Chapter 462: Hunyuan Treasure Cauldron, Danxia Alliance

Tao Wan has left.

As a sect leader, she actually has a lot of things to do.

The sect provides her with spiritual land, helps her form a Golden Core, and even prepares her natal magic treasure in advance.

All these things are not free.

Handling various trivial matters for the Qingdan Valley is the price she has to pay.

In this way, it will naturally occupy her cultivation time greatly.

However, for every gain, there is a corresponding price to pay.

She envies her senior brother Danyangzi, who can focus on cultivation and study alchemy.

She also feels a sense of sympathy for Luo Chen, who is calculating every penny and running around to form an alliance.

Without power or influence, and without elders to carry him.

Some people are born with a life of running around.

In comparison, her life is actually much more comfortable than Luo Chen's.

That is why she occasionally shows admiration for the other party.

Even under the protection of the sect, she feels that doing things is troublesome.

How difficult it is for the other party, a rogue cultivator, to reach this point.

Luo Chen himself is not so self-pitying.

He is currently in high spirits and full of ambition.

Although he has to meet Golden Core cultivators one by one recently, and every word needs to be carefully weighed, he has long been accustomed to such things.

The realm of the Golden Core stage has really given him a lot of confidence.

At least!

No need to bow to every Golden Core cultivator and call them "True Person" in every word.

Just like this, after sending Tao Wan away, he fell into a sea of praise again.

"Brother Luo, you have really become a Golden Core cultivator. If my grandfather knew in the underworld, I guess his eyeballs would fall out in surprise."

In the small courtyard in the mountains, Chen Shuyi looked at Luo Chen with admiration.

The grandfather she mentioned was naturally the old Daoist Chen who set up a stall with Luo Chen back then.

The other party had already passed away fifty years ago.

He lived to be ninety years old.

At this age, among Qi Refining cultivators, it is considered short-lived.

However, it was also expected.

The other party made a living by making talismans in his early years, and in order to earn more spirit stones to support his granddaughter's cultivation, he also learned the skill of making talisman skins.

That talisman skin is not paper or bark, but animal skin!

Living in that environment all year round, how could he not be short-lived?

Back then in the Dahe Market, he was already old and decrepit at sixty. Later, after some tossing, he traveled thousands of miles to the Divine Talisman Domain.

When he got there, he set up a stall again and returned to his old business.

In the end, he unfortunately died of old age.

Perhaps, for him, the only comfort was seeing his granddaughter successfully reach Foundation Establishment before he died!

Thinking of the old friend, Luo Chen was quite melancholy.

In a trance, the scenes of setting up stalls together and arguing back then seemed to be right before his eyes.

He shook his head and handed out a jade bottle.

"This is?" Chen Shuyi took the jade bottle curiously.

Luo Chen smiled: "A bottle of Yulu Elixir, perhaps it can help you break through the third level of Foundation Establishment and enter the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment."

Chen Shuyi's eyes lit up, and she immediately hugged the jade bottle tightly.

Seeing her like this, Luo Chen was puzzled.

"The Divine Talisman Sect is a Nascent Soul sect, is the supply of elixirs very scarce?"

Fu Xiuxiu on the side sighed: "It is precisely because it is a Nascent Soul sect that there are many disciples! The competition within the sect is immense, and wanting to get ahead is even more difficult. Little Shuyi reached Foundation Establishment at over forty, which is excellent for a rogue cultivator, but in the sect, it is nothing, and she doesn't get any special treatment."

"Didn't she also inherit old Daoist Chen's talisman-making technique, she can always..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Chen stopped himself.

Talisman-making technique?

The Divine Talisman Sect is the least lacking in talisman-making techniques.

Even within the Divine Talisman Domain, it is estimated that businesses related to talismans are basically wrapped up by the Divine Talisman Sect and the large and small families within the sect.

It is not Chen Shuyi's turn at all.

If you deduct the time she has to go out to take turns in local business and take care of the sect's industries after reaching Foundation Establishment.

