Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

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 whether 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 seats are occupied by the children of the wealthy family, the Gu family Gu Yuan, the Shi family Shi Ju, and the 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 moved 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 the person's situation was transmitted one by one through his spiritual consciousness.

"The Heavenly Spiritual Root may be rare in other places, but it is not uncommon in our sect. At least among the thirteen people participating in the competition, there are seven Heavenly Spiritual 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 Shiju'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 leave 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 boy, he doesn't want to make a fuss about him.

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

Today's visitors, except for the servants and followers and the low-level disciples of 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, the 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!"

Watching a ceremony, what kind of ceremony are you watching?

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 Beihai!

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 the Yuan Demon was destroyed, no one cared about the major events in Zhongzhou, and no one was sent 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 indeed Gu's good fortune 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 "Wuji 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 face had already changed. Facing Luo Chen's question, he immediately replied: "That is my sect's spiritual treasure!"

The word "spiritual treasure" was enough to explain the change in the expressions of the cultivators in the field.

But the real reason why Shi Ju, Fu Qinglan and others were excited was the role of the black chess pieces of Lan Ke.

In Fu Qinglan's explanation, Luo Chen also learned more about this 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 rumored endgame.

These three together constitute the Lan Ke spiritual treasure, and each has a different function.

It is rumored that the Lan Ke chessboard can suppress the foundation of a continent in the hands of a great master of transformation, and prevent the spiritual power from leaking out.

The so-called chess pieces are divided into black and white. There are 181 black chess pieces, each of which has the effect of protecting the soul. There are 180 white chess pieces, each of which is a treasure for attack.

And the endgame is even more mysterious.

Except for the one who refined this treasure, if others enter this game, they will not be able to escape at all and will be trapped in it for life.

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

The Lan Ke Lingbao has been hanging in the Tianyuan Dao Sect for thousands of years, and no one has been able to refine it and recognize it as the master. At most, they can borrow the power of one or two chessboards.

It was not until seven hundred years ago that Ke Lianshan appeared out of nowhere and showed his astonishing talent in chess that the spiritual treasure was shocked.

And he lived up to everyone's expectations. When he reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he took a new step in the endgame, thus gaining the recognition of the Lan Ke spirit and becoming the master of Lan Ke.

The name of chess saint, started from here!

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

"Is the black chess piece I got that year also part of this spiritual treasure?"

"I don't think so. It's just a low-grade magic weapon, which is very different from a spiritual treasure."

"But according to the description of the effect, even the difference between black and white chess pieces, they are so similar. I absolutely don't believe that there is no connection."

"In this case, what is the relationship between the Ghost Valley, the Jindan Sect of the East Wilderness, and the Tianyuan Dao Sect?"

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

...

"It's almost done."

When the time came to the afternoon, Luo Chen wanted to leave.

He was not good at chess, and didn't want to focus on the deduction of the chess game. In addition, he didn't pay attention to it, so there was no point in staying here.

And the purpose of this trip has been achieved.

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

While constantly estimating in his mind, he had already gained some confidence.

In this case, let's leave!

Seeing Luo Chen was about to leave, Fu Qinglan hesitated for a moment and followed him.

Luo Chen looked at her calmly and said nothing.

He could see clearly that the other party was not focused on the game today.

She was not interested in her beloved Go, which showed how much pressure Shi Ju from the Shi family brought to her.

The two walked out of Taoyuan at a leisurely pace. The surroundings were extremely quiet, no longer as lively as before.

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

"The Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven Competition is related to the future opportunity for the true disciples of our Dao Sect to become gods, so the people who serve as guardians are often carefully selected by major families. Not only are they outstanding in strength, but they also know their backgrounds and are best loyal."

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

"Brother Liu Yuan, who you were curious about before, he doesn't have this family background and no corresponding connections. But he got help from the master-disciple lineage!"

"The master-disciple lineage has been declining in my Tianyuan Dao Sect for a long time, and even the qualifications of the Nascent Soul cultivators to enter the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven have been deprived. This time, they In the name of helping Senior Brother Liu Yuan, we sent Senior Sister Mingyan, one of the most outstanding disciples of the time. This is also a matter of discussion among our major families. It is hard to say whether Senior Sister Mingyan will protect Senior Brother Liu Yuan or Senior Brother Liu Yuan will protect Senior Sister Mingyan in return. "

"The Lan Ke Lingbao is very famous, but no one has been able to recognize the master and refine it before. However, the research on this treasure has never stopped, so many imitations have been produced. "

"I see that Brother Dao is quite concerned about this treasure just now. After returning, I can decide to give you a replica of the level of a magic weapon. "

...

