Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 719 Huang Quan disappears, but Cang Wu is still there (please vote for me)

"You and I are both masters and servants. It's not that I can't trust you, but it's just a precaution."

"I have removed the source blood restriction, which will affect your normal practice. But I must plant the slave mark to prevent you from being manipulated at the critical moment and turning against me to stab me in the back."

 "Soul blood, hand it over!"

In a chariot covered by spiritual light, Luo Chen spoke slowly to the Black King who was huddled under his seat.

 His words are not without purpose.

Han Zhan’s lesson is right in front of him.

The Black King's innate magic trick, in addition to its own swallowing and digestion function, is similar to the power of his natal magic weapon Hunyuan Cauldron to capture the Nascent Soul. Even Luo Chen would suffer a big blow if he used it unexpectedly to attack from behind.

However, creatures like wild beasts, which control majestic power, have low intelligence and weak souls, and are extremely easy to be controlled by strong souls.

 The Black King is particularly disadvantaged in this regard.

Although his intelligence is not low, his training time is too short after all. Even if his realm soars, he cannot hone his soul through the years.

Unlike Luo Chen, even though his training years are short, his spiritual foundation has always been profound, and he has already made up for his shortcomings in this area.

Luo Chen didn't mention this before. He was busy practicing hard at that time, and the Black King had just broken through. Taking out the soul blood at that time would hinder his practice.

Now that he has left Longyuan Island and has to face the ups and downs of the world of immortality, Luo Chen still needs to prepare for a rainy day.

 The betrayal of those around you must never happen again!

 He looked at the hesitant Black King and did not urge him.

There is no doubt about the loyalty of the other party. The reason for hesitation is obviously that after handing over the soul blood, life and death are only determined by Luo Chen's thoughts, which is difficult for any living being to accept on his own initiative.

Ahead, Sang Jinghe was driving the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot, looking at his nose and mouth, as if he didn't pay attention to this side at all, but if you look closely, you can see that his body under his robe is also tense.

Tianxuan stood beside him, looking at the Black King anxiously and worriedly.

She wanted to speak, but in front of Luo Chen's calm aura, she couldn't speak at all.

Beside the chariot, a strong wind blew and white clouds drifted away.

After a long while, the Black King said angrily: "I would like to be my master's spiritual pet again!"

A drop of Yin Hong Essence blood slowly emerged from his Heavenly Spirit Cap, and there was a vaguely lifelike black-scaled dragon inside, with long beards and four legs tumbling and leaping.

 This is the soul blood of the Black King.

 Luo Chen collected it into the sea of ​​​​consciousness with satisfaction, and then placed his own Spirit-Serving Seal on the Black King.

From then on, with just one thought, the life and death of the Black King were in his hands.

Seeing the Black King lowering his head sadly, Luo Chen smiled and rubbed his cold head.

“Don’t worry, if Japan ascends one day, it will grant you freedom.”

"In addition, I can also make you a promise. When you are ready to break through the fifth level, I will return your soul blood to you and give you a complete soul body!"

 With these two promises, Black King Yanba's mood finally recovered somewhat.

Because of Luo Chen's smile, the atmosphere in the carriage became more relaxed, and Tianxuan was finally able to speak.

She glanced at the Black King first, and then said to Luo Chen: "Master, what about me? My slave seal has also been lifted in the Mingzhao Tiandan Palace, right..."

"Forget it. With your current strength, you won't be able to threaten me even if you are manipulated by others. You should practice hard and work for me down-to-earth!"

Luo Chen said with a smile.

Tianxuan said oh, but felt a little regretful.

 Because I am not strong enough, I am not even qualified to be the master’s spiritual pet!

Sang Jinghe, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Luo Chen didn't want Tianxuan's soul blood.

I was still laughing at myself in my heart: "What are you thinking about? With my real temperament, I can still tolerate a small Golden Elixir monk."

At this moment, an order came from my ears.

 “Change the direction!”

 He asked doubtfully: "Master, don't we go north?"

"Go to the southeast first, I have something to do." Luo Chen said calmly.

Sang Jinghe nodded and steered the chariot away from its original direction.

