Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 442 Snow Mountain

 In the quiet room of the cabin, which is as warm as spring.

Luo Chen took the materials that had been prepared in advance from He Lianyun one by one.

Each ingredient is basically prepared in sufficient quantities for more than ten times.

 And most of them are of extremely high quality!

It can be seen that in order to refine the Mingyuan Pill, He Lianyun and others did not cut corners.

However, even so, Luo Chen still found many shortcomings.

 “Why aren’t the red crystal dates peeled in advance?”

“Well, after peeling, won’t the medicinal properties be lost?”

"Who told you this? This medicinal material has extremely strong medicinal properties. If it is not peeled in advance to let out part of the medicinal power, it cannot be used to make elixirs."

 “Ah, what should we do?”

“Don’t worry, give me some time to process it. It will take three to five days for the medicine to evaporate to a suitable level.”

 “Huh? This cold star grass…”

"what happened again?"

“Alas, are the alchemists of your Lian Yun Shang Alliance only of this level? They can’t even handle the Cold Star Grass. Forget it, just keep everything and I’ll deal with it again one by one.”

He Lianyun handed the storage bag filled with medicinal materials to Luo Chen and left the room with a depressed look.

 Come on the deck.

 Fu Jiusheng looked over at him.

"What's wrong?"

He Lianyun said in a buzzing voice: "Luo Chen was not satisfied with the medicinal materials I collected. He said several of them were not processed properly. But I obviously asked people to process them according to the most standard method on the market. I doubt it. Luo Chen is deliberately trying to find fault."

 “Oh, that’s right!” Fu Jiusheng responded casually.

Seeing Fu Jiusheng's usual look, He Lianyun was a little confused.

 “Isn’t he deliberately trying to find fault?”

Fu Jiusheng smiled and explained: "I don't blame you. It's really possible that Luo Chen didn't mean to find fault. I know many powerful sect alchemists. Even if they refine the same elixir, they need the same medicinal materials, but the specific processing They all have different standards.”

 After hearing this explanation, Helian Yun became even more confused.

“For the same elixir, shouldn’t the ratio of medicinal materials be the same proportions and standards?”

 “No, no, no…”

Fu Jiusheng shook his head, "This has something to do with the level of the alchemist. If the alchemy is strong enough and the medicinal properties are too strong, they can also use alchemy to weaken them. And if the medicinal properties are low, they can also make up for it through other means. . If it comes to the actual refining process, it also depends on the alchemist's mastery of a certain alchemy. If the level of a certain alchemy is too low, they will give up on the alchemy that has higher requirements. Medicinal materials, using medicinal materials that are better processed by other alchemy techniques..."

 Seeing him talk more and more complicated.

Helian Yun felt a little dizzy.

He waved his hand quickly, "Stop, stop, you want to say that all this has to do with the alchemist's own level and habits, right?"

Fu Jiusheng smiled and nodded slightly.

He Lianyun exhaled, "Okay, just pretend that Luo Chen didn't mean to cause trouble."

Fu Jiusheng, on the other hand, had a hint of doubt under his smiling red face.

“Luo Chen probably hasn’t personally experimented with the refining of Ming Yuan Dan before. After all, he lacks the main materials.”

“But why can he accurately understand the corresponding standards required for each medicinal material?”

He Lianyun didn't know his doubts.

Looking at the scenery like cloud shadows flying upside down outside the flying boat, his face straightened.

“Fellow Daoist Fu, now that we have reached this point, it’s time to tell us our true destination!”

 …

 Inside the cabin.

Luo Chen simply processed various medicinal materials according to his own habits, and then put them away.

  Yes, just simple processing.

 The medicinal materials prepared by Helian Yun are actually very complete.

 Based on his solid foundation of alchemy skills, these medicinal materials can be used as medicine at any time.

  He was so picky, but he actually wanted to covet some of the extra medicinal materials.

