Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 618 The master is famous and his old friend has arrived

Although Longyuan Immortal City is ruined, its area is very large.

There is a mountain inside it, and there is a temple on the mountain. It is said that Master Long Yuan practiced in it.

 At the foot of the mountain, there is a continuous group of newly built palaces.

 The headquarters of the Monster Hunting Department is located here.

However, it is obvious that as the date of the Longyuan Auction approaches, the Monster Hunting Department will no longer be the protagonist.

The real protagonist becomes Master Huo Fang, the deputy city lord of Longyuan Immortal City.

His realm is advanced, and he is a rare ninth-level golden elixir monk among the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. He is on par with the three eight-star demon hunters of the Demon Hunting Department.

At this moment, Huo Fang was sitting at the top of the hall, listening to the people below reporting on the preparations for the auction bit by bit.

One after another, many people came into the hall.

Huo Fang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "How have you considered that matter? Although there are many capable people and strangers in our Ten Thousand Immortals Association, only those who are as beautiful as you, have the same realm as you, and are as eloquent as you can Qualified for that position.”

 Zi Hou next to her looked surprised when she saw this scene.

“It doesn’t matter, it’s just a high-quality magic weapon, so there’s no need to embarrass others about this kind of thing. What’s more…”

 However, when the blue piece of armor fell into his hands, his demeanor changed.

Huo Fang, who was busy next to him, heard the voice and replied casually: "It is a high-grade magic weapon sold in a small grocery store in the city. A deacon passing by saw it and thought it was interesting, so he included it in the auction process. I remember that the shop was called Qingyang. It seemed like it was just a property of the Jiji family, but it was actually a means of making money for a gold elixir caster. What was that man's name, Qingyangzi Luo Hai..."

It was just a trivial matter, not even a small effort, and he was happy to sell it to the Purple Queen.

The scene of hitting a young child and then growing old rarely occurs in the world of casual cultivators.

Zi Hou asked for the auction list from Huo Fang on the spot. She needed to be familiar with the details of the corresponding auction items to organize the introduction speech at the auction, and think of some words in advance that could raise the price and heat up the atmosphere. .

Haunted by hesitation, he took the initiative to inject mana, and suddenly a blue armor with flowing water patterns appeared in front of him.

“This is such a good thing, but someone is willing to sell it?”

"Haha, I'm just an auctioneer for once. The deputy city lord is so good at praising others." Zi Hou covered her mouth and smiled, and immediately accepted it generously.

 For casual cultivators, especially high-level casual cultivators, the concept of family affection is somewhat indifferent.

 Most of the time, we adhere to the concept of taking a step back to open up the world and live in harmony with each other. The so-called conflicts between blood descendants will not be as numerous as those between large sects and big families.

She said calmly and generously: "It's not like Qingyangzi has any grudge against me. It's just some disputes between the younger generation and him."

Just when they put aside this matter and planned to continue with the matter at hand, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the palace.

 Since I have accepted this task, I must do it to perfection.

 Dharma is precious, but it also depends on who it is for.

 “Oh, let me see it!”

 In the world of immortality, offensive magic weapons are common. As long as there are suitable materials and an accomplished caster, they can be refined.

 “What baby makes you so excited?”

“Kowloon True Fire Shield?”

 After a while, a deacon from the foundation building period walked in with excitement.

 “Fellow Taoist Purple Queen is here.”

 The order on the auction list is currently only approximate, and Purple Queen must plan in advance. Don’t let valuables appear too early, so that the rest of the event will be dull without valuables. At the same time, don’t let the front be too boring. There must be some good things to arouse the interest of the participants.

 Huo Fang’s choice of Purple Queen is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

Unexpectedly, Queen Zi shook her head.

 Huo Fang really doesn’t care much about ordinary magic weapons.

Although casual cultivators say they must retaliate for their grievances, this is only when their own interests are involved.

At an auction of this scale, the auctioneer who presides over it must not lag behind.

As he spoke, Huo Fang stopped what he was doing.

Huo Fang couldn't help but nodded when he saw this.

“Purple Queen, this person seems to have a grudge against you? Do you want me to make the decision and kick this item out?”

 “Hey, is it a purely defensive magic weapon?”

 Either a well-known appraisal master, or a well-informed high-level monk.

Golden elixir monks like them will always have one or two magic weapons on hand. Especially in order to break through the thunder tribulation in the Nascent Soul stage, every golden elixir monk will cast a natal magic weapon that matches himself at all costs after forming the elixir.

