A long time has passed since Tao Yisheng finished his duty as a guardian of Yuanzhao Kingdom and came to Tianlan Immortal City.
Unexpectedly.
He was in no hurry to return to Qingdan Valley.
Instead, he lived on Tianlan Peak for a long time.
This move also made Luo Chen more and more curious about what he was selling.
In his daily contacts, as long as the other party involved the high-grade elixirs of Qingdan Valley, he would avoid talking about them.
Instead, he showed great enthusiasm for alchemy!
Luo Chen deliberately catered to him and would get together with him every now and then to discuss alchemy techniques.
He also found out.
The other party's alchemy skills were not as good as imagined.
The so-called second-level alchemy master's name is completely unworthy of the name.
I had been bluffed by him before, just because the other party had mastered a lot of alchemy theories.
As a master of alchemy in Qingdan Valley, Tao Yisheng has been exposed to it since he was a child and knows that advanced theories are reasonable.
Now discussing with Luo Chen, some theories have gradually come into practice.
After all, Luo Chen was just the opposite of him.
Advanced theories may not say much.
But when it comes to practice?
Just kidding, the early Luo Tianhui relied on Luo Chen to frantically refine elixirs, step by step, to get where they are today.
With his terrifying alchemy experience, even among the sect's alchemists, he is definitely one of the best.
Tao Yisheng is not the kind of person who can keep his composure.
The reason why he is so tight-lipped must be because his sister has deliberately warned him.
Under this situation, Luo Chen became more and more curious about what the other party was trying to sell.
Just because the other party didn't tell him, it didn't mean that Luo Chen had nothing to do.
…
one year later.
In Cave No. 17 B.
"After inquiring from the Luowang Intelligence Department, we have probably figured out the situation in Qingdan Valley."
"In Qingdan Valley, just like traditional sects, foundation-building monks are divided into inner disciples, true disciples, and Taoist disciples!"
"After a Qi Refining monk is promoted to Foundation Establishment, he is automatically classified as an inner disciple."
"But only the outstanding ones, the geniuses who are expected to form elixirs, will be listed as true successors."
Sima Huiniang talked eloquently to Luo Chen.
In her words, the personnel structure of Qingdan Valley became more and more clear to Luo Chen.
Most inner disciples will be abandoned by Qingdan Valley once the gap between them is widened.
At this time, various duties will be assigned.
Either serve the true disciples, or be in charge of the outer sect, or be assigned to the outside world, like Miao Wen of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, to handle various trivial industries for the sect.
But true disciples are different.
Unless there is something important, you can concentrate on your cultivation.
Speaking of this, Sima Huiniang paused.
"Both of these identities are easy for us to understand. Only the sect's Taoism is completely different!"
Luo Chen became more energetic and asked carefully: "What's the difference?"
Sima Huiniang said seriously: "The Taoist seeds of the major sects are cultivated as future Jindan monks."
"Only one person emerges from each generation!"
"Once the identity is confirmed, all the sect's resources will be tilted towards him."
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "Resources for cultivation?"
"It's not just that!" Sima Huiniang sighed: "There are other resources."
"For example, human resources, once they become Tao Seeds, most of the sect's Qi Refining and Foundation Building will gather towards the Golden elixir Tao Seeds and be driven by them. It won't be long before the Tao Seeds can achieve the status of the first person under the Golden elixir within the sect. .”
"There is also Elder Jindan, who always gives advice and teaches the other party how to form elixirs."
"In addition, a third-level cave will be provided!"
"I even heard that the natal magic weapon will be prepared for the other party before the elixir is formed. After the elixir is formed, the cultivation can be started directly."
After listening to these things.
Even though Luo Chen was well-informed, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
A large number of golden elixirs can actually enjoy so many conveniences.
Without having to do anything, there are countless monks at his disposal, massive sect resources, third-level spiritual land, and even the life magic weapon has been prepared for him in advance.
What kind of divine treatment is this!
I think of his hard work, managing and fighting at the same time, sometimes dealing with each other, and sometimes using his own strength to fight.
After a lot of hard work, I can't even compare to others.
Luo Chen quickly shook his head, took a deep breath and asked:
"In other words, Tao Wan wants to compete for the position of Tao Seed?"
Sima Huiniang smoothed the green hair on her lips and lightly opened her red lips: "I was not sure at first."
"Due to previous intelligence, it has been found that the Qingdan Valley Taoist seed that has been around for a hundred years has long been determined to be Danyangzi, who is known as the master of both Danyang and Sword."
