Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

How much is a live Tier 2 Explosive Ape worth?

This demon is divided into the fire attribute, has a violent temper, does not understand human nature, and is extremely difficult to tame.

If there is no special means of controlling beasts, the value of this monster is not high, but it is only used for killing, and it can be sold for four to five thousand spirit stones at most.

It is different from the Lie Huo Yunpeng that Luo Chen bought.

Although Lie Huo Yunpeng is also a Tier 2 monster, it is an extremely difficult bird-type monster to catch. If a pair of wings is complete, it is the best Tier 2 casting material.

Therefore, the price of Liehuo Yunpeng has remained high.

In comparison, the value of Exploding Ape is very low in the hands of others.

However, this is only for others.

Luo Chen is different!

He is an alchemist, and he happened to have an alchemy for Explosive Ape Demon Blood.

At this moment, Luo Chen was very excited when he looked at the mangled and bloody Explosive Ape.

"What will happen to the power of the burning blood pill if you use the second-level explosive ape demon blood to refine it?"

"Does it mean that it can be used by Foundation Establishment True Cultivators?"

In this way, the value of Burning Blood Pill will skyrocket.

Although the price of Burning Blood Pill is already comparable to ordinary second-tier pills.

But that's also because of its special effects.

If the second-order demon blood is used as the main material, it will definitely become a real second-order elixir with special effects.

"hey-hey……"

"What are you giggling about?"

On the wasteland, which was a mess and could be called ruins, Wang Yuan walked over like walking on the ground.

When he got closer, he raised his eyebrows.

"Aren't you going to kill them?"

"I will keep this beast for the time being."

He didn't intend to kill the second-order Explosive Ape, and raise it in captivity, so that he could make the most of it by extracting blood and alchemy.

"Then I will give you this demon pill!"

While speaking, Wang Yuan casually threw the demon pill he had taken earlier to Luo Chen.

As soon as Luo Chen took it, the unconscious Explosive Ape twitched under his feet.

"Yo! Its instinct still wants to take back this natal demon pill."

Luo Chen grinned and looked at the demon pill in his hand.

Lines of blood, like small snakes, are densely wrapped around fist-sized crystal nuclei.

It is faintly visible in the crystal nucleus, and there is a large amount of pure demon power.

And outside the crystal nucleus, besides the blood line, there is also a thin layer of blue barrier.

This is the poisonous incense released by the green musk deer gathered in the dragon flag.

The reason why Wang Yuan was able to calmly prevent the Yaodan from exploding itself was due to Luo Chen's contribution.

The two didn't delay too much, there are still a lot of things to do in the oblique moon valley.

The spiritual power gushed out from Luo Chen's hands, forming a series of chains, binding the corpse of Exploding Ape.

Dragging this comatose body, he flew in the direction of the Slanting Moon Valley.

"It's a pity that it has shrunk so much, otherwise we will get rich just by selling monster meat."

Hearing Luo Chen's tone like a money fan, Wang Yuan who was walking side by side couldn't help but chuckle.

"The bigger the monster, the better."

"Um?"

"When you're free, you should really read that "Tianpeng Transformation", which contains many introductions to monsters."

Under Wang Yuan's explanation, Luo Chen finally understood why the second-order monsters had such extreme changes in body size.

The bigger the body, the higher the demand for food.

Usually a little action will consume a lot of blood.

Therefore, many monsters, when advancing to the second level, will instinctively start to develop the direction of practice.

Shift the focus of practice from physique to the accumulation of demon power.

Demon Pill!

This is the result of the practice of the monster.

Unlike human monks, they often need to condense the golden core when they are in the golden core stage.

When the monster is at the second level, it will condense the demon core.

At this point, they have embarked on a path of cultivation similar to that of the human race.

Store the absorbed aura in the demon pill and transform it into the demon power of life.

Once in a combat state, a huge amount of demonic power pours out, which can not only release black magic, but also expand the body size.

After listening to this explanation, Luo Chen suddenly realized why most of the meat sold in the market is first-order monster meat.

Obviously, the second-order monsters are bigger and heavier, and the amount of meat they produce will be more logically.

It turned out that all the essence of his body was gathered in the demon core.

