Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 191 Foundation Building Ceremony, the Power of a Whisk (Please subscribe)

 Three days later.

 Xiaohuanshan, which had been quiet for a whole year, suddenly became lively.

 Lamps are decorated, and people come and go.

 Between the pavilions and pavilions, there are flowers in abundance.

More monks cast spells to create a misty scene of layers of clouds.

Such a combination makes it look quite festive at first glance.

Looking closely, I feel that it is neither fish nor fowl.

But as a power organization that gathers together as a group of casual cultivators, no one cares about this.

 It’s fun enough!

 In fact, there are not many precedents to follow for the Foundation Building Ceremony.

 Because most of those related to ceremonies come from the sect’s holy places.

 In places like this, the number of disciples can easily reach thousands.

 Just a small generation is building the foundation, and they will not go to war or hold any grand ceremony.

Most of the time, relatives and friends gather together to congratulate each other and then call it a day.

Only after a monk enters the Nascent Soul stage, will he open the gates of the mountain and invite colleagues from all over the world to congratulate the birth of a real person.

 There are only small places like Dahefang and Xuelianfang.

 Get together for Qi refining and loose cultivation.

As long as someone builds the foundation and truly cultivates, it will be a great event.

In order to demonstrate their own strength, at this time, the force where the foundation-building true cultivator is located will hold the so-called "Foundation-Building Ceremony".

 The same is true for Luo Tianhui on Xiaohuan Mountain today.

 Even the invited colleagues were not many.

 More, the internal monks are celebrating together.

 Early in the morning, Luo Chen came down from the mountain.

  Not to show respect for the fellow foundation builders who are coming, but to get together with friends.

 “You really laid the foundation.”

“Unexpected, unexpected, really unexpected!”

 Three unexpected words came out of Zeng Wen's mouth.

Luo Chen said with a smile: "Isn't it natural that you are as talented as me?"

Zeng Wen rolled his eyes and thought Luo Chen was bragging.

 He understands Luo Chen better than anyone else.

When I was at the ninth level of Qi refining, this guy was still setting up a stall at the casual cultivator market in Dahe Nei City.

Five years have passed, and the other party has established a foundation, but I am still standing still.

 “Is this your son?”

 “Yes, he’s handsome!”

 “Give me a hug.”

 Haunted a chubby child from Xiugu's arms.

“Huo, it’s quite heavy. It seems that I will be as fat as you in the future!”

Zeng Wen stared.

But Xiugu said with a smile: "President, Xiaolong is already two years old."

 Looking at the fat child sitting peacefully in his arms, Luo Chen felt that time was passing so fast.

It was just a retreat. Zeng Wen, who had been a wanderer in the past, all got married and started a business.

 Even the child is two years old.

 “Is your name Zeng Yilong?”

"Well, Brother Wen hopes that he will not be a worm like me in the future, but will become a dragon among monks."

 In this way, you have spiritual root qualifications.

 That's right, both parents are monks in the late stages of Qi refining.

Zeng Wen was considered to have good qualifications at the beginning, otherwise he would not have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The probability of a child born having spiritual roots is indeed very high.

Luo Chen teased the child and his eyes fell on Tang Quan, who was standing behind Zeng Wen.

“I heard from Hui Niang that you are doing quite well now.”

Tang Quan nodded respectfully, "Thanks to President for his early cultivation!"

Luo Chen sighed and returned Zeng Yilong to Xiugu.

 How can he cultivate anything?

 The cultivation of Tangquan is completely wrong.

 After refining elixirs for such a long time, nothing was achieved in the end.

 The reason why I am doing well now is that I stopped making alchemy and started to take over the management of the alchemy hall.

 In fact, he has cultivated and reached the sixth level of Qi refining.

 From this aspect, it is quite gratifying.

As Luo Chen sighed, the originally cheerful atmosphere of reminiscing about the past also suddenly became depressed.

Luo Chen was startled.

 Then I realized something.

 He is different now than before!

 After establishing the foundation, there was still a lot of pressure, and his words and deeds put a lot of pressure on people.

 This is evident from the reaction of the child Zeng Yilong.