Chen Shuyi being able to cultivate to the peak of the third level of Foundation Establishment is already very hard work.

Cultivating in a top-tier great sect is like this.

Resources are limited, opportunities are limited, and competition is infinite.

Luo Chen looked at the descendant of his old friend with pity, and then looked at Fu Xiuxiu.

"Sister Xiuxiu, you are not bad, you are already a great cultivator at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment."

The other party left Dahe Market for more than eighty years.

Now she is only over a hundred years old.

Being able to have this realm, there is hope for a Golden Core!

Fu Xiuxiu shook her head: "I just took advantage of my constitution, plus I successfully reached Foundation Establishment in the second year after entering the sect, so I was valued by Elder Ye, who took me into the sect, and that's how I have this realm. Compared to you, it's nothing at all."

She said it lightly, but the hardship in it is probably not easy.

With Luo Chen's knowledge, he naturally understood Fu Xiuxiu's constitution long ago.

It is a rare Jiangze constitution, although it is not as good as Li Yingzhang's Nine-Curve Loop constitution, but in daily cultivation, the spiritual power is like the lake water at the bottom of the Jiangze, quite pure.

That is why the other party dared to force Foundation Establishment without Foundation Establishment Elixir back then.

Even if it failed, she could save her life.

Luo Chen also took out a bottle of high-grade Yulu Elixir as before and gave it to the other party.

Fu Xiuxiu was embarrassed to accept it: "We didn't send you a congratulatory gift for forming the Golden Core, how can we accept your gift."

"It's not a gift, it's just a heart. And you brought that Daoist Ye Xiang to congratulate me, strengthening the prestige of my Luotian Sect, which is already a great gift!"

"Master was just passing by Tianlan, heard me mention you, and came to visit out of curiosity."

Seeing Fu Xiuxiu decline, Luo Chen's expression became serious: "Back then you gave me moonlight grass, and I accepted it without hesitation. Now it's just a bottle of elixir, for me, a master alchemist famous in the cultivation world, it's nothing at all. Sister Xiuxiu, are you still going to refuse?"

Fu Xiuxiu opened her mouth and had to accept it.

Looking at the way the other party rubbed the jade bottle, Luo Chen sighed in his heart.

The two women's temperaments are different from back then.

It seems that within the Divine Talisman Sect, they are also walking on thin ice and living quite hard.

Especially in the subsequent conversation, after he learned the purpose of the other party's visit, this idea was further verified.

The opening war is a risk, but also an opportunity.

Those with a rich family background will naturally not take this risk.

Only Fu Xiuxiu, Chen Shuyi, and others who have no foundation volunteered to come to the front line to earn cultivation resources.

Especially Chen Shuyi, who took advantage of Fu Xiuxiu to get this quota.

Yes, there is a quota for going to the battlefield!

From here, we can also see how fierce the competition in the sect is.

"In this way, we can be considered to be in the same boat." Luo Chen said with a smile.

Fu Xiuxiu was curious: "Are you going to participate in the opening war too?"

Luo Chen nodded.

Chen Shuyi on the side was puzzled: "Brother Luo, you are now a famous alchemist, there are people who want to curry favor with you, why take the risk."

Luo Chen sighed, but didn't explain much.

Fu Xiuxiu squeezed Chen Shuyi's hand, preventing the other party from continuing to ask.

She knew that under any glory, there are unknown troubles.

Not to mention anything else, just the Danxia Peak under his feet, a mere first-tier spiritual land, is not worthy of Luo Chen's realm at all.

The other party seeks a lot, and the glory in front of others is not as real as the improvement of cultivation.

After a pleasant conversation, Luo Chen said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he pulled over Gu Caiyi, who was reminiscing, and whispered.

"From the warehouse, pick two high-quality low-grade magic treasures and send them to them before they leave tomorrow."

Gu Caiyi was puzzled: "Will they lack magic treasures?"

"They lack them!"

With Luo Chen's keen spiritual sense, he could naturally judge whether Chen Shuyi had the aura of a magic treasure.

