Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 229: Foundation Building Bargaining, Danxia Lingfeng, Langqi Flying Boat, Fairy City Racing

The moment she saw this mountain peak, Shi Lan hesitated.

“Senior Luo Chen, are you interested in Danxia Peak?”

 Luo Chen nodded.

“I heard that on Danxia Peak, in addition to the spiritual land, there is also a first-level earth fire vein.”

"That's true. Moreover, the fire here accumulates in the ground and does not affect the upper mountains."

Shi Lan did not hide anything, but spoke out all the advantages of Danxia Peak.

“The location is quiet, facing the direction of Qingdan Valley, with towering peaks. It can be ranked among the top five among the Tianlan Mountains.”

“There were hundreds of first-level spiritual fields on the mountain, and there was also a green valley at the foot of the mountain, which could be used as a defensive gateway.”

“So, the rental price of this mountain has always been high.”

 Listening to her introduction, Luo Chen became more and more interested.

"How many?"

 “It used to be 15,000 yuan a year, and the minimum rent was ten years.”

 Seeing Luo Chen's thoughts moved.

Shi Lan wanted to sell it as much as possible, but the other person was introduced by Xu Jingnian.

 You cannot kill people indiscriminately.

Therefore, she gritted her teeth and told her bluntly: "I do not recommend that senior choose this place as the sect's stronghold."

 “Are there any hidden dangers?”

“Well, there are indeed many. Danxia Peak was the residence of the Min family of the formation a hundred years ago.”

This is not surprising. Luo Chen and others have known for a long time that Min Longyu and his family originally lived on Danxia Peak.

 Later, I fell into despair.

I moved out of Danxia Peak because I couldn't afford the rent.

Shi Lan sighed, "Later, the Min family provoked a powerful enemy and was beaten to the mountain gate. The Min family was not weak at all. They relied on the large formation to hold on and held on for a full year."

“One year later, the formation was broken and the Min family was destroyed.”

"Originally, this is nothing. The worst we can do is sublet Tianlan Fairy City out."

"I didn't expect that the Min family's formation was connected to the mountain. In that battle, the formation was also destroyed, and the level of the spiritual veins was slightly lowered. The spiritual fields cultivated above were even destroyed. Most of it.”

“It is precisely because of this matter that Tianlan Fairy City has canceled the Min family’s qualification to continue leasing.”

Luo Chen frowned.

He said in confusion: "When I rented the cave house, you all provided protection. Why didn't Tianlan provide protection when I rented the spiritual land and allowed others to cut down the mountain and destroy the family?"

Shi Lan spread her hands.

 “I can’t handle it!”

“Although the spiritual land outside belongs to Tianlan Immortal City, we actually only charge rent.”

“Just the many things happening in the city are enough to make a large family very anxious. There is no time left to take care of the spiritual space outside.”

All right!

This means that we are only responsible for collecting money and not responsible for after-sales service.

Luo Chen shook his head, actually he could understand.

 On the one hand, it is indeed impossible to control it.

On the other hand, it is not encouraging external fights.

In this way, the power of one party rises and falls, and you sing and I take the stage. In the end, the management of Tianlan Fairy City is not the one who benefits.

If you want to live in, you have to pay spiritual stones!

"Another point!"

Shi Lan poked at the vivid scene with the jade ruler in his hand, "Over the past hundred years, due to the damage to Danxia Peak and the high rent, most forces have not chosen this place."

 “As soon as I came and went, there were many daring casual cultivators here.”

“There are even some foundation-building casual cultivators among them!”

Hearing this, Sima Huiniang next to her couldn't help but ask: "Don't you care? No matter what, they should pay the money!"

Shi Lan smiled bitterly: "How can I control it?"

 Insufficient manpower is the most important problem.

Tianlan Immortal City is already very rich. For the spiritual lands outside, it would be better if they were independent forces, but it would be difficult for casual cultivators to collect rent one by one.

“Most of these casual cultivators are cash-strapped people who cannot afford to live in caves in the fairy city and lack the spiritual space to practice, so they take risks out of desperation.”

