Longevity begins with alchemy master

Early the next morning, Luo Chen changed into the white fox fur coat from last year, put his hands in his pockets early in the morning, and patrolled his territory.

It has been completely winter, and the snow is falling profusely.

In the Oblique Moon Valley, there is snow everywhere.

In the distance, Luo Chen saw a little kid building a snowman by the gate.

Luo Chen walked over to take a look, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

It's ugly!

Qu Lingjun tilted his head and rushed into the room without saying a word.

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, no way!

I gave you a pill yesterday, why are you so rude today!

But the next moment, he saw Qu Lingjun's little flowerpot running out.

President, President, this is my birthday present for you!

Looking at the plant in the flowerpot that has just revealed its new buds.

Luo Chen opened his mouth, is it my birthday?

Qu Lingjun proudly showed off: This is a soul-cultivating tree, and you gave me the seeds casually before. I used some monster blood that my uncles didn't want, and cultivated it for a while before I got it.

How about it, I'm amazing!

Luo Chen pinched his little face with baby fat, and scolded with a smile: For a long time, you are borrowing flowers to offer Buddha!

hey-hey!

Qu Lingjun smiled innocently, straightened his chest immediately, Ordinary people can't raise this soul-cultivating tree.

Indeed, the Soul Cultivation Tree is very difficult to raise.

But it is not difficult to cultivate.

It is difficult to raise, which is reflected in the fact that it takes a thousand years for a soul nourishing tree to take root and sprout to grow to a usable stage.

Speaking of which, the seeds of this soul-cultivating tree were given to him by Feng Xia on his birthday last year.

Luo Chen didn't care about keeping it in the storage bag all the time.

I saw Qu Lingjun recite and understand The Atlas of Hundred Herbs before, so I just gave it to him and asked him to use it for a while.

Unexpectedly, he really raised it.

Okay, I already know that you have been raised. Don't send me away, you help me raise it first, and then give it to me when you grow up!

Uh-huh.

Qu Lingjun nodded quickly, and carefully carried the flower pot back.

Luo Chen lowered his body, picked up a large handful of snow, and repaired the ugly little snowman.

After a while, Qu Lingjun also joined in.

Who is this snowman? Why does he still have a beard?

It's my father! His beard is hard and piercing, so I glued it with pig hair and used it as a beard.

Then aren't you calling your father a pig?

He's really stupid, not as smart as my mother... No, no, my father is not so handsome, I am more like my mother.

As they piled up, Qu Lingjun's nose turned red.

He raised his head, looked at Luo Chen, and sobbed a bit.

President, I miss my father and mother.

Luo Chen pursed his lips and gently rubbed the little boy's hair.

One big and one small, standing in the wind and snow, made an ugly snowman.

...

Ghost general?

In the Haoyue hall, all the cultivators sat around the stove to warm up.

Luo Chen listened to Zeng Wen's inquiring news in surprise.

Zeng Wen was amazed, Yeah, no one thought that there would be ghosts of the level of ghost generals in the ghost city. The Nangong family who rushed to the front suffered a heavy loss this time!

There are many categories of ghosts.

Those who turn into spirits from yin energy, those who have fallen from the path and turned to ghosts, those who died in the yin and evil lands and turned into ghosts, and even the most classic zombies can all be counted as ghosts.

The classification standard is not the conventional Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.

It's ghost soldiers, ghost generals, and ghost kings.

The reason for this division is that the upper-level ghosts will naturally suppress the lower-level ghosts.

As strong as a ghost king, he can even transform a place into a ghost.

All the ghost cultivators in it will be controlled by the ghost king while gaining benefits.

The battle of the inner city of Dahefang broke out at noon, and there were many monks in it, the number of which was at least 5,000!

After the outbreak, some people died on the spot, and some people were trapped inside by the formation activated by the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion.

Only a very few lucky ones escaped by chance at the very beginning.

When the battle ended, the three ghost kings were blown up by Jindan Swordsman Pang Renxiong.

The essence of ghost energy accumulated for hundreds of years enveloped the inner city on the spot, completely turning it into a ghost.

If it's just like this, you only need to wait for the arrival of the great sect to eliminate the ghost energy in it, and then you can repeat the righteous way of heaven and earth.

However, three months have passed, and Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has not been seen for a long time.

On the contrary, now in that ghost city, there is an existence of ghost general level!

A ghost general, although he can't control a ghost like a ghost king.

However, a little wisdom has been born, and some of the behaviors and habits of his lifetime have been retained.

In addition, being in the midst of ghosts and monsters, the combat power has greatly increased.

Compared with the Foundation Establishment cultivator, I don't know who is higher or lower.

But the monks in the Qi refining period are absolutely irresistible.

