Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 542 Let’s go! Basalt sea area!

 Yaoyue Island.

The young man in the moon-white Taoist robe, his hand movements are flying like swallows, and his magic power is surging like the tide.

 Under his full control, the medicinal materials poured into the giant cauldron were as numerous as the stars and flowers.

 Such a huge workload, and he alone can control it without anyone's assistance, you can imagine how difficult it is.

 It is rumored that those alchemy masters often have to prepare for a long time when carrying out such large-scale alchemy.

 And when refining, there will be various formations, many low-level alchemists, and even other talents who specialize in skills to assist.

For example, when refining Yingying Dan in Qingdan Valley, five major third-level alchemists, thirty experienced second-level alchemists, and a large Qingdan combined refining formation were prepared in one go. Under the auspices of a fourth-level alchemist, the Yingying Dan was refined.

Luo Chen now wants to carry out such an initiative with one person's efforts, which is simply fantastic in the eyes of the world.

Only Luo Chen himself knows that he has the corresponding basic conditions.

Whether he has perfected all the basic alchemy techniques of each department, or has perfected the refining techniques of the True Flame Pill, it is enough to support him to this step.

 In particular, the Hunyuan Cauldron, the most precious treasure of alchemy, is a natal magic weapon that he has painstakingly cultivated for many years, and can be controlled as he pleases.

 Any changes within it can be captured immediately.

Because of various reasons, he took this step.

 It is also a last resort to enlarge the alchemy cauldron.

But for this kind of large-scale alchemy, those small cauldrons of one or two feet cannot be satisfied.

 It’s just that this makes it difficult to cover up many things.

certainly!

There is no need to cover up!

 Here he is the king!

It doesn't matter to him if someone spies on him with one move or two.

 In terms of preaching and teaching, Luo Chen has always been quite generous.

Whether it was when Dahefang was in its decline or when Tianlan Fairy City was rising, except for the core aspects of what he had learned, he was usually not very stingy and was willing to share the secrets.

 Anyway, after others learn it, they will have their own understanding and then introduce new ideas.

 He came back from middle school and relied on the proficiency function of the attribute panel to practice to the peak.

From this in and out, he is the biggest beneficiary.

 The refining work on the island is proceeding in an orderly manner under the control of Luo Chen.

The increasingly scorching high temperature gradually radiated, forcing the pharmacists on standby to stay away.

 At this high temperature, space seems to become distorted.

Thousands of monks looked at the man in the sky who was scolding Fang Qiu and moving smoothly with every move, and the meaning in their eyes also changed a lot.

  No longer as simply afraid as before.

Rather, there was a bit more respect.

 A person with great skills, no matter how sinister and cunning he is, no matter how domineering his actions, others will respect him more for his skills.

but.

Some sharp-eyed people also noticed Luo Chen's constant changes in expression in the seemingly distorted air.

　　Sometimes he was happy, or he frowned in confusion, sometimes hesitantly, sometimes he made rapid progress, and in the end, every pinch seemed particularly dignified.

If some people didn't feel that they were dazzled, they would even wonder if there was sweat on Demon Lord Qingyang's face.

 Some people are discussing these details.

But no matter what, as time goes by, Luo Chen's alchemy progress has been slowly advancing at an unquestionable speed.

 One day, two days, three days…

 The monks by the lake came and went, left and returned, dispersed and gathered again.

 Except for some who are sincerely interested in alchemy, it is naturally impossible for the rest of the people to stay and watch.

But such a long alchemy time consumes a huge amount of mana and places a heavy burden on the soul, as anyone can imagine.

It is precisely because of this that the monks of Feiyan Islands respect Luo Chen more and more.

 Until this moment, they finally felt the power of Luo Chen without experiencing a battle!

 That is a gentle display of heritage!

 Naked, yet majestic!

 Finally, half a month later.

As a long roar came from Shili Pinghu, countless golden waves exploded, and everyone's eyes were focused on the same place.

In mid-air, a young man in a white robe and a red face held a green-skin gourd in one hand, plucked the gourd with the other, and shouted:

 “The hundred pills are ready, right now.”

"out!"

 The next moment, streams of light flew out from the Hunyuan Cauldron like meteors.

Each one of them is bright red like agate, reflecting each other, and they are like meteorites rolling back into the sky, flying towards the young man.

The man pointed out his fingers frequently, just like an immortal picking up the stars and the moon, putting the meteors into the green gourd.

 One, two, three...at first glance, they seem to be countless.

But the perception of immortal cultivators is so keen, without Luo Chen covering up, the foundation builders quickly counted the number.

 There are four hundred and twenty-seven pills in total!

Such an amount shocked the entire audience.

 The grade of each elixir is maintained at the top grade level.

