Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 595: The Ten Thousand Immortals Association that does not live up to its name?

The first thing Luo Chen asked, and also the only thing, was about star-level demon hunters.

“According to monks in Shenyuan City and even areas north of Beihai, star-level demon hunters have a great reputation. Why have I rarely heard of this... profession in other places?”

Zhang Jiadi was stunned at first. He didn't expect that the question Luo Chen wanted to ask would be so simple.

After a slight hesitation, he explained: "It may be related to the fact that the establishment of the star-level demon hunter system was too short. In fact, this matter only started in the past hundred years. In addition, casual cultivators are unwilling to participate in the war between good and evil in Beihai, for fear of avoiding the evil. Not as good as that. Therefore, star demon hunters rarely travel around, and it is normal for monks in other places not to know this profession. "

Luo Chen nodded, this explanation is reasonable.

Beihai is vast, with clear distinctions between sea and land, and its territory is larger than other large states.

A merchant ship like the Langya that goes straight to a clear destination will take a whole year to arrive at the Giant Whale Port.

 For ordinary casual cultivators to go from the Ten Thousand Immortals Association to other places, the time required will be even longer.

Teleportation arrays are fast, but as far as he knows, the teleportation arrays in some big cities are extremely expensive. Each use costs millions of spirit stones, and casual cultivators cannot afford such things.

Seeing that Luo Chen did not ask him about the star rating, Zhang Jiadi was obviously relieved.

 Between the blood cloud and the crescent moon, there are two white five-pointed stars.

 Zhang Jiadi nodded in agreement. Monster hunters were actually very common in the past, but they were just a profession that made a living by hunting monsters.

“Can Ten Thousand Immortals be able to support such a complicated supply of resources? Where do those things come from?”

He frowned. According to his understanding, the star-level demon hunters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association are divided into nine stars, corresponding to the third stage of foundation building, the third stage of golden elixir, and those who are outstanding in each realm.

Luo Chen sighed with emotion.

Luo Chen snorted. After all, he was resisting the invasion of monsters head-on and had made great contributions to the human race.

However, the star-level demon hunters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Society obviously have a different meaning.

“Of course, this is just an overview. In fact, there is still a lot that the outside world doesn’t know about the last item.”

 As a qualified listener, he added a sentence at the right time.

“For example, we enjoy some resource exchange discounts within the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.”

Especially the seven, eight, and nine stars at the back, which only a powerful monk can obtain.

　　While saying this, Zhang Jiadi showed Luo Chen his belt.

“Okay, let’s get down to business. Tell me carefully, what are the benefits of becoming a star-level demon hunter?”

"Once you become a star-level demon hunter, you are no longer an ordinary casual cultivator. In the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, your status is automatically higher than that of ordinary casual cultivators. And if you leave the Ten Thousand Immortals Association and go to other places, you will also receive preferential treatment. For example, the most common ones, some You need to pay a fee to enter a large fairy city, and there are also expenses for staying for a long time, and these can be erased directly. "

Black waistband, surrounded by blood clouds, with a crescent moon hanging at the top.

He pursed his lips and said: "The courtesy is more than that. According to the discussion of some high-level monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, after the war between good and evil is over in the future. No matter who wins, the star demon hunters in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association will not be defeated. Later liquidation.”

 “What resources?”

 In other words, the superficial level of a monk is often lower than the star level.

　　Magical weapons and treasures, elixirs, talismans, formation compasses, secret arts and techniques, spiritual pets and spiritual plants, fine wines and delicacies, cauldrons and maidservants... everything a monk needs, from ordinary people to the fourth level, is almost everything.

 It’s just that Luo Tianhui belongs to the low-profile version of Wanxianhui.

“As for those high-level resources, many of them are provided by real people above. They are useless to them, but they are quite useful to us.”

 The resources provided by the Ten Thousand Immortals Association are indeed of various types.

