Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Xiaoqiongshan.

One of the fourth-level spiritual mountains in Shenyuan City.

Even though it was only a small fourth-level spiritual vein, under the skilled craftsmen of the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance, hundreds of caves were opened, which could accommodate many monks practicing at the same time.

In comparison, the Fulong Mountain Range of the Ten Thousand Immortals Society is vast, but its utilization of spiritual veins is too rough.

In the spacious cave, Luo Chen walked out of the quiet room with a satisfied look on his face.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is quite high, which is very suitable for his current state of practice.

He didn't ask about the rent, and he knew that the rent for a cave of this level must be sky-high, or even something that Hualingshi could rent.

Need a relationship!

It was also because he had reached a cooperative relationship with Fu Chaosheng that the other party allowed him to use it for free for a period of time.

After all, every time Luo Chen's cultivation level increases, he becomes more certain about the granddaughter who will protect him in the future.

Fu Hongzhang was waiting quietly in the living room. Seeing Luo Chen's satisfied smile, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"What do you think, real person?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and nodded.

"Excuse me, you not only collected resources for me, but also arranged such a comfortable training environment."

Fu Hongzhang hurriedly waved his hand, "We will definitely do our best to do what the head of the family has told us. The real person may have other needs, so you might as well tell them, and I will try my best to meet them."

Speaking of this, he said quite confidently: "Although this junior is not very capable, he has been involved in the business affairs of the business alliance all year round, and has been involved in everything big and small. The family master said in the biography that a real person has something to ask for, and I must do what I can. Satisfied within the scope.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, Fu Chaosheng had indeed spent a lot of money!

Not only did he order people to prepare a batch of resources he needed before his arrival, but he also put the family monks at his disposal.

Thinking of this, he pondered for a while.

Suddenly asked: "I don't know, do you know the current trends of the three major members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Society?"

Fu Hongzhang was stunned. He originally thought that the other party would be curious about the high-level monks of Shenyuan City or the situation in Zhongzhou, and he was already ready to give a rough response.

Unexpectedly, the other party was more interested in the three major Beihai Sanren.

But then, he changed his mind and thought that it was natural for this man who called himself "Desolate Man" to be interested in his senior who was also known as "Sanren" and had become famous earlier.

Fu Hongzhang thought for a moment and slowly told him the information he knew.

"Crazy Sanren, originally called Fengling Jushi, has been cultivating in Fengling Temple for a long time. But later Fengling Temple was occupied by Yuan Mo Sect, and he became a homeless casual cultivator. It was also at this time that Feng Lingguan The name of Sanren gradually became known. After his trip to the Sunken Sea, he became crazy. Feng Sanren has been wandering around the North Sea for many years, and the dragon has never seen him. The information is too trivial. If you want to understand it in detail, I can arrange for someone to send you a summary file later. "

Luo Chen hummed, noncommittal.

He was not very interested in this great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage who had only heard his name but had never seen his true appearance.

His real purpose is the other two Sanren!

"Yue Sanren..." Fu Hongzhang hesitated when he mentioned that woman.

Luo Chen blinked, "What's wrong with her? I heard that Ten Thousand Immortals will fall apart under the attack of the monster beast coalition. What's the current situation of Yuesan people?"

Fu Hongzhang hesitated: "That senior's situation is a bit difficult to judge."

"oh?"

"Before the Demon Alliance attack, she visited Shenyuan City once and borrowed a cross-sea teleportation array. Later, she returned hastily and led the Ten Thousand Immortals Association to resist the Demon Alliance army. According to our intelligence, that Zhanyue Sanren was revealed With her astonishing late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, she was able to overwhelm seven Nascent Soul demon cultivators with one person. She even offered a treasure map to defeat all the demonic beast alliances, but at the critical moment, she retreated, regardless of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. , escaped alone and was never seen again.”

Luo Chen listened carefully and kept thinking in his mind.

The Yue San people took advantage of the teleportation array to hunt down themselves.

As the star-chasing beast and his own soul-splitting puppet died at the Soul-Breaking Cliff at the same time, Yue Sanren lost track of himself and had no choice but to return without success.

Needless to say, the other party's cultivation level was already exposed in the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, she was the weakest among the three major Sanren, but she suddenly became a person on the same level as the crazy Sanren, with a clearer mind and more stable strength.

