Chapter 324

Longevity Starts from an Alchemy Grandmaster, Main Text, Chapter 329: Five Peaks Covering the Valley, Azure Sky Glaze, Second Day.

On Xiaonanshan, hundreds of cultivators gathered together.

After resting for a whole night, Tao Yisheng, who had changed into a brand-new Daoist robe, appeared before everyone in high spirits.

Supported by everyone, he sat on the Family Head's throne.

A grand feast was held.

And at this feast, Tao Yisheng also announced to everyone in public.

"From now on, Master Dan Chenzi is the guest of our Tao family!"

"Everyone, 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 Qingdan Valley, and on the front was a small golden chrysanthemum.

The meaning was self-evident.

Qingdan Valley, Tao family!

From then on, Luo Chen was a guest of 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 that if the other party really became the Golden Core Dao Seed of the Qingdan Valley, then when selling high-grade elixirs to Luo Chen, she would also need a nominal identity.

High-grade elixirs of the Qingdan Valley usually do not flow out.

Either they are consumed internally.

Or they are exchanged with other major sects for precious resources.

In terms of cultivation, low-grade elixirs are daily necessities, but high-grade elixirs can already be called strategic resources.

Luo Chen is now a guest of the Tao family, which can be considered as one of their own in name.

In this way, it is not considered an outflow of elixirs.

Tao Wan also does not need to worry about being punished by the sect's rules.

Of course!

Luo Chen should not expect the treatment of a family guest.

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

Similarly.

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

Their relationship is very flexible.

Luo Chen did not participate much in this meeting for the Family Head's ascension.

After getting the guest token.

He hurried back to the Mohe Small Courtyard.

Closing the door, five things were placed in front of him.

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

These things were the reward that Tao Wan specially gave him today.

The reward for asking him to take action!

In the three jade bottles were the third-tier elixir Dragon Ascension Elixir, a specialty of the Qingdan Valley, the third-tier elixir Ice Phoenix Pill, a specialty of the Ice Fortress, and the second-tier elixir Colorful Chrysanthemum Elixir that Tao Yisheng had just refined yesterday.

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

Combined with the Golden Core secret technique Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation sent by Dantai Jin, using them together during the Golden Core formation could increase the chance of Golden Core formation by ten percent.

In this way, no matter what happens in life later.

Luo Chen finally had a glimmer of hope for Golden Core formation.

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

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

Being able to win uprightly in the alchemy competition for the Family Head position, Luo Chen deserved the primary credit!

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

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

This had already far exceeded the friendship of a friend or a guest.

Vaguely, there was a feeling of treating him as a master.

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

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

This was also a cultivation-type elixir recipe developed by the Tao family ancestor, Nanshan Shangren, back then.

It was not handed over to the Qingdan Valley, so it was not under the sect's jurisdiction.

As for that book.

It was the Golden Core formation experience left by Nanshan Shangren.

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 him the reward.

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

Whether she could win the Dao Seed position finally 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 and did not give him these things in front of him, Luo Chen would have nowhere to complain.

Giving them in advance now also put his mind at ease.

Putting away the elixirs and the Golden Core formation experience.

For the time being, he did not need these things and would study them when he had free time later.

Luo Chen's attention turned to the recipe for the Colorful Chrysanthemum Elixir.

Refining cultivation elixirs by himself is essential!

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

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

That is drug resistance!

He had taken a large amount of Qi-Nurturing Elixirs during the Qi Refining stage, and finally developed drug resistance.

Although after Foundation Establishment, the recipes for second-tier elixirs were more perfect, he could not withstand taking too many and too frequently!

To avoid drug resistance.

He had been rotating between Dragon Ascension Elixirs and Qi-Harmonizing Elixirs for the past few years.

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

He was afraid that a certain elixir would develop drug resistance in advance.

But that day would eventually come.

Therefore, Luo Chen had to prepare 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 recipe developed by a generation of third-tier alchemists, Nanshan Shangren, is!"

Looking at the thin piece of paper in front of him, Luo Chen could not wait to put his heart and soul into studying it.

While Luo Chen was studying the elixir recipe.

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

The Dao Seed struggle 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 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, invited by true disciples, came to the Qingdan Valley in person.

Tao Wan took time to find Luo Chen several times.

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

These sect disciples were always high and mighty, looking at people with their nostrils.

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

Young people like Tao Yisheng, who had just started, were really too few.

Tao Wan did not force it, 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.

Heading straight for Mount Yuanhua!

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

This peculiar scene made Tao Wan, who was beside him, show a look of surprise.

"It is rumored that Fellow Daoist's spells are extremely exquisite; even this small Wind-Controlling Technique is 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 real Qingdan Valley!"

"Oh?"

Luo Chen was a bit surprised; did the territory they were in now not belong to the Qingdan Valley?

Not long after, he understood what "Qingdan Valley" was!

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 high mountain peaks were arranged neatly in five directions.

And between the five mountains, there were groups of palaces, continuous and endless.

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

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

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

It was as if it had been locked!

"It is truly a major sect!"

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

Luo Chen sighed endlessly.

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

This area alone far exceeded the ordinary second-tier cave dwellings of Tianlan Peak.

And on the five mountain peaks around, there was a concentration of spiritual energy more than ten times higher, which was fascinating.

Each mountain peak was enough to rival Tianlan Peak!

