Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 520 Heavy snow, homesickness

 The natal magic weapon has finally been refined.

 The heavy weight in the sea of ​​qi brought a sense of solidity to Luo Chen's path of cultivation.

This feeling is far beyond what treasures such as Xuanhuo Sword and Moon-breaking Wings can compare with.

Even Lanke Heiqi, which has been refined for the longest time, is not even half as good as Hunyuan Cauldron.

  In the following time, Luo Chen devoted himself wholeheartedly to studying this natal magic weapon.

 Just like what Tian Yezi said.

 His Hunyuan Cauldron was made according to the blueprint of Qingdan Valley.

However, because too many equal parts of raw materials were added, the power of the Hunyuan Cauldron was very different. As soon as it was formed, it directly jumped to the high-grade level. This is also a rare top-level work in Tian Yezi's weapon-making career!

Especially, in the end, the addition of Han Zhan and Qing Shuang gave this magic weapon some inexplicable effects.

 Specifically, Luo Chen is still slowly exploring.

 In other words, he is not just groping alone, Tian Yezi is also studying with him.

 …

"The most basic functions are no problem. In fact, not only for refining elixirs, you can use this cauldron to refine weapons, raise gu, and gather spirits. It is more than enough."

“In terms of combat, I feel there is a lot of potential to be tapped.”

"Generally speaking, the combat methods of magic weapons such as the cauldron tower have not changed much. The roughest is throwing and smashing, and the more sophisticated ones are to contain unique treasures inside for killing, such as evil spirits and divine water. , Gangfeng, Lieyan, etc. These types of treasures are often difficult for monks to control directly, but with the natal magic weapon as a buffer, they can form their own killing moves, such as the Yanmeng Qin Tairan you saw before. There are a large number of high-quality Yan Yang Zhensha inside the Yang Furnace, and you can imitate them in the future."

Luo Chen kept these words in mind.

 He does have similar means.

That fiery miasma is to fight the enemy with evil spirit.

However, this method is too harmful to the body, so it is usually difficult for him to use it directly. He can only use it after transforming into Tianpeng's true form.

If the Fiery Miasma is stored in the Hunyuan Cauldron in the future, it can be used to directly fight the enemy.

“Smarter attacks are more mysterious. Three aspects: suppress, imprison, and lock!”

 “As the name suggests, suppress, imprison, and lock up.”

"How to use the first two, Qingdan Valley has records, you can just follow the cat and the tiger yourself. The effect of locking is specially designed by me after referring to the Demon Locking Tower."

“With the help of Han Zhan, who is proficient in the art of soul, and Qing Shuang, who has first glimpsed the secrets of space laws, the design was completed in a hurry.”

“So your natal magic weapon also has the power to capture the monk’s soul.”

"Of course, you still need to do more research on the power in this area. At present, it is not as pure as the Demon Locking Tower. But I believe that as long as you continue to cultivate it with sacrifices, this treasure has great potential in this area. , still above the Demon Locking Tower!"

Tian Yezi spoke eloquently.

Luo Chen listened very carefully and was full of expectations for the future of Hunyuan Ding.

　　After forming the elixir, the monk’s soul has something to rest on.

Often after defeat, when the body cannot escape, one can pour one's soul into the golden elixir and escape several miles away.

However, monks at the golden elixir stage have extremely fast escape speeds, so it is still unrealistic to use golden elixirs to escape from enemies of the same level.

 But this trick can be used to its full potential when the monk is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage!

Don’t you see that the Howling Wolf Emperor Yuanying wants to escape, Han Zhan alone can’t stop him at all, he must use five beings of the same level to attack at the same time, and also have the cooperation of the Demon Locking Tower to capture him.

It can be said that this is the reason why monks in the Yuanying stage are called real people.

 The Nascent Soul is immortal, and the real person is immortal!

And his own Hunyuan Cauldron has the function of targeting monks' golden elixir and Yuanying, which undoubtedly makes Luo Chen's methods more comprehensive.

