Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 205 Taishanfang Jinshi Pavilion stepping stone

 Half a day has passed since we left the Nanwa Snow Mountain area.

 Until this moment, the monks in Dahefang who were still in shock gradually calmed down.

 On board Luo Tianhui's ship.

Wang Yuan quietly entered Luo Chen's cabin.

 “You are so courageous!”

“If you scatter so many high-quality chalcedony pills at once, they are worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones.”

“Tsk, tsk, you didn’t see it at the time. The few ships of casual cultivators behind the formation were all dumbfounded and their eyes were wide open.”

Facing Wang Yuan’s praise, Luo Chen looked calm.

 At this time, the spiritual power he had consumed has gradually recovered.

 After a monk builds a foundation, he can recover quickly as long as he does not burst out with too much spiritual power at once.

This characteristic comes from the spiritual energy clouds in the ninth level of Qi refining.

 After foundation building, the effect is doubled.

 Coupled with the automatic regeneration of his Yimu Yaowang Jing, the effect is several times higher than ordinary foundation building.

 “It had to be done then.”

“The Li family and the Nangong family lost a large number of domesticated spirit beasts, and Wang Haichao also paid a large amount of spirit stones. I must also lose something, otherwise they will be unbalanced.”

Wang Yuan nodded.

 In this regard, Luo Chen is always more thoughtful than him.

It's just that he didn't understand that in that case, Luo Chen was too kind and loving!

With my own personality, I am too lazy to care about the life and death of those casual cultivators.

Perhaps aware of Wang Yuan's suppressed doubts, Luo Chen said calmly: "When you go to another place, the biggest problem is that you are not familiar with the place."

“There are a group of people I have helped, even if they are not Luotian Society monks, they can still help us to some extent.”

 “And, Wang Haichao…”

Puckered his lips, a gloomy look appeared in Luo Chen's eyes.

This man is like a snake, vicious and vicious. No one knows when he will jump out and bite you.

 I had recommended him as the leader of the alliance before, so that he could be the leader and deal with the dangers that may be encountered on the road.

 He coped well!

　　But you are taking other people’s lives to pay for it!

If I hadn't forced him this time, I might not have been willing to give him anything.

Wang Yuan shook his head, "You should not have close friendship with this person. It is best not to have too much contact with him. He has too much appetite and ambition, and he never talks about morality."

 “I can’t afford it.”

Luo Chen hummed and his eyes fell on Wang Yuan.

 “How has your cultivation been lately after uprooting Duan Qiankun’s remnant soul?”

 Wang Yuan was very interested when it came to cultivation.

 He shook his body, making a crackling sound of his joints.

 “The Immortal Realm is stuck in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage.”

“But these days, I have figured out a killing move, which is a real killing move in the second level of body refining!”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "Is it comparable to the initial stage of foundation building?"

"This is a blow with all my strength, and there is more!"

Luo Chen looked at the confident Wang Yuan in surprise.

 Then, I felt a little at ease.

"With you here, I will be able to do things much more calmly in the future."

 …

 Whether a person is calm or not comes from his strength.

 Inherent strength, realm cultivation, and killer moves.

 External strength, patronage, connections, wealth, etc.

 And these things, after years of hard work, Luo Chen has accumulated more and more.

 Hence, he became more and more calm in his dealings with others.

　　Without the youthful detachment, I have become more calm.

In the eyes of outsiders, Luo Chen is becoming more and more trustworthy and reliable.

 After experiencing the River Swallowing Toad incident, Luo Tianshuang has completely returned to his heart!

Even the casual cultivators who joined later identified Luo Chen as the leader.

How to treat outsiders with such charity and kindness.

 Follow him, and the future will only be brighter and brighter.

 It’s not just Luo Tianhui.

Luo Chen could notice that occasionally he came to the deck to relax, and some casual cultivators looked at him. From the initial awe of the foundation-building cultivators, they became somewhat respectful.

  This is the atmosphere in the world of cultivating immortals.

