Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 544 Black Emperor Paste Tempered Body, Third-Level Overlord Crab

Tianxuan Island is the name Luo Chen gave to this nameless island, which originated from Tianxuan fighting gull.

The little things here are not worth mentioning. What deserves Luo Chen's attention is the spiritual vein deep in the island.

 It's small, but the texture is quite good, and it can enter the third level.

It is no wonder that the Tianxuan Fighting Gull ignored the danger and forcibly settled in this black rock sea area.

 Deep underground, the Xuanhuo Sword burst out with sword energy and kept cutting.

 After half a day's work, an underground cave that was two feet high and several feet long and wide was formed.

Looking at this simple and rough cave, Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction.

However, if you want to live here for a long time, this alone is not enough.

The fingertips were filled with light, and small flags flew out from the storage ring and shot to every corner of the cave.

Finally, Luo Chen turned his wrist, and a compass appeared in his hand.

 Looking around, Luo Chen finally came to the middle of the cave.

 “The earth’s energy circulates with this as the center.”

“The spirit-gathering array is properly established here.”

With a slight smile, the compass slowly seeped into the depths of the ground.

At this moment, everything is ready, all that is left is the east wind.

Luo Chen took out a dozen more middle-grade spiritual stones and embedded them into the bottom of the small flags. He pinched several spiritual secrets with both hands and gave a low shout.

"rise!"

 In an instant, layers of auras bloomed in the cave, and they were colorful and gorgeous.

As Luo Chen fired his last spiritual art, under the control of the formation, those gorgeous spiritual lights slowly disappeared. On Tianxuan Island, wisps of white mist quietly appeared.

 Because it was early in the morning and the sea fog was filled with water vapor, the white mist was not very eye-catching.

When the sun rises high, the white mist will gradually fade away, leaving only one or two traces.

Han Zhan in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner watched this scene silently, feeling that his heart was shocked again.

 “Is there really a genius in this world?”

“Not to mention alchemy, these formations may seem basic, but each one in Luo Chen’s hands will always show a different kind of power!”

 No wonder he was so shocked.

 The Spirit Gathering Formation is also a general formation that is not divided into grades. The specific grades are always derived from the formation materials.

 The better the materials and the more willing you are to buy spiritual stones, the more spiritual energy you can gather.

Luo Chen's haphazardly arranged spirit gathering formation, in his opinion, was even more ingenious and exquisite than himself.

Not only can it gather a larger amount of spiritual energy internally, but it can also change with the local environment externally without showing any abnormality.

From Han Zhan's point of view, with Luo Chen's talent in formation, as long as he is willing to spend time, he estimates that he will have nothing to teach him in at least ten years.

 In the soul flag, Han Zhan's remnant soul was condensed into a three-inch figure with the help of ghost energy, and he shook his head helplessly.

With such a great talent, it would be a pity to be a casual practitioner.

If you are in a sect, whether it is refining elixirs or setting up formations, there is a great hope that you can become a master and help a sect grow and prosper!

Luo Chen doesn’t know the psychological activities of people traveling with him.

He briefly felt the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave. It was still the third-order low-grade, but it was only one step away from the third-order mid-grade.

 If you are willing to replace the middle-grade spiritual stone with a high-grade spiritual stone, you can break this limit.

 But obviously, it’s not necessary.

He himself didn’t have many middle-grade spiritual stones. He counted his current net worth before setting off. He found that there were thirty-five high-grade spiritual stones, two thousand medium-grade spiritual stones, and very few low-grade spiritual stones.

 All in all, his net worth is only around half a million.

 It can be said that this is the poorest period of time for Luo Chen.

no way!

 When he started the war, he spent a lot of his savings in order to cultivate the Snow Langping spiritual land he conquered.

 When you come to Beihai, you can basically only get out of it.

 This spiritual stone is made one piece at a time.

“I wonder if the spiritual land of our Luotian Sect can be preserved after the Battle of Tianguyuan?”

Luo Chen sighed, and those familiar figures appeared in his mind.

 He shook his head and took out something from the storage ring.

 Wooden frame, medicinal materials, stone mortar, small mill, guillotine... Finally, the Hunyuan Cauldron fell to the ground.

 Where the Hunyuan Cauldron landed, he added a few more fire-proof bricks and arranged a simple fire pit according to the methods Fei Ming told him.

In this way, this cave finally had some life.

 Coming to a large stone bed specially left for this purpose, Luo Chen took out the quilt and thin blanket.

“Let’s have a night’s rest and start the official hunt for monsters tomorrow!”

Having been traveling for a month, searching for land for half a month, and fighting a third-level demon bird, my mind has been tense.

Have a good rest first, and sharpen your knife before chopping wood. Luo Chen still understands this.

 …

 “Is this the famous Blue King Crab?”

On a deserted island, Luo Chen stood on the shore, looking at the giant crab that was knocked unconscious by the black-scaled dragon in the shallow sea and dragged up step by step.

 It was two feet in size, and its whole body was green, as if covered with moss.

It is obviously huge in size, but for some reason, it gives people a weak and slender beauty.

