Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 449: The struggle between the Nascent Souls, the mystery of glory and prosperity, revisiting old places, seeing old friends again

The voices are vicissitudes of life and far apart.

But it was not in the form of a roar, it was just a plain sentence, but it could be transmitted to Luo Chen's ears very clearly.

Suddenly, a guess came to Luo Chen's mind.

 Divinity’s voice transmission!

But they are thousands of miles apart, and the sound is not condensed into bundles for targeted sound transmission. How much spiritual power does it take to be able to hear it so clearly?

Luo Chen swallowed and calmed his mind.

He shook his head suddenly and looked up again.

With his faint eyes, he vaguely saw another scene under the thunder clouds in the sky.

A young Taoist priest, wearing a white bone Taoist robe with complicated patterns, was sitting on a bone Taoist cart, overlooking the mountains.

 He was pulled by a three-headed dragon.

At this moment, he was grinning and staring fiercely at the old man opposite.

Wearing a green shirt, her long gray hair is neatly draped behind her back.

The old man was indifferent, but facing the white-bone Taoist and the three dragons, he was not afraid, and even had a smile on his lips.

 The White Bone Taoist stared at the old man in front of him.

"you know me?"

The old man smiled and said: "Who doesn't know about the White Bone Black Snake, the Lord of the Snowy Mountains?"

“But I don’t know you?” White Bone Black Snake looked at him disdainfully.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "There are many powerful people in the human race. I am just a newly promoted Nascent Soul. It is normal for fellow Taoists to not know each other. Please allow me to introduce myself, Luoyun Sect—Han Zhan!"

The White Bone Black Snake raised his eyebrows. He did not remember this person in his memory.

In particular, although the opponent's Nascent Soul realm is stable, it is indeed at the early stage of the new Nascent Soul.

 In this case, it is not that big of a threat.

His eyes wandered past Han Zhan and landed on the majestic snow-capped mountains.

The former White Bone Dao Palace has been crushed into dust, with only the Moonlight Ice Castle standing on it.

The entire fourth-level spiritual vein that it relied on for cultivation, at this moment, countless spiritual energy rushed towards the Yuehua Ice Castle, and finally poured into the female cultivator on the ninth floor.

 His expression instantly darkened.

“Destroying my Taoist palace and occupying my spiritual land, you human monks have crossed the line!”

Han Zhan disagreed with this, "My friend used the precious land to break through to the realm of Yuanying. Whether he succeeds or not, it will be a trouble for fellow Taoists. When the time comes, she will send a generous gift as an apology."

 “A generous gift?”

 The White Bone Black Snake smiled ferociously, "What do you think I am?"

 While grinning ferociously, he had already slapped a hand.

Han Zhan did not panic and also struck out with a palm.

 The huge mana collided together in an instant, causing the snowy mountains to rumble.

 …

 “Han Zhan?”

 “The Supreme Being of Luoyun Sect!”

Thousands of miles away, Luo Chen’s expression condensed.

This is the first time he has seen the legendary new Yuanying Zhenren in the Jade Cauldron Territory. Although he is thin in stature, he is energetic and calm in the face of danger. His words and deeds have a fairy-like temperament.

 “Was he invited here specifically to break through the path protection for Master Canglong?”

While Luo Chen was guessing, the two Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses struck each other.

 Intense mana fluctuations spread out.

 In the hazy moment, Luo Chen could no longer see the two of them.

But he could clearly feel that the thunderclouds between the sky and the earth were getting thicker and thicker, and even a small group of thunderclouds suddenly formed, shrouding the man and the monster.

"not good!"

“The fight between the two involved Master Canglong’s breakthrough, and even the Thunder Tribulation was strengthened.”

“Even Master Han Zhan and the others will be affected by the thunder disaster.”

“In this case, I don’t know whether it is good or bad for Master Canglong to achieve a breakthrough?”

While Luo Chen was thinking, the two Nascent Soul masters seemed to realize something was wrong after they struck each other several times.

