Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 114: How can a man who is born in heaven and earth live in depression for a long time?

 What do you think of Mi Junping?

Luo Chen was startled at first, why did he mention that woman so carefully?

Sikong Shoujia stared at Luo Chen nervously. He came with a mission and needed to know what Luo Chen really thought.

 Then, he noticed that Luo Chen looked at him in an increasingly strange way.

 There seems to be a feeling of "confidant"?

 Suddenly.

 “Elder Sikong, I understand you!”

you got me?

 “How can a man be born in the world of heaven and earth and live in a state of depression for a long time?”

“You are highly respected, highly knowledgeable, and approachable. Over the years, you have made countless contributions to the gang.”

“I am getting old, but I can only serve as a small butler in my alchemy hall. It is simply an insult!”

“To be honest, as the hall master, I can’t stand it.”

“Don’t worry, if you want to kill Mi Junping, then I will definitely support you in becoming the leader of the Hall of Honors!”

no!

what are you talking about!

To be honest, those first few sentences made Sikong Shoujia's blood boil and his eyes filled with tears.

 But with that last sentence, he couldn't hold back at all.

Luo Chen continued: "Mi Junping is a woman, with long hair and short knowledge! She is narrow-minded and harsh in treating others. The brothers in the gang have long been dissatisfied with her."

"If her father hadn't been a Foundation Establishment monk... So what if it were a Foundation Establishment monk! The Poshan Gang is everyone's gang and an alliance of our casual cultivators."

 “She has no talent or virtue and is not worthy of being the leader of the hall.”

 “Elder Sikong, I will definitely support you in ascending to the throne!”

 “Stop it, stop it, please stop it.”

Sikong Shoujia quickly covered Luo Chen’s mouth. His old face was now completely white.

This is all nothing!

Luo Chen’s intention is still unfinished, and it is rare to go to the fire once.

 It’s a pity that the other party didn’t take the lead.

“No, I just want to ask you what you personally think of Mi Junping.” Sikong Shoujia gritted his teeth and went straight to Huanglong: “That is, if you become a Taoist couple with her...”

This time, Luo Chen covered the old man's mouth.

 “Stop it!”

 “I don’t like women who are older than me!”

Sikong Shoujia didn’t react. How old is he?

We are immortal cultivators, and our lifespan can range from a hundred and eighty years to a thousand and eighty years. Are you telling me our age?

“Age doesn’t matter, Ronaldinho. I’ve been here, you...”

“Then why don’t you come to propose marriage?”

 One sentence made Sikong Shoujia choke.

Seeing his appearance, Luo Chen felt at ease.

 It is estimated that Mi Shuhua sent him to find out the news.

Thinking about it at a deeper level, we have to rely on chalcedony elixir.

 In the past, he could only refine low-grade chalcedony pills, so Mi Shuhua didn't pay much attention to him.

 Once he joked that if he would not abandon his father-in-law, he would be his adoptive father, but Mi Shuhua didn't even take it seriously.

 The reason for this is that the refining of low-grade chalcedony pills is actually not that difficult.

 Given a few decades, if the alchemy hall develops well, Mi Shuhua can always support a few talents who can refine low-grade chalcedony elixirs.

  But when it comes to mid-range products, it’s not that simple.

Mi Shuhua has no confidence in cultivating talents who can refine the middle-grade chalcedony elixir.

 As a foundation-building monk, he has to face the pressure of condensing golden elixirs, so naturally he cannot go into battle in person.

 In this case, the importance of Luo Chen is completely highlighted.

 Indispensable!

 So, Mi Shuhua is tempted now.

I want to tie Luo Chen to the Mi family ship through the simplest and most direct marriage.

 But Luo Chen didn’t want to.

 He would rather exchange benefits and cooperate with each other. You are good, I am good, and everyone is good.

 But marriage?

 What can Mi Junping bring to him?

 Bring nothing!

 After the marriage, it is nothing more than some resources of the Mi family, but Luo Chen can also get those things now.

 For example, something as precious as the Small Spirit Gathering Formation.

 Compared with the two, the cost-effectiveness of marriage is too low.

 It is only beneficial to Mi Shuhua and the Mi family, but to Luo Chen, it is quite useless.

 In the end, Sikong Shoujia returned without success.

