Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 439: Domineering and greedy, rumors mislead me! (asking for monthly ticket)

He Lianyun and the four of them must have been preparing for today’s meeting for a long time!

 This is not some groundless speculation.

 From handing out greetings to Danfang now.

 Every process in the process is not aimless.

Just like when he first entered the school, the three great monks put pressure on Luo Chen, clearly judging his strength.

In addition, regarding the selection of the alchemist to refine this elixir, I am afraid that Luo Chen was chosen only after careful selection.

Alchemists from large sects may have higher alchemy skills. People like Fu Jiusheng must also know some third-level alchemists.

 But they did not dare to ask for help.

 The reason is very simple. There is no condition to impress the other party, and at the same time, the elixir will be coveted by others.

  Relatively speaking, Luo Chen’s alchemy skills are well-known, and he himself has the need to form alchemy.

 There is no need for any additional conditions at all, Luo Chen will be tempted by himself.

at last!

  It is based on the preparation of many of the above materials.

Luo Chen looked at the four of them in confusion, "Can you really get all these materials together?"

He pointed at the bamboo slips and said solemnly: "The materials required for this Ming Yuan Pill are not simple. Even if I were to purchase them, it would take hundreds of years to assemble them."

 However, Helian Yun was confident about this.

 “Fellow Taoist may have underestimated me.”

"Although the Lianyun Merchant Alliance has declined, it has been operating for hundreds of years. I can produce 60% of the above materials now."

“The remaining 40%, it will take a few years to collect more than half of it.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, but he had forgotten about this incident.

Lianyun Merchant Alliance is engaged in this type of business, which involves traveling from south to north and freeing up resources.

Not to mention other things, just the branch in Dahefang collected countless rare treasures from the millions of mountains in the Eastern Wasteland every year.

but!

 “What about the three most important main materials?”

Those three, even if Luo Chen takes action, he can't collect one.

Unexpectedly, He Lianyun said bluntly: "Of these three main materials, the most precious one and also the rarest one - Jialan Lei Flower, is already in our hands."

"oh?"

He Lianyun pointed at Xiao Sanren.

“Fellow Daoist Xiao got a complete Jialan Lei flower from the ruins of the God Transformation. It can be used as medicine to refine the Ming Yuan Pill at least a dozen times.”

 Luo Chen looked at Xiao Sanren.

 From the beginning of the business conversation, this person remained silent, even more taciturn than Fu Jiusheng.

At this moment, under his gaze, Xiao Sanren nodded solemnly.

Luo Chen pursed his lips and said, "Then how should we find the other two main materials?"

This time, all four people’s eyes fell on Luo Chen.

Luo Chen frowned.

 “What does this mean? Doesn’t it mean, can you get it together?”

He Lianyun smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Taoist, look at the name of Huiyangshui in Tianshan Mountain. Does it sound familiar to you?"

"Of course it's familiar. Isn't it the first-order elixir to return Yang... Tianshan?" Luo Chen was startled and blurted out, "Could it be that Ice Castle produced this thing?"

He Lianyun nodded and said with a vicissitude of tone: "This is the secret that you, the younger generation, don't know. The Ice Castle is located in the most barren area of ​​the Jade Cauldron Territory, and most of the disciples are restricted to female cultivators. In this case, nine golden elixirs can be born... No, now it is the top ten golden elixir monks! Why do you think this is so?"

 When Luo Chen is thoughtful.

He waved his hands heavily and asserted: "It is rumored that Ice Castle is rich in Tianshan Huiyang Water. In order to cooperate with the sect's secret method of forming elixirs, we can cultivate the top ten golden elixir monks. And your relationship with Ice Castle, fellow Taoist Dan Chenzi... "

 At this point, Luo Chen completely understood.

They are pinning their hopes of obtaining the main material of Tianshan Huiyang Water on themselves!

indeed!

Given the relationship between Luo Chen and Ice Castle, it would not be difficult to ask for a share of Tianshan Huiyang Water in person.

