Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

On Pengdao.

One year has passed since Luo Chen announced his retreat.

This year, countless immortal cultivators who wanted to protect the Taoism tried to visit him, but they were all turned away.

The disturbances from the outside world seem to have nothing to do with the eight hundred miles of Penghu.

But it is obvious that the outside world cannot ignore a master-level existence who can refine defensive magic weapons.

Even though Luo Chen claims to be in seclusion, there are still countless people paying attention to his movements and whether he can refine a second defensive magic weapon.

If he can really refine it, it will prove that he really has that strength, and it is not an accidental achievement by luck.

Facing the expectations and doubts from the outside world, Luo Chen seemed unaware.

In the Alchemy Palace.

Luo Chen stared at the Hunyuan Cauldron, which was surrounded by the blazing True Fire. His eyes were extremely bright, and the flames were reflected in his eyes, like golden eyes.

"It has been a full year since the magic weapon embryo was cultivated, and it is time to prepare for the further refinement of the Blue Mysterious Armor."

"An ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law, it's time!"

After calculating the time in his mind, Luo Chen raised his hand and fired a burst of magic power.

Suddenly, the green flames dissipated, and a yellow light flew out of the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Looking closely, he saw a piece of yellow armor that was seven feet tall.

The rich earth-attribute spiritual energy is accumulated on it, giving people a sense of solidity and reliability with just one glance.

There are no patterns or cracks on the armor, just like a seamless heavenly garment.

But Luo Chen knew that this was just an embryo, and whether it could succeed or not would depend on the engraving of the formation.

With a thought, the yellow armor floated in front of him.

On the left hand side, a basin of special black liquid is ready.

The engraving of the formation when refining the magic weapon is very different from the formation under normal circumstances.

Under normal circumstances, when setting up the formation, they will use spirit stones, formation flags, and even mountains and rivers. In short, everything that can be used will be used as much as possible to increase the power of the formation.

But refining a magic weapon is different. The body of the magic weapon is so big that it cannot accommodate many foreign objects.

Therefore, if you want to engrave the formation on it, you have to use something similar to "ink".

This pot of black liquid named "Ink Formation Liquid" is the most common formation ink in the world of immortality.

Speaking of which, Min Longyu asked him to learn calligraphy first before he learned the formations. Now, it seems to be a bit different.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, and his right hand shook, turning slightly red. Even as Luo Chen's magic power surged, his right hand became increasingly red, as if it was congested with blood.

In the attribute panel, the iron-smelting hand, which has been cultivated to the Great Perfection, has been activated.

"Conventional formation masters help casters cast magic weapons and can use talisman pens and ink cones to engrave formations. However, I learned the method of iron smelting hand from Bai Zuoshan classics. It can be used to smelt metal minerals and By setting up an array on the magic weapon embryo, it is even more effective than a conventional array mage."

"There is indeed some way for the Hundred Oriental Mountains to be able to stand on Lengguang Island for many years without falling."

"It's a pity that Lengguang Island was destroyed. I don't know how many of the forces that besieged me at the beginning have survived. Otherwise, I would have wanted to pay a visit in person after I have achieved success."

Thoughts were swirling in his mind, and the red color on his right hand had reached its extreme level, like a red-hot iron.

"The Fine Dust Yuan Technique" rotates naturally, cutting away distracting thoughts.

Luo Chen put his right hand into the iron bucket with great concentration, and immediately made a "chichichi" sound.

When he raised his right hand, a strong stream of ink fluid had already stained it.

Luo Chen was focused on nothing else, all his magic power and spiritual consciousness gathered in one place, and his right hand slowly fell on the armor.

As he turned his fingers, black formations fell on the soft armor.

In fact, as he increased his strength, the black formations penetrated the back of the paper and began to penetrate into the interior of the bright yellow rock armor.

What is now engraved is a first-order formation called Solid Gold Formation, which is also the most basic formation required by many defensive magic weapons. It can strengthen the material stability of the magic weapon itself.

In addition, there are two first-order formations, namely the Spirit Locking Formation and the Qi Gathering Formation, that need to be engraved.

After the first level, there are the second level formations Feather Scale Formation and Xuanguan Formation.

Finally, there is the third-order Minghuang Rock Armor Formation, which is the core of this magic weapon.

Three gates of one level, two gates of second level, and one gate of three levels are superimposed layer by layer, covering all parts of the magic weapon, and finally forming an unbreakable pure defensive magic weapon.

There is no room for failure in this process!

If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted. In serious cases, it may even cause the magic weapon embryo to self-destruct.

If the magic weapon embryo itself is made of good materials, it may be able to barely retain one or two powers depending on its quality, and become the so-called "top quality magic weapon".

But it was obvious that the materials Luo Chen used to try his hand at were not likely to be any better.

Although the cost is not high, if it is destroyed, Luo Chen will feel very uncomfortable.

The cost of spiritual stones is not high, but the cost of time is high!

Others have suitable materials and start refining them directly.

He used the Hunyuan Cauldron to cultivate this magic weapon embryo for a full year.