Where did it appear? Luo Chen asked curiously.

Zeng Wen said energetically: It is said that it was in the area of ​​Baishi Square. The Nangong family was the deepest at the beginning, and wanted to enter the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion in advance.

After arriving at Baishi Square, I met the ghost general.

Tsk tsk, that's a tragedy! Nine of the ten Nangong family's late Qi refining monks died on the spot.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, Nine?

Yes, only Nangong Qin survived. When Zeng Wen said this, he glanced at Qin Liangchen who was drinking. He's lucky, he has a treasure against ghosts, and a magic weapon given by Zhuji's father.

Relying on the delay of the nine people, they activated the magic weapon and escaped from the area of ​​Baishi Square in embarrassment.

Hearing this result, Murong Qinglian was not without regret.

The old Qin family still remembers Nangongqin's revenge when he led people to surround and kill Qin Liangchen.

Qin Liangchen was noncommittal and didn't express any opinions.

Here, here.

A voice came from his ear, Luo Chen smiled and took a handful of peeled hazelnuts from Gu Caiyi's hand.

Swallowing the jujube into his mouth, Luo Chen asked vaguely:

This kind of thing, the Nangong family should not tell the outside world!

You said it in such detail, how come it seems like you watched it in person?

Zeng Wen chuckled, I wasn't there, but someone from the Li family is there!

The Li family?

Yes, at that time, Li Ao led the team, only to grope around the periphery of Baishi Square, relying on the Qingying Lantern Magical Artifact, and witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

Has the Li family sent someone to explore the ghost town?

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

It seems that during this period of time, the center of gravity of all major forces has been placed in the ghost city.

That's right, there are a lot of resources left in it, but if some are shipped out, it will be faster and more than hard work.

Not much else to say, Luo Chen especially wanted to search for Xianzhuju.

As an industry of Ailao Mountain, all kinds of spiritual materials in Xianzhuju are hard currency.

Especially Earth Fire Sha!

Asked by the side, he was still eloquently talking about the ghost town.

These were all he heard from other guests when he was working in Jintang.

The cultivator of the Li family witnessed the scene of the Nangong family's disastrous defeat, and after they came out, they publicized it.

The purpose is nothing more than to attack the Nangong family, a foreign cultivating family.

After all, when the two families competed together for the beast hall resources of the Poshan Gang, there was a lot of trouble.

During Zeng Wen's narration, everyone gradually understood the current situation of the ghost town.

The most dangerous thing is the area of ​​Baishi Square.

There is a ghost general parading around, and no one can safely enter it.

But outside the range of Baishi Square, the ghost general will not chase him down.

That's why Nangongqin and Li's monks were lucky enough to leave.

The shops of the five major outlanders have long been empty.

All kinds of treasures in it were taken away, and those that could not be taken away were also destroyed.

As for the shops of some small local sects, they are more or less guarded by formations.

All of a sudden, all major forces are trying to crack it.

When mentioning the formation, Luo Chen thought of Min Longyu.

This person seems to belong to the Dajiang Gang, but in fact he should be a monk of the Lianyun Merchant League.

Very good at formations!

Even when fighting, they often use formations to fight against the enemy.

If the Lianyun Merchant League also intends to explore the inner city, as long as they send Min Longyu, the harvest will definitely be far superior to everyone.

It would be great if I, Luo Tianhui, have such a person who is good at formation.

Luo Chen thought of it regrettably.

There are still too few talents in Luo Tianhui, and most of them focus on production monks and combat monks.

These production monks are not just for nothing, they are all playing their own roles.

The spiritual rice planted before, under the auspices of Yuan Dongsheng, grew quite vigorously.

In the coming year, we may be able to reap a small harvest.

The rest of the medicinal materials also benefited from the eruption of the spiritual veins in the inner city, and the scattered spiritual energy made some medicinal materials grow well.

Even when winter is coming, it is necessary to maintain the formation that is like spring all year round, which consumes a lot.

But the things produced by monks also need someone to protect them.

Otherwise, what if it is snatched away by others?

Fighting monks may be able to stand on their own.

But if a battle really breaks out and spreads down, these crops may be nothing but nothing.

In comparison, array repairs like Min Longyu's are very useful.

With such a person presiding over the small five-element formation, as long as the foundation building is not done, the crops planted in the oblique moon valley will be safe and sound.

It's a pity that Luo Tianhui didn't have one.

The only one who understands dot matrix method is Duan Feng.

But most of the formations he knows are related to the casting of magic weapons, and they are all small formations.

In addition to practicing recently, I am busy with apprentices.

According to Luo Chen's previous plan, he planned to bring out a group of smith apprentices and set up a ware hall.

If we want to grow Luo Tianhui, we still have a long way to go!