With her strength, combined with the manpower and material resources of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, as long as the invading enemies do not have the Demon Emperor in the late Nascent Soul stage, the Ten Thousand Immortals Association can always be saved.

According to the intelligence, she did almost turn the tide and help the building to collapse.

However, the bad thing lies in the word "almost".

"Why are you retreating?" Luo Chen asked in a deep voice.

Fu Hongzhang shook his head and said, "I don't know. Some people say that the ancient demon in the transformation stage personally took action, while others said that it was backlashed by the treasure map that may be a spiritual treasure. A more reliable guess is that it was the wild beast ghost. The appearance of Xianlou shocked her. But in short, she has completely disappeared now, and no one knows where she went. "

Luo Chen kept thinking about these three possibilities, and first ruled out the ancient demon who transformed into a god.

As we all know, the Demon Alliance only dispatched one ancient demon in the form of a god - the Sea Emperor Whale.

And this monster, as soon as it was born, faced off against the powerful human race Li Canghai, so it had no time to deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

And in front of the two points of Lingbao Backlash and Desolate Beast Ghost Immortal Tower, he is more inclined to the latter.

Without him!

In fact, in the world of immortal cultivation in Beihai today, the reputation of the Ghost Immortal Tower is astronomical!

Wherever it goes, almost no one can rival it.

A large part of the reason for the two forces of good and evil to join forces is to draw out the great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage to target this beast.

But it doesn't matter if she disappears, at least before she leaves Beihai, she doesn't have to be too wary of this woman.

However, Fu Hongzhang's next words made Luo Chen relax and his face changed slightly.

"Speaking of it, the three great Loose Cultivators of Beihai who were once very prosperous were crazy, dead, and missing, and they all went to the Sea of ​​Sinking. Sure enough, that sea area was called the Ominous Sea. Makes sense.”

"Who died?"

Luo Chen blurted out, his eyes full of shock.

He can figure out the crazy ones and the missing ones.

Could it be that the dead person was a Xue Sanren?

But……

"Xue San people!" Fu Hongzhang spread his hands, "I just got the news not long ago. The battle between Xue San people and Blood Nightmare Demon Luo turned the Wanli Cold Light Islands into a human purgatory, and all living creatures were wiped out. It was really too extinct. Human nature. It is said that after that battle, a huge sea of ​​blood spread over thousands of miles, and there were even wild roars of unknown meaning coming from within it, and there were even signs that the sea of ​​blood was spreading outwards. Li Daneng of the Canghai Zhengdao Alliance was provoked, and he personally took action to solve the disaster of the blood sea. The price was that the Lengguang Islands, which once had a fourth-level spiritual heritage, completely became a land of extraordinary spirits. "

Luo Chen had difficulty digesting the news.

He said softly: "No matter how strong the Nascent Soul cultivator is, how can he affect the area of ​​thousands of miles?"

The destructive power of Nascent Soul cultivators is indeed terrifying, as Luo Chen himself has experienced.

But that was in the case of "mobile warfare", which was constantly moving and venting the aftermath of the war, thus affecting the celestial phenomena and landforms.

But according to what Fu Hongzhang said, after the Battle of Two Bloods, a sea of ​​blood emerged. This sea of ​​blood seemed to have vitality and invaded outwards.

Fu Hongzhang thought for a while and said: "According to the family master's guess, Blood Nightmare Demon Luo may have entrusted the power of the Blood Sea Ancestor of the Yuan Demon Sect. During the battle, that power went out of control, which caused the situation to get out of control. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible." I can’t explain why Li Daneng personally took action to clean up the mess.”

God-level power can only be solved by the power of God!

Luo Chen fell into silence.

A generation of famous Xue San people fell like this?

And is the Blood Nightmare Demon Luo, who had a grudge against him and whom he only collected a little interest from, really dead?

Do they have the power of the Blood Sea Ancestor? Then when he retreated, the huge shadow he saw under the sea was the manifestation of that power?

No one gave him accurate answers to these questions.

The intelligence of the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance was limited to the once glorious Lengguang Island, which has now become a truly "unparalleled place".

There is no spiritual vein, no spiritual energy, even the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth will avoid that place.

Because of his silence, Fu Hongzhang did not dare to say anything more.