Luo Chen has hardly stopped researching on the Mingyuan Pill recipe in the past six years.

 The final result is that there is no result.

  After all, it is an elixir-forming formula from the Holy Land Sect, and it has also been deduced by the great master of transformation.

 At his current level, he can no longer go any further.

 But in the aspect where there was no big result, he found another way and tried to simplify the prescription.

 Don’t seek better, but seek worse!

No matter how bad it is, it is still a third-level elixir recipe, and it is also an elixir recipe related to elixir formation.

If a new elixir recipe could be simplified, even if it was less effective than the Ming Yuan Dan and the original Ming Hai Dan, it would be a great gain for Luo Chen.

 That way, he can try to refine it himself, or take it internally, or sell it externally, or he can use this as an opportunity to make friends with other sects and develop contacts.

Of course, the latter two are too dangerous.

Luo Chen mainly wanted to deduce a prescription with relatively suitable effects that could be taken by himself and the Luo Tianhui monks.

 As long as it succeeds!

From now on, when Luo Tianhui monks form elixirs, they will no longer be stuck by large sects.

That's why Luo Chen needs more medicinal materials related to the original recipe.

 Even his current state is not enough to support him in simplifying the recipe for the Ming Yuan Pill.

 When he reaches a higher level in the future, he might be able to complete this work.

 Practice is never about looking at the present moment.

 After collecting various medicinal materials, only the complete Jialan Lei flower was left in front of Luo Chen.

 Crystal clear, with flashes of blue arcs from time to time.

 “He transforms into a **** in the white night, and has great power in the way of thunder.”

“The various heritage resources where his palace is located are almost all related to the thunder attribute.”

“Could it be that after a monk reaches the advanced level of becoming a god, he will specialize in a certain department? So that even many matters in life will be related to that department?”

 Put away the Jialan Lei Flower with great care and attention.

In this way, the three main materials required for refining the Ming Yuan Pill have been collected: Tianshan Huiyang Water and Jialan Leihua.

 Only the Nine-striped Snake Saliva Fruit is missing.

 And that thing…

 Luo Chen looked deeply into the cabin.

Those deep eyes seemed to be looking through the cabin wall towards the distant snowy mountains.

“Fu Jiusheng is too cautious!”

“Before, I used the Shui Jing Dan Xiang to track him down. It was obvious that he was going to the extreme east, but the real Nine-striped Snake Saliva Fruit was in the nearby Daxue Mountain.”

"The other three people also have something to hide. It seems that Xiao Sanren is still on the ninth level of foundation building, but from my observation, his external spiritual power is too stable, and he may have reached a perfect state."

“He Lianyun has not changed much, but he has been in charge of the Lianyun Merchant Alliance for many years, and he must have many trump cards, which should not be underestimated.”

“Mrs. Yousha seems to be the weakest, but I always feel that she is hiding something.”

 Since deciding to collaborate with these four people.

 Luo Tianhui has not stopped conducting intelligence investigations on them.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

Even though Luo Chen had faced enemies stronger than them and experienced greater battles, he still had to be careful when he was alone.

 …

 The flying boat moves forward.

Bypassing densely populated areas and flying specifically to deep and secluded places.

 It takes less than half a month.

 In a dense forest, five figures gathered together.

Fu Jiusheng looked at everyone, especially Luo Chen, who was collecting the flying boat.

 “Ahead is where the Snowy Mountains are!”

"The Daxue Mountain is just a general name. It is actually a giant mountain range that stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles. It is covered with continuous snow and has countless famous mountain peaks. There are also countless low-level monsters growing there, most of which are monsters from the ice, snow, water, and soil systems. Mainly beasts. In addition to countless low-level monsters, second- and third-order monsters also appear from time to time. There is even a fourth-order demon king named White Bone Black Snake."

 Hearing his introduction, several people's expressions remained normal.

 These common senses are basically understood by any immortal cultivator who is close to the Million Mountains in the Eastern Wasteland.

