Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

"There are many monsters in the North Sea. When I was young, I went to sea with my elders to kill monsters, but this time it was really the biggest battle I have ever seen in my life."

"Yeah, I can't believe that there will be so many monsters and beasts flooding into the city. If it weren't for the complex environment of the Liuyang Sea and the obstruction of the large formation, just these monsters rushing into the hinterland of our human race would bring about Countless disasters.”

"I don't know why those beasts stood still in the ruined city of the sea. It's really strange that they broke out of the Arctic Yemo Sky but didn't leave there."

"I don't know what they want to do, but the sword-light differentiation technique that Fellow Daoist Li used at that time was really amazing!"

On the deck of the flying boat, more than a dozen foundation-building monks gathered together in twos and threes.

While sipping tea and drinking wine, admiring the scenery along the way, they talked about the previous battle in the Liuyang Sea, the first line of defense.

The atmosphere was so leisurely and fun that it didn't look like someone who had just experienced a life-and-death fight.

But it is obvious that after experiencing the battle of blood and fire, everyone's seemingly leisurely face has become a little more mature.

At this moment, they are gathered together, seemingly complimenting each other, but in fact they are exchanging battle experiences and making up for their own shortcomings.

In the crowd, the young man was complimented by Wang An, but he himself had a wry smile on his face.

"You only saw my Qishan Technique, which suppressed three second-level monsters, but you didn't know that this technique almost consumed all my spiritual power. If my senior brother hadn't been there to protect me, I would have been depleted of spiritual power. , I will let the monsters slaughter me."

Others were surprised, "Does Qishan Technique consume so much spiritual energy?"

Wang An said distressedly: "I didn't notice it when I practiced before. Qishan Technique is one of the most famous third-level spells in Langya Mountain, and its ability to suppress is outstanding. I have practiced it for many years and regard it as a means of suppressing the bottom of the case. Think about the disadvantages when fighting."

The same spell, released in the hands of different people, will naturally have different powers.

Similarly, under different circumstances, different changes will occur during spell casting.

Wang An usually practices, often just to the point, and it will not affect his own practice.

But during the battle, there were too many monsters. In order to relieve the pressure on his senior brother, he activated his transitional spiritual power.

When he discovered it, it was too late to stop him. He just felt that the spiritual energy in his body was pouring out like a tide, and he could hardly control himself.

In front of everyone, Wang An demonstrated the Qishan technique on the spot.

Above the deck, an illusory mountain peak with condensed spiritual power suddenly appeared.

Although there is an intention to suppress it, it is definitely not possible to suppress three monsters of the same level at the same time.

Wang An said with a distressed expression: "This is the Qishan Technique under normal conditions. If it reaches the situation on the battlefield, it will cause irreversible leakage of spiritual power. Such consequences will make me no longer able to protect myself. . If this problem cannot be solved, Wang will really not dare to use this method of suppressing the situation again in the future."

Upon seeing this, the others, although they did not understand the specific practice of Qishan Shu, gave their own speculations and opinions, hoping to help Wang An.

After this battle, the relationship between them became much more harmonious, and they were now comrades in arms after all.

Maybe because of this fate, a hundred years later, when each takes charge of a side, these connections will become their external help.

But it is obvious that other people's opinions are just scratching the surface and cannot solve Wang An's current predicament.

It would be great if the elders of the sect who have practiced Qishan Technique are here and can give him some guidance.

But now that Langya Mountain has joined the Canghai Alliance and is deeply involved in the war between good and evil, there is no golden elixir elder to solve Wang An's doubts.

Just when Wang An was disappointed and was about to stop this topic and join other topics for discussion, a cold voice came from the door of the largest hall in the center of the flying boat.

"Your method is wrong."

Wang An was stunned and turned his head subconsciously.

Others did the same, and all their eyes fell on the red-robed Taoist.

It's Qingyang Demon Lord!

Under the gaze of everyone, Luo Chen walked step by step.

Glancing at Wang An, he spoke slowly.

"Although I don't understand the specific training steps of your spell, it is obvious that the essence of this technique is to use four ounces of force to exert a force several times your own to suppress it with force, right?"

