Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 227 Second-tier Cave House, Shelter

"Little Six, bring someone here again!"

An old voice sounded, and in the spacious ice palace, it seemed a bit intrusive.

An old woman sat on a recliner, opened her eyes, and glanced at the three of Luo Chen.

Xu Xiaoliu shrank his neck and leaned forward.

"Senior Shi, these three are my uncle's friends, and they want to rent a cave."

The old woman looked over.

Luo Chen arched his hands to show his courtesy.

The old woman groaned and called inside.

"Alan, take out the armillary sphere."

Soon, there was a sweet response from inside.

"Here we come, mother-in-law!"

Afterwards, a girl trotted out holding a large spherical magic weapon.

She put the spherical magic weapon on the table very familiarly.

"Three seniors, do you want to rent a cave?"

"Yes, yes, they..." Xu Xiaoliu approached with a smile.

But the girl glared at her, "I asked the seniors, what are you talking about?"

Xu Xiaoliu smiled awkwardly, stepped back, and looked not very angry.

Luo Chen glanced at him and walked up to him.

"Is there anything special about the cave? How much is the rent?"

The girl Shi Lan injected a spiritual power into the spherical magic weapon.

Immediately, a lifelike indoor environment appeared on it.

Some are simple and natural, some are magnificent, some rely on the mountain wall and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole city, and some waterfalls fall to form pearl water curtains.

Every cave has its own characteristics.

"Our Tianlan's Dongfu is located on the Tianlan Peak in the back."

"This mountain is a real land of third-order spiritual veins! It spread out from here, creating a land of spiritual prosperity with a radius of three thousand miles in Tianlan City."

The sweet introduction sounded in my ears.

Luo Chen and the others couldn't help but nodded.

They had noticed it when they first entered the city.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the city undoubtedly has the level of a first-order spiritual vein.

Compared with the courtyard house in Dahefang, it is not much better.

This is just the concentration of aura on the street.

It is conceivable that where the real main vein is, how full of aura it will be.

"Most of Tianlan Immortal City and the Lingshan outside are first-order spirit lands."

"Only on Tianlan Peak, there are second-tier or even third-tier spiritual lands!"

"The three seniors are all in the foundation building stage, so I suggest you rent a second-tier cave."

While speaking, Shi Lan turned the armillary sphere, revealing the interior of the cave mansion marked with blank dots of light.

That's fine too.

Luo Chen's eyes fell on the armillary sphere, and he couldn't help being surprised.

"Why is the white light displayed in the same second-order cave house showing three colors: pale white, pure white, and dark white?"

Shi Lan smiled sweetly, "Naturally, it's because of the second-tier caves, and there are differences between them!"

"Oh?"

"Our side divides each level of spiritual land into upper, middle and lower grades. The higher the grade, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy."

"On Tianlan Peak, there are first-tier caves that are suitable for the Qi refining period, and second-tier caves that are suitable for the foundation-building period. It's not impossible for you to rent a third-tier cave."

Behind.

Nangong Jin and Li Yixian looked at each other.

Is even the Lingdi Cave Mansion divided so finely?
They tacitly did not speak.

Along the way, they have already discovered that Luo Chen is better at these things than them.

It is better to let Luo Chen deal with it than to offend others rashly.

Luo Chen naturally knew their little thoughts, but he didn't care too much.

Just little things.

"Then how is the price of the Dongfu calculated?"

Shi Lan patiently explained: "From the first to the third level, the price is calculated in hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands, and the monthly rent is calculated in annual terms. The longer the rent, the cheaper the price."

It's a bit complicated!
Nangong Jin frowned upon hearing this.

The same is true for Li Yixian, with a dazed look on his face.

Only Luo Chen nodded, looking clear.

"If I want to rent a second-tier cave, what are the respective prices for one year?"