Moreover, he knew very well that the Yuding Domain and the Divine Talisman Domain were completely different.

Or rather, they were different from all other cultivation domains.

Because of the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Tianfan City, it led to the flooding of inferior magic treasures in the Yuding Domain.

Other cultivation domains have their own overlords to suppress, so they don't allow Tianfan City to mess around like that.

Even inferior magic treasures have lethality far exceeding top-tier magic tools, and for Foundation Establishment True Persons, they are proper big killers.

It is even said that this opening war involving twenty-seven sects is very likely to have the fueling of Tianfan City.

After all, with the quality of magic tools and magic treasures, they are used for a hundred years, passed down for a hundred years, and patched up for another hundred years.

Without war, how to consume? How to update?

Without damage and destruction, how can a super casting sect like Tianfan City profit from it.

With the rise of the realm, Luo Chen's vision has become more and more open, and some so-called guesses in the past are now certainties.

In his view.

The Luoyun Sect's surprise attack on the Yan Alliance when the war was about to subside was very likely instigated by Tianfan City.

The other party was well-informed and knew that the appearance of the Soul Transformation ruins would inevitably attract cultivators from the holy land Mingyuan Sect.

As long as the holy land experts descend, the internal war in Yuding will naturally be impossible to continue.

Then, under the mediation of the holy land, human contradictions will shift outward, and an opening war will inevitably be carried out.

In this way, destroying the Yan Alliance, which is also a casting sect, in advance, can create a better environment for Tianfan City's subsequent profits.

This guess, in Luo Chen's view, is nine out of ten true!

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the Yuding Sword Sect did not rescue the Yan Alliance, but turned to attack the Qingdan Valley.

The two sides were clearly fighting a tacit war.

Each destroyed the party that threatened them.

The tacit understanding here is not only the tacit understanding between the Luoyun Sect and the Sword Sect, but also the tacit understanding between the Sword Sect and Tianfan City.

Having reached this status today.

Luo Chen has been able to see the leopard and judge the situation of the great sects and superior sects.

The only thing he still can't figure out is the scale of this opening war.

Although the Xiaoyue Mountain Range is large, it far exceeds the Yuding Domain.

But it doesn't reach the point of using the power of twenty-seven sects.

He previously thought that the Ice Fortress, True Person Canglong, had some plans.

But True Person Canglong failed to form a Nascent Soul, so it is naturally impossible to set up another banner and hold an opening war at the same time.

It was precisely this doubt that made Luo Chen make the decision to form an alliance of three parties!

There are many monks and little porridge, and if you want to get a share of the pie, you can't do it without a certain amount of strength.

He even felt that the strength of the Luotian Alliance was slightly weaker, so Luo Chen continued to maintain friendly relations with Golden Core great sects like the Ice Fortress and Qingdan Valley, just in case.

In the half-month wait for the three-party alliance, Luo Chen was not idle.

He was studying the iron slip Tao Wan gave him.

Perhaps it was Luo Chen's reputation for keeping his word, or perhaps it was his deep connection with the Qingdan Valley.

This cooperation, the Qingdan Valley was very generous.

Before Luo Chen actually took action to help refine the Nascent Soul Elixir, Tao Wan handed the iron slip recording the natal magic treasure to Luo Chen in advance.

Involving the natal magic treasure, Luo Chen naturally cared.

In the cave.

Luo Chen looked at the empty iron slip, and his spiritual sense derived and covered it.

Then.

One by one, ancient characters emerged.

"Hunyuan Cauldron..."

According to Tao Wan, the Qingdan Valley has three casting methods for cauldron-type natal magic treasures.

They are the Hunyuan Cauldron, the Liangyi Cauldron, and the Liuli Cauldron.

The famous Qingtian Liuli Cauldron of the Qingdan Valley today uses the Liuli Cauldron casting method, which was cast by the founding ancestor and nurtured to the level of a high-grade magic treasure before the other party passed away.

