Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 589: The old story of the jade tripod, Han Zhan explains his doubts

 When the sun rises.

The red tide of Hongchao Harbor has gradually faded away, and only the warm glow of the sun shines on the sea, making it a pale golden color.

 At the dock, it became busy early in the morning.

At that time, the war between good and evil was intensifying, trade routes everywhere were cut off, and the waterways were unstable, so it was not suitable for business.

 However, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

 In today's current situation, the prices of various resources have soared. Once a business is completed, the profit will be higher.

 Therefore, as one of the nearby transportation points, there were several merchant ships docked at Hongtide Port early in the morning, eager to set off to various places.

 A small merchant ship with a blue and white emblem printed on it, parked there leisurely in the midst of a busy schedule.

 Although he is in a sailing posture, he is unhurried and gives people a leisurely feeling.

 “Past events?”

Han Zhan’s voice came into my mind.

Just before leaving, he paused, turned around and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, I think I still need to remind you."

“What do you mean, am I interested? It’s obviously your kid who is interested!”

I will also ask from time to time.

After giving instructions for a long time, the drugstore shopkeeper finally looked at the woman standing behind Luo Chen.

It doesn’t matter how the situation changes in the future!

 Change it!

His face was pale and without a trace of blood, and his body was so slender that it looked like he could be blown over by a gust of wind.

“What’s wrong? The monk only has an interest relationship with you, not any friendship. You don’t usually have such a superficial relationship with him?”

Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little disappointed.

 “Let’s go!”

“However, the scope of our caravan trade in Langya Mountain is only limited to the Giant Whale Port of the Canghai League. If you want to go to the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, you will have to find another way.”

But it is obvious that the shopkeeper of Langya Pharmacy is only in the late stage of Qi refining and has never traveled far in his life.

If it really changes like that, how can he, a mere monk in the late stage of Qi refining, stay out of it?

"However, this fellow Taoist Murong has extraordinary vision and knowledge, and he can think of such far-reaching things."

Shopkeeper Wang stood by the dock, looking dazed.

 Under the boat, an old man was talking carefully to a young man with a sallow face.

He doesn't have many years left to live. Whether he will be able to see that scene is still a matter of doubt.

 Speaking of this, Luo Chen suddenly became interested.

With a sigh of relief, the shopkeeper walked back to the town with his hands behind his back, under the awed eyes of some mortals.

"Well, when I was still in the Qi refining stage, I lived in a large city. At that time, I was running around for training resources all day long, and I got to know many shopkeepers. Later, because of the battle between the Luoyun Sect and the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, Dahe Square quilt…”

“This ship is very fast, but its long-distance navigation ability is very poor. It is usually only used by us in Langya Mountain for short-distance transportation.”

“I have already contacted the other side. When you get there, an elder of our clan will contact you and arrange a ship for you to go to the Giant Whale Port.”

“Speaking of which, I haven’t talked to you much about the Jade Cauldron Civil War in the past few years. You are the leader of one party, so you must know the inside story very well. Are you interested in telling me about it?”

 …

Shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You tell me."

 “Just remembering some past events.”

After getting on the boat, Luo Chen was a little silent.

 Because of these awe-inspiring looks, my originally heavy mood became much relieved.

 Many things are just hearsay, and I cannot give Luo Chen a more detailed answer.

“That’s right.” The shopkeeper nodded.

He turned his head and glanced at the cargo ship in Langya Mountain, "It's all packed up, you can get on board."

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Actually, with the state of your master and servant, you are not suitable for traveling far at all. Why not just settle down in Hongtide Port and recover from your illness before leaving."

 After saying that, Luo Chen got on the boat without any hesitation.

Luo Chen shook his head and explained: "My maid's disease can be cured by extraordinary medicines and stones. It requires good medicinal materials. Hongchao Port is still a bit barren after all."

"At present, Moluo Liu and Penglai Immortal Sect are joining forces to deal with the Canghai League. It seems that the momentum is unstoppable, and the Canghai League can only passively shrink. But after all, the Canghai League has the power to transform into gods, and it may continue to happen again in the future. Cold Light As an important place in the southeast, the island must be a key point of contention. But Langya Mountain also stretches across the southeast. I don't know what the real Yi family thinks, but the neutrality will definitely not be maintained. Langya Mountain will eventually join the war in the future. I’m afraid Hongchao Port won’t be able to live in peace either. You old man, you have to think about your options.”

Luo Chen hummed and waved to Tianxuan behind him.

Coupled with Luo Chen's sallow complexion and rickety posture.

“It’s a total of 800 miles from Hongchao Port to Langya Mountain. It takes about half a day to get there.”

The hunched young man listened carefully and did not miss the slightest detail.

 When the sailors on the ship greeted him and left, he suddenly came to his senses with a wry smile on his face.