 The rich fragrance of red pepper fills the sky and the earth.

Even the spiritual plants on the island experienced slight changes under the rich red fragrance.

 Some water-based plants become listless and dull.

 Some fire plants spread their branches and leaves, as if they are taking a big mouthful of fragrance.

Smelling the fragrance of those elixirs, the foundation-building cultivators by the lake looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes!

 More than four hundred third-level high-quality elixirs!

Not to mention its effect, if calculated based on the normal market price of the Beihai Immortal Realm.

Just for a third-level low-grade elixir, a bottle of ten pills would cost at least 3,000 spirit stones, and a medium-grade elixir would cost twice as much.

 If it’s top grade…

  Sorry, there is a price but no market!

This kind of elixir usually only appears in large-scale auctions, high-level black markets, and even barter transactions among high-level monks.

If you really want to give me an amount, one bottle would cost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones!

If calculated this way, Demon Lord Qingyang's elixir refining in the past half month would require 100% of the consumables and cost 300,000 spiritual stones. In the end, more than 400 elixirs were produced, all of which were top grade and sold for around 500,000 to 800,000 yuan.

 After deducting the cost, in other words, in half a month, Qingyang Demon Lord earned between 200,000 and 500,000 yuan.

 No, no!

He has no cost at all, and the medicinal materials are sent to him for free from every household.

 In other words, he is making pure profit!

 After calculating the account clearly, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their eyes were full of greed.

However, when Luo Chen glanced over with a pair of gentle eyes, everyone seemed to be rained down by ice rain, and their greed disappeared.

 Are you kidding, that’s Demon Lord Qingyang!

Who dares to take his idea?

But even so, they finally saw the huge profits from the pills! I have seen the alchemist’s ability to seize wealth!

 There’s nothing much to say. After returning, you must try your best to train your own alchemist.

Even if he cannot reach the level of Qingyang Demon Lord, what if he can be half as good as him?

Then don’t you still make a lot of money?

The crowd stood on the shore and lingered for a long time.

On Yaoyue Island, the nine-foot giant cauldron has shrunk.

 And the figure of Demon Lord Qingyang has long since disappeared.

Threads of white mist puffed out from the island and gradually filled the ten-mile flat lake, covering the small island in the middle of the lake.

 …

 Qingyang Hall.

Luo Chen walked to the front of the hall with slightly vain steps.

Before he entered, laughter erupted from a soul flag leaning next to him.

 “Luo Chen, are you sweating profusely?”

 This statement is not without reason.

Since he had to concentrate on refining elixirs, it was naturally impossible for Luo Chen to maintain the qi-nurturing skills he had practiced for a long time.

 That's why he was "lost" in the eyes of many monks.

Luo Chen rolled his eyes and said confidently: "Fortunately, everything is within my calculation!"

Han Zhan smiled and did not expose him.

Luo Chen paused in his steps, and his eyes seemed to see through the soul flag, the remnant soul of Han Zhan hidden in it.

 He hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped in without speaking.

 Because of that hesitation, Han Zhan also fell silent.

Just when Luo Chen entered the palace, he whispered: "Congratulations!"

Luo Chen hummed and said that he was going to have a good rest and not to let others disturb him. Han Zhan naturally took note of it.

This rest lasts three days and three nights.

After waking up, Luo Chen rubbed his head, still feeling groggy and bloated.

This is the sequelae of refining a hundred pills together.

 It is a great challenge for any alchemist's spirit to process so many medicinal materials at one time and to control so many medicinal liquids to form elixirs at the same time.

 Even if Luo Chen thinks that his current divine soul is inferior to any middle-stage golden elixir monk.

 But even a middle-stage Jindan monk would find it difficult to complete this kind of challenge!

 Luo Chen was able to succeed, and his rich and terrifying experience in alchemy played a huge role.

 In the sleeping palace.

Luo Chen had a look of pity on his face.

 It would be great if Tongyou Dan can still work.

 Unfortunately, there is no if.

 After forming the elixir, he did not take any more elixirs related to his spiritual soul.

There is no other way for the growth of the soul except the tempering of years, the improvement of realm, and the slight improvement of "dust elemental art".

 This is also the reason why Luo Chen hesitated when he looked at Han Zhan.

Luoyun Sect, good at puppetry and proficient in the method of refining gods!

As far as he knows, the three skills and two techniques of the Luoyun Sect were obtained by the ancestor of the founding sect from a secret realm. If you practice them for a long time, your soul will become stronger and stronger.

It is precisely because of this that the Luoyun Sect monks can control a large number of puppets with higher realms than themselves, and achieve the unprecedented challenge of transcending levels.

If he can learn the three skills and two skills from Han Zhan, he will definitely be able to make up for his "shortcomings" in this area.