He doesn't feel sorry for the spirit stone, he feels sorry for this year.

Fortunately, with his Dzogchen-level formation proficiency, there is basically no possibility of failure for a mere first- and second-order formation.

Different from the proficiency of alchemy, the proficiency of formation is more focused on spells. If you can do it, you can do it, if you can't, you can't. Without the failure rate that still exists after the alchemy is completed.

After spending two days, Luo Chen finally successfully engraved three sets of first-order formations and two sets of second-order formations on the embryo of Minghuang Rock Armor.

Next, is the most important and core Minghuang Rock Armor Formation.

Luo Chen didn't rest for a moment, but just adjusted his mentality. He started his iron-smelting hand again, soaked it with ink formation liquid, and began to draw new formation patterns on the armor.

This time, it was different from the silence before.

The layout of the third-order formation has too stringent requirements for conditions.

Even for powerful formation masters, when setting up in the outside world, they need corresponding formation flags, formation plates, and even favorable geographical location.

To engrave it on a mere weapon, the conditions required are even more stringent!

It not only tests the formation master's formation skills, but also considers the strength of the material itself, and even pays attention to the fit between the formation and the magic weapon.

"My embryo is made of average material, so I don't know if it can withstand the complete Minghuang Rock Armor Formation?"

In Luo Chen's slightly worried mood, formation patterns appeared in his hands and gradually landed on the armor.

As the formation patterns were engraved, Luo Chen became more and more surprised.

"It fits so well!"

"Are these earthy mineral materials echoing the Minghuang Rock Armor Formation? Or is the embryo I refined too perfect?"

"No, this feeling seems to have appeared when I refined the Blue Black Armor last time. At that time, I just thought it was a blessing to my soul. Now that the scene reappears, it is obviously not an isolated case."

The perfect fit between the magic weapon embryo and the formation almost distracted Luo Chen.

But in an instant, he adjusted and continued what he was doing.

It took a day.

The khaki armor, which originally had no lines or decorations, began to reveal mysterious and extraordinary patterns after Luo Chen arranged the formation.

Those are all manifestations of the formation.

Luo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief when the Minghuangyan Armor Formation was engraved on it smoothly.

"The next step is to carry out the final cultivation, so that the formation and the material itself can be integrated. In this process, rejection reactions often occur, either because the material itself cannot adapt to the powerful formation, or under the urging , congenital flaws appear.”

"But it cannot be ignored."

Luo Chen took a serious look at the armor and put it into the Hunyuan Cauldron again.

The true fire of dry glory that had been extinguished before started to burn again.

Luo Chen took a pill and sat down cross-legged in front of the Hunyuan Cauldron to meditate.

While adjusting his breath to restore his mana, he looked at the Hunyuan Cauldron, recalling the feeling before.

The magic weapon embryo that has been cultivated for a long time by the Hunyuan Cauldron has a perfect fit with the formation. Such strange things are almost never heard of in the world of immortality.

Why can he experience it twice?

"Is it because of my natal magic weapon, the Hunyuan Cauldron?"

"But I haven't heard that the Hunyuan Cauldron refined in the Qingdan Valley has similar effects! At most, it can increase the yield of one or two elixirs."

"Could it be the extra effect of my Hunyuan Cauldron after being nourished in the Dragon Breeding Basin?"

While thinking hard, an idea suddenly flashed in Luo Chen's mind.

In my memory, a scene suddenly popped into my mind.

In the Cangwu Mountain dungeon, Tian Yezi refined the Hunyuan Cauldron for him.

In the hands of such a famous master forger, refining a mere magic weapon is just a matter of convenience.

But unexpectedly, something happened.

That accident caused all the mineral materials collected by Luo Chen for many years to be consumed, which was even insufficient. Tian Yezi also asked Qingshuang to take action to stabilize the Hunyuan Cauldron with the power of space laws.

And the reason for that accident was because of the strange blood stained on a fire spirit diamond.

Luo Chen had also been curious, but to no avail.

Especially when Tian Yezi broke the restriction later, he once thought that Tian Yezi, the master of casting, had deliberately caused the accident so that the Qingshuang Demon Emperor could take action and spy on the Qingshuang Demon Emperor. space restrictions.

But now it seems that it was not Tian Yezi's plan, but a real accident!

"When the blood was integrated into my Hunyuan Cauldron, it was crazily fused with various materials. It simply refused to accept anyone who came."

"If it were a normal magic weapon, with so many unprocessed materials fused together, it would have self-destructed long ago due to rejection."

"However, my Hunyuan Cauldron is not damaged at all. It was top grade when it was completed. It has become stronger and stronger after years of cultivation. Now, even I cannot use 100% of its power."

"Obviously, that strange drop of blood has a strange effect on various mineral materials."

"Even the Hunyuan Cauldron that is fused with it has a similar effect. The magic weapon embryo cultivated by this is so perfect that even the engraving formation can be perfectly matched."

