Chapter 479: War!

"So it's the Starry Pill!"

In the cave dwelling.

The two sat side by side and soon entered the topic.

Luo Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I recently obtained this pill formula. Although I occasionally succeed, the steps are too cumbersome when refining, and it often takes two days to refine one furnace."

"Two days a furnace?" Meng Changshou looked at Luo Chen in surprise. "Do you know that this is already very fast? If it were in our Medicine King Sect, an experienced Tier 3 alchemist would need three days to barely refine a furnace. Even so, one must be fully focused, which damages the cultivation state."

Luo Chen also showed a surprised expression.

But in his heart, it was calm.

He deliberately revealed his alchemy attainments to attract the other party's attention.

Now it seems that the effect is not bad.

"You should describe the problem in detail; I have a lot of say regarding the refining of the Starry Pill."

Luo Chen had no objections and immediately stated some details.

At the end, he added: "I want to simplify the refining process, but I don't know where to start. Do you have any suggestions, Fellow Daoist?"

After listening to Luo Chen's problem.

Meng Changshou had no surprises; the Starry Pill was an outdated pill formula that had already been eliminated in the Medicine King Sect.

They had all experienced the problems that would be encountered.

Now that Luo Chen said it, he quickly found a solution.

"Actually, it's not difficult; it's just that your thinking is still limited to the alchemy habits of low realms."

"Alchemy habits?"

Luo Chen was stunned.

Meng Changshou stroked his beard and smiled: "In low realms, spiritual sense is shallow, so alchemists often process materials one by one when refining pills. Over time, this habit was formed."

"But we Core Formation cultivators have powerful spiritual sense, tough and long-lasting. We can already process several materials at the same time."

"You just need to pick out the medicinal herbs with similar habits and classify them, and then use similar alchemy techniques to process them at the same time."

"In this way, can't you simplify the refining process and improve efficiency?"

Luo Chen listened to these words in a daze.

At this moment, he actually felt a sense of enlightenment, as if the sky had opened.

So, it only needed to be that simple?

Thinking about it carefully, the materials required for the Starry Pill are extremely cumbersome, but if you pick them out by category, they are actually just five major categories.

These five categories can basically be processed separately with one or two alchemy techniques.

After waking up, Luo Chen stood up sincerely and bowed: "Thank you for the pointer, Fellow Daoist!"

Meng Changshou waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's just some common sense things, you don't have to be so polite."

Luo Chen sighed: "For alchemists like you who have formal sect inheritance, it is common sense, but for me, I don't know how much groping I have to go through to summarize such a shallow truth."

Most things in the world are like this.

It looks very difficult, but it may only be separated by a thin film.

Those who have pointers from sect elders can poke through it with a casual touch.

But those who grope on their own may have to experience hundreds of failures before they can find a taste.

After Luo Chen sat down again, Meng Changshou asked about the thing he cared about most.

"On the day Qing Danzi of the Green Elixir Valley presided over the refining of the Infant Formation Pill, with the great formation as the core, thirty experienced Tier 2 alchemists as the foundation, and supplemented by the natal true fire of you five Tier 3 alchemists. Such a lineup was already foolproof, but why did it fail after thirteen refining attempts? Can you describe the specific details and reasons for the failure to me in detail?"

"In my opinion, it is estimated that the raw liquid of the basic medicinal herbs came from different people's hands, leading to the final failure of fusion."

Luo Chen gave his own judgment.

He had always thought so.

However, this judgment was denied by Meng Changshou on the spot.

He shook his head and said: "The Qing Dan Great Formation is a long-standing combined refining formation of the Green Elixir Valley. Even if it comes from different alchemists, the raw liquid of the medicinal herbs can achieve the same goal by different paths. It won't be the reason for the failure!"

Luo Chen was stunned.

He had also entered the Qing Dan Great Formation, but he didn't have this feeling!

And, how does Meng Changshou know the Qing Dan Great Formation so well?

And!

After a slight recollection, just now he casually said the number of alchemists who built the Qing Dan Great Formation, and even the number of failures, he knew like the back of his hand.

That feeling was as if he was in the Green Elixir Valley watching it himself at that time!

Suddenly.

Luo Chen thought of one person.

"Could Xuan Yunzi be a spy planted by the Medicine King Sect in the Green Elixir Valley!"

After this thought emerged, Luo Chen noticed that Meng Changshou was still looking at him eagerly.

He collected his thoughts and began to recall the details of refining the Infant Formation Pill back then carefully.

Finally, his thoughts stayed on the last failure, the moment of the furnace explosion.

He hesitated and said: "The reason for the alchemy fire?"

Meng Changshou frowned, "Is it Qing Danzi's natal alchemy fire, or the natal true fire refined by you five?"