Purple Queen pursed her lips and smiled, her gorgeous appearance seemed to make this simple palace extraordinarily radiant.

 “A magic weapon, water-based.”

　　When a young woman wearing a purple palace dress entered the palace, Huo Fang took the initiative to stand up.

“The resources raised by the Monster Hunting Department have been sent over. They have been carefully selected by the Monster Hunting Department. They will not disappoint City Lord Huo Fang.”

“Deputy City Lord, I have collected another treasure here!”

 When her eyes fell on the name of a magical weapon, Zi Queen paused.

Even if it is a magic weapon with unique tricks, it is just mediocre.

 But only defensive magic weapons are in circulation in very small quantities.

 First of all, it has to do with the importance of defensive magic weapons to protect the monks themselves.

Secondly, it is also related to the extremely high difficulty of refining defensive magic weapons!

 The latter is also the biggest reason!

 Destruction is always easier than construction. In the same way, defense is more difficult than attack.

  It is also a casting weapon, an attack-type magical weapon. You only need to consider the superposition of lethality, so that a weapon has the power to harm the enemy.

 Even though this weapon has various drawbacks and has various side effects when activated, as long as it can hurt people, it will be fine.

 But defensive weapons are different.

It must be made after it is cast to ensure that it has no obvious shortcomings, so that the enemy will not easily see the flaws and break them in one fell swoop during battle.

Thinking about it, you will know how terrifying it is that the defensive magic weapon that the monks trusted was found to be vulnerable to attack at the critical moment, making the place where the monks did not need to worry become the life gate.

 Hence, the casting of defensive magic weapons is extremely difficult.

 From the selection of materials, to the refining techniques, and the engraving of suitable formations, there are all kinds of stringent requirements.

 Because of these requirements, the failure rate of defensive magic weapons is extremely high, and the refining cost is also extremely high.

Even some well-known forging masters, after casting some representative defensive magic weapons, rarely refine pure defensive magic weapons.

 They prefer to refine some so-called "offensive and defensive" weapons.

But a smart person will know everything when he thinks about it. Having both offense and defense means that both offense and defense have shortcomings. How can there be a pure defensive magic weapon?

 But these smart people have no other choice but to accept this situation.

 A combination of various reasons has led to the fact that although there are many magic weapons in the world of immortality, there are very few purely defensive magic weapons.

Now, is there anyone willing to put this kind of treasure up for auction?

Even if you look at his grade, he is only of the lower grade, but he is quite a prodigal.

Huo Fang naturally understood the truth here and looked at the foundation-building monk.

“Who handed this over? Are there any additional closing conditions?”

The foundation-building monk said without thinking: "This treasure was handed over by Zhang Jiadi of Qingyang. There are no additional transaction conditions."

 Qingyang Hao!

Huo Fang subconsciously looked at Zi Queen, and the two looked at each other.

 Earlier, they talked about this store and the owner behind it.

  Could it be that this treasure belongs to Qingyangzi?

“I remembered that the person in charge of the title specifically mentioned that when this treasure is auctioned, the reputation of the owner who made it needs to be publicized for him.”

"who?"

 “Master Forger Qingyangzi!”

At this moment, Zi Queen’s face became a little more exciting.

This treasure is not owned by Qingyangzi, but was refined by the other party himself!

 Those who can refine purely defensive magic weapons can be called a master of casting. You must know that even the most famous forging master of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, Moyun Cave Master, has not personally refined such magic weapons for many years.

 Could this Qingyangzi be comparable to the master of Moyun Cave?

If this was the case, she would definitely stop Huangfu Song from coming to provoke him.

As long as the word of such a master-level figure spreads and he is willing to tailor-made defensive magic weapons for people, I don't know how many people will be willing to work for him.

How can the two or three big cats and kittens under Huangfu Song's command be compared with Qingyangzi's appeal?

 Obviously, Qingyangzi now wants to make a name for himself through the Longyuan Auction, perhaps because he wants to prevent such things from happening again.

“Should I take the initiative to visit you and explain what happened last time?”

“Qingyangzi’s previous dealings left obvious room for maneuver, and he obviously didn’t want to offend me too much.”

"However, it would be a bit of a loss of face to come to the door like this."

Just when Zi Queen looked uncertain, there was a rumble from the side.

It was Huo Fang who was testing the power of the magic weapon called Youlan Xuanjia.

 Half a while.

Huo Fang stopped his movements and showed a satisfied look.

