Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 466 Hunyuan Baoding, Danxia Alliance

Tao Wan left.

 As the head of a sect, she actually has a lot to do.

 The sect provided her with spiritual land, helped her form elixirs, and even prepared her natal magic weapon in advance.

 These kinds of things are not free.

Handling various trivial matters for Qingdan Valley is the price she has to pay.

 In this way, it will naturally take up a lot of her cultivation time.

However, for every drink and peck, you will naturally have to pay a corresponding price.

She was very envious of her elder brother Dan Yangzi who could now devote himself to cultivation and study alchemy.

I also have sympathy for Luo Chen, who is always willing to spend money and travel around to form alliances.

 When there is no power and no support from elders.

 Some people are born to work hard.

 Comparatively speaking, her life was actually much better than Luo Chen's.

 That's why she occasionally showed admiration for the other person.

 Even under the protection of the sect, I find it troublesome to do things.

How difficult it is for the other party to reach this point as a casual cultivator.

Luo Chen himself is not that self-pitying.

　　He is now at a time when the spring breeze is triumphant and his ambition is full.

Although he has to meet with various Jindan monks in person recently and has to carefully consider his words and conversations, he has long been used to this kind of thing.

 The realm of Jindan stage really gave him a lot of confidence.

At least!

 There is no need to pay obligatory salute to every Jindan cultivator and always call him a master.

No, just after sending Tao Wan away, he fell into a wave of verbal praise again.

"Brother Luo, you have really become a golden elixir monk. If my grandfather knew about it, he would probably be so surprised that his eyes would fall out."

 In the small courtyard in the mountain, Chen Shuyi looked at Luo Chen with admiration.

 The grandfather she refers to is naturally Chen Laodao who set up a stall with Luo Chen back then.

The other party passed away at the end of his life fifty years ago.

 Finally lived ninety years.

 At this age, among Qi Refining monks, life is considered short.

However, it was also expected.

The other party made a living by making talismans in his early years. In order to earn more spiritual stones to support his granddaughter’s practice, he also learned the skill of making talisman skins.

That talisman skin is not just paper bark, but animal skin!

How can one not live a short life if one is in that kind of environment all year round?

　At that time, in Dahefang City, he was only over 60 years old, but he was already very old. After a lot of trouble, I traveled thousands of miles to the Talisman Realm.

 When I got there, I set up a stall and resumed my old business.

 In the end, unfortunately, he died at the end of his life.

Perhaps, for him, the only gratification is that he saw his granddaughter successfully build the foundation before his life expires!

Luo Chen felt melancholy as he missed his old friend.

 In a daze, it seemed that the noisy scene of setting up a stall together was still before my eyes.

 He shook his head and held out a jade bottle.

 “This is it?” Chen Shuyi curiously took the jade bottle.

Luo Chen smiled and said: "A bottle of Jade Dew Pill may help you break through the third level of foundation building and enter the middle stage of foundation building."

Chen Shuyi's eyes lit up and she hugged the jade bottle tightly.

Seeing her like this, Luo Chen was puzzled.

“The Shenfu Sect is the Yuanying Sect after all. Is the supply of elixirs in short supply?”

Fu Xiuxiu on the side sighed, "It is precisely because we are the sect of Yuanying that we have many disciples! There is great competition within the sect, and it is even more difficult to get ahead. Xiao Shuyi was in her forties to build the foundation , he is excellent for casual cultivators, but he is mediocre within the sect and does not receive any preferential treatment.”

"Didn't she inherit Chen Laodao's talisman-making skills? She can always..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Chen took the initiative to stop talking.

 Character making technique?

The most indispensable thing for the Shenfu Sect is the ability to make talismans.

Even within the Talisman Realm, it is estimated that the business related to Talisman and Seal Script is basically taken care of by the Talisman Sect and the large and small families in the sect.

 It is not Chen Shuyi’s turn at all.

If you deduct the other party's foundation building, you have to go out to take turns to do local business, take care of the sect's industry, etc.

 Chen Shuyi has already worked very hard to reach the peak of the third level of foundation building.

 This is how you practice in a top sect.