Luo Chen pursed his lips and confirmed even more: "Both! The combined power of the five of us formed a fire power that was too strong, and the alchemy fire refined by Qing Danzi was not of high enough grade. This led to the lack of distinction between primary and secondary, and even the guest taking over the host, which led to the end of alchemy failure and furnace explosion backlash."

"Is that so?"

Meng Changshou muttered, falling into deep thought.

While thinking, wisps of flames would occasionally emerge from his hands, as if experimenting with something.

Luo Chen glanced from the corner of his eye, not knowing what kind of strange fire the golden flame was.

He only felt that it was quite pure.

Even if the grade was not higher than his Withering-Glory Fire, the degree of flexible control was far above his.

"It seems that I am still far behind in the mastery of natal true fire, and I have only mastered the fur." Luo Chen thought to himself.

The atmosphere in the cave dwelling fell into silence.

Only the sound of flames crackling, occasionally accompanied by one or two murmurs.

A long while later.

Meng Changshou woke up from his deep thought.

In his eyes, there was a bit of thoughtfulness.

He looked up at Luo Chen, who was thinking with a jade slip in his hand, and coughed lightly.

Luo Chen put down the jade slip and smiled: "Have you figured it out, Fellow Daoist?"

"I have some ideas, but..." Meng Changshou smiled, "Without mastering the alchemy combined refining formation of the Qing Dan Great Formation, I don't know if my ideas are correct or not. Of course, regardless, what you said just now is still very enlightening to me."

"It's useful." Luo Chen nodded and tapped his finger on the jade slip.

Meng Changshou looked at the jade slip and asked casually: "Worried about the upcoming opening war?"

"Hmm, a headless fly, no direction." Luo Chen nodded and said helplessly: "No way, the strength on my side is too weak, almost no choice. I don't know if you can give some suggestions?"

"Suggestions?"

Meng Changshou laughed, "What suggestions can there be, do you still want to compete with those orthodox major Core Formation sects?"

Luo Chen was also very helpless.

He knew that what the other party said was the truth.

But, can it really only be like this?

When he was confused, Meng Changshou suddenly said: "Actually, why do you have to abandon the small and seek the big? These Tier 3 spiritual veins that everyone looks down on, although small, are indeed Tier 3 in grade; isn't it enough to just conquer a few more?"

Luo Chen was confused: "The opening alliance agreement stipulates that one sect only takes one place; what is the significance of doing that, is it to make wedding clothes for others?"

Meng Changshou laughed heartily.

"Have you never heard of the saying that immortals move mountains and fill the sea?"

One month later!

Broken Moon Immortal City.

Countless escape lights rushed straight into the sky and flew toward the depths of the Xiaoyue Mountain Range.

Large top-grade flying boats crisscrossed, with sharp cultivators standing on them, ready for battle.

There were ten behemoths exceeding a hundred zhang, spanning the sky, flying in different directions amidst rumbling sounds.

The opening war has begun!

With the momentum of thunder, conquer Xiaoyue!

On the Red Flame Dragon Boat.

The five Core Formation masters gathered together.

Luo Chen was the leader, and the other four stood in pairs.

Between them was a huge map, printed out and displayed using Luo Chen's Water Mirror Technique.

On the map, there were shining red dots.

Each red dot meant an attack target of a sect.

Some targets even had multiple red dots, but multiple red dots superimposed.

This means that the spiritual land was favored by several major sects together.

They would attack together when the time comes.

As for who it belongs to after it is conquered, this is not in Luo Chen's focus.

What he is focusing on now is three big mountains.

Huimeng Ridge, Tieqing Mountain, Xuelang Ping!

"Dan Chenzi, do you really want to do this?" Diwu Qi couldn't help but ask.

Luo Chen raised his eyelids, "It was already decided before, now that it's at the critical moment, how can there be any hesitation?"

Diwu Qi worried: "But the other two spiritual mountains have also been favored by others!"

"As long as we conquer it one step ahead, it will be ours." Luo Chen said lightly.

Jiang Yu on the side asked coldly: "What about the Falling Cloud Sect's accountability? Occupying three places alone is a violation of the alliance agreement."

Luo Chen pointed his finger at Xuelang Ping, "When the time comes, just move the other two big mountains over; isn't it just one spiritual land then?"

Moving mountains!

This is Luo Chen's strategy in this battle.

With Meng Changshou's pointer, all the confusion was solved.

In the cultivation world, there have been sayings of man-made spiritual lands or transformed spiritual lands since ancient times.

Many immortal cities are man-made and Tier 3 spiritual lands that have been upgraded.

And transforming spiritual lands?

Back then, the Green Elixir Valley was only a mountain land!

But now, everyone knows that the Green Elixir Valley has five Tier 3 spiritual mountains.

The change lies in the fact that the predecessors of the Green Elixir Valley, during the opening war, used great means to forcibly move the spiritual mountains distributed in other places.

