Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 602: Search for dragons, point holes, and choose caves. Is this Qingyang that Qingyang?

 Zhang Family Courtyard.

 Luo Chen's return was sensed by Tianxuan early without deliberately concealing it.

Looking at the two female cultivators who went out to greet them, Zhang Jiadi was not seen.

 He asked specifically.

 The answer I got was that I accepted a mission to **** supplies and went to the front line.

“I remember that you just completed a mission not long ago, why did you take on a new one? The mission intervals of star demon hunters don’t seem to be that fast!”

 Zhang Jiadi and the others are just foundation-building monks, and their understanding of the Ten Thousand Immortals Society is limited by their realm.

 But Luo Chen learned more from Xiao Buhuan, the golden elixir monk, on Quyang Island this time.

 In the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, most of the mission intervals for Qi Refining and Foundation Building monks are half a year. As for the golden elixir monks, their growth rate is much longer, usually about once every three to five years.

 During wartime, this frequency will be higher.

 I will finally have a place to stay.

Luo Chen understood instantly.

 Then, while he was free, he checked Tianxuan's condition.

Tianxuan blinked, as if she thought of something.

These people are serious casual cultivators!

He is the kind of casual cultivator who has joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Association but has not passed the qualification as a demon hunter.

These people are the main components of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association!

The specific number cannot be estimated, it is at least tens of thousands, and it is even increasing as the war between good and evil is in full swing.

 Early on the second day.

Luo Chen took Tianxuan out of the house in a hurry.

Luo Chen nodded, waved to Tianxuan, and went back to the room.

 “I shouldn’t be running around as much as before in the days to come.”

Luo Chenshi sat down and asked, "How are things going?"

By acting like this, the master has obviously passed the assessment mission and obtained the status of a star-level demon hunter, so he will consider settling in the Fulong Mountains.

Underfoot, there are vast swamps.

Luo Chen murmured something, and then without stopping at all, he took Tianxuan into the towering mountains.

 Obviously, this is not war time, and Zhang Jiadi does not seem to be that enthusiastic about star upgrades.

Tianxuan stood aside, and Luo Chen sat cross-legged next to her, looking down at the mountains and ravines with eyes like lightning.

 Next, you only need to heal your hidden injuries. Not only will you be able to quickly recover, but your subsequent practice will also be even more powerful.

 After he entered, Tianxuan followed him into the house.

In the distance, the mountains are towering.

Luo Chen gave a thumbs up.

"Thanks a lot."

Tianxuan cheered up and said, "It's all done. I didn't take a merchant ship to come and go. I flew at full speed, so I saved most of the time and ran back and forth. In recent days, rumors about Cold Light Island have begun to spread in the outer areas of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. I believe that the inside rumors will reach Longyuan City soon."

 In terms of realm, it is much weaker than at its peak, but it has just entered the golden elixir level.

“Tomorrow, I’m going to the Fulong Mountains to get some information. You can come with me.”

 …

If the Fulong Mountain Range is named after the wild beast Stone Dragon, then the name of Longyuan Immortal City is related to the vast swamp stretching for thousands of miles below.

“The base number is large enough, and the number of star-level demon hunters can gradually increase, and high-level monks can harvest more leeks.”

Because he was afraid of the rigorous tasks of a star-level demon hunter and could not afford the rental cost of a huge cave in the Fulong Mountains, he chose the aura-poor Longyuan Daze as a place to practice.

Wenxiu sighed, rubbed his belly and said, "Lao Zhang is thinking about his children."

Coming out of the west gate of Longyuan Immortal City, two escaping lights flew smoothly and slowly.

Facing the sea and backed by Longyuan Daze, it is named Longyuan.

  He is a man who values ​​​​love and justice.

 However, the basics are much more solid.

 …

Or, for demon hunters who are interested in improving their star rating, they will take the initiative to accept some tasks to quickly improve their star rating.

 Zhang Jiadi wanted to complete all the tasks for the next few years in one go, so that he could free up time to take care of Wenxiu's mother and son.

There are some low-level people living above, most of them are refining Qi and building foundations, and there are few golden elixir monks.

 Luo Chen took back his consciousness with satisfaction.

 A hilltop.

From this point of view, the injuries sustained during the last war were indeed a blessing in disguise.

Luo Chen's consciousness gently swept over some buildings in Daze, showing a thoughtful look.

 After a long while, Luo Chen slowly withdrew his gaze and stood up.

