Luo Chen smiled slightly and picked up a glass of wine.
"A temporary setback doesn't mean anything. With your strength, joining a large sect may give you a chance to form a core."
Chu Kui sneered.
"Forget it, Chu works alone and relies on his own resources, but he cannot bear the constraints of the sect."
Luo Chen frowned.
The great opportunity is in front of you, do you give up just because you don’t want to be restrained?
If so, why do you look so depressed?
Seeing Luo Chen's confusion, Chu Kui sighed.
"Actually, what if I join the Jindan sect?"
"These noble and upright people will not give me precious pill-forming resources."
"In the end, I am just an outsider."
Chu Kui pursed his lips and motioned Luo Chen to look towards the door.
Momoyama Xuanyu, who had previously photographed the pill-forming elixir, walked in surrounded by a group of foundation-building cultivators.
The dragon walks and the tiger steps, looking forward to the future.
So high-spirited and really cool!
"What's wrong?" Luo Chen was puzzled.
Chu Kui sent a message: "Although this Xuanyu was a casual cultivator before, he has extremely high qualifications and has the body of Longyang. However, even with such an existence, he is only qualified to be the face of Patriarch Taohua of Baihua Palace."
"Don't look at him in charge of Taoshan, the scenery is endless."
"However, when it comes to pill-forming, Patriarch Peach Blossom didn't give him the pill-forming elixir from Baihua Palace. He had to come out in person and work hard to obtain it through auction."
"Do you think, just because I can fight, I can do better than him in a big sect?"
"Practice, just relying on being able to fight is useless."
These words made Luo Chen silent.
In the world of cultivating immortals, it is not that there is no way out for casual cultivators.
Either to form a force, or to serve as offerings to some small forces.
For those who are powerful, a large number of sects will actively recruit them to become virtual elders.
But after many years, he did not hear a few famous high-level casual cultivators in the Jade Cauldron Domain.
The only Jindan cultivator I have ever seen is Lu Jiushi.
He was also used as a pawn by Master Luoyun Sect Jindan because of his greed for the Demon Locking Tower and Lan Keqi.
In the end, he died tragically under the sword of swordsman Pang Renxiong.
Now that Chu Kui told these secrets, he felt more deeply about the plight of casual cultivators.
"Under the sect's control, casual cultivators have a certain way out, but they have no future."
"How should I deal with myself in the future?"
In Luo Chen's silence, Chu Kui drank a few more glasses of wine and then got up to make connections.
This was his main purpose for attending the dinner.
I usually make some money by relying on Taoist forums.
But Datou actually relies on his vast network of contacts to do some dirty work for others and collect huge rewards from it.
This kind of thing has been done a lot, and there are many external enemies.
Therefore, he usually cultivates quietly in Tianlan Immortal City and rarely leaves the city.
He doesn't want to join a large sect, and there are reasons for this.
If he is bound by the sect and listens to others' orders, he will be unable to control himself, and his enemies will easily find trouble for him.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, what are you thinking about?"
A gentle voice came to his ears, Luo Chen woke up and looked at the person.
This is Xuanyunzi, the foundation-building cultivator of Qingdan Valley.
"Just little things."
Luo Chen shook his head, and then said: "I would also like to thank fellow Taoist for the invitation, which allowed me to gain a lot from this auction."
Xuan Yunzi waved his hand and said with a smile: "With my Taoist friend's wealth, even if I don't have that invitation, I can still come home with a full load, so you don't need to thank me."
This auction was jointly organized by Ice Castle and Qingdan Valley.
Xuan Yunzi knows the transactions better than anyone else.
Luo Chen and his subordinate Luo Tianhui spent 170,000 to 80,000 spiritual stones in just three days.
This is not something that ordinary small forces can do.
"Fellow Taoist, are you an alchemist?"
Suddenly, Xuanyunzi asked abruptly.
Luo Chen nodded slightly.
The fact that he is an alchemist is not a secret.
It's just not as famous as the Dahefang period.
Dan Chenzi's name is like thunder in Dahefang, but in Tianlan Fairy City, it is insignificant.
After receiving Luo Chen's personal approval, Xuan Yunzi seemed to be interested.
"Did you refine the chalcedony pill?"
"Um."
"Did you also refine those wonderful pills?"
Just as Luo Chen was about to nod, something suddenly moved in his heart.
"Fellow Taoist, are you very interested in Zhongmiaowan?"
Xuanyunzi said a little unnaturally: "I don't take it seriously for a mere first-class elixir. But recently I was studying a formula that combines water and fire, and accidentally got a Zhongmiao Pill, which is deeply I feel the harmony of yin and yang. Therefore, I want to discuss it with fellow Taoists."
You don’t mean what you say!
With Luo Chen's conscious perception, he easily judged that the other party's intention was not here.
especially!
When Luo Chen saw the other person for the first time, his spiritual eyes detected the coexistence of life and death in the other person.
At that time, Luo Chen looked at the other party several times in confusion.
Now, the other party accidentally mentioned Zhongmiaowan.
This elixir recipe is not the style of the Jade Cauldron Territory at all. Several of the refining materials involve specialties from the outside world.
