Chapter 324: Five Peaks Covering the Valley, Azure Sky Glaze

Longevity Starts from Being an Alchemy Grandmaster, Main Text Volume, Chapter 329: Five Peaks Covering the Valley, Azure Sky Glaze. The second day.

On Little South Mountain, hundreds of cultivators gathered together.

Having rested all night, Tao Yisheng, wearing a brand-new Dao robe, appeared before everyone, radiant.

Surrounded by the crowd, he sat on the Patriarch's throne.

A grand banquet was held.

And at this banquet, Tao Yisheng also announced to everyone present.

"From now on, Master Danchenzi is a consultant for our Tao family!"

"Everyone should treat him with courtesy!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Luo Chen calmly accepted a specially made token.

On the back was engraved the nine-cloud pattern logo of the Green Pill Valley, and on the front was a small golden chrysanthemum.

The meaning was self-evident.

Green Pill Valley, Tao family!

From now on, Luo Chen was a consultant for the Tao family.

Luo Chen was not surprised by this turn of events.

It was not just about having the qualification to contribute to Tao Wan during the Dao Seed struggle.

It was also because if the other party really became a Jin Dan Dao Seed of the Green Pill Valley, then when selling high-grade pills to Luo Chen, they would also need a nominal identity.

High-grade pills of the Green Pill Valley are usually not leaked out.

Either consumed internally.

Or exchanged with other great sects for precious resources.

From the perspective of cultivation, low-grade pills are daily necessities, but high-grade pills can already be called strategic resources.

Luo Chen is now a consultant for the Tao family, so he counts as one of their own in name.

In this way, it doesn't count as pill leakage.

Tao Wan also doesn't need to worry about being punished by sect rules.

Of course!

Luo Chen shouldn't even dream about the treatment of a family consultant.

No spirit stones, no cultivation methods, and nothing else.

Similarly.

If the Tao family encounters trouble in the future, Luo Chen can also choose not to take action.

Getting along with each other is very flexible.

Luo Chen did not participate much in this grand meeting of the Patriarch's ascension.

After receiving the consultant token.

He hurried back to the Mohe small courtyard.

Closing the gate, five items were placed before him.

Three jade bottles, a piece of paper, and a book.

These items were the rewards Tao Wan specially gave him today.

The reward for asking him to take action!

In the three jade bottles were the Green Elixir Valley's specialty third-tier elixir, the Dragon Ascension Elixir; the Ice Fortress's specialty third-tier elixir, the Ice Phoenix Pill; and the second-tier Colorful Chrysanthemum Elixir that Tao Yisheng had only refined yesterday.

The first two were things Tao Wan had promised to give him last year.

Used in conjunction with the Core Formation secret technique, Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, gifted by Tantai Jin, it could increase the chance of Core Formation by ten percent.

In this way, regardless of his future life encounters.

Luo Chen finally had a glimmer of hope for Core Formation.

As for the Colorful Chrysanthemum Elixir, it was something Luo Chen had specifically requested from Tao Yisheng.

The other party did not refuse and gave it to him directly.

Being able to win upright and honorably in the alchemy competition for the family head, Luo Chen deserved the primary credit!

Tao Yisheng was not someone who did not understand right from wrong.

Otherwise, he would not have specifically introduced him grandly to all the Tao family cultivators on this grand day of his ascension to the position of family head.

This had already far exceeded the sentiment of a friend or consultant.

Su Yinyin, there was a feeling of treating him as a mentor.

The reason Luo Chen wanted these three Colorful Chrysanthemum Elixirs was also to match that piece of paper.

On the paper, the specific elixir formula for the Colorful Chrysanthemum Elixir was recorded.

This was also a type of cultivation elixir formula researched by the Tao family ancestor, Nanshan Ren, back in the day.

It had not been handed over to the Green Elixir Valley, so it was not under the sect's jurisdiction.

As for that book.

It was the Core Formation insights left behind by Nanshan Ren.

Well, it was a copy!

Looking at the five things in front of him, Luo Chen could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Tao Wan did not trust his alchemy skills, and he was also anxious that the other party would not give the reward.

