Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 125: The ruins of the golden elixir, the Supreme Elder of Ghost Valley (please subscribe)

 “I am older than you.”

"Well."

 “My realm is also higher than yours.”

Looking at Luo Chen, who was stunned for a while, Duan Feng chuckled and said, "So don't call me Xiao Duan."

"All right!"

Luo Chen had no choice but to wave his hands and said:

“Now that the Dao Forum is closed, what is Xiao Duanqi’s plan?”

Duan Feng’s expression froze, and when Feng Xia saw him next to him, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud despite his originally worried mood.

 In desperation, Duan Feng didn't bother to correct Luo Chen's title.

He sighed and said: "What plans can I have? Whether I have a forum or not, it all depends on my life and practice. I can only find another way out."

 Looking for another way out?

Duan Feng actually has good skills in repairing magical instruments, and Luo Chen knows this.

His damaged jade blade was repaired by Duan Feng for free.

Later on his birthday, Duan Feng also gave Luo Chen a piece of tips on maintaining magical instruments as a birthday gift.

If Duan Feng opened a magic weapon repair shop in Dahefang, his survival would definitely be no problem.

 But opening a store also requires start-up capital, connections, and time to build a reputation and cultivate a customer base.

 But Duan Feng does not have any of these things.

 It is conceivable that his future plans may be related to combat.

 It's uncertain, he will become a robbery cultivator, living by killing people and grabbing treasures.

They are neighbors after all, and Luo Chen doesn't want to see the other person take that precarious path.

“How about joining the Poshan Gang? Come to my alchemy hall and have a good time and drink with me.”

 Duan Feng was quite surprised when he heard this invitation.

 He hesitated: “Isn’t this not good?”

"What's wrong? I'm the number one alchemist of the Poshan Gang. As long as I'm here to protect you, no one can tell you what to do."

 “I need to think about it.”

“Okay, think about it and tell me, then Brother Qin, Sister-in-law Murong and I will vouch for you.”

 Luo Chen doesn’t force it either.

 Inviting Duan Feng to the alchemy hall was something he casually mentioned out of curiosity.

 But actually, when you really think about it, it is a very cost-effective thing.

 With his hard work in the past three months, Dantang's income has soared, and Luo Chen's dividends have also increased.

 But in the final analysis, most of the profits from the elixir were taken away by Mi Shuhua and the Poshan Gang.

Compared with such a huge interest organization, Luo Chen's personal power is insignificant.

 But if he can continue to improve his voice in the gang, he may not be able to reset the dividend ratio in the future.

 Similar things are actually common in the daily trivial matters of the Poshan Gang.

Murong Qinglian and Qin Liangchen tried their best to protect him, so why not add allies to the couple?

Luo Wudi wanted to open up the path to Snow Lotus Square, so why didn't he want to support his friend at the ninth level of Qi Refining?

 What Luo Chen is doing now is the same as inviting Gu Caiyi into the alchemy hall.

 Furthermore, Duan Feng and Gu Caiyi are different.

This man's mind is very simple, and he only wants to improve his strength, whether it is realm or fighting methods.

 His strength is also very strong. There are so many Qi-refining casual cultivators in Dahefang, and he can easily be ranked among the top ten.

 Such a person is relatively easy to control.

Furthermore, Luo Chen doesn’t want to control the other person, he just wants to form a good relationship!

Even if Duan Feng has a better place to go in the future, he will still remember Luo Chen's kindness, and maybe he will help him at some point.

Finally, even if Duan Feng enters the Dan Hall, he will not pay the salary!

 It was the Poshan Gang who sent it for him!

 Perhaps there is also profit from the elixir created by Luo Chen.

 But Luo Chen couldn't get his hands on that thing, so he might as well treat it as a favor and use it to befriend Duan Feng.

 …

 The sudden closure of the Taoist Forum caused an uproar in Dahefang.

ˆThe chain impact brought about is huge!

