In box No. 8, Dan Chenzi, the top alchemist of the Poshan Gang, was playing with the small cauldron in his hand.
Yes, Xiaoding.
In addition to the Earth Mountain Formation, Firm Wall Formation, and Fire Gathering Formation, this Four Symbol Cauldron actually has a Ruyi Formation.
Therefore, the size can be as desired, from the size of one foot high to the size of one hand.
Dan Chenzi - Luo Chen, I really like it.
With this cauldron, he has one more choice whether it is attack or defense.
And although its alchemy function is not as outstanding as the orthodox high-grade alchemy cauldron, it is more than enough to hold three or four furnaces of raw materials in one furnace.
If the alchemist is sufficiently accomplished, it is not impossible to download five raw materials at a time.
Seeing that Luo Chen took it for granted, he naturally put the small tripod into the storage bag. Mi Junping next to him reminded him sourly:
"Luo Chen, this is not bought for you, but the property of Dantang."
"Harm, I know, I'm just keeping it for the time being, keeping it for the time being!"
Luo Chen laughed, as if he understood very well.
But no matter who looked at it, they all knew that Luo Chen was planning to take it for himself.
Mi Shuhua didn't care, as long as the Luochen people were still in his hands, the Four Symbols Cauldron still belonged to him.
How to put it, it's like buying a better sledge for the cattle you plow!
Now, the cow is still very happy, but it will have to work harder in the future!
He smiled and said: "I just took a look, and this cauldron is not as useless as I thought. Generally, high-grade magical weapons can only burn three first-order formations. Magical weapons that can burn four formations are basically top-grade ones." Magical weapon."
"Perhaps the four formations of the Four Symbol Cauldron are not well matched, but the material itself is good enough, and if used properly, it can be regarded as a small top-notch magic weapon."
"We made a small profit from this auction."
After hearing what he said, Luo Chen liked the Four Symbol Cauldron even more.
Although it is the property of Dantang, is he using it?
He also gets a share of the Dan Tang's profits.
It can only be said that different people have different views on the same thing.
In short, everyone felt that they had made a good deal by buying the Four Elephants Cauldron.
There are a lot of transaction processes at auctions!
But under the auspices of Luo Tianhong, an experienced foundation-building monk, the process was carried out in an orderly manner and did not feel cumbersome.
The fourth phase of the auction has ended.
As for the last item, it was the turn of the host, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.
The first lot they took out directly pushed the bidding fever to a climax.
"Five foundation-building pills, auctioned separately."
"The starting price for the first one is one thousand spirit stones. Fellow Taoists who are interested in building a foundation can start bidding!"
The starting price is only one thousand spirit stones?
So low?
For a moment, everyone's breathing became rapid.
Even Luo Chen was moved. He also had a thousand and five spiritual stones on him.
Haha, it's time for Dan Chenzi to take action.
"One thousand and one!"
"One thousand and two!"
"One thousand and four!"
"two thousand!"
"Three thousand!"
"I will give you five thousand spiritual stones!"
Listening to the increasingly higher prices, Luo Chen had already tightly shut his mouth.
Mi Shuhua next to him smiled slightly, "It's normal for the starting price to be low, because there is no need to worry about selling the Foundation Establishment Pill. It's just that the person hosting the auction wants to heat up the atmosphere."
Sikong Shoujia, who also participated in the bidding, heard this and stopped his meaningless actions helplessly.
In fact, he really wanted to buy a Foundation Building Pill for his son Sikong Yuanhong.
In this way, there may be no need to let the son enter the family.
However, the price is really prohibitive.
Luo Chen muttered a few words, then asked Mi Shuhua curiously.
"Gang Leader, after all, the Foundation Establishment Pill is just a second-level pill. One or two thousand pills is already very unreasonable. Considering its special nature, I can understand three or four thousand pills."
"But now, the price is almost 6,000 spirit stones. Is the premium too high?"