"But for some reason, a few years ago, he was deprived of his Taoist status and was relegated to the position of true disciple."
"As a result, the internal forces in Qingdan Valley suddenly became chaotic."
"It is rumored that Qingdan Valley is going to re-establish the Jindan Dao Seed!"
Uh-huh!
Luo Chen's eyes suddenly widened.
He has already realized the purpose of Tao Yisheng's sister and brother pulling on him like this.
The position of Jindan Dao Seed!
"I accidentally learned this news from Ice Castle Shi Boying when I was chatting with her not long ago."
"The authenticity should be 70% to 80%."
Luo Chen thought about it and asked, "Is there any accurate news about the time for the re-establishment of Jindan Taoism?"
Sima Huiniang said uncertainly:
"According to Shi Boying, Danyangzi was deprived of his Taoist status about seven years ago."
"What Qingdan Valley said at that time was to reestablish the Golden Pill Taoism in ten years."
"Calculating the time, it will probably be three or four years later."
Three or four years...
Luo Chen was thinking about this time.
Then he asked: "Then do you know how Qingdan Valley selects Jindan Dao seeds?"
"This is well known to everyone." Sima Huiniang smiled slightly.
"Um?"
"Because every time the Golden Elixir Taoist Seed is selected, Qingdan Valley will invite some monks who are close to the sect to watch the ceremony. The purpose is self-evident, not only to show strength, but also to lay out external human resources for the Golden Elixir Tao Seed. . The selection method is no longer a secret."
Under Luo Chen's curiosity, Sima Huiniang told the specific selection method.
It's similar to other conventional true sword fighting, but with an additional addition.
That is alchemy!
"Actually, it's not an additional addition."
"Many sects will have additional selection methods. For example, Luoyun Sect has the famous Puppet Racing, Yan League has Forging Comparison, etc."
"Of course, considering that some true disciples are dedicated to cultivation and are not good at external things. Therefore, these sects relaxed the conditions and allowed true disciples who participated in the competition for Tao seeds to ask for help."
When it comes to this.
Luo Chen has completely understood what the Tao Wan siblings want.
They are interested in their own alchemy skills!
But why not speak out?
Luo Chen frowned and fell into thought.
Sima Huiniang sat quietly aside, knowing what was going on and not interrupting.
It is her ultimate achievement to present the intelligence collected.
To analyze the inside story, Luo Chen, the person involved, has to do it himself.
After a long time, Luo Chen seemed to realize something.
A great cultivator like Tao Wan with a nine-level foundation must have an extremely broad network of contacts.
There must be quite a few outstanding alchemists that I know.
Especially, the other party is still in a major alchemy sect like Qingdan Valley.
In this way, it is not difficult to find one or two excellent alchemists.
Not much else to say, over the past year, her brother Tao Yisheng has gradually turned theoretical knowledge into practice, and is on the verge of becoming a true second-level alchemist.
It is conceivable that there must be many outstanding alchemists around her.
In this case, he is not the only choice.
"Tao Yisheng has been discussing alchemy with me during this period. He seems to be improving himself, but he is also trying to understand my alchemy skills."
"Maybe I just need to make sure that my alchemy skills are strong enough."
"Only his sister will cooperate with me and even negotiate terms."
After thinking about this.
All the previous doubts suddenly became clear.
"Then what I did before was a bit too conservative."
Luo Chen pursed his lips, thinking of the Alchemy exchanges over the past year.
It is definitely impossible for him to communicate everything generously.
This is human nature.
But if you want the other party to take you seriously, you must show more.
"Next, I have to show off my alchemy skills a little more."
Slowly, Luo Chen had a clear plan for what to do next.
The frown on Luo Chen's face gradually relaxed.
Sima Huiniang, who was very good at observing words and emotions, knew that her president already had a solution to the problem.
This is a subconscious trust.
In her eyes, there is nothing that can trouble the president.
No matter how hard it is!
Luo Chen breathed out and looked at Sima Huiniang.
"How is the situation in the meeting recently?"
Sima Huiniang smiled slightly.
"As you might have expected, after the foundation-building celebration ended, our various businesses were hardly hindered at all."
"The new businesses are gradually getting on the right track."
"As long as this continues to develop, it will snowball and get bigger and bigger."
"Even if, President, you don't personally make elixirs in the future, Luo Tianhui will still be able to make a lot of money."
Hearing what she said, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile brightly.
Finally, all the previous planning was not in vain.
The development of a force cannot be pinned on him alone.
The previous model was unhealthy.