When Xiong Kun sold him Liehuo Yunpeng, he also focused on the demon pill and wings.

He didn't pay much attention to the tens of thousands of catties of flesh on Lie Huo Yunpeng's body. I also thought about it before, and sold it to casual practitioners in the Qi refining period.

"From this point of view, "Tianpeng Transformation" is really unique."

Luo Chen admired, and then his heart moved.

In his storage bag, there happened to be the corpse of a bird and monster.

If it is refined, a lot of blood essence can be extracted, which can be used for Wang Yuan to practice Tianpeng transformation.

Wang Yuan didn't know Luo Chen's mental activities, and said with emotion: "After all, it's the third level of body training, so how can it be useless."

"Then Brother Wang's way of changing his body shape just now is also derived from "Tianpeng Change"?"

Wang Yuan shook his head, "That's not true. I knew this trick a long time ago. It belongs to the use of energy, blood and physique. But "Tianpeng Transformation" did give me a lot of ideas."

Luo Chen blinked, "Then do you want to practice Tianpeng Transformation?"

He had already decided that if Wang Yuan really needed it, he would give some of the blood essence from the Liehuo Yunpeng corpse to Wang Yuan.

The remaining part is enough for him to refine Emperor Ointment in the future.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuan curled his lips.

"How can the transformation of a monster be compared to my human real body. This method can only be used as a reference. If I can perfect my natal technique of the second stage of body training, it will be worth it."

"As for comprehensive practice, I will absolutely not lose sight of the basics."

Hearing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but nodded.

The monsters are strong, but not that strong.

Humans of the same level can deal with monsters as long as they have more means.

The transformation of a monster seems really unacceptable.

Moreover, the "Tianpeng Transformation" technique is still incomplete, and it is impossible to practice it if you really want to.

While the two were chatting, they had already returned outside the Oblique Moon Valley before they knew it.

...

"The president is back!"

"Look, what's that?"

"Hiss, monster!"

"It seems to be alive!"

With the return of Luo Chen and Wang Yuan, the cultivators of the Luo Tian congregation, who had already ended the battle, surrounded them one after another.

There was an endless stream of cheers.

Especially after seeing the Exploding Ape, they all exclaimed.

Even Sima Huiniang and the others who approached couldn't help but look terrified.

This is a Tier 2 monster!

Ordinary Qi-refining cultivators are no match for them.

Winning is already as difficult as reaching the sky, and killing him is even more unimaginable.

Now, Luo Chen and Wang Yuan teamed up to capture him alive.

Doesn't this mean that the two teamed up to already have a strength surpassing that of a second-order monster?

Compared with Human Race Foundation Establishment, I'm afraid it's almost the same!

In the crowd, Duan Feng watched this scene with extremely fiery eyes.

"Big man, it should be so!"

Surrounded by many eyes, Wang Yuan frowned.

He spent a lot of money in this battle.

There is no need to stay here, Luo Chen is more suitable for handling these matters than him.

Without saying anything, Wang Yuan flew directly into the Valley of the Inclined Moon.

Luo Chen passed through the crowd step by step, his eyes looked around, his sharp sword-like gaze swept across, and everyone couldn't help avoiding it.

But soon, fanatical gazes followed Luo Chen's back again.

Today's battle once again established Luo Chen's position in the meeting.

It's not just as simple as mastering the superb alchemy technique.

He still has a powerful strength enough to convince everyone!

With the strength of one person, he can move freely in and out of the tide of beasts.

Even in the face of second-order monsters, they can be captured alive.

Everyone knew very well that Zhantang Wang Yuan was very strong, beyond everyone's perception.

But even for Wang Yuan, it is difficult to capture the second-order monsters alive.

In other words, Luo Chen also contributed a lot in the battle in the wilderness.

When he came to the gate of the city, Luo Chen turned around.

He didn't talk nonsense, and gave orders directly.

"Come two late-stage Qi refining monks, and put this Explosive Ape into the dungeon and lock it up."

"Don't worry about it bursting out, the demon pill is in my hand, and it has been poisoned, so there is no resistance in a short time."

Soon, two late-stage Qi refining monks came out and directly used the traction technique.

