On the busy street, Lu Zhong disguised himself as a jade-faced young man and wandered around casually.
Although Fengyundu is a ferry and a transportation hub for materials from the east and west continents, it does not mean that it is not prosperous.
Along both sides of the street, there are shops selling goods. Their business scope is very wide, covering basically everything that monks need. Among them, there are many shops selling spiritual herbs.
passing somewhere.
"Huh."
Lu Zhong let out a sigh and looked at the booth at the door.
"Jade Ninghua, and... Biyuncao!"
These two elixirs have long been extinct in Qinghe Realm. Unexpectedly, they are still sold here, and judging from the signs on the shops, they are clearly wholesale products.
This discovery made him amazed.
If the prediction is correct, someone in this world must have figured out a way to cultivate the elixir of heaven and earth on a large scale.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Lu Zhong was about to start refining the elixir, but he was worried that the source of the elixir of heaven and earth was not easy to solve. After all, if he used the "Reverse Creation Formation" to transform the required spiritual energy, with his current wealth, he would be drained of all his spiritual energy in just a few clicks. stone.
It would be great if there was a direct replacement.
So he stepped into the store called "Yao Sheng Chamber of Commerce".
Unexpectedly, there were only three small shops outside.
As people flowed in, it turned out to be a Xumi mustard space, covering an area of at least a hundred acres.
Lu Zhong was not surprised by this. After all, it was a chamber of commerce that conducted cross-continental trade. If it was like a small shop on the street, doing small business, then there would be a real problem.
At this moment, the Chamber of Commerce was filled with people.
It seems to be a common convention. Most of the people responsible for reception are female cultivators. They basically provide one-on-one service, either introducing information about the products, or chatting with them in the teahouse.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps nearby.
"Senior, how can I help you?"
A female cultivator in a skirt, charming but not pretty, came up to her, smiling and leaning forward.
"Is there a list of elixirs? I want to take a look first."
"Yes, but you have to wait for a while. Senior, you can go to the teahouse over there and take a short rest." The female cultivator heard Lu Zhong's intention and said with enthusiasm.
"Yeah." Lu Zhong nodded.
Then I took a look at the teahouse and found that there were still many empty seats, so I found an empty seat and sat down.
After a while, a maid came over to pour tea.
Lu Zhong tasted it and found that the taste was just average, barely palatable.
Of course, this may be because he is too picky.
Put down the tea cup and wait patiently.
However, the strange thing is that even though Lu Zhong waited and waited, the female cultivator just now did not come back.
At this moment, a quarrel between men and women attracted his attention.
One party was a handsome man wearing Linghuan Sect attire, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building. The other party was actually the receptionist female cultivator.
The two got into a conflict for no apparent reason, and now they started to quarrel. Later, the man started to pull at her, as if he wanted to take her away by force.
Lu Zhong looked at this scene without any change in his expression.
After a while, the steward of the Chamber of Commerce finally appeared and stopped the two people who were arguing. I don't know what this person said, so that the Linghuan Sect monk gave up his idea and gave up his plan to take away the female cultivator.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, senior."
The female cultivator wiped away her tears, bowed and apologized, and then placed a directory on the table.
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Zhong picked up the directory and read it carefully.
Seeing the various elixirs that had long been extinct in the Qinghe Realm on the product catalog, he felt more comfortable, thinking that the upper realm was indeed rich in products.
The god-transforming monks who struggled to improve their cultivation in Qinghe Realm, after arriving in Xiaolinghuan Realm, the problem of lack of cultivation resources was almost completely solved.
"However... the output of finished elixirs seems to be under control."
He discovered from the directory that although the Yaosheng Chamber of Commerce could provide a large amount of raw materials, there were very few elixirs among the products, especially high-level elixirs suitable for high-level monks. The quantity was even pitifully small, with only one or two kinds. And it seems to be of low quality, obviously not produced by a big force.
After some insinuations, Lu Zhong learned the reason from the female cultivator.
"Danmeng!"
The structure of this organization and the origin of its initial formation reminded him of an old incident, that is, when he was in Qingliu Ruins, that was a grassroots organization called the "Mutual Aid Association of Talisman Makers". The two formation concepts were almost the same. It's exactly the same, it can be called a replica of the "Alchemist's Guild".
The only difference is that the Mutual Aid Association of Talisman Makers failed.
Perhaps because she felt that Lu Zhong was trustworthy, the female cultivator couldn't help but feel bitter.
The emergence of the Alchemy Alliance has allowed most of the alchemists outside the sect and family to be incorporated and certified, while those who are unwilling to join have become "uncertified" alchemists and will continue to be attacked by the Alchemy Alliance. Over time, there will be This eliminates the situation where raw materials are cheap but elixirs are expensive.
