Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

After deciding to enter the Tao through talismans, Luo Chen immediately became busy.

He has dabbled in the art of making talismans.

During the time in Baili Qingchuan, he was bored and wanted to improve his spiritual awareness. He also wanted to refine something that could save the lives of his disciples, so he began to make a lot of talismans.

From the first level, to the second level, and finally to the third level talismans, all can be refined.

However, compared to the first and second level talismans that can be drawn easily, the third level talismans are slightly more difficult to draw.

It’s not that Luo Chen was not capable enough, but there were too many wars later on, which prevented him from devoting himself to this path.

Now that he has free time, Luo Chen devotes his full attention to it.

He had no shortage of the raw materials needed to make talismans.

Not to mention the stable relationship between the Shenfu Sect and the Luotian Sect, the animal skins accumulated by the Luotian Sect during the more than one hundred years of war between humans and demons are a huge number, enough for Luo Chen to squander.

Soon, Luo Chen picked up the art of talisman making.

Unlike the previous time when he refined various talismans, this time, Luo Chen only focused on talismans with fire attributes.

He first warmed up with the first-level fireball spell and the second-level scorching sun spell, and then Luo Chen began to refine talismans related to the third-level fire spells in large quantities.

Time passed little by little, and with no one disturbing him, Luo Chen made rapid progress.

In less than a year, he had already mastered the art of drawing third-order talismans and it was no longer difficult for him.

The fact that it went so smoothly was also related to Luo Chen’s understanding at the time.

The so-called art of talisman making tests the raw materials, the control over spells, and most importantly the cultivator's magic power and soul.

Luo Chen has no shortcomings in these aspects, so the rest is just a matter of improving his proficiency.

But in the second year, when Luo Chen tried to draw the fourth-level fire spell into the talisman, he encountered a bottleneck.

No matter how careful he is, he often fails just when he is about to succeed.

After one after another, Luo Chen stopped his futile efforts.

"What went wrong?"

"Whether it's my proficiency in spells, my magical power, or my powerful soul, it should meet all the requirements."

“Is it a problem with the raw materials?”

Luo Chen looked at the animal skin talismans in front of him. The highest level was just the talisman paper made from the skin of a third-level demon king.

If there is a problem, it will only be in this area.

Luo Chen did not work in isolation. He immediately sent a message through his spiritual consciousness to summon the Fairy Jueqing.

…

"Meet the Grand Elder!"

Unlike the shy and annoyed look on Fairy Jueqing's face when she left last time, she now returned to her cold look again.

As a result, the way Luo Chen was addressed also changed from the earlier unfamiliar "True Man" to the "Grand Elder" that the Luotian Sect's disciples often addressed him.

Luo Chen knew the core of this change. From Canglong's memory, the other party was not a cold person by nature. It was just that some things happened later that froze that passionate heart.

At the moment, he had no time to pay attention to the mental state of the Fairy Jueqing, and asked directly about the problems he encountered.

In the entire Luotian Sect, if we talk about the person with the highest attainment in talisman making, apart from the current Luo Chen, the only choice is Fairy Jueqing.

No matter what was seen in the dream or the means of using talismans shown by the Fairy Jueqing in her early years, they were far beyond the ordinary talisman practitioners and could even be compared with some strong men of the Divine Talisman Sect.

As expected!

After Luo Chen asked the question, Fairy Jueqing thought for a moment and gave the answer.

"It should be the same as what you thought. The raw material of the talisman is too low-level, so it is impossible to successfully make a fourth-level talisman."

After saying this, Fairy Jueqing looked at Luo Chen in surprise. Since when did this great master of alchemy and talismans become so powerful?

She knew that Luo Chen could make talismans.

After all, he has been in Luo Tian Sect for so many years, even if he has never used it, he has seen low-level disciples of Luo Tian Sect use the talismans drawn by Luo Chen himself.

Especially Qu Lingjun's son Qu Jiu, it is said that he also received guidance from Luo Chen in talisman making, and made rapid progress in this area.

But from the perspective of Fairy Jueqing, the talismans made by Luo Chen are indeed excellent, but the quality is too low and cannot be worthy of being displayed in a formal occasion.

But now, the other party always asks for refining third- and fourth-order talismans.

Is there really a genius in this world who is proficient in all the arts of cultivation?

After Luo Chen got the answer, he confirmed it with his own guess and determined that the root of the problem lay here.

"Could it be that a fourth-level talisman must be drawn with a fourth-level talisman skin?"

Fairy Jueqing nodded slightly, "The principle here is easy to understand. The Grand Elder cast a powerful fourth-level spell. Is there any third-level demon king who can block it?"

Luo Chen shook his head. That was of course impossible.

Therefore, powerful spells must be carried by equally powerful raw materials and preserved as talismans that can be activated at any time.

Then, Luo Chen frowned.

