Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 548: Confession, New Mansion, Black King, Seeking Revenge

 Three demons attacked, one was injured and two died.

 What happens after that is simple, just cleaning up the battlefield.

 The living Demon Spider Crab is easy to deal with. Even though it is level 3, the treatment mode is no different from the previous level 1 or 2.

 Then there are the two dead devil spider crabs.

One head was punched in the chest by Luo Chen, but there were also relics left behind, including two huge crab claws and a third-level water demon pill.

 Zhu Qi was in a worse situation.

Luo Chen's Hunyuan Cauldron is made of excellent material. Even if the impurities have not been completely removed, it can still explode with majestic power when thrown by his ancient physique.

Moreover, through these years of continuous sacrificial refining and frequent alchemy refining, his mastery of the Hunyuan Cauldron has become more and more proficient.

 With one blow, no one was left intact, not even the demon pill survived.

However, the compass as the centerpiece of the formation and the eight crab legs used to set up the formation have been completely preserved.

 This is also a good harvest.

As the black-scaled dragon cleaned the battlefield for him, Luo Chen carefully recalled the previous battle.

 Beyond the use of spells and other means, the combat power burst out of his body is clearly visible.

 Faced with monsters that are also physically powerful, at the early stage of the third level, he can overwhelm them without any suspense.

 And the mid-level third-order monsters were obviously no match for him.

 The reason why he was trapped in the formation was because he was careless.

  After all, few people would have thought that monsters would use formations, the "scientific crystallization" of human immortal cultivators.

This also reminded Luo Chen that he should not be careless when facing any enemy.

“The Great Perfection of “The Convergence of Ten Thousand Daos” has derived the function of local changes in the body, which has made up for my purely physical fighting.”

“In this way, even if I don’t use the complete transformation of Tianpeng’s true body, I can still unleash part of my body-refining strength.”

 “And if there is a complete transformation, the late third level of the Ancient Ancients…”

 Luo Chen tasted the product and recalled in his mind the battle with the Golden Wolf King on Tianguyuan.

At this moment, it seems that if he fully transforms now, he may be able to block the opponent's full frontal impact without any damage.

In other words, his current strength is enough to not be afraid of most of the late third-level demon kings.

 And if he waits for his fourth level of Golden Core to be completely stabilized.

 Even when faced with late-stage great monks at the seventh level of the Golden Core, they can still have enough power to protect themselves.

 “Even if you are prepared, win the battle?”

Luo Chen murmured.

 Some are not sure of their true strength.

However, no matter how inaccurate he was, he still had the confidence to win powerfully in the face of Wu Qi's attack.

“I have a good body with enough practice but not enough exercise. I feel that there is still a lot of room for development.”

“Furthermore, with the blessing of the Black Emperor’s Ointment, there is a great chance of being promoted to the fourth level. If that happens, a real qualitative change may come!”

While Luo Chen was summing up, the black-scaled dragon swam over cautiously.

 “Master, here are all the spoils of war.”

Luo Chen put these things into the storage ring, and then unleashed the cleaning technique on the sea area.

 But after cleaning it, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

 Many fighting auras can no longer be completely eliminated by low-level spells such as Cleansing.

 Only a short-term masking effect can be achieved.

 He looked around, made up his mind, and returned to Tianxuan Island with the black scale dragon.

 He first glanced at Tianxuan Fighting Ou lying on the ground, and frowned.

"What's going on here?"

Tianxuan Douou responded in a low voice: "I was given a demon-suppressing talisman by a great monk in the late Jindan stage, and my whole body of demonic power cannot be mobilized."

 The demon-suppressing talisman!

The most widely circulated type of talisman seal script in Beihai's immortal world, ranging from the first level to the fourth level.

 The function is also very simple, that is, the inner elixir to suppress monsters and block the whole body's monster power.

 The reason why there are such talismans and seals.

 This is because some monks like to capture living monsters, tame them and subdue them, and turn them into spiritual beasts.

Furthermore, many people like to use them as rewards to juniors with low status.

Therefore, in order to make it easier for them to conquer the monsters, most of the demon-suppressing talismans are shared. The juniors can use the talisman to control monsters that are higher than themselves.