Han Zhan laughed and cursed, then fell silent.

After a long while, he said in a low voice: "If you want to know anything, just ask! I will tell you everything I can tell you."

Luo Chen licked his lips.

“First of all, in the civil war in Yuding, did Tianfan City intervene?”

 “Isn’t this a well-known thing? Is this something we should also ask?”

“You keep telling me, it will take half a day to go to Langya Mountain anyway, so we should just pass the time.”

Han Zhan was helpless, "Well, as you think, Tianfan City has intervened. It is even said that Tianfan City took the lead in this matter from the beginning."

 From the beginning, was Tianfan City the leader?

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

 When he was in the foundation building period, he had countless considerations and deductions about the Jade Cauldron Civil War.

 After all, under such a general trend, if a small person cannot follow the trend, he will inevitably die.

 Hence, combined with the proliferation of inferior magic weapons in the Jade Cauldron Territory and some war magic weapons prepared in advance in Tianfan City, there are relevant speculations.

 Unexpectedly, the matter went deeper than he guessed.

"how do I say this?"

 “How can you tell me, how did you advance to the Nascent Soul stage as an old man?”

“Isn’t it the Yingying Dan?”

"I obtained the ready-made Ying-Jie Dan and Dan formula from an ancient ruins, but there is no Breaking Realm Spiritual Land! The power of the sect in Donghuang has long been deeply rooted. Without the support of the Shang Zong, the Golden Dan cultivator wants to be promoted to Nascent Soul During the period, there were many difficulties. It was the Tianfan City Golden Pill cultivator who went on the adventure with me and reported the fact that I had obtained the Yingying Pill. My original intention was to take it back, but the Tianfan City Master changed his mind. Instead, he offered me a fourth-level spiritual vein to help me break through. The condition is that after I succeed, I will initiate a civil war in the Jade Cauldron Territory so that they can benefit from it."

 This matter is rarely mentioned, but one can imagine the danger at that time.

The Golden Core monks in Tianfan City are shameless enough to invite their elders.

Unexpectedly, Han Zhan turned bad luck into good luck.

Of course, the consequence was that the Luoyun Sect behind him was dragged into the quagmire of war.

From here, Luo Chen roughly understood why the Luoyun Sect was pressing forward step by step, but the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect never dared to attack with all its strength.

The other party is actually afraid of Tianfan City!

“Second question, what is your relationship with Master Canglong of Ice Castle?”

"Well…"

Han Zhan was caught off guard. He didn't expect Luo Chen to ask this question.

 Subsequently, Luo Chen told Han Zhan what he saw and heard in the Snow Mountain.

 Especially the scene when Han Zhan defended Canglong.

After a long while, Han Zhancai smiled bitterly and said: "It's related. Didn't I tell you before? Canglong and I have a close relationship. To be honest, I almost became a Taoist couple with her. But, because of her, She has outstanding talent and was trained by Ice Castle, so she was not allowed to marry outside. I was also proud of my talents and did not want to marry into Ice Castle, so we parted ways."

"That's it? So, you protect her and fight against the White Bone Black Snake?"

"The entanglement here is not as simple as you think. However, the love between children is second. The most important thing is that Canglong secretly borrowed the sect's ice prison to help me learn the "Splitting Soul Sutra". This kindness It’s really too heavy, and it’s also related to my Yuan Ying’s success in transcending the tribulation. If I don’t repay you, my thoughts will not be clear.”

 Ice prison?

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

 Speaking of which, he also practiced in the Ice Prison of Ice Castle.

It was indeed a good place, allowing him to conquer the fourth-level withering fire, thereby benefiting a lot from alchemy, spells, and even qi and body refining.

Unexpectedly, Han Zhan, an outsider, had already been there before him.

 The Soul-Splitting Sutra is thought to be one of the three arts and two arts of the Luoyun Sect.

“Then, I heard that Senior Sister Canglong failed to escape the tribulation. How is she doing?”

 “You call her senior sister?”

“Well, wasn’t the Luo Tian Sect I founded before a vassal of Ice Castle? Later, I became the guest elder of Ice Castle. I changed my name to Senior Sister for convenience.”

 “She…”

Han Zhan sighed, his tone extremely sighing.

"The tribulation failed, and all three treasures of spirit, energy, and spirit were lost. I used a unique secret technique to restore his soul, and supplemented it with an ice castle treasure coffin to stabilize his body. In the end, he saved his life. However, he will need to sleep for a hundred years, or even longer. Will wake up. As for Yuanying Avenue? Unless there is a top-notch panacea, there is basically no chance in this life. "

Luo Chen opened his mouth but was speechless for a moment.

 Canglong, he is a very good person.

 He ​​has not been in contact with the other party for a long time, but he can still feel the sincerity of the other party.

