Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 248: Rent Rent, Dependence, and the Decline of Lianyun Business Alliance

On Tianlan Peak, in a cave.

 A man in loose robes sat cross-legged.

 His lips seemed to open and close, and as he swallowed and breathed in, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered toward him like a stream rolling backwards.

There is also Ranran Sandalwood, which always exudes a refreshing fragrance.

 Suddenly.

The man opened his eyes leisurely.

 There was a touch of joy in his eyes.

More than a year has passed.

 The effects of the master-level "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" are finally reflected.

 In addition to the initial increase to wood spells.

 In addition, it also has the effect of nourishing one's body.

He could feel that after more than a year, the spiritual power absorbed and refined by the master-level "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" made his body stronger and stronger, full of vitality.

 In the past practice process, Luo Chen had injured his body more than once.

 Such as meridians, such as internal organs, etc.

 At that time, he relied on the elixir and spiritual fluid to repair it.

 But in fact, there are still some hidden injuries.

Now, these hidden injuries are also in operation, and the refined spiritual power is gradually repaired.

“No wonder the name of this technique contains the word Medicine King.”

“I thought it was just named after the Medicine King Sect, but I didn’t expect it to actually have a self-healing function.”

“In this way, I can be more bold in my practice in the future!”

 It is true that Qi practitioners do not care much about the body, but it is also wrong.

 High-level monks don’t care that much.

 Because they have achieved the state where their souls remain in the world and they are immortal.

 But for relatively low-level monks like Ji Zhu, the body is still very important.

Luo Chen has always attached great importance to it.

Whether it is the Peiyuan Spiritual Liquid, the Golden Jade Liquid, or even the health-preserving boxing techniques in Wang Yuan's secret book that he practices, they are all aimed at strengthening his body to avoid major damage during the practice.

 Now the master-level "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" has its own function of repairing the body.

　　It’s like being dozed off and meeting a pillow!

 “Come to think of it, I’m about to break through!”

Surprised, Luo Chen clicked on the attributes panel.

  【Achievement Points: 5】

 Follow the unfolded page.

 Luo Chen discovered that his age had passed by one year, but the upper limit of his lifespan had also increased by five years, reaching 170 years old.

 This is not new.

  But it increased slowly during this year.

 It has nothing to do with the advancement of cultivation. It is passively improved after the master-level "Yimu Yaowang Jing" repairs all the hidden injuries in the body.

 After all, if you are healthy, you will live longer!

 It’s that simple.

 He didn't care about this, but focused on the realm column.

“There are only 13 progress bars left to reach the third level of foundation building!”

With a sigh, Luo Chen estimated how long it would take to break through.

 He used the speed of practice in this year as a criterion.

With the help of the second-level low-grade cave, Shenglong Dan, Grandmaster-level exercises, and even Lieshenxiang, the progress bar will increase by one in about seven to eight days.

 This speed has completely surpassed the initial method of relying only on skills and caves.

 Increased the speed of cultivation by more than twice.

Especially after adding Lieshen Incense, you can run the natal skills twice more every day.

 This is a bit more improved than relying on the Shenglong Pill.

 The process is very trivial.

 But Luo Chen was able to practice quickly with such poor qualifications.

 It relies on these external resources to improve little by little.

 Even, he felt dissatisfied.

“Thirteen progress bars, one will increase every seven to eight days, which means it will take at least three months!”

 After drawing this conclusion.

Luo Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

 For someone who was in the Qi-refining period, he might feel that three months is like a year.

 But after the foundation has been established, this little time just passes in the blink of an eye!

 After determining the realm.

Luo Chen didn’t pay much attention to those spells.

 Over the past year or so, apart from practicing, he has basically spent all his time refining alchemy.

 So much so that his spells have not improved much.

There is only a first-level healing technique, which has gained a lot of proficiency.

 The main reason for brushing this thing is that after the master level of "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing", there is an additional effect of doubling the power of wood spells.

 That’s why he wanted to fill it up.

 Exactly, there is indeed such a condition.

Alchemy Hall currently uses first-level earth fire for alchemy.

This is completely different from the firewood of the Xieyue Valley period and the ordinary fire of the Xiaohuan Mountain period.

 It itself contains great dangers.

 The monks in the Alchemy Hall were often burned while assisting him in refining alchemy.

 The most serious one was even disfigured by the sudden fire.

In this case, Luo Chen simply improved his proficiency in the healing technique, and won a wave of people's hearts by the way.

 Now, there are only fifty proficiency points away from Dzogchen.

 It will take a little time to fill it up.

 Among all the skills, the ones with the biggest increase are those of alchemy!

 Such a large-scale alchemy, the speed at which alchemy skills can be improved is unimaginable.

 After one year, Su Xin Shou is almost complete.

