Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 260 Dragon and Phoenix elixir, elixir of elixir

 After establishing the foundation, the main pill Luo Chen took was the low-grade Shenglong Pill.

Relying on the powerful medicine, coupled with the continuous use of medicine, and other auxiliary resources, he went from the second level of foundation building to the third level of foundation building in just three years.

  But after ascending to the third level of foundation building.

 His cultivation speed has slowed down again.

 In other words, it’s not “slow”, but as the realm gets further and further, each stage requires more and more spiritual energy.

 Compared with the increased upper limit, the original fixed cultivation speed will naturally lead to a slow increase in the progress bar.

In this case.

Luo Chen has been trying to solve it, but in the end he still can't do anything.

 The mainstream cultivation elixirs released by various major sects are only low-grade ones.

Even if he has money, he has no place to buy it!

 Fortunately, there is an auction!

“Although it is not a middle-grade Shenglong Pill, the potency of a middle-grade Heqi Pill should be much more than that of a lower-grade Shenglong Pill.”

 “This thing is of great use to me!”

Luo Chen would not miss this opportunity, so he decisively participated in the bidding.

 With abundant cash flow and good auction experience.

Luo Chen quickly took pictures of thirty bottles.

For this purpose, he spent a total of nearly 40,000 spiritual stones.

You must know that this is only a middle-grade Heqi Pill, thirty bottles, nearly forty thousand spiritual stones, which translates to more than thirteen hundred per bottle.

 Another high-priced transaction!

 But there is no other way. If you exchange spiritual stones for time, you have to pay this price.

 After taking thirty bottles, Luo Chen accepted it as soon as it was good.

  He no longer participated in the subsequent seven auctions.

“Although I still want it very much, thirty bottles are enough for me to use for nearly a year.”

“If we continue the auction, it will be easy to offend others.”

 Without Luo Chen's participation, the subsequent transaction price of the middle-grade Heqi Pill was relatively lower.

 However, the auction atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than before.

Each bid was not high, but the price follow-up was fierce. In the last two times, the price went higher again.

Looking at this scene, Luo Chen sighed in his heart.

 He is not the only one who understands these principles.

However, the mainstream cultivation elixirs of middle grade and even high grade have always been extremely strictly controlled by large sects.

 Everyone knows the truth, but it really has a price but no market!

“Thirty bottles can be used by me for a while, but what about after that?”

“We can’t wait ten years every time to take a year’s consumption!”

Although the near-term worries are gone, after experiencing the mind-mirror simulation, he has a habit of looking further afield when looking at things.

I just saw it, but there is no better solution for the time being.

 The auction is still in progress.

 As you get to the back, the resources that appear become more and more valuable.

Like before, monks like Luo Chen and Lu Rong who were in the early and middle stages of foundation building were still fighting for it.

 But now, the monks in the late stage of foundation building are also becoming active.

Even the few Golden Elixir masters started to take action one after another.

Luo Chen gradually fell silent.

until!

 “Brother Luo!”

 “Yeah, I know.”

 The third-level healing elixir that Kang Xianqiong needed appeared.

There were a lot of bidders this time.

Luo Chen spent a lot of effort before spending a lot of money to win it.

"Fellow Daoist Kang, I'm sorry. It cost five thousand more spiritual stones than I expected."

 Kang Xianqiong shook his head quickly, with excitement and gratitude on his face.

“It’s not easy to take a picture of it. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to take this thing.”

 “Thank you, thank you very much.”

Luo Chen smiled and accepted the offer of thanks.

As Kang Xianqiong said, even if the other party has enough spiritual stones, it will be difficult to take a picture of this object.

Such a large-scale auction is no longer just a competition for financial resources.

 Because identity information has been disclosed.

 Many times, the bids made by each other also have the taste of being a favor to others.

 Luo Chen was able to take this object for Kang Xianqiong, in addition to the high price, it was also because he borrowed Luo Tianhui's name and the momentum he had accumulated from several previous attempts.

 Everyone knows he is rich.

  Under the inevitable situation, ordinary people really can't fight him.

