Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 166 To show sincerity, three foundation-building pills (please subscribe for updates!)

 “Huo, it’s almost winter before I know it.”

Luo Chen ducked into the garment shop and shook off the fine snow on his body.

  Can't help but sigh.

The last time winter came, it was the last time.

Time flies, and almost a year has passed.

This year, too many things have happened. Even if he found someone to make tea around the stove and talk about the past, he, Luo Chen, would not know where to start.

 He only knows a little.

 Last May, he was at the third level of Qi refining stage.

In less than two years now, he has reached the ninth level of Qi refining stage, and has already begun to make plans for foundation building.

 The entry is so fast, it’s staggering!

I believe that even the geniuses of the sect would be stunned if they saw it!

 But none of this comes out of thin air.

 Consuming so many resources every day for hundreds of days, which are converted into spiritual stones, even a foundation-building monk would be horrified.

Only if Luo Chen has the right way to make money can he support such high-speed practice.

Said hello to the old woman in the clothing shop.

 After crossing the incision and putting on the mask, Luo Chen once again stepped into the underground hall of Zhenlong Black Market.

 This is the second month after the inner city of Dahefang was destroyed, and the Zhenlong Black Market was held as scheduled for the second time.

As soon as he entered, Luo Chen noticed a familiar sight falling on him.

The other party did not hide it, but it did not contain any malicious intent.

Feeling the gentle gaze, Luo Chen nodded towards that person.

　　　是天星子.

 “This senior is really thinking about me!”

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, and just as he was about to find a secluded corner to sit down, a monk in black walked up to him.

“Senior Murong, our master has arranged a new position for you, please come this way!”

"oh?"

Luo Chen was startled, but he did not refuse and followed him past many casual cultivators.

 Finally, he sat down on a golden sandalwood chair on the edge of both sides.

 The moment I sat down, there were many eyes on me.

 No other, the seats on both sides have always been the thrones of the foundation-building cultivators.

Even if there are not enough foundation-building cultivators, this place will only be vacant and will not be used by casual cultivators in the Qi-refining period.

“Is this one of the VIP treatments Tian Xingzi mentioned?”

 When he first sat down, Luo Chen felt a little uncomfortable.

 But he soon accepted this status quo.

 In the Luotian Club, after being the president for so long, he has long been accustomed to others looking up to him.

Now it is just sitting on the edge of the foundation period.

 Furthermore, sitting in such a place is also beneficial.

If you encounter a treasure you want, most casual cultivators in the Qi refining period will think twice before bidding.

 This is "position", the sense of oppression it brings to people.

It is not the kind of resource that must be obtained. Generally, casual cultivators will not offend the big shots to death, and they all know the principle of taking it as soon as it is good.

 After sitting down, Luo Chen realized that he came a little early today.

 There were only about a hundred people in the hall, and none of the other foundation-building monks arrived.

 A black market monk served him tea, and he enjoyed it happily.

 But as the number of people increased, he noticed something was wrong.

 Because the auras of those who appeared were completely different from those of Qi Refining and Casual Cultivators.

 Among them, there are several whose auras he is familiar with.

 The Breath Condensation Spirit Art is not just as simple as condensing the breath and changing the fluctuations of the spiritual energy.

 After Dzogchen, there are many wonderful uses, including the means of simulating the aura of others.

 Naturally, you will also be particularly sensitive to the breath of others.

 “This person exuding light vapor is Wang Haichao!”

 “Nangong Jin is here too.”

“The female cultivator with the bare face, as expected, should be Li Yixian, the founder of the Li family.”

“In this case, another familiar old foundation-building monk who is talking to a few people should be Duan Qiankun, the ancestor of the Duan family.”

 Unexpectedly, in the black market today, all the leaders of the four major foundation-building forces in Dahefang were gathered together.

Especially Nangong Jin, who looked over at Luo Chen from time to time.

They also seemed to be curious as to why a monk in the Qi refining stage could sit with them.

Although, it is only at the edge of the bottom.

Luo Chen remained calm, still enjoying tea and cakes contentedly, as if he had great confidence.

 His gesture made those people look away.

 “Perhaps he is a distinguished guest of Tianxingzi!”

Several people thought so.

Luo Chen didn’t say a word and had no desire to communicate with them.

 To say too much may lead to mistakes, and your true identity may be exposed.

After the number of people reached almost two hundred, Tian Xingzi stood up and announced the start of today's auction.

 The magical weapon that was taken out at the beginning finally let Luo Chen know why today's black market auction gathered the four major foundations in Dahefang.

“Twenty sets of Fengdu ritual robes and medium-grade ritual implements.”

“When worn by monks, they can resist the invisible attacks of low-level ghosts.”

“The starting price is five hundred spirit stones per set. Each time the price is increased, it must not be less than fifty spirit stones!”

