Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 207 The Huo family gains power in Chichan Mountain (please subscribe)

Luo Chen was not surprised that Kang Dongyue could guess his identity.

 When the words Chalcedony Pill, Danchenzi, Establishing the Foundation, and Dahefang are connected together.

 Anyone who can use their brains can guess that he is the leader of Luo Tianhui.

Nodded, Luo Chen did not deny it.

 When Kang Dongyue saw this, he couldn't help but nodded in admiration.

“It is indeed not easy to practice as a casual cultivator. Having such a force at your disposal will make many things easier.”

“When I come to Taishanfang this time, I think I want to settle down!”

Luo Chen did not hide it and said bluntly: "I have this idea."

“In this case, you may have to perform well in this auction.” Kang Dongyue stroked his beard and said with meaning.

Perform well at the auction?

Luo Chen blinked and fell into deep thought.

Kang Dongyue did not bother him, but sent someone to get the middle-grade spiritual stones and equivalent resources.

The price of the high-quality chalcedony pill discussed with Luo Chen is naturally not the market price.

  It is a purchase price that is much lower than the market price.

 Only in this way can we ensure that they also make money.

However, in view of the current chaotic situation, the two Nascent Soul Sects have become increasingly incompatible, and the prices of elixirs and magic weapons have been rising.

 As a result, even the purchase price has soared to 80 spirit stones per bottle.

After getting the Golden Stone Pavilion, price it at ninety or one hundred and sell it. If you go in and out, you can earn more than ten thousand spiritual stones.

 It’s really a good business.

Luo Chen will not suffer any loss.

 Before leaving Dahefang, he spent three months refining a large amount of high-grade chalcedony pills.

 For this purpose, many of Luo Tianhui's inventories and spiritual stones were consumed.

If you sell them separately, you can definitely make a little more money, but the time cost is too high.

 Under current circumstances, it would be better to collect funds as early as possible.

 Two hundred pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones and 20,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.

 Plus a large amount of top-quality gold and jade liquid.

This batch of gold and jade liquid is enough for Luo Chen to use for a long time. There is even a surplus to reward some monks of Luo Tianhui.

 In addition, there are some medicinal grass materials, mostly gold and stone mineral materials.

 Huanyu also offers a lot.

 The most important thing was that Kang Dongyue told him the news about the method of transforming poison.

 "Qingyuan Miaodan Method"

　　Coming from Qingdan Valley, one of the seven sects of Yuding.

Kang Dongyue did not say how it came about, but it will definitely be useful to Luo Chen.

 After handing over the goods, Luo Chen asked Kang Dongyue for some advice on spiritual practice.

Maybe it’s because he admires Luo Chen, or maybe it’s because he just reached a big business cooperation.

Kang Dongyue was not stingy and told him some tips for practicing in the early stages of foundation building.

 After listening, combine what Li Yixian said at the beginning.

 Luo Chen only felt that he had benefited a lot.

If you continue to practice, you will probably avoid a lot of detours and your practice speed will be a few inches faster.

 “That’s it for today!”

 “It’s really bothering fellow Taoists.”

“No, to be honest, I really want you to stay here in Taishanfang. In normal times, we can also exchange more experiences in alchemy.”

“Whether it works or not depends on the attitudes of the three of you!”

Luo Chen smiled bitterly.

He has come to his senses. If he wants to stay in Taishanfang, it may not be that simple.

 After saying goodbye, Luo Chen drifted away.

Kang Dongyue stood in front of the resplendent attic window of Jinshi Pavilion, looking at Luo Chen's retreating figure on the street.

"Come out!"

"ah!"

 A beautiful figure walked out of the back room.

 “Discovered by grandpa.”

Ignoring the flattering tone of his granddaughter's words, Kang Dongyue stroked his beard and sighed.

"Pity."

“If we don’t build the foundation, we will definitely be a great help to our Kang family!”

 Kang Xianqiong lay down by the window curiously, but could not see that figure in the crowd.

 “He is not from our Kang family, how can he be such a helpful help!”

　　"Conquer, win over, Xiao Yili, Xiao Yili... If that doesn't work, how can we still marry!"

Kang Dongyue said calmly.

 When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Kang Xianqiong with a half-smile.

Kang Xianqiong trembled, "I don't want it!"

“Anyone who refines that kind of elixir is not a gentleman at first glance!”

Kang Dongyue did not say anything to explain to Luo Chen.

 A gentleman?

 In this world, there may be some decent people.

 But it will never come from a place like Dahefang.

 …

 Midnight.

 On the upper cabin of Luo Tianhui's ship.

 A figure fluttered down like catkins.

 At the same time, the wooden door slowly opened as if it had already sensed it.

Li Yixian’s bright eyes trembled slightly.

This Luo Chen has such a keen sense of spirituality that he may have noticed my arrival long ago.

 Enter the cabin, close the door, and sit opposite each other.

“How is your inquiring, fellow Taoist?” Li Yixian asked with a calm expression, unable to tell his true mood.