 It would have been fine if he just kept asking for high prices, but Luo Chen had the experience of stopping several times midway.

It can be seen that he is not a fool who just raises prices randomly just because he has money.

 In case the price is really raised.

 Luo Chen suddenly stopped wanting it.

 But it is they themselves who suffer the loss.

 After completing his promise to Kang Xianqiong, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel relieved.

 Basically everything you need is available.

 It’s a pleasure to spend money today.

 For the rest, he planned to be a pure spectator.

 It’s not because of lack of financial resources, nor is it because those things are not good enough.

 It’s because many of the participants he can’t afford to offend.

 “The low-grade magic weapon is printed a thousand times, fifty-five thousand times for the third time!”

 “Congratulations to fellow Taoist Liancang from Ailao Mountain!”

 Looking at the magic weapon that made the deal, Luo Chen looked a little envious.

 He knows this magic weapon.

The heavy seal in my storage bag was made with the intention of refining the thousand-fold seal. It was only because of the failure that I changed its name.

 Chongfanyin's attack is a bit clumsy.

 But with a thousand reprints, there are not so many shortcomings.

Envy is envy, there is no way he would compete with that Lian Cang.

 Because the other party is a golden elixir monk!

 It’s not just this one lot.

 Subsequent auctions are increasingly valuable.

There was even a middle-grade magic weapon, which was auctioned off by a golden elixir master from Qingdan Valley for a transaction price of 350,000.

 Such a high price is staggering!

 The people around Luo Chen, Sima Huiniang and Kang Xianqiong were all stunned.

Even Wang Yuan, who has always been calm, rarely lost his composure.

They could not imagine how many years they would have to earn before they could collect enough money to buy such a medium-grade magical stone.

 Besides killing people and grabbing treasures, there is no other way to obtain this kind of treasures.

 Only Luo Chen remained calm.

 It’s just a few hundred thousand spirit stones.

 If he saves for a few more years, he will be able to buy it through legitimate means.

Just like the Golden Elixir Master in Qingdan Valley, didn’t he also rely on the spiritual stones he had worked hard to earn for many years to buy his favorite treasure?

 “Maybe it’s not that hard.”

“Most of the monks who came out of Qingdan Valley are good at alchemy, and they can make wealth as fast as me.”

“The sky-high price that ordinary monks find unimaginable is just water for them.”

 That’s what he thought.

Master Qingdangu Jindan also did the same thing.

 There are three magic treasures bought, two of low quality and one of medium quality.

 The generosity of his actions is far superior to that of the other Jindan masters.

 Time flows slowly.

 At the end when Fairy Junqing took out a copy of Dragon Transformation Pill and Bingfeng Pill, the auction reached its climax!

“Hualong Pill comes from Qingdan Valley, and Bingfeng Pill comes from Ice Castle. Both are third-level pills.”

“Combined servers and combined with my ice castle secret technique can increase the chance of forming a pill by 10%!”

“The starting price is 10,000 spirit stones, please go ahead!”

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was excited!

 In the private room, everyone in Luo Tianhui breathed rapidly.

  Including Luo Chen.

However, he still suppressed the desire in his heart.

Hualong Pill is not difficult to find. It is a specialty elixir of Qingdan Valley and is sometimes sold outside.

Hingfeng pills are relatively rare and are generally only circulated within the ice castle.

  But looking at its price, as a third-level elixir, it is only a few thousand spiritual stones per bottle.

 One piece is only a few hundred spiritual stones.

 The two were combined into one, but the starting price was as high as 10,000 yuan. The main reason was because of the secret technique brought out by Ice Castle. “It can increase the chance of forming a pill by 10%!”

With emotion, Luo Chen said lightly: "Don't think about it, we are not able to participate in this matter."

Several people around him were stunned, but looking at the source of the bidding calls one after another in the venue, they all tacitly gave up the thought that they shouldn't have.

 They are all great monks in the late stage of foundation building!

Chu Kui, whom Luo Chen knew, was also among them.

