Chapter 529: True Flame Elixir, Blazing Heaven Seven-Fold Ring

When Luo Chen killed Yan Nantian and subdued the cultivators of the Flying Swallow Archipelago, it meant he would have a very long period of peaceful cultivation time.

In such a remote place, as long as there is no large-scale beast tide impact, or extreme natural disasters on the sea, a Jin Dan cultivator is enough to act recklessly and dominate as king.

Roughly speaking, it is equivalent to Pang Pang Renxiong coming west with a sword and suppressing Dahe Square back then.

The only difference is that the area and number of cultivators of the Flying Swallow Archipelago are far higher than Dahe Square, and the overall scale is only slightly inferior to Mount Tianlan Immortal City.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Chen took a fancy to this territory.

An area only slightly worse than Mount Tianlan Immortal City, and with a natural third-tier low-grade spiritual vein, is more than enough to support a Jin Dan early-stage cultivator.

Even if it is himself, who is comparable to a gold-swallowing beast!

After the Cheng family sent the first batch of medicinal materials, Luo Chen plunged into the work of refining True Flame Elixir.

This time, he still didn't use the huge amount of achievement points accumulated on the attribute panel.

After refining the fourth-tier Transformation Elixir, he was already evaluated as a "fourth-tier alchemist" on the panel.

Even if the fourth-tier elixir he mastered was only this one, with a solid alchemy foundation, this fourth-tier alchemist could be considered well-deserved.

Therefore, refining third-tier elixirs, for him, was actually not a very troublesome thing.

As long as you get started, everything is easy to talk about!

From arriving at the Flying Swallow Archipelago, then killing Yan Nantian, waiting for medicinal materials, a total of seven months had passed.

These seven months, Luo Chen basically put his spare time into the research of the True Flame Elixir formula, besides cultivation.

Now that the raw materials have arrived, he directly started practice.

"After peeling the Xuanguang Seed, the medicinal property preservation time is too short, prioritize refining."

"This Yan Flower, as the main material of True Flame Elixir, should be processed with the Burning Crane Hand!"

"Fire Ginseng is rare, only using Iron Rock Ginseng with high dryness to replace it, but in this way, the alchemy techniques involved have to be converted into three types."

For every medicinal material, when Luo Chen was processing it, his mind was floating with what alchemy techniques, what timing, and what fire heat should be used to refine it later.

Even if he hadn't really started refining, he had already simulated it thousands of times in his mind unknowingly.

By the time all this batch of medicinal materials was processed, a full month had passed.

Luo Chen was a bit dissatisfied; having no one to help process medicinal materials was just this troublesome!

But for now, it could only be like this.

After the medicinal materials were processed, he didn't stop and plunged into the refining work.

Once, twice, three times...

The complexity of refining third-tier elixirs is far greater than that of equal first-tier and second-tier ones.

Therefore, the refining time is also higher than the one or two hours in ordinary situations.

To refine a furnace of True Flame Elixir, according to Luo Chen's estimation, it would take at least a whole day!

This duration is even more than the fourth-tier Transformation Elixir.

No other reason, it is just that True Flame Elixir, in order to possess massive medicinal power, besides raw materials, after forming the elixir, it has to be "simmered" in the alchemy tripod with source True Fire for three full hours!

Only in this way will True Flame Elixir possess medicinal power far exceeding ordinary third-tier cultivation-type elixirs.

For this situation, Luo Chen had long been mentally prepared.

Alchemy is like a cultivator's cultivation; the higher the realm, the longer the time for one seclusion, and elixirs are the same; the higher the grade, the longer the refining time might be.

In the rumors, that "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir" which claims to "swallow one into the belly, directly ascend to the blue cloud sky," to get one furnace, requires a full four thousand nine hundred years to refine!

Of course, this is a mythical rumor, definitely not credible.

After all, there is no elixir that can make a mortal directly ascend to immortality, not to mention whether there is such great power, just the medicinal power contained in that kind of elixir is not something ordinary people can withstand.

But Luo Chen also knew very clearly that the higher the elixir grade, the more time it takes to refine.

When refining the Jin Dan formation elixir at Qingdan Valley before, it took at least three days, and at most five or six days.

And that was still the refining time without complete success.