 The two of them subconsciously pulled the battle group farther apart.

 After reaching a certain distance, a sudden change occurred.

Among the mountains, five figures suddenly appeared, each holding a sharp sword and rising from the top of the mountain.

 A large misty formation suddenly took shape!

The moment the formation was formed, thousands of sword energies burst out, among which five sword lights of different colors shuttled back and forth like swimming fish, flying towards the White Bone Black Snake.

The roar of the White Bone Black Snake was as loud as thunder.

 “Sword array!”

"Do you think that by stopping me, that woman can survive the disaster safely?"

 “Wishful thinking!”

 While shouting angrily, the mountains seemed to respond.

One after another, tyrannical demonic energy rose into the sky and rushed towards Yuehua Ice Castle without fear of death.

　　Every evil spirit master has at least three levels!

Even among them there were several great demon kings who were comparable to those in the late Jindan period, and they launched an attack on Yuehua Ice Castle from a distance of a hundred miles.

 …

"not good!"

Luo Chen's expression changed when he saw a third-level demon king rushing towards Yuehua Ice Castle.

 His range is also within a thousand miles.

 I'm afraid that I will definitely encounter the Demon King when the time comes.

This is not just a pursuit at the level of the Seven-ringed Snow Python King.

The seven-ringed snow python is not very strong. Even because of its bloodline, it can invite some beings from the snake and python clan to flank Luo Chen.

But during the pursuit, these enemies were unable to unite immediately, so it was unsuccessful. Therefore, Luo Chen could dash from left to right, relying on his extraordinary escape speed to continuously escape from pursuit.

 But when the time comes, if this place is full of third-level demon kings.

As a human monk living among them, he is afraid that he will also become the first target of the suppression.

 You can no longer stay here for long!

Looking at the tall ice castle shrouded in thunderclouds in the distance, Luo Chen gritted his teeth.

 “Senior Sister Canglong, I’m sorry.”

“I am currently weak, but I cannot protect you.”

 “I hope you will have three flowers gathered at the top, five qi toward the Yuan, and success in the Yuan Ying Dao!”

Closing his hands into fists, Luo Chen flapped his wings and flew away, sticking to the ground and running away.

 The further you fly, the more monsters you see.

They are no longer limited to the level of the third-level demon king. Even the second-level and first-level demon beasts seem to have been summoned and are rushing towards the White Bone Dao Palace.

Luo Chen flew close to the ground, with green flames blazing on his body.

 Wherever you pass, there is a road flowing with blood and fire.

 …

 Half a month later!

 A huge green demonic cloud suddenly flew high in the sky.

While flying, it makes a violent cry.

The wind howled, and the dense forest in the mountains was driven to a crooked shape, making it a mess.

　　It has been a long time.

 In the dense forest below, among the roots of an old tree.

　　A figure walked out from the root of the tree, his aura completely gone, as if he was a piece of rotten wood.

 He raised his head and looked in the direction where the blue demonic cloud was retreating, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

“I finally escaped from the Snowy Mountains, but as soon as I entered the Guyuan Mountains, I was stared at by a third-order green eagle.”

 “Fortunately, such monsters are not so sensitive to breath.”

“Otherwise, I, Luo Chen, won’t be able to get rid of this monster so easily.”

This person is none other than Luo Chen, who made a big fuss in the Snowy Mountains not long ago.

 After escaping from the pursuit of the seven-ringed snow python, he sneaked all the way and entered the Guyuan Mountains.

Unexpectedly, because of the changes in Tianpeng's true form, he attracted the attention of Qingzhiying, who was also a flying monster.

fine!

Although these monsters are fast and very powerful, they are not that powerful at tracking breath.

He relied on Dzogchen's Breath Condensing Art and the Turtle Spirit Armor to quickly escape into the towering dense forest, and then constantly changed his breath, thus evading the pursuit of the young eagle.

But even so.

 His current state is also extremely bad.

Spiritual power is almost exhausted, and there is not much left of the surging energy and blood.