Over the years, under the constant sacrifice of generations of Qingdan Valley disciples, the grade has not been lost, and the power is even more outstanding.

These three cauldrons have their own wonderful uses.

Like the Liuli Cauldron, once cast, it will strengthen the grade of the elixir, often achieving incredible effects in the hands of the owner of the magic treasure, and can often refine higher-grade elixirs across levels.

For an alchemist, it is definitely a one-in-a-million choice!

The Qingdan Valley naturally could not bear to give this casting method to Luo Chen.

However, the Hunyuan Cauldron is also quite extraordinary.

Hunyuan—Chaos is one, the beginning of vitality!

All-encompassing, everything!

The concept is very high-end.

The real situation is naturally impossible, even Nascent Soul True Persons and Soul Transformation great powers cannot say such big words.

However, when implemented, it is relatively objective.

The advantage of the Hunyuan Cauldron is that if an alchemist uses this as a natal magic treasure, then this cauldron can almost be used in the refining of any kind of elixir.

In the cultivation world, there are countless elixirs, and the refining methods are naturally countless.

And the requirements for alchemy tools for the refining of many elixirs are also completely different.

Mainstream elixirs mostly use ordinary alchemy tools.

But the requirements for alchemy tools for some powerful elixirs are very high.

Or it must be a tool of a certain pure attribute, for example, it cannot contain other attributes, only a furnace cast from gold-type materials.

Or it cannot use tools containing metallic substances, but must use innate things and associated things to wrap and refine.

Even, there is the so-called living creature alchemy method, using living creatures as containers to refine elixirs.

Such kinds are extremely strict.

Luo Chen was just not high enough in realm before, and there were not many types of elixirs refined, so he hadn't encountered this kind of thing yet.

But as his realm rises, if he wants to continue on the alchemy path, he is very likely to encounter this situation.

And the Hunyuan Cauldron can solve this problem!

As long as it is not that kind of extreme requirement, the Hunyuan Cauldron can basically satisfy it.

In other words.

If Luo Chen really cast the Hunyuan Cauldron, he wouldn't need to bring other alchemy tools when refining elixirs in the future.

In addition, the Hunyuan Cauldron also has some incidental effects.

Such as the ability to suppress, the ability to defend, etc.

These are all incidental.

Finally!

That is a common advantage of the three Qingdan cauldrons, which can be upgraded by elixir energy!

Cultivators refine elixirs all year round and will be stained with a little elixir energy.

In fact, the elixir energy remaining on the alchemy tools is even more!

For this kind of elixir energy, alchemists will often clear it away, otherwise, the accumulation of too much mixed elixir energy will affect the refining of new elixirs.

This is why Luo Chen used to let people below clean the furnace for him every time he finished refining elixirs.

Elixir energy is harmful!

But the three Qingdan cauldrons go the opposite way, absorbing various residual elixir energies to promote the upgrade of the magic treasure.

It sounds incredible, but the Qingdan Valley has indeed done it.

The reason why their town-sect magic treasure, the Qingtian Liuli Cauldron, has been passed down for many years and can still maintain its grade is that it is often taken out and let the large and small alchemists of the Qingdan Valley refine elixirs. Then use the residual elixir energy to nourish the treasure cauldron!

"If I use the Hunyuan Cauldron as a natal magic treasure, besides daily elixir fire sacrifice, combined with my frequent alchemy times, I will definitely be able to quickly improve the grade of the magic treasure."

"This advantage is indeed far better than other magic treasures."

No wonder it is said that the natal magic treasure of an alchemist is best to choose alchemy tools.

Not to mention the ability to attack and defend, just the advantages of fast sacrifice and fast grade improvement are enough to cover other shortcomings.

Just reading the iron slip a few times, Luo Chen had already decided to use this treasure as his natal magic treasure!

The description above is really tempting!

"However, to cast this thing, the materials needed are really too many."

Luo Chen muttered.

The reason why the Hunyuan Cauldron can satisfy the refining of most elixirs, and even have incidental suppression, defense, and other effects, is naturally not something that ordinary materials can do.