Shi Lan didn't hesitate, "The monthly rent for the second-tier low-grade cave is [-] low-grade spirit stones, and the annual rent is only [-]. The monthly rent for the middle-grade cave is [-], and the annual rent is [-]. The monthly rent for the upper-grade cave is [-]. Forty-eight thousand a year."

"and many more!"

Li Yixian couldn't help it anymore, "Why are the low-grade and middle-grade caves reduced by two months, but the high-grade caves are not any cheaper?"

The girl blinked.

He said naturally: "Because there are many low-grade and middle-grade caves, and there are only twenty high-grade caves, and the supply is usually in short supply. Naturally, they can't be cheap."

Ok!

For this reason, she didn't know how to refute it.

In other words, there is no need to refute, that's how other people's ice castles are priced.

Take it or leave it.

"What about the three years?" Luo Chen asked.

Shi Lan replied: "The basic price is still the same for three years. If you want to get cheaper, you have to start renting for at least ten years."

ten years!

Li Yixian's whole body is a little bad.

If you rent a top-grade cave, you won’t have to spend nearly 50 for ten years!

After selling her Li family, there are not so many spirit stones.

Shi Lan looked at the three of them, showing a sweet smile, "I don't know, what grade of cave do you want to rent, the three seniors?"

Li Yixian hesitated.

Nangong Jin's eyes were wandering between the low-grade and middle-grade caves.

An abrupt voice suddenly sounded.

"Can you take us to actually see it first?"

Shi Lan froze for a moment, seeing the cave in person?
There was a coughing sound from the side.

"Xiaolan, take them there, don't wait too long."

Shi Lan nodded quickly.

"Three seniors, please follow me."

Xu Xiaoliu also wanted to follow, but was stared at, so he could only stay here obediently.

Luo Chen glanced at the two with interest, shook his head, and stepped out.

……

A water curtain stretches between Tianlan Peak and Tianlan Immortal City, which seems to turn this one place into two independent spaces.

Looking up at the colorful water curtain under the sun.

Luo Chen's face became a little dignified.

"Defensive formation?"

Li Yixian also said in surprise: "A third-tier defensive formation?"

The two looked at each other, and they both saw each other's surprise.

Not because of the Tier [-] defensive formation, but because this formation is always on!
As we all know, the formation method consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

Until the critical moment, even the great sect will not be opened all the time.

Unexpectedly, Tianlan Peak actually keeps a Tier [-] defensive formation in operation all the time.

Shi Lan walked under the water curtain, took out a piece of jade, and skillfully played the spirit formula.

At the same time, introduce them to Luo Chen and the others.

"This is a large formation of water from the sky, formed according to the ground, and it is endless, and it does not consume much spiritual energy."

"With this guard, the monks living on Tianlan Peak can have real security."

"In normal times, there will be people who regularly check and maintain the formation to ensure that there are no accidents."

While speaking, she pouted her mouth sideways.

An old man, Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, was sleeping soundly in a gazebo.

"That's Uncle Wang, who is specially guarding the formation. If a monk without the right of residence approaches, he will drive him away."

"But you don't have to worry, if you rent a cave, you will have a special status jade badge."

After speaking, she shook the jade token in her hand.

In the water curtain, quickly opened a door.

"Let's go!"

Luo Chen couldn't help but glanced at Uncle Wang.

These days, is Foundation Establishment Zhenxiu used as a security guard?

However, this job should be wanted by many people!
Located at the junction of Tianlan Peak and Tianlan Immortal City, the aura is so strong that it is almost equivalent to a spiritual land between the first and second ranks for nothing.

Almost at the moment of stepping into the water curtain.

Luo Chen noticed something strange.

The rich aura of heaven and earth filled his surroundings.

Its concentration is already a genuine first-order spiritual vein.

If it is divided according to the grades Shi Lan said, it is at least the top grade of the first grade!
Whoosh!
A ray of light flew down from above.

After landing, he greeted Shi Lan before leaving calmly through the water curtain.

"Isn't it empty?" Li Yixian asked.