After all, the Supreme Elder Canglong also said that if her physique was not unsuitable, she could even use Ice Castle's unique secret pill-forming technique for Luo Chen.

With a certain determination in his mind, Luo Chen focused on the last main material.

 This time, before he could speak.

 Fu Jiusheng explained it directly.

 “I know where to find the Nine-striped Snake Saliva Fruit!”

 “The only thing that needs to be considered is how to pick it?”

 Speaking of this, he stared at Luo Chen with burning eyes, "I think that my Taoist friend, the master of alchemy, is so well-known, Su Xinshou's attainments in alchemy should not be too low!"

 Luo Chen waved his sleeves.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled without saying a word.

Mrs. Yousha complimented: "Fellow Daoist Fu may not know that during the Qingdan Dao Seed dispute, Dan Chenzi's alchemy skills were so superb that even the third-level alchemy masters in Qingdan Valley highly praised him. He was just a simple master. In such a huge Jade Cauldron Territory, no one would dare to be ranked second even if he were to be ranked first!”

As soon as these words came out, a look of appreciation flashed in Fu Jiusheng's eyes.

 Even though he had known this information for a long time.

 But seeing Luo Chen so confident made him feel reassured.

Between heaven and earth, there are countless elixirs and celestial beings.

 Many herbs have special growth habits.

For example, the nine-striped snake saliva fruit has a special growth environment, and it also has the characteristics of being filthy when it falls off its branches and melts when it falls to the ground.

 The time from leaving the branch to the time of use as medicine must not exceed an hour.

 Otherwise, it will become highly poisonous!

Let alone using it to make elixirs, even if it is touched, the foundation-building cultivator will die on the spot.

 Moreover, even this poisonous fruit cannot be preserved for long.

 Only alchemists with extremely high attainments in their hands can pick and use it on the spot.

So now, there is only one last question left.

“Dan Chenzi, can you really refine this elixir?”

“This is a third-level elixir. Even though the requirements for alchemy are not that demanding, our error tolerance rate is not very high.”

“You have to give us accurate information, otherwise we have worked hard to prepare for several years, and if you can’t refine the Ming Yuan Pill in the end, it will be all in vain.”

　Facing the nervous gaze of everyone.

 Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

 In my heart, there was a cold feeling.

 No wonder these four people can get together!

Mrs. Yousha provides the elixir recipe, Xiao Sanren has the most important main ingredient, Jialan Leihua, and He Lianyun has the channels of the Lianyun Merchant Alliance. Not only can he prepare most of the basic auxiliary ingredients, but he is also a local leader in the Jade Cauldron Region.

 The other three people were able to contact him, Luo Chen, through He Lianyun.

 Finally, Fu Jiusheng stuck his neck on the main material of the nine-striped snake saliva fruit.

 He knew where it was, but he didn’t tell him in advance.

As a result, even if Luo Chen mastered the complete recipe of Ming Yuan Dan, he would not be able to refine it.

 As for how the four people were connected bit by bit?

There are probably many twists and turns and stories.

But that didn’t have much to do with him, and he didn’t bother to delve into the story.

 Now, what he was thinking about was not how to refine this elixir at all.

With his extremely solid, even terrifying alchemy foundation, and the high amount of achievement points stored in the system, it is not difficult to get started with this elixir.

In other words, as long as he has a minimum of ten raw materials, he can definitely refine a batch of Ming Yuan Dan!

 He was thinking about things other than elixirs.

These four people got together in advance. Did they reach a private agreement?

 After the Dan is completed, will there be chaos between each other? Or join forces to deal with him?

Also, Fu Jiusheng said that the place where the nine-striped snake saliva fruit grows is quite dangerous. How dangerous is it?

The longer Luo Chen remained silent, the more anxious He Lianyun and the others became.

 I've never seen him so confident before.

　　Why did you hesitate when it was time to give the letter of approval?

  Could it be that he doesn’t have this ability?

Just when the rocks in the hearts of the four of them were piling up higher and higher.