Mi Shuhua laughed dumbly, "You ask me? Then why don't you ask those casual cultivators who bid? Ask them if they want to give up the only chance to build a foundation in their lives?"
Luo Chen sighed.
Yes, if I had enough wealth, I would not let this opportunity go.
But think about it carefully, with my qualifications, can a Foundation Building Pill really build a foundation?
Rumor has it that many talented monks have a high chance of failure when taking the Foundation Building Pill.
Then it's even more impossible for him.
Thinking of this, Luo Chen felt that the clear path he had originally planned had become bleak again.
When the Foundation Building Pill was captured by a famous casual cultivator from Dahefang with 6,800 spirit stones.
The monks' enthusiasm for bidding has waned somewhat.
But as the second shot continued, their enthusiasm grew again.
Only this time, after they tried twice, they stopped bidding in fear.
Because this time, the ones bidding against them were no longer the isolated cultivators, but the great foundation-builders sitting in the boxes!
"Two thousand five hundred low-grade spiritual stones!"
"Is there anyone else bidding?"
"Two thousand five times, once, twice, three times, deal!"
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist in Box No. 12 for receiving this Foundation Building Pill."
Box No. 12 is the place where the Nangong family, the Xiuxian family, established its foundation.
The next three Foundation Building Pills also fell into the hands of the Duan family, Li family, and Dajiang Gang Wang Haichao one after another.
Moreover, every Foundation Establishment Pill is almost sold for around 2,500 spirit stones, which is only the price of a high-grade magic weapon.
Seeing this scene of tacit understanding, all the casual cultivators in the late Qi refining stage felt extremely aggrieved.
Not only them, Sikong Shoujia in Box 8 also turned red.
"Gang leader, I have a small fortune, why don't you let me bid?"
Mi Shuhua put away his smile and stared at him coldly.
"If you want to die, then of course I won't stop you."
"But……"
"There's nothing wrong with that." Mi Shuhua sneered, "The major foundation-building forces are willing to give up a foundation-building pill to the rootless cultivators, which is already considered kind. The remaining few pills, Don’t even think about it.”
Mi Junping couldn't help but ask: "Then why didn't you take action, father?"
"I already have more than one Foundation Establishment Pill in my hand. It's not my turn to take action this time. This is what everyone has agreed on before."
Luo Chen stood behind him, watching all this silently.
It turns out that the ownership of the Foundation Establishment Pill has already been decided.
Everyone was sharing the pork in a tacit understanding, and the only extra piece was probably a glimmer of hope left for the casual cultivators after being warned by the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.
If there are any unscrupulous cultivators, they will forcefully bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill at the back.
In terms of financial resources, they are definitely not as good as the foundation-building forces.
On the contrary, if the bidding fails in the end, these foundation-building forces will be offended.
After the auction ends, what will greet the casual cultivator will be the thunderous fury of the foundation-building cultivator, and even the pursuit of a force.
After analyzing this answer, Luo Chen felt even more confused.
With one or two Foundation Establishment Pills, he was still confident that he could rely on alchemy to earn enough spiritual stones to purchase them.
If there are a few more, and he fights for his life, it is not impossible before his life is approaching.
However, if at every auction, several foundation-building forces come out to bid tacitly, even if he has hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, it will be of no avail.
How can Qi refining be the enemy of foundation building!
In this helpless mood, the auction has come to an end unknowingly.
Later, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect came up with many good things, and even a pill-forming elixir, which caused many foundation builders to start bidding furiously.
But those have nothing to do with Luo Chen.
When leaving the venue, Mi Shuhua suddenly patted Luo Chen on the shoulder, who was walking with his head lowered.
"Why are you so frustrated?"
Luo Chen raised his head and subconsciously responded, "Gang leader."
Mi Shuhua showed a kind smile and said, "If you one day achieve perfect Qi refining, I will definitely support you in building a foundation, but it's just a foundation building pill!"
Luo Chen felt a warm current in his heart.
In this cold and heartless world of immortality, there are indeed many good people!