 “Change another place!”

Tianxuan wondered, "Can't it work here? I see that the empty cave is full of spiritual energy."

“Under the clusters of flowers, there are just rotten branches and leaves. The so-called spiritual energy is full of spiritual energy, but it is actually a castle in the air. I have been practicing for two years, so it is not my first choice!”

Luo Chen explained lightly, and then flew towards another mountain.

Tianxuan touched Luo Chen’s words and seemed to understand.

Why can’t you see these doorways yourself?

She didn’t know that the methods of finding dragons and tapping acupoints and severing spirits and cutting veins were really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Luo Chen has also practiced the basics of formations for many years, and has a pair of eyes that can keenly sense vitality, so he can do this.

Even said that the God-Searching Compass he was holding in his hand and the third-order God-Searching and Spirit-Searching Array that was on at all times were also a big help.

It was by relying on these methods that Luo Chen had the confidence to verify the third-level caves that Xiao Buhuan told him one by one.

 But it’s a pity.

Spent most of the day, and after careful exploration, I gained very little.

In other words, Xiao Buhuan, a five-star demon hunter, is not at a high level. He has only been exposed to third-level low-level or even mid-level caves.

 Perhaps very good for him.

 But for Luo Chen, it doesn’t quite meet his needs.

 In the next two days, Luo Chen visited several places that seemed to be good places to hide the wind and gather energy, and the Feng Shui trend was excellent, but in the end he was still disappointed.

Standing on a green mountain peak, Luo Chen ignored the casual cultivators who were looking at him with curious eyes from other directions and put away the God Compass.

 “Let’s go back!”

Tianxuan was confused, "Can't even do it? I just used the method you taught me, master, to detect it. The spiritual veins under this mountain peak are quite solid, at least at the third-level mid-level level."

 Luo Chen shook his head.

 Third-level mid-level is still not his goal.

However, this trip was not in vain.

 At least, he confirmed what Xiao Buhuan said!

 The spiritual veins in the Fulong Mountains have indeed suffered man-made damage.

 As a result, although there are several fourth-level spiritual veins, they are each respected and self-contained.

Even the low-level spiritual veins under his command are different from what they appear to be, making it extremely difficult to judge the true level.

"It seems that the really good things are still controlled by the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. If I want a third-order high-grade spiritual vein, I have to start with Diaosou."

 “Diaosou…”

Luo Chen muttered this name, and left the Fulong Mountains leisurely under the gazes of the casual cultivators.

 After he leaves.

The casual cultivators started discussing in low voices.

“Wanxianhui, another golden elixir monk has arrived.”

“There are actually maids who are in the golden elixir stage accompanying me. I think it must have been very beautiful before I became a casual cultivator.”

"So what about the scenery before? You can see that he stayed in the Fulong Mountains for many days, but he has not made up his mind to settle there. It can be seen that he is also a cash-strapped person."

"Who isn't? The lease term here is coming soon, and the spiritual stone is about to bottom out. But I can't afford the rent for the next year, and I'm afraid I have to take on another mission."

"What kind of mission are you taking? Why not go to the first line of defense? Hunting monsters can be done quickly."

"Let's talk about this later, fellow Taoist, I've been hearing you scold your cave before. The spiritual energy is intermittent, which affects your practice. Don't you plan to change to a better cave?"

“It’s not that easy to change. The better caves have long been occupied by others.”

“Hehe, you can just grab one when it expires. Anyway, the rent will be paid, and the Wanxian Society won’t cause trouble for you.”

 “Isn’t this... a little bad?”

 “Haha, are you excited?”

 The discussion among the casual cultivators has gradually shifted from focusing on Luo Chen, an unknown golden elixir cultivator, to other topics.

No one thought anything was wrong, and we had a lot of fun talking.

However, when it comes to the quality of the spiritual veins of their own caves, most of them are secretive and say it is worse than anything else.

This is because I’m afraid of being noticed!

 …

 In the Monster Hunting Department.

 The three monks sat in a cross-legged group, staring at the scene in mid-air.

While maintaining the mirage bead to review the battle scene, Diaosou introduced: "The identity of this monk in white has been found out, and he is indeed a remnant of the Yuan Mo Sect. His real name is Yan Zhixian, not Qin Tianming at all." "But Yan Zhixian himself He does have some talent. Before the Yuan Mo Sect happened, he was still thinking about participating in the next True Inheritance Competition."

