Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 179: The soul-stirring interrogation, the Fierce Sun Technique is accomplished

The wind is blowing in the daytime, and the scenery is flowing to the west.

　　Time flies and flies by.

 In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

 In the past half month, Luo Tianhui has almost gone into hibernation.

Monks no longer go out, and chalcedony pills are no longer supplied to the outside world, even to several major foundation-building forces.

 Such a strange state has attracted the attention of many casual cultivators.

 But no one questioned it.

 The reason is simple. Everyone knows that Luo Tianhui suffered a horrific beast attack.

 It is said that a second-level monster came in person at that time.

 In the end, Luo Tianhui managed to defend with a set of top-notch formations.

But even so, Luo Tianhui suffered heavy losses, with more than a dozen late-stage Qi Refining monks dying under the impact of the beast tide.

In this case, Luo Tianhui would be unable to retreat and silently lick his wounds, which was undoubtedly the most reasonable choice.

Several major foundation-building forces also remained silent on this matter.

 In other words, there is nothing to talk about in the first place.

You can’t just jump out and say you did it, or maybe you didn’t do it, for no reason, right?

This is not self-inflicted!

 Unknown to outsiders, a raging cultivation frenzy has set off in the Luotian Society!

Of the more than two hundred first-order monster beast corpses, except for some of the corpses, a large amount of monster meat was still preserved.

 It’s two hundred thousand jins!

With such a huge batch of monster meat, Sima Huiniang only sold half of it to get back the original spirit stones.

 The rest was kept and supplied to all the monks in the Luotian Society.

Not only that, Luo Chen personally took action and spent ten days refining a total of 1,600 middle-grade chalcedony pills.

 Six hundred pills were left, and the remaining pills were sent out.

 It is not free, but is provided to internal monks for purchase according to the previous half-price standard.

I would like to ask the monks in Luotian Congregation if they are willing?

Everyone will answer, buy as much as you want!

The middle-grade Chalcedony Pill is only effective for the early and middle stages of Qi refining, but when supplied in sufficient quantity, the effect is extremely impressive.

 After all, not everyone can live a life like Luo Chen, who eats pills as food.

Now, Luo Chen is distributing it at the internal half-price standard.

Even the logistics monks tightened their belts and gritted their teeth to buy a few bottles.

 Luo Chen only had three requirements for them.

 During this period, you are not allowed to go out.

The war hall monks supplement their fighting methods and become familiar with the new magic weapons they get.

 Logistics monks, try their best to take elixirs and work hard to improve their cultivation.

With such turbulent preparations, everyone can sense that the storm is coming.

And their president, Luo Chen, disappeared in front of everyone after finishing the alchemy.

 …

 In Changyin Mountain.

Luo Chen stepped on the white clouds, and his robes rustled in the wind.

 He did not restrain any aura, patrolling Changyin Mountain like a king.

 Obviously, he is not the king of Changyin Mountain.

Hence, a low howl soon sounded, expressing dissatisfaction with his wantonness.

Luo Chen looked at the old giant wolf that appeared on the top of the mountain, and his heart felt empty.

 After a short inspection, he has already discovered it.

 It has been a full year, and neither the giant frost wolf tribe in Changyin Mountain nor the gray leaf wolf tribe in Huiye Mountain has returned.

 The ones left behind are still the old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, what he considers "old and weak" is actually a real life-and-death enemy to other ordinary Qi Refining monks.

“The second-level frost demon wolf is a good training target.”

 Luo Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spat out.

 A sword light spurted out instantly.

On the top of the mountain, the demon wolf looked at this scene indifferently, its claws clattering casually.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 simultaneously! laugh! laugh!

Three sharp ice edges flew out, instantly knocking the sword into pieces.

Visible to the naked eye, what emits the sword light is a sword pill.

 As old as it is, it has gradually gained wisdom.

Hence, he was very confused when he looked at the humans who took the initiative to provoke him.

How dare a mere qi-refining monk be so rampant?

Seeing the sword pill coming again, it did not dodge and stretched out its wolf claws, trying to catch it.