Luo Chen scanned down ten lines at a glance, and the names of those precious materials made his eyelids jump wildly.

Geng gold, black sinking wood, cold marrow, fire spirit diamond, tracing mud.

The five major main materials are all materials that start at at least the third tier!

Moreover, from the attributes of the main materials, it can also be seen why this magic treasure is called "Hunyuan Cauldron".

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are all complete, isn't it Hunyuan as one!

Besides that, the list of auxiliary materials is also staggering.

Xuan iron, ink lead, quicksand essence gold, soft thunder sand, Xuanluo gold, copper essence...

Finally, the iron slip also records that if you can add heaven and earth treasures, as well as various attribute mineral materials such as wind, thunder, ice, and darkness, it would be best.

Luo Chen studied it and probably understood why it is said that the more precious mineral materials added, the better.

It is to achieve the so-called "Hunyuan" meaning.

"If it were an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, I'm afraid they would never be able to collect them all in their lifetime."

"This kind of material requirement must be a person with a rich family background to be able to do it."

"It is worthy of being a natal magic treasure tailored for alchemists!"

Alchemists, they are rich and oily.

Luo Chen, as a famous alchemist, plus many battle captures, is naturally quite rich.

Even if he doesn't have many spirit stones on hand now.

But when he was in Foundation Establishment, considering refining natal magic treasures after forming a Golden Core, the resources related to mineral materials were not let the Luotian Association take out to deal with.

At this moment, comparing the material list of the Hunyuan Cauldron, he checked them one by one.

Five major main materials.

Geng gold, he has one piece.

Black sinking wood, missing.

Cold marrow, he has two bottles of ice soul cold marrow, which were given to him by the ruthless fairy on behalf of the Ice Fortress during the Golden Core ceremony. Not only can it satisfy the needs of water-attribute mineral materials, but it also contains ice attributes.

Fire spirit diamond, missing.

Tracing mud, he has three catties on him, which were traded from Fei Ming back then to treat Murong Qinglian's broken hand. However, treating Murong Qinglian only needed two taels of tracing mud, so after giving the other party four taels, there was still a lot left on him, enough to satisfy the needs of the Hunyuan Cauldron.

"So, in terms of main materials, I only lack black sinking wood and fire spirit diamond. In addition, the amount of Geng gold is a bit small, and I have to find a way to collect more."

"And in terms of auxiliary materials, although there are many types, with my years of accumulation, I actually don't lack much. The missing part can also be left to the Luotian Sect cultivators to pay attention to and collect."

"Heaven and earth treasures, wind, thunder, ice, darkness... I think it is to satisfy the missing parts of other attributes besides the five elements."

"I have accumulated a large amount of Tongxuan Heaven Crystal on me, which is a fourth-tier mineral material, which is extremely suitable for refining magic treasures, and can be counted as heaven material. Earth treasure... where do I go to find earth treasure."

The "heaven and earth treasures" recorded on the iron slip are naturally not common treasure resources.

It represents the literal meaning of "heaven material" and "earth treasure".

Tongxuan Heaven Crystal is a famous heaven material in the cultivation world.

It can integrate materials with different attributes, and let them communicate with each other,

Not only that, Tongxuan Heaven Crystal even has a trace of growth.

If you cast a natal magic treasure with this as the main material, you can increase the upper limit of the magic treasure!

Besides that, Tongxuan Heaven Crystal as a fourth-tier mineral material also has many wonderful uses.

Ventilating, melting things, absorbing spirits, removing dirt, etc.

It is precisely because of this that there is the saying of "Heaven Crystal".

Back then, Fei Changqiu of the Shen Gong Sect used a piece of Tongxuan Heaven Crystal as the price to persuade Tie Jian Tang Zuo Song to help him fight.

Finally, that piece of Tongxuan Heaven Crystal fell into Luo Chen's hands.

Over the years, Luo Chen has captured many spoils, and has also collected quite a few one after another.