After going back to report to Mi Shuhua, the other party just waved his hand casually, indicating that he would no longer be entangled in the matter.

 It was just a casual chess move.

Luo Chen should not do this and does not hinder the relationship between the two parties.

As long as the chalcedony elixir can be refined stably, then the two parties will be no different from one family.

Can Luo Chen stably refine the Chalcedony Pill?

 This is nonsense!

 A month later, in the alchemy-raising room of the alchemy hall.

 The "Big Three" accompanied Mi Shuhua and were counting the number of pills.

“Three hundred bottles of low-grade chalcedony pill.”

“One hundred bottles of medium quality chalcedony elixir.”

 After getting this amount, Sikong Shoujia was obviously relieved, and Gu Caiyi was also very happy.

 Compared with last month, there were twenty bottles less of the middle-grade Chalcedony Pill, but it didn’t drop too much.

 Mainly because for a period of time, Luo Chen hid in the inner city and did not come to the alchemy hall to practice alchemy.

 Mi Shuhua could not help but nod after receiving this amount.

 “You did a great job!”

“Especially Luo Chen, his alchemy skills have stabilized.”

Luo Chen is counting the spiritual stones beside him!

That's what Mi Shuhua brought over just now. It's his dividend last month.

 A total of 1,300 yuan, which is really a huge amount of money.

 If you add in your original savings, Luo Chen's savings will be restored to 2,500.

 Furthermore, at Chenyue Food Stall and Mixue Ice City, the income from last month has not been settled yet.

Although the settlement has not yet been made, Luo Chen has an idea of ​​how much he can earn as he has the raw materials and sales data.

 If the settlement is completed, his deposit will exceed 3,000 for the first time!

Maybe compared to some ninth-level monks who have been refining Qi for many years, it is still a little less.

 But Luo Chen’s consumption has never stopped in the past month.

Whether it was purchasing additional dust-transforming pills or soothing incense, a lot of spiritual stones were spent.

At the milk tea shop, six to seven hundred spirit stones were invested.

 In general, every piece of spiritual stone has been used on the edge of the sword.

Hearing Mi Shuhua's compliment, Luo Chen smiled naively.

 Put the spiritual stones, four bottles of Chenchen Pills, and a box of soothing incense into the storage bag.

Luo Chen rubbed his hands and took advantage of Mi Shuhua's good mood to ask some questions about practice.

 “You mean pure spiritual power?”

Mi Shuhua stroked his beard, and his spiritual consciousness swept over Luo Chen. He was still at the seventh level of Qi training.

He smiled and said: "Purifying spiritual power in the later stages of Qi training is not something that happens overnight. There is no trick. It just relies on hard work."

 “Is there really no trick?” Luo Chen refused to give up.

 His progress in cultivation can be seen with the naked eye every day.

 But when it comes to spiritual purity, there is not much progress.

 He discovered this problem when he happened to be familiar with magic in the back mountain.

Zhou Yuanli only needs a small amount of pure spiritual power to cast the same ordinary spell.

 He has to continuously inject a large amount of spiritual power. Although the speed is very fast, the power is almost the same.

 The difference lies in the purity of their spiritual energy.

 His spiritual power is too vain.

Perhaps because he has been relying on elixirs to practice, although Luo Chen's total spiritual power is far higher than that of the same level, the cost of releasing spells is also greater.

Hearing Luo Chen's questioning, Mi Shuhua pondered for a while.

“Actually, it’s not that there are no tricks, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to use this trick now.”

 “Huh? Please speak up!”

 “Gongfa!”

Mi Shuhua looked at Luo Chen and softly uttered two words.

“All Qi refining stage exercises, as long as they involve the later stages, have the effect of actively purifying spiritual power to a greater or lesser extent.”

“But this effect depends on the grade of the skill.”

“What you are practicing now is Changchun Kung Fu, and this technique comes from Yaowang Sect.”

He shook his head, "It is said that Changchun Gong was born out of the Medicine King Sect's Immortality and Evergreen Sutra. It only absorbed the continuous characteristics of the Immortality and Evergreen Sutra. But the most famous evergreen characteristics of the Immortality and Evergreen Sutra are not Stay in Changchun Gong.”