The current development is benign.
"The only pity is that Palace Master Bian Zhen failed to build the foundation."
Sima Huiniang sighed, "It's such a pity to waste a Foundation Establishment Pill."
Luo Chen had heard about the news about Bian Zhen's foundation building before.
He shook his head, "Failure to build the foundation is a common practice. As long as a person is still alive, he is extremely lucky."
In Luo Tianhui.
I have accumulated a lot of experience on breaking through foundation building.
Even if you fail, as long as you are not obsessed with trying to get into trouble, you can still save your life with the protection of the corresponding elixir.
As for the wasted Foundation Establishment Pill?
Luo Chen didn't feel anything at all.
Successful monks like them no longer care about Foundation Establishment Pills, not to mention that he himself can refine Imperial Ooze with similar effects.
Sima Huiniang stood at a different angle.
She looks at this from the position of the leader of a force.
Whether it's Foundation Establishment Pills or people, in her eyes, they all belong to Luo Tianhui's resources.
The foundation building failed. Not only was a foundation building pill missing, but also a foundation building monk was missing. This was what made her feel quite regretful.
"Next, who will you arrange to build the foundation?" Luo Chen asked.
Sima Huiniang said without thinking: "I am going to choose one between Qin Liangchen, the master of Xiaguang Palace, and Sima Xian, the master of Douzhan Palace. President, who do you think is better to arrange to build the foundation first?"
Luo Chen pondered for a moment and then said:
"Both of them are already over sixty years old, and they no longer care whether they are sooner or later."
"Now is the time for Luo Tianhui to hire people. Xiaguang Hall is the outer gate and there is no shortage of people."
"On the contrary, in the Battle Hall, there will be no big battles for the time being."
"Let your eldest brother go into seclusion and break through first!"
Sima Huiniang's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Okay, then I will listen to you, President."
Seeing her like this, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"It's up to you to arrange the corresponding resources. Your elder brother has also helped me a lot over the years, so don't wait any longer."
"Yes, yes, I know. Not only him, but I will also make arrangements for Palace Master Qin and Palace Master Murong in the future."
Sima Huiniang said softly.
His soft body was sitting on Luo Chen's lap unknowingly.
…
"No, no, you Huanxi hand is not using it correctly!"
"As an alchemy technique that is most suitable for processing water-based medicinal materials, its essence lies in refining the feminine power in the medicinal materials."
"How to refine it? It must not be done head-on, but rather softly."
"Stand aside and watch me do something!"
In Yiwu Cave Mansion.
Tao Yisheng reluctantly gave up his position.
Then he watched Luo Chen stand next to the alchemy furnace, ignite the fire, decompose the medicinal materials, and refine the medicinal properties...
In just half a cup of tea, a prepared medicinal solution appeared in front of Tao Yisheng.
Tao Yisheng was very unwilling before.
At this moment, looking at the medicinal liquid that exudes the rich water attribute and is feminine, I can't help but admire: "You are worthy of the Taoist brother who has the name of Danchenzi!"
"As soon as the master takes action, he will know if there is any."
"Even in the Qingdan Valley, where the genius of alchemy is as great as the crucian carp crossing the river, I have never seen anyone who can handle the blue silt flower as easily as you!"
"Even some of the third-level alchemists in my sect cannot achieve this level!"
Such boastful words should not be thrown around like money.
Luo Chen had a smile on his face.
He waved his hand modestly, "I can't speak of a master, I just have some experience. The most important thing is how much have you learned just now?"
Tao Yisheng thought about it carefully.
"It is true that my previous technique was wrong. Based on Brother Tao's demonstration, I made at least three mistakes in controlling spiritual power."
"No!" Luo Chen shook his finger, "You made seven mistakes!"
Tao Yisheng's eyes widened.
He has worked hard.
Are there seven mistakes in this?
When he didn't believe in evil, Luo Chen directly pointed out the seven mistakes.
Then he encouraged: "If you don't believe it, go and refine this Yang Shui now and see what the effect is!"
Yes.
What Tao Yisheng is refining now is surprisingly the first-level elixir of the Yaowang Sect, the Yang Shui!
I don’t know where he got the elixir from.
Tao Yisheng took a short break and then started again.
Luo Chen retreated to the back and watched him refining the pill seriously.
If there are outsiders here.
I'm afraid I'll be surprised.
In general, when making alchemy, the alchemist will try his best to withdraw from the surroundings and work alone.
Especially strangers.
Luo Chen and Tao Yisheng were not strangers, but they were neither masters and disciples, nor fellow students.
