In the alchemy room, there was silence and no fire. A slender figure sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. He controlled his emotions and calmed down his thoughts bit by bit.

Thirty years is neither long nor short, but when you count them carefully, there are many things worth talking about.

Mr. Chen himself lives in the medicine house. He is indifferent to the years, and his eyes and eyebrows still look like a teenager. It makes people exclaim that he has grasped the essence of alchemy and has achieved freedom.

The matter of Lu Zhu has always been a concern in his mind. The effect of the Turtle and Snake Longevity Pill has been exhausted, so he has to find other ways to achieve immortality.

But after exhausting all means, the number of three hundred is already the limit. The method of the Phoenix Coffin is full of mysteries. It is not the true path to immortality, so there is little hope.

Youye has shown signs of old age, from youth to middle age, and then to old age, which makes him see a trace of Qi Luo's shadow.

Both of them have excellent talents, but they both lack a little opportunity. Although they are not second-level alchemists, they are also conscientious and handle the complicated and trivial matters in the medicine house. They are called "stewards."

As Elder Yaolu, he felt a little sad and regretful about this person.

Shang Qu, who was of the same generation as Youye, was in a different situation. He was in charge of logistics and elixir supply strategies. He was caught and rushed over, breaking free from the shackles and becoming the second second-level alchemist in Yaolu.

Everyone knows that Shang Qu will become the second Chen Sheng and will expand the prestige and authority of Yaolu step by step.

And if nothing unexpected happened, this should have belonged to Zhou Huang.

All we can say is that fate is full of twists and turns, and even a cultivator cannot control the future.

Perhaps, Chen Ergou is the most amazing person of this era.

He took action several times during the chaos in the border areas and fought with the top people. Even though the opponents were hundreds of years older than him, he was beaten so hard that they vomited blood.

His cultivation level has been rising steadily and he has already reached the late Golden Core Realm. His talent and potential are astonishing.

His contemporaries are all bleak, and except for Mr. Chen, they have all turned into the dust of history.

That’s right, after Zhao Tianyang, Wu Taisheng and Liu Shao also passed away. The former left behind a Taoist tradition and had great prestige in the inner sect, while the latter had an instant enlightenment and passed away safely. Both of them can be said to have lived a long and happy life.

…

The trajectories of life flowed through Chen Sheng's mind and gradually dissipated. He exuded a sense of stability from the inside out.

“Boom…”

Then.

He started to circulate the health-preserving meridians in his body, and a desire came from his dantian. Countless spiritual energy from heaven and earth roared in from all directions and poured into his mouth, nose and acupoints.

His mind was like water, calm and peaceful. He refined the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and let it flow through his meridians, slowly like a fish entering a lake and returning to his dantian.

In the Dantian, the weather was changing ever-changing, with thick clouds floating above. As the magic power increased, it continued to accumulate, and after reaching a limit, heavy rain began to fall.

The liquid mana below began to boil, and its edges expanded outward, showing signs of taking off.

Mr. Chen is breaking through the barriers in the late stage of foundation building.

It couldn't be called difficult, as he knew he was not a cultivator with exceptional talents, nor was he used to taking risks. He liked to accumulate great momentum and then crush others.

The advantage is on my side, and I will live long and prosper, so why bother fighting for just a day or a night?

“Buzz…”

In the alchemy room, the sitting figure exuded a lively rhythm, resonating and responding with the spiritual energy of the entire virtual sky.

His aura continued to rise, like a water level that had piled up very high, and then it was released, pouring down, unstoppable.

Halfway through, the bottleneck of the late Foundation Establishment Stage appeared, but it seemed as if it had not appeared.

In the Dantian, magic power was surging and whistling. That kind of majestic foundation, accumulated for dozens of years, burst out in one day.

The invisible barrier above Chen Sheng's head was broken, and a powerful aura, extremely vigorous, went one step further and explored the next realm.

"It's the late stage of foundation building..."

He opened his eyes, without any feeling of sadness or joy. It was normal to break through. After years of hard work, the bottleneck of his cultivation had long become fragile. When the time came, he could break through in an instant with just a thought.

After half an incense stick of time, he had almost completely suppressed his aura and called out, "Is Youye here?"

He is not a busy man, but today two important things happened at the same time.

"Elder, I'm here."

Outside the door stood an old man with gray hair and a slightly hunched body. His eyes seemed to be closed, but when he heard the call, he responded immediately.

"Come in."

As soon as Chen Sheng had a thought, the restrictions in the alchemy room disappeared and the door opened.

You Ye walked in and saw that Chen Sheng was emitting a strong and condensed aura. He said happily, "Congratulations, Elder, your cultivation has made great progress."

