Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 97 The Land of Spiritual Veins, the Raw Mine of Spiritual Stones (Seventh update, please subscribe)

 Deep under the Xianyue Valley, is there a place with such rich spiritual energy?

Luo Chen was surprised, and then seemed to realize something.

However, he was not in a hurry to explore.

 Instead, he went out first and showed his face in front of Gu Caiyi and the others to show that he was fine.

He knew very well that if something happened to him, Mi Shuhua would definitely come to visit him.

 At that time, the results of my own exploration will probably be exposed.

 In the evening, the monks in the alchemy hall had almost left, and the elixirs refined today were specially kept in the elixir raising room.

Luo Chen said hello to Gu Caiyi and said that he would go back later today and that he would try to refine the chalcedony pill.

There is nothing wrong with Gu Caiyi.

 At present, Luo Chen is doing the work of refining chalcedony pills alone.

 Other medicine practitioners and pyrotechnics are just learning some of the skills he taught.

 After the Dantang monks were almost gone and only a group of guards remained, Luo Chen returned to the stone house.

“Let me see if the first-order spiritual vein branches below really exist!”

Lifting the stone slab, Luo Chen fell into the underground mine.

 Choose a mine tunnel extending downward, release the little puppet, and follow closely behind.

 “Is it blocked?”

“This road is also unavailable. Let’s find another mine road.”

 “The direction seems to be off.”

 “It seems that some means must be used!”

After being blocked at the end of the closed mine tunnel again, Luo Chen realized that that place should not have been discovered yet.

 Hence, there is no direct mine tunnel.

If it were before, he would still need to use the magic weapon to open the way and dig the passage bit by bit.

 But now, there happens to be another method.

 Create mountains and break monuments!

 Surge of spiritual power spurts out along the meridians.

As Luo Chen slapped his palm on the ground, there was a sudden dull sound.

Large pieces of gravel exploded. Luo Chen did not dodge and let the gravel hit him.

Then, under the defensive light cover of the middle-grade robe, he fell down.

 “It looks very deep!”

With a sigh, Luo Chen continued to repeat this action.

 One palm, one palm, another palm!

 Occasionally, he would encounter some unmined star silver mines, and Luo Chen would use a jasper sword to cut them out with difficulty.

 During this process, the proficiency of the Open Mountain and Breaking Stele Palm also began to increase.

"After all, it is a secular martial arts, and the use of spiritual power is still a bit superficial."

“But this is good, it doesn’t consume so much spiritual energy.”

 Luo Chen glanced at the attribute panel and saw that his proficiency in the Open Mountain Breaking Tablet Palm was increasing, and he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

About an hour later, Luo Chen had to stop his actions.

 “Gan, why is it so deep!”

 “I’m afraid I won’t be able to get through today, let’s continue tomorrow!”

 If you delay any longer, it will be too late to go home.

Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang's two bodyguards are still waiting for him in Xieyue Valley.

Luo Chen stopped continuing and turned around to exit the narrow mine tunnel.

 Before leaving, a huge boulder was used to block the mine tunnel.

 …

“Luo Chen went to the main altar to find me today?”

 Mi Shuhua had just finished communicating with a newly moved Foundation Establishment monk when he heard Mi Junping’s report.

He was endlessly curious.

 “What does that kid want to see me for?”

 Mi Junping dislikes Luo Chen very much. He gets too many benefits from the gang.

　　still looks quite dissatisfied.

 Compared with the benefits he has received, the value he has created for the Poshan Gang and the Mi family is far from enough.

　　"Hey, what can I do? I must be looking for benefits from you again. That guy is simply greedy!"

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Mi Shuhua couldn't help but frown.

 My daughter is still too petty after all.

 Only care about temporary gains and losses, and fail to see long-term benefits.

 Compared with what I have paid now, the value that Luo Chen can bring in the future is inestimable!

 Mi Junping, on the other hand, could not control herself in her early years, fell in love with a monk, and even gave birth to a child.

So much so that even though I have tried my best to cultivate it, I will never be able to advance to the foundation building stage in this life.

Mi Shuhua was forced to have no choice but to take out the Foundation Establishment Pill that he had finally obtained as a reward.

 The second generation of the Mi family has no one!

 Fortunately, among the children of the third generation, there are still a few worthy of improvement.

 After thinking about it, Mi Shuhua said, "Mi Li has gone home. Call her over and I'll ask something."

Mi Junping didn’t like to see her daughter.

 It was because of that man and this daughter that she had no hope of advancing to foundation building.