 Large swaths of frost appeared on the giant claws.

However, before the sword pill reached his side, it suddenly turned into a surging golden light.

The golden light was dazzling, transforming into dozens or hundreds of sword lights, surrounding the top of the mountain layer by layer.

 Such attacks are nothing to it.

 The demonic wolf blew out two streams of white air from its nose and swept away.

 Wherever the white air passes, layers of ice form in the air.

 All sword light will continue to disappear when it encounters ice.

The white air roared back, and the demon wolf lost its temper. It no longer planned to play with this human.

There are also a group of wolf cubs waiting for it to take care of. If other monsters run into the canyon, the gain will outweigh the loss.

However, before it could move, a sense of danger from the bottom of my heart surged throughout my body.

 “Ouch!”

A shrill howl of wolves sounded, and numerous ice walls suddenly erupted from the top of the mountain.

In the distant sky, Luo Chen watched this scene, and the small sun he held in his hand couldn't help but become more and more blazing.

 “He is alert.”

“Sure enough, monsters become more sensitive as they get older.”

With a chuckle, Luo Chen relaxed his hands lightly.

That little sun hit the top of Changyin Mountain directly.

　　Boom! !

 A violent explosion suddenly erupted.

 The terrifying spiritual power, the blazing high temperature, and the unparalleled explosion enveloped the mountain top almost instantly.

　　Bang!

 A horrifying scene appeared.

The huge fireball, as bright as the sun and as red as the red lotus, made a huge roar, accompanied by countless small explosions.

Like a chain reaction, an unimaginable resonance was formed in the end.

 Under the blue sky, waves of fire spread, layer after layer.

The towering mountain top suddenly collapsed in this violent explosion.

 The rocks are jagged and the ice and fire blend together.

Under the scorching heat, a huge white wolf, with charred hair and a body covered in cold and hot air, jumped down from mid-air.

 Its chest was covered in blood and flesh.

 The left front paw was twisted strangely, and pale blood was dripping.

 It is injured, and it is not serious!

 “Woo woo…”

 An angry wolf howl, sharp and continuous.

Its eyes rolled wildly and its nostrils kept sniffing.

 It was frantically searching for the enemy, but no matter how hard it searched, there was no trace of the enemy.

 …

 In the narrow mine tunnel, Luo Chen walked.

 He looked relaxed and showed no signs of exertion.

 “This old wolf is not simple!”

“Even among the second-level monsters, they are considered strong, comparable to human foundation building.”

Luo Chen knew very well that Lao Lang didn't use all his strength in the early stage.

 The only time he used all his strength was to focus on defense.

 And defense is not the demon wolf’s strength.

 They are strong in speed and attack.

 But Luo Chen was not disappointed. He tested the method that he had thoroughly optimized to the extreme.

 Advanced version of Dzogchen Fireball Technique—Fire Sun Technique!

Just now, time was in a hurry, and only half of the strength was used to force the powerful frost wolf to be so embarrassed.

 I'm afraid, he was seriously injured.

If you give him enough time, he can definitely threaten the foundation-building cultivator.

 “In this way, I finally have some means of self-protection.”

 Luo Chen has a very clear view of his own strengths and weaknesses.

Compared to the foundation-building true cultivator, his shortcomings are insufficient spiritual power, inability to release spiritual consciousness, and extremely poor defense capabilities.

 The advantage is that it is not inferior to the speed of foundation building and true cultivation, and may even be slightly faster.

 After all, even the Jade Cauldron Sword Cultivator, who was known to have extremely fast escape speed, once looked at his speed.

  If it were all about speed, it would be a nuisance fly at most.

 Then, after optimizing the Dzogchen Fireball Technique to the extreme, he is no longer as simple as a fly.

 Super fast speed, which can threaten explosive attacks during the base building period.

In the brief confrontation, he was already no worse than an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.

“Calculating the time, it’s time for the Nangong family to give me an explanation.”

Luo Chen sneered and stepped out of the mine.

