Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1302: Chapter 495: Reforging Flying Wings, Bidding for the Third Order Wolf King

After two years, Luo Chen returned to Moon-Breaking Immortal City.

Compared to two years ago, the city had become even busier.

Countless cultivators were coming and going, with quite a few mortals occasionally seen—it seemed that some Immortal Cultivation Clans had relocated here with their mortal members.

It was said that not long ago, Luo Yun Sect had proposed relocating a group of mortals from the inland to nearby areas to propagate and establish a mortal kingdom, with the goal of supplementing the sources of Lower Order Cultivators.

However!

Beneath the surface bustle, Luo Chen still perceived a certain heavy atmosphere.

The front line’s first major defeat was bound to have an impact on the rear areas—it was simply impossible for it not to.

And the effects of this became evident when Luo Chen visited Tool Casting Grandmaster Hu Yan Zhuo.

”An appointment is needed?”

”Yes, my master has recently taken on many commissioned tasks and is especially busy. Therefore, without an appointment... I’m sorry, Senior Dan Chenzi.”

Looking at the Tian Fan City disciple who was neither servile nor overbearing, Luo Chen felt quite at ease.

He thought for a moment and said, ”If that’s the case, then please arrange an appointment for me!”

The disciple hesitated, ”This timing?”

Luo Chen handed over a Sound Transmission Paper Crane to the other party and said with a warm smile, ”It’s fine, I have been quite free recently. Whenever Hu Yan Zhuo finds some time, just notify me.”

The disciple quickly nodded his head.

After Luo Chen left, he carefully put away the Sound Transmission Paper Crane.

”This rumored Pill Refinement Grandmaster has quite a pleasant temperament.”

Mumbling to himself, he then headed towards the Tool Casting Hall inside Tian Fan City, where Hu Yan Zhuo, assisted by a group of Foundation Establishment Stage Tool Casting Crafters, was busily engaged in an orderly manner.

He quietly waited for a long time at the side.

Until Hu Yan Zhuo, drenched in sweat, came over for a rest.

”You continue, this aqua-gold stone is extremely heat-resistant. We must smelt it continuously day and night for nineteen days before it can be used for Artifact Refining,” he instructed casually, then turned to look at the disciple who seemed to have something to say.

”Ren Gui, is there something you need?”

Ren Gui immediately handed the Sound Transmission Paper Crane to him.

”It’s Senior Dan Chenzi, he wishes to see you.”

”See me?”

Hu Yan Zhuo frowned slightly, ”That can’t be right. Although you guys repaired the Xuanhuo Sword last time and the results were certainly satisfactory, I personally spent a whole day fixing the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel. It shouldn’t have any issues. Why would he want to see me?”

In a low voice, Ren Gui said, ”As far as I know, the Luotian Alliance lost a Golden Core Cultivator on the front line.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Yan Zhuo was initially stunned, but then he understood and smiled.

He took a sip of tea and chuckled to himself, ”It seems he is in a hurry! That’s right, last time I noticed he refined a bunch of Lower Grade Magic Items willy-nilly, probably because he didn’t have a Natal Magic Item to refine, leaving him with that energy to spare. This time he’s looking for me, I guess he wants me to personally craft a Natal Magic Item to enhance his battle power!”

Seeing the puzzled and clueless expression on Ren Gui’s face.

Hu Yan Zhuo nudged his mouth, ”Ren Gui, don’t lump those Small Sect and Rogue Cultivator Golden Core Cultivators with us. Not everyone can have a suitable Natal Magic Item immediately upon advancing to the Golden Core Period. It’s only in our Sky Sail City that such treatment is available.”

With sudden realization, Ren Gui’s pride as a disciple of Sky Sail City grew even more.

He asked, ”So Master, do you want to see him?”

Hu Yan Zhuo was indeed a bit hesitant.

Custom crafting a Natal Magic Item is the most profitable business, with commissions nearly equivalent to the value of the item itself.

But such a task was also extremely time-consuming!

During this Open War period, taking on large quantities of Magic Tool repair tasks and producing and selling standard Magic Tools was even more profitable.

If he were to take on Luo Chen’s task...

”Crafting a Natal Magic Item has a high failure rate and also consumes a lot of time; I’m not eager to meet him,” he muttered softly.

Ren Gui got the hint, ”Should I go and refuse him in a couple of days?”

Hu Yan Zhuo was about to nod.

But recalling a rumor, he shook his head instead.

”Let’s meet!”

”It’s said when he first entered the Golden Core Period, he was recognized by Qing Danzi of Qingdan Valley and was directly invited to craft Nascent Soul Formation Pills. In recent years, he has also successfully refined Third Order Cultivation Pills and even provides a stable supply to others, which shows the strength of his Pill Technique.”

”Such a personage, it’s best to maintain a relationship even if one can’t help. You never know; I might need elixirs from him in the future.”

”Once I finish the matters at hand, arrange a meeting with him for me!”

Ren Gui hummed in acknowledgment, taking note of the matter.

...

After leaving Wanbao Pavilion.

Luo Chen went to the Luo Tian Treasure Hall, the former number 8th shop.

Once there, he did little but confirm the Immortal City Auction’s timing with Xu Huanzhen, then quietly waited.

This trip to Moon-Breaking Immortal City, he had two matters to handle.

He could only hope that nothing would go awry!

...

The auction was scheduled to take place in half a month.

In the meantime, news from Hu Yan Zhuo arrived first.

Without delay, Luo Chen visited Wanbao Pavilion once again the very same day.

He saw Hu Yan Zhuo again.

The little old man had aged quite a bit compared to before, a sign of his recent busyness.

However, the spirit in his eyes suggested that he had earned quite a lot, similar to when Luo Chen himself was thrilled every time he received payment for elixirs from Chen Xiuli and Song Mi.

After a round of pleasantries, they got straight to the point!