Shi Lan smiled slightly, "In Tianlan Peak, one cannot help flying."

After finishing speaking, he took out a flying sword.

"Three seniors, please follow me!"

……

"This is the second-tier middle-grade spiritual land."

As far as the eye can see, it is a well-regulated, unassuming cave.

There are three floors inside and outside, and there are five rooms in total.

The outermost layer is fertile land, where spiritual plants, flowers, trees, and even spiritual rice can be planted.

The middle floor is the living room.

It is used by monks and people to communicate and discuss Taoism.

In the innermost part, the bedroom, quiet room, study room and an empty room are divided.

In terms of size, it is extremely spacious.

However, when the three of Luo Chen experienced it in the quiet room used for cultivation, they couldn't help frowning.

"The price has doubled, but the concentration of spiritual energy seems to have only increased by half compared to Xiapin Dongfu?"

"This is how I feel, Luo Chen, what do you think?"

Luo Chen nodded.

He not only used the exercise to experience it, but also compared it with the Lingmai Cave in the belly of Luofeng Mountain.

This middle-grade cave is only equivalent to the level he had after three years of retreat.

The three looked at each other.

"Let's take a look at Shangpin Dongfu again?"

"it is good!"

"Lets see!"

The three wanted to watch it again, so Shi Lan would naturally not refuse.

Immediately take them to fly to a higher place.

However, this time the speed will be much slower.

Because, the rent is full!

It took a long time before Shi Lan knocked on the door of a cave with a sound transmission talisman.

"I'm coming."

"Isn't it due yet, why are you here to urge me!"

Following the sound, a tall and graceful figure came out, and a strong fragrance rushed over.

Luo Chen looked at it, and he could see the spiritual power fluctuations in the middle stage of foundation establishment of the other party at a glance.

The nun frowned slightly, and looked at Luo Chen suspiciously.

"Discovered?"

Luo Chen looked calm, and then calmly denied this conjecture.

The other party didn't notice it, but their perception was a little keen.

He didn't use his spiritual sense to check the opponent's realm, but only used the spiritual eyes that came with his eyes to check.

Among the same level, it is difficult to find out if he does not take the initiative to increase his strength.

As she walked out, Shi Lan showed a sweet smile.

"Senior Ling, I'm not here to urge you."

"It's just that these seniors want to see the concentration of aura in the second-tier high-grade cave."

"The other seniors are either retreating or going out, so they have to disturb you."

"Could it be convenient for you?"

Ling Yuzhi frowned and snorted.

"If you want to see it, just watch it, who can refuse your ice castle's request!"

After speaking, she stepped out of the way.

However, staring at the backs of the three of Luo Chen, he sneered.

Although he didn't say anything.

But the meaning of contempt is obvious.

Not everyone can afford to rent a top-grade Dongfu that costs 4000 yuan a month!

The three of Luo Chen could feel the gaze behind them.

Except for Luo Chen who was extremely calm, the other two felt a little unnatural.

This feeling of being underestimated makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

It didn't take long.

The three quickly walked out of the quiet room.

"Double?"

"Is such that."

"The price is four times higher than that of the low-grade ones, but the concentration of aura has only doubled."

Seeing that the three were dissatisfied.

Shi Lan quickly explained: "Senior, value is not measured in this way!"

"This is the same as the difference between ordinary pills and top-grade pills. It seems that the price is at a disadvantage, but the time saved is time!"

"For monks of my generation, time is the most precious thing."

"Cultivating in the lower-grade caves, and the upper-grade caves, may not improve much in a short period of time. But if you accumulate it over time, the time saved may be decades of hard work."

"Maybe, breaking through the golden core stage will only be a few decades away."

Luo Chen glanced at her.

He is a very enthusiastic and hardworking real estate agent.

Everyone understands what she said.

But it's one thing to know, and another to be shy.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, what do you think?" Li Yixian asked.

