Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

"I will give you all these skills and military books, but I have a request."

Chu Chen's eyes fell on Liu Feng.

Liu Feng said hurriedly: "I will do my best to complete even if there are a hundred requests from the immortal master, not to mention one."

"It's not a big deal. When you dominate a place in the future and establish a sect, you can pass on the martial arts skills such as Langhuan Divine Art."

Chu Chen said in a deep voice.

Liu Feng bowed again: "I will remember the words of the immortal master."

When he stood up, there was no one in the cave.

...

Cave.

Chu Chen sat cross-legged, practicing the Soul Refining Technique to restore the lost mental power.

"The mental power is indeed infinitely useful. Just a rough use can achieve the effect of shocking the mind and arousing emotions."

After a long while, he opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He has been practicing the Soul Refining Technique for nearly sixty years. Three years ago, he broke through the third level of the Soul Refining Technique. His mental strength is 30% to 40% stronger than that of a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining at the same level.

After his mental strength became strong, he began to show extraordinary abilities.

Helping with alchemy and drawing talismans is only one aspect. It can also be used to influence others and even attack their souls.

Before that, he tried to use his mental power to arouse Liu Feng's emotions to achieve the purpose of asking his conscience, and the effect did not disappoint him.

"After a cultivator breaks through the foundation-building stage, his mental power increases greatly and condenses into divine thoughts. From then on, he has unimaginable magical powers."

Chu Chen recalled the records in the travel notes of the Jinhua Taoist and could not help but yearn for it.

Divine thoughts have various magical functions, such as controlling flying swords, exploring the world, and so on.

He has a feeling that if he continues to practice the Soul Refining Technique and cultivates it to the highest level, the fifth level, he may be able to condense divine thoughts before breaking through the foundation-building stage.

After breaking through the foundation-building stage in the future, divine thoughts will be stronger than cultivators at the same level.

"If I can refine the Nourishing Spirit Pill, it may increase my chances of concentrating my mind in advance, and my practice of the Spirit Refining Technique will be smoother."

Chu Chen was deep in thought, flipping through the Five Qi Pill Sutra in his mind.

There are many pills in the Five Qi Pill Sutra that can enhance the spiritual power of cultivators, and the Nourishing Spirit Pill is one of them.

The Nourishing Spirit Pill is not the best pill in the Five Qi Pill Sutra to enhance the spiritual power of Qi-refining cultivators, but compared with other pills, Chu Chen has an advantage in refining the Nourishing Spirit Pill.

All the herbs needed to refine the Nourishing Spirit Pill are available.

The ten-year spiritual medicine obtained from the Unborn Heavenly King, Tianyunzhi, is the main medicine for refining the Nourishing Spirit Pill.

However, Chu Chen was not in a hurry to refine the Nourishing Spirit Pill.

The difficulty of refining the Nourishing Spirit Pill is far greater than that of the Gathering Spirit Pill.

"Don't be impatient when refining the Nourishing Spirit Pill."

Chu Chen only has one Tianyunzhi in his hand, which means that he only has one chance.

Once the refining fails, there will be no chance to refine it again, so be very careful.

Up to now, he had only refined the Juling Pill, a kind of pill useful for Qi training cultivators. His experience was still insufficient and he needed more experience in alchemy.

He planned to refine other pills in the Five Qi Pill Sutra first to accumulate experience. When he had enough experience, he would try to refine the Yangshen Pill.

With his mind made up, he started to refine pills again.

"The world is rolling, and it heals people's hearts the most."

This time, Chu Chen did not enter a deep retreat like he did in the previous ten years. In order to avoid loneliness, he would occasionally go down the mountain to experience the world.

Or taste the worldly food, or visit the brothels, or retrieve spiritual stones and spiritual medicines.

Since the last time he retrieved the intelligence, Chu Chen left a message to Jinyiwei and Jianghu Baixiaosheng, asking them to do their best to collect medicinal materials and spiritual medicines that are more than a hundred years old.

