Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

After two years, Luo Chen returned to Poyue Immortal City.

Compared with two years ago, Poyue Immortal City was even more lively.

There are countless monks coming and going, and occasionally you can see many traces of mortals. It seems that some immortal cultivating families have relocated and brought here mortals.

It is said that not long ago, the Luoyun Sect was proposing to relocate a group of mortals from the inland to multiply and live nearby and establish a mortal kingdom to supplement the source of low-level monks.

but!

Under the surface excitement, Luo Chen was still vaguely aware of the dignified atmosphere.

It is absolutely impossible that the first major defeat on the front line had no impact on the rear.

And this influence was revealed when Luo Chen came to see Hu Yanzhuo, the master of weapon refining.

"Need to make an appointment?"

"Yes, my master has taken on a lot of commissions recently and is very busy, so if I don't have an appointment... I'm sorry, Senior Dan Chenzi."

Looking at the Tianfan City disciples in front of him who were neither humble nor arrogant, Luo Chen felt very calm.

He thought for a while and said: "In that case, then make an appointment for me!"

The disciple hesitated, "At this time?"

Luo Chen handed the other party a sound-transmitting paper crane and said with a warm smile: "It doesn't matter, I've been quite free recently. You can just let me know when Taoist Fellow Hu Yanzhuo is free."

The disciple nodded quickly.

After Luo Chen left, he carefully put the sound-transmitting paper crane away.

"This rumored alchemy master has a pretty good personality."

After muttering to himself, he diverted to the Forging Hall of Tianfan City in the city, where Hu Yanzhuo was busy in an orderly manner with the help of a group of foundry masters in the foundation building period.

He waited quietly for a long time.

Until Hu Yanzhuo, sweating profusely, came over to rest.

"Go on, this lapis lazuli is extremely resistant to high temperatures. It must be smelted day and night for nineteen days before it can be used to refine weapons."

After giving a casual instruction, he looked at the disciple who had something to say.

"Rengui, what's the matter?"

Rengui immediately handed him the message-transmitting paper crane.

"It's that Dan Chenzi. He wants to see you."

"see me?"

Hu Yanzhuo frowned, "That shouldn't be the case. Although the Xuanhuo Sword was repaired by you, the two magic weapons last time were absolutely up to standard. I personally spent a day repairing the Moon Purple Gold Wheel that day. There shouldn't be any mistakes, why are you looking for me?"

Rengui whispered from the side: "As far as I know, the Luotian Alliance lost a golden elixir monk on the front line."

Hearing this, Hu Yanzhuo was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled knowingly.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said to himself with a smile: "It seems that he is in a hurry! That's right, last time I found that he had mixed up a bunch of low-grade magic weapons, so I guess he didn't have any magic weapons. He needs to be sacrificed and refined to have that energy. So when he came to me this time, he probably wanted to ask me to personally refine his natal magic weapon to increase his combat power!"

Seeing Rengui's confusion, he looked puzzled.

Hu Yanzhuo pursed his lips and said, "Rengui, don't compare those golden elixir monks from small sects and casual cultivators to us. Not everyone can have a suitable natal magic weapon immediately after being promoted to the golden elixir stage. Only we in Tianfan City can have this kind of treatment."

Rengui suddenly realized it, and he felt a little more proud of his identity as a disciple of Tianfan City.

He asked: "Master, do you want to see him?"

Hu Yanzhuo was a little hesitant.

Customizing a person's natal magic weapon is the most profitable business, and the commission is almost equal to the value of the magic weapon itself.

But this thing is also the most time-consuming!

Now that the war has begun, there are a large number of tasks for repairing magic weapons that can be taken on. In addition, it is more profitable to produce and sell standard magic weapons.

If you want to take on Luo Chen's mission...

"The failure rate of refining a natal magic weapon is too high and the time cost is too high. I don't really want to see it." He whispered.

Rengui understood, "Then I'll reject him in two days?"

Hu Yanzhuo was about to nod.

But thinking of a rumor, he still shook his head.

"Let's meet him!"