 “Moreover, many people do not live there permanently.”

“As long as they don’t erect a flag or occupy land to build a clan, we will turn a blind eye.”

Sima Huiniang frowned and said, "If that's the case, if we rent this Danxia Peak, will you send people to clear out the rogue cultivators?"

Shi Lan thought for a moment and nodded.

“That’s fine, just ask the law enforcement team to take a look.”

 After saying that, she looked at Luo Chen.

 “Senior, do you care about this mountain?”

 When she said this, she was quite looking forward to it.

 If it is rented out, it will be much more profitable than other small places.

 Even, she can earn spiritual stones for several years!

 How can you rent Lingshan if you rent Dongfu? The money comes quickly!

Luo Chen hummed at first.

　　Until the other party was happy, he frowned deeply again.

 “I quite like it, but the price is really a bit high.”

Shi Lan said without thinking: "Senior, if you really want to rent, I can make the decision and give you a thousand less per year."

Luo Chen took a deep look at her and smiled in his heart.

On the face, there was a sigh.

“As you said, this place experienced a war a hundred years ago and the level of its spiritual veins has declined slightly, so it shouldn’t be worth the rent it paid a hundred years ago!”

Shi Lan opened her mouth slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

 However, the price of Danxia Peak has indeed been adjusted internally.

Currently, it is far from the bottom price.

 After thinking for a while, she said readily:

“That’s right, I can give you a little less if appropriate.”

"You said that if we want to rent it, the Tianlan Law Enforcement Team will help us clear out the loose cultivators inside?" Luo Chen pretended to be curious and confirmed again.

Shi Lan said naturally: "Yes, renting it out and leaving it idle are definitely treated differently. Helping you clear out a quiet place is what we should do."

“Can I ask what level most of the monks in the law enforcement team are at?”

 “That’s no problem, anyone can tell me if I ask around.”

Shi Lan said proudly: "The current Tianlan law enforcement team is led by my uncle Tantai Hao of Ice Castle. She is a great monk in the late stage of foundation building!"

“There are four true cultivators in the early stage of foundation building in the team, and they are all talented people from the Seven Jade Cauldron Sects!”

“When traveling on this scale, just a few people will just run away!”

 “Senior, you don’t have to worry about this.”

 Luo Chen nodded.

 Then there was silence.

Shi Lan was puzzled. At this point, should he still hesitate?

 Suddenly.

“Inviting so many experts to the event is too extravagant and wasteful.”

“If we clean it out ourselves, can we lower the rent to 10,000 spiritual stones a year?”

Shi Lan opened her mouth wide.

 Small head, big exclamation point!

 She finally realized what was wrong before.

 After a long time, Luo Chen, a true cultivator, has been bargaining with her!

Unexpectedly, she had never realized it before and unknowingly pushed the price limit downwards.

 Especially the last sentence.

The great monks and the four major foundation-building cultivators are dispatched in the late stage of foundation building. It seems that the dispatch comes at a cost, and it is also very high.

 This is normal.

 Hiring a foundation-building monk can easily result in a commission of tens of thousands, which is very common in the world of immortality.

 Not inviting them means that you don’t need to give the spiritual stone.

but!

 This is reasonable help!

Moreover, they just go out and walk around without taking action, and the enemy will run away.

 There is no value in it at all.

 “This senior is really...”

Shi Lan wants to cry but has no tears.

"Senior, the price is too low. I have to ask my mother-in-law for instructions."

 “Well, go ahead!”

Looking at Shi Lan running downstairs in a hurry, Luo Chen added with a smile.

 “I really like Danxia Peak!”

Visible to the naked eye, the girl's figure staggered.

 …

 Until she left Binglan Palace, Sima Huiniang was still a little in disbelief.

Looking at Luo Chen’s free and easy profile, I felt that it was so strange, but yet so familiar.

  Strange because a foundation-building cultivator is so good at bargaining.

 It’s familiar, but it’s because Luo Chen seems to have done this before in my memory, more than once.