As for the spiritual stones, they came from Wanyan Shilie.

After Wanyan Shilie became the Khan of the Barbarians, his speed in searching for spiritual stones increased greatly, and he searched for a lot of spiritual stones for Chu Chen. Chu Chen also gave Wanyan Shilie several bottles of Juling Pills.

Wanyan Shilie's status has changed. Chu Chen adjusted the relationship between himself and Wanyan Shilie in time. Now the two are more like partners.

Win-win cooperation is the long-term way.

Of course.

Because of the existence of the Seven-Erosion Poison Pill, Wanyan Shilie did not show any signs of being unfavorable to Chu Chen.

With the spirit stones provided by Wanyan Shilie, Chu Chen did not delay his own practice while refining pills in the Yunwu Mountains.

It is worth mentioning that when Chu Chen went down the mountain and returned to the cave, he would sometimes see Liu Feng looking for his traces everywhere.

"The fate of the world is over, why bother?"

But Chu Chen never showed up and met Liu Feng. Later, Liu Feng seemed to understand Chu Chen's thoughts and never appeared in the Yunwu Mountains again.

The twenty-seventh year of Xuande.

Chu Chen went to Qingyi Mansion and found that the old cultivator of the sixth level of Qi training had died.

He did not move to this spiritual land to practice. There was no lava fire in this spiritual land, and he could not refine pills. Anyway, there was support from spirit stones, so it didn't make much difference whether he moved to this spiritual land or not.

Therefore, he chose to bury the Holy Heart Relic in the spiritual land to absorb the spiritual energy of the spiritual land.

"This old monk has quite a lot of collections."

From this spiritual land, he found a lot of things left by the old monk.

Some elixirs that assist in cultivation, the effect is similar to the Gathering Spirit Pill.

A Qigong called "Thick Earth Gong", only nine levels left, not as good as the Longevity Gong.

A spell inheritance, spiritual power finger flick, fireball spell, etc., but Chu Chen has practiced these spells.

There is also a book about formations, Chu Chen took a look, and he doesn't plan to study it for the time being.

Among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, the four most famous are alchemy, formation, refining, and talismans.

Each one is extremely profound, and a cultivator may spend his entire life just wandering around the door.

Generally speaking, most cultivators will only choose one path to practice, or at most two of them. After all, even cultivators have limited energy.

If you study several paths at the same time, the final result will most likely be a lifetime of wasted effort.

Not only will you not achieve anything in alchemy, but you will also delay your own practice and die with regret.

Although Chu Chen has no such worries, all his energy is now focused on alchemy. The study of formations can only be left for the future, when he has free time.

The formation book has been obtained, and there will always be a chance to study it thoroughly in the long years.

"Continue to make alchemy."

Chu Chen put away the things and immersed himself in the great cause of alchemy again.

Alchemy and practice are extremely time-consuming and mentally consuming things. Unknowingly, ten years have passed quietly.

The thirty-seventh year of Xuande.

This year.

Dayan is still in chaos everywhere, and uprisings continue in various places. The court is no longer able to suppress them, and the people are living in dire straits.

The people under the command of the vassal kings such as Kangwang Mansion, Jinwang Mansion, and Beijiang are living better.

In ten years, Dayan has lost the support of the people and the country is on the verge of collapse.

The day of the change of dynasty is just around the corner.

This time, there is no outstanding person to help Dayan continue its national fortune for decades.

Emperor Xuande was obsessed with alchemy and couldn't extricate himself. After King Wu became the regent, he was diligent in government affairs, but Dayan was already in a state of dire straits and it was not something he could change alone.

Disheartened, King Wu gradually gave up and indulged in wine, sex and beauties.

The royal family's ancestor Yun still did not show up to save Dayan.

Of course.

Chu Chen didn't care about these things. He was more concerned about the arrival of March 11, the 37th year of Xuande.

This day was the 100th year since he came to this world.