Fu Jiusheng paused and continued: "And what we are going to is a spiritual place that I named Ten Thousand Python Cave."

Ten Thousand Python Cave?

As soon as this name came out, everyone frowned slightly.

Just by hearing the name, you can tell that there are probably a lot of monsters like pythons gathered inside.

“The Nine-striped Snake Saliva Fruit is a spiritual substance that is an elixir born from the snake saliva in a place where a large number of snow pythons live.”

“But there are many kinds of snow pythons in the world, and only the saliva of the seven-ringed snow python can cultivate the nine-striped snake saliva fruit.”

　　When the name of the Seven-ringed Snow Python was revealed, everyone's expressions changed, including Luo Chen.

Who doesn’t know that the seven-ringed snow python is one of the bloodlines of the white-bone black snake?

 Fu Jiusheng actually set his sights on this kind of monster!

 As for why pythons are descendants of snakes?

There is no need to take this kind of question seriously, it is not something that a few of them Foundation Establishment monks can delve into.

 However, how can they not change their temper when they have to fight against this kind of monster that is at least the third level?

 Fu Jiusheng looked at them, "Are you afraid?"

"How can we not be afraid? If it's just a third-order monster, that's all. A monster like this that lives in groups must be the strongest beast king-level existence among the third-order monsters." Xiao Sanren looked fearful. Beast king-level existence, even if it is He also has to stay away.

He Lianyun smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Fu, why didn't you explain it in advance? At least, it gave us some ways to deal with it!"

 Fu Jiusheng's face showed a cold expression.

 He mentioned the snow python before, but he didn't believe that these people were not prepared accordingly.

Looking at everyone, he said coldly: "If anyone is afraid, you can leave early now."

Several people looked at each other, but no one threatened to quit.

 Are you kidding? After years of planning, who would stop moving forward after reaching this point?

 In the crowd, a young voice suddenly came out.

It is Luo Chen!

“I want to know how you can create a quiet alchemy environment for me in a place where there are third-level beast kings and seven-ringed snow pythons live in groups?”

 This question goes to the core.

Fu Jiusheng's expression softened slightly, "Very good, since everyone is not quitting, at least they are of the same mind. As for fellow Taoist Dan Chenzi's concerns, I can also answer one or two." In his explanation, everyone understood why. Knowing that there is a third-level beast king, he still dares to lead people to **** food from the tiger's mouth.

It turns out that the place where the Nine-striped Snake Saliva Fruit grows is not in the core area of ​​Ten Thousand Python Cave.

That third-order seven-ring snow python, as the king of the tribe, cannot always take care of a spiritual plant.

 So, it just arranged a few second-level snow pythons to monitor and take care of it.

 “I have a relatively safe route into the Ten Thousand Python Cave.”

“After arriving there, kill the few snow pythons that are guarding you, and then I will set up the magic array, which will be enough to buy Dan Chenzi enough time and environment.”

 For monsters with relatively low intelligence.

 The effects of phantom formations are often greater than those of offensive and defensive formations.

However, several people looked at Fu Jiusheng with a bit of surprise.

No one expected that this person was actually an array master.

 “Okay, it’s useless to say more.”

“Everyone, take a rest first, and then quietly enter the Snowy Mountains!”

“This journey is long, and there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents. Let’s try our best to stay in good condition.”

 After saying that, Fu Jiusheng found a big tree and immediately sat down cross-legged to meditate.

 Several other people saw this and did the same thing.

Especially Madam Yousha and Xiao Sanren, who were responsible for driving the airship and monitoring the outside world along the way, were in worse condition.

 Luo Chen is in excellent condition.

Flyed to the top of the mountain alone, looking at the continuous snow-capped mountains not far away, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

 Occasionally, he would look back in another direction.

That is where the Tianshan Mountains are, which is where the Ice Castle Sect is located.

 The two are less than a thousand miles apart.