 Resources are limited, opportunities are also limited, but competition is unlimited.

Luo Chen looked at his old friend lovingly, and then looked at Fu Xiuxiu.

“Sister Xiuxiu, you are quite good. Now you are a great monk at the seventh level of foundation building.”

The other party left Dahefang for more than eighty years.

　Now he is only over a hundred years old.

 It is possible for Jindan to reach this state!

Fu Xiuxiu shook her head, "It's just that I took advantage of my physical fitness. In addition, I successfully built the foundation in the second year after joining the sect, so I was valued by Mr. Ye and included me in the door. This is how I achieved this state. Comparatively For you, it’s nothing.”

 She said it lightly, but the hard work involved is probably not easy either.

With Luo Chen’s knowledge, he naturally understood Fu Xiuxiu’s physique.

It is a rare Jiangze body. Although it is not as good as Li Yingzhang's nine-turn body, in daily practice, his spiritual power is like the water of Jiangdi Lake on the bank of Daze, which is quite pure.

 That’s why the other party dared to forcibly build the foundation without the foundation-building pill.

 Even if you fail, you can still save your life.

Luo Chen also took out a bottle of high-quality Jade Dew Pill and gave it to the other party as before.

Fu Xiuxiu was too embarrassed to accept it, "We didn't even send you a gift when you formed the elixir, so how can we accept it from you?"

“It’s not a gift, it’s just a token of your kindness. And if you bring that Taoist friend Ye Xiang here to congratulate me and strengthen the reputation of our Luo Tian Sect, it’s a great gift!”

"Master, he was passing by Tianlan on the way. He heard me mention you, and he just came to see you out of curiosity."

Seeing Fu Xiuxiu's refusal, Luo Chen's expression straightened, "When you gave me the moonlight grass, I accepted it without hesitation. Now it's just a bottle of elixir. For me, a well-known alchemy master in the world of immortality, It’s nothing at all. Sister Xiuxiu, do you still want to refuse?”

Fu Xiuxiu opened her mouth and had no choice but to accept it.

Looking at the other person stroking the jade bottle, Luo Chen sighed in his heart.

 The two women have different personalities now than they did then.

 Come to think of it, within the Shenfu Sect, we are also walking on thin ice, and life is quite difficult.

 Especially in the following conversation, after he knew the purpose of the other party's visit, he verified this idea even more.

 Starting a war is both a risk and an opportunity.

 Those who have a substantial net worth will naturally not take this risk.

 In other words, Fu Xiuxiu, Chen Shuyi and the others, who had little background, volunteered to come to the front line to earn money for cultivation.

Especially Chen Shuyi got this spot because of Fu Xiuxiu’s credit.

 Yes, you also need a quota to go to the battlefield!

 From here, we can also see how fierce competition among sects is.

"It seems that we are in the same boat." Luo Chen said with a smile.

 Fu Xiuxiu was curious, "Are you also going to participate in the opening up war?"

 Luo Chen nodded.

 Chen Shuyi on the side was puzzled, "Brother Luo, you are now a famous alchemist. There are many people who want to fawn over you, so why take the risk again."

Luo Chen sighed, but didn't explain much.

 Fu Xiuxiu squeezed Chen Shuyi's hand to stop him from asking any more questions.

 She knows that under any scenery, there are unknown troubles.

Not to mention anything else, the Danxia Peak at your feet, which is only a first-level spiritual land, is simply not worthy of Luo Chen's realm.

The other party's demands are very great, and the scenery in front of others and behind others can't be compared with the improvement of spiritual practice, which is real.

 After a pleasant conversation, Luo Chen said goodbye and left.

 Before leaving, he took Gu Caiyi with him to reminisce about old times and quietly communicated.

“Select two high-quality, low-grade magic weapons from the warehouse and deliver them to them before they leave tomorrow.”

Gu Caiyi was puzzled: "Will they lack magic weapons?"

"Short!"

With Luo Chen's keen sense, he can naturally judge whether Chen Shuyi has the aura of a magic weapon on his body.

Moreover, he knew very well that the Jade Cauldron Realm and the Divine Rune Realm were completely different.

