Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 103: Happy Journey to Great Consummation

 “His….”

 Sounds of inhalation came from the bed.

Luo Chen felt the refreshing, cool, numb and itchy feeling in his body, and felt quite comfortable.

Just now he poured a drop of the pulse-replenishing liquid given by Mi Shuhua, mixed it with a bowl of water and drank it.

 Don’t mention it, the effect is really good.

With the blessing of the spiritual eye technique, one can vaguely detect the repairs of the meridians deep in the body.

 The speed is not very fast, but it is more reliable.

“I don’t know how many spiritual stones are needed for such a bottle of elixir?”

Luo Chen sighed with emotion and put the medicine bottle away.

 One drop a day, too much is too much.

It has to be said that the higher the realm, the more various auxiliary spiritual medicines are needed.

Like during the Qi refining stage, you don’t even need many elixirs at all. A bottle of Qi-nourishing pills is enough to beat most pills.

On the contrary, the monks in the foundation-building period who have laid the foundation of the great avenue are polishing themselves as much as possible in order to break through the core formation.

Even small places like meridians and acupuncture points have special elixirs.

“The fact that I can enjoy these now is really thanks to Mi Shuhua’s credit.”

With a sigh, Luo Chen began to plan the training courses for the next month.

 First of all, it is best not to practice Changchun Gong in the short term.

 Otherwise, every time external spiritual energy is absorbed into the body, it is a contusion of the meridians.

 You should still be able to take other elixirs, but you have to take them in smaller amounts.

Luo Chen now has in his hands the Qi-nourishing Pill sold exclusively by Lingyao Pavilion and the Chalcedony Pill he refined himself.

 The former's medicinal power was no longer as effective as before as he advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

It seems that anecdotal drug resistance is emerging.

“A careful calculation shows that I have not taken more than fifty bottles of Qi-Yang Dan, only a few hundred pills, before I developed drug resistance.”

“Those thousand bottles of Qi-nourishing pills can forcibly create a legend of perfect Qi refining, which is false.”

“Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that I haven’t stopped taking it. If I use it at intervals, maybe drug resistance won’t appear so early?”

 The Qi-nourishing pill is not as powerful as before, and the middle-grade chalcedony pill has only half the potency.

 But there is no drug resistance yet, so you can eat it without any problem.

However, chalcedony pill has side effects, and taking too much will cause the pubic area to become jade-like. This should be kept in mind.

 As a result, the speed of practice will definitely not increase in this month.

 But Luo Chen’s Changchun Gong has reached the master level and has the effect of automatically restoring energy.

  But you can put your energy into spells.

 【Achievement points: 24 points】

　　It has not been fully developed for a long time, but this time the attribute panel has undergone some changes.

 These secular martial arts in Xiaoyaoyou are listed in a separate column called "Martial Arts".

This is not too surprising. After all, these martial arts did not greatly improve his combat power. They mainly provided achievement points.

There is also an extra column called "Alchemy", which is probably related to his painstaking study of "Qing Yuan Dan Jie".

“Unknowingly, I have accumulated 24 achievement points. Maybe I can use them to try to learn an incomplete elixir recipe?”

Luo Chen thought of another elixir Mi Shuhua gave him, Tongyou Dan.

That thing, after taking it, seems to be able to improve the foundation of the soul?

 But after thinking about it carefully, Luo Chen decided to let it go first.

 After all, the main material of Tongyou Pill is a bit strange. If it is purchased in large quantities, it will definitely attract others' attention.

 Save these achievement points first!

 As long as you haven't consolidated your position, you still have to be careful in what you do.

Luo Chen’s eyes fell on those spells and martial arts that were on the verge of upgrading.

 Especially the Breath Condensation Spirit Technique!

“This month, just spend all your time practicing these spells!”

“If they are all upgraded, it will be of great benefit to me in terms of improving my combat power and accumulating achievement points.”

 …

 This day, behind the Xianyue Valley.

 It did not go deep into the primeval forest of Xiaoyue Mountains, just an open space nearby.

 A figure kept moving back and forth in the sky.

 Sometimes it tossing and turning, sometimes it leaps several feet like an arrow from a string.

The energy is not exhausted, and when it is about to fall to the ground, it is floating like fallen leaves, and new energy comes together, and it goes straight up with the wind.