At this moment, when I heard the true situation, I felt endless regret in my heart. Is it really that difficult to have a baby?

 Previously in Feileng City, when I was on the fourth level of the Golden Core, I realized how to form a baby. I thought that as long as I was fully prepared, everything would be foolproof.

 Comparatively, Canglong, who had a large amount of support from the Golden Elixir Sect, and even Han Zhan to protect him, failed to conceive.

What about your future?

 Discourage arises spontaneously.

 I don’t know whether it’s because his injuries haven’t healed yet, or because the escape has sapped Luo Chen’s energy, making him a little sentimental recently.

But soon, Luo Chen adjusted.

 Let’s talk about the future in the future.

 Now, we have to go one step at a time!

 “The third question! Regarding the ruins of Jilei Mountain’s God Transformation!”

 “Are you talking about the palace where Mighty White Night is?”

"Yes!" Luo Chen asked with great confusion: "I heard that there are many treasures with great power of transforming gods left inside, and there are even several real weapons. But why, after the ruins were opened, both of your sects only sent golden elixir monks? Go in and fight for it, but you and Master Yuding don’t go there in person. Aren’t you interested in the inheritance of the great power of transformation?”

This doubt has been floating in Luo Chen's mind for a long time.

 In the past, I either didn’t have time, or I didn’t feel that I had a good relationship with Han Zhan, so I didn’t ask.

But after getting along with each other for so many years, especially not long ago, when Han Zhan discovered He Yuan, he held back and finally took the initiative to help Luo Chen, which made him feel that his relationship with Han Zhan had become much closer.

 That's when I asked solemnly.

Han Zhan didn't seem surprised that Luo Chen asked this question, or he had already heard many similar questions.

Soon, he explained it to Luo Chen himself.

 It's just that this explanation took a long time.

 From the practice of monks to the evolution of realm, this is a eloquent account.

 A monk’s practice begins with refining Qi.

During the Qi refining period, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is breathed in and continuously purified. Finally, the spiritual energy purified to the extreme makes the Dantian turn into the sea, building the foundation of the great road.

 After the foundation is established, the spiritual consciousness is derived, and the body is easily able to withstand more spiritual energy.

 In this process, the spiritual power in the body changes from the gaseous state, to the liquid state, and even to the solid state after the golden elixir stage. It is a progressive process.

 But the most important thing is actually not spiritual power or magic power.

 But the soul!

 From refining Qi, building foundation, to golden elixir, in the process of constantly transporting external spiritual energy, the monk's soul will continue to grow under the constant exercise day and night.

Until the Nascent Soul stage, the three flowers gather at the top, the five qi move toward the Yuan, and the illusory soul condenses into the substantial Nascent Soul!

 The so-called sea of ​​​​qi will also become the Zifu and the residence of Yuanying.

 After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the practice of immortal cultivators becomes very different.

Condensing mana is the eternal keynote, but in addition to this, the birth of the Nascent Soul realm allows monks to control the spiritual energy of the outside world that is compatible with their own line.

Since then, the Yuanying monks have truly gained some of the power that is rumored in the world to move mountains and fill seas, and chase stars and moons.

 “You have witnessed many high-level battles, you must know what this means!”

 “Control the general trend of heaven and earth?”

"Yes, I control the external spiritual energy for my own use, and my magic power has been flowing continuously since then." At this point, Han Zhan paused, "But this is just an appearance. What is the general trend of the world? Is it just those scattered spiritual energy that are floating and wandering? "

 “Law?” Luo Chen hesitated.

"Sure enough, you are a genius in cultivation. Those spells are at your fingertips. You will surely make rapid progress in your practice of law in the future."

Han Zhan applauded, and then explained seriously: "The most important practice of a Yuanying monk is to comprehend the power of the law that is most suitable for him in the process of constantly controlling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Once he understands it, he can advance to the next level. God, it’s just around the corner!”

Luo Chen was puzzled, "But I have never seen any Nascent Soul monk who can master the laws in the Nascent Soul stage...but there is one."

As he spoke, a tall and cold figure appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

Standing tall in Cangwu Mountain, powerful and invincible!

Han Zhan knew who he was talking about, but temporarily ignored the topic.

"You are right. Ninety-nine percent of Nascent Soul cultivators cannot understand the power of laws. Generally, only after being promoted to the stage of divine transformation, and having their divine consciousness transformed into thoughts, can they naturally realize the power of laws that suits them through the simultaneous action of divine thoughts and domains. "

“However, this cultivation process must not be skipped!”

"The reason why Master Yuding and I don't use the relics of the God of Evolution is because, in such places where great powers of transforming gods have fallen, there are too many powers of laws that the great powers comprehended during their lifetimes left in them. Once we go in, we will definitely be beaten. Its influence will affect our path, and there is absolutely no hope of becoming a **** in the future!”