 In other words, it is different from other realms of cultivating immortals.

 Because of the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Tianfan City, the Jade Cauldron Territory is flooded with inferior magic weapons.

 Other cultivation areas have their own overlords to suppress them, and Tianfan City is not allowed to mess around like that.

Even if it is a low-quality magic weapon, its destructive power is far greater than that of the best magic weapon. For the foundation-building cultivator, it is a sure-fire killer weapon.

It is even said that the opening war that affected the twenty-seven sects was probably fueled by Tianfan City.

  After all, the quality of the magical artifacts will be used for hundreds of years, passed down for hundreds of years, and mended for another hundred years.

 How to consume without going through war? How to update?

Without damage, how can a super casting sect like Tianfan City profit from it?

As his realm rose, Luo Chen's vision broadened, and some of his previous so-called guesses were now confirmed.

In his opinion.

The Luoyun Sect's raid on the Yan League when the war was about to end was most likely the result of Tianfan City's instruction.

The other party is well-informed and knows that the appearance of the relics of the God Transformation will inevitably attract monks from the Mingyuan Sect of the Holy Land.

 As long as the powerful men from the Holy Land arrive, the civil war in Yuding will naturally not be able to continue.

Then, with the mediation of the Holy Land, the conflicts between the human race are transferred to the outside world, and a war of expansion is bound to take place.

In this way, eliminating the Yan League, which is also a founding sect, in advance can create a better environment for Tianfan City's subsequent profits.

In Luo Chen's opinion, this guess is probably true!

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect did not go to rescue the Yan League, but turned around and attacked Qingdan Valley.

 The two sides are obviously engaged in a tacit war of understanding.

 Each of you will eliminate the party that threatens you.

The tacit understanding here is not only the tacit understanding between Luo Yun Sect and Jian Sect, but also the tacit understanding between Jian Sect and Tianfan City.

 To reach this position now.

 Luo Chen can already take a peek and judge the situation of Da Zong and Shang Zong.

 The only thing that still eludes him is probably the scale of this war.

Although the Xiaoyue Mountain Range is large, it far exceeds the Yuding Territory.

 But it will not be as powerful as using the twenty-seven sects.

 He previously thought that Master Canglong had some plans on the other side of the ice castle.

But Master Canglong failed to conceive a baby, so it was naturally impossible to set up another banner and hold a pioneering war at the same time.

It was precisely this doubt that made Luo Chen make the decision to form an alliance among the three families!

There are many monks but little porridge. If you want to get a piece of the pie, you have to have certain strength.

He even felt that the strength of the Luotian Alliance was still a little weak, so Luo Chen continued to maintain friendly relations with the major Jindan sects such as Ice Castle and Qingdan Valley, just in case.

 …

 While waiting for the three-party alliance in half a month, Luo Chen was not idle.

 He was studying the iron slip given to him by Tao Wan.

Perhaps it’s because Luo Chenzhong has a reputation for keeping his promises, or maybe it’s because he has a close relationship with Qingdan Valley.

 This time's cooperation, Qingdan Valley is very generous.

Before Luo Chen actually helped refine the Yingying Pill, Tao Wan handed Luo Chen the iron slip recording the natal magic weapon in advance.

  When it comes to the natal magic weapon, Luo Chen is naturally interested in it.

  Dongfuzhong.

Luo Chen looked at and caressed an empty iron slip, and his spiritual consciousness emerged and covered it.

 Soon.

  Simple fonts emerge one by one.

 “Hunyuan Ding…”

 According to Tao Wan, there are three casting methods for natal magic weapons such as elixir cauldrons in Qingdan Valley.

They are Hunyuan Ding, Liangyi Ding, and Glazed Ding.

The Qingtian Glazed Cauldron, which is now famous in Qingdan Valley, was cast using the glazed cauldron casting method. It was cast by the ancestor of the Chuang Sect, and it was cultivated to the level of a top-grade magic weapon before the other party was enthroned.

After so many years, generations of disciples and disciples in Qingdan Valley have continued to refine it, and the grade has not been lost, and the power has become even more outstanding. Each of these three types of alchemy pots has its own magical uses.

