Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1564: Chapter 579: Frequent Moves, High-Profile Luo Chen_2

”One hundred thousand!”

When Luo Chen raised the price to one hundred thousand, there were already very few still bidding.

This price, with a little more on top, could buy a decent lower grade magic item.

To spend it all on a single material is simply absurd.

When the last bidder, with a bit of luck, called out one hundred thousand and one hundred Spirit Stones, Luo Chen did not hesitate to offer an ”exorbitant” one hundred and five thousand.

That person glared at Luo Chen, muttered something under their breath, and then gave up on continuing to bid.

Luo Chen smiled, having secured another material for casting a defensive magic item.

Trace Mud, he had quite a bit of it before.

It was exchanged from Fei Ming, a Golden Core Elder of Ailao Mountain, with the Hundred-Year Thunder Jade.

However, all of it was later added to the Primordial Chaos Tripod, leaving him without a single bit in stock.

Now, spending a huge sum to procure it anew, he grew more confident in crafting defensive magic items.

The maid Ah Qing, who entered again, noted down this auction item for Luo Chen before asking, ”Ascendant Master, you have acquired seven materials so far; are you planning to go backstage to exchange them?”

Luo Chen waved his hand, ”No rush, I still have items I need, I’ll exchange them all together later.”

Ah Qing nodded, but she was secretly astounded in her heart.

This Golden Core Ascendant Master, truly wealthy.

In just half an hour, he spent tens of thousands of Spirit Stones like water.

Without even blinking an eye!

Luo Chen was indeed not in much of a hurry; first, because he came prepared, and second, because he didn’t have much confidence in tool casting. To cope with frequent failures during the casting process, he must prepare enough portions of ores.

The rationale here is the same as his pill refinement.

Besides, he also harbored the intention of broadening his horizons.

He was participating in the large-scale auction of the North Sea for the first time; many splendid items that appeared were unheard of to him.

Understanding a little more about these items would benefit his cultivation.

The auction continued.

Whenever ores related to defensive magic items came up, Luo Chen bid frequently.

As for other items that he found interesting, he suppressed the greed in his heart; he couldn’t afford to spend Spirit Stones recklessly.

It must be said that this auction was large enough, with a rich array of items offered.

First, there was the special Black and Green Treasure Basin Fish, and then there was a continuous flow of middle and lower grade magic items, Luo Chen even saw the legendary ”mermaids”!

It is a species from the Demon Clan, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish.

Although their realm is only Second Order, they fetched tens of thousands of high prices in the bidding competition.

After the appearance of the mermaid, it was only natural that a certain kind of item would appear.

Female Cultivators!

Commonly known as Furnace Ding!

These were items offered by the Mo Luo Sect.

From childhood, they were carefully nurtured, cultivating special techniques, exclusively for high-order cultivators to supplement their energy.

One could enjoy the pleasures of the flesh and improve their power at the same time.

Ten exceptional Furnace Dings were auctioned one by one.

The winning prices varied, satisfying the buyers immensely.

Even some high-realm female cultivators present didn’t look too pleased with the scene.

But with the reputation of the Mo Luo Sect on display, no one dared to cause a scene.

Regarding this, Luo Chen could only sigh; it’s no surprise that the Mo Luo Sect, known to have the most remnants of the Demon Sect, has retained most of their style of conduct.

Not right!

It should be described as unbridled.

In the past, when the Yuan Mo Sect existed, although the North Sea had the concept of Furnace Ding, it was usually done in private, rarely brought out for public trade.

Especially, this was a large-scale auction attended by high-end powers from the southeastern region of the North Sea!

”If the Mo Luo Sect truly takes over the North Sea, no matter if their strength exceeds that of the Yuan Mo Sect or not, at least their conduct remains unadulterated.”

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

Then, his spirits lifted as he turned his attention to the new auction item.

”Weaving Gold, a Third Order metal attribute ore. Notable for its excellent extensibility, it is an ideal accessory material for crafting vestment robes, Daoist robes, and defense magic items.”

”During tool casting, if a sufficient amount of Weaving Gold is melded with the Ruyi Array, it can transform thousands of times, changing its size at will.”

”A total of seventy-two jin, starting bid at fifty thousand Spirit Stones, each raise must not be less than one thousand.”

”Anyone interested...”

Luo Chen made his move.

This batch of Weaving Gold was not as high in Order as Trace Mud, but it was abundant in quantity.

Therefore, the price was quite high.

Many who joined the bidding were tool casting powers; if used well, it’s hard to know how many magical weapons and treasures could be manufactured.

Such powers often have substantial financial resources.

Thus, Luo Chen’s competition with them required even greater expense.

But buoyed by the intimidation from his successful previous bids with few failures, those tool casting powers were also lamenting.

”Enough! Enough!”

”Who knows where that fellow came from, so willing to pay such a price for these materials that seem precious but are actually quite common.”

”Let’s not compete with him; otherwise, we won’t be able to recover the cost.”

”One hundred and seventy thousand, what a lunatic!”

Eventually, Luo Chen obtained this batch of Weaving Gold for one hundred and seventy thousand Spirit Stones.

The auction process continued.

Seeing Luo Chen about to make another move, and with his unbridled manner, Han Zhan hidden inside the Primordial Chaos Tripod grew anxious.

”Luo Chen...”

”Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Didn’t you see that I haven’t even spoken once about resources related to Spirit Plants and medicine? Concerning the Art of Origin Core and the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, I will definitely help you secure the Soul Nourishing Wood!”

Han Zhan, with no other option, suppresses his eagerness.

And at the auction, Luo Chen’s frequent bids also attracted many people’s attention.

On the third floor.

Wu Qi and Ying Mo, along with several others, sat in a large private room, also engaged in various discussions.