…
It was already dark, and Luo Chen didn't know where the monks who participated in the auction were going.
He was just alone and returned to the courtyard.
When he met Qin Liangchen and his wife and Gu Caiyi who were returning home, he talked about what he saw at today's auction.
Everyone marveled at the rare treasures and lamented that the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect was so wealthy that they were willing to put the magic treasures up for auction.
When Luo Chen smiled and talked about what Mi Shuhua said when he left.
Qin Liangchen was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "He also said this to me. He also said it to Han Dang, the heart-eating tiger who had perfected Qi refining back then. As for other people..."
Murong Qinglian shook her head, "Anyway, in the past hundred years, the Poshan Gang has not produced a second foundation-building casual cultivator."
Luo Chen was stunned and immediately started to slap the case.
"Old man, how dare you bully me like this!"
Early the next morning, a young man waited outside the gate of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion for a long time despite the heavy snow.
As soon as the door opened, he walked straight in.
"Five bottles of Chenchen Dan, and a box of calming incense."
The maid who was still yawning couldn't help but be startled when she heard this.
She subconsciously replied: "One bottle of Chenchen Dan, two hundred spiritual stones, and one box of Anshen Incense, one hundred and twenty spiritual stones."
"This is one thousand one hundred and twenty spiritual stones. Please count them!"
"Oh, okay guest, please wait a moment."
After the young man left, the maid still couldn't come to her senses.
Meet a monk who seems to be very wealthy?
Normally, casual cultivators usually buy Qi-nourishing pills, but they are also very picky about them.
Good elixirs like the Chenchen Pill are basically only bought by monks in the late stage of Qi refining, and they are bought individually in bottles.
That person just now actually bought five bottles in one go.
"Are all casual cultivators so rich now?"
…
Luo Chen didn't know whether the others had money.
All he knew was that the Qi Nourishing Pill had almost no effect on him who had been promoted to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
In order to ensure the speed of his practice, he must switch to new pills.
Chenchen Pill is the best choice at the moment.
As a leader among first-level elixirs, Huachen Dan has always been known for its powerful and pure medicine.
Even the low-grade dust-changing pills sold externally are more than twice as effective as the Qi-nourishing pills.
When Gu Caiyi was still in Tianxiang Tower, she was able to break through the bottleneck in one go and was promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining because of the high-grade Dust Transformation Pill given by Fei Bowen, a monk in the later stage of foundation building.
Luo Chen couldn't afford the high-grade Chenhua Dan, and he had no place to buy it.
This kind of good thing is almost not sold by the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion as regular elixirs. They only sell low-grade elixirs to casual cultivators.
Just yesterday at the auction, a large number of middle-grade and top-grade elixirs were auctioned.
Looking at it from the perspective of a conspiracy theory, Luo Chen had to suspect that the Yaowang Sect behind the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion only digested the good elixirs internally, or only sold them to major sects.
In this way, it can also be ensured that the monks of the sect, in addition to their combat power, can improve their cultivation far beyond that of casual cultivators.
Moreover, ordinary casual cultivators don’t actually have that spending power.
Without thinking about these things, Luo Chen once again planned his practice plan.
The cruel reality of the Foundation Establishment Pill yesterday did not knock him down.
It's just a temporary depression!
In just one night, Luo Chen had already cheered up.
The top priority is to perfect the Qi refining and the Foundation Establishment Pill. We can plan it carefully in the future!
Thinking too much now is just unfounded worry.
Instead of thinking about these, it is better to think about how much help people like Dantang, Poshan Gang, and Mi Shuhua can provide him.
"The Qi Nourishing Pill is useless to me. I have to find a reason to ask the Poshan Gang to replace it with the Dust Transformation Pill."
"The reason is actually easy to find. It mainly depends on how much value I can bring to Mi Shuhua."
"And from the fact that Mi Shuhua bought me the Four-Elephant Cauldron without even taking a breath, it shows that I have great value in his heart."
Not only the Four Elephant Cauldron, but also from the daily treatment to the gentle words from time to time.
