your apprentice at Danxia Peak, we still need an array master. "Caregiver."

"Uh-huh."

Min Longyu nodded, his eyes falling on the new group of foundation-building cultivators in the hall.

  …    Ten days later.

 Sixteen people from Luo Tianzong, headed by Min Longyu, arrived at Xuelangping.

As soon as he landed, Chu Kui came out to greet him.

Before Min Longyu had time to reminisce about the past, his eyes were instantly attracted by the figure floating above the mountains.

 “That’s...the Supreme Elder?”

Chu Kui smiled and nodded.

Min Longyu stared at it for a while, and then his eyes showed surprise.

"Is the Supreme Elder pulling the earth's energy and sorting out the flow of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

Chu Kui shrugged, "I don't understand this. Come with me first. Elder Fu and the others have been waiting for you for a long time."

 In the sky.

 Luo Chen’s eyes were half open and half closed, seemingly unfocused.

 But the majestic spiritual consciousness has been released, covering an area.

 After sensing the trend of the earth's veins and the general rules of the flow of spiritual energy.

He raised his hands in vain and shot out a series of spiritual techniques.

With oneself as the center and mana as the traction, it controls the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to shrink inward, and finally accumulates inside the sect's spiritual land.

 He has been doing this kind of work for a while.

Whether it's Luo Tianzong or several other monks, whenever you look up recently, you can see Luo Chen's figure standing in the sky most of the time.

Whenever he takes action, the originally formless spiritual energy will be controlled by him and turn into a spiritual energy storm, blowing across several nearby mountains.

Even though I have seen this kind of mysterious method countless times, I am still amazed every time I see it.

"The secrets are mysterious and difficult to grasp, but their power is indeed unpredictable."

"Mastering the free spiritual energy of heaven and earth is obviously a method that can only be used by Zhen Yuanying, but with the help of the trapped dragon formation and the dark ban, I can perform simple control."

“Although it cannot be used against the enemy, it is enough to change its flow direction and prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out, thereby benefiting the lives outside the sect.”

“I wonder if this restriction can be used in my spell casting?”

Having used the Hidden Ban for many days, Luo Chen already had a preliminary understanding of this type of ban.

 Vaguely, he only felt that this kind of restriction could be integrated with magic.

The power of the spell is huge, not inferior to the attack power of a magic weapon.

With the abilities of a Golden elixir cultivator, with more practice, one can often become proficient in several advanced spells.

  However, there are still a small number of people who use this method to fight the enemy.

In addition to the commonplace problems before, another problem is that the traces of spell casting are too obvious and the speed is too slow.

Luo Chen has a proficiency panel, and most of his spells can be cast instantly or quickly.

 But the traces were too heavy, which he had not been able to solve before.

Like the innate Qi Mahamudra, its power is extremely extraordinary!

After Luo Chen formed the elixir, he used it several times on monks of the same level, but the effect was only average.

 It’s so obvious!

It’s too easy for the enemy to be on guard!

 At the elixir-forming ceremony, he was defeated by Hong Ling's sword.

 In the battle at Huimengling, the ancestor of the He family used his spiritual consciousness to sense and avoid in advance.

Even the third-level demon wolf king was prepared and counterattacked, and was even defeated by Luo Chen.

Had he not attached the withering fire to it, it would have been difficult to achieve such thunderous results.

“If I integrate the concealment into this kind of spell, when I cast it, it will be instantaneous and fast, and I can also hide the movement, thunder will burst out silently, and I will defeat the enemy and win!”

This thought lingered in Luo Chen's heart.

　　It makes him ready to take action recently.

 The reason why I have this idea actually comes from the Fifth Qi.

 The opponent's trump card is called Qingping Youfeng.

Not only is this move extremely powerful, it is also very concealed, making it difficult for even the Golden Elixir monks to detect it.

 Duanduan is a must-have killer move for Yin people!

Luo Chen also wanted to have such a killing move in case of emergencies.

His three magic weapons, Xuanhuo Sword and Tianyue Purple Gold Wheel, are all for frontal attack.

  The Soul-Breaking Nail has a very unique effect, and it works wonders when unexpected.