Nangong Jin has already made a decision, "Recently, I mainly focus on healing, and the lower-grade cave can already meet my needs."

Li Yixian gritted his teeth lightly, "Then I'll choose the lower-rank Dongfu too! The main reason is that the improvement of the middle-rank and high-rank is not great."

After speaking, she looked at Luo Chen.

"What about you?"

Luo Chen smiled, "Little friend Shi Lan, is this high-grade cave house full recently?"

Shi Lan nodded hastily, "It is indeed full recently, but some of them are almost up to the lease period, and they have no plans to renew the lease. If you want to rent, senior, you can make an appointment with me, and I will definitely help you when the time comes." You arrange."

"That's fine, I'll rent a low-grade cave for the transition. As for the high-grade cave, please help me keep an eye on it."

Shi Lan's eyes lit up, and she immediately wrote it down.

It has been decided, that is to choose the cave.

The three of them, led by Shi Lan, were about to fly down the mountainside to find a suitable cave.

Before leaving, he said sorry to the female cultivator surnamed Ling.

The other party smiled and said nothing.

But when he saw the backs of the three of them going down the mountain, he let out a contemptuous pooh.

"A few poor ghosts!"

A cave abode ten feet away was shining with light.

Then, someone flew out of it.

He seemed to have seen Ling Yuzhi's movements, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing, Fellow Daoist?"

Hearing the voice, Ling Yuzhi couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"Friend Chu! Are you going out?"

The man pointed to the distance, "Yes, it's the end of the month, so I have to be busy for a while, otherwise there will be no Lingshi flowers."

Ling Yuzhi smiled, "You're joking. With your skills as Chu Kui, who would dare to make you busy?"

Chu Kui chuckled and did not refute.

He glanced at the four figures below.

"Is it a new neighbor?"

Ling Yuzhi curled her lips, "It's just a few poor ghosts from other places. If you can't afford it, you can't afford to rent it. You still have to take a look and disturb my cleaning."

"From out of town?"

"That's right! Especially the little boy inside, who obviously couldn't afford the rent, and pretended to make an appointment for a top-grade cave. These days, there are really everyone."

Seeing her speak harshly, Chu Kui shook his head involuntarily.

"You can't judge by appearance, maybe you are a wealthy person, I will get to know you when I have time."

"Okay, stop talking, I'm going out first!"

He waved his hand, turned a blind eye to Ling Yuzhi's desire to talk, and flew out of Tianlan Peak like an arrow from the string.

Ling Yuzhi looked at his back with regret.

Then, he shook his head again.

Although the opponent is powerful, he has no future.

It can be for a while, but it can't last long, and it's not a good person!

……

It is halfway down the mountain.

Luo Chen stood in the slightly cramped cave.

Compared with the spacious upper-grade cave before, this lower-grade cave is much shabby.

There are only two floors inside and outside, and there is no garden where spiritual plants can be planted.

There are only three rooms in the interior: the living room, the bedroom, and the quiet room.

However, he has no dissatisfaction.

At least, he, Luo Chen, finally had a place to stay.

"The next thing to deal with is the placement of Luo Tianhui!"

Luo Tianhui, he didn't intend to give up.

Not to mention that there are many friends who are close to him.

Only those monks who know the basics and use them well can be of great benefit to him in alchemy.

Alchemy by one person, even if he has advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the amount he can refine is extremely limited.

Only with the help of many monks can a corresponding scale be formed.

This is also the reason why alchemists of great sects often recruit many Yaotong, Dantong, and Huogong disciples.

However, Luo Tianhui has a large number of people, and it is not the same thing to live in the city for a long time.

Luo Chen pursed his lips, spread out the map that Shi Lan had left for him, and carefully flipped through it.

"A place with a first-order spiritual vein, and it has no owner. Mirror Lake, Bamboo Sea, Wutong Mountain, Danxia Peak..."

Gradually, Luo Chen's gaze stopped at one place.