Especially the main material, Beihai Jade Yao Pillar, is only sold by Baicaotang under the Yaowang Sect.
The original elixir recipe was the remains of a former disciple of Yaowang Sect...
The divergent thoughts suddenly converge.
Luo Chen smiled and said: "The Zhongmiao Pills you bought were not refined by me, but by a female alchemist from Luo Tianhui. They just bear my name."
Xuanyunzi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
This situation is extremely common in the world of immortality.
After all, products endorsed by celebrities tend to be more popular.
For example, Luo Chen had seen many magic weapons and magic weapons in Dahefang before, many of which were claimed to have been refined by Hu Yanzhuo, the master forger of Tianfan City.
How could a golden elixir master have so much time to spend every day refining magic weapons?
It’s just a false name!
Suddenly, Luo Chen changed the subject.
"But I have been studying this elixir for a long time."
"I feel that the processing of the water-based main material is particularly strange. I have tried to refine it many times but it still feels wrong."
"But in the hands of a female cultivator, there are always unexpected effects."
"Do you know why this is the case, fellow Taoist?"
Xuanyunzi listened curiously and then gave his answer.
"In the world of immortality, some medicinal materials do have special properties. Either they need to be processed on the spot, or several medicinal materials need to be mixed to eliminate the sharpness... Like what you said, it is a situation where you avoid the sun but not the shade."
"But Jade Yaozhu is just an ordinary first-level medicinal material, and it stands to reason that it would not have such a habit."
"Perhaps it's because the refining technique of fellow Taoist is not right!"
"After you go back, you can try Huanxi Shou's alchemy to deal with it. It may be effective."
Luo Chen "suddenly realized".
"Thank you fellow Taoist for clarifying my doubts!"
"If I succeed in refining it, I will definitely come and thank you!"
"Hey, it's just a trivial matter, no thanks for talking about it." Xuan Yunzi waved his hand, and was about to continue saying something when the corner of his eye flickered.
He showed a forced smile and said, "Fellow Taoist, I saw a few old friends, so I went over first."
"Yeah, go ahead!" Luo Chen nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, I live in the Yisan Cave of Tianlan Peak. When you have free time, you can come and see me and exchange your experiences on alchemy."
After saying this, he left directly.
Behind him, Luo Chen narrowed his eyes.
He only said "main material of water attribute", but he didn't say "jade jade pillar"!
Luo Chen's philosophy is to keep the main ingredients of the elixir as confidential as possible.
Ordinary people would not know what the main ingredients of Zhongmiao Pills are.
Due to the large quantity.
The Baicaotang side may know.
But Baicaotang is the property of Yaowang Sect, and Qingdan Valley also deals in elixirs and medicinal materials, so the relationship with them is definitely not harmonious.
It is impossible for the other party to find out from this aspect.
What if you identified it yourself?
This is also unlikely!
Pills in the world of immortality are not just as simple as kneading medicinal materials together.
Many times, it is refined by extracting the spiritual energy that contains medicinal properties from the elixir.
If you want to easily distinguish the ingredients from an elixir, you must at least have master-level alchemy skills!
It was obvious that Xuanyunzi, like Luo Chen, was only a second-level alchemist.
Even Luo Chen was far more accomplished than him in some specific elixirs due to his proficiency panel.
Even Luo Chen couldn't easily distinguish the main ingredients of unfamiliar elixirs.
Why can he, Xuan Yunzi?
In other words, the reason why the other party knows that Beihai Jade Yao Pillar is the main material of Zhongmiao Pill is probably the only one.
He has seen the recipe for Zhongmiaowan!
But apart from Luo Chen and the Yaowang Sect member who died in the cave, not many people have seen this prescription.
I have seen Tangquan and Mili in Luo Tianhui.
But Xuanyunzi is not from Luo Tianhui either.
Thinking back to Yuan Zhaoguo and his party, the corpse of the Yaowang Sect member disappeared.
Luo Chen had a vague guess in his mind.
"Life and death coexist, not in the body, but in the soul."
"Follow Zhongmiaowan, and most likely have seen the pill recipe."
"Seize the body?"
Just as Luo Chen was thinking.
Two figures came to him unknowingly.
"Sister, this is Fellow Daoist Dan Chenzi whom I mentioned to you before!"
Luo Chen was startled, looked at the person coming, and said in surprise: "Fellow Tao Tao? When did you come to Tianlan Fairy City?"
The person who came was none other than Tao Yisheng.
The Qingdan Valley foundation-building monk was on duty at Yuan Zhaoguo before, and Luo Chen had some contact with him.
We even spent the whole night exchanging ideas on alchemy.
"I've been here for a while."
"I wanted to visit you two days ago, but the president of your Luo Tianhui told me that you were in retreat."
"I finally met you today."
Tao Yisheng seemed quite excited.
When he spoke, his face was even more joyful.
"Sister, this is Luo Chen, the friend I mentioned before who is very good at alchemy."
"Fellow Daoist Luo, this is my biological sister, Tao Wan!"
In fact, as early as the first sentence, Luo Chen noticed the woman standing next to Tao Yisheng.
Dressed in Tsing Yi, tall and tall.