At the beginning of the Zhenlong black market, the other party clearly valued Runming Pearl Liquid, but he could not resist bidding.

 Then buy it at the cost price when no one is interested.

 Is this an instinct engraved in your bones?

 She couldn't hold it back after all.

"From 150,000 to 100,000 spiritual stones. President, you are really too..."

 “Too what?” Luo Chen snorted, don’t be too cool.

"so amazing!"

 The woman gave a thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration.

Luo Chen stiffened, feeling that something was wrong. "It's nothing great. If you look at it evenly, it's only a few hundred spirit stones reduced in a month."

“Furthermore, if Danxia Peak is placed there, Tianlan Immortal City will not make any profit. If it is rented out cheaply, Tianlan Immortal City will lose money, but Ice Castle will make a profit.”

 “They will definitely rent it.”

The loss is Tianlan, and the gain is Ice Castle?

Sima Huiniang was thoughtful.

“Okay, let’s go into Wanbao Tower and take a look!”

"Hmm?" Sima Huiniang followed behind and asked curiously: "There should be no shortage of magic weapons in the meeting now, right?"

 “It’s not that there’s a shortage, it’s that there are too many.”

understood!

Wanbao Tower has always had a tradition of recycling second-hand magical artifacts.

As for Luo Tianhui, the number of magic weapons currently held by Luo Tianhui has been overflowing.

As the two of them walked out from the quiet Binglan Palace, the flow of people became more and more crowded.

From time to time, there are also iron cars and puppet cars passing by.

 The hustle and bustle nearby showed a liveliness that had never been seen in Dahefang before.

This seems to be the real world of cultivating immortals.

 Finally, the two stopped at the foot of a huge tall building.

 Three huge golden sail flags hang high outside the building.

 Looking at the three huge flag sails, Luo Chen longed for them.

“Is this the symbol of the three great Nascent Souls of Tianfan City?”

“I don’t know if my reputation will one day spread far and wide.”

 …

 Entered Wanbao Tower.

 Because of Luo Chen’s status as a true cultivator of the Foundation Establishment, a dedicated and charming maid soon came to accompany him.

Luo Chen was not shy and asked openly about the prices of various magical weapons.

 The answer he got did not surprise him.

 The price of magical instruments, sold per piece, is indeed continuing to rise.

 Even, compared to the Dahefang and Taishanfang periods, it is even higher.

 As for the price of recycling second-hand magical instruments, it was beyond Luo Chen's expectations.

 “No more?”

"Yes, senior. Since three years ago, our Wanbao Tower has stopped recycling magic weapons."

 This is strange.

  If it means lowering prices, he can understand.

 But it is not recycled directly. What is the reason?

 But this was the way people did business, and he couldn't comment on it. He just felt it was a pity.

Luo Tianhui has gone through many wars, although many of its magical weapons were damaged.

 But it always collects more.

 He planned to leave a batch of high-quality magical instruments and reward them to the monks in the guild according to their merits.

 The rest of the ritual instruments were taken out and sold.

 In this way, a batch of funds can also be collected.

 After renting Danxia Peak, Luo Tianhui's liquidity dropped from the original 130,000 to 30,000 in an instant.

 If Danxia Peak is to be rebuilt in the future, it will inevitably cost a lot of money.

  If it can be processed in batches at Wanbaolou, even if the price is lower, it is acceptable.

 But the other party actually refused to accept it.

 Shaking his head, Luo Chen's eyes fell on a flying boat model.

"This is?"

The maid’s eyes lit up and she said, “Senior, you really have a sharp eye!”

“This is the new Langqi Flying Boat specially launched by Tianfan City in recent years, a top-notch magical weapon!”

 “The goods just arrived today!”

Luo Chen glanced at her, she was really blowing!

 There are also new models specially launched.

All the best magic weapons are the products of failed magic weapon refining, so why bother to mention them specifically.

This is because you want to sell it at a high price!

 “What’s the function?”

