Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 249 The third brother is about to die, break through, and build the third floor

On Danxia Peak.

While the monks in the Dan Hall were preparing materials, Luo Chen called Sima Huiniang to ask about the current situation.

　　That's pretty much what he thought.

 The Zheng family in Rolling Dragon's Back has indeed changed their usual lazy attitude.

 In recent times, I have become more and more active.

 First of all, the output of elixirs is higher than before, and it is accompanied by a small amount of high-grade Huozhi Pills. The potency of this thing is not weak at all. The potency of top-grade pills is 30% higher than that of Chalcedony Pill.

Secondly, the monks at the Zheng Family Alchemy Shop received special training and became active and enthusiastic.

Even though she is not as good as the female cultivator of Luo Tianhui Jintang, she is indeed changing.

Moreover, the Zheng family also opened another shop outside Gunlongji and Xiancheng, and stationed people at all times.

 Finally, it’s price reduction!

 They directly reduced the price of a bottle of Huozhi Pills, which originally cost 100 spiritual stones, to 90 low-grade spiritual stones.

Even the precious top-grade Huozhi Pills only sell for one hundred and fifty.

Such a variety of things show that the Zheng family's reaction was huge and their determination was strong.

“They not only want to regain the original market, but also want to expand the market on the original basis!”

Luo Chen said with a smile.

Sima Huiniang was a little worried, "President, if this happens, our development momentum will be affected."

 “Well, it will be affected a little bit.”

“Then, should we take some countermeasures?”

 “No need, just wait and see what happens.”

Seeing that Sima Huiniang was still worried, Luo Chen smiled and shook his head.

“Don’t worry too much, the development speed may be a little slower, but it is developing after all.”

“You have to know that our chalcedony pills have low cost, high output, and the selling price is lower than that of Huozhi pills.”

“Even if the Zheng family cuts prices, it will not pose a threat to us.”

Sima Huiniang suddenly realized.

 But then, I was puzzled.

 “Then what’s the point of them doing this?”

"Meaning?" Luo Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "If you can't defeat us, then of course you have to defeat others!"

Sima Huiniang was stunned for a while after hearing this.

other people?

 …

 Danyuanmen.

Two hundred years ago, a casual cultivator in the foundation-building period was struggling to raise resources for practice.

He founded this sect by relying on the good connections he had accumulated as an alchemist.

Absorbed dozens of low-level Qi refining stage casual cultivators, trained them little by little, and asked these disciples to collect medicinal materials for him, sell elixirs, and earn cultivation resources.

 It’s a pity that in the end, he was unable to successfully form the elixir due to his qualifications and longevity.

As he passed away, the Danyuan Sect was not in trouble.

 When he was old, he accepted a disciple who inherited his alchemy skills.

 And successfully promoted to the foundation building stage, Danyuan Sect has been preserved.

Nowadays, this force operates more and more like a sect, with internal inheritance, masters and apprentices, and carefully cultivated spiritual fields...

Of course, their main business is still the elixir business.

 However, due to the recent attack by Luo Tianhui, their elixir business has also become worse.

 “Master, master!”

 “Good news!”

The head of the Danyuan Sect walked out of the cave and looked at his disciples in confusion.

 “What news made you so upset?”

The disciple looked excited, "The fight is starting, the fight is starting!"

“What caused the fight? Please tell me carefully.” Head Danyuan frowned.

The disciple took a deep breath and said, "It's the Gunlongji Zheng family and that **** Luo Tianhui who are fighting!"

"Um?"

“The prices of the Zheng family’s elixirs have been reduced across the board!”

"What!"

"That's not all. The Zheng family has learned everything from Luo Tianhui and is implementing it in an all-round way. It seems that they want to fight with Luo Tianhui and beat them to death!"

 The head of Danyuan looked happy.

 Walking around outside the cave.

Clap your hands together and say "Okay!"

"This Luo Tianhui doesn't follow any rules at all. Even though the quality of the elixir is so good and the price is so low, it should be severely suppressed!"

“Our Danyuan Sect is weak and cannot afford to compete with them.”