Luo Chen held a jade slip recording the geography of the North Sea in his hand, and his consciousness fell on an archipelago that resembled a flying swallow.

It was small and remote, but it was the place where he first came to Beihai.

 In his eyes, there was a conflicting emotion of expectation and disapproval.

 …

 The chariot went straight to the southeast without passing through human territory.

 But wherever he passed, he didn't see many powerful monsters blocking the way.

 There is certainly a reason why Luo Chen cast a breath-covering spell on the chariot, but it is also a fact that the number of monsters in the monster sea has decreased.

Facing this abnormal scene, there is a faint sense of depression that is about to come and hangs over everyone's heart.

On this day, the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot stopped over a sea area.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew out from it and went straight below.

 The huge body and the specious aura evoked the fear in the hearts of many demon clans at that moment.

There were sounds of panic rang out from the islands and beaches, but under the shocking roar of the dragon, all the noise fell into silence.

 Soon, the shadow came back again.

 Plop!

 A third-level demon king who was forced to shrink in size knelt on the chariot deck shivering.

 The salty seawater gurgled from his carapace, and he looked extremely frightened.

"Whatever my master asks, you answer it, do you hear me?"

The red rock crab trembled all over and subconsciously glanced up at the man sitting on the soft couch.

One glance made him fall into a dream.

“I remember that there used to be five royal clans of demon crabs in the Xuanyan Sea. Why, after my spiritual inspection, I found that only you, the Red Rock Crab clan, and other demon crabs were sparse in number?”

The Red Rock Crab Demon King murmured: "A hundred years ago, in the battle of Xuanyan, the five royal clans of demon crabs suffered heavy losses. The Hou Overlord Crab clan tried to unify Xuanyan, but Zhu Xiang, the leader of the demon spider crab clan, colluded with the outer sea demon clan to counterattack. During the civil war, the Overlord Crab clan was destroyed. The new leader, the Great Demon King with Golden Claws, also died in that battle. However, the Great Demon King with the Golden Claws broke out of the siege and escaped into the vast sea of ​​demons. "

“What about the remaining Blue Emperor Crabs, Demonic Spider Crabs, Nine-clawed Poison King Crabs, and you four tribes of Red Rock Crabs?”

The Red Rock Crab Demon King continued to answer: "They were recruited by the Demon Emperor to join the North Sea Demon Alliance and are attacking the hinterland of the human race. My strength is low, so I was left behind..."

This red rock crab is indeed not very strong, and looks like it is just beginning to advance to become a demon king.

Luo Chen frowned and said, "Yao Lian?"

“It is the Beihai Monster Clan coalition, led by the Great Sage Beili and Lord Haihuangjing. It is said that there are dozens of big clans and thousands of small clans. It is extremely powerful and has 90% of the strength to attack Yuan Mo Sect back then!”

Luo Chen took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with shock.

He has naturally heard of Beili Great Sage and Neptune Whale.

These are two famous ancient demons in the transformation stage of gods in Beihai!

At that time, they also rose up and led an army of hundreds of millions of monsters into the Arctic Yemo Sky.

Logically speaking, they should be trapped in Ye Motian. Why are they forming a demon alliance now?

 He wanted to ask for more information.

  For example, when did we break the blockade and escape from trouble, what is the current situation of the war?

But this little demon king lives in a corner, so how can he know these detailed inside stories?

 In the end, Luo Chen had no choice but to wave his hand and throw the confused demon king back into the sea.

 The Liuyu Feiyun Chariot continues to activate, and now it is Tianxuan who controls this flying magic weapon.

 She and Sang Jinghe used to switch gears along the way, saving effort while maintaining speed day and night.

On the chariot, the Black King's confused voice came.

“Master, won’t you kill them? These guys were chasing after us back then.”

“That’s because we hunted the family members first, how could you bite back?”

“Uh...Anyway, I feel uncomfortable seeing these guys wielding pincers. Their carapace is so hard that it makes my stomach hurt.”

"That's all, since there is no need for resources, why bother to commit more crimes? Speaking of which, you are all monsters, why are you so murderous towards your fellow humans?"