　　He was very quiet when he held her before, but after returning to his mother's arms, he couldn't help but move around.

But fortunately, this depressing atmosphere was quickly broken.

 “Hello, President!”

 “Congratulations to the president for establishing the foundation, this is my congratulatory gift!”

 The former sound comes from gentle grains of rice.

 The latter voice was an unfamiliar teenage voice.

Luo Chen looked at the young man in surprise, "Lingjun?"

 The young man scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's me!"

 Tsk tsk!

 It will only take a few years!

 The change is so big.

 His voice was different from the childish one before and became more calm.

 “I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Luo Chen took the jade bottle from the other party's hand with a smile.

 “Let me see, what did you give me as a foundation-building gift?”

 Before the foundation building ceremony, Luo Chen told his friends not to give any gifts.

 Given their current level, the things they sent would not have much effect on Luo Chen.

 It is enough to say "congratulations" and express your feelings.

 Under Qu Lingjun’s expectant gaze, Luo Chen opened the jade bottle.

 For a moment, he was stunned.

 A snow-white elixir fell into his hand.

The familiar medicinal smell made him extremely sure that it was a chalcedony pill.

 A low-grade chalcedony pill!

However, it was not made by Luo Chen.

Luo Chen couldn't refine such an "inferior" elixir, and even the cloud patterns were intermittent.

However, it was exactly this that made him feel so shaken!

 “You practiced it?”

Luo Chen couldn't help but say, and there was an uproar in his heart.

Qu Lingjun said sheepishly: "I don't think I practiced it. I had the help of sister Mi Li and brother Tangquan."

 Serious eyes fell on the two of them instantly.

Tang Quan immediately said: "I don't have much to teach, I just demonstrated to him some of the alchemy techniques you told me."

Mi Li was a little nervous, but he spoke calmly.

“I have been studying chalcedony elixir prescriptions for many years, and based on your understanding, President, I just followed the diagram.”

“Originally, I planned to refine it myself. However, after many failures, I still got nothing. Xiao Lingjun wanted to try it, so...”

 Under Luo Chen’s serious face, the others did not dare to breathe.

Even Qu Lingjun, who was fully expecting to be praised by Luo Chen, pursed his lips and stood stiffly.

 After listening to several people’s explanations, Luo Chen suddenly realized.

He is also right. When it comes to the research time on chalcedony elixir, he is indeed not as long as a grain of rice.

 After all, this recipe comes from the Mi family.

 Mi Li was the first to be trained as an alchemist by Mi Shuhua.

 She must have memorized the ingredients ratio.

 What is missing is just proficiency and a little talent.

 In terms of skills, Luo Chen has never taught others.

But when Tangquan was refining Zhongmiao Pills, he did not hesitate to teach some.

What he didn't expect was that under such circumstances, Qu Lingjun could actually draw a parallel and refine a low-grade chalcedony pill.

Looked deeply at Qu Lingjun.

Luo Chen said softly: "After the ceremony, don't wander around. I will look for you then."

 After finishing speaking, he quickly put away the chalcedony pill.

 The figure paused before leaving.

 “I like this gift very much.”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue couldn't help but relax.

Mi Li let out a long sigh of relief.

 The young man standing side by side with her also had a bright smile on his face.

 …

“President, it is my decision to let Mi Li and Qu Ling both make elixirs.”

 In the Huanyu Palace, Sima Huiniang took over the responsibility.

“You were in seclusion for too long at that time, and our relationship with the Dajiang Gang, the Nangong family, and even the Li family and the Chen family became increasingly tense.”

“We don’t dare to disturb you, but the elixir business is hard to stop. So, let’s try to use rice grains, which have some success in alchemy, to refine chalcedony elixirs.”

“Unexpectedly, it was Qu Lingjun who had been doing the trick in the end, and finally refined the chalcedony pill.”

Luo Chen’s eyes were solemn, “How many failures has he experienced?”

Sima Huiniang took out the Alchemy Hall record book, did not open it, but respectfully handed it to Luo Chen.

As Luo Chen flipped through it, she reported everything below.

“A total of seventy-nine times the chalcedony elixir was refined.” “The first thirty-five times, three of them were close to being completed.”