 “In terms of defense, there’s not much to say.”

“After all, this treasure is mainly used for you to make alchemy, and its combat functions are incidental.”

“Of course, don’t underestimate this treasure. The materials used for it are really solid. It is simply the most raw materials I have ever used in my weapon refining career.”

“Not to mention anything else, its texture alone is enough to withstand most physical attacks at the Golden Core stage.”

“Oh, the premise is that your body can withstand the force of the counter-shock.”

 Luo Chen nodded slightly.

 The materials used for this natal magic weapon are indeed a bit outrageous.

He was afraid of failure before, so he had collected more than ten copies of various materials, and some materials even amounted to more than twenty copies, and now there is still a little left.

 Because of the solid materials used, the Hunyuan Cauldron was not born before it was born, and it was immediately ranked at the top level once it was born!

Hands over hundreds of years of cultivation in one fell swoop!

According to the explorations of Tian Yezi and Luo Chen, it was finally concluded that the functions of Hunyuan Cauldron were divided into five major aspects.

 Zhen, trap, lock, raise, refine!

 From low to high, refining is the core.

And the word "refining" is also the key to Luo Chen's future sacrifice of this treasure.

“Success also requires solid materials, and failure also relies on solid materials.”

Tian Yezi stroked his beard and said awkwardly: "You should have noticed that it is a bit difficult for you to activate this treasure now, right?"

 Luo Chen was also helpless.

 After refining the natal magic weapon, Youquan did not restrict his scope of activities, but opened the door to convenience, allowing him enough space and time to explore for the treasure.

 But he found an open space in Cangwu Mountain and tried to activate the Hunyuan Cauldron.

 But every time it is activated, it is extremely laborious!

You must know that with his powerful magic power, which is close to the third level of the Golden Core, he is no worse than an ordinary middle-stage Golden Core monk.

Just like this, every time the mana is activated, it consumes a lot of mana.

 The most important thing is—slow down!

Even if he tried his best, the flying speed of Hunyuan Cauldron was ridiculously slow.

 With that kind of flying speed, trying to cover the enemy is simply a joke.

There is no problem with ordinary alchemy, but it is more convenient. Even secretly refining the best emperor's ooze, the success rate can be increased from the traditional 10% to 15%!

 If you become proficient, your power in this area will definitely increase.

“I calculated before that the same share of raw materials was used in thirteen parts!”

“In addition, we also added excess Tongxuan Tianjing, Millennium Lei Ying, and even a Qingping Youfeng secretly hidden by me.”

“With so many materials mixed together, the weight has already exceeded the standard. Especially more than 90% of them have not been processed in advance and contain unimaginable impurities!”

“Because of these impurities, your magic power cannot flow smoothly on the Hunyuan Cauldron, and it will naturally be more difficult to drive it.”

Tian Yezi was indeed embarrassed at the moment.

The natal magic weapon has been made by someone, but it cannot be used flexibly. This is a huge mistake for any master forger.

 After all, the higher the grade of the magic weapon, the better, but the more suitable it is.

 He was too eager to create a perfect work.

And because of that drop of weird blood, Hunyuan Cauldron had an opportunity to accommodate a massive amount of raw materials, and he was unwilling to let it pass, which was why it created such an embarrassing situation.

“I have thought about it many times recently and finally came up with three ways to solve this problem.”

 “Three?” Luo Chen became interested, “Which one is the best?”

Tian Yezi shook his head, "It's not about which one is best, but a three-pronged approach."

　　"Please tell me, I am all ears, junior."

"It's actually very simple. It's nothing more than nourishing and refining. Use mana to nourish the grade, use real fire to temper impurities, and you usually use this thing to refine elixirs and refine weapons. Over time, you will naturally become more and more familiar with this treasure."

 Luo Chen nodded, this was in line with his philosophy.

 In other words, these are just three conventional methods.

It’s just that because Luo Chen himself possesses the original true fire, and the Hunyuan Cauldron’s sacrificial refining itself also requires daily use, Tian Yezi will explain it specifically.

