Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 273: People in middle age have many worries, take stock of their attributes

 The cool breeze from the mountain stream disturbs people's thoughts.

The silver dragon's loud noise rumbled into the ears.

Luo Chen stood on the edge of the cliff, his eyes filled with sadness.

 Suddenly, there was a sound of surprise from the side.

“Fellow Taoist Luochen, you are here again, maybe you, Luo Tianhui, want people to build the foundation again!”

Looking sideways, it was Nangong Jin who looked surprised.

 He still lives next to here.

Luo Chen smiled reluctantly, "Someone built the foundation, but it's a pity that it failed."

Hearing this, Nangong Jin wanted to express his regret, but subconsciously he also felt lucky.

This weird scene made him look a little weird.

Luo Chen frowned and stared at him.

Nangong Jin coughed dryly, "It is human nature to fail in foundation building. As long as you are not a Tianlinggen monk, no matter how excellent your qualifications and preparations are, there is still a possibility of failure. Fellow Taoist, don't take it to heart."

 Luo Chen is puzzled.

“Why are there no obstacles for monks with Tianlinggen, but not those with other qualifications? What about those with two-spirited roots? What about those with foreign-spirited roots?”

Nangong Jin smiled slightly.

“Why is the Heavenly Spiritual Root not called the Single Spiritual Root, but the Heavenly Spiritual Root? Isn’t it because it is uniquely blessed by nature and favored by Heavenly Dao!”

 “As for those with other qualifications…”

Nangong Jin paused and said casually: "Let me ask you, how much can a low-grade Foundation Building Pill increase the chance of success?"

 “Thirty percent!”

“Then, even if such a qi refiner has done everything possible, can he still get the remaining 70% chance?”

Luo Chen opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

Even though he had a perfect body at the Vajra Realm at the beginning, his soul was comparable to that of a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and his meticulous control of spiritual power was unparalleled among his peers.

 With all these preparations, he also experienced four failures.

 The last time is a success!

If it weren’t for the Dantian with the Five Spirit Root qualifications, which gave him a strong and ample space, the huge medicinal power of the five foundation-building elixirs would have flowed back through his meridians, causing him serious injury.

 Even, he felt that his state at that time was no longer the nine-level perfection of the Qi Refining Stage.

Rather, under the expansion of five foundation-building elixirs, it once hit the tenth, eleventh, and twenty-third floors!

Looking at Luo Chen's speechless appearance, Nangong Jin couldn't help but laugh and said:

 “Stop worrying.”

 “Did the person survive?”

Luo Chen nodded, "Although he was seriously injured, he is fine after treatment."

“Just survive, take good care of yourself, there will be another chance in the future... How old is the one who is trying to break through?” Nangong Jin asked one more question.

Luo Chen thought for a while and gave an uncertain number.

 “About fifty-two years old!”

“That’s quite young!” Nangong Jin said casually: “After a few years, you can try to build the foundation again!”

yes!

still young!

Luo Chen came back to his senses and solemnly thanked Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin waved his hand, chatted for a few words, and left Tianlan Peak.

 Looking back, Luo Chen looked at the entrance of the cave.

 “Brother Qin, you should have heard it too!”

In the cave, Qin Liangchen walked out with a vicissitudes of life on his face.

 After three days of treatment, Murong Qinglian finally woke up from her coma.

 Her current condition is not very good.

Luo Chen’s healing technique is mainly based on his pure spiritual power, and the effect is extremely good.

 But in fact, injuries cannot be recovered without any reason by relying on spiritual energy.

 During the healing process, what was lost was the "vital energy" accumulated by Murong Qinglian over the years.

This vitality, according to Luo Chen's understanding, can be attributed to the cell vitality of the human body, the hidden power of qi and blood, dispersed spiritual power, etc. that have been cultivated for many years.

 Only in this way, a two-pronged approach can restore most of its severely damaged meridians.

 But the rest will be left to her to nurse back to health quietly.

 Take elixirs and eat more foods containing innate energy and spiritual energy.

 This process cannot be accomplished overnight.

 So, in the next one or two years, she will have to take good care of her body.

 In other words, it is best for monks to build foundations before they are sixty years old.

 If the breakthrough fails after the age of 60.

Even if he didn't die on the spot, the time needed to recuperate his body would still take five to six years, or even more than ten years.

 The older you get, the worse your physical function becomes.

 The decline of qi and blood is not just talk.

 Fortunately!

Murong Qinglian is still young. After spending a year or two recuperating her body, she will have a chance to try to build a foundation after she recovers as before.

 It’s just that at that time…

 Qin Liangchen looked sad.