“But the Gunlongji Zheng family is different. They have a solid family background and a profound background. They are now coming forward, and relying on their profound background, they have exhausted Luo Tianhui.”

 “That’s really good news!”

 …

  It is not just the Zheng family and the Danyuan Sect that are involved in the low-level cultivation elixir business.

In addition to the big sects, there are six or seven sects in Tianlan Immortal City.

 The permanent forces include the Hu family and the Li family.

 The other three families are cultivating families in Fangshi, a little further away.

 They also quickly learned about the Zheng family’s activities.

This year, everyone has been suffering from Luotianhui for a long time.

 But unfortunately, the cost of elixirs from each company is very high, so there is no way to easily lower the price.

Now the Zheng family is taking action personally. While waging a price war, they are also competing head-on with Luo Tianhui in other aspects.

From their point of view, the casual cultivators from a small and remote place simply cannot hold on for long.

 After the Zheng family has won a great victory.

 Everything will be back on track again!

 Everyone is looking forward to that day.

It's not just these elixirs, but also those who sell elixirs are paying attention to this war that has no smoke.

Those low-level casual cultivators are also extremely concerned.

 After all, this is something that involves your own cultivation resources!

“Have you seen the people on both sides of the intersection frantically handing out leaflets?”

“Those are all monks from the Luo Tianhui and the Zheng family. They are eager to meet someone and give them one so as to attract guests to their home.”

“I heard that Luo Tianhui’s Chalcedony Pill is as effective as Yaowang Sect’s Qi-nourishing Pill?”

 “Yeah, the price is still low, I bought a bottle before.”

“Now that the Zheng family is taking action, I don’t know how long Luo Tianhui can sustain it? No! We have to buy a few more bottles and stockpile them before they go bankrupt!”

 “Let’s go together, let’s go together, I have a little savings recently.”

 “Fellow Daoist Wang, what about you?”

"I won't go. My practice of Yanyang Jue requires fire-type elixirs. Huozhiwan has always been the elixir I buy. Now that the price is rare, I want to buy a few bottles to stock up."

“Fellow Taoist Zhuo, do you want to go to Zheng’s shop too?”

“No, no, no, let me go to Danxia Palace!”

“But I remember that you are at the ninth level of Qi refining. Isn’t the chalcedony pill just as effective on you?”

 “They don’t just sell chalcedony pills!”

"Um?"

"Zhongmiaowan...forget it, you stupid monks don't understand the secrets!"

 As the dispute between the two elixirs has intensified, each has launched many discounts.

Almost all low-level Qi-refining cultivators in Tianlan Immortal City knew about this matter.

 In this period when prices are rising across the board due to the impact of the war, anyone would be tempted to start a price war.

 Even some people who have often taken pills from other practitioners before.

 After learning about the preferential prices on both sides, I couldn’t help but be very excited and bought a few bottles to try out the effect.

 After trying it…

This chalcedony pill is really round and big, the entrance effect is really good, and it has a lot of spiritual energy!

This Huozhi Pill is also good, with pure taste and better effect than before. It is less violent and angry, which shows that the alchemy skills of the Zheng family's alchemist have improved again!

as time flows.

Luo Tianhui, Danxia Palace, Chalcedony Pill, these names are becoming more and more famous among the low-level monks.

 They are the ones who have brought down the price of elixirs.

　Conscience!

The Zheng family also has a lot of profits, but they just hang out at the door every day and shout about huge sales, which makes some people think that their family is going bankrupt.



However, the major elixir forces that had been watching realized that something was wrong.

 In Danyuan Gate.

 The leader stood up with a slap on the table, a look of astonishment on his face.

“Why was the income last month only 15,000 spiritual stones?”

 The disciple below said hesitantly: "Although there are still three days in this month, the benefits seem to be less."

"How many?"

 “Currently there are only seven thousand yuan.”

Master Danyuan's eyes darkened and he almost fainted from anger.

He swayed and put one hand on the table.

 “Why is this happening?”

“Isn’t Luotianhui closed down yet?”

 It’s not just Danyuanmen.

 Several other companies also noticed something was wrong.

