Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 618: Chapter 259: Dragon and Phoenix Twin Pills, Core Formation Spirit Pill_1

After Foundation Establishment, the elixir Luo Chen primarily consumed was the lower grade Rising Dragon Pellets.

Thanks to the potent medicinal strength, his unbroken consumption, and other supplementary resources, he managed to progress from the second layer of Foundation Establishment to the third in just three short years.

However, after advancing to the third layer of Foundation Establishment...

His cultivation speed slowed down again.

Or rather, it wasn’t that it became ”slower”, but as his cultivation level increased, the amount of Spirit Qi required for each stage also increased.

Compared to the increased upper limit, the originally fixed cultivation speed naturally led to slower progress.

Regarding this situation...

Luo Chen had been trying to solve it, but ultimately was powerless.

The mainstream cultivation pills provided by the major sects were only of lower grades.

Even if he had money, there was nowhere to buy them!

Thankfully, there was still the auction!

”Although it’s not a medium grade Rising Dragon Pill, the medicinal strength of the medium grade Qi Condensing Pill should nonetheless surpass that of the lower grade Rising Dragon Pill considerably.”

”This item is of great use to me!”

Luo Chen wouldn’t let this opportunity pass, and so he decisively joined the bidding.

With his ample cash flow and well-crafted auction experience,

Luo Chen quickly secured thirty bottles.

For this, he spent nearly forty thousand Spirit Stones.

You must know that these were just medium grade Qi Condensing Pills and thirty bottles for nearly forty thousand Spirit Stones meant over a thousand for each bottle.

Yet another outstanding transaction at a premium price!

But having no choice, to trade Spirit Stones for time, you must pay this price.

After securing thirty bottles, Luo Chen stopped.

He didn’t participate in the subsequent seven auctions.

”Although I still want more, thirty bottles are enough for me to use for nearly a year.”

”If I continue to bid, I will easily offend others.”

With Luo Chen’s absence, the transaction price of the Qi Condensing Pills in the subsequent auctions was relatively lower.

But the auction atmosphere was even more heated than before.

Each bid wasn’t very high, but the competition was fierce. By the last two times, the prices rose again.

Watching this scene, Luo Chen sighed inwardly.

It wasn’t just him who understood these principles.

But the mainstream cultivation pills of the medium and ascendant grades have always been strictly controlled by the Great Sects.

Everyone understood the principle, but it was truly a seller’s market!

”Thirty bottles can last me for a while, but what about after that?”

”I surely can’t wait every ten years only to auction for one year’s supply!”

Although his immediate worries were gone, after experiencing the Heart Inquiry Mirror simulation, he was used to looking further into his future plans.

Although he could see, there was currently no better solution.

The auction was still ongoing.

The closer to the end, the more valuable the resources that appeared.

Previously, it was mostly Luo Chen, Lu Rong, and these Early and Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators competing.

But now, the late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators also became active.

Even those Golden Core Ascendant Masters began bidding in succession.

Luo Chen gradually fell silent.

Until...

”Big Brother Luo.”

”Hm, I understand.”

The third order healing pill required by Kang Xianqiong appeared.

Many people participated in the bid this time.

Luo Chen exhausted quite a bit of energy before he could pay a high price to secure it.

”Friend Kang, I apologize. I ended up spending an additional five thousand Spirit Stones than what I had estimated.”

Kang Xianqiong hurriedly shook his head, his face filled with excitement and gratitude.

”Just being able to secure it was not easy. If it weren’t for your participation, I probably wouldn’t have been able to get it.”

”Thank you, truly, thank you.”

Luo Chen smiled and accepted his thanks.

As Kang Xianqiong said, even if he had enough spirit stones, it would be difficult to secure this item.

This large-scale auction was no longer purely about financial power.

Because of the reveal in identity information,

Many times, each bid had a motive of challenging the others.

Luo Chen could secure this item for Kang Xianqiong, in addition to the high price, because he used the name of the Luo Tian Creed and the momentum accumulated from several previous bids.

Everyone knew he was rich.

When he was determined to get something, ordinary people really couldn’t compete with him.

If he was only blindly raising the price, it would be fine, but unexpectedly, Luo Chen also stopped bidding a few times during the process.

It was clear that he wasn’t a reckless youth who would bid recklessly just because he had money.

If the price was really driven up-

And Luo Chen suddenly didn’t want it-

Then the loss would be their own.

After fulfilling his promise to Kang Xianqiong, Luo Chen felt a release in his heart.

The necessary items, he had essentially secured all of them.

He spent quite a lot of money today.

For the remainder of the auction, he planned to be purely an onlooker.

Not because his financial resources were insufficient, nor because those items weren’t good.

But because the participants were many, whom he couldn’t afford to offend.

”The lower grade magic item, Thousand Repeated Stamp, 55 thousand for the third time!”

”Congratulations to Brother Lian Cang of Ailao Mountain!”

Looking at the magic item that was sold, Luo Chen’s eyes held a hint of envy.

He recognized this magic item.

The Repeated Stamp in his storage bag was created with the aim of mimicking the Thousand Repeated Stamp. It was only renamed because the original was a failure.

The Repeated Stamp’s attack was somewhat clumsy.

But the Thousand Repeated Stamp didn’t have as many shortcomings.

Although he was envious, he wouldn’t possibly bid against the person named Lian Cang.

Because that person was a Golden Core Cultivator!

Not only for this item,

The upcoming items were increasingly valuable,

Even the appearance of a medium grade magic item, which was sold to a Golden Core Ascendant Master from the Qingdan Valley for an astonishing price of 350,000.

This high price was jaw-dropping!

The people next to Luo Chen, Sima Huiniang, Kang Xianqiong, were dumbstruck.

Even the usually calm Wang Yuan was unusually flustered.
