"Huo, it's almost winter before I know it."
Luo Chen ducked into the garment shop and shook off the fine snow on his body.
I couldn't help but sigh.
The last time winter came, it was the last time.
Time flies, and almost a year has passed.
This year, too many things have happened. Even if he was looking for someone to make tea around the stove and talk about the past, he, Luo Chen, didn't know where to start.
He only knew a little.
In May last year, he was at the third level of Qi refining stage.
Now in less than two years, he has reached the ninth level of Qi refining stage, and has already begun to make plans for foundation building.
The speed of entry is staggering!
I believe even the genius of the sect would be stunned if they saw it!
But none of this comes out of thin air.
Consuming so many resources every day for hundreds of days, and converting them into spiritual stones, even a foundation-building monk would be horrified by it.
Only Luo Chen has the right way to make money can he support such high-speed practice.
I said hello to the old woman at the clothing store.
After crossing the incision and putting on the mask, Luo Chen once again stepped into the underground hall of Zhenlong Black Market.
This was the second month after the destruction of the inner city of Dahefang, and the second time Zhenlong Black Market was held as scheduled.
As soon as he entered, Luo Chen noticed a familiar sight falling on him.
The other party didn't hide it, but it didn't contain any malice.
Feeling the gentle gaze, Luo Chen nodded towards that person.
It's Tianxingzi.
"This senior really cares about me!"
Luo Chen chuckled lightly, and just as he was about to find a secluded corner to sit down, a monk in black walked up to him.
"Senior Murong, our master has arranged a new position for you, please come this way!"
"oh?"
Luo Chen was startled, but he did not refuse and followed him past many casual cultivators.
Finally, he sat down on a golden sandalwood chair on the edge of both sides.
The moment I sat down, there were many eyes on me.
Without him, the seats on both sides have always been the thrones of foundation-building cultivators.
Even if there are not enough foundation-building real cultivators, this place will only be vacant and will not be used by casual cultivators in the Qi refining period.
"Is this one of the VIP treatments Tian Xingzi mentioned?"
When he first sat down, Luo Chen felt a little uncomfortable.
But soon, he accepted the status quo.
In Luo Tianhui, after being the president for so long, he has long been accustomed to others looking up to him.
Now he is just sitting on the edge of the foundation period.
Moreover, sitting in a place like this is also beneficial.
If you encounter a treasure you want, most casual cultivators in the Qi refining period will think twice before bidding.
This is the sense of oppression that "position" brings to people.
It's not the kind of resource that must be obtained. Generally, casual cultivators will not offend big shots even to the death, and they all know the principle of giving up when they are good.
After sitting down, Luo Chen realized that he came a little early today.
There were only about a hundred people in the hall, and none of the other foundation-building monks arrived.
A black market monk served him tea, and he enjoyed it happily.
But as there were more and more people, he noticed something was wrong.
Because the auras of those who appeared were completely different from those of Qi Refining and Casual Cultivators.
Among them, there are several whose auras he is familiar with.
The breath-condensing spirit is not just as simple as condensing the breath and changing the fluctuations of the spiritual energy.
After Dzogchen, there are many wonderful uses, including the means of simulating the breath of others.
Naturally, you will also be particularly sensitive to other people's breath.
"The one emitting light steam is Wang Haichao!"
"Nangong Jin is here too."
"The female cultivator with the bare face, as expected, should be Li Yixian, the founder of the Li family."
"In this case, another familiar old foundation-building monk who is talking to a few people should be Duan Qiankun, the ancestor of the Duan family."
Unexpectedly, in the black market today, all the leaders of the four major foundation-building forces in Dahefang were gathered together.
Especially Nangong Jin, who looked over at Luo Chen from time to time.
They seemed to be curious as to why a monk in the Qi refining stage could sit with them.
Although, it is only at the bottom of the margin.
Luo Chen remained calm and still enjoyed tea and cakes contentedly, as if he was confident.
His gesture made those people look away.
"Perhaps he is a distinguished guest of Tianxingzi!"
Several people thought so.
Luo Chen didn't say a word and had no desire to communicate with them.
If you say too much, you will be wrong, and your true identity may be exposed.
After the number of people reached almost two hundred, Tian Xingzi stood up and announced the start of today's auction.
The magical weapon that was taken out at the beginning finally let Luo Chen know why today's black market auction brought together the four major local foundations of Dahefang.
"Twenty sets of Fengdu ritual robes and medium-grade magical instruments."
"Weared by monks, it can resist invisible attacks from low-level ghosts."
"The starting price is five hundred spirit stones for each set. Each time the price is increased, it must not be less than fifty spirit stones!"
"Everyone, please!"
There was no hesitation, almost as soon as the last words were spoken.