In the end, all he could do was contribute some effort in the second round of the alchemy competition.

Whether or not she could seize the position of Dao Seed, in the end, it still depended on Tao Wan's own ability.

What if she failed?

High-grade elixirs would naturally have no possibility of being stocked.

But if the other party became angry from embarrassment and did not give him these things in front of him, Luo Chen would have nowhere to appeal his grievances.

Now that they were given in advance, it also put his mind at ease.

He put away the elixirs and also put away the Core Formation insights.

For the time being, there was no need for these things; he would study them when he had leisure time later.

Luo Chen's attention was placed on the Colorful Chrysanthemum Elixir formula.

Refining cultivation elixirs himself was indispensable!

Firstly, it was to prevent Tao Wan from failing, leaving him with nowhere to purchase high-grade elixirs.

Secondly, Luo Chen was taking precautions, considering another realistic thing.

That was drug resistance!

He had taken a large amount of Qi Nourishing Elixirs during the Qi Refining stage, eventually developing drug resistance.

Although after Foundation Establishment, the second-tier elixir formulas were more perfect, he could not withstand taking them too much and too frequently!

In order to avoid drug resistance.

For the past few years, he had been rotating between Dragon Ascension Elixirs and Qi Harmonizing Elixirs.

For this, he had also dragged down some of his cultivation speed.

What he feared was that a certain elixir would develop drug resistance ahead of time.

But that day would always come.

Therefore, Luo Chen had to make preparations in advance.

The way to break the situation lay in this Colorful Chrysanthemum Elixir.

"I want to see what level a second-tier cultivation elixir formula researched by a first-generation third-tier alchemist, Nanshan Ren, is!"

Looking at the thin piece of paper in front of him, Luo Chen could not wait to invest his mind and begin studying.

……

While Luo Chen was studying the elixir formula.

In the Green Elixir Valley, the situation had long been changing, and the situation was turbulent.

The struggle for the Dao Seed was close at hand.

More and more Foundation Establishment cultivators began to show their faces.

The number of escape lights entering and leaving the sect was also increasing.

Some cultivators who had previously participated in the war between the Luoyun Sect and the Yuding Sword Sect also returned one after another.

Even some outside cultivators like Luo Chen had come to the Green Elixir Valley in person at the invitation of true disciples.

Tao Wan took time out to find Luo Chen several times.

She proposed to take him to meet the people she had gathered, but he politely declined them all.

Sect disciples like these were always high and mighty, looking at people through their nostrils.

Even if they were polite on the surface, they still looked down on loose cultivators in their bones.

Young boys like Tao Yisheng who were just starting out were truly too few.

Tao Wan did not force him, only mentioning that she would take him to familiarize himself with the venue in two days.

The venue for the second round of the alchemy competition!

Two days later.

Two escape lights rose from Xiaonanshan.

They headed straight for Mount Yuanhua!

The strong wind rushed towards them, but when it reached Luo Chen, it strangely parted.

This peculiar scene made Tao Wan beside him unable to help but reveal a look of surprise.

"It is rumored that Fellow Daoist's magic techniques are incomparably exquisite; to think that even this small Wind-Riding Technique could be used so skillfully!"

Luo Chen smiled modestly.

Looking at the high mountain in front, he asked curiously: "Is the true disciple sword fighting taking place on this mountain?"

"No!"

Tao Wan shook her head. "It is inside the true Green Elixir Valley!"

"Oh?"

Luo Chen was a bit surprised; did the territory they were currently in not belong to the Green Elixir Valley?

Not long after, he understood what "Green Elixir Valley" meant!

Crossing Mount Yuanhua, a huge basin instantly came into view.

Looking at the vast landscape that was concave, he said in surprise: "It is actually like this?"

Tao Wan smiled slightly. "It is exactly like this!"

As far as the eye could see, five tall mountain peaks were neatly arranged in five directions.

And between the five mountains, there were patches of palace complexes, continuous and endless.

Pavilions, towers, ponds, and water pavilions were everywhere.

Countless escape lights were entering and exiting between the five peaks.