Luo Chen sent out his spiritual consciousness and carefully examined Tianxuan Douou's body.

Without any resistance from the other party, it was quickly discovered that the third-level demon-suppressing talisman had penetrated into her demon elixir.

This talisman is difficult to remove without the user taking the initiative to remove it.

 unless the main symbol is found.

Luo Chen looked at it carefully and nodded slightly.

"It's not a big problem. Even if there is no main talisman, just give me some time and I can solve it."

His confidence made Tianxuan Douou and Black Scale Jiao a little stunned. The master can even unlock the demon-suppressing talisman?

“You two take a break and leave with me later.”

The black-scaled dragon was stunned, "Do you want to leave?"

Luo Chen did not answer him and returned to the cave alone.

As soon as he entered, he saw the black soul refining flag inserted at the door.

Han Zhan's voice came at the right time, "Congratulations to my little friend for your progress in Taoism!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, "It's only the fourth level of Jindan, not worth mentioning."

"I'm not just talking about the fourth level of the golden elixir, but also your body! The three demon kings were besieging you, especially the mid-level demon king who actually mastered the formation. You were able to kill them all so easily. , Looking at the cultivators at the Golden Core level, you can be considered one of the best."

Luo Chen twitched the corners of his lips and suddenly asked: "Compared with Gu Shaoshang from Feiyunjian, how do I compare?"

On the way back, he learned the details of the previous battle through the black scale dragon.

I also learned the origin of that ship of monks and the name of the leader, Feiyunjian Senior Brother Gu Shaoshang.

Han Zhan smiled, "I only fought with him for a few breaths, and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is not my magic weapon, so it's not easy to judge. But in my opinion, he is not as good as you."

Luo Chen also laughed.

"According to what the senior said, he is not as good as me. But at the seventh level of the Golden Core, he and the senior are equally matched, but in front of the senior, I still feel that this ray of your remnant soul is as deep as the deep sea. Haha..."

Han Zhan was silent.

Luo Chen ignored him and went straight into the cave.

Mana surged, turning into big red hands, and put all the miscellaneous medicinal materials, books, wooden shelves, and futons into the storage ring one by one.

The battle with the three demon kings of the Demon Spider Crab clan was really quite exciting.

 After killing three demons by himself, the Demon Spider Crab clan will definitely not give up.

 This is not some first-order or second-order little crab!

Tianxuan Island has been exposed!

 Hence, it is imperative to abandon this base area.

This is also the reason why human immortal cultivators rarely choose wild mountains and demon sea territories for cultivation.

  If a battle breaks out once or twice, it is easy to provoke the prying attacks of a large number of monsters.

 In that case, meditation is simply impossible.

How could I have been so peaceful in the past five years if I hadn't had two subdued spiritual beasts?

 Leave, right now.

After packing everything up, Luo Chen looked at this cave with a small third-level spiritual vein, feeling quite reluctant to leave.

"Pity."

Muttered and waved his sleeves.

The spirit-gathering formation flags buried underground turned into streams of light and flew toward him, and a clicking sound came from above the cave.

Large expanses of falling rocks and gravel rustled down.

 He turned around and left.

 When passing by the door, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was recalled.

 …

 In the sky, a group of pale white clouds flew slowly.

Luo Chen held the compass left by Zhu Qi and kept fiddling with it.

 This is a water-attribute array disk.

With his current level of accomplishment in formations, it can be observed that there are thirteen formations engraved on it.

 There are ten common first-order and second-order formations.

 The other three formations are quite impressive third-order formations.

The Sea-Sealing Bagua Formation is also among them.

The power of this formation is to extract an endless stream of water vapor from the sea to form a confinement formation. As long as one enters the formation, without absolute explosive power, the person setting up the formation will be almost invincible.

 After all, manpower is sometimes limited, but the sea is boundless.

Luo Chen relied on his late third-level ancient physique and the high-grade magic weapon Hunyuan Cauldron that had been tempered for a long time to be able to defeat it violently in one fell swoop.

 An ordinary person would have been sealed inside alive and killed by those **** spider threads.

In addition to the Sea-Sealing Bagua Formation, there is also a dense mist formation of billowing clouds, which has a concealing effect.

