Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

On the dragon's back, the red-robed Taoist looked up into the sky. The sea breeze blew his sleeves and robes, making a hunting sound.

Under the gazes of people who were either curious, wary, or more awe-struck, he looked calm, slowly rose up, and finally boarded this gorgeous spaceship.

His eyes swept over the figures of young monks one after another, and finally stopped on the old man with white beard and hair and a wrinkled face.

"Sang Lao, long time no see. How are you doing?"

Sang Jiugong's wrinkled faces were squeezed together, and he didn't know whether it was a forced smile or something else, but there was always a sense of reluctance.

He cupped his hands to Luo Chen and said, "I can't say it was good or bad, but there were some twists and turns. Come on, please come over here and let's go in and talk."

Luo Chen's eyes swept over his body, and he felt that Sang Jiugong's aura was a little different from before.

However, he would not refuse the other party's invitation.

When you arrive in a new place, if you want to continue your practice steadily, you have to make friends.

Forming cliques doesn't count. In short, many things are much easier when you have more connections.

Immediately, at the invitation of Sang Jiugong, Luo Chen followed him into Feizhou's main hall.

After they left, the young foundation-building monks from Shenyuan City on the flying boat finally relaxed and felt less restrained.

"That must be Demon Lord Qingyang!"

"It must be. At a quick glance last year, I didn't connect the Taoist name Qingyangzi with the Qingyang Demon Lord. Looking at it now, the Jindan master has a restrained charm and deep eyes. He seems ordinary, but in fact he stands tall. It was like a deep pool with no clear depth, giving people a sense of fear that penetrated their bones.”

"Yes, our Huaqing Sect is also considered the famous Nascent Soul Sect in the southwest. There are quite a few golden elixir monks inside, but none of the elders in the middle golden elixir can match the pressure brought by this demon king. Only one An elder who is a great golden elixir monk is comparable to him."

"There is no weak person who can make a name for himself among the casual cultivators. This generation may not have very sophisticated methods, but his killing experience far exceeds that of the strong men of the sect like me. We are now taking the initiative to go out for training, just to erase the peace. The gap between them in this aspect is that their strength is equal to their realm, or even greater than their realm."

"It is rumored that this person is also proficient in the art of casting. If I invite him to join my Xu family in Shangyuan..."

"Haha, don't think about it anymore. This generation of powerful demons has unknown origins and many enemies. Your Jindan family cannot afford such karma."

"I don't know why Mr. Sang took the initiative to invite this person on board the boat."

…

In the hall, Luo Chen sat down casually.

Sang Jiugong took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for him, and then sat down aside.

Luo Chen touched the hot tea cup and smelled the rich tea aroma, knowing that this tea was definitely the best among teas.

The other party invited him so kindly and lowered his posture to pour him tea and water. If it was just a small talk, he would be deceiving himself.

If that's the case, then there's no need to deliberately show off one's posture.

"Sang Lao, if you have anything to do, you might as well speak up!"

"Qingyangzi is so straightforward and straightforward, which saves me from having to talk in circles."

Obviously, Luo Chen's directness made Sang Jiugong relieved.

"You should have finished your term and want to return to the Fulong Mountains!"

"Yeah." Luo Chen nodded.

"I am the same." Sang Jiugong agreed. The mission deadlines he and Luo Chen received were almost the same, which was why they arrived one after another and left at about the same time. "And what I want is very simple, that is, I hope that fellow Taoist friends will accompany me and go back together."

That's it?

Luo Chen frowned, "I'm used to traveling alone. There are so many people in your boat, which will slow down my speed a bit."

Sang Jiugong advised: "Aren't fellow Taoists afraid of encountering robbers on the road?"

"Well……"

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment by the question.

"Sang Lao, are you kidding me? I am a golden elixir monk. Under normal circumstances, who would dare to rob me? Besides, even if someone dares to make trouble, as long as he is not a great monk in the late golden elixir stage, I will have the confidence to come and go. With ease. And if a great monk in the late Golden Core stage wants to do the calamity cultivation, it would be too low a price."

Sang Jiugong shook his head, "Qingyangzi, please don't think too much of Beihai. You must know that the origin of the word "Jie Xiu" is our Beihai Immortal Cultivation World. Who said there are no examples of great monks who have devoted themselves to Jie Xiu."

Luo Chen was stunned, "Is it really true?"

Sang Jiugong lowered his voice, "Do you know, fellow Taoist, that the Xue Sanren, one of the three major Sanren of our Ten Thousand Immortals Association, did something similar in the early years when he was in the late Jindan period?"

All right!

This time, Luo Chen was really shocked by the secret.

Blood Sanren actually served as a calamity cultivator!

When I was still in the late stage of Jindan, this was too... informal!

Seeing Luo Chen's expression, Sang Jiugong felt relieved and quickly said while the iron was hot: "The sea route is dangerous, especially now that the situation in Beihai is turbulent. Some monks who are so poor are desperate to take risks. Fellow Taoist, you can't do it! Why don't you come with us? Going back, the speed may be a bit slower, but the safety will definitely be better.”

