Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 747 Ling Bao Lan Ke, Illusion Demonstrates Power (6,000 words long chapter, small supplement!)

 After arriving in Zhongzhou, many things overturned some of Luo Chen's views.

For example, there are many powerful people on this continent, and there are many families.

There are many real Nascent Souls that were rarely seen in the past.

He convinced himself on the grounds that Zhongzhou gathered the essence of the mountains and seas.

But some high-level monks here made him often complain.

He obviously has the advanced realm of Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul, but no matter how he treats others or his temperament and demeanor, he is far from the level of high-level monks from other places outside Zhongzhou.

Childish!

These two words are Luo Chen's evaluation of some "young" high-level monks in Zhongzhou.

Later he gradually understood why this happened.

The monks in Zhongzhou have been in peace for a long time, and their minds are relatively free and indifferent. Even if they have disputes, they are often put on the square chessboard. Unlike him, Luo Chen, who was born with nothing to do with the breeze and the bright moon. His whole life was accompanied by swords, swords, and bloodshed.

These monks in Zhongzhou are just like the immortals in the novels. They practice freely without fighting or suffering.

But because of the lack of experience, these people have no realm but no corresponding magnanimity.

Luo Chen didn't know whether this mode of practice was good or bad for monks, but he couldn't experience it after all, because if he wanted to reach the top of this world, he had to go up step by step.

Of course, Luo Chen also knew that these noble geniuses from the Tianyuan Dao Sect were not without their merits.

They have outstanding qualifications, and they have been in the internal competition atmosphere of sect competition and family competition since childhood, so their character is not bad.

In addition, there is a profound level of foundation!

In the future, with a little tempering, the jade can bloom and show the true demeanor it deserves!

Luo Chen thought so.

Therefore, even if in his heart he disdained Fu Qinglan and other Nascent Soul cultivators to be equal to him as the real person, he never showed it on his face.

But!

That is based on the fact that the other party is really an unpolished jade.

Now, Luo Chen caught a glimpse of the pair of unconsciously intertwined fingers, and his brows furrowed.

To be so miserable just because of a look, is this kind of character really considered to be in the rough?

Is she really capable of shouldering the expectations of wealthy students and reviving a declining wealthy family?

What's more, does she have the qualifications to pry into the realm of divine transformation?

"That's all, after all, I am my employer, how can I be humiliated like this?"

Luo Chen sighed in his heart, moved his steps slightly, and stood in front of Fu Qinglan.

The tall body not only covered the woman's figure, but also blocked the teasing gaze cast from the opposite direction.

Fu Qinglan was startled and subconsciously raised her head.

Broad shoulders and thick back are like a mountain blocking the wind and rain.

She opened her mouth, feeling grateful in her heart.

But instantly.

Uh-huh!

Visible to the naked eye, a blush spread from Xin's long neck to her cheeks.

It was blushing, blushing with shame and anger.

Because of her cowardice, her friends who had been friends with her recently discovered her and even protected her, which caused her shame and anger.

However, this shame and anger did not last long. Luo Chen, who was good at sociability, quickly attracted her attention with his verbal guidance.

"Shi Ju? Could it be that he is one of the thirteen people participating in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heavenly Competition this time?"

"Yes. As we talked about before, among the thirteen people, three of the seats are occupied by children from rich families, Gu family Gu Yuan, Shi family Shi Ju, and Gu family Gu Daosu. Shi Ju is one of the three, and he is also the strongest among the three. . It is said that this time he entered the Mirage Dragon Cave without even a guardian, which shows that he is very confident."

"What do you know about him?"

"He is the person with the best qualifications and the strongest talent among our generation. It is even said that he should not be counted as our generation, but should be a younger generation, but because his cultivation speed is too fast, he has caught up. We were raised by a wealthy family since we were young, and after joining the Tianyuan Taoist Sect, we practiced the "Shangxuan Dongming Yanyan Sutra" among the seven great scriptures, and won the first place in three small competitions until the time of pregnancy. , worthy of being two hundred years old!”

"oh?"

When he heard that it only took two hundred years for the other party to conceive a baby, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

He had calculated carefully, and the time for giving birth to a baby was probably around two hundred years.

