Chapter 431: Tianshan Alliance, Opening War, Fifty-Year Period, Lianyun Invitation

Time flew by.

Three years had passed since Luo Chen returned from the Ice Fortress.

In these three years, under his massive production of elixirs, he could stably supply the high-grade Jade Dew Elixirs required by the Ice Fortress.

The derivation of the second-tier Tongyou Elixir formula was also a great success.

After upgrading the second-tier main materials and changing eighteen auxiliary materials, Luo Chen confirmed through the system that the elixir formula could be mastered.

Then, relying on his own alchemy skills, he mastered it alone.

He wasted some raw materials but saved rare achievement points.

In this way, second-tier Tongyou Elixirs also gradually had some output.

Although one furnace only produced three pills.

But he kept two for himself, and the other one could be supplied to Chu Kui, allowing him to take it to increase his spiritual soul foundation and practice the "Locking Pearl Curtain" secret technique.

And for Luo Chen himself.

The biggest gain was not just this.

When the proficiency of the Blood-Increasing Elixir and the Dust-Descending Elixir were both brushed to Great Perfection, and he could refine top-grade ones.

His cultivation speed experienced a violent surge!

This day.

Inside the cave dwelling, Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with joy.

"Doubled!"

"Even without the help of a weak third-tier spiritual land, I still doubled my cultivation speed on the original foundation!"

Feeling the residual rolling blood Qi in his body being absorbed by his physique, and the newly added pure spiritual power in his Qi sea.

That feeling of joy lingered for a long time.

Top-grade Blood-Increasing Elixir, its medicinal power is terrifying!

Even top-grade Dust-Descending Elixirs could not fully digest it.

It often required two Dust-Descending Elixirs to refine essence into Qi and barely digest one top-grade Blood-Increasing Elixir.

Even then, there was still excess blood Qi, which was naturally absorbed by his physique.

This is definitely not because the top-grade Blood-Increasing Elixir is too powerful.

It is because the raw materials used to refine this elixir were the essence blood of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!

The raw materials were too precious.

It can be said that Luo Chen now seems to be taking elixirs to cultivate, but in reality, isn't he absorbing the essence of the entire lives of those Foundation Establishment True Cultivators killed by the Blood Demon?

The essence of over a hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, fused into Luo Chen's body alone.

The surge in cultivation progress is a matter of course!

Not only that!

"After the 'Qingyuan Wonderful Alchemy Method' reached Great Perfection, the effect mentioned at the beginning finally appeared: it can maximize the absorption and utilization of elixirs, and it will not leave behind elixir toxins."

"It is precisely by relying on the mutual completion of these two that I was able to double my cultivation speed again."

In the cultivation world, who else can stably take second-tier top-grade elixirs to assist cultivation?

Not to mention the preciousness of the main materials.

Just to refine these two elixirs, Luo Chen had to spend one hundred thousand of his annual income of three hundred thousand spirit stones on other main materials and auxiliary medicinal materials.

He is no longer just taking elixirs to cultivate, nor is he just absorbing the essence of those wrongly killed cultivators.

He is also crazily swallowing gold!

With a thought.

The attribute panel unfolded like a water curtain, rustling.

【Achievement Points: 59】

Looking at the dazzling array of entries, Luo Chen was amazed for a moment, then stabilized his mind.

He browsed through them one by one.

Regarding realm and lifespan, he would check them every few days, so there were no surprises.

After rising to the 8th layer of Foundation Establishment, the lifespan limit had indeed increased by another ten years, slightly making up for the lack of lifespan.

On the contrary, his trump card that he had been relying on recently, the body-refining realm, was improving too slowly.

Even the third-tier body-refining cultivation method "Ten Thousand Paths Convergence," which he had spent a large amount of achievement points to complete, had almost no improvement in proficiency.

The reason for this situation is actually not complicated.

"It's ultimately the lack of external force!"

This set of cultivation methods is good in every way, with almost no shortcomings and no flaws.

Only, it lacks one thing.

External force!

After all, when "Ten Thousand Paths Convergence" was created, it was to digest the massive amount of thunder force that had entered his body.

It can be said that his current Desolate Ancient 3rd Tier body-refining realm succeeded because of thunder force and failed because of thunder force!

If there are no subsequent changes.

I fear Luo Chen's body-refining realm will remain stagnant.

Even "Ten Thousand Paths Convergence," this set of culmination cultivation methods, will be shelved because of the lack of key factors.