“It is indeed the purest water defense magic weapon, and it is extremely effective against fire. In addition, it has another mystery. It is divided into two layers: inner armor and air armor, and can also resist physical attacks.”

"In terms of power, when fully stimulated, it should be able to withstand the full blow of the early stage Golden Core monks without any damage, and it is also effective enough against the attacks of the middle stage Golden Core monks. However, for our great monks, it will not be a hindrance. "

“Finally, the mana consumption of this treasure is a bit beyond my expectation. It even seems to me that a monk in the late stage of foundation building can activate it.”

 After some evaluation, Huo Fang couldn't help but admire it.

"There is something about Qingyangzi's weapon-casting skills. I haven't seen such a high-quality low-grade defensive magic weapon in some years." "This treasure can be entered into the Longyuan auction. It is best to put it at the beginning of the construction period. Both Brother Ji and Brother Jindan are interested."

“I also agree with Qingyangzi’s conditions.”

 Three times five divided by two, the deputy city lord Huo Fang decided on this matter.

 This time, he did not ask Zi Hou for her opinion. He seemed to have forgotten that he had said before that Zi Hou had a grudge against Qing Yangzi.

 Obviously, personal friendship cannot be greater than the important event of Longyuan Immortal City Auction!

Zi Hou watched this scene silently and did not utter a word to refute.

 But he clearly had a plan in mind.

She had to go to Penghu, and instead of just watching from the outside like last time, she had to go in personally.

 …

 As a rare grand event among the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, the Longyuan Auction attracted countless monks.

 There are casual cultivators among them, as well as cultivators from sects and families near Shenyuan City.

The former is here to acquire resources, while the latter mostly wants to see more and see if there is anything interesting.

 This auction was held for two days in total.

　　It may not be long or short, but it is enough to make Longyuan Fairy City lively.

In the meeting, the name of a master forger also rose from a small scale at the beginning and became an instant hit.

Qingyangzi, the Lord of Penghu, can refine low-grade defensive magic weapons!

For a time, many monks tried to visit Qingyangzi in Penghu after the meeting, but they were all blocked by the formation.

Even though they could not visit, they were not discouraged, but poured into Qingyangzi's property in Longyuan Immortal City.

 Although there were no defensive magic weapons for sale in the store, many golden elixir monks returned disappointed.

However, the high-quality magical instruments and a large number of talismans and seals in the store made those Qi Refining and Foundation Building monks overjoyed.

 There was a rush to buy it, and even Wenxiu, the Taoist couple of Zhang Jiadi who was in charge of the store, was forced to raise the price.

 But even so, demand still exceeds supply.

Facing the high prices, casual cultivators are naturally unable to cope, but those cultivators from Shenyuan City are quite wealthy.

After realizing that the magic weapon, talisman and seal were really good, I took out the spirit stone without batting an eye.

This grand occasion really caused a sensation in the street where Qingyang was located, and even the business of nearby shops became better.

Of course, the Zhang family also made a lot of money from other resources they sold in Qingyang Hao.

 In a small shop.

 A group of monks looked at the empty shelves of magical instruments and made dissatisfied sounds.

 Until a female nun appeared.

Wenxiu looked slightly nervous, but her tone was calm.

“Don’t worry, Master Qingyangzi will bring out his works to our store for consignment from time to time, and there will be better weapons in the future.”

“As long as you have time, you can come to the store and take a look, maybe you can meet her.”

“In addition, the quality of other products in our store is also guaranteed. You will never suffer a loss or be cheated.”

 After those words, the rush to buy caused by the auction finally subsided.

However, it can be foreseen that after the reputation is established, Qingyang Hao's business will definitely not be bad in the future.

 Outside the store.

 The two monks looked at this scene, one with a gloomy expression, and the other with a gloating expression.

“Master Moyun Cave, I didn’t lie to you at the beginning, did I?”

Facing Huangfu Song’s ridicule, Cave Master Moyun looked gloomy and admitted that he had made a mistake.

I didn’t expect that Qingyangzi could really refine a magic weapon.

 But in front of Huangfu Song, he had to hold on.

"It's just an accidental gain, and I dare to show it off. I don't believe that Qingyangzi will be able to refine defensive magic weapons in the future!"

Huangfu Song blinked, "What if it's really refined?"

Cave Master Moyun sneered, "Then he is willing to sell it in a small shop like this? For casters like me, the cost of refining defensive magic weapons is high and the risk is high. Unless it is customized by others, they are responsible for the materials and guarantee the refining process. Otherwise, Qingyang Zi would not be willing to sell the carefully crafted defensive magic weapon in a mere shop unless he was crazy.