 “Everyone, please!”

 There was no hesitation, almost as soon as the last words were spoken.

 The four major foundation builders took action one after another.

 In the end, five pieces per person were sold at an average price of 700 yuan per set.

Such a tacit understanding of the bidding made everyone feel breathless.

Black market owner Tian Xingzi seemed to have expected it and didn't care about their partnership.

Perhaps, this price is also within his psychological acceptance range.

“The second lot is a green firefly lantern, a top-grade magical instrument, ten pieces in total.”

“Sparking this magic weapon can detect nearby ghosts and release a stream of evil energy from the sun to attack all nearby ghosts below the foundation.”

“The starting price is five hundred spirit stones for each item. Each increase in price shall not be less than fifty spirit stones.”

 This time, it wasn’t Tian Xingzi’s turn to say please.

 The four major foundations are built, so don’t hesitate to ask for a price.

 In the end, two pieces per person were sold, with an average of 800 spiritual stones.

 One of the two extra items was obtained by a Dzogchen monk in the Qi Refining Stage in the hall.

 One piece was taken by Luo Chen and was purchased with 850 spiritual stones.

 Slightly higher than the average transaction price of a Foundation Establishment monk, but fifty yuan cheaper than that of the Dzogchen in the Qi Refining Stage.

 This is the convenience brought by sitting in this position.

After getting the Qingying lantern, Luo Chen finally understood the purpose of these local foundations and gathering here.

 No other!

Today, Zhenlong Black Market took out a large number of magical weapons that were ordered in advance, although the quality was not high.

 But there is no doubt that they are all good things that are very effective against ghosts and ghosts.

Luo Chen is also paying attention to the recent news in Dahefang.

 The local power, while expanding its territory and collecting resources, sent people to explore the ghost city of the river.

 The contents inside are extremely valuable!

 Not to mention anything else, those small sects, including the properties established by their respective families in the inner city, are still trapped inside.

It is definitely impossible to save the person, but at least the things must be brought back.

What’s more, so many monks died inside, and the inheritance alone is enough to make people jealous.

With the Fengdu robe and Qingying lantern, exploring the inner city is no longer difficult, but becomes even more powerful!

 It’s just…

“What is the origin of this Zhenlong black market? In just two months, it has raised so many resources against ghosts and ghosts.”

“The robes, instruments, talismans, seals, and elixirs are all here.”

After spending another hundred spiritual stones to take a Huangquan Pill, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

 In the world of immortal cultivation in the Eastern Wasteland, there are actually not many forces that have the ability to mass-produce magic weapons.

 In the Jade Cauldron Domain, among the seven sects in this domain, there is a Jindan force named Yanmeng who is good at casting weapons.

This green firefly lantern can release the evil energy of the scorching sun, which is in line with Yanmeng's usual tool-making techniques.

 Outside the Jade Cauldron Territory, Tianfan City is a little closer.

 Farther away, there is the Star Gate.

 Zhenlong Black Market, is it a subordinate organization of those forces?

 Or is there cooperation with them?

It is not just Luo Chen who raises this question, the four major local foundations are also speculating in this way.

 But no one dared to ask directly.

Tian Xingzi’s strength is unpredictable.

 Every time he takes out so many resources, who knows what his methods are, at least he will not be weaker than the local foundation.

Thinking a little higher, it might be at the level of Mi Shuhua, even comparable to the foundation building of a sect.

“A second-order Jinming monkey corpse, 70% complete. The most important eyes were removed, but other materials were intact.”

 “It can be sold in bulk or as a whole at a fixed price.”

“The starting price is two thousand spirit stones.”

Having participated in black market auctions many times, Luo Chen is already familiar with the rules here.

  For example, the law of starting price and bidding price.

 For prices below the starting price of five hundred spirit stones, the bidding price is basically random.

 From five hundred to one thousand, ten yuan per time.

 For those with a starting price of one thousand or more, the starting price is at least fifty spiritual stones.

 If it involves more than 5,000 yuan, the default bidding price is 100 yuan.

 This rule was perfected not long ago.

 Avoid the situation where someone uses a piece of spiritual stone to disgust people after having thousands of treasures.

Zhenlong Black Market doesn’t want to make the bidders angry because of such a trivial matter.

Luo Chen was a little moved when he saw the corpse of this second-level monster.

 The main material of Emperor's Ooze is the flesh and bones of monsters from the same source.

Although the most important thing about the Jinming Monkey is its eyes, to him, the intact bones and flesh are undoubtedly more valuable.

 “Do you want to take a photo?”

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment.

 But in just a moment, Wang Haichao bid 5,000 yuan for the body of the Jin Ming Ling Monkey and took a photo of it.

Luo Chen frowned, the price was a bit low.

