Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 217: Chapter 128: Seeing the Oriole Again, Listening to Nonsense Again_1

Three months have passed since Luo Chen derived the formula for the Blood Ignition Pill.

Within this period, Luo Chen attempted its alchemy over a dozen times, but only successfully produced two furnaces’ worth.

He obtained five pills from the first furnace, while the second, improved through Pill Fire, yielded seven.

This totalled twelve pills.

He used one to test on a Demon Beast.

He gave two to Wang Yuan.

Thus, now he was left only with nine Blood Ignition Pills.

For this black market auction, he brought out six, leaving just three for himself.

The number ”three” was one he had carefully considered.

While the effects of the Blood Ignition Pill were incredibly special, its aftereffects were decidedly adverse.

Each use would deal damage to his own body.

If more than three pills were consumed consecutively, irreversible damage would accrue.

Unless one, like Wang Yuan, practiced physical cultivation, it would be inevitable for ordinary Qi Refinement Cultivators to avoid this injury.

As Luo Chen was still aspiring to the Great Dao Path, he naturally wouldn’t place himself in such a predicament.

The six Blood Ignition Pills were auctioned off for 120, 90, 80, 90, and 100 Lower Grade Spirit Stones each, a total of 600.

The first was claimed by Tian Xingzi, who had previously declared that he would buy at the highest auction price.

Thus, surprisingly, Luo Chen accumulated a total of 600 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

It must be said, Luo Chen didn’t expect to fetch such a high price.

Ultimately, this is merely a First Order Lower Grade Pill!

However, when he saw those cultivators who impatiently stowed away their newly acquired elixirs, Luo Chen seemed to understand something.

The present time is no longer the past!

Ever since the Dao Debate Platform ceased operation, conflict in The Great River District has increased more and more.

Already like a gigantic powder keg, it could be ignited at any moment.

With the discovery of the Golden Core ruin, The Great River District has become even more chaotic.

The Blood Ignition Pill can unleash immense power in crucial moments, not only catching enemies off guard but also potentially saving one’s life.

If we consider only the results and disregard the healing effects.

Is the Blood Ignition Pill really a Path of Demon Pill? It’s clearly a righteous life-saving elixir!

”Yes, I am refining righteous elixirs!”

Having realized this, Luo Chen’s mood, originally uplifted by the gain of 600 Spirit Stones, became even more cheerful.

After the following few cultivators presented the items they wished to auction, the final phase of the independent trading session arrived.

Luo Chen already had his target.

...

”My friend, are you interested in these five bottles of Runming Pearl Liquid?”

The beautiful female cultivator was surprised, as she didn’t think anyone would be interested in these items.

Hearing her voice, Luo Chen felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity — as if he had heard it somewhere before.

However, he couldn’t recall it at that moment and didn’t dwell on it.

”I heard that this medicine can effectively heal eye damage caused by excessive use of the Spirit Vision Technique. I want to buy some for contingency. How much is it?”

”How about offering the starting price that I just set?” the beautiful female cultivator proposed anxiously.

Luo Chen frowned, ”If I was okay with that price, I would have made the bid earlier.”

The female cultivator offered a bitter smile, ”But if it’s any cheaper, I won’t even recoup my costs.”

”Oh?”

The cost?

Luo Chen tentatively asked, ”As far as I know, this medicine is produced by the Yu Ding Sword Sect and is rarely sold externally. When it does appear, it’s usually at regular auctions.”

”I wonder where you got these five bottles of Runming Pearl Liquid from? Of course, if it’s inconvenient to say, never mind.”

The beautiful female cultivator shook her head, ”There’s nothing secretive. This medicine is now available on the shelves of the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion in other districts, priced at a hundred. I bought five bottles at the Taishan District, intending to resell them for a profit.”

It seems the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion in the Taishan District already has them on the shelves.

Why haven’t they arrived at The Great River District?

After some thought, Luo Chen took out 500 Spirit Stones.

”Thank you for informing me about this. Let’s trade at your starting price!”

The beautiful female cultivator didn’t hesitate and handed Luo Chen the five jade bottles promptly.

The transaction concluded, they were supposed to part ways.

However, the beautiful female cultivator curiously asked, ”Do you have any more Blood Ignition Pills?”

”Hm?”

”It’s like this – the three of us siblings have connections in the Taishan District, Xuelian District and even Liuguang District. If you have a large quantity of Blood Ignition Pills, we could cooperate.”

Are they part of a delivery group?

Luo Chen recalled that during the auction, the beautiful female cultivator and her companions put up many cultivation resources that weren’t from The Great River District.

Initially, he thought they were Calamity Cultivators, and those various items were spoils from their kills, but it turned out they were kind of like ”peddlers.”

However, those involved in this type of business usually have wide-ranging connections and resources, or great personal strength to dare to travel in such a manner.

They lacked only a leader at the Foundation Establishment Stage, otherwise they could have formed a power akin to the Lianyun Business Union.

Facing the beautiful female cultivator’s hopeful gaze, Luo Chen firmly shook his head.

”There’s none left, it was just those few.”

Upon finishing, he didn’t hesitate and turned to leave.

He currently didn’t want to sell the Blood Ignition Pill in large quantities.

This pill’s effects were too particular; if traded on a large scale, it would sooner or later draw the attention of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Didn’t you see how Tian Xingzi directly bought one?

He would consider this issue after he acquires more power!

Seeing him leave, regret flashed in the beautiful female cultivator’s eyes.

”Hui Niang, did he have a large supply of Blood Ignition Pills?”

”No, he said he had only those few.”

”That’s a pity. These pills, if sold in the Xuelian District or Liuguang District, would definitely fetch a high price.”

...

Far away, Luo Chen paused briefly, then resumed his pace, leaving Zhenlong Hall alone.