The reason why I was two hundred and sixteen years old when I left the Demon Sea was because I spent twenty years consolidating my realm.

Calculated in this way, it is quite the same as my own practice time!

"Could it be that he has Tianlinggen qualification?"

Perhaps due to the agitated emotions in his heart, Fu Qinglan, who was usually cold and calm, seemed to talk a bit too much at the moment, and he was constantly being told about this person's situation through his spiritual consciousness.

"The Tianling Root may be rare in other places, but it is not rare in our sect. At least among the thirteen people participating in the competition, there are seven Tianling Roots."

"With such qualifications, it seems that the cultivation speed is extremely fast. But if you don't want the barrier of Zifu to be too thin after Nascent Soul and delay the path of transformation, then you can't take too many pills to assist in cultivation before Nascent Soul. Therefore, their The cultivation time is actually not that long. It would take three hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul realm normally."

"What really makes Shiju so outstanding, in addition to his qualifications for the fire-related Heavenly Spiritual Root, is that he has an innate Nine-Yang Taoist body, which can rely on the refined sourceless fire to temper his own magic power, so that he can not delay his practice. "

Luo Chen raised his brows, and after listening to the woman's words, his eyes couldn't help but stare at the young man.

His clothes are as white as snow, he has practiced for the same amount of time, and even his physique is so similar!

The only difference is that his fire spirit body was obtained through artificial cultivation, while the other party's innate Nine Yang Tao body.

It seemed that because Luo Chen blocked Fu Qinglan's body, the man standing in the Taolin opposite could only focus on Luo Chen.

It was an unintentional move, but Shi Ju looked at it and felt inexplicably bored.

He gave the order without looking back.

"Go find Old Ghost Qi!"

The servant behind him was stunned for a moment, but he quickly responded and hurriedly left Taoyuan.

On Luo Chen's side, Fu Qinglan's words continued.

But as he got to the back, his tone became deeper and deeper.

"It is said that Shiju has a pure heart. No matter how long he practices, he will still be the same for a hundred years."

"But his innocent heart is not good, he is just straightforward and willful and does not follow the rules. He just wants to do what he wants to do and never cares about what others think."

"Among his peers, many people suffered a lot because of his so-called innocent heart. The main reason why Senior Brother Liu Yuan fled to Beihai was to train himself, but the secondary factor was Shi Ju's targeting and suppression."

"Not only Senior Brother Liu, but also other senior brothers usually don't like Shi Ju's style. But because of the respect of the ancestor of the sect and the blessing of the Shi family's status as a wealthy family, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak out."

Luo Chen shook his head secretly in his heart.

There is nothing innocent about this, he is clearly just a naughty brat!

If we were in the ordinary world, we would have been taught how to be a human being long ago.

But because in the world of immortality, the sect family's background and the blessing of personal power, the malice caused by the stubbornness was magnified a thousand times.

Master Long Yuan was not born with a masochistic constitution, so how could he abandon the favorable cultivation environment of his sect and go to Beihai to go through life and death?

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved.

"How does this person treat you?"

This time, Fu Qinglan was silent.

Luo Chen did not ask further questions, nor did he look directly at Shi Ju again.

It's better not to mess with this kind of naughty kid, he doesn't want to make a mess.

Therefore, Luo Chen turned his attention to other people in the field.

Today's visitors, except for the servants and low-level disciples of the Tianyuan Dao Sect, are mostly Yuanying Zhenren.

Luo Chen was not familiar with the origins of most of these real people.

However, with the introduction from Winter Mountain Man and Lu Qiuzhen, two masters of Yuanying who came to Zhongzhou first, he barely got a rough idea.

This is the patriarch of a certain family, that is the current head of a certain family, and there are also monks from other continents mixed in.

When it comes to monks from other continents, their identities are even more complicated.

The only people Lu Qiuzhen and the others knew were some of the older Nascent Soul Masters who came out of Tiandi Peak.

As for the rest?

"It must be a big force from another continent specially sent here to watch the ceremony!"

Watch a ceremony, watch what ceremony?

The gift of Alchemy Saint’s ascension!

At the same time, I took the opportunity to watch this Tianyuan Dao Sect’s 500-Year Competition, and what outstanding talents emerged!