 Coming to the Luotian Club, my eyes scanned the inside and outside of the Xianyue Valley.

With his spiritual vision skills, he can completely detect every fluctuation of spiritual power.

The remaining twenty -more post -gas -refined post -monks in the battle hall did not go out of the valley.

 Jintang and Dantang gave him an unexpected surprise.

With the cultivation of spirit beast meat and chalcedony pills, in half a month, he really helped several monks who had been practicing at the sixth level of Qi refining for many years to break through to the seventh level.

 In this way, the number of people in the war hall can be slightly replenished.

However, none of this is important.

 Soon, a voice came to my ears.

Luo Chen nodded imperceptibly, then set up the floating clouds and headed towards the Guyuan Mountains.

Ten miles behind him, a figure wearing linen clothes followed step by step.

  Half an hour later.

Luo Chen cautiously stopped in Qinghe Mountain.

“I didn’t expect that it was you, senior, who came.”

On a stone platform for people to rest halfway up the mountain, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes turned around.

 He smiled slightly, "Isn't it me you want to see?"

Nangong Jin, the patriarch of the Nangong family.

 Strictly speaking, this was the first time Luo Chen met him.

Every time he discussed cooperation with the Nangong family in the past, it was Nangong Qin who contacted him.

Luo Chen's eyes flashed and he fell under the big tree next to the stone platform.

 Another familiar person was lying there limply.

"I have no intention of making things difficult for Luo Tianhui, and I have no reason to be disrespectful to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. The beast tide is definitely not the fault of my Nangong family. I hope you will consider it carefully."

Nangong Jin was talking eloquently, and there was no hint of any harm in his words. He pointed at the unconscious man.

"This man is the former head of the Beast Hall of the Poshan Gang. After the destruction of the Poshan Gang, our Nangong family and the Li family divided the resources of the Beast Hall. This man joined us, but he has only been taking care of the chores of the beast hall for a long time. ”

“My Nangong family closed down some time ago, and many matters were entrusted to him.”

“Therefore, this person must be responsible for the beast tide.”

　　咻!

 A burst of spiritual power suddenly shot out.

 The unconscious man twitched twice, then opened his eyes blankly.

 At first glance, when I saw Nangong Jin, I subconsciously showed a fawning smile.

At the second glance, he saw Luo Chen and subconsciously took a step back.

 Luo Chen stared at the other person, and he caught the other person's panic and the sudden tightening of his pupils.

Nangong Jin smiled slightly, "My friend, you can ask whatever you want. There should always be an explanation today."

 After saying that, he retreated not far away.

Luo Chen was not polite and stepped forward.

 “Ke Yuelin, long time no see.”

Ke Yuelin opened his mouth, and finally smiled, "Yeah, long time no see. Well...congratulations, Luo Chen, you are now the president of the guild, and you are much more prosperous than before. We..."

"You know, that's not what I want to ask." Luo Chen shook his head.

Ke Yuelin's eyes kept flashing, trying to find an excuse.

However, Luo Chen was already impatient, and his eyes were blazing green.

In just a moment, Ke Yuelin fell under his gaze, feeling like he had stepped into a lot of fog.

 It was as if he had encountered a natural enemy, and his whole body could not help but tremble.

"Huh?"

Not far away, Nangong Jin let out a surprised sigh.

Luo Chen ignored him and looked down at Ke Yuelin.

“Where do second-order Explosive Ape babies come from?”

“Purchased from the hunting and cultivating place in the ancient Yuan Mountains. The Nangong family has always had the tradition of raising monster cubs, hoping to tame the monsters into spiritual beasts.”

 “Rogue cultivator, what is casual cultivator?”

“I don’t know, I just know that the person’s surname is…Li, and he is at the ninth level of Qi Refining.”

Luo Chen frowned. His surname is Li?

 The level is still so high.

 Could it be a monk from the Li family in Dahefang?

He then asked: "Why did you sell it to Liu Qiang alone? As far as I know, he has no habit of asking family monks to buy monster beasts. It was you who took the initiative to contact him."

