Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 444: Pill-forming elixir, Mingyuan Pill is made

The fastest way to enter the Ten Thousand Python Cave is naturally from the Snow Valley, but there are too many low-level snow pythons entrenched in it, and it is easy to scare the snakes away.

The reason why I was able to discover the nine-striped snake saliva fruit back then was because I was in the outside world, tracking a young python that had never grown up, and followed it all the way in from another place.

The entrance is very hidden. The last time I came to see it, it had not been destroyed.

Everyone knows the secret technique of concealing their aura, so use it as much as possible to avoid being discovered by monsters.

In the deep tunnel.

A group of five people advanced quietly.

Fu Jiusheng was at the front, using spiritual sound transmission from time to time to explain the doubts in everyone's minds.

Luo Chen was still protected in the center.

Listening to Fu Jiusheng's words, a pair of spiritual eyes kept scanning the surrounding situation.

It's better to say it's a snake path than an tunnel.

There is greasy mucus on the nearby mountain walls. It can be seen that there are still monsters walking through this trail to this day.

Nine-striped snake saliva fruit matures once every ninety years, and the sign of maturity is the appearance of nine white lines on the fruit.

Dan Chenzi, you must pay attention later!

Once the white lines begin to turn black, it means that the spiritual fruit will deteriorate and turn from a magical medicine into a poison. When it completely turns black, you must not touch it with your body.

Listen to Fu Jiusheng's instructions.

Luo Chen calmly transmitted the message, Thank you fellow Taoist for your guidance. I will keep this bit of common sense in mind.

After all, it is an elixir cultivated from the highly toxic saliva of the seven-ringed snow python.

In addition to extraordinary medicinal properties, it naturally also has extreme poisons.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound.

There was also the sound of rocks being crushed and falling off the wall.

Whisper, rustle, rustle...

Hearing this voice, the five people stopped immediately.

Each of them concentrated their breath to the extreme and leaned on both sides of the mountain wall.

Then he looked ahead with no breath.

After a while, I saw a snow python with three black rings crawling towards me.

As it crossed over, it paused, spit out a huge snake letter and sniffed it in the air, and finally crawled over in confusion.

After it left, the five of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Jiusheng looked at the long figure disappearing into the depths of darkness and said with emotion: The last time I saw this little python, it was still at the second level, but now it has cultivated to the third level. I am afraid that it is not far away from breaking through the second level. It’s far away.”

Monsters like the seven-ringed snow python are based on the understanding and records of immortal cultivators.

Each ring can correspond to a small realm of the human race.

According to what cultivators have seen and heard, the strongest monster they have ever encountered only has seven black rings, which is comparable to the third-level early stage monster, which is the early stage of the human race's golden elixir.

It is said that their upper limit is only seven rings.

This has something to do with blood.

Human cultivators talk about spiritual roots and qualifications, while monsters talk about bloodline.

The stronger the inherited bloodline, the higher the upper limit.

This seven-ringed snow python inherited a fourth-level demon king white-bone black snake, and it only had a little bit of collateral blood.

Therefore, it can only stop at the seventh ring level, which is the early stage of the third level.

This kind of monster has been protected by the white-bone black snake since it was born, so its fighting ability is not very strong.

However, you still need to pay attention to one or two things.

They are best at entangling and strangulating, poisonous erosion, and the instinct that most python-like monsters have, to identify scents.

So, if there is a fight later, the best way to fight is to control the distance and focus on long-range strikes. At the same time, it must be steady and fast, and the message must not be passed to the outside world.

Fu Jiusheng spoke again, telling everyone about some of the characteristics of the Seven-ring Snow Python Clan.

Although everyone listened attentively, some people eventually became impatient.

We have been traveling underground for most of the day. How long will it take to reach our destination?

The person asking the question was Mrs. Yousha.

Fu Jiusheng stopped and turned to look at her.

Madam Yousha was startled, then smiled reluctantly and said: Don't mind, it's just that I feel a little depressed after being delayed in such a dangerous place for a long time. Fellow Taoist, don't take it personally.

Fu Jiusheng shook his head.

He pointed at the wall behind him, his lips moving.

Already arrived!

Looking at the wall, everyone was stunned.

But the next moment, when their spiritual consciousness quietly penetrated the wall and felt the three surging breaths, they instantly became energetic.

Nine-striped snake saliva fruit is the most important thing to the Seven-ringed Snow Python King.

It is said that this thing has the miraculous effect of helping the python monster break through the realm!

