Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 247 The one who came is not good, we are the ones who came!

Outside the Danxia Palace.

Zheng Kejian, who originally planned to enter the store to take a closer look, stopped.

His eyes fell on the badge in the lower left corner of the sign.

  Under the golden glow, the three-legged bronze alchemy cauldron swallowed a round sphere.

That sphere is like an elixir and a blazing sun.

 This is the emblem of Luotianhui!

 The design inspiration comes from the founder Luo Chen!

 He is good at alchemy, and has good skills in the Fierce Sun Technique. Luo Tianhui is located at Danxia Peak, which is illuminated by thousands of clouds.

Therefore, such a beautiful picture is formed of "Xia Zhao Dan Ding Sheng Dan Yang".

 This picture was personally designed and drawn by Min Longyu, a master of formations.

 As a formation mage, it is very reasonable that he has some painting skills!

 What made Zheng Kejian stop was naturally not because of how beautiful the sect's badge was.

It’s because, on the right side of Danyang, there is a crystal white flower that seems to be rotating all the time.

　That is, snowflake.

Not ordinary snowflakes, but the snowflakes of the Seven Jade Cauldrons, the Ice Castle!

 The two combined seem incompatible.

 With this feeling of being out of place, Zheng Kejian hesitated in his steps.

 What this means, he knows better than anyone else.

 Because there is also a unique flame symbol on his Zheng family emblem.

 is also so out of place.

But everyone knows that because of this incompatibility, it is revealed that the Zheng family is a vassal family of the Yan League.

 And so on!

“This Danxia Luotian Society is actually a vassal force of Ice Castle?”

At this moment, there was undoubtedly an uproar in Zheng Kejian's heart.

 If this is the case, then all the methods he had envisioned against Luo Tianhui along the way would have been aborted.

Those means may be strong or weak, overt or covert.

 There are those who are upright and upright, and there are also those who are sinister and vicious.

 But everything is based on the fact that the other party is just a helpless small force with no background.

 But now, the other party openly and openly declares that they are vassals of the Jindan Sect.

 In this case, those means cannot be put on the table.

 Because if you do that, you will offend a big Jindan Sect.

especially!

It is still the period when Ice Castle takes turns to take charge of Tianlan Fairy City.

At this time, even if the Yanmeng comes, it will not work.

Even the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect must abide by the rules of the Ice Castle as agreed.

After all, the seven sects jointly funded the construction of Tianlan Immortal City back then.

 During the rotation period of each sect, all the income generated by the fairy city belongs to that sect.

in this case.

Who dares to offend Ice Castle?

 Even if it is just one of their vassal forces!

 There are precedents for the consequences of offending someone.

 Hundred years ago, the Min family, which was at its peak, was no weaker than the Zheng family.

But because he accidentally offended the Yanmeng monks who were on duty in the Immortal City at that time, when he was besieged, the families he was friends with were frightened by the pressure of the Yanmeng and did not dare to rescue him.

 In this way, there was the tragedy of being besieged for a year and destroying the mountains and annihilating the clan.

 In my heart, various emotions such as hesitation, fear, and doubt rise and fall.

 In the end, Zheng Kejian finally stepped into the Danxia Palace.

"Even if I can't take action, I still want to see how you invaded my Zheng family's elixir market!"

 …

 The moment he stepped in, Zheng Kejian cheered up and observed the situation of Danxia Palace.

 Generally speaking, there are a lot of people!

 There are more than a dozen casual cultivators in the Qi refining period in the shop.

 Perhaps choosing elixirs, or asking for information about magic weapons. Some people even sit on chairs by the window, drinking rich and sweet drinks with friends, eating strange snacks, and chatting happily.

This kind of store structure is really strange.

It can even be called nondescript. How can anyone buy something and eat and drink at the same time?

However, it is precisely because of the large number of people that the maids in the store are extremely busy.

So that no one received Zheng Kejian at the first time.

 “That’s fine, I can do it myself first…”

“Is this your first time visiting our Danxia Hall, fellow Taoist?”

 A pleasant voice came.

 Zheng Kejian was caught off guard for a moment.

Looking towards him, he saw a dazzling, beautiful woman walking towards him gracefully.

Zheng Kejian realized that the other party was talking to him. He nodded and said calmly: "This is my first time here. I wonder what special elixirs your store has?"