"Of course, if you want to force it, I have a way."

Tian Yezi said with a smile.

Under Luo Chen's expectant gaze, he spread his hands and said, "When you reach the late stage of the Golden Core, you can forcefully activate it."

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, and then showed helplessness.

Isn't this just using brute force and force?

etc!

Brute force?

Luo Chen asked tentatively: "Senior mentioned before that my Hunyuan Cauldron is of excellent quality. Even if it does not come with a defensive formation, it can withstand attacks at the Golden Core stage?"

Tian Yezi hummed, "Yeah, even in my opinion, if the attack of the monks in the early stage of Yuanying goes straight, they may not be able to destroy your magic weapon with one blow."

Luo Chen stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, "I think, if I use pure physical strength to smash the enemy with this treasure, is it a reasonable way to use it?"

 The tripod magic weapon does have a basic combat mode of throwing and smashing.

　　However, that is all under the condition of using mana to activate.

 You are carrying a big cauldron...

Thinking of Luo Chen carrying that big tripod with three legs and two ears, chasing people and smashing them wildly...

Tian Yezi was dumbfounded.

  …     Dongfu.

Luo Chen, who had just returned from Tian Yezi, couldn't wait to start refining his natal magic weapon.

 It is not a simple tempering in the sea of ​​qi.

Rather, he placed the Hunyuan Cauldron outside and used the True Fire to burn and refine it bit by bit.

Looking at the normal-sized cauldron suspended in the sky in front of him, Luo Chen concentrated on driving the true fire.

Under the scorching green flames, according to his eyesight, the Hunyuan Cauldron, which was as round as a pot-bellied woman, was "slimming down" at a speed visible to the naked eye!

 Strews of black impurities, in the form of liquid and turbid gas, seep out little by little.

These are all impurities contained in raw materials.

It is precisely because of these impurities that Luo Chen is now unable to use his natal magic weapon freely.

 After some sacrifices, Luo Chen felt a little tired, and then he made a finger.

The big round cauldron suddenly shrank in size, and finally turned into a three-inch small cauldron.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, and the three-inch small cauldron suddenly turned into a stream of light and entered his body.

I patted my belly and felt a sense of satisfaction.

 After a short rest, Luo Chen began to practice again.

 Because he recently used too much mana to refine his natal magic weapon, his cultivation speed has slightly slowed down.

 But it’s only “slightly”!

 His realm, in the past six months, is still slowly pushing to the next level with an unstoppable trend.

 The third level of golden elixir is just around the corner!

 …

 On Cangwu Mountain.

　　It is still the mountainside platform.

　　It is the middle of winter, but it is still snowing heavily in this holy land of the Immortal Family.

This is somewhat different from the fairyland’s holy land imagined by ordinary people.

In their imagination, the Holy Land of the Immortal Family must be like spring all year round, with a mild climate and no severe cold or heat.

It is actually correct to think so. In the world of human cultivation in the Eastern Barren, many sects and tribes are arranged in this way.

but!

 This is the unknowable depth of the wild mountains!

 It is the holy land of the Feather Clan, a lineage of the Monster Clan!

 For monsters, it is more important to be close to nature and understand the great road.

 Born from nature, growing up in nature, there is no reason to abandon nature after you have achieved success.

On the contrary, because of the heavenly cycle of changing seasons, some unique monsters can grow better.

Just like on the mountainside platform, when Luo Chen was refining elixirs, there were many birds of ice, snow and even water attributes watching.

 Among them, there are a large number of demon kings of the third level!

 After a furnace of dazzling star-like liquid was freshly baked, Luo Chen did not stop as usual, but braved the heavy snow to take out various materials from the storage ring with skill.

Seeing him like this, the birds suddenly became excited and chirped.

 “It’s time to refine the Transformation Pill again!”

 “I wonder if Master Luo will succeed this time?”

"Xiaoman calculated before that Master Luo Chen has failed seventy-eight times!"

"Yes, this is the seventy-ninth time. I feel that this time it will definitely succeed."