 First of all, as Luo Chen thought, a large number of small businesses suffered an almost devastating blow.

Without the huge flow of people gathered at the forum, no one paid attention to those small commodities with much higher prices.

 Luo Chen had already responded and quickly asked Feng Xia and Yuan Xiaoyue to reduce the prices.

In the past, one cup of milk tea was worth one spiritual stone, but two cups of milk tea are now worth one spiritual stone.

Not only that, we also launched a summer drink, iced Yunling Fruit Tea, which is delicious and cheap.

The same applies to Yuan Xiaoyue. Increasing the quantity of various snacks does not increase the price, which increases competitiveness.

 But those who are not prepared in advance will be in trouble.

Luo Chen had no time to care about their lives. He only knew that another huge influence had begun to affect his daily travels.

 “Which batch is this?”

Luo Chen looked at the monk at his feet, who had been beaten beyond recognition and whose bones were in pieces, with a gloomy expression.

Hearing his angry words, Zhou Yuanli said cautiously: "The third group is also the one with the highest cultivation level. It has reached the eighth level of Qi refining."

"How dare such a miscellaneous cultivator come to rob me?" Luo Chen felt incredible.

Haven't you ever been smart? His apparent bodyguards include two eighth-level Qi Refining monks!

Zhou Yuanli smiled bitterly, this is not some miscellaneous practice.

He has extremely rich combat experience, and he also has a top-grade flying sword weapon at the bottom of the box.

If it weren't for the two brothers who were investigating earlier, the ambush would have been discovered in advance.

 In haste, Luo Chen will definitely be shocked.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and looked towards the Luofeng Mountain in the inner city.

“These groups of bold and daring people must have been frequent visitors on the Taoist forum, right?”

"It's like this. The person I am today is named Feng Yijian. He was once ranked ninety-seven on the Dahe Prodigy List. His fighting ability is quite impressive in one-on-one combat."

 One on one?

 It’s a pity that he was one to six today.

 On the surface, Luo Chen and Dongfang Liang, who were only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, didn't even take action.

Zhou Yuanli and three other bodyguards alone destroyed him into **** in an instant. Even the top-grade flying sword that Feng Yijian had just sacrificed did not fly in front of Luo Chen.

Luo Chen rubbed his brows. Recently, there have been more and more such robberies and killings.

 The Taoist Forum was closed, and the many qi-refining masters who had gathered there suddenly had nowhere to go.

 These people, the monks from the family are fine and can return to the family to work.

 But those casual cultivators from other places or local cultivators suddenly lost their livelihood.

 It just so happened that they were used to fighting.

 Without a place to vent, and without a stable source of spiritual resources, and armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions are naturally everywhere.

 The outer city area has almost reached the point of endless chaos.

Some junior and middle-level casual cultivators were even more miserable and turned to Poshan Gang, Dajiang Gang, and Xuanyihui one after another, just to seek a little protection.

As the top alchemist of Poshan Gang, Luo Chen, a wealthy and powerful Dan Chenzi, naturally fell into the sight of the group of casual cultivators who made a living by fighting.

Those at the ninth level of Qi Refining may still have concerns.

But those monks at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining who have little knowledge but are experts in art and bold have no scruples.

 While Luo Chen was commuting to get off work, he took action several times.

 Either in groups of three or five, or intercepted and killed by one person.

If this continues, there is no guarantee that someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining will not take action personally.

 “You really treated me like a fat sheep and slaughtered me!”

 After cursing, Luo Chen sent people to clean up the battlefield.

The middle-grade robe was damaged, and the storage bag was also shattered in the bombardment. Only a medium-grade magic weapon in his hand and the high-grade flying sword magic weapon that flew into the air were preserved.

 “Liu Qiang!”

 Liu Qiang raised his head.

Luo Chen waved his hand, and the flying sword hovered in front of Liu Qiang.