"And this evergreen characteristic, at the level of Qi refining, is pure spiritual power. After completion, the spiritual power will be as green as green flowers and full of vitality. Even when the end is approaching, the spiritual power will be extremely pure, and it can even keep the appearance forever. ”

Hearing this explanation, Luo Chen had a headache.

 When it comes to natal skills, he has no choice.

You can't just change to a method that's good at purifying spiritual power now, right?

 However, Mi Shuhua's next words also wiped out this last fluke.

“Actually, most of the exercises accessible to casual practitioners, or those circulated on the market, were simplified and simplified by various major sects before being spread.”

“Almost all of their core characteristics have been removed from these simplified exercises.”

Luo Chen was shocked, "Then after our casual cultivators are lucky enough to break through the foundation building, how will we solve the natal skills in the foundation building period?"

Mi Shuhua smiled bitterly, "How else can we solve it? Go shopping on the black market, buy at the auction, or try your luck in the secret realm."

Luo Chen frowned, "In that case, I'm afraid that the technique you get is not so in line with your spiritual roots, right?"

Mi Shuhua sighed and agreed with Luo Chen's guess.

Seeing that Luo Chen was still frowning, he comforted him:

"Actually, you don't have to worry. Purifying spiritual power is a matter of the entire late stage of Qi refining. Only the disciples of large sects will purify it when they first enter the late stage of Qi refining."

“Like us casual cultivators, many of us only start thinking about this matter after we have been promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining.”

“Even without those good skills, you can always hone your pure spiritual power day by day.”

 Whether the spiritual power is pure or not, it does not have that big an impact on battles at the same level.

 After all, many people rely on magic weapons to fight.

 As long as you ensure that your spiritual power is enough to control the magic weapon, there really is no difference between purity and emptiness.

  But this has some influence on Luo Chen, he is better at spell combat.

Furthermore, from the "Qi Refining Experience" that Mi Shuhua gave him, he also knew that in addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, the purity of the monk's spiritual power was also the most critical point in breaking through the Foundation Establishment.

 That's why he started to worry about this matter at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

 But even Mi Shuhua couldn't give him good help.

"That's really not possible. Let's wait until the auction starts next year and take a look at the items in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion!" "Huh?" Luo Chen suddenly raised his head.

 ….

 …

“The Yaowang Sect is the main alchemy sect in the entire Thirty-Six Regions of the Eastern Wasteland. Although it cannot compare to the Mingyuan Sect with its Alchemy Sage in terms of high-level elixirs, it is still better than the Mingyuan Sect in terms of low-level elixirs.”

“And if we narrow the scope to the six regions of the Far East, as long as it is related to elixirs, it is almost impossible to escape the Yaowang Sect.”

“Almost as long as it is a pill related to cultivation, Yaowang Sect will be involved in it.”

Facing Luo Chen’s expectant gaze, Mi Shuhua talked eloquently.

"And for purifying spiritual power, they also have a specially made elixir - Elf Pill."

As soon as the name came out, Luo Chen immediately understood its effect.

 Elf elixir, an elixir of pure spiritual energy.

“This elixir is divided into levels one to three, which is sufficient for monks in the three realms of Qi refining, foundation building, and golden elixir.”

“But because most of the sect’s monks’ techniques have purification effects, the sales of Elf Pills are not very good. The Medicine King Sect also mostly exports them to areas outside the Eastern Wasteland for sale.”

“At the last auction, they didn’t auction the Elf Pill.”

"But I remember that once before, the Spirit Medicine Pavilion took out five bottles of second-level elf pills. Maybe next year, they will also take out a few bottles for auction."

Luo Chen asked curiously: Can I use the second-level elf pill? "

“It is not recommended to use it, so you’d better hope that they can come up with a first-level elf pill for the Qi refining period!”

Mi Shuhua smiled. Seeing that Luo Chen had expectations, he was no longer so depressed and he breathed a sigh of relief.

  Can't let this sweetheart be in a bad mood!

“By the way, I have some news about the Shanxiu who kidnapped and killed you.”

 “I will give you an explanation when the time comes.”

 Before leaving, Mi Shuhua gave Luo Chen good news.

 For an enemy who had attacked and killed him head-on, if the opponent never showed up, Luo Chen would really feel like he was carrying a ray of light at his back.

However, unless a casual cultivator really runs into the mountains, he will always show up in front of others.

 Especially low-level monks!