According to the customs and clothing styles recorded in the classics, Luo Chen made a careful analysis and saw clues from some people.

Someone came from the Western Desert, not an eminent monk from the Xuankong Temple in the Holy Land, but several famous Buddhist forces. The shiny bald head stood out among the crowd, and he stood relatively close to the front. He seemed to be very interested in this master's game.

Someone also came from southern Xinjiang, but this person was quite mysterious. His whole body was shrouded in black robes. His true appearance could not be seen, and he could not distinguish between male and female. He stood behind the crowd. If it weren't for the fact that no one around him dared to approach him, it would be difficult for Luo Chen to associate him with the monks from Southern Xinjiang.

There is no one in the North Sea!

I don’t know whether it’s because I didn’t come to see the fun today, or because the Beihai soldiers were fierce and in danger. After Yuan Mo was destroyed, no one cared about the major events in Zhongzhou and didn’t send anyone here at all. In short, Luo Chen didn't see any other Beihai monks except the three of them.

On the other hand, in the Eastern Wilderness, amid the raging human-monster war, the Mingyuan Sect still sent a representative.

It was a very young monk wearing a robe with the emblem of the Mingyuan Sect. He was standing next to Shi Ju and others. The others were talking and laughing. Although he was also smiling, he was very reluctant.

It is understandable that the Alchemy Sage who is going to ascend was formerly a member of their Mingyuan Sect!

Now, who has to participate in her ascension ceremony as an alien monk, how can anyone feel so good?

Furthermore, Luo Chen felt that the smile on Shi Ju's face was so provocative and so gloating.

At this moment.

Daoyin, a celebrity in the field, spoke loudly.

"Senior Brother Ke is free today, and it is really a good fortune for Gu to start this game. Regardless of the outcome, Gu wants to borrow a rotten Ke chess piece for my brother from the clan. I would like to use the Gu family's treasured "Wuji Chess Record" In exchange, I hope Senior Brother Ke will fulfill my wish."

As soon as these words came out, the chaos in the venue suddenly became awe-inspiring.

The white-haired Ke Lianshan smiled, obviously showing his heart for the so-called "Unforgiven Chess Record".

"Black or white?"

Gu Daoyin said without thinking, "Black chess!"

"Okay!" Ke Lianshan smiled slightly, but changed the topic, "However, I have to see if your chess skills have improved first. Otherwise, if I come back disappointed, just a copy of "Wuqiang Chess" will not impress me."

Gu Daoyin breathed a sigh of relief, held a black chess piece in his hand, and gently dropped it.

"Brother, please!"

A simple conversation involved a barter.

But the impact it had on everyone present was quite huge.

If there is a torch, the color will change instantly.

The same is true for Luo Chen.

"Lanke chess piece, what is it?"

Fu Qinglan's expression had already changed. Faced with Luo Chen's inquiry, she immediately replied: "That is my sect's sect spirit treasure!"

The word "Ling Bao" was enough to explain the changes in the expressions of the cultivators in the field. But what really aroused the emotions of Shi Ju, Fu Qinglan and others was the role of Lan Ke Heiqi.

During Fu Qinglan's explanation, Luo Chen also learned more about the spiritual treasure named [Lan Ke].

This is not a spiritual treasure, but a set of spiritual treasures.

It consists of a chessboard, chess pieces, and a legendary endgame.

These three together form Lanke Lingbao, and each has a different role.

Rumor has it that the Lanke chessboard, in the hands of a powerful god, can suppress the secrets of a continent and prevent the secrets from leaking out.

The so-called chess pieces are divided into two colors: black and white. There are one hundred and eighty-one black chess pieces, and each one has the effect of protecting the soul. There are one hundred and eighty white chess pieces, each of which is a treasure for attack.

And the endgame is even more unpredictable.

Except for those who refine this treasure, if others fall into this situation, they will be unable to escape and will be trapped in it for life.

In fact, if you want to completely refine this treasure, you must solve this endgame.

Lanke Lingbao has been hanging in the Tianyuan Dao Sect for thousands of years. No one can refine it and identify its owner. At most, they can borrow the power of one or two chessboards.