"Last time, you were successful in protecting me and were seriously injured. I will reward you with this top-grade flying sword."

 Have you rewarded me?

Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then took it happily.

 A high-grade flying sword was worth more than two thousand spirit stones in the past.

 The situation has been chaotic recently, and the price of magic weapons has increased again. If you go to Wanbao Tower to buy it, it will cost you 3,000 yuan!

 “The hall master is very generous, Liu Qiang thanks him for the reward.”

Luo Chen didn't care and gave another medium-grade magical weapon to Dongfang Liang, who was at the lowest level.

 Get another meal of thanks.

The other three bodyguards were not dissatisfied. In the first two interceptions, Luo Chen not only took away the spiritual stones and elixirs, but also distributed most of the other spoils to them.

It’s just that this time, it’s Liu Qiang and Dongfang Liang’s turn.

 Luo Chen’s move was quite generous.

 But he did it as a last resort.

The number of robbery cultivators who kill people and seize treasures increases, and his security becomes more and more important.

 The five bodyguards under his command, except Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang, the other three were not taken seriously in the gang before.

  I don’t have a very good magic weapon in my hand.

In order to enhance their strength, Luo Chen simply borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, which was a grand gesture.

 “But when will days like this end!”

Luo Chen sighed, feeling more or less complaining about Master Jindan.

The source of everything depends on that guy.

It's a pity that Luo Chen couldn't stop worrying about when the excitement would end.

 Because greater chaos has come.

“An ancient relic was discovered in the Guyuan Mountains, which is definitely the relic of Master Jindan.”

As soon as he arrived at Xieyue Valley, he learned the news from Murong Qinglian and others.   …

 …

"Sure?"

 “How are you sure?”

 In the crowd, Luo Chen asked curiously.

This time, it was Sikong Shoujia's turn to answer his questions.

“The formation surrounding that ruins is the famous Heavenly Craftsmanship Soul Seizing Formation.”

“This formation can only be set up by the golden elixir masters from Ghost Valley, and ordinary golden elixir monks cannot arrange it.”

Luo Chen became even more curious: "Ghost Valley? There is no such sect in the Jade Cauldron Territory!"

Sikong Shoujia stroked his beard and said leisurely: "You, the younger generation, don't know this name. It's normal."

Luo Chen and others' expressions froze, why are you pretending to be an old-timer?

 We are all of the same generation. You are several decades older, so you are still in the period of refining your Qi.

Yes, we in the world of immortality do not care about ethics and divide seniority according to realm!

“At the beginning, the sixteen factions jointly launched the opening war, led by the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect and supplemented by the other five great sects. You should all know their names.”

“Among the sixteen sects, the remaining ten major sects are all famous. For example, Luoyun Sect and Ailaoshan are among them, and Ghost Valley is the major formation sect.”

“During the opening war, Guishen Valley contributed a lot of effort, setting up formations on every mountain and slaying monsters when encountering water.”

“Unfortunately, in the face of a wave of monsters led by the fourth-level monster king, the Guishen Valley camp was greatly impacted, and Master Yuding was unable to rescue them, resulting in the near-annihilation of the entire army in Guishen Valley.”

“Later, an old Jindan from Guishen Valley hurriedly came to gather the remaining soldiers and sadly withdrew from the opening war.”

“Four hundred years later, the old Jindan has long since passed away. Guishen Valley has no successors and has gradually declined. Now there is only one branch, in the form of a cultivating family, attached to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.”

 Listening to Sikong Shoujia’s eloquent talk, everyone couldn’t help but be fascinated.

 Start a war!

　　What a grand scene it was.

 Sixteen sects jointly conquered the Lianxia Mountains, killed millions of monsters, and finally established the Ding Yu Ding Territory to open up a new training ground for the human race.

In this vast war, there are people like Master Yunhe who have suddenly emerged, but there are also tragedies like Guishen Valley where entire families have fallen.