Luo Chen shook his head and continued to chat with everyone.

The topic also gradually shifted from what I heard in Dahefang to practice.

All the people in the hall are basically Qi-refining ninth-level monks.

Except Zeng Wen and Granny Yuan, who have long been bearish, most of them still have a glimmer of hope for Foundation Establishment.

Under the auspices of Luo Chen, everyone chatted about the problems encountered in practice, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Luo Chen also benefited a lot from the cultivation experience of others.

Perhaps just one or two comprehensions can save him many detours in practice.

The tea party lasted until evening, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

After returning to each house, Luo Chen returned to the alchemy room.

There is no alchemy in the alchemy hall today, so everyone is given a holiday.

Luo Chen rested for a day, and the slight damage to the meridians he suffered before was restored to normal under the conditioning of the nourishing and moistening fluid.

Plus a day of joking and chatting, the state has reached its peak.

Let's try a furnace of Burning Blood Pill first!

Yesterday's successive failures were quite shocking.

Luo Chen planned to refine the blood pill first, not only to give himself more confidence, but also to prepare some goods for the next meeting with Tian Xingzi.

Before making a move, Luo Chen glanced at the attribute panel.

[Introduction to Burning Blood Pill 97/100]

As long as you succeed in one more batch, you can be promoted to the proficient level.

At that time, the success rate can be increased from 10% to 20%.

It is also a small breakthrough.

I have accumulated several failures before, this time refining four raw materials at the same time, how can I succeed in one!

Now for this system, Luo Chen has explored it very clearly.

The so-called probability is actually not as simple as it seems.

For example, in the introductory period, it seems that ten times must succeed once.

actually not!

If you don't concentrate on alchemy every time, and don't try your best, you may fail within ten times.

On the contrary, if you are well prepared, you will be proficient enough in the alchemy recipes and alchemy techniques, as well as various techniques.

It is also possible to succeed once!

It was the first time to refine Burning Blood Pill, which was a good example.

He didn't experience many failures at all, but succeeded the first time.

Young man, every time you do alchemy, you must go all out!

In this way, there is a chance of guarantee!

Luo Chen silently cheered himself up, and then added a green grass demon into the fire pit.

Using this monster body as the pill fire can increase the number of pills.

He has no reason not to.

Before the official alchemy, he looked solemn, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and stimulated the eighteen acupuncture points in his body one by one.

Um……

A muffled groan sounded, and Luo Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the pain caused by the running Mystic Breaking Sha.

He needs this pain!

Not to refine the burning blood pill, but to be familiar with this feeling.

Because, when refining Tongyou Pill later, Mingshen Posha might be able to resist the psychedelic power brought by the Xuehu demon blood.

This is a little inspiration he got when he was communicating with his friends today.

Pain may wake people up from hallucinations.

And if you maintain the pain all the time, it is very likely that you will not fall into that trance hallucination.

After making the preliminary preparations, Luo Chen lowered the medicinal materials one by one.

Afterwards, the alchemy process of Burning Blood Pill began.

For all of this, Luo Chen is already familiar with it.

About two hours later, Luo Chen put away the fourteen Burning Blood Pills in satisfaction.

It is the lowest grade, but Cheng Dan's rate is two out of four.

The proficiency of the burning blood pill has also reached the proficiency level.

Not only that, but the achievement points lost by entering the Tongyou Pill also increased by one.

Now, the number of achievement points.

After the Great Perfection of Spiritual Eye Art, Earth Mountain Art, and Wave Wave Art all advanced to the Perfect Level, and the Burning Blood Pill was promoted to the proficient level, four more were added.

28 achievement points!

While resting, Luo Chen looked at these achievement points and couldn't help feeling an impulse.

If these achievement points are all invested in the two complete second-order pill formulas, I wonder if I can get started?

The reason for this urge to try is mainly because there is no first-order pill in hand.

There are only three second-order pills left, Yulu Pill, Xuesha Pill, and Di Liuzhi.

Among them, he is relatively the most confident about the Blood Fiend Pill.

Unfortunately, the main material is lacking.

Even if you get started, you can't refine it for the time being.

Yuludan has the greatest value!

But it is incomplete, and the achievement points needed to deduce the completion may be an unimaginably huge number.

Emperor Ointment...

Luo Chen shook his head, not to this point yet.

After he is promoted to the foundation building stage, no matter whether it is entry or derivation, he does not need to spend too many achievement points.

Because at that time, it was the corresponding realm, and the achievement points needed to get started were no different from the first-level alchemy recipes for getting started now.

After a brief rest, Luo Chen stood up and stepped into another alchemy room.

Looking at the big bronze tripod, Luo Chen smiled slightly.

Although the Shenmu cauldron is only a middle-grade first-tier, it has additional benefits for refining herbal medicines.