The refining time of True Flame Elixir only needs one day, which is already very good.

"No wonder high-grade alchemists always have such high status."

"Not to mention how useful the refined elixirs are, just the fact that it consumes a lot of energy and time, delaying their own cultivation, is enough for major forces to give high-grade alchemists a noble status."

"But in this way, the number of existences that can finally have enough attainments on the peak of alchemy will probably become fewer and fewer."

One day, it doesn't seem like much.

But accumulating bit by bit, I don't know how many years will be delayed, and how much lifespan will be consumed.

This is just a third-tier elixir, what if it's Nascent Soul in the future? Soul Transformation?

In the vast Mountain Sea World, in ten thousand years, there has only been one existence known as the Alchemy Saint.

From this point of view, this delay is actually really affecting the improvement of high-grade alchemists in their realm.

"Perhaps, I have to find a way to hand over the work of processing raw materials to people below, so as not to waste more of my time."

"Have to choose a trustworthy one... actually, it doesn't need to be very trustworthy, as long as they are placed on Fairy Yaoyue Island, I monitor them at all times, and I'm not afraid of any tricks."

"In that case, it will be much easier."

Luo Chen changed his previous thoughts and still intended to organize a group of people to replace him in solving those cumbersome raw material processing tasks.

And the candidate for the leader is also very simple, just Cheng Cheng Haixin, who had just succeeded in Foundation Establishment, would do.

This woman's mind is simple, just like a blank sheet of paper, and can be painted by him at will.

As for those who help?

This is also not difficult; among the tens of thousands of cultivators and millions of mortals on the Flying Swallow Archipelago, picking a part of pharmacists, alchemists, or alchemy apprentices is definitely not a difficult task.

Perhaps some will be reluctant.

But as long as their work is linked to their contribution to Luo Chen, in this way, I think there will be no complaints.

Perhaps each family will be extremely eager to send people over.

After all, the more contribution, the earlier they can exchange for the "Senior Qingyang Dan Canon" on the stone tablet.

"Hmm, failed?"

Luo Chen muttered, he didn't expect this furnace of True Flame Elixir to fail.

Clearly, everything was done so perfectly before.

When cleaning up the medicinal dregs, he looked at the Hunyuan Tripod that had been burned red, revealing a thoughtful look.

"So that's it!"

"The refining of True Flame Elixir has two major difficulties. I only paid attention to the fusion of medicinal power before, but ignored the process of simmering the elixir with small fire."

"It seems to be just a simple ending, but it is actually a step of step-by-step, gathering and concentrating the medicinal power."

"I understand!"

With a sound of "I understand," a comfortable smile appeared on Luo Chen's face.

He had great confidence that the next time he refined True Flame Elixir, he would have a ninety percent success rate!

However, he didn't strike while the iron was hot and continue to open the furnace to refine elixirs.

Another day passed, and cultivation was delayed; this won't do.

With his current cultivation speed, delaying one day is a not-small loss, and Luo Chen can't bear it.

Elixirs are ultimately just auxiliary, and daily cultivation is the most critical link in the water-grinding work, and it must not be put before the cart.

Besides sitting in meditation for Qi refining, Luo Chen's cultivation arrangements were also full.

Body refining!

Quenching the Hunyuan Tripod.

Developing fire-type defensive magic techniques.

One by one, as long as there was time, Luo Chen never stopped.

And he also truly felt the solid feeling of steady progress in every plan.

Cultivation has the Heavenly Spirit Root speed brought by the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture."

In terms of body refining, after obtaining the blood food supplied by Cheng Cheng Haixin every month, the difficult body-refining speed finally slowly had gains. Although small, it was much better than before.

And the quenching work of the natal magic treasure Hunyuan Tripod, the results were becoming more and more obvious!

Especially after he started using the Hunyuan Tripod to refine True Flame Elixir in large batches, the Withered-Prosperous True Fire burning for a day at a time, and the contamination of a large amount of elixir Qi, the impurities of the Hunyuan Tripod were becoming fewer and fewer, and the connection with his mind was becoming more profound.

This just confirmed the situation that Tao Wan of Qingdan Valley told him back then, the Hunyuan Tripod can use alchemy to deepen the nourishment and refining!