The ancestor of the Zheng family of Rolling Dragon Backbone, even though he only built the sixth floor of the foundation, he also brazenly joined the bidding.

In addition, there are several powerful beings whose origins he cannot name.

 This is a feast for monks in the late stage of foundation building.

 The early and middle-level monks at the lower level can only watch helplessly.

 The Jindan monks at the top looked on with cold eyes, as if they were not moved at all.

 Finally, this elixir of elixir fell into the hands of a man with red lips and white teeth, and a face as beautiful as a crown jewel.

“That’s Xuanyu, the actual manager of Taoshan.”

 “I heard that he is the face of the Peach Blossom Patriarch of Baihua Palace and is extremely favored!”

Sima Huiniang suppressed the excitement in her heart and explained the origin of the other party to Luo Chen in a low voice.

 After hearing this explanation, Luo Chen suddenly felt enlightened.

 As expected, when it comes to pill-forming elixirs, ordinary casual cultivators can covet them.

Look at the people who were fighting for it just now!

 Most of them have the background of a large sect, either as a collateral sect or as a vassal.

This Xuanyu, although not a disciple of Baihua Palace, is still the face of the Peach Blossom Patriarch of Baihua Palace, and even manages a Peach Mountain on his behalf.

 In comparison, how can other casual cultivators compete with it?

 In sight, Chu Kui's lonely expression was extremely conspicuous.

 Shaked his head, Luo Chen stood up.

 “Let’s go!”

“If you want to participate in the competition for elixir-forming elixirs, it will take a hundred or two hundred years before we get our turn.”

 He sees things freely and freely.

 But others are not so indifferent.

　　When many people left, they were still looking at the proud Xuan Yu reluctantly.

Even if it can only increase the chance of forming a pill by 10%, it is still increased by 10%!

 It is a thousand times more difficult to form an elixir than to build a foundation!

This kind of difficulty is difficult for the parties involved to experience personally.

  You can get a glimpse of this from the very few Golden Elixir monks in the Jade Cauldron Territory.

  In the Jade Cauldron Domain, there are millions of Qi Refining monks and thousands of those building foundations.

 But the number of Jindan monks, the seven major sects combined, does not exceed a hundred!

 This is truly one in ten thousand, or even one in 100,000!

 The reason why there are so few golden elixir monks is that it is too difficult to form elixirs.

Xuanyu now has a pill-forming elixir, and he has the support of Ancestor Taohua behind him.

 I am afraid that in a few decades, there is a high chance that the golden elixir will be achieved.

 At that time, he will be able to truly join the Baihua Palace as the Golden Elixir Master, becoming the fourth person besides the three golden elixirs in the Baihua Palace!

 …

 After leaving the box, Luo Chen, led by Sima Huiniang, went straight to a side hall of Binglan Palace.

 This is a place dedicated to delivering goods, spiritual stones.

 After all, such a large-scale auction involves too many resources, and it is impossible to make a transaction and deliver it on the spot.

 Hence, all the money will be accumulated until the end of the auction, and then settlement will be carried out.

Arriving at the room shielded by the formation, Luo Chen took out 90,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

Twenty-two thousand of them were given to him by Kang Xianqiong, specifically to pay for the third-level healing elixir.

 Other than that, seventy-eight thousand were the spiritual stones he spent on this auction.

“Fellow Daoist Luo, these are your things. You can count them on the spot.”

The person in charge of settlement in this room is an old acquaintance of Luo Chen.

Shi Boying of Ice Castle.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and took the things. He did not pretend to be generous, but counted them carefully.

Shi Boying didn't take it seriously when he saw it.

 Everyone should take it seriously when it comes to such a huge sum of spiritual stones.

  Nuanyang has a warm fragrance and is of good quality. It seems that it was just taken out of Xuyang wood.

 Level 3 mineral materials, no problem.

The ice silkworm futon exudes a faint chill. Just touching it made Luo Chen's thoughts calm down a lot.

 Thirty bottles of middle-grade Heqi Dan, just by opening it, you can feel the rich spiritual energy, the quality is absolutely no problem!

