Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 784: Luo Tian’s past events, and the realization of Ku Rong again

Gu insects spread from southern Xinjiang.

In the world of cultivating immortals, it can be said that people’s expression changes when they hear it, and they are frightened when they see it.

But this is only for casual practitioners who have little knowledge.

For people like Luo Chen, who have advanced realms and have extensive knowledge, they naturally understand that all things in the world are never divided into good and evil, only useful and useless.

At least, from what he learned, many Gu insects can play a good role in assisting normal monks in their cultivation.

For example, a first-level Gu insect called Moonlight Gu.

The grade is not high, but the effect is extremely magical. It can guide Qi and open pulses.

Some people who have spiritual roots but are born with blocked meridians can break through the constraints by refining this Gu and carry out normal Qi refining practice.

Even those who are born with smooth meridians will not hesitate to refine a moonlight Gu to assist them in refining their Qi if conditions permit.

Over in Zhongzhou, Tianyuan Daozong once purchased Moonlight Gu from Southern Xinjiang on a large scale. It was not until Southern Xinjiang became more and more closed that transactions in this area gradually stopped.

It can be said that the Moonlight Gu that was once widely circulated also takes a lot of credit for the large number of monks in Zhongzhou.

The moonlight Gu is just one of many strange Gus.

The Spiritual Rhinoceros Gu planted on Luo Chen and Sima Huiniang was also one of them, and its origin was even greater.

According to rumors, it is a simplified version of a fifth-level Gu that lives and dies together a long time ago!

That is an extreme Gu insect that can bind the powerful god-transformer and the Qi-refining monk together, and they can live and die together.

However, with the changes in the sea, the name of the "Live and Die Gu" gradually became less known, and the other transformation route of the Lingxi Gu once caused a great disturbance in the world of immortal cultivation in southern Xinjiang.

Third-level demon Gu, Demon Heart Gu!

There are crazy people who refine Demon Heart Gu in large quantities and plant them on low-level monks. Then when they mature, they use the magic of the Gu to devour their cultivation realm!

It was precisely because of this incident that the Demonic Heart Gu was completely suppressed, and the Lingxi Gu became increasingly rare.

At that time, Luo Chen was about to go on a "far trip". For fear of losing contact, he carefully checked the Lingxi Gu to make sure there was no problem before planting it for Sima Huiniang.

Facts have proved that Lingxi Gu's function of "connecting the mind with a clear mind" does indeed bring many benefits.

Whether it was the two years when Luo Chen was trapped in the Baiye Cave on the battlefield of Ji Lei Mountain, the three years of imprisonment at the Cangwu Mountain, or the hundreds of years of wandering in Beihai, all of which were due to the existence of Lingxi Gu, Sima Huiniang maintained enough confidence.

Waiting for his return!

Without that confidence, the Luo Tian Sect might have collapsed long ago. The few monks without the protection of the sect might be favored and absorbed by the larger sects because of their outstanding talents, but most of the mediocre ones are more likely to gradually disappear into the vast world of immortality.

Not everyone can be like Luo Chen, a wandering cultivator, and still get better at it.

Later, after Luo Chen's journey to the Demonic Land, his physical body reached nirvana, his Spiritual Rhythm Gu and all his magic power disappeared, Luo Chen was worried about Sima Huiniang's condition.

Therefore, I purchased a bunch of low-level Gu insects in the Wanxiang Building of Beihai Shenyuan City for research.

After going to Zhongzhou, after the Cave Heaven Competition, the Tianshan Master from southern Xinjiang also chatted with him, and he took the opportunity to ask about Lingxi Gu.

Regardless of personal research results or the evaluation of Gu Dao experts, there is no big problem with Lingxi Gu.

This is why Luo Chen previously thought that it would not be too troublesome to solve Sima Huiniang's injuries.

But now!

But something has changed!

Under Luo Chen's observation, the golden elixir condensed by the Lingxi Gu in Huiniang's body was like a living thing, connected to the heart and even the soul of the sea of ​​consciousness!

This is the reason why Luo Chen said the phrase "the mind is connected to the mind and the mind is connected to the spirit".

Because of these two involvements, Luo Chen did not dare to forcefully kill him.

Once it is wiped out, not to mention the broken heart, the soul will also die at the same time.

"No wonder Caiyi said before that Hui Niang's physical changes were caused by the absorption of her heart's blood by the Lingxi Gu. And the pain that even the golden elixir monks couldn't suppress was reduced after practicing "Mingshen Breaking Evil" Quite a few, obviously it has also enhanced the endurance of one’s own soul, so it can barely bear being swallowed by the soul.”