 The originally strong physique was no longer able to force the transformation of Tianpeng's true body under such circumstances.

 “This place is still not very safe, let’s find a place to recover first!”

Luo Chen looked around tiredly, then chose a direction with the weakest spiritual energy fluctuations and jumped away.

 What is used is not any magic, but the simplest Qinggong Xiaoyou.

 A figure appeared in the dense forest, and soon disappeared.

 …

 “Hey, it’s actually a cute little rabbit.”

“It’s a pity that it’s in the wild, otherwise it could be a shredded rabbit that the owner likes to eat.”

A muttering sound came from Bai Meiling's mouth.

 He casually shot out a stream of ghost energy, stunning the little rabbit who could be promoted to a first-level monster.

 Then, she walked around in a circle before quietly returning to the cave at the heart of the mountain.

As soon as she entered, a gaze that seemed to be substantial fell on her.

 “Master, you’re awake!”

Bai Meiling was not surprised, but leaned forward happily.

On the futon in the stone cave, Luo Chen nodded slowly.

 “How long has it been?”

Bai Meiling pinched her fingers, calculated and said, "You have been recovering from your injuries for a month."

 Has another month passed?

 Luo Chen murmured to himself.

 Spiritual consciousness swept over himself, and he couldn't help but sigh.

His current situation is a little better than before, but the improvement is limited. He has only recovered about one-tenth of his strength.

 At this time, let alone the third-level demon king, he may have difficulty dealing with even a late second-level demon beast. Just kill it, if it attracts the attention of other monsters...

After all, there are too few medicinal materials related to healing in the storage ring.

In the past month, Luo Chen has eaten all the ordinary Heqi pills and the best blood-increasing pills he carried with him.

 I haven’t taken the dust-reducing pill.

 He now needs blood-enhancing pills to restore his energy and blood.

 Otherwise, spiritual power alone would not be able to activate the third-level flying spell of Jiuwanli.

  Mentioned ninety thousand miles.

There was a look of pity on Luo Chen's face. The Lieyun Wing that was made by the monks from Bailian Mountain had been overwhelmed and was completely scrapped.

As a result, if he performs another 90,000 miles in human form, his speed may be reduced by more than half.

  It's only a little faster than the real cultivation of foundation building.

 It would be great if there was no subsequent escape!

Luo Chen shook his head and no longer regretted these things.

 In fact, there have been signs of this happening for a long time. Since entering the Snowy Mountains, Fu Jiusheng has mentioned the changes in the safe route more than once.

 Too many low-level monsters have moved outside from their original habitats.

Now it seems that these low-level monsters, who are born with a sense of danger, are aware of some kind of danger of extinction.

 And the source of the danger was clearly the thunder disaster caused by Master Canglong's breakthrough to Yuanying.

“Not only did she invite Master Han Zhan as a protector, but she also used Yuehua Ice Castle, the top-grade magic weapon of Zhenzong.”

“Not only that, the Heartless Fairy, Yin Yue Master, Bo Shuang…”

　　The names of the Ice Castle Golden Elixir monks were muttered out from Luo Chen's mouth.

If he had read correctly at that time, there would be a Golden Core Stage monk sitting on the first to eighth floors of Yuehua Ice Castle.

In order to break through the Nascent Soul stage, Master Canglong used all the sect’s secrets!

“I wonder if she succeeded?”

Luo Chen hopes that the other party will succeed.

Not only will Canglong have a big backer after he is successfully promoted to Nascent Soul.

 The other thing is that the other person is really a good person.

Among the many high-level monks he has seen, he is the only one who is kind to him.

 The other one is Haoranzi who has only two sides.

It's a pity that my condition was too bad at that time and my own strength was not enough, otherwise I would have helped a group of people and contributed a small amount.

 Get your mind back.

Luo Chen’s eyes fell on the first-order demon rabbit held by Bai Meiling. Its hair was shiny and its nose was red.

 Obviously still alive, just unconscious.

 Suddenly, something moved in his heart.