“There are more than one big sect that suffered heavy losses like Guishengu, including Minghuangzong and Haoran.”

 “Stop, stop, stop, it’s getting further and further!”

Luo Chen interrupted Sikong Shoujia's long speech and pointed to the crux of the problem.

“Shouldn’t everyone be dead when the Ghost Valley camp was destroyed? Why are there still people running to the Guyuan Mountains thousands of miles away to set up formations?”

Sikong Shoujia spread his hands, "How do I know? Anyway, the body of the Supreme Elder of Guishen Valley was not found at first. Everyone thought that he was not dead. It was not until the fall of Guishen Valley that the Supreme Elder did not return, so everyone thought that he might be alive." It has long been eaten by monsters.”

"But now it seems that the Supreme Elder is quite capable and actually escaped into the Guyuan Mountains."

 Only in his explanation did everyone know.

 It turns out that the Tiangong Spirit Seizing Formation is a top-level third-level formation and cannot be deployed except by masters of the Golden Core Formation.

If given enough time, its power would even be comparable to that of a fourth-order formation, and it would be easy to resist the fourth-order Beast King.

 And this formation has a special feature!

 It does not require the formation of spirit stones. It can form an array with the help of mountains and rivers, absorbing the free spiritual energy of the outside world.

 Even after many years, the formation can still be kept intact.

Therefore, some people inferred that the ruins discovered in the Guyuan Mountains were the residence of Master Jindan and the Supreme Elder of Guishen Valley.

“It is said that someone in our gang got into the outside of the formation by luck and found several spiritual herbs that are more than five hundred years old. If it is inside, there may be thousand-year-old spiritual herbs!”

Sikong Shoujia was amazed and wanted to explore.

Someone next to me was suspicious, "Isn't it four hundred years ago? How come there are still five hundred and thousand years of treasures from heaven, materials and earth?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, everyone else looked at him as if he were a fool.

He was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red instantly when he realized what he was doing.

The Supreme Elder of Guishen Valley was enthroned four hundred years ago, but the things in the Guyuan Mountains did not only exist for four hundred years.

 Under the protection of the formation, the resources inside can safely grow to a higher age.

 Don't say a thousand years, even if it's a ten thousand year spirit creature, you can't tell for sure.

"Wait a minute, you mean that the ruins were discovered by our Poshan Gang?" Luo Chen heard this meaning from the old man's words.

Sikong Shoujia nodded, "Of course! The Guyuan Mountains have always been the main area of ​​our activities. It is normal for monks like me to be the first to discover such large ruins."

 When he said this, the monks in the Alchemy Hall and the Medicine Hall became excited.

 The ruins discovered by the Poshan Gang, shouldn’t the harvest belong to the Poshan Gang?

How can they, the gangsters, share some of the profit?

Even if you can't share the profits, you should still enjoy the convenience of the location if you take the initiative to apply for exploration.

 For a time, the two monks were very moved.

Luo Chen, who was a little excited when he saw this, gradually calmed down.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and the Poshan Gang is not an extremely cohesive sect force.

 Now that even these people know it, how long will it be until Dahefang knows it all?

Perhaps those who are a little better informed already know it!

 As for the golden elixir ruins, it is also the place where the supreme elder of the sect is seated. How many treasures may be contained in it?

 It’s simply unimaginable!

This feast is probably not for ordinary cultivators like them.

Just because Luo Chen is so calm doesn't mean that others can also be calm.

Especially in the next two days, the news coming out of the Guyuan Mountains became more and more outrageous, making everyone agitated.

Lishan seeds, the seeds of the second-level spiritual fruit, can assist the cultivation of foundation-building monks, and have excellent effects on earth-based monks.

800-year-old root of heaven and earth, one of the main ingredients of the foundation-building pill. It is extremely old and its potency is almost no less than that of ordinary low-grade foundation-building pills.

