Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 564: Confusion in Taoist Heart, Demon in Transformation

“Teacher, do you think I will be able to form an elixir in the future?”

An anxious and confused voice came from the side. Luo Chen looked at the middle-aged man and frowned subconsciously.

Luo Chen didn’t put much thought into cultivating this named disciple.

 In other words, Luo Chen's own skills in teaching his disciples were not very good.

Whether it is his true successor Qu Lingjun or his descendant Zeng Yilong, Luo Chen’s guidance and instruction to them is more reflected in “putting it into practice”.

 This is also related to Luo Chen’s experience.

 Luo Chen has not done much in systematic theoretical study throughout his life. He basically relied on gaining proficiency step by step.

 Whether it’s alchemy, magic, or body training.

 In his view, practice is greater than theory, and only practice can reveal one’s true abilities.

"You are only at the seventh level of Qi refining, but you dream of the golden elixir road. Don't you know the truth of aiming too high?"

He seemed to have expected this answer?

 Seeing that the other party handled the medicinal materials for him and had great achievements in hard work, plus he had a certain talent in alchemy, Luo Chen felt a little pity for his talent, so he accepted him as a registered disciple, taught some basic alchemy skills, and occasionally corrected some mistakes.

 But in shock, he frowned and shook his head.

 The latter one is still a restriction imposed by Luo Chen on the other party.

Since he knows everything, it means that his life in the past thirty years has not been in vain. Why do you ask such nonsense?

 He didn't ask further questions, just looked at the other person quietly.

Luo Chen sneered, "Only when you have endured hardship can you become a master. If you don't experience pain and just dream about the future, isn't it better to aim too high?"

At this moment, the other party suddenly asked this question, Luo Chen was really a little stunned.

Luo Chen said displeasedly: "Since you know, why don't you keep your feet on the ground and do it step by step? Refining Qi to build the foundation, golden elixir Yuanying, this is how monks of our generation have always worked hard, and finally transformed into gods and ascended, and achieved the path of true immortals! Why? , do you still want to take the legendary Nine Transformations Golden Pill and become an immortal in one step?"

Xu Muxian lowered his head and looked at the grass under his feet that was moistened by spiritual energy and showing new buds. "Disciples also know this."

 “But what if there isn’t?”

 Finally learned one or two alchemy skills, and his status did not change much. It was not until he met himself that he had the opportunity to change his life.

Xu Muxian's eyes wandered, with a hint of admiration, "That's because you, my mentor, regard meditating day and night and practicing painful secrets as nothing more than leisure. You take pleasure in suffering. Many people, including me, cannot persist to the end."

Power, wealth, fine wines and delicacies, drinking here and there, showing off one's strength, and even not having to guard his beloved wife, but not being able to do that kind of thing.

 But, why is this happening?

Luo Chen was puzzled. Xu Muxian was quite motivated when he was a teenager when he met him back then.

After hearing these words, Luo Chen was filled with disappointment and had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Xu Muchian trembled, but pursed his lips and said, "I know."

 Luo Chen is puzzled.

Luo Chen snorted softly, "What does it mean to be meaningless, and what does it mean to waste one's time? The process of seeking the Tao is itself a meaningful thing."

"Compared with five hundred years of vicissitudes of life, one hundred years is just a blink of an eye." Xu Muchian said in a low voice: "Without the results of our efforts, the disciples only feel that they are in the world, suffering day and night."

“Teacher, I’m just thinking that if I have hope for the great road, I should learn from you and practice hard, and I will work hard every day.”

 He has discovered that as a registered disciple, he has talent but no firm determination to pursue the Tao. His future achievements can be seen at a glance.

Xu Muxian’s status as a registered disciple has greater symbolic significance than the inheritance of Taoism.

“My teacher enjoys the process, but what I want to see is the result.”

 Because of these experiences, he taught his disciples and often asked them to do it.

When he set out for Xuanyan Island, Cheng Haixin mentioned that he wanted to marry the Xu family and betroth the daughter of the Cheng family to Xu Muxian, which would also be regarded as winning over this rising star of the Feiyan Islands with unlimited potential.

This tone is a bit serious.

 Given the other party's current status, it is true that he does not need to practice pure and ascetic practices, but should enjoy a more relaxed and pleasant life.