Therefore, this place is a forbidden area for the Snow Python Clan, and it is guarded by three large late-level second-order monsters all year round.

Although this place is deep in the Ten Thousand Python Cave, it is also far away from where ordinary people live.

That's why I have the confidence that as long as I kill those three monsters, I can provide fellow Taoist Dan Chenzi with a certain amount of time and space to refine elixirs.

And what we have to do next is how to kill the three second-order monsters quietly without alerting the outside world.

This last sentence made several people feel a little embarrassed.

They are all outstanding practitioners.

Even when faced with a large number of powerful people of the same level, he is confident that he is not weaker than others.

Let them kill the second-level monsters, and they won't find it too difficult.

But if it comes to being silent and not alerting anyone...

The previous killing of the mountain dragon caused quite a stir!

Looking at the people in trouble, Fu Jiusheng seemed not surprised.

Turning his hands over, a compass with dozens of formation flags appeared in his left hand, and he held it out of thin air. On his right hand, there was a pale white talisman seal.

What is this? Luo Chen looked at those two things curiously.

This is Kobelco's solid earth formation. It is mostly used by small sects to consolidate the foundation when building mountain gates. This talisman is a third-level sound insulation. Once activated, no sounds below the third level will be transmitted. Out of the range of this talisman.

Fu Jiusheng explained briefly, and then began to distribute tasks.

Later, I will first activate the third-order sound insulation to ensure that the sound will not be transmitted outside. Then I will set up a formation to make sure that the cave terrain where the nine-striped snake saliva fruit grows is not destroyed, so as not to accidentally damage the spiritual fruit.

When I take action, you three, Fellow Daoist Lien Yun, Fellow Daoist Xiao, and Madam Yousha, must also take action at the same time. Each of you will choose a snow python and kill it with lightning speed!

Dan Chenzi, don't be idle. Protect the nine-striped snake saliva fruit yourself to prevent monsters and beasts from jumping over the wall and destroying the elixir.

Everyone, do you have any objections?

The four of them looked at him respectively, and then nodded at the same time.

At this juncture, there is no room for procrastination.

Prepare!

Fu Jiusheng gave an order to activate the spiritual power in front of the four people.

The wall in front of him melted quietly, like snow melting, without any sound.

At this moment, the cave scene covered by the wall appeared in front of everyone.

Three giant pythons coiled into a black and white hill in the shape of a letter, surrounding a small tree about two feet high in the middle.

When the wall melted, the three giant pythons opened their eyes almost at the same time.

As if they were awakened from hibernation, they all turned upwards to look at the five figures.

His vertical eyes, which were as big as fists, were full of anger.

hiss……

hiss……

hiss……

Three neighing sounds came out at the same time, as if they were about to notify the outside world.

However!

This sound was completely blocked by the misty white light inspired by the pale white talisman above the cave.

Not only that.

Formation flags flew in all directions and quickly penetrated into the ground.

Fu Jiusheng held a compass and sat cross-legged in the sky.

Rays of dark yellow light, centered on him, spread towards the entire cave.

If you don't take action yet, wait until when!

A low drink came from his mouth.

Four figures immediately jumped into the cave.

One of them went straight to the center. Before he landed, a ball of green spiritual light came out of his mouth.

Then it turned into a big bowl, turned upside down, and enveloped the small tree.

Not only that.

He made a secret with both hands, and layers of blue light curtains, like glass, isolated a ten-foot radius in the middle of the cave.

This is exactly what Luo Chen did.

Seeing his actions, the three giant pythons immediately became angry.

The body that was as entrenched as a hill suddenly collapsed and turned into a huge python body.

Each snow-white python has six thick, dark rings on its body.

Six-ringed snow python!

As Fu Jiusheng said, these are indeed three late second-order great demons.

And the aura of each statue is not weaker than that of the great monks of the ninth level of the human race, and even the surging aura is even worse.

It's a pity that you are facing immortal cultivators!

It’s better to be a cultivator who has the intention to kill in advance and is prepared!

Luo Chen looked around in all directions with cold eyes.

Those three figures rushing towards him without any hesitation could not shake his mind at all.

With his strength, he can handle these three monsters by himself.

What's more, there are others.

The next moment, there was a sound of shouting.

You evil beast, die!

It was still the long scarlet silk ribbon, but this time, it did not stretch for hundreds of feet, but only became about the same size as a giant python.

The area has shrunk, but the power has become more concentrated.

Snapped!

