Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy - Chapter 687

Chapter 687 Cleansing the soul, Haijiao Tianmu

 The void is swaying, and the vision is distorted.

 Unable to tell whether it was a change in the outside world or an illusion of his own perception, Luo Chen was transported to a new realm in the stone house.

 The second level!

 Before Luo Chen had time to gain a foothold, he subconsciously penetrated the storage ring with his spiritual consciousness.

 Those precious bamboo slips cannot be taken away, but what about the remaining spiritual root pills and other elixirs that I refined with my own hands?

Under the perception of his spiritual consciousness, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

 “Fortunately, everything is here!”

These three kinds of elixirs are not of high grade, only first and second grade.

 However, the auxiliary materials required for refining are extremely difficult to find in the mountains and seas.

Several of them, Luo Chen had never heard of them before, and only knew them through bamboo slips in the alchemy world.

  In other words.

Even if he leaves the Demonic Land, it will be difficult for him to reproduce this elixir in the outside world, unless he spends great efforts to improve the elixir recipe.

While feeling fortunate, Luo Chen also felt increasingly regretful.

“If this elixir can be spread throughout the world of mountains and seas, I may be able to change the landscape of this world!”

 The world of mountains and seas is dominated by immortal cultivators.

 But the main number is made up of countless mortals who are hard to estimate.

These mortals, placed in the Eastern Wasteland, were kept in captivity by large sects to help collect basic materials and provide logistics for cultivating immortal seedlings. They were more efficiently utilized in Beihai, but they were only consumables to assist the large and small forces in doing some chores.

But if these huge mortals can borrow the Spiritual Root Pill to practice, even if they only reach the early or middle stage of Qi refining, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to the world of immortality.

 At that time, everyone can practice cultivation and everyone will be like a dragon. Such a prospect…

“I’m probably overthinking it. Even if it is possible, there are not enough resources to support their practice.”

Luo Chen sighed with emotion and turned his attention to the new territory where he had a firm foothold.

 “Is this the second level?”

 He walked forward slowly, his eyes falling on the exotic flowers and plants under him.

 Like the first level, there are all kinds of medicinal materials.

 The difference is that the spiritual energy contained in the medicinal materials below is much stronger than that in the first level.

According to his estimation, the overall age has been raised from five hundred years and below to less than a thousand years, but the outstanding ones are around seven or eight hundred years old.

 Higher-grade medicinal materials mean that elixirs refined from them will also be of higher-grade.

 This was quite expected by Luo Chen.

 The second level is a little more difficult than the first level, that’s normal, right?

 Except for his eyes, Luo Chen’s consciousness was constantly spreading, as if he was trying to find someone.

finally.

　　When he arrived at a stone house similar to the one in the first level, his spiritual consciousness did not find a second person besides him.

Facing this result, Luo Chen didn’t know whether he was happy or worried.

  Luckily, we naturally did not encounter any competitors and avoided possible battles.

 Worried, it is obviously that the other party is probably ahead of him, and has not only passed the first hurdle, but has now also crossed the second hurdle.

 Count the days.

It has been about four years since Luo Chen entered the Land of the Demonic Demon.

 Li Wangtian and Five Elements Heaven took him two years, and Ming Zhaotian’s Alchemy Refining in the Alchemy Realm took him another two years.

 But in fact, the Demonic Land has been open for five years!

Luo Chen delayed setting foot in this place for a year.

 This also means that the time that the forerunner spends in the inheritance place can be as little as two years and as much as four or five years.

Conquering two levels in such a short period of time shows that the opponent’s alchemy skills are extraordinary!

In this case, Luo Chen had to consider one thing, that is, would the other party be one step ahead of him, pass all the tests in advance, and obtain the alchemy inheritance of Demon Lord Alchemy?

Facing this result, an invisible sense of urgency hangs in my heart.

 “That’s all, let’s take a look at the test questions first!”

 Hum…

The red-robed Taoist opened two stone doors, followed by a gravel road, and the three rooms of Alchemy and Medicine came into view.

 The same layout means that the subsequent assessments are also similar, the only difference is the test questions.

 …

　　【Human beings are the spirit of all things, and demons are the true spirits of heaven and earth.

But humans and monsters have a different path. The short lifespan gives the human race intelligent wisdom, but the long years make the demon race dull. Under the same realm, the demon race is definitely no match for the human race.

From my point of view, the difference is not only in the use of external objects, but also in the way of cultivation.

 We, the alchemists… refine the corresponding elixirs and break through the different paths of human beings and monsters】

On the same mahogany desk, Luo Chen held the jade slip and slowly read the test questions left on it.

 It’s just that after reading it, my face was full of doubts.

 In his opinion, the difference between humans and monsters is indeed the use of external objects!

Qi refining monks face first-level demon beasts, foundation-building true cultivators face second-level demon beasts, and even golden elixir monks face third-level demon kings. The reason why they have an advantage is because they have magic weapons, formations, talismans, and seals. external aids.

How can he refine specific elixirs to bridge the gap in this area?

 Shouldn’t it be possible to teach low-level monsters how to use foreign objects proficiently?