Like the glazed cauldron, once it is cast, the level of the elixir will be strengthened, and it can often exert incredible effects in the hands of the master of the magic weapon. It is often possible to refine higher-level elixirs across levels.

 For alchemists, it is definitely the best choice among all!

 The method of casting such a treasure would naturally make it impossible for Qingdan Valley to give it to Luo Chen.

However, the Hunyuan Cauldron is also quite extraordinary.

 Hunyuan—Chaos becomes one, the beginning of vitality!

 It’s all-encompassing, it’s all-inclusive!

 The concept is very lofty.

The real situation is naturally impossible. Not even Yuanying Zhenren or the Great Transformation God can say such big words.

However, when implemented, it is quite pertinent.

The advantage of the Hunyuan Cauldron is that if the alchemist uses it as his natal magic weapon, the cauldron can be used to refine almost any kind of elixir.

 In the world of immortality, there are countless elixirs, and naturally there are countless methods for refining them.

 The refining of many elixirs has completely different requirements for alchemy equipment.

 Most of the mainstream elixirs are based on ordinary alchemy equipment.

  However, some powerful elixirs have very high requirements for alchemy equipment.

Or it must be an instrument with a certain attribute that must be pure, such as an alchemy furnace that cannot contain other attributes and only needs to be cast from metal-based materials.

Perhaps you cannot use utensils containing metal substances, but must use innate things or accompanying things to wrap and refine them.

There is even the so-called method of refining elixirs from living beings, which uses living beings as containers to refine elixirs.

 Such as various, extremely strict.

 Luo Chen just didn’t have enough realm before, and he didn’t have many types of elixirs to refine, so he hadn’t encountered this kind of thing before.

 But as his level rises and he continues to walk on the path of alchemy, he is likely to encounter this kind of situation.

 The Hunyuan Cauldron can solve this problem!

 As long as the requirements are not extremely perverted, Hunyuan Cauldron can basically satisfy them.

  In other words.

If Luo Chen really builds the Hunyuan Cauldron, he will not need to bring other alchemy equipment to make alchemy in the future.

 In addition, Hunyuan Cauldron also has some side effects.

 Such as the ability to suppress, the ability to defend, etc.

 These are incidental.

at last!

 That is a common advantage of the three tripods of Qingdan. You can use the alchemy energy to upgrade!

Monks have been refining elixirs all year round, and their bodies will be contaminated with a little amount of elixir energy.

 In fact, there is more alchemy energy remaining on the alchemy equipment!

 For this kind of alchemy, alchemists often clear it out, otherwise too much accumulation of miscellaneous alchemy will affect the refining of new elixirs.

This is why, every time Luo Chen finished refining the elixir, he would ask the people below to help him clean the elixir furnace.

 Alchemy is harmful!

However, the Three Cauldrons of Qingdan did the opposite, absorbing various residual alchemy energies, thereby promoting the upgrade of the magic weapon.

 It sounds a bit incredible, but Qingdan Valley has indeed done it.

Their ancestral magic weapon, the Blue Sky Glazed Cauldron, has been passed down for many years and can still maintain its grade because it is often taken out and allowed to be made by alchemists of all sizes in Qingdan Valley. Then use the remaining elixir energy to nourish the treasure tripod!

“If I use the Hunyuan Cauldron as my natal magic weapon, in addition to daily alchemy and fire sacrificial refining, combined with my frequent alchemy refining times, I will definitely be able to quickly increase the level of the magic weapon.”

“Such advantages are indeed far superior to other magic weapons.”

  No wonder it is said that the alchemist’s natal magic weapon is best to use alchemy equipment.

 Not to mention the offensive and defensive capabilities, the advantages of quick refining and rapid level improvement are enough to cover other shortcomings.

Just after reading the iron slips a few times, Luo Chen had already decided to make this treasure his natal magic weapon!

 The above description is really tempting!

“However, there are too many materials needed to cast this thing.”

Luo Chen murmured.

