Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 40 Danshi Fairy Bean

I don’t know if it’s because Fu Xiuxiu has been at home these two days.

Bai Meiling seems to come back a little early from get off work every day.

After coming back, he took Fu Xiuxiu out for shopping or chatting in the yard, making clear and delicate laughter from time to time.

Of course, she would also go into Luo Chen's house if she had nothing to do.

 Watching Luo Chen build the alchemy room bit by bit, there was an expression of admiration in his eyes.

"With your skills, even if you can no longer make alchemy in the future, you can still go to Ailao Mountain to find a job."

 “Ailao Mountain? What is it for?”

“The Jindan Sect in the Jade Cauldron Region specializes in various minerals. At the same time, this sect is very good at building houses. Didn’t you buy these bricks and stones from Xianzhuju, a store directly under Ailao Mountain?”

 Is Xianzhuju the property of Ailao Mountain?

Luo Chen really doesn’t know about this.

 In other words, he didn’t know much about the Ailaoshan sect.

Bai Meiling explained to him casually, and then he realized that Ailao Mountain was prosperous in the Jade Cauldron Territory.

The casual cultivators don't pay much attention to where they live. They can live happily in a wooden house or a cave.

But the monks from the sect with strong financial resources are not so willing.

 Their residential caves are often carefully designed.

 From lighting to the medicine garden and alchemy room, we must choose a good place and use good materials to build it.

 Especially in large buildings, there are even more doorways inside.

 It can be as large as a mountain gate or cave or as small as a city building. Not only is the house built and the floor laid, the entire large-scale formation is complete.

 How to match spiritual wood, the penetration and accumulation of spiritual energy by minerals, and the impact of Feng Shui orientation on monks’ long-term residence.

 Even whether the floor is suitable for taking off and landing of large spaceships must be considered.

 Some famous grand formations were specially set up, not only to integrate with the mountains and rivers, but also to integrate with the buildings to the point where they can take advantage of each other.

In the past three hundred years, after the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect established this area, it has ushered in vigorous development and construction.

During this huge development and construction process, Ailaoshan actually contracted many projects and made a lot of money.

“Our early construction in Dahefang City, from layout design to construction implementation, was all handled by Ailaoshan.”

“It is rumored that in the Shengong City in Ailao Mountain, the price of any cave abode starts at 100,000 spirit stones, and it only lasts for seventy years.”

After listening to Bai Meiling's explanation, Luo Chenna was really stunned.

 The real estate industry in the world of immortality is also so promising!

 No, I will have to ask the experts from Ailao Mountain to redesign it once I have the spirit stone.

“By the way, is there any conflict between Sister Xiuxiu and Sister Caiyi?” Luo Chen curiously inquired about the gossip.

 Things between women are very troublesome and he doesn’t want to get involved.

 But gossip between women always sounds interesting.

Bai Meiling tilted her little head, "There is no contradiction!"

“Sister Xiuxiu is very gentle, normal and kind, and rarely has conflicts with others.”

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, "Then why did Sister Xiuxiu seem uncomfortable when I mentioned Sister Caiyi?"

“Oh, that’s what you’re talking about!” Bai Meiling smacked her lips and waved her hand, “It’s not Sister Xiuxiu and Taoist monk who caused the trouble.”

 Fu Xiuxiu had a Taoist partner before?

Luo Chen became interested instantly.

“Sister Xiuxiu’s Taoist companion is an inner disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. However, due to the failure in building the foundation, he transferred to the outer sect as a deacon.”

“The deacons of the outer sect cannot concentrate on cultivating the cultivation, so they need to be sent out to various places to handle various industries for the sect.”

“That man came to Dahefang City and met Sister Xiuxiu, who was still a casual cultivator, and the two became a Taoist couple.”

Bai Meiling shook her head as she spoke.

“However, this person failed to build the foundation and his Taoist heart was damaged. Later, he indulged in enjoyment. Even with Sister Xiuxiu, he often went to Tianxiang Tower to spend the night.”

“One morning, he died in an embroidery building in Tianxiang Tower.”

“Senior Sun Shou personally went to bring the corpse back.”

Died under the peonies, is it still romantic to be a ghost?

Luo Chen couldn't help but give a thumbs up, he is a role model for our generation.

“Since then, Sister Xiuxiu has not been very fond of people and things related to Tianxiang Building. And Sister Caiyi works there, so she may be a little moved by the scene, so she doesn’t like Sister Caiyi very much!”

 Bai Meiling explained the reasons one by one, and Luo Chen suddenly realized it.

 Hate the house and the bird, this is almost the case.

 Satisfied Luo Chen's curiosity, Bai Meiling also remembered her own problem.

“Can the Fire Dog Whip also be used to refine high-grade Bigu Pill?”

Luo Chen quickly pushed her out, "I'm going to be busy, it will smell very bad later!"

“Hey, remember to open the light smoke and rain building, otherwise I will complain.”

Bai Meiling pinched her nose and ran away in disgust.

With a burst of spiritual power, Luo Chen started the range hood, and took out the Ziyun copper stove from the storage bag.

Dang!

“The capacity of one square is still a bit small. It would be great if there were storage bags with three, five, or even one hundred square meters.”

 In the end, it is still a first-level low-grade magic weapon, and it cannot be as big or small as desired.

This Ziyun copper stove alone takes up almost 80% of the space in his storage bag.