 Luo Chen guessed it correctly.

 As expected, I came here to ask about the elixir!

Gu Caiyi felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

 She enthusiastically guided the other person to the window.

 “Xiao Lian, serve tea!”

Zheng Kejian sat down subconsciously, thinking that he was just asking and did not need to eat or drink.

Unexpectedly, the other female cultivator said enthusiastically: "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to refuse. We will provide free milk tea and delicious snacks to all customers who enter the store for the first time."

Soon, a maid brought a pure white drink on a tray and several stacks of snacks.

"This is Bailan Bobo milk tea, made from the spiritual spring on Tianlan Peak, supplemented by fish milk produced by Bobo fish, and several kinds of spiritual fruits. It tastes extremely delicious. Fellow Taoist, why not give it a try?" "

Zheng Kejian originally had no interest.

But seeing that the other party sounds nice, you might as well give it a try.

 After entering the mouth, the lips and teeth will produce fluid.

 After swallowing, there is a sweet feeling in the throat.

Not only that, there is even a faint spiritual energy in the body, which soaks into the meridians like spring water.

 He was slightly startled.

  What is this?

So delicious and so refreshing!

 It would not be surprising if it appeared in Zhong Ding’s house or Liu Shang Pavilion.

 But it would be too strange to appear in a pill shop.

“Fellow Taoist, you might as well try these snacks. While you are eating, you can learn about the products of our Danxia Hall. Wouldn’t it be a relaxing shopping trip after your busy practice?”

Zheng Kejian grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth.

 I don’t know why, but this popcorn tastes very good and is full of spiritual energy.

 But he just didn't feel like it.

Why?

 Oh, it’s because they never seem to have these services at the Zheng family’s shop in Longji.

Are these services useful?

 It’s probably useful!

Those casual cultivators who are reluctant to part with spiritual stones and go to Lingyao Pavilion and Qingdan Valley to buy elixirs are the most greedy for petty gains.

 A cup of milk tea and a plate of popcorn are also helpful to practice.

 What's more, there is such a beautiful female cultivator who enthusiastically introduces the elixir.

Where are the monks from the Zheng family?

 Whether you want to buy it or not, go away!

“…Although Zhongmiaowan is good, my Taoist friends look like ascetic cultivators, so I don’t think they need it. You can learn more about it..."

 “No, I need it!”

Gu Caiyi was stunned for a moment, looking at the other party's determined expression, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

“Okay, then leave a whole bottle for fellow Taoist friends later!”

“Do you need to know something about this Peiyuan Spiritual Liquid?”

 “Say it!”

Zheng Ke simply ate the fried beans made from Tiancan cloud beans without knowing the taste.

 Gu Caiyi introduced to him in detail the effects and prices of many elixirs.

  Time, it took a long time.

 But the other party was not impatient at all, but listened carefully.

 Especially on Chalcedony Pill.

Even the usage and taboos were asked clearly, for fear of missing anything.

 In the end, he spent two hundred spiritual stones to buy every elixir in Danxia Palace, including various snacks.

Before leaving, Gu Caiyi personally sent him to the door.

 “Fellow Daoist Zheng, welcome to come again next time!”

Facing Gu Caiyi’s gentle and enthusiastic smile, Zheng Kejian, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart for some unknown reason.

 Why is there such a pill shop in the world of cultivating immortals?

 The quality is so good and the price is so low.

 It just so happens that their service attitude is so good.

 It seems that you don’t know what the dignity of a monk is?

With such an existence, can Zheng's store really compete with them through legitimate means?

 …

The third floor of Danxia Hall.

 In the shadow of the window door, a pair of black eyes stared at Zheng Kejian's leaving figure.

“My surname is Zheng, and he is still in the middle stage of foundation building. Do you know who he is, Sixth Son?”

Xu Xiaoliu, who was standing behind Luo Chen, had a stern look on his face.

“Reporting to the president, I think it’s Zheng Kejian, the head of the Zheng family in Gunlongji. He does have the fourth level of foundation building.”

 “Rolling Dragon’s Backbone Zheng Family…”

Muttering this name, Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xu Xiaoliu said worriedly: "This family is one of the best alchemy families besides the big ones. The Huozhi Pills they refine and sell have a huge market among casual cultivators."