Using spiritual power as a chain, he pulled the dead ape and flew into the valley of the oblique moon.

At the beginning of its construction, the lower part of the Oblique Moon Valley was expanded.

There is a huge natural mine in itself, but it can be used with a little repair.

It is more than enough to imprison this Tier 2 monster now.

After dealing with the Explosive Ape, Luo Chen continued to give orders.

"Hall Master Murong counted the casualties, counted meritorious service, and will reward meritorious deeds tomorrow."

"Caiyi, together with Granny Yuan, take care of those injured brothers."

"Duan Feng, you lead people to repair the fortifications and make up for the gaps in the formation. Be sure not to let the younger generation take advantage of the fire."

It is impossible to say that no one noticed such a big battle broke out in the Oblique Moon Valley.

It's just that things are not clear at the moment, so those casual cultivators dare not act rashly.

As Luo Chen swept his eyes just now, he already noticed that there were many casual cultivators approaching all around.

He issued a series of orders one after another, just in case.

They even asked Sima Xian and Qin Liangchen to patrol the vicinity with two teams of troops.

In the end, he said quietly:

"President Sima Huiniang, law enforcement elder Zhou Yuanli, you come with me."

...

In the Haoyue Hall.

Luo Chengao sat on the seat, his eyes slightly closed.

After taking a Huachen Pill just now, plus the self-returning function of Changchun Gong, the large amount of spiritual power consumed in the body is slowly recovering.

Below him, Sima Huiniang and Zhou Yuanli stood on both sides respectfully, not daring to breathe.

Up to now, Luo Chen's evil spirit has become more and more intense after successively experiencing the battle of the oblique moon valley, the battle of the Fu family, and the most recent battle of the beast tide.

He has been in a high position for a long time, and his words and deeds all reveal the power of the superior.

Zhou Yuanli, who followed him the longest, felt the deepest.

In the past, Luo Chen would often joke and pretend to be cute.

But now, he rarely sees those scenes.

Out of season, or, to occupy its place and nourish its spirit.

After a while, Luo Chen opened his eyes.

Looking at the two, the tone was flat, not gentle, but not harsh.

"Where did the beast tide come from?"

The first sentence refers directly to the essence of the matter.

Zhou Yuanli bowed and said, "The inner city of Dahefang's spirit vein confinement formation was shattered, and a large amount of spiritual energy diffused for thousands of miles, forming a land of spiritual prosperity. Therefore, long before, there were low-level monsters that followed their instincts to enter the outer city."

"The answer I want is not this." Luo Chen shook his head slowly.

Sima Huiniang hesitated and said: "According to the reports from the people below, this batch of beasts are mainly ape-like monsters. Among the nearest mountains, only Zhouyi Mountain, which belongs to the Guyuan Mountain Range, has a large number of such monsters."

"Yes, the beast tide should come from Zhouyi Mountain."

Luo Chen's face darkened slightly, watching the two of them.

"Zhouyi Mountain is hundreds of miles away from Slanting Moon Valley. Even if the monsters run fast, they can rush here quickly, but they have a strong sense of territory, why should they look far away?"

"If you want to seek a place of spiritual prosperity, you should also go to the nearest outer city."

"Right?"

Sima Huiniang and Zhou Yuanli looked at each other.

For a while, he was actually asked.

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "This matter, someone should be targeting me, Luo Tianhui!"

As soon as these words came out, the first two couldn't help being shocked.

They also knew that this beast horde was weird, but they didn't think deeply about it.

After all, in the outer city of Dahefang, there have been quite a few monsters scurrying around.

The only thing that surprised them was why Zhou Yishan's monsters came here.

At this moment, Luo Chen made a point, which made them shudder.

Who would go to such lengths to deal with Luo Tianhui?

Luo Chen sighed inwardly, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.

Three or four months have passed since the inner city of Dahefang turned into a ghost town.

For such a long time, there was no news from Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

For casual cultivators, this may be good news.

But for him, it's not so good.

This means that his days of holding Pang Renxiong's token and pretending to be powerful will come to an end.

If two months later, Jade Cauldron Sword Sect hadn't come back yet.

Sooner or later, there will be someone who can't help but make a move on Luo Tian.

