Dan Dao, also known as the Way of Alchemy, is considered a grand path in the myriad realms of existence.
In the Primordial Chaos, the Three Pure Ones of the Xuanmen, Yuan Shi Tian Zun was skilled in techniques, Tong Tian Jiao Zhu was adept at formations, and Lao Tzu, the Primordial One, excelled in Dan Dao.
Although the disciples of his Human Dao sect were few, his mastery of the Nine Revolutions Grand Returning Elixir made countless immortals and deities flock to him, willingly serving his every command!
“My Dan Dao realm is Divine Ninth Rank. Refining spirit elixirs is effortless for me.”
“Right now, I only have 50-year-old spirit herbs…”
With a wave of his hand, Luo Chen activated his Enlightenment ability, transforming all 500,000 medicinal herbs in his storage space into 50-year-old ones.
Of course, even with 50-year-old spirit herbs, he couldn't refine higher-level Divine Elixirs.
As the saying goes, even the most skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients. With these herbs, it would be a remarkable feat to even refine a spirit elixir.
This was Luo Chen's first time refining elixirs, not for himself. It was both a way to build up his resources and an opportunity to hone his Dan Dao.
His martial arts cultivation had already reached its peak, needless to say.
His Immortal Dao, however, was only at the Returning Void Immortal Realm. He could absorb the essence of the sun and moon to steadily improve his cultivation, but once he reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he would need to absorb vast amounts of spiritual energy, preferably celestial spiritual energy, which Earth could not provide.
Dan Dao was crucial!
“This time, I managed to set up the spirit formation thanks to Na Lan Yan Ran, Yue Bu Qun, Xiao Dong Xie, and Da Mi Mi.”
Luo Chen had not forgotten that the jade stones he used to set up the spirit formation were purchased on credit.
【Luo Chen】：“I’m about to begin refining elixirs. I’ve selected three Spirit Fourth Rank elixirs from the 《Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica·Celestial Spirit Chapter》, all suitable for consumption before ascension, whether you’re a martial artist or a cultivator from a fantasy world.”
【Luo Chen】：“The three spirit elixirs are the Peiyuan Elixir for boosting cultivation, the Yangshen Elixir for strengthening the soul, and the Lianxue Elixir for strengthening the blood and flesh. Any objections, my esteemed creditors?”
【Yue Bu Qun】：“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. We wouldn’t call ourselves creditors, how could we, when Luo Shen is bestowing these elixirs upon us? I wish to forge an ironclad army. I would like to request some Lianxue Elixirs and Peiyuan Elixirs. I wonder how many I could exchange for? (Nervously)(Nervously)(Nervously)”
【Da Mi Mi】：“You’re already refining elixirs? Luo Shen Da Da, long live! I also want Lianxue Elixirs and Peiyuan Elixirs. I have immortal peaches to improve my cultivation, but the elixirs are for the elders of the Dragon Nation Summit. Hopefully, we can create an army of martial artists!”
【Na Lan Yan Ran】：“Finally, I get to witness the greatness of the Da Lao’s Dan Dao? I'm so excited! I want all three elixirs! (Starry eyes)(Starry eyes)(Starry eyes)”
【Call Me Xiao Dong Xie】：“Luo Shen Da Lao, I would like to trade for more elixirs.”
【Bi Bi Dong】：“+1.”
【Bai Yuan】：“+1.”
【Luo Chen】：“If that’s the case, I’ll refine an equal amount of all three elixirs.”
【Luo Chen】：“@Da Mi Mi, Yue Bu Qun, Na Lan Yan Ran, you three contributed the jade stones, so you'll get a discount on this first batch.”
【Luo Chen】：“The remaining elixirs will be placed in the points shop for free exchange.”
【Luo Chen】：“@Bai Yuan, what are you getting excited about? Take good care of the spirit herb garden.”
…
The three elixirs Luo Chen had selected were designed to comprehensively enhance individuals.
Apart from the Yangshen Elixir, which wasn’t mandatory for martial arts cultivation, the rest were universally applicable.
“Da Xia is still in its rebuilding phase, facing numerous challenges. Once the elixirs are refined, I can donate some to accelerate the development of martial arts.”
Luo Chen would not be stingy when it came to the development of Da Xia.
Now that martial arts were embraced by all, there were hundreds of millions of people reciting his name every day. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that all of Da Xia’s citizens were connected to him by a spiritual bond.
When setting up the spirit formation earlier, Luo Chen’s first thought was to take it from the national treasury. However, seeing the ravaged state of the land, he abandoned the idea.
【Na Lan Yan Ran has initiated a private message】
【Na Lan Yan Ran】：“Luo Shen Da Lao, have you started refining elixirs?”
【Luo Chen】：“I'm preparing now. What’s the matter?”
【Na Lan Yan Ran】：“My teacher is quite skilled and very handy. Moreover, she admires you greatly. She heard that you are refining elixirs and volunteered to help with some chores. Please grant her permission so that she can learn from you!”
Luo Chen frowned slightly. This didn't seem like Yun Zhi's usual style.
However, it wasn't a big deal, so he casually agreed.
【Luo Chen has sent an invitation to cross the world to Na Lan Yan Ran】
The world-crossing function was not exclusive to group members and had no restrictions on identity.
…
异火 World.
Na Lan Yan Ran’s boudoir.
Yun Zhi smiled gently at her disciple and asked, “Little one, what brings you here?”
“Heehee,” Na Lan Yan Ran giggled and then said earnestly, “Luo Shen Da Lao is about to refine elixirs, but he lacks an assistant. You know he’s in a post-apocalyptic world, and the other members’ worlds are also quite low-level. There’s no one who can handle such a task.”
“I thought, maybe Teacher could be so kind as to lend a hand to Luo Shen Da Lao?”
Yun Zhi was taken aback and furrowed her brow slightly, “Really?”
Something about this didn’t seem right…
“Of course, it’s true!”
Na Lan Yan Ran nodded earnestly, “Teacher, you should hurry over. Don’t let Luo Shen Da Lao wait. I'm still waiting for those wonderful elixirs to improve my cultivation.”
“Alright.”
Hearing this, Yun Zhi didn’t refuse. She stood obediently in place.
Na Lan Yan Ran immediately accepted the world-crossing invitation and sent Yun Zhi over.
“Teacher, I can only help you this far!”
