Chapter 442 Snow Mountain

In the quiet room of the cabin, which is as warm as spring.

Luo Chen took the materials that had been processed in advance from He Lianyun one by one.

Each ingredient is basically configured with enough portions for more than ten times.

And most of them are of extremely high quality!

It can be seen that in order to refine the Mingyuan Pill, He Lianyun and others did not cut corners.

However, even so, Luo Chen still found many shortcomings.

"Why weren't the red crystal dates peeled in advance?"

"Well, after peeling, won't the medicinal properties be lost?"

"Who told you? This medicinal material has extremely strong medicinal properties. If it is not peeled in advance and allowed to release part of its medicinal power, it cannot be used to make elixirs."

"Ah, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, give me some time to process it. It will take three to five days for the medicine to evaporate to a suitable level."

"Huh? This cold star grass..."

"what happened again?"

"Alas, are the alchemists of your Lianyun Business Alliance only of this level? They can't even handle the Cold Star Grass. Forget it, just keep everything and I'll process it again one by one."

He Lianyun handed the storage bag filled with medicinal materials to Luo Chen and left the room with a depressed look.

Come on deck.

Fu Jiusheng looked over at him.

"What's wrong?"

He Lianyun said in a buzzing voice: "Luo Chen was not satisfied with the medicinal materials I collected. He said that several of them were not processed properly. But I obviously asked people to process them according to the most standard method on the market. I doubt it. Luo Chen is deliberately trying to find fault."

"Oh, that's right!" Fu Jiusheng responded casually.

Seeing Fu Jiusheng's usual look, He Lianyun was a little confused.

"Didn't he deliberately find fault?"

Fu Jiusheng smiled and explained: "I don't blame you. It's really possible that Luo Chen didn't mean to find fault. I know many powerful sect alchemists. Even if they refine the same elixir, they need the same medicinal materials, but the specific processing They all have different standards.”

After hearing this explanation, Helian Yun became even more confused.

"For the same elixir, shouldn't the proportions and standards of medicinal materials be the same?"

"No no no..."

Fu Jiusheng shook his head, "This has something to do with the level of the alchemist. If the alchemy is strong enough and the medicinal properties are too strong, they can also use alchemy to weaken them. And if the medicinal properties are low, they can also make up for it through other means. . If it comes to the actual refining process, it also depends on the alchemist's mastery of a certain alchemy. If the level of a certain alchemy is too low, they will give up on the alchemy that requires a higher level. Medicinal materials, using medicinal materials that are better processed by other alchemy techniques..."

The more he talked, the more complicated it became.

Helian Yun felt a little dizzy.

He waved his hand quickly, "Stop it, stop it, you want to say that all this is related to the alchemist's own level and habits, right?"

Fu Jiusheng smiled and nodded slightly.

He Lianyun exhaled, "Okay, just pretend that Luo Chen didn't mean to cause trouble."

Fu Jiusheng, on the other hand, had a hint of doubt under his smiling red face.

"Luo Chen probably has never personally experimented with the refining of the Ming Yuan Pill before. After all, he lacks the main materials."

"But why can he accurately understand the corresponding standards required for each medicinal material?"

He Lianyun didn't know his doubts.

Looking at the scenery like cloud shadows flying upside down outside the flying boat, his face straightened.

"Fellow Daoist Fu, now that we've reached this point, it's time to tell us our true destination!"

…

Inside the cabin.

Luo Chen simply processed various medicinal materials according to his own habits, and then put them away.

Yes, just simple processing.

The medicinal materials prepared by He Lianyun are actually very complete.

Based on his solid alchemy skills, these medicinal materials can be used as medicine at any time.

He was so picky, but he actually wanted to covet some of the extra medicinal materials.

Regarding the research on the Mingyuan Pill recipe, Luo Chen has hardly stopped in the past six years.

The final result is that there is no result.

After all, it is an elixir-forming formula from the Holy Land Sect, and it has also been deduced by the God Transformation Power.

At his current level, he can no longer go any further.

But where there were no big results, he found another way and tried to simplify the recipe.

Don’t ask for better, but ask for worse!

No matter how bad it is, it is still a third-level elixir recipe, and it is also an elixir recipe related to pill formation.

If a new elixir recipe could be simplified, even if it was less effective than the Ming Yuan Dan and the original Ming Hai Dan, it would be a great gain for Luo Chen.

In that way, he can try to refine it himself, or take it internally, or sell it to the outside world, or use it as an opportunity to make friends with other sects and develop contacts.

Of course, the latter two are too dangerous.

Luo Chen mainly wanted to deduce a relatively suitable elixir that could be taken by himself and the Luo Tianhui monks.

Just succeed!

