Luo Chen was not surprised that Kang Dongyue could guess his identity.
When the words Chalcedony Pill, Danchenzi, Foundation Establishment True Cultivation, and Dahefang are connected together.
Anyone who can use their brains can guess that he is the leader of Luo Tianhui.
Nodding, Luo Chen did not deny it.
When Kang Dongyue saw this, he couldn't help but nodded in admiration.
"Cultivation is indeed not easy for casual cultivators. Having such a force at your disposal will make many things easier."
"This time I come to Taishanfang, I guess I want to settle down!"
Luo Chen did not hide it and said bluntly: "I have this idea."
"In that case, you may have to perform well in this auction." Kang Dongyue stroked his beard and said meaningfully.
At the auction, do well?
Luo Chen blinked and fell into deep thought.
Kang Dongyue did not bother him, but sent someone to get the middle-grade spiritual stones and equivalent resources.
The price of the high-quality chalcedony pill discussed with Luo Chen is naturally not the market price.
But the purchase price is much lower than the market price.
Only in this way can we ensure that they also make money.
However, in view of the current chaotic situation, the two Nascent Soul Sects have become increasingly incompatible, and the prices of elixirs and magic weapons have been rising.
Therefore, even the purchase price has soared to 80 spirit stones per bottle.
After getting the Golden Stone Pavilion, price it at ninety or one hundred and sell it. If you go in and out, you can earn more than ten thousand spiritual stones.
It's really a good business.
Luo Chen won’t lose either.
Before leaving Dahefang, he spent three months refining a large amount of high-quality chalcedony pills.
For this reason, many of Luo Tianhui's inventories and spiritual stones were consumed.
If you sell them separately, you can definitely make a little more money, but the time cost is too high.
Under the current circumstances, it would be better to collect funds as early as possible.
Two hundred pieces of mid-grade spiritual stones and 20,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.
In addition, there is a large amount of top-quality gold and jade liquid.
This batch of gold jade liquid was enough for Luo Chen to use for a long time, and there was even a surplus to reward some monks of Luo Tianhui.
There are also some medicinal grass materials, mostly gold and stone mineral materials.
Huanyu, also offers a lot.
The most important thing was that Kang Dongyue told him the news about the method of transforming poison.
"Qingyuan Miraculous Elixir"
It comes from Qingdan Valley, one of the seven sects of Yuding.
Kang Dongyue didn't say how it came about specifically, but it would definitely be useful to Luo Chen.
After handing over the goods, Luo Chen asked Kang Dongyue for some advice on spiritual practice.
Maybe it was because he admired Luo Chen more, or maybe it was because he had just reached a big business cooperation.
Kang Dongyue was not stingy and told him some tips on practicing in the early stages of foundation building.
After listening, combine what Li Yixian said at the beginning.
Luo Chen only felt that he had benefited a lot.
If you continue to practice, you will probably avoid a lot of detours and your practice speed will be faster.
"That's it for today!"
"It's really disturbing fellow Taoist."
"No, no, to be honest, I really want you to stay here in Taishanfang. Usually, we can also exchange more experiences in alchemy."
"Whether it works or not depends on the attitudes of the three of you!"
Luo Chen smiled bitterly.
He has come to his senses. If he wants to stay in Taishanfang, it may not be that simple.
After saying goodbye, Luo Chen drifted away.
Kang Dongyue stood in front of the resplendent attic window of Jinshi Pavilion, looking at Luo Chen's retreating figure on the street.
"Come out!"
"ah!"
A beautiful figure walked out of the back room.
"I was discovered by grandpa."
Ignoring the flattering tone in his granddaughter's words, Kang Dongyue rubbed his beard and sighed.
"Pity."
"If we don't build the foundation, we will definitely be a great help to my Kang family!"
Kang Xianqiong lay down by the window curiously, but could not see that figure in the crowd.
"He is not from our Kang family, so how can he be a great help!"
"Conquer, win over, Xiao Yili, Xiao Yili... If that doesn't work, how about marriage?"
Kang Dongyue said calmly.
When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Kang Xianqiong with a half-smile.
Kang Xianqiong trembled, "I don't want it!"
"Anyone who makes elixirs like that is not a gentleman at first sight!"
Kang Dongyue did not say anything to explain to Luo Chen.
gentleman?
There may be some decent people in this world.
But it will never come from a place like Dahefang.
…
At midnight.
On the upper cabin of Luo Tianhui's ship.
A figure floated down like catkins.
At the same time, the wooden door seemed to have sensed it and opened slowly.
Li Yixian's bright eyes trembled slightly.
Luo Chen has such a keen sense of spirituality that he might have noticed my arrival long ago.
Entering the cabin, closing the door, the two sat opposite each other.
"How is your inquiring, Fellow Taoist?" Li Yixian asked with a calm expression, unable to tell his true mood.
Luo Chen shook his head.
"I'm afraid it's not going to be good!"