"But how did this happen?"

Luo Chen deliberately asked Chu Kui if there were any other hidden dangers when he gave these pair of Gu insects as gifts.

But this idea was dismissed as soon as it came up.

With Chu Kui as a person, if there was any hidden danger, he would have told it already.

And regardless of whether it was the previous two hundred years or his own research, Master Tianshan's opinion said that there was no problem with Lingxi Gu.

"Then the problem can only lie with Hui Niang and...me."

Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a drop of blood appeared on his fingertips for no apparent reason.

Lingxi Gu is refined with essence and blood, and uses the power of qi and blood that circulates daily as food. It will not affect the monk's daily practice except for the time of refining.

And his Luo Chen’s energy and blood…

On the fingertips, the blood was crystal clear, exuding extremely strong vitality.

Even if he didn't understand the changes in Qi and blood, this drop of Luo Chen's blood was no less than the blood that Wang Yuan had tempered thousands of times.

Lingxi Gu absorbs things like this and grows from the first level to the third level bit by bit.

"My blood..."

"Blood Nightmare Demon Luo once said that Yuan Tujian likes my blood very much."

"The Black King also said that he likes to rely on me because the strong energy and blood I exude makes him feel very comfortable."

"The Spiritual Rhinoceros Gu was soaked in my blood day and night, so that I got used to it, ignored it, and forgot how much it had grown. When I entered nirvana, the Spiritual Rhinoceros Gu was broken, but it still carried My magic power revived in Huiniang’s body and condensed into a golden elixir.”

"But the host at this moment is no longer me, who is physically strong, but replaced by the weak Hui Niang. That's why it will devour the heart and soul in order to continue to grow!"

Somehow, Luo Chen figured everything out.

As he murmured in his heart, his fingers fell on the lips of the sleeping woman next to him.

The drop of blood that was squeezed out immediately stained the pale thin lips.

Under the surveillance of his spiritual consciousness, within the Qi Sea, the Golden Core trembled slightly, but was restrained by the restrictions laid down by Luo Chen.

Luo Chen released the restraint at the right time, and then saw a force of magic that swept away the drop of blood.

Golden elixir, the blood color is darker!

The woman's beautiful eyebrows were completely stretched out!

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen opened his mouth and finally sighed.

"It was my negligence after all."

…

"Zhou Yuanli fell in Xiaoyue Mountains when the demon tide broke out."

"Bai Meiling's soul disappeared on the way to escape."

"Xing Zonghan forced himself to practice the "Miscellaneous Elements Technique" and became obsessed with it. His moral conduct was greatly damaged. During the retreat of the whole sect, he took the initiative to choose to cut off his family. He did not know whether he would live or die."

"The rice grains and their koji wine have been in the sect for ten years, and they eventually hated Jiuquan."

"Duan Feng and his wife, because they were good at identifying ores, were ordered to go there by Jin Ling, the Divine Sect of the Five Elements, during the support battle in Liangyi Xilin in the Wuji Domain. They fell there and left no heirs."

"Xu Huanzhen died on the Santuchuan battlefield."

"The supreme elder of the Luoyun Sect disappeared, the Xiaoyue Mountain Range was destroyed, and a large number of disciples died. In addition, in order to break through the Nascent Soul realm in the early years, Han Zhan occupied too many interests of the Luoyun Sect. Once the opening war failed, the Luoyun Sect internally changed. In order to seize power, the Luoyun Sect was divided into three factions. The leader's line, Han Zhan's grandson Han Zheng's line, and the great elder Cheng Yan's line who had been left behind in Tianguyuan fought against each other, resulting in casualties. Countless. Qin Yuanjiang, who belonged to the lineage of the leader, his Taoist companion Ruan Huan'er died in an internal fight, and his mother Murong Qinglian was seriously injured. Qin Yuanjiang was disheartened and took his mother to Luo Tianzong. "

"Murong Qinglian died in Luotian Sect."

…

The fallen leaves are flying and the wind is whining.

Luo Chen sat on the small stone platform outside Huiniang's cave, looking at the "Luo Tian Minutes" written by Luo Tianzong over the years.

This material was written when Luo Tianzong was still Luo Tianhui.

It has always been divided into three parts. One part is kept in the Sutra Pavilion, one part is carried by the contemporary sect leader, and one part is held by Luo Chen.

Luo Chen's share had stopped a hundred years ago.

What we are looking at now was sent by someone from Yao Mingyue.

On it, there is not much recorded information about what happened outside the sect, and most of it is about major changes within the Luotian Sect.

What Luo Chen focused on were the names that were both familiar and unfamiliar.

