Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 662: Chapter 273 Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain, Ten Thousand Li of Yellow Sands Wasteland_3

These two, seemingly high in selling price, and highly profitable.

In reality, it is only ”seemingly” so.

The cost is three times that of the Jade Marrow Pill, and even if each batch of raw materials is successful, the yield is only three pills.

There is no scale to be gained, the process is difficult, and the market can only cater to a few Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

Moreover, with repeated usage of this elixir, the effect will worsen.

Plus, its heaven-defying effect of increasing the Divine Soul Endowment could easily make it the target of the Great Sects.

Based on the above, it’s concluded that Tongyou Pill can’t possibly be used for mass profit.

Luo Chen intends to refine only Top Grade Tongyou Pills for his own use.

Occasionally refining a few Lower Grade Tongyou Pills, placing them in the Luo Tian Creed, to be used for internal benefits.

The flying boat flies at high speed.

Soon, he returned to the Tian Lan Immortal City.

Without any hesitation, Luo Chen headed straight to the shop in Qingdan Valley.

First, he inquired about Xuan Yunzi’s presence.

He was interested to inquire about the news of the Medium Grade Rising Dragon Pill from him.

Compared to the Ice Castle in the bitterly cold place, the Qingdan Valley which is famous in the Yu Ding Region for pill refinement, is more likely to leak out the Medium Grade Rising Dragon Pill!

Besides, his ”relationship” with Xuan Yunzi seemed not bad.

Unfortunately.

After inquiring, he was informed that the other party had already returned to the Sect.

”Elder He isn’t a permanent rotational Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in Qingdan Pavilion, he has a high level of pill refinement, and is highly valued in the valley. This time he came to Tianlan Immortal City was for potential medicinal ingredients at the auction, he personally made a trip.”

”Having successfully obtained what he wanted, he didn’t stay for long, he left half a year ago.”

The maid explained thus.

Helplessly, Luo Chen dismissed the idea of getting to know the rotational Foundation Establishment of Qingdan Pavilion.

He took out his discount card and bought nearly a year’s worth of Lower Grade Rising Dragon Pills.

After discounts, he still spent a full nineteen thousand Spirit Stones.

The speed of spending money caused Luo Chen to be a bit heartache.

Previously, his family property was just a solid sixty thousand Spirit Stones.

A year down, only an additional one hundred thousand.

Adding up the one hundred and ten thousand he collected today, the total is only two hundred and seventy thousand.

But this is just an approximate number.

Usually, Luo Chen seems to not go out, but his expenses weren’t low either.

Whether it’s high-quality Spirit Rice, shriekingly sliced meat of Second Order Demon Beasts, a stalk of Fierce Divine Fragrance every day, or occasionally used auxiliary pills.

His Spirit Stones have always been consumed at a terrifying pace.

Two hundred and seventy thousand?

No, earlier he only had two hundred and forty thousand left.

This time, he spent another nineteen thousand.

He exited the door.

Luo Chen didn’t set up the Langqi Flying Boat, but strolled along the spacious streets.

He still had some things to buy later.

Pill refinement consumes a lot, not just energy, the consumption of durability of some utensils is also visible to the naked eye.

Involving the Jade Dew Pill, he also had to go buy the Hundred Flowers Dew, and incidentally buy the Fierce Divine Fragrance for the upcoming year.

This expenditure will already take away another ten thousand or so Spirit Stones.

”Fortunately, Sima Huiniang has adjusted the merit policy of the Luo Tian Creed, otherwise, if we continue like this, my annual surplus of one hundred thousand might be gone.”

”Even so, one hundred thousand per year, with all my expenses, I can’t save tens of thousands.”

”What will I compete for the Core Formation Spirit Pill in the future?”

”I have heard that after Core Formation, you have to create a Natal Magic Item for yourself, and this is a huge expense.”

If he, Luo Chen, were to forge a Natal Magic Item, he would definitely not choose the commonly sold ones on the market.

Those magic items, their functional effects, have been mostly figured out by people.

Moreover, these magic items basically lose the ability to grow, and it is difficult for the quality to improve with his advancement.

”Thinking too far, these are things after Core Formation.”

Having come out of Food Fragrance Pavilion, Luo Chen made another trip to Tianyi Building.

He spent seven thousand Spirit Stones, buying a brand new Top Grade Robe.

Comes with four functions: cleaning, defending, dust avoiding, and wind controlling.

At this point, twenty thousand Spirit Stones were gone.