"I heard that this person was recognized by the Qing Danzi of Qing Dan Valley when he first entered the Golden Dan stage, and was directly invited to refine the Ying Ying Dan. In the past few years, he successfully refined the third level cultivation elixir, which can even be stably supplied to Others can see that his alchemy skills are strong.”

"With a person like this, even if he can't help, it's best to maintain the relationship. Maybe I will be able to get the pills I need from him in the future."

"When I finish what I'm doing, you can make an appointment with him for me!"

Rengui hummed and noted this down.

…

Exited Wanbao Tower.

Luo Chen went to Luo Tianbao Hall, which was the former No. 8 shop.

When I got there, I didn't do anything. I just confirmed the time of the Fairy City auction with Xu Huanzhen, and then waited quietly.

This time when he came to Poyue Immortal City, he had to do two things.

I just hope nothing goes wrong!

…

The auction will be held in half a month.

Before that, news came from Hu Yanzhuo.

Without delay, Luo Chen stepped into Wanbao Tower again that day.

See also Hu Yanzhuo.

This little old man has gone through many vicissitudes than before, which shows that he is really busy during this period.

But the energy between his brows, thinking about it, did make him a lot of money, just like Luo Chen was very happy every time he received the payment for the elixirs from Chen Xiuli and Song Mi.

After the two exchanged polite greetings, they got straight to the point!

"I want to refine a magic weapon. I wonder if the master has time recently?" Luo Chen said seriously.

Hu Yanzhuo was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "It must be the Hunyuan Cauldron!"

Luo Chen raised his brows, and when the words came to his lips, he suddenly swallowed them back and continued chatting along the "Hunyuan Cauldron".

"Could it be that your sect has refined this kind of magic weapon before?"

"Of course it has been refined!" Hu Yanzhuo smiled proudly, "Back then, when the Qingdan Valley had not moved to the Jade Cauldron Domain, there were not so many resources of heaven and earth's strange fires. Their sect's alchemist wanted to refine the elixir. A magic weapon like a tripod will naturally come into my hands in Tianfan City."

Luo Chen became interested, "Master is so confident. Is there any successful case?"

"That's natural. Although there are many failures, there are still two."

"Oh! I wonder if your sect has a ready-made Hunyuan Cauldron now?"

"Do you want to buy it directly?" Hu Yanzhuo shook his head, "You may be disappointed. It is extremely difficult to refine this kind of magic weapon. Generally, we only accept customization. Where can we find the excess."

What he didn't say was that there were indeed several Hunyuan Cauldrons in Tianfan City.

But it is by no means ready-made.

Because they are all owned by the alchemists trained by Tianfan City.

"To be honest, the Hunyuan Cauldron has too many functions, so refining it is very troublesome. In the early years, I used this as inspiration to refine a Four-Elephant Cauldron, but unfortunately it failed. If you want to ask me to refine it for you, As for the Hunyuan Cauldron, I really can’t spare the time now, and I’m not absolutely sure of its success.”

Hu Yanzhuo spread his hands and said, "The final result is probably that you will lose all your treasure."

Luo Chen listened with great interest.

He did not expect that the Four-Elephant Cauldron he owned before was actually made by Hu Yanzhuo, and not some fake and imitation thing that was randomly named to raise the price.

He was not disappointed now, but took this opportunity to ask a few more questions.

“Is it easy to fail, and why is that so?”

"The Hunyuan method emphasizes the completeness of the five elements. The attributes of the five elements cannot be unbalanced, so the difficulty is naturally high."

"But in the final analysis, the initial natal magic weapon is only a low-grade one!"

"Haha, that's not what I said. If possible, who would want their own magic weapon to be of poor quality? What's more, the power of the Hunyuan Cauldron depends on the upper limit of the added materials. The more you add, the easier it is to fail. Unless my master Only by Tian Yezi taking action himself can he ensure a success rate of more than 60%."

"Master Tian Yezi!"

