Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 201: Chapter 123: Finalization of Wind Riding Technique, Closure of Dao Debate Platform (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

Indeed, this is a significant expenditure.

Twenty Dusting Pills, four thousand Spirit Stones.

Ten boxes of Calming Incense, one thousand two hundred Spirit Stones.

In total, it amounts to over five thousand.

With this amount, even high-grade Magic Tools can be purchased, and the best quality Magic Tools can be given a thought.

What impressed Liu Hecai was that Luo Chen, who previously used to agonize over a few dozen Spirit Stones, could now casually spend five thousand Spirit Stones without batting an eye.

This very fact showed the extent of Luo Chen’s profound knowledge in the Dao of Alchemy, and how he managed to accumulate such vast wealth in such a short time.

However, what Liu didn’t know was that this expenditure exhausted almost all of Luo Chen’s current wealth.

After buying these cultivation resources, he was left with a mere hundred scattered Spirit Stones.

”It can’t be helped. For the sake of cultivation, I’ve let Boss Liu make fun of my poverty,” Luo Chen lamented.

Liu Hecai seemed to understand something, he waved over a maid and instructed her on a few things.

Shortly after, the power delivered the corresponding elixirs.

The maid even glanced at Luo Chen a few times, as if she wanted to remember his face.

After Luo Chen paid the Spirit Stones, Liu Hecai laughed and said, ”It looks like you’re seeing the recent turmoil in The Great River District and are preparing for the future, aren’t you?”

”Your sharp eyes indeed can’t be fooled by anything!”

Luo Chen flattered Liu Hecai, hoping to get some high-level information from this Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the sect.

In the midst of Luo Chen’s flattery, Liu Hecai was rather pleased.

”Actually, there’s no need to worry so much.”

”Oh? Could you explain further?”

Rumor has it that this is internal news!

”The reason is simple. The Yu Ding Sword Sect wouldn’t allow the chaos in The Great River District to continue.”

At this statement, Luo Chen was taken aback.

Indeed, The Great River District is not a small marketplace but a large one adjacent to the Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains.

The resources are abundant and the prospects vast.

The increasing number of businesses set up by the Yu Ding Sword Sect in the district indicates their value of it.

Immersed in situations, he apparently didn’t see it that clearly.

Seeing Luo Chen have his moment of realization, Liu Hecai chuckled and said, ”You bottom-level cultivators only see the surface chaos. However, this time, the chaos is mainly aimed at Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and even those Golden Core Cultivators who go in and out of the Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains.”

The Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains are immensely rich in resources.

Naturally, it’s impossible for only Qi Refinement Stage Rogue Cultivators trying to make a living there.

Usually, Foundation Establishment Cultivators also enter and exit the area.

From time to time, some Golden Core Cultivators, in search of certain medicinal herbs, ores, or Demon Beasts, even personally take a trip.

This could be witnessed from the resources for Foundation Establishment Golden Cores sold in the auctions in The Great River District.

”The Golden Core Ascendant Master of Yu Ding Sword Sect could not possibly stay in the First Order Spirit Vein Land, right?”

”Hmm.”

”He’s bound to leave. Before leaving, naturally, he would clean up the mess. So, you don’t have to worry too much.”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the pile of boxes and jade vials on Luo Chen’s side.

In his eyes, there was a hint of teasing.

Damn!

Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ve already paid the Spirit Stones.

Luo Chen really wanted to curse at his craftiness. But considering Liu’s willingness to give him some insights, he couldn’t bring himself to curse.

After leaving the Spirit Medicine Hall, Luo Chen questioned whether he resembled those on Earth, who hoard salt in panic.

On the way to Crescent Valley, Luo Chen, based on Boss Liu’s hints and comments, reassessed the recent upheaval in The Great River District.

Eventually, he made several conjectures.

The chaos began after Golden Core Ascendant Master, Pang Renxiong, arrived.

Among these, the Enforcement Team’s inaction fuelled the turmoil.

Moreover, the increasing rewards at the Dao Debate Platform were a curious point.

In this perspective, this situation was apparently created by Pang Renxiong.

His purpose was also easy to guess.

The death of Fei Bowen!

Fei Bowen, a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Ailao Mountain, died in The Great River District.

According to the disciples from the Immortal Residence, Fei Bowen’s cause of death was a Magic Item Level Sword Pill. The evidence pointed towards the Yu Ding Sword Cultivators, and even implicated the person with the highest cultivation level in the district at that time - Pang Renxiong.

After all, only Pang Renxiong possessed a Magic Item Level Sword Pill.

As a result of this, the Supreme Elder from Ailao Mountain personally went to the Yu Ding Sword Sect seeking justice.

Luo Chen didn’t understand why a Golden Core Sect dared to demand an explanation from a Nascent Soul Great Sect.

He only understood that restrictions existed between sects, which was not as simple as fighting and killing.

In particular, Ailao Mountain held a strong position in the Yu Ding Realm. Most of the construction of city districts had their involvement.

Once the Supreme Elder took action, the Yu Ding Sword Sect certainly had to respond.

This response came a bit late, only after half a year.

Of course, this half-year time would only seem long to a Qi Refinement Cultivator.

For Golden Core Ascendant Masters, who usually spend decades in closed-door cultivation, this length of time could merely be the duration of one cultivation session.

Half a year later, Pang Renxiong returned to The Great River District and stirred up chaos.

Perhaps he wanted to muddy the waters and find the real culprit.

Alternatively, he could just be putting on a show for Ailao Mountain.

In any case, he came, made an effort.

When the time comes to leave, whether the real culprit was found or not, doesn’t matter anymore.

”If the progression of events is as such, then the turmoil in The Great River District might not last very long?”

As for his own hypothesis, Luo Chen was somewhat skeptical.

However, he soon thought of another question.

This ”not very long” phrase, was it applied to the Qi Refinement Cultivators or to the Foundation Establishment Golden Cores?

For both of these cultivators, their perception of time wasn’t the same!

”Anyway, the resources I bought for cultivation definitely won’t be wasted.”

The elixirs and Calming Incense are needed items for Luo Chen.

Whether there’s great chaos or not, he would use these every day.
