Tianlan Fairy City is the name of a city.
But for the monks practicing here, Tianlan Immortal City refers to the vast area inside and outside.
Except for those mountainous terrain.
There are also rivers around Tianlan Immortal City.
The name of the river is Yunjin. It is not big, far less than the Lancang River in Dahefang.
The main water source comes from the water flowing out from under Tianlan Peak in Tianlan Immortal City.
And that river is extraordinary.
The Qinhua River is a huge waterway formed by the convergence of many streams and rivers in the Yuding Domain.
Rushing all the way, pouring into the distant East China Sea.
This river flows over a very long distance and is therefore extremely rich in resources.
The Li family only occupied a small river bank and prospered for two hundred years.
However, as the ancestor's longevity approaches, the Qinhua Li family becomes in danger.
fortunately!
A great happy event washed away the anxiety in the minds of the monks of the Li family.
The Li family is about to form an alliance with Luo Tianhui, a rising power in Tianlan!
In other words, it shouldn't be called an alliance, but a marriage.
Just today, the leader of Luo Tianhui personally brought people to the door, paid a betrothal gift, and arranged a marriage with Li Yingjun, the direct granddaughter of the founder of the Li family.
The process was naturally uneventful.
The only strange thing is that Li Yingjun's engagement partner is unknown in Luo Tianhui.
It may not be appropriate to use Ji Ji Ming Ming.
But Elder Lingzhi of a mere medicine hall is no match for Li Yingjun!
Facing the thoughts of low-level monks, Luo Chen didn't care.
He can probably understand the thoughts of the ancestor of the Li family.
Sima Xian's realm is too high!
And it seems that there is no hope of building a foundation. This will only make the other party put all their undue thoughts on coveting the Li family's property.
In comparison, although Yuan Dongsheng is not well-known, his level is not high either.
But he really belongs to that kind of person, who is not in a high position, but has a lot of power!
Luo Tianhui has hundreds of first-order spiritual fields, but they are all under his control.
This kind of existence must be someone Luo Tianhui relies on!
At the same time, if you have to focus on running Luo Tianhui's spiritual field, you will naturally not have any extra thoughts to covet the Li family.
Looking at the other party's face that was extremely old but still smiling.
Luo Chen secretly called Old Fox in his heart.
"President Luo, want to try my Li family's elixir tea?" Li Jinhuang said with a smile.
Luo Chen took care of himself and picked up the elixir tea, a specialty of the Li family.
After tasting it carefully, I put it down.
"The taste is fresh and mellow, with a sweet aftertaste."
"The smell of medicine is not obvious, but the spiritual energy is like a painting on a clear sky, leaping above the sea of Qi in the Dantian."
"This method of using medicine into tea is really wonderful!"
Hearing this comment, Li Jinhuang's cloudy eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Fellow Taoist is a person who understands tea!"
Luo Chen smiled slightly and said a few words of humility.
His knowledge of spiritual tea is not as good as spiritual wine.
The comment just now was just a paragraph that he deliberately wrote down from the information he had collected about the Li family.
There was a lively engagement party outside.
The two major foundation-building monks inside were also polite and kept paying tribute.
But Luo Chen came here specifically today not just for this trivial matter, otherwise he could have just asked Sima Huiniang to do it for him.
"Just tell me!"
Luo Chen put down his tea cup.
Li Jinhuang also looked serious.
"I have never participated in the Immortal City Auction, and I don't know much about it. There are taboos and even hidden rules. I still need Fellow Daoist Li to teach you."
This is his true purpose.
Li Jinhuang has been operating in Tianlan Fairy City for more than two hundred years and has rich experience.
Now that Fang Fang's life is short, and he will have to rely on Luo Chen to protect the Li family in the future, he will naturally not keep this matter secret.
Compared with people like Shi Boying and Xuanyunzi.
Luo Chen trusted Li Jinhuang, who was bound by interests to him.
As expected, the other party soon revealed some things that Luo Chen didn't know about.
"Except for the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, the Immortal City auction is usually held jointly by the two major sects."
"This kind of grand event will inevitably attract the participation of Jindan monks."
"One of the taboos is that the Golden Core cultivator is interested in something. No matter how rich you and I, the foundation builders, are, try not to get involved. The consequences are unbearable for you and me."
Luo Chen frowned slightly, "Is there any precedent?"
"have!"
After some explanation, it was brought up that decades ago, a large force used its financial resources to compete with the Golden Elixir monks for auction items.
Won!
The consequence was that the entire great force was destroyed by the Golden Core cultivator with an angry blow.
Immortal City did not give any explanation.