The deep mountains and swamps are inaccessible, and high-level monsters are everywhere.

 The sect is so big that others look down upon it and cannot even be treated as a vassal.

As for going to the mortal world to mess around, that is even more impossible.

 In fact, after staying in Fangshi for a long time, Luo Chen was also confused when he saw that many old and feeble monks were still struggling and did not go to the mortal world to enjoy themselves.

Later, Wang Yuan gave him an explanation himself.

 Monks cannot stay in the mortal world for long.

 This is an ironclad order and an unspoken rule.

As for the real reason, Wang Yuan did not explain clearly. Anyway, he said that monks cannot live in the mortal world for a long time.

 So, it was expected that Shanxiu would show up after more than a month.

 He even hid for a little longer than Luo Chen expected.

It would be best if Mi Shuhua could bring that guy's head in front of him.

Even if he doesn't mention it now, Luo Chen feels relatively at ease knowing that the other party is active in Xuelianfang.

 Mi Shuhua left, and today’s work has come to an end.

 The rest is some trivial matters such as replenishing medicinal materials and cleaning the alchemy furnace.

Luo Chen doesn't have to worry about these things, Gu Caiyi will arrange them for him.

After saying hello, Luo Chen returned to the inner city under the **** of bodyguards.

 It was still early, so he took a detour to Baishi Square.

Yuan Xiaoyue said hello to him and made an appointment to go to the courtyard later to settle last month's accounts.

As for the milk tea shop, Luo Chen was surprised.

“Duan Feng, why are you here?”

 Ahem.

 Duan Feng coughed and rested for more than a month. Most of his injuries have recovered.

 However, because his internal organs were injured at the beginning, the cold air remained for too long, resulting in some sequelae in his lungs.

 From time to time I have a cough.

“I feel almost in good health. Let’s go out for a walk and help Sister Xia with some chores.”

“That’s great, but I don’t have the spiritual stone to pay you a salary.”

Duan Feng twitched the corners of his lips and didn't care about these things.

Feng Xia walked out of the small door and said, "There is still something to finish, so we have to wait a while."

“It’s okay, you guys are busy first, I’ll take a stroll.”

Luo Chen was bored and walked to the opposite side of Baishi Square.

There are already many buildings near that piece of jade.

 The registration points, gambling houses, and restaurants serving the Luofengshan Forum have begun to take shape.

He looked up at the jade. In addition to the number of battles tomorrow, there was also a separate list.

 The first one on the list is the foundation building list.

But there are only a few names on the list.

The only person Luo Chen knew was a foundation-building monk named Nangong Jin.

I know him because when I was choosing a milk source, I learned that the Nangong family raised a group of deer, so I learned more about the family.

 “Ranked third, who did you lose to?”

 Shaking his head, Luo Chen looked at the Qi Refining Period list with great interest.

The person ranked first, coincidentally, is also named Nangong.

Nangong Qin, the ninth level of Qi refining!

With the blessing of spiritual eyes, a series of achievements appeared behind the name.

　　We won so-and-so and lost so-and-so, but Duan Feng's name was actually included in the record.

 He and Nangong Qin dueled twice in total, winning one and losing the other.

 Except Nangong Qin, the ones below are Li Ao and Yan Mingyao

 It wasn’t until ninth place that I discovered Duan Feng’s name.

“Last month I fought tooth and nail to keep the top three spots, but after just one month of recovery, my ranking slipped to ninth place.”

 “Tsk tsk, the ranking competition in this discussion forum is quite fierce!”

“I don’t know what ranking I will get if I participate in the war.”

 In recent times, Luo Chen has become extremely familiar with the magic weapon on his hand.

 For offense, there are high-grade magical weapons such as the Fire Pointed Spear, the Soul-Breaking Nail, and the Jasper Sword.

 In terms of defense, there are four elephant cauldrons and high-grade robes.

  As a flying instrument, the snowboard is barely usable.

However, for movement, he relies more on the high-grade magic weapon Cloud Stepping Boots, as well as his Xiaoyaoyou and Wind Control Technique.

 In addition to these, he also has the God-losing Bell and thousands of waste chalcedony beads.

 And these are just external objects.

His most powerful thing is his magic.

“However, my combat experience with monks is still too little. On the forum where the environment is limited, I am afraid that after using many methods once or twice, the enemy will be protected.”