"Taishanfang may not be so welcoming to us."
Li Yixian looked at Luo Chen and nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, I have talked with the foundation-building cultivator of the Yu family here, and she didn't hide much from us."
"There are four small spiritual veins in Taishanfang. Although one of them is a second-order spiritual vein, it is divided between the Kang family and the Huo family."
"The resources here are far less rich than those in Dahefang, and the large forces that can be accommodated are limited!"
Four spiritual veins!
It sounds like a lot, but it's actually far inferior to the large first-order spiritual vein in Dahefang.
As far as Luo Chen knew, the number of small branch veins extending from the large spiritual vein in Dahefang amounted to double digits!
That is the real holy land for casual cultivators.
Moreover, the main vein, Luofeng Mountain, still has the potential to be upgraded to the third level.
In comparison, Taishanfang is slightly barren.
"Moreover, this place seems to have been affected by the aftermath of the battle between the two Nascent Soul Sects, and the power structure is gradually changing." Li Yixian said slowly.
Luo Chen nodded. This was almost the same as what he heard from Kang Dongyue.
"Huo family!"
"In the past, Taishanfang respected the Kang family. Even if the Huo family was stronger, they still had to respect the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect behind him."
"But now, it is obvious that the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has gathered strength. The Yanmeng has been a vassal of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect for many years. In order to keep them tightly bound to their side, they gave up some things."
"Just like this Taishan Square!"
Li Yixian said: "Maybe it's not giving, but returning."
"Um."
Luo Chen approved her words.
Taishanfang itself is within the territory of Yanmeng.
For many years, it has been controlled by Yuding Jiange and the Kang family, and it has indeed usurped the interests of the Yan Alliance.
Now that the war has begun, in order to stabilize their allies, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect will naturally give up some things that do not belong to them.
The Huo family has been sending young disciples to the Yan League all year round.
Ben is a member of the Yan League.
Now that the Huo family has taken the lead, Fangshi's interests will naturally be handed over to the Yan League.
The power position is changing.
Now that they came to Taishanfang, they chose a very bad time.
"So, it seems that three families are required to agree, but under the current situation, if you want to stay in Taishanfang, you only need the consent of the Huo family!" Luo Chen concluded.
This conclusion made Li Yixian feel quite heavy.
It is absolutely impossible for all the four major forces in Dahefang to stay.
It is very likely that only one or two companies will have this opportunity.
Li Yixian cheered up, "Dan Chenzi, what are you going to do?"
"what should I do?"
Luo Chen read this sentence and slowly shook his head.
With his eyes thinking, he finally said: "Let's talk about it after the auction!"
…
Three days later.
Huo Family Auction!
It wasn't named Jade Cauldron Auction or Taishanfang Auction, the name was just marked with the word "Huo Family".
Its purpose is self-evident.
The Huo family of Chichan Mountain took the opportunity of holding the auction to declare the sovereignty of Taishan Fang internally and externally.
From then on, this place was no longer dominated by the Kang family and the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.
As for why the "auction" format is used.
it's actually really easy.
Large-scale auctions have always been held by powerful forces who have the foundation to hold them.
The most small forces can do some black market or something.
It is said to be a black market auction, but it only provides a free trading market for casual cultivators.
Only large forces can contact high-level materials, elixir techniques, and even magic weapons to get their hands on them.
Next, you can rely on your appeal to gather many guests to build momentum.
Without the number of people, the atmosphere would not be up at all.
A few people discuss the price after discussing it among themselves.
There is no skyrocketing premium, there is just bargaining and compromise.
Standing at the foot of Red Toad Mountain, Luo Chen looked up at this towering mountain with a touch of envy in his eyes.
The second level spiritual vein place!
Even if it is only half of the profit shared with the Taishan Kang family, it is still a second-level spiritual land.
What he envied most was that there was a genuine fire vein here.
And after being arranged by the masters of the Yan League, the earth fire was drawn out, and it was truly a first-level earth fire.
It is said that this mountain is an active volcano, and a first-order monster, the Red Toad, was born inside it.
Hence the name Red Toad Mountain.
Compared with it, Xiaohuan Mountain is really far behind.
Withdrawing his gaze, Luo Chen looked to the side with a vague gaze.
Wang Haichao, Nangong Jin, and Li Yixian were all preparing to enter the mountain with their respective men.
As for the other endless streams of escaping light, it has nothing to do with him.
"Let's go!"
Luo Chen waved his sleeves and rode the white clouds slowly up the mountain.
Wang Yuan, Sima Huiniang, Duan Feng and others followed behind.
In addition to Zeng Wen, Granny Yuan, Sima Wenjie and the two new ninth-level Qi Refining monks, a total of five people were arranged to stay at the station.
All the remaining ninth-level Qi Refining monks in Luo Tianhui were all brought along by him this time.
There were ten people in total, plus Qu Lingjun, an entry-level disciple.