"Let's take it one step at a time, at least in terms of thunder-type mineral materials, I have eighteen thousand-year thunder flowers. On this point, I can exceed ninety-nine percent of Golden Core cultivators."

The natal magic treasure blueprint is available.

Most auxiliary materials can also be collected.

As long as you collect all five main materials, you can refine them.

Other precious materials are just icing on the cake, raising the upper limit.

And!

If you want to cast the Hunyuan Cauldron, besides materials, you must also master several formations.

Otherwise, even if the materials are melted together, it is just a magic treasure embryo.

Regarding formations, Luo Chen plans to engrave them and give them to Min Longyu to study, and he will also study them himself.

Not only that, he also plans to find Duan Feng to learn the art of casting.

Even if it is just a rough introduction.

Otherwise, when using the withered glory fire to refine the magic treasure embryo, there will inevitably be big problems.

After some calculation.

Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh:

"There are many things!"

"This opening war is an opportunity for me, but it also consumes time, I only hope it ends as soon as possible."

For the opening war, Luo Chen does not ask for any Nascent Soul opportunities.

He only asks for a large third-tier spiritual vein.

It can be used as a place for cultivation, and also as a place for the Luotian Sect to live.

Luo Chen engraved the several formations needed to cast the Hunyuan Cauldron and gave them to Min Longyu to study.

He also went to Duan Feng to learn the art of casting simply.

With his current realm, entering a skill is actually very simple.

Or rather, for most high-level cultivators, starting from scratch to learn a popular cultivation skill, getting started is not a difficult thing.

The difficulty is just that talent is limited, and you can't go further and study deeper than those with talent.

Plus there is lifespan pressure, high-level cultivators often only practice one or two cultivation skills.

Luo Chen didn't think about having any great achievements in the casting path.

But the simplest processing of mineral materials and fusion characteristics still need to be understood.

For his needs, Duan Feng naturally would not refuse.

Not only did he teach everything he knew, but he also rubbed a copy of the various casting classics collected over the years and gave them to Luo Chen.

In addition.

Luo Chen also handed the list of various mineral materials he needed to Sima Huiniang, asking her to order the Luotian Sect cultivators to collect them as much as possible for him.

Even if you encounter something you can't buy, you must try to pay attention.

In this way, half a month passed in a flash.

This day.

On Danxia Peak, five great Golden Cores gathered!

The fifth Qi and Jiang Yu, who came together, and Cen Qiusheng, who led the Cen family cultivators, all focused their attention on the middle-aged man with a red face at the first moment.

Fu Jiusheng!

A rare rogue cultivator Golden Core in the cultivation world, from the Medicine King Domain.

He used to be a well-known herb gatherer.

The fifth Qi and Cen Qiusheng had seen him at Luo Chen's Golden Core ceremony before, and they had also reported their origins to each other.

Now that he appeared at the alliance site, what does it mean?

"Is Daoist Fu also going to join the Luotian Alliance?" The fifth Qi couldn't help asking.

Fu Jiusheng looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen did not shirk, and smiled freely: "Daoist Fu is now a guest of my Luotian Sect, so he naturally has a share in this alliance!"

As soon as these words came out, the fifth Qi, Jiang Yu, and Cen Qiusheng looked at each other.

This alliance, although it is based on Luo Chen, even the name of the alliance is crowned with "Luotian".

But they mostly wanted to use the name of Luo Chen, the master alchemist.

After all, the cultivation world still respects master alchemists.

When it comes to fighting, they will often give way three points.

Borrowing the name is one thing, but in terms of dominant position, the fifth Qi and the others still want to take a pinch.

But now, the Luotian Sect has an extra Golden Core guest, Fu Jiusheng, so it is on par with their Fengyu Villa.

This dominant position...

While they were hesitating, Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Why, don't the three of you welcome the joining of Daoist Fu?"

Thanks to the brother who has one piece left for the 100, 00 starting point coin reward, becoming the fourth alliance leader of this book!