 “Give it to me!”

Bai Meiling handed it over skillfully and asked casually: "Does the master want to practice the magic of intimidation?"

In the past, she had done something like feeding monsters for Luo Chen in the cave, and then the other party would use low-level monsters from time to time to practice the secret skills of the soul.

At this moment, she thought Luo Chen was going to do something like this again.

However!

She didn’t know that Luo Chen’s attainments in the art of intimidating gods had already been perfected.

 Otherwise, he would not have instantly killed Xiao San and frightened You Sha and He Lianyun in the fierce fight in the cave.

Hands on the unconscious demon rabbit's ears, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

With a shake of his right hand, a wisp of green flame, like a lighter, slowly emerged from the tips of his slender fingers.

In his mind, he seemed to be back fighting in the cave. He was holding Xiao Sanren's head in his hand, standing high in the air, overlooking the scene of Yousha and Yousha.

 At that time, he burned Xiao Sanren’s head with the original true fire.

 At that time, something strange happened to him.

However, due to the special environment, there was no time to trace the cause and effect.

 What he has to do now is to try to reproduce that mutation.

“Humans can do it, so should monsters and beasts?”

Luo Chen pursed his lips, and the withered true fire slowly enveloped the demon rabbit.

 After being burned, the demon rabbit woke up instantly.

 A shrill cry came from the rabbit's mouth.

When Bai Meiling saw this, her expression changed slightly, showing a look of fear.

 “Preside over the formation well and don’t let the sound get out.”

Luo Chen gave simple instructions calmly and continued to slowly burn the demon rabbit.

 Gradually, an inexplicable force gathered towards him.

 Half a while!

Luo Chen brushed away the ashes, with a thoughtful look on his face.

 “Is that... vitality?”

 He could feel that the withering fire in his body, which had been refined into the true fire, seemed to absorb a strange power after burning the living beings.

 And this flame seems to have grown a lot.

 As it grew stronger, it also imparted a little bit of that power to Luo Chen.

 After being nourished by this power, some of Luo Chen's injuries recovered a little faster.

“Perhaps, this is the real magical effect of the Withering Fire?”

 While confused, he waved to Bai Meiling.

“Are there any other low-level monsters that have strayed into the confusion?”

Bai Meiling trembled and nodded quickly.

 “There are a few more!”

 “Give it all to me!”

 The second monster is a skylark.

Luo Chen used his spiritual power to activate the original true fire according to the law and slowly burned it. At the same time, he released his spiritual consciousness and opened his spiritual eyes wide, trying his best to observe and capture the emergence of that power.

 One, two.

 Three, four…

 Finally, after Luo Chen refined all the low-level monsters and wild beasts that had mistakenly fallen into the trap during this period.

 He confirmed that power!

It’s hard to say whether it can attack or not, but its power can indeed strengthen the Withering Fire.

 At the same time, a ray of vitality released from the moisture will also be absorbed by Luo Chen's body.

 His injuries are also getting better visibly.

"Wither and glory, wither and glory! Once withered, there will be another glory, refine the energy of others into your own body."

 “So vicious, yet so wonderful!”

Luo Chen's eyes were shining with an inexplicable light, and his sight seemed to pass through this simple cave and look towards the vast millions of mountains.

After a long time, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.

 “Too bold!”

 “In my current state, it’s better to be on the safe side.”

 “Let’s get out of the Guyuan Mountains first and then talk about it!”

“You can look for opportunities to refine some low-level monsters along the way, but it’s better to keep a low profile.”

 Luo Chen didn’t plan to fully recover from his injuries in the mountains.

 First of all, the environment is not suitable, and secondly, there are not that many materials on the body, so it is not suitable for large-scale alchemy.

His spiritual power is powerful, far beyond the same level.

 But similarly, if the spiritual power is too strong, recovery will be slower.

 If you want to return to your peak state, without the help of elixirs and high-grade spiritual lands, you don’t know how long it will take.