Huanxi Shou went directly from the proficient level, skipping the mastery level, to the perfect level, which is not far from the master level.

 Even the Cloud Transformer Shou finally obtained now has 250 proficiency points.

 The improvement of these alchemy skills.

  It seems that it has no direct impact on Luo Chen’s cultivation strength.

 But in fact, it greatly increased the speed at which he earned spiritual stones.

Now every time you refine an elixir, whether it is Chalcedony Pill or Tongyou Pill, you can shorten the time by one-third.

Even the Jade Dew Pill, which he had just started to make, was shortened from refining one furnace in one day to half a day.

 Even Luo Chen felt that if he could upgrade Huanxi Shou and Huayun Shou to the master level, the refining efficiency of Tongyou Pill and Jade Dew Pill would be greatly improved.

 These two elixirs are difficult to refine because of the small amount of elixirs produced in each furnace.

 As a result, his proficiency level is extremely slow.

 Last year, the refining of chalcedony elixir only took up seven months.

 The remaining five months were basically spent on Tongyou Pill and Jade Dew Pill.

 Especially Yulu Dan.

 There is no way, there is still a requirement to supply Tantaixi with five bottles of Yulu Dan every year.

 And it is obvious that the other party’s demand will only increase in the later period, and he must increase his production.

 “Women, their appetites are always so big and hard to satisfy.”

“The other party can tolerate it for a short period of time, but if it lasts for a long time, if the output is still the same, I won’t be able to withstand it.”

Luo Chen saw it clearly.

Now he can use the Jade Dew Pill to show off his power.

 If Luo Tianhui and Ice Castle are to maintain the current sweet relationship, or even go further, then the production of Yulu Pill must be increased!

  But the elixir has not reached the Dacheng level, or even the Grandmaster level.

 He cannot refine it on a large scale.

 You can only rely on yourself to improve your proficiency little by little.

 It is probably the same for other alchemists in the world of immortality!

It is even said that many alchemists are far inferior to Luo Chen and cannot command other people to help during the refining process. It is difficult to refine a certain type of elixir to a high-grade level, and the output is not stable enough.

 Only those true masters of alchemy can barely compare with Luo Chen.

This!

This is also one of the reasons why he dared to forcefully squeeze the low-end elixir market in Tianlan Immortal City.

Among the Qi refining and foundation building forces, there are no alchemy masters who are good at it.

If they can have a second-level alchemist, they are considered to have a profound background.

“Speaking of which, I don’t know how far the Zheng family has progressed in Rolling Dragon’s Backbone?”

 …

  The second day.

Luo Chen tidied up and was ready to go out.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, he suddenly noticed that the cave rented by Li Yixian was full of people.

He frowned and walked over.

 “Senior Luo!”

As he approached, the Li family monk quickly reacted.

Luo Chen looked at them strangely, "What are you doing?"

The Li family monk was a little embarrassed and pointed inside.

 “The cave has expired and we have to move out.”

 Expired?

 Move out?

Luo Chen wondered: "Did Fellow Taoist Li Yixian not renew the lease? By the way, I haven't seen her this year. Where did she go?"

The monk of the Li family said respectfully: "Ancestor, she is now a worshiper of the Lianyun Merchant Alliance and is leading the family monks to work for the Lianyun Merchant Alliance. She has been away for a long time, so there is no need to renew the lease of the cave here. ”

 Work for the Lianyun Merchant Alliance!

Luo Chen looked stern.

 How dare Li Yixian!

After arriving in Tianlan Immortal City, Luo Chen also sent someone to inquire about the Lianyun Merchant Alliance.

This force with as many as a dozen foundation-building cultivators was indeed the overlord-level existence in Tianlan Immortal City in addition to the major sects in the past!

 His business is spread across more than a dozen large and small cities!

 Even said that Luo Chen also knew that they had secretly recruited a Jindan cultivator named Lu Jiushi.

 However, times have changed.

 Lianyun Merchant Alliance has long lost its former glory.

Because they were involved in the battle between the Luoyun Sect and the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, they were suspected to be the secret agents arranged by the Luoyun Sect in the Jade Cauldron Domain in the early days.

 Hence, he was particularly targeted by the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

Even if the Jade Cauldron Sword Cultivator did not take action, the vassal forces of the Sword Sect were often ruthless.

 To this day, even the Yun Business Alliance only has five major foundation-building cultivators left.

The rest of the people were either killed in the initial conflict, or they broke away from the Lianyun Merchant Alliance and ran away later.

 During this process, Luoyun Sect never helped.

 It can be seen that they actually do not have that deep relationship with Luoyun Sect.

“When Jian Zong suspects that you are a lackey of Luo Yun Zong, you’d better really be!”

It is precisely in this case.