 For high-level monks, it is just a matter of seconds.

During his time at Ice Castle, especially in the last half year, he often heard that Ice Castle disciples would go into the mountains to hunt and obtain resources.

Occasionally, there will be a tide of beasts from the snowy mountains that attack the ice castle.

 But here comes the problem.

With such a close distance, isn't Ice Castle afraid that the fourth-order Beast King White Bone Black Snake from the Snowy Mountains will come out and destroy it easily?

  The higher the realm of immortal cultivators, the greater the gap in strength.

 The fourth-level Beast King is comparable to the real Yuanying!

If the Bone Black Snake were to attack, the Ice Castle would probably not be able to resist it for a moment.

 So, where did Ice Castle get the courage to choose the sect’s headquarters in such a dangerous place?

While he was thinking about this problem, the four people in the woods had almost adjusted their breathing.

“Dan Chenzi, it’s time to set off!”

 “Come right away!”

Luo Chen replied, suppressing the doubts in his heart, and with a movement of his body, he flew in front of several people.

 Fu Jiusheng saw that everyone was here, and everyone seemed to be full of energy and in good condition.

 A wave of the hand.

 “Let’s go!”

 The five figures gathered their auras and flew into the rolling snow-capped mountains using simple wind control techniques.

 …

 It is completely different from the snowy mountains rumored by the outside world, where there is no grass growing and the ground is covered with ice and snow.

The deeper they go into this ice and snow, the more extraordinary Luo Chen and the other five people feel.

Even if it is not covered with green grass, there are many spiritual trees and vegetation growing abundantly.

Moreover, the closer you get to some of the snowy peaks, the more vigorous the aura you can feel.

"Tsk, tsk, this snow-capped mountain doesn't seem too surprising, but it is actually a natural third-level spiritual land! If Jindan monks occupy this mountain, they can start a sect. Even if they don't establish a sect, they can use it as a place for personal cultivation. Excellent!”

Looking at the small snow-capped mountain that was only a few hundred feet high dozens of miles away, Xiao Sanren was amazed. There was even a hint of greed in his eyes.

However, his fantasy was directly shattered by Fu Jiusheng.

"Forget it!"

“Among the millions of mountains in the Eastern Wasteland, there are countless natural third-level and fourth-level spiritual lands. Do you think they are so easy to invade?”

 “These are all owned lands!”

Xiao Sanren curled his lips, but couldn't refute.

This world is like this. Regardless of the wild mountains, the land of the four seas, or the five continents of immortality, all high-level spiritual lands usually have owners.

Either it is occupied by high-level monsters, or it is occupied by the Holy Land of Shangzong.

Where is their turn to practice casual cultivation?

He Lianyun also looked at the small snow mountain with envy, "If we and other casual cultivators want to occupy a spiritual land like this, it will be impossible for us to rely on our own strength in our lifetime. Only when the human monks initiate the opening up In the case of war, only by completely conquering a huge mountain range and turning it into a realm of cultivation can you practice peace of mind in it. "

 His words were recognized by everyone.

The world of human race cultivating immortals is basically created in this way.

Like the Jade Cauldron Territory where they lived more than four hundred years ago, it was also a barbaric land inhabited by monsters.

 At that time, it was still called the Lianxia Mountains.

However, the Lianxia Mountain Range is inconspicuous among the millions of mountains in the Eastern Wasteland, and the resources within it can only be regarded as average.

  Comparatively speaking, it is much worse than Daxueshan.

“I don’t know which giant mountain range the Luoyun Sect is going to open up in this opening war?”

“It should be the Guyuan Mountains! That’s the most familiar territory for the Jade Cauldron Domain monks.”

"It's hard to say that the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has always been dissatisfied that the Jade Cauldron Domain is too small and the number of monks is too large. In recent years, not only have monks been sent in and out of the Guyuan Mountains, but they have also opened Dahefang, Taishanfang and many other markets in nearby places. They will Are you willing to give up the Guyuan Mountains that you have managed for a long time to the Luoyun Sect?"