“I heard that there are two human alchemists. If you succeed once, you can have an endless supply. I just hope I can get off to a good start!”

 In the midst of the chatter, Luo Chen seemed to have not heard anything.

 Performing each step in an orderly manner according to the various alchemy techniques previously studied and improved.

 At the end, drop the drop of blood that contains the power of Tianyezi Yuanying into it.

This scene surprised all the birds.

“Strange, wasn’t it always the first time to add Nascent Soul essence and blood?”

"Yeah, why is it the last turn this time? And it seems that there is no plan to directly integrate."

Three years have passed, and under the influence of my ears and eyes, there are indeed many demonic beasts with high understanding in Cangwu Mountain who have entered the alchemy path.

In this way, we can also notice the difference in Luo Chen’s alchemy process.

 But the more they know, the more they don’t know.

“With the help of Qingshuang, the Hunyuan Cauldron has its own internal space.”

“It’s hard to say how it will fare against the enemy, but it is very useful when refining elixirs.”

"These small spaces can isolate the power of the medicine and allow me to refine it at the same time. Then, under the guidance of the magic power, they will shape each other. In this way, when the elixir is made, it will not happen overnight, but a natural overall change."

“This method is more in line with the concept of transformation!”

While Luo Chen was thinking about it, he made a combination of words!

 Suddenly, the space inside the cauldron separated, and many refined medicinal liquids began to merge at the same time.

That feeling is like the transformation of a monster, not just a little change, but an overall change.

 At the end.

　　　…

 A burnt smell emerged, and everyone was disappointed.

 Failed again!

 However, under the attention of some people, they found a smile on the corner of Luo Chen's mouth.

 Because, on the attribute panel, an entry slowly appeared.

 【Level 4: Introduction to Transformation Pill 1/100】

 “I didn’t succeed once, but I showed up!”

“This is completely contrary to the system rules I summarized in the past, but it also coincides with some of the concepts I speculated back then, that is, failure is not invalid, and failure can also accumulate experience points.”

 “Seventy-nine failures, ushering in a reluctant entry. The real success is not far away!”

 No one knew the surprise in Luo Chen's heart.

 He simply cleaned the Hunyuan Cauldron, swallowed it back into the sea of ​​qi, and used his magic power to nourish it.

He also carefully collected the burnt failed medicinal solutions and studied them in private.

 After cleaning up, the birds have dispersed.

Luo Chen stood on the mountainside, overlooking the scenery below.

The north wind is howling miserably, and the sky is covered in silver, creating a scene of thousands of miles of ice.

 The smile at the corner of his mouth gradually faded.

 “It’s been three years!”

“It has been three years since I fell here without knowing it, and I am only a little short of reaching the third level of the Golden Core.”

“I don’t know what happened to them.”

 A faint sadness appeared on Luo Chen's quiet face.

 After the sudden surprise, there was a sudden sadness.

 He missed the people of Luo Tianzong.

I want Sima Huiniang to be strong and capable, and I want Gu Caiyi to be bright and beautiful.

 I wonder if Brother Wang has achieved great success in body refining and has been promoted to the Furnace Realm?

I don’t know whether Qu Lingjun has stopped practicing, whether he has become proficient in alchemy, and whether he has mastered the second-level Tongyou Pill, Blood Burning Pill and other pill recipes he left behind?

Yuan Dongsheng died many years ago, but the daughter he left behind was really talented. I wonder if his uncle Li Yingzhang can train her to become a rising star of Luo Tianzong.

 Where is Duan Feng, where is Xiaolong...

Luo Chen was suddenly in a trance, standing on the mountainside platform, so abruptly.

 In the day and night palace.

Qingshuang glanced in that direction, with a trace of pity in her eyes.

 But immediately, he cheered up.

 A black shadow suddenly flew in.

 “Xiaoqing, what do you want from me?”

Qingshuang looked a little solemn, and with a move of her finger, a snowflake fell into her hand.

 “I feel something is wrong!”