"You and I, as foundation builders, want nothing more than a pill-forming spiritual object. My suggestion is not to participate in the competition until the later stages of foundation building." Li Jinhuang talked eloquently.
Luo Chen frowned again.
"Is there also murder and treasure grabbing happening?"
"This kind of thing is definitely unavoidable. But the real danger comes from the six...no, it's the five golden elixir sects now."
Li Jinhuang changed his words and pointed upward.
"Unless you have the support of a large number of people above you, the road to forming an elixir will definitely be difficult."
"I don't know the details, but I guess my Taoist friend is at this level at such a young age, so I can naturally learn the inside story in the future."
Luo Chen took a deep breath and asked doubtfully: "Who are the pill-forming spiritual objects that appeared at the auction prepared for?"
"Master Jindan, those in the late stages of powerful foundation building, and those forces closely related to the sect."
Li Jinhuang said tentatively: "Fellow Taoist and Ice Castle seem to have a good relationship. They should be considered close!"
Luo Chen reluctantly nodded.
His current relationship with Ice Castle is really not that close.
In other words, he has a good relationship with Tantai Xun.
But if it involves pill-forming spiritual objects, the other party will probably be even more jealous than him.
"In addition, regarding foundation-building spiritual objects..."
Having said this, Li Jinhuang looked at Luo Chen with a half-smile.
"Fellow Taoist should really want a spot!"
Quota!
This is what Luo Chen desires most.
When Dahefang auctioned the Foundation Establishment Pills, he watched the entire process.
Except for the one reserved for casual cultivators, the rest were divided up by the four major foundation-building forces.
This means that there must be a series of foundation building and true cultivation in private.
Different places must have very similar rules.
The same is true for Tianlan Immortal City.
He asked Chu Kui privately to find out that there were rules for the number of Foundation Establishment Pills in the Immortal City.
Only those who have been rooted in Tianlan Immortal City for more than fifty years are eligible to join the carving up feast.
Emerging forces like Luo Tianhui have no quota at all.
If you want it, you have to compete with casual cultivators and pay a high price.
Moreover, it is very likely to offend the Jindan sect.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Li understands my thoughts." Luo Chen admitted his thoughts openly.
Li Jinhuang sighed, "In that case, I will leave the Li family's quota to you this time! The transaction price this time we have set is 5,000 pieces of spiritual stone."
"So high?" Luo Chen was surprised.
Back then in Dahefang, the foundation-building monks priced the stone in private, and it was only 2,000 yuan for each spiritual stone!
"The foundation-building pills have always been precious, and most of them come from the Nascent Soul Sect. This time, the ones who came up with the foundation-building pills were the Luoyun Sect and the Yaowang Sect."
Li Jinhuang said seriously: "We want to give Luoyun Sect face!"
understood!
Luoyun Sect is the newly promoted Nascent Soul Sect.
This time, their ally Qingdan Valley participated in the auction. Luoyun Sect was willing to take out the Foundation Establishment Pill to support their ally.
There are so many twists and turns that Luo Chen doesn't want to think about it, and he will just follow the trend when the time comes.
"In addition, before the auction begins, Fairy City will also open a market to provide everyone with free transactions."
"This is a good opportunity for our foundation-building forces to do business. Fellow Daoist Luo cannot let it go."
Luo Chen nodded, he knew this.
During the Dahefang period, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect also did this, and it was already a fixed process.
Next, Luo Chen and Li Jinhuang chatted for a long time, and exchanged experiences on foundation building. It wasn't until he saw the other party showing a tired look that he said goodbye and left.
After he leaves.
Li Jinhuang's face still looked tired, but he cheered up.
A young woman came in.
"grandfather!"
"Have you met your fiancé?"
Li Yingjun gritted his teeth and nodded slightly, "I've met him before. He's a pretty good person."
"Is his relationship with the leader of the Luo Tianhui really as good as the rumors say?"
Li Yingjun hesitated and said: "It should be considered good. We had crossed paths when we were young. Later, after senior Luo Chen became successful, the Yuan family contributed a lot. It is said that when Granny Yuan passed away, he personally bid farewell to her and asked Luo Tianhui to He was given a grand burial."
Is that so?
Li Jinhuang breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were before, he might have some other ideas.
But after meeting Luo Chen, those thoughts were immediately erased.
This boy is not very old, but he acts prudently.
If he left, the Li family monks would never be able to cause trouble under his nose.
In this case, it is better for the granddaughter to integrate firmly into Luo Tianhui and gain a close relationship, so as to take care of the Li family from the side.
At his age, grandpa still has to worry about these things.