This time the beast tide, I'm afraid it's just a test in advance.

And those foundation-building monks are the biggest suspects!

"The beast tide must be artificially attracted!"

"However, there must be corresponding means to attract them. Otherwise, there is no force in Dahefang that can withstand the impact of beast tides again and again."

Luo Chen looked at the two of them, "Investigate the inside of Luo Tianhui! Find out everything, people and things that may attract the second-order Explosive Ape."

"Obey!"

"Obey!"

As the two retreated, Luo Chen rubbed his eyebrows.

The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop!

The seemingly peaceful Dahefang is undercurrents surging all the time.

Luo Tianhui, which is developing better and better, will undoubtedly become a piece of fat coveted by many people.

I have to figure it out myself.

He was worried, but not panicked.

Because as early as when he decided to stay in Dahefang, he had already imagined the current situation.

Now, it's just about to face it.

"This is the autumn of life and death...or can we follow the example of the past?"

The murmuring sound echoed faintly in the wide hall.

...

Early the next morning.

Ninth-level Qi-refining monks entered and exited Haoyue Hall one by one.

Zhou Yuanli, Duan Feng, Qin Liangchen, Murong Qinglian...

Luo Chen was at the top and didn't speak, everything was left to Sima Huiniang to preside over.

He was just listening in, and would only intervene when he encountered a critical problem.

"In the battle last night, the monks in the valley suffered little damage, and the only thing that suffered a huge loss was the battle hall."

"A total of eleven battle hall monks fell in the beast tide. In addition, there are two who lost their combat effectiveness, and I am afraid that they will not be able to recover to their peak for the rest of their lives."

Eleven died and two were seriously injured.

This is almost half of the battle hall.

If Luo Chen hadn't come back quickly, even if Luo Tian would have won this battle, he would have lost the sharp knife of the battle hall.

Even so, it can be regarded as a heavy loss.

Murong Qinglian's report is still going on.

"The damage to the fortifications is not large, but it has consumed ten middle-grade spirit stones, which is a huge expenditure."

"Elder Duan is speeding up the repair of the fortifications in order to restore the peak state of the small five elements."

"For this, there will be an expenditure."

…

"President Sima, what do you think?"

When the report was over, Sima Huiniang frowned.

She said without thinking: "The repair of the fortifications is the most important thing. You can tell me the number of spiritual stones that are needed, and they will be replenished immediately."

"The remaining battle hall monks will be rewarded with great rewards."

"The reward standard will be implemented according to my pre-war mobilization. However, the restrictions can be relaxed slightly, and their equivalents can be exchanged for high-level magical artifacts and seals."

"A monk who is seriously injured should not be humiliated lightly. My suggestion is to include it in the logistics department and make full use of it."

One decision after another came out of her mouth.

From the beginning to the end, Luo Chen next to him didn't make a sound to stop it.

In fact, Sima Huiniang had discussed this with him before.

Luo Tianhui's loss was indeed huge.

But the main focus is on casualties.

The real material loss is actually not much.

The estates of the eleven battle hall monks who died were directly confiscated.

This inheritance alone can be used as a reward and distributed.

And those more than two hundred monsters were beheaded on the spot.

Part of it belongs to the slayer.

The remaining ones were killed by Luo Chen himself.

These first-order monster meat are good things.

After a little processing, you can take it out and sell it.

A piece of spirit stone and ten catties of meat can return ten to twenty thousand spirit stones.

The rest of the fur, blood and bones are not counted in it.

The only thing Luo Chen interfered with was the reward for the surviving monks.

He asked Sima Huiniang to let go of the restrictions, and no longer just follow the standards strictly.

Instead, those monks can use equivalent items, plus the merit points they have earned, to exchange many high-grade magic tools and high-grade talismans from Luo Tianhui.

The intention of this move is self-evident.

If the quantity is not enough, let the quality come together.

The remaining group of people must increase their fighting power!

Coincidentally, in Luo Tianhui, there are indeed so many high-grade magical artifacts.

After three wars, although many magic weapons were destroyed, many good things were also seized.

Duan Feng had repaired many magic weapons before, and now they are all taken out, enough to arm the monks of Luo Tian Battle Hall to the teeth.

