Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 689 Transformation into a demon, a demon, and a human being

“The surviving clan of the snake: like a snake or a horse, covered in scales and armor, with four legs on its belly. The big tendons are twelve, and the small tendons are ninety-six, which is the number of the small Zhoutian..."

“Horned Demon Tribe: It looks like a human being, with towering horns. A single horn can withstand the power of wind and thunder, and is extremely brave..."

"The Strange-Eyed Clan: A one-eyed brow with the power of turning stone, forbidding the air, and absorbing souls. It is also called the Strange-Eyed Clan. According to legend, it is the bloodline of Zhulong, one of the three ancient demons in the demon world. He was born weak and had only one eye. Do not look directly at it. A total of one thousand or eight acupoints are blocked all over the body. When all the acupoints are opened, the demon body will be opened and the demon eyes will be opened..."

 “Poro clan…”

As Luo Chen expected, in addition to information on various medicinal materials, the bamboo slips in the study at the third level also recorded a large amount of information about the races in the demon world.

There are even comparisons of pictures on some bamboo slips!

Although there are only a few strokes, the painter is almost mystical, making one look like a demon before his eyes.

In fact, not only the painters, but also the calligraphy on these bamboo slips are extremely superb and contain special power. Even if Luo Chen does not recognize the calligraphy, he can understand the true meaning after just one glance.

If these bamboo slips were all written by the Heavenly Demon King himself, then the power contained in them would be really astonishing.

 Back to the topic.

Through reading the bamboo slips, in half a year, Luo Chen gained a deeper understanding of the demonic world that he had never seen before.

Thousands of strange races, incredible abilities, ugly or beautiful looks... and extremely complex body structures!

Thousands of races gather together in one realm, and their physical differences make the elixirs used by each race different.

“When I first saw the test questions in the third level, I was overjoyed. I thought it was just a body-refining elixir, and I could easily get it.”

“Now that I understand the distribution of races in the demon world and the structure of most demon bodies, I realize that there is something extraordinary in this simplicity!”

It can make Luo Chen feel troublesome, which shows the problem.

 The third level of assessment is indeed the simplest body-refining elixir, but it requires refining an elixir with strong "universal applicability".

Breaking the boundaries of the demon clan will allow most demon clan to use such elixirs to enhance their body refining realm and lay a solid foundation to pursue the realm of true demons that countless demon clans dream of.

 In this case, it is not simple.

 The more common the elixir is, the more extreme it is.

 “I was a little carried away and underestimated the inheritance assessment of the alchemy world.”

While muttering, Luo Chen put down the bamboo slips and walked slowly in the study.

 He has many inspirations in his mind, but at the moment, none of them seem to be suitable.

 Either it is too biased and only suitable for one or two races. Either it has strong universal applicability but low potency, and may not be able to meet the assessment requirements at this level. If you spend a lot of effort to refine it, but you can only get a poor evaluation result, then the gain outweighs the loss.

 At this moment, Luo Chen sniffed lightly with his nose.

A faint smell of burning smell came from a distance.

He looked from a distance and saw the door of the alchemy room opened, and a puff of black smoke floated out.

 Subsequently, the gray-faced figure of Haijiao Tianmu appeared in the field of vision.

 Failed again!

 The corners of Luo Chen's mouth curled up slightly.

 This is the first time in half a year that the other party has failed?

 Seventy times? Eighty times? Or did it happen hundreds of times without me noticing?

How could Haijiao Tianmu not notice his gloating about his misfortune, and her face darkened.

"snort!"

Seeing that the other party was about to get into the alchemy room again, Luo Chen quickly spoke.

“Fellow Taoist, one person is short-term and two people are long-term. Why don’t you take out the recipe you deduced and discuss it.”

Haijiao Tianlao smiled softly, "Then I still have to thank you for your kindness?"

Luo Chen waved his hand first. "No need to thank you. People who share the same path should help each other!"

Then he pointed at himself with a proud look on his face and said, "With my Alchemy attainment, which I have passed twice in a row, I would like to give you a few pointers. It won't be a problem."

Haijiao Tianmu’s face darkened.

She said coldly: "Didn't anyone teach you to respect the old and love the young? Even if you don't understand etiquette, you should understand that those who are wise come first! When you are older, you can stop dictating!"

"snort!"

 After saying that, she snorted coldly and got into the alchemy room again.

 After she left, the smile on Luo Chen's face gradually faded.

pity.

I also want to see the other party’s research results so that I can avoid the pitfalls of failure.

However, under such verbal pressure, and at the time when the other party failed, I think it will leave a big psychological shadow on Haijiao Tianmu's heart!

 As long as it has some impact, that’s fine.

“Next, it’s time for me to cut out the complex and simplify, and research the basic elixir that is most suitable for most demons to refine their bodies.”

Luo Chen waved his sleeves to brush away the pungent burnt smell in the air, and then closed the study door.