  The reason why the Hunyuan Cauldron can satisfy the requirements for refining most elixirs, and even has effects such as suppression and defense, is naturally not something that can be achieved with just ordinary materials.

Luo Chen scanned the items with one glance, and his eyelids twitched at the names of those who cherished the materials.

  Geng metal, black amber wood, cold marrow, fire drill, and sui mud.

 The five main materials are all materials that start at least level three!

Moreover, from the properties of the main material, we can also see why this magic weapon is called "Hunyuan Ding".

 Metal, wood, water, fire and earth are complete, isn’t it just that the elements are in harmony!

In addition, the list of auxiliary materials is also staggering.

 Hybrid Iron, Black Lead, Quicksand Fine Gold, Soft Thunder Sand, Black Luo Gold, Copper Fine…

 Finally, the iron slips also recorded that it would be best if minerals with various attributes such as heaven, materials, earth treasures, wind, thunder, ice, and darkness could be added.

After Luo Chen studied it, he probably understood why the more precious minerals added, the better.

  It is to achieve the so-called "Hunyuan" meaning.

“An ordinary golden elixir cultivator would probably spend his entire life unable to collect them all.”

“This kind of material requirement can only be achieved by a wealthy person.”

“It is indeed a magic weapon tailor-made for alchemists!”

Alchemy master, a person who is extremely rich.

Luo Chen is a famous alchemist, and with many battles and seizures, he is naturally quite wealthy.

Even though he doesn’t have many spirit stones on hand now.

However, when building the foundation, Luo Tianhui did not allow Luo Tianhui to dispose of the resources related to the mineral materials in consideration of refining the natal magic weapon after forming the elixir.

At this moment, he was counting the materials list of Hunyuan Cauldron one by one.

 Five main materials.

He has a piece of Geng gold.

 Black driftwood, missing.

Han Marrow, he has two bottles of Ice Soul Cold Marrow. During the elixir formation ceremony, the Heartless Fairy gave them to him on behalf of the Ice Castle. Not only can it meet the needs of water-based mineral materials, it also contains ice properties.

 The Fire Spirit Diamond is missing.

 Su Ni, he actually had three kilograms on him, which he had traded from Fei Ming in order to heal Murong Qinglian's broken hand. However, it only took two taels of mud to heal Murong Qinglian, so after giving the other party four taels, there was still a lot left on his body, which was enough to meet the needs of the Hunyuan Cauldron.

“So, as for the main materials, I only lack black amber wood and fire drill. In addition, the quantity of Geng gold is a bit low, so I have to find a way to get more.”

"As for the auxiliary materials, although there are many types, based on my accumulation over the years, I am actually not short of much. For the missing parts, I can also ask the Luo Tianzong monks to collect them for me."

“Treasures from heaven, materials and earth, wind, thunder, ice and darkness...I think it is to satisfy the deficiencies in other attributes besides the five elements.”

“I have accumulated a large amount of Tongxuan Heavenly Crystal in my body. This is a fourth-level mineral material. It is extremely suitable for refining magic weapons and can be regarded as a heavenly material. Earthly treasures... Where can I find earthly treasures?”

The "treasures of heaven, materials and earth" recorded on the iron slips are naturally not treasure resources according to common sense.

 It represents the literal meaning of "Heaven Materials" and "Earth Treasures".

Tongxuan Tianjing is a well-known natural material in the world of immortality.

It can integrate various materials with different properties and make them communicate mysteriously.

Not only that, Tongxuan Tianjing even has a hint of growth potential.

If you use this as the main material to cast a natal magic weapon, the upper limit of the magic weapon can be increased!

 In addition, Tongxuan Tianjing, as a fourth-level mineral material, has many wonderful uses.

 Aeration, melting, absorbing spirit, removing dirt, etc.

It is precisely this, that is why there is a saying of "Heaven Crystal".

At that time, Fei Changqiu, the master of Shengong, used a piece of Tongxuan Tianjing as the price to persuade Zuo Song of Tiejian Hall to help him in his boxing.

 The last piece of Tongxuan Sky Crystal fell into Luo Chen's hands.

Over the years, Luo Chen has seized many trophies and collected a lot of them one after another.