 Suddenly, the figure floated in mid-air, his eyes showing contemplation.

Xiao Yao You, a set of secular light skills, finally became perfect after half a month of diligent practice.

 The improvement brought about by the Dzogchen Escape is the circulation of internal energy.

In other words, even when his energy is not exhausted, he can still generate several streams of energy and blood, allowing him to fly between heaven and earth again.

If we take worldly lightness as the standard, there is no doubt that Xiaoyaoyou has reached the state of perfection.

 It allows mortals to fly for a short period of time.

However, with the help of the Wind Control Technique, this awesome effect becomes dispensable.

 “It’s a waste of time to look forward to it.”

 Shaked his head, Luo Chen smiled casually.

“However, if you encounter a situation where your spiritual power is exhausted, this light skill can have an unexpected effect.”

 “Moreover, it also provided me with an achievement point.”

Thinking about it this way, I don’t feel that I am suffering too much.

Moreover, the speed at which he can perform the Wind Control Technique has increased by 30% due to the Great Perfection of Xiaoyaoyou.

His flying speed now has completely surpassed that of a monk flying with a magic weapon in the late stage of Qi refining.

The tossing and turning in a small area is extremely varied, and I really feel like I am free and happy, traveling in the void.

If the Wind Control Technique is also perfected, and the two are combined, the power will be even more outstanding.

 Not to mention anything else, Luo Chen is already using the running skill and is almost full of points.

On the way back, he no longer used Xiaoyaoyou, but used the Wind Control Technique to fly.

 Proficiency is built up little by little through daily habits.

 After a while, he flew back to Xianyue Valley.

As soon as he landed, he was stopped by Murong Qinglian.

“Here, the gang leader sent this to me. Can you see if it fits?”

Luo Chen was a little surprised when he looked at the pure white furry coat in his sister-in-law's hand.

 “Are you still giving out clothes?”

 As he spoke, he put on his coat.

Murong Qinglian was watching from the side, with a look of astonishment in her eyes.

 What a skin!

 A handsome young man, rich and handsome.

Perhaps it’s because he was injured. Recently he has been focusing on practicing spells and refining alchemy. His temperament is less philistine and more quiet.

 Looking at it as a whole, he looks like a prince or aristocrat, but also looks like a large disciple showing off his appearance.

“Didn’t you get a secret injury when you broke through the realm? You usually can’t stand the cold, so the gang leader sent someone this demon fox coat.”

“The climate here is mild and winter starts slower than other places, but it won’t be long before heavy snow seals the mountains and it will be very cold.”

“With this coat made of demon fox fur, you don’t need to use your spiritual power all the time to maintain the temperature.”

 Listening to Murong Qinglian's ramble, Luo Chen also felt quite warm.

 Whether it’s in the heart or on the body.

“The stitching is pretty good! It’s so densely sewn that you can’t even notice it if you don’t pay attention. The material is also good. If you can record formations, it will feel no worse than a low-grade robe.”

Luo Chen commented, and by the way, he gave a thumbs up to Mi Shuhua, who was not here.

 The old man is interested!

Murong Qinglian smiled and said: "The gang is planning to start this business recently. They will use the scattered animal skins brought back from the hunting at the battle hall to sew coats, which will more or less make a fortune in spiritual stones in winter. "

"Like this?"

“Yes, because of this business, my medicine hall and animal hall had a huge quarrel.”

Murong Qinglian glanced at the female monks in the valley, sighed and said: "There are mostly female monks in the medicine hall. There are not so many medicinal materials in winter, so we have to find something profitable for them to do!"

“This coat was actually made by our female cultivator at the medicine hall, but the animal skin is a complete demon fox skin provided by the gang leader.”

Luo Chen also fell silent for a while.

 He also experienced the winter in Dahefang, and those days were indeed difficult.

 The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, making it countless times more difficult to hunt in the mountains or collect herbs and mines.

Many casual practitioners simply cannot survive this kind of winter and either stop practicing or leave their hometowns to seek life in other warm places.

 How did you survive the winter?

 The answer is to mess it up!

Just rely on the Bigu Powder that I refined myself to get through day by day, and don’t talk about cultivation or anything else.