 But under the gaze of his father during the foundation period, he still had to go find the grains of rice.

 After a while, Mi Shuhua learned most of what happened to Luo Chen in the Alchemy Hall today.

 Promoted an old monk to be the leader of the firework team. Is he kind-hearted?

The class leader went out with Luo Chen. It is said that the other party asked about realm issues. It seemed that Luo Chen encountered confusion in his practice.

Hmm, so to speak, the reason why he found himself is that he ended up here.

“Hallmaster Luo succeeded in making a furnace of chalcedony pills this afternoon,” Mi Li said softly.

"He is indeed very talented in alchemy. At least the second and third generations of my Mi family are not as talented as him."

Mi Shuhua sighed.

“There seems to be something wrong with the refining process. Hall Master Luo’s eyes are bleeding.”

 When he heard the news, Mi Shuhua couldn't sit still.

"How is this going?"

That expression of urgency and concern is not fake at all.

Mi Li pursed her lips, feeling a little sad in her heart.

 My own grandfather has never cared so much about me.

She reluctantly said: "Hall Master Luo said that he has been refining too much alchemy recently and has been using the spiritual eye technique, which has caused overuse of his eyes."

Mi Shuhua took small steps indoors, frowning.

 This is indeed a problem.

Although the spiritual eye spell is simple, it is actually a very dangerous one among low-level spells.

 It is said that in the sect, the elders will teach the disciples not to use it often.

 First of all, it is easy to offend high-level monks.

 Secondly, it is easy to hurt your eyes.

 I am still too anxious after all!

Luo Chen is only a child at the sixth level of Qi refining. If he is asked to refine elixirs like this every day, he will really hurt the opponent.

　　Before, I thought Mi Junping was petty, but now it seems that I am a little short-sighted.

Who trains alchemists who don’t start out every ten years or a hundred years?

 After thinking for a while, Mi Shuhua took out a jade bottle from his storage bag.

“Mi Li, give this to Luo Chen tomorrow and ask him to put a drop in his eyes every time he refines the elixir.”

Mi Junping was so shocked when she saw the jade bottle that she blurted out.

“Dad, this is the moisturizing pearl liquid you got from the auction, why did you give it to that kid?”

Mi Shuhua glanced at her and said coldly: "This thing is of no help to practice. It's useless if I keep it. Why can't I give it to him?"

Mi Junping mumbled nonchalantly, asking for a lot of spiritual stones.

 Sighed, Mi Shuhua still couldn't help it.

“Jun Ping, be a more generous person. Recently, some people have reported to me that you are too harsh on the monks in your gang, and the rewards you should give them are always reduced or even not given.”

"Dad, those casual cultivators are not worthy at all..."

"If this continues, the Mi family will lose the support of the Poshan Gang."

“But as long as you, the foundation-building monk, are here, what does it matter if we lose our hearts?”

“Then how long do you think I can live?”

As soon as these words came out, Mi Junping covered her mouth, and a terrifying thought came to her mind.

Does my father have a long life left?

Mi Shuhua shook his head and motioned for them to leave without any explanation.

Mi Li pulled her lost mother away, clutching the jade bottle in her hand.

Under the moonlight, she glanced at the yard where Mi Shuhua was, feeling a little panicked in her heart.

 In recent days, the Mi family, as a local foundation-building family and also controlling the Poshan Gang, has been very popular.

 The usual greetings and send-offs can be said to be decorated with flowers and cooked with oil.

 But if Mi Shuhua falls, what will happen to the entire family?

 She didn’t dare to think any more.

 ….

 ….

 “The gang leader gave it to me?”

 Before the alchemy started, Luo Chen curiously took the jade bottle.

 Shaked, and there was an echo of rippling water inside.

Mi Li said softly: "This is the moistening pearl liquid. After the hall master refines the elixir every day, you can drop a little on your eyes, which can effectively relieve eye fatigue."

Runming Pearl Liquid!

Hearing this name, Luo Chen froze for a moment.

 This is good stuff!

 The Qing Yuan Dan Jie records this elixir.

 It has an excellent auxiliary effect on low-level alchemists.

 But few ordinary alchemists can afford it.

The reason is very simple. This spiritual liquid comes from the largest sect in the Jade Cauldron Domain - the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect!

 As a sword cultivating sect, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect often dominates with its combat prowess and has nothing to praise in terms of elixirs.

  But as a large sect, it is naturally impossible to restrict others in everything. They also have their own alchemists trained to serve the Sword Sect exclusively.

runming pearl liquid is a kind of elixir developed by them.

