Long Life Starts from Alchemy Master Main Text Chapter 321 People sometimes should be brave. "Strange?"

"It's been two months, why hasn't Tao Yisheng come out of seclusion yet?"

Standing behind the cave dwelling, Luo Chen looked towards the direction of Tao Yisheng's cave dwelling, feeling puzzled in his heart.

But no matter how puzzled he was, he didn't intend to seek the other party personally.

Since he had made up his mind to play hard to get, he had to keep it up to the end.

Otherwise, in subsequent negotiations, he would very likely be in a passive position.

Not being in a hurry right now, on the contrary, gives him a chance to occupy the initiative.

And the confidence that makes Luo Chen not in a hurry.

Comes precisely from the doubled cultivation speed after clearing all meridians!

He roughly estimated that he had a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection before his lifespan ran out.

He is only forty or fifty years old now.

Placed in a large sect, that also caught up with the cultivation speed of peer geniuses.

There are still more than two hundred years of time ahead, and he is confident that even without Qingdan Valley's high-grade elixirs, he can find another way to improve his cultivation speed again.

Since that's the case, why be in a hurry?

Besides, his ordinary days also have many things to do.

Not to mention anything else, just the two second-grade elixirs, Blood Fiend Pill and Jade Yu Yu Ludan, he still has room for improvement.

"Now the proficiency of both Blood Fiend Pill and Jade Yu Yu Ludan has reached the master level."

"Brush these two full first, and you can free up more time!"

Luo Chen chose to brush the Blood Fiend Pill full first.

Nothing else!

There aren't many raw materials left for this thing.

If refined with full effort, it would only take half a month.

Although he and Wang Yuan have already cleared all meridians and don't need to use the Blood Fiend Pill to clear meridians.

But this elixir is of great benefit to Wang Yuan's body refining, and Luo Chen himself can also gain an achievement point, so there is no reason to waste the raw materials.

In the following time.

Luo Chen adjusted his time and used his energy to refine the Blood Fiend Pill.

Half a month later.

Luo Chen looked at the empty gloomy wood and shook his head regretfully.

The Yellow Spring Yin Fiend was completely consumed.

It just managed to push his Blood Fiend Pill proficiency to the Great Perfection level.

For this, Luo Chen harvested five achievement points from beginning to end, cleared all meridians, and had more than two thousand Blood Fiend Pills on hand.

Among them, high-grade ones were the majority, but there were also many low-grade and middle-grade ones.

There were even dozens of top-grade Blood Fiend Pills!

Luo Chen planned to keep only a few of these elixirs for backup, and give the rest to Wang Yuan.

After all, the raw materials for refining the Blood Fiend Pill were all collected by Wang Yuan with painstaking effort over the years.

Almost all his savings had been spent.

Recently, he has been living on the salary received from Luo Tianhui.

It can be considered the most cramped one among the several Foundation Establishment true cultivators of Luo Tianhui.

However, thinking that with this batch of high-quality Blood Fiend Pills refined by Luo Chen, he wouldn't need to worry about external things for a long time.

"If I also had an elixir formula suitable for my own cultivation, that would be great."

While happy, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel regretful.

If he had a second-grade elixir formula suitable for himself, why would he need to show his face and painstakingly befriend the Tao family siblings?

He could have honestly developed Luo Tianhui, earned resources, and bought raw materials for his own elixir refining.

Suddenly.

A thought emerged in Luo Chen's mind.

"The Ice Fortress side won't work, perhaps I can try to seek a cultivation elixir formula from the Tao family?"

"Tao family ancestor, a generation of alchemy grandmaster Nanshan Shangren..."

Muttering to himself, he cleaned up the elixir room.

Then, he went directly out of Tianlan Peak.

He hadn't been to Luo Tianhui for a long time; occasionally he had to show his face to demonstrate a bit of presence.

Outside the Transmission Hall.

On the white jade square, there were few figures, only a young man was hitting a set of boxing techniques move by move under the scorching sun.