"Someone told me that Luo Tian will be buying up first-order monsters on a large scale, and he wants them alive. So, he will sell them at a high price..."

"Who told you that?"

Ke Yuelin, who was lying on the ground, struggled for a moment.

He opened his mouth, but what came out was not the answer he asked.

"How can Luo Chen be so virtuous and capable? He is not only valued by Mi Shuhua, but also favored by Jade Cauldron Foundation... I am not convinced. He is just a boy who got lucky, and everyone is fawning over him."

“The leader of Luo Tianhui is obviously a group of homeless dogs huddled together for warmth.”

 “Woo woo…”

 “I am the lost dog, and I am looked down upon by everyone.”

"The Nangong family is a wolf-hearted person. I helped them take care of the animal farm, but they even stole my foundation-building elixir."

 “Don’t give me a chance, or I will definitely...”

Luo Chen’s face was gloomy.

Without turning sideways, you can see Nangong Jin's ugly face not far away from the corner of your eye.

 I don’t want to hear this nonsense anymore.

 The green light in Luo Chen's eyes grew brighter again.

 Faintly, there seemed to be a shadow, looming above Ke Yuelin's head.

 Control the strength of the magic to scare people away.

Luo Chen asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, who told you that Luo Tianhui is buying monsters?"

 “It’s…Duan…Poof!”

 A mouthful of blood, spat out on the head.

Ke Yuelin's pupils suddenly dilated, and his eyes almost bulged out.

 The veins on his forehead were exposed and his mouth was wide open.

 A pair of hands tightly covered his neck, making no sound for a long time.

Luo Chen avoided the mouthful of blood and stood up with a gloomy expression.

 Ke Yuelin, dead!

 “Fellow Taoist, what a great trick!”

 Have you become a Taoist friend?

Luo Chen twitched the corners of his lips, "It's just a humble use of the soul, and it cannot be considered elegant."

 It can only be regarded as a minor use.

Now Luo Chen's soul foundation has far surpassed Qi Refining Casual Cultivation, and is comparable to Foundation Establishment Real Cultivation.

 The soul-deterring technique itself has the effect of frightening the enemy.

 Using the Dzogchen Spiritual Eye Technique as a carrier to release, Ke Yuelin was in a state of being defenseless.

 In this way, it is natural to get whatever you want.

It's a pity that the other party's soul suddenly died in the end, so he couldn't ask for more information.

Nangong Jin walked over and looked down at Ke Yuelin, who was still dead.

“He must have been manipulated by the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator. He must not reveal the truth, otherwise his soul will burst and die on the spot.”

“There are not many true practitioners of foundation building in Dahefang!”

Nangong Jin was startled and raised his eyes.

 I saw Luo Chen looking at him with a half-smile.

 He smiled casually, "Since I dare to bring him to see you, I naturally have a clear conscience. And you just interrogated him, so you must have figured it out in your mind!"

 “Li family? Or Duan family?”

 These are the only two people with surnames that came out of Ke Yuelin's mouth before.

Nangong Jin suppressed his smile and said seriously: "If it is the Li family, then it is aimed at my Nangong family. Our two families have enmity and conflicts of interest, which cannot be resolved."

“Lending my Nangong family’s hand, whether it means killing you or offending you. After the return of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, my Nangong family will not benefit.”

 “If it’s the Duan family…”

Nangong Jin frowned. For a moment, he couldn't think of any conflicts between the Duan family and them.

 After all, there was a time when they almost became in-laws.

"There is a legitimate son of the Duan family in our association who harbors hatred towards the Duan family." Luo Chen said calmly.

Nangong Jin hesitated and said: "In other words, frame the blame? Kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head again.

"But this is too much to make a fuss about. If the foundation-building cultivator wants to kill someone, why would he use such methods?"

“I have the means of self-protection left by Elder Pang Renxiong. Any means that are too eye-catching will always fall into place.”

Hearing this, Nangong Jin pursed his lips imperceptibly.

Luo Chen looked at Ke Yuelin's body and said to himself: "Then the key to the problem is who placed the soul restriction on him..."

