"no!"

Venerable Kuchai interrupted immediately. He turned his head and looked at the young man behind him, his eyes full of warning.

"I am just informing you, not asking for your consent."

The young man had a cold look in his eyes and a circle of black mist appeared around him. His body gradually dissipated under the influence of the mist.

"Things are not as simple as you see. Dao Zong has his responsibilities as a Dao Zong as well."

"I only see that the Dao Sect is high and mighty, blocking the path to immortality. Our lives are as cheap as ants. In this environment, even if we reincarnate a hundred times or a thousand times, we have no chance of becoming immortals. The path to immortality should go against the current. Those who follow the current are ordinary people, and those who go against the current become immortals. Anyone who blocks my path to immortality can be killed."

The black gas dissipated, and the young man's figure disappeared into thin air.

The Venerable Ku Chai put down the axe in his hand, and his expression became even more bitter. He had noticed the unrest in the Star Gate a long time ago. On the surface, the crisis of the Star Gate started with the Ascendants causing trouble. But Ku Chai knew that it was just an appearance.

The real root of the disaster was planted a long time ago.

This vortex has already begun since the Sun, Moon, and Star ancestors of the Star Gate decided to sacrifice and refine the immortal weapon. There is a group of people secretly fanning the flames, and the man in green robes is the representative of this group of people. Venerable Ku Chai has no way to stop these people, not only because of his strength, but also because of his identity.

Because the man in green robe is his biological brother from the same mother.

Down the mountain.

There was a rugged path by the lake, with low bushes on both sides. A large black rat half a man's height sat beside a dead tree stump, yawning in boredom.

Gray gas condensed and a human figure appeared out of thin air.

The big black rat jumped up with a start, and a black light flashed in his hands, and suddenly two huge machetes appeared. After seeing the appearance of the person who came clearly, he put the machetes back.

"How about it?"

"Let's go."

The man in green robe turned around and looked at the lonely mountain behind the mountain.

The lonely mountain was a sea of ​​orange under the setting sun, crows were flying among the mountains, and the cold wind blew up the hem of his clothes.

He remembered that a long time ago, they brothers depended on each other and ventured into the world of immortal cultivation together. At that time, they were both very weak and could be hunted for half a year just for a piece of Ning Shen Grass. They grew up in escape and improved in fighting. The two brothers fled and robbed all the way.

Until later, no one dared to chase them.

The two brothers became the ancestors among the independent cultivators, and they had many followers around them. Just when they thought they could continue to fight, someone from Dao Sect came down.

A woman.

It was the first time that Kuzhu encountered such a terrifying person, and it was also the first time that he noticed Dao Zong's existence.

Compared to the Dao Sect monks, these casual cultivators are like ants struggling in the mud. In the eyes of Dao Sect monks, the previous looting and fighting are like the fight between ants. Before you touch their roots, these people will not pay attention to you at all. But once you touch that line, those people standing on the clouds will come down and press these ants that jump out of the boundary to death.

That time, Kuzhu experienced what despair was. He also saw the barrier of the immortal world. At the end of the immortal road, there was a wall.

Someone cut off this road, and Dao Zong was the root cause of cutting off this road.

After that battle, the two brothers took different paths because of their different philosophies.

"Didn't agree?"

"He can't possibly agree to that."

"It's a pity that Venerable Kuchai is a powerful person in the Return to Void Realm. If he is willing to join us, the subsequent plans will be much smoother." The big black rat looked regretful. What they were going to do was too dangerous, and they had to recruit as many people as possible to join them.

"Hurry up, I'll kill his apprentice. By the time he reacts, it won't be easy for the two of us to leave."

When he thought of this, the man in green robe was annoyed. His original plan was not to come and see the Kuchai Master directly. Instead, he wanted to control his apprentice first and then use him as a bargaining chip for negotiation. But the boy didn't know how he practiced. He was as weak as paper. He died before he could even use any strength. This also completely disrupted the man in green robe's subsequent plans.

A cold wind blew by, blowing up the dead leaves on the ground.

The two people who were talking here just now disappeared into the forest like shadows, leaving only the flying dead leaves, which were carried towards the sky by the cold wind.

Chen Luo returned to the Ancient God Sect.

The task of collecting Bailingshi Tea and Heiyeshihua was assigned to Yuwen Ling and Ding Jian. He had recruited these two people to save trouble and avoid doing everything himself. He also took note of the people who attacked him in the tea mountain, and planned to repay them when he had the chance.

Half a month later.

The flower-backed turtle returned to the mountain with the first batch of spiritual materials.

Chen Luo can finally try to practice the path he found from the Dao Stone. The power in the Dao Stone given to him by the Painted Skin Demon is for body refining, which is very different from the Dao Stone in Xingyun's hand.

After completing the arrangement, Chen Luo announced that he would go into seclusion and sealed off the entire mountain with a formation. With the strength of Zhang Xi and Ling Dong, it was absolutely impossible for them to break through the formation. The people of the Ancient God Sect didn't have to worry about it. With the title of the disciple of the Kuchai Venerable, no one would bother him. Even if there was a mandatory task assigned by the sect, Ling Dong, Zhang Xi and the other four would help him complete it.

A huge alchemy furnace appeared under the waterfall.

The three huge tripod legs hit the ground with a muffled sound. The heat from the furnace spread outward like a gust of air. The water vapor from the waterfall next to it quickly vaporized under the influence of this heat wave and turned into a large amount of water vapor.