 They don’t know how long Luo Tianhui can sustain it for several months.

 They only know that their income is decreasing every month.

On the contrary, the monks of the Zheng family who were walking outside were all tired, but their faces were glowing, as if they had made a fortune.

 The monks of Luotian Society are still as enthusiastic as ever.

Even if they don’t buy their elixirs, they will enthusiastically recommend other products from Luo Tianhui.

 Milk tea, snacks, fruits, ritual utensils…

 In the Hu family meeting hall. In front of all the clan elders, the patriarch of the foundation-building period had a gloomy look on his face.

 “Something’s wrong!”

 …

In the Tianlan Peak cave.

Luo Chen, who was currently undergoing a small retreat, received information from Sima Huiniang.

 The competitors mentioned above seem to have begun to imitate various operations of Luo Tianhui and the Zheng family.

 “Do they also know something is wrong?”

 Luo Chen smiled and put down the information.

 “Unfortunately, it’s too late!”

With emotion, Luo Chen remembered the scene where Zheng Kejian, the head of the Zheng family, quietly asked him to have a talk before going into seclusion.

 In that encounter.

Zheng Kejian was extremely enthusiastic!

 The communication process was also very harmonious, expressing his admiration for Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was naturally the person carrying the person in the sedan chair. He mentioned that the other party was able to refine high-quality fire sesame pills and how highly accomplished he was in alchemy.

 The result of the exchange is surprising.

 “Our two families, let’s continue competing!”

 “Fight to the death, the more lively the fight, the better!”

“I think we can have a show of glaring at each other and yelling at each other outside the city. What do you think?”

 “It’s so wonderful, so wonderful! Brother Zheng’s plan is the best in the world!”

“What the heck, Brother Luo made up the rumor that he sells magic weapons but also needs to make elixirs, which also makes me sit up and take notice!”

 “Commit, grant, brother Zheng’s move to return the lease of Tianlan’s second-level cave in order to raise funds for alchemy is also very courageous!”

 The two looked at each other and smiled, deciding to continue competing and promoting "cooperation".

 Take back your thoughts.

 In the cave, Luo Chen’s smile gradually faded.

 Such means are nothing.

It's just that the eldest brother and the second brother were fighting, but it was the third brother who died!

　　Before time travel, the drama was similar to the competition between Meituan and Baidu Waimai.

 Tencent 360 gods are fighting, Jinshan and Rising are watching the excitement, but they are gradually declining.

 There are too many cases like this.

As long as the market is big enough and the background of the two competing parties is deep enough, then not only will the two sides not be hurt by persistence, but they will eat up more market share.

Those small households that watched the excitement disappeared without realizing it.

 Zheng Kejian is a very smart person.

 Almost in the second month of the price war with Luo Tianhui, the benefits were realized.

However, this person is a little restless after all.

 As long as both parties maintain a tacit understanding, there is no need for that extra meeting.

 There is really no need to brag about each other in business.

 Failed to get a lower grade!

 Luo Chen knew very well.

Thanks to the low cost of Chalcedony Pill and his superb alchemy skills, Luo Tianhui will definitely be able to survive.

The Zheng family has been passed down for hundreds of years, with one discipline and three foundations, and with the Yan Alliance as its back, it will definitely be able to survive.

 As time goes by, those small and small households will no longer be able to survive.

 They will eventually disappear from the low-end elixir market in Tianlan Immortal City.

 In the end, only the Luo and Zheng families were left!

 “These are just little Doyles!”

 “Cultivation is the foundation!”

His thoughts gradually became empty, and Luo Chen slowly closed his eyes.

It’s only in these two days that I have broken through the second level of foundation building and been promoted to the third level of foundation building.

Ran Ran Ran Ran Sandalt was raised, and the soul was gradually restrained.

 Two Shenglong Dan entrances.

 Swallow one in the belly and hold the other in the mouth, always ready.

The master-level "Yimu Medicine King Jing" is operating at full capacity, absorbing external spiritual energy and refining the elixirs in the body.

 Within the air sea.

Huge medicinal power entered the whirlpool of spiritual energy, and was thrown out during the cleaning process, transforming into wisps of green spiritual energy.