“The first real success was after the sixtieth time. That time, there were seven completed pills and ten useless pills.”

"The bottle of chalcedony pill he gave you should be the one that was refined five days ago. There are eleven pills in it, all of which are of low quality."

 Seventy-nine times.

 Thirty-five, sixty, seven, eleven...

 Numbers flowed through Luo Chen’s mind one by one.

After a long while, he closed the record book and returned it to Sima Huiniang.

"I know, this time, I will focus on rewards. You, Tangquan, and Mi Li will all be rewarded."

 “But next time, no, there won’t be a next time.”

“Without my permission, the Alchemy Hall will not allow anyone to refine elixirs other than those prescribed by me.”

 He did not say what the punishment would be if there was a next time.

But with Luo Chen's always ruthless external style, if someone makes a mistake internally, there will probably be no good end.

Sima Huiniang was startled, and a chill spread from her back.

 She quickly bent down, respectfully.

“President, where is Qu Lingjun?”

Luo Chen glanced at her and said calmly: "He, I have other plans, and I will let you know when the time comes."

"yes!"

 After handling this matter, it is still too early.

Sima Huiniang reported all the things she had accumulated in the past year to Luo Chen one by one.

 She has already made most of the decisions and implemented them.

Now, Luo Chen is also asked to browse through it. If there is something wrong, Luo Chen will naturally point it out.

 It involves some unresolved matters, and it is just for Luo Chen to deal with them.

 “Is it getting more and more dangerous over there in the ghost town?”

Luo Chen frowned slightly. Before he could ask Sima Huiniang, footsteps could be heard outside the hall.

 He stopped and looked at the people coming in.

The first is Qin Liangchen and his wife, who have complicated expressions.

 “Congratulations to the president for establishing the foundation!”

 “Congratulations to the president for establishing the foundation!”

He is no longer the Xiao Luo he was before, nor is he the familiar Luo Chen.

　　But a word of "President" from the heart.

Luo Chen sighed in his heart. He had noticed this tendency long ago.

With a calm expression on his face and a smile on his face, he asked the two of them to take their seats.

Subsequently, Duan Feng, who was taciturn, Gu Caiyi, who looked happy, and Granny Yuan walked in tremblingly with the support of her grandson Yuan Dongsheng.

 In this way, all the six hall masters of Luo Tianhui are gathered together.

 Everyone expressed their sincere congratulations to Luo Chen.

 As for how much envy Xinchu there is inside, it is unknown.

 Luo Chen accepted them all calmly.

 It was not like the conversation he had with Zeng Wen and his family in the outer hall, talking and laughing.

He knew that the change in realm and the gap in status had already unconsciously changed the way they get along with each other.

Those who are as open-minded as Zeng Wen are, after all, in the minority.

That person dared to ask for reward from Mi Shuhua, a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, under the spotlight of everyone.

 Luo Chen knew this very well.

 He still considers these people his friends.

But they will not show it in words. They will only show their friendship in future interactions.

Soon, all the senior officials of the Luotian Club were seated in the Huanyu Hall.

 Only the four positions are vacant.

 Everyone knows who this is for.

 Suddenly.

Luo Chen’s expression moved slightly.

“Hui Niang, take someone out to greet you.”

Sima Huiniang was startled, then she realized something and hurriedly left the hall.

After a while, shouts of praise came from outside.

“Senior Ji Zhenxiu Nangong Jin congratulated Dan Chenzi and gave him a 500-year-old ginseng.”

 After shouting, all the monks in the Qi Refining Stage in the Huanyu Hall stood up.

Soon, Nangong Jin’s figure appeared in front of everyone.

 Behind him was the familiar Nangong Qin.

 “Haha, it’s a waste of money for fellow Taoists.”

 A hearty laugh came from Luo Chen's mouth.

 But he sat there, still motionless, just spreading his hands.

“Fellow Taoist Nangong, please take a seat!”

Nangong Jin returned the favor, and then, led by the maid, he took a seat on the left side of Luo Chen.

After Nangong Jin arrived, the rest of the foundation-building monks also arrived in an endless stream.