"That's right! My mentor is an absolute fourth-level master of casting. He has refined several high-grade magic weapons, including many strange magic weapons. In recent years, he has made fewer moves, otherwise there would be no room for me to become famous in the six regions. .”

"The formation of the magic weapon is related to the engraving formation. I think the several formations required by the Hunyuan Cauldron are actually not that difficult..."

"You are wrong. One formation is not difficult or important, but several formations need to be compatible together. The attainment of the master is very high, and the requirements for the quality of materials are also extremely high. Too inferior. How can the materials carry so many formations?"

"But the materials you used to refine the Four-Elephant Cauldron were also very good. Why..."

"How do you know the materials I use are good?"

"Ahem, I am the owner of the Four-Elephant Cauldron. During my Qi Refining Period, the Four-Elephant Cauldron helped me a lot."

"I didn't expect that you and I have such a connection! Well, the principle is actually very simple. If the material itself is too good, it will also affect the power of the formation. This requires a perfect speed. How to control this speed well? It is the key to testing the ability of a caster."

…

Luo Chen deliberately catered to the inquiry.

Unknowingly, the two of them chatted for a long time about the refining of the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Until Hu Yanzhuo woke up suddenly.

"I told you that I can't help you refine your natal magic weapon recently. No matter how many questions you ask, I won't be free."

Unexpectedly.

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

"When I meet the master this time, what I really want to ask you to do is to refine a strange magic weapon, not a natal magic weapon."

Hu Yanzhuo was stunned.

He raised his finger, pointed at Luo Chen and shook it.

"Good boy, I've been tricked by you for a long time. I finally understand. You are planning to take another shortcut in refining the Hunyuan Cauldron. When the time comes, you can forge it yourself! Leave me here and collect the experience of refining the Hunyuan Cauldron like crazy. Woolen cloth."

Luo Chen nodded, not hiding anything.

There are indeed two methods of refining the Hunyuan Cauldron.

One is the conventional caster refining method.

The other type, although rougher, was refined by the Golden Elixir monk himself. After success, it will be more suitable for the owner of the magic weapon.

Hu Yanzhuo shook his head and looked at Luo Chen.

"I almost forgot that you have the foundation for self-refining weapons by taking away the Flame Alliance's Withering Fire."

"Okay, let's be honest, what magic weapon do you want to practice?"

Luo Chen pursed his lips and said, "Wings!"

"Um?"

"Strictly speaking, they are magic weapon-level flying wings. Your sect has the most experience in refining this kind of strange magic weapon, so Luo can only ask the master to get it."

"Magic level flying wings?"

Hu Yanzhuo frowned slightly and stroked his beard with his right hand, as if he was considering something.

A long while.

He said slowly: "Speak out your request and listen!"

Luo Chen was overjoyed when he saw this!

…

After leaving Wanbao Tower, Luo Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

This trip was not in vain!

Although I paid a deposit of 50,000 spiritual stones, it was nothing compared to what I got.

The refining experience of Hunyuan Cauldron.

He also asked Hu Yanzhuo to personally create a pair of flying wings for him.

His previous Lieyun Wing was in disrepair after being used many times.

Especially for the purpose of refining the Mingyuan Pill, the Daxue Mountain group.

After several fierce battles, it was over-stimulated and was directly scrapped.

Without Lie Yunyi, Dzogchen's third-level flight spell Ninety Thousand Miles can still be activated, but the escape speed is directly reduced by 30% out of thin air!

As a result, his escape speed in the Golden Core stage can be said to be excellent, but it is definitely not outstanding!

It may be faster than most early stage Jindan monks walking with their swords, but it is not as fast as Tao Wan's Nine Transformations of the Wind, and even less powerful than the Rainbow Escape of the Jianzong Jindan monks.

He even said that he once saw Fifth Qi moving around in a small area, and his speed was a little better than his.

The strengths in the foundation building stage, not to mention become shortcomings in the golden elixir stage, can no longer be used.

That's exactly what it is.

He just wanted to complete this method.

Next, it will be his turn to go to the front line.

Jiuwanli, a trump card that combines attack and escape, can no longer be left idle.