"Who is of the same clan as them! Demon is just a name used by immortal cultivators for all non-human beasts. In fact, we are not from the same family at all. But I, Lao Hei, what kind of race should I be now? Master, do you know?"

 “Haha, this is really difficult for me.”

 …

Luo Chen is really hard to judge what race the Black King belongs to now.

 His feet were originally black-scaled giant pythons wallowing in the mire.

 Later, someone used a secret method to overthrow the seedlings and encourage them to grow into black-scaled dragons. But the Black King at that time was actually not a dragon at all, but a python at best.

Even if it swallows the remains of the cliff snake later, it will not completely transform.

 After that, he absorbed the blood of millions of dragon earthworms, plus the essence and blood of Luo Chen, as well as the influence of the residual soul of the wild beast Stone Dragon. In this process, the demon clan’s sacred medicine, Emperor Oujian, which can assist demon beasts in digging deep bloodlines, is also constantly playing a role.

To this day, the race of the Black King cannot be guessed, whether it is blood or soul. Only from the appearance, we can see the appearance of Yinglong recorded in some classics.

 But unfortunately, he doesn’t have wings!

 Let’s just call it a dragon!

Luo Chen was too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters and hurriedly passed through the black rock sea.

This place once had high hopes for him and was almost considered as a candidate for promotion to the Nascent Soul stage. However, from the current perspective, it is very barren in spiritual energy.

 Especially the Xuanyan Island, which has not been managed well. A hundred years have passed, and the grade has not returned to the fourth level, but is still the third level.

 This sea may not be able to contain the Demon King within eighteen hundred years.

 …

The chariot continued to move forward, and wherever it passed, Luo Chen's spiritual consciousness quietly swept over it.

 The discovery is generally the same as what I remembered back then, but some islands are missing.

For example, there is a large island where human races gather, and there is a Jindan Sect on it. Now even the human island has disappeared.

 This is strange.

 Even if it was damaged by the battle, the old site should be left.

What's more, Luo Chen remembered that the fairy island was arranged with the island-connecting formation method passed down by the Canghai Alliance, so that ordinary monsters could not kill it.

However, this strange thing seems insignificant in another matter.

 That is the disappearance of Soul-Desolating Cliff!

Traveling eastward from Longyuan Island, covering thousands of miles along the way, Luo Chen cautiously approached the Huangquan sea area where the soul cliff where the memory was interrupted was located.

 But, there is nothing!

Yes, the sky is clear and the water is blue. There is no such thing as the turbid and soul-destroying horror scene there.

Even though we were flying along the periphery of the Demonic Sea and passing by, there was no sign of Soul-Desolating Cliff or Huangquan Sea.

 “Did you run away?”

 “Is that sea a living creature?”

This speculation came to mind for a while.

Luo Chen remembered that he used the skills taught by Han Zhan to divide the puppet where the soul lived. Before it died, a scene was vaguely transmitted back to him.

Endless yellow springs wash away the void.

 The sea is turbulent, and the sound of chewing enters the brain.

If you want to explain the strange disappearance of Huangquan Sea, the only answer may be that that sea is a living creature.

 …

  One month later.

The albatross hovers and the rosary trees dance.

Luo Chen quietly got off the chariot.

"You guys go to Feiyan Islands and wait for me. If nothing happens, I will come back later."

Tianxuan is a little confused. Is it this sea area where albatross hover?

I still remember that when I came back from Xuanyan Sea, my master seemed to have stopped here, and asked her to go to Feiyan Islands first to explore the reality.

 At that time, she was the master to prevent an ambush on the Feiyan Islands.

 But now, the master has become Master Yuanying, why do you still stop here?

However, once the master has given an order, there is no room for questioning.

 “Yes, Master!”

Watching the gorgeous chariot go away, Luo Chen took a deep breath and turned his attention to the few islands in the Xintian Sea.

 He did not emit his spiritual consciousness, but only relied on his memory to find the target.

Soon, he saw a familiar hill.

“Back then, I could pass this mountain without entering, but this time, I have to face it after all.”

Luo Chen waved his sleeves and robe and flew over slowly.

 At the foot of the mountain, hike up the mountain.