The living room fell into unspeakable silence.

It wasn't until Tianxuan's arrival that this range was broken.

"Master, we have already counted them all. Basically, they are all the things you requested in your list. The specific price, according to Taoist Fellow Fu's mark, is a total of 30 million low-grade spiritual stones."

Thirty million?

Luo Chen looked up at Fu Hongzhang.

The other party smiled and said: "This is just the first batch. Because the amount of medicinal materials you want, Zhenren, is too much, we can only raise so much in a short time. But don't worry, our Tianyuan Merchant Alliance has been operating in Beihai for many years, and our business covers five continents. Through channels, follow-up medicinal materials can be completely collected soon.”

Luo Chen nodded, "Thank you."

It’s so easy to have big forces help you with things!

To refine the Hongyuan Pill required for cultivation and the Great Soul Pill needed for soul refining, hundreds of types of medicinal materials are required, and the required quantities are even greater.

It would take at least a hundred years for Luo Chen to completely collect it by himself.

He was fed up with the days of delaying his practice and running around just to collect medicinal materials.

Luo Chen even thought about handing over some of the materials for refining the Liquid Condensation Pill and the New Infant Formation Pill to the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance to help collect them later.

Otherwise, once the cooperation between himself and Fu Chaosheng ends, there will be no such channel.

The Tianyuan Merchant Alliance is so powerful that it does not give such preferential treatment to ordinary Nascent Soul Masters.

"By the way, Master, there is another thing here that is not on your list."

Luo Chen raised his eyes and saw that Tianxuan was holding a bone plate and two small jars, one black and one white.

"This is it?" Luo Chen looked at Fu Hongzhang.

The opponent perked up and introduced: "This is a set of Go. The chessboard is made of the leg bones of third-order monster beasts, as is the chess jar. The black and white chess pieces are made of second-order fluorescent shells, a specialty of the North Sea. Although it is not as good as the famous chess sets of our Zhongzhou Tianyuan Dao Sect, it is still precious, especially the local style of Beihai. This is a private gift from the family owner and is not included in the transaction, so the real person does not need to pay the spirit stone. "

"So, thank you very much."

After Fu Hongzhang left, Luo Chen took out two jade-like shell chess pieces, one black and one white, from the chess jar and rubbed them carefully with a thoughtful look on his face.

Rumor has it that Go is a very popular skill in Zhongzhou.

Almost all the disciples of Tianyuan Dao Sect can play a game or two of chess.

The people from Fuchao Life gave me this gift. I think they wanted to familiarize themselves with the customs of Zhongzhou in advance, so that it would be convenient for their subsequent trip to Zhongzhou?

Luo Chen became somewhat interested when his eyes fell on the vertical or horizontal lines on the chessboard.

Before crossing over, human technology had already developed the so-called "artificial intelligence". Luo Chen did not know which industries it had been invested in.

But as a bystander, he also knew about the battle between Go players and artificial intelligence.

Before that, Go was called the intellectual game of the highest level of human intelligence. This sport is not only a game, but also a manifestation of wisdom and strategy.

But after several top players and artificial intelligence lost in succession, the scientific community has announced that this sport has been completely conquered by artificial intelligence.

The wisdom of the immortal cultivators is naturally incomparable to that of the humans before he crossed over.

The huge soul foundation alone and the infinite amount of calculations between the flow of consciousness are enough to make mortals pale in comparison.

In this case, what kind of scenery would the competition between high-level cultivators around the sport of Go be?

A battle between humanoid computers?

Luo Chen smiled and put the chess pieces back into the jar.

For these things, just dabble in them, and there is no need to spend too much thought on them.

He has no interest in becoming a chess saint.

On the contrary, now that all kinds of medicinal materials have been delivered to the door, I should also refine the corresponding elixir, not only to resume my practice, but also to experiment with the help of elixirs, how much my practice speed in the Nascent Soul stage will be improved.

In addition, the soul that was finally separated after the formation of the Nascent Soul is currently only at the late Jindan level. He also needs to refine the Great Soul Pill to improve the strength of the soul and raise it to the Nascent Soul level as soon as possible.

He did not put away the chessboard and chess pieces, but put them on the table in the living room.

In my spare time, I can learn by myself without spending much time, which is also a pastime.