 Gas originates from the same source, second-level body training method. The ban was complete, and after confirming entry into the auction, it was never opened again.

 After taking stock, Luo Chen put these things away with satisfaction.

 “I’m sorry to trouble you, fellow Daoist Shi.”

Shi Boying smiled and said, "It's not a trouble. It's only once in ten years. There's no need for me to take action in the usual small-scale auction."

 Shi Boying, who used to be aloof and unpopular, became more harmonious with Luo Chen as she cooperated with Tantai Xun.

 Always laugh when communicating.

“Do you, Fellow Daoist Luo, plan to leave directly?”

“Yes, is there anything else?” Luo Chen asked curiously.

Shi Boying pointed in one direction and said, "There is a dinner party in my ice castle. Fellow Taoist, you might as well attend."

 “Oh? Dinner?”

“Yes, it is specially used to entertain the foundation-building monks participating in the auction.”

 While Luo Chen was curious, Shi Boying explained it specially.

 It turns out that the dinner after the auction is not specially organized by Ice Castle, but is a routine.

 After the auction almost every ten years, the organizer will hold a dinner involving foundation building and even golden elixir monks.

 The reason is very simple.

 At auctions, the atmosphere is often tense, and people rush to bid, and then those who take the auction regret it and are dissatisfied.

 There are also those whose bids cannot match those of the other party, but who really lack the corresponding resources.

There are even idiots who talk arrogantly and shout sky-high prices, but in the end cannot get the corresponding number of spiritual stones.

 As a result, after the auction, there are always many contradictions and a lot of confusion.

 There are many cases of fighting inside and outside Tianlan Immortal City for certain resources.

 So, the organizer will specially hold such a banquet.

 It can be used to transfer resources at a low price to get back the capital.

 It can provide an opportunity for people who are in urgent need of a certain resource. After paying the spiritual stone, they can also supplement it with higher value resources in exchange for what they want.

Those treasures that fail to be auctioned will occasionally be put up for re-auction.

  It can be said that the presence of this dinner is enough to solve a lot of potential troubles for the organizers.

 Some of the sect’s geniuses will also appear at this kind of dinner.

 Make a lot of connections.

 The last one is Luo Chen’s own extended guess.

“Of course, there are some people who are unwilling to participate and leave quietly, and I, Ice Castle, do not force it,” Shi Boying said.

 After listening.

Luo Chen thought for a while, it was indeed necessary to attend this kind of dinner.

 He is not the kind of person who only practices asceticism. Even if he does not have the resources he wants to exchange, he can still make some connections.

 Since they first arrived in Tianlan Fairy City, he and Luo Tianhui kept a relatively low profile.

Now that Luo Tianhui has stabilized and he has built the third level of foundation, it is time to get to know some people who are of the same mind.

 The four elements of cultivating immortality are the law of a wealthy couple.

 He is always developing in an all-round way!

“Thank you Taoist friend Shi for reminding me, I will attend this dinner.”

Without further conversation, Luo Chen said goodbye to Shi Boying and left the house.

 Going outside, I asked Wang Yuan and others for their opinions.

Wang Yuan had no intention of socializing and planned to go back directly to study the book on the Origin of Gases.

The same goes for Duan Feng, Feng Xia is waiting for him at home.

Sima Huiniang would like to go, but unfortunately this banquet is only for monks above the foundation level.

She has enough status, but not enough realm, so she can't go.

 Kang Xianqiong, however, had no intention of participating.

 After receiving the healing elixir from Luo Chen, he couldn't wait to return to Taishanfang.

In this way, Luo Chen was the only one left to attend the Binglan Palace dinner.

He didn't care either. After bidding farewell to the four of them, he was led by a maid into a side hall that was slightly dimly decorated.

 Perhaps it’s because I came out early.

 When we arrived at the dinner party, there were not too many people, only a few.

With his eyes focused, he saw Chu Kui drinking dull wine at the wine table.

 “Fellow Daoist Chu, why are you sitting alone in a corner, drinking heavily?”

Chu Kui raised his eyes and laughed at himself, "Aren't you asking this question knowingly?"