 Bewildered, all over his face.

 But at least one thing, Luo Chen vaguely grasped the pattern.

 At the first level, the Heavenly Demon Lord asked him to open the barrier between immortals and mortals, targeting the human race.

 The second level, the so-called different paths for humans and demons, focuses on the demon race.

According to what Tai Sui said…provided he did not lie to himself, the origin of the Heavenly Demon King was very strange. He could be said to be neither human, nor demon, nor demon, but he could also be said to be all three.

 Because the other party is a “hybrid” who has the three major bloodlines of human, demon and demon at the same time.

 It may be a bit disrespectful to say this.

 But this is the fact.

If this is the case, the first two levels are dominated by humans and demons respectively, and then the third level is likely to be dominated by demons.

 In this case, a problem arises.

 Luo Chen is familiar with both the human race and the demon race.

  The demon clan…

“Thinking too far ahead, let’s focus on the present!”

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen picked up the jade slip again, savored it and thought about it over and over again.

How to smooth the gap in combat power between humans and monsters in the same realm?

Only by grasping the essence of the problem first can we prescribe the right medicine and refine the elixir accordingly.

 …

Time passed slowly, and a few days later, Luo Chen vaguely thought about something.

 The so-called difference between humans and monsters is actually not in the physical body and qualifications, but in the wisdom and soul.

 Human beings are born with a short life span.

 In order to seek immortality, one has to work hard and delve into the avenue.

 The use of foreign objects is essentially a derivative of wisdom.

But the monster race is different. Most monster beasts are born for a long time, so they do not have such urgent need for cultivation.

 Hence, the path of cultivation of the demon clan has not been aimed at the soul from the very beginning, but rather the accumulation of power itself.

It is precisely because of the difference in starting points that the subsequent cultivation paths of the human and demon races gradually drifted apart.

Although humans refine their Qi, they pay more attention to their souls. When they reach a high level, their physical body’s magic power is not as important as their souls. For example, Han Zhan can still live on forever even if his body is destroyed.

However, the demon clan, relying on its huge body, can accumulate terrifying spiritual energy in its body, and can even condense the demon elixir one step ahead of humans at the second level.

You must know that the human race can only condense the golden elixir in the golden elixir stage. If you compare power to work, the demon race actually uses tools based on instinct at the beginning.

 “My first intuitive feeling was wrong.”

“Because of the innate physical advantages of the demon clan, they have instinctively relied on external objects (power) from the beginning and neglected to temper the essence of their souls, resulting in a slow step and a slow step.”

“And power requires the wisdom of the soul to control it. Although there is huge demonic power, it cannot be controlled freely, and it cannot even rely on tools to double the output. Only in this way can it be defeated by humans of the same level.”

“If you want to change this problem, just strengthen the soul.”

 After sorting out this point, Luo Chen gradually sorted out a thread from the chaotic lines.

 The fact that he was able to “solve the problem” so quickly was due to Luo Chen’s long-term dealings with Hei Wang and Tianxuan.

Especially for Tianxuan, Luo Chen personally checked her body and created tailor-made exercises for her.

It can be said that among the current human cultivators, Luo Chen is definitely at the forefront when it comes to understanding of monsters and beasts.

Now that the problem has been solved, it is easy to solve the problem.

He really knows how to make the elixir for a powerful soul, and he even has it on hand!

With a flash of inspiration in his hand, a second-level top-quality Tongyou Pill appeared in his hand.

 Luo Chen paid attention to the changes around him.

no change.

“Um?”

“Is it possible that those who sense the results of the assessment must be in the alchemy room?”

Luo Chen hesitated and came to the alchemy room.

 But even if he took out the Tongyou Pill, there was still no change.

The voice with the weakness that could not be concealed did not appear.

 “What does this mean?” Luo Chen’s expression darkened.

 You can’t always bring your own answers, so they don’t count, right?

 The Tongyou Pill is not only for immortal cultivators. He has also tried it on Tianxuan, and it is indeed effective!

  Feeling irritable, Luo Chen returned to the study again.

He glanced across the bookshelves, paused, and finally came to the jade slips on the desk.

His spiritual consciousness penetrated it, and the test question echoed in his ears again.

 “Could it be that I went off topic?”

 …

Luo Chen couldn’t find the answer. After thinking hard for another day, he chose to start from scratch.

 What does it mean to start from scratch?

Those are naturally the bamboo slips on the bookshelf in the reading room.

 Compared with the first level, there are many fewer bamboo slips in this second level.

 There are less than 10,000 volumes, only a few thousand volumes.

And the content no longer recorded all the medicinal material information. What surprised Luo Chen was that he discovered several unique alchemy techniques on it.

 Yes, alchemy!

 Such as Luo Chen’s original alchemy skills such as Su Xin Shou and Jade Hand.

 They are different from alchemy methods. They are small methods and focus more on the processing of medicinal materials.

Various alchemy techniques target various medicinal materials.

Like Su Xin Shou, he is good at handling medicinal materials with wood properties. This technique must be used for some medicinal materials that cannot touch the ground and be contaminated by dust.

