Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 620: A distinguished guest is coming, and the Taoist feeds the dragon

 “Why should he!”

In a cave full of spiritual energy, Huangfu Song smashed the tea cup in his hand with an angry look on his face.

　　Why would you dare to put a price tag of 500,000 yuan on a mere low-grade defensive magic weapon? Do you really think that a monk in the world of immortality is a fool?

 The Duke of Gui, who was reporting the news next to him, looked helpless when he saw this.

He can probably understand what Huangfu Song is angry about.

Being timid in front of Demon Lord Qingyang was once the biggest shame in Huangfusong's heart. Even though he often convinced himself that those who achieve great things can bend and stretch, but he paid attention to the movements of Demon Lord Qingyang from time to time, which shows that he has not given up on this. thing.

Now that Qingyang Demon Lord has refined the second defensive magic weapon, it means that the opponent's success is not a coincidence.

 Such treasures are very marketable, and the prices have always remained high.

In this way, Qingyang Demon Lord's financial resources will be endless. The plan to expect that the other party's savings will not be enough to support the huge rent and be forced to withdraw from Penghu will end in vain.

 The combination of the two resulted in Huangfusong's current gaffe.

But now, their cave master purchased this treasure and studied it carefully. This so-called treasure of the store will be bought after only two days.

He said to the gentle woman, "Where is the bright yellow rock armor?"

“Huh?” Cave Master Moyun frowned.

Even the most famous master of casting in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, Master Moyun Cave, came in person. Is this a disguised recognition of Master Qingyangzi’s casting skills?

 In Longyuan Immortal City.

The crowd behind him came here because of his fame. When they saw the master of Moyun Cave, those who knew him immediately revealed his identity.

 Could it be that Master Qingyangzi is already comparable to the master of Moyun Cave?

Cave Master Moyun paid no attention to the commotion behind him and walked straight to the counter.

Moyun Cave Master waved his sleeves and strode up the stairs.

 Seeing the middle-aged Taoist talking and laughing calmly, the master of Moyun Cave blurted out.

Wenxiu followed closely behind.

Duke Gui said in a sharp voice: "Lord, there are some things that we should let go of. Don't delay our own important things."

"He treats it as a treasure of the store, so the price has to be set high. Five hundred thousand, the foundation-building monks can't afford it, and some people who are new to the golden elixir are also short of money. Only the old gold elixir that has been in business for many years Monk Dan can get this spiritual stone, but these people often have a suitable protective treasure during their years of practice, so why would they choose to buy another treasure from afar? "

Huangfusong was stunned.

Thinking of this, Huangfusong's face became more and more distorted.

"Huh, don't I still have you? Besides, Zi Queen also promised to help me once I tried my best to beg you."

It is Huo Fang, the deputy city lord of Longyuan Immortal City.

 This is an excellent price stage, which not only makes people retreat, but also does not really treat people as fools.

"Fellow Taoist Moyun, it's just a low-grade magic weapon. Why bother to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this? How about giving it to Huo this time?"

 For a time, the crowd was in an uproar.

 In response, Moyun Cave Master curled his lips.

When Moyun Cave Master entered the VIP room, there was a burst of laughter.

He knows better than anyone what it means to take the initiative to send greetings!

Moyun Cave Master hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

It's just that you can refine defensive magic weapons. Do you need to be so shameless in flattering me?

 …

“Master, I’m afraid I can’t let you see this treasure now.”

“Hmph, I want to see who dares to compete with me for the treasure!”

“Ahem, my lord, I heard that Queen Zi took the initiative to send a greeting card to Penghu.”

 “A son with a lot of money, why should he risk his life if he can’t sit down in the hall?”

　　　　　　　…

 Outside the Qingyang store.

 The subordinates suddenly realized.

Wenxiu recognized the origin of the other party and felt a little nervous, but she tried her best to keep a neither humble nor arrogant expression on her face.

Huangfusong glared at him sideways, "Why should I give up? Do you really think that I am inferior to him? That time, it was in the dojo that the other party has run for many years, with the blessing of a large array, but our hands were tied up. In another place, who would fight between me and him? It’s not known yet!”

 “That bitch…”

 No wonder a low-grade defensive magic weapon is priced so high, but not that high.

If you don't show courtesy first and then fight, it means that the other party is determined to make good friends with the Qingyang Demon Lord.

“I would like to see the quality of this magic weapon you made, and I won’t hesitate to pay half a million spiritual stones for it.”

Before he could get angry, Wenxiu quickly explained, "There is a buyer upstairs who is negotiating with my husband. He must first..."

Moyun Cave Master strode forward, pushed through the bustling crowd, and walked into the Qingyang Horn.