For an alchemist, this is definitely the most suitable natal magic treasure, none other!

Luo Chen even felt that the day he could freely and easily drive the Hunyuan Tripod was not far away.

Finally, it was the research and development of fire-type defensive magic techniques, and Luo Chen already had a clue.

Back when he was in the Qi Refining stage, he had already cast a series of defensive magic techniques with embryonic forms such as Fire Shield Technique, Fire Ring Technique, etc., when researching the Fireball Technique.

Now, after a hundred years of accumulation, having read many magic technique classics, supplementing and perfecting them was not a difficult thing.

The only thing restricting him was probably that Luo Chen wanted to integrate the Withered-Prosperous True Fire into it.

The more he cultivated the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture," the more Luo Chen felt that there were many places he could develop and utilize for his source True Fire.

This fire is not limited to alchemy, refining, and body refining.

It can also be used in both offense and defense.

A few days later.

On Fairy Yaoyue Island.

The thick white mist suddenly scattered.

Layers upon layers of firelight scattered like ripples.

Looking closely, they were one after another fire snakes, head to tail connected, snake head holding snake tail, outlining a ring.

At a glance, there were three rings formed by three huge fire snakes.

The moment the three rings were formed, a strange power lingered in the void.

A high-grade flying sword came from above, drilled into the fire ring, and before passing through the first fire ring, it turned into a pool of molten iron and flowed to the ground.

Looking at this scene.

On the small island, Luo Chen revealed a satisfied smile.

This three-ring magic technique was exactly the fire-type defensive magic technique he had recently researched and slightly formed.

The foundation is the morphological change of the Fireball Technique, which is not difficult; he had already researched "Flying Fire Fireflies" in his early years, and now it was just changing into the shape of a fire snake.

Pure and overbearing spiritual power is the key to composition.

But the key that allowed this magic technique to initially possess a third-tier core after being researched was integrating the Withered-Prosperous True Fire.

Because of the Withered-Prosperous True Fire, this kind of fire snake ring can swallow or eliminate the spiritual power of the enemy's attack when blocking the enemy's attack.

If the enemy's weapon quality is not good, it will even be directly burned by this fire snake ring!

If it was just like this, that would be it.

Luo Chen felt that his magic technique still had many unfinished meanings.

Third-tier?

It seems not to be its end!

Looking at the blurred vocabulary slowly emerging in the magic technique column on the attribute panel.

Luo Chen thought for a moment and named it.

"Just call it Blazing Heaven Seven-Fold Ring!"

He did this for simplicity.

In the cultivation world, there was originally a fire-type defensive magic technique called "Blazing Heaven Seven-Fold Ring," but its grade was only at the second-tier level.

In terms of defensive ability, it was far inferior to "Glazed Sky Curtain."

Luo Chen had browsed the magic technique secret book of "Blazing Heaven Seven-Fold Ring" before, but had no intention of cultivating it; after all, he had already mastered "Glazed Sky Curtain" at that time, and there was no reason to abandon the near and seek the far.

Now, this self-researched defensive magic technique of his had a few shadows of "Blazing Heaven Seven-Fold Ring," so naming it this way was normal.

The only abnormal thing was probably that Luo Chen could only release three Withered-Prosperous Fire Snake Rings now!

"It's just getting started now, maybe when I brush up the proficiency, I can have a few more defensive fire rings."

"In addition, this technique can also integrate some other magic technique principles, maybe the grade can be promoted to the fourth-tier level!"

In terms of magic techniques, Luo Chen's confidence was even greater than in alchemy!

All along, he had considered himself to possess powerful magic technique talent; except for those whose grade was far higher than his realm, he had almost never used achievement points to get started with magic techniques.

If he could really create a fourth-tier magic technique by himself by absorbing all rivers and taking the strengths of others when he was in the Jin Dan stage, that would be a pioneering work for him.

It would be no less than creating "Ten Thousand Daos Converging" and "Micro-Dust Yuan Technique" back then.

However, the subsequent magic technique promotion work, Luo Chen was temporarily powerless.

With his accumulation, he could only walk to this step for now, and he had to read more books and practice more later.

The third-tier defensive magic technique is not enough for now, but if it is cultivated to the Great Perfection level, and there is Withered-Prosperous True Fire integrated into it, then it will be enough!