 In the dull atmosphere, Xu Muchian clenched his fists, as if to embolden himself, and raised his head.

 He is just a sign erected by Luo Chen to protect the hearts of all the families in Feiyan Islands.

 At some point, the trembling of Xu Muchian's body had stopped.

“That doesn’t mean that tens or hundreds of years will turn into a handful of loess in the end and be in vain.”

What is the deep "master-disciple relationship" between the two?

That is nonsense.

As his thoughts flowed and he thought of this person's experience, Luo Chen had some vague realizations in his heart.

Luo Chen was afraid that the other party would be obsessed with men and women, destroying Yuanyang, and there would be no hope of building a foundation in the future, so he specially mentioned it.

 Born from a branch of the Xu family, he was not popular when he was young.

“In that case, why can’t I enjoy these years and do more happy and meaningful things. When I die, I won’t feel regretful that my years were wasted.”

Luo Chen disagreed, "If you don't go through the process, there will be no results. If you fantasize about the golden elixir road, you should go through the realm of foundation building, and you will have at least a hundred more years of life."

He stood quietly opposite Luo Chen. He was of average height and had low eyebrows, but he seemed to be calm.

 The same is true for Xu Muxian.

 The daughter of the Cheng family, Xu Muchian, abided by Luo Chen's rules.

 I had good intentions, but I didn’t expect...

　　Yes, after many years of hard life, after achieving something, you can't get wanton indulgence. I also saw that Cheng Dou, who had completed the foundation building process, failed to attack the golden elixir stage, and his way was destroyed, so he felt cowardly in his heart.

Luo Chen had some vague understanding.

 What about yourself back then?

 Taken together, after achieving something at each stage, there are actually some indulgent actions that soothe the mood.

 Build up power, gain great power, and have thousands of people at his command. He could cut down mountains and wipe out families with a single word.

Huiniang in colorful clothes, accompanied by two beauties, is favored by superiors and looked up to and respected by inferiors.

These experiences gave Luo Chen a sufficient sense of reward through his unremitting efforts in cultivation, so he never tired of it.

People need to see positive feedback!

 But many people do not receive enough positive feedback.

Xu Muxian's current situation is actually the norm for all low-level immortal cultivators.

 After realizing that the road is hopeless, choose to give up and do something comfortable instead.

 Travel around the world and enjoy the scenery.

 The branches and leaves are spread, and the blood is passed down.

If it weren't for the regulations of the Holy Land Sect, there are probably many Qi Refiners who would have wandered into the ordinary world and enjoyed an extremely luxurious life all day long.

 With wine pools and meat forests, there is nothing better than this to be enchanting!

Thinking of this, Luo Chen reflected on himself.

If you don’t have an attribute panel where you can see your proficiency improving all the time, what will happen in the end?

 Is it to indulge in low-level pleasures, or...

 Reflection, stopped abruptly.

Luo Chen laughed dumbly. Wasn't this hypothesis already demonstrated many years ago?

That was the first time he took Tongyou Dan.

 Enables you into dreams and increases your soul.

In such a dream, he had no system, but because he wanted to improve his alchemy skills and change his own destiny, he joined the Poshan Gang again and again, mining to earn spiritual stones to make alchemy... Until finally, he successfully made a pill that could change his own destiny. Wonderful pill.

Although in the dream, he was old and frail, and his energy and blood were declining.

  But with the alchemy technique at hand, even if the foundation building period cannot be achieved in the future, the cultivation environment can still be improved.

 The heart towards the Tao is rooted deep in the soul!

Xu Muchian stood there quietly, looking at his mentor who looked younger than himself, and he felt much more relaxed.

　Some words, if kept in your heart for too long, will make you sick.

 He has been practicing meditation recently and has been unable to enter samadhi.

Although he thought that his mentor might be furious, he was just unhappy. This situation already made him feel much better.

 It’s just that I may have disappointed my mentor!

Suddenly, a hand put on his shoulder and patted him twice.

 The man with a calm face and gentle eyes spoke slowly.

"I can't say whether you can form an elixir, but I know that five hundred years will allow you to see more scenery and enjoy more fun. The Feiyan Islands are just a small place, and staying here is just a waste of time. "The frog in the well."

