Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen’s gaze paused for a moment amidst the bustling scene on the first floor.

Of course, this wasn’t a place for casting or repairing magic items.

This was the Wanbao Pavilion, the new store laid out by Tian Fan City in the Moon-Breaking Immortal City; the store was enormous, mainly for selling new weapons and accepting custom orders and repair tasks for weapons.

But even with such a large store, it was still filled to the brim with cultivators bustling about.

Every so often, the sound of their complaints could be heard.

“This is way too expensive!”

“It’s just a broken sword tip. Can’t you just get some materials and fix it? Do you really need to charge me nine hundred Spirit Stones?”

“Look closely, this is an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool. It only cost me three thousand five hundred Spirit Stones when I bought it, and now you’re telling me it’s a thousand to fix it!”

“Back when the Flame Alliance repaired magic tools, they never fleeced people like this!”

Faced with these complaints and haggling, the disciples of Tian Fan City wore smiles on their faces but showed almost no sign of backing down.

Mostly, they countered with more or less the same responses.

“You get what you pay for, this truly isn’t expensive!”

“In your eyes, it’s just fixing a sword tip, but in reality, the Array needs to be deconstructed and then redeployed. Nine hundred is a friendship price. You know, most who are proficient in Armor Breaking Arrays are Array Masters. To get an Array Master to serve you for a mere nine hundred is already a steal!”

“Friend, don’t miss the forest for the trees. This is the time of Open War, with countless opportunities. Instead of haggling over a thousand Spirit Stones here, better to fix it quickly and earn a few thousand Spirit Stones sooner!”

“Flame Alliance? That’s old news. Now, in Moon-Breaking Immortal City, the only ones who can repair Top Grade Magical Tools are us from Tian Fan City.”

“How is it expensive? The price has always been the same for years, don’t speak with your eyes closed to the truth. Our Tool Casting Crafters in Tian Fan City find it very tough to repair magic tools. If it’s really too much, then maybe you should consider buying a new one!”

“Friend, take a look at this Qinggang Sword. It may only be an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool, but its power is no less than a Top Grade…”

…

After stepping out of the noisy Wanbao Pavilion, Luo Chen violently shook his head.

It’s as if he was shaking all that noisy sound out of his ears.

Looking back at the Wanbao Pavilion belonging to Tian Fan City, Luo Chen smacked his lips, barely holding back tears.

They must earn so many Spirit Stones every day!

Magical Weapons and Treasures were different from other consumables.

They are items cultivators devote a great deal of effort to refining to ensure they serve reliably when used.

Even if they are slightly damaged, ninety-nine percent of people wouldn’t replace them but choose to repair them instead.

Even now, if someone offered Luo Chen a new Xuanhuo Sword in exchange for his old one, he would certainly refuse.

Clearly, Tian Fan City understood this mindset and that’s why they dared to quote such exorbitant prices.

If there were competitors, at least the prices could be driven down.

Clearly, aside from Tian Fan City, there’s hardly a reputable Casting Sect in the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.

If the Flame Alliance were still around, they would naturally take away a small portion of the business, and those profits…

No, wait!

Not just a small portion!

They’d also have to consider the premium that comes with a monopoly.

“So it seems, Tian Fan City’s meticulous efforts to deal with the Flame Alliance had their reasons indeed!”

“No wonder True Master Tian Yezi personally helped when they were building Moon-Breaking Immortal City.”

“Forget it, coveting their business won’t get me anywhere.”

“That branch my Luo Tian Sect set up in the Liuguang District can get a share, which is actually quite good.”

There will always be poor cultivators who can’t afford the expensive repairs.

For this, they’d rather go around the Immortal City to find someone to repair their weapons in the Rear.

That was the business Duan Feng and his colleagues were doing.

Taking the leftovers that slipped through the fingers of Tian Fan City.

Even these leftovers brought in far more earnings than during peaceful times!

One must learn to be content!

Luo Chen turned and headed to the eighth shop of the Luo Tian Alliance.

Upon hearing of his arrival, Xu Huanzhen promptly greeted him personally, and also reported the shop’s recent approximate earnings.

The shop was well located.

Currently, the main business of the Sect Master of Luo Tian was related to Demon Beasts.

Various materials from the bodies of Demon Beasts, dead demon meat, live young beasts, and so forth.

Overall, the earnings were average.

Luo Chen didn’t really have a good solution for this.

Although the shop was well located and it was a good opportunity to make money, this shop was operated jointly by the three families of Luo Tian Alliance.

Therefore, the types of business were very diverse.

During peaceful times, this might have attracted many potential customers.

But in this time of war, those cultivators preferred to go specialized shops and didn’t pay much attention to their “general store.”

It was just the occasional person coming to hunt for treasures, picking up leaks.

Luo Chen also inquired about the business that Wind and Rain Villa and the Cen Family were doing and learned that they were frequently sending people to the front line to gather resources and then resell them, getting a rough idea in his heart.

Now the Luo Tian Alliance seemed to have temporarily stabilized.

Everyone was finding ways to make money!

“Recently, a lot of people from Golden Core Great Sects have come to inquire, asking if we have any intention of transferring the eighth shop. What do you think, Supreme Elder?”

Luo Chen waved his hand dismissively, “Just turn them down! This shop doesn’t look profitable right now, but it has great potential. Once the situation stabilizes, I’ll have Gu Caiyi come to manage it personally and change the business strategy.”

“Understood,” Xu Huanzhen nodded.

Just before leaving, Luo Chen took with him a Second Order Demon Wolf that was still alive from the shop.