Just before entering the alchemy room, Luo Chen couldn't help but take another look at the chessboard on the table.

I vaguely remember that the poem at the entrance of Ming Zhaotian seems to be about Go.

Does Liantian Demon Lord also like to play chess?

...

Luo Chen is waiting.

Waiting for Fu Chaosheng to come back.

The other party is the Great Elder of the Beihai Tianyuan Merchant Alliance, and his term of 200 years is about to expire. In addition, Fu Chaosheng is old, and he is ready to resign and return home.

After he has dealt with all matters in the North Sea, he will come to Shenyuan City and go to Zhongzhou with Luo Chen.

At the same time, Luo Chen was also waiting for Black King.

When he stepped onto the Giant Whale Port, Black King quietly hid and swam to the old site of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

Luo Chen asked Black King to see if he could find out the whereabouts of some old friends.

The Fulong Mountains have been occupied by monsters, so it would be troublesome for Luo Chen to go, and it would be more appropriate for Black King to go.

During the waiting time, Luo Chen was not idle.

After forming an infant, many things need to be replanned, and there are so many things to do that it is difficult to start.

But along the way, Luo Chen has gradually sorted out the plan and prioritized it.

The life method is the top priority, but it is not the first thing to solve, because the Great Perfection of the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" is still available. Even if you want to create your own method, it will not be a matter of a day or a night.

The same is true for body refining.

So, he put the first thing on the matter of elixir.

He had studied the two recipes of Hongyuan Pill and Dahun Pill for a while, and thought he had memorized them.

In addition, he had experience in refining the fifth-level divine pill Yanfa Pill in the pill world. Even though he had not yet been promoted to a fifth-level alchemist, it was not difficult for him to make fourth-level pills.

While processing the medicinal materials, Luo Chen began to try to practice.

In his spare time, he guided Sang Jinghe's practice.

The other party had not been in the pill formation for a long time, but he accompanied him everywhere and personally handled some trivial matters for him. Luo Chen could not treat him harshly.

Tianxuan's practice had already been on the right track, so Luo Chen did not need to worry about it.

Therefore, Tianxuan's main task recently was to hand over to Fu Hongzhang and seek some resources that Luo Chen needed through him.

For example, the practice manuals on puppetry.

Puppetry is a minor path, troublesome, and costly. It is far less convenient than enslaving monsters or making connections and hiring thugs. Therefore, it has never been mainstream in the world of immortal cultivation.

The difficulty of searching for the manuals of this aspect of cultivation is no less than that of the fourth-level cultivation.

Luo Chen handed these matters to Tian Xuan and Fu Hongzhang, while he himself stayed at home and practiced in the cave of Xiaoqiong Mountain.

In the huge Shenyuan City, there was an extra Yuanying Zhenren, and for a while it seemed that no one knew about it.

But it was not true that no one knew about it.

Fu Hongzhang's recent frequent actions attracted the attention of some interested people in the Tianyuan Business Alliance.

In the white tower.

Shen Wandou, the elder of the Beihai Tianyuan Business Alliance, listened to the report of the cultivators below, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

At the end, the cultivator concluded:

"Elder Fu should be nearing the end of his term, so he sent the family cultivators to collect a large number of resources in the North Sea and prepare to bring them back to Zhongzhou!"

In response, Shen Wandou shook his head.

"Although his Fu family has a long history, it has never been prosperous. Most of the family members serve as deacons in the sect and have little experience in alchemy. Those various medicinal materials are obviously not prepared for his family."

The subordinate hesitated and said, "I heard that Elder Fu's granddaughter Fu Qinglan, who was born at the age of 300, is a genius among the younger generation. Perhaps these resources are prepared for her!"

Shen Wandou sneered.

"The real geniuses of our sect, except when they break through the realm, have always disdained to frequently use elixirs to assist in their practice. Fu Chaosheng cannot be so unwise as to ruin his granddaughter's lifelong path for the sake of a momentary pleasure."

"This..." The subordinate was confused.

Shen Wandou put away his sneer and thought carefully.

If Fu Chaosheng wanted to take a batch of resources back for trading before leaving and make the last extra money, it was not impossible.

But the resources he learned about were extremely diverse, but the grade was not high, and except for a few types, they were not rare. Even considering the price difference between Beihai and Zhongzhou, he could not make much money.