 In the Luotian Club, they are not the only ones who are expected to build a foundation!

 However, there are only a few foundation-building pills that can be obtained.

 A year or two later, it won’t be Murong Qinglian’s turn at all.

Luo Chen frowned as he looked at his speechless and sad expression.

 He can probably guess what the other person is thinking.

 But he cannot make the promise in person.

Patted Qin Liangchen's shoulder, Luo Chen comforted him: "At least, he is fine."

Qin Liangchen nodded, "I think too much. I am extremely lucky that I am still here. Luo Chen, I have taken up too much of your time these days. You go ahead and do your work. I am enough here." ”

Luo Chen said yes and left.

 …

 Returned to Cave No. 17.

Luo Chen sighed and stopped worrying about the matter.

 For some things, he has already done his best.

 Success or failure depends on the respective conditions.

Murong Qinglian had obviously made all kinds of preparations.

There is not even the hidden danger of Min Longyu's weak heart.

 Even so, they all failed.

 “Probability of success…”

Luo Chen muttered this word, as long as he breaks through the great realm, failure and success will go hand in hand.

 In order to increase the probability of success, apart from the panacea, there is actually another way.

 That’s the number of promotions!

 But if you try to break through multiple times, the cost will be higher.

 Enough foundation-building elixirs, plus enough body to withstand the backlash of every failure.

 These two are indispensable!

“Then when I form an elixir in the future, can I still use the idea of ​​foundation building?”

 “With my qualifications, I’m afraid that just one pill-forming elixir will not be enough.”

“It seems that I will have to pay attention to the elixir for every large-scale auction in the future.”

"However, the most urgent task is to raise the realm first. It will be difficult to participate in the competition for the elixir of pill formation until the later stage of foundation building!"

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen adjusted his mentality, cleared his mind, and entered a state of spiritual cultivation.

 …

 After Sima Huiniang formulated the new meritorious service policy, Luo Tianhui once again embarked on the path of full speed development.

 This time, because of the new merit policy, the motivation of the Luo Tianhui monks was increased in a short period of time.

Whether it is Biyou Valley, the market, or the spiritual fields in the Medicine Hall, there are monks running around all day long.

 The rest of the halls are not willing to lag behind others.

 The good news first came from Dantang.

 There are people coming from Taoshan!

 As the property of Baihua Palace Peach Blossom Ancestor, Taoshan’s business has always been excellent.

As the actual manager, Xuanyu gained a lot from it in the later stage of foundation building, which provided him with great help in competing for the ice castle's elixir.

 But it is clear that they are not satisfied with this.

Therefore, Taoshan focused on the Zhongmiao Pills sold by Luo Tianhui.

 A Taoshan foundation builder went to Danxia Peak in person and signed a batch of orders with Sima Huiniang.

 At the price of ten spiritual stones each, the Zhongmiao Pills refined by rice grains every month are directly wrapped in a round shape!

 In this way, this order alone can create a profit of nearly a thousand spiritual stones every month.

  After one year, that’s tens of thousands!

This income is naturally not as good as Luo Chen's original achievements in refining the chalcedony pill.

 In terms of the entire Luotian Society, it is nothing.

 But it’s a good start!

 For this reason, Sima Huiniang specially rewarded rice grains.

Being stimulated, the other three alchemists in the alchemy hall also worked harder to refine their own kind of elixir.

 The changes in Dantang are just the tip of the iceberg.

 At the Qi Hall, there are real earth-shaking changes!

Duan Feng built the foundation, making him more calm in the process of casting.

Min Longyu, a master of formations in the foundation-building stage, also joined the Qitang as an elder.

 With the power of his formation, he can provide great help in refining magic weapons!

In just three months, he and Duan Feng successfully refined a top-grade magic weapon!

You must know that a high-quality magic weapon, no matter how **** it is, can be sold for thousands of spiritual stones.

 If the attributes are excellent, it is not impossible to sell it for four to five thousand.

 It can be seen that the two of them cooperated in making the weapon to make preliminary preparations for repairing the eighteen formation disks and completing the two magic weapon embryos.

  But during these running-in processes, the strength of Qitang was also improved.

The tool-casting apprentices that Duan Feng brought out over the years have also begun to get started with various difficult magic weapon casting tasks.

 It can be said that everything in Luo Tianhui is developing in a good direction.

 As the leader of Luotianhui.

 Luo Chen appears less and less often, and lives in seclusion on Tianlan Peak all year round.

 What he does every day would only seem very boring to outsiders ~ www.readwn.com ~ practicing spells, refining alchemy, and cultivating.