 …

 “Failed again!”

 “How could it fail?”

“Obviously, demons and demons have something in common when it comes to body refining, why do my elixir recipes fail again and again?”

In the alchemy room, Haijiao Tianmu kept asking herself, with a look of confusion on her face.

 She didn’t think it was a problem with her alchemy skills.

With her strength as an alchemy master, the elixirs she researched were relatively low-level basic elixirs, so successfully refining them was just the simplest thing.

 So, the problem must be in Danfang itself!

“Is it because the power of Shen Yuan’s herbal medicine is too overbearing?”

Twisting a ball of black ash with her fingers, Haijiao Tianmu fell into deep thought.

 After thinking for a long time, she decided to go back to the study and take another look at the bamboo slips.

 The answer must be contained in it!

　　　　　…

The study door was pushed open, and Haijiao Tianmu, who was worried, only glanced at it, and then his pupils narrowed.

Different from the previous half year, this time the human monk named Qingyang Demon Lord no longer patrolled the bookshelves, but sat at the desk and was writing furiously.

This scene made her feel suddenly heavy.

 “So fast?”

"The knowledge recorded on the bamboo slips here is as vast as a mountain of books. It only took him half a year to read it all. It has even... reached the point of writing prescriptions for elixirs!"

Thinking of the strong confidence that the other party had expressed in his previous words and his record of breaking through two levels in a row, the old woman clenched her fists even more imperceptibly.

"I can't tell what this person's state is. He is neither humble nor arrogant when he comes to me. I think he is also a real person."

“But his attainments in alchemy must be very profound, especially when it comes to creating alchemy formulas... Could it be that he is the ancestor of the Yuanying Sect, or even a direct descendant of the Holy Land?”

 “If that’s the case, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”

The old woman wandered among the bookshelves, and her eyes occasionally fell on the man who was writing on the desk by the window.

The thoughts in my heart are ups and downs, and distracting thoughts are flying around.

 When it comes to alchemy, the human race is definitely superior to the demon race.

Although she, Haijiao Tianmu, comes from the Haijiao clan who are good at knowing elixirs, when it comes to the inheritance of alchemy, it is still insufficient.

 In his early years, in order to improve his alchemy skills, he hunted a large number of immortal cultivators and obtained alchemy books. He even risked his own life and went deep into the hinterland of the human race to participate in the Alchemy Festival and communicate with those powerful alchemists.

 It is through a little hard work that she has achieved what she has achieved today.

 But if we really want to compare it with those holy places of the Shangzong that have been passed down for thousands of years, she is far behind in terms of heritage.

In case, the Qingyang Demon Lord really comes from behind and breaks through the third level in advance, then this trip will be a waste of water.

Thinking of this, the old woman's expression became more and more gloomy.

“It’s all the same’s fault, Lord Shark. If he had been willing to give me the alchemy books he obtained from Yuan Mo Sect, why would he be in such a difficult situation like now?”

“It’s fine if I get the alchemy inheritance this time. If I fail, then the friendship between our Haijiao clan and the Shark clan…”

While thinking about it, Haijiao Tianmu suddenly froze. "What is wrong with me?"

At this moment, she looked towards the window. The handsome young man was raising his head and looking at her faintly.

 The two looked at each other, silently, and separated from each other.

Haijiao Tianmu seemed to understand something and cursed in a low voice.

 “The next work!”

 …

No matter how despicable the scheming is and how despicable the means, it will not affect the attainment of skills.

The so-called innocent heart and the path of sincerity, in Luo Chen's view, just refer to the degree of investment in a certain path, and have nothing to do with good or evil.

 Countless attempts, countless successes, and non-stop reading. Over the past hundred years, even if he did not tolerate the talents of hundreds of schools, he had laid a strong foundation for alchemy.

This foundation has played a great role in the assessment of self-created elixir recipes at the three levels of the alchemy world!

Luo Chen spent a year and a half writing dozens of elixir recipes for demon body refining pills.

 Subsequently, he noticed that the body refining of the demon race was similar to the changes in the blood and Qi of the human race. The spiritual energy tempering body of the demon race was similar to that of the human race, and was polished closer to the body of the wild beast.

It’s just that in this process, some body-refining concepts of the human and demon tribes are also mixed in.

 Taking body as the main body and Qi as the supplement, go to the extreme and domineering way!

After realizing this, he suddenly understood.

If you want to refine elixirs for people in this Taoist way, you should show the power of the elixirs with the force of a torrent without sticking to the sand!

 Simply put, the auxiliary materials must have strong medicinal power, and the main materials must be even stronger. Only in this way can the refined elixir have terrifying medicinal power.

 The bodies of the demons are naturally stronger than those of the two human-demon races, and the medicine they can carry is naturally stronger.

 So just give it a try!