Luo Chen hesitated and finally looked at Sang Jiugong.

"Sang Lao, our friendship hasn't reached that level yet, so you probably don't only care about me, right?"

This sentence was like a sharp sword piercing through the blindness in the old man's words.

Sang Lao looked unnatural and wanted to quibble, but under Luo Chen's burning gaze, he finally sighed.

"I was injured, and I am unable to protect this crew, so I need stronger protection."

"Injured?" Luo Chen glanced at the other person and immediately understood where the feeling of disharmony between the breath and body came from when he first met the other person.

Mr. Sang no longer evaded, and said frankly: "I previously accepted the task of entrusting these geniuses of Shenyuan City to protect them and gain experience in killing demons on the first line of defense. It was easy to capture them, but unexpectedly, these core members of the Gaodi family of the sect All of them don’t know what the heavens and the earth are. Several people actually joined forces to try to kill the third-level demon king."

"To be honest, they do have something. A demon king in the early stage of the third level is really no match for them."

"But the commotion was too loud, and the time dragged on for too long, and it attracted more powerful beings."

"In order to prevent someone from dying, I had no choice but to personally take action and fight several demon kings. Although I killed them all, I was also seriously injured."

"Today, it can take three to five days to return to Longyuan Immortal City, and it can take as long as seven or eight days. The distance is neither far nor short. I really can't bear the loss of a few people on this boat if I encounter a bad person. Accountability for the forces behind them.”

"That's why I had no choice but to ask for help from fellow Taoists."

A few words, said eloquently.

Although I don’t know how true the inside story is, it does have a beginning and an end.

Luo Chen listened quietly, noncommittal.

Seeing Luo Chen's unmoved look, Sang Jiugong raised his voice slightly, "Fellow Taoist once asked Huangfu Songdu to retreat in spite of the difficulties. He must be a great monk. If you protect us, we will be safe and sound."

"Besides, the chance of an accident on this route back is not high, and you may not really encounter any trouble."

"Qingyangzi, how about you think that I, Sang Jiugong, owe you a favor?"

First praise, then explain that the danger is not high, and finally make a favor.

The posture is low enough.

Luo Chen looked at the other party with a half-smile.

The favors of their golden elixir monks are not so cheap!

But after thinking about it, Luo Chen was vaguely aware of Sang Jiugong's true intention.

Sometimes, owing others a favor is not necessarily a bad thing!

The so-called friendship means coming and going. When there is no intersection of interests, taking the initiative to owe others a favor means that the two parties are connected.

Obviously, this time the other party's entreaty was just a small matter.

The favor owed was just a small favor, and it wouldn't take much effort to repay it in the future, let alone repay it in life or death.

But this is a good start!

This Sang Jiugong was clearly befriending the Lord of Penghu, Qingyangzi, under the pretext of asking for escort!

After figuring it out, Luo Chen chuckled in his heart.

He also said that he was not going in circles, but he was clearly going in a big circle.

However, this kind of thing is ultimately beneficial to me, and there is no reason to refuse it.

Under Sang Jiugong's gaze, Luo Chen nodded slowly.

"In that case, let's go together!"

Hearing this answer, Sang Jiugong was completely relieved, and a bright smile appeared on his face, as if a chrysanthemum was in full bloom.

Then, Luo Chen sent out a spiritual sound transmission.

The Black King, who was bored in the sea, muttered something, shrunk in size, flew on the flying boat, found a room by himself and curled up.

Sang Jiugong gave instructions to his subordinates, and the flying boat started up again. He himself returned to the palace and exchanged his cultivation experience with Luo Chen.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the so-called exchange of cultivation experiences is not just about talking.

But most of the matters here are carried out among the sects and family monks.

In fact, they not only communicate verbally, but also regularly organize so-called small competitions, large competitions, and even cross-influence competitions to verify their cultivation gains.

In comparison, the frequency of communication between casual cultivators is much lower.

Luo Chen had been coming to the Ten Thousand Immortals Association for five or six years, and he only occasionally communicated with Diaosou, mostly because he asked him for advice on body training.

Luo Chen didn't have much expectations when communicating with Mr. Sang this time. After all, the other party was a little lower than him.

But he didn't expect that Mr. Sang, who had been practicing for a long time, really gave him some small gains.

…

"Ling Zhi, it seems that there are many rules and regulations, and the threshold is very high, but in fact there are so many mysteries."

"If you want to be a good spiritual planter, you must first look at the potential of the spiritual plant itself, secondly look at the growth environment of the spiritual plant, and finally look at the spiritual plantation skills of us spiritual planters."

"The reason is very simple. If it's just the most common wild flowers and grasses, and the barren yellow land, even if we have the power to reach the sky, it's impossible to cultivate the trees that can support the sky."