Even when Luo Chen was not yet firmly established, he had no idea of ​​contacting his old friend Elder Zhou Qing. He did not want to have anything to do with the Lianyun Merchant Alliance.

 Unexpectedly, Li Yixian was so courageous!

 Looking at the monks of the Li family who were cleaning up the cave and preparing to leave.

From their faces, they no longer had the arrogance of being the children of the Li family in Dahefang, and Luo Chen vaguely sensed the truth.

 Perhaps, it is forced by life!

Sure enough, when Luo Chen asked them where the Li family lived now, the other party gave the answer.

“We live in Xiaoyun Mountain now. If Senior Luo wants to find my ancestor of the Li family, he can go to Xiaoyun Mountain.”

 Xiaoyun Mountain, a small mountain containing rare spiritual energy.

 Most importantly, this mountain is part of the Lianyun Mountains.

 Hence, it can be seen that it was the Lianyun Merchant Alliance that provided the Li family with a place to stay.

Luo Chen shook his head. He didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

 After leaving the words "Young Daoist Li is back, I'll be with you for a while", he drifted away.

Looking at Luo Chen's handsome back, the monks of the Li family couldn't help but show envy on their faces.

Now the reputation of Luo Tianhui has gradually become famous in the fairy city.

The monks under his command are all radiant and full of hope for the future.

 Unlike them, life is tight.

 Also often go on missions, which poses a huge risk to life.

Who can you blame?

 Is it because Li Yixian, the ancestor of the strange family, is not very talented?

But everyone knows that she has done a good job, and even joined the Lianyun Merchant Alliance and worked hard to earn a place for the Li family to practice.

I can only say that even if they are both true cultivators of foundation building, there are differences!

 …

 On the broad street.

 The flow of people is like weaving, and the flying boats are like shuttles.

 In just the past two years, a means of transportation has been added to Fairy City.

 It is a small flying boat launched by Wanbao Tower, containing three grades: upper, middle and lower.

In addition to flying, you can also go boating in the interior of Fairy City. After its launch, it has been widely welcomed by wealthy people.

However, there are also differences between flying boats!

Like Luo Chen's Langqi flying boat, it is the best.

 When it is large, it can carry thousands of people.

 When he was young, he was very fast and had a concealment formation to prevent passers-by from peeking into his inner appearance.

Even now, Wanbaolou has not launched the second Langqi Flying Boat.

It can be seen that the maid's statement that it was specially refined was indeed an exaggeration.

  Langqi Feizhou itself was refined according to the specifications of the magic weapon. It only failed that it became the best magic weapon.

Driving on the broad street, Luo Chen was still thinking about the Li family.

More than a year ago, Li Yixian’s transmission note was probably when he encountered something difficult to make.

 It’s a pity that I was in seclusion at the time and didn’t get the news immediately.

Luo Chen was helpless.

 Every person has his or her own destiny.

We all came to Tianlan Fairy City together, and the covenant to help each other and advance and retreat together has come to an end.

That time, she and Nangong Jin were asked to help Luo Tianhui, which was to end Luo Chen's kindness to them along the way.

 As for now…

 The flying boat suddenly stopped.

Luo Chen jumped out of the boat, and the boat shrank in an instant and was put into a storage bag.

This scene aroused the surprise of the surrounding monks.

 He didn't care about this and walked to the intersection alone.

“Which monk are you from? Give me a leaflet!”

Yes!

 At the intersection, in addition to the monks from Danxia Temple distributing flyers, there were other people also distributing leaflets.

 Perceived the pressure of Luo Chen during the foundation building period.

 The monk who handed out the leaflets swallowed and carefully handed over a leaflet.

 “We are monks from the Zheng family of Gunlongji.”

“Senior, do you want to know about the elixirs refined by the Zheng family? Although they are all first-level, it would be great for seniors to buy them back for use by the younger disciples.”

“Furthermore, our family master personally took action, and now we can have a stable supply of high-grade Huozhi pills. This is a good elixir!”

“Our head, as a second-level alchemist...”

As he spoke, the monks of the Zheng family became more and more bold.

 Even started soliciting business.

Luo Chen looked at him in surprise.

Such an enthusiastic look is rare!

In the past, he could only be seen among a group of outer disciples trained by Luo Tianhui.

 Unexpectedly, the Zheng family actually achieved this.

 He briefly glanced at the leaflet, which was similar to the one drawn by Luo Tianhui.

Even on the back, the route map to the Zheng family's elixir shop is marked.

 “It seems that the Zheng family also has capable people!”

“Second-level alchemist, Zheng Kejian?”

 Luo Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and things were developing in the direction he envisioned.

He even said that it was because of the leadership of Zheng Kejian, the wise head of the family, that the speed of progress became soaring.

 “That’s good!”

“Let’s see who will have the last laugh!”