This is the leader of their medicine house. The higher his cultivation level, the more stable the medicine house is. Naturally, he is happy.

"Having just broken through to the late stage of foundation building at this age, there is nothing to be proud of."

Chen Sheng shook his head. Like the deceased Wu Taisheng, they all had the cultivation base in the late stage of foundation building. He was just lucky and was favored by time, so he had the opportunity to advance to the peak of the immortal path.

"This state of mind is the most rare. I admire it very much and use it to encourage myself."

You Ye saw this but had a different opinion. This leader was respected because of his alchemy skills on the one hand and his indifferent state of mind on the other.

He does not fight or compete, but he is the most prominent one in the outer sect, surpassing countless peers who are competing with him.

Everyone in Yaolu gained insights from it, and learned how to stabilize their Tao hearts, how to be indifferent, and how to hone themselves towards becoming a great master of the Tao of Alchemy.

"You have done a great job. Although the border areas are in turmoil, Yaolu is thriving, and this is partly due to your efforts."

Mr. Chen has a positive attitude towards You Ye. In recent years, he has seldom interfered in external affairs and let You Ye handle them. The other party has done a very good job and handled all matters in an orderly manner.

"It's the elders who are in charge!"

You Ye denied it. At best, he was just a paperhanger. The success of the pharmacy was all thanks to the leader.

Although this person is not moving, he just sits there and has the power to make everything follow the rules.

Everyone was in awe, and with him watching from the side, even the most ambitious alchemists had to pay attention.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. How about what I told you to do?"

Mr. Chen waved his hand. He did not try to persuade his men with any sweet talk, but they still took him seriously.

Although this respect was very good, it made him feel more alienated.

Like...

Mortals look up to gods like they are gods, and they think too highly of them, which results in a lack of closeness between them.

"The raw materials for the Turtle Snake Longevity Pill and the Small Sacred Grass Pill are all here."

Youye was rigorous and serious in his work. He did not neglect anything that Chen Sheng asked him to do and completed it perfectly.

Yes, it was something that was ordered ten years ago, and based on the experience from last time, he would feel that it was wrong if it was done poorly again.

"Who in the Qi Refining Realm can make the elders worry about him?"

Of these two spiritual herbs, the Turtle Snake Longevity Pill was naturally prepared for Elder Luzhu, but as for the other one, he was a little confused.

But I haven’t heard that the elder has any old friends who are at the Qi Refining stage.

"I'm going to make the elixir, you wait outside."

Mr. Chen took the storage bag containing the spiritual herbs and went out without going out, as he had to go back to work.

You Ye bowed and left, and the entire alchemy room became quiet again.

"I should be the best among all the alchemists at making longevity pills."

Mr. Chen made a joke, although he was laughing, he did not show too much joy. This was not something to brag about. Only people with a short life span would need the longevity elixir.

In the middle, where there was smoke and fire, a rainbow trout stove was placed. Under Chen Sheng's urging, it turned from cold to hot. The raging fire burned in its belly, and the fire was shining at the mouth of the stove, and the smoke was like fog.

As soon as Chen Sheng had a thought, the spiritual herbs for the Turtle and Snake Longevity Pill were put into the alchemy furnace one by one.

He did not pour them all in at once, nor did he pick the spiritual herbs one by one. Instead, he chose those with similar fire resistance and refined them together.

Sizzle...

The fire of the elixir was warm and as calm as the sea, holding up the spiritual herbs and allowing their essence to condense. Its shape first turned brown without a trace of moisture, and then with a crackling sound, it broke into pieces and fell onto the flames, being burned into ash that floated away.

And at the original position of the spiritual grass, there was a small ball of spiritual grass essence left, without a trace of impurities, like amber and beautiful jade.

Add medicine, refine medicine, and repeat the cycle over and over again.

Until the raw materials of the Turtle and Snake Longevity Pill were all refined, they were like stars, floating up and down in the fiery furnace like heaven and earth.

"fall!"

As Chen Sheng's mind moved, the herbal liquids in the furnace shifted one after another. Three or five balls fell down and then merged one by one. The whole process was extremely peaceful.

Obviously, Mr. Chen is very skilled in refining the Turtle Snake Longevity Pill. He has a deep understanding of the pharmacology and will not provoke any fierce feedback.

After ten breaths, the integration of three or five kinds of pharmacology was completed, and he made another move to bring down the spiritual herbal liquid floating above.

Thus, a new round of changes began.

The whole process is extremely boring and a bit thrilling, and no one can guarantee success.

