Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1047: Chapter 416: Breaking Free from Solid Enclosure, Boosting Blood and Lowering Chen, Xiao Hu Returns Home, Han Zheng Pays Respect to the Mountain

Several days later.

In the Jia First Cave Mansion.

What was once covered in snow had been transformed into an elegant and rustic immortal mansion.

Various flowers and potted plants adorned the place, filling it with vibrant vitality that was pleasant to see.

An elder in a brocade robe resided within, feeding the fish in the small pond in front of him.

The sound of hurried footsteps arose.

Shortly after, a young disciple entered and respectfully said, ”Elder, Friend Dan Chenzi asks for an audience.”

Upon hearing this name, Fei Ming’s eyes brightened.

He had indeed come!

It wasn’t a waste of his repeated gestures of goodwill.

Just like the rumors, Dan Chenzi was truly a person of discerning mind, catching on quickly, and very much on the right track!

”Please let him in,”

Outside the cave mansion.

Luo Chen stood casually to the side, weighing the topics that might be discussed at the upcoming meeting.

There were things the other party wanted, which he was not averse to giving.

But, there had to be the right price.

”Friend Dan Chenzi, Elder Fei invites you in!”

”Hmm, thank you for your trouble.”

Luo Chen nodded and followed the Ailao Mountain Disciple into the cave mansion.

Along the way, the newly transformed setup of the mansion subtly revealed the drastic difference in temperament between its new and old owners, Jueqing Fairy.

Jueqing preferred tranquility and was often in purification.

She seemed to preside over Tian Lan Immortal City, but in reality, she rarely made public appearances, delegating all matters to her disciples.

Fei Ming, however, was quite the opposite.

Since coming to Tian Lan Immortal City, he had been quite active.

Not only did he often invite nearby Golden Core cultivators for gatherings and exchanges, but he was also enthusiastic about various miscellaneous matters of the city.

For instance, aiding in the reconstruction of Danxia was something Jueqing Fairy would never do.

”People who are keen on power and external affairs are actually easier to communicate with,”

”As long as one caters to their preferences, many problems can be easily solved.”

”With someone like Jueqing Fairy, whose temperament is erratic, those of lower realms always face great pressure in interactions.”

Many thoughts flowed through his mind.

Soon, Luo Chen met the person he had come to visit.

Fei Ming threw the last of the bait into the fish pond, clapped his hands, and looked at Luo Chen with a beaming smile.

”Young friend, weren’t you busy with intensive cultivation recently? How come you have time to visit me?”

Luo Chen bowed, ”Junior is here to thank the Ascendant Master for assisting in the reconstruction of Danxia.”

Fei Ming waved his hand, ”You’ve paid for the service, I’m just doing my job for the pay, no thanks needed.”

Luo Chen’s mouth twitched.

Listen to this talk.

A Golden Core Ascendant Master, performing tasks so perfectly, no one would believe it if spread outside.

No kindness without a reason, either a plot or a theft.

What he’s after, is it not the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade in my possession?

But, due to Hao Ranzi and Jueqing Fairy’s precedents, he couldn’t forcefully buy it.

Thus, he was making these gestures of goodwill.

If Luo Chen didn’t respond, it would seem like he wasn’t cooperative, and Fei Ming would then have a reason to target him.

Higher realm cultivators, wanting to manipulate lower order cultivators, indeed have plenty of methods.

Resort to force?

That’s just the simplest and most base method.

Simply show a bit of goodwill, and you have to accept regardless!

Of course, outwardly, it’s necessary to maintain appearances.

After all, Luo Chen also holds the position of a Guest Elder in Ice Castle.

What Luo Chen needs to do now is to offer the other side a way out, and proactively deliver the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade!

It might sound somewhat humiliating.

But if handled well, it’s not without benefits.

”Ascendant Master, you are experienced and knowledgeable, do you perhaps know of the Joint Seven-Orifice Lotus and Trace Mud materials?” Luo Chen took the initiative to ask.

Fei Ming smiled, ”Although the former is a Third Order material and quite rare, I truly do not know. However, the latter... are you intending to use this for crafting your Natal Magic Item?”

Luo Chen was surprised.

”Trace Mud can be used to make a Natal Magic Item?”

Fei Ming nodded, ”Of course, this Fourth Stage material has a natural self-repair function. Much like those so-called Lower Grade Magic Items you are currently using, which are actually quite inferior. A slightly stronger attack can easily destroy them.”

Luo Chen agreed strongly.

Currently, in Yu Ding Realm, Lower Grade Magic Items were overly abundant, although not to the point of one in every hand of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

But anyone with some assets, given some time, could always acquire one or two.

Yet those magic items had obvious flaws.

Difficult to refine, slow to release magical moves, and made of ordinary material, they were very easy to destroy.

This is also why there are often damaged magic items.

”If a Golden Core Cultivator’s Natal Magic Item includes Trace Mud, it can be easily restored as new with minor repairs after being damaged.”

”Such a precious item, its value is not beneath that Thunder Jade of yours!”

Fei Ming hinted broadly.

Luo Chen nodded agreeably.

But in his heart, he scoffed.

The former merely possessing a simple memory function, requiring additional materials for repairs if destroyed.

The latter, however, could impact the Forming Lightning Nascent Soul.

Can their values truly be equated?

Moreover, the Thunder Jade in his possession was not just any Thunder Jade, but Hundred-Year Thunder Jade!

Does this man really think I’m unaware?

Perhaps realizing his approach was a bit unseemly, Fei Ming added a remark.

”Of course, only a sufficient quantity of Trace Mud could compare to a portion of Thunder Jade.”

”Sadly, I only have a few pounds left of Trace Mud.”

A few pounds!

Luo Chen’s eyes brightened; for the restoration of his sister-in-law’s limbs, only two ounces of Trace Mud were needed.

This quantity was more than sufficient!

”May I ask if the Ascendant Master might be willing to part with it?”
