Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 210: Chapter 125 High-end Black Market, Recycling Second-hand Magic Tools _3

”By the way, both tool casting and pill refinement require fire. What about your fire?”

...

...

Only then did Luo Chen realize that Duan Feng hadn’t purchased a large amount of firewood or coal.

Duan Feng said curiously, ”In Qinghe Mountain, what we are never short of is fire.”

”Hm?”

Next, Luo Chen saw Duan Feng run into the branch office of the Lianyun Business Union.

When he came out, he was carrying a large handful of green grass.

”Qinghe Demon, a First Order wood type spirit, once ignited, the flame is incredibly intense, comparable to earth fire.”

”Moreover, the size of the fire can be controlled freely by adjusting the length of the Qinghe Demon’s body that’s put into the furnace.”

As he was talking, Duan Feng demonstrated by stuffing a piece of Qinghe Demon into the furnace.

Crack!

With a small fireball, the end of the Qinghe Demon gradually ignited.

Duan Feng gave a gentle push, and a substantial part of the Qinghe Demon was pushed into the furnace, the fire immediately blazed up.

Then he pulled it out a little, and the fire diminished considerably.

Faintly, one could hear a clear sound of agonizing wails.

”Gasp!”

”You guys are so cruel!”

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up!

Not visiting the Ancient Plains Mountain Range for a long time, when did this good stuff get discovered?

What would be the effect of using this thing for pill refinement?

Also, is this thing dead, why would it scream?

”We found it last summer.” Duan Feng said somewhat unnaturally, ”Previously, several nearby mountains were full of these harmless wood type spirits, Qinghe Demons, so this place became a main route into the mountains.”

”But last summer, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator passed by and thought the Qinghe Demons were an eyesore. He burned them with Foundation Establishment True Flame which caused a massive fire, nearly burning down the entire Qinghe Mountain.”

”That was when people discovered that these Qinghe Demons were extremely burn-resistant.”

”But once the Qi Refinement Stage Rogue Cultivators got a hold of them, they couldn’t get them to ignite.”

”Later, the Lianyun Business Union found out the special technique to ignite the Qinghe Demons, then they put out a bounty for rogue cultivators to catch Qinghe Demons and sell to them.”

”After they get it, with a little rework, they sell it to other places at higher prices.”

After hearing the explanation, Luo Chen was enlightened.

No wonder he hadn’t noticed before, this thing actually needed the Foundation Establishment method to elicit its real use!

Suddenly, he looked at the uneasy Duan Feng and thought of a possibility.

”Don’t tell me, you used to catch these things too?”

Duan Feng shifted uncomfortably, ”When I went into the mountain to hunt demon beasts, I would always catch a few Qinghe Demons on the way home to sell to the Lianyun Business Union.”

”Then now you’re buying them back at a higher price? And you didn’t even haggle?”

”Um, it seems that way.”

Damn!

There’s someone even more cunning than me!

Lianyun Business Union, I’ll remember you!

Luo Chen, annoyed, said to Duan Feng, ”Remember to haggle when buying Qinghe Demons in bulk.”

”Alright.”

”’Alright’ what? Use the excuse of buying Qinghe Demons to make a good relationship with the cultivators from the Lianyun Business Union; you could use their influence in crucial times.”

”Also, if you encounter danger, show them the token and mention my name, Dan Chenzi. If that doesn’t work, mention the name of Mi Shuhua from the Broken Mountain Gang, try not to fight.”

He finished speaking and gently admonished Duan Feng, before leaving with his bodyguards.

As for those rogue cultivators who were entering and exiting Qinghe Mountain, heading for the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, he didn’t give them a second glance.

Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects, opportunities for Core Formation; could these peasants actually think of these things?

After he left, Duan Feng stood there feeling somewhat at a loss.

He spent his earlier years in the Duan family mainly learning tool casting.

After his mother’s death, he left the Duan family and came to The Great River District, living by fighting.

Now, wanting to run a shop, he did feel a bit out of place.

Stand aside,Feng Xia sighed.

”Xiao Duan, don’t let Luo Chen’s goodwill go to waste.”

Duan Feng nodded, he had seen Luo Chen’s sacrifice.

Purchasing a large number of casting tools, presenting five lower grade magic tools, two medium grade magic tools, and even giving him two thousand spirit stones as liquid capital.

Even the Pill Hall token which could represent his identity, he generously gave it away.

If he said he wasn’t grateful, that would absolutely be deceiving himself.

Moreover, in the past, when he was severely injured, Luo Chen generously gifted a Deficiency Repairing Meridian Fluid.

”So, sometimes you have to learn to adapt, to change.”

”Not just for Luo Chen, but also for yourself.”

Feng Xia looked intently at Duan Feng and said hoarsely, ”Do you remember how Yuan Xiaoyue used to do business?”

Yuan Xiaoyue!

That girl who lived with her disabled grandfather.

Thinking about her scene at White Stone Plaza, Duan Feng unconsciously swallowed.

”Be brave, Xiao Duan!”

Listening to the hoarse but gentle voice by his ear, Duan Feng closed his eyes tightly, spurred his spirit power, and opened his mouth.”

”Feng Sea Duan Family is open for business!”

”Specializing in repairing damaged magic tools, polishing maintenance, custom modifications, Feng Sea Duan Family is your warmest backstage support on the Great Dao Path!””

”Come have a look!”

...

”Can this thing really be used for pill refinement?”

Listening to the faint sounds of wailing, Luo Chen had all sorts of thoughts.

The fire workers in the Pill Room, however, all felt quite creeped out.

Today, after the Hall Master returned, he gave them a Qinghe Demon. Once ignited, it was indeed very useful.