Not to mention how much resources are being auctioned, just seeing the world is enough.
However, when we reached the area halfway up the mountain, we could see that it was in front of a newly built palace.
This "world view" is a bit disappointing.
A dense crowd was blocked outside the palace gate.
"What happened in front?"
Luo Chen frowned.
Sima Huiniang nodded to her younger brother Sima Wenjie, who immediately came out of the queue and trotted to the front.
After a while, he came back quickly.
"Report to the president, when the casual cultivators were offering the auction items, something went wrong and blocked the passage."
"Um?"
Sima Wenjie immediately explained everything in detail.
It turned out that a casual cultivator provided a thousand-year-old spiritual grass.
However, due to the self-defeating nature of divine objects, the aura displayed by this spiritual herb to the outside world is extremely dim.
As a result, an elder of the Huo family only assessed the life span of five hundred years.
The value of a thousand-year-old spiritual herb and a five-hundred-year-old spiritual herb are vastly different.
Because of this incident, the casual cultivators started making trouble.
The elders of the Huo family were still stiff at first, saying that they had not made a mistake in their judgment.
As a result, a foundation-building cultivator from the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion passed by, glanced at it, and casually told the specific age of the spirit grass.
As a result, the elder responsible for the appraisal made a big joke.
Now, the casual cultivator is unwilling to give up. He feels that the elders of the Huo family have deliberately underestimated the value and are suspected of lining their own pockets.
Not only that.
Some monks who had previously submitted items also felt something was wrong and wanted to apply for re-evaluation.
Those who came and went blocked the passage of casual cultivators.
Now the elder of the Huo family is being held there, and he is a bit unable to get off the stage.
"It's okay, you can follow me to the foundation building true cultivation channel!"
Luo Chen said something, unfolded the spiritual power fluctuations in the foundation building period, and moved forward.
Wherever he passed, the casual cultivators in the Qi refining period stepped aside one after another.
Many people looked at this strange foundation builder curiously.
When passing by the passage where the casual cultivators' auction items were collected, Luo Chen took a look and couldn't help but shake his head.
Qu Lingjun looked over curiously and said casually: "Master, why don't the Huo family invite a professional appraiser?"
"Is it possible that this is already the most professional appraiser in their family?"
The one who spoke was Su Xiaolin.
A ninth-level Qi-refining monk who has only emerged in Luo Tianhui in the past two years.
He is in his forties, but looks very young, and his personality is quite out-of-the-box.
Just as he was speaking, a handsome young man wearing a red gown came towards him.
"Um?"
He glanced at Su Xiaolin, his face darkened.
Foundation Establishment came over with great momentum, showing off his sharp edge!
Luo Chen frowned and flicked it casually.
The sharp momentum was like waves hitting a rock. It seemed fierce, but in the end it was unable to subside.
"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to be at odds with this junior!"
The young man's eyes widened and he stared at Luo Chen.
"Who are you?"
"I, Luo Chen, have spoken rudely on behalf of one of my subordinates. I will make amends for you."
While speaking, Luo Chen raised his hands.
"Hmph, you should take good care of these miscellaneous cultivators from the countryside."
The young man snorted coldly and did not bother with Luo Chen.
Passed by them and went straight to the appraisal hut where the scattered cultivator passages gathered.
Before anyone gets close, he announces his home address.
"My Huo family doesn't look down on this kind of thing, and lowering the price for no reason is even more nonsense."
"Thousand-year-old spiritual grass, right? I, Huo Hu, paid 3,000 spiritual stones to buy it!"
Listening to the voice coming from behind, Luo Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
What a domineering person.
Buying a thousand-year-old spiritual grass with three thousand spiritual stones may seem grand, but in fact it is a huge advantage.
Moreover, other casual cultivators dared not sell him to this foundation-building true cultivator.
Don't tell me the price will be higher at auction.
This auction was organized by the Huo family.
Casual cultivators must be sold!
"Senior, is he the president of Luo Tianhui?"
A graceful maid appeared in front of her.
Luo Chen nodded.
The other party smiled slightly and pointed forward, "Your box is over here, please follow me."
"Um."
Under the leadership of the maid, Luo Chen and the others soon entered a fairly spacious box.
Through the open platform, the situation below the palace can be seen at a glance.
The location is pretty good.
It's just that the arrangements for those casual cultivators in the venue are really not in place.
Their respective seats are arranged randomly.
Some have different colors.
Moreover, unlike Yuding Jiange, it also provides free melon and fruit tea.
After all, it was just a cultivating family that suddenly gained power, and could not compare to the magnanimity of the sect.
Luo Chen shook his head and sat down.
At this time, he realized that the atmosphere in the team was a bit depressing.
Following Luo Chen's gaze, Qu Lingjun pursed his lips and regretted, "Master, I shouldn't have said anything just now."
Su Xiaolin even knelt on her knees and apologized directly.
"President, Xiaolin made a mistake and got you into trouble."