This alchemy furnace was looted by Chen Luo in the name of Elder Lu at the Star Gate. During the time in the Cave Heaven Gourd, the aura of the huge alchemy furnace and his alchemy furnace in the lower world blended, and there were signs of merging. After noticing this, Chen Luo personally took action and used Ouyang Lian's brain refining knowledge to melt the two alchemy furnaces into one.

Now the elixir energy on the alchemy furnace is almost tangible, and the alchemy furnace itself has a hint of spirituality.

Although it is not a spiritual weapon, it has already surpassed the level of ordinary magical tools and can be considered a good secret treasure.

Bang.

The lid of the alchemy furnace flew up, and a strong medicinal fragrance flew out of the furnace mouth in a translucent state, drifting everywhere. If it weren't for the blockade of the formation, this breath would definitely spread to the entire mountain and alarm the ancient god sect's incarnation cultivators.

'Heat the stove with high heat, add Bailingshi tea, and add Tripterygium wilfordii juice.'

'The medicinal gas is in the form of a ball, dark brown in color, add black leaf stone flowers, and turn to low heat.'

The medicine boy's brain quickly emerged, and the complex fire control technique flashed in his brain. He pinched his fingers with one hand, and a green spiritual fire appeared under the furnace. Under the influence of the "Transformation True Method", the space inside the furnace quickly changed to wood and fire attributes, and in just a moment, the spiritual materials thrown into the furnace by Chen Luo were burned into gas.

Control fire and refine medicine.

There were no mistakes in every process, as if it had been repeated thousands of times.

Half a day later, the spell was turned again, and the flame inside the furnace changed from orange-red to light blue. The white spirit stone tea and the black leaf stone flower were both refined into gas, one white and one black, rotating in the furnace like two little dragons, half on each side, without affecting each other.

"Almost."

Chen Luo stopped what he was doing, reached into his sleeve, took out a wooden puppet with a stiff expression, and tapped its forehead with his index finger. The puppet quickly became active, sitting cross-legged in Chen Luo's original position, and used fire control techniques to add spiritual power to the alchemy furnace.

Using puppets to make elixirs was something Chen Luo had planned a long time ago.

He stood up and walked to the alchemy furnace.

laugh.

A burst of white smoke rose up and the lid of the alchemy furnace flew up.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Chen Luo jumped lightly and jumped directly into the alchemy furnace.

In this batch of pills, he himself is the main ingredient!

That is to say, there is no one here. If there were other people, they would definitely be shocked. Because this is no longer a method that a normal alchemist would use. Whether it is a puppet alchemy or refining oneself, it has nothing to do with a regular alchemist.

Chen Luo’s method of refining elixirs has always been very strange.

He combined the strengths of all schools of thought and took his own evil path.

As soon as he entered the furnace, Chen Luo felt a terrifying heat wave. The temperature inside the furnace was far beyond the limit of what ordinary people could bear. Immortal cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage would be burned into gas in a short time after entering the furnace. Although Chen Luo was in the middle stage of the Spiritualization stage, he still felt a sense of danger in the furnace, and his skin on the surface was visibly cracked.

'Physical training.'

Sitting cross-legged in the center, Chen Luo opened his mouth and swallowed the "black and white qi" rotating around the alchemy furnace. His spiritual power circulated, and his dry skin recovered quickly, and the power in his body and the external heat energy formed a balance.

Bang!

The furnace cover fell down, and the temperature around him began to rise sharply. The puppet outside began to control the fire according to the method set by Chen Luo. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Chen Luo also left the cave gourd outside. With the protection of the gourd's spirit, if there was a problem, the gourd could help him break the furnace in the shortest time.

Inside the closed alchemy furnace, the airflow turned into a circle, pressing towards Chen Luo in the middle from all directions.

The gas produced by the burning of Bailingshi Tea and Heiyeshihua spun in his body, and his external brain quickly became active. All the magic skills he had practiced before were called upon at this moment. The Heart Demon Art was located in the center, and under the control of Brother Changqing, it turned into a black human figure sitting cross-legged.

The three seals of Killing Seal, Soul Seal and Origin Seal gathered in his hands.

The actors, the old fox and other brains also called up the unconventional magical powers, such as the sorrow formula, the joy formula, the Yin thunder spell, etc. that were thrown into the corner by Chen Luo. All these auras were swallowed by the black and white qi transformed by the white spirit stone tea and the black leaf stone flower, and they rotated and gathered at the position of the dantian.

Between his hands, the swirling aura was getting closer and closer.

Boom!

The alchemy furnace trembled again, and the wooden puppet outside changed its spell, transforming the gentle fire into a strong fire.

The temperature inside the furnace rose visibly, and the clothes outside were burned to ashes. A layer of earthy yellow spiritual power escaped from the surface of the skin. Under the high temperature of the furnace, this layer of earthy yellow spiritual power was infinitely compressed and merged with the body bit by bit. The medicinal power in the body was also affected, and the speed of rotation became faster, and finally compressed into a point, turning into a gray seed.

A green sprout emerged from the black spot in the palm of the hand.

Something that Chen Luo had almost completely forgotten suddenly appeared and ate the seed like a little snake.

Half a root.

This hairy root was a gift from Chen Luo's teacher in Yue State before he passed away. Later, because of this thing, Chen Luo was chased by Ning Chenye and escaped with the help of a large whale in the sea. Chen Luo still hasn't figured out the origin of this thing. In his body refining plan this time, there was no hairy root, but he didn't expect this thing to appear at the last minute.

After eating the seeds, the green sprouts grew further, and white beards spread from the dead tail, turning into a small sapling, taking root in the location of Chen Luo's dantian.

The tip of the tree broke through the shell and two bean sprout-like leaves grew out. (End of this chapter)