Luo Chen removed the cloud-riding technique and descended.

"Xiaolong!"

The young man saw Luo Chen, and his eyes lit up, "Uncle Luo!"

He wanted to run over, but a small stone flew out of thin air and hit his back.

The intense pain made him feel like he had been hit hard.

"Finish this set of Ming Shen Five Qi Boxing first!"

A cold voice came from the hall.

Ceng Yilong's eyes welled up with tears, and he looked at Luo Chen aggrievedly.

"Listen to your master!"

Luo Chen shook his head and smiled, walking towards the hall.

When passing by the young man, he rubbed his little head.

"Come find Uncle to play later, I have a gift for you."

Ceng Yilong's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

Then he began to hit the boxing technique move by move.

Although it looked a bit stiff, his little arms and legs were trying to stretch as much as possible, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy wandering around seemed to be surging towards his body in wisps.

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

This set of boxing techniques seems to combine body refining and Qi refining?

It's just that the speed of absorbing spiritual energy looks a bit slow.

Could it be a cultivation method newly researched by Wang Yuan?

Entered the hall.

Wang Yuan looked up at him, "You're here."

"Yes, I'm here."

Luo Chen responded, pointing to Ceng Yilong who was boxing outside and asked: "What boxing technique is that?"

"Didn't you just hear it, Ming Shen Five Qi Boxing."

Luo Chen was helpless, "You know that's not what I meant."

Wang Yuan put down the book in his hand, "Although I cannot create second-grade cultivation methods on my own yet, the accumulation over these years is enough for me to combine a set of first-grade cultivation methods."

"Combines body refining and Qi refining?" Luo Chen asked the doubt in his heart.

"Yes!"

Wang Yuan nodded, a rare look of self-satisfaction appearing on his face.

"This set of 'Ming Shen Five Qi Boxing' combines Ming Shen Po Sha, Qi and Body Same Origin, Five Viscera Nourishing Boxing, and many other cultivation methods into one."

"It can both exercise the physical body and absorb spiritual energy in places where spiritual energy is abundant."

"In this way, it is dual cultivation of law and body, which can cast an extremely solid foundation at a low realm!"

Luo Chen looked into the distance at the sweating young man boxing.

A thoughtful look appeared on his face.

This set of boxing techniques obviously combined several advantages of the cultivation methods Wang Yuan mentioned, while discarding restrictions such as evil energy and spiritual sense.

In the initial stage of laying the foundation, it was indeed very effective.

It's just that...

"Seems the cultivation speed is a bit slow?"

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Indeed, this is also the biggest flaw of this cultivation method at present. However, Xiaolong, this child, has dual spiritual root aptitude himself; slightly slowing down the cultivation speed in exchange for a solid foundation is absolutely beneficial and harmless."

"Can it be promoted to other low-grade cultivators in Luo Tianhui?" Luo Chen asked the question he most wanted to ask.

Facing this question, Wang Yuan frowned.

He pondered for a moment and said somewhat uncertainly: "Perhaps it can, but it might need a simplified version."

"Hmm? Why is that?"

"The current 'Ming Shen Five Qi Boxing', under the premise of dual cultivation, requires excellent aptitude and abundant external auxiliary resources. Ordinary people simply don't have these conditions."

Luo Chen understood.

Ceng Yilong's conditions are naturally not bad.

His father Zeng Wen died, leaving him powerful connections.

His mother, Xiu Gu, also holds an important position in Luo Tianhui.

Plus Wang Yuan as his master, his initial cultivation resources are certainly not lacking.

But if it were someone else, it naturally wouldn't work.

Not to mention, there is the innate condition of aptitude.

"I'll research it later and see if I can come up with a simplified version!"

Wang Yuan said indifferently.

Researching cultivation methods has always been what he likes to do most, otherwise he wouldn't have gladly accepted the position of Hall Master of the Transmission Hall.