Except for this one thing.

The other one is about the practice of the illusion technique of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon.

After reaching the master level, proficiency improved more and more slowly, so slowly that Luo Chen couldn't bear it.

According to his estimate, it will take at least ten years to achieve Dzogchen!

ten years!

It's too long!

In today's world, even if it is not said to be the golden age when the human race conquered the five continents and set the Dingding Mountains and Seas in ancient times, it is obvious that the demon clan no longer sits there and waits for death, and there are sudden changes in the war.

Troubled times are coming!

In this case, every additional hole card means that Luo Chen has one more chance of saving his life.

He didn't want to be like Jiang Yu, lying in front of the clan for people to pay their respects and remember.

Therefore, he must speed up the practice of Jing Hua Shui Yue.

And how to speed up, he gradually figured out the method.

Investigating its essence, Mirror Flower, Water Moon is not a free technique, it requires a corresponding target.

The more powerful the target is, the longer he can persist, and the faster he can improve his proficiency.

In short, he needs a better sparring partner!

The first and second level monsters could no longer meet his needs.

It is impossible for ordinary Jindan monks to cooperate with him in practice.

Therefore, he needs a third-level monster.

living!

…

"Did you get the tickets?"

"Two tickets, one for each of you and me. The Immortal Cultivation Family withdrew from the opening war, so we have these two extra tickets. Take them, and hurry in to grab a front-row seat."

"This can be regarded as Poyue Immortal City's first official large-scale auction!"

"At this time when the front line is defeated, holding an auction of this scale is to circulate materials, gather popularity, and boost morale for the coming war. Those big shots above have far-reaching thoughts!"

"Don't forget they also make a handsome commission."

"Stop talking, I just want to get a good secret pill-forming technique at this auction."

"Taking advantage of the period of opening up the war to form elixirs, fellow Taoists are really big-hearted!"

"How bold a person is, how productive the land is. In this current situation, those third-level spiritual veins have the weakest control restrictions. This is an opportunity for us to rise. Do you think I should take this chance?"

"You said that, I'm a little tempted. How about we bid together later?"

"Uh... let me think about it!"

The news of the auction held by Luoyun Sect has already been released.

This is also the reason why even though the frontline is defeated, the number of monks in the rear is still increasing.

Everyone knows that after so many monks have died and so many monsters have been killed, there is no telling how many resources will emerge.

In particular, some golden elixir sects who were determined to obtain the third-level spiritual veins traded some of their sect's secrets that were not urgently needed, just to exchange for resources that could increase their combat power.

And those things are what many leaders of small forces or strong casual cultivators want most.

Even when the crowds are surging, they also maintain corresponding order.

Only when the Jindan monk appears, there will be an exception and a separate channel.

Luo Chen is also one of them.

Shrouded in a black robe, he entered the VIP room left alone by the Luoyun Sect for the Eighteen Golden Elixir Sect.

When we entered, Fifth Qi had already taken a seat.

now.

Fifth Qi pointed to a VIP room in the circular palace venue and said in a low voice: "The Gate of Supreme Harmony exists in name only."

That VIP room was reserved for the Supreme Harmony Sect of the Jindan Sect.

But at this moment, there were only a few people inside, and Master Jindan was nowhere to be seen.

Luo Chen shook his head, he naturally knew this.

The five great sects besieged a top-grade third-level spiritual vein, and the one who suffered the most heavy losses was the Taihe Sect.

The three golden elixirs were buried there.

Only one middle-stage Jindan monk who stayed behind survived.

I heard that they have been recruiting the remaining disciples recently and plan to withdraw from the opening war.

But now that the war has begun, how can it be so easy to withdraw?

Luo Chen ignored the matter and focused his gaze on the center of the venue.

According to the introduction on the invitation.

The first round is to auction resources related to monsters.

His goal is also among them.

Soon, as he closed his eyes and meditated, the monks gradually arrived, and the auction slowly began.

The previous auctions were all related resources of some rare first-order monsters or second-order monsters.