After that, the monks of the Luo Tianhui will form elixirs, and they will no longer be stuck by the big sects.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Chen needs more medicinal materials related to the original recipe.

Even his current state is not enough to support him in simplifying the Mingyuan Pill recipe.

When he reaches a higher level in the future, he might be able to complete this work.

Cultivation is never about looking at the present moment.

After collecting various medicinal materials, only the complete Jialan Lei flower was left in front of Luo Chen.

Crystal clear, with blue arcs flashing from time to time.

"Bai Ye, the God of Transformation, is a great master of thunder."

"Almost all the heritage resources in his palace are related to thunder attributes."

"Could it be that after a cultivator advances to the God of Transformation, he will specialize in a certain system? So much so that even many things in life are related to that system?"

He carefully put away the Jialan Thunder Flower.

In this way, the three main materials needed to refine the Nether Yuan Pill have been gathered, Tianshan Huiyang Water and Jialan Thunder Flower.

Only the Nine-Striped Snake Saliva Fruit is missing.

And that thing...

Luo Chen looked at the cabin with a deep gaze.

Those deep eyes seemed to look through the cabin wall and look towards the distant snow-capped mountains.

"Fu Jiusheng is too cautious!"

"I used the Water Mirror Danxiang technique to track him before. He was clearly heading to the far east, but the real Nine-Striped Snake Saliva Fruit is in the Great Snow Mountain next to it."

"The other three are also hiding something. Xiao Sanren seems to be still at the ninth level of foundation building, but from my observation, his external spiritual power fluctuations are too stable, I am afraid that he has already reached the perfect realm."

"Helian Yun has not changed much, but he has been in charge of the Lianyun Business Alliance for many years, and he must have many cards in his hand, and he should not be underestimated."

"Madam Yousha seems to be the weakest, but I always feel that she is hiding something."

Since deciding to cooperate with these four people.

Luo Tianhui has never stopped investigating their intelligence.

Knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle.

Even though Luo Chen has faced stronger enemies than them and experienced bigger battles, he is alone outside and should be careful.

...

The flying boat moves forward.

It bypasses densely populated areas and flies in deep and secluded places.

It only takes half a month.

Five figures gathered together in a dense forest.

Fu Jiusheng looked at everyone, especially Luo Chen who was collecting the flying boat.

"The Snow Mountain is ahead!"

"The Snow Mountain is just a general term. It is actually a huge mountain range that stretches for more than 100,000 miles. There is continuous snow on it, and there are countless famous mountains and peaks. There are also countless low-level monsters, most of which are monsters of ice, snow, water and soil. In addition to countless low-level monsters, second-level and third-level monsters also often appear. There is even a fourth-level monster king named White Bone Mysterious Snake living there."

Hearing his introduction, several people looked normal.

These common senses are basically very well understood by all cultivators who are close to the millions of mountains in the East Wilderness.

Fu Jiusheng paused and continued, "And what we are going to is a spiritual place that I named Wanmang Cave."

Wanmang Cave?

As soon as this name came out, everyone frowned slightly.

Just by listening to the name, you know that there are probably many monsters like pythons gathered inside.

"The Nine-striped Snake Saliva Fruit is a spiritual object that is created from the saliva of snakes in a place where a large number of snow pythons live."

"But there are many types of snow pythons in the world, and only the saliva of the Seven-ringed Snow Python can cultivate the Nine-striped Snake Saliva Fruit."

When the name of the Seven-ringed Snow Python was revealed, everyone's faces changed, including Luo Chen's.

Everyone knows that the Seven-ringed Snow Python is one of the bloodlines of the White-bone Black Snake.

Fu Jiusheng actually set his sights on this kind of monster!

As for why pythons are the descendants of snakes?

There is no need to be serious about this kind of question, which is not something that they, the foundation-building cultivators, can figure out.

However, how can they not change color when they are enemies with this kind of monster that is at least the third level?

Fu Jiusheng looked at them, "Are you scared?"

"How can we not be afraid? If it is just a third-level monster, it's fine. A monster like this living in groups must be the strongest beast king among the third-level monsters." Xiao Sanren was terrified. A beast king would make him retreat.

Helian Yun smiled bitterly, "Daoyou Fu, why didn't you explain it in advance? At least, let us have some coping methods!"

Fu Jiusheng's face showed a cold sneer.

He mentioned the snow python before, and he didn't believe that these people didn't have the corresponding preparation.

Sweeping his eyes over the crowd, he said coldly: "If anyone is afraid, they can withdraw now."

Several people looked at each other, but no one threatened to withdraw.

What a joke, after years of planning, who would stop at this point?

A young voice suddenly came out from the crowd.

It was Luo Chen!