“Don’t you want to jump out and see a wider world?”

 After saying that, Luo Chen closed his hands and left casually.

 In the end, he still didn’t solve his disciple’s doubts. He just gave the undecided opponent a future he could imagine.

Xu Muxian stood there, his expression still blank, but there was something vaguely murmuring in his mouth:

 “A broader world…”

 …

 After returning to his residence, Luo Chen felt a little regretful.

If the Ghost Mirror is still there, that would be fine.

With the illusion of mirror, flower, water and moon, you can easily choose a more suitable path for Xu Muchian.

I wonder if the other party will listen to me?

After hearing this, if you finally try hard but get nothing, will you resent your irresponsible teacher? Luo Chen just thought about these issues and then put them behind him.

 In the final analysis, he is just a registered disciple.

 …

As Xu Muxian said, a hundred years of time flies by in a blink of an eye.

Luo Chen's time in Feiyan Islands also passed quickly in his poor life of practicing and refining alchemy day after day.

 Three years passed by in a blink of an eye, as if it was just a trance.

 In the past three years, Luo Chen has made huge gains in storing pills.

Even though it was difficult to collect many medicinal materials due to the remote location of the Feiyan Islands and the different environments between the North Sea and the Eastern Wasteland, Luo Chen still refined many of the elixirs he had mastered through some improved methods.

 In the eyes of outsiders, he is a third-level alchemy master.

 But on the system panel, he is already a genuine fourth-level alchemist. He is familiar with scriptures, proficient in pharmacology, and has all kinds of alchemy skills at his fingertips.

 For first-level and second-level elixir recipes, even if there are no suitable medicinal materials, he can find replacements through repeated experiments.

  Bigu Pill, Tongyou Pill, Jade Dew Pill, Emperor Liujian, Fanxing Pill, True Flame Pill…

　Three years later, Luo Chen’s pockets were full.

The price is that the major families in the Feiyan Islands are miserable and their resources are squeezed to the limit.

 But it is the people who dare to get angry but dare not speak out.

 The power of the devil cannot tolerate provocation!

 …

 This day.

 Cheng Haixin sent an invitation!

In the palace, Luo Chen looked at the gilded invitation with a look of surprise.

 “No wonder there is such a ten-year period.”

On the invitation, there was clearly the time and place of a large-scale auction, as well as the names of some carefully marked precious materials.

This invitation was brought back from outside by the Feiyan caravan, and was specially ordered to be delivered by Wu Qi of Wushen Island.

Cheng Haixin explained from the side: "Feileng City is located on Lengguang Island. Lengguang Island is the largest super island in the southeastern part of the North Sea. It has countless cities and various forces."

 “Overall, this place is a neutral zone.”

Luo Chen was puzzled, "Neutral? Shouldn't it be under the jurisdiction of the Canghai Alliance?"

Cheng Haixin shook his head, "That's not the case. As the largest city on Lengguang Island, Feileng City is the most powerful among the many forces. The city owner, Fairy Feileng, had an old relationship with a Yuan Ying Zhenren from the Yuan Mo Sect in his early years. Only with the real person of Yuan Mo Sect can she monopolize Feileng City. Therefore, even if the Demon Sect is destroyed, in the eyes of outsiders, she still belongs to the remnants of the Demon Sect...the lineage of the Demon Sect's legacy. In the early years, the Canghai Alliance tried to accept the other party, but was met with failure. until the other party refuses.”

 “Didn’t Mo Luo Liu recruit her?” Luo Chen asked.

 “Also refused.”

Luo Chen was a little surprised.

In today's chaotic Beihai, if you don't stick together to keep warm, but stay independent and independent, isn't this a way to die?

 Suddenly!

 He came to his senses.

Feileng City, which has always been calm and undisputed, suddenly held a super auction in the current situation, bringing together forces from all parties. Isn't it sending a signal?

 A signal called "choice"!

 Through this auction, the Lord of Feileng City is likely to fall to one side.

Maybe it’s the Canghai Alliance, maybe it’s the Mo Luo Liu, or it’s other top Nascent Soul forces.

But no matter which side they are on, they are all very keen to have one more Yuanying Zhenren in their family and take control of Lengguang Island, the largest island in the southeast!