Luo Chen was amazed when he heard this, but he also had doubts.

He raised his head, organized his words, and said bit by bit: "Finally, there is the well-known treatment of monster hunters. After becoming a star monster hunter, you can ask for support from the Ten Thousand Immortals Association when you encounter bottlenecks. What star? There are detailed regulations on what level of support corresponds to this aspect. Generally, we will save opportunities for breakthroughs in major realms, such as foundation building, elixir formation, or what golden elixir monks like you, seniors, are most concerned about. Ning Ying!”

"Go on."

Zhang Jiadi looked solemn and replied seriously: "Of course there are many benefits, the first of which is the change in status."

"Secondly, star-level demon hunters will be treated with courtesy by the three major forces. Isn't it true that the war between good and evil is in full swing today? If you accidentally get involved in a certain war and show your star-level demon hunter's badge, both the good and the devil will look at the situation. Release.”

“There are many powerful talisman makers, weapon casters, formation masters, even doctors and spiritual chefs in our Ten Thousand Immortals Guild.”

 Zhang Jiadi spoke in detail, but Luo Chen's thinking was divergent. From this pattern, he noticed a sense of familiarity.

“The Yuan Demon has been destroyed, and a hundred years have passed, but a lot of new things have come out!”

Luo Chen glanced at him, and Zhang Jiadi lowered his head unnaturally.

Zhang Jiadi smiled and said, "Sir Luo, I don't know something. Our Ten Thousand Immortals Association is known as the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, a holy land for casual cultivators. Naturally, we have abundant resources of all kinds. After all, there are talents among casual cultivators, especially Those casual cultivators who have cultivated to the foundation building and golden elixir stages will not be able to reach the corresponding realm if they don’t have any skills.”

"Two-star demon hunter?" Luo Chen glanced at Zhang Jiadi. Even if the opponent's late-stage foundation-building skills were hidden, he couldn't hide them from him.

 But this A-level was reversed, and his realm was actually higher than his star rating.

Luo Chen listened carefully, especially the last one.

 Wanxianhui?

 Luo Tianhui!

Isn't this the model of the Luo Tianhui that was established when you were refining your Qi and building your foundation?

Recruit casual cultivators from all walks of life so that all kinds of talents can be put to good use. At the same time, he should establish good relations with other major forces and feed back to Luo some resources that the major forces disdain, as well as resources that he will no longer need when he reaches a high level. God will.

“In addition, because it is close to Shenyuan City, the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance also has business dealings with the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, so there is no shortage of high-end resources.”

 “Many, all-encompassing!” Zhang Jiadi became energetic and introduced all the treasures to Luo Chen.

I see!

 Doesn’t this mean that his strength is not enough to support him to achieve a higher, or even relatively normal, status as a three-star monster hunter?

 Something is wrong!

 His body is full of blood evil aura, and he does not look like a weak person.

And because his bond with Luo Tianhui became deeper and deeper, later on, he simply went to Hui Jianzong and established the Luo Tianzong, leaving behind his legacy.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen had some sense of identification with the three Sanren who established the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, even though they had never met.

They have all walked on the same road and can be regarded as "people of the same path".

 Having discussed the major advantages, the rest are the disadvantages.

  Or, another term.

I talked about the rights and interests of enjoyment, and it should be talked about the "obligations" that the star hunting people will do with Wanxian.

When talking about this aspect, Zhang Jiadi looked quite serious.

“First of all, once you pass the assessment and become a star-level demon hunter of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, the first rule is that you must kill the remnants of the Yuan Mo Sect when you encounter them!”

"Um?"

　　　When the city government of Yiluochen heard this rule, they could not help but be stunned and did not react for a long time.

"Wait a minute, you clearly said before that the Ten Thousand Immortals are related to the three major forces. When encountering an irresistible beast tide, the three major forces will also support you. Even after the war between good and evil in the future, no matter who wins, Whoever loses, the star demon hunter will also receive preferential treatment.”