Obviously, this batch of resources was not for his own use.

But moving to Xiaoqiong Mountain on such a large scale...

"Go check the recent entry and exit of Xiaoqiong Mountain to see if there are any strangers, especially the fourth-level cave."

...

"Is this the Great Soul Pill?"

In the alchemy room, Luo Chen held a dark pill with surprise in his eyes.

Especially in the depths of his soul, his soul sent an instinctive desire.

Like, hungry?

It took two months, and he finally used soul essence as the main material to refine the fourth-level pill in the inheritance of the Alchemy of the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven, which can improve the Nascent Soul cultivators - the Great Soul Pill!

When the pill was completed, a strange phenomenon appeared!

At that time, in the alchemy room, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and complaints were everywhere, as if countless wronged dead souls burst out at that moment.

There was only one reason for this situation, and it must be the main material soul essence!

But the method of making soul essence passed down by the Yuan Mo Sect has clearly driven away the remnants of the dead souls, and what is left is the extremely pure soul energy.

The soul essence he extracted from Duan Li that year was like this, with only a few remnants of the Yuan Mo remnants.

It is normal to have remnants of Yuan Mo Sect disciples, after all, that soul essence has been refined by someone.

It belongs to someone.

But the batch of soul essences he got in his hands now are unrefined raw materials, and there should not be remnants of living souls.

Now it seems that the Yuan Mo Sect still has a trick up its sleeve!

The vassal under his command can't completely eliminate the remnants of the dead souls.

In this case, it would be strange if the old monster of the underworld fire fed his own original underworld fire with such soul essence to give birth to spiritual wisdom without being backfired.

He was lucky. The recipe said that a special alchemy technique was needed to deal with the residual thoughts in the soul essence. He found the alchemy technique in the 72 volumes of the alchemy book. After studying it for a while, he could refine the Great Soul Pill without any side effects.

"Soul-pulling technique, such a wonderful magic, is it also considered an alchemy technique?"

Luo Chen sighed and licked his dry lips subconsciously.

He was a little impatient and wanted to try the Great Soul Pill.

It's better to do it now than to wait for a day!

Luo Chen left the alchemy room, took a bath and washed up, and then took the Great Soul Pill into the practice room.

Not long after, Shen Wandou came alone outside Xiaoqiong Mountain.

Looking at the misty Xiaoqiong Mountain, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Fu Qinglan has just had a baby, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't be greedy to participate in the 500-year competition. But the Fu family has been in decline for a long time, and the reputation of the family is shaky. It's hard to guarantee that Fu Chaosheng doesn't have that idea."

"If he can find strong external aid to protect Fu Qingqing in the practice of Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, maybe there will be a chance."

"Liu Yuan is the person I like. Although his qualifications are not excellent, his character is extremely tenacious. He has the intention to promote the Liu family to a family of nobles, and there is no one in my Shen family who is suitable to enter the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven. If I help him succeed, I will not only have a good relationship, but also ensure that the Shen family will not fall in the Dao Sect for a thousand years."

"This time, I want to explore the bottom of this Huang Sanren for Liu Yuan!"

He made up his mind and moved forward.

Everywhere he passed, the monks of Xiaoqiong Mountain respectfully called him "Grand Elder".

He looked at her coldly, and only smiled when he arrived at the fourth-level cave, and at the same time released his faint Nascent Soul aura.

Tianxuan hurried out, feeling the faint sense of oppression, and her face tightened.

"Tianxuan, meet the senior!"

Shen Wandou looked at Tianxuan suspiciously, the aura of this woman was a little strange.

But he didn't think much about it, but smiled and said: "I am Shen Wandou, the elder of the Beihai Tianyuan Business Alliance. I came here just to visit Huang Sanren."

Tianxuan hesitated and said: "My master is practicing, I'm afraid it's not convenient to see guests."

Shen Wandou frowned.

"Is that so? I heard that Huang Sanren was looking for puppetry, and I happened to have an ancient book in my hand, and I wanted to communicate with him. In this case, that's it."

After saying that, he turned and left.

At this moment, a special force came like a ripple.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you come in and have a chat."

Shen Wandou looked surprised, "What a powerful spiritual sense!"

He took a deep breath and strode into the cave.