As for the last third-order formation, Luo Chen couldn't tell its origin.

 While he was studying the array, his brows suddenly raised.

With a flip of his wrist, the Ten Thousand Souls Flag stood in front of him.

 “Senior, is there anything you want to say to me?”

In the soul flag, Han Zhan sighed and said: "I just want to tell you that the remaining soul source of my remnant soul is very little, which is the key to my future reshaping. Unless it is a last resort, I It is impossible to go to war and lose our roots because of some weak enemies."

Luo Chen frowned.

 Sure enough, Han Zhan saved a trick.

When dealing with Wu Qi before, he used the reason that the low-level souls of the Ten Thousand Soul Banners were too low to stop him, forcing Luo Chen to personally stop Wu Qi from landing on the Feiyan Islands.

 But over the past few years, he has filled the souls of all the first- and second-level monster crabs he hunted into the soul refining flag.

 This flag has long since restored its quality to the Ten Thousand Souls Flag!

It is even said that because Luo Chen killed Yan Nantian back then, the souls of many foundation-building monks in this banner were divided and devoured Yan Nantian's soul, making the hundreds of foundation-building souls have third-level foundation.

After a large number of low-level souls were replenished, one of the monks who had been a foundation-building great perfection soul was gradually promoted to the third-level ghost king level through devouring and fusion.

This is also the reason why when Han Zhan activated the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, in addition to the original Ghost King, there was also a second Ghost King inside.

In this case, this flag is already a genuine Ten Thousand Souls Flag!

And with Han Zhan in the Nascent Soul stage as the manipulator, no matter how bad it is, how can a mere seventh-level golden elixir monk be his opponent?

However, Han Zhan, while blocking Gu Shaoshang, still had to use the black-scaled dragon's natal magic to save Tianxuan Douou.

For this reason, trouble comes to the door.

  It can be said that Han Zhan has been consciously holding back and hiding his true abilities.

Thinking of the opponent's battle with the Aowao Wolf Emperor in Tianguyuan and all the deeds in Cangwu Mountain, this person is really cunning and cunning, and he likes to keep one or two trump cards.

At this moment, Luo Chen could only laugh when he heard the other party's reasons for holding back.

“I don’t know whether what you said is true or not, but since senior has chosen to walk with me in the Demon Sea and is bound by the Dao Oath, I think it is best for us to cooperate sincerely.”

Han Zhan asked back: "When you talk about sincere cooperation, do you mean going all out for the other party?"

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, and after weighing the gains and losses, he said leisurely: "I hope so."

Han Zhan chuckled, "Then I might as well say it bluntly. What I want may not be possible even if you try your best." "Speak frankly!"

"It is no longer possible for me to rely on hard work to restore my cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage. And if I were a monk of the golden elixir of seizing the body, it would be impossible for me to survive the catastrophe of the Nascent Soul stage by relying on the body of seizing the body. . Therefore, I need a Nascent Soul cultivator, and it must be the body of a human cultivator for me to reshape and rebuild the Tao Foundation. "

 The leisurely look on Luo Chen's face disappeared.

 …

 Hurrah!

 On the sea, there were many bubbles, which gradually became calm as the ripples dispersed.

 Beneath the sea surface, two figures dive deeper and deeper.

 Finally, we came to an extremely deep submarine ravine.

The black-scaled dragon stopped his movements and said respectfully: "Master, this is the most secretive of the three backup bases."

Luo Chen looked at the trench, which was thousands of feet long and had an invisible head. There were really beautiful red corals swaying on both sides of the trench.

That’s blood coral!

 Level 2 spiritual plant, psychic, with strong offensive power.

 Because of its gorgeous appearance, it often attracts sea creatures for them to prey on.

 Hence, this place can be considered a dangerous place, and low-level monsters will not come here.

 He nodded with satisfaction.

 The exposure of Tianxuan Island was within his expectation.

 Hence, he ordered Tianxuan and Black Scale Jiao to find a backup base for him a long time ago.

This is one of them, and it is also the most hidden place.

The black-scaled dragon hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Master, this place only has the spiritual energy concentration of the second-level spiritual veins, and it is still water-attributed. I am afraid it is not suitable for your practice. Otherwise, we should go to Huagu Island!"