 Everywhere he passed, lush vines seemed to take the initiative to avoid it.

Soon, Luo Chen stood in front of a cave that was densely covered by natural vegetation with great anxiety.

 “Come in!”

Luo Chen opened the vines and entered the darkness.

 …

In front of a simple magic circle, Luo Chen pursed his lips.

His hand brushed over a corner of the formation pattern, and a faint tremor could be seen.

 It’s been fixed!

 This formation has been repaired!

He remembered very clearly that he came to Beihai through the Cangwu Mountain Teleportation Formation. After waking up, he cut off a corner of this formation to prevent being chased by the Cangwu Mountain Demon Cultivator.

At this moment, the lines of the ancient formation were so new that not even a trace of dust was stained on them.

 Obviously, it will take a short time to repair this formation, at most twenty or thirty years.

Who is it?

Demon Emperor Qingshuang, or Deputy Palace Master Youquan of Duzhen Palace?

　　Or, that person…

　A certain name is swirling in my mind, but it seems like a taboo.

The reasons that prompted Luo Chen to come here were not only the homesickness of returning to his hometown in Donghuang, but also the grudges between Demon Lord Liantian and Yuanjun Qixia in the Land of the Fallen Demon.

 He, as well as the Qixia Kung Fu, also received the Heaven Refining inheritance.

 So, he wanted to see how the formation going directly to Cangwu Mountain was doing. If Cangwu Mountain is destroyed by the attack of the Mingyuan Sect's God Transformation Power, there will naturally be no spare power to repair this teleportation array. Then when he returns to the Eastern Wasteland, there will be fewer hidden dangers. If it was repaired, then he would have to face the fact that he had made elixirs for the demon clan, and there was a risk of being thrown out by them.

 The moment he saw it being repaired, the conflicting emotions in Luo Chen's heart completely dissipated.

It's like accepting your fate.

 The formation has been repaired, which means that Cangwu Mountain is still there, and there is even enough energy to travel thousands of miles to Beihai to repair the teleportation array.

They didn't even bother to move the teleportation array, and were not afraid of themselves as an insider.

 “There are some things that it’s useless to just escape from, you have to face them eventually.”

Luo Chen’s eyes flickered, and the turbulent emotions in his heart gradually calmed down.

"Han Zhan is dead. Except for those monsters from Cangwu Mountain, no one knows what I did in Cangwu Mountain. All the strong men of the human race died under the influence of the Nirvana Holy Fire."

"Now that I have given birth to a baby, as long as I insist that I die without doing those things, no one should question me except consecrating the sacred place."

“If the Mingyuan Sect pursues the case, I also have the alchemy skills at hand that can refine fifth-level divine elixirs, so I can try to bargain.”

 “Donghuang, I must go back!”

“It’s just that this teleportation array cannot sit still.”

Luo Chen shook his head, turned around and left.

If he doesn't sit in this teleportation formation, firstly, he doesn't dare to sit, and secondly, because he doesn't have Qingluan Feather to protect him, he can't actively activate this formation.

 At this moment, Luo Chen's heart suddenly moved.

 He subconsciously touched his lower abdomen.

 In the Zi Mansion, the withering fire spirit is eager to try.

Luo Chen was surprised, "Can you activate this formation?"

Soon, he realized the key.

Kurong Zhenhuo once devoured a little Nirvana Holy Fire, even if it was just a little bit, it also made him slightly embossed.

The Qingshuang Demon Emperor may be able to build a super large teleportation array by relying on the laws of space, but she definitely does not have the financial resources or the demand. Her main purpose of setting up this array should be for Qixia Yuanjun to use.

Qixia Yuanjun, who masters the Holy Fire of Nirvana, may also be one of the keys to activating this teleportation array.

 That’s why my own withering fire spirit has that sense of echo.

“That’s all, there’s no need for this formation, I can go back to Donghuang in another way.”

Luo Chen shook his head and walked out of the cave.

Without causing any further damage, Luo Chen left the Xintian Sea Area as usual.

 There is no need to retrace your steps.

 Having achieved Nascent Soul, he has the confidence to walk a path to heaven!