Luo Chen knew very well that Mi Shuhua valued him very much.
Even the level of emphasis is still higher than that of Qin Liangchen, Han Dang, and Wang Yuan.
After all, it’s the spiritual stone!
"Yesterday, Mi Shuhua bought that magic weapon, which almost wiped out his family fortune, otherwise he wouldn't have sold so many things."
"The Poshan Gang's profits are huge. But many of those profits are not immediate. And if you want so many casual cultivators to be willing to follow the Poshan Gang, you will naturally have to share a lot of benefits."
"In comparison, Chalcedony Pill is a new source of wealth."
"As of now, the channels for Chalcedony Pill have almost been developed. Either the Dahefang shop, cooperation with the Dajiang Gang, or the local immortal cultivating family."
"Now that we have the channel, Mi Shuhua has obtained a magic weapon, and his strength has greatly increased. There may be support from the remaining monks from the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion behind him."
"In this way, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!"
As for this east wind, Luo Chen knew very well what it was.
Yield!
"If you want me to increase production, I can't just rely on a high-grade alchemy cauldron!"
Luo Chen sneered.
He had felt guilty before, feeling that he had taken away too much from the old man.
But when he saw the other party spending a lot of money yesterday, he knew that he was still too kind.
When he left the city, he saw two bodyguards waiting at the city gate.
However, the other party did not notice him at first, but looked up at the city head.
"What are you doing?"
Luo Chen smiled warmly and leaned over.
As Zhou Yuanli raised his hand and pointed, he looked up and saw dozens of heads densely packed together.
In other words, Luo Chen had experienced two battles and was not frightened.
But even so, I felt a chill in my heart.
"these are?"
Zhou Yuanli sighed, "They are basically all casual cultivators."
"What did they do?"
"What else can they do?" Liu Qiang sneered: "These people are crazy. They carried out mass killings in the inner city last night. They really think that the Jiange law enforcement team is just a decoration!"
If you look closely, you will see that almost all of the hanging heads have expressions of horror on their faces.
On the neck, the incision is extremely smooth.
Although flying sword weapons are generally known for their sharpness, when fighting, accompanied by a surge of spiritual power, their destructive power is limited to a limited area.
In other words, the sword cultivators from the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, even if they don't use sword pills, they can still show some sword cultivator style with ordinary flying swords in their hands.
When he took action, the sword light was condensed and his spiritual power was like silk.
If you don't hit it, it's fine. If you hit it, it will cut into gold and jade, and the limbs will be cut flatly.
"It's a pity that the law enforcement team only cares about the safety of the inner city now. As long as there is no big trouble in the outer city, they don't care." Zhou Yuanli said.
Liu Qiang sneered: "Indeed, at least hundreds of conflicts broke out in the outer city last night. This is not a big mess, right?"
Luo Chen was shocked.
Last night, was there so much chaos in the outer city?
Suddenly, he felt it was natural again.
There are so many eye-catching goodies at the auction.
Some people who lose bids are always unwilling to give in.
Anyone who lives in the inner city will be visited, not to mention some casual cultivators who leave the city under cover of darkness?
As a result of the chain reaction, chaos broke out in the outer city, which was normal.
"I just hope this kind of thing doesn't come to me!"
Luo Chen shook his head and flew towards Xianyue Valley with two bodyguards.
It's relatively safe in broad daylight.
Those robbery cultivators still have to consider the face of the Jiange law enforcement team more or less.
Forget about getting into trouble at night, you have to be more peaceful during the day.
…
Boom!
The dull sound spread.
Dozens of people peered into the alchemy room and whispered to each other.
Their alchemy hall actually has a high-grade alchemy cauldron!
After Luo Chen arranged the Four Symbols Cauldron, he arranged for someone to move the Xuanyun Cauldron from the original big alchemy room to another small alchemy room.
It's a bit crowded, but it's adequate.
When he came out, he found that it was silent outside.
Mi Shuhua is here!