Li Yixian, the head of the Li family whose inheritance history in Dahefang is second only to the Duan family, appeared in front of everyone for the first time.

“Senior Foundation Establishment Master Li Yixian congratulates Dan Chenzi and gives him a copy of the second-level technique!”

As soon as these words came out, many Luotianhui monks who were having a banquet outside the hall couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

A single copy of the second-level skills is worth thousands of spiritual stones.

How could it be given away so easily?

This is much more precious than the five-hundred-year-old ginseng that Nangong Jin gave.

However, Luo Chen did not show any surprise at this.

 This is a condition that has been reached privately.

For this skill, he paid a lot!

soon!

Luo Chen saw Li Yixian’s true face for the first time.

Having a beautiful figure, her words are like the sounds of nature.

 But her appearance is ordinary, and among the female cultivators, she is considered an extremely ordinary person.

 She looked at Luo Chen and bowed.

 “I have met my Taoist friend!”

Looking at her face, Luo Chen's eyes flickered and he nodded slightly.

　　Then she deliberately diverted her gaze and fell on the young man behind her.

 Li Ao.

The most outstanding person among the younger generation of the Li family has taken over the position of head of the family not long ago.

Whether it is realm or status, he is not weaker than Nangong Jin's son Nangong Qin.

 Being able to be brought to such an occasion by Li Yixian shows how much this female foundation-building cultivator values ​​him.

“Dan Chenzi, Elder Zhou Qing of the Lianyun Merchant Alliance, I’m afraid he won’t be able to come today.”

As soon as Li Yixian sat down, he brought unexpected news to Luo Chen.

"oh?"

Li Yixian said softly: "Nowadays, the two major Nascent Soul Sects are fighting fiercely outside. The Lianyun Business Alliance is suspected to be the secret agent of the Luoyun Sect and is targeted by the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. Elder Zhou Qing has recently been arrested by the headquarters. Transferred back to Tianlan Immortal City."

Is there still such a development?

Having been in seclusion for too long, Luo Chen really didn’t know what was going on in the outside world during this period.

 It seems that the small-scale friction between the two Nascent Soul Sects has evolved into an affiliated force targeting the enemy.

As for whether the Lianyun Merchant Alliance is a secret agent of the Luoyun Sect, it is unknown.

 But judging from the original ambush of Pang Renxiong in Zhenlong Black Market.

 The Lianyun Business Alliance is among them, and I'm afraid they may also be involved.

While Luo Chen was thinking, his mind suddenly moved and he looked outside.

At the same time, Li Yixian also raised his head and looked outside.

Nangong Jin was stunned when he noticed the synchronized movements of the two people.

 Immediately, I also reacted.

 It's just that his face looks a little unnatural.

Just this momentary difference showed the difference in souls between the three of them.

Li Yixian smiled and said, "It seems that fellow Taoist Wang Haichao has arrived."

After she finished speaking, shouting came from outside soon.

“Senior Wang Haichao of the Dajiang Gang congratulates Dan Chenzi and gives him a copy of the second-level spell!”

 Subsequently, two figures entered the hall.

　　It was not Wang Haichao, but two monks at the ninth level of Qi refining.

 Min Longyu, Li Da.

Luo Chen frowned. This Min Longyu was not an affiliated monk of Lianyun Merchant Alliance. When did he belong to Wang Haichao's family?

 At this moment!

 A violent wave of spiritual power spread, and a blue dragon entered the main hall.

It was so fierce that the entire hall seemed to be shaking as it moved its head and tail.

 But the overall strength is extremely condensed, showing the caster's powerful spiritual power control.

 This move comes prepared!

If you don't handle it carefully, you may be injured at worst, or end up in an embarrassing situation like heavy rain at worst.

 This is Luo Chen’s foundation building ceremony!

If you are soaked in water, you will lose face.

 For a time, everyone's breathing became rapid.

Luo Chen’s eyes flashed.

Flick your right hand slowly!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 A breeze swept by, and the huge blue dragon instantly turned into raindrops and disappeared without a trace.

 What method is this?

Wang Haichao's figure appeared and landed in front of Min and Li, with a look of surprise on his face.

“Fellow Taoist is indeed very powerful!”