Thinking of those days, Luo Chen felt the warmth brought by the coat on his body, thought for a while and said:

“Sister-in-law, feel free to go and fight, my Alchemy Hall will definitely support you when the time comes. I will also communicate with my friend Zeng Dao and Brother Wang Yuan.”

"Thank you very much. If you need to clean this coat in the future, you can also leave it to the female nun in the medicine hall."

Murong Qinglian smiled broadly. This was the answer she wanted to hear.

After a brief chat, Luo Chen hurried back to the alchemy hall after deciding to go back to the courtyard for the birthday party at the end of the month.

 At this same time every day, he would return to the alchemy hall and be responsible for the elixir refining work in the afternoon.

 Chalcedony pills are all prepared in the morning, while in the afternoon, Zhongmiao Pills and a small amount of Bigu Pills are mainly refined.

He still has the recipe and secrets of the former Zhongmiaowan in his hands.

 But the latter, he has already taught them all.

There is no need to master all this kind of thing that has little profit.

 On the contrary, being away from these trivial matters will bring him a lot of free time.

 “Mi Li, you are in charge of the Great Alchemy Room today!”

 “Tangquan, you are in charge of the small alchemy room!”

"Others are fully cooperating. I want to see how you have progressed during this period!"

With the order given, the young monks all got busy.

Luo Chen stood outside, his eyes fell on another abandoned alchemy room, and he frowned.

“It’s such a waste to have an empty alchemy room.”

“Not only does it limit my proficiency level, but it also reduces the output of elixirs, which I will share in the profits!”

“No, we have to ask Mi Shuhua to buy a new alchemy furnace!”

I haven’t plucked wool for a long time. After putting on new clothes today, my heart became restless again. Luo Chen's hands felt itchy for a while.

 …

 …

 Small courtyard, big world.

 The alleys in the north of the city, which used to be cold and lonely, have become lively since the afternoon.

 People come and go, and various things are moved in from time to time.

Occasionally, residents would ask people coming in and out, but they would only get information about someone's birthday.

 They didn’t know who it was specifically, and the younger brothers from the Poshan Gang didn’t say either.

But when they left, they were holding big bamboo tubes filled with freshly popped popcorn.

This is a good thing. They usually sell a bucket of spiritual stones at Baishi Square.

 Our hall leader must be generous.

 Those who come to help, one bucket per person!

It was almost dusk when Zeng Wen and his nephew Tang Quan finally reached the door of the courtyard with various twists and turns.

“The hall master should have earned a lot of spiritual stones, why do you live in such a remote place?”

Tangquan looked around curiously. He couldn't find the way to an unfamiliar place.

Zeng Wen slapped him in the face and said, "You are so blessed that you don't know how lucky you are. Fellow Daoist Xiao Luo used to be a casual cultivator. It's good to have such a place to stay."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Tangquan, "Have you brought the gift I asked you to bring?"

Tangquan said aggrievedly: "Yes, the incense burner is still good, but didn't the hall master say that there is no need to bring gifts to the door?"

"Hey, you kid is really ignorant!" Zeng Wen said as a lesson, "I didn't ask you to bring a very expensive gift or something small to express your feelings and bring us closer to each other. You will still be there in the future. He's working as a subordinate, maybe he can teach you some alchemy skills."

While the two were talking, a girl was holding a big wine gourd and looking at them curiously.

Zeng Wen’s eyes couldn’t help but light up, what a beautiful little beauty!

Unexpectedly, the girl bowed to him softly and said, "You must have asked uncle Zeng. My father often mentioned you when he was alive."

 My father?

 While alive?

Looking at the familiar girl’s oval face, Zeng Wen couldn’t help but ask: “Who is your father?”

“My father was originally homeless, and he used to practice in the Poshan Gang. He was known as the Yuejian Tiger.”

Zeng Wen put away his leering eyes, coughed, and became dignified.

"It's Xiaoyue. Your father and I do have a pretty good relationship. But he often mentions me. I'm afraid he's scolding me behind my back!"

Yuan Xiaoyue chuckled lightly, but because she was holding the big gourd, she could not hide her smile.

The big gourd stood out clearly, and I asked out of curiosity, "What are you doing?"