Since arriving at Baili Qingchuan, his consciousness has swept through the area and found the auras of many old acquaintances, but there are also more auras that are not there.

At this time, Luo Chen had actually been mentally prepared for what it would mean to not stay in the sect.

But when I really saw the contents of "Luo Tian Ji", I still tightened my mouth, gritted my teeth, and my eyebrows couldn't help beating.

He didn't know what he was feeling.

Pity? sad? Or painful?

Or is there still anger?

Angry at the invasion of monsters, angry at the conflict between various forces, angry at the Five Elements Divine Sect for not treating Luo Tian's disciples as human beings, angry at the Luoyun Sect's infighting that resulted in the death of a respected friend.

Even angry at his own inaction! A coercion, like the pressure before the birth of thunder, loomed over him.

Plop!

Xu Xiaoliu, who was responsible for delivering the books, was too close and couldn't bear the pressure and fell to his knees.

"well…"

The white-haired Xu Xiaoliu heard a sigh in his ears, and then he felt the pressure that was like the power of heaven dissipate.

He raised his head cautiously.

"Xiao Liuzi, you are still so naughty. They are all dead, but you are still alive."

Xu Xiaoliu was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Then I saw the young man laughing at himself and saying to himself: "That's right, only slick people like you and me can be as resilient as loaches and worms everywhere."

Xu Xiaoliu felt relieved and said in an old voice: "How can the Supreme Elder be the same as Xiao Liuzi? I am just a mayfly hanging on in the sea, but you are like the bright moon in the blue sky. No matter how rain or wind blows, you will not lose half of your color." ”

"You, at your age, are still as good at flattering as you were back then."

Luo Chen smiled and fired a burst of magic power.

He held the white-haired Xu Xiaoliu and sat on the stone chair opposite him.

Xu Xiaoliu put his hands on his knees and sat upright. The man opposite him was as young as before, and his attitude towards others was as fresh as spring breeze.

It seems like nothing has changed, and it seems like everything has changed.

However, no one has called him Xiaoliuzi for many years, and he actually feels particularly cordial.

"Xiao Liuzi, tell me about the current situation in the sect!"

"Um."

Perhaps because of Luo Chen's peaceful attitude, Xu Xiaoliu relaxed a lot and explained the current situation of Luo Tianzong.

"Our sect now has three hundred members, including more than two hundred Qi Refining monks and mortals, and about thirty foundation-building people. However, the number of Golden elixir monks is exceptionally large, with nine Golden elixir masters!"

"The nine golden elixirs are Sima Lao, Elder Fu Jiushang, Elder Chu Kui, Elder Gu Caiyi, Elder Min Longyu, Elder Li Yingzhang, Elder Yang Pingdu, and Elder Qin Yuanjiang."

Although Wang Yuan and Sha Longzi have golden elixir combat power, strictly speaking, they are not golden elixir monks.

They are body refiners.

but!

Luo Chen was curious, "Aren't there only eight of them?"

Xu Xiaoliu said a little unnaturally: "If you include Sima Wenjie, there are nine."

Luo Chen said oh and motioned for him to continue.

But he was sighing in his heart that he had done the right thing by deliberately keeping the "Miscellaneous Dust Yuan Shu" and asking Wang Yuan to develop a simplified version.

Without the all-encompassing "Mote Yuan Shu", how could the Little Luo Tian Sect give birth to so many golden elixir cultivators.

Among the nine people, Sima Huiniang needless to say.

Fu Jiusheng and Chu Kui formed the elixir in front, Gu Caiyi used the Mingyuan elixir he left behind to successfully break through, while Li Yingzhang used his accumulated experience.

Qin Yuanjiang inherited the legacy of Luoyun Sect and successfully formed an elixir, while Min Longyu got help from Qu Lingjun and relied on the formation to form an elixir by chance.

The only stranger is Yang Pingdu!

This man was the son of Yang Wenchang, the leader of the Wanxiang Sect who was assassinated by Fifth Qi during the opening war.

In order to leave a handle to restrain Fifth Qi, Luo Chen forcibly kept the members of Wanxiang Sect behind.

Later, Zong Jiulang, the senior brother of Wanxiang Sect, died on the battlefield of Tianguyuan.

Yang Pingdu became the leader of Wanxiang Sect.

After the demon tide broke out, in order to protect the sect, Yang Pingdu led a group of disciples to fully join the Luotian Sect and worked hard in many subsequent wars.

In order to reward him and unite people's hearts, Sima Huiniang gave the saved Mingyuan Pill to Yang Pingdu after she successfully formed the pill herself.

He succeeded!