Luo Chen waved his hand and walked toward the Coral Trench.

“Huagu Island is too dangerous. Although there is a third-level spiritual vein, there is a large amount of hidden dust sand on it, and it is adjacent to the Nine-clawed Poison King Crab.”

"The less trouble, the better."

“Besides, I have already advanced to the fourth level of the Golden Core. In a short period of time, I will mainly focus on stabilizing my realm. I don’t need a good spiritual place.”

 Into the Coral Trench.

Luo Chen looked around and finally stopped under a rock wall.

 “This is it!”

Before he could take out the Mysterious Fire Sword and open up the cave, the black-scaled dragon swam over.

 “Master, I’m coming! I’m coming!”

"These little things are not worth spending your precious mana on."

As he spoke, he crashed into the rock wall, spitting out demonic power and turning into sharp blades, cutting through the hard rock.

Looking at his dog-legged appearance, Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"Big black…"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Luo Chen recalled the scene where the black-scaled dragon came forward to help him fight regardless of the lack of demon power.

 And the other party’s hard work over the years.

Even if it is because of being enslaved and bleeding for the emperor, it can still be said that hard work has great merit!

 The name Dahei is a bit casual.

 At least that fighting gull can still be called Tianxuan.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen asked: "Speaking of which, do you have a name?"

The black-scaled dragon who was working hard to open up the cave was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "When I was young, my tribe called me Xiaotao, saying that I was very good at eating. Later, when I became fat, they called me Dahei. The same goes for that Kunjiao. Call me."

 Xiao Tao, Da Hei…

Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth. No wonder he called him Dahei before, but the other party never noticed anything wrong.

　　That’s really what the name is!

However, this is too casual.

 “Let me give you a name!”

The black-scaled dragon stopped immediately and looked at Luo Chen eagerly, "Master, do you want to give me a name?"

Luo Chen nodded and looked at the dragon horns on top of the black scale dragon's head. The majestic dragon horns were already visible. Another natal magic with great potential has been awakened, which can swallow foreign objects and rely on its powerful digestion ability to strengthen itself.

If he does not fall in the future, he will definitely do something great, or he may have the image of a king.

Thinking of this, he said softly: "Just call him Black King!"

"Black tortoise?" The black-scaled dragon was stunned and didn't realize how much he looked like the tortoise.

Luo Chen laughed dumbly and repeated, "Black King!"

This time, the black-scaled dragon heard clearly.

 “Black King? Black King!”

After murmuring a few words, he showed a look of ecstasy.

 “Thank you, Master, for the name!”

 Luo Chen shook his head, "Go on!"

 Then, he walked nearby and after a brief observation, he made up his mind.

 Always using mana to resist the pressure of the deep sea and shield against seawater erosion is never the right strategy.

 Originally, he planned to deploy a second-level water-avoiding formation.

But now, there are better alternatives.

 While thinking, he took out the compass he had just received from the storage ring.

 First use your powerful spiritual consciousness to erase the Zhu Qi mark left on it.

 The monster is stronger than the body, but weaker than the soul.

Although he is in the middle stage of the third level, his spiritual soul is only in the early stage of the third level.

Even though Luo Chen’s spiritual soul has not been carefully trained over the years, as his realm has improved, it has gradually grown to a level comparable to the late stage of ordinary Jindan!

He is also proficient in the obscurity and prohibition among the seven basic formations.

Once used at this moment, it only takes three or five breaths to erase the remaining marks of the previous owner.

 Subsequently, mana is injected into it.

The three-layered compass slowly interlocked with each other and began to rotate slowly. The power of the earth's veins and water vapor around it were also pulled and gradually changed.

 The streams of water, with Luo Chen as the center, began to move and rotate continuously.

 The nearby blood coral swayed, emitting an instinct of fear.

 Slowly, a curtain of water spread out, pushing away the sea water one by one, and more mist spread.

It is the dense mist formation of Lan Yun!

It has a strong concealing effect and can be well integrated into the local environment.

 The spreading mist, after a few diffuses, also turned into streaks of red light, which complemented the nearby blood-colored corals. Anyone who saw it would only think it was the light reflected by the blood corals.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction.