Vast and surging spiritual energy steamed and evaporated in this huge basin, unable to go outside.

It was as if it had been locked up!

"It is truly a great sect!"

"Such a vast terrain is actually called a valley!"

Luo Chen sighed with emotion.

He could feel that inside this valley, the concentration of spiritual energy generally reached the level of a second-tier spiritual land.

This area alone far exceeded those ordinary second-tier cave dwellings on Tianlan Shanfeng.

And on the five mountain peaks around, there was a spiritual energy concentration more than ten times higher, which made people yearn for it.

Each mountain peak was enough to rival Tianlan Shanfeng!

In other words, each mountain could be regarded as a separate third-tier spiritual land!

"Our sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators live in this valley all year round."

"And Mount Yuanhua, Dragon Head Shanfeng, Green Cloud Shanfeng, Danyang Shanfeng, and Mount Luojia, these five great mountains, contain third-tier spiritual lands. Therefore, only those who have formed a Core can live there."

"Of course, if one is accepted as a disciple by a Jin Dan True Person, one can occasionally enter the third-tier spiritual land to cultivate for a while."

Tao Wan briefly explained the layout of the Green Elixir Valley.

In her words, there was no lack of pride and self-esteem.

Luo Chen watched and clicked his tongue in wonder.

The spiritual land occupied by the Green Elixir Valley was not only vast in area, but the layout was also first-class.

Not to mention the scattered spiritual lands like Xiaonanshan outside.

These five spiritual mountains alone produced an unknown amount of resources every year.

And the elixir valley nourished by the five spiritual mountains would inevitably have more and more spiritual energy concentration.

Sure enough!

Tao Wan next mentioned the situation of the elixir valley.

"Four hundred years ago, during the opening war, our Green Elixir Valley predecessors conquered this place."

"Using secret methods to connect the trends of the mountains and earth veins, moving mountains and filling the sea, they forged the layout of five peaks covering the valley."

"Now that hundreds of years have passed, the elixir valley has reached the second-tier high-grade level. Given time, in a thousand years, this elixir valley will inevitably be able to achieve a fourth-tier spiritual land!"

"By then, if our Green Elixir Valley gives birth to a Nascent Soul True Person, there will be no need to look for another fourth-tier spiritual land to cultivate."

Listening to this vision.

Luo Chen was shocked; the predecessors of the Green Elixir Valley had great plans!

Using the means of moving mountains and filling the sea to forge the Feng Shui layout of five peaks covering the valley.

They even wanted to nourish this elixir valley into a fourth-tier spiritual land.

Suddenly.

He remembered the elixir nourishing technique in the "Green Origin Elixir Solution".

Could this "Elixir Valley" not be regarded as a "Great Elixir"?

Under the nourishment of five spiritual lands that were all third-tier, the grade continuously climbed, finally exceeding the limit of the five peaks themselves, reaching a fourth-tier spiritual land!

Thinking of this, Luo Chen's mind was shaken.

The alchemy of the Green Elixir Valley seemed to have long been not limited to ordinary elixirs.

This was refining a spiritual land as an elixir!

While he was daydreaming.

The two flew very fast and soon arrived at the hinterland of the elixir valley.

Landing on a flat ground, Luo Chen curiously raised his head to look at the nine high platforms separated by a great distance nearby.

Each high platform was shrouded in spiritual light, and their true appearance could not be seen.

"This is?"

Tao Wan looked at the nine high platforms with yearning. "This is the arena for the true disciple sword fighting. If you want to fight for the Dao Seed, you must first defend a high platform for nine days! In this way, you will have the status of a Great True Disciple."

Great True Disciple, or True Disciple.

It was just that this status would only appear during the struggle for the Dao Seed.

Once it ended, it would be taken back.

Of course, being able to become one of the nine Great True Disciples during the struggle for the Dao Seed was already showing one's talent.

Even if one failed later, one would still be noticed by the high-level sect members.

Correspondingly, there would also be some cultivation resources tilted towards them.

For so many years, the Jin Dan True Persons of the Green Elixir Valley were not all promoted from Dao Seeds.

Many of them obtained resources through the status of Great True Disciple, thereby forming a Core.