However, the level of this treasure is too low, and it can be easily shaken away, making it difficult to compete for full power.

Hence, Luo Chen focused on the magic he was best at.

 The innate energy Mahamudra is just an example.

 What he wanted to put into action most was actually another third-level spell—Jing Hua Shui Yue!

 This technique has been upgraded to the level of perfection when the supporting second-level spells have been perfected.

 It can barely be used against the enemy.

Moreover, the classification of this technique is somewhat special. It is an illusion technique, partial to the soul type, and has the effect of confusing the five senses.

Even if it is destroyed and backfired, it will not hurt yourself excessively as simply and crudely as the Deterrence Technique.

If this illusion can be activated silently, then Luo Chen will truly have a place among the powerful men of the same level!

“Don’t worry, maybe I can discuss it with Min Longyu and the others, and let them, the formation mages, help me perfect this idea.”

Of course, Luo Chen had already discovered the arrival of his disciples.

After finishing today’s work, Luo Chen descended and found them.

 There is no need to talk about reminiscing about the past.

 Soon, Min Longyu devoted himself to the work of perfecting the trapped dragon formation.

Of course, this great formation, which is to be the foundation of all eternity, cannot be accomplished overnight.

Even though there were a lot of array masters busy, and Fifth Qi, Cen Qiusheng and others helped to raise the materials for the array, it was only a rudimentary one.

 There are still many steps to take if you want to really make a difference in the future.

 It’s like moving mountains to fill the sea!

 Literally moving mountains and reclaiming seas.

In the future, we will have to find some first- and second-order Lingmai mountains and rivers, move them and build them outside the main veins, dig canals to divert water, create a Feng Shui pattern, ensure smooth circulation of ground air, etc.

 Therefore, eat the food one bite at a time and walk the road step by step.

 Everyone is busy in a steady and orderly manner.

  Night time.

 In Luochen Cave Mansion.

 Fu Jiusheng and Min Longyu, who were invited, listened quietly to his idea.

 “Merging prohibitions into spells?”

 “This is a bit wishful thinking!”

 “Why are you wishful thinking? Fellow Daoist Fu, didn’t you also say that there are powerful people who integrate air restraint into magical powers?”

 “So that’s great power!”

"Well…"

"According to what Long Yu has seen, it is indeed difficult to use the Dark Forbidden Fusion Spell. It can easily cause conflicts, and either the power will be suddenly reduced, or the spell will be out of control and backfire on oneself. However!"

 Under the gaze of the two golden elixir masters, Min Longyu licked his lips and looked very excited.

“If we just build an auxiliary formation to cover up the fluctuations in mana, so that when the spell is cast, the clues will be smaller, it’s not really that difficult.”

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "Do you have any idea?"

“This is not the case yet, but once you have an idea and find a solution, isn’t it just a matter of following the diagram?” Min Longyu smiled proudly, “It shouldn’t be too difficult if you give me a certain amount of time.”

Fu Jiusheng shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, Min Longyu's talent for formations is better than mine. He can find new ways to do things that cannot be done by restraint alone."

Min Longyu chuckled, "The elder is overly complimentary."

 Immediately, Luo Chen cast several of his special spells in front of Min Longyu to let him get familiar with them, and then waited for him to give the results.

 Before leaving, Min Longyu suddenly spoke.

"Sir, if you want to make some achievements in the formation, you can't just study the hidden prohibitions. That will only be walking on one leg. In my humble opinion, you need to learn more about the other basic restraints."

Luo Chen nodded, and he listened to what he said.

 After forming the elixir, although there are many things to do, there is also plenty of time.

He has always had the idea to practice a skill in addition to his main business of cultivation and alchemy.

 His goal is naturally the formation that he has been coveting for a long time.

Coincidentally, there are two formation masters in Luotian Sect.

Min Longyu has outstanding talent in formations and often has unexpected ideas.

Although Fu Jiusheng follows the rules, he is better because of his solid foundation and broad knowledge.

With the guidance of these two people, Luo Chen believed that he would be able to lay a good foundation like alchemy!

 The future is promising!