The memories kept turning, and Luo Chen's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

Although the dragon-raising basin can contain magic weapons, improve its rank, and increase its power, it cannot create something out of nothing based on the original basis of the magic weapons it contains.

The special effect of his Hunyuan Cauldron obviously does not come from the Dragon Breeding Basin, but from that strange drop of blood.

After clarifying all this, Luo Chen suddenly realized it but was also full of doubts.

What kind of creature's blood is that?

Just one drop has such strange power.

If he were the owner of this blood, what state would he be in, or what race would he be?

This time, even though Luo Chen used the knowledge he had accumulated over the years to speculate for a long time, he could not find any relevant information.

In this regard, he could only sigh with emotion.

"Knowing what is happening, but not knowing why, this feeling is really heart-wrenching!"

"But, to me, it's ultimately a good thing."

A good thing indeed!

If the Minghuang Rock Armor can be successfully refined this time, it means that his success can be replicated!

The subsequent refining of the demon emperor's remains, and even the refining of other magic weapons in the future, will be even more powerful, and there is no possibility of failure.

If this kind of thing spreads out, the entire world of immortality will be shaken!

For a moment, Luo Chen's attention was not even on the bright yellow rock armor that was integrating the formation, but on his natal magic weapon.

The Hunyuan Cauldron, his dual cultivation object of life and life, carries infinite possibilities!

…

Half a month later.

Luo Chen opened the air shield that blocked the Hunyuan Cauldron and took out the flawless bright yellow rock armor from inside.

Use the newly carved Ruyi Formation to shrink it and turn it into a yellow armor piece, like a clod of earth.

"The energy is restrained, the formation and the material are perfectly integrated, without any rejection reaction."

"The inner armor was born spontaneously, which is in line with the description of the Penglai Immortal Sect's successful refining method."

"It's done!"

The last two faint words can express the joy in Luo Chen's heart.

But obviously, his joy now is not just the success of refining the magic weapon.

It's the magical effect of Hunyuan Cauldron!

For a moment, he had the urge to directly refine the demon emperor's remains.

But in the end, he endured it.

"I haven't figured out what the upper limit of Hunyuan Cauldron's miraculous effect on casting is. What if it's only effective on ordinary materials and low-grade magic weapons?"

"The previous plan cannot be changed, we should proceed step by step!"

"Not urgent!"

There was no rush in his heart, and Luo Chen became more and more calm when doing other things.

Refining Qi, refining body, practicing formations, and casting weapons are all fully scheduled every day.

When the third Yimu Light Armor Formation was successfully refined in the second year, Luo Chen even made some inferences and gained something else from body refining.

Fusion of various materials that were originally mediocre, removing the dross, extracting the essence, and combining them with formations to create a magic weapon with boundless power. This is the meaning of casting.

What if the human body is also regarded as a magic weapon?

Can we also use the method of casting weapons to temper our bodies?

Refining the body into a powerful magic weapon?

This kind of experience does not come suddenly, but arises spontaneously after a long period of accumulation.

At the same time, there is also a scene that lingers in my mind... Tian Yezi physically resisted the mid-level fourth-level Thunder Prison God Peng without being able to activate the power of the Nascent Soul!

You know, today's body-training practitioners in the world of immortality have long been in decline.

However, Tian Yezi still had good body-refining skills in the Nascent Soul realm, so he must have understood the corresponding body-refining method.

If Luo Chen knew that Tian Yezi even withstood Qingshuang Demon King's palm with his physical strength, he would probably rate Tian Yezi's body-refining skills even three points higher!

Of course, even without knowing it, Luo Chen began to make appropriate adjustments to his body-training techniques in his spare time.

"The Convergence of Ten Thousand Daos" was originally created by him with the help of the system.

Even the name was changed later, taking the strengths of hundreds of schools and bringing all methods back to the same clan.

Even though he had practiced this technique to Dzogchen many years ago, in Luo Chen's view, there was still room for improvement in this technique.

He began to try to incorporate the Hundred Forging Technique, Iron Smelting Technique, Metal Cutting Technique, Snow Blowing Technique and other tool casting techniques into it.

At the same time, he experimentally tempered his body with the fourth-level Black Emperor Cream.

Even if there were no suitable formations, he would also like to have some formations engraved on his body.

It's not like he has never done this kind of thing before, and now he still has a hidden form on his body that can hide the fluctuations of mana.

Don't tell me yet.

With his constant adjustments, although the new "Convergence of Ten Thousand Daos" has not yet been born, his body refining progress has indeed improved significantly.

It has already reached the level of [Ancient Third Level 78/100], and now it is increasing towards the eighty progress bar at a faster speed.

It is conceivable that it is not far from the fourth level of ancient times!

…

Just when Luo Chen was concentrating on the practice of forging weapons, the outside world's attention on him increased to a higher level.

Because that piece of bright yellow rock armor was placed on the shelf of Qingyang.

Known as the treasure of the store, it will not be sold unless it has five hundred thousand spirit stones!

Because of this ridiculously high price and Master Qingyangzi's second attempt, it attracted countless attention among the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.