The four major foundation builders took action one after another.
In the end, five pieces per person were sold at an average price of 700 yuan per set.
Such a tacit understanding of the bidding made everyone feel excited.
The black market owner Tian Xingzi seemed to have expected it and didn't care that they were colluding in the shooting.
Perhaps, this price is also within his psychological acceptance range.
"The second lot is a Qingying lantern, a top-grade magical instrument, ten pieces in total."
"When this magic weapon is activated, it can detect nearby ghosts and release a stream of evil energy from the scorching sun to attack all nearby ghosts below the foundation."
"The starting price is five hundred spirit stones for each piece. Each time the price is increased, it must not be less than fifty spirit stones."
This time, it wasn't Tian Xingzi's turn to say please.
For the four major foundations, I didn’t hesitate to make an offer.
In the end, two items per person were sold, with an average of eight hundred spiritual stones.
Of the two extra pieces, one was obtained by a Dzogchen monk in the Qi Refining Stage.
One piece was taken by Luo Chen and cost him 850 spiritual stones.
It is slightly higher than the average transaction price of a foundation-building monk, but it is fifty yuan cheaper than that of the Dzogchen who is in the Qi Refining Stage.
This is the convenience brought by sitting in this position.
After getting Qingying's lantern, Luo Chen finally understood the purpose of these local foundations gathered here.
Without him!
Today, Zhenlong Black Market brought out a large number of magical weapons that had been ordered in advance, although the quality was not high.
But there is no doubt that they are all good things that are very effective against ghosts and ghosts.
Luo Chen was also paying attention to various recent news in Dahefang.
The big local forces, while expanding their territory and collecting resources, sent people to explore the ghost city of the river.
The things inside are extremely valuable!
Not to mention anything else, those small sects, including the industries established by their respective families in the inner city, are still trapped inside.
It's definitely impossible to save the person, but at least we have to get the things back.
What's more, so many monks died inside, and the inheritance alone is enough to make people jealous.
But with the Fengdu robe and Qingying lantern, exploring the inner city is no longer impossible, but becomes even more powerful!
only……
"What is the origin of this Zhenlong black market? In just two months, it has raised so many resources against ghosts and ghosts."
"The robes, magical tools...even the talismans, seals, and elixirs are all there."
After spending another hundred spiritual stones to take a picture of a Huangquan Pill, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.
In the world of immortal cultivation in the Eastern Wasteland, there are actually not many forces that have the ability to mass-produce magic weapons.
In the Jade Cauldron Domain, among the seven sects in this domain, there is a golden elixir force named Yanmeng who is good at casting weapons.
This green firefly lantern can release the evil energy of the Yanyang, which is in line with Yanmeng's usual tool-making techniques.
Outside the Jade Cauldron Territory, Tianfan City is a little closer.
Farther away, there is the Huaxing Gate.
Zhenlong Black Market is a subordinate organization of those forces?
Or is there cooperation with them?
It's not just Luo Chen who raises this question, the four major local foundations are also speculating in this way.
But no one dared to ask directly.
Tian Xingzi's strength is unpredictable.
Every time he takes out so many resources, who knows what his methods are, at least he will not be weaker than the local foundation.
Thinking a little higher, it might be at the level of Mi Shuhua, even comparable to the sect's foundation building.
"The corpse of a second-order Jinming monkey is 70% complete. The most important eyes were removed, but other materials were intact."
"It can be sold in bulk or in bulk at a fixed price."
"The starting price is two thousand spirit stones."
Luo Chen has participated in black market auctions many times and is already familiar with the rules here.
For example, the law of starting price and asking price.
For prices below the starting price of five hundred spirit stones, the bidding price is basically random.
From five hundred to one thousand, ten yuan a time.
For those with a starting price of one thousand or more, the starting price is at least fifty spiritual stones.
If it involves more than five thousand, the default price is one hundred.
This rule was perfected not long ago.
Avoid the situation where someone uses a piece of spiritual stone to disgust people after having several thousand treasures.
Zhenlong Black Market also doesn’t want to make the bidders angry because of such trivial matters.
Seeing the corpse of this second-level monster, Luo Chen was a little moved.
The main material of Imperial Liquid Serum is the flesh and bones of monsters from the same origin.
Although the most important thing about the Jinming Monkey is its eyes, to him, the intact bones and flesh are undoubtedly more valuable.
"Do you want to take a photo?"
Luo Chen hesitated for a moment.
But in just a moment, Wang Haichao paid 5,000 yuan for the corpse of the Jin Ming Ling Monkey to be photographed.
Luo Chen frowned, the price was a bit low.
After all, it is the corpse of a second-level demon beast. Even if it lacks the most important materials, it contains the demon elixir, so it should be worth six to seven thousand!