Luo Chen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

 “I can practice this elixir!”

 The four of them are not happy yet.

He immediately asked: "What is the specific method of cooperation? Is there any plan on how to distribute the alchemy after it is completed? We are not in the same sect or friends. How can I ensure the safety of my life during the alchemy process? This, you guys You have to make it clear!”

 For these three questions.

A few people seemed to have been prepared.

Fu Jiusheng said immediately: "The specific cooperation is very simple. We, the herb collectors, cannot trust outsiders. At that time, neither of us can bring our relatives, friends, or disciples. I will personally take you to the place where the nine-striped snake saliva fruit grows, and only There can be five of us!”

 This answer did not surprise Luo Chen.

The other people didn’t have any objections either.

He Lianyun took over and said, "As for the last question, I have a suggestion. That is, before the pill is completed, everyone must do their best to ensure the safety of Dan Chenzi!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

  “Second the proposal!”    I disagree.” Luo Chen suddenly spoke.

 The four of them were stunned.

Luo Chen chuckled, "How can I believe you if you say nothing?"

"Well…"

"But you are not willing to take the oath of truth, so how can we win your trust?"

"Simple!" Luo Chen immediately took out a jade slip, and among the four people's curiosity, "Although you don't make a Dao oath, you can still make a blood contract."

 Essence and blood contract!

 Hearing these four words, everyone's faces changed slightly.

 In the world of immortality, there are countless types of covenant oaths.

 The most well-known ones are the avenue oaths and verbal promises linked to the soul.

In addition, there are various covenants created with the help of magic weapons and artifacts.

 Among these, the Essence and Blood Contract is also considered a relatively well-known one.

This type of contract seems to be less binding than the Dao Dao Oath, but in actual operation, it is the first choice of many people.

 After all, the oath of the road is ethereal.

If the enemy breaks the contract even if the future path to immortality is cut off, the person who made the oath has nothing to do.

One died on the spot, and the other just cut off his path, but could still live for tens or hundreds of years. The oath of the path is actually nothing more than that!

 The Essence and Blood Contract is different.

The monk takes an oath by instilling a drop of essence and blood obtained by condensing spiritual power, qi and blood, and fusing them.

Anyone who breaks the oath will be punished on the spot.

 Although the backlash may not be that great.

 But at the critical moment, this slight backlash is enough to make others alert and even gain an advantage.

Mrs. Yousha smiled reluctantly and said: "We monks don't have much blood essence, and now we are at the critical moment when we are about to form the elixir. Will we swear by blood essence too much to affect our cultivation?"

Luo Chen glanced at her, "It will take several years to collect the medicinal materials, let me study the elixir formula, and become familiar with the refining of the Ming Yuan Dan. This time is enough for you to make up for the wasted drop of blood. Could it be that, Do you have evil intentions towards me? Or do you not want the elixir at all?"

“If this is the case, I may have to re-examine this cooperation.”

 What I said above is sound and well-founded.

The next two questions are a bit heart-wrenching.

 “That’s not what I meant! That’s not what I meant!”

Mrs. Yousha's beauty turned pale and she waved her hands repeatedly.

“How could I have any evil intentions towards Lord Huo Ling?”

"snort!"

Luo Chen snorted coldly and glanced at the other three people.

Under his scrutiny, He Lianyun and the other three had no choice but to agree to make a contract with their essence and blood. Before the Mingyuan Pill was successfully refined, everyone must ensure his life safety as much as possible and must not have any intention of harming him.

 Then finally, there is the issue of elixir distribution.

"If the number of completed pills is less than five, I want one. If there are more than five, I want two! If there are more than ten, I want three!" Madam Yousha said without thinking: "After all, it is my husband who takes the pill recipe. I got my life back!"

However!

Xiao Sanren sneered, "Without my Jialan Thunder Flower, you would only have the elixir recipe for nothing."

These two people fought fiercely.

He Lianyun and Fu Jiusheng did not compete much.