Tongyou Pill has two main materials, one of which is Huanyou Grass.

It should work too.

This time, he gave up the Four Elephant Cauldron and chose the Shenmu Cauldron with a lower rank but with special buffs.

Hope to be able to succeed!

Myojin Breaking Sha began to work, and the severe pain resurfaced.

Luo Chen's face remained unchanged, as if he didn't feel anything, he lowered the raw materials one by one.

after a long time.

Luo Chen walked out of the alchemy room with a calm expression.

Failed!

As expected.

He was not angry, the formula of Tongyou Pill was also incomplete, but he made it up by himself.

Force entry through the system.

All failures are forgivable.

And in this failure, it was confirmed that Myoshin Posha had a significant resistance effect on the hallucinogenic effects of the Xuehu demon blood.

This, on the contrary, is the biggest gain.

Next time, it will definitely work!

...

The next time, it didn't work either.

It wasn't until five days later that Luo Chen stopped refining the Chalcedony Pill and spent a whole day refining the Tongyou Pill by himself, only barely succeeding once.

It took nine times to usher in a good harvest!

Luo Chen looked at the three pills that were as white as ice and snow in his hand, feeling extremely emotional.

Three, only three!

Even though Luo Chen was mentally prepared, he still couldn't stand it.

He knew that apart from the complete main materials, Tongyou Pill was missing half of the auxiliary materials. It took him a lot of time to complete them.

He also knew that there was no second-order alchemy formula like Xuesha Pill, and the supplementary alchemy formula might be inherently deficient.

But he didn't expect that the number of Chengdans was so small.

The cost of one piece of raw material is as high as fifteen pieces of spirit stones, which is far more than eleven pieces of Burning Blood Pill and five pieces of Chalcedony Pill.

In the end, there were only three.

If you don't spread it out and calculate it based on the total cost of real consumption, then wouldn't it be necessary to have one hundred and fifty spirit stones for ten times to get three low-grade Tongyou Pills of the first rank?

This data made Luo Chen unable to hold back again.

He's never been such a loser.

I want to see, what anti-sky effects you have!

Holding three snow-white pills in his palm, Luo Chen entered the Lingmai Cave.

...

He was full of energy, and there were no injuries around him.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, and resolutely swallowed the snow-white pill.

Luo Chen didn't dare to take the burning blood pill with violent medicinal properties after refining it.

Because he knows the direction of the medicine, he needs to try the pill.

But the medicinal properties of Tongyou Pill are aimed at increasing the spiritual accumulation.

The cost is so high, he is reluctant to find a small animal to try the pill.

That being the case, it is better to experience it for yourself!

The elixir enters the body, and then melts at the entrance.

An icy cold feeling rushed straight to the sky.

Luo Chen couldn't help shivering from the cold.

During this tremor, his consciousness was in a trance.

…

In a kitchen full of smoke and smoke, a young man was lying in front of the eaves of the stove, clutching a large handful of black medicinal residues, with a crazy expression.

fail?

fail!

Why, it still failed!

I risked all my wealth to gather these ten raw materials, but now I still can't succeed.

Could it be that I don't have the talent for alchemy?

No, I don't believe it. There are still three raw materials left. I will definitely succeed.

The young man put away the medicinal residues and came to the stream to clean the iron pot.

He practiced spells, practiced skills, and constantly adjusted his state.

On the second day, continue to refine Zhongmiao Wan.

fail!

On the third day, it still failed!

And on the fourth day, that is the last raw material.

With all expectations in mind, and with the most focused and even fanatical attitude, he put all his eggs in one basket.

at last……

It still failed.

The young man opened his mouth, and there was a choked sound in his voice talking to himself.

Fifty spirit stones are all his net worth.

In order to refine Zhongmiao Pills, all of them were put into it.

However, Yidan failed to make it, which means that he has accumulated for many years and lost all his money.

After all, it is a bamboo basket to fetch water, all in vain!

Then, what should we do next?

Luo Chen looked around, the house was bare, and there was not even half a catty of Lingmi left in the rice jar.

Perhaps, I am not suitable for alchemy by nature!

Shouldn't I have this dream of becoming an alchemist and never having to worry about Lingshi again?

He sank into deep self-doubt.

Sitting in the kitchen, he let the smell of failure spread all over his body, as if he was also a failure.

I do not know how long it has been.

At dawn, he slowly got up.

Luo Chen took a look at the situation at home, then poured out the medicine residue and cleaned up the kitchen.

After a brief wash, he left the house and went to the outer city.

Came to a group of buildings with beautiful mountains and clear waters, shaded by bamboo buildings.

Who is coming?

Scattered cultivator Luochen wants to join the Poshan Gang.