"I want to know, since there is a third-level beast king and it is a place where seven-ring snow pythons live together, how can you create a quiet alchemy environment for me?"

This question goes straight to the core.

Fu Jiusheng's expression slowed down, "Very good, since no one will withdraw, at least the hearts are still united. As for Daoyou Danchenzi's concerns, I can also answer one or two."

In his explanation, everyone also understood why he dared to lead people to snatch food from the tiger's mouth even though he knew there was a third-level beast king.

It turned out that the place where the nine-striped snake saliva fruit grew was not in the core area of ​​the Ten Thousand Pythons Cave.

As the king of the tribe, the third-level seven-ring snow python could not always take care of a spiritual plant.

Therefore, it only arranged a few second-level snow pythons to monitor and take care of it.

"I have a relatively safe route to enter the Ten Thousand Pythons Cave."

"After arriving there, kill the guarding snow pythons, and then I will set up an illusion array, which is enough to buy enough time and environment for Dan Chenzi."

For monsters with relatively low intelligence.

The effect of the illusion array is often better than that of the offensive and defensive array.

However, the eyes of several people looking at Fu Jiusheng were a little more surprised.

No one expected that this person was actually a formation master.

"Okay, there's no point in talking more."

"Everyone, take a rest first, and then quietly enter the Snowy Mountains!"

"This is a long journey, and there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents. Let's try our best to stay in good condition."

After saying that, Fu Jiusheng found a big tree and immediately sat cross-legged to meditate.

Several other people saw this and did the same.

Especially Madam Yousha and Xiao Sanren, who were responsible for driving the airship and monitoring the outside world along the way, were in worse condition.

Luo Chen was in excellent condition.

I flew to the top of the mountain alone and looked at the rolling snow-capped mountains not far away, with a thoughtful look in my eyes.

Occasionally, he would look back in the other direction.

That's where the Tianshan Mountains are, which is where the Ice Castle Sect is.

The two are less than a thousand miles apart.

For high-level monks, it is just a matter of seconds.

During his time in Ice Castle, especially in the last half year, he often heard that Ice Castle disciples would go into the mountains to hunt and obtain resources.

Occasionally, there will be a tide of beasts from the snowy mountains that attack the ice castle.

But here comes the problem.

With such a close distance, isn't Ice Castle afraid that the fourth-order Beast King White Bone Black Snake from the Snowy Mountains will attack and destroy it easily?

The higher the realm of immortal cultivators, the greater the gap in strength.

The fourth-level Beast King is comparable to the real Yuanying!

If the White Bone Black Snake were to attack, the Ice Castle might not be able to withstand it for even a moment.

So, where did Ice Castle get the courage to choose the sect’s headquarters in such a dangerous place?

Just as he was thinking about this problem, the four people in the woods had almost adjusted their breathing.

"Dan Chenzi, it's time to set off!"

"Come right away!"

Luo Chen replied, suppressing the doubts in his heart, and with a movement of his body, he flew in front of several people.

Fu Jiusheng saw that everyone was here, and everyone seemed to be full of energy and in good condition.

A big wave of his hand.

"Let's go!"

The five figures restrained their auras and flew into the rolling snow-capped mountains using simple wind control techniques.

…

It is completely different from the rumors of the Snowy Mountains, which are barren of grass and covered with ice and snow.

The deeper they went into the ice and snow, the more extraordinary Luo Chen and the other five people felt.

Even if there is not much green grass, there are many spiritual trees and vegetation growing abundantly.

Moreover, the closer you get to some of the snowy peaks, the more vigorous the aura you can feel.

"Tsk, tsk, this snow-capped mountain doesn't seem too surprising, but it is actually a natural third-level spiritual land! If Jindan monks occupy this mountain, they can start a sect. Even if they don't establish a sect, they can use it as a place for personal cultivation. Excellent!”

Looking at the small snow-capped mountain that was only a few hundred feet high dozens of miles away, Xiao Sanren clicked his tongue in wonder. There was even a hint of greed in his eyes.

However, his fantasy was directly shattered by Fu Jiusheng.

"Forget it!"

"Among the millions of mountains in the Eastern Wasteland, there are countless natural third-level and fourth-level spiritual lands. Do you think they are so easy to invade?"

"These are all owned lands!"

Xiao Sanren curled his lips, but could not refute.

This is the way of the world. Regardless of whether it is the wild mountains, the land of the four seas, or the world of immortal cultivation in the Five Continents, all high-level spiritual lands usually have owners.

Either they are occupied by high-level monsters, or they are occupied by the Shangzong Holy Land.

Where is their turn to practice casually?

He Lianyun also looked at the small snow mountain with envy, "If we, the casual cultivators, want to occupy a spiritual land like this, it will be impossible for us to rely on our own strength in our lifetime. Only when the human monks initiate the opening up In the event of war, only by completely conquering a huge mountain range and turning it into a realm of cultivation can you practice peace of mind in it."