 But obviously! How can one easily accept the inheritance of one sect?

 After hesitating, he did not speak.

 Lest the other party refuse, which would only cause embarrassment to both parties.

After feeling regretful, Luo Chen adjusted his mood and took out the green gourd from the storage ring to do some calculations.

 Four hundred and twenty-seven top-grade True Flame Pills!

 This amount is far from what was expected.

 According to the success rate of each stage of proficiency level, after he reaches Great Consummation, he can achieve a 50% success rate in refining high-grade elixirs.

 With the help of the natal magic weapon, the success rate will definitely increase.

 Let alone six or seven hundred, it should be kept above five hundred.

 But the final result was about four hundred...

 After a slight silence, Luo Chen came to a conclusion.

 It should be the first time to practice Baidan Qi, so I am not familiar with it yet. After all, with so many medicinal materials being processed at the same time, it is inevitable to be in a hurry, and it is not unreasonable to sweat profusely.

 Just come back a few times and get familiar with it.

 Put away the green gourds.

Luo Chen opened his mouth again and spit out the Hunyuan Cauldron, observing it carefully.

 Finally, he nodded with satisfaction.

 It is worthy of being one of the three major alchemy cauldrons in Qingdan Valley. It can be used for daily alchemy refining to cultivate its quality.

 A hundred elixirs are refined together at once, a large amount of elixir energy is integrated into the cauldron, and the power of fire is unparalleled.

 Some mineral materials that had not been refined in the past have also begun to be completely integrated into the cauldron.

 Half a month's work is especially extraordinary, half a year's hard work!

"If possible, if we continue like this, for up to ten years, the Hunyuan Cauldron may be able to be cultivated to the extreme, remove all impurities, and reach the limit of a top-grade magic weapon."

"There is no such thing as a top-quality magic weapon. Otherwise, based on the foundation of my magic weapon, it would be of the highest quality by birth. If all impurities are removed, it will become the best!"

Happily, Luo Chen put away the Hunyuan Cauldron.

 Continue to make alchemy?

That is of course impossible.

 His soul cannot hold on, and his mana also needs time to recover.

 Let’s rest for half a month first.

Of course, this half month cannot be wasted.

 Before departure, many things must be prepared in advance, not just the cultivation of elixir reserves.

 After washing up, Luo Chen first had a hearty meal under Cheng Haixin's service, and then while his body digested the huge amount of blood food, he read books about Beihai's customs and customs.

 Reading is a good habit he has maintained over the years.

Even in the unfamiliar territory of Beihai, he did not fall behind under certain conditions.

 Many things require practice to experience them personally.

  But there are also many things that can be understood in advance by reading books written by predecessors.

 When you actually encounter it, you will be able to deal with it calmly.

 The so-called broad knowledge and rich experience are not limited to traveling thousands of miles. Reading thousands of books is also a "shortcut".

After reading the "Chronological History of Feileng City", Luo Chen went to the side hall again.

 “Senior, I’m here to learn the formation again.”

 In the ghostly side hall, a three-inch figure flew out.

Han Zhan looked at Luo Chen in surprise, "Have you completely mastered all those first-order formations?"

Luo Chen smiled casually and waved his hand.

 A variety of basic materials suddenly floated out of the storage ring. As he placed them according to specific trajectories and injected mana, streaks of light suddenly shone on the ground.

 First-order fire gathering array!

 It’s not that complicated.

But it is really surprising to be able to arrange it like Luo Chen, without any smoke and fire, and with flowing clouds and flowing water.

Han Zhan was surprised, took a deep look at Luo Chen, and then waved.

"come in!"

“Although I am not a top formation master, I can basically master all the formations from the first to the third level at my fingertips, and I also have some knowledge of some formations at the fourth level.”

“Your foundation is very solid, and you are at the golden elixir stage. It shouldn’t be difficult to get started by learning basic formations at all levels.”

 Han Zhan, the Supreme Shang of Luoyun Sect.

 Except for the Nascent Soul stage, he majored in Puppetry and minored in Formation.

 The combination of the two resulted in the Liangyi Five Elements Sword Formation that put the Ao Howling Wolf Emperor into quite a panic!

Luo Chen’s formation foundation originated from Min Longyu, who was later taught by Fu Jiusheng for a while.

Now that he has Han Zhan as his companion, it is impossible for him to let go of the opponent's formation.

Luoyun Sect's three skills and two techniques are inherited from the sect, and he can't get them.

But Han Zhan will not be stingy with these common formations.

If you can master them one by one, it will be of great use to Luo Chen, whether it is practice or fighting.

 For an ordinary person, being able to push one thing to the extreme is already a genius.

If you minor in other skills, even a genius like Han Zhan can only get an evaluation of "a little bit of proficiency".