"In the early years, why was Beihai keen to start a war of development? The reason is that there are too many unexplored high-level spiritual lands in the deep sea where monsters are entrenched. Those spiritual lands can not only promote our cultivation, but also their own territory There are also many spiritual plants growing on it.”

"These spiritual plants have not been harvested by human cultivators like us. Monster beasts have long lifespans and can afford to wait. Some monster races even guard certain types of spiritual plants and continue to harvest the fruits. This is also As a result, the growth life of those spiritual plants is extremely long, often for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. It can be said that once the pioneering war is successful, the benefits from spiritual plants will definitely be one of the largest."

"Fellow Taoists may not know that the current leader of the Split Heaven Stream within the Mo Luo Stream participated in the opening war in his early years and harvested a precious fifth-level medicinal plant from a desert island. He contributed it to Yuan Mo Sect, and Yuan Mo Sect's The ancestor of the gods, Long Yan Dayue, specially trained the Lord of the Splitting Heaven stream from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage. Tsk tsk, this opportunity is simply what we have always dreamed of!"

In addition to being at the fourth level of the golden elixir, Sang Jiugong is also a spiritual cultivator himself.

It was because he was reluctant to bring his superb spiritual planting skills into the coffin that he wanted to leave a legacy before his longevity was approaching.

Over the years, he has begun to recruit disciples and establish a sect.

The address of its sect is not in the Fulong Mountains, but on an ordinary third-level spiritual island within the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

Strictly speaking, he is no longer a casual cultivator.

But no one cares about this kind of thing.

After all, three of the seven great Nascent Soul Masters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association have sects or families.

Listening to the other party's talk, Luo Chen's memories of Ling Zhifu and Ling Zhi emerged again.

He is no stranger to this method.

In the early years when he was in Luo Tianzong, he had Yuan Dongsheng, a spiritual planter, under his command. He also planted spiritual trees and flowers for him outside his Tianlan Peak cave.

This person has passed away, but the things left behind are still in Luo Chen's mind.

At this moment, listening to Sang Jiugong's talk, Luo Chen agreed and asked about some medicinal material cultivation matters that he was concerned about.

The other party was worthy of being Ling Zhifu, who had cultivated fourth-level medicinal materials. He also gave answers to Luo Chen's doubts one by one. Even if he is not good at it, he still gives speculations and suggestions within his ability.

At the end of the conversation, Sang Jiugong sighed.

"I am not greedy for profit and have brought these geniuses from Shenyuan City to the Sanyang Defense Line in a dangerous and illegal manner. It is actually because these people have extraordinary backgrounds and are wealthy. Befriending them will also be of benefit to the Tucson Sect under my command."

Luo Chen was puzzled, "But these people are not our cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. Why don't you make friends with the casual cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Association?"

Sang Jiugong sneered at this.

"Rogue cultivator?"

"This person is not worthy of trust."

"There is a saying that those who have permanent property have perseverance, and those who have no permanent property have no perseverance. If you don't have perseverance, you will do whatever it takes to ward off evil spirits. Qingyangzi, I think you will understand the meaning of this sentence!"

Luo Chen was silent.

How could he not understand the truth here?

He is a wandering cultivator, living in no fixed place and wandering around.

The so-called good and evil are just a matter of a thought. You can be a humble gentleman in front of others, but you can also turn into a masked and robbed cultivator behind others. How can you believe it easily?

On the contrary, for those monks who have fixed properties, the sect families behind them have decided that they cannot act recklessly. Even if you really do something evil, you still have to bear the consequences of being able to run away from the monk but not from the temple!

If it were Luo Chen, he would be more willing to make good friends with the monks of the sect.

but……

"Sang Lao, you seem to have a different regard for me!"

"Ha ha!"

Sang Jiugong laughed and said, "Others don't know you, Qingyangzi, but I know a little bit about you. That 800-mile Penghu, I think it won't be vacant these years!"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, then smiled knowingly.

Looking outside, he sighed.

"So, these monks from Shenyuan City are a treasure."

"Indeed, they are the future hope of all forces. In time, as long as they do not fall, they will surely take charge of one side. Befriending them will be of great benefit to ourselves and our descendants."

Speaking of this, Sang Jiugong suddenly pointed outward.

"Qingyangzi, are you interested in condescending to make friends?"

"Me?" Luo Chen hesitated.

Sang Jiugong nodded, "Yes, with your reputation as the Qingyang Demon Lord spread outside, these children of tomorrow who have been sheltered under the wings of their elders since childhood, besides being in awe, are more curious. If you take the initiative to condescend, They will surely be overjoyed to make friends.”

This time, Luo Chen was really interested.

It's not because of the connections of future generations, but because I think of what Sang Jiugong said before - these people have extraordinary origins and rich wealth!

In other words, they are rich!

His previous plan was to make the Qingyang brand famous in order to earn money from the casual cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Society.

But most of the casual cultivators are poor!

How can the money earned by poor people be compared with the money earned by these "second generation immortals"? It's so refreshing!