Luo Chen's head felt a little swollen after hearing this. He frowned tightly and concluded uncertainly: "Monk Yuanying, are you not allowed to enter the ruins of the Transformation of Gods?"

“Yes, that’s wrong. The premise is that no great power has fallen into the ruins of the gods. We can still enter the ordinary ruins of the gods.”

Luo Chen asked further, "Is it true that we can't go in?"

"Really! Unless you can ensure that you are not affected...there are exceptions." Han Zhan seemed to think of someone.

Under Luo Chen's curiosity, he added: "If the path practiced by Zhenren Yuanying is the same as that of the fallen god, you can go in. Maybe you can also get the legacy of the predecessors, in the Yuanying stage, Understand the power of the law in advance.”

 Luo Chen suddenly became enlightened and kept these higher-level common sense firmly in his mind.

lest you accidentally step into some powerful relics in the future and go astray.

While reciting his memories silently, Luo Chen's thoughts wandered, and suddenly a new question arose on this issue.

“What about the relics of our predecessors at a higher level? For example, above the Transformation God, can you, Yuanying Masters, enter?”

Han Zhan was asked this question.

He thought hard for a long time, and could only say helplessly: "The world of mountains and seas is just a lower world after all. Being able to have transformed gods to stay and even occasionally take action means that this world is extremely spiritual. This world may not be able to tolerate the existence of higher realms. Hmm. , a small temple cannot accommodate a big Buddha.”

“So, how do I know if I can go in?”

"However, there are beings who are stronger than the gods. It seems that their understanding of the power of laws has reached a very deep level, and they may be the masters of one law. Such beings should not hinder us."

“Just like the relics of the Transformation God have no effect on you Golden Core monks, if we are not at that level, we cannot feel the stronger power at all, so naturally we will not be affected and lead astray.”

This time, Luo Chen was confused and confused.

 In other words, I don’t understand it at all.

No one knows what the path of cultivation should be for a being who is stronger than a god.

 At least, based on Luo Chen’s knowledge and Han Zhan’s knowledge, it is impossible to guess.

“Okay, that’s it for this question. If you continue to ask this question, I will show my timidity.” Han Zhan laughed and cursed, but there was no sense of shame in his words.

 If you really think about it, although he usually calls himself "Old Man", his age is indeed considered young in the Nascent Soul Stage.

 Therefore, there is still no "generation gap" with Luo Chen.

Luo Chen smiled and asked the last question.

 However, this question made Han Zhan silent for a long time.

“Demon Emperor Qingshuang, how strong is he?”

After a long time, Han Zhan replied bitterly: "My Nascent Soul is beyond reach. If you cannot transform into a spirit, you will be invincible in the world!"

Facing this answer, Luo Chen could not calm down for a long time.

He knew that Qingshuang Demon King was very strong, but he did not expect that he would be so highly regarded by monks of the same level.

 Recalling the battle at Cangwu Mountain.

Three great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage were injured and retreated, and even provoked the god-transformation monk to take action himself. This is indeed in line with Han Zhan's evaluation.

After a long while, Luo Chen sighed with emotion: "There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. Our practice is really like mountain climbing. Every mountain is higher than the other!"

Han Zhan snorted.

 Then, there was silence.

 It seems that this exchange has ended completely.

As it was getting late, Han Zhan suddenly spoke again.

“You’re asking these questions not just to kill time, right?”

Luo Chen said calmly: "Things in the world, ancient and modern, are often similar. The civil war in Yuding and the battle between the two gangs I fought in Dahefang are essentially the same. They are both struggles for interests. Nowadays, the war between good and evil in Beihai is larger in scale. Even so, but in essence, it is not much different from the Jade Cauldron Civil War."

“Through your client’s oral account, I can get a glimpse of the whole situation. I can have a more accurate guess about the trend of this war. I can naturally follow the trend in future actions and seek good fortune and avoid disaster.”

Han Zhan understood. Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought.

 Luo Chen rarely does things without purpose.

 As for what Luo Chen plans to do after learning about those things?

 This answer has been given by the other party a long time ago.

 There is no peace in this world. Since there is no concern, it is better to escape.

Finally, Han Zhan reminded: "Luo Chen, sometimes, don't use your experience to speculate on higher-level intentions. Even if what you are fighting for is interests, if the nature of the interests is different, the means of fighting will be different. "

 “Be careful, your cleverness will be misled by your cleverness!”

Luo Chen frowned.

Although I didn’t quite understand these words, it was a kind reminder from the bottom of my heart, so I kept it in my heart.

 At this time.

 The rocking of the boat stopped.

Luo Chen walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

As far as the eye can see, a high mountain shaped like a sharp wolf fang comes into view.

Langya is named after Langya.

 “The first stop has been arrived, I hope everything goes well next!”