"Let's start little by little. At least in terms of thunder minerals, I have eighteen thousand-year-old thunder yings. At this point, I can surpass 99% of the golden elixir monks."

 The drawing of the natal magic weapon is now available.

 Most of the auxiliary materials can also be collected.

 As long as you collect all five main materials, you can refine it.

 The other rare materials are just the icing on the cake and increase the upper limit.

and!

 In order to cast the Hunyuan Cauldron, in addition to the materials, you must also master several formations.

 Otherwise, even if the materials are smelted together, it will only be the embryo of the magic weapon.

As for the formation, Luo Chen plans to engrave it and give it to Min Longyu to study. He will also study a few things himself.

Not only that, he also planned to learn the art of casting from Duan Feng.

 Even if it’s just a basic introduction.

 Otherwise, there will definitely be a big problem when the magic weapon embryo is refined with the Withering Fire.

 After some calculations.

Luo Chen couldn’t help but sigh:

 “There are so many things to do!”

"Although starting this war is an opportunity for me, it also wastes a lot of time. I just hope it ends as soon as possible."

 As for starting a war, Luo Chen did not expect any chance of Nascent Soul.

 He only wants a large piece of third-level spiritual veins.

  It can be used both as a place of cultivation and as a residence for the Luo Tian Sect.

 …

Luo Chen carved out several formations needed to cast the Hunyuan Cauldron and gave them to Min Longyu for study.

 He himself also went to Duan Feng and briefly learned the art of casting.

 With his current level, it is actually very simple to learn a skill.

 In other words, for most high-level monks, it is not difficult to learn a certain mass cultivation technique from scratch.

The difficulty is only limited by talent. You cannot go further or delve deeper than those who have talent.

 Coupled with the pressure of longevity, high-level monks often only practice one or two immortal cultivation skills.

Luo Chen didn’t expect to have any big achievements in the art of casting.

 But for the simplest processing of mineral materials, you still need to understand the fusion characteristics.

 Duan Feng would naturally not refuse his needs.

Not only did he give all his money to teach him, but he even gave Luo Chen a copy of the rubbings of various casting classics he had collected over the years.

in addition.

Luo Chen also handed over the list of various mineral materials he needed to Sima Huiniang, and asked her to order the Luo Tianzong monks to collect as much as possible for him.

Even if you cannot buy it, you should try your best to pay attention.

 In this way, half a month will come in a blink of an eye.

 This day.

 At Danxia Peak, the five golden elixirs gather together!

Fifth Qi, Jiang Yu, and Cen Qiusheng, who came with the Cen family monks, immediately focused their attention on the middle-aged man with a red face.

 Fu Jiusheng!

The rare scattered Xiu Jin Dan in Xianxian Realm comes from the Medicine King Realm.

 In the past, he was a well-known herbal collector.

Fifth Qi and Cen Qiusheng had met him before at Luo Chen’s elixir-forming ceremony and told each other about their past experiences.

 What does it mean that he appeared at the alliance meeting at this time?

“Do you want Fellow Daoist Fu to join the Luotian Alliance?” Wu Qi couldn’t help but ask.

 Fu Jiusheng looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen did his part and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Fu is now our guest of Luo Tianzong, so of course he will be a part of this alliance!"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Qi, Jiang Yu, and Cen Qiusheng looked at each other.

Although this alliance is dominated by Luo Chen, even the name of the alliance is "Luo Tian".

 But they mostly wanted to use the name of Luo Chen, the master of alchemy, to act.

 After all, alchemy masters are still highly respected in the world of immortality cultivation.

  When it comes to fighting, there is often a three-point courtesy.

 Borrowing a name is one thing, but in terms of dominance, Fifth Qi and the others still want to play with it.

But now, Luo Tianzong has Fu Jiusheng, the guest minister of Jindan, who is on par with their Wind and Rain Villa.

 This dominant position is said...

While they were hesitating, Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

“Why, don’t you three welcome Fellow Daoist Fu to join us?”

Thanks to the reward of 100,000 starting coins from the Six Brothers, I became the fourth alliance leader in this book!