“In order to truly teach the art of fighting, he went out to hunt for treasures, and in this way he escaped the catastrophe.”

 At this point, he paused.

“This person is not important. Except for the resources related to the Demon Sect’s training books, all his inheritance can be exchanged for demon hunters.”

“Now, you’d better rate the two new star-level demon hunters!”

There are two people next to them, a man and a woman. The man is young and has a big head, like a big-headed boy. The woman has a graceful figure. Even though she looks older, she still has charm. Especially her slim body wrapped in purple clothes, she is full of charm as a young woman.

The big-headed boy said lazily: "This one is called Duan Li. He has a solid realm, but his strength is sparse and his combat experience is not very good. He didn't get much credit for this mission. In my opinion, let him fail!"

The young woman in purple shook her head, "Although there are many monks in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association now, 90% of them are just a mob, which is exactly when they are short of manpower. You also said that Duanli Realm is solid and has great potential. The so-called combat experience will be more in the future. It can be tempered after several battles. My suggestion is that if he passes the assessment, the star rating should be lower."

 Finally, the young woman in purple looked at Diaosou.

 “Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you mean?”

Diaosou stroked his beard and said, "I think the same as you, just give him three stars as a monster hunter!"

 Two to one, the minority obeys the majority.

 The big-headed boy curled his lips and didn't argue.

 Next, it’s Luo Chen.

It is certain that the other party has obtained the qualification of a four-star demon hunter, so there is no need to talk more.

 What they were discussing was Luo Chen’s methods revealed in this battle.

"This Qingyangzi's magic skills are exquisite, and the magic of the big hand seal is quite impressive even from the perspective of my ninth-level golden elixir. In particular, his domineering magic power is closely related to the true inheritance of Yuan Mo Sect's soul refining lineage. The magic power gained through cultivation is not inferior, or even better. Among casual cultivators, it is really rare to find people with such foundation." The young woman in purple praised her repeatedly.

Diaosou also nodded with emotion. He personally watched the battle.

 He also highly praised the several fire spells that Luo Chen cast, especially the domineering magic power, which could not even be blocked by the Ten Directions Shadowless Array for a moment.

 At least, when I was in the middle stage of Golden Core, my magic power could not reach this level.

The young woman in purple continued to look at the image, but her brows furrowed as she looked at it.

"This person is hiding a bit deep! The giant hammer magic weapon is unfamiliar to control, so it is clearly not his natal magic weapon. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner does not seem to be something that he can cultivate both life and life. Instead, this chain..."

Diaosou took over the conversation, "It's not a physical thing, it's just a derivation of mana. But when I look closely, it doesn't seem to be caused by magic. It may be a derivation of his natal magic weapon."

  It is just a method derived from the natal magic weapon, does it have such power?

The ghost that breaks the resentful soul is like a piece of paper, and it can't even launch the flying sword to resist the sneak attack. It even fuses the ghost at the last moment, which is comparable to the strange ghost king in the late stage of Jindan. It is locked and unable to move.

The young woman in purple blinked, becoming more and more curious about what this natal magic weapon named Qingyangzi was.

 She turned her head and said, "Bigan, why don't you speak?"

 The big-headed boy frowned, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, when he heard his companion asking, he said hesitantly: "Qingyangzi... I seem to have heard this name somewhere?"

Diaosou smiled and said, "There is a being with such ability, even if he is a casual cultivator, he is definitely not an unknown person. Maybe you have heard of his deeds on a certain day, month and year."

 “It wasn’t that long ago!” the big-headed boy said flatly.

 After pondering for a while, he suddenly spoke out.

"I think about it. No wonder I feel that this person is familiar. A few days ago, I got together with people in Shenyuan City and listened to them talking about the Nascent Soul War on Lengguang Island. In one of the battles between Jindan monks, there was a A casual cultivator named Qingyang Demon Lord participated."

 “Demon Lord Qingyang?”

 “Who is this?”

  Diaosou and the young woman in purple both made a sound of surprise.

 Soon, the big-headed boy shared the rumors he had heard with the two of them.

After learning the details, especially the fact that the Qingyang Demon Lord used his signature method, the Qingyang Mahamudra, to kill several people of the same level, they were amazed again and again.

“It seems that this Qingyangzi and the Qingyang Demon Lord may really be the same person.”