 Some subordinates were puzzled as to why Qingyangzi set such a high price.

 “Huo Fang!”

“Don’t you have a medium-grade defensive magic weapon called the Heavenly Ring? Why do you still need to..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized something.

 “Are you buying this for the Endless Valley?”

 Huo Fang smiled and nodded, his expression calm and calm, as if he was not worried at all that the other party would raise the price with him.

Moyun Cave Master is a little confused here.

Although Huo Fang is the deputy city lord of Longyuan Immortal City, he is not a vassal of Master Longyuan, nor is he a demon hunter like Diaosou and Zihou in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

 This person comes from the Endless Valley!

As we all know, the Ten Thousand Immortals Society is known as the holy land for casual cultivators, but it is not that pure.

 In addition to the three great Sanren and the Nine-Star Demon Hunter promoted Master Long Yuan, there are also three other Masters Nascent Soul.

 Those three people have the power to control them behind their backs.

The Chen Family of Tianqu, the Zhou Family of Coral Sea, and a sect named Wu Ending Valley.

This Huo Fang is from Wu Ending Valley. In addition to being the deputy city lord of Long Yuan, he is also the third disciple of Wu Ending Valley's Yuling Zhenren, and also serves as the elder of Wu Ending Valley.

The reason why I came to Longyuan Immortal City to perform my duties is related to a rule established in the early years of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

 The three major forces cannot get too involved in the Ten Thousand Immortals Society, just as an alliance.

 In order to make up for their losses, the three Sanren people deliberately gave up part of the interests of Longyuan Immortal City.

 The price is the position of deputy city lord.

The three major forces, after some discussion, decided to let Huo Fang serve as the deputy city lord to seize their interests for the three major forces.

These benefits are not just as simple as cultivating resources, but more importantly, "recruiting talents"!

 There are heroes in the wilderness, and there are talents among the casual cultivators.

 Among the countless groups of casual cultivators, there will always be some people with special talents.

The significance of Huo Fang's role as deputy city lord is to win over some powerful casual cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

Why does Tamoyun know this?

 No one else, because he is one of the people who have been included!

Moyun Cave has refined so many magical weapons over the years, but only some of them have flowed into the casual cultivators. Most of them were bought by the three major forces.

If Moyun Cave Master hadn't been loose by nature and unwilling to be restrained, the three major forces would have even offered him the position of guest elder and supported him with heavy sums of money.

 And now.

Huo Fang came to Qingyang in person to buy this low-grade magic weapon that was useless to him. What this meant was immediately understood by the master of Moyun Cave.

What he is interested in is not the Minghuang Rock Armor, but Qingyangzi who refined it.

 Just like back then, they looked at me the same way!

Seeing Moyun Cave Master deep in thought, Huo Fang suddenly spoke.

"You want this thing just for research. This matter is not contrary to our purpose. On the contrary, it can help us identify this thing and even help you save a lot of spiritual stones."

"Fellow Taoist Moyun, leave it to me, the best of both worlds. Later, I will also give you time to study this treasure."

Moyun Cave Master thought for a moment and agreed to the matter without hesitation.

 And outside the house.

 Zhang Jiadi and Wenxiu did not dare to breathe.

Even if you want to chat privately, you are still afraid of being overheard by Master Jindan’s consciousness.

 After a while, chatter and laughter came from the room.

The door opened and Cave Master Moyun came out, never mentioning the purchase of Minghuang Rock Armor again.

 “Deputy City Lord!” Zhang Jiadi saluted respectfully.

 Huo Fang hummed, his eyes fell on Zhang Jiadi and his wife, and he blinked.

“I heard that Taoist friend Qingyangzi doesn’t have many capable assistants around him. It’s the couple who have been helping him with his secular affairs?”

Zhang Jiadi nodded quickly, "Yes, I have established a family of immortal cultivators. I rely on the Lord to live and work in peace and contentment. I usually help the Lord handle some things."

 “Is this so…”

Huo Fang pursed his lips, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger.

 …

  One month later.

 A green greeting card was delivered to Pengdao Tianxuan.

“The master said that he would go into seclusion and not see outsiders. What is Xiao Zhang doing?”

Over the years, countless people have tried to visit Luo Chen, and the number of greeting cards handed to his door has piled up like a mountain.

 Among them, there are many powerful ones who are quite famous among casual cultivators.

 But even so, Luo Chen never saw anyone.

Especially after releasing the second defensive magic weapon, he anticipated the subsequent repercussions and specifically told Tianxuan to keep the visitors away from Penghu so as not to affect his practice.

 Under such circumstances, Zhang Jiadi still dared to hand over a greeting card?