 This signal should have been released a long time ago.

Mo Luo Liu has also been preparing for this for a long time. Only then did Wu Qi set a ten-year period, and the Blood Nightmare Demon Luo came to Feiyan to find Luo Chen.

“In other words, if I go there, I’m very likely to encounter people like Blood Nightmare Demon?”

Luo Chen murmured in his heart.

 He is not too afraid of dealing with Master Yuanying.

Still, the excellent alchemist, unless he meets the jealousy, is spicy when he goes.

Moreover, since he is now in the Golden Elixir stage, he will not be forcibly recruited by Mi Shuhua and used as a tool during his Qi Refining stage.

Luo Chen was a little moved when his eyes fell on the invitation card. The names of the materials were so densely packed.

 From above, he saw more than a dozen auxiliary materials needed for the Ying Jie Dan!

You should know that Feiyan Caravan has been collecting medicinal materials for Jieying Dan for him over the years, but the harvest has been very little.

 Not to mention scarcity, some common ones are also expensive and cannot be afforded by Monk Feiyan’s family.

 Even said that for some materials, not only spiritual stones but also "qualifications" are required.

 If you don’t have a high level, you don’t have the qualifications to come into contact with it, let alone buy it.

“Master, are you going?”

Cheng Haixin asked cautiously, but he already had the answer in his heart.

Over the years, Demon Lord Qingyang has been refining elixirs extensively, and many of them are not what he needs. After all, they are just preparations for his long journey.

 In other words, the other party has decided to leave.

As expected, Luo Chen nodded slightly.

 Cheng Hai understood clearly, but another issue was more important.

“Master, if you go, will you come back?”

Luo Chen's eyes fell on her and asked, "Do you want to go with me?"

 “I…” The woman hesitated.

 “Go down first, I have something else to do.”

Cheng Haixin showed hesitation, but finally he bowed and said, "I take my leave."

 After she left, Luo Chen sighed.

If the other party really wants to go with him, that's fine, he won't mind it being a burden.

 On the contrary, because Cheng Haixin has taken care of trivial matters for him over the years, she already knows some of his habits. After being taken away, she can continue to help him with trivial matters.

But it is obvious that the other party has family problems, so he may not be able to walk away easily.

Luo Chen didn't take it to heart. Without Cheng Haixin, with his methods, it would not be difficult to have a second Cheng Haixin.

At the moment, there is another important matter that needs to be dealt with.

With a flip of his wrist, a dazzling, gold-plated pill appeared in his hand.

Listen carefully, you can even hear the faint sound of a baby crying.

 It is the Transformation Pill!

Three years in Cangwu Mountain, Luo Chen finally refined a furnace of Transformation Pills, five in total.

 Four of them were given to Youquan, the master of Duzhen Palace, and the last one was kept by him in the name of research.

These kinds of elixirs are rare but hard to come by.

Even if Luo Chen has mastered it and has the means to batch refine it, he cannot reproduce it.

 No other!

 Main material is the biggest limitation!

 The main material of the Transformation Pill is the original essence and blood of Zhenren Yuanying!

He, Luo Chen, has no ability to collect the most precious essence and blood of Master Yuanying.

 After getting the Transformation Pill, Luo Chen's mind moved and he sent out a message.

After a while, a strong wind swept outside the palace, and at the same time, there was a lazy sound that sounded like someone had not woken up.

"Tianxuan, can you please be gentle and destroy the master's flowers and plants? Be careful of being scolded."

“I want you to take care of it, you’re a big fat snake, you sleep all day long, but you still have the nerve to talk to me.”

 “Haha, little girl.”

 “Are you looking for a fight?”

 “Come, let’s try it with your Black King. I, the Black King, am not afraid of you now.”

 “I’m afraid you won’t succeed, so I’ll take the time to go to the sea and see if I don’t beat you to pieces.”

With the noise, a gull and a dragon shrank in size and stepped into the hall.

Before he could speak, the two demons' eyes subconsciously fell on the golden elixir.

　　　Gudong!

　　　Gudong!

 The clear and audible sound of swallowing saliva came from the throats of the two demon kings.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, held up his hand, and the Transformation Pill slowly flew in front of the two of them.