Such a spiritual land is not a man-made spiritual land, but retains the feng shui pattern and spiritual vein energy.

As long as it is well-nourished later, its spiritual energy concentration will not be worse than that of a naturally grown spiritual vein land.

Luo Chen's current strategy is to conquer a small Tier 3 spiritual mountain as much as possible.

Then, with the momentum of thunder, invade others' targets and occupy the spiritual land.

Finally, move them over and gather them together!

Even, if there is a chance, he can get a few more spiritual mountains.

As for how to move mountains when the time comes?

Meng Changshou told him the means after Luo Chen paid the pill formulas for Tier 1 Tongyou Pill and Tier 1 Burning Blood Pill as a reward.

So!

There is only one thing to do next.

"Must be fast!"

"Must be faster than others, conquer Xuelang Ping. Use this as a foundation to seize other spiritual mountains!"

Luo Chen slapped the map and made the final decision.

The other four looked at each other, even though they had psychological preparations, they were still shocked by Luo Chen's spirit.

Under this shock, no one opposed in the end.

Whether it was for the spiritual mountain or the Starry Pill that Luo Chen provided normally.

This battle must be fought!

The Red Flame Dragon Boat's flight speed was not fast, and where it passed, the war was already spreading.

I don't know how that Proud Howling Wolf Emperor did it, actually integrating the wolves of the Xiaoyue Mountain Range into one force.

Even, in recent information, they found that the number of Tier 3 demon wolves inside the wolf clan is increasing, as if the other wolf clans in the million wild mountains are also gathering toward this place.

It is precisely because of this.

Not long after leaving Broken Moon Immortal City, human cultivators began to encounter small wolf troops.

For this, they didn't stop.

Even if they encountered demon wolf attacks on the Red Flame Dragon Boat, the five Core Formation masters didn't make a move, but handed it all to Wang Yuan, Cen Guangyi, and others.

Now the number of Luo Tian Alliance cultivators entrenched on the Red Flame Dragon Boat is as high as three thousand!

There are as many as thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As long as they don't encounter a large number of enemies, where they pass, there is no obstruction.

Luo Chen's spiritual sense was released, paying attention to another direction not far away.

That was a cultivation family force going to Huimeng Ridge, the He family of the Motian Domain, with only one Core Formation master in the clan.

The Motian Cliff, a Nascent Soul sect in the Motian Domain, participated in the war, and many forces in the domain also participated.

Except for forces at the level of major Core Formation sects, there are quite a few first-class cultivation families like the He family.

"They are all here to pick up leaks!"

Luo Chen muttered.

Soon, news came from Diwu Qi's side.

"The one going to Tieqing Mountain is the Wanxiang Sect; they have two Core Formation masters and have a high probability of conquering Tieqing Mountain."

Luo Chen nodded.

In this way, the two spiritual mountains closest to Xuelang Ping and the forces that have ideas about them are clarified.

These two families are not strong, so they want to pick soft persimmons.

But the number of demon wolves entrenched on Huimeng Ridge and Tieqing Mountain is only weaker relative to those large Tier 3 spiritual veins.

To conquer it, these two families must spend some effort.

"Our speed is still slow."

"Full speed ahead!"

Luo Chen gave an order.

Fu Jiusheng, who was in charge of the Red Flame Dragon Boat, responded, mobilized the dragon boat formation, and the speed suddenly increased by three points.

Early morning of the next day.

The huge dragon boat stopped outside a green mountain.

The green mountains are continuous, mostly low, only one is abrupt.

There is a wide flat ground on it, as if cut by a sword.

"Is this Xuelang Ping?"

Luo Chen walked out of the crowd, stood at the bow of the boat, and stood in the wind.

In the sky, snowflakes were drifting down.

Looking into the distance, one could even see snow-capped mountains looming a thousand miles away.

Here, it is almost bordering the Great Snow Mountain.

Retracting his gaze, Luo Chen looked at Xuelang Ping.

At this moment, sturdy demon wolves were walking out of the mountains slowly.

At a glance, among the undulating mountains, there are countless demon wolves, and the demon energy is soaring!

The leader is the three giant demon wolves on Xuelang Ping.

The fur is snow-white, and the eyes are green.

The body size is as high as seven or eight zhang!

Especially the one in the middle, the body size has exceeded ten zhang, like a small mountain.

Looking at the giant demon wolf like a behemoth, the thousands of human cultivators on the Red Flame Dragon Boat couldn't help but subconsciously swallow their saliva, and the sound was so clear.

Tier 3 mid-stage demon wolf!

The wind whistled, and couldn't cover the low roar of the demon wolves between the mountains.

Everyone knows that this will be a bitter battle!

Pairs of eyes, at a certain moment, tacitly stared at Luo Chen.

The young man in a large red Daoist robe slowly raised his right hand.

Two words were spit out heavily from his mouth.

"War!"