As she spoke.

Tao Wan cast a sound transmission talisman.

Not long after, a person flew over.

"Zhou Shijie Tao!"

"Chu Huai, connect the earth fire and take out the trial elixir tripod; the alchemist I invited needs to familiarize himself with the venue."

The person called Chu Huai looked at Luo Chen curiously.

Then he took out a small green tripod from his storage bag, and after injecting spiritual energy, it expanded to the height of a person in the blink of an eye.

Compared to Luo Chen's huge Ice Emperor Tripod, this tripod was extremely small.

But the aura it emitted made Luo Chen look sideways.

"High-grade magic tool? Or top-grade magic tool?"

"No!"

"Why is there a faint aura of a magic treasure?"

This fluctuating aura of magic tool grade made Luo Chen extremely curious.

Seeing this, Chu Huai explained to Luo Chen while drawing earth fire on this high platform:

"To let Fellow Daoist know, this tripod is the treasure of our Green Elixir Valley!"

Luo Chen was stunned; a treasure of the sect, kept by a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Even joking, it should not be like this!

Tao Wan shook her head and said: "This is indeed the treasure of the Green Elixir Valley, but it is only one of the sub-tripods of the Azure Sky Glazed Tripod."

Sub-tripod?

Luo Chen was still puzzled.

He knew that the Green Elixir Valley had a treasure of the sect, with a grade as high as top-grade!

It was a top-grade magic treasure not inferior to the Ghost God Valley's Demon Locking Tower, but he had never heard of a sub-tripod.

Moreover, if there was a sub-tripod, did that not mean there was a mother tripod?

Seeing this, Tao Wan explained in detail: "Our Green Elixir Valley has a top-grade magic treasure passed down for a thousand years, which was cast in a mother-son chain way. It is divided into the mother tripod, the Azure Sky Tripod, and thirty-six Glazed Sub-tripods."

"It is rumored that a Green Elixir Valley predecessor once used this magic treasure to refine a fourth-tier elixir with a Jin Dan mid-stage cultivation, shaking the world for a time!"

"For the sake of relative fairness in the second round of competition, when you compete, you will all use the same Glazed Sub-tripod and the same grade of earth fire. Even Senior Brother Danyangzi cannot use his source true fire and must follow the competition rules."

Luo Chen listened, dazzled and fascinated, and for a moment, he was actually a bit dazed.

A magic treasure could actually be divided into thirty-six sub-tripods?

No wonder he felt different grade auras on this Glazed Tripod.

Chu Huai also echoed from the side: "Zhou Shijie is right; this Azure Sky Glazed Tripod is a famous alchemy magic treasure even in the thirty-six domains of the Eastern Wasteland. It is second only to the Yaowang Sect's Pot Heaven Sun and Moon, and the Fenghua Palace's Divine Wind Furnace."

"However, although the name is weaker, the power is not inferior at all!"

"When our Green Elixir Valley was at its peak, with a fourth-tier alchemist sitting in charge, assisted by six third-tier alchemists and thirty second-tier alchemists, refining simultaneously, they could cross the cultivation limit and refine fourth-tier elixirs!"

Luo Chen imagined that scene.

A person sitting high in the nine heavens, solely controlling the Azure Sky Mother Tripod.

Below him, thirty-six alchemists, each guarding a Glazed Sub-tripod, refining the same elixir simultaneously.

That scene was indeed a bit shocking!

"Today, I have truly opened my eyes!"

Sighing with emotion, Luo Chen shook his head and took a jade token from the other party's hand.

With this token, he could temporarily control the Glazed Sub-tripod.

A flame jumped out from the underground cave, and Chu Huai looked at Luo Chen curiously.

"This Fellow Daoist, are you not bringing your medicine apprentices and fire workers to familiarize themselves together?"

Tao Wan had always had this doubt.

"Luo Chen, our Tao family also has many first-tier alchemists who can come to help you. If it really doesn't work, I can let Yisheng come to be your assistant."

However, facing the doubts of the two.

Luo Chen smiled confidently.

"No need!"

"I alone am enough!"