Luo Chen stopped.

At a place where the mountain turns and the river roars.

Fu Qinglan looked at him in confusion.

Luo Chen looked calm and his eyes were gentle, "Some words, just say them if you want to say them!"

Fu Qinglan opened his mouth, his little mouth was rosy and pouting, but a little trembling.

Then, there was a light sigh.

"Brother Dao has a keen eye, but I can't hide anything."

"Like a torch? Like Shi Ju?"

The calm words pierced people's hearts.

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

"This man has always had bad intentions towards me. He once said that I would enter the Shi family and become his concubine. Not only that, he also said that he would give me servants to support the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven Competition. In the future, he will even help me revive the Fu family, even the title of a wealthy family."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "Since it is such a generous condition, how can he have bad intentions? As far as I know, marriages between your families are quite frequent!"

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

"Oh?"

"He has a criminal record. He used this trick to deceive a young lady from a noble family when he was in the foundation-building stage. That fellow disciple was still in the Jindan realm at that time. He was quite outstanding and had the hope of reaching the Yuanying stage. But after entering the Shi family, not only did his path stagnate, but even his family was annexed by the Shi family."

"Really?"

"Absolutely true!"

Luo Chen frowned, "With such behavior, no one in the Dao Sect would question it?"

Fu Qinglan pursed her lips and stroked the hair that fell to her mouth, looking distressed, "Everything went smoothly. Even the family of that fellow disciple was willing to be annexed. Who would question it?"

Luo Chen understood.

From this point of view, Shi Ju was really a genius who was spoiled by the sect and the family!

How could a cultivator go back on his promise so easily?

Even if we don't talk about the contract oath, normal promises should be taken seriously.

The word "tease" mentioned by the woman in front of him was quite vivid.

Shi Ju was not greedy for beauty, or perhaps he was not after the small family behind them, he just wanted to play with these women.

He was staying in this peaceful area with only internal fighting. Apart from practicing, he must be bored and looking for these fun things!

Luo Chen thought so.

Fu Qinglan explained a few more words, such as she was the hope of the rich family and it was impossible for her to marry far away from home.

Luo Chen was no longer interested in listening to these old sayings, but his expression became serious.

"So, this is why someone is 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 valley.

He was dressed simply, without silk and satin, only linen clothes and cloth shoes, white leggings tucked into his shoes and socks, and a white towel on his head that spiritual farmers often used to wipe sweat.

He was hunched over and looked miserable.

Facing this person, Fu Qinglan blurted out.

"Mr. Qi!"

"Miss Qinglan is still so kindhearted, unlike others who always call her "Mr. Qi".

Seeing Fu Qinglan, the old farmer nodded.

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

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

When his back straightened, a burst of strong winds whistled, and his tall body instantly stood in front of him like a majestic city.

Without giving Luo Chen any chance to speak, he took a step forward and punched.

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, Yuanying Zhenren? Or a physical cultivator?

Or, both?

If he was not mistaken, that kind of strong Qi was quite similar to the Qi that could only be cultivated by orthodox physical cultivators.

If such a strong man was in the outside world, Luo Chen would have a good fight. In fact, he has always wanted to try his method of refining the body of wild beasts and the orthodox physical cultivators to see which one is stronger.

But this is the Lan Ke Mountains!

The location of the Tianyuan Dao Sect!

He is an outsider, so it is not easy to take action.

If he takes action, the Fu family may not be able to protect him, and Tiandi Peak may not spare any effort to protect a mere foreign affairs guest.

And the other party is so decisive, so he must have no such concerns.

In this case...

Facing the punch that came from the air, Luo Chen did not dodge or avoid.

Boom!

A shallow concave hole appeared on the ground.

It was so shallow that it showed that the other party's strength was controlled very carefully, and it was also known that the other party did not use all his strength.

But Qi Xiongcheng was stunned.

Passed by?

How could it be like this!

He looked up and saw that the Taoist in white robe in front of him had a calm face, and there were illusions around him as his magic power surged.

At this moment, those warm eyes became like a bottomless abyss, leading people to fall.

"This..."

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

When he opened his eyes again, where was the Taoist in front of him?

It was just a shadow left by the magic power.

He looked back and saw that Luo Chen had already floated away. Fu Qinglan followed closely behind him, but he kept looking back at him.

Qi Xiongcheng stood there in a daze with his right hand suspended in the air.

"Is it an illusion?"

"Then when did I get hit?"

He stood there with his back straight, but inexplicably, his waist seemed to be hunched.