After all, it is the corpse of a second-level demon beast. Even if it lacks the most important materials, it contains the demon elixir, so it should be worth six to seven thousand! But it’s just a pity about the price.

 Luo Chen had no regrets.

 Di Liujian’s elixir recipe, a month later, is still being explored.

Even if he purchased the corresponding main materials, he could not directly refine them.

 Furthermore, the corpses of certain monsters are difficult to preserve.

It doesn’t matter, wait until you have figured out the recipe before you think about it!

“A Tongyu grass is a second-level spiritual grass. If given to a spirit beast, it can refine the horizontal bone in the throat in advance.”

“There are three puppets in the Qi refining stage, with good combat power, comparable to those in the middle stage of Qi refining. They guard the gate and guard the courtyard, and are essential treasures for exploring the road and hunting for treasures.”

“A Zihe Taoist robe, a top-quality defensive robe. Its defensive power is not inferior to that of a specialized defensive weapon.”

 …

 Takes out treasures one by one like water.

 The transaction prices are all staggering.

 After experiencing it for a long time, Luo Chen had to lament that those who run platforms make too much money compared to small businesses.

 He worked hard to refine the elixir for a month, but his income was not necessarily much higher than that of pumping water on the black market.

Furthermore, the things in Zhenlong Black Market are not necessarily collected from Zhenlong Black Market.

 Many of these items were commissioned for auction in advance by casual cultivators who were afraid of trouble.

As long as the auction is successful, the organizer will charge a corresponding proportion of the handling fee.

 This is simply a costless transaction!

 Soon, the first auction session ended.

Tian Xingzi walked down and went straight to Luo Chen without hesitation.

This scene fell into the eyes of the four major foundation builders.

A soundproof shield was opened, and Tian Xingzi said hello with a smile.

 “My little friend, you’re fine!”

“Senior is in good spirits. I’m afraid his cultivation has improved greatly!”

 The sedan chair people are carrying people!

 Luo Chen can do it too.

Tian Xingzi shook his head, "I'm old, and I don't expect to form pills in this life. It doesn't matter whether I am diligent or not. What's important is..."

“How is your friend, an alchemist in the Foundation Establishment stage, thinking about it?”

 It seems that he attaches great importance to the cooperation with Burning Blood Pill!

Luo Chen confirmed this idea in his mind and said immediately without any delay:

 “He said it was okay, but...”

 The meat show is coming!

Tian Xingzi cheered up and said, "If you have any conditions, just ask for them!"

Luo Chen was not polite and said directly: "Although Burning Blood Pill is only a first-level elixir, it is extremely difficult to refine, and the demand for main materials is also great."

“So, you need to provide the corresponding raw materials, and the price will be based on the normal market price.”

Tian Xingzi nodded, "This is as it should be. Now that Baicao Hall has moved away, many medicinal materials are indeed difficult to buy."

“Well, if you give me a list, I will do my best to get whatever you can.”

Luo Chen took out a list on the spot and handed it to the other party.

  Such behavior made Tian Xingzi very satisfied.

It can be seen that Luo Chen also came with sincerity.

 Taking the list, he lowered his head and scanned it ten lines at a time.

 Fire Dog Whip, Phantom Grass, Beihai Jade Yao Pillar, Explosive Ape Demon Blood, Earth Fire Demon, Snow Fox Demon Blood, Underworld Yin Demon...

 After reading it, he raised his head in surprise.

 “Do you need so many materials to refine the Blood Burning Pill?”

No wonder he was so surprised.

Just because of this list, not only are there a large number of medicinal materials required, but many of them have very conflicting medicinal properties at first glance.

For example, the blood of the exploding ape demon and the blood of the snow fox demon are limited to the first-level quality, but one of them has explosive properties and the other has cold properties.

 This is no longer a simple category of yin and yang reconciliation. It is of extreme nature and must not be used as medicine at the same time.

Another example is the two evil spirits, the Earth Fire Evil and the Huangquan Yin Evil, which are the first and second levels respectively.

What kind of elixir can require two kinds of evil spirits, or they are of different grades and attributes?

Also, what the **** is a fire dog whip?

Luo Chen smiled and said nothing.

These are naturally not just the raw materials for the Blood Burning Pill.

 It also contains various main ingredients of elixirs such as Zhongmiao Pill, Tongyou Pill, and Xuesha Pill.

 First of all, it was to confuse Tian Xingzi and prevent him from guessing the main ingredient of Burning Blood Pill.

After all, there must be a big force behind the opponent, and there are experienced high-level alchemists who can't protect him.

If he were to deduce the formula of the Blood Burning Pill through the main ingredients, he would be at a huge loss.

Secondly, Luo Chen really lacks these main materials.

 Baicaotang and Lingyuanzhai moved out.

 Xianzhuju was destroyed.

 There are many things that he cannot collect.

 Now in Luotianhui, even the refining of the wonderful pills has been stopped.