 Under Tianxuan’s displeased gaze, Zhang Jiadi swallowed.

"The person who gave this greeting card has a special status." "Huh?"

“It’s Mr. Huo Fang, the deputy city lord of Longyuan Immortal City.”

 “Huo Fang?”

Tianxuan's expression soon changed as she read the name.

Huo Fang does not represent Longyuan Immortal City, but represents Wu Ending Valley, as well as the Tianqu Chen family and the Coral Sea Zhou family.

 In other words, he represents the three Nascent Soul Masters in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association!

The master can ignore those powerful Jindan stage cultivators, but the face of the three Yuanying masters is not so easy to brush off.

Taking a deep breath, Tianxuan took the invitation and hurried towards the Alchemy Palace.

 When we got there, we saw no movement.

“Master, doesn’t he have an alchemy forging tool?”

Without thinking, she came to the outside of Xingdou Palace and stood still for a long time.

Even if something happened, she would not dare to disturb her master's practice.

 Luckily, Luo Chen's spiritual consciousness was strong and he had a special mental connection between the spirit beast and his master, so he quickly noticed her arrival.

 “What’s the matter?”

“Master, Huo Fang, the deputy city lord of Longyuan, handed over the greeting card.”

"give it to me!"

The thick copper door slowly opened, revealing a gap. A burst of magic power swept in and rolled in the post held in Tianxuan's hand.

 Then, the bronze door slowly closed again.

Looking calm, but at that moment, Tianxuan's complexion changed drastically, her heart was turbulent, and even the demonic energy that had been restrained in her body for many years leaked out uncontrollably.

 “Gudong!”

 “What kind of breath is that!”

Tianxuan swallowed involuntarily.

At that moment, she seemed to feel a wild beast awakening.

 The natural suppression of rank made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

“Master, what are you practicing?”

 …

 Inside the Xingdou Hall.

Luo Chen’s eyes were closed tightly, but there seemed to be rivers and lakes running through his body.

 There are big bumps on the body from time to time, as if someone is beating a cowhide drum.

Hong Zhongdalu's voice sounded from time to time in the star-studded hall.

 Listen carefully, these sounds are coming from within his body.

“The initial body training, from outsiders to insiders, small achievements are the realm of vajra.”

“After entering the hall and entering the room, the blood energy surges like a river. This is the blood river state.”

“Since then, I have clearly understood the changes in qi and blood, held the elixir to gather my mind, condensed the qi, and achieved the third level of body refining, the furnace state.”

“This is the traditional path of body refining, but I took a different approach and followed the path of body refining that imitated the desolate beast. I didn’t pay attention to changes in Qi and blood, but only focused on physical strength.”

"After many years of practice, he has exchanged blood eight times, reshaped his bones six out of two hundred times, and with the blessing of the Black Emperor's Paste, his body is stronger than the body of a puppet. But in the end, the practice is too complex and cannot be a perfect whole."

"Now, I use the method of forging tools to forge a precious body. Taking the meaning of thousands of times of tempering, I will do the work of smelting limbs and bones, and the eight meridians. In the future, I will definitely be able to swallow the wilderness!"

As his mind was rising and falling, the qi and blood in his body were being refined by the Ku Rong True Fire, forming powerful forces that bombarded Luo Chen's internal organs.

 Under such bombardment, those internal organs and meridians became stronger and tougher.

This is the latest body-refining method developed by Luo Chen.

 Use Qi and blood as firewood, burn them with the true fire of dry glory, form a more powerful inner strength, and then use this strength to hammer the body.

  Supplemented by a large amount of blood food, it can improve Qi and blood.

There is also the external fourth-level Black Emperor Cream, which continuously improves physical strength.

As a result, his body-refining method became more and more perfect, and he did not blindly follow the ancient methods, but only sought to suit his own body.

 The change is that the body refining progress is improving faster and faster on the attribute panel.

We are only a dozen or so steps away from the ancient fourth level, so we are very close!

 When the cycle of the universe was completed, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes fell on the invitation card in his hand.

 After reading for a long time, he smiled.

 “Let’s meet!”

 …

 Three days later, a large ship slowly set off from the shore of Penghu.

The Zhang family of Cailian Island advocated that Jiadi personally take charge of the helm, and Fairy Tianxuan personally accompanied him.

 Huo Fang was not the only distinguished guest on the ship.

 He also brought along a junior from the Tianqu Chen family and a junior from the Coral Sea Zhou family.

In addition, there are three other people: Master Moyun Cave Master, Eight-Star Demon Hunter Zi Queen, and Diaosou.

 The visit of the last three people was regarded as a favor to Huo Fang.