 Luo Chen shook his head.

 “I’m afraid, it’s not going to be good!”

“Taishanfang may not be so welcoming to us.”

Li Yixian looked at Luo Chen and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, I have talked with the Yu family's foundation-building cultivator here, and she didn't hide much from us."

“There are four small spiritual veins in Taishanfang. Although one of them is a second-order spiritual vein, it is divided between the Kang family and the Huo family.”

“The resources here are far less rich than those in Dahefang, and the number of powerful forces that can be accommodated is limited!”

 Four spiritual veins!

 Sounds like a lot, but it’s actually far inferior to the large first-order spiritual vein in Dahefang.

As far as Luo Chen knows, the number of small branches extending from the large spiritual vein in Dahefang reaches double digits!

That is the real holy land for casual cultivators.

And the main vein, Luofengshan, still has the potential to be upgraded to the third level.

 In comparison, Taishanfang is a little barren.

“Furthermore, this place seems to have been affected by the aftermath of the war between the two Nascent Soul Sects, and the power structure is gradually changing.” Li Yixian said slowly.

 Luo Chen nodded. This was almost the same as what he heard from Kang Dongyue.

 “Huo family!”

“In the past, Taishanfang respected the Kang family. Even if the Huo family was stronger, they still had to respect the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect behind him.”

"But now, it is obvious that the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has gathered strength. The Yanmeng has been a vassal of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect for many years. In order to keep them tightly bound to their side, they gave up some things."

 “Just like this Taishan Square!”

Li Yixian said: "Maybe it's not about giving, but about returning."

"Um."

 Luo Chen approved her words.

 Taishanfang itself is within the territory of Yanmeng.

 For many years, it has been controlled by the Yuding Jiange and the Kang family, and has indeed usurped the interests of the Yan Alliance.

Now that the war has begun, in order to stabilize their allies, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect will naturally give up some things that do not belong to them.

The Huo family has been sending young disciples to the Yan League all year round.



Now that the Huo family has taken the lead, Fangshi's interests will naturally be handed over to the Yan League.

 Power status is changing.

 They came to Taishanfang now, but they chose a very bad time.

“So, it seems that three families are required to agree, but under the current situation, if you want to stay in Taishanfang, you only need the consent of the Huo family!” Luo Chen concluded.

 This conclusion made Li Yixian feel quite heavy.

It is absolutely impossible for all the four major forces in Dahefang to stay.

 It is very likely that only one or two companies will have this opportunity.

 Li Yixian cheered up, "Dan Chenzi, what are you going to do?"

"what should I do?"

Luo Chen read this sentence and shook his head slowly. Looking at it thoughtfully, he finally said: "Let's talk about it after the auction!"

 …

 Three days later.

 Huo’s Auction!

It was not named Yuding Auction or Taishanfang Auction, the name was just marked with the word "Huo Family".

 The purpose is self-evident.

The Huo family in Chichanshan took the opportunity of holding an auction to declare the sovereignty of Taishanfang internally and externally.

From then on, this place was no longer dominated by the Kang family and the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

 As for why the “auction” format is used.

it's actually really easy.

 Large-scale auctions have always been held by powerful forces who have the foundation to do so.

 Small forces can at most run some black market or something.

 It is said to be a black market auction, but it only provides a free trading market for casual cultivators.

Only large forces can contact high-end materials, elixir techniques, and even magic weapons to get their hands on them.

 Going further, you can rely on your appeal to gather many guests to build momentum.

With fewer people, the atmosphere will not be uplifting at all.

 Several people discuss the price among themselves.

 There is no skyrocketing premium, there is just bargaining and compromise.

Standing at the foot of Red Toad Mountain, Luo Chen looked up at this towering mountain with a touch of envy in his eyes.

 The land of the second level spiritual veins!

Even if it is only half of the profit shared with the Taishan Kang family, it is still a second-level spiritual land.

 What he envied the most was that there was a genuine fire vein here.

 And after being arranged by the masters of Yanmeng, the earth fire was drawn out, and it was a true first-level earth fire.

It is said that this mountain is an active volcano, and a first-order monster, the Red Toad, was born inside it.

 Hence the name Chichan Mountain.

 Compared with it, Xiaohuanshan is really far behind.

 Withdrawing his gaze, Luo Chen looked to the side with a vague look.

Wang Haichao, Nangong Jin, and Li Yixian were all preparing to enter the mountain with their respective men.

As for the other endless streams of escaping light, it has nothing to do with him.

 “Let’s go!”

Luo Chen waved his sleeves and rode the white clouds slowly up the mountain.

Wang Yuan, Sima Huiniang, Duan Feng and others followed behind.

Except for Zeng Wen, Granny Yuan, Sima Wenjie and the two new ninth-level Qi Refining monks, a total of five people were arranged to stay at the station.

 All the remaining ninth-level Qi Refining monks from Luo Tianhui were all brought along by him this time.

 There are ten people in total, plus Qu Lingjun, an entry-level disciple.