 In other words, it is not a moistening pearl liquid, but a clear liquid!

 Sword cultivator uses sword pills as a means to fight against the enemy.

 The method of controlling sword pills relies on divine consciousness.

 But there are some enemies for whom spiritual consciousness alone is not effective and requires the help of eyes and ears.

 It was the alchemists of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect who developed the elixir of clear liquid.

 Long-term use will produce incredible changes in the swordsman's eyes - he can see through the true and false, and see through the void.

 Transparent liquid is a top-grade elixir, and is often only supplied to the True Master of Foundation Establishment and Golden Elixir.

  But if an elixir can only serve internal purposes, it loses too much value.

 So, the alchemist of Yuding added and deleted the medicinal materials, and developed a weakened version of the clear liquid, the Runming Pearl Liquid.

This elixir is not only provided to internal disciples, but also sold externally.

 The market is average, but the earned spiritual stones can more or less make up for the loss in refining the clear liquid.

Runming Pearl Liquid has no effect on high-level monks, but for Qi-refining and foundation-building monks, the effect is very good.

 Use it occasionally to relieve eye fatigue.

 Long-term use will allow monks to easily distinguish between Yin Qi, turbid gas, evil gas and many other dirty gases.

It is said that one of the main ingredients is smoky pearls cultivated by the rare Yin beast smoky shell.

It is precisely because of this that it is named Runming Pearl Liquid.

 Some formation mages often purchase this elixir in bulk.

Holding the jade bottle, Luo Chen was ecstatic.

He doesn’t have any eyestrain.

This shortcoming has been solved as early as when the proficiency of spiritual vision reached the perfect level.

 Yesterday, my eyes were bleeding. It was caused by the spiritual eye skill being upgraded to the master level and being rooted in the eyes.

 But naturally he would not push this kind of good thing out.

 After all, this is Mi Shuhua’s heart and soul!

　　“I didn’t even take the initiative to collect the wool, and he just delivered it to my door.”

 “How come I didn’t meet such a good boss in my previous life?”

With some emotion, Luo Chen happily accepted the medicine bottle.

 He decided to take some time to use it. After all, the book said that regular use would be beneficial to the alchemist.

“What are you doing standing around here? Lighting a fire and making elixirs!”

Luo Chen shouted to a large group of people.

Everyone got busy. Gu Caiyi directed the medicine disciples to carry medicinal materials to the alchemy room.

  Qu Hancheng, the new leader of the pyrotechnics team, also assigned six pyrotechnics to each alchemy room.

Two monks are responsible for watching the fire. Even if one of them has a problem, the other one can take care of it at any time.

Moreover, there is Luo Chen walking around to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

 ….

 After dinner, Luo Chen sat in the room.

 He checked the medicine bottle first, and based on his knowledge of pills, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, and then he dropped a drop of liquid into each eye.

 After finishing dripping, he blinked.

 “Refreshing and cool.”

“Other than that, there doesn’t seem to be any changes?”

“This eye drop is very famous, but it has no immediate effect.”

Pocking his lips, Luo Chen put away the medicine bottle.

Mi Shuhua is kind-hearted after all. Please give me a drop of it if you have anything to do in the future!

Just this bottle is enough for a month.

 After putting away the medicine bottle, Luo Chen rubbed his hands and got into the mine tunnel.

 Continue the gold miner game today!

 Excavation!

　　Boom!

　　Boom!

　　Boom!

Since it was deep underground, the sound caused by Luo Chen's opening of the Mountain Breaking Tablet Palm would not be transmitted to Xianyue Valley.

Especially, he also blocked the narrow mine tunnel, which made it even more foolproof.

 An hour later, Luo Chen straightened up.

 “It’s so **** deep!”

 “But we’re almost done, let’s continue in the evening!”

Luo Chenzhu was really thinking about refining elixirs in the afternoon.

Having received so many benefits from Mi Shuhua, why should we let the other party see some results?

 Otherwise, if the other party fails to see any progress, becomes discouraged, and disbands the alchemy hall, where will he go to collect wool in the future?

I have to say that I am used to having a group of people attack me.

He is not willing to let Luo Chen return to the life of handling medicinal materials, watching fire, and refining elixirs by himself.

 Moreover, even if you refine the elixir, you still have to put in the effort to collect the elixir, bottle it, and sell it yourself.

 It feels troublesome just thinking about it. How could it be so easy now?