"However, even if they are the same person, they have little to do with us. Let's end this review. The follow-up matters... Since you, Diaosou, are supervising them, they will be handled by you."

 It’s natural to fish for old men, it’s just trivial matters anyway.

Now in the Demon Hunting Department, they are the only three eight-star demon hunters, and they usually take turns to deal with trivial matters.

 Now that it is his turn to be on duty, he naturally cannot refuse.

 …

 Three days are coming in a blink of an eye.

 This morning, Luo Chen arrived at the gate of the Demon Hunting Department early.

Unexpectedly, Duanli came earlier than him.

Luo Chen frowned when he saw the other person cowering in his coat, but didn't say much.

 After saying hello briefly, we went straight in.

Duanli followed behind, looking at Luo Chen's back, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

“In that battle, Qingyangzi was not affected by the white-clothed monk’s methods at all. Even the spirit of the strange ghost king was as frightening as the breeze blowing on his face.”

“I think he also has considerable attainments in soul refining.”

“I just don’t know if it can cure the poison in my body.”

"But if I ask the other party to help heal my wounds, I will definitely have no reservations. People's hearts are far apart from each other and I have a big hatred. I can't gamble!"

 Duanli is full of thoughts and hesitation.

　　When he woke up, he saw Diaosou chatting nicely with Luo Chen.

"This is an identity waistband, embellished with golden stars. We, the demon hunters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Society, are divided into nine stars. One to three stars are white, four to six are gold, and seven to nine are purple. Different colors represent different treatments enjoyed."

“In addition to the discounts you know about from the outside world, you can also rely on different star levels to enjoy the intelligence resources of the Monster Hunting Department.”

 “If you are interested, you can learn more about it later.”

 The Ten Thousand Immortals Association has many casual cultivators, which naturally represents a wide range of sources of information.

 This is an unexpected surprise.

Luo Chen received his identity badge and glanced down. There was a sea of ​​blood and a bright moon in the sky, with four golden stars surrounding it.

 Duanli is a bit lonely.

 His identity badge has only three white stars.

You must know that many foundation-building monks can reach this star level.

Diaosou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, this is just a temporary situation. If you want to improve your star rating, just accept more tasks."

Duanli smiled bitterly. His injuries were not healed yet, so he couldn't think about those things.

 The old man waved his sleeves regardless of what he was thinking.

 “Let’s go!”

“It’s rare that I’m free today, so I’ll personally take you to the Fulong Mountains to choose a suitable cave.”

 At this point, he looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

“The spirit stone should be ready!”

Luo Chen said calmly: "Master Diaosou, even if you are just leading the way, I can still bring out some spiritual stones."

This time, Duanli showed no signs of timidity and followed the two of them.

 …

 Over the Fulong Mountains.

Three rays of escaping light follow each other like shadows, coming and going vertically and horizontally.

 Diaosou held a map with a flickering aura in his hand. He led them to check out the cave and introduced relevant information.

 But it is obvious that the information he introduced is hidden.

 If you want to choose a suitable cave, you have to look at your own abilities.

“This high mountain is called Xiushan. It has extremely rich spiritual energy. Even among the third-level lower-grade caves, it is the best. Many Jindan monks have stayed there. You may consider it.”

 After listening to the introduction, Duanli was quite moved.

 He wanted it, but with Luo Chen in front, he still planned to wait until the other party made the choice.

Luo Chen shook his head and said, "Fellow Taoist, just do what you want, don't wait for me."

　　After a pause, he suddenly said: "However, if this place was really that good, I don't think it would have changed so many owners."

Duanli was stunned for a moment.

 It seems like this is the reason?

Diaosou frowned. Qingyangzi was quite a man, and he immediately saw the loopholes in his words.

"Since none of you want it, then change to another place! But I have something to say first. Although there are many ownerless caves left in the Fulong Mountains, most of them are first and second level, and there are not many third level caves."

“After passing through this village, there is no such shop.”

Luo Chen twitched the corners of his mouth and said nothing more.

 But he was laughing in his heart.

Logically speaking, this fishing old man also works for the three major groups of people. Why is he so concerned about gains and losses?

 Let them, casual cultivators, take advantage and suffer less losses, so what?

　　It’s really a part-time job, so much so that I have to put myself into it.

While shaking his head secretly in his heart, Luo Chen's consciousness continued to spread out, sweeping along the bright spots on the map in Diaosou's hand one by one.

There should be one or two caves suitable for him in this place.