With one thrust in the air, the giant python that was charging towards Luo Chen was sent flying several feet away and directly hit the cave wall.

boom!

The rumbling sound came, but it was only confined to the cave and could not be transmitted outside.

Madam Yousha pinched the spirit secret with both hands.

On the amber scarlet silk, bursts of blood rain suddenly fell.

The stench of the blood rain was even worse than the smell of the snow python.

When the blood rain fell to the ground, it turned into a blood dragon in the blink of an eye.

Roar!

While roaring, the blood dragon bit at the snow python.

Not only that, the real amber scarlet silk also flew away, looking for an opportunity to tie up the snow python.

For a time, the snow python not only had to wrestle with the blood dragon, but also faced the terrifying corrosive power of the evil spirit on the amber scarlet silk.

Luo Chen frowned.

Is this the killer move of this magic weapon?

The water-absorbing dragon-transforming technique prepared in advance can summon an aura dragon with similar strength to the monk's body.

But this woman's method of sacrifice was obviously evil.

Instead of using formal spiritual power and mind to refining it, we use external force to refining it with the flesh and blood of living beings.

Only in this way can we reach a level of sacrifice that is difficult to achieve for this kind of foundation-building true cultivation.

Almost 90%!

He had only seen this ultra-high level of sacrificial refining once on Tao Wan's Liuyun Feixiu from Qingdan Valley.

The defeat of this python is already expected. It only takes dozens of breaths for Madam Yousha to kill it.

Soon, Luo Chen judged the tendency of the balance of victory and defeat.

However, it wasn't just her side that Luo Chen paid attention to.

After the completion of The Ming Shen Breaks the Evil, he can easily perform three functions at once.

Therefore, his spiritual consciousness was also paying attention to two other battlefields at the same time.

Huh!

A cry of surprise revealed Luo Chen's inner unrest.

Because at the place where Helian Yun fought, Luo Chen subconsciously became wary of the methods used by the opponent.

Soul-breaking nail!

But it’s not just the initial soul-breaking nail!

At this moment, what appeared in his hand were three!

Three black nails suddenly flew out.

In the flash of black light, one of them broke through the armor and sank into the body of the snow python.

One of them was broken, and the huge demonic energy accumulated in the snow python was as if its tail was tied, and it couldn't be moved at all.

And the last black nail pierced the snow python directly between its eyebrows.

puff!

There was a soft sound, and the snow python neighed sadly, and then fell limply to the ground.

And within its body, black lights rise and fall one after another.

Within a few breaths, the black nails that had penetrated the body suddenly flew out from the tail.

He Lianyun stretched out his hand.

Three black nails fell into his hands again.

That snow python is already dead.

Sensing Luo Chen's gaze, he smiled slightly.

The subtle tricks made fellow Taoists laugh.

Instant kill!

This is the real instant kill!

Compared to Madam Yousha's fight, He Lianyun's set of combos was enough to kill a monster of the same level as them.

This is no small trick.

Luo Chen nodded solemnly, assessing how to guard against his black nails if he and He Lianyun were to fight.

Armor-breaking nails, air-breaking nails, soul-breaking nails.

No wonder this man was able to survive the Jilei Mountain battlefield unscathed.

There is such a method!

From what he saw, although this set of black nail magic weapons were of low quality, their potential was probably more than that.

Luo Chen temporarily suppressed his fear of the great elder of the Lianyun Merchant Alliance and looked at the Xiao Sanren battlefield.

In fact, you don’t even have to look at it.

Since the battle began, the strange sound of the flute has been heard one after another.

Being outside the battle situation, the others could not feel the true power of the flute sound.

But Xiao Sanren's enemy, the six-ringed snow python, had already stood still.

As the sound of the flute became more urgent.

Suddenly!

The six-ring snow python is moving!

However, instead of attacking Xiao Sanren, he raised the snake's head high.

Xiao Sanren moved, lightly tapped the snake's head with his toes, and looked down at the crowd.

The six-ringed snow python at his feet had dull eyes and no energy.

Seeing this scene, He Lianyun, who was still a little complacent at first, couldn't help but change his expression.

Fellow Taoist, you...

Xiao Sanren smiled slightly, Although such a monster has great intelligence, it is no more than a three-year-old child in front of monks like us. It is just a little bit of enchantment, and it cannot be used in a refined hall.

On the contrary, if it hasn't opened its spiritual intelligence and acts purely on instinct, maybe I really can't do anything to it.

Faced with this self-effacing statement.