In other words, each mountain could be seen 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 Peak, Azure Cloud Peak, Danyang Peak, and Mount Luojia, these five big mountains, contain third-tier spiritual lands. Therefore, only those who have formed the Golden Core can live there."

"Of course, if one is accepted as a disciple by a Golden Core Shangren, one can occasionally enter the third-tier spiritual land to cultivate."

Tao Wan briefly explained the layout of the Qingdan Valley.

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

Luo Chen watched with amazement.

The spiritual land occupied by the Qingdan Valley not only had a vast area but also a first-class layout.

Not to mention the scattered spiritual lands like Xiaonanshan outside.

Just these five spiritual mountains alone would produce countless resources every year.

And the alchemy valley nurtured by the five spiritual mountains would inevitably have an increasing concentration of spiritual energy.

Sure enough!

Tao Wan mentioned the situation of the alchemy valley next.

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

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

"Now, hundreds of years later, the alchemy valley has reached the second-tier high-grade level. In time, thousands of years later, this alchemy valley will inevitably be able to achieve a fourth-tier spiritual land!"

"By then, if our Qingdan 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 reverie.

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

Using the means of moving mountains and filling seas to forge the feng shui layout of five peaks covering the valley.

They even wanted to nurture this alchemy valley into a fourth-tier spiritual land.

Suddenly.

He remembered the elixir-nurturing technique in "Qingyuan Elixir Solution."

Why can't this "Alchemy Valley" be seen as a "Great Elixir"?

Under the nurturing of five spiritual lands that are all third-tier, the grade constantly climbs, finally exceeding the limit of the five peaks themselves, reaching a fourth-tier spiritual land!

Thinking of this, Luo Chen's heart was shocked.

The alchemy skills of the Qingdan Valley seem to be no longer limited to ordinary elixirs.

This is refining a spiritual land as an elixir!

While he was daydreaming.

The two of them flew very fast and soon arrived at the heart of the alchemy valley.

Landing on a flat ground, Luo Chen looked up curiously at the nine high platforms that were far apart.

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

"This is?"

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

A Great True Disciple is still a true disciple.

It's just that this identity only appears during the Dao Seed struggle.

Once it ends, it will be withdrawn.

Of course, being able to become one of the nine Great True Disciples during the Dao Seed struggle is already standing out.

Even if one fails later, one will be noticed by the sect's high-level officials.

Correspondingly, there will also be some tilt in cultivation resources.

Over the years, the Golden Core Shangren of the Qingdan Valley were not all promoted from Dao Seeds.

Many of them obtained resources through the identity of Great True Disciple and thus formed the Golden Core.

As she spoke.

Tao Wan cast a voice transmission talisman.

Not long after, a person flew over.

"Senior Sister Tao!"

"Chu Huai, connect the earth fire, take out the trial alchemy cauldron; 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 cauldron 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 Cauldron, this cauldron was extremely small.

But the aura emitted from it made Luo Chen look sideways.

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

"No!"

"Why is there vaguely a magic treasure aura?"

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

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

"I must let Fellow Daoist know that this cauldron is the treasure of our Qingdan Valley's sect!"

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

Just kidding, that's not how you joke!

Tao Wan shook her head and said: "This is indeed the treasure of the Qingdan Valley's sect, but it is only one of the sub-cauldrons of the Azure Sky Glaze Cauldron."

Sub-cauldron?

Luo Chen was still puzzled.

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

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

And, if there is a sub-cauldron, doesn't that mean there is a mother cauldron?

Seeing this, Tao Wan explained in detail: "Our Qingdan Valley has a high-grade magic treasure passed down for a thousand years, which was cast in a mother-child interlocking way. It is divided into the mother cauldron, the Azure Sky Cauldron, and thirty-six Glazed Sub-cauldrons."

"It is rumored that the predecessors of the Qingdan Valley once used this magic treasure to refine a fourth-tier elixir with the cultivation of a Golden Core mid-stage, which was famous for a time!"

"To be relatively fair in the second round of competition, when you compete, you will all use the same Glazed Sub-cauldron and the same grade of earth fire. Even the Senior Brother Danyangzi cannot use his original true fire and must follow the competition rules."

Luo Chen was dazzled and felt dazed for a moment.

A magic treasure can actually be divided into thirty-six sub-cauldrons?

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

Chu Huai also helped from the side: "Senior Sister is right, this Azure Sky Glaze Cauldron is a famous alchemy magic treasure even in the thirty-six domains of the Eastern Wasteland. It is second only to the Medicine King Sect's Pot-in-Sun-Moon and the Fenghua Palace's Divine Wind Furnace."

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

"At the peak of our Qingdan Valley, a fourth-tier alchemist sat in town, assisted by six third-tier alchemists and thirty second-tier alchemists. Refining together, they could cross the cultivation limit and refine fourth-tier elixirs!"

Luo Chen imagined that scene.

A person high in the nine heavens, holding the Azure Sky Mother Cauldron alone.

Below him, thirty-six alchemists, each guarding a Glazed Sub-cauldron, refining an elixir at the same time.

That scene was indeed a bit shocking!

"Today, I have really opened my eyes!"

Sighing, 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-cauldron.

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

"This Fellow Daoist, are you not bringing your medicinal apprentices and fire workers to familiarize yourself with the venue 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'll let Yisheng come to help you."

However, facing their doubts.

Luo Chen smiled confidently.

"No need!"

"I alone am enough!"