Wang An was extremely shocked, "Senior, it is indeed the case."

"Then your technique is indeed wrong." Luo Chen smiled confidently, "Your spiritual power output is too strong, lacking in skill and detours. What is needed for these four-two-pound techniques is the technique of overcoming rigidity with softness. It's not as good as that. , when you try to perform the technique, let the spiritual power gushing out from the sea of ​​qi circulate through the meridians in the body for a few rounds, and then pour it out with your spiritual art."

Wang An was dubious. Wouldn't that cause the meridians to be blocked by excessive spiritual power and damage the meridians?

In addition, if we really do that, the operation time will be much slower!

But under the expectation of everyone and the encouraging gaze of Luo Chen, he tentatively used the spiritual secret again to mobilize the spiritual power of the sea of ​​​​qi in his body.

This process is a bit slow, twice as slow as before, but it is indeed done according to Luo Chen's teachings.

The moment the spell takes shape.

boom!

Suddenly, a huge force of gravity came from above, slowing down the speeding ship.

"this!"

Wang An's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

Senior Brother Langyashan beside him subconsciously blurted out, "That's it. On the battlefield at that time, the power of your Qishan Technique, junior brother, was almost the same as it is now."

While admiring him, he curiously asked Wang An.

"Junior brother, how much spiritual power have you mobilized this time?"

Wang An swallowed, "Less than one-third of the total."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

A spell that previously required the whole body's spiritual power to be unleashed can now be cast with only a third of the energy required.

There may not be an upper limit for the increase in power, but it can obviously leave enough spiritual power for Wang An so that he will not be powerless and have no spiritual power to protect himself after performing this move.

And this is just a few words of guidance from Demon Lord Qingyang.

Wang An was so ecstatic that he immediately asked more questions, the same ones he had thought of before.

Luo Chen looked like he had expected this.

"Such third-level spells are not something that you, the foundation-building cultivators, can master. If you want to obtain the corresponding power, you have to pay a certain price. The damage to the meridians caused by excessive spiritual power expansion is one of the prices. "

"As for the execution time you said is too slow, that's not a problem with the technique I taught you, it's just that you're not proficient enough."

Wang An suddenly understood.

This technique was indeed not taught to him by the elders of the sect, but he learned it secretly after establishing the foundation.

He had only a partial understanding of the taboos.

At this moment, with Luo Chen's guidance, he suddenly became enlightened.

No wonder the spiritual power in the body would be out of control when the Qishan Technique was used before.

It is said that four ounces can move a thousand pounds, but if the force of the thousand pounds in his hand completely overwhelms the spiritual power in his body, it will lead to a reversal of subject and object.

At that time, it is not the person who casts the spell, but the spell that drags the person forward.

While suddenly enlightened, Wang An was a little troubled.

It seems that this move cannot be used alone in the future. He needs a companion to hold it in front so that he can have enough time to release it.

Suddenly, Luo Chen smiled slightly.

"Actually, from my point of view, if this technique is slightly improved, it is not impossible to use it in a suitable combat environment."

"You try to spread the spiritual power first, attach it to the nearby rocks and soil, and finally use the spiritual power in your body to perform the Qishan Technique again. The effect may be better."

Wang An was dubious.

At this moment, the speed of the airship slowed down and it passed an island.

It was as if an experimental environment had been prepared for him.

Wang An still had a lot of spiritual power left in his body, so he immediately followed Luo Chen's improved method and used the Qishan Technique.

In front of everyone's attention, the illusory spiritual power peak appeared again.

But this time, countless rocks and soil on the earth that were attached to Wang An's own spiritual power were constantly filling it from bottom to top.

That suppressive power gradually increased the upper limit, until eventually, even a great monk in the late stage of foundation building felt sluggish and couldn't help himself.

Luo Chen looked at this scene with a look in his eyes.

Although he did not have a specific practice method for this Qishan Technique, the path he followed was almost the same as the Tuyue Technique and Landslide Technique that he had learned before.

It's just that Earth Moon Technique focuses more on suppression, while Landslide Technique is a fusion spell of the three elements of earth, water, and fire, focusing more on the explosion of the fire element.