Although it was reasonable and well-founded, He Lianyun and others did not dare to take it seriously at all.

Luo Chen even frowned. His current situation was somewhat similar to that of these monsters.

They all have powerful bodies, but their souls are relatively weak.

While they were talking.

Mrs. Yousha over there finally killed her opponent. Under the sweat, half of the snow python corpse remained.

It seems that the method of Amber Zhu Ling to devour flesh and blood has a limit to the amount of flesh and blood it can devour!

Luo Chen looked around, his eyes swept over the four people one by one, and he finally felt enlightened.

No wonder these people dared to team up with him because of his reputation.

It's one thing to believe in his reputation as a gentleman.

It's one thing that each of them is quite confident in their own methods.

Whether it's the three soul-breaking nails, the soul-stealing flute sound, or Madam Yousha's evil spirit long silk magic weapon, they all seem to be extremely restrained against his powerful body.

And that Fu Jiusheng, from beginning to end, was doing things based on the realm of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen.

The other means are not revealed much.

Come to think of it, I have some trump cards in hand.

After quickly assessing the strength of several people, Luo Chen watched as the four people gathered around them.

Their eyes all fell on the blue light curtain under Luo Chen.

Luo Chen's heart moved, and he waved away the glazed light curtain and the aura light shield.

The small tree, which was only two feet tall, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The small tree is not tall, and its branches and leaves are not lush.

But the fruit hanging on the branch is really eye-catching.

One, two, three...nine!

Nine-patterned Snake Saliva Fruit!

Haha, the time is almost exactly as I expected. It really looks like it has just matured.

It was extremely rare that Fu Jiusheng showed a look of ecstasy.

The other three people couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Then, the four people's eyes fell on Luo Chen.

Next, we have to rely on fellow Taoist Dan Chenzi.

Are you sure?

In order to protect you, we must refine the Ming Yuan Pill!

“I don’t know if there is anything else you need, but please let me know in advance!”

Facing the eager gazes of the four people, Luo Chen pursed his lips and made a move.

Boom!

A pot-like utensil suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

He pinched his fingers and injected spiritual power.

The minister's cauldron suddenly expanded, reaching a height of ten feet in the blink of an eye.

When everyone saw this, their eyes couldn't help but show surprise.

Magic weapon level elixir cauldron!

It seems that Luo Chen is well prepared for this alchemy!

Ignoring their surprise, Luo Chen moved his hands again.

A small compass as big as a palm appeared in his palm.

In front of several people, five middle-grade spiritual stones were inlaid.

Seeing this scene, several people's expressions couldn't help but change.

It's not that Luo can't trust everyone, but when an alchemist is working, he is most afraid of others watching and disturbing him.

My formation disk only has a second-level warning formation engraved on it.

I hope you won't disturb me while I'm refining the pill.

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

The four of them stared at him, speechless for a while.

After a long time, Fu Jiusheng shook his head and said, Fellow Daoist Dan Chenzi, please concentrate on refining the elixir. I will set up the Five Elements Tracing Formation to avoid being discovered by other monsters in the Ten Thousand Python Cave.

He left so openly.

But the other three were still hesitant.

Madam Yousha couldn't help but ask: What if after the pill is completed, there are too many Ming Yuan Pills and you keep them secretly?

Luo Chen asked, Can't you trust me?

Yousha's tone paused.

Luo Chen sneered: We have come to this point, and my fellow Taoist is still so suspicious. I'm afraid it's not appropriate! If I deliberately deceive and add something else to the Ming Yuan Pill, then when you form the pill, won't you? Are you going to fall short?

Madam Yousha's face instantly turned livid.

Xiao Sanren shook his head, It seems that you have to believe it even if you don't believe it. Dan Chenzi, just concentrate on refining the elixir. I will drive the six-ringed snow python that is still alive to go out and check the situation.

Helian Yun didn't say much.

For this operation, he put in the most effort. Whether it was serving as a middleman to connect all parties or preparing various auxiliary materials in advance, it was definitely a huge hemorrhage.

Everything is just for a Mingyuan Pill!

Whether Luo Chen kept it secretly or not had little to do with him.

He only wants one!

I saw that several people had left to watch out for monsters.

Madam Yousha's face turned green and red, and finally she could only stamp her feet under Luo Chen's sarcastic smile.

I'm sorry, it's my fault!

After saying that, she also distanced herself from Luo Chen.

Luo Chen chuckled and threw the array disk in his hand on the ground.

The warning formation that Min Longyu specially made for him suddenly expanded, and layers of fog enveloped him.