 …

 “Finally got through!”

 Unconsciously, it was already late at night.

He told the two bodyguards that he would stay in Dantang tonight, so no one would disturb him.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and hit the mountain-breaking tablet palm that had reached the proficiency level directly.

 A spiritual energy gathered into a light cyan transparent palm print that suddenly appeared, and then was pressed down.

 Poof!

Like an eggshell being cracked, the last layer of rock wall was completely shattered.

Almost at the same time, a strong spiritual energy spurted out.

Luo Chen was startled. His robe, which had been activated for a long time, moved automatically in case of any danger.

 Very good, no surprises.

Luo Chen fell directly to the depths of the ground. Looking around, he saw a cave with a diameter of two meters.

 It is a little cramped, but it is more than enough to accommodate Luo Chen.

With his eyes wandering, Luo Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

 “Spiritual stone!”

On the floor of the cave, there was a piece of exposed crystal ore with little silvery lights scattered on it.

Those crystal ores are clearly the prototype of spiritual stones.

It is wrong to call it a spiritual stone.

To be precise, these are all raw spiritual stones!

 The spiritual stones circulated in the world of immortality are almost all similar in terms of specifications, dimensions, and the spiritual energy contained in them.

It is said that spiritual stones are produced in spiritual veins.

 Large-scale sects that occupy spiritual veins mine them and use unique techniques to cut pieces of raw spiritual stone into spiritual stones of the same size.

 Then, spiritual stones are used as currency, circulated to the world of immortality, and resources are purchased and collected from other people.

The spiritual energy contained in those spiritual stones is full of impurities and violent.

So that ordinary monks cannot absorb it directly and can only use it as currency for transactions.

Only some monks from large sects have the means to make spiritual stones and extract pure spiritual energy from them.

Even if you are not in a place with spiritual veins, you can extract the spiritual energy from the spiritual stones you carry and use it for cultivation.

Luo Chen did not have such means, so he could only use the spiritual stones he earned to buy expensive Qi-nourishing pills.

 But it’s different now!

 In front of him was a natural spiritual vein!

 The spiritual energy emitted by the raw spiritual stone ore in the natural spiritual veins can be directly absorbed.

 That's why the major sects built their mountain gates on the spiritual veins of each level.

Luo Chen now has such a spiritual vein.

Although it is very small, it is only an insignificant branch of the first-order spiritual vein in Dahefang.

 But it doesn’t need to support many people’s practice!

 “Sure enough, my guess was correct!”

Luo Chen took a deep breath and felt that the spiritual energy all over his body became active.

 The spiritual energy consumed by punching through the ground today and using the Mountain Breaking Tablet Palm seems to have recovered a lot.

“This place is not big, and it does not contain much raw spiritual stone ore.”

 “But it’s enough to support my practice for a period of time!”

Luo Chen has no idea of ​​digging out the raw spiritual stone ore and selling it.

 First of all, he did not have the means to make standard spiritual stones.

Even if you sell it to the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion and get a large amount of spiritual stones, don’t you still have to use them to buy elixirs for cultivation?

 How much difference will there be in the price between these two transactions?

 It was all made by those black-hearted profiteers.

Secondly, the natural raw spiritual stone ore is like a small spiritual gathering circle, which will naturally attract the free spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth and gather it together.

The reason why those large sects built their mountain gates on spiritual veins is because as long as the spiritual veins are not over-excavated and cultivated for a long enough time, spiritual stones can be born again.

 Leaving this large piece of raw spiritual stone can not only absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

 It can even absorb part of the spiritual energy from the source of the spiritual veins.

"I've picked up too much old man Mi's wool recently, so I can stop for a while."

“It’s always possible to pick up the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect’s spiritual wool.”

Thinking about it like this, Luo Chen became happy.

 But soon, he shook his head.

 What does it mean to pluck wool?

 This is obviously his own.

 After all, I paid rent in the inner city, but I did not enjoy the real first-level spiritual veins.

Those auras have been circled by various shops and even the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion using formations.

 What is left for ordinary residents like Luo Chen is only a handful.

 The concentration of spiritual energy in this cave now belongs to the real first-order spiritual place!

After thinking about this section, Luo Chen no longer has moral shackles, although he didn't have any in the first place.

“Let me see how much spiritual power can be gained by practicing Changchun Gong in a place like this!”

 Sit cross-legged, with your five hearts pointing toward the sky, and the base of your tongue touching the ground.

 Grandmaster-level Changchun Gong is already in operation.