 Strength is respected, and the big fist is the last word.

Wang Haichao asked people to die, and the dead monks cursed loudly. The living people did not dare to express any disrespect except for slandering in their hearts.

 Luo Chen showed a different style.

 Naturally, you will be treated differently by low-level casual cultivators.

He could tell how much of those respectful glances were sincere and how much was pure awe.

“This is good, even if it’s not for myself, I can still make more good connections with the people under my command.”

 “Perhaps at some point, it will have unexpected effects.”

Luo Chen finished relaxing on the deck, clasped his hands behind his back, and leisurely returned to the cabin to continue practicing.

Calculating the time, we will arrive at Taishanfang at noon tomorrow at the latest!

 He can figure it out.

 It can also be seen from the restlessness of those low-level monks.

 …

the next day.

morning.

 There is no cloud in the sky and the wind is clear and clear.

 The huge fleet reduced its speed and gradually docked in a huge looking-back bay.

 “Here it is, here it is!”

 “Finally arrived at Taishanfang.”

“This is really the longest journey I have ever taken!”

There was a hustle and bustle outside.

More rapid footsteps came from the deck stairs.

 “Master, we have arrived at Taishanfang.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　是Qu Lingjun.

 Zhiah!

 The door opened, and Luo Chen, dressed in a brand new moon-white gown, walked out.

Standing on the three-story deck, Luo Chen looked forward.

 Surrounded by three mountains, it is as big as a city.

 Lancang is galloping, and there are countless monks.

However, after just one glance, Luo Chen frowned slightly.

 “Master, what’s wrong?”

  Qu Lingjun looked at Luo Chen, who seemed a little dissatisfied, and asked doubtfully.

"It's nothing." Luo Chen's eyes flickered and he ordered calmly: "Tell Huiniang that brothers in the guild can go shopping in Taishanfang, but they must go together and try not to conflict with the locals."

 “Hmm, I’ll go tell the president right away.”

 When Qu Lingjun nodded, Luo Chen had already floated away.

 …

 On board the dragon whale.

Luo Chen landed and met Li Yixian who had just arrived.

The two parties nodded to each other and then walked into the hall together.

Nangong Jin has arrived early, and Wang Haichao is sitting on top.

 The four of them sat down and went straight to the topic.

 “When will they come?”

Wang Haichao said in a deep voice: "Soon! Just wait patiently!"

patience?

How can you be patient?

They had already sent their monks to inquire about the situation in Taishanfang.

Affected by the battle between the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect and the Luo Yun Sect, the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion monks here have long been empty.

 The huge Taishan Fang, without the pressure of the local overlord, was suddenly leaderless.

Even if there are still six major sects’ industries stationed there, they are still foreign forces and cannot be said.

 Hence, the current voice of the local market is mainly concentrated on the three major local families.

The Huo family in Chichanshan, the Kang family in Taishan, and the Yu family in Yihuashan.

Of the three, the Huo family is backed by the Yan Alliance and has an ancestor with a sixth-level foundation, so it has the most say.

 Whether the four major forces in Dahefang can take root here depends on their faces.

Without their consent, a fight is inevitable.

Li Yixian said worriedly: "We have too many people coming here. Those casual cultivators are okay, but they are not suitable for gathering and scattering duckweeds. But the influence of our four families will definitely affect the survival of the local families."

 “I’m afraid it won’t go so well!”

 After docking, Nangong Jin became less impetuous.

He snorted softly at this moment, "It would be best if we can negotiate the terms peacefully. If not, we can only rely on our fists to speak."

 Is this going to imitate the old events in Dahefang?

 When did Nangong Jin become so bold?

Luo Chen glanced at him.

 Immediately, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

 Because Nangong Jin looked at Wang Haichao.

 “I’m right, leader!”

 This is asking Wang Haichao to be the pioneer!

Wang Haichao took a deep look at Nangong Jin and said nothing.

 The atmosphere of the scene instantly cooled down.