Within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Han Zhan replied: "There are many races of demon crabs in the world, but the Blue Emperor Crab race is famous for its softness. Even with our human race's aesthetics, we don't know how beautiful it is."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "I don't know whether it's beautiful or not, but a monster crab of this size is a treasure, so we can't waste it."

Han Zhan was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled.

 Indeed, we really can’t waste it!

Luo Chen took out the Hunyuan Cauldron and patted the cauldron. Several flaming red chains suddenly emerged, tying up the blue emperor crabs and pulling them into the space in the cauldron.

After putting away the Hunyuan Cauldron, he looked at the black-scaled dragon lying helplessly in the sea and gave instructions:

“Continue to catch nearby monster crabs, preferably second-level ones, first-level ones are also acceptable. In terms of race, except for the nine-clawed poisonous king crab, the rest are acceptable.”

"If you encounter a third-level Crab King, avoid it if you can. If there is danger, ask Tianxuan for help."

 When he said this, he pointed to the top of his head.

 A sacred blue bird is circling this desert island.

The black-scaled dragon glanced at Tianxuan Fighting Ou and curled his lips.

It won’t ask for help from its natural enemies!

 The previous battle on the island really hurt it.

After giving all these instructions, Luo Chen hurriedly left the deserted island and quietly returned to Tianxuan Island.

 After entering the cave.

Dang!

 The Hunyuan Cauldron landed on the ground, and a spiritual light spit out.

Suddenly, a big green crab came into view.

　　This collection and release has already awakened it.

At this moment, it was looking blankly at the person and flag in front of it.

 “You come first, or me?”

"You go first, the Black Emperor's anointing needs to be refined alive, and I will take the remaining soul later."

“Okay, please help me cover up a little bit so that my voice doesn’t spread.”

This second-level blue emperor crab couldn't understand what the human was saying. It only knew that something bad might be about to happen.

as expected!

The human being, holding a stone mortar, walked toward it.

 In the other hand, there is a huge brush.

 The brush was stirred in the stone mortar and covered with white liquid. Then, under the control of mana, it began to be applied along the carapace of the big crab.

 That way, it’s like painting a wall.

 After a while, the blue crab shell was completely covered with white paint.

At this moment, the Blue Emperor Crab felt a numb and tingling sensation.

That feeling is like pain coming from the soul.

Its eight crab claws kept shaking on the ground and scratching its own back.

 Once, twice...

 Finally, in extreme madness, he forcibly removed his carapace.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen nodded calmly.

 “The flesh and blood are shed by themselves, but the spirit is not lost.”

 “The overlord removes his armor, but still retains his power.”

 The essentials of refining Black Emperor's Paste came to mind one by one.

Luo Chen raised his hand, and the huge carapace floated into the Hunyuan Cauldron.

 Glancing at the armorless giant crab howling in pain on the ground, Luo Chen said casually: "Let the seniors take care of the rest."

Han Zhan did not respond.

 But on the soul flag, streaks of black air flew out, enveloping the blue emperor crabs.

Gradually, a complete soul of the monster beast was pulled out, and blended into the soul refining flag in its unwilling howl.

 In this way, this soul refining flag has a second-level demon soul.

 Given time, it may be possible to regain the majesty of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, or even take it to a higher level! After doing all this, Han Zhan turned his attention to Luo Chen who was refining the elixir.

 Unknowingly, Luo Chen was already halfway through his movements.

 A strange smell filled the cave.

 When he smelled this smell, Han Zhan couldn't help but sigh.

 “As expected of a master of alchemy!”

 “The first time I refined the third-level Black Emperor Paste, I had no difficulty and finished it in one go.”

 The main material of the second level is refined into the third level Black Emperor Paste.

as expected!

When Luo Chen took out a large jar and began to guide the liquid in the Hunyuan Cauldron to flow out, the wisps of sticky dough-like slurry were undoubtedly the Black Emperor Ointment that Han Zhan was most familiar with.

Judging from its quality, it is around the third-level low-grade product.

It is also one of the best finished elixirs of Luoyun Sect’s chief alchemist Mu Yunyan.

 After completely collecting the Black Emperor's ointment, Luo Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Silently glanced at the attribute panel in his mind.

 【Introduction to Black Emperor Cream 12/100】

  Entry-level proficiency, being able to succeed the first time is indeed a good start.

 Next, he can try out how much this plaster made by himself can help his body tempering.

However, before that, there is a little thing that needs to be dealt with.

 He turned back and glanced at the blue king crab on the ground.

 No armor, no soul.

The flesh and blood body that should be full of life is just a walking corpse at this time.

 “The demon pill can’t be wasted.”

 A demon pill the size of a dragon's eye was taken out.

 “flesh and blood…”

Luo Chen sighed. Without the carapace and the soul, such flesh and blood cannot absorb much vitality even if it is refined with the True Fire of Withering Rong.

 But it must not be wasted.

 So, we can only eat it!

 His eyes finally fell on the eight huge crab claws, especially the two largest claws.

 For a moment, Luo Chen really didn’t know how to deal with this thing.

“No matter what, just put it away first. Even if you sell it later, it will still be a high-quality weapon-making material, and some people will pay a lot of money to buy it.”