“It can’t be the Xiaoyue Mountain Range! It is said that the Xiaoyue Mountain Range is much more dangerous, and most of the demonic beast groups in it are wolves. This is a hard nut that the Luo Yun Sect will not be able to crack down.”

"Haha, monsters and beasts are reckless and unwise. No matter how powerful they are, so what? The Luoyun Sect has gathered the power of several sects, and with the Mingyuan Sect as its backer, as long as you have the will, you will definitely be able to defeat them!"

“If we all succeed in forming elixirs, maybe we can form an alliance to establish a large golden elixir sect, and then occupy a third-level spiritual land for cultivation during the opening war?”

“Fellow Taoist is thinking too far, but it is indeed a good suggestion.”

 A boring journey on the road.

 While the five of them were on alert, they chatted about interesting things from time to time to cheer up their spirits.

After all, flying cautiously for a long time in the vast white sky is also a burden for the monk's soul.

 The small snow-capped mountain with the third-order spiritual veins had been left behind two days ago.

Along the way, many scattered spiritual places appeared.

 First-order, second-order, small, large.

Like the third-level spiritual land, there are several places.

 One of the third-level spiritual lands was filled with spiritual energy that reached its peak.

Even though they are thousands of miles away, everyone can feel its power from the towering snow-capped mountains.

 Large-scale third-level spiritual land!

 There must be a third-level spiritual vein within it that stretches for thousands of miles.

This kind of power is difficult to feel in the human world of immortality.

 Because sects in the world of human immortality often use various secret techniques, spells, and even large-scale formations to confine spiritual places, making sure not to allow too much spiritual energy to leak out.

Only in this unexplored and wild mountain can you feel this pure and unbridled spiritual place that vents its surging vitality to the outside world.

certainly!

This kind of aura environment without any confinement has also allowed countless wild monsters to be born in this area.

Along the way, even though this route into the mountain was what Fu Jiusheng said was a safe route, they still encountered many low-level monsters.

 This day.

 Xiao Sanren, who was clearing the way ahead, suddenly stopped.

“Fellow Daoist Xiao, what’s wrong?” Fu Jiusheng asked.

Xiao Sanren looked gloomy, "Are you sure this is a safe route?"

Fu Jiu Sheng was confused, but when he flew to the front, his expression turned bad.

“Strange! Why are there a group of barred snowy owls here? I remember that when I came here three years ago, there were no such monsters on this route!”

 Xiao Sanren retreated slightly.

 “This is not the key, the key is, what are we going to do next?”

 Fu Jiusheng is in trouble.

He Lianyun suggested, "A detour?"

"Absolutely not!" Fu Jiusheng said solemnly: "There is a group of direwolves living nearby, and there is even a third-order wolf king among them. Detouring is asking for death. Moreover, detouring is too time-consuming. If you miss the nine-striped snake, If the fruits are not ripe enough, then our trip will be in vain.”

 “Then what do you want to do?” He Lianyun asked.

 Fu Jiusheng looked at the four of them, gritted his teeth and made a decision.

 “Let’s break in!”

“After all, it’s just a group of first-order barred snowy owls. If we move faster, we won’t cause any big trouble.”

 We had already discussed this before entering the mountain.

During the journey, all decisions were made by Fu Jiusheng, an experienced herbal collector. The other four people could question and make suggestions, but the final decision still depended on him.

 At this moment, he made the decision to break through.

 In this case, there is nothing more to say.

Luo Chen is located in the center of the five people, in the safest protective position.

 Looking at the four people taking out their weapons, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

After taking Tongyou Pill for a long time, his current soul foundation has completely exceeded the foundation building stage of Dzogchen, so he can see more things.

The enemy is not just the Barred Snowy Owl!

However, he said nothing.

 It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to see what these people are capable of.