"But my Luo Tian Sect doesn't have many fourth-level talisman skins right now!"

Due to the hundred-year war between humans and demons, most of the talisman skins circulating on the market today are made of animal skins.

No matter how tricky it is to make a fourth-level talisman leather, it must be tanned using the fur of a fourth-level demon king.

But where did so many fourth-order demon kings die and even get refined into talisman skins?

All the fourth-level demon kings are powerful.

The raw materials on their bodies, when falling into the hands of human cultivators, are either used as medicine or refined into powerful magical weapons.

Just like Luo Chen's Xuanchen Armor and Frost Eagle Flying Boat, it is all the same.

It's really a waste to use it as a talisman skin.

Fairy Jueqing reminded: "Grand Elder, the talisman skin used to make the talisman is essentially not restricted to the type of raw materials. Don't forget this."

Luo Chen was stunned, as if he was blinded by one thing?

Fairy Jueqing gave an example, "For example, the Divine Talisman Sect's favorite talisman skins in the early years were the barks of various precious spiritual trees. For example, my favorite raw material for refining talismans is the inexhaustible hundreds of years, or even eternal black ice in my Ice Castle. As far as I know, there are many raw materials that can be made into talisman skins, including paper, silk, gold, iron, and of course jade. It is rumored that the talisman masters who enter the Tao with talismans can even use the sky and the earth as talisman skins to draw the kind of terrifying talismans that can destroy the heavens and the earth."

After finishing her words in one breath, Fairy Jueqing took a breath and finally added: "Monster skin is just the most convenient raw material to obtain in recent years, not the only one."

After Luo Chen listened quietly, he said sincerely, "Fellow Daoist Gu, I am grateful for your advice."

Fairy Jueqing looked a little unnatural, not only because Luo Chen suddenly called out her surname, but also because he addressed her as "fellow Taoist" as an equal.

She coughed dryly and took out a bunch of things from her storage bag.

"These are my savings over the years, all fourth-level talisman skins. I was planning to use them to draw new talismans after I achieve the Nascent Soul stage in the future. Now, I will give them to the Supreme Elder!"

When Luo Chen took a look, he saw the chilling black ice that had existed for thousands of years, as well as green wood blocks that exuded a strong vitality.

They are all good materials!

He did not refuse and accepted it generously.

"Thanks!"

The Fairy Jueqing waved her hand, "It's my duty."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, took note of the friendship, and then casually asked about the current situation of Luo Tianzong.

The heartless fairy tells you everything she knows.

There's really nothing much to say, just some small things.

In one year, Luo Tianzong had completely settled down in Dansheng Blessed Land.

Because the terrain is vast and there are many spiritual veins, there is a lot of room for choice.

For long-term considerations, Sect Leader Li Yingzhang did not occupy every fourth-level spiritual vein.

Apart from Danshan where Luo Chen lived, they only chose a fourth-level spiritual vein with good feng shui as the mountain gate of Luotian Sect.

There, Ling Fengzi chose a sacred mountain, opened a cave, and rebuilt Piao Miao Peak.

Although Wang Yuan did not attach much importance to spiritual energy, he still chose a fourth-level cave and established the God of War Peak.

Bai Meiling was a little restless. After settling down, she had the urge to explore the abyss of the underworld, but was rejected by Li Yingzhang.

"I forgot that Xiaobai is now a ghost king, capable of traveling in the abyss of the netherworld."

Luo Chen smiled and was curious about why Li Yingzhang refused.

Fairy Jueqing replied, "Firstly, it's because the sect master is afraid that Senior Bai will go to the Nether Abyss and attract some powerful ghosts for Luo Tian Sect. Secondly, it's because some active low-level disciples can't help but want to go with him and try to explore the old site of the Nether Abyss and get some treasures."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Luo Chen was speechless. So that's why!

Then Li Yingzhang did nothing wrong.

Although Dansheng Blessed Land is secretive and difficult for outsiders to enter, its entrance and exit are ultimately in the abyss of the netherworld.

It would be troublesome if the door was blocked by someone.

After chatting for a while, the Fairy Jueqing said goodbye and left.

After a brief thought, Luo Chen began to try to refine the fourth-level talisman again.

He used the batch of fourth-level talisman skins left by Fairy Jueqing as raw materials and tried to incorporate several of Luo Chen's most proficient fourth-level fire spells into them.

…

Half a year later.

A figure suddenly appeared outside the ruins of Dan Sheng Temple.

The man dressed in black, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, is Luo Chen!

In half a year, Luo Chen used up the batch of fourth-level talisman skins given to him by Fairy Jueqing, and he also successfully made several fourth-level talismans.

But it is ultimately just a drop in the bucket.

"My skill in making talismans is not a natural gift. It is purely based on my own strong foundation and the advancement of my proficiency level. Therefore, I need a lot of raw materials."