He looked at Luo Chen and asked curiously:

"Usually when you come to Danxia Peak, you look for President Sima first; why did you come to me today?"

"Brought you something."

Luo Chen stared at Ceng Yilong outside, but casually handed a storage bag to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan subconsciously released his spiritual sense and probed into it.

Then he was dumbfounded.

Blood Fiend Pill!

Dense Blood Fiend Pills!

He took out a few, and was even more shocked.

"High-grade Blood Fiend Pill!"

"There are even top-grade ones!"

He swallowed his saliva and said subconsciously: "These, are all refined by you?"

"Besides me, could there be anyone else?" Luo Chen asked back.

Wang Yuan shook his head violently.

"No!"

"Although I don't know much about alchemy, you've only been refining Blood Fiend Pills for a few years; how could you refine so many high-grade and top-grade ones?"

"This is too terrifying!"

Luo Chen naturally knew how shocking it would be for him to refine one type of elixir with full effort.

However, some things are not good to say too clearly.

He smiled slightly, "The alchemy time is short, but I have studied this elixir formula for a long time! You have collected all the materials, so it was naturally extremely easy for me to get started."

He said it very lightly.

But Wang Yuan was still incredulous.

Easily refining high-grade, or even top-grade elixirs.

Such an existence is already a famous alchemy grandmaster-level existence in the cultivation world, right!

This is not some simple first-grade elixir.

But a second-grade elixir!

Looking at Luo Chen, who was light and airy and overly humble.

He suddenly realized that the other party might want to hide something.

Since that's the case, he wouldn't ask more.

Instead, he sighed: "With these high-quality Blood Fiend Pills, my cultivation in the Blood River Realm will likely advance by leaps and bounds!"

"Then congratulations!" Luo Chen laughed.

Wang Yuan shook his head, holding the storage bag that was extremely light but extremely heavy.

"You helped me so much, I really don't know how to..."

"Stop!"

Luo Chen stretched out his Tathagata palm to stop his subsequent words.

"Between us brothers, talking about this is meaningless."

Wang Yuan laughed suddenly, "It was me being pretentious."

Luo Chen nodded.

Since the things were handed over, there was no reason to stay any longer.

Luo Chen asked Wang Yuan for a copy of "Ming Shen Five Qi Boxing" and left the Transmission Hall.

By the time he arrived at Huixin Hall, a meeting was being held inside.

The number of attendees was small, mainly Sima Hui Niang, Gu Caiyi, and Qin Liangchen.

Luo Chen stood outside, using his powerful spiritual sense to eavesdrop on the meeting content inside.

It was probably about how to expand the business, and how to arrange the manpower of the Golden Hall and the Xiaoguang Hall.

It also mentioned the plan of Luo Tianhui to open shops in Tianyi Square and Luosha Square.

The details were a bit tedious.

But under the careful discussion of the three people in the hall, it sounded like there was a joy of harvest.

Time passed slowly.

The meeting in the hall was about to end.

"Hall Master Qin, arrange for your breakthrough to Foundation Establishment next month, remember to hand over the affairs of Xiaoguang Hall well."

Sima Hui Niang's voice came out.

Qin Liangchen was a bit expectant and a bit uneasy, but his face remained steady.

"Rest assured, I will never delay the affairs of the society!"

Then, it was the sound of footsteps of the two people walking out after the meeting.

Just as he walked outside the hall, Qin Liangchen was surprised to find Luo Chen leaning against the outside of the hall, bored.

Looking like he had been here for a long time.

"President, when did you come?"

"When you were talking about the first batch of amber silk business." Luo Chen smiled.

Qin Liangchen said "Oh", that was indeed a bit long.

"By the way, this is for you. High-grade Still Yang Water, remember to use this when breaking through to Foundation Establishment; the life-saving ability is several times better than the low-grade one!"

Luo Chen took out a bottle and handed it to the stunned Qin Liangchen.

Patting Qin Liangchen's arm, Luo Chen said: "Don't have too much burden when breaking through because of the hall's affairs; at least your life can be saved."