 After all, a monk may only have one or two opportunities to form an elixir in his life.

Especially since the two of them are quite old.

 One pill is enough.

 The only argument is that if there are less than five, they must get one.

 In the midst of the debate, only Luo Chen looked at him coldly and remained silent.

Gradually, the four people’s argument stopped.

 “Dan Chenzi, what do you think?”

 “What do I think?” Luo Chen smiled.

This smile is like a gentle breeze blowing on everyone's cheeks, making people feel like a spring breeze.

 It is also like the heavy snowfall in the coldest winter, which makes people feel hairy in their hearts.

“In the world of immortality, there are countless prescriptions and medicinal materials everywhere, but these are not important at all!”

 He pointed at himself.

 “If there is no alchemist, these are just waste!”

 “So, I want a big head! Everything must meet my needs first!”

“Mrs. Yousha’s conditions are very good, you can switch to me.”

 “You can discuss the rest!”

Such a domineering declaration made the four of them dumbfounded.

Luo Chen was too lazy to argue. He returned to his seat, picked up the teacup, and gently sipped the bitter tea.

 Don’t say it!

The spiritual tea that He Lianyun brought out to entertain guests was really good.

Even people like Luo Chen, who was not familiar with tea ceremony, realized the benefits after tasting it.

 After the tea enters the body, the spiritual energy is extremely lively, jumping for joy, and quickly condenses into drops of pure spiritual liquid.

 It seems that it has the effect of speeding up the cultivation speed!

Even the clockwise spiritual whirlpool in Luo Chen's body rotated steadily and quickly.

 That’s when he was sipping tea.

The discussion between the four people was already so noisy that their faces turned red.

for a long time.

 When Luo Chen even felt his lower abdomen was slightly bloated, the four of them discussed the outcome.

"Dan Chenzi, we have already discussed it and we will do it according to your terms."

 “That’s so good!”

"But there is one condition. When Tianshan returns to Yangshui, can you ask for a few more copies and share the profits with everyone. After all, this is also a good thing that can assist in forming pills."

Luo Chen curled his lips and said, "I'll do my best!"

 Everyone is helpless, this condition is obviously not a mandatory requirement.

If Luo Chen really wanted to deal with it, there was nothing they could do.

 Next, an essence-blood contract was made, stipulating a departure time in nine years. It took a full day of cooperation before the agreement was concluded.

 The reason why it is specifically set nine years later.

 It’s because Fu Jiusheng mentioned that based on his experience, it will take at least nine years for the nine-striped snake saliva fruit to mature.

 Nine years is a basic period of time.

 As for whether you left early?

 Better sooner rather than later!

Before leaving, Luo Chen suddenly asked: "Great Elder, your magical tea..."

“You mean this third-grade Bodhi tea?” He Lianyun replied.

Luo Chen nodded, "Yes, it tastes pretty good."

He Lianyun thought for a while and said, "I still have some. I can order someone to send a box to fellow Taoists to the cave."

Hearing this reply, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile with joy.

 “In that case, thank you so much, fellow Taoist!”

 Then, he left Lianyun Tower under the moonlight.

 After he left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.

He Lianyun sat back on the main seat that Luo Chen had always occupied. He picked up the teapot and was about to pour himself a cup, but found that it was empty.

 He was stunned.

 When did you drink it all?

Next to her, Mrs. Yousha said faintly: "In the past, I only heard about Luo Chen's many deeds and thought it was easy to get in touch. But I didn't expect that this person was so domineering and even greedy. What kind of modest and gentlemanly behavior? The rumors mislead me! "

 This sentence was absolutely recognized by the other three people!

Luo Chen's performance today is indeed very uncomfortable.

 He ​​was clearly invited, but he was not only anti-customer, he was also extremely domineering in many cooperation matters, leaving no room for others to fight for.

 But unfortunately, they have something to ask for from others.

 Suddenly!

 Fu Jiusheng asked a question.

“Xiao Sanren, have you noticed Luo Chen’s current state?”