“This boat has so many functions! It can be used as a large flying boat in the sky, and it can be used as a land boat on the ground. It can be as large or small as you want, and it can advance and retreat like the wind. Especially because of its special material, it is not afraid of collisions, and its defensive performance is extremely good!”

  It can be used as a raw material for refining magic weapons, so it will definitely not be any worse.

Luo Chen was curious: "How can you be as big and small as you want, and can you still sail on land?"

“Yes, after all, this is the new flying boat that our Master Jingtingshan of Tianfan City personally refined. The size is just the basic standard of the magic weapon.”

 Real person!

Luo Chen looked solemn.

That's a Yuanying stage monk!

“As for this land boating, it is very practical. It can save you the time of waiting for the bus in the fairy city.”

"Senior, if there is an emergency, you definitely don't want to run away and lose your grace!"

The maid glanced at Sima Huiniang.

“If I have this boat in my hand and can ride in the fairy city, accompanied by beautiful people like flowers, I think so…”

 Before she finished speaking.

Luo Chen said directly.

"I bought it!"

 As for the price, there is no room for bargaining at all.

This is the Wanbao Tower, and it is also a top-quality magic weapon cast by Master Yuanying himself!

It's worth the price.

Furthermore, what Luo Chen values ​​most is the two functions of Ruyi and land boating.

The maid is right.

 In Tianlan Fairy City, the most troublesome thing is rushing.

Although you can run without grace and run close to the ground with the blessing of wind control, it is still too troublesome.

 With this Langqi flying boat, everything is no longer a problem.

 “I am buying a private sports car now!”

 After getting the thing, Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh.

 It was the price, which surprised Sima Huiniang next to her.

Eight thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stones!

This money can buy a top-quality defensive weapon.

Oh, Luo Tianhui still paid for this, not Luo Chen’s personal pocket.

 The reason is simple.

The Skyhawk is almost scrapped and a new large spaceship is needed.

 Besides, it doesn’t matter whether there is a reason or not.

 After leaving Wanbao Tower, Luo Chen did not hesitate.

 Let the Langqi flying boat be released immediately.

 “Come up, let’s go for a spin?”

Facing Luo Chen’s invitation, Sima Huiniang entered the flying boat without hesitation.

Luo Chen activated the covering formation according to the method on the jade slip.

 Subsequently.

Hum...hoo!

The Langqi flying boat quickly flew close to the ground.

The speed is not too fast, but it is definitely not slow either.

  It can be compared to a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, who can fly with all his strength using the Wind Control Technique.

Such a scene quickly attracted the attention of passers-by around him.

A pair of surprised, curious, and envious eyes fell on the flying boat.

“Is this the new bus launched by Tianlan Fairy City?”

 “It’s definitely not so small!”

"private?"

 “It’s so fast!”

“His, if there is such a flying car, wouldn’t it be much more convenient to drive in the city?”

“Hey, dear, I don’t know where to buy it. How much does it cost?”

 “If the price does not exceed one thousand, I would also like to buy one.”

"It seems to be from Wanbao Tower? Is it a newly launched magic weapon from Tianfan City?"

 “Let’s go and have a look!”

What Luo Chen didn’t know was that he was racing around the city and promoting Wanbao Tower for free.

 All he knows is that the Langqi Flying Boat is worth buying!

He glanced at Sima Huiniang, who had a flushed face and was quite excited.

 He smiled and said: "Don't feel bad now!"

Sima Huiniang nodded repeatedly.

She could see the envy on the faces of the monks who gave way outside.

This can also be regarded as a manifestation of holiness in front of people.

“But, if we do this, won’t it be too ostentatious?” After all, she still maintains a cautious character.

Luo Chen twitched his lips and said, "Don't worry, I activated the blinding formation when I came up, so others don't know our appearance."

 “Sit tight, let’s go out of the city!”

"Out of town?"

"Yes! I'm moving to a new home soon, so I have to go see the original tenants!"

Sima Huiniang’s heart skipped a beat.

 Are you going to Danxia Peak?

Just the two of them?
