Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 23 What you did is not big.

　　The sky is high and the air is broad, and the wind and waves are calm.

 On a large ship, Wang Haichao, the leader of the Dajiang Gang, stood on the bow of the ship, listening to the reports from his subordinates behind him.

“Last night we attacked seven strongholds of the Poshan Gang in the outer city and gained a lot!”

“A second-level monster tiger skin, thousands of low-level spiritual materials, and tens of thousands of spiritual stones.”

“The harvest of the brothers is not included in the calculation. According to your command, whoever grabs it shall belong to him.”

 “Gang Leader, we’ve made a lot of money this time!”

Wang Haichao didn't even look back, "It was just a small fight. I drew their attention to the mountains and that's why we achieved this result."

 Sighing uninterestedly, he patted the railing.

“Xiao Gao, how were our injuries last night?”

 The subordinate called Xiao Gao is not tall at all, with a short stature and a fierce expression.

 Wearing a short black suit, the muscles on his arms are highlighted vividly.

"The damage was very small. Only a few dozen gang members on the fourth and fifth levels of Qi Refining died. Those on the seventh and above levels were not even seriously injured. Oh, Ding Yilong was a bit unlucky. He met Wang Yuan who came back from the mountains to rescue him. With the Broken Swordsman, his high-grade magic weapon and spirit turtle shield were chopped to pieces with two swords."

Xiao Gao said with a smile, it’s okay not to smile, but it’s even worse when he smiles.

Wang Haichao smiled and said, "Then his loss is indeed a bit big. Let's give him a high-quality magic weapon for this harvest! Don't let him have a magic weapon to take advantage of when fighting in the future."

 After finishing speaking, he frowned again.

 “The two knives from the Poshan Gang are a bit annoying.”

 There are thousands of members of the Poshan Gang, and nearly a hundred monks in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Like him, the gang leader, Old Man Mi, is a monk in the foundation-building stage and rarely does anything himself.

 Generally, it is the subordinates who do the work.

 There are two knives in the headquarters, and seven man-eating tigers in the seven strongholds.

 Compared to the masters of the Seven Halls, the two knives that bothered the Jiang Gang the most were the two swords.

The mad sword Wang Yuan, the broken sword Xu Renke.

Xu Renke, Broken Knife, has been famous for many years and has been in many cities. Finally, he was recruited by Old Man Mi and stayed in Dahefang.

 But Wang Yuan, the mad swordsman, has only been practicing for ten years.

 In his debut battle, he single-handedly killed several mid-level monks who had robbed him.

 After that, he went hunting in the mountains and had many conflicts with people. In the end, Mr. Mi personally recruited him and he joined the Poshan Gang.

 But after that, Wang Yuan did not do anything earth-shattering.

 On the contrary, he has been doing the dirty work for the Poshan Gang over the years.

 Specializes in selling second-hand magical instruments, exercises, etc. of unknown origin.

 Until recently, when three Dajiang Gang heads were brought back with one against three, no one noticed this man who had been doing dirty work for many years.

 I thought it was just good luck that time.

But no one expected that in the next month, he would guard the mountain road with one sword and kill everyone in Dajiang Gang.

  Masters of the same level were no match for him. Luo Renjie, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, died in his hands.

Even the monks from the ninth level of Qi Refining in the Dajiang Gang took action personally. In a fierce battle, they were no match for him.

In just one month, he had completely established himself as a mad swordsman.

Even the Broken Swordsman bluntly said that Wang Yuan's combat prowess was not inferior to his, and he was even more capable of building a foundation!

It was precisely with the recognition of Broken Swordsman that Wang Yuan became known as the two swordsmen of Poshan Gang.

 Hearing the gang leader’s words, Xiao Gao fell silent.

 As the number one person under the leader of the Dajiang Gang, he has always regarded himself very highly.

 Broken Blade Xu Renke is only 50-50 away from him. If he plays it right on a large river, he is sure to easily defeat his opponent within a hundred rounds.

 But that Crazy Sword, he was a little unsure about.

I heard that that guy is also good at water fighting.

 Why does this kind of character appear?

The seventh level of Qi Refining is so powerful. If he were allowed to practice to the ninth level of Qi Refining, wouldn't he dare to challenge the Foundation Establishment Stage?

“Forget it, we are just doing things for others. Someone will naturally deal with those two knives.”

Wang Haichao stretched and asked casually: "Where is your little brother?"

"I don't know. He said he wanted to get a storage bag. He also participated in the attack on Poshan Qitang last night, but he hasn't come back yet."

 “Aren’t you worried about something happening to him?”

"Haha, I gave him the Wutu shield that you gave me. As long as he doesn't encounter anyone at the ninth level of Qi refining, there will be no danger." Xiao Gao was not worried and added, "And he has a divine walking talisman. As long as he wants to Even those at the ninth level of Qi Refining can't catch up with him."

Wang Haichao nodded, garrisoned the earth shield and added the magic talisman. Below the foundation, no one can really threaten brother Xiao Gao.

"Okay, keep an eye on the recent affairs in the gang. There may be a counterattack from the Poshan Gang, but our help is coming soon."

 A helping hand?

Does he refer to the masters of Lianyun Business Alliance?

 Xiao Gao was thoughtful.

 Dahefang, the inner city, in a small room in the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion, the tallest building.

Sun Shou tore the beef jerky into pieces and put them into his mouth in small strips.

“Although it has no spiritual power, it tastes really good. Xiao Luo, if you don’t become an immortal anymore, you can open a beef restaurant when you return to the secular world. It will definitely be prosperous.”

Luo Chen smiled shyly.

go back home?