However!

Regarding this, Luo Chen already had vague new ideas.

"When 'Ten Thousand Paths Convergence' was created, it was essentially borrowing the Fire Peng to cultivate the Thunder Peng through 'Heavenly Peng Transformation,' and then borrowing thunder to refine the body."

"Although there is no Heavenly Thunder force now, I have the fourth-tier Withered-Prosperous Fire, which is no weaker than thunder force."

"Then can I return to the essence and borrow fire to refine the body?"

This kind of assumption is definitely not an unfounded delusion without a foundation.

"Heavenly Peng Transformation" itself is a type of demon-like cultivation method in body refining. If you start with the essence blood of a Heavenly Fire Demon Peng, you cultivate the Fire Peng True Body; if you start with the essence blood of a Thunder Peng or Gold Peng, you cultivate those two.

Now Luo Chen starts with the essence blood of a Blazing Fire Cloud Peng, supplemented by Withered-Prosperous Fire.

He can completely re-walk the original path!

Even, it is more fitting.

Moreover, the Withered-Prosperous True Fire has already been refined by him and will not be harmful to his body like the Heavenly Thunder in the Soul Transformation ruin of Lei Shan.

Cultivating with this is the right path.

In fact, this is also an assumption that Luo Chen has gradually explored over the past few years while pondering the role of Withered-Prosperous Fire.

"However, no rush for now!"

"I know too little about Withered-Prosperous Fire; I need to find people who participated in the battle of Fenxiang Valley, borrow some classics about Withered-Prosperous Fire, and understand it before making plans."

"Even the assumption of borrowing fire to refine the body must wait for the future; the top priority is to form the Core first."

Although he is still young, the lack of a lifespan limit is still a stone that occasionally presses on Luo Chen's heart.

Forming the Core is the most important thing!

His gaze slid downward.

Thanks to the improvement of the three prerequisite spells: Water Mirror Technique Great Perfection, Flower Fairy, and God-Confusing Technique, the third-tier illusion spell Mirror Flower Water Moon has been synchronously upgraded to the Proficient level.

With advance preparation, it can barely be used to fight enemies.

This spell is also the existence second only to Ninety Thousand Miles among the third-tier spells Luo Chen has mastered.

The latter is already Great Perfection!

It is precisely by relying on this reliance that he dared to attack the Yan Alliance.

Fast speed, if you can't beat them, you can still run, right!

Especially after transforming into the Heavenly Peng True Body, Luo Chen's escape speed far exceeds that of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

Even the escape speed of ordinary early-stage Jin Dan cultivators, I fear, would be inferior to his by three points.

Speaking of which.

Over these years, his biggest gain is actually not these spells and cultivation methods.

It is alchemy!

Under the continuous refining every day, his alchemy foundation has been consolidated to an unimaginable level.

Qingyuan Wonderful Alchemy Method Great Perfection, Foundation-Cultivating Hand Great Perfection, Star-Plucking Hand Grandmaster, Scale-Turning Hand Perfect...

If you add the series of alchemy techniques that were already perfected earlier, such as the Huanxi Hand and Suxin Hand.

His mastery of basic alchemy techniques is now supernatural and can be used at will.

It is precisely because of this that he could easily master the second-tier Blood-Increasing Elixir and complete the second-tier Tongyou Elixir without relying on the system.

Even, in just three years, he brushed the Blood-Increasing Elixir, Dust-Descending Elixir, and Spirit-Feeding Pill to Great Perfection.

He also took the time to refine three portions of Emperor Flowing Plasma for emergencies.

Compared to these.

Another unexpected joy is that his physician profession, which he practiced unintentionally, has gradually made up for its shortcomings.

Basic Healing Technique, Bone-Restoring Technique, plus a first-tier Limb-Reattaching Technique learned from the "Fanghua Sutra" that Sun Sifang put into the Transmission Hall.

This Limb-Reattaching Technique is not the famous Golden Silkworm Broken-Limb Medical Technique.

It is just the simplest spell for reattaching limbs, specifically manifested as: if Luo Chen's arm were torn off at the root now, he could reattach it in a short time.

A very practical medical technique.

And advanced medical techniques also include the Five Viscera Returning Position Technique and the Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Formula.

It can be said that he has learned the basics of medical spells.

If he masters some more prescriptions and medical elixir formulas, he could even go out and open a clinic to treat illnesses and earn spirit stones.

Finally!

It is the achievement points.