Having his heart's worry, which had been pressing on his heart for this period, spoken out, Qin Liangchen couldn't help but feel ashamed.

But holding that jade bottle, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be said that Luo Chen's gift really hit his heart.

He said moved: "Thank you!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and generously accepted this gratitude.

Then, he cast his gaze on Gu Caiyi, who was standing on the side and hadn't spoken all along.

She had been staring at Luo Chen just now.

Now that Luo Chen looked over, she subconsciously shifted her gaze to other directions.

But just as she shifted away, a sense of sourness inexplicably arose in her heart.

Why do I want to escape!

She forcibly straightened her face and met Luo Chen's scrutinizing gaze.

In her ears came Luo Chen's words of praise.

"Not bad, the spiritual power fluctuation is much thicker than before; in another year or two, you will be at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and Foundation Establishment is promising!"

Still the same old talk.

Gu Caiyi bit her red lips and said something that surprised Qin Liangchen on the side, "Do you have nothing else to say to me?"

Luo Chen was stunned, then suddenly realized.

Under Gu Caiyi's expectation, he also took out a jade bottle and stuffed it into her palm.

"Still the same as before, one pill a month, use the method I gave you, be careful to absorb the medicinal power."

After speaking, he nodded to the two and entered Huixin Hall.

The light difference between inside and outside drowned his back.

It seemed to also drown Gu Caiyi's heart.

She squeezed the medicine bottle containing the high-grade Jade Yu Yu Ludan tightly, her face pale.

Qin Liangchen is a rough man, but not a stupid person.

Especially since he was an outsider, he saw it more clearly than anyone else.

Seeing the woman's expression, he knew what the other party was probably thinking.

He shook his head and said as if unintentionally while walking:

"People, sometimes should be brave."

"When I break through to Foundation Establishment, I cannot be hesitant or timid; only then will I not fail the intentions of my brother Luo Chen."

Gu Caiyi was startled, looked up, and Qin Liangchen had already walked far away.

She looked back at the immovable Huixin Hall, and finally her gaze fell on the jade bottle in her hand.

"Am I too cowardly?"

"Clearly I was the first, whether it was knowing each other or being in the same courtyard, why was I beaten to the punch?"

"The old me wasn't like this."

"When did I become inferior in front of him?"

Thoughts surged like a tide.

The steps taken were so heavy.

Inside Huixin Hall.

Sima Hui Niang looked at Luo Chen with a smile that was not a smile.

"Gave Jade Yu Yu Ludan?"

Luo Chen squeezed to her seat carelessly, pushing her large and round buttocks to the side.

"Why, jealous?"

"Hehe, when would I have the time, and how would I dare to be jealous of you, President?"

Luo Chen curled his lips, "It was the Jade Yu Yu Ludan I gave, but only low-grade. Caiyi's realm is insufficient now, she can't digest high-grade ones. Even for low-grade Jade Dew Pills, she has to spend a long time to digest one."

Sima Hui Niang was helpless.

She knew very well the relationship between Luo Chen and Gu Caiyi.

When she was still the president of Luo Tianhui in Xieyue Valley, she often saw Gu Caiyi peeling melon seeds for Luo Chen while exchanging cultivation insights.

Such an intimate scene had long declared that the relationship between the two was not shallow.

"Actually, there's no need to explain to me, I don't care about these."

"Then what do you care about?" Luo Chen turned her face and stared at her: "Your eldest brother failed to break through to Foundation Establishment and is in critical condition; why didn't you tell me?"

Sima Hui Niang's face instantly dimmed.

Looking at Luo Chen's concerned expression, she muttered: "People have their own fate, what you have given is already enough, how can I trouble you with this little thing."

Luo Chen hummed.

"I know you have been avoiding suspicion, but he, Sima Xian, is not only your eldest brother, but also the Hall Master of my Luo Tianhui Battle Hall."

"Let's go!"

"Take me to see him."