But that's just a pity for the price.
Luo Chen had no regrets.
A month later, we are still exploring the elixir recipe for Emperor Liujing.
Even if he purchased the corresponding main materials, he could not directly refine them.
Moreover, the corpses of certain monsters are difficult to preserve.
Forget it, wait until you have figured out the elixir recipe before you think about it!
"A Tongyu grass, a second-level spiritual grass, can be given to the spirit beast to refine the horizontal bone in the throat in advance."
"There are three puppets in the Qi Refining Stage. Their combat power is quite good, comparable to that in the middle stage of Qi Refining. They guard the gate and guard the courtyard, and are essential treasures for exploring the path and hunting for treasures."
"A Zihe Taoist robe, a top-quality defensive robe. Its defensive power is not inferior to that of a specialized defensive weapon."
…
One by one, treasures were photographed like water.
The transaction prices are all staggering.
After experiencing it for a long time, Luo Chen had to lament that those who run platforms make too much money compared to small businesses.
He worked hard to refine the elixir for a month, but the income was not necessarily much higher than the black market pump.
Moreover, the things in Zhenlong Black Market are not necessarily collected from Zhenlong Black Market.
Many of these items were commissioned for auction in advance by casual cultivators who were afraid of trouble.
As long as the photo is taken, the organizer will charge a corresponding proportion of the handling fee.
This is simply a no-cost transaction!
Soon, the first auction session ended.
Tian Xingzi walked down and went straight to Luo Chen without hesitation.
This scene fell into the eyes of the four major foundation builders.
A soundproof shield was opened, and Tian Xingzi said hello with a smile.
"My little friend, you're fine!"
"Senior is in good spirits. I'm afraid his cultivation has greatly improved again!"
The people carrying the sedan chair are carrying people!
Luo Chen can do it too.
Tian Xingzi shook his head, "I'm old, and I don't expect to form pills in my life. It doesn't matter whether my cultivation is advanced or not. What's important is..."
"How is your friend, an alchemist in the Foundation Establishment stage, thinking about it?"
It seems that he attaches great importance to the cooperation with Burning Blood Pill!
Luo Chen confirmed this idea in his mind and said immediately without any delay:
"He said it was okay, but..."
The meat show is coming!
Tian Xingzi cheered up, "If you have any conditions, just ask!"
Luo Chen was not polite and said directly: "Although the Burning Blood Pill is only a first-level elixir, it is extremely difficult to refine and the demand for the main materials is also great."
"So, you need to provide the corresponding raw materials, and the price will be based on the normal market price."
Tian Xingzi nodded, "This is as it should be. Now that Baicao Hall has moved away, many medicinal materials are indeed difficult to buy."
"Let's do this, you give me a list, and I will do my best to get whatever I can get."
Luo Chen took out a list on the spot and handed it to the other party.
Such behavior made Tian Xingzi very satisfied.
It can be seen that Luo Chen also comes with sincerity.
Taking the list, he lowered his head and scanned it ten lines at a time.
Fire Dog Whip, Phantom Grass, North Sea Jade Yao Pillar, Explosive Ape Demon Blood, Earth Fire Demon, Snow Fox Demon Blood, Underworld Yin Demon...
After reading it, he raised his head in surprise.
"Do you need so many materials to refine the Blood Burning Pill?"
No wonder he was so surprised.
Just because of this list, not only are there a large number of medicinal materials required, but many of them have very conflicting medicinal properties at first glance.
For example, the blood of the Exploding Ape Demon Blood and the Blood of the Snow Fox Demon are limited to first-level quality, but one of them has a bursting attribute, and the other has a cold attribute.
This is no longer a simple reconciliation of yin and yang. It is of extreme nature and must not be used as medicine at the same time.
Another example is the two evil spirits, the earth fire evil and the underworld yin evil, which are the first and second levels respectively.
What kind of elixir can require two kinds of evil spirits, or are they of different grades and attributes?
Also, what the hell is a fire dog whip?
Luo Chen smiled and said nothing.
These are naturally not just the raw materials for the Blood Burning Pill.
It also contains various main ingredients of elixirs such as Zhongmiao Pill, Tongyou Pill, and Xuesha Pill.
First, it was to confuse Tian Xingzi and prevent him from guessing the main ingredient of Burning Blood Pill.
After all, there must be a big force behind the opponent, and there are experienced high-level alchemists who can't protect him.
If he used the main ingredients to deduce the prescription of the Blood Burning Pill, he would suffer a big loss.
Secondly, Luo Chen really lacks these main materials.
Baicaotang and Lingyuanzhai moved out.
Xianzhuju was destroyed.
There are many things that he cannot collect.