The female cultivator's words also reminded Lu Zhong.
If he purchases elixirs in large quantities, if anyone is interested, he will be considered to be preparing to make elixirs without a license.
Definitely the target of severe attack by Dan League!
what to do?
Lu Zhong thought for a while, maybe doing research would be a way. He has no interest and no reason to insist on fighting against the Dan Alliance and causing more trouble for himself.
Therefore, if the conditions are right, joining is a good choice.
So he asked the female cultivator about the benefits of becoming a certified alchemist, besides being able to make alchemy legally.
"This junior doesn't know much about this, but it does have a lot of benefits. I heard that if you have a high enough status, you can travel between East and West continents at will. For specific details, seniors can go to Lingang Street, where there is a branch of the Dan League. You can consult and learn more.”
The female cultivator did not think much and revealed the information she knew.
Can I still get a ferry ticket?
Lu Zhong kept this matter in mind and secretly thought that if he went to Dongzhou, he might have the solution. He was confident that his alchemy skills, even if they were not top-notch in the world, were at least first-rate. He estimated that it would not be difficult to obtain the qualifications to go to Dongzhou.
This trip was really a good one!
Return a favor in return.
After he made some plans, he handed over a list of elixirs and said quietly: "Give me a thousand copies of each of the elixirs on this list."
Hearing this, the female cultivator was slightly startled before reacting.
This is a big deal!
At the same time, it was a timely rain that could solve the dilemma she was facing now.
She was overjoyed immediately and thanked Lu Zhong repeatedly, but she still calmed down: "Thank you, senior, for your support, but this junior has no right to handle such a big order. I will go and invite the steward."
After that, she bowed and left in a hurry.
After a while, the female nun came with the steward.
Next, there is a set of business processes.
After confirming the goods and paying for them, Lu Zhong took the elixir worth millions and walked out to Lingang Street.
On the way, he also paid attention to see if anyone was following him.
The result was disappointing, another lackluster day.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but laugh at himself, "That's right, how can there be so many people who kill people and seize treasures, and can take out millions of spirit stones in one go? Even if someone is really secretly coveting them, they will definitely find out the origin first, and then Decide whether to take action."
Shaking his head, he stopped a carriage and headed towards Lingang Street.
About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped steadily in front of a square.
After paying the fare with a spiritual stone, Lu Zhong got out of the car and looked at the magnificent building in front of him. He couldn't help but thought: Sure enough, alchemists are rich, especially an organization that monopolizes the production of elixirs and has pricing power. He must be extremely rich.
"Soon, I will be one of them!"
With this thought in mind, Lu Zhong walked through this magnificent square lined with statues and entered a main hall.
Immediately, a maid came to greet him.
The quality is even worse than that of the female cultivator from the Chamber of Commerce.
After some inquiries, the facts were as Lu Zhong knew before. Becoming an alchemist certified by the Alchemy Alliance does have many benefits. As long as you submit more finished elixirs to the Alchemy Alliance, you can exchange them for elixir coupons.
Using elixir coupons as currency, you can not only exchange them for alchemy inheritance corresponding to the certification level in the elixir alliance treasure house, but also buy rare and hard-to-find elixirs from the outside world, as well as various rare elixir recipes, and even borrow them at very favorable prices. This hires a high-level alchemist to teach.
Ferry tickets to Dongzhou can also be purchased through Dan coupons.
In terms of the treatment of its own people, Danmeng has indeed done a good job.
"No wonder, when the Alchemy Alliance appeared, very few alchemists opposed it."
On the surface, as long as an alchemist joins the Alchemy Alliance, he can obtain everything through alchemy.
Of course, this refers specifically to talented alchemists.
Those untalented alchemists, due to their low alchemy talent, naturally cannot achieve much success and cannot make a sound.
As for what's sordid about the Dan Alliance secretly.
This can only be understood clearly by joining the Dan Alliance.
Then, Lu Zhong asked about the alchemist certification, and the answer he got made him frown.
"Sure enough, we went ashore to build a wall again."
If you want to be certified as an alchemist, there is still a long process to go through. Lu Zhongdu was amazed by how complicated and lengthy the process was.
This set of procedures is so rigorous that it is impossible to refute it. After all, the knowledge of various medicines and examinations such as identifying elixirs are indeed necessary.
"Are there any exemptions?"
"Senior, there is indeed such a condition in the alliance. The General Alliance Council has special regulations. If you have Nascent Soul cultivation level, you can directly start the master level certification examination."