Li Yingjun's face showed a trace of guilt and self-blame.
"It's all our juniors' incompetence that makes you work so hard, Grandpa."
Li Jinhuang shook his head.
"I can't blame you. In fact, even if there is a foundation-building true cultivator among you now, I will form an alliance with Luo Tianhui."
Li Yingjun was stunned.
Why is this?
Li Jinhuang sighed, "Your vision is too narrow and your outlook is too short-sighted. The general trend of the entire Jade Cauldron Territory is slowly changing. The Qinhua Li family, in such a huge situation, can only rely on one or two foundations to build a foundation." How can it be preserved?"
Li Yingjun said in surprise: "Grandpa, are you referring to the battle of Yuanying Shangzong?"
"Um."
"But hasn't it calmed down a lot in the past two years?"
"Settled down?" Li Jinhuang sneered, "What if it calms down for a few years or decades? The fundamental contradiction has never been resolved."
Li Yingjun said self-righteously: "Could it be the hatred forged by the disciples who died on both sides during the initial battle?"
"No, this is nothing. Who hasn't been stained with the blood of his sect?"
Li Jinhuang said solemnly: "The fundamental contradiction is that there is no room for two Nascent Soul Sects in the Jade Cauldron Territory!"
The young woman's mouth was slightly open, with a somewhat shocked look on her face.
"In other words, there will be another fight later?"
"Yes!" Li Jinhuang resolutely said with a cold tone, "Not only will he fight, but he will even fight more fiercely than before. Maybe the entire Jade Cauldron Domain's sects, large and small, will be swept in."
And this is the reason why he wants to find a backer for the Li family.
As for why it is the new powerful Luo Tianhui?
This actually has his own considerations in it.
Whether it was the first time he arrived to establish his authority, or he quickly found the Golden Elixir Sect as a backer, or in the later period, he relied on invisible means to enter the first-level cultivation elixir market easily and domineeringly.
From all this, it can be seen that there are capable people in the Luo Tianhui!
This kind of capable person, usually fine, is bound by many rules.
If chaos really comes, the other party will be like a fish in water and take advantage of the situation to rise!
After just a short contact, he, Li Jinhuang, had determined that the capable person of Luo Tianhui was Luo Chen!
It has nothing to do with intelligence details, just a feeling.
"Yingjun!"
"I left a foundation building resource for your brother. If it doesn't succeed, that's it. If it succeeds, let him join the Luo Tianhui!"
Li Yingjun, who was still in shock, was stunned when he heard this.
"Grandpa, how can that be done! My Li family..."
"Be obedient!" Li Jinhuang looked solemn, "Your brother is addicted to cultivation. I will remind him later, but if I go, you will have to remind him."
"Luo Chen can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes!"
…
One month later!
The center of Fairy City is located.
The seven beast carriages changed their routes and concentrated their stops at the huge square in the center.
Every day, countless monks are brought.
In the huge square, countless temporary stalls were set up.
That's what each household puts out after paying rent.
There were also many casual cultivators who set up street stalls.
The lively and familiar scene will last for nine days!
Nine days later, the Immortal City Auction will be officially held and will last for three days in total.
It's just that regular large-scale auctions are not something ordinary casual cultivators can participate in.
From Golden Elixir to Qi Refining, all those with invitations must undergo capital verification to be eligible to participate.
For this grand event, everyone in Luo Tianhui was naturally busy.
Luo Chen very generously rented three stalls from Binglan Palace.
Elixir, magic weapon, snacks.
There are only nine days in total, so you must seize it, and you may be able to earn the usual profit of one or two months.
The monks in the war hall are constantly transporting the products produced from Danxia Peak.
Over at the Jintang, Gu Caiyi temporarily handed over the Danxia Palace to the trusted female cultivators below.
And she went to Fairy City Square to take charge of the overall situation.
As for Luo Chen?
After a month of frantically refining the elixir, I also relaxed.
Alone, he calmed down his aura, changed his appearance, and wandered around the market at the Tianlan Trading Conference.
"After all, he is also a time traveler. I have never picked up a leak in my life!"
He automatically ignored the big leak of Emperor Liujian.
Wang Yuan took him to pick it up, so he can't take credit for it.
But this time, he really planned to go shopping.
Relax and pick up the slack!
"Monks from all over the world bring all kinds of things. Maybe there will be something suitable for me."
“Just because you can’t enter the auction doesn’t mean there aren’t good things.”
"With my spiritual eyes now becoming more and more transparent, it should be my turn to pick up the leaks!"
Luo Chen chuckled, gearing up to pick up a lot!