Adhering to this idea, Luo Chen screened out most of the prescriptions, leaving only nine.

Among the nine kinds of elixirs, skin, flesh and bones are the main ones, and only one or two of the blood points are used.

 Subsequently, he went to the alchemy world to collect elixirs, brought them back, ground them, and processed them.

In the process of personal contact with these medicinal materials, six types of elixirs were eliminated, leaving only three types of elixirs with the roughest style.

 Then go through system qualification to confirm the completeness.

At this point, everything is ready, just waiting to be refined!

 During this process, Haijiao Tianmu has been watching with cold eyes.

She could naturally see that the medicinal materials collected by Luo Chen were all types with violent medicinal power.

As a result, she was full of questions and a little scornful.

“I don’t distinguish between subject and object, and I don’t understand the combination of strengths and weaknesses. Could it be that I overestimated him?”

 In doubt, Haijiao Tianmu did not stop her hands and feet.

It took her three years to break the barrier between immortals and mortals in the first level, and only one year in the second level to cleanse the demon souls. Now it took her a full three years to strengthen the demon body!

 It is also time to test the results.

 This time, she is very sure!

She has always been using the alchemy room in the third level, and Demon Lord Qingyang has never stepped into it.

 In the past three years, there have been countless failures, but success may be next time.

 The old woman began to make alchemy again.

 Three months later.

The old woman's eyes were red, staring at the red-hot alchemy furnace, and the feeling that was about to come out became stronger and stronger.

 This time, I will definitely succeed and pass the test!

 And the boy who lives in a house outside and refines elixirs will be left behind by her again.

“He has only started refining alchemy for three months, and a lot of trial and error is just the beginning. To me, the gap is too big!”

“I fell into this kid’s trick before, and it messed up my mind. This time I walked in front of him, and it’s time for him to be in chaos.”

Thinking of this, Haijiao Tianmu showed a happy smile on her face.

However, before this smile could fully bloom, a weak voice rumbled and exploded from the air.

　　【Shipidan, a third-level low-grade elixir, can help low-level demons temper their skin and flesh. 】

　　【Thunder Bone Pill, a third-level low-grade pill that can help low-level demons refine bone marrow fluid. 】

　　【Mercury Blood Pill, a third-level low-grade pill that can help low-level demons refine their blood. 】

  【Assessment result, excellent, passed! 】

　　Boom!

 In the alchemy room, the medicine furnace exploded.

The old woman didn't care to give up halfway. With a wave of her sleeves and robe, the door opened and she rushed out.

In his sight, a bright light enveloped the red-robed Taoist, and the space seemed to be distorted and collapsed.

The man looked at the old woman with white hair and red eyes, and nodded slightly.

“Fellow Taoist, please go ahead.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the beam of light dissipated, and the figure of the Taoist had completely disappeared.

Looking at this dream-like scene, the old woman was trembling all over, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"How can it be?"

"How could he have made the right elixir in such a short time?"

"Third level! With such a high level, the potency of the medicine must be terrifying. Is it not something that low-level demons can withstand?"

 “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

 The old woman's murmur gradually became louder, like a shout.

However, this time, no one responded to her.

 The look Luo Chen left was calm and peaceful, as if he did not regard her as a rival for the inheritance of alchemy at all.

 Ignore is the greatest contempt!

 Haijiao Tianmu, my mentality is a little unbalanced.

 …

 The sun and the moon rotate, and the sky is replaced by a new one.

Luo Chen absorbed the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth and felt the golden elixir in his body was beating.

 Sure enough, after the three levels, there is still a fourth level, which seems to be endless.

 But he understands that the assessment of the Alchemy inheritance of a generation of Lord Lianxu will not be that simple.

 What he has to do is just go step by step no matter how many levels there are next.

 Previously in the third level, he showed his advantage over Haijiao Tianmu, the master of alchemy!

With years of experience in body refining, I can solve problems faster, and select elixir recipes faster with the help of the system. I also use achievement points to get started with the specific elixir refining process. It only took three months to get started and refine the first elixir.

Such a thunderous force must have given the old woman a great shock!

However, Luo Chen could sense that the other party was getting closer and closer to success, and his small tricks might not be able to stop the other party for long.

 Next, we have to work harder.

While smiling slightly, Luo Chen's eyes suddenly froze.

 A voice came into his mind, echoing endlessly like a bell.

“Demons admire the changeable nature of demons, demons admire the wisdom of humans, and humans crave the purity of demons. There are spirits in the world, each with his or her own strengths. I, the alchemist, will use elixirs to enter the Tao and break through the limitations of the three clans of demons, demons, and humans.”

“Please refine the three elixirs for transforming demons, demons, and humans.”

 “The Dan recipe is as follows…”

 In an instant, Luo Chen stood quietly on the spot, lost in thought.

This level does not test the basic understanding of alchemy, but the specific alchemy technique?