Nangong Jin was a little embarrassed, but he didn't take it seriously.

 In fact, he saw clearly that Luo Chen and Li Yixian had similar ideas.

It’s just that their subordinates have deep knowledge and will not speak easily.

 For the sake of family business, I have to do these thankless things.

While the four of them waited in silence, the noise outside gradually disappeared.     Shuer!

The four of them suddenly raised their heads and saw a paper crane flying in.

  Thousand paper cranes for sound transmission?

Wang Haichao moved his hand and took the paper crane.

 As the sound reached his ears, his face gradually darkened.

 After a long time, he raised his head.

 “We may have to wait for a while.”

"Um?"

  “Why is this?”

 “Leave us alone?”

Facing the three people’s inquiries, Wang Haichao said quietly:

“The ancestor of the Huo family in Chichan Mountain is in seclusion. We have to wait until he comes out of seclusion before the various forces in Taishanfang decide whether to accept us or not.”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Luo Chen and the other three people changed.

Is it true or false?

Excuse?

Or, do you have other considerations?

 After some discussion, no result was achieved.

Luo Chen and others had no choice but to disperse.

After they left, Wang Haichao took out the paper crane again and rubbed it carefully.

 The face showed an uncertain look.

 …

 After arriving at Taishanfang, most of the casual cultivators who followed from Dahefang got off the boat.

 Most of them will stay here, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will also survive in this area.

 A small part may flow to other markets.

There are also people who hope that the major sects will return to Dahefang to clean up the mess, and they can go back to their hometown.

 The monks from the four major forces returned to the ship one after another at night after wandering around for a whole day.

  Late at night.

 A figure, with almost no breath, quietly left the cabin.

 Crossing the waves and leaping towards the Li family's ship.

Luo Chen was about to sneak in when he suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Facing the direction he was passing by, he whispered softly: "Friend Daoist Li?"

 In the night, a pair of bright eyes looked over.

 “Huh? Fellow Daoist Luo?”

 By coincidence, this is not the case!

 The direction the other party was going was obviously the ship Luo Tianhui was on.

 The purpose is self-evident.

Looking at the looming shadow, like a dead tree, Luo Chen praised: "What a mysterious concealment technique!"

Li Yixian also looked at him in great surprise.

 “Fellow Taoist’s concealment spell is no less impressive!”

Just now, Luo Chen discovered her first.

 “Change a place?” Luo Chen suggested.

 “Well, fellow Taoist, please lead the way!”

Luo Chen didn't hesitate and flew towards a dense forest outside Taishanfang City.

Following the trace of breath that Luo Chen left for her, Li Yixian followed closely behind.

“It is rumored that Luo Chen is extremely good at magic, but now it seems that it is true.”

“I have practiced Huaiyin Technique for many years, and I think it is excellent at condensing the breath and covering the body.”

 “But I didn’t expect that compared to him, I was still a little inferior.”

 Soon, the two of them arrived at their destination.

 After landing, Luo Chen looked around to make sure no outsiders were prying.

 Created a sound isolation spell to cover the two of them.

 Opened his mouth to speak, then looked at each other and smiled.

 “What do you think?” Li Yixian asked with a smile.

Luo Chen did not mince words and said bluntly: "Wang Haichao's words must be reserved."

“Indeed, we are waiting for the four major foundation builders to arrive together. There is no reason for Taishanfang to leave us alone like this.” Li Yixian nodded.

 They are not just cats and dogs.

 The four major foundation-building true cultivators, plus the four major forces they carry.

 Taken together, there are thousands of people.

 Perhaps for large sects, it’s nothing.

  But for a mere city, how can it be so entrusted?

Li Yixian said softly: "He may have hidden some inside information and wanted to use this to create a time difference."

"I think so too. After all, Wang Haichao is in the water transport business and travels to several major cities all the time. Logically speaking, our relocation should have been settled with this place a long time ago."

“Do you know anyone here who is a true cultivator of foundation building?”