After it showed as "getting started" on the panel, Luo Chen was not in a hurry, and would slowly improve the proficiency later!

Fortunately, it is a defensive magic technique, and there is no need to find an open area to fully display it; it can be practiced on Fairy Yaoyue Island.

Turning around and entering the alchemy room.

Clang!

The Hunyuan Tripod landed, the gray tripod belly was no longer round, and slightly tightened by three points.

Although it was still chubby, it finally had a bit more majesty and solemnity.

A tripod is power!

Solemnity is its essence, how could it have a cute look.

After Luo Chen checked the Hunyuan Tripod, he started daily alchemy.

This time, he was determined to win!

"Seventh sister, has the list been decided?"

"It has been decided, the Xu family has the best relationship with us, so we gave them three spots. The other thirty-some forces were only given fifteen spots. However, I have already told them that if the people selected in the first batch perform poorly, they will be directly screened out and replaced by alchemists from other families."

Looking at the gentle woman sorting out the list, Cheng Dou revealed an excited expression and kept pacing in the flower hall.

In his mouth, he kept talking to himself.

"You did the right thing, neither offending the major forces too much nor failing to fulfill Demon Lord Senior Qingyang's requirements perfectly."

"I was still having a headache before, how to collect the contribution value of six thousand portions of True Flame Elixir raw materials without other families willing to pay a greater price. Now that there is this matter of helping to process medicinal materials, perhaps it can greatly shorten the time for me to exchange for the 'Senior Qingyang Dan Canon'."

"Seventh sister, when you get there, you can't just watch. You succeeded in Foundation Establishment at thirty-some years old, your talent is outstanding, needless to say. However, you have put all your energy into cultivation in the early years, and you don't have any special skills until now."

"We cultivators, after our realm is high, more or less will concurrently cultivate a skill."

"That Demon Lord Senior Qingyang didn't expect to be a powerful high-grade alchemist; take this opportunity, you can learn well from him. If you can get a true transmission, then my Cheng family..."

"If you can't be a concubine, being an apprentice is also quite good; anyway, it's all serving in front of the knees, near the water tower to get the moon first."

Seeing that her big brother's words were becoming more and more outrageous, Cheng Cheng Haixin couldn't help but have her face turn green and red.

What is "if you can't be a concubine, being an apprentice is also quite good"?

Her Cheng Cheng Haixin's talent, placed on the Flying Swallow Archipelago, is also first-class, how could it come to this?

"Big brother!"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Cheng Dou looked up blankly.

Cheng Cheng Haixin frowned, the words came to her lips, but she swallowed them back.

Forget it, why bother with her own big brother.

Even if they really quarreled, in the end, it would still be those arguments, nothing new.

She shook her head, stood up, and revealed a pair of long, slender legs.

"I'm going to Fairy Yaoyue Island, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the family side in the future."

Cheng Dou waved his hand, "Don't worry, although I am busy with the caravan side, there is Uncle Ji on the family side; he is old, and won't go to sea recently."

Cheng Cheng Haixin gave a "hmm," and walked out of the flower hall with her long legs.

Before long, an escaping light rose and flew toward Fairy Yaoyue Island.

As soon as she landed, more than a dozen voices came together.

"See Cheng Haixin Fairy!"

"See Senior Cheng!"

Cheng Cheng Haixin looked at this batch of people, there were white-haired old people, clever women, and young boys who hadn't worn crowns yet.

At this moment, all of them were respectfully saluting her.

Cheng Cheng Haixin knew that they were so respectful, not because of the gap in realm, but because she represented Demon Lord Senior Qingyang.

A subtle feeling emerged in her heart.

The woman pursed her lips and said softly: "Everything is ready, right, follow me to the island!"

While speaking, she flipped her wrist, and a Water-Splitting Thorn fell into her hand.

After spiritual power was injected, the Water-Splitting Thorn drilled into the lake surface.

The next moment, a blue dragon several feet long emerged, shaking its head and wagging its tail.

It was exactly the killing move of splitting water and transforming into a dragon contained in that pair of Water-Splitting Thorns bestowed by Luo Chen.

The woman jumped up and landed on the dragon head.

Under her signal, the others also landed on the dragon body one after another.