“After we started selling chalcedony pills, it was fine in the beginning, but now it seems to have affected their business.”

“President, they won’t take action against us, right?”

If it were other small sects, Xu Xiaoliu wouldn't care at all.

Luo Tianhui is not as weak as it seems.

 The longer he joins the Luo Tianhui, the deeper his understanding becomes. On the bright side, Luo Tianhui has two great foundation-building cultivators, Luo Chen and Duan Feng, its presidents.

There is also a body cultivator who seems to be only in the Great Perfection state of the Qi Refining Stage, but from other people’s mouths, he knows that the other person has fought against the Foundation Establishment Cultivator several times.

In addition, the president seems to have a wide circle of friends and can call on several fellow foundation builders at any time.

 Even regardless of high-end combat power.

Just the backbone below are also a group of decisive and battle-hardened Qi-refining masters.

 But the Zheng family of Gunlongji is different from those small sects!

This is Tianlan Immortal City, a real old-line cultivating family!

 It seems that the inheritance is only three hundred years old.

 In fact, the opponent already existed in the Yan Alliance long before the Jade Cauldron Territory was opened.

 It can be said to have a long history.

 Even in these years, there has not been a single Golden Elixir monk.

 But within the family, there are also three foundations!

Hundred years of business operation, the vast network of people is definitely not comparable to Luo Tianhui, who has just taken root in Tianlan Fairy City.

 If they want to take action...

 “It doesn’t matter, they won’t make a big move.”

A faint voice came, making Xu Xiaoliu feel more at ease.

 He looked at Luo Chen's back curiously.

Luo Chen closed the door and window, turned around, and walked downstairs.

As he walked, he said:

 “At least, there will be no resort to force.”

 Xu Xiaoliu was stunned.

 Without resorting to force?

 In other words, maybe the other party will use other small means?

It’s just that Luo Chen didn’t explain much to him.

 Go downstairs.

Gu Caiyi has been waiting respectfully for a long time.

“As you expected, that senior indeed inquired about our situation in great detail.”

“With some reservations, I introduced the situation of elixirs in detail.”

Luo Chen nodded, "Well, that's it!"

Looking at the calm Luo Chen, Gu Caiyi couldn't help but ask: "The other party seems to be evil?"

Luo Chen smiled.

 “We are the ones who come!”

 …

indeed!

 They, Luo Tianhui, are the ones who come here with bad intentions.

 With high-quality elixirs, considerate service, and most importantly, low prices.

He entered the first-order elixir market of Tianlan Immortal City without any reason at all!

 What should be worried is the local elixir forces.

 Instead of them!

 As for the possible counterattack by those forces?

 It’s nothing to be afraid of!

 As long as it does not resort to force, it must rely on formal business methods.

 When it comes to business methods, Luo Chen may not be very proficient, but he is no worse than these pedantic and ascetic people.

 Most importantly, elixirs are not just a one-sided market.

 It also depends on the choice of the casual cultivator.

 Because of the wealth and poverty of casual cultivators, the direction of cultivation, the demand for elixirs and many other circumstances.

 Laminations will naturally occur.

 Before Luo Tianhui, the elixir business in Tianlan Immortal City was not monolithic.

There is no reason that after Luo Tianhui squeezes in, they will unite to deal with Luo Tianhui.

 The worst case scenario will be another one.

 As for, which one will it be?

 …

 “Master, we’ve found out!”

Zheng Kejian glanced at the other party and uttered one word: "Speak!"

The monk responsible for investigating the information trembled in his heart.

He hurriedly reported the information collected yesterday in detail.

“What’s impacting our elixir business is a new force called Luo Tianhui.”

“They came to Tianlan Fairy City two years ago and are said to be from the remote Dahefang.”

“This force is respected by a second-level alchemist who is particularly good at refining a first-level elixir called Chalcedony Pill.”

“The earliest Chalcedony Pill appeared in Fairy City was about two years ago, when they came.”

"It's just that at that time it was sold in pieces. Others just thought it was refined by casual cultivators and didn't pay much attention."

“About a year ago, Luo Tianhui began to officially sell chalcedony pills. The main sales points are at Biyou Valley and Danxia Palace.”

“They held a lot of activities, including opening receptions, card applications, discounts, and handing out flyers...”