 It is impossible for me to return to my hometown in this life.

 He didn’t even know where the way home was.

After finishing the beef jerky in his hand, Sun Shou clapped his hands and opened his mouth with few teeth left.

“Tell me, what do you want from me? It’s not time to pay rent for your house yet.”

 “I want to rent a house!”

"Well, you should rent a house. The place in the southwest corner is too remote and too dangerous. Tell me where you want to rent. I won't eat your filial beef jerky in vain. I will find you a spacious and safe place."

 As he spoke, he picked up a compass.

With the injection of spiritual power, the compass instantly lit up with dense rays of light. At first glance, there were tens of thousands of them.

 But as soon as he touched it with his hand, the dense light dimmed by nearly 90%.

The ones that are still on are the vacant houses in the outer city. Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "Spacious?"

“What’s wrong, you still can’t trust your grandpa!”

Sun Shou is one hundred and twenty-one years old and an outer disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. Based on his age, he is really qualified to be Grandpa Luo Chen.

Of course, Luo Chen didn’t take it seriously either.

 It was just a word or two, but he still called Uncle Chen Laodao every day.

As long as he can really rent a good house for him, he can call Sun Shou an uncle for a day!

 “I want to rent in the inner city!”

 “The one in the inner city, let me see. Huh? The one in the inner city?”

Sun Shou looked at Luo Chen suspiciously, "Your kid used to live in a house with half a spiritual stone for a month, and rent a stall with half a spiritual stone for a month, but now you just change it to one in the inner city?"

 After looking at it, he suddenly smiled.

 The robe is different from before, with a looming evil aura.

 This guy has done a great job!

 Now, I want to come to the inner city and enjoy it.

"Okay, I'm not just talking in vain. You need to see the houses in the inner city in person. I will take you there myself."

Putting the compass into his storage bag, he stood up shakily.

Luo Chen quickly held his shoulders, fearing that the old man would accidentally fall to the ground and die.

I don’t know what sin I have committed. I am very old. Instead of staying in the sect to take care of my old age, I came to work in this remote country.

You should really live and work until you are old and dedicate your whole life to the sect!

"This house is big enough. It's close to Tianxiang Tower. I'm afraid you haven't eaten meat yet."

"too expensive."

“What about this? The previous resident was a sect body-trainer. He can even exercise his body normally. It’s definitely big enough.”

"too expensive."

"It seems you want something cheaper. The one in the north of the city is cheap enough. I'll take you to see it."

 Two hours later.

Sun Shou put aside Luo Chen's hand and said angrily: "It seems that the vote you made is not big enough. Why did you come to the inner city to squander it?"

Luo Chen plausibly said, "There are gang wars outside every day, and I'm afraid I might accidentally end up dead on the street."

 “Okay, I promise you a big house, I will definitely help you find a big house!”

Sun Shou gritted his teeth and took Luo Chen into the depths of the alley.

After walking through the winding alley for who knows how long, a female cultivator appeared on the roadside from time to time, greeting Old Man Sun warmly.

 Suddenly, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

 A room appears in front of you as soon as you enter the courtyard.

　　After entering the house and bypassing the screen wall, Sun Shou walked straight to the longest and widest room.

"That's it. It's a house with the largest area. It can be squeezed in, and it won't be a problem for seventeen or eight people."

Luo Chen looked at this room with satisfaction. The area was no less than his previous house with a small yard.

The only drawback is that there is no lighting and it looks eerie.

 “How many spiritual stones are there?”

“The lowest price is ten pieces of low-grade spiritual stones per month, one deposit and three.”

 Betting one to pay three means that you have to take out forty spiritual stones in one breath.

I have to say, it hurts a bit.

But it is indeed not easy to find such a large and cheap house in the inner city.

If Sun Shou wasn't very familiar with all the houses in Dahefang City, most people would never find this place.

“In addition, you have to pay one spiritual stone for management fee and one spiritual stone for pouring night fragrance every month.”

Luo Chen’s eyes widened, “Management fee, what is that?”

Old man Sun rolled his eyes, "There must be someone to deal with the waste you generate, right? If the neighbors are not harmonious and fighting is not allowed, sooner or later they will find me to coordinate, so I should be rewarded!"

"But."

  “There is no but.”

 “What about pouring night fragrance?”

“You want to imitate the practice of urinating everywhere in the outer city, and the smell of feces and urine is stronger than the spiritual energy?”

All right!

I think!

People under the eaves of the jade tripod have to bow their heads!

 “Oh, there’s one more thing I want to remind you.”

"besides?"

Luo Chen’s fist hardened, but when he thought that the old man in front of him was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he softened again.

 Can't beat, can't beat.

Sun Shou pointed to a pile of firewood at the door of the main house opposite.

"If you want to make a fire for cooking, remember to burn smokeless wood. If it produces smoke, I suggest you rent a smoke-collecting instrument from me."

 “Ah, why is this?”

 Luo Chen was completely stunned.

"Heh, where are we? It's the inner city, a place of cultivation based on the first-order spiritual veins. There is too much turbidity, do you still want to practice?"

 In the world of immortality, everyone must be environmentally friendly, right?

Luo Chen dazedly took a magic weapon from the old man's hand, called the Light Smoke Shuyu Tower.

It is square and peak-shaped, and can be installed at the interior or exterior boundary of the house when in use.

He signed a deed and paid forty-three spiritual stones. This big house will belong to Luo Chen for the next four months.

 When sending the old man off, Luo Chen asked casually.

“Although the lighting is a bit poor, it’s not much cheaper than other houses of the same specification, right?”

 “Guess why?”