A small mistake, if not corrected, will lead to all previous efforts being wasted.

Fortunately, no accidents happened.

“Buzz…”

The medicinal properties of various prescriptions were melted into one furnace, and a precious pill suddenly burst into brilliance under the warmth of the furnace fire. A strong pill aura broke through the furnace cover and lingered in a cloud of auspicious mist that lingered for a long time.

Chen Sheng looked calm. He flicked his hand and the Turtle Snake Longevity Pill at the bottom of the furnace flew out and landed on the prepared jade bottle, which was sealed on the spot.

After doing all this, he did not stop, but started again to refine the Little Holy Grass Pill.

"call……"

The furnace was warm, and it was very easy to light the fire. After a while, there was flames rising into the sky again, illuminating the entire room.

All kinds of spiritual herbs were penetrated, burned into shapes, and then lingered around in all directions, forming the shape of pills.

Mr. Chen's face was very calm. The firelight shone on his face, as if it was filled with rosy clouds. His eyes, in the darkness, were full of color and possessed a unique charm.

The refining of the Small Holy Grass Pill was not difficult at all. He did it with ease, and over time, it gradually moved towards perfection.

“Buzz…”

After a while, which Chen Sheng felt was not a very long time, he saw the furnace cover flying up and a stream of elixir energy rushing out. Its appearance was not as good as that of the Turtle and Snake Longevity Pill, but it was also beautiful and colorful.

He took the Small Holy Grass Pill and stood up. Finally, he no longer had to be trapped in the alchemy room.

"clatter……"

The door was wide open and footsteps were heard coming from far away.

As Youye looked over, he saw a slender figure approaching, with flowing robes and a strong and rich elixir fragrance that could not be ignored.

He cupped his hands in admiration and said, "The elder's alchemy skills are becoming more and more advanced."

The strange phenomenon in the alchemy room has spread to the outside. The two furnaces of longevity pills, from high-level to low-level, have all been perfect, which can be said to be an extraordinary method.

"then."

Chen Sheng's face was indifferent. He raised his hand and placed a small holy grass pill in a clear jade bottle in front of Youye.

"Elder, what is this?"

You Ye's heart was shocked. He was still wondering which Qi Refining Realm cultivator could win the favor of the elders and take the trouble to refine the elixir.

After going around in a circle, it landed on him, and he felt a great surprise and disbelief.

"It's okay to be considerate of your subordinates."

Mr. Chen joked.

You Ye did a good job and made some contributions, but he will not be able to devote his energy to handling internal affairs during the next period of time.

From the current perspective, it is still Youye who has to do the job, and it is not time for him to step down.

"No, it's my pleasure."

A small holy grass pill was extremely precious, and the importance contained in it made You Ye so excited that he almost couldn't control himself.

I would go through fire and water and never give up.

These words rolled around in his heart. He knew that he had followed the right person, and he worked harder and harder, just for the gratitude he received.

…

Medicine house.

"Thirty years."

Chen Sheng came over and saw Lu Zhu standing in front of a dead plant. She looked a little depressed. He leaned in and listened. It was the lonely voice. He smiled and said, "Don't you think I'm old?"

Heaven is cruel and takes away people’s life span.

Time flows like water.

Luzhu is a worldly person and it is normal for her to feel confused, but he still wants her to be happier and less depressed.

"He is not old at all, he is extremely handsome, elegant and graceful, he has the demeanor of a great man of his generation."

When she saw Chen Sheng, Luzhu's depressed mood suddenly dissipated. Her gentle eyes fell on him and she looked at him carefully. The more she looked, the happier she became.

That look, that demeanor, that figure, everything exudes a mysterious and profound charm.

"Hahaha……"

Mr. Chen smiled. If he lay dormant for twenty or thirty thousand years, he might be able to accomplish something earth-shattering and be regarded as great in the eyes of the world. However, he was still a little short of that now.

Lu Zhu said this because her lover sees beauty in everything.

"Don't laugh."

Luzhu felt a little embarrassed. She really felt that Chen Sheng was a first-rate figure, and was not inferior to the genius leader of the Immortal Sect.

"I have refined another Turtle Snake Longevity Pill, which should be able to add a few more years to your life."

Mr. Chen teased and did not continue talking. Instead, he flipped his hand and presented the Turtle Snake Longevity Pill he had just refined.

"I'm sorry to bother you again."

Luzhu's eyes suddenly became dark, and she murmured, "I'm not afraid of death, I just crave the joy of the world."

With a beloved by your side, the path to immortality has lost its due glory.

"Don't think too much."

Mr. Chen held her in his arms, and they were silent, enjoying this final tranquility.