"Soul restraint is a sophisticated technique, as far as I know. The Duan family is good at casting magical weapons and is quite skilled in formation restraint. The female cultivator from the Li family practices Huaiyin Jue and is also familiar with this method."

 The truth froze once again.

Luo Chen and Nangong Jin looked at each other, and then laughed in tacit understanding, as if they had a tacit understanding.

 “It doesn’t matter anymore, does it?”

“Yes, the most important thing is that you and I put aside our past grudges and cooperate sincerely.”

“What about the chalcedony elixir supply?”

“As usual, I brought fifty bottles with me.”

 “Okay! Okay! Okay!”

 After delivering the elixir, Luo Chen flew away on the spot without even looking at Ke Yuelin's body.

 After he left, a figure stepped forward quickly under the stone platform.

 “Father, why are you so polite to him?”

Nangong Qin was puzzled.

 He admitted that Luo Chen was indeed outstanding, so he no longer had any contempt for him before.

But my father is a true cultivator, so why should he be so approachable?

However, Nangong Jin looked into the distance cautiously.

 “You’re polite, of course it’s because of your strength.”

 “Strength?”

 Nangong Qin was puzzled.

 He is not yet able to release his spiritual consciousness and cannot detect the surrounding situation.

But Nangong Jin could easily detect that there was an existence a few miles away, exuding his own aura without any concealment.

That is no less impressive than the foundation-building true cultivation.

 It should be the master from Luotian Battle Hall.

"and…"

Nangong Jin handed the storage bag to Nangong Qin.

"If we want our Nangong family to return to its peak state again, pills are indispensable. With this batch of chalcedony pills, the few juniors trapped in the sixth level of Qi Refining should be able to break through."

Nangong Qin nodded in agreement.

  Recently, the elixirs in Dahefang have become increasingly difficult to purchase.

 In the past, you could still count on Lianyun Merchant Alliance and Zhenlong Black Market.

 But for some unknown reason, the price of elixirs in the Lianyun Merchant Alliance has been getting higher and higher recently.

 At the Zhenlong black market, the number of pills flowing out is getting smaller and smaller.

 Luo Tian will shrink some time ago and will no longer supply chalcedony pills to the major foundation-building forces.

 This has completely stuck the Nangong family’s neck.

 In order to restore the supply of elixirs, father and son went out together this time.

“What about this person?” Nangong Qin looked at Ke Yuelin’s body.

“It’s just a casual cultivator who dares to be dissatisfied with my Nangong family, so he will die easily.”

Nangong Jin sneered and fired a fireball.

The body was burned by raging fire, and the master of the Beast Hall of the Poshan Gang was turned into ashes.

Sweeting the light dust, the Nangong family walked to the edge of the stone platform with their hands behind their backs, looking at the figure disappearing in the sky with a distant look.

“No wonder you said at the beginning that the pressure he put on you was no less than that of establishing the foundation for true cultivation.”

“This son’s spiritual soul is actually so powerful. If he can be promoted to Foundation Establishment, he may not be able to spread his spiritual consciousness more than five miles away!”

“And this person is very courageous and dares to talk in front of me. There is indeed something worthy of being valued by Master Jindan.”

 Generally, when a monk builds a foundation, his spiritual consciousness is initially released within a two-mile radius.

 Five miles away, it is already twice as long as an ordinary person.

Luo Chen’s spiritual soul is so powerful?

Hearing the last high praise, Nangong Qin was even more shocked.

Luo Chen was valued by Master Jindan of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, and the matter of giving him a token had long been an open matter among the major foundation builders in Dahefang.

Now it seems that it is not a lie.

“Qin’er, you should hang out with this person more in the future.”

"But father, we and Qin Liangchen..."

"There are some things that you can afford to take but also let go of. He killed many of our family monks, but why didn't he pay the price?"

Nangong Qin sighed, "We need an ally, an ally that is not so strong, but has enough value!"

“But didn’t you say that the disaster will be diverted to the east?”

“Haha, let’s see if they can prove their worth.”