Huangfu Song was speechless for a moment, but he sneered in his heart.

This Moyun Cave Master is as tough on words as a dead duck, and he doesn't admit Qingyangzi's skill in casting.

The master of Moyun Cave glanced at Huangfu Song with disgust, "Don't even think about sowing discord. The main business under my command in Moyun Cave is offensive magic weapons. That Qingyangzi hasn't provoked me yet. I don't think so." I will deal with him for you. Besides, you have already moved to another place to manage the spiritual land, so why bother coveting the Penghu spiritual land."

Huangfusong's face turned red as his thoughts were revealed.

 Opened his mouth and finally spit out one sentence.

 “I didn’t mean that, it was just to be friendly.”

“Okay, I understand what you mean, but I’m really busy lately, so don’t bother me anymore.”

 After saying that, the master of Moyun Cave waved his sleeves and left.

Huangfu Song was left clenching his fists on the spot with a look of reluctance on his face.

If Luo Chen were here, he would probably shake his head again.

I don’t know how much resources people with this kind of character spent to get to the late stage of Jindan.

 …

 When it is getting late.

Moyun Cave Master returned to Moyun Cave.

 After returning home, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

 “It shouldn’t be!”

“Last time we communicated, Qing Yangzi clearly hadn’t reached the level of refining a magic weapon yet. Why did he refine it in just one year and it was still a purely defensive magic weapon?”

 The muttering to himself was answered.

“Perhaps he is really a genius at casting?”

Moyun Cave Master turned around and looked at a huge figure with a tired look.

The reason why he is huge is because this person is extremely fat and seems to be dripping with oil.

 Happily, he has a thin face and a straight hooked nose, which is completely opposite to his body shape.

With such a special body shape, if Luo Chen were here, he would be able to recognize him at a glance.

It was the casual cultivator Ding Yi who traded the soul-nurturing wood with him on Lengguang Island!

"Fellow Daoist Ding, didn't I ask you to stare at the stove? That treasure is related to your life, but there is no room for error."

Ding cheered up and waved his hand, "It's okay, I can feel it's almost done, otherwise you wouldn't have put down the casting business and hurried out. Am I right?"

Moyun Cave Master was speechless, the other party was really right.

 He is the master of the previous refining.

 But the subsequent refining process must be dominated by the owner of the magic weapon, Ding Yi.

Since the other party feels that it is about to happen, then nine times out of ten, it is really going to happen.

But just in case, he still warned me.

"Refining the turtle beast alive and integrating it into the treasure basin fish, the front is not critical, the important thing is the cultivation behind it. It is not something that can be accomplished overnight. According to my guess, it will take at least ten years. Among them, it cannot be If something goes wrong, Daoyou Ding, you still have to have some snacks."

Ding nodded. It was an important matter for him, so he would not neglect it.

But now, he is even more curious about the Qingyangzi that Moyun Cave Master mentioned before.

“That Qingyangzi is somewhat similar to the name of a powerful demonic figure I know.”

 “Who?”

 “Demon Lord Qingyang.”

"Uh... To be honest with you fellow Taoist, this person is really the Qingyang Demon Lord."

Ding Yi’s little eyes narrowed, and his expression suddenly became exciting.

"Unexpectedly, he is also in this Ten Thousand Immortals Association. I have to take a chance to visit him."

 In response, the master of Moyun Cave waved his hand.

"Don't think about it. He has been in seclusion recently and has not seen anyone. Even Zi Queen, one of the three eight-star demon hunters in our Demon Hunting Department, came to visit him in person, but was turned away."

Ding Yi was stunned for a moment.

 Is the shelf that big?

It is a little different from the person he saw on Lengguang Island.

But at that time, Demon Lord Qingyang was disguised, and even his abilities were only revealed during the battle on Lengguang Island.

Thinking of the power of Demon Lord Qingyang, Ding Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Although Mo Yun is not weak, his real expertise is in casting tools. If he wants to go there, he is still a little behind.”

“In comparison, the level of Demon Lord Qingyang is a bit low, but his actual combat power is recognized by the world as formidable.”

“With his help, my chances of success may be higher.”

 “Would you like to have a chat with him?”

 For a while, the fat monk kept thinking about it, especially the rumored deeds of Demon Lord Qingyang, which kept coming to his mind.

 Finally, a decision seems to have been made.