At this moment.

Luo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the snake saliva fruit with nine stripes in a daze.

Everything is ready, third-level elixir, here I come!

Opening his mouth and spitting out, a green light fell under the minister's cauldron, and then with a sudden shudder, the green light turned into a raging flame.

It's the withering fire!

It has been refined by him and became the original true fire.

In this way, the size of the fire can be easily controlled by injecting a small amount of spiritual power.

There is no need to use the foundation-building true fire to refine the elixir, so that his strength can be preserved to the maximum extent.

Afterwards, the processed medicinal materials flew out from Luo Chen's storage bag and fell into the minister's cauldron.

Regarding the refining of the Mingyuan Pill, Luo Chen had already started trying to practice it nine years ago.

In the fourth year, when he felt that all the accumulation was enough, he used the system to get started.

For this purpose, Luo Chen spent a total of forty achievement points.

Such a huge consumption of achievement points is second only to the original completion of Tianpeng Transformation and the derivation of The Convergence of Ten Thousand Daos.

That time, it took forty-five achievement points.

The reason why there will be much less this time is that the recipe of Mingyuan Dan is complete, and Luo Chen has a deeper accumulation in alchemy than body refining.

Even so, it is still a huge consumption.

I hope you won't disappoint me!

Luo Chen murmured, and with a thought in his mind, he frequently pinched the spiritual arts in his hands, and wisps of extremely pure wood spirit power poured out from his fingertips.

Then, lines of spiritual light were outlined around the small tree.

Dzogchen proficiency level Su Xin Shou!

With this elixir technique, you can pick the nine-striped snake saliva fruit without any time, and prevent it from falling off branches and becoming dirty.

After the fruit was picked, it slowly fell into the minister's cauldron under the care of Su Xin's hand.

A white line suddenly squirmed.

One-ninth of the medicinal liquid turned into a small snake and jumped into the other medicinal liquids that had been refined.

The two slowly merged, and the prototype of the Mingyuan Pill seemed to be about to appear.

But Luo Chen knew that this was just the beginning!

Time passes little by little.

Inside the Lingguo Cave, the four people waiting quietly went from waiting quietly at the beginning to restless anticipation later on.

That kind of anxious atmosphere has spread without knowing when.

Three days!

Haven't you succeeded yet?

Wait a little longer! It's still a third-level elixir after all. It can't be achieved overnight.

But this is too long!

The remnant soul of the snow python I controlled could no longer hold on and completely fell. Before it fell, I saw the situation outside. Many snow pythons were wandering around and restless, as if something big was going to happen outside.

It's strange to say that the route I took before has been confirmed several times and is indeed very safe. But this time when I entered the Snowy Mountains, I encountered monsters that intercepted me one after another. Those monsters didn't move with a purpose at first glance. , It’s more like running away from the Snowy Mountains like someone is fleeing.”

I'm afraid there are changes happening deep in the Snowy Mountains that we don't know about.

If there really is a change, then the seven-ringed snow python that occupies the Ten Thousand Python Cave will definitely not give up on the mature nine-striped snake saliva fruit. If Luo Chen still doesn't succeed, something will happen to him!

Be patient and wait a little longer!

Yes, I have been practicing immortality for two hundred and thirty years, so what if I wait a few more days.

Soft conversations occurred between the four of them from time to time.

They spoke very softly, for fear of disturbing Luo Chen in the formation.

But the anxiety on their respective faces, no matter how powerful they were, could not be concealed at all.

After all, this is about the opportunity to form the elixir!

It was in such anxious anticipation.

The fifth day finally arrived.

At the same time, a strange fragrance of elixir suddenly rose from the center of the cave.

The four people's hearts moved slightly, and they all looked at each other.

The vast clouds and mist dispersed, and a man appeared in front of everyone with four dark pills in his hand.

Those four pills attracted everyone's attention immediately.

The medicine's power is so restrained that no one can tell whether it has the effect of breaking through the golden elixir stage.

But the vision of flashing blue electric light from time to time made the four of them blurt out.

The blue thunder floats, the underworld brings vitality!

Luo Chen smiled casually, As expected, the elixir is finished!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my state has been extremely bad recently, and I can only write four to five thousand words a day.

I wrote a chapter of 6,600 today, and it feels like I am dying.

I don’t know why, and I can’t shamelessly ask for votes.

I can only say that if the update is not done well, there are those who keep the book. I hope you will not forget that the book will continue to be updated in the future.