"Gang leader, good morning!"
Luo Chen greeted him with a smile, not showing the anger he had when he scolded "old man" last night.
Mi Shuhua also smiled and nodded, "I have nothing to do today. I was passing by here just to see if the Four Elephant Cauldron fits your hand."
Passing by?
Luo Chen's mouth twitched and he didn't say much.
With a wave of his hand, the monks under him got busy.
After a while, everything was ready.
Luo Chen concentrated on staying in the Great Alchemy Room. Today he wanted to get familiar with the Four Symbols Cauldron.
Light the fire, open the cauldron, and put in the four raw materials in sequence.
With his hands turning like flowers, he peeled off four pieces of jade, and chalcedony fell into the cauldron.
"Not enough firepower?"
Luo Chen closed the lid of the cauldron and doubled the amount of firewood in the fire pit.
Not only that, a fireball was shot. Under the technique of Nongyan Jue, the fireball divided into thin streams and continued to burn the alchemy cauldron.
During this process, Luo Chen became more and more familiar with the magical effect of the Four Symbols Cauldron in alchemy.
After a long time, he walked out slightly tired.
"I'm very lucky today. I have forty pills, fifteen of them are of medium quality, and twenty-five of them are of low quality."
Mi Shuhua took the pills as white as jade from Luo Chen's hand.
After careful observation, he showed a satisfied look.
"It's very good. You can see preliminary results as soon as you get started. Once you get familiar with it, there will definitely be a big breakthrough in the amount of chalcedony pills that can be produced."
"It all depends on the gang leader's cultivation!" Luo Chen said modestly.
Mi Shuhua shook his head, "If you can produce an alchemist by relying on me as a foundation-building monk, then the alchemist will be worthless long ago. Your talent is the truly precious thing."
With a sigh, he looked at the tired Luo Chen and frowned.
"Will you be so tired after refining the elixir once?"
Luo Chen smiled bitterly, "Gang leader, the Four-Elephant Cauldron is a top-grade magic weapon. Even if you only use the alchemy function, it will consume a lot of spiritual energy to activate it once."
"Moreover, no one can help them at the moment. They rely on me to make elixirs by myself. How can I not be tired?"
That being said, it makes sense.
During the alchemy process just now, Mi Shuhua also relied on his spiritual consciousness and paid full attention to Luo Chen's movements in the alchemy room.
Processing the raw materials, dispensing the medicine, when to open the lid, when to control the firepower, and in the meantime, use spiritual power to stir the liquid inside the cauldron from time to time.
After these tedious steps, in the later stage of ordinary Qi refining, I am afraid that most of the mental and spiritual power will be consumed.
Refining an elixir once is almost like fighting against a monk of the same level.
He thought for a while and said, "Do you need any help?"
Luo Chen said bluntly, "I want the Chenchen Pill! At least four bottles a month!"
Hearing this number, Sikong Shoujia and even Gu Caiyi held their breath.
Four bottles of Chenchen Dan, that's almost 800 spiritual stones.
Currently, none of the Nine Hall Leaders in the gang, apart from dividends, have such treatment.
Moreover, Luo Chen only had five bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills and only five hundred spirit stones in the previous month.
It has risen so much all of a sudden, it’s really a lion’s mouth!
However, Mi Shuhua just pondered for a moment and nodded directly.
"No problem, anyway, Mi Junping will give you a dividend today. I asked her to replace all Qi-nourishing pills with Chenchen-transforming pills."
"However, you must give me a satisfactory answer for the number of chalcedony pills this month."
Luo Chen hummed, but did not agree directly.
Mi Shuhua did not insist on hearing the military order. After a few words of caution about safety, he left the alchemy hall.
After he left, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know why, but Mi Shuhua's power is more powerful than before, especially when he doesn't smile.
Maybe it was that magic weapon that gave him enough confidence!
Luo Chen looked back at the Four Elephants Cauldron in the Great Alchemy Room, with a slight smile on his face.
Now, he actually has confidence.