Monk student service can increase the chance of foundation building by 20% out of thin air.

If you ask an alchemy master to refine it into a foundation-building pill, you can finally make a middle-grade foundation-building pill, which can almost increase the chance of foundation-building from 30% of a low-grade pill to 40%!

 In addition to these two spiritual herbs, there are also various precious medicinal materials such as purple monkey flower and yin scale grass.

These things alone are enough to arouse everyone's mood.

But these are just wild treasures of heaven and earth. It is said that the Supreme Elder took most of the assets of Ghost Valley to participate in the opening war.

There is no shortage of foundation-building pills and even pill-forming resources.

 Under such huge profits, the whole Dahefang is boiling.

Every day, hundreds of monks flock to the Guyuan Mountains.

 Even the threat of monsters has been forgotten by them.

Luo Chen has been watching the development of the matter, but he did not expect that the influence of the Jindan ruins would also affect him in Xieyue Valley.

Standing on the cliff platform, Luo Chen's eyes fell into the valley.

 Luo Wudi is negotiating with Murong Qinglian.

 There is nothing hidden in the conversation between the two, it is open and open, and any monk who pays a little attention can hear the conversation.

“Fifty people from the medicine hall followed me into the mountains and were responsible for identifying and digging out the miraculous medicines and herbs.”

“Too many, taking away so many people at once, the medicine hall cannot maintain normal operation.”

“It’s not much, and the monks can keep 30% of the profits from the spiritual herbs they find.”

"However, there are already enough people going to that ruins, and it is very dangerous."

"Danger?"

Luo Wudi's eyes fell on the monks who were watching here, and he chuckled.

“Then ask them if they are willing to go?”

Murong Qinglian couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the monks in the medicine hall who were eager to try.

 “Forget it, it’s up to you!”

Luo Wudi clapped his hands and said, "If you want to go, come to me to sign up. Those with higher levels will be given priority!"

In an instant, 80% of the monks in the medicine hall flocked to him, all hoping that they would be chosen.

Luo Chen ignored all this.

When he turned around, he realized that a group of monks in the Alchemy Hall were all staring down with fiery eyes.

 “What are you looking at!”

 Suddenly, a loud roar sounded.

Luo Chen stared at them with cold eyes, "A group of old, weak, women and children, do you also want to die?"

 Most people were silent.

 But there are still some people whispering, saying things that block people's roads, such as killing their parents.

 It’s Roldo!

 Luo Wudi’s nephew.

“If you want to go, hurry up and get out, this hall master will never stop you!”

“However, if you leave this door today, don’t come back again!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Roldo couldn't wait to fly towards the valley below.

 Several other monks also left the alchemy hall hesitantly.

 “You, alas!”

　　It was Qu Hancheng who sighed, because almost all those who left were fire workers, and they were the ones with a higher level.

Seeing that Luo Chen's anger was still lingering, Qu Hancheng could only smile bitterly.

 The team’s morale has become disorganized and it’s hard to lead them!

 “Hall Master.”

"What, you want to go too?" Luo Chen turned his head angrily.

Qu Hancheng said in panic: "The old man is quite old, and he still has a few children to take care of, so he can go wherever he wants. But, some people are gone, do we still have to carry out the alchemy work in the afternoon?"

Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and patted his shoulder comfortingly.

 “Go on! Why not go on!”

“Not only do you need to refine the elixir, but you also need to refine it! Special refinement! Refine more!”

"When the time comes, they will fight to the death, and we can make elixirs with peace of mind. Rice grains, soup springs, don't study Zhongmiao Pills recently, I will give you a task to refine more Bigu Pills."

“At that time, Elder Sikong will send people to set up stalls at the entrances and exits of the Guyuan Mountains. They eat meat, but it’s not like we can’t drink soup!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Dan Hall was stunned.

 The smarter ones, such as Gu Caiyi, Sikong Shoujia and others, their eyes lit up.