Then, under Cheng Cheng Haixin's control, this water dragon swam across the ten-mile flat lake and entered Fairy Yaoyue Island shrouded in white mist.

Bringing a group of people, they arrived at the pharmacy where medicinal materials were placed.

Before she could take the initiative to pay respects to Luo Chen.

She heard a burst of heartfelt joyful whistling from the alchemy room next door.

"What's going on?"

Just as a group of people were surprised.

Luo Chen, dressed in a wide, casual white robe, walked over from the alchemy room next door, with a smile on his face.

"You're here!"

"I see the Superior." Cheng Cheng Haixin bowed gracefully, looking at Luo Chen's excited face, and asked along: "The Superior is so happy, could it be that the alchemy was successful?"

Luo Chen grinned, "Haha, Cheng Haixin has a transparent and exquisite heart. That's right, this seat successfully refined the third-tier True Flame Elixir today. Such a happy event, it should be worth a big drink!"

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Cheng Haixin hadn't reacted yet, but the group of people behind her all revealed expressions of shock.

Third-tier elixir!

This Demon Lord Senior Qingyang in the rumors is actually really a third-tier alchemist!

Cheng Cheng Haixin herself had no understanding of alchemy, and didn't know the gold content, so she just followed her heart and said: "If there is good wine, it should naturally be matched with good dishes. I will order someone to prepare delicacies to celebrate for the Superior."

"Haha, Cheng Haixin has heart."

Luo Chen laughed heartily, and then waved his sleeves.

"No rush for a moment, let me see how this group of people's technology is."

While speaking, he beckoned with his hand.

Immediately, a large pile of medicinal materials flew out from the medicine shelf in the pharmacy.

These medicinal materials, as if they had spirituality, all flew in front of those eighteen people.

Luo Chen restrained his smile and said seriously: "Next, you process the medicinal materials for me on the spot, and I will tell you the corresponding achievement standards in advance. If anyone fails to meet the standard..."

Luo Chen didn't say the subsequent words to death.

But the others were not fools; if they really didn't meet the standard, eight or nine out of ten would be kicked out of Fairy Yaoyue Island, losing the opportunity to earn contribution for the family.

For a time, the pharmacy fell into a hot and busy state.

Eighteen people, all of whom were famous figures on the Flying Swallow Archipelago, basically all the skills they learned were related to alchemy.

At this moment, they all took out special tools from their storage bags, as well as corresponding auxiliary materials, to process medicinal materials.

Fortunately, what Luo Chen gave were the lowest first-tier medicinal materials, and they were common medicinal materials, so processing was not difficult.

Time passed slowly.

Gradually, people finished one after another.

Those who finished stood aside uneasily.

The remaining ones accelerated their speed.

Half an hour later, Luo Chen stood in front of those eighteen portions of medicinal materials and checked them one by one.

"The appearance is not bad, up to standard."

"Up to standard."

"It's okay."

"The fire heat processing is not in place, this medicinal material is already scrapped. You..." Luo Chen glanced at the gorgeously dressed middle-aged man and shook his head.

The man's face turned snow-white instantly.

"Demon Lord, I am a first-tier alchemist, I can refine medium-grade Condensing Water Elixir, I am very powerful."

Luo Chen frowned; he wanted talent to help, just knowing how to process medicinal materials was enough.

Alchemist?

Too lazy to talk to him, he gave Cheng Cheng Haixin a look, and the other party immediately stepped forward to deal with this person.

Luo Chen's footsteps moved slightly, and he looked all the way down.

Most of them were still qualified, only two failed, and both of these two happened to have the identity of first-tier alchemists.

"It seems that these small forces are trying to send alchemists to steal the art!"

Luo Chen smiled dumbly.

Most of the alchemists cultivated by these families started refining elixirs directly, and the medicinal materials used were also processed, so naturally, they didn't have relevant talents.

Failure was a matter of course.

Luo Chen's footsteps finally stopped in front of a young boy with red lips and white teeth.

He looked down at that medicinal material, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

"This Golden Branch, it seems to have failed, but it has some medicinal properties retained, a strange processing method."

"What is your name?"