In just half a day, the blue king crab was deboned and skinned, and its blood and marrow were sucked out, making the most of it.

Even the remaining internal organs, intestines, stomach, and gills can be given to the black-scaled dragon and Tianxuan fighting gull later.

 The former is not afraid of toxins and prefers flesh and blood.

 The latter especially likes to eat crab hearts. They often catch monster crabs and discard all their essence, only to eat the crab hearts.

If Luo Chen's treatment was known by the king of the Qingdi crab family, he was afraid that he would be furious and could not wait to remove Luo Chen's bone.

 But it was obvious that Luo Chen didn't care.

 He only cares now about how much the effect of Black Emperor's ointment on body refining can be increased.

 In the cave that was isolated from the inside and outside, Luo Chen took off all his clothes.

 Use magic power to smear the black, still warm plaster on all corners of the body, even the private parts that you usually don’t pay much attention to, so as not to leave any coverings on the body.

 Subsequently, the "Convergence of Ten Thousand Daos", which was close to the Great Perfection, began to operate.

 The fire inside the body is raging, and the plaster outside the body is moist.

 A burnt smell wafted out.

 A few hours later.

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the rough skin on his body, he frowned at first.

 Then he took out the Xuanhuo Sword and gave him a light chop on his arm.

 There are traces of blood emerging.

 But when it touches the body, there is indeed a slight sound of gold and iron.

“Today’s physique is not able to physically resist magic weapons, but it is obviously evolving towards this trend.”

“And I’m still in the middle of the third level of ancient times, so there’s a lot of room for improvement.”

 “Heihuang ointment is very powerful!”

 “I took the right step!”

 After coming to this conclusion, Luo Chen gave himself a cleansing spell and then put on his coat.

 When he walked out of the separated cave, Han Zhan looked over.

 “What’s the effect?”

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said, "If you want to see results, there will be a long time to come, so don't rush it."

Han Zhan is clear.

  In other words, it does have an effect.

 This also confirmed his guess.

Black Emperor Ointment was originally the top body-tempering elixir!

That is to say, the requirements for monks to use it are too high. Without strong physical conditions and the will to endure severe pain, they cannot use the Black Emperor's Paste to temper their bodies at all.

Normally, the Luoyun Sect monks mostly use it on puppets that have no sense of pain.

Even so, other miscellaneous materials must be added to ensure rigidity and toughness.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan hesitated for a moment, but still reminded: "Luo Chen, it is easy to break if it is too strong."

Luo Chen hummed.

He naturally knows the medicinal properties of Black Emperor Ointment.

 Take the carapace of monster beasts and use it as medicine to develop a domineering body, the most powerful and powerful one!

 The disadvantage is that it is not flexible enough.

Puppet is naturally easy to handle, just add some materials to increase toughness.

 But in the monk?

Luo Chen thought about it and smiled casually.

 The huge vitality that he absorbed through refining and refining with the Koro Rong True Fire strengthened the body's ability to recover.

 In a sense, this can also be regarded as increasing resilience.

 “Let’s do it step by step!”

 …

The days of living in seclusion on Tianxuan Island continued calmly.

Day by day, the variety of monster crabs sent by the black scale dragon to Luo Chen became more and more complete.

 He also saw the five royal demon crabs in the so-called basal sea area.

The King Crab has the strongest fighting power, and its double claws are terrifyingly powerful, making it indestructible.

The Blue Emperor Crab is "extremely beautiful". When it appears, it is often chased by other monster crabs.

 Red rock crabs are rare and have always been found in deep-sea volcanic ravines. Occasionally they come ashore in groups to bask in the sun. Black-scaled dragons dare not provoke them at all.

The Demon Spider Crab is the most terrifying. It looks like a crab, but its body is full of eyes and it can spin silk.

 At first glance, they look no different from spiders.

Once the black-scaled dragon encountered a third-order demon spider crab, and almost didn't make it back. It was the Tianxuan fighting gull that flew down from the sky and snatched it away, which saved his life.

However, the magic spider crab also has advantages.

The meat was so delicious that Luo Chen couldn't forget it after eating one of the first-level ones. He repeatedly warned the black-scaled dragon not to let it go if he encountered a low-level devil spider crab.

 Black scale dragon, I’m so wronged!

 This day.

Luo Chen was practicing in the cave when he suddenly heard a rapid scream coming from outside.

"What's wrong?"

 Han Zhan, who was staying outside, responded.

"It's Tianxuan. Judging from its tone, Hei Lin is in big trouble."

Luo Chen frowned, then put on his clothes and walked out of the cave calmly.

　　Leap and fly high into the sky.

Tianxuan Fighting Gull supported it with its elegant back, set a direction, and flew over.

It is only a thousand miles away, but at the speed of Tianxuan Fighting Ou, it will arrive in a blink of an eye.

From a distance, Luo Chen saw the specific situation.

In the deep sea, the black-scaled dragon showed its huge body of thirty feet, causing wind and waves, and the waves surged wildly.

 But at this moment, it looked extremely embarrassed.

 Because a giant monster crab, waving its giant claws, was chasing it crazily.

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up.

 “Level 3 King Crab!”