It was not until seven hundred years ago that Ke Lianshan was born and showed his shocking talent in chess that Lingbao was shocked.

And he lived up to expectations. When he reached the realm of Nascent Soul, he took a new step in the end game. He was recognized by the Lanke Artifact Spirit and became the master of Lanke.

The name of chess master starts from here!

The reason that shocked Luo Chen was not the magic of this treasure, but the so-called black chess piece.

"Is the rotten Kehei chess piece I got back then also part of this spiritual treasure?"

"I don't think so. It's just a low-grade magic weapon. There is a huge difference between it and a spiritual treasure."

"According to the description of the effect, and even the difference between the black and white chess pieces, they are so similar. If there is no relationship at all, I will never believe it."

"In this case, what is the relationship between the Golden Elixir Sect Ghost Valley in the East Wasteland and the Tianyuan Dao Sect?"

For a moment, Luo Chen's mood was ups and downs, and all his thoughts were not on the game between the two.

…

"That's almost it."

As time passed in the afternoon, Luo Chen felt like leaving.

He is not good at chess and does not want to put his energy on deducing the chess game. Plus he has no intention of paying attention, so there is no point in staying here anymore.

And the purpose of this trip has been achieved.

Through Fu Qinglan's introduction, he roughly met the guardians of several contestants and got a preliminary impression.

As I kept making calculations in my mind, I already had some confidence.

If that's the case, then leave!

Seeing Luo Chen about to leave, Fu Qinglan hesitated and followed him.

Luo Chen looked at her calmly and said nothing.

He could see clearly that the other party was not thinking about the game today.

The fact that she didn't even care about Go, which she loved, showed how much pressure Shi Ju of the Shi family put on her.

The two of them walked out of the Taoyuan slowly and slowly. The surroundings were extremely quiet, no longer as lively as before with people coming and going.

Fu Qinglan seemed to dislike this quietness and took the initiative to find some topics.

"The Mirage Dragon Cave Heavenly Competition is related to the future opportunities for us and other Dao Sect true disciples to become gods. Therefore, the people who serve as guardians are often carefully selected from major families. Not only are they outstanding in strength, but they also know the basics. It is best to be loyal. "

"Therefore, servants trained by the family since childhood have become the best choice. For example, my good friend Xiao Lin Zi Lin Bufan is like this."

"Senior Brother Liu Yuan you were curious about before, he does not have this family background, nor the corresponding connections. But he got help from the master and apprentice lineage!"

"The master-disciple line has been in decline for a long time in our Tianyuan Dao Sect, and even the Yuanying monks have been deprived of the qualification to enter the Mirage Dragon Cave. This time, in the name of helping Senior Brother Liu Yuan, they sent out one of the most outstanding members of the contemporary era. Disciple Senior Sister Mingyan. This is also something that our major families are discussing. It’s hard to say whether Senior Sister Mingyan will support Senior Brother Liu Yuan or Senior Brother Liu Yuan will support Senior Sister Mingyan.”

"The Lanke Lingbao has a great reputation, but no one has been able to identify its owner and refine it before. However, the research on this treasure has never stopped, so many imitations have been produced."

"I see that Taoist brother was very concerned about this treasure just now. After I go back, I can make the decision to give you a replica of the magic weapon level."

…

Luo Chen stopped.

In a place where the mountains turn and the passing river roars.

Fu Qinglan looked at him puzzled.

Luo Chen looked calm and his eyes were gentle, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Fu Qinglan opened her mouth, her mouth was red and pouty, but it was a little trembling.

Then, there was a sigh.

"Brother Taoist has a keen eye, but my little sister can't hide anything."

"Ruju? Ruju?"

A calm sentence, but it hurts the heart.

Fu Qinglan lowered her head, her hair flying in the wind.

"This person has always had evil intentions towards me. He once said that he would let me enter Shi's family and be his concubine. Not only that, he also said that he would give me a servant to protect the Mirage Dragon Cave Heavenly Competition. He would even help me revitalize my wealthy family in the future. , even the name of the giant house is not bad. "

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "Since the conditions are so favorable, why are you harboring evil intentions? As far as I know, marriages between your aristocratic families are quite frequent!"