 Listen to the report of the family monk.

In front of his eyes, it seemed that Luo Tianhui was squeezing into the elixir market of Tianlan Immortal City step by step.

　　From the initial temptation, to the sudden and vigorous attack later.

Every move shows that the person behind it is far-sighted and not just a fool.

 It will be very difficult to fight against such a person!

 Zheng Kejian lowered his head.

 Looking at the pile of medicine bottles in his hand.

 As early as when he came back yesterday, he had already asked the family monks to test it separately.

 The effect obtained surprised him.

 Not to mention other elixirs.

He said that the chalcedony pill was even more powerful than their Zheng Family Huozhi Pills!

 Even said that after comparing it with the Qi-nourishing Pill from Lingyao Pavilion, it is not much better.

Unexpectedly, such a good elixir only costs eighty-five spiritual stones a bottle!

You should know that the price of Qi Nourishing Pill has now risen to one hundred and twenty spiritual stones per bottle.

 The weaker Huanglongdan and Qingdangu sell for 100 yuan each.

Their Huozhi Pills have also risen sharply, raising the price to 100 Lingshi per bottle.

 “How could they be willing to give up so many benefits!”

Zheng Kejian groaned in his heart and felt a little weak.

The elixir is of such good quality, yet it is sold so cheaply.

 No wonder it took just one year to have an impact on their business.

 “The head of the house?”

Zheng Kejian raised his head. He was no longer in the mood to pursue the people below for their negligence.

 The top priority now is to get the business back!

However, we can’t be so anxious.

 Zheng Kejian learned something from the unhurried actions of the people behind Luo Tianhui.

He suddenly asked:

“How are the other sellers of first-level elixirs doing now?”

 The family monk was stunned for a moment.

　　Open your mouth, but have no words.

 “Trash!”

Zheng Kejian cursed lightly, "Hurry up and check it out!"

 The family monks ran out quickly.

 Looking at this scene, Zheng Kejian couldn't help but let out a long sigh in the deserted hall.

The Immortal Cultivation Family has many benefits, strong cohesion, and large numbers of people. They don’t need to do many things personally.

 But the disadvantages are also extremely obvious.

 While supporting them, it also restrains them.

 Especially over the years, the environment within the clan has become increasingly rigid. These low-level monks don't know what they are thinking about day by day, what they are doing, they don't have their own ideas, and they can't draw inferences from one example to another.

 Don’t you know that during the Zhaluotian meeting, you also collected information on other competitors?

 After sighing, Zheng Kejian cheered up.

"These are just minor obstacles!"

“Now that I am personally in charge of the family, these problems can be solved one by one.”

He knew that there was no hope for the golden elixir, so he specially gave the second-level cave to his young son.

 In this way, family resources can be concentrated on the ancestor who built the sixth floor and his son.

But he himself has to shoulder the trivial affairs of the Zheng family and carry the ups and downs on his shoulders.

Zheng Kejian entered the room and changed into a dusty robe.

 In the astonishment of the two first-level alchemists of the Zheng family, they once again set foot in the alchemy room after many years.

“Master, what are you doing?”

Zheng Kejian smiled slightly and rolled up his sleeves.

“It’s okay, I haven’t made alchemy for a long time, I’m here to get familiar with it.”

"You seem to be unable to refine high-quality fire sesame pills, right?"

“Today you can observe my alchemy process and learn something!”

 The two alchemists were stunned, and in an instant, ecstasy filled their hearts.

Zheng Kejian is a genuine second-level alchemist.

 Hands on the low-level Huozhi Wan, he is even more proficient in it.

 With his guidance, maybe they can refine a high-quality elixir.

While Zheng Kejian felt the pressure and started refining alchemy again after many years, the intelligence collection work of the monks of the Zheng family was also proceeding rapidly.

　It was late that night.

After finishing the alchemy work, Zheng Kejian, who looked tired, listened to the collected information.

 “Danyuanmen, Li family, Hu family…”

“It turns out that it’s not easy for them, even worse than my Zheng family!”

Zheng Kejian after listening to the information.

 The big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

In this way, the things he planned during the day will be fully useful.

 “Luo Tianhui, Dan Chenzi…”

 “The rich heritage of our Zheng family cannot be underestimated!”