The Jade-Breaking Hand and the Star-picking Hand are good at processing earthy and mineral medicinal materials. They must be used for some elixirs that use jade as the material.

Luo Chen learned a lot of basic alchemy skills in his early years, but the later he got, the less basic alchemy skills he learned.

The last time he learned a new alchemy technique was from the Burning Crane Technique taught to him by Mu Yunyan from the Luoyun Sect during the exchange.

 This time, Luo Chen was quite surprised by the several alchemy techniques he obtained.

 The art of air control is specially used to deal with various “spiritual energy” medicinal materials.

 What are reiki medicinal materials?

 Some elixirs do not only rely on the medicinal materials themselves. Before the refining is completed, a large amount of special spiritual energy needs to be introduced into them.

 But the auras in the world are mixed together, and there are few places as single and pure as the Five Elements Heaven.

Unless it is something like the best spiritual stone that contains a large amount of single spiritual energy.

 Obviously, no alchemist is willing to use the best spiritual stones to make alchemy.

In this case, we can only guide the spiritual energy from the outside in, rely on the formation to filter and shield, and introduce a certain spiritual energy alone.

 No matter how good the formation is, there will be some omissions.

Just like a cultivator practicing immortality, even a single spiritual root will passively absorb spiritual energy of other attributes into the body during cultivation. This situation has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that those with a single spiritual root can cast spells with other attributes, but the disadvantage is that it affects the speed of cultivation.

 Back to the topic, there is clearly one art of air control, which can accurately distinguish the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and select elixirs for use in medicine.

If you can master this technique proficiently, it will be a qualitative leap for Luo Chen’s alchemy technique.

 Even for cultivation, it has considerable benefits.

In addition to the air control technique, there are also alchemy techniques such as the light absorption method and the Wuxiang Shou that Luo Chen found to be unfathomable at first glance.

According to the records on the bamboo slips, the method of absorbing light can capture all kinds of light in nature and use it as medicine, which is mysterious and mysterious.

The Wuxiang Hand is also known as Wuxiang Controls the Void, and can refine some illusory and incorporeal existences into medicine. As for what is an illusory and incorporeal existence?

The bamboo slips briefly listed several types, including the seven emotions and six desires, resentment, hatred and separation, etc.

 These descriptions really made Luo Chen enjoy it and even opened his eyes.

 Even emotions can be used as medicinal materials to refine elixirs?

Of course, such incredible alchemy techniques require extremely high training requirements. Luo Chen cannot learn them in a short time, so he can only memorize them firmly.

In the process of reading a group of books like this, Luo Chen gradually gained a new understanding of the test question left by Demon Lord Liantian.

 This day.

 At the desk, Luo Chen sat quietly for a long time, and finally slowly picked up his pen.

 Write down the name of each medicine.

“I made a misunderstanding before. I just want to resolve the difference between humans and monsters and strengthen my soul.”

“Actually, due to the long lifespan and the accumulation of years, the soul of the monster beast is no less than that of a strong human being of the same level.”

“The reason why it is weak is not quantity, but quality!”

“That huge soul has become turbid due to the vicissitudes of time. Even though it is huge, it is not as refined as the human soul.”

“So, to solve this problem, the key point is not to strengthen the soul, but to purify it.”

“According to the records on the bamboo slips in the study, the soul-draining grass has the effect of cleansing the soul and clearing the mind. Using it as the main material may be used to refine the corresponding soul-cleansing elixir. As for the auxiliary materials, the red rosy flowers and rotten flowers should be used. Ghost Vine… If this elixir can be successful, I may also benefit from it. “

“Just wandering the soul is not advisable. The method of demon cultivating has always been rough. The reason why they have a huge soul but are fragile is also because of the mixed mana. Therefore, the demon cultivator’s mana must be refined. In this regard, I have immortal cultivators. Using the commonly used elf pills as a basis, you can create your own pure demon power elixir specifically for the demon clan.”

 …

“Cleaning Qi and Draining Soul, these two elixirs are the answers I gave in this assessment!”

one year later.

In the alchemy room, Luo Chen held two pills, one black and one white, in his hand and read loudly.

This time, the weak voice reappeared leisurely.

“Purifying Qi Pill, a third-level low-grade pill that can help demons cultivate their pure mana.”

“Soul-Draining Pill, a third-level low-grade pill, can help demons cultivate their clarity of mind and purify their souls.”

 “The assessment result is excellent, passed!”

 Luo Chen, who was confident, smiled slightly and clenched the two pills in his fists.

 The scene in front of him began to twist and collapse.

With the uncertainty between reality and reality, his figure gradually appeared on a mountaintop.

 At the foot of the mountain, an old woman was holding a medicine bag and diligently picking spiritual fruits.

 In an instant, the two eyes collided.

Luo Chen cupped his hands and said condescendingly, “Demon Lord Qingyang, I have met fellow Taoist!”

The old woman slowly straightened her back and said, “I am from Haijiao, Tianmu, and I have met fellow Taoist priests!”