Living, dead, blood and bones, demon skin and fur...

Every item was taken out, and it looked like a slaughterhouse, with a fishy smell and a demonic aura!

The monks present were all excited and their eyes were wild.

The vivid monsters that were put on the auction table had anger and sadness in their eyes.

When third-level monster resources appear one after another.

Fifth Qi on the side suddenly said: "The demonic beast has been promoted to the third level, refining its bones, speaking human words, wisdom has been born, and it has cultivated the great road of heaven and earth. Such existences are actually the same as us and other golden elixir monks. There’s no big difference anymore.”

Luo Chen opened his eyes, wondering why he brought up such a topic.

Fifth Qi said faintly: "Do you think there is such a possibility that in a world that is beyond our reach, human monks will also be put on the auction table for demons and evil spirits to judge and choose at will?"

Luo Chen frowned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

It can only be said that the other party failed to achieve the fourth level of the golden elixir in seclusion and became a little sentimental.

It was at this time.

The Golden Pill cultivator of the Luoyun Sect took over a spirit beast bag from the cultivators in the audience.

A spiritual secret was struck on it.

Suddenly, a vivid picture appeared in the center of the venue.

"A third-level gray leaf wolf king!"

"The most common and ordinary gray leaf wolf has reached the third-level demon king level. It has a solid foundation and a relatively gentle temperament. It is most suitable to be domesticated and used as a mountain guardian spirit beast."

"The starting price is 100,000 spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 10,000."

"Fellow Taoists who are interested can bid."

The words just fell.

Many people in the venue were moved.

This kind of Wolf King may not be as good as a Golden Core cultivator in combat power, but it is definitely above ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

Protecting the mountain gate in this way can not only increase the combat power, but also strengthen the sect's reputation.

The only drawback is probably that it takes too long to tame such a wolf king, and it cannot have immediate results in today's wars.

However, the starting price of 100,000 spirit stones is not expensive. Maybe you can try to bid for it?

For a time, everyone was eager to try.

At this moment, a calm voice came down from above.

"One million spiritual stones."

The eyes of the Luoyun Sect's golden elixir cultivator lit up and he immediately shouted: "Dan Chenzi from the Luotian Alliance is offering one million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

The venue fell silent.

Dan Chenzi, the newly promoted Jindan Master, also has the special status of an alchemy master.

If you don't sell it, the price will increase tenfold.

How proud!

In the VIP room, Wuqi couldn't help but glance at Luo Chen, with a sour taste in his mouth.

Is the alchemist that rich?

Little did he know that Luo Chen was digging into his pocket.

"Get the upper hand first, offer an absolute price, and then add on my reputation. No one will argue with me anymore!"

Luo Chen murmured in his heart.

Fortunately, there was no incident.

After three bids and no one said anything, the third-level gray leaf wolf king fell into Luo Chen's hands.

Fifth Qi said sourly: "A gray leaf wolf with little potential and little fighting power. Fellow Taoist spend so much money, it really opened my eyes!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said nothing.

As long as it is "value for money", there is no such thing as spending money.

He stood up and walked backstage.

Fifth Qi was stunned.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, aren't you going to attend the auction later?"

Luo Chen waved his hand without looking back.

"I can't afford good things, and I don't like ordinary things. It's useless to keep them, so I took the first step."

Fifth Qi opened his mouth, somewhat impressed by Luo Chen's decisiveness.

Who attends an auction and doesn’t watch it from beginning to end?

Even if you don’t buy it, it would be great to experience it!

Little did he know that Luo Chen was already racing against time and began to race against time so as not to waste any time.

Moreover, with the remaining spiritual stones on his body, it is actually impossible to buy any treasure that can immediately enhance his strength.

Went to the backstage and traded the goods from the surprised Luoyun Sect monk.

Luo Chen stopped staying and left Poyue Immortal City directly.

As for whether there were any exciting moments in the auction or whether there were robber cultivators wreaking havoc after the conference, that had nothing to do with him.

He is now focused on practicing magic!