Sima Wenjie also turned against him because of this incident!

He turned to others, got the help of Zhenren Yuanying, successfully formed the elixir, and then led outsiders to try to seize Luo Tianzong.

It was a confusing account that could not be calculated or understood clearly, and Xu Xiaoliu's nagging voice could be heard in his ears.

"Among the juniors, Qin Yuanjiang and Zeng Yilong are naturally the most competitive, but the others are not bad either."

"Mei Ruoqi, Yuan Yijun, Qu Jiu and others gradually emerged. Su'e is dead, but her disciple Su Wen inherited the medical inheritance. After Qu Lingjun left, Qi Yi took up the banner of Luotian Sect's alchemy, precisely because The many foundation-building elixirs he refined allowed our sect’s foundation-building true practitioners to emerge one after another..."

When Luo Chen heard the name Qi Yi, he looked thoughtful.

This is an alchemist he personally recruited in his early years, and he is also a disciple of the enemy!

Do you remember that at that time, was he recruited together with his senior brother or junior brother?

There is no doubt about his talent in alchemy.

But refining many foundation-building elixirs?

Could it be Emperor Liujian?

But he only passed on this elixir recipe to Qu Lingjun.

Could it be that Qu Lingjun secretly taught him this before he left?

If so, it would make sense.

In the battle between humans and monsters, the most indispensable thing is the corpse materials of various monsters. Using this to refine a large amount of imperial ooze can indeed keep the Luotian Sect's foundation building true cultivation flowing.

From this point of view, his only disciple is indeed committed to the sect and has considered all aspects.

"Needless to say, Sect Master Yao. After taking over as Sect Master, although he is not as powerful as the old Sect Master, he is still stable and has worked hard to maintain the foundation of Luo Tian Sect."

"The daughter born to Xiao Lao'er and Shi Lan is now studying with Sect Leader Yao."

At the end of the conversation, Xu Xiaoliu suddenly mentioned his daughter.

This thought...

Luo Chen glanced at him. He was a little embarrassed, but his face was calm.

Luo Chen didn't take it seriously, but asked curiously: "Shi Lan? Could it be that girl from Ice Castle?"

"Yes, exactly! At that time, there was chaos in the Jade Cauldron Territory, and something happened to the Ice Castle. I saved Shi Lan's life, and later she became a Taoist companion with me."

Speaking of this matter, Xu Xiaoliu was quite proud. It seemed that being able to get together with that woman was the proudest thing in his life.

But then, his tone dropped again.

"It's a pity that after Shi Lan left her daughter behind, she didn't say goodbye and went to look for her fellow Ice Castle disciples."

"What happened to the ice castle?"

"It's a long story. The Supreme Elder of Ice Castle failed to break through the Nascent Soul, and many strong men in the sect fell..."

Luo Chen listened to Xu Xiaoliu talking about the past, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now Luo Tianzong's affairs alone are enough for him to consider.

Those old stories about old friends in the Jade Cauldron Realm are really not a top priority, but we should know a little about them.

Xu Xiaoliu may have noticed Luo Chen's absent-mindedness and gradually dropped the topic.

"The seven former Jade Cauldron Sects, except for my Luo Tian Sect, have long been scattered and dead. If you hadn't returned in time, the Supreme Elder, I'm afraid Luo Tian's name would have been lost."

Luo Chen comforted him, and then calmly asked a new question.

"How long do you live?"

Xu Xiaoliu was startled, and subconsciously stroked his beard and said, "Xiao Liuzi has a lifespan of 247 years, and the end is approaching."

Then, he habitually flattered me.

"I have taken the matter of life and death lightly. Shi Lan and I were in love with each other. My bloodline remains in the world. I can even see your return before I die. I am willing to let Xiao Liuzi die next moment."

"You can't die now, I still have a mission for you."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said a few words when the other party was confused.

After listening, Xu Xiaoliu's eyes suddenly dazzled.

He clapped his hands and said excitedly: "I have taken over this task, and I will not let you down again!"

After Xu Xiaoliu left, Luo Chen closed "Luo Tian Ji".

Standing on the small stone flat, looking at the mountains and rivers of Baili Qingchuan, what I was thinking about was Luo Tianzong.

Thinking deeply, I couldn't help but murmur:

“Generation after generation grows old and dies, and those who remain in the end either continue to climb the peak or thrive.”

"Just like that small tree, when winter welcomes summer, it removes complexity and simplifies it, retains its branches, and eventually becomes a giant tree."

"The way of withering and prosperity cannot be like this!"

The wind stopped and the leaves fell, rustling in the forest, as if the mountains and rivers here were responding to him.