"My grandpa asked me to give Luo Chen a birthday gift, a 50-year-old pineapple wine. Before my father passed away, he liked to drink this year's wine the most. He said it was brewed because of the heavy snowfall that year and the pineapples were full of moisture. The wines are more mellow than other vintages.”

 “That boy Luo Chen is really lucky.”

Zeng Wen looked at the big gourd with envy, then turned around and slapped Tangquan again.

“Have you seen that little girls know how to bring gifts to their homes, and you still want me to teach you!”

Tangquan felt aggrieved, but others also had their grandfather to teach them!

Of course, when I asked this uncle, he didn’t have the airs of his father’s generation at all, but he did have the airs of his grandfather’s generation.

 While the three of them were chatting and laughing, they stepped into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered, a warm and lively feeling hit my face.

 I saw a huge table set up in the courtyard, filled with sumptuous food.

There are also three copper pots, which are placed in the front, middle and back of the table.

 Under the small copper pot is a stove burning a charcoal fire, which is where most of the temperature in the courtyard comes from.

Before Zeng Wen had time to look for an acquaintance, Tang Quan ran over.

“Lao Qu, why are you here? Is this your grandson?”

Qu Hancheng said with a smile: "The hall master asked me to come over for a light meal when he learned that I had recovered from my injury."

 After saying that, he took out the half-grown child from behind.

“Lingjun, I’ve met your uncle Tangquan.”

The half-year-old child looked at Tangquan curiously with his big eyes open, and whispered: "Hello, Uncle Tangquan!"

Tangquan came to have fun, "It's not okay for a child to be so afraid of life. Come, uncle will take you to play!"

Seeing Tang Quan carrying his little grandson around and flying around, he was so frightened that the child cried loudly.

  Qu Hancheng showed a smile instead.

 He is incompetent, and the son he gives birth to has no spiritual roots.

On the contrary, the son and daughter-in-law worked hard and gave birth to three cubs, and finally the spiritual roots were found in Qu Lingjun.

Although it is still the four spiritual roots that most sects look down upon, it finally has a foundation for practice.

Now that he can get to know these Qi Refining monks more, his future journey will be smoother.

 Speaking of which, I have to thank Hall Master Luo Chen for giving him this opportunity.

His eyes fell on the courtyard, where several female cultivators were whispering, Zeng Wen, who was showing off in front of Murong Qinglian and then beaten by Qin Liangchen, and the young male cultivator sitting on the threshold with an indifferent expression.

These are basically great monks in the late stage of Qi refining!

Unknowingly, Hall Master Luo Chen’s private circle has become so powerful.

Well, I can’t be idle either. I have to help out more. I’m not here for nothing today!

 …

 In the room, Luo Chen, who was cooking at the bottom of the pot, looked helplessly at the gifts that were brought in.

“As I said, you can come empty-handed. The main thing I want to do today is to get together with everyone and have a good meal.”

Zeng Wen rubbed the big bump on his head while stuffing a book into Luo Chen's arms.

“Do you want to love me or not? I am afraid that this thing will spoil the spring, otherwise I don’t want to give it to you.”

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment. He saw a corner of the book and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Who do you think I am? I'm not..."

“Okay, okay, I know you are not that kind of person, so I won’t give it to you next time.”

Zeng Wen waved his hands and walked out, clearly not believing Luo Chen's words.

 In his view, fellow Taoist Xiao Luo is a fellow Taoist with him!

Luo Chen quietly put the enlightenment book into his storage bag.

This kind of thing must be criticized in the dead of night!

 Speaking of which, he has obviously said hello, but the guests who came today all gave some gifts more or less.

 It is not particularly valuable, but it has a lot of heart in it.

Yuan Xiaoyue’s 50-year-old pineapple wine, Tangquan’s incense burner, Bai Meiling’s pot of strange flowers, Feng Xia’s handful of seeds, and Duan Feng’s tips for maintaining magical instruments.

Brother Wang Yuan also came here just now and brought Luo Chen a bottle of Taishanfang's specialty elixir - golden jade liquid.

 It is said that smearing it all the year round is very beneficial to body refining.

Brother Qin and his wife also gave him a folding fan. Although it was only a low-grade magic weapon, it sold very well!

Luo Chen also complained that it was almost winter and gave him a fan, but when he learned from his sister-in-law that it was Brother Qin who personally selected it, he couldn't say anything.