 There was nothing we could do before, the medicinal materials were stuffed inside the stove.

 If you don’t release it, the main ingredients will lose their flavor.

 Carefully place the Ziyun copper stove above the fire pit, and then add water.

 Took a bundle of yellowed green steel wood and stuffed it underneath, then inserted a fireball spell, and the wood slowly started to burn.

  After changing the alchemy equipment, the peach wood and red cedar wood that were commonly used in the past are no longer suitable.

The firepower that those two kinds of firewood can release is too small. It will take an unknown amount of time to heat the purple cloud copper stove.

 Hence, Luo Chen specially purchased the expensive green steel wood. This first-order spiritual wood contains oil and can release considerable heat when ignited.

"It is rumored that high-level monks make elixirs either by using the elixir fire in their bodies, or by borrowing the earthly fire and heavenly fire between heaven and earth. I don't know when I can use that method?"

After muttering a few words and making sure that the insulation of the fire pit was ok, Luo Chen turned around and left the alchemy room.

Let’s burn the alchemy furnace first, heat the furnace, and burn out some of the medicinal gas hidden in it.

These operations are all based on experience.

When Miss Xiangxiang sold her stove, she also gave these instructions in the booklet she left behind.

 Burning the furnace is only the first step. The next step is to test the furnace. Once you are familiar with it, you can refining it with confidence.

 In the past two days, let’s deal with the medicinal materials first!

 Crackling!

Bumping, clicking, clicking!

"what sound?"

 Lazy doubts came from outside. Luo Chen opened the stone door of the alchemy room and walked out in disgrace.

Gu Caiyi couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw his embarrassed appearance.

“What are you doing? And why is there a separate room in your house?”

 Hurrah!

Luo Chen fanned himself and applied a cleaning technique on himself.

It exploded with a bang, and all the dust on his body flew away, causing Gu Caiyi to quickly avoid it.

He came to the water vat, scooped out a large ladle of cold water and poured it down, and then he regained his breath.

“Damn it, no wonder all famous alchemists are equipped with fire-watching boys. This alchemy room is not a place where we often stay.”

 After cursing, he had time to explain to Gu Caiyi.

“This is my new alchemy room, how about it, it’s okay!”

Gu Caiyi waved his hand and shook off the dust around him.

“Yes, it’s okay. I suggest you stay in there every day.”

Luo Chen's face turned pale, but he didn't take it seriously. "I was testing the stove and fried some fairy beans. Do you want to eat them?"

 “Fairy beans?”

Luo Chen got into the alchemy room and quickly brought out a plate of golden beans.

The beans have shells, but they have cracked during the high-temperature stir-frying process.

As long as you peel it off gently, the white kernels inside will be revealed.

"It's a bitter hazelnut!" Gu Caiyi picked up one hesitantly, "This thing is very bitter, can you eat it?"

"Just try and you will find out."

Luo Chen had already peeled off the shells and stuffed several pieces into his mouth.

Gu Caiyi peeled off the golden shell and put the tender white kernel into her mouth.

The red lips wriggled slightly, and the eyes slowly lit up.

 “Oh, that’s good! How did you fry it? It tastes so fragrant and crispy, and it also has a little spiritual energy.”

Luo Chen said sullenly: "Exclusive secret recipe, no comment!"

Gu Caiyi rolled her eyes at him and snatched the plate of fairy beans.

Luo Chen didn't care. He added a bucket of water to the Ziyun Copper Stove and then carried a small kettle out the door.

In the yard, Gu Caiyi was sitting on the children's swing where Xiaohu usually sat. He held the plate of fairy beans in his hand and peeled off one of them.

Opposite her, Luo Chen was holding a small kettle and watering a row of potted plants one by one.

“These are Fu Xiuxiu’s flowers and plants!”

Luo Chen hummed and checked the two pots of spiritual plants that Sister Xiuxiu specially ordered to make sure there was nothing wrong.

 Four days have passed since the last dinner party.

 Fu Xiuxiu's holiday was over and she returned to work at Shenfu Pavilion. She only had one day off a month.

 I was promoted to manager some time ago and spent a long time in Shenfu Pavilion, only to accumulate three days of vacation.

 Before leaving, these flowers and plants were entrusted to Luo Chen to take care of.

“You’re a familiar girl. We just met her, so you tricked her into getting these flowers and plants.”

"Don't talk nonsense! How can things between neighbors be called cheating?"

“Tch, I saw it just now. You put the pot of moonlight grass on the bedside. You must be secretly practicing hard every night!”

Luo Chen blushed, why is this woman's eyes so sharp!

But don’t tell me, the effect of moonlight grass is really good. Although it is not as good as Anshen Incense, it is still one-tenth of the effect.

 His maximum limit for operating the Changchun Gong has been increased once in the past two nights.

 After practicing every day, I feel even more energetic when I wake up in the morning!

Even with the daily spell proficiency grinding, it keeps rising, and several spells have broken through new levels.

Luo Chen quickly changed the subject, "Why didn't I see you back a few days ago?"

“Hey, wait, what’s your cultivation level?”

 Gu Caiyi pursed her lips and smiled. The narrow swing held her plump hips, which contrasted with her slender waist, creating an exaggerated visual effect.

“You’ve discovered it, I’ve reached the ninth level of Qi refining!”