“Perhaps I can consider finding some less powerful monks on the list to challenge me in the future, so as to sharpen my combat experience?”

 For a time, he was not only eager to give it a try.

 As for the monks to participate in the battle in the later stage of Qi refining, they need to bet on a magic weapon.

He is not worried at all. He still has a few low-grade magic weapons that he does not need, and he can use them for betting.

Luo Chen actually knew very well that it was not appropriate to just practice hard.

No matter how much wealth you accumulate, if one day you encounter an enemy and are defeated, your wealth will be robbed by others.

Even if he saved his life, all his efforts were in vain.

 Appropriate means of sharpening and protecting the road are also necessary.

Although I usually find some monsters to train myself, to be honest, first-level monsters really don't have much intelligence.

 Even some of the more powerful ones only act on instinct.

 For things like the art of protecting the Tao, you still have to find human monks to fight, and the number is increasing rapidly.

And Mi Shuhua also mentioned something today, that is, the spiritual power and purity of monks who often fight are usually much stronger than those of ascetic cultivators.

 It can be seen that fighting can also play the role of some pure spiritual power.

But this matter is not urgent. We will talk about it later when we have time.

Luo Chen watched for a while, then returned home with Yuan Xiaoyue and Feng Xia who had finished their work.

 In the yard, he settled last month's accounts with two people respectively.

 The income of the Chenyue snack stall is very stable, still around 600 spirit stones. He gave Yuan Xiaoyue 60 spirit stones, and the other party went home happily.

Luo Chen was very surprised at the milk tea shop.

 In the first month, the gross income was more than 500 spiritual stones.

 After deducting more than one hundred costs, including raw materials and rent, there are still four hundred left.

Luo Chen took away the three hundred and three and pushed the seventy spiritual stones to Feng Xia opposite.

 “So many?” Feng Xia was a little surprised.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's not much. The fixed salary is based on the fifty yuan you had when you were at Baicaotang. The extra twenty yuan is your dividend."

Feng Xia is, after all, a late-stage cultivator at the seventh level of Qi refining. She was hired for a month and was only given 70 spiritual stones.

I have to say that Luo Chen is still very satisfied.

"The business in the store will only get better and better in the future, and Sister Xia, you will also be able to get more spiritual stones."

 Feng Xia happily accepted the spiritual stones.

Touching the spirit stone, Feng Xia hesitated for a while and said: "Actually, sometimes there are too many people and I can't handle them. Otherwise, I might have made more last month."

"I know this, so I said a long time ago that we can recruit another person after you get familiar with it." Luo Chen nodded.

 “What do you think of the short paragraph?”

Hearing Duan Feng's name, Luo Chen didn't react for a while.

Feng Xia sighed, "Instead of waiting for him to recover from his injuries and go to the Taoist platform to fight for life and death, it is better to sell milk tea safely in the shop. The neighbors in the courtyard have come and gone over the years, and they have changed a lot. Xiao Duan looks indifferent, but he is actually a good person, and I don’t want him to die on the forum. "

Luo Chen blinked, Sister Xia, is this really the case?

However, he didn’t expose it and said with a smile: “I don’t mind Xiao Duan if he is willing. But he doesn’t get any dividends. He only has a fixed salary of fifty spiritual stones per month.”

“Fifty is not a lot. If he saves for a few years, he can open a small shop that repairs magical instruments. Well, he is very experienced in repairing magical instruments.”

As she spoke, Feng Xia agreed with her own thoughts.

However, this matter was rejected by Duan Feng before Luo Chen left the next day.

“Before I recover from the injury, I will help Sister Xia sell milk tea.”

 “I don’t want the spirit stone.”

“After I recover from my injury, I will still go to the Taoist platform to hone myself.”

 This was his reply. Feng Xia couldn't force it, and Luo Chen naturally didn't refuse.

 There is one more person working for free!

When leaving the city, Luo Chen suddenly remembered something.

 Duan Feng’s spiritual power fluctuations are obviously not much different from before, but as he gradually recovers from his injuries, why does he feel so much stronger than before?

“Could it be that he is fighting on the Taoist Forum to purify his spiritual power in the later stage of Qi refining?”

 Inexplicably, Luo Chen thought of this.

If this is really the case, maybe he really should consider taking the time to go on stage and play a few games.