Looking at the number "59," Luo Chen could not help but grin.

After brushing for several years, he has brushed the number of achievement points to a number that makes him very at ease.

This thing doesn't look important usually.

But at critical moments, it can play a big role!

Whether it is the Emperor Flowing Plasma used for Foundation Establishment, the Dust-Descending Elixir mastery in the Qingdan Valley competition, or even summarizing and creating "Ten Thousand Paths Convergence" in the Lei Shan ruin.

All show its importance!

"The more, the better!"

"Only then can I have the confidence to deal with complex emergencies."

After browsing through everything.

Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

Subsequent daily life will definitely still be alchemy and cultivation.

But what is presented on the system panel is that he still has many places where he can improve or complete.

Such as the "Ageless Evergreen Sutra," which after many years, is finally nearing perfection.

I wonder if there will be any mutations after this major sect core cultivation method is perfected?

This is worth looking forward to.

"Ten Thousand Paths Convergence," the assumption of borrowing fire to refine the body, is shelved for now, left for experimentation after forming the Core.

In terms of spells and medical techniques, there is no need to study them deeply for now.

In terms of alchemy, daily alchemy will use it, so there is no need to consider it specifically.

"Blazing Fire Miasma!"

"This is a good means, enough to contend with Jin Dan cultivators."

"However, this spell is very dependent on the grade of the refined evil Qi."

Luo Chen recalled the battle of Fenxiang Valley.

Although his Blazing Fire Miasma was originally intended only as a cover for the Thunder Immortal Bead.

But under the impact of Qin Tairan's Blazing Yang True Evil, it was completely defeated.

The reason for the crushing defeat is definitely not that this spell is too trashy.

It is that the grade of the massive amount of second-tier and third-tier Earth Fire Evil Qi was not as good as the Blazing Yang True Evil!

"Next, I can mobilize the power of the Luotian Society, as well as my connections, to massively acquire high-grade, high-quality evil Qi to complete this consumable means."

"It's best if it's fire-type evil Qi!"

"Like that Blazing Yang True Evil, it's quite good!"

Reviewing the past, looking at the present, considering the future, this is the purpose of Luo Chen browsing the attribute panel every time his realm improves.

After some calculation.

Luo Chen closed the attribute panel, released a cleaning spell on himself, and left the cultivation room.

Keen spiritual sense allowed him to already detect that someone had come to the door.

……

"President, there is a major event!"

Inside the cave dwelling, looking at Sima Huiniang, who rarely showed an impatient expression, Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

He said calmly: "What is it that makes you so restless? No rush, speak slowly."

Sima Huiniang took a deep breath and said word by word:

"Tianshan Alliance, Opening War!"

An unexpected, yet reasonable thing had happened.

But Luo Chen's expression still shook.

……

Tianlan Immortal City, where the first floor of the Zhongding family is located.

As one of the few industries of the Yuding Sword Sect that covers the entire domain, although the style and painting style do not fit the Sword Sect, such a large restaurant as the Zhongding family is indeed the first choice for wealthy cultivators to dine.

Some famous spiritual meals, dietary supplements, and snacks basically come from the Zhongding family.

It can satisfy the appetite of cultivators and also be beneficial to cultivation, so cultivators with a little bit of family wealth will always come to enjoy it every few days.

And such a place naturally has so-called class divisions.

The Zhongding family in Tianlan is divided into five floors.

The first floor is a place where Qi Refining cultivators often go.

The second floor is generally a place where wealthy Qi Refining cultivators or Foundation Establishment True Cultivators can set foot.

As for the third floor, only Jin Dan True Persons can use it.

The fourth and fifth floors are vacant all year round.

It is said that they are prepared for Nascent Soul True Persons and Soul Transformation Great Powers.

There are Soul Transformation cultivators in this world!

Although they are not visible to the world, there are many legends of them walking outside.

Other things aside, just the ruin of the cave dwelling of the Soul Transformation Great Power Bai Ye in Lei Shan can be evidence.

It is rumored that within the holy lands of the five domains, there are many Soul Transformation Great Powers in seclusion, aiming for the great cause of ascension!

Of course, whether a mere Zhongding family can make spiritual meals that satisfy Soul Transformation Great Powers is another matter.

At least, today's Zhongding family is exceptionally lively.

Inside the second floor.

More than a dozen Foundation Establishment True Cultivators appeared, which is rare!

Dozens of wealthy Qi Refining cultivators also went upstairs to dine.