 Ke Luochen is different!

He has a proficiency panel in hand. Under the current situation where alchemy has reached a point where he can no longer make any progress, he can minor in formations, and he is very confident that he can master it to a profound level.

Moreover, he discovered it a long time ago.

 The art of formation lies in copying.

The so-called copying means repeating it over and over again, which is exactly the true meaning of the proficiency panel.

 Luo Chen is looking forward to it!

Perhaps one day he will become a formation master.

 …

 half a month later.

 Ten miles across the lake, the white fog dispersed again.

The nine-foot giant tripod stood on the small island in the middle of the lake again.

 This time, most of the monks who came to watch were reduced.

 But among the crowd, there were many young monks in the Qi refining stage.

 Obviously, this is an opportunity that various monks plan to use to watch Luo Chen's alchemy, trying to train their own alchemists.

 In this regard, Luo Chen did not expel him very much.

Just before making the elixir, Cheng Haixin and Xu Muxian, his named disciple he had taken over these years, were told to observe carefully.

 Then, it’s the same process as before.

 It's just that this time, Luo Chen was relatively calm, and he didn't have the same dilemma as the first time, with sweat on his face.

 What’s new once is fresh, but the second time is familiar!

 The so-called refining of a hundred elixirs together is nothing at the level of Dzogchen proficiency.

Like this, half a month later, it was the familiar scene of collecting pills again.

Even though everyone had seen it once, they were still surprised the second time, and many people even showed expressions of admiration.

 …

 Half a month to refine elixirs, half a month to rest.

 Time passed little by little, and after six months, the inventory of medicinal materials collected by Feiyan Islands for Luo Chen was finally exhausted.

 And Luo Chen’s reserve of True Flame Pills has reached an unprecedented 3,500 pills!

 As for why so many?

 The reason is that after the third time, he controlled the success rate to more than 50%!

 Even, for the fourth time, five hundred and fifty pills were obtained.

 The fifth time, five hundred and ninety.

 The sixth time, six hundred and thirty pills were made.

 In conjunction with the previous inventory, the total is 3,500 pieces!

 It is only natural that the subsequent results are so gratifying.

Luo Chen is familiar with the process of large-scale alchemy and understands the essence of it. With the auxiliary effect of the Hunyuan Cauldron in increasing the level of the elixir and the number of elixirs produced, it is natural that he has achieved such fruitful results.

 At this point, the elixir reserve has been successfully completed.

Then the next step is to go out and find that special place to refine the Black Emperor's ointment to assist in body refining and practice.

 …

 This day.

 At Feiyan Pier, seven monks bid farewell respectfully.

Cheng Dou, seeing more and more vicissitudes of life, carefully gave instructions to his old man Cheng Ji, and sometimes glanced at Luo Chen with a bit of joy.

Luo Chen was about to leave, and before leaving, he lent Yaoyue Island to him for him to sprint to the golden elixir stage.

 This is something I have longed for.

 "Qing Yang Dan Canon", after several years of practice, it is close to a small success.

With the help of the third-level spiritual vein land, and with the perfection of his foundation-building stage, the golden elixir stage is just around the corner!

Cheng Haixin stood beside Luo Chen with some worry.

“Is it necessary to go to the black rock sea area?”

Luo Chen glanced at her, and the woman lowered her head and stopped trying to persuade him.

 In my ears, there was only Luo Chen’s faint instructions.

"Although Xu Muxian's alchemy skills have reached a certain level, the foundation is still not very solid. The elixir recipe I gave him is quite complicated. You should provide him with all the medicinal materials provided by various families and let him practice more. One or two.”

"In addition, the Cheng family plans to marry a woman to Xu Muxian, and I have no objection to the marriage. But before establishing the foundation, her Yuan Yang cannot be destroyed."

“Finally, I asked you to collect the Starry Pill medicinal materials, and you must also hurry up.”

 Cheng Haixin nodded, keeping these things in mind one by one.

She asked in a low voice: "Do you want to continue to inquire about the three medicinal materials?"

“Yes, keep asking, and be sure to inform me if there is any situation. If you can capture it, capture it. If you can’t capture it, wait until I come back!”

 “I remember it!”

 At this moment, there is no nostalgia anymore.

Luo Chen glanced at the Cheng family monks, the young man Xu Muchian who was staying at the dock, and the Feiyan cultivators in the distance, and smiled slightly.

 Jumped onto the Cheng family's monster hunting boat.

Cheng Ji, the experienced navigation master of the Cheng family, shouted, "Let's set sail!"

 The big ship started slowly, and under the water, five blue-ringed giant-tusked sea snakes were surrounding it.

There was even a dark and thick black dragon. After a roll, it splashed countless waves and rushed at the front of the monster hunting ship!