His words were recognized by everyone.

This is basically how the human race's world of cultivating immortals was created.

Like the Jade Cauldron Domain where they lived more than four hundred years ago, it was also a barbaric place where monsters were entrenched.

At that time, it was still called the Lianxia Mountains.

However, the Lianxia Mountain Range is inconspicuous among the millions of mountains in the Eastern Wasteland, and the resources within it can only be regarded as average.

In comparison, it is much worse than Daxue Mountain.

"I don't know which giant mountain range the Luoyun Sect is going to open up in this open war?"

"It should be the Guyuan Mountains! That is the most familiar territory for monks from the Jade Cauldron Domain."

"It's hard to say that the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has always been dissatisfied that the Jade Cauldron Domain is too small and the number of monks is too large. In recent years, not only have monks been sent in and out of the Guyuan Mountains, but they have also opened Dahefang, Taishanfang and many other markets in nearby places. They will Are you willing to give up the Guyuan Mountains that you have managed for a long time to the Luoyun Sect?"

"It can't be the Xiaoyue Mountain Range! It is said that the Xiaoyue Mountain Range is much more dangerous, and most of the demonic beast groups in it are wolves. This is a hard nut that the Luoyun Sect will not be able to crack down."

"Haha, monsters are reckless and unwise. No matter how powerful they are, Luo Yun Sect has gathered the power of several sects, and with the Mingyuan Sect as its backer, as long as they are determined, they will definitely be able to defeat them!"

"If we all succeed in forming elixirs, maybe we can form an alliance to establish a large golden elixir sect, and then occupy a third-level spiritual land for cultivation during the opening war?"

"Fellow Taoist, you think too far, but it is indeed a good suggestion."

On the boring journey.

While the five of them were on guard against the surroundings, they chatted about interesting things from time to time to cheer up their spirits.

After all, flying cautiously for a long time in the vast white sky is also a burden for the monk's soul.

The small snow mountain with the third-order spiritual veins had been left behind two days ago.

Along the way, many scattered spiritual places appeared.

First-order, second-order, small, and large.

There are several third-order spiritual lands.

In one of the third-order spiritual lands, the spiritual energy is surging to the extreme.

Even if they are thousands of miles away, everyone can feel its power from the vast snow-capped mountains that tower into the clouds.

A large third-order spiritual land!

There must be a third-order spiritual vein that stretches for thousands of miles.

This kind of power is difficult to feel in the human cultivation world.

Because the sects in the human cultivation world often use various secret techniques, spells, and even large formations to confine the spiritual land, and must not let too much spiritual energy leak out.

Only in this undeveloped wild mountain can you feel this pure and unscrupulous spiritual land that vents its surging vitality.

Of course!

This kind of spiritual environment without any confinement also gave birth to countless wild monsters in this area.

Along the way, even though this route into the mountain was the safe route mentioned by Fu Jiusheng, they still encountered many low-level monsters.

One day.

Xiao Sanren, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, what's wrong?" Fu Jiusheng asked.

Xiao Sanren looked gloomy, "Are you sure this road is a safe route?"

Fu Jiusheng was puzzled, but when he flew to the front, his face became worse.

"Strange! Why is there a group of snowy owls here? I remember that when I came here three years ago, there were no such monsters on this route!"

Xiao Sanren retreated slightly.

"This is not the key, the key is, how should we go next?"

Fu Jiusheng was in trouble.

Helian Yun suggested, "Take a detour?"

"Absolutely not!" Fu Jiusheng said solemnly, "There is a group of ice wolves living nearby, and there is even a third-level wolf king among them. Taking a detour is a way to seek death. Moreover, taking a detour wastes too much time. If we miss the ripening time of the Nine-striped Snake Saliva Fruit, then we will have made this trip in vain."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Helian Yun asked.

Fu Jiusheng looked at the four people, gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Let's force our way in!"

"After all, it's just a group of first-level horizontal snow owls. We will be quick and won't cause any big trouble."

Before entering the mountain, they had already discussed it.

During the journey, all decisions were made by Fu Jiusheng, an experienced herbalist. The other four people could question and suggest, but the final decision still depended on him.

At this moment, he made the decision to force his way in.

In this case, there was nothing to say.

Luo Chen was in the center of the five people, in the safest protection position.

Seeing the four people taking out their weapons, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

After taking Tongyou Pill for a long time, his current soul foundation has completely surpassed the foundation-building stage, so he can see more things.

The enemy is not just the horizontally spotted snow owl!

However, he said nothing.

It's just right, I can take this opportunity to see what these people are doing.