But Tao Yisheng did not shy away from letting Luo Chen watch from the sidelines while he was refining the elixir.
corresponding.
Luo Chen also gave him advice from time to time when he failed.
Even, occasionally, I will demonstrate it myself.
Such a strange sight.
In the natural conversation between the two, it can be seen that this is not the first time.
When did it start?
About three months ago!
After a discussion on the theory of alchemy, Luo Chen suggested that he might as well try to actually make an elixir.
Since then, such scenes have appeared frequently.
It is also through this model that one person refines elixirs and the other gives guidance.
Luo Chen showed his powerful alchemy skills without reservation.
Almost every time!
Tao Yisheng would be shocked by Luo Chen's various alchemy skills, and then be impressed.
Some dead theories that originally existed only in classics and books have also shown extraordinary results when combined with practice.
"I think there should be no second-level alchemist with my level of attainment!"
Luo Chen thought confidently as he watched Tao Yisheng concentrate on refining the elixir.
About an hour later.
Tao Yisheng got a portion of Yang Shui.
Top grade!
At that moment, he was overjoyed!
Pulling Luo Chen's sleeves, laughing and dancing, he showed no signs of being a true cultivator of foundation building.
But Luo Chen didn't show any disgust at this childish scene.
People!
Facing your favorite hobbies will always be extraordinarily different.
"Luo Chen, thank you, thank you very much!"
After the ecstasy, Tao Yisheng spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"Although I am called a second-level alchemist, I actually only used secret techniques passed down from my family to improve the quality of an elixir by luck, and then passed the assessment of a second-level alchemist."
"Now, I can refine a first-level high-grade elixir. I'm not far away from refining a second-order elixir."
"All of this depends on your guidance!"
Luo Chen smiled and said:
"That's because you are gifted."
"No no no!"
Tao Yisheng shook his head like a rattle.
"I can clearly tell what is right and wrong. This is your credit."
"I'll give this top-grade product to you as a gift!"
Luo Chen didn't refuse and took it.
This kind of elixir was indeed nothing to Tao Yisheng.
He could take it back and use it for the Luo Tianhui monks to sprint and build their foundation.
In fact, these days, he has also stocked up on a lot of middle-grade Yang Yang Shui.
"I'm a little tired from refining alchemy today, so I'll go back first."
Luo Chen waved his hand and said goodbye.
Watching him walk out of the cave, Tao Yisheng shouted subconsciously.
"Brother Luo Chen!"
Luo Chen turned around and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else?"
Tao Yisheng opened his mouth, but finally said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I have to practice in seclusion recently, and the next time I will discuss alchemy will be in about two months!"
Luo Chen shrugged.
"Anything is fine, it depends on your time."
After saying that, he left Cave No. 5 in a free and easy manner.
Tao Yisheng, who was inside, had a rather complicated expression on his face.
…
Out of the cave.
Luo Chen flew slowly towards home.
His face was full of smiles.
"In the past few months, I have not mentioned anything related to high-grade elixirs. I have only shown off my alchemy skills to the fullest."
"Sure enough, the effect is completely different from before!"
When you ask for help from others, don't show it too obviously.
On the contrary, what he is doing now has an excellent effect.
Tao Yisheng couldn't help it anymore!
And if he can't help it, it means that Tao Wan behind him will most likely be invited out.
There is nothing better than playing hard to get!
"I want to see how long you can endure it?"
While chuckling, Luo Chen returned to Cave No. 17.
Quiet room.
After slightly sensing the concentration of spiritual energy, Luo Chen couldn't help but frown.
He found that Tao Yisheng's Cave B-5 seemed to have a slightly higher spiritual energy concentration than his.
They are all high-grade caves. Does it mean that the closer one is to the front, the better the concentration of spiritual energy?
"It's a pity that the first seven caves on Tianlan Peak are owned by the Seven Jade Cauldron Sects, so it's not my turn at all."
With a sigh, Luo Chen calmed down.
Tao Yisheng wants to retreat, why doesn't he need a retreat?
Over the past year.
He uses the Blood Evil Pill to unblock his meridians every half month.
Combined with the spiritual energy channeling of the "Eternal Youth Sutra".
As of now, it's just a matter of time to open up the last secret meridian.
"One hundred meridians are connected, and Qi can come at will."
"Every move is natural, creating a peerless foundation!"
"I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Luo Chen took a deep breath and took a high-grade blood evil pill.
A rich red light spread out from his body and gradually enveloped his whole body.