"Luo Tianzong's reserves in this area are insufficient, but there is a natural treasure trove nearby!"

The words of the Fairy Jueqing reminded him.

Mingyuan Sect, as the first and only sacred place of the God of Transformation in the Eastern Wilderness, has a profound heritage that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even though the mountain gate was destroyed and all the disciples died, many things still remained.

An example of this is the magical weapons that Luo Chen picked up when he was crossing the Abyss.

And apart from these things, can't there be something else preserved?

High-level talisman skin is the goal of Luo Chen’s trip!

At the entrance, Luo Chen waited for a while, and then he saw a giant turtle swimming slowly towards him, pushing aside the waves.

Luo Chen jumped on it and said softly: "Let's go to the place where Hanyang Zhenren practiced!"

Generally speaking, top forces will not focus on just one thing, but will practice all aspects, so as not to be controlled by others at critical moments.

For example, the Yuding Sword Sect only practices swordsmanship, the Shenfu Sect only focuses on making talismans, and the Yaowang Sect is only good at refining pills and making medicines, so these are not considered top-level forces.

On the contrary, the Five Elements Divine Sect developed in all aspects in the early years, so it could become the strongest in the six regions of the Far East, and even be regarded as a major force in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

The Mingyuan Holy Land is naturally better than the Five Elements Divine Sect!

When it comes to alchemy, there is the Chu family represented by the Alchemy Saint, when it comes to beast taming, there is the Lu family, when it comes to human affairs, the Ye family is the leader, and when it comes to formations, every family has dabbled in it.

Among them, the great monk Hanyang Zhenren, whom Luo Chen had met once, was the most famous talisman master of Mingyuan Sect.

His lineage, whether it is Master Hanyang himself or his disciples, are all very good at making talismans.

Some years ago, when Master Fu of the Shenfu Sect was chatting, he once praised this person.

This man died at the hands of Qixia Yuanjun, like a falling star.

But the place where he practiced may have left some legacy.

I wonder if this black turtle knows the place where Master Hanyang practices?

…

Traveling through the abyss of the underworld is a very dangerous thing.

Fortunately, with the help of the black turtle, Luo Chen was able to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As he thought, the black turtle did not remember clearly the place where Master Hanyang practiced, so the journey was not smooth at the beginning.

Fortunately, Luo Chen was smart. After searching several places, he finally found a map that recorded the general topography of the Mingyuan Holy Land, and thus determined the direction.

Three months later, Luo Chen stopped in front of a mountain with dim spiritual light and flowing dirty water.

“Is this Hanyang Mountain?”

If it were placed in the outside world, it would definitely be a spiritual place for practice with rich spiritual energy.

But now, it has been submerged in the abyss of water and has almost become a den of ghosts.

Luo Chen sighed, then asked the black turtle to wait outside and rushed in alone.

This trip lasted for a full two months.

When the black tortoise drooped its eyelids and was about to fall into a deep sleep, Luo Chen walked out.

The black tortoise perked up and looked at Luo Chen curiously.

At this time, Luo Chen's magic power was greatly depleted, but he could not hide his excitement.

This exploration of the monk's former residence was not very smooth.

There are actually a large number of low-level ghosts living in it, including several third-level ghost kings!

Luo Chen was able to identify that most of them were ghosts transformed from deceased disciples of the Mingyuan Sect, and some of those who had reached a high level in their previous lives, like Pang Renxiong, had begun to gradually recover their intelligence.

Naturally, they resisted the intrusion of Luo Chen, an outsider.

Of course, in the face of Luo Chen’s powerful strength, these resistances did not cause any waves.

He spent some time clearing out the ghosts, and then slowly searched, and finally found several secret vaults that were relatively well preserved, from which he harvested a large number of mid- and high-level talisman skins.

"With this batch of talisman skins, it should be enough for me to draw a large number of fourth-level talismans!"

After returning with a full load, Luo Chen had no regrets, nor was he tempted by the incomplete magic weapons and materials on Hanyang Mountain. He directly drove the black turtle away.

The return trip will be much smoother.

With the map in hand, Luo Chen guided the direction, and in just a few months, they were about to reach the entrance of Dan Sheng Blessed Land.

However, Luo Chen suddenly spoke halfway.

“Stop!”

The black tortoise was puzzled, then looked up in confusion and looked not far away.

There, there is a mountain standing quietly in the abyss of darkness.

The omnipresent abyss of water was now excluded and could not invade at all.

This mountain is so familiar that any member of the Mingyuan sect can recognize it even if they only take a glance at it.

It is the Mount Yamafu that has been hanging high over the holy land for three thousand years!

There was only one reason why Luo Chen stopped on his own initiative.

There was a familiar aura inside, fighting fiercely with the enemy.

Luo Chen frowned, "Why did Xiaobai come out again?" (End of this chapter)