Fu Qinglan shook her head, "It's different. Marriage is about being a wife, but I used to be about being a concubine. And what Shi Ju said seems to me more like a joke, a joke to tease me!"

"oh?"

"He has a criminal record, and he used this to deceive a young lady from an aristocratic family during the Foundation Establishment period. That fellow sect member was still in the Golden Core realm at that time, quite outstanding, and was once expected to be a Nascent Soul. But after joining the Shi family, not only did his path stagnate , even the family behind it was annexed by the Shi family. "

"really?"

"Absolutely true!"

Luo Chen frowned, "With this approach, no one in the Dao Sect will question it?"

Fu Qinglan pursed her lips, stroking the hair hanging down to her mouth, with a depressed look on her face, "Everything is natural, even the same family was annexed voluntarily, who would question it?"

Luo Chen understood.

From this point of view, Ju Dang was really a genius who was spoiled by his sect and family at that time!

The monk promised, how could he regret it so easily.

Even if you don't mention contractual oaths, normal promises should be treated seriously.

The word "teasing" spoken by the woman in front of him was quite vivid.

Shi Ju was not coveting beauty at all, or perhaps not seeking the small family behind them, he just wanted to play with these women.

Nestled in this peaceful area where there is only internal fighting, apart from practicing, he is probably too bored to have fun like this!

Luo Chen thought so.

Fu Qinglan explained a few more words, such as that she was the hope of a rich family, so it was impossible for her to marry someone from another clan.

Luo Chen no longer wanted to listen to these commonplace words, but looked solemn.

"So, that's why there are people waiting for us."

Fu Qinglan was stunned.

The next moment, an old farmer with his hands in his pockets walked out from the corner of the mountain col.

His clothing was simple, with no silk or satin, only linen shoes, white leggings tucked into his shoes and socks, and a white towel on his head that spiritual farmers often used to wipe sweat.

The body is stooped and the expression is miserable.

Facing this person, Fu Qinglan blurted out.

"Old Qi!"

"Miss Qinglan is still so kind-hearted. Unlike others, she always sounds like a ghost."

Seeing Fu Qinglan, the old farmer nodded.

Then, he looked at Luo Chen, straightened his waist while speaking.

"Are you Miss Qinglan's protector? I would like to test your ability to see if you are qualified to protect her."

When his waist was straightened, gusts of strong wind roared, and his tall body instantly stood in front of him like a majestic city.

Without giving Luo Chen any chance to speak, he stepped forward and punched him.

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, Yuanying Zhenren? Or physical training?

Or, a combination of both?

If he was not mistaken, that fierce energy was quite similar to the powerful energy that could only be cultivated through orthodox physical training.

If such a powerful person were in the outside world, Luo Chen would be able to fight with all his heart. In fact, he has always wanted to try his wild beast body training method and the orthodox body training method to see which one is stronger.

But this is the Lanke Mountains!

The sect of Tianyuan Dao Sect is located!

As an outsider, he can't do anything easily.

If he took action, the rich family might not be able to protect him, and Tiandi Peak would probably not go out of his way to protect a mere foreign minister.

And the other party, being so decisive, must have no scruples in this regard.

That being the case…

Facing the punch coming from the air, Luo Chen did not dodge.

boom!

A shallow depression appeared on the ground.

It's so shallow. Not only can I see the subtle control of the opponent's strength, but I also know that the opponent is not using his full strength.

But Qi Xiongcheng was stunned.

Passed by?

How could this be?

He looked up and saw the white-robed Taoist in front of him with a calm face, surrounded by illusions as his magic power surged.

Those warm eyes became like a bottomless abyss at this moment, causing people to fall.

"this…"

While Qi Xiongcheng was stunned, his tenacious will instantly broke through the illusion.

When I opened my eyes again, where was the Taoist in front of me?

It's just a shadow left behind by one mana.

When he looked back, Luo Chen had drifted away, and Fu Qinglan followed closely behind him, but frequently looked back at him.

Qi Xiongcheng's right hand hung in the air, standing there in a daze.

"Illusion?"

"Then when did I get tricked?"

He was obviously standing there with his back straight, but for some reason, his waist seemed to be stooped again.