Facing Li Yixian's inquiry, a person's face appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

 He nodded.

Upon seeing this, Li Yixian said directly: "I have been friends with the head of the local Yu family in Yihua Mountain for many years. I can go see her tomorrow and find out something in advance."

 “Well, let’s do that!”

 Luo Chen also agreed to this proposal.

 After confirming, he turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Li Yixian stopped him.

 “What else is there?”

Looking at Luo Chen, Li Yixian gritted his teeth and said, "Can you and I make progress and retreat together?"

Luo Chen was startled for a moment, then smiled.

 “Nature counts!”

 …

  The second day.

 On the long street, a tall and thin figure walked against the scorching sun.

Looking at the layout of the surrounding buildings, a look of curiosity appeared on his face.

“It is completely different from the inner and outer cities of Dahefang.”

Taishanfang is not so much a market as a market formed on a plain surrounded by three mountains.

 Over time, this city was formed.

 The layout of the surrounding buildings is obviously not professionally planned like Dahefang.

Horizontal seven and eight vertical, three and three in twos and twos.

 Some buildings are very tall, and they look like the property of a wealthy sect.

 Some of them only have a signboard, which is very simple.

Undoubtedly, this is just a small family business of some small households.

Soon, Luo Chen's footsteps came to the outside of a tall building full of ancient design.

There is a signboard of "Jinshi Pavilion" hanging on it.

 After stepping into it, it was a glorious sight.

“Strictly speaking, the Kang family is an affiliated family of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. Kang Dongyue told me personally at the beginning.”

“Now the two Nascent Soul Sects are confronting each other. I wonder if they will get involved?”

These thoughts flow through my heart, and Luo Chen enters them.

 A good-looking maid came to greet him.

Although Luo Chen concealed the aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was wearing high-grade robes and looking calmly from the corners of his brows and eyes. At first glance, he was no ordinary casual cultivator.

 Hence, the maid behaved very enthusiastically.

 “Senior, what do you need to buy?”

"Our special products of Jinshi Pavilion are gold jade liquid and Shi Yuan Dan, which are good elixirs that are of great benefit to practice. If seniors are going to travel far away, you can also prepare some Mengsu powder to protect against snakes, insects, rats and ants. In addition, such as cinnabar , Yunying..."

Luo Chen, who originally wanted to get straight to the point, was really moved after hearing the introduction from the maid.

The Taishan Kang family is indeed a subsidiary family from the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

 After many years of operation, there are so many low-level elixirs.

 The richness of categories is even higher than that of Luotianhui.

But if you think about it carefully, it is natural.

 There are many elixirs here that are not difficult to refine.

Some things that sound very good, there are also similar competing products on the market.

However, Luo Chen still spent several hundred spirit stones to buy a bunch of low-level elixirs that were not used for cultivation.

 He needed gold and jade liquid, but did not buy it.

Instead, the maid was surprised and took out a wonderful pill.

“I don’t know, do you accept elixirs here?”

 “Excellent!”

The maid made a sound in surprise, and then immediately covered her mouth.

 Looking around, she found that the guests around her had not noticed her.

Huh?

 She realized later that Luo Chen had already cast a soundproofing spell in advance.

 Swallowing, the maid nodded quickly.

“The elixir is collected, but it needs to be appraised by me, the elder of Jinshi Pavilion.”

Luo Chen's eyes flashed, "Can you ask Senior Kang Dongyue to personally identify it? I have more than just this one in my hand!"

As he spoke, he directly put the top-quality pill into the hand of the maid.

The maid hesitated for a while.

 But when he heard Luo Chen’s words “There’s more than just one”, he immediately became determined.

 A large number of top-quality elixirs?

If she can win this big business for Jinshi Pavilion, then she will definitely get praise from her superiors, and there will definitely be no shortage of various rewards.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Senior, please go upstairs and wait."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and strode upstairs.

 The stepping stone has been taken out.

 It depends on whether Kang Dongyue's heart is moved or not!