In this case, Qishan Technique can naturally absorb the advantages of the two magic techniques that Luo Chen practiced back then.

Artificial hand external objects increase the power of spells.

Wang An's face was red, and he looked like he couldn't help himself with excitement.

He wanted to ask more questions, but he was already squeezed out of his position by the others.

Everyone could see that the Qingyang Demon Lord was not as domineering and murderous as the rumors said, and he was in a good mood today and was willing to give them guidance.

Given this great opportunity, why not ask me a few questions.

"Senior Qingyangzi, I want to know why when I am fighting monsters, the flying sword I control always deviates, even though my spiritual consciousness is locked on the attack site."

"You show me."

When the monk heard this, he immediately practiced using the flying sword.

After Luo Chen looked at it, he nodded first, then shook his head.

"Your foundation is really good, and your spiritual power is pure and deep. However, your basic traction technique has gone awry and is still at the stage of spiritual power control. As monks like us, after establishing the foundation, spiritual consciousness is the first step in controlling external objects. One method. It can be seen that you are an ascetic, but you still need to study the methods of protecting the Tao."

"That's it. Thank you, senior, for clearing up the confusion."

"It's my turn, it's my turn. Senior Qingyangzi, I faced a monster before, but under its attack, even if I exploded with extreme speed, I still couldn't avoid its attack. If it hadn't been for the gift of the elders of the sect, I’m afraid that all the protective measures I have taken have been destroyed. Could it be that there is something wrong with my secret technique?”

"What kind of monster is that?"

"It has three eyes and four legs. It looks like a beast and a fish. By the way, its feet have wide and thick webs."

"Then this is not your problem. This is a three-eyed beast. It is good at controlling sea water from birth. When it grows up, it will be a third-level demon king. Even if I and other Jindan monks meet at sea, we must avoid it as much as possible. You are lucky. , what we encountered should be an underage three-eyed green beast, otherwise even with the protective means given by our elders, we would not be able to withstand its attack."

…

In the corner, Sang Jiugong watched this scene with a smile.

Just looking at it, his face became serious.

The questions asked by these foundation-building monks were not very difficult, but the aspects involved were different.

There are magic skills, cultivation skills, combat skills, monster attack methods, and even body skills, magic weapons, and magic weapons.

It's so complicated that even though Sang Jiugong lived for more than 400 years, he might not be able to answer it one by one.

But Qingyangzi answered it easily.

Even if something is unfamiliar at first glance and is not something Qingyangzi is good at, the other party can still give some high-level suggestions after careful inquiry.

The monks who were instructed by him all gained something after some experiments, and almost no one came back disappointed.

"I used to only think that Qingyangzi had superb cultivation and superb fighting skills. Later, after getting in touch with him, I found that this person was also very sophisticated in mind and words. I didn't expect that the other party was also so knowledgeable in knowledge. Broad knowledge.”

"If the other party hadn't claimed to be young, I would have thought he was one of those old monsters who have been practicing for four to five hundred years."

The so-called Taoist methods and mental skills can all be practiced, and they vary from person to person.

But knowledge of this area requires a lot of accumulation, and there are no shortcuts.

The erudition shown by Luo Chen now shows that the other party is not an ascetic monk who works behind closed doors and only knows how to cultivate.

Such people usually don't encounter any difficulties at all, but once they do, it will definitely be difficult.

In order to befriend him, I deliberately made a favor, but I didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

For a moment, Sang Jiugong felt vaguely regretful.

There was a cough from the front.

"It's only half a day's journey from Longyuan Immortal City. After returning, I will be practicing in seclusion, so your visit is unnecessary."

"However, if you are in need of cultivation resources, you may want to go to the Qingyang Ship in Longyuan City to take a look. It is a small industry of mine. Occasionally, I will put some gadgets I refine in my spare time. Qingyang, if you like it, you can buy one or two to play with."

After saying that, Luo Chen ended his sermon on the sea and walked towards Sang Jiugong.

Sang Jiugong forced out a smile and greeted everyone.

"Everyone, don't be in a hurry when you go to Longyuan Immortal City. There will be a Longyuan auction soon. You can also go and experience it. Maybe the Longyuan auction is not as good as the one in Shenyuan City, but among casual cultivators, There are often some high-quality resources out there, which is always good to open your eyes and increase your knowledge.”