 “In this way, you can move without any worries.”

“It just consumes a bit of mana. Usually it’s better to use spirit stones instead.”

 While he was setting up the formation, a rough cave was also opened on the Black King's side.

Luo Chen entered it, praised the other party, embedded the compass in the center of the cave, and began to arrange the spirit gathering array.

 After all this was done, the prototype of a cave that could be lived in for a short period of time began to take shape.

 Then, Luo Chen summoned the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Dang!

 The cauldron landed on the ground, and the magic formula was pinched.

Tianxuan Fighting Ou was shaken out from inside.

“Next, I will unlock the demon-suppressing talisman for you!”

 How to explain it?

 For Luo Chen, it is not a difficult task.

This talisman is mainly because the mana mark of a high-level monk is applied to it. This makes it difficult to uncover the secondary talisman without the main talisman.

 He only needs to use the fourth level Dragon Slaying Technique to cut off its mana mark.

Coincidentally!

Over the years, in order to remove the huge evil of the True Flame Pill, the Dragon Slaying Technique has been practiced day after day, and the proficiency has reached the master level, and it is not far away from the Great Perfection!

 It is more than enough to cut off the mana mark of a seventh-level golden elixir monk.

In just half a day, the mark completely dissipated.

The prototype of the demon-suppressing talisman also appeared on Tianxuan Douou's forehead.

 Luo Chen opened his hand and lifted it up, and the talisman fell to the ground, losing its aura.

As soon as the talisman and seal are gone, I feel free!

Tianxuan Douou uses her demonic power and feels comfortable all over.

 She lay on the ground and said happily: "Thank you Master for the spell!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "You are my spiritual beast, this is what I should do."

 At this point, the smile on his face suddenly faded.

It depends on the owner to beat a dog. If someone tries to take away his spiritual beast, it will not be easy to uncover the matter.

Especially when Han Zhan takes action, if the other party does not take the initiative to return it, it will be even more sinful.

 “Do you still remember the breath of that boat of people?”

As soon as this question came out, Tianxuan Douou was startled at first, and then said bitterly: "Of course Tianxuan will remember it!"

 The Douou clan is the most vengeful.

 Hence, the reputation of being good at fighting comes from holding grudges.

Memorizing the enemy's breath is an instinct engraved in the blood.

Luo Chen nodded, "In that case, take a break and then go look for the people in the boat to see where they are and what to do?"

Tianxuan had a guess in her mind. Could it be that the master wanted to avenge her?

 Whenever she thinks of being teased, captured, or suppressed by others, she can't help but hate the other person.

If you can get revenge, that wouldn't be so cool!

but…

"Master, do you want to avenge me?" Tianxuan hesitated: "There are many golden elixir people on that ship. There are two mid-level monks like you, master, and there is even a great monk at the seventh level of golden elixir. This... "

 Luo Chen had a sneer on his lips, "Don't worry, let's go and look for it first. Don't alert others, just know the general situation."

Seeing that his master was determined, Tianxuan Douou did not resist.

 Coupled with the fact that we were not used to the environment at the bottom of the sea, we immediately left the coral trench.

Looking at her leaving back, Luo Chen snorted.

He wanted to know how a boatload of people and even seven golden elixir monks could go to the Demonic Sea and come to this dangerous basaltic sea.

If you are passing by, it's easy to say, but at worst, you can't bear this breath.

If he wants to do something big in the black rock sea area, then this will affect his plan to refine the Black Emperor's ointment.

When the time comes, just in case, he might want to divert the disaster eastward and take revenge by using the hands of the five royal clans and demon crabs.

 During the war, he could also take advantage of the opportunity to hunt down some monster crabs.

 In recent years, the number of monster crabs hunting has become less and less, which is not enough for him to refine and store more Black Emperor Paste for future practice plans after leaving.

 After thinking about all this, Luo Chen closed the door of the cave.

He has just broken through to the fourth level of the golden elixir. He still needs to stabilize a little or two, but don’t let this hard-earned level fall down because of other trivial matters.

The rhythmic rhythm of breathing slowly sounded in the cave of the coral trench.

 Changing the place seemed to have no effect on Luo Chen.