The maid thought it was just a casual question from Lu Zhong, but in order to fulfill her duties dutifully, she still answered truthfully.
The alchemy master certifications of the Dan Alliance are divided into four levels: junior, middle, high, and master, which correspond to the refining abilities of the first to fourth levels of elixirs. Masters and above are certified by the elders of the Dan Alliance.
As for the sixth-level, seventh-level, and even... ninth-level elixirs that are higher up, it is obvious that those with the highest cultivation level are only those from the Alchemy Alliance, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.
"Well, I'm a Nascent Soul now."
As soon as Lu Zhong finished speaking, he raised his breath.
The sudden Yuanying spiritual pressure shocked everyone in the hall.
After knowing that this senior revealed his cultivation in this way in order to start the master certification examination, many people looked strange.
Nascent Soul can directly open the rules for the master certification examination. Naturally, they all know it, but no one has ever done this. At the Nascent Soul stage, alchemists who have not yet joined the Alchemy Alliance are extremely rare.
This incident immediately alarmed the elders of the Dan League here.
"Which fellow Taoist wants to start the master certification?"
Accompanied by a powerful voice, three monks dressed in luxurious clothes entered the hall one after another and were greeted by everyone. The leader was a dark-faced middle-aged man. His gaze swept across the hall and finally landed on the only person who did not salute.
This person is naturally Lu Zhong.
He slightly cupped his hands and said softly: "That's right."
"I don't know how to call you a friend?"
"Chen Dong."
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Chen, I am Yang Jin, this is Pei Yuanqing, and this is Nie Shaoyun. The three of us are the committee members of this branch. We will also supervise the certification examination applied for by Fellow Daoist."
The dark-faced middle-aged man introduced himself and the identities of the two accompanying him.
He paused for a moment and then said:
"But... before that, there are still some procedures to go through."
At this time, Lu Zhong keenly noticed that the three people opposite him changed their positions and faintly surrounded him. If the other party hadn't shown any hostility, he might have wanted to take action first.
Seeing such a scene, some monks sensed something was wrong and were slowly retreating, fearing that they would be affected.
On the other side, Yang Jin stared at Lu Zhong closely, took out a green talisman from the storage ring, held it out and said:
"This talisman is a source-finding talisman. It can stimulate the strange phenomena of the martial arts practiced by the monks. Now is the time of the underworld's invasion. In order to prevent underworld spies from sneaking into the Dan Alliance, I also ask fellow Taoists to activate this talisman to prove that they are immortal monks."
After hearing this, Lu Zhong seemed calm on the surface, but various thoughts were already surging in his mind. Without knowing the effect of the talisman in front of him, he was worried that his true identity would be exposed, so he did not pick it up immediately. Instead, he used the gray fog space to The future was deduced.
The results were far beyond expectations.
In the deduced future, after Lu Zhong activates the green talisman, the effect is indeed as Yang Jin said, which is just to stimulate the strange phenomena of the exercises he practiced.
What surprised him was that when the three members of the council saw the abnormality in the martial arts, they all took action without saying a word.
"Taiyin Induction Chapter, any questions?"
Lu Zhong once again hated the information blockade.
Fortunately, there is no way to hide this. He can decompose the lunar mana and turn it into pure flying star mana through the untransformed star source spirit body.
To be on the safe side, Lu Zhong did not hesitate to use up more of his spiritual consciousness to deduce.
After confirming that everything is correct, proceed as planned.
When the starry vision appeared, the three-person council breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your cooperation, fellow Taoist. Please come with us. If... we can add another alchemy master to the alliance in the future, it will be a great honor for the alchemy alliance. As the certification supervisor, we are also very honored."
"Yes, yes!"
The white-haired old man Pei Yuanqing stroked his beard and smiled.
As for Nie Shaoyun, who had a mean look on his face, he just nodded.
During the process, Yang Jin explained the exam content:
"Chen Daoyou, regarding the Master Certification Examination, there is a lot of content. You need to choose by yourself, or we can provide ten first-level elixir recipes, five second-level elixir recipes, and three third-level elixir recipes. Each Each Zhongdan recipe has two chances to refine it, and it needs to be successful at least once."
"This is the first level. Do you have any objections, fellow Taoist?"
Lu Zhong shook his head and said he had no objection.
This level seems obviously unreasonable, but what you need to know is that there must be a reason behind every seemingly unreasonable rule.
"Thank you for your understanding, fellow Taoist." Yang Jin said with a smile.
"As for the second level, we and the three-member committee will each select a fourth-level elixir recipe and provide five corresponding materials. Fellow Taoists have one year to study and practice the elixir recipe. As long as they can each If you succeed once, you will be considered a master certification."