Although the Beihai Jade Yao Pillar is very cheap, except for Baicaotang, which is backed by Yaowang Sect, ordinary forces are really unable to purchase it in large quantities for resale.

  It is a specialty of foreign lands after all.

 Tongyou Dan is an incomplete prescription, but Luo Chen has been studying it for a long time and has some experience.

 Have a lot of confidence and complete it.

If you cooperate with the system to get started, you will be successful in nine out of ten cases.

 At that time, he can refine the elixir and use it to increase the foundation of his soul.

As for the last thing about the underworld, it was considered for Wang Yuan, just in case.

Seeing Luo Chen smile and say nothing, Tian Xingzi also came to his senses.

 The other party wants to acquire other resources they want through cooperation!

By the way, the raw material ratio of the Blood Burning Pill is also hidden.

  It's a clever little trick.

 He took a deep look at Luo Chen, and then carefully put the list away.

“Don’t worry, since I agreed to cooperate, I will naturally try my best to meet the requirements of you and your friend.”

 “To show my sincerity, I will also tell you some news, little friend!”

Luo Chen looked at each other curiously.

 What kind of news can be regarded as the sincerity of the foundation-building cultivator?

 “Foundation Pill!”

“I have already contacted three of them, and they will be sent to Dahefang soon.”

 “Hoo!”

 …

 A low, heavy breathing came from the man in front of him.

Tian Xingzi was very satisfied with the other party's reaction.

He believes that no one can remain calm under such "sincerity".

Luo Chen also realized that he had lost his composure and quickly breathed evenly.

No wonder he was so glum, it was a Foundation Establishment Pill after all!

Moreover, the old man said last time that it was not easy to do.

 In the end, he turned around and told him that he had contacted "Three!"

 It’s three, not one or two!

If it were one or two, Luo Chen really wouldn't have such a big reaction.

 After all, given his qualifications, he was really worried that one or two pills would not work.

 Otherwise, he would not have given the one Mi Shuhua gave him as a favor to Qin Liangchen.

 But three means that he has three chances to hit the foundation building stage.

 Even if it is a donkey, after three chances, it should be successful!

　After working on it for a long time, what others said was "difficult to do" didn't mean one or two, but more!

 Luo Chen's voice was a little dry and jerky.

 “Senior…”

 “Wait a minute!”

Tian Xingzi raised his hand just when Luo Chen thought he had some conditions.

The other party smiled and said: "It took me a lot of favors to get these three Foundation Establishment Pills. So, in terms of price... one five thousand spirit stones, what do you think?"

 The price of five thousand spirit stones, is it cheap or expensive?

That is naturally expensive!

The foundation-building elixir is only a second-level elixir that can break the sky.

 The same second-level elixir only costs three to five hundred spirit stones to start with.

 The Foundation Establishment Pill is sold in pieces. If you give it a price of one to two thousand, you are respecting the attribute of "increasing the probability of breaking through the realm".

At the jade tripod auction, the five major foundation builders only took 2,000 spiritual stones and bought one each.

 However, for ordinary casual cultivators, this price is very cheap.

 First of all, there is no channel to buy it.

 Secondly, even if one or two appear at auction, the transaction price is often astronomical.

The last Foundation Establishment Pill sold for 6,800 spiritual stones!

 Competition is too fierce!

 Finally, this price is completely acceptable to Luo Chen.

He is the leader of Luo Tianhui and the distinguished alchemist.

 Now to anyone, you can say this boldly:

 “I am quite wealthy!”

 Three of them add up to only fifteen thousand.

 Not to mention anything else, he now has a savings of 16,500 yuan.

 After the last auction, his net worth dropped from 20,000 to 9,500.

 One month later, Luo Tianhui earned another 8,000 yuan for him!

At today's auction, he made a few small attempts and bought the Qingying Lantern and Huangquan Pill, which only cost less than a thousand yuan.

 In other words, if Tian Xingzi takes out three Foundation Establishment Pills now.

 Ta Luochen, you can buy it directly now!

 Unfortunately, the other party said it would take some time.

 “Thank you, senior, I am very satisfied with the price!”

“When the Foundation Establishment Pill arrives, be sure to notify me as soon as possible.”

 Luo Chen expressed his sincere thanks.

 Since others have shown their sincerity, naturally he cannot be stingy.

“As long as the materials are purchased, I will definitely ask my friend to refine the Blood Burning Pill for you as soon as possible.”

Tian Xingzi smiled heartily, "Then, happy cooperation!"

 “Happy to work with!”

 Luo Chen left Zhenlong Black Market early without participating in the subsequent free trading session.

 After coming out, I found that the snow on the street had become heavier and heavier.

 This winter may be the best winter ever.

 Luo Chen was very excited.

 After covering up the breath, blend into the dark night.