He has a oval face and long eyebrows.
Looking at Luo Chen now, his clear eyes were filled with suspicion.
"Luo Chen, I have met fellow Taoist Tao Wan." Luo Chen greeted him in advance, his tone was quite polite.
The spiritual power fluctuations emitted by the other party are truly late-stage foundation building.
The opponent's strength and reputation are also widely spread in Tianlan Immortal City.
On the list of geniuses, this woman ranks one behind Chu Kui, and her fighting ability is not inferior!
Tao Wan glanced sideways, frowned and said, "You have a good relationship with He Yun?"
He Yun?
Xuanyunzi’s real name.
Luo Chen raised his brows and said calmly: "It's not bad, do you have any advice?"
Tao Wan became even more suspicious.
Next to him, Tao Yisheng finally noticed something was wrong, and he quietly tugged on Tao Wan's sleeve.
"Sister, this is my friend. I made friends with him before He Yun."
The tone was almost pleading.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen felt increasingly uncomfortable.
This woman is a little weird!
Perhaps to take care of Tao Yisheng's face, Tao Wan's expression softened a bit and was no longer as aggressive as before.
She nodded to Luo Chen, "It's not about giving advice, I'm just curious. Yu Xuan's family doesn't have a good relationship with my Tao family, so I asked."
There was no apology, just an explanation of the reason for the previous aggressive questioning.
Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Sorry, I don't know much about the grudges between you."
Although her level was low and she was the sister of a "friend", Luo Chen still gave her enough face.
Tao Wan nodded. Just as he was about to say something, his open mouth closed.
A figure hurried through the increasingly lively dinner hall and headed straight for them.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, I, the elder of Ice Castle, have invited me!"
The person who spoke was Shi Boying, and his tone was neither high nor low, and normal people could hear it.
When she finished speaking.
In the hall, all eyes fell on Luo Chen.
Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged, "Please, fellow Taoist, lead the way."
Under the leadership of Shi Boying, the two walked through the hall, letting those eyes follow them.
In the original corner.
Tao Yisheng's face was full of displeasure.
"Sister, he is a rare friend that I have met since I left the sect, and he is also an alchemist who is very good at alchemy."
"How could you treat him with that attitude."
Tao Wan did not reply, but narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Luo Chen's leaving figure.
Thin eyelashes concealed the emotion in her eyes.
…
It was late at night.
The lights were still bright in the long and narrow passage.
Reflected by the pieces of black ice, Luo Chen's face behind Shi Boying kept changing.
Finally, it calms down.
"Fairy Jueqing is Tantaixi's master. She has no other reason to see me but the Jade Dew Pill!"
With his mind settled, Luo Chen felt less anxious.
Soon, Shi Boying took Luo Chen outside a cold hall.
"Please, the elder is inside."
Luo Chen straightened his collar, smoothed the wrinkles at the corners of his clothes, and walked in generously.
After entering, I didn't have time to look up.
The familiar voice came to my ears.
"Did you refine the Jade Dew Pill?"
Compared with the auction, the tone is cooler, more like Tantai Xun.
No!
In other words, Tantai Hao's voice is more like that of Master Jindan.
Luo Chen took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "I am indeed refining it."
"Can I increase the number of elixirs?"
"Not in the short term."
Communication was interrupted for a time.
In the deep cold palace, there was only unspeakable silence.
Wisps of golden elixir stage aura spread from the inside out.
Luo Chen, who was already exhausted, felt as if his soul was frozen stiff under this momentum, and even his thoughts slowed down a lot.
Until the ruthless fairy spoke again.
"Not in a short period of time. In other words, you are confident that you can increase the rate of elixir formation!"
Not a question, but a yes.
Suddenly, a thick book fell in front of Luo Chen and floated quietly.
"This is the alchemy experience written by an elder of my guest at Ice Castle during his lifetime. It covers everything from the first level to the third level. Practice it and increase the rate of Jade Dew Pill formation as soon as possible."
Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
"Besides, your soul is too weak and you can't even hold on to my momentum."
"This is Ice God Jade. Wearing it for a long time can help you improve your soul."
Luo Chen was dumbfounded.
Was this when he met his long-lost biological mother?
Be so good to yourself.
wrong!
If you want to take it, you must first give it!
The other party is just a normal exchange of interests.
As expected, the next words confirmed Luo Chen's judgment.
"Ten years from now, I want you to provide a steady supply of Jade Dew Pills of my Jueqing lineage, no less than a thousand pills every year!"
"The more quantity, the better, and the higher the quality, the better. Can it be done?"
Looking at the book and jade in front of him.
Luo Chen took a deep breath.
He raised his head slowly but firmly.
The clear eyes and the cold and ruthless ice eyes met each other.
"I need the best alchemy cauldron, and I need the help of second-level earth fire!"
"Yes!"
…
When Luo Chen walked out of the palace, his expression was still a little dazed.
What I gained throughout the whole day today is really a bit outrageous.
So much so that he is still a bit unresponsive now.
And when Shi Lan came to him, he almost couldn't stand it.
"Senior Luo Chen, I've reserved the second-level high-grade cave you reserved for you!"