Just these four things, repeated over and over again, but he never gets tired of them.

Time flies.

 That is, half a year has passed. On this day, Luo Chen sat in lotus position on the ice silkworm futon.

The icy cold air made his mind clear.

 In his sight, an attribute panel that only he could see was shining brightly.

ˆ【Shouyuan: 40/190】

 【Spiritual Root: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth】

 【Realm: 60/100 at the third level of foundation building, 20/100 at the blood river level】

  【Achievement Points: 25】

Looking at the attribute panel in a daze, Luo Chen, who had a clear mind, was in a trance for a moment.

 Is this what you have achieved when you reach "middle age"?

 The realm of the third level of foundation building, the body refining level of the Blood River realm.

 Even among large sects, he is considered an absolute genius!

 After sighing with emotion, he browsed through the attribute panel to determine what he had gained over the years.

 The proficiency level of my majoring in the "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" has reached 840, which is still 160 proficiency levels short of Dzogchen.

 It will take about a year to bring it to Dzogchen.

 This is not urgent.

As long as you practice every day and keep running your natal skills, you will always reach the end.

 In terms of spells, the gains are not small.

  Thanks to the master level of Tuyue Technique and Wave Technique, "Landslide", which he had high hopes for, finally reached the perfect level.

 At this level, it can already be initially used in combat.

 The power at this time is probably not much different from that of the Burning Sun Technique when superimposed to the extreme.

However, to perform this technique, you need to fuse three first-level spells, which is quite cumbersome.

 In the absence of instantaneous casting, you still need to carefully consider and measure the battlefield environment before using this technique.

 The promotion of the second-level defensive spell "Liu Li Tian Curtain" came much slower.

  After all, the former is a spell that was started during the Qi refining period.

 This one was started after building the foundation.

However, the advantages of this technique are quite obvious.

 In close defense, the effect is extremely outstanding, and it has been listed as a regular combat method by Luo Chen.

 "Turtle Spirit Covering Armor" This is a spell I learned a year ago.

 Cultivation is a bit complicated and divided into four stages.

 For a year, Luo Chen has been adjusting the breathing rhythm of his whole body when traveling.

Now I have finally completed the practice of "Turtle Breath".

"If I use Turtle Breath, the effect will probably be a little better than that of the casual cultivator on the Gaolingyuan battlefield!"

With a chuckle, Luo Chen skipped the first-level spell column.

 The only one that can be commended is that the divine magic has been promoted to the perfect level with difficulty.

 Others, there’s not much to say.

 What Luo Chen paid most attention to was the alchemy column.

　　After leaving Dahefang and arriving at Tianlan Fairy City, about five years have passed.

 In these five years.

 He personally took action and refined hundreds of thousands of chalcedony pills.

 There are thousands of Tongyou Pills.

 Two hundred Yulu Pills!

 With such a huge amount of alchemy, his alchemy skills have been improved unimaginably.

It’s hard to imagine, but not really immeasurable.

 This can be understood from the improvement of alchemy skills.

 It goes without saying that the Dzogchen jade-folding hand is perfect.

Su Xin Shou, an alchemy technique that specializes in processing herbs and medicinal materials, has also been promoted to the Great Perfection level.

Huanxi Shou was promoted to the Grandmaster level, and Huayun Shou was promoted to the Perfect level.

 The speed at which alchemy can be improved so quickly is staggering.

 Among all the alchemy techniques, the "Qingyuan Miaodan Method", which was the last one to resolve erysipelas, was what Luo Chen paid the most attention to.

 In five years, he developed it from scratch to the master level.

 At this moment, within his sea of ​​qi.

 A tough and huge whirlpool is spinning automatically.

 A stream of spiritual energy enters it, and then is thrown out, washing towards the shore of the air sea.

On the shore wall, the attached erysipelas were washed away by the pure spiritual power, rustled down, and then expelled from Luo Chen's body.

 The master-level "Qingyuan Miaodan Method" can completely solve the scourge of erysipelas!

Now.

Luo Chen finally no longer has to worry about erysipelas, which will affect his future breakthroughs.

 You can take drugs with confidence and speed up your cultivation!

 Such a huge improvement in alchemy skills naturally means that Luo Chen’s proficiency in the elixirs he specializes in has improved.

 The Great Perfection of Tongyou Pill is his greatest achievement in these years.

 The second-level Jade Dew Pill was occasionally refined and reached the proficiency level.

 Now, he has a recovery rate of Jade Dew Pill as high as 30%, and can even refine a mid-grade Jade Dew Pill.