The young boy's teeth were chattering as he said: "My name is Xu Xu Muxian, I am a collateral branch of the Xu family, proficient in medicinal material processing, and I can also refine Grain-Grain Grain Bigu Powder and Five-Grain Pills."

Grain-Grain Grain Bigu Powder and Five-Grain Pills are unranked elixirs, not very strange.

However, at the age of fifteen or sixteen or seventeen, while being proficient in medicinal material processing, he could also refine two kinds of elixir pills, which was already quite extraordinary.

"Can you answer me, what method did you use to process this Golden Branch?"

Xu Xu Muxian hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to answer: "I used Red Rock Liquid to soak it, but I miscalculated its quality, so it failed."

Red Rock Liquid, fire-attribute spirit liquid, is generally formed after magma in submarine volcanoes and submarine spirit springs fuse.

Using fire to overcome metal, not only understanding the method of the Five Elements overcoming each other, but also boldly applying it.

He is a good seedling.

Luo Chen looked deeply at the young boy, "You stay."

Xu Xu Muxian, who had originally given up hope, heard these three words, and a look of extreme surprise appeared in his eyes.

Luo Chen walked back to Cheng Cheng Haixin's side, "Most people have no problem, just add two more later. At that time, you don't need to trouble me, just let this person help check it."

Cheng Cheng Haixin nodded, "Qi Lao is indeed very powerful, and he is also famous on the Flying Swallow Archipelago."

Luo Chen gave a "hmm," and walked out of the pharmacy on his own.

Cheng Cheng Haixin instructed the group of people when to work, and then followed Luo Chen closely.

Looking at her back leaving, the young boy Xu Xu Muxian in the crowd revealed an envious expression.

When he was leaving Fairy Yaoyue Island on a small boat with the crowd, Qi Lao suddenly grabbed the young boy's arm.

"Qi Lao?"

"You kid, your fortune has arrived, that Demon Lord looked at you differently, maybe he will pass on one or two alchemy arts to you in the future."

Xu Xu Muxian asked half-believingly: "Really?"

Qi Lao smiled kindly: "Is this fake, we process those medicinal materials, all rely on experience, it is a formed method. But you have a different style, although you failed, you revealed spirituality. These big figures, sometimes they just like seedlings with spirituality."

"But, I am only at the second level of Qi Refining, can I really enter the Demon Lord's eyes?" Xu Xu Muxian was still a bit unconfident.

Qi Lao shook his head, "Don't worry too much, in that person's eyes, there is no difference between us Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining. As long as you do things steadily in the future, there will be a day of success."

At the end, he added a sentence.

"If you have any questions, you can come to ask me first."

Looking at the young boy's ignorant and happy appearance, Qi Lao couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

It is said that Xu Xu Muxian was not very well-treated in the Xu family.

Clearly having the talent of an alchemist, but no one supported him in refining elixirs, and he could only rub some inferior Grain-Grain Grain Bigu Powder and Five-Grain Pills to make a living.

Today, let's do a good deed and form a good relationship!

If this young boy is really favored by Demon Lord Senior Qingyang in the future, then his bet today might be able to benefit the descendants of the Qi family.

In the cultivation world, big figures have the way of big figures, and small figures have the struggle of small figures.

Luo Chen didn't know that his momentary thought would bring what kind of life encounter to a young boy.

He only knew that he was very hot now!

In the bedroom, Luo Chen's face was as red as a cooked big lobster, and strands of heat were escaping from the top of his head.

Inside his body, a low-grade True Flame Elixir was being refined, releasing medicinal power.

The medicinal power was massive, like a flame flow impacting the strange meridians and eight vessels, orifice membranes, and flesh and blood.

The sound of bubbling, but it was like a river rushing.

Stimulated, even the Qi Sea had a slight churning.

After a long while, Luo Chen finally slowly opened his eyes, and a stream of heat was slowly spat out from his mouth.

"Worthy of True Flame Elixir!"

"What massive medicinal power, what overbearing medicinal property!"

In his eyes, besides joy and praise, there was also a trace of lingering fear.

The reason for yesterday's poor state was found!

It turned out to be a cold.

Woke up today with a sore throat, runny nose... I said why I was listless yesterday.

Knowing the cause is easy to handle, next take medicine on time, updates will not fall behind, thank you for everyone's understanding and support