 During the Qi refining period, due to the automatic Qi recovery effect brought about by the improvement of Changchun Kung proficiency, the effect is not that great now.

 After making up his mind, Luo Chen no longer hesitated.

Let Bai Meiling get into the soul-nurturing flag, put away the formation equipment, and Luo Chen used the Breath Condensation Spirit Art. After gathering his breath, he calmly stepped into the Guyuan Mountains.

 …

 The Guyuan Mountains!

Luo Chen didn’t have much emotion when he revisited his old place.

  During his time in Dahefang, he rarely went in and out of the mountain from time to time like those demon hunters.

 At that time, his level was too low and his means were scarce.

He can barely master the fireball technique.

At this level, it is really too dangerous to go into the mountains and hunt monsters for a living.

Especially after he mastered alchemy and joined the Broken Mountain Gang, there was no need for this.

Even the relics of Taishang Jindan in Guishen Valley, which caused a lot of commotion back then, he suppressed his greed and did not get involved.

On the contrary, it was the Xiaoyue Mountains. He would occasionally go to the Changyin Mountains.

“The weaker the strength, the more cautious and timid one becomes.”

 “The stronger the strength, the more murderous intention arises, but I am getting bolder and bolder.”

 Recalling the battles after the foundation was established, Luo Chen was filled with emotion.

 Actually, some battles are unnecessary.

 With some fights, he may be able to do better.

Amid such moments of reflection and emotion, Luo Chen’s steps out of the mountain became faster and faster.

 One of the reasons for the increased speed is that he is familiar with the Guyuan Mountains. Even though he had not set foot in it personally, he had seen a large number of maps left behind by the Poshan Gang.

 Another reason is that he uses the Withering Fire from time to time to refine the captured first-order monsters.

 Absorb the vitality of the monster, allowing his body to recover and become stronger and stronger.

 The faster the physical body recovers, the stronger the strength will naturally continue to recover.

 His speed naturally changed from cautious and slow sneaking at the beginning to rapid advancement later on.

  Two months later.

Luo Chen stopped in front of a fork in the road.

 Actually, he also entered the Guyuan Mountains once during his Qi refining period.

 At that time, it was Miao Wen who brought him here personally.

It was also at that time that he discovered the remnants of the Mi family, and all of them were killed by Miao Wen. Except for Mi Li, no one in the family survived.

Luo Chen raised his head and looked at a high mountain.

It is a thousand feet high, but there are no clouds around it.

 This mountain is called Jueyun Mountain!

There are many monsters inside, including many second-level monsters.

It's an existence that the demon hunters of Dahefang don't dare to get involved in.

 With Luo Chen’s current strength, he naturally dares to find out.

 The reason that made him stand still was this mountain.

“The miniature metamagnetic valley must be in it!”

Luo Chen sighed.

 Now in his thunder treasure ring, there is a puppet lying there quietly.

That is a puppet made from Mi Shuhua's corpse.

“Now that you’re here, let Mr. Mi rest in peace and reunite with his people!”

With a thought in his mind, Luo Chen flew towards the mountain.

 While flying, the spiritual consciousness is released.

With his keen spiritual awareness, he quickly discovered powerful second-level monsters.

 Bloodthirsty crocodile, black swamp python, cloudless leopard...

Luo Chen didn't think much about these more vigorous monsters.

 He can be killed easily.

 But if something happens, it will not be in line with his original intention of returning home peacefully.

 After a while, Luo Chen followed his memory and arrived at the Yuanci Valley.

This was one of the many strongholds of the Poshan Gang in the Guyuan Mountains back then, and it was also a secret stronghold.

The reason why it is set up here in the Yuanci Valley is because it contains a trace amount of the power of Yuanci. The five elements are forbidden, the spiritual energy is thin, and any monster with a little intelligence will subconsciously stay away from this place.

Just when Luo Chen was about to descend the white clouds and enter the Yuanci Valley.

 A figure in his sight made him stop suddenly.

"Huh?"

 “Why is he here?”