 It doesn’t matter how much resources are being auctioned, it’s okay to see the world.

However, when we reached the area halfway up the mountain, we could see that it was in front of a newly built palace.

This "world view" is a bit disappointing.

 A dense crowd was blocked outside the palace gate.

 “What’s going on in front?”

Luo Chen frowned.

Sima Huiniang nodded to her younger brother Sima Wenjie, who immediately came out of the queue and trotted to the front.

 After a while, he came back quickly.

“Report to the president, when the casual cultivator was offering the auction items, something went wrong and the passage was blocked.”

"Um?"

Sima Wenjie immediately explained everything in detail.

 It turned out that a casual cultivator provided a thousand-year-old spiritual grass.

 However, due to the self-defeating nature of divine objects, the aura displayed by this spiritual herb to the outside world is extremely dim.

 As a result, an elder of the Huo family only assessed the life span of five hundred years.

 The value of a thousand-year-old spiritual herb and a five-hundred-year-old spiritual herb are hugely different.

 Because of this incident, the monks made a fuss.

Elder Huo's family was still stiff at first, saying that his judgment was not wrong.

As a result, a foundation-building cultivator from the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion passed by, glanced at it, and casually told the specific age of the spirit grass.

 As a result, the elder responsible for the appraisal made a big joke.

Now, the casual cultivator is unwilling to give up. He feels that the elders of the Huo family have deliberately underestimated the value and are suspected of lining their own pockets.

Not only that.

 Some monks who had submitted the auction before also felt something was wrong and wanted to apply for re-evaluation.

 Those who come and go block the passage for casual cultivation.

Now the elder of the Huo family is being held there, and he is a little unable to get off the stage.

“It’s okay, you can follow me on the path of foundation building and true cultivation!”

Luo Chen said something, unfolded the spiritual power fluctuations in the foundation building period, and moved forward.

 Wherever he passed, the casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Period stepped back one after another.

 Many people looked at this strange foundation builder curiously.

When passing by the passage where the casual cultivators' auction items were collected, Luo Chen took a look and couldn't help but shake his head.

Qu Lingjun looked over curiously and said casually: "Master, why don't the Huo family invite a professional appraiser?"

“Is it possible that this is already the most professional appraiser in their family?”

 The one who spoke was Su Xiaolin.

Luo Tianhui is a ninth-level Qi-refining monk who has only emerged in the past two years.

 In his forties, he looks very young, and his personality is quite out-of-the-box.

Just as he was speaking, a handsome young man wearing a red gown came towards him.

"Um?"

 He glanced at Su Xiaolin, his face darkened.

The momentum of building the foundation came over, and the edge was revealed!

Luo Chen frowned and flicked his hand.

The sharp momentum is like waves hitting a rock, seemingly fierce, but ultimately unable to subside.

 “Fellow Taoist, there is no need to be at odds with the juniors!”

The young man's eyes widened and he stared at Luo Chen.

"Who are you?"

“I, Luo Chen, have spoken rudely on behalf of my subordinates, and I will make amends for you.”

 While speaking, Luo Chen raised his hands.

“Hmph, you should take good care of these peasants from the countryside.”

The young man snorted coldly and did not get entangled with Luo Chen.

He passed them by and went straight to the appraisal hut where the scattered cultivator passages converged.

　　Introducing your home address before anyone approaches.

“I, the Huo family, don’t look down on this kind of thing, and lowering the price for no reason is even more nonsense.”

"Thousand-year-old spiritual grass, right? I, Huo Hu, bought it for three thousand spiritual stones!"

Hearing the voice coming from behind him, Luo Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

 A very domineering person.

 Three thousand spiritual stones to buy a thousand-year-old spiritual grass may seem grand, but in fact it is a huge advantage.

Furthermore, other casual cultivators dared not sell him this foundation-building true cultivator.

 Don't think the price will be higher at auction.

 This auction was organized by the Huo family.

   Relocated cultivators must be sold!

“Senior, are you the president of Luo Tianhui?”

 A graceful maid appeared in front of him.

 Luo Chen nodded.

The other party smiled slightly and pointed forward, "Your box is over here, please follow me."

"Um."

 Led by the maid, Luo Chen and the others soon entered a fairly spacious private room.

 Through the open platform, the situation below the palace can be seen at a glance.

The location is pretty good.

 It's just that the arrangements for those casual cultivators in the venue are really not in place.

　Seats are arranged randomly.

 There are some, all in different colors.

Moreover, unlike Yuding Jiange, it also provides free melon and fruit tea.

 In the end, they are just a cultivating family that suddenly gained power, and cannot compare with the magnanimity of the sect.

Luo Chen shook his head and sat down.

At this time, he realized that the atmosphere in the team was a bit depressing.

Following Luo Chen's gaze, Qu Lingjun pursed his lips and regretted, "Master, I shouldn't have said too much just now."

Su Xiaolin knelt down on his knees and apologized directly.

“President, Xiaolin made a mistake and got you into trouble.”