After the two sang in harmony, they all returned to the inner hall, and the noise from the outside world stopped reaching their ears.

As soon as he entered, Sang Jiugong was filled with emotion.

"Fellow Taoist said before that I almost thought I was meeting some elders of the Nascent Soul Sect. His casual words can enlighten people, and he can clear up others' confusions with just a few pointers. He is really...well-read and well-informed. !”

The last sentence, after holding it back for a long time, came out with the words "erudite and knowledgeable".

In response, Luo Chen pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word.

He had really done this kind of thing before. Whether it was his relatives and friends or the low-level monks of Luo Tian Sect, he did not hesitate to give advice.

Even on the day when the pill formation was successful, a poem containing the method of pill formation was passed down to countless cultivators in Tianlan Immortal City.

From this point of view, Luo Chen has never been a stingy person.

Seeing that Luo Chen was silent, Sang Jiugong gritted his teeth and said, "Qingyangzi, if you have time, you can go to my Tusang Gate and give some advice to my incompetent disciples!"

He felt that the favor he had promised before was too small, and if he made great efforts to repay it in the future, he would be at a huge disadvantage.

Just break the pot and owe more small favors. If you accumulate a little, you won't lose anything in return.

Luo Chen shook his head, "Forget it, I really have to stay in seclusion for a while when I go back, and I don't have time to go out."

Sang Jiugong was stunned, "I thought you were just trying to shirk the blame before, but it turns out it's true!"

Luo Chen hummed.

Now that he has discovered the magical function of Hunyuan Cauldron, it is impossible for him to leave it empty.

Especially the remains of the Demon Emperor in his hand, which had been left there for long enough.

It was time for him to speed up his progress and put the refining of defensive magic weapons on the agenda as soon as possible.

…

Half a day later, the flying boat landed in Longyuan Immortal City.

A group of foundation-building monks were free to move around, while Luo Chen and Sang Jiugong first went to the Demon Hunting Department to submit tasks.

After saying goodbye to each other, Luo Chen rushed back to Penghu eight hundred miles away without stopping.

After returning, he summoned Tianxuan and Zhang Jiadi.

"Four things!"

"First, take the defensive magic weapon I refined and go to the Longyuan auction in the name of Qingyangzi!"

"Second, these are the talismans and seals drawn by Lord Lushan himself. They are all sold at Qingyang. We also informed the casual cultivators that there will be different grades of talismans and seals for sale every year in the future."

"Third, for those casual cultivators who trade with you, privately issue tasks to find two medicinal materials, purple monkey flower and Five Elements Lotus Platform, for me. If there are no medicinal materials, news will be fine!"

"Finally, take this list of mineral materials and buy them for me with all your strength. Come to me to get the spiritual stone Tianxuan you need. If you don't have enough connections, then go to Diaosou from the Monster Hunting Department. He will be open to me. The door of convenience.”

Tianxuan and Zhang Jiadi wrote down these four things carefully, not daring to omit anything.

The Lord was away for a year, and as soon as he came back, he hurriedly sent out tasks. This shows that everything is very important to him, and they can't delay at all.

After the two left.

Luo Chen stepped into the Star Dou Palace where he had not returned for a long time and took out an iron slip from the storage ring.

His eyes fell on the core formation.

Liangyi Liujia Formation.

This formation is a fourth-level combined formation, which is composed of the third-level Liangyi Formation and six sets of third-level defensive armor formations.

Youlan Black Armor Formation, Minghuangyan Armor Formation, Yimu Light Armor Formation, Gengjin Thick Armor Formation, Yanyang Prison Armor Formation, and Psychic Cloud Armor Formation.

Next, he must master these six armor formations skillfully and use them as the core to refine a third-level low-grade defensive magic weapon.

Finally, Liujia was used to fuse the two ritual formations to refine the demon emperor's remains.

If he continues step by step in this way, he will surely be able to refine his own Tao-protecting treasure, Luo Chen!

"It's a bit tedious, but hopefully worth it in the end."

Luo Chen murmured, his eyes as firm as ever.