 The nine-layer sky hanging high is like a funnel shape, from bottom to top.

 The first heaven has already been filled to the brim with spiritual liquid.

 In the second heaven, the spiritual fluid transformed from pure spiritual power was also accumulated to the point where it was almost overflowing.

 The difference is just above this "almost".

 With the influx of those Qinghua, it originally took time to purify, but under the huge internal pressure, it began to be purified and transformed at an extremely fast rate.

 Time, I don’t know how long has passed.

 Two Shenglong Pills have already been refined.

 Yimu Yaowangjing is still running, frantically capturing the free spiritual energy from the outside world.

Even though the number of operations has exceeded seven times, Luo Chen still did not stop.

until!

 Tick tock!

 Another drop of spiritual liquid is produced.

This accumulated Qi sea finally overflowed and penetrated into the third heaven!

　　also at this moment.

Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and a breath that was much stronger than before spread out.

With a thought in his mind, the huge aura was covered up by him.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 “It’s finally done!”

 【Realm: 3rd level foundation building 1/100】

Looking inside the sea of ​​​​qi, in the third heaven, there is a faint drop of spiritual liquid blooming with cyan brilliance.

In the sky, wisps of spiritual energy seemed to want to form a new spiritual energy cloud, but they were limited by the lack of spiritual energy and could not take shape for a long time.

 A feeling of "hungry" arises spontaneously.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, but it was not suitable to continue practicing at this time.

 To go too far is not enough, you have to take a rest first.

Especially during the breakthrough process, a large amount of spiritual energy was continuously transported, causing slight damage to his meridians.

This also requires Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing to nourish and repair one or two.

 “I don’t know how long it has been?”

Luo Chen, who was exhausted, slowly fell asleep.

 …

 “Five days?”

Luo Chen, who had put on new cassocks and was full of energy, ate high-quality spiritual meals while listening to Bai Meiling tell him the time.

Bai Meiling’s little head shook.

“Yes, it took Master five days to break through the realm.”

 Luo Chen was thoughtful.

As the realm gets higher and higher, not only the cultivation time becomes longer, but also the time required for each breakthrough to the realm becomes longer and longer.

 Even if the breakthrough comes naturally, it still takes time to slowly break through the level.

This is the last layer of the initial foundation building, which took five days.

What about the middle stage of foundation building?

 What about the later stage?

 No wonder Huo Quan spent several months in seclusion in order to break through to the late stage of foundation building.

If you want to break through the Golden Elixir stage, wouldn't it take several years?

This is not daily practice in seclusion, it is just a retreat to break through the realm!

“It seems that when I calculate my lifespan and cultivation speed in the future, I have to set aside the time needed to break through the realm.”

 A breakthrough in the Qi refining period is just like eating and drinking, it is achieved overnight.

 But during the foundation building period, it was obvious that there was a huge difference.

 Shaking his head, Luo Chen refused to think about these "distant" things.

At least he has broken through the realm, which is something to be happy about. Let him be a little happy for now!

 “Has anything happened recently?”

Bai Meiling held her head high and held her chin in her hands.

"It's nothing! As you said before, try not to let President Sima and others disturb you."

 “Is this so…”

 “Hey, there’s really one thing!”

Luo Chen looked at the other party speechlessly. He suspected that Bai Meiling did it on purpose.

Bai Meiling smiled.

“Three days ago, a very beautiful female foundation-building nun came to your door and said she wanted to visit you.”

 “A very beautiful female foundation-building cultivator?”

Luo Chen frowned.

He knows a lot of foundation-building cultivators, but female cultivators? And it’s still very beautiful?

 Could it be...

“She calls herself Kang Xianqiong and comes from the Kang family in Taishanfang.”

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

He knew the Kang family and had a good relationship with them, and they had a business relationship with them once.

But he didn’t know that there was a female cultivator named Kang Xianqiong in the Kang family.

 Until one day later.

Luo Chen suddenly realized this when he saw Kang Xianqiong on Danxia Peak.

 “It turns out it’s her!”

 “I’m a lucky guy.”