After Murong Qinglian left in satisfaction, the calm in Haoyue Hall was restored.

Sima Huiniang still did not dare to relax.

After all, she had only been in office for a few days, and there were so many casualties in the meeting.

No matter how you say it, you can't escape the responsibility.

But Luo Chen didn't blame her.

Some things are not her fault.

"You've done a good job. With you in charge of everything in the meeting, I can rest assured."

Luo Chen rarely smiled and encouraged Sima Huiniang.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Chen beckoned, and Sima Huiniang stepped forward.

A paper crane and two crane nests suddenly appeared in front of Luo Chen.

"This is the Sound Transmitting Thousand Paper Crane. You and I will keep a crane's nest for each other."

"If there is an urgent matter in the future, you can directly notify me with this within a distance of thousands of miles."

Hesitantly took the thousand paper cranes, Sima Huiniang showed surprise.

When did such magical artifacts appear in the world of cultivating immortals?

The sound transmission range is so large, it is much stronger than the sound transmission symbol.

Just when she was about to say something, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.

Soon, Zhou Yuanli walked in with a gloomy expression.

"President, we found it!"

"Um?"

"Come this way, please."

Luo Chen's eyes flickered, and he set off immediately.

After a while, under Zhou Yuanli's leadership, he came outside a building with a strong stench.

He looked at the place suspiciously, "Animal room?"

Zhou Yuanli nodded and pushed open the door.

Liu Qiang's embarrassing expression immediately appeared in front of the two of them.

"President, I..."

Luo Chen immediately stepped into it, and his eyes instantly fell on a red ape with a whole body.

"First-order Explosive Ape, is this the way to lure the beast tide here?"

As his voice fell, Liu Qiang knelt and half-kneeled on the ground.

"My fault!"

"I bought this beast from outside, but I didn't want it to be a way to lure wolves into the house."

Luo Chen shook his head slowly.

This is not to blame Liu Qiang.

Because, he personally ordered Liu Qiang to do the purchase of live monsters, and he was not allowed to do it by others.

These living monsters are all used by him to practice the deterrent magic after swallowing the Tongyou Pill.

Now in the middle of winter, the mountains are covered by heavy snow.

Ordinary beasts are rare, and hunting monsters is even more difficult.

With Liu Qiang alone, he couldn't catch many live monsters, so he bought them from outside.

For this reason, Luo Chen also specially allocated a sum of spirit stones.

Looking at the Exploding Ape, the demonic aura is very weak, but it looks like it has just entered the first level.

On the contrary, the hair is quite smooth and supple, and the red luster of the whole body reminds Luo Chen of the second-order explosive ape imprisoned at the bottom of the mine.

"Is it the cub of that second-order monster?"

Luo Chen asked without looking back.

"It should be without a doubt." Zhou Yuanli said in a deep voice, "I have already sent someone to do a blood test. The two monsters have a direct blood relationship, and they are very strong."

The bloodline of monsters is easy to test, and it is more prominent than the bloodline of humans.

Rumor has it that there are even monsters that rely on bloodlines to inherit and cultivate.

In this way, it makes sense.

The second-order Explosive Ape lost its cub, and it was still the one with the strongest blood.

It's no wonder that it will be furious, and it will sweep over with a wave of beasts.

Now Dahefang, without the deterrence of the inner city formation, the monsters have gradually lost their awe.

You can see the clues from many small things.

The second-order Explosive Ape is just the first second-order monster to enter the vicinity of Dahefang.

It is conceivable that there will be more in the future.

But these are not important!

Luo Chen turned his head and looked at Liu Qiang.

"Stand up and talk."

Liu Qiang stood up and met Luo Chen's gaze.

"Where did you buy this beast?"

"The animal farm of the Nangong family."

"Nangong?"

Luo Chen frowned slightly, "Who sold it to you?"

Liu Qiang subconsciously said: "It's the old man of the Poshan Gang, Ke Yuelin, the head of the animal hall. He is now attached to the Nangong family and manages the animal farm for them. He also sold this beast to me himself. I think it is full of spirituality, and it may help President, you practice..."

"Ke Yuelin..."

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, chanting the name in his mouth.