Providing heartless fairies is no longer a problem.

 It's just that he still keeps this secret.

 The time limit given to him by the other party is ten years later.

It’s only been a year and a half now. It’s still early, so there’s no need to worry!

 As for martial arts, Luo Chen doesn't care much about it now.

 The improvement of Wang’s secrets comes from the fact that he performs the five-organ health-preserving boxing once a day and takes the Shenglong Step a few times.

 But this set of secrets involves too many things.

 Fistes, palms and fingers, light kicks, footwork, hidden weapons, swords, guns and sticks are all-encompassing and omnipotent.

 Zhuzhu is indeed the life-long effort of the great master of martial arts!

 But he only dabbled.

 The reason for his improvement in strength was not the practice of this set of secrets, but the weak improvement brought about by the aura infiltrating his body through his long-term practice.

It is conceivable that this kind of automatic improvement will become slower as it progresses without taking the initiative to practice.

Luo Chen didn’t care much about this either.

 It’s an achievement point. I’ve accumulated 25 achievement points, which is really surprising.

 I usually don’t pay much attention to it.

 A spell improvement, an elixir proficiency improvement, or other weak improvements.

 Unknowingly, I had accumulated 25 achievement points.

 The ones that provide big heads are mainly related to alchemy.

“25 achievement points can be used to purchase new second-level spells or second-level elixirs.”

“But now, I don’t have any need in this regard.”

 He knows enough spells!

 There is no one at the same level who would devote part of his time to spells like him.

 In the eyes of ordinary monks, this is an approach that is not worth the gain.

But Luo Chen relied on his superb magic skills to kill enemies several times in the past. How could he give up on this aspect of practice so easily.

 There is nothing much to say about elixirs.

Chalcedony Pill provides financial resources, Jade Dew Pill is the key to maintaining connections, and Tongyou Pill is used to cultivate the soul.

 Unless someone gives him a prescription that is comparable to the Heqi Pill or the Shenglong Pill, he will probably get started at all costs and upgrade it to the level of refining high-grade elixirs!

 There is no other way, Luo Chen has been practicing hard for elixirs for a long time!

 The reason why he was able to improve from [10/100 at the third level of foundation building] to [60/100] in just one year after the auction.

In addition to the top-grade caves, ice silkworm futons, and souls that have been promoted to the late stage of foundation building, they can even run their own natal skills multiple times.

 The biggest contributors are those thirty bottles of middle-grade Heqi Pills!

 This middle-grade Heqi Pill was of great help to his cultivation.

but now?

Gone!

 All has been used up.

˜Otherwise today, he would have had time to browse through the properties panel.

“Without the second-level middle-grade elixir, I have to return to the practice state of low-grade Shenglong Dan.”

Luo Chen was a little depressed.

 After experiencing better elixirs, who would want to go back to the previous "snail" pace of cultivation?

 But some things are not subject to human will.

  When it comes to higher-level orthodox cultivation elixirs, no major sect will release them easily.

 They will only use it for themselves or circulate it among sects.

 As for this mid-grade Heqi Pill, the Yaowang Sect is still very wealthy. In order to maintain the reputation of the Alchemy Sect, they will regularly release some at auctions.

“It’s a pity that the Jade Dew Pill is only suitable for female cultivators. Otherwise, if I refine it to the top grade or even the best grade, my cultivation speed will still not take off!”

Yade Dew Pill has a unique effect, but it is only for female cultivators.

 For male cultivators, it is a defective elixir.

 After swallowing and refining, the cold and cold energy remaining in the Dantian will greatly affect male cultivators.

The higher the level of the elixir, the stronger the yin and cold air will be!

 The female cultivator naturally likes it, but Luo Chen doesn’t like it.

Incidentally, this "defect" for male cultivators is not a congenital defect that is solidified in the Dantian like chalcedony pill.

It is beneficial to female nuns.

 This is a kind of defect that is deliberately created by humans and can even be caused by people.

 Hence, even the system will not optimize this "defect".

“No, we have to think of ways and find ways to get more middle-grade and top-grade Heqi Pills besides auctions.”

 “Shenglong Dan will also work!”

“Counting the time, it’s time for Li Jinhuang to come back.”

“He is old, well-connected, and has many connections. He may know some ways to get high-grade elixirs.”

With his mind settled, Luo Chen really didn't want to slow down his cultivation speed because of the level of the elixir.

 A few days later.

A sound-transmitting paper crane passed through the Tiansheng Water Defense Formation and flew unsteadily to the front of Luochen Cave.

 Subsequently, a figure left Tianlan Peak.