 “Well, that’s what the junior said.”

"Then you can explain to me that among the three major forces, the Mara-ryu has a large number of remnants of the Yuanmo Sect entrenched in it. As you said, isn't this contradictory? Could it be that the remnants of the Yuanmo Sect of the Mara-liu are Are you a fool? You give me food and drink, and you let me take care of you?"

 In response to this, Zhang Jiadi couldn't help scratching the back of his head, feeling a little confused.

“I don’t know, this junior, but the rules are just like this. Maybe there will be flexibility in implementation due to the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves, but in short, the Ten Thousand Immortals Association and the remnants of the Yuan Mo Sect are incompatible with each other.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jiadi whispered: "This rule should be related to the three Sanren who founded the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. It is said that they all have enmity with Yuan Mo Sect. When Yuan Mo Sect was still there, they Hold together to stay warm and resist the pursuit of Yuan Mo Sect. "

Luo Chen frowned. He really didn't know this piece of gossip.

However, the three major Sanren are quite famous, and I already knew that from afar on Lengguang Island.

Those three people, when they were in the middle stage of Yuanying, were known to be not afraid of the great monks of the Yuan Dynasty.

Thinking about it now, there are not many great monks from the Yuan Dynasty in the world of Beihai Immortal Cultivation. How could they come up with such rumors?

 Must have fought against the great monk of the Empress Yuan Dynasty and successfully survived, so that such achievements can be passed down.

A hundred years ago, most of the empress Yuan monks in Beihai were hoarded in the Yuan Mo Sect in the Holy Land.    Perhaps, there is really a grudge?

 Shaked his head, Luo Chen no longer pursued the ambiguous legend between these real people.

"continue!"

"OK!"

 Zhang Jiadi immediately stated the second rule.

This time, Luo Chen was not too surprised.

 The second rule is nothing more than that when encountering a tide of beasts, the star-level demon hunters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association are recruited and must go into battle.

Those ordinary casual cultivators are subject to much fewer restrictions, and they often go to the battlefield only once every few times.

 “Is there any more?”

"There is one last thing." Zhang Jiadi said vaguely: "The income obtained from monster hunting by star monster hunters must be sold through the Ten Thousand Immortals Association and cannot be sold outside."

 Luo Chen understands.

 This is similar to the model of the Luo Tianhui back then, so there is nothing strange about it.

The income from Luo Tianhui's original casual cultivators, whether it was Duan Feng's casting of tools, the income from the alchemy of the alchemists below, or even the income from cultivation by the spiritual planters in the association, all had to be turned over to the association and sold through Jintang Gu Caiyi. , and finally after earning spiritual stones, they will be settled to the people below according to the proportion and salary.

etc!

Luo Chenruo looked at Zhang Jiadi for a while, until his scalp went numb.

Monks of the Luotian Society only turn over their income from production, and mostly handle other windfalls for themselves.

 But the Ten Thousand Immortals Association's side was obtained from monster hunting, and it was forcibly stipulated that it must be handled by the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

 As for the monster resource business... there is really too much room for maneuver.

 The interests involved may amount to thousands or even tens of thousands of spiritual stones once in and out.

 For casual cultivators, this is not a small amount.

 Luo Chen has experienced the hardships of a casual cultivator's life. He spends every day carefully planning for a few spiritual stones, and has to shop around when buying and selling things.

 He couldn't bear to let him be shortchanged by middlemen.

This Jia Di is obviously good, and the body is strong, and the star is not high, what does it mean?

as expected!

 After Luo Chen asked how to become a star-level demon hunter and how to advance to a star level, he understood the real reason for the other party's nervousness.

This junior doesn’t follow the rules!

 Privately sell the proceeds from monster hunting through relationships outside of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

Under Luo Chen’s half-smiling gaze, Zhang Jia was trembling with cold sweat and almost knelt down.

 Suddenly.