”Looking at it closely, it will only take about a year for me to advance to the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.”

”What about after the Middle Stage?”

”The Spirit Power needed for each stage will only be more, the cultivation progress will only be slower, I must obtain enough high-grade pills.”

”This means, a large sum of money!”

”Now, I only have two hundred thousand Spirit Stones left.”

”It’s not enough, nowhere near enough!”

People who do not think far ahead will suffer in the near future.

Luo Chen has already begun to plan and plot for his cultivation after reaching the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Firstly, he needs to focus on his own wealth.

Otherwise, even if someone managed to get him the channels to acquire high-grade elixirs, he probably wouldn’t be able to afford them.

Don’t forget, the rent for an Ascendant Grade Cave House is also terrifying!

Moreover, it seems that Ice Castle’s turn to oversee the Tianlan Immortal City is nearing its ten years period.

If they no longer hold the shift, would the new Golden Core Great Sect still give him the privilege of an annual rental?

If not, he would have to spend a whopping 480,000 Spirit Stones all at once!

”The profits from the Jade Marrow Pills can be seen at a glance.”

”Should I start prioritizing the revenue from the Jade Dew Pills?”

He arrived at the entrance of the Sky-born Water Defense Array.

Luo Chen casually greeted the guarding cultivator and strolled in.

In his head, he was still pondering.

As a second-order elixir, Jade Dew Pill has a high selling price and is very scarce, but the cost is also high.

One batch of raw materials costs 100 Spirit Stones, and it’s subject to market price fluctuations that cause prices to rise intermittently.

Worst of all, once the prices go up, they don’t come down.

Disgusting!

Previously, Luo Chen could only refine one bottle from ten batches of raw materials.

The key point is that he had voluntarily given up on the high selling price of scarce elixirs to maintain his connection with Ice Castle, selling each bottle for only 500 Stones.

That is to say, he was selling them at 500 Stones while they cost him 1000 Stones to make.

He was losing money to maintain relationships!

That is only human nature.

However, as Dan Taijun required more and more Jade Dew Pills, his losses increased.

Losing 500 Stones per bottle, he would lose 2500 per year.

After the ten-year period, he would have to supply 100 bottles per year, which would result in a pure loss of 25,000!

This doesn’t even include the waste of Luo Chen’s time and energy.

”If I want to maintain a close relationship while also making money from them.”

”The only way is to increase the rank of the elixirs I’m selling.”

Luo Chen can accomplish this.

His proficiency in refining Jade Dew Pills has already reached the mastery level, allowing him to refine Medium-grade Jade Dew Pills.

”No!”

”I can’t rush!”

”Rising to the medium rank within a short few years, though it can be explained with talent, it is indeed too risky.”

Suppressing the eager thoughts in his heart, Luo Chen forced himself to calm down.

He was only losing money!

The current income is enough to support his cultivation.

As for the future, he can plan ahead, but absolutely cannot rush.

Everything has to be done step by step.

”Master, you’re back!”

”Yes.”

”What would you like for dinner?”

”I will not be having dinner later, just stew this Golden Fur Chicken for me, I’ll have the soup tomorrow morning. Also, this is the Ascendant Grade Hundred Yin Robe I just bought from Tianyi Building, try it on and see if it fits.”

Bai Meiling took the squirming Golden Fur Chicken and excitedly took the Hundred Yin Robe into the house.

She was a Yin Soul and the clothes she wore were manifested by the Yin Soul Spirit.

This Hundred Yin Robe was woven from numerous Yin energies mixed with special materials, making it perfectly suitable for her.

In the future, there would be no need to waste the energy of the Yin Soul to manifest clothes.

After she went into the house, Luo Chen went into his Quiet Room for cultivation.

Looking at the lower-grade Rising Dragon Pill in his hand, Luo Chen let out a bitter smile.

”So be it, let’s endure the slowed progress in cultivation, and focus on reaching the middle phase of Foundation Establishment first!”

He flicked his fingers, and the Rising Dragon Pill was swallowed.

Fierce Divine Fragrance gradually rose.

In the midst of the smoke, Luo Chen, now dressed in a red cloud robe, sat cross-legged.

With a clear mind, he absorbed countless Spirit Qi into the Sea of Qi.

In that third layer of heaven, the clusters of Spirit Qi, which had turned into accumulated heavenly clouds, gradually condensed under the operation of the cultivation technique.

After a long while.

A drop of Spirit Liquid, with a soft noise, fell into the small lake filled with Spirit Liquid below.