As for whether these people are really here to eat and enjoy spiritual meals, that is a matter of opinion.

At least, at the window seat, that man and woman are definitely not just enjoying food.

Luo Chen sipped warm wine, and his powerful spiritual sense spread out silently.

In fact, there is no need for spiritual sense to eavesdrop.

On the second floor, the voices were loud and discussions were endless.

The topics discussed were almost all related to the Opening War.

"Three years ago, the Core Formation Ceremony of the Ice Soul Fairy was held, and all parties came to congratulate, but in reality, it was to discuss the ceasefire agreement between the two major upper sects."

"It is rumored that True Person Han Zhan and True Person Yuding both went to Tianshan and reached a consensus."

"Is the Opening War true or false?"

"I'm afraid it's true. The ruin of the cave dwelling of the Great Power Bai Ye has been closed. It is said that the holy land Mingyuan Sect sent people over."

"Great Power Bai Ye was a Soul Transformation ancestor of the Mingyuan Sect during his lifetime, so it is normal for people to come from there. I guess they couldn't bear to see the Yuding civil strife and waste human strength, so they ordered the Luoyun Sect to initiate an Opening War!"

"This matter, we got the news late. I heard that the outer-domain upper sects had already guessed it and sent vanguards in advance to station in the Yuding Domain to prepare for the Opening War."

"In the last Opening War, sixteen sects jointly attacked Lianxia and established the Yuding Domain. This time, I don't know what the lineup will be."

"I don't know what the lineup is, I only know that this is an opportunity, a great opportunity for us rogue cultivators to ascend in one step!"

……

Voices of discussion came to his ears, and Luo Chen's expression became increasingly solemn.

After a long time.

He nodded to Sima Huiniang.

"It seems the news we got is correct."

More than just correct!

The news actively sent from the Ice Fortress side was even more detailed than what the people here were discussing.

The Eastern Wasteland holy land Mingyuan Sect indeed sent a Nascent Soul elder to the Yuding Domain.

The first thing the other party did was to take back the exploration rights of the Sword Sect and Luoyun Sect to Bai Ye's cave dwelling and temporarily closed that cave dwelling.

The second thing was to mediate the civil war between the two major upper sects and order them to cease fire.

The third thing was to let the Luoyun Sect initiate an external war to open up the million mountains of the Eastern Wasteland!

There are many details here.

The main location was the Ice Fortress Tianshan, and the time was also within these three years.

The forces involved were not just the two major upper sects of the Yuding Domain and the four Jin Dan sects.

Over the past three years, outer-domain cultivators have constantly gone to Tianshan.

To discuss matters related to the Opening War.

Sima Huiniang nodded and said solemnly:

"The initially set time is fifty years later!"

"Currently, the sects that have initially decided to join the Opening War include five Nascent Soul upper sects and thirteen Jin Dan major sects, covering seven major domains."

The five Nascent Soul upper sects are led by the Luoyun Sect, supplemented by the Yuding Sword Sect, Tianfan City, the Medicine King Sect, and the Hehuan Sect!

These are all upper sects that are relatively close.

And those thirteen Jin Dan major sects, excluding the four Jin Dan sects in the Yuding Domain itself, the other nine are also not unknown figures.

Just this!

And this is only the initial decision to join.

In the fifty years of preparation time, I don't know how many more Jin Dan major sects and Nascent Soul upper sects will join one after another.

Everyone knows that although the Opening War has huge casualties, the benefits are also incomparably rich.

The reason why the Medicine King Sect can dominate a domain and sell elixirs everywhere.

Is because they have participated in no less than five Opening Wars!

Each time, they can not only constantly force the Jin Dan sects in their domain to move out, but also allow their elixir business to reach new territories.

Tianfan City is a rising star.

It is very clear that they are also imitating the actions of the Medicine King Sect.

It can even be said that in this Yuding civil war, and even the subsequent Opening War, they played the most important role as the mastermind behind the scenes.

As long as there is fighting, the wear and tear on magic tools and magic treasures is always the greatest.

Otherwise.

A magic tool of excellent quality, a cultivator uses it for a hundred years, repairs it for another hundred years, passes it to descendants, and it can still be used for a hundred years.

If they really do that, what spirit stones will the casting sect earn?

Drink the northwest wind?

Only war!

Magic tools and magic treasures will be crazily consumed, and Tianfan City can extract huge profits from it.

Thinking of fifty years later, after the war begins.