However, now that we are on the boat, it means Luo Chen’s approval.

The reason is very simple. Before, everyone was treated equally and no one could see anyone. Now that they want to see Huo Fang, it means that a precedent has been set. It would be better to meet Diaosou and Purple Queen at the same time. After all, he is also the top figure among the casual cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. It is better not to offend him.

At this moment, a group of people were standing on the boat, facing the wind, admiring the scenery of the eight hundred miles of Penghu.

 At ordinary times, the smoke is vast and no one is visible.

At this moment, when the formation is turned on, the water vapor and haze dissipate, revealing a small island with green mountains and green lake water, which can be regarded as a holy land of immortals.

Especially under the boat, the golden dragons and carps swimming by from time to time gradually gather into a scene of thousands of carps leaping together, which is a spectacular sight.

Huo Fang stood at the front, watching this scene and couldn't help but nod.

 “It seems that Qingyangzi has managed this Penghu spiritual land really well!”

 Others nodded in agreement.

A young female nun with a melon-shaped face suddenly let out a startled sound.

“Hey, why are the golden dragons and carp here in your place black and gold?”

Tianxuan glanced at them and said calmly: "Having lived here for a long time, they have been contaminated with the dragon's energy and have undergone some changes, which is reasonable."

 The energy of a dragon?

The young female cultivator was stunned, and the foundation-building cultivator from Tianqu Chen's family explained to her in a low voice: "The Lord of Penghu has a spiritual pet, which is a giant black-scaled dragon. It once almost swallowed a middle-stage Jindan cultivator. Duanduan is extremely powerful.”

 The woman suddenly realized something.

Jiaolong has lived here for a long time, and even the golden dragon carp with some micro-dragon blood has also evolved. I just wonder how the black gold dragon carp tastes?

 When these words fell into the ears of those Golden Elixir Masters, they all had different ideas.

Purple Queen: "This Qingyangzi has made Penghu so prosperous. Now even Huo Fang has taken the initiative to come to cooperate. His position in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association has become more and more stable. This time I took the initiative to come to visit and break the ice for the last misunderstanding." , so as not to hinder my future path.”

 Many friends are better than many enemies!

 As for Huangfu Song, who has some connection with her?

It is still tossing on the territory held by Jin Danzongmen, and it is a little troubled. In her opinion, it is really impossible to be a climate.

If you want to restore the Zhou Dynasty, I don’t know what year and month it will take?

What's more, even in the Great Zhou Dynasty at its peak, the Yuan Ying ancestors in it had to hide like mice and could not see the light at all.

The so-called glory of the dynasty, she, the Purple Queen, does not want to enjoy it at all in her life.

 Diaosou was different. He just wanted to see Qingyangzi and ask him when he would end his retreat and be able to go about his normal activities.

He wants to communicate more with the other person so that he can learn more about the birth of a baby from the other person's mouth.

 As for the owner of Moyun Cave who lives alone in a corner?

At this moment, his face was full of hesitation and a bit impatient.

After studying the bright yellow rock armor, he felt as if a cat was scratching his paws and was itching to death.

How did Qingyangzi achieve the perfect fusion of the formation and the magic weapon embryo?

Obviously it is just the most ordinary material, but under the strange technique, it has the defensive power to withstand the attacks of early-stage Golden Core monks and even middle-stage Golden Core monks.

He has never seen or heard of such techniques.

If he can learn a thing or two, his weapon casting skills will be qualitatively improved. Maybe in his lifetime, he will be able to refine the rumored real weapon!

Huo Fang looked at this scene with a smile on his face.

“Fellow Taoist Tianxuan, how long will it take?”

Tianxuan replied: "After passing this Flying Falcon Island, we will arrive."

Huo Fang looked at the island in front of him. There were short-tailed blackbirds perched among the trees. When they took off and landed, they moved very quickly.

It's a pity that it's not a spiritual bird, otherwise if it were cultivated and taken out, there would be many people who wanted it.

Just when he was feeling emotional, the big boat turned and passed Feiguo Island, and a mirror-like water surface came into view.

 When the breeze blows, there seems to be a dragon roaring.

 Everyone looked intently and saw a Taoist priest in white robes throwing pill pills into the water. Suddenly, a huge black dragon head jumped out of the water and swallowed the pill pills into his mouth with great joy.

 At this moment, the white-robed Taoist turned his head.

 He clapped his hands, as if to wipe away the debris on his hands, and to disperse the black dragon.

When the black dragon turned over and dived into the bottom of the lake, causing waves, the white-robed Taoist laughed loudly and said:

"Have friends come from afar!"

“Fellow Taoists, Qingyangzi is polite here!”