Now in Luo Tianhui, even the refining of Zhongmiao Pills has been stopped.
Although the Beihai Jade Yao Pillar is very cheap, except for Baicaotang, which is backed by Yaowang Sect, ordinary forces are really unable to purchase it in large quantities for resale.
After all, it is a specialty from the outside world.
Tongyou Pill is an incomplete recipe, but Luo Chen has been studying it for a long time and has some experience.
I am very confident that I will complete it.
If you cooperate with the system to get started, you will be successful in nine out of ten cases.
At that time, he can refine the elixir and use it to increase the foundation of his soul.
As for the last thing about the underworld, it was considered for Wang Yuan, just in case.
Seeing Luo Chen smiling and saying nothing, Tian Xingzi also came to his senses.
The other party wants to acquire other resources they want through cooperation!
By the way, the raw material ratio of the Burning Blood Pill is also hidden.
It's a clever little trick.
He took a deep look at Luo Chen and then carefully put the list away.
"Don't worry, since I agreed to cooperate, I will naturally try my best to meet the requirements of you and your friend."
"To show my sincerity, I will also tell you some news, little friend!"
Luo Chen looked at each other curiously.
What kind of news can be regarded as the sincerity of a foundation-building cultivator?
"Foundation Pill!"
"I have already contacted three of them, and they will be sent to Dahefang soon."
"call!"
…
Low and heavy breathing came from the man in front of him.
Tian Xingzi was very satisfied with the other party's reaction.
He believed that no one could remain calm despite such "sincerity."
Luo Chen also realized that he had lost his composure and quickly breathed evenly.
No wonder he was so out of sorts, it was the Foundation Establishment Pill after all!
Moreover, the old man said it was not easy to do last time.
As a result, he turned around and told him that he had contacted "Three!"
It's three, not one or two!
If it was one or two, Luo Chen really wouldn't have such a big reaction.
After all, with his qualifications, he was really worried that one or two pills wouldn't work.
Otherwise, he would not have given the one Mi Shuhua gave him as a favor to Qin Liangchen.
But three means that he has three chances to hit the foundation building stage.
Even if it's a donkey, after three chances, he should succeed!
After working on it for a long time, what others said was "difficult to do" didn't mean one or two, but more!
Luo Chen's voice was a little dry and jerky.
"senior……"
"Wait!"
Tian Xingzi raised his hand just when Luo Chen thought he had some conditions.
But the other party smiled and said: "It took me a lot of favors to get these three Foundation Establishment Pills. So, in terms of price... one five thousand spirit stones, what do you think?"
Is the price of five thousand spirit stones considered cheap or expensive?
That is naturally expensive!
The Foundation Establishment Pill is only a second-level pill that can break the sky.
The same second-level elixir only costs three to five hundred spirit stones to start with.
The Foundation-Building Pill is sold in individual pieces. If you give it a price of one to two thousand, you respect the attribute of "increasing the chance of breaking through the realm".
At the jade tripod auction, the five major foundation builders only took two thousand spiritual stones and bought one each.
However, for ordinary casual cultivators, this price is very cheap.
First of all, there is no channel to buy it.
Secondly, even if one or two appear at auction, the transaction price is often astronomical.
The last Foundation Establishment Pill yielded 6,800 spiritual stones!
The competition is too fierce!
In the end, this price was completely acceptable to Luo Chen.
He is the leader of Luo Tianhui and the distinguished alchemist.
Now, you can say this boldly to anyone:
"I am quite wealthy!"
The three pills added up are only fifteen thousand.
Not to mention anything else, he now has 16,500 yuan in savings.
After the last auction, his net worth dropped from 20,000 to 9,500.
A month later, Luo Tianhui earned another eight thousand for him!
At today's auction, he made a few small moves and bought the Qingying Lantern and Huangquan Dan for less than a thousand yuan.
In other words, if Tian Xingzi takes out three Foundation Establishment Pills now.
Luo Chen, he can buy it directly now!
Unfortunately, the other party said it would take some time.
"Thank you, senior, I am very satisfied with the price!"
"When the Foundation Establishment Pill arrives, be sure to notify me as soon as possible."
Luo Chen thanked him sincerely.
If others show their sincerity, then naturally he cannot be stingy.
"As long as the materials are purchased, I will definitely ask my friend to refine the Blood Burning Pill for you as soon as possible."
Tian Xingzi smiled heartily, "Then, happy cooperation!"
“Happy to work with!”
Luo Chen left Zhenlong Black Market early without participating in the subsequent free trading session.
After coming out, I found that the snow on the street had become heavier and heavier.
This winter may be the best winter ever.
Luo Chen was very excited.
After covering up his aura, he blended into the darkness.