Hand put an arm around his shoulder.

 A pair of gentle but tough eyes met Luo Chen's gaze.

"Senior Luo, when I first arrived at the Wanxian Society, I am not familiar with many things. Our couple has been deeply involved in the Wanxian Society for decades, and we are quite well-connected. We don't care about trivial matters. We might as well let our couple serve as guides for Luo. Seniors run around a lot."

It is Zhang Jiadi's Taoist companion Wenxiu. His realm is not high, and he only has the fifth level of foundation building. However, he is extremely courageous. Under Luo Chen's turned gaze, he is still neither humble nor arrogant.

Luo Chen's eyes moved downwards, falling on the opponent's belly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

 Finally, he nodded.

　　“Then I’ll bother the virtuous couple.”

 …

 half a month later.

"Everyone, Qianxing Island has arrived, and this place is already the boundary of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. If you want to get off the ship, please report to the steward and leave directly."

“Next, we are going to Longyuan City under the Fulong Mountains in the hinterland of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. It is estimated that it will take one and a half days. If you have any fellow Taoists who want to go, be prepared in advance!”

 “It takes only a stick of incense to dock and set sail immediately.”

 On the deck.

Luo Chen looked at the casual cultivators who were hurriedly getting off the boat, and asked without looking back: "Are we going to get off the boat?"

 Behind him, Zhang Jiadi and his wife stood respectfully.

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, and Wenxiu said: "That's not necessary. Although there is a demon hunter stronghold on Thousand Stars Island, it only provides registration records for Qi Refining and Foundation Building monks. For example, the senior Jindan Master , only Longyuan City is qualified to register you and issue assessment tasks."

“Do you have a residence in Longyuan?”

"Yes, there is a small courtyard. Although the place is not big, it can accommodate three or five people."

 “Then go directly to Longyuan!”

Standing in front of the guardrail, Luo Chen was in a good mood and quite expectant.

 It can be used as the main city of a large force, so it won't be bad at all.

Maybe his future place of practice will be in Longyuan City.

 Under this expectation, the Gao family's merchant ship sailed quickly.

 About a day and a half later, at dusk, we arrived at a pier.

As soon as he landed on land, Luo Chen couldn't wait to look at a towering giant city in the distance.

With his excellent eyes, he can still see the huge city clearly even from dozens of miles away.

 It’s just that!

 At the first glance, he could not help but frown.

He turned his head and asked in surprise: "Are you sure this is the main city of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association?"

Looking from a distance, it looks majestic and majestic.

As far as the eye can see, the huge city is in dilapidated condition.

Countless vines were hanging on it, and most of a small wall collapsed.

Even if the other walls are intact, the gray and white colors on them cannot be compared with solemnity and grandeur. They are just like old clothes that have been patched.

Not only that, the monks flying boats coming in and out were in a mess, with no sense of order at all.

Even though there is plenty of spiritual energy in it, and it seems to be very suitable for low-level monks to practice, the overall impression is not even as shocking as Luo Chen's first sight of Tianlan Immortal City.

 Zhang Jiadi smiled bitterly, "It's a holy land for casual cultivators, that's what it is."

Luo Chen took a deep breath, waved to Tianxuan, and then flew Fayun towards Longyuan City.

Tianxuan released a burst of magic power, rolled up Zhang Jiadi and his wife, and quickly followed behind.

As he got closer and closer to Longyuan City, Luo Chen's heart couldn't stop sinking.

When he walked to the dilapidated city gate, before he entered the city, his scattered consciousness noticed the distribution of spiritual energy inside.

Although the spiritual energy within it is abundant, it is extremely scattered.

 The strongest one is located deep in the city, and its intensity is as high as level four!

 But in other places, the highest level is only the second level.

 This is not suitable for Jindan monks to practice!

 “Could it be that I’m in the wrong place?”

For a moment, Luo Chen, standing at the gate of the city, even doubted his life.