I don't know how many cultivators will join it, even Luo Chen felt a bit hot-blooded for a moment.

But after a short burst of hot blood, he forcibly calmed down.

"During the war preparation period, the Yuding Domain will inevitably be the largest bridgehead, and Tianlan Immortal City is in the direction of the east."

"Fifty years, I don't know how many Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, or even Jin Dan and Nascent Soul figures will gather in Tianlan Immortal City."

"No wonder Senior Sister Cang Long told me to keep a low profile in advance."

"I fear there are also worries in this regard, fearing that I will provoke some existences that cannot be provoked."

Put yourself in others' shoes!

Luo Chen looked at Sima Huiniang.

"The expansion of our Luotian Society should also end here!"

Sima Huiniang nodded, "I have this intention too. The current business is enough to maintain the three thousand cultivators of the Luotian Society. Even if you, President, achieve the Jin Dan stage, you should be able to support it. Expanding further will only easily lead to disputes with others."

Changes in the general trend often involve small characters.

Even the famous Luo Chen, under this torrent of the era, sometimes cannot help himself.

Looking at the cultivators discussing in the Zhongding family restaurant.

It can be seen that the Opening War is already inevitable.

Otherwise, these people would not have received the news so quickly.

Shaking his head, Luo Chen got up and walked downstairs.

Sima Huiniang paid the spirit stones and followed closely behind.

The two are not unknown figures in Tianlan Immortal City, and seeing their movements, pairs of eyes subconsciously followed.

After they left, there were also many voices of discussion.

It's just that these have nothing to do with Luo Chen.

What he cares about is mainly the news related to the Opening War.

Just one month after the Tianshan Alliance.

More detailed news came.

"The Fenghua Domain upper sect Fenghua Palace decided to participate in the war, the Shenfu Domain Shenfu Sect decided to participate in the war, and another three Jin Dan sects joined the Opening War."

"During the fifty-year war preparation period, life-and-death struggles at the Jin Dan stage and above are prohibited within the Yuding Domain. Violators will be investigated by the seven major Nascent Soul upper sects!"

"The Luoyun Sect and the Sword Sect jointly established a law enforcement team to patrol the entire territory!"

These three pieces of news completely dispelled the thoughts of some outer-domain cultivators who were eager to move.

Those outer-domain cultivators who wanted to fish in troubled waters in the Yuding Domain had to stop for a while.

Even robbery cultivators have to shrink their hands and feet.

Otherwise, if they are really caught by the law enforcement team, I fear even the possibility of reincarnation will be erased.

Inside the cave dwelling.

Luo Chen looked at the intelligence submitted by Xing Zonghan and could not help but rub his eyebrows.

The participation of Fenghua Palace was actually within expectations.

The former site of the Yan Alliance is now occupied by a first-tier force called the Fengyu Villa.

And among the two Jin Dan True Persons who formed the Fengyu Villa, one of them comes from the Qifeng Sect of the Fenghua Domain.

This person, named Diwu Qi, is rumored to be a guest elder of the Fenghua Palace.

He is acting as a vanguard, coming to the Yuding Domain in advance to scout for the Fenghua Palace.

"There is a lot of wind and rain here, I fear that after the war begins, our Luotian Society will also be swept into it."

"Under that rolling general trend, how should I conduct myself?"

Just as he was worried about the future.

An invitation was sent to the cave dwelling.

"To Danchenzi:

It has been six years since we last parted.

Your demeanor in attacking the Yan Alliance and fighting Jin Dan, although I did not see it in person, is like thunder in my ears, still before my eyes.

That battle was such a great feat, I only regret that this old man could not fight side by side with you...

I have long heard that you have extremely high attainments in alchemy, and I also have several friends who are interested in the Dao of Alchemy, who want to communicate with you.

I don't know when you will be free, so that I can admire your true appearance and communicate on the Dao of Alchemy.

——Helian Yunqi!"

Looking at this invitation, Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

He had been back for three years, and although he lived in seclusion, he did not deliberately hide his figure.

In these three years, there were quite a few people who wanted to visit him!

Most of them were politely declined by him in the name of recovering from injuries.

But this one, it is worth seeing.

Helian Yun, founder of the Lianyun Business Alliance, and also the Great Elder of the Lianyun Business Alliance.

An existence at the 9th layer of Foundation Establishment.

"However, the friends he mentioned who are interested in the Dao of Alchemy?"

Luo Chen ruminated on this sentence, and an intriguing expression appeared on his face.