During the days when he was training every day in the Trial Law Palace, he casually said a few words about the style of cultivating immortals such as flying with a sword, white clothes and folding fans.

 Unexpectedly, Brother Qin would remember it in his heart.

Only Gu Caiyi did not give him any gifts after Luo Chen's instructions.

 After all, the two of them are so familiar with each other, so it would be strange to give gifts.

 Keeping these little gifts in mind, Luo Chen became more vigorous in boiling the soup base.

This is his first official birthday since time travel, proving that he has finally settled down completely in this strange world.

We have to keep everyone fed and drunk no matter what!

 …

Several moonstones are placed around the yard, and the bright moonlight makes the yard as bright as day.

Steaming soup pots, a dozen stir-fry dishes that are delicious and delicious, and several plates of cold dishes.

In addition, the fairy beans and popcorn fried by Luo Chen are also placed in every corner.

There were twelve people in total, sitting at a large table.

Pour the wine and drink the cup to the full.

With the greetings of these two old fritters Luo Chen and Zeng Wen, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Everyone chatted about various strange things in and around Dahefang. Even Wang Yuan, who was always taciturn, told an interesting story about Taishanfang.

 It is said that he was a young man from a local cultivating immortal family and became a member of a Jindan sect in the Jade Cauldron Territory.

accidentally entered the sect's secret place and peeped at the head's daughter taking a bath. She thought she would become a prosperous person from now on, and the family had even prepared a betrothal gift.

 As a result, the daughter of the head of the family was unwilling and even asked the elders to destroy the family.

Originally, it was a tragic incident involving family destruction and death, but because there were some **** elements in it and it was told from Wang Yuan's mouth, it was inexplicably a little funny.

 In the middle of drinking, Zeng Wen felt that it was not lively enough, so he simply took the lead in playing the drinking game.

No one else showed any timidity, but Duan Feng, who was cold-faced and warm-hearted, showed a little bit of weakness.

 When I arrived at Luo Chen, I was embarrassed.

 “I can’t!”

“You didn’t become a cultivator when you traveled through time, so why are you still doing copywriting?”

As a last resort, he took a big drink.

Seeing his embarrassment, Gu Caiyi took over the conversation and said that he would perform a dance for everyone.

 Everyone cheered!

Gu Caiyi didn't hesitate, blinked at Luo Chen, then flew into the sky above the courtyard with his sleeves flying.

The Jinghong Dance that amazed everyone on the Taoist stage has reappeared in the world.

Luo Chen was fascinated by it, and he understood the meaning of that glance. This dance was his birthday gift.

　　When we first moved into the courtyard, we said we wanted to see each other dance in private, but we never did.

Now I have gotten what I wanted, although there are others watching.

Zeng Wen, who was next to him, even called it a pity, saying that there is no such dance in Tianxiang Tower.

“Having been in the gang for a long time, my dancing skills are quite unfamiliar.”

After landing, Gu Caiyi smiled reservedly, but the applause clearly did not agree with her modest words.

 Zeng asked about restarting the drinking order, but everyone got tired of it and suggested a different way of playing it.

This is not a problem for Zeng, who has been wandering around Fengyue Field all year round. He turned his hand and took out a small pot and a handful of arrows.

 “Let’s play hut!”

“What fun is there in these tricks? They can’t trouble us practitioners.”

"No, no, no, you have underestimated the Tou Hu." Zeng Wen said clearly, "The foundation-building monks cannot use spiritual consciousness to play Tou Hu, and the Qi Refining monks cannot use spiritual power."

“And this small pot is actually a medium-grade defensive weapon with an internal formation. If you have poor eyesight and insufficient strength, you won’t be able to throw it in!”

With this said, everyone’s interest arose.

They all picked up arrows and threw them inside.

 Whoever loses has to drink.

Of course, after Wang Yuan casually showed his hand in this game, he was banned from participating.

Physical practice is cheating if you play hutong!

 In such a cheerful atmosphere, I don’t know who said something.

"Snowing!"

 Everyone stopped throwing pots, stopped talking to each other, and looked up at the sky.

 Under the night sky, crystal hexagonal snowflakes flew down.

“I don’t know how many casual cultivators will die in Dahefang this year.”

 “Alas, let everyone accept their destiny!”
